"I take care of everything and bring peace to the world. Doesn't this great achievement allow me to attain enlightenment and become an immortal?"
"Monsters can live hundreds of years, and gods can survive even longer. With my will, monsters can become enlightened and gods can perish. Is it possible that when it comes to matters of life and death, I am not even as good as them?"
No matter how you think about it, in this position, with your body completely decaying, and as an emperor, it is difficult not to panic, and it is difficult to accept this fate calmly.
However, something was messing up in his mind. Seeing that everyone in the palace was also panicking, the emperor was bored and directly yelled: "Okay, why are you panicking!"
His scolding voice was not loud, but it immediately drowned out the sounds in the hall.
Led by the chief eunuch who was on duty today, the group of panicked eunuchs all stood there blankly. Although they were no longer panicked, there was a deeper fear in their eyes.
These people actually thought that the emperor was having a comeback. After all, after the emperor vomited blood just now, his whole body was obviously declining. At this time, his face was also pale, showing a kind of deathly gray. Under such circumstances, he suddenly became energetic again. In this situation, How ominous it looks.
However, the emperor already had a plan and did not look at the frightened expressions of these eunuchs: "Summon Huo Wuyong, Xue Ming, Liu Zhan, and Yu Qianzhi for me."
"Yes!" A eunuch immediately followed the order and left.
Su Hou turned pale with fright at this time. When the emperor glanced at him, he also scolded: "You also stand down!"
"Yes!" Su Hou hurriedly stepped back as if he had saved his life, and walked out of the imperial study without daring to stay at all, let alone talk to anyone, and headed straight out of the palace.
As soon as I left the palace gate, I saw an ox cart approaching quickly. A Taoist jumped out of the cart and strode towards it.
Su Hou knew the person who came, it was Liu Zhan. It seemed that he came as soon as he received the news. The reason why he came so quickly must be because the eunuchs in the palace used a special messenger.
When he thought that he had accidentally been involved in such a thing, Suhou felt regretful and felt that he had come at the wrong time.
He was worried in his heart and did not dare to speak to him. He just nodded and passed Liu Zhan, chasing behind him like an evil ghost. He hurriedly got into the bullock cart parked outside and asked the driver to drive away quickly.
Liu Zhan stopped and looked back at the bullock cart that quickly drove away. He smelled an unusual smell and felt a little uneasy.
"I wonder if the foreshadowing I laid in Emperor Long'an's mausoleum has worked?"
"It's a pity that we couldn't get some news from Suhou. Suhou left too hastily."
"But it also just shows that something happened in the palace."
Thinking like this, and hearing more than one bullock cart arriving behind him, he did not go in immediately, but slowed down a little.
Sure enough, after a while, Yanxia Master Yu Qianzhi caught up with him.
As soon as their eyes met, they realized that what they were thinking was probably similar to theirs.
"The person behind is Xue Ming." The two walked quickly inside. Yu Qianzhi said to Liu Zhan in an inaudible voice on the way.
"So many people were summoned this time?" Liu Zhan knew without looking back that the two of them would follow closely.
Not to mention others, Xue Ming is the official seal of the Daolu Department. Since the Daolu Department is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, Xue Ming, the chief officer of the Daolu Department, often sees him.
But similarly, Dao Lusi, Liu Zhan, and Yu Qianzhi belong to different factions. Liu Zhan is a real person from a serious Taoist temple, and although Yu Qianzhi is a civil servant, he has inherited the Taoist tradition and can be regarded as a member of the Taoist sect. People, although the two are not from the same faction, they are indeed in the same camp on some things.
But Daolu Division is different. The people in Daolu Division are actually not Taoists, but officials. Because their families are knowledgeable, like Qin Tianjian, it is a hereditary yamen in Dazheng. Although they also use magic, they are not like Liu Zhan and others. People have conflicts of interest.
Normally, the two parties rarely work together. They usually only get together when they are doing very important things for the emperor. They usually just nod when they meet, and they rarely communicate in private.
Both Liu Zhan and Yu Qian had a premonition that something big would happen in the palace if three groups of people were summoned at the same time.
"I hope it's not the emperor's fault." Although they didn't like the man on the dragon throne, they both had similar thoughts at this moment due to various reasons.
At this time, nothing can happen to the emperor.
When we arrived at the imperial study, there were palace maids standing in front of all the doors in the corridor. Inside, there was a bright yellow curtain, and the bookshelves were scattered in an orderly manner. Occasionally, eunuchs came in and out. They all wore flat soft shoes and made no sound.
And there was a Taoist standing at the door, looking intently.
"Alchemist Huo Wuyou, this person is here."
The emperor's mind is basically a check and balance. This is another sect. They usually make elixirs for the emperor. Everyone's heart sank. At this moment, Eunuch Zhao came out with a pale face: "The emperor has summoned you, please walk softly and don't make any noise. "
"yes!"
Liu Zhan, Yu Qianzhi, Xue Ming, and Huo Wuyong responded and followed in. They saw bookshelves full of books and incense. When they smelled them, they were refreshed. The emperor was lying on the soft couch with his clothes and closed his eyes to rest. , so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty."
The four of them kowtowed and looked at the emperor's pale face, quietly sizing him up. Liu Zhan was shocked. He was afraid that his vitality had been damaged, and even a doctor with excellent medical skills would not be able to save him. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The Ninth Five-Year-Old Lord" , is still a mortal body,"
Because he saw that the emperor's face did not have a strong look of death for the time being, and knew that the emperor would not die in the near future, Liu Zhan's originally worried heart was slightly relieved.
Before coming, he had thought of the worst possibility. After looking at the emperor's condition, he found that although it was not much better, it was slightly better than what he had guessed, so he could naturally accept it.
“And, it’s exactly what I wanted.”
"If you are in good health, how can you fool the emperor into seeking immortality and enlightenment?"
Yu Qianzhi was shocked and thought to himself: "I heard that Su Ziji had returned to Beijing and was given a residence. I'm afraid it has something to do with the emperor's health. He didn't know that the emperor's body couldn't hold on at this time, so he was worried about Su Ziji. In terms of advantages and disadvantages.”
"Ordinarily, with the emperor's protection, Su Ziji can have time to develop his power. If the emperor's body cannot support it, it should be harmful to Su Ziji. But it has to be said that if the emperor is not ill, he wants to To check and balance the kings, they may not recognize Su Zi’s status so early.”
With emotion in his heart, Yu Qianzhi stood up calmly.
The emperor, who was sitting on the couch in the upper position, was still breathing a little while sitting upright. He suppressed all the discomforts in his body and no longer had the energy to make a roundabout way. He directly said to the people below: "Next, make something for me. Give me back the elixir."
Xue Ming originally stood with his head bowed after seeing the ceremony. When he heard these words, he was startled and raised his head: "Your Majesty, the recipe for the Great Return Pill has not been perfected yet!"
The Daolu Division has cooperated with Huo Wuyong to perfect the elixir formula as soon as possible, but it still needs time, and it also needs continuous exploration of clues in Emperor Long'an's tomb. If something goes wrong, the entire Daolu Division will not be able to make up for the sin. .
