I handed in the sand sculpture through the book system

"What?" Mu Chen's eyes widened: "You said that all the important officials in the court have become - crooked mouth?"

King Qi nodded coldly, but Mu Chen still found it inconceivable.Maybe it was because he was called up in the middle of the night and his mind was still not clear, so he asked again in a daze:

"Is it really all... a crooked mouth?"

King Qi's brows were tightly furrowed, and the veins in his temples were twitching violently, which was clearly a sign of fury. Fortunately, Leu Ye was extremely secretive so far, otherwise his trusted followers would probably have knelt down on the ground.However, before the anger arose, King Qi unconsciously flashed the artillery fire from the northern army camp a few months ago, so he forcibly suppressed the anger with a breath of true energy, not even daring to speak too loudly:

"Since the first day of the first day of the Haitian today, the family members of important ministers have been looking for me in an endless stream, saying that something has happened to my lord." He said coldly: "So far, there have been one prime minister, two ministers, and two chariots. General, they have something to do with some kind of 'fairy medicine'."

After that, he carefully examined the opposite side, and sure enough, he saw some kind of embarrassing panic on Mu Chen's face.King Qi looked away, looked up and down the pitch-black other courtyard, and couldn't help but groaned in his heart.

Most of the servants in the other courtyard were transferred from the Qi Wang Mansion, so Qi Wang knew every step from recruiting people to testing medicine.But it was precisely because of this that he became very puzzled—two or thirty people in the other courtyard had already tried the mysterious potion, but nothing happened in the past few days; there were signs of skin tightening and youthful rejuvenation visible to the naked eye .

The defense of the other courtyard is not strict, and the important ministers he can detect must know it.That's why these ancient and octogenarians are so bold, and can't wait to test this longevity medicine on themselves...

But how did this happen?

King Qi withdrew his gaze: "The important ministers are speaking in unison, so it can't be a lie. I don't know how your honor can explain it?"

Standing behind Mu Chen, Xiang Liang and Bei Yan exchanged glances, and they were also a little surprised.They have all read the instructions carefully and know that this drug is indeed safe. Even if there is any medication error, it is just a short-term muscle numbness that can recover on its own, unless the dose greatly exceeds the standard...

But think about the rapacious behavior of powerful officials in the Middle Ages.It doesn't seem strange?

But in any case, this is what the important ministers have done to themselves, and Xiang Liang doesn't intend to get used to these medical troubles.So he took a step forward and directly blocked back:

"Your Majesty's words are strange. We recruited people outside the city to test the medicine, and now everyone is alive and well. Why are the adults outside twisting their mouths and trying to talk to us? Could it be that we gave Did the medicine make adults crook their mouths?"

The corner of King Qi’s mouth twitched, and he really wanted to ask the people in Hengyang Palace to adjust their words, at least not to twist their mouths in the past and back... But now is not the time to entangle this, he was silent for a while, and could only sigh:

"You two don't have to shirk, you have to find a way."

The prime ministers and ministers just sent people to come late at night. Obviously, they did not dare to speak out loudly because they were wronged, and there is still room for mediation for the time being.If it is really going to be delayed until tomorrow to make things worse, King Qi is also determined not to turn against his important ministers...

Of course, he couldn't turn his back on his allies who had blown up half the camp with a single wave.So King Qi quickly adjusted his expression, expressing a trace of worry on his face:

"Nowadays is an extraordinary time, and the state affairs are heavy. If something happens to the elders of the court, the whole body will be shaken." His voice was low, and his tone was as earnest as possible: "Your important ministers sent their confidantes to the door, and there is sincerity in apologizing."

Speaking of this, King Qi hesitated for a moment.According to the unspoken rules of dealing with affairs in the imperial court, when it comes to this, everyone should have a tacit understanding with each other, and a few jokes can seal the price.After all, they are both gentlemen, and talking about copper stink is too shameful... But after getting along for so long, he has understood his allies. If he really wants to make side attacks, he will probably only get three stupid faces.So he quickly offered the price:

"Everyone has come from afar, and it is quite inconvenient for guests to live here. It is not easy to live in Chang'an. Cui Xianggong is willing to do his hero's favor and present a house in Yongxingfang..."

