President of Datang [Transmigration Book]

Standing there, Zhu Xieli looked up at the sky, it was already spring, but for some reason he suddenly felt a little cold.

Over there Tian Shengong said thoughtfully: "But what if you can't control it?"

Li Tan said: "If you can't control it, you can't control it. It's time for the court to wake up."

Tian Shengong was almost stunned by such a scoundrel's speech, he couldn't help but said: "But what if we really want to cause chaos?"

Li Tan remained silent, and at that moment Tian Shengong seemed to understand that under this general trend, ordinary people will always be the first to be abandoned.

Seeing his disappointed expression, Li Tan said, "So we have to work harder to nip this possibility in the bud, but... we are so prepared for danger in times of peace, I'm afraid no one in the court can understand."

When Tian Shengong thought of the mocking smiles on the faces of the people around him when he was asking questions that day, he suddenly lost his courage.

Everyone thinks that Datang is so powerful, how could such a thing happen?Everyone felt that he was trying to please the public, and probably only this Highness in front of him would seriously discuss this issue with him.

Tian Shengong couldn't help feeling a little confidant for a while, but he didn't dare to say, what is he?Where can I be a confidant with King Ning?

Seeing the change of expression on Tian Shengong's face, Li Tan said: "You don't have to worry too much, things are not that bad, and no one has the ability to threaten the imperial court now, let alone smash your so-called barbarians It's wrong to beat them to death, there are Khitan and Xibu who are naturally rebellious, but there are also Shatuo people who are wholeheartedly attached to the court, aren't they?"

Tian Shengong asked: "We are attached now, but what if they also develop ambitions in the future?"

"Why do you have to be ambitious? There have been few tribal leaders who have such ambitions for thousands of years. What's more, as long as their lives are stable, I said before that as long as the Tang Dynasty treats everyone equally, the original will not be treated. If we stand on our own side, push it to the opposite side, we are surrounded by enemies, and we don’t need more enemies.”

Tian Shengong said thoughtfully: "If this is the case, can we still divide them? Originally, these barbarians are in chaos, maybe we can..."

Li Tan smiled and was about to say something when he heard Zhu Xieli's voice from the side: "We are not together in the first place, so why divide them?"

Zhu Xieli was really relieved when he heard that Li Tan affirmed the Shatuo tribe and was willing to regard the Shatuo tribe as his own just now, and he was in the mood to talk to him, otherwise he would not know whether he should show up or leave.

Tian Shengong was a little wary after seeing Zhu Xieli. He didn't know Zhu Xieli very well, but Zhu Xieli's appearance basically had the words on his face: I am a barbarian.

Li Tan introduced and said: "This is Zhu Xieli, the general of Zuo Jinwu Guard Zhonglang."

"Zhu Xie?" Tian Shengong asked, "But the Shatuo clan?"

Zhu Xieli nodded: "That's right, the King of Yongshou County is my father."

The young master of the Shatuo clan... Tian Shengong's face suddenly became a little unnatural. He does not regret criticizing the barbarians, after all, there are indeed hidden dangers in the country now.

However, it is embarrassing to say bad things about people behind their backs and still be heard by others.

Tian Shengong is educated, and he has a bit of a gentleman on his body. He wants to apologize but doesn't know how to say it.

Li Tan on the side was much more magnanimous than him, he said directly: "Yin Xing, I was just continuing the previous topic with the field official, what do you think?"

Zhu Xieli looked at him speechlessly, don't you know that the one sitting in front of you is a barbarian?

But from another point of view, it seems that Li Tan really did not confuse him with An Lushan and his ilk.

Zhu Xieli thought for a while and said: "In fact, the current worry of the Tang Dynasty is not only the nation, but also the fact that there are too many feudal towns. Once the imperial court's ability to control the feudal towns declines, these borders will be very easy to feed tigers."

Li Tan clapped his hands and said, "That's right, Father has always adopted a tough military policy in recent years, and those tribes often surrender today and rebel tomorrow, so in order to avoid being caught off guard by them, it is imperative to focus on building border towns." Behavior."

Zhu Xieli said: "However, too many border towns will lead to a situation of tightness on the outside and looseness on the inside, which is extremely detrimental to the imperial court."

Li Tan asked: "If so, what would you do?"

Zhu Xieli lowered his head and thought carefully for a while and said: "There is no good way, we can only start from changing defenses, otherwise..."

