The emperor is embarrassed
Chapter 86
Daoist Zhong is by no means the kind of old, scumbag old man that people imagine. As a well-known Daoist with profound Taoism, he is quite young.
Ming Zhan looked at him coldly, and he looked about 40 to [-] years old.And it's not the one with kind eyebrows, kind eyes, and immortal demeanor. At least it gives people the impression that it is intellectual and refined, and you can pretend to be a scholar by changing your bachelor's shirt.
Ming Zhan couldn't believe it, "The Immortal Elder looks tender, how many years have you practiced on the mountain?"
Zhong Daoren replied, "Taoist is Emperor Taizu who went to the mountain for 15 years, and now, it has been more than 140 years."
"Look at the immortal elder, who is only in his thirties or forties." In fact, Ming Zhan was quite disdainful in his heart. If it wasn't for the age limit, Ming Zhan would have knocked out a tooth of his to measure his bone age!Tsk, Feifei of his family is considered to be in good condition. He is only in his early twenties now, and when he goes out, the little lady will still blush when she looks at Feifei.Of course, Ming Zhan is often jealous of this.This Taoist practiced in the mountains every day, he didn't eat or drink bad food, and he wasn't born with tender skin, he was a ghost if he could look young.
Daoist Zhong replied honestly, "Pindao went up the mountain at the age of five, and now he is 140 years old."
Ming Zhan laughed twice and exclaimed, "It would be great if I could live such a long life like a fairy."
"I heard that it is not uncommon for people who practice Taoism to pursue longevity, and it is not uncommon for them to live for hundreds of years." Ming Zhan said, "The age of a fairy is not short in the world of mortals, but for people who practice Taoism, it is simply You are too young. The immortal head went down the mountain at such a young age, can the masters and brothers at home feel relieved?" Where is the old nest, hurry up and tell me!
Cut the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze will give birth again!
Taoist Zhong found it inconceivable, he hasn't started fooling around yet, why does it feel like His Majesty the Emperor has already fallen into the trap?This is really a fucking sense of accomplishment!
"Family, teachers, brothers and sisters have all traveled all over the world, and I don't know when they will return. Taoists have been learning Taoism for a long time, and if their hearts are occasionally inflamed, they go down the mountain and walk, which is also an experience."
"Oh." Ming Zhan asked, "Are you married?"
Daoist Zhong was a person who had seen the world, yet he was surprised by Ming Zhan's question like a mere mortal.
"Do you know West Lake?"
Taoist Zhong didn't know why Ming Zhan asked this question, so he nodded, "The Taoist knows."
"Can you see many years from now?"
People say that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, even Taoist Zhong, who is used to fooling people with tricks, feels that the emperor's words are difficult to accept.Ming Zhan didn't seem to intend to let him pick it up either, Ming Zhan said flatly, "After many years, there will be a world-class transsexual love there."
"More than 1000 years ago, a little shepherd boy rescued a little white snake in the hands of an old snake catcher on Kunlun Mountain. Now the white snake is still practicing in Kunlun Mountain. In a few years, the white snake will shed its snake body and become In human form, if the white snake wants to become a fairy, it must repay the life-saving grace of the previous life. And the shepherd boy who once saved the white snake will be reincarnated. In Gusu City, the surname is Xu Mingxian. The love between Xu Xian and the snake demon , will move the world.”
Taoist Zhong was overjoyed immediately, bowed down and bowed down with admiration on his face, "It turns out that Your Majesty is a member of the same path!"
Ming Zhan laughed out loud.
There is nothing else in the palace, and there are many empty rooms, so I ordered people to clean up a place, so that Taoist Zhong can practice alchemy with peace of mind.
Ming Zhan naturally added a hobby, he didn't like the harem, he didn't like luxury, he fell in love with alchemy.
A group of ministers wanted to hit the wall.
In view of the emperor's preference, the Taoist priests in the entire empire ran to the imperial capital like cats smelling fish, hoping to win the emperor's favor and become a national teacher or something.
Ouyang Ke and the others wished they could chop up Fang Shenxing, who recommended Zhong Daoren, into meat stuffing and feed them to the dogs. That's right, you have provoked public anger, Xiao Shen."
"Minister, I have a heart of loyalty to the emperor." Fang Shenxing wished he could howl to redress his grievances, God is sorry, he did not want to recommend Zhong Daoren to make alchemy for His Majesty, Fang Shenxing was very bitter to persuade the king, "Your Majesty, Matters of metaphysics are illusory, so don’t trust them lightly.”
Ming Zhan peeled an orange and asked Fang Shenxing, "Now that the emperor has come to these Taoists, what do you think you should do if you caused trouble?"
Fang Shenxing's family is weak now, and it can't cover him at all.The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty wanted to kill him. If Ming Zhan hadn't had a good conscience and was willing to take him by his side, Fang Shenxing would have directly wondered if there would be any unexpected "accident" in him.
If the emperor asks him about something, it proves that he is still useful. Those who are useful will live longer.
Fang Shenxing didn't answer right away. In his opinion, this was not just an answer, it was very important.
What is his identity? It's just a small matter of the fifth rank, and the emperor asked him because of a chance meeting.At this time, the only one who can give him a hand is the emperor.If the emperor expresses indifference to him in front of the courtiers, there will be countless possibilities or accidents immediately.
But why did the emperor give him a hand?
His answer must be in line with the emperor's wishes. Fang Shenxing settled down. Because of his nervousness, his palms trembled slightly and his back sweated slightly, "Your Majesty, I thought that there must be a How to arrange it?"
Ming Zhan casually peeled off a small orange and put it in his mouth. The orange that could come to him had a good appearance, sweet and sour, and was very palatable.
Seeing that the emperor had no special expression, Fang Shenxing continued, "It's better to arrange an exam. If you do well in the exam, you can enter the palace to work as an assistant to Daoist Zhong. If you don't do well in the exam, you will be kicked out of the imperial capital."
Ming Zhan glanced at Fang Shenxing, "Oh, then how do you say the test?"
Fang Shenxing suddenly knelt down on one knee, and said in a deep voice, "Forgive me, Your Majesty. I really think that the way of metaphysics is not the way of a sage. Please think twice, Your Majesty." After saying this, Fang Shenxing's forehead , A stream of sweat beads slightly wet the temples.
Ming Zhan looked down at Fang Shenxing, the young official was extremely nervous, his entire back was tense, sweat stains penetrated his inner garment and stuck to his court clothes.
Ming Zhan didn't speak, Fang Shenxing had to keep kneeling.