Mu Chen took a small breath immediately.Before the palace change, they used drones to explore the terrain of Chang'an, and then compared it with historical books to confirm and draw the map. Therefore, when they heard the name, they matched the location——Yongxingfang is to the north of Chang'an City, two miles west of Chufang City It is the Forbidden Garden of the Imperial City, and three miles to the east is Dushengtai Pavilion.The terrain is tight and the transportation is convenient. Those who can occupy a place are all high-ranking officials, dignitaries, and family members. Throwing a brick can hit the carriage of a third-rank official... and the Yongxingfang mansion that the prime minister surnamed Cui mentioned is also very famous in Chang'an City. It is famous, and it is said that the rich decoration is not under the inner hall of the imperial city, so it is called "Cui Tiangong".Previously, Bei Yan was curious, and specially asked the drone to take pictures of Cui's mansion and courtyard in Yongxingfang.After seeing the photos, everyone was greatly shocked. Compared with this house, even Ning Rong's second mansion in "A Dream of Red Mansions" is considered petty...

According to Mu Chen's understanding, then this is like giving yourself a villa complex within the second ring road of the capital, plus a private forest park... No, if you consider that Chang'an City in the Middle Ages was an extraordinary place in the entire human world. Status, if you use the capital as an example, it is considered to be touching porcelain.

Fortunately, Mu Chen has seen a lot of market situations in the past few months. Although his heart is agitated and shaken, he can barely maintain his composure and continue to shut up, leaving the scene to professionals.Xiang Liang and Bei Yan were also quite shocked, but after looking at each other, they remained silent.

King Qi secretly looked at the expressions of the three, and couldn't help taking a small breath in his heart.He has personally experienced the extravagance of the Hengyang Prince's Mansion. Of course, he doesn't expect a mansion to impress these high-ranking and extravagant people who don't know the word "pity", but it is still the first-class mansion in Chang'an Yongxingfang , don't even bother to say anything!

How much do they charge?

Helpless, King Qi threw out the second condition:

"The weather is getting hotter now, and staying in the house all the time will inevitably be boring. The two ministers Yang and Wang have two or three thousand mu of manors in Maoling, and they are willing to offer them to your honor and express their affection."

Wulingyuan, where the Mausoleum of the Han Emperor is located, is the most popular place where the rich, the noble, the romantic, and the wealth converge in the outskirts of Chang'an.The so-called "dragons, horses, flowers and snowy hairs, golden saddles and five mausoleums", although it does not have the power of Chang'an Palace City, it is indeed a first-class place for hunting and pleasure.The riches and riches of the Wuling Plain have nothing to count, and the fields and mountains are already worth every inch of land. The only ones who can scrape together a large manor of two to three thousand acres here are the top aristocratic families like the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Yang family of Hongnong.

However, Xiang Liang was still expressionless, so Mu Chen was also expressionless.King Qi frowned, and could only give the final offer:

"There is a place to cool off in summer, and you can't go anywhere in spring. Generals Du and Wei have a horse farm of thousands of acres at the foot of Lishan Mountain, and they also raise hundreds of horses. They are from the Western Regions. A legacy of BMW..."

Xiang Liang blinked, then quietly raised his right hand under the cover of his long sleeves, and tugged at Mu Chen's skirt.

Mu Chen understood immediately, coughed and took a step forward.

"I don't know how your lords are doing now?" He said kindly, "Oh please don't get me wrong, we're not interested in money, we mainly want to do our part for state affairs..."

·

Although the important ministers caused an accident with random injections, this medical beauty drug is indeed quite safe. As long as you soak your face in hot water and apply ointment that stimulates the muscles, the symptoms of numbness will be quickly relieved.Xiang Liang took out the ointment and handed it to King Qi, and explained the method of using it in detail.King Qi didn't dare to delay, so he set off to return to the palace overnight, and before leaving, he specifically asked Mu Chen and others that there was no need to reveal what happened tonight.

