Zhuo Qihua

Emperor Yong'an felt uncomfortable, and Zhuo Ji's life was "difficult".From that day on, Zhuo Ji was almost in Yangxin Palace, either in the warm pool or on the bed.On this day, Zhuo Ji was finally able to come out to get some air, and Wang Bao reported that Master Yin Kong had been waiting to see him.Thinking that Master Yinkong wanted to learn scriptures from him, Zhuo Ji asked Wang Bao to take him to the courtyard.

It has snowed three times in Tongling, today's weather is really good, the sun is shining brightly, but the snow outside has not disappeared, it is very cold.Xiaohui put a thick cloak on her master.Master Yinkong came, and when he saw Zhuo Ji, he bowed with full respect.

"Master Yinkong doesn't need to be too polite." Zhuo Ji said, "We don't need wooden fish today, let's go to the garden and sing while walking."

"The poor monk follows my orders."

Zhuo Ji took a step, his legs were a little weak, he was not walking fast, Master Yinkong followed him one step behind.After walking for a while, Master Yinkong said, "For a person with such great merit and virtue, the Buddha will protect him."

Zhuo Ji smiled: "I'm ashamed to say, I don't believe in Buddhism."

Master Yinkong didn't expect Chuu to be so direct, Zhuo Ji looked forward and said: "Suffering, wealth and honor are only for the individual. If there are gods, how can the gods care about a small human being, luck or misfortune? If there are gods, they will only care about how big the world they can rule and how profound their mana is. Human beings are to gods, just like ants are to human beings. Do human beings care whether an ant is happy or not?"

Master Yinkong: "The idea of ​​Zuzu, the poor monk thinks, is too biased."

Zhuo Ji: "For Master, Buddha is your belief. For me, living is my belief."

Master Yinkong wanted to say something else, Zhuo Ji smiled: "I said this, not to argue with you, Master. Of course, I also hope that the Buddha can bless me. It's just that the master will never be in front of His Majesty. Put this palace and the Buddha together."

Master Yinkong understood the meaning of Chuchu and said, "Thank you, poor monk, for your suggestion."

Zhuo Ji: "Okay, let's sing."

Zhuo Ji taught Master Yinkong twice, and Master Yinkong left.The piece is not difficult, Master Yinkong will review it after returning home, so there is no need to ask for advice again.The air in Tongling was already very good, and it hadn't been long since it snowed, Zhuo Ji felt that the air carried a nice sweet fragrance.At this time, Xiaohui said behind her: "Cui, Mr. Zhang is here."

Zhuo Ji turned around and saw Zhang Xian trotting over.Seeing Chu Chu turned around, Zhang Xian immediately said, "Cu Chu, Long Live is here in Daozheng Pavilion."

"it is good."

Zhuo Ji walked towards Daozheng Pavilion, Zhang Xian said in a low voice, "Two businessmen from Haixi Kingdom want to see Wanzai, and they said that there is a magic medicine for Wanzai only. Wanzai will let you dress up and go there."

"Divine medicine?" Zhuo Ji smiled, "Which immortal made it?"

Zhang Xian pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "It's the way of Dengzhou Zhizhou. The Dengzhou Zhizhou recommended the two to Zhang Bihe, the prefect of Lanjiang Mansion, who personally brought the two to Tongling. The Sima Cao Xing of the Ministry of Rites recommended him to Wansui. Before Wansui, he ordered someone to find a native of Haixi to teach the two princes Haixi Mandarin, so this time he agreed to summon him."

When Emperor Yong'an went out, officials from the Ministry of Rites must accompany him.The minister of the Ministry of Rites stayed in the capital, and Sima, Lang Zhong and others from the Ministry of Rites accompanied him to the other courtyard.

Dengzhou... Zhuo Ji's heart moved, and he asked, "Did those two people come from the sea?" Dengzhou is near the sea.Haixi people entered the hinterland of the Central Plains by land, and they did not have to make a big detour to enter Mata by sea.What's more, Zhuo Ji didn't think that Haixi country now had the ability to sail into Mata country by sea.

Zhang Xian: "Well, I don't know about this slave girl. But the two were recommended by the magistrate of Dengzhou, so I'm afraid they took the sea route." Speaking of this, Zhang Xian himself was puzzled, "It's a bit strange to hear what I said. Strange. Perhaps, they went to Dengzhou to do business? What kind of magic medicine did they get and want to offer it to Long live?"