Li Tan tilted his head and asked, "Just what?"

Zhu Xieli flashed his eyes and said: "Rectify the entire military system!"

Li Tan's eyes lit up, but he didn't speak. He turned to look at Tian Shengong and asked, "What do the field officials think?"

The field official... the field official is a little dizzy now.

He never thought in his life that one day he would sit here with a prince, a young lord of a minority, to discuss minority issues.

Young Master Zhu Xie, don't you think there is something wrong?

Young Master Zhu Xie didn't think there was anything wrong, on the contrary, he was happy because Li Tan treated each other so frankly, and once again felt that his Ah Tian didn't treat him as an outsider.

Seeing that Li Tan was still waiting for his answer, Tian Shengong calmed down and said, "What the son of Zhu Xie said is very true, but the reform of the system may not be achieved overnight."

Zhu Xieli nodded and said, "So I didn't bring up this idea from the beginning."

Li Tan suddenly asked: "Do the field officials have any research on the art of war?"

Tian Shengong said a little ashamedly: "It's not considered research, I just heard a thing or two from other people's mouths."

Li Tan asked again: "How many military books have you read?"

Tian Shengong lowered his head and said softly, "I haven't seen it."

Li Tan sighed in his heart, it really is the times that make heroes, Tian Shengong has never read military books, so Tian Shengong may not be able to see it ten years later, after all, his living standard is like this.

Military books are more precious than ordinary Confucian books, and most people have to spend a lot of money to buy them, and many military books are not circulated.

Tian Shengong was able to shine in the Anshi Rebellion without reading the book of war. This ability can only be said to be a gift from heaven.

Li Tan felt that it would not delay his buying people's hearts, and he said directly: "I have many military books here, you can choose a few to read first, and then come to me to pick them up after reading."

Tian Shengong was stunned for a moment, he knew that Li Tan must have a lot of books in his hand.

After all, how can you afford Langhuan Book Pavilion if you don’t have enough books?

It's just that he didn't expect that Li Tan would give the book as a gift, so he declined excitedly: "Thank you for your highness, but since the Langhuan Book Pavilion is open now, I will go inside to look for books."

Although many books need to have corresponding exam rankings in order to read them, but Tian Shengong is not afraid, he is only afraid that he will not have the opportunity to access them.

Li Tan said with a smile: "Langhuan Book Pavilion indeed has many books, but there are still some truly precious collections, which I did not put there. Except for me, you will not be able to find this kind of book even if you search the world. .”

Of course I can’t see it, there are many books that are not from this era.

However, things like military books are hidden too much, and Li Tan is not worried that people will find out that they are not books of this era.

Tian Shengong was suddenly caught in a dilemma. He struggled and said, "But...but I don't know anything about the art of war now, so I still need to read some basic books."

Li Tan waved his hand and said, "I have all these books. You can save a lot of time by taking them from me. After all, exams also take time."

Tian Shengong immediately stopped swaying. After all, time is the most precious thing. He is not young, and he doesn't know when he can make further progress. Now that he has such a good opportunity, he must seize it tightly.

When he thought of this, he stood up and cupped his hands to Li Tan and said, "Thank you for your kindness of cultivation, Your Highness. If His Highness is sent in the future, I will go through fire and water."

Li Tan felt at ease, knowing that Tian Shengong was basically one of his own. I have to say, it is really... a bargain to exchange a few books for such a general who can recruit and fight well.

He suppressed his desire to laugh out loud, and said softly: "I don't need you to go through fire and water, as long as you really succeed in your studies, being able to protect the territory of the Tang Dynasty is the greatest reward."

Tian Shengong feels more and more that Li Tan helps the world and has a heart for the common people, which can be seen from the Langhuan Book Pavilion.

He also felt a little pity, if Li Tan was the real prince, he might not be able to fight for the crown prince, but now... he has absolutely no chance.

Tian Shengong said seriously: "This is the way I study."

Li Tan nodded and said: "Go and choose the book. I will test you after reading it. If you pass, you will definitely have a place in Zuo Jinwu Guard."

Tian Shengong became even more excited in an instant, becoming particularly motivated.

Although he has the world in his heart, he still needs to eat. If he can live a good life, it is naturally better to have a higher position.