Ming Zhan never knew that the power of the emperor could bring such great pressure to people. He couldn't see Fang Shenxing's face, but the cold sweat on Fang Shenxing's face dripped on the ground, soaking a small piece of stone bricks on the ground. .
"It's up to you to summon the Taoist priests for the exam."
This sentence made Fang Shenxing cry with joy. He kowtowed heavily on the ground with his posture, and there was a little tear in his voice, "I thank you, Your Majesty."
Compared with Fang Shenxing who recommended Zhong Taoist in the past, Fang Shenxing's reputation is even worse now.
Fang Shenxing was ordered to preside over the royal examination for recruiting Taoist priests, although Ming Zhan did not use the national treasury, and took money from his private treasury for this examination.
The ministers still have their own worries about the emperor going astray, so they hate each other and act cautiously.
Fang Shenxing had no choice but to go to the dark all the way.
Ming Zhan said to him, "You are a smart man. Now I just call Taoist Zhong into the palace and ask you how to arrange the Taoist in the imperial capital. You answered very well, Xiao Shen."
"When I first came to the throne, I reformed the salt industry and built Tianjin Port. Naturally, I am not a king who does nothing. You are right to persuade me."
These two sentences directly hit Fang Shenxing's mind. He really thought so, answered like this, and fit the Sacred Heart so well.Now, however, the emperor gave it all out, and he didn't know how to react.
At this time, Fang Shenxing was still a young official.It is very rare to be able to answer the emperor's question in line with the emperor's wishes.The emperor didn't embarrass him, but ordered him to prepare for the Taoist priests' promotion exam, and ordered Fang Shenxing to retire.
Fang Shenxing handles Ming Zhan's errands with trepidation, and he will never know in his life. At this time, his crisis not only comes from the courtiers' spurn, but also from Ming Zhan's suspicion.
Ming Zhan has a big mouth, and when he turns around, he chats with Ruan Hongfei about his arrangement for Fang Shenxing.
Ruan Hongfei praised, "Well done."
"Feifei, I smell a conspiracy." Ming Zhan blinked triumphantly, and said, "Hmph, there is such a fortune-telling fairy at this time, obviously wanting me to be fooled. Hmph, I'm not going to be fooled , but also to lure the fish to the hook, come up with a countermeasure and let him make alchemy."
Ruan Hongfei reminded Ming Zhan and asked, "Is Fang Shenxing reliable?"
Ming Zhan said, "I don't know. Among the people in the court, no one recommended Taoist Zhong, so he was the only one who took the lead. How about I let him preside over the Taoist exam, and no one else offended me, let others do it." I feel very sorry for being scolded by others. Fang Shenxing is suspicious, and I just let him do it, which will ruin his reputation."
To be an emperor, you don't have 1 minds, so it's really hard to play.
"Don't worry, I asked Li Bing to send people to monitor Fang's family." Ming Zhan didn't take a fifth-rank official seriously, "People, if you are like Taoist Zhong, masters and brothers travel all over the world, you should also check now. If you don't know his origin, you should be more vigilant. Fang Shenxing is also from a big family. Even if the Fang family is in decline now, Fang Shenxing is also a student of the Imperial College. His mother, wife and son are all there. If he dares to rebel , unless you don’t even want your family’s life.”
"As far as I know, Fang Shenxing is quite filial."
"His family is in my hands, so don't worry too much."
Ruan Hongfei picked an orange in his hand, cut a few petals with a silver knife, and gave one to Ming Zhan. Ming Zhan suddenly laughed, trembling as if suffering from Mongolian syndrome.
"What's the matter?" Ruan Hongfei really couldn't help Ming Zhan's occasional psychosis.
Ming Zhan is a tricky person, he doesn't pick up the oranges handed by his lover, but directly bites and eats with Ruan Hongfei's hand, and pulls Ruan Hongfei's watch Xinxin, "Feifei, don't think that if I become the emperor, I will be in the city." Shen, if I have anything, I will tell you."
Ruan Hongfei said "hmm", "You are not the pure and lovely school." Erjian has a habit of raising rabbits, but he doesn't.
He also likes Ming Zhan's full belly.
"You smell the conspiracy, do you know where the conspiracy came from?" Ruan Hongfei asked.
Ming Zhan shook his head, "How could this be known? I just feel that Daoist Zhong's appearance is bizarre. Besides, even if there is nothing unusual about him, I can't allow him to buy people's hearts in the imperial capital! Let Fang Shenxing get in touch with him, If there is a trick, or a group of people, they can always try it!"
So, in fact, Ming Zhan was not deluded by Daoist Zhong.
The courtiers really wronged Ming Zhan, and history also wronged Emperor Wu.
At this moment, Fang Shenxing was naturally ignorant of these inside facts, and he was just sent to this position by various circumstances that he did not know about.
At this time, his mission was to prepare for the entrance examination for Taoists in the imperial capital.
At this time, an event well documented in history took place.
It took Daoist Zhong six, six and 36 days to refine the first furnace of Xiao Huan Dan.It is said that on the day when the furnace was opened, the fragrance was overflowing and the sky was full of colorful clouds. Emperor Wu was overjoyed, and immediately gave Zhong Taoist the title of Nanshan Layman and a third-rank salary.
Of course, the little return of pills, except for Ming Zhan and Zhong Daoren, no one really took it as a happy event.Even a little eunuch like He Yu who has little experience expressed doubts about Xiao Huan Dan.
Ming Zhan got the Xiaohuan Dan, so he naturally wanted to try the efficacy of the medicine, and asked Taoist Zhong, "Has the immortal elder taken this pill?" Don't say it's just your Taoist's Xiaohuan Dan, it is the elixir of the Supreme Lord who really fell , Relying on the suspicion of the emperors, they did not dare to try lightly.
Zhong Daoren showed a happy expression, and Ming Zhan's vicious eyes could not see a trace of fakeness in that happy expression. He immediately admired this Taoist's superb acting skills in the depths of his heart. The alchemy was fortunate to be given by the master, think about it, it has been more than a hundred years ago. In the future, even if I want to refine this alchemy, no matter how difficult it is to get it, I will have to."
He Yu stood behind Ming Zhan, holding an exquisite jade box carved from warm jade, inside of which were six red, round, small red pills the size of longan pills.Ming Zhan is a generous person, and he immediately said, "You do your best for me. If I can practice and live forever in the future, I will never forget the merits of the immortal elder. I will bestow this pill on the immortal elder."
He Yu immediately took out one very generously and handed it to Taoist Zhong himself.
Daoist Zhong "thumped" and knelt down to thank him, tearfully grateful.