Zhuo Ji: "Then go and see what magic medicine they got."

Zhuo Ji returned to the Yangxin Palace, Xiaohui and Aunt Hua quickly dressed up the master, and even changed into ordinary clothes that absolutely fit her status.Then Zhuo Ji took Chang Jing and Xiao Hui to Daozheng Pavilion with Zhang Xian.Emperor Yong'an waited patiently in Daozheng Pavilion for his servant to dress up.Zhuo Ji was more indifferent in the other courtyard than in the palace, with braids all day long, without makeup, and the only accessory on his body was the beeswax bracelet given to him by the queen mother.To meet a merchant from Haixi Kingdom, even though he was just a merchant, Emperor Yong'an couldn't let the other party underestimate his beloved servant, so he specially asked Zhang Xian to tell Zhuo Ji to dress up.

Zhuo Ji, dressed in a luxurious outfit, arrived at the Daozheng Pavilion, and the people in the room immediately saluted: "See Shunxiu."

"You don't need to be too polite."

The accompanying officials are all there.Emperor Yong'an looked at the dressed Aishi with satisfaction, and said, "Shun, there are two businessmen from Haixi Kingdom who want to offer me the magic medicine, and I have already agreed."

Zhuo Ji walked to the dragon case with a smile on his face, held the hand extended by Emperor Yong'an, and said with a smile: "God medicine, you must see it."

Emperor Yong'an looked at Cao Xing: "Then announce it."

"Yes."

Feng Xi went out, and Emperor Yong'an held Zhuo Ji's hand and got up, leading him to the Xiaohua Hall behind Daozheng Pavilion, and all the officials followed.Naturally, there is no need to be so solemn when meeting a businessman from Haixi Kingdom, and there is no need to sit behind the dragon table and wait.Seeing His Majesty's pampering for this Shunji with his own eyes again, holding hands while walking, the officials present once again sighed in their hearts.

The eunuch brought tea, and Emperor Yong'an also gave a seat to the officials present.Zhuo Ji sat next to Emperor Yong'an across a square table.For Zhuo Ji to sit on an equal footing with Emperor Yong'an so naturally, in the eyes of several officials, it is naturally very meaningful.After one thing after another, most of the ministers and workers in the previous dynasty have also acquiesced in the super honor and favor of Shun Yu's position in His Majesty's heart that no one can shake.

Emperor Yong'an casually talked about irrelevant political affairs with the chief minister of the cabinet, Hai Shizhang. After waiting for a while, Feng Xi came in and said, "Your Majesty, you are here."

Emperor Yong'an put down the teacup: "Let them in."

Soon, Zhang Bi, governor of Lanjiang Mansion, and three men dressed as Matato people came in.Two of them obviously looked exotic, and one had short brown curly hair and brown eyes.One has short blonde curly hair and black eyes.Both had bronzed skin.The other man is from Mata country, a little fat, with sweat on his forehead, I don't know if he is tired from walking or nervous.The two Haixi natives each held a box in their hands. As soon as the four of them came in, Zhang Bihe knelt down first: "Minister Zhang Bihe, I greet Your Majesty and Shunxiu."

The three people in the back knelt down, and the two Haixi people put the box on the ground and kowtowed like Zhang Bihe.

The fat man kowtowed nervously: "Grassman Li Wansheng, please greet your majesty, please greet your majesty, long live your majesty!"

Two Haixi people, one of whom spoke blunt Matato, kowtowed to His Majesty the Emperor and Shun Yu.Another person expressed his respect in Haixi Mandarin.

Zhuo Ji stared at the Haixi native who couldn't speak the Mata language, but said to Emperor Yong'an: "Your Majesty, what those two are talking about, I can't understand."

Emperor Yong'an, who was about to let the four of them get up, tightened his eyes slightly, and Zhang Xian, Feng Xi, Chang Jing and Xiao Hui who were present couldn't help but look at Fu Chu, feeling extremely surprised in their hearts.Zhuo Ji has written four travel notes in the orthodox Haixi Mandarin, not many people know about it, but Zhang Xian and the others all know about it.