Taking a ten thousand step back, the higher the official position, the more likely it is to influence the policy of the court, even if it is slight, it is more likely than being a petty official.

Tian Shengong thanked him again and again, and Li Tan asked Qing Kong to take him to the study to pick up the books.

After Tian Shengong left, Li Tan turned to look at Zhu Xieli and asked, "How much have you heard?"

He was a little surprised by Zhu Xieli's sudden sound. He didn't expect Zhu Xieli to come, and this guy doesn't make a sound when he walks?Really a cat?

Zhu Xieli smiled and said, "I didn't hear much, but I just heard you guys discussing whether there will be war."

After thinking about it, he chose to conceal it. After all, no matter if it is a non-my race, their hearts must be different, or they learn from the barbarian's skills to control the barbarians, speaking out will only embarrass each other.

Their identities are different, their positions are different, so what can we say?

What's more, Li Tan's speech has been saying that the Shatuo people and the Han people are bound together, and that the people of the Shatuo people are divided into their own people. This is enough, why bother to pursue it?

After hearing this, Li Tan was slightly relieved. He had just said too much to Tian Shengong, and many things he said could easily cause Zhu Xieli to misunderstand.

Li Tan asked, "You said reforming the military system, do you have any ideas?"

Zhu Xieli shook his head: "I just said that, this kind of thing is basically impossible to happen, the impact is too great, and it is easy to cause turmoil in the country if you are not careful, so I can only stay in words."

After hearing this, Li Tan was quite regretful: "I have thought about it a lot, and I wanted to discuss it with you."

After hearing this, Zhu Xieli was aroused and asked, "Where do you want to start?"

Li Tan stood up and said, "Come with me."

Zhu Xieli followed him all the way to the study, at this time Tian Shengong had already taken the book and left the palace.

Zhu Xieli suddenly asked: "Why do you value Tian Shengong so much? What's so special about him?"

In his opinion, Tian Shengong does have some ideas, but only ideas are not enough. Tian Shengong's foundation is too poor, which makes him seem a bit narrow in many aspects.

This has nothing to do with whether the individual is smart or not. It is mainly because he has too little contact, which has resulted in today's thinking.

And as we all know, thoughts are always the hardest to change.

Li Tan said: "I know what you mean, but don't you think that this person is unconstrained and dares to think about anything? And he seems to be a real talent. Since he has a heart, I just give him a hand. Anyway, for me It’s not a loss at all.”

Zhu Xieli was a little puzzled: "Then why does he insist on taking books from you? Isn't there all in Langhuan Bookstore? Only when he takes the exam can he see whether he has real talents or not."

Li Tanxin said, he went for the exam, and then he made a blockbuster that attracted the attention of others, what should I do when someone comes to snatch me away?

Of course, he wanted to take advantage of Tian Shengong's infancy and show his kindness to him, so that he would follow him wholeheartedly.

Of course, this reason cannot be said, otherwise he would have to explain why Tian Shengong was sure that Tian Shengong would be successful in the future, and it would be too troublesome to explain.

So he said: "He is not young now, if he doesn't work hard now, I am afraid that his achievements will be limited in the future, and taking a few books is just a reward for him coming to talk to me at that time. It is not very valuable, okay. , let’s not talk about him, let’s take a look at this.”

While speaking, Li Tan took out a booklet. The booklet was very thick, but the cover was blank and nothing was written.

After Zhu Xieli took it, he looked at Li Tan with some doubts, and Li Tan said: "This is my previous idea. I also thought about mobilizing the military system. Of course, I also know that this is basically impossible. But thinking about it, it’s not against the law, and it was too messy to pile up all the things in my head, so I sorted them out.”

Zhu Xieli sat down and looked through it a little bit. He was very familiar with the font on it, and he knew it was Li Tan's handwriting at a glance, but the content inside made him more and more surprised.

When he saw the fifth page, his eyes were already rounded.

Sitting there admiring his surprised appearance, Li Tan felt quite refreshed.

This military system reform is actually a combination of all military systems in ancient and modern China and foreign countries, and then modified it.

Perfection is impossible. There has never been a perfect system in this world. The only thing he can do is to make this system more suitable for Datang today.

Therefore, it is impossible to completely copy the military system of later generations, which is basically cutting itself off from the people.

Li Tan has worked hard for this military system, and even consulted a lot of literature, but it is a pity that he may not be able to take out this military system until the end.