He Yu was winking, and ordered someone to bring warm water, Daoren Zhong couldn't help holding up Xiao Huan Pill, muttering a few words, and directly took the elixir.
Ming Zhan said very considerately, "During this period of time, the Taoist priest is also tired of making alchemy for me, and he will take a rest for a while. I have used this small redemption pill before, let's take a look at the effect of the pill, and then tell the immortal leader about the next time I make a big pill." It's about Dan."
Taoist Zhong hurriedly said, "If Your Majesty has any feelings, please tell the Taoist the truth. Your Majesty's dragon body is different from ordinary people."
Ming Zhan took He Yu away.
He Yu couldn't help persuading, "Your Majesty, I thought it would be safe to find someone to try this little Huandan first."
Ming Zhan laughed, "Don't worry, if I can become a fairy and live forever, I will definitely not forget you. Otherwise, even if I am still in the fairy class, I won't get used to it without you Xiaoyu by my side."
"Wherever Your Majesty goes, the slaves have to follow." Getting along with others, after a long time, will become a habit.When this habit becomes a natural response, all kinds of friendships will be born.
Like He Yu, who was chosen to serve Ming Zhan since he was a child, and endured hardships and prosperity.Although people are inevitably selfish, He Yu still has a real affection for Ming Zhan, which surpasses the title of master and servant.
When the courtiers heard that the surname Zhong had spoiled many good medicines, added mercury, cinnabar and so on, and made some "small return pills", they suddenly felt bad.
Li Pingzhou didn't care about the emperor's displeasure, and asked directly, "Your Majesty, tap mercury and cinnabar are highly poisonous substances. Your Majesty's dragon body is related to the fate of the country and should not be taken lightly. The elixir has not been tested by the Imperial Hospital. Your Majesty must not take it lightly." Clothes!"
Wang Rui'an was also taken aback. He was a straightforward person, and immediately asked, "Your Majesty really eats it?"
Ming Zhan really felt that if he and Feng Jingqian hadn't had a good temper, it would be inconceivable that a fool like Wang Rui'an could have the temper of Zuodu Yushi.With a wave of his hand, Ming Zhan said, "Master Zhong has convinced himself. You see, Daoist Zhong is a hundred-year-old man, who now describes himself as gentle and younger than you. If this little red pill is really effective, I will definitely I can't forget you!"
"It's a good story that our monarchs and ministers can live forever." Damn, whoever is disobedient in the future, I will treat anyone to eat Xiaohuandan.
Wang Rui'an is the censor of Zuodu, and it is his duty to advise, "Your Majesty, although you are still young, you are wise and intelligent. Why were you deceived by these crooked villains and took poison! If Your Majesty has something good or bad, Wouldn't it be worth living up to the teachings of the Supreme Emperor and King Zhennan?"
Ming Zhan frowned, showing displeasure, "Okay! I haven't eaten yet! I've lost my appetite for what you've been nagging about!"
The courtiers breathed a sigh of relief, most of them were veterans left behind by Feng Jingqian.Feng Jingqian is a generation of Mingjun, so it is impossible for him to be a villain who is flattering, like Li Wang's generation, they are all straight-tempered people.
Xu San was tactful, and rounded up the situation, "Your Majesty, since ancient times, Emperor Qin, Han and Wu have also tried to seek longevity. As a result, the lifespan of the two emperors is less than a hundred years. I think about it, Your Majesty's dragon body is precious, and you must not try the pill lightly." How about choosing a few people to test the medicine for His Majesty first, so as not to cause any danger to the dragon's health."
Ming Zhan was helpless, "You don't know the fragrance of this Xiaohuandan when it comes out of the oven, alas, your lifespan is limited, what do you know?"
But Xu San insisted, "The minister waits for the king's salary, and the king's worries. If your majesty's dragon body is slightly damaged, how can the minister survive in the world. The minister said that those who test medicine must understand pills. The power of medicine, good at Taoist self-cultivation and longevity. You don’t need others. I heard that Daoist Zhong is surrounded by a few boys who serve and learn Taoism. Come here, one person can achieve Taoism, and chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven. They are all Taoists, and they are most suitable to serve His Majesty. "
Xu San was gentle and said with regret, "It's a pity that the ministers are all ordinary people, with impure six senses, and they don't follow the immortal method of the family. Otherwise, even if I let the minister test the medicine for His Majesty, I would be very willing."
Xu San's proposal won the support of most people.
In a word, the meaning of the ministers is very clear.You are the emperor, you are sitting in this seat now, your body is not your own, you have to take care of your body for the world!
The minister insisted, Ming Zhan had no choice but to agree with embarrassment.
Downwards.
Xu San and Li Pingzhou were on the way, Li Pingzhou sighed, "There is such a monster in the palace, Your Majesty believes in the way of monsters, what should I do?"
Xu Sandao, "Li Xiang has also seen this situation, so I have to stop Your Majesty first, but you must not eat those messy things. If you want to tell the officials, get one out and show it to the imperial physician. If the imperial physician says that it is poisonous, It’s just that I don’t do one thing and keep doing it.” Xu San’s gentle face showed a smile with deep meaning, he cut his left hand sideways, and said in a low voice, “Except for the demon way, the world is peaceful.”
Li Pingzhou very much agreed with Xu San's words, "At that time, we have to advise the emperor together."
Xu San said humbly, "All lower officials listen to your lord."
The reason why Xu San hated Taoist Zhong was very complicated. On the one hand, he was born in a serious imperial examination and was promoted step by step. Naturally, he looked down on Taoist Zhong as a metaphysics.If it was so easy to become a fairy, the world would be full of gods.
Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the theory of immortals has been exhausted.If the emperor indulges in this way, he will definitely neglect the government.But Xu San is a scholar-bureaucrat with lofty ideals, and now Ming Zhan is very important to him.
Scholars seek fame, what they seek is "fame before and after life", which will last through the ages and be recorded in the annals of history.
After Ming Zhan came to the throne, he looked like a wise king. Now that the reform of the salt department is coming to an end, and Tianjin Port has started to invite tenders, both of these will be left in the annals of history.Correspondingly, their courtiers will also leave their own different imprints.
Seeing that my ideal of leaving a name in history is about to come true, suddenly some Taoist Zhong Nanshan pops up halfway, and as soon as he enters the palace, he seduces the emperor to make alchemy and take medicine. Look at the guys who seek longevity in history, few of them are good Reported.On the contrary, it is a waste of money and state affairs.
At this time, Daoist Zhong was the chief culprit who ruined Xu San's ideals, how could Xu San spare him!