Emperor Yong'an: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Bihe stood up, and the three of them followed suit.Zhang Bihe said: "Your Majesty, this man is Li Wansheng, a businessman from Dengzhou. The two of them, one named Yuan Bosai and the other named Zhang Yousi, are businessmen from Haixi Kingdom." He looked at Li Wansheng.

Li Wansheng stepped forward and introduced nervously: "Your Majesty, Li Wansheng, a grassroots man, is from Dengzhou. He is in the porcelain business in Dengzhou. This Yuan Bosai's real name is Bossy Marcus. This Zhang Yousi, whose real name is Yus Aola, they went to do as the Romans do in our country, so they gave themselves a surname of the country. The two of them just expressed their admiration to His Majesty and You, and they The two wished His Majesty a long live, a long live, a thousand years and a thousand years.

The two of them brought a kind of magic medicine from Pei Banguo and wanted to present it to His Majesty.Caomin boldly recommended the two of them to Mr. Gu of Zhizhou. After taking it, Mr. Gu found that the medicine was really miraculous.After taking it, not only full of energy, but also cured by medicine.Master Gu learned that His Majesty and Zuzu were recuperating in Tongling, so he recommended the three Caomin to Master Zhang, Yin of the Zhang Mansion. "

Zhang Bihe continued: "This medicine is going to be presented to His Majesty, I dare not be careless. I took it for a month and found that the medicine is indeed as the three of them said, so I dare to tell Master Cao about this matter."

Zhuo Ji asked calmly, "Isn't the Haixi country on the west side of the Mata country? Why did they go to the east side?"

It was still Li Wansheng, and he quickly explained: "Back to Zuzu. Caomin has been doing porcelain business with Zhang Yousi. Yuan Bosai came from Dengzhou Port with his fleet, and it was Zhang Yousi who introduced Yuan Bosai to him. grass people."

After Yuan Bosai said a few words, Li Wansheng translated: "Yuan Bosai said that the magic medicine was brought by his fleet from far away Peiban. Your majesty is very wise and mighty, and he is willing to present the magic medicine to your majesty. "

As if he was afraid that Yuan Bosai would take the credit, Zhang Yousi hurriedly interjected: "Caomin and Li Wansheng have been friends for many years, and it was Caomin who made a bridge among them, so that this medicine can be delivered to His Majesty smoothly."

Emperor Yong'an: "Since it is a magic medicine, let me take a look."

Zhang Yousi felt a little relieved when he saw that the Emperor of the Mata Kingdom did not value Yuan Bosai very much because of this.He and Yuan Bosai opened the box, and as soon as the contents were exposed, Zhuo Ji's face turned cold.Thinking that the other party thinks this thing is not good-looking, it is a lie, Yuan Bosai murmured a few words, Li Wansheng translated: "Your Majesty, you, this magic medicine just looks ugly."

Zhuo Ji smiled lightly: "It's dark, should I eat it directly?"

Zhang Bihe didn't want the three of them to take credit again, and immediately said: "This magic medicine is not to be eaten directly, but to be ignited and then inhaled."

The smile on Zhuo Ji's face deepened, but Zhang Xian, Feng Xi, Chang Jing and Xiao Hui's heartbeats stopped for half a beat, and the 翍俍 (master) smiled so creepily!Zhang Xian and Feng Xi didn't dare to delay, Chang Jing and Xiao Hui stepped forward, took the two small boxes and put them on the square table.Zhuo Ji glanced at the black paste-like thing in the box, stretched out a finger and pressed it.

Zhuo Ji asked curiously: "It's lit and inhaled, how should I inhale?"

Emperor Yong'an didn't see him smiling just now, but this time, he also heard that Ai Shi's tone was wrong.He turned his head, and when he saw Zhuo Ji's expression, Emperor Yong'an felt a murderous intent in his heart.

Zhang Bihe took out a cigarette rod from his sleeve, and handed it over with both hands: "You need to use this to smoke."

Zhuo Ji was still smiling, and seemed to like it very much: "Bring it up to me and have a look."

Zhang Xian walked over quickly, took it with both hands, turned around and lowered his head, walked quickly to Zuo Zuo, and handed it over.But in my heart, I am lighting wax for a few people.Zhuo Ji took the cigarette stick, looked at it, and then stood up.

Zhuo Ji walked up to Zhang Bihe with a smile, and asked, "Master Zhang has been smoking for a month?"