But I finally spent my hard work writing it, and I am really unwilling to put it in such a dark place.

Fortunately, Zhu Xieli's thinking is in tune with him, and he also feels that there is something wrong with the current military system, so let him have a look.

Zhu Xieli closed the booklet when he read half of it, and sat there without saying a word for a long time.

Li Tan was a little worried about whether there was something too advanced to stimulate him, but thinking about it, it shouldn't be, he was afraid of being too advanced, so he worked so hard to change it.

He looked at Zhu Xieli carefully and asked, "Yin Xing? What's wrong?"

Zhu Xieli came back to his senses and said: "You... it's a bit complicated, I need to read it slowly, and there are still many things I don't quite understand."

When Li Tan heard it, he immediately felt relieved and said that this is a collection of wisdom from all over the world for 5000 years, and it is normal for him to be unable to understand it for a while.

"Oh, then take it back and read it slowly. But you can't show this to anyone else except you. If you don't understand it, I can explain it to you slowly."

Zhu Xieli immediately said: "Don't worry, this booklet will never be discovered by a third person. In fact, I don't quite understand some things in your general introduction, especially here..."

Zhu Xieli pointed out one of them, and Li Tan explained it as a whole after seeing it. He sorted out this thing bit by bit, and he knew where it was and what it meant.

Li Tan originally wanted to hear Zhu Xieli's opinion, but he never expected that when he explained, he received various master-apprentice values ​​from Zhu Xieli.

Li Tan couldn't help but choked, he really didn't mean to earn Zhu Xieli's master-student value.

After Zhu Xieli asked some questions, he closed the booklet and said, "I'll read the rest slowly. How long have you been preparing?"

In fact, it was only five days. Of course, Li Tan didn't dare to say that, so he had to say vaguely: "It's hard to say, because this idea was formed little by little. Anyway, it has been at least five months."

Five months ago, he happened to be appointed as the General of the Zuo Jinwu Guard, and it was only logical that he was inspired in his position.

Zhu Xieli didn't ask too much, just put the brochure on the table, reached out and hugged Li Tan in his arms, kissed him and said, "You are so good, I am under a lot of pressure."

Li Tan said jokingly: "That's natural, otherwise how would I support you."

Zhu Xieli originally thought that he was the one who raised Li Tan, but thinking about what Li Tan had done recently, he suddenly felt...it might really be Li Tan who raised him.

After all, at the last lantern festival, it was said that Li Tan made a lot of money.

Yes, he held a lantern show not only did not spend money, but made money, all the money came from the venue fees of the merchants.

And even if the venue is rented, it is not possible to set up stalls from beginning to end, but in stages, one stage for dignitaries and nobles, and another stage for ordinary people.

The venue fee for the stage of the aristocratic session is simply astronomical. After all, many merchants are not stupid. As long as they do well and can be favored by nobles, even if it is just a good relationship, they may reach the sky in the future.

What's more, in the future, if they set up a stall in Langhuanshu Pavilion, their value will increase.

After all, it is hard to say whether Langhuan Shuge will hold lantern festivals in the future.

Under the pressure, Zhu Xieli made out with Li Tan for a while, then turned around and took a few books from him, preparing to go back and work hard, which made Li Tan dumbfounded.

After he left, Li Tan began to study his lyre, wrote all the parameters and so on on the drawing, and then called to clear it and said: "Find a craftsman who can make musical instruments, I think Make a piano like this."

After clearing it and looking at it, he was slightly taken aback: "My lord, what is this?"

Li Tan thought for a while and said: "I dreamed of a kind of piano, the sound is very beautiful, so I want to try it out."

He didn't dare to say that he invented this, but it's hard to tell the origin if he didn't, so he might as well leave it to the omnipotent dreamer.

Qingkong glanced at him suspiciously, he had never heard of someone who could make a new musical instrument in a dream.

In this regard, he felt that Li Tan was probably just tossing around casually. Thanks to Li Tan's good temper, he would not let him worry about whether the craftsman would be killed if the instrument was not well made.

However, what he didn't expect was that Li Tan's piano was finished very quickly, and the tone was really good.

Li Tan is also very satisfied with the craftsmanship of that craftsman, all the details he painted on the picture are perfectly presented, and the work is also very delicate.