Xu San is definitely not the only minister who holds such an idea.
Therefore, when Ming Zhan opened the alchemy room for Taoist Zhong, Taoist Zhong had already drawn the hatred of half of the dynasty.
Now, with Zhong Daoren's first batch of "Reminder Pill" successfully refined, these officials with lofty ideals and ambitions will never let him live!
On the second aspect, if Ming Zhan is really obsessed with the pill, Xu San can imagine the difficult road ahead.
Xu San was born in Sanyuan, and he is definitely a smart person.He never thought of himself as inferior.Even if Li Pingzhou is the prime minister now, Xu San thinks that it's just because Li Pingzhou is older than him.If you compare official positions, the weight of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is definitely not as important as the Minister of the Ministry of Households.
Another point is that Xu San is younger than Li Pingzhou, and he is confident that he will live longer than Li Pingzhou.
Xu San is now deeply favored by the emperor, and the emperor obviously values his children more than Li Pingzhou's children.Therefore, Xu San still has some confidence in competing with Li Pingzhou.
However, Ruo Mingzhan was confused by that Zhong.
He, Xu San, absolutely doesn't understand the journey of Taoism with pills, and he is completely incomparable with Taoist Zhong as far as the journey of pills is concerned.
Therefore, Xu San must not allow Taoist Zhong to live.
Next, Xu San did an amazing thing.
This matter, to be honest, made Li Pingzhou have a great opinion on him.
Xu San begged to see Queen Mother Wei.
You must know that Li Pingzhou strongly opposed the Empress Dowager Wei's entry into the palace at the beginning. Li Pingzhou completely hoped that the Empress Dowager Wei would stay in Yunnan for the rest of her life, and it would be best not to show her face in the imperial capital forever.
Even now, he still thinks Queen Mother Wei is an ambitious woman.
In the beginning, in order to prevent the Empress Dowager Wei from entering the palace, Li Pingzhou dragged Xu San and Wang Rui'an to the Imperial Capital Zhennan Palace to persuade the Empress Dowager Wei to go back to Yunnan.This act completely offended the Queen Mother Wei.
However, as prime minister, Li Pingzhou also showed his unwavering stance and unselfish disposition.
And Xu San, as one of the people who followed Li Pingzhou to persuade the Queen Mother to return, he actually took the initiative to ask to see the Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Wei did not refuse Xu San's request to see her.
Xu San is not just anyone, this is the teacher appointed by the Supreme Emperor, one of the six ministers, and the cabinet ministers complement each other.How could the Empress Dowager Wei refuse such a person's request to see her?
Li Pingzhou selfishly thought that from this point, he could get a glimpse of Queen Mother Wei's ambitions.
Even if the Empress Dowager Wei knew about Li Pingzhou's thoughts, she would not take it to heart.She is a dignified queen mother, and her own son is the emperor. If she regards the prime minister as an enemy, it will be a joke.
Xu San was seeing the Queen Mother Wei for the second time, and he was a little nervous deep in his heart.
Although he came here this time, he was fully prepared.
"Mr. Xu has something to ask to see me. I think it is very important, and it is not easy to speak directly to the emperor, and it has something to do with the emperor, right?" The Empress Dowager Wei is three points smarter than smart people.
In terms of learning, Queen Mother Wei is naturally inferior to Xu San.However, Empress Dowager Wei grew up in the court, and she herself has extremely high political sensitivity. She has been in political situations for most of her life.Empress Dowager Wei's political literacy, not to mention smooth as Xu San, even Ming Zhan, who is extremely talented, is not as good as it.
Queen Mother Wei's question is equivalent to giving Xu San a step down.
Xu San hurriedly borrowed Po'er to get off the donkey. If the Queen Mother Wei didn't ask this question, he really couldn't say anything bad about his son.Xu San respectfully said, "Yes, the empress dowager is wise. The reason I took the liberty to ask to see the empress dowager is because I am really worried that your majesty will be deceived by villains. If you are really a serious minister, I must not say such a word. I have won His Majesty's trust, and have already refined medicine for His Majesty. I am really worried."
Empress Dowager Wei is a sensible person, Xu Sanfang dared to come to see her.
If the Empress Dowager sitting here at this moment, Xu Sanjuan would not be able to have such a thought.
Xu San raised his head, looked at Empress Dowager Wei, then lowered his head hastily.
This is a habit he has developed for many years in the shift. In order to show that he is selfless and has a clear eye and a clear heart, he will definitely look straight at Jun Yan and speak righteously if he has a book to play.Now that I am anxious and nervous, I forgot for a moment that this is not in front of the imperial court.
The last time I saw Queen Mother Wei, Xu San was Li Pingzhou's follower, and he put Li Pingzhou first in everything, so naturally it was impossible to look up at Queen Mother Wei.Therefore, he really didn't know what kind of face Empress Dowager Wei had.
Under this look, the eyes were filled with astonishment.
Empress Dowager Wei is nearly forty years old, because she was born in a wealthy family and has been well cared for, she is still very young, and she can only see about thirty people.Of course, it wasn't this that surprised Xu San. Even though the Queen Mother Wei was young and beautiful, she wasn't that kind of alluring face, and even compared with Ruan Hongfei, she was not as good.
What surprised Xu San was the empress dowager Wei's eyes, which were icy clear and full of majesty.
Xu San's heart stopped, and he was cautious, and continued, "I have limited knowledge, and I also know that elixir often contains mercury and cinnabar. The empress dowager must also know about these two types of toxicity. Your Majesty's dragon body, if it is poisoned by a demon Confused, how can the body of the dragon not be damaged after long-term consumption of the poison of danhong? The minister is a foreign minister, and he still worries about the body of the dragon. Your majesty is the empress dowager's own son, and the empress dowager only has one son, so he must be better than the minister. I am even more worried about His Majesty's safety. Your Majesty's filial piety to his mother is known all over the world, and if the Empress Dowager gives advice, His Majesty will have no reason not to listen."
Empress Dowager Wei asked indifferently, "Have you mentioned this in court?"
Xu San should be.
"To what extent, tell me."
When Xu San came out from the Empress Dowager's palace, his forehead was covered with sweat.
This empress dowager is really too wise.Xu San smiled wryly.
Scholars expect women to be chaste, quiet and virtuous, especially for women who are in the back position. If they are really ambitious, it is easy to get into trouble!
However, it was precisely because of the sageness of the empress dowager that Xu Sanjue felt that he did not ask the wrong person.
However, before Xu San had time to get rid of Taoist Zhong, good news came from the Northwest: the war between the Northwest and the Tatars finally achieved a breakthrough victory, and the champion of martial arts Song Yao captured the third prince of the Tatars alive.
