emperor! "
Eunuch Zhao did not expect that His Majesty would suddenly ask this question as soon as he woke up. He felt sour in his heart. He hurriedly bent down and carefully replied: "Your Majesty, according to your instructions, the people from the Imperial City Department and the Daolu Department have already entered." There are indeed alchemy scriptures and Taoist scriptures inside."
"Only after inspection by the Taoist Records Department and the palace attendants, the "Secrets of the Three Vehicles of Enlightenment", "Returning to the Source", "Alchemy Song", "Ziqingzhixuanlu", etc. all exist in the palace. Book."
"Although there are some differences, they are not big."
"Only "The Purple Court Chapter" and "The True Records of the Immortals Meeting" are new."
"Oh, is there a way to become an immortal in it?"
"The True Records of the Immortals Meeting is just an anecdote, and in the Purple Court Chapter, although there are several elixir prescriptions in the initial judgment, their effectiveness is similar to that of the Xiao Huan Dan you took."
"Xue Ming said that you may be able to improve your current Xiaohuan Dan and remove its resistance."
"But even if this is the case, Your Majesty, you must cultivate yourself and take care of your dragon body. You must know that medicine always contains some poison. Only when your dragon body is healthy can it withstand it."
The emperor's eyes brightened slightly, then dimmed. Xiao Huan Dan was already a master of alchemy. Ten years ago, it was still a dragon and a tiger, but now it is better than nothing. How can the pill formula be improved?
Even if it improves, how can I have time to cultivate myself? If I don't talk about political affairs, how can I worry about my few evil sons?
If you cultivate yourself and let others see your weakness, I am afraid that all the officials will defect to the possible new monarch in the future. Not to mention that the general situation may change immediately. If you form a party and join the party, no matter which new monarch comes to power in the future, you will not be able to do it. No liquidation.
Then there was another bloody storm.
The bloody storm is actually nothing more than the death of some ministers, but the four words of death for the second generation are always lingering in my heart. Although the possibility is extremely low, what if trouble really occurs and the country is broken?
The emperor thought about it carefully, and Eunuch Zhao spoke again.
"Your Majesty, the search for Emperor Long'an's true mausoleum has not yet been completed. Let me help you to hurry up. If we search further, we may still gain something."
But even if I say it, I haven't said it yet. There are blueprints for the true mausoleum, and there are many people who are specialized in it. After searching for it, it's almost nine out of ten.
It is not impossible to say that there are loopholes, but it is not very hopeful. Moreover, Emperor Long'an was able to build so many fake mausoleums. The real mausoleum of Emperor Long'an may not be missing mechanisms. If he moves too fast and triggers a self-destruct mechanism, the entire mausoleum will be destroyed. , this is completely impossible to explain.
Why doesn't the emperor know this truth?
After hearing this, he didn't say anything else, but remained silent for a long time, and then sighed.
The old and weak lion felt his own weakness. At this moment, as the emperor, he suddenly recalled many things.
Not only was he deceived and eventually killed his beloved eldest son in order to change the prophecy of the death of Zheng Chao II more than ten years ago, but also the various things he had encountered in recent years, and when he thought of his adult son The restlessness, a kind of anger caused by the fear of the old and the weak, suddenly surged into his heart.
After a long time, the emperor slowly said: "I have sent an oral message to summon Su Ziji urgently and order him not to be delayed along the way. He must return to Beijing within one month."
"Send the decree to the clan's mansion and ask them to quickly submit the optional names and prepare for the inscription ceremony!"
Eunuch Zhao paused after hearing this.
Prior to this, the emperor had ordered the immediate recall of Su Ziji, and even asked the clan government to make preparations to name Su Ziji.
Now another oral message was passed, urging Su Ziji to come back again. Such actions of constantly hastening to summon Su Ziji back all proved that the emperor was very uneasy and anxious at the moment.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Zhao responded quickly.
The emperor breathed for a while, and then he spoke again: "Also, bring me all my coupons!"
Eunuch Zhao didn't dare to dissuade him, so he hurriedly brought up a pile of folding notes.
A small table was placed on the bed so that the emperor could review the papers on the bed while leaning on the soft cushions.
The emperor held the ink pen, tremblingly, and circled a few names on several secret folds: "I will demote these people. Also, once Su Ziji returns to Beijing, plan No. A will be implemented immediately."
Eunuch Zhao glanced at several names. After hearing these words, his heart trembled and he bent deeper: "Yes!"
Yong'an Palace
A room in the side hall was originally deserted, but now it has been heavily repaired. There is an ever-burning lantern all year round, which is kept on day and night. In front of the ever-lasting lantern and the tributes, there are memorial tablets of the prince and those in the prince's palace.
The queen would often come and sit for a while and talk to the prince's memorial tablet. Because she was an elder and could not directly offer sacrifices to the prince and others. She had a close female official to offer things every day to prevent the prince's family from being neglected underground.
Today was no exception. The queen entered the room alone again, stayed for a while and came out. Sitting on a chair in the side hall, someone reported everything one by one.
"Your Majesty, Yang Wenguang brought six baskets of tangerines and ten jars of jujube wine that your Majesty loves!"
The queen was stunned for a long time. This Yang Wenguang was from her mother's family, and he was considered a nephew. It was impossible to say that she had no feelings for him. But before she reconciled, she had shrunk into a tortoise, fearing that he would have anything to do with her, but now she does. Give gifts eagerly.
But in the blink of an eye, I think about it, my family has been attacked by the emperor, my elder brother has been dismissed, and my younger brother has lost his position. How can I not be cautious?
He said calmly: "Filial piety or not, it doesn't matter if it's not about these false etiquettes. He is also a sixth-grade official. He does things sincerely and doesn't pay tribute. I am also happy."
Just as he said that, a eunuch hurried in, knelt down in front of the queen, and reported: "Empress, Your Majesty has sent another decree, asking Su Ziji to return as soon as possible and let him return to the clan!"
"What?"
When the queen heard this, she immediately put aside her nephew's matter. She immediately stood up and asked, "Is this true?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, the Queen was puzzled when she learned that the emperor not only issued another oral order to speed up Su Ziji's return, but also sent an order to the Zongren Mansion to make preparations for naturalization.
"What happened? Why is he so anxious all of a sudden?"
Even though the queen had long been looking forward to Su Ziji's return to the clan, this time suddenly, the emperor tightened the matter without even saying hello to her in advance. This was too sudden, and the queen always felt that something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is feeling unwell for a short time today and misses your grandson even more."
The eunuch thought for a while and said: "The royal study room summoned the imperial doctor, but later he said it was just a temporary discomfort. I really can't find out the specific details."
"I see."
Every move of the emperor, especially his health, was kept secret. It was good to hear this. The queen sat back again, gently touched the scroll in front of her with her hand, and said to the eunuch: "I don't blame you for this, you have done your best. , ordered to go down and prepare dinner for me, and I will go see him."
"yes!"