After he adjusted the strings, he tried to play a piece of music. He Zhizhang, who was coming to look for him at the time, was really surprised when he saw it.

He Zhizhang took the piano and looked around and asked, "What kind of piano is this? Why is the shape so special?"

Li Tan said with a smile: "This is called Shiqin. It is said that in the far west, there is a kind of people called bards. They wander around, compose and sing poems, and they use this qin."

He Zhizhang asked with disbelief, "Why haven't I heard of it?"

Just as Li Tan was about to say something, He Zhizhang looked at Du Fu and Li Bai beside him and asked, "Have you ever heard of Taibai and Zimei?"

Du Fu and Li Bai shook their heads in unison, then looked at Li Tan together with He Zhizhang, their faces seemed to say: I'll see how you make it up.

Li Tan: "What are you doing looking at me like that?"

He Zhizhang handed the qin to Li Bai and said, "Both Zimei and Taibai have traveled around. Within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, there is almost no place they haven't been to. Taibai has even been to the Western Regions. He has never heard of this qin." , Where did Your Majesty hear it from?"

Li Tan: ...

He Zhizhang's logic chain is very simple. Li Bai and Du Fu are both well-informed, and they are also good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. They don't know something. Li Tan, as a prince who has never left the vicinity of Chang'an since his birth, How do you know this kind of thing?

Li Tan sighed, these days... no one would believe the truth.

So he had no choice but to use the previous excuse and said: "I dreamed of this before, and I wanted to make it and try it. I didn't expect it to be able to play."

This time He Zhizhang and others believed it. Anyway, there are always some people who have weird dreams. It is not new for them to write amazing poems or articles because of a dream.

Seeing Li Bai fiddling with Lai Yaqin, Li Tan casually asked, "Is there something wrong with Jian He and the two gentlemen coming together today?"

After he asked this sentence, he found that Li Bai didn't play with the piano anymore, and the expressions of He Zhizhang and Du Fu became very serious. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong? Langhuan Book Pavilion is out. question?"

He Zhizhang said slowly: "It's not a big problem to talk about the problem, it's just... Your Majesty, do you want to control the topics discussed in Shuge?"

Li Tan was slightly taken aback: "What?"

Li Bai added next to him: "Since Langhuan Book Pavilion opened up a separate courtyard for students to debate, many students went there, but...they talked about too many and complicated topics, and some even Still expressing dissatisfaction with the court."

After hearing this, Li Tan calmed down instantly: "Oh, this, it doesn't matter, don't worry about it too much, let them debate as they please, but you must take care of it, don't let them start their hands, um, get a gentleman over there later Banners with words but hands."

Li Bai glanced at He Zhizhang, and He Zhizhang simply said: "Not only is there dissatisfaction with the court, but there are also people who have a lot of complaints about you. If you let it go like this, I'm afraid..."

Li Tan was quite speechless after hearing this, but thinking about it, it seems that there is no problem, there are always some people who eat and use other people's food and still scold them.

He simply said: "Let them go. No one is perfect. Of course, I have made mistakes. If there are mistakes, I will correct them. If what they say is wrong, everyone's eyes are sharp and they will not be taken lightly." Walk."

He Zhizhang muttered a few sentences: "If there is something, change it, if not, then encourage it." Then he praised: "Your Majesty's heart is beyond human reach."

Li Tanxin said, that's not it, I just think they are still on my territory after scolding me for a long time?Do you have to bow to me if you want to read?

He Zhizhang said: "It's just that in the long run, I'm afraid the king's reputation will be damaged."

Li Tan said: "I know this matter well..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Bai on the side said: "Now it is widely rumored that Langhuan Book Pavilion has the style of Jixia Academy."

After hearing this, Li Tan smiled and said, "They really think highly of me. It would be great if it could become the second Jixia Academy."

Where is Jixia Academy?

The institutions of higher learning run by Tian Qi during the Warring States period, the most spectacular "contending of a hundred schools of thought" in the entire history of Chinese thought spread from Jixia Academy as the center.

At that time, Jixia Academy, as the central venue for academic contention among hundreds of schools of thought, did not contribute to the formation of the world's academic contention situation.

However, it is basically impossible to reproduce the glory of Jixia Academy now.

After all, Confucianism is dominant now, and Legalism is not bad, and many other schools of thought have been submerged in history.

