Chapter 713

Li Ke doesn't care about Li Chengqian's life, nor does he care about Li Tai's life. The third son of the eldest grandson empress, Li Ke may care more about his little tail. He likes to follow Li Ke's ass since he was a child. Li Zhi, who was obedient.

But Li Ke never thought of killing Li Chengqian and Li Tai, even if they threatened Li Ke's status more than once, it would not be difficult for Li Ke to kill them.

Li Ke didn't do it for brotherhood, let alone for the so-called benevolence and righteousness. Li Ke didn't care too much about these things. The reason why Li Ke kept Li Chengqian's life was because of a promise to a person, which Li Ke valued.

Li Keyou can still remember that in the winter of the 11th year of Zhenguan, lying in the Lizheng Palace, the dying woman who was smarter than anyone else-Empress Changsun.

In terms of talent and learning, she is not as good as Cen Wenwen, who is famous all over the world; in terms of strategy, she is not as good as Fang Xuanling, who is full of strategies and good at governing the country; , but Li Ke felt that she was the smartest person in the world, because she could not only see through the situation, but also let go of her obsessions, even if she was asked to give up the throne and the country of the princes.

Empress Changsun knew very well that although her sons were all intelligent, they were not Li Ke's opponents, so she made a deal with Li Ke at the last moment of her life, and helped Li Ke advance the most critical step in becoming a prince. Without her, maybe Li Ke might not be the prince yet, but without her, Li Chengqian and Li Tai might have lost their lives long ago. This is what she saw and she chose.

The wisdom is higher than Si, and the virtue is higher than Si. The Empress of the Ages, the eldest grandson Zhixian is incomparable, and Zong Dou Yifang and Yin Lihua are also weaker. This is why Li Ke respects the Empress Changsun so much and keeps his promise.

On this side, Li Ke ordered people to arrest Chai Kuan, not only to save Li Chengqian's life now, but also to have one more means in his hands to manipulate him in the future. At the same time, Cheng Gongying, who had been waiting for many days, was recommended by Zhang Liang. I also met Li Shimin as I wished.

The reason why Zhang Liang recommended Cheng Gongying to Li Shimin was not entirely because of Li Ling's words. In fact, Zhang Liang himself also hoped to place people in the palace, beside Li Shimin, to help him listen to the news and say something.

Chang'an City, Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace.

"Wuliang Tianzun, poor Daoist Cheng Gongying, I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Cheng Gongying was dressed in a Taoist robe, which was quite a bit of a show, standing in the hall, and bowed to Li Shimin who was sitting above him.

Li Shimin raised his hand, watched Cheng Gongying get up, and then asked: "The Taoist priest was recommended by Zhang Liang to enter the palace. I think the Taoist priest also knows why I heard you?"

In the past few days, Li Shimin has also met some masters from various Daoist temples in Liangdu. He might not be willing to meet such an unknown person if he was recommended by Liang.

Cheng Gongying said: "Since the poor Taoist recommended himself, he naturally knows."

Li Shimin saw that Cheng Gongying was still so calm in the face of his question, and he looked a bit superior, so he nodded and asked, "I don't know who the master is?"

Cheng Gongying replied: "The poor Taoist master is from Ziyang Palace Nanhua real person."

Li Shimin is very unfamiliar with the name of Ziyang Palace and the Daoist name of Nanhua Daoist. Li Shimin listened to Cheng Gongying's words and worried that Cheng Gongying was a person who deceived the world and stole his name. , why haven't I heard of it?"

In fact, Cheng Gongying is not a famous Taoist disciple. He is a quack warlock who has been in the market. He has a little knowledge of Taoist classics and alchemy techniques. He is just a little more courageous. In fact, the so-called Ziyang Palace and Nanhua Real Man are all made up by him. .

These are all the words Cheng Gongying prepared in advance. Now that he has said so, he is naturally ready to be questioned by Li Shimin. Cheng Gongying replied without thinking: "Your Majesty often stays in Guanzhong. I don't know that Ziyang Palace also exists. Ziyang Palace is located in Fujian." Zhongwuyi Mountain, not to mention Guanzhong people, even Fujian people don’t know much about it.”

Fujian belongs to Jiangnan Road, which is the land of Fujian and Yue. The location is remote, thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and the news is not smooth. It is reasonable for Li Shimin not to know about a gymnasium in Fujian.

Li Shimin said: "It turns out that the Taoist priest knows my intentions and dares to recommend himself to the imperial court. He must have some real skills."

Cheng Gongying said: "Our Central Fujian branch, in terms of face-to-face pushing stars, may not be able to compare with the Guanzhong branch headed by Xuandu Temple, but Central Fujian has the most flowers, plants and strange rocks, and the Central Fujian Taoist school is best at alchemy."

In the remoteness of central Fujian, in the eyes of the people at the time, there were indeed the most various kinds of caterpillar fungus, and naturally there were also the most medicinal materials. Cheng Gongying's words made sense.

Li Shimin then asked: "I don't know if Master Lingshi Nanhua is still alive, when was he born, and how old is this year?"

Li Shimin's question was naturally to test Cheng Gongying. Cheng Gongying said that Ziyang Palace is the best at alchemy. If even Master Nanhua himself can't live long, then Cheng Gongying's words are naturally very absurd and self-defeating.

Cheng Gongying's expression was as usual, she pinched her fingers and thought about it for a moment, and replied: "My teacher was born in Tianjian for the second year, and he is alive this year, and he is exactly 40 years old."

At this time, Cheng Gongying's words caught his ears, and Li Shimin finally showed some smiles on his face. Li Shimin's words just now seemed to be asking Cheng Gongying the age of Nanhua real person, but it was actually a test of Cheng Gongying.

According to what Cheng Gongying said, Nanhua real person is now 40 years old, then there are two year names corresponding to the year he was born, one is the fourth year of Jingming in the Northern Wei Dynasty, because the Northern Wei Dynasty occupied the Central Plains, so this year name is widely known, and The other is the second year of Nanliang Tianjian, which is exactly the one Cheng Gongying answered.

If Cheng Gongying answered the fourth year of Jingming, then Li Shimin must have doubts about Cheng Gongying's identity, because 140 years ago, Fujian belonged to Nanliang, and the name of Nanliang is naturally recorded, and it will never be the Northern Wei Dynasty. Tuoba clan's year name.

Li Shimin is also a cautious person. After probing, he asked Cheng Gongying: "Since I contracted an illness in Liaodong during this imperial conquest, I have been suffering from physical discomfort. I often feel cold and even lack of energy. Seeking medical treatment is fruitless. , I don’t know if there is a way to grow up?”

After waiting for so long, Cheng Gongying finally heard Li Shimin's words. Cheng Gongying suppressed the excitement in her heart, and said to Li Shimin: "There is an alchemy method handed down by your family teacher in the poor way. Pindao's elixir, within a month, you will be in good health, and all diseases will be gone."

Li Shimin asked: "I don't know how many days it will take for this pill to be made?"

Cheng Gongying replied: "It's not difficult to refine this elixir, it will take half a month, and I will send it to Your Majesty after I have refined the elixir."