Zhang Bihe was a little uncertain about the temperament of this His Majesty's favored servant, and nodded cautiously: "Yes. I have been smoking for a month."

Zhuo Ji smiled again, suddenly, his expression became fierce, he raised the cigarette stick in his hand and pointed it at Zhang Bihe's head and smoked it.Zhang Bihe covered his bloody forehead with a scream, and the six imperial guards guarding the corner and Wu Si who was hiding in the dark rushed up to take Li Wansheng, Yuan Bosai, and Zhang Yousi who hadn't recovered yet. Kicking them to the ground, the guards drew out their sabers and laid them across their necks.Zhang Bihe was also detained by two imperial guards.Outside, a group of guards came in hula la and drew their knives.The sitting officials all stood up with a whoosh, staring in horror at Shun Yu who suddenly burst into flames.

Immediately after Zhuo Ji smoked Zhang Bi and a cigarette, Emperor Yong'an got up and strode over, and hugged Zhuo Ji who was trembling with anger from behind.Since getting to know Zhuo Ji, this was the first time Emperor Yong'an saw him so furious.The Sima Cao Xing of the Ministry of Rites and other officials were terrified, and they immediately knelt down: "Chu Chu calm down!"

Li Wansheng was terrified, and didn't understand why this Shunji reacted like this.On the other hand, Yuan Bosai and Zhang Yousi were pale and panic-stricken. Zhang Yousi was so anxious that he couldn't speak Matato.Li Wansheng: "忍俍! 俍俍! This is really a magic medicine! Caomin, Caomin also took it, it is really a magic medicine!"

Zhang Bihe didn't care about the blood on his head: "Your Majesty! I've been wronged! I've been wronged!" He didn't understand why this Shunju suddenly violently beat up people. Commander!

Emperor Yong'an ignored them at all, he pulled out the cigarette stick in Zhuo Ji's hand and threw it on the ground, comforting him: "Shut up, don't be angry." If this anger is broken, he will feel distressed. "

Zhuo Ji stared angrily at Zhang Bihe, whose face was covered with blood, and scolded: "You said it's a magic medicine? Okay! Come on! Feed him all the magic medicine!"

The two guards rushed up without waiting for His Majesty's order.Zhang Xian came over with a box of magic medicine in person, and the two guards forcibly opened Zhang Bihe's mouth, and stuffed a lump of magic medicine into his mouth.Zhang Bihe's face was covered with blood, he retched, coughed non-stop, tears and snot poured out of him who had been forcibly injected with magic medicine.The other officials turned pale with fright, especially Cao Xing, who couldn't manage Zhang Bihe who was in a panic, and the oldest Hai Shizhang was about to have a heart attack.

A lump of magic medicine was forced into Zhang Bihe's stomach.He didn't stop, the guard picked up another lump and stuffed it for him.Before the stuffing was finished, Zhang Bihe's face was already pale, his whole body was twitching, he was sweating profusely, and his expression was blurred.

Zhuo Ji: "Okay, let me see what it will look like if you take too much of this magic medicine!"

The guards were no longer stuffed, and as soon as they backed away, Zhang Bihe vomited profusely.The guard supporting him let him go, and Zhang Bihe collapsed on the ground, grabbing his neck with both hands, his whole body was like a fish out of water, twitching and thrashing on the ground.Emperor Yong'an hugged Zhuo Ji and retreated, Li Wansheng looked desperate, but Zhuo Ji said: "Unload their jaws!"

With the sound of screams, Li Wansheng, Yuan Bosai, and Zhang Yousi had their jaws removed, and they couldn't commit suicide even if they wanted to.

For half an hour, Zhang Bihe, who had been fed a large amount of magic medicine, suffocated to death in front of everyone.When he stopped thumping, there was vomit and shit all over the floor.A guard probed his nose: "Your Majesty, he is dead."

Li Wansheng burst into tears, whining, he didn't know!He really doesn't know!

Zhuo Ji looked at the three of them bloodthirstyly: "This is the magic medicine you are talking about?!" He stared at Cao Xing, "This is the magic medicine that you, Sima of the Ministry of Rites, recommended to His Majesty! What kind of magic medicine will die if you take too much of it? Such virtue!"

Cao Xing bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang: "Your Majesty must die! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Emperor Yong'an darkened his face: "Take it down!"