He Zhizhang had no choice but to say: "In these days, I often see saints in disguise passing by, my lord, have you thought about the way out of cooking oil with flowers and flowers?"

Li Tan thought for a while and said: "I'm going to the palace today to ask Dad, if he thinks it's inappropriate, then this place for debate will be banned in the future."

It is actually not suitable for private people to speak out widely. This means that Li Tan has the status of a prince, so he has not been criticized for the time being, but if things go on like this... If even Li Longji is not on his side, then Very difficult.

He opened Langhuan Book Pavilion to give himself the value of master and apprentice. The original debate place was also for people to read books. As for a place to exchange ideas, who knows what those rotten scholars are talking about, maybe there is hatred in it. National Party, it is indeed very dangerous to think like this.

Li Tan put the matter aside, and then asked, "Who is the lecturer scheduled for now?"

He Zhizhang took out a piece of paper and said, "I haven't talked about anything on it yet."

Li Tan took it over and looked dizzy, there were at least dozens of names on it.

He couldn't help asking: "Why are there so many people?"

Du Fu sighed from the side: "This is still the result of our strict screening."

There are too many books in Langhuan Book Pavilion, so many that no scholar can resist. If they don't have important positions, they even want to soak in it and read.

It is precisely because of this that many people have moved their minds, and some people who are unappreciated want to come and try their luck.

There are even a lot of teaching assistants from Guozixue here to join in the fun, can there not be many people?

Li Tan said melancholy: "I want to jump in line."

The previous lesson directly made his master and apprentice worth more than [-] million. Wouldn't it be possible to break one billion after a few more lessons?

Isn't that one step closer to his dream of evacuating the mall?

He Zhizhang and the others didn't quite understand why he insisted on giving lectures, so they said, "The next ten days have already been arranged, and the king may... have no way to jump in the queue."

Li Tan: ...

He was worried about this at the beginning, so he was divided into so many subjects, why didn't he get his share in the end?

Li Tan expressed his anger: "Raise the standard! Don't let random people come in and mislead your children!"

He Zhizhang almost vomited blood: "Your Majesty, if you improve the standard, you will be comparable to the Imperial College!"

Where is Langhuan Book Pavilion?Where is the Imperial College?Do you want to teach alone?

Facing He Zhizhang's unfriendly gaze, Li Tan swallowed the sentence that it doesn't matter, thought for a while and asked, "Arrangement for me at the Mathematical Academy, let me see who dares to snatch it from me!"

I really didn't expect that he would still teach mathematics. Hey, he still wanted to teach general subjects. After all, there are few people studying mathematics.

But it doesn't matter, lectures are based on the personal charm of the lecturer.

He Zhizhang also knew that Li Tan's mathematics level was good, so he felt at ease when he jumped in the queue in this subject, and it wouldn't cause too much backlash anyway.

The fact is also the same. Those who originally wanted to spread their knowledge of mathematics, after hearing that Li Tan was going to give a lecture, not only willingly gave up their lecture places, but even almost fought over the lecture places.

On the day of the lecture, Li Tan had already prepared for a small number of people, but he did not expect that the whole room was basically full, and there were still many people crowded in front of the windows outside to listen.

Li Tan feels at ease, and feels that there is still value as a master and apprentice.

However, he didn't intend to only talk about mathematics. In the process of teaching mathematics, he often quoted from many sources and related everything as long as it could be related, but it didn't affect the original rhythm, and there was a lot of dry stuff.

After the whole class, many people still couldn't get enough of what they were listening to, and some students even shouted when the get out of class was over: "Your Highness, when is the next lecture?"

Seeing that everyone likes to listen to his class, Li Tan said with a smile, "Next time, take a holiday."

As soon as he said this, the students who wanted to listen to the lecture sighed regretfully. His Highness's lecture was so interesting that they wished to listen to a few more lectures.

On the contrary, those who were supposed to give lectures felt regretful and relieved, and at the same time felt a little stressed—how does this His Highness know so much at such a young age?

He not only understands arithmetic, but also understands the law, and even knows how to check things!

Li Tan packed up his things and was still thinking about whether to go to Zhu Xieli for a while, when he saw Qingkong hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, the saint has called you into the palace."

Li Tan was a little confused, but he changed into a Taoist robe and went in. Anyway, as long as he appeared in front of Li Longji and Concubine Yang, he basically wore a Taoist robe now, in order to remind them that I want to make alchemy, I love alchemy, and I can't be addicted to alchemy Extricate yourself.