Ming Zhan looked at him coldly, and he looked about 40 to [-] years old.And it's not the one with kind eyebrows, kind eyes, and immortal demeanor. At least it gives people the impression that it is intellectual and refined, and you can pretend to be a scholar by changing your bachelor's shirt.
Ming Zhan couldn't believe it, "The Immortal Elder looks tender, how many years have you practiced on the mountain?"
Zhong Daoren replied, "Taoist is Emperor Taizu who went to the mountain for 15 years, and now, it has been more than 140 years."
"Look at the immortal elder, who is only in his thirties or forties." In fact, Ming Zhan was quite disdainful in his heart. If it wasn't for the age limit, Ming Zhan would have knocked out a tooth of his to measure his bone age!Tsk, Feifei of his family is considered to be in good condition. He is only in his early twenties now, and when he goes out, the little lady will still blush when she looks at Feifei.Of course, Ming Zhan is often jealous of this.This Taoist practiced in the mountains every day, he didn't eat or drink bad food, and he wasn't born with tender skin, he was a ghost if he could look young.
Daoist Zhong replied honestly, "Pindao went up the mountain at the age of five, and now he is 140 years old."
Ming Zhan laughed twice and exclaimed, "It would be great if I could live such a long life like a fairy."
"I heard that it is not uncommon for people who practice Taoism to pursue longevity, and it is not uncommon for them to live for hundreds of years." Ming Zhan said, "The age of a fairy is not short in the world of mortals, but for people who practice Taoism, it is simply You are too young. The immortal head went down the mountain at such a young age, can the masters and brothers at home feel relieved?" Where is the old nest, hurry up and tell me!
Cut the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze will give birth again!
Taoist Zhong found it inconceivable, he hasn't started fooling around yet, why does it feel like His Majesty the Emperor has already fallen into the trap?This is really a fucking sense of accomplishment!
"Family, teachers, brothers and sisters have all traveled all over the world, and I don't know when they will return. Taoists have been learning Taoism for a long time, and if their hearts are occasionally inflamed, they go down the mountain and walk, which is also an experience."
"Oh." Ming Zhan asked, "Are you married?"
Daoist Zhong was a person who had seen the world, yet he was surprised by Ming Zhan's question like a mere mortal.
"Do you know West Lake?"
Taoist Zhong didn't know why Ming Zhan asked this question, so he nodded, "The Taoist knows."
"Can you see many years from now?"
People say that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, even Taoist Zhong, who is used to fooling people with tricks, feels that the emperor's words are difficult to accept.Ming Zhan didn't seem to intend to let him pick it up either, Ming Zhan said flatly, "After many years, there will be a world-class transsexual love there."
"More than 1000 years ago, a little shepherd boy rescued a little white snake in the hands of an old snake catcher on Kunlun Mountain. Now the white snake is still practicing in Kunlun Mountain. In a few years, the white snake will shed its snake body and become In human form, if the white snake wants to become a fairy, it must repay the life-saving grace of the previous life. And the shepherd boy who once saved the white snake will be reincarnated. In Gusu City, the surname is Xu Mingxian. The love between Xu Xian and the snake demon , will move the world.”
Taoist Zhong was overjoyed immediately, bowed down and bowed down with admiration on his face, "It turns out that Your Majesty is a member of the same path!"
Ming Zhan laughed out loud.
There is nothing else in the palace, and there are many empty rooms, so I ordered people to clean up a place, so that Taoist Zhong can practice alchemy with peace of mind.
Ming Zhan naturally added a hobby, he didn't like the harem, he didn't like luxury, he fell in love with alchemy.
A group of ministers wanted to hit the wall.
In view of the emperor's preference, the Taoist priests in the entire empire ran to the imperial capital like cats smelling fish, hoping to win the emperor's favor and become a national teacher or something.
Ouyang Ke and the others wished they could chop up Fang Shenxing, who recommended Zhong Daoren, into meat stuffing and feed them to the dogs. That's right, you have provoked public anger, Xiao Shen."
"Minister, I have a heart of loyalty to the emperor." Fang Shenxing wished he could howl to redress his grievances, God is sorry, he did not want to recommend Zhong Daoren to make alchemy for His Majesty, Fang Shenxing was very bitter to persuade the king, "Your Majesty, Matters of metaphysics are illusory, so don’t trust them lightly.”
Ming Zhan peeled an orange and asked Fang Shenxing, "Now that the emperor has come to these Taoists, what do you think you should do if you caused trouble?"
Fang Shenxing's family is weak now, and it can't cover him at all.The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty wanted to kill him. If Ming Zhan hadn't had a good conscience and was willing to take him by his side, Fang Shenxing would have directly wondered if there would be any unexpected "accident" in him.
If the emperor asks him about something, it proves that he is still useful. Those who are useful will live longer.
Fang Shenxing didn't answer right away. In his opinion, this was not just an answer, it was very important.
What is his identity? It's just a small matter of the fifth rank, and the emperor asked him because of a chance meeting.At this time, the only one who can give him a hand is the emperor.If the emperor expresses indifference to him in front of the courtiers, there will be countless possibilities or accidents immediately.
But why did the emperor give him a hand?
His answer must be in line with the emperor's wishes. Fang Shenxing settled down. Because of his nervousness, his palms trembled slightly and his back sweated slightly, "Your Majesty, I thought that there must be a How to arrange it?"
Ming Zhan casually peeled off a small orange and put it in his mouth. The orange that could come to him had a good appearance, sweet and sour, and was very palatable.
Seeing that the emperor had no special expression, Fang Shenxing continued, "It's better to arrange an exam. If you do well in the exam, you can enter the palace to work as an assistant to Daoist Zhong. If you don't do well in the exam, you will be kicked out of the imperial capital."
Ming Zhan glanced at Fang Shenxing, "Oh, then how do you say the test?"
Fang Shenxing suddenly knelt down on one knee, and said in a deep voice, "Forgive me, Your Majesty. I really think that the way of metaphysics is not the way of a sage. Please think twice, Your Majesty." After saying this, Fang Shenxing's forehead , A stream of sweat beads slightly wet the temples.
Ming Zhan looked down at Fang Shenxing, the young official was extremely nervous, his entire back was tense, sweat stains penetrated his inner garment and stuck to his court clothes.
Ming Zhan didn't speak, Fang Shenxing had to keep kneeling.
Ming Zhan never knew that the power of the emperor could bring such great pressure to people. He couldn't see Fang Shenxing's face, but the cold sweat on Fang Shenxing's face dripped on the ground, soaking a small piece of stone bricks on the ground. .