Even so, as soon as the night passed, all kinds of news immediately flew all over Chang'an—a prime minister, two ministers, and two chariot generals sent people into the palace in Leuye, and Cui Wang Yang Weidu, the king of Beijing, and others all disturbed the commotion in the city. As long as the courtiers with a slightly keen sense of smell can smell something wrong.It's just that no matter how much you guess and doubt, you can't find any news from the palace and the mansion of the important ministers, which naturally aroused many people's worries.

Ordinary officials are panicked, but the bigwigs who are also listed in the provincial capital have other sources of news.Shortly after the people from the Prime Minister Shangshu's Mansion went straight to the palace, a general informant had already been circulated among the upper echelons of Chang'an.In the early morning of the second day, when the medical officers of the imperial medical office returned from the mansions of several important ministers, they even inquired about the direction in which the prime minister's mouth was crooked.

Of course, the bigwigs in the capital and provinces don't care much about whether the prime minister's mouth is crooked or not.To be honest, seeing an old face for so many years is disgusting to each other, maybe there is still an asymmetrical beauty after crooked mouth.But a few days ago, they had reached a tacit agreement to advance and retreat together in the political affairs hall, and now the high-ranking officials of the DPRK and China have more or less gathered some wool in other courtyards... Now the person who tried the medicine by himself has become like this. Did he get plucked by someone?

As a result, Chang'an was turbulent for a while, and the dignitaries issued a death order to pry out the potion from the Prime Minister's Mansion. All the famous doctors in the city scoured and kept them at home to keep an eye on the angle of the mouth at all times.

But at noon that day, the tense atmosphere in the court dissipated—the spies sent out by the ministers finally found out the exact news, knowing that the symptoms of the prime ministers and ministers were all caused by greed, and Weiren Hall had sent After understanding the medicine, the symptoms are also rapidly turning around.The outsiders also sent unexpected news: Although several high-ranking ministers had been beaten with their mouths crooked and their faces slanted and stiff for half a day, the wrinkles on that crooked, twisted, slobbering old face could clearly be seen fading.

As a result, the bosses were overjoyed, and the burning desire for longevity was even more fueled and unstoppable—I used the fairy medicine to make alchemy, and I didn’t know how to go crazy after taking it. The ministers are not afraid, and they are brave and diligent , not to mention a mere crooked mouth!Even more savvy people sniffed out the key from the news, and even convened a staff to discuss privately:

"I heard that the Cui family and the Yang family donated all the mansions and manors inside and outside Chang'an City, saying that they were rewarding the expenses of the doctors. What kind of doctors can afford such a heavy gift? It's just a preparation for asking for medicine. It's too late for me to see the matter, and I missed a move! Hey, I don't know if it will be useful to offer land and population now?"

After confiding his heart in this way, the nobleman is also quite suspicious:

"—But when I think about it, I'm always puzzled. Wei Ren Dian has nothing to do with immortal medicine in his life. How can he come up with such a thing today? Could it be that there is really some secret technique in the palace? But after a few The life expectancy of the first emperor is really not like..."`

.

The pervasive doubts in the elite circles were quickly explained.In the early morning of the second day, King Qi once again summoned important officials in the capital province.In the Zhengshitang, except for a few people who complained about the illness, the rest of the servants and servants all lowered their heads and held their voices, standing in silence to listen to the order.King Qi solemnly declared in public, claiming that the so-called "there are Southern Dynasty medicine men detained in Chang'an City, and immortality is just around the corner" is purely a rumor in Beijing.

The guards following King Qi took a step forward, holding the edict with both hands.The attendant on duty today bowed his head respectfully and took it, and then saluted King Qi to show that he obeyed the will.

The guard holding the decree retreated behind King Qi, but murmured a little in his heart: If he heard correctly, the elders standing in front seemed to have suddenly realized... oh?