Li Longji felt a headache when he saw Li Tan's Taoist robe, he waved his hand weakly and said, "Go and see what's going on with them."

What they were talking about was those Taoist priests, who were different from the energetic ones on the first day. When Li Tan saw them today, he found that all of them had pale faces, dark circles under their eyes, and were extremely depressed.

Li Tan was taken aback immediately: "You guys...couldn't you be concocting alchemy without sleep?"

Liu Daoshi, as a person who had a lot of contact with Li Tan, had obvious bags under his eyes at this time, and his hair became messy after washing. He said weakly, "I'm too dull to refine the elixir."

In fact, not only could it not be refined according to the original pill formula, but they even added or subtracted some things that did not affect the properties of the medicine, but could make the medicine into a pill, but the result was still the same.

The medicines these people refine are all black powders, and they don't seem to know whether they can be eaten or not!

In order to be able to achieve the alchemy, they really turned their heads gray. In the end, everyone doubted whether Li Tan's alchemy formula was right or not.

Li Tan took a look at the medicine powder they prepared, and even wondered if what these people prepared was black fire medicine. Why did it smell so wrong?

After discovering that someone suspected him, Li Tan said directly: "Wait until you clean up the alchemy room, leaving only the medicinal materials on the alchemy formula. I will go in and refine them. I can't handle everything."

In fact, the best way is to let people watch from the sidelines and watch him refine the elixirs bit by bit.

But no, he has system blessings, basically he doesn't even need the pill furnace, he just stands next to the medicine mortar, reads a line, and the pill will come out.

Li Tan can only try to make everything transparent, and then use this thing to refine the elixir.

Fortunately, alchemy is something that needs to be kept secret. Most people will not let anyone stay in alchemy except Shaohuozi, so no one thinks that Li Tan's request is too much.

Li Tan asked Tang Tang to put on Taoist clothes, followed him directly into the alchemy room, and then stood beside the medicine mortar and finished making the medicine, then he fell asleep.

He's been so busy recently, he feels that he's not getting enough sleep, especially since Zhu Xieli is always running towards him, every day he has to be on guard to prevent himself from bullying minors on impulse.

This time he slept until the afternoon, stretched his waist after getting up, and walked out of the alchemy room.

As soon as he went out, all the Taoist priests surrounded him.

Li Tan silently handed out the porcelain bottle containing the elixir, Taoist Liu took it over, opened it and smelled it, his spirit lifted instantly, and he said excitedly: "This...this medicine..."

Daoist Liu was trembling and couldn't understand what he said. The Taoist beside him was waiting anxiously, so he couldn't help but snatched the porcelain bottle and sniffed it, and then his face was intoxicated.

Li Tan stared dumbfounded at these Taoist priests who all stood there in a daze after smelling them one by one. The expressions on their faces were very peaceful, like a group of addicts who had just taken drugs.

It took quite a while for Taoist Liu to come back to his senses, and said with emotion: "The smell of this medicine makes people feel good physically and mentally. It is really extraordinary. It's because I'm not good at learning."

Daoshi Liu is very sorry, this kind of elixir can really save lives, but they can't make it with the elixir formula, how can people not regret it?

Li Tan put on a show and said: "In this case, everyone, come face to face with me."

In fact, Li Longji was also very curious about the result. After hearing that only Li Tan could refine it, he was silent for a while, and sighed regretfully, "If that's the case, it's up to you."

Concubine Yang Gui stood aside, her face was not particularly good-looking. Although she knew it was impossible, she still hoped that Li Tan could fight for the throne in her heart.

What ridiculous things didn't happen to the royal family?Even if he couldn't compete with Li Heng, he could still compete with Li Chu.

That's all right, I'm totally ineligible.

No matter what the two of them were thinking, Li Tan happily prepared to go back to inform Zhu Xieli of the "good news", but as soon as he returned to the palace, he heard Qingkong say: "Your Majesty, the prisoner Li Xiu is here to visit."

Li Tan was slightly taken aback, Li Linfu's only remaining eldest son?What is he here for?

Although he was puzzled, Li Tan still went to see Li Xiu, but before he could ask any questions, Li Xiu saluted and said, "Your Highness, please save my father."