"It's up to you to summon the Taoist priests for the exam."
This sentence made Fang Shenxing cry with joy. He kowtowed heavily on the ground with his posture, and there was a little tear in his voice, "I thank you, Your Majesty."
Compared with Fang Shenxing who recommended Zhong Taoist in the past, Fang Shenxing's reputation is even worse now.
Fang Shenxing was ordered to preside over the royal examination for recruiting Taoist priests, although Ming Zhan did not use the national treasury, and took money from his private treasury for this examination.
The ministers still have their own worries about the emperor going astray, so they hate each other and act cautiously.
Fang Shenxing had no choice but to go to the dark all the way.
Ming Zhan said to him, "You are a smart man. Now I just call Taoist Zhong into the palace and ask you how to arrange the Taoist in the imperial capital. You answered very well, Xiao Shen."
"When I first came to the throne, I reformed the salt industry and built Tianjin Port. Naturally, I am not a king who does nothing. You are right to persuade me."
These two sentences directly hit Fang Shenxing's mind. He really thought so, answered like this, and fit the Sacred Heart so well.Now, however, the emperor gave it all out, and he didn't know how to react.
At this time, Fang Shenxing was still a young official.It is very rare to be able to answer the emperor's question in line with the emperor's wishes.The emperor didn't embarrass him, but ordered him to prepare for the Taoist priests' promotion exam, and ordered Fang Shenxing to retire.
Fang Shenxing handles Ming Zhan's errands with trepidation, and he will never know in his life. At this time, his crisis not only comes from the courtiers' spurn, but also from Ming Zhan's suspicion.
Ming Zhan has a big mouth, and when he turns around, he chats with Ruan Hongfei about his arrangement for Fang Shenxing.
Ruan Hongfei praised, "Well done."
"Feifei, I smell a conspiracy." Ming Zhan blinked triumphantly, and said, "Hmph, there is such a fortune-telling fairy at this time, obviously wanting me to be fooled. Hmph, I'm not going to be fooled , but also to lure the fish to the hook, come up with a countermeasure and let him make alchemy."
Ruan Hongfei reminded Ming Zhan and asked, "Is Fang Shenxing reliable?"
Ming Zhan said, "I don't know. Among the people in the court, no one recommended Taoist Zhong, so he was the only one who took the lead. How about I let him preside over the Taoist exam, and no one else offended me, let others do it." I feel very sorry for being scolded by others. Fang Shenxing is suspicious, and I just let him do it, which will ruin his reputation."
To be an emperor, you don't have 1 minds, so it's really hard to play.
"Don't worry, I asked Li Bing to send people to monitor Fang's family." Ming Zhan didn't take a fifth-rank official seriously, "People, if you are like Taoist Zhong, masters and brothers travel all over the world, you should also check now. If you don't know his origin, you should be more vigilant. Fang Shenxing is also from a big family. Even if the Fang family is in decline now, Fang Shenxing is also a student of the Imperial College. His mother, wife and son are all there. If he dares to rebel , unless you don’t even want your family’s life.”
"As far as I know, Fang Shenxing is quite filial."
"His family is in my hands, so don't worry too much."
Ruan Hongfei picked an orange in his hand, cut a few petals with a silver knife, and gave one to Ming Zhan. Ming Zhan suddenly laughed, trembling as if suffering from Mongolian syndrome.
"What's the matter?" Ruan Hongfei really couldn't help Ming Zhan's occasional psychosis.
Ming Zhan is a tricky person, he doesn't pick up the oranges handed by his lover, but directly bites and eats with Ruan Hongfei's hand, and pulls Ruan Hongfei's watch Xinxin, "Feifei, don't think that if I become the emperor, I will be in the city." Shen, if I have anything, I will tell you."
Ruan Hongfei said "hmm", "You are not the pure and lovely school." Erjian has a habit of raising rabbits, but he doesn't.
He also likes Ming Zhan's full belly.
"You smell the conspiracy, do you know where the conspiracy came from?" Ruan Hongfei asked.
Ming Zhan shook his head, "How could this be known? I just feel that Daoist Zhong's appearance is bizarre. Besides, even if there is nothing unusual about him, I can't allow him to buy people's hearts in the imperial capital! Let Fang Shenxing get in touch with him, If there is a trick, or a group of people, they can always try it!"
So, in fact, Ming Zhan was not deluded by Daoist Zhong.
The courtiers really wronged Ming Zhan, and history also wronged Emperor Wu.
At this moment, Fang Shenxing was naturally ignorant of these inside facts, and he was just sent to this position by various circumstances that he did not know about.
At this time, his mission was to prepare for the entrance examination for Taoists in the imperial capital.
At this time, an event well documented in history took place.
It took Daoist Zhong six, six and 36 days to refine the first furnace of Xiao Huan Dan.It is said that on the day when the furnace was opened, the fragrance was overflowing and the sky was full of colorful clouds. Emperor Wu was overjoyed, and immediately gave Zhong Taoist the title of Nanshan Layman and a third-rank salary.
Of course, the little return of pills, except for Ming Zhan and Zhong Daoren, no one really took it as a happy event.Even a little eunuch like He Yu who has little experience expressed doubts about Xiao Huan Dan.
Ming Zhan got the Xiaohuan Dan, so he naturally wanted to try the efficacy of the medicine, and asked Taoist Zhong, "Has the immortal elder taken this pill?" Don't say it's just your Taoist's Xiaohuan Dan, it is the elixir of the Supreme Lord who really fell , Relying on the suspicion of the emperors, they did not dare to try lightly.
Zhong Daoren showed a happy expression, and Ming Zhan's vicious eyes could not see a trace of fakeness in that happy expression. He immediately admired this Taoist's superb acting skills in the depths of his heart. The alchemy was fortunate to be given by the master, think about it, it has been more than a hundred years ago. In the future, even if I want to refine this alchemy, no matter how difficult it is to get it, I will have to."
He Yu stood behind Ming Zhan, holding an exquisite jade box carved from warm jade, inside of which were six red, round, small red pills the size of longan pills.Ming Zhan is a generous person, and he immediately said, "You do your best for me. If I can practice and live forever in the future, I will never forget the merits of the immortal elder. I will bestow this pill on the immortal elder."
He Yu immediately took out one very generously and handed it to Taoist Zhong himself.
Daoist Zhong "thumped" and knelt down to thank him, tearfully grateful.
He Yu was winking, and ordered someone to bring warm water, Daoren Zhong couldn't help holding up Xiao Huan Pill, muttering a few words, and directly took the elixir.
Ming Zhan said very considerately, "During this period of time, the Taoist priest is also tired of making alchemy for me, and he will take a rest for a while. I have used this small redemption pill before, let's take a look at the effect of the pill, and then tell the immortal leader about the next time I make a big pill." It's about Dan."
Taoist Zhong hurriedly said, "If Your Majesty has any feelings, please tell the Taoist the truth. Your Majesty's dragon body is different from ordinary people."
Ming Zhan took He Yu away.
He Yu couldn't help persuading, "Your Majesty, I thought it would be safe to find someone to try this little Huandan first."
Ming Zhan laughed, "Don't worry, if I can become a fairy and live forever, I will definitely not forget you. Otherwise, even if I am still in the fairy class, I won't get used to it without you Xiaoyu by my side."
"Wherever Your Majesty goes, the slaves have to follow." Getting along with others, after a long time, will become a habit.When this habit becomes a natural response, all kinds of friendships will be born.
Like He Yu, who was chosen to serve Ming Zhan since he was a child, and endured hardships and prosperity.Although people are inevitably selfish, He Yu still has a real affection for Ming Zhan, which surpasses the title of master and servant.
When the courtiers heard that the surname Zhong had spoiled many good medicines, added mercury, cinnabar and so on, and made some "small return pills", they suddenly felt bad.
Li Pingzhou didn't care about the emperor's displeasure, and asked directly, "Your Majesty, tap mercury and cinnabar are highly poisonous substances. Your Majesty's dragon body is related to the fate of the country and should not be taken lightly. The elixir has not been tested by the Imperial Hospital. Your Majesty must not take it lightly." Clothes!"
Wang Rui'an was also taken aback. He was a straightforward person, and immediately asked, "Your Majesty really eats it?"
Ming Zhan really felt that if he and Feng Jingqian hadn't had a good temper, it would be inconceivable that a fool like Wang Rui'an could have the temper of Zuodu Yushi.With a wave of his hand, Ming Zhan said, "Master Zhong has convinced himself. You see, Daoist Zhong is a hundred-year-old man, who now describes himself as gentle and younger than you. If this little red pill is really effective, I will definitely I can't forget you!"
"It's a good story that our monarchs and ministers can live forever." Damn, whoever is disobedient in the future, I will treat anyone to eat Xiaohuandan.
Wang Rui'an is the censor of Zuodu, and it is his duty to advise, "Your Majesty, although you are still young, you are wise and intelligent. Why were you deceived by these crooked villains and took poison! If Your Majesty has something good or bad, Wouldn't it be worth living up to the teachings of the Supreme Emperor and King Zhennan?"
Ming Zhan frowned, showing displeasure, "Okay! I haven't eaten yet! I've lost my appetite for what you've been nagging about!"
The courtiers breathed a sigh of relief, most of them were veterans left behind by Feng Jingqian.Feng Jingqian is a generation of Mingjun, so it is impossible for him to be a villain who is flattering, like Li Wang's generation, they are all straight-tempered people.
Xu San was tactful, and rounded up the situation, "Your Majesty, since ancient times, Emperor Qin, Han and Wu have also tried to seek longevity. As a result, the lifespan of the two emperors is less than a hundred years. I think about it, Your Majesty's dragon body is precious, and you must not try the pill lightly." How about choosing a few people to test the medicine for His Majesty first, so as not to cause any danger to the dragon's health."
Ming Zhan was helpless, "You don't know the fragrance of this Xiaohuandan when it comes out of the oven, alas, your lifespan is limited, what do you know?"
But Xu San insisted, "The minister waits for the king's salary, and the king's worries. If your majesty's dragon body is slightly damaged, how can the minister survive in the world. The minister said that those who test medicine must understand pills. The power of medicine, good at Taoist self-cultivation and longevity. You don’t need others. I heard that Daoist Zhong is surrounded by a few boys who serve and learn Taoism. Come here, one person can achieve Taoism, and chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven. They are all Taoists, and they are most suitable to serve His Majesty. "
Xu San was gentle and said with regret, "It's a pity that the ministers are all ordinary people, with impure six senses, and they don't follow the immortal method of the family. Otherwise, even if I let the minister test the medicine for His Majesty, I would be very willing."
Xu San's proposal won the support of most people.
In a word, the meaning of the ministers is very clear.You are the emperor, you are sitting in this seat now, your body is not your own, you have to take care of your body for the world!
The minister insisted, Ming Zhan had no choice but to agree with embarrassment.
Downwards.
Xu San and Li Pingzhou were on the way, Li Pingzhou sighed, "There is such a monster in the palace, Your Majesty believes in the way of monsters, what should I do?"
Xu Sandao, "Li Xiang has also seen this situation, so I have to stop Your Majesty first, but you must not eat those messy things. If you want to tell the officials, get one out and show it to the imperial physician. If the imperial physician says that it is poisonous, It’s just that I don’t do one thing and keep doing it.” Xu San’s gentle face showed a smile with deep meaning, he cut his left hand sideways, and said in a low voice, “Except for the demon way, the world is peaceful.”
Li Pingzhou very much agreed with Xu San's words, "At that time, we have to advise the emperor together."
Xu San said humbly, "All lower officials listen to your lord."
The reason why Xu San hated Taoist Zhong was very complicated. On the one hand, he was born in a serious imperial examination and was promoted step by step. Naturally, he looked down on Taoist Zhong as a metaphysics.If it was so easy to become a fairy, the world would be full of gods.
Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the theory of immortals has been exhausted.If the emperor indulges in this way, he will definitely neglect the government.But Xu San is a scholar-bureaucrat with lofty ideals, and now Ming Zhan is very important to him.
Scholars seek fame, what they seek is "fame before and after life", which will last through the ages and be recorded in the annals of history.
After Ming Zhan came to the throne, he looked like a wise king. Now that the reform of the salt department is coming to an end, and Tianjin Port has started to invite tenders, both of these will be left in the annals of history.Correspondingly, their courtiers will also leave their own different imprints.
Seeing that my ideal of leaving a name in history is about to come true, suddenly some Taoist Zhong Nanshan pops up halfway, and as soon as he enters the palace, he seduces the emperor to make alchemy and take medicine. Look at the guys who seek longevity in history, few of them are good Reported.On the contrary, it is a waste of money and state affairs.
At this time, Daoist Zhong was the chief culprit who ruined Xu San's ideals, how could Xu San spare him!
Xu San is definitely not the only minister who holds such an idea.
Therefore, when Ming Zhan opened the alchemy room for Taoist Zhong, Taoist Zhong had already drawn the hatred of half of the dynasty.
Now, with Zhong Daoren's first batch of "Reminder Pill" successfully refined, these officials with lofty ideals and ambitions will never let him live!
On the second aspect, if Ming Zhan is really obsessed with the pill, Xu San can imagine the difficult road ahead.
Xu San was born in Sanyuan, and he is definitely a smart person.He never thought of himself as inferior.Even if Li Pingzhou is the prime minister now, Xu San thinks that it's just because Li Pingzhou is older than him.If you compare official positions, the weight of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is definitely not as important as the Minister of the Ministry of Households.
Another point is that Xu San is younger than Li Pingzhou, and he is confident that he will live longer than Li Pingzhou.
Xu San is now deeply favored by the emperor, and the emperor obviously values his children more than Li Pingzhou's children.Therefore, Xu San still has some confidence in competing with Li Pingzhou.
However, Ruo Mingzhan was confused by that Zhong.
He, Xu San, absolutely doesn't understand the journey of Taoism with pills, and he is completely incomparable with Taoist Zhong as far as the journey of pills is concerned.
Therefore, Xu San must not allow Taoist Zhong to live.
Next, Xu San did an amazing thing.
This matter, to be honest, made Li Pingzhou have a great opinion on him.
Xu San begged to see Queen Mother Wei.
You must know that Li Pingzhou strongly opposed the Empress Dowager Wei's entry into the palace at the beginning. Li Pingzhou completely hoped that the Empress Dowager Wei would stay in Yunnan for the rest of her life, and it would be best not to show her face in the imperial capital forever.
Even now, he still thinks Queen Mother Wei is an ambitious woman.
In the beginning, in order to prevent the Empress Dowager Wei from entering the palace, Li Pingzhou dragged Xu San and Wang Rui'an to the Imperial Capital Zhennan Palace to persuade the Empress Dowager Wei to go back to Yunnan.This act completely offended the Queen Mother Wei.
However, as prime minister, Li Pingzhou also showed his unwavering stance and unselfish disposition.
And Xu San, as one of the people who followed Li Pingzhou to persuade the Queen Mother to return, he actually took the initiative to ask to see the Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Wei did not refuse Xu San's request to see her.
Xu San is not just anyone, this is the teacher appointed by the Supreme Emperor, one of the six ministers, and the cabinet ministers complement each other.How could the Empress Dowager Wei refuse such a person's request to see her?
Li Pingzhou selfishly thought that from this point, he could get a glimpse of Queen Mother Wei's ambitions.
Even if the Empress Dowager Wei knew about Li Pingzhou's thoughts, she would not take it to heart.She is a dignified queen mother, and her own son is the emperor. If she regards the prime minister as an enemy, it will be a joke.
Xu San was seeing the Queen Mother Wei for the second time, and he was a little nervous deep in his heart.
Although he came here this time, he was fully prepared.
"Mr. Xu has something to ask to see me. I think it is very important, and it is not easy to speak directly to the emperor, and it has something to do with the emperor, right?" The Empress Dowager Wei is three points smarter than smart people.
In terms of learning, Queen Mother Wei is naturally inferior to Xu San.However, Empress Dowager Wei grew up in the court, and she herself has extremely high political sensitivity. She has been in political situations for most of her life.Empress Dowager Wei's political literacy, not to mention smooth as Xu San, even Ming Zhan, who is extremely talented, is not as good as it.
Queen Mother Wei's question is equivalent to giving Xu San a step down.
Xu San hurriedly borrowed Po'er to get off the donkey. If the Queen Mother Wei didn't ask this question, he really couldn't say anything bad about his son.Xu San respectfully said, "Yes, the empress dowager is wise. The reason I took the liberty to ask to see the empress dowager is because I am really worried that your majesty will be deceived by villains. If you are really a serious minister, I must not say such a word. I have won His Majesty's trust, and have already refined medicine for His Majesty. I am really worried."
Empress Dowager Wei is a sensible person, Xu Sanfang dared to come to see her.
If the Empress Dowager sitting here at this moment, Xu Sanjuan would not be able to have such a thought.
Xu San raised his head, looked at Empress Dowager Wei, then lowered his head hastily.
This is a habit he has developed for many years in the shift. In order to show that he is selfless and has a clear eye and a clear heart, he will definitely look straight at Jun Yan and speak righteously if he has a book to play.Now that I am anxious and nervous, I forgot for a moment that this is not in front of the imperial court.
The last time I saw Queen Mother Wei, Xu San was Li Pingzhou's follower, and he put Li Pingzhou first in everything, so naturally it was impossible to look up at Queen Mother Wei.Therefore, he really didn't know what kind of face Empress Dowager Wei had.
Under this look, the eyes were filled with astonishment.
Empress Dowager Wei is nearly forty years old, because she was born in a wealthy family and has been well cared for, she is still very young, and she can only see about thirty people.Of course, it wasn't this that surprised Xu San. Even though the Queen Mother Wei was young and beautiful, she wasn't that kind of alluring face, and even compared with Ruan Hongfei, she was not as good.
What surprised Xu San was the empress dowager Wei's eyes, which were icy clear and full of majesty.
Xu San's heart stopped, and he was cautious, and continued, "I have limited knowledge, and I also know that elixir often contains mercury and cinnabar. The empress dowager must also know about these two types of toxicity. Your Majesty's dragon body, if it is poisoned by a demon Confused, how can the body of the dragon not be damaged after long-term consumption of the poison of danhong? The minister is a foreign minister, and he still worries about the body of the dragon. Your majesty is the empress dowager's own son, and the empress dowager only has one son, so he must be better than the minister. I am even more worried about His Majesty's safety. Your Majesty's filial piety to his mother is known all over the world, and if the Empress Dowager gives advice, His Majesty will have no reason not to listen."
Empress Dowager Wei asked indifferently, "Have you mentioned this in court?"
Xu San should be.
"To what extent, tell me."
When Xu San came out from the Empress Dowager's palace, his forehead was covered with sweat.
This empress dowager is really too wise.Xu San smiled wryly.
Scholars expect women to be chaste, quiet and virtuous, especially for women who are in the back position. If they are really ambitious, it is easy to get into trouble!
However, it was precisely because of the sageness of the empress dowager that Xu Sanjue felt that he did not ask the wrong person.
However, before Xu San had time to get rid of Taoist Zhong, good news came from the Northwest: the war between the Northwest and the Tatars finally achieved a breakthrough victory, and the champion of martial arts Song Yao captured the third prince of the Tatars alive.
