People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1367: Regicide, the emperor’s end is approaching

Prince Peng's Mansion, the backyard medicine hall.

Liu Jinyu stood in front of the medicine hall, looked at the maid behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Stay away, and don't let others get close."

"Yes!" The maid behind her bowed and walked away.

Liu Jinyu opened the door and entered, and immediately saw Li Xuan searching for medicinal materials in front of the bookshelf.

"Husband." Liu Jinyu closed the door with her hands behind her back, walked up to Li Xuan, and then asked in a low voice: "Is there any clue about that matter?"

"Yeah!" Li Xuan nodded, holding the herbal medicine a little slowly, and then said: "Lu Shengzhi told me about a method of refining the life-extending pill."

"What kind of refining method?" Liu Jinyu stared at Li Xuan closely.

"The refining method is an orthodox Taoist method. It uses five herbs: ginseng, deer antler, Ganoderma lucidum, fleece-flower root, and Tianshan snow lotus. Each is combined with the five internal organs of the human body. The alchemy is made according to the four seasons of heaven. Finally, a person with great luck opens the furnace. Get the pill."

Li Xuan sighed softly and said: "There is only one great way, life-extending elixirs are too taboo, so even if it is an orthodox elixir method, those who participate in refining the elixirs will become seriously ill afterwards, and some unlucky ones may even die."

"So Xia'er is the one who prescribes the medicine." Liu Jinyu immediately understood Xia'er's role in this.

"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded lightly and said: "This is a method of borrowing luck. In ancient times, it was just for good luck. But now, the method has been lost, and this lucky person has become a disguised medicine guide. , after the furnace is turned on, although it will not lead to death, a serious illness is inevitable, and it will inevitably lead to a decline in luck and bad luck in the future. "

"Husband, Xia'er can't do such a thing. Once she does, her life will be over." Liu Jinyu grabbed Li Xuan's arm tightly.

She knew that although Li Xuan's loyalty to the emperor was not sincere, if Xia'er did not die, after weighing the pros and cons, Li Xuan might really give up on Xia'er.

Otherwise, why would he come to the pharmacy today?

Li Xuan paused, turned to look at Liu Jinyu, and said, "Actually, if you don't consider that your majesty may end up in a coma, I feel that the current matter is just a test for my husband. Your majesty has no regard for Xia at all." What are you planning to do?"

Liu Jinyu was stunned, how could he say this.

But then, Liu Jinyu came to his senses and said directly: "It's impossible. If that's the case, there are countless ways to do this. Why would Master Qiu Ji be alarmed?"

A voyeuristic monk turned everything upside down.

Peeping at Ji, a disciple of Xuanzang.

Since Xuanzang retrieved the Buddhist scriptures from Tianzhu, almost all Buddhists in China came to Daci'en Temple to receive the new Buddhist scriptures that Xuanzang had repaired and compiled.

Many people even worship Xuanzang as their teacher.

For a time, Xuanzang had become the leader of Buddhism in the East.

But since Xuanzang passed away, the status of Da Ci'en Temple has declined rapidly.

But even so, as a disciple of Xuanzang and the presiding officer of Daci'en Temple, Guiji had a pivotal position in the entire Eastern Land.

Even if the emperor had a plan, he would not use him and could not use him.

How can you talk nonsense.

Not to mention that Buddhism is really targeting Xia'er.

Liu Jinyu didn't believe that Li Xuan couldn't see through this.

Li Xuan turned to look at Liu Jinyu, nodded calmly, and said, "Madam, remember, if someone asks you about it in the future, you will just say what your husband said."

Liu Jinyu was stunned for a moment, then calmed down immediately, and then asked in a low voice: "Has your husband already found a solution?"

"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded and said: "In ancient times, the method was complete, but there were all kinds of risks, let alone nowadays, with all kinds of substitution methods, if you don't pay attention, it will cost a person's life, how can you be careless as a husband. "

"How to replace it?" Liu Jinyu didn't notice it before, but now she keenly realized that everything is based on this substitution.

"From ancient times to the present, herbal medicines have been rare for thousands of years, and the Qi of the five internal organs cooperates with them. After the method is lost, they can no longer even take the Qi of the five internal organs. Those stupid people will only use the five internal organs of human beings to replace them, and then cooperate with the movement of the four seasons. Finally, the luck of the atmosphere The person who opened the furnace will inevitably see blood." Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head.

"You can see the blood in the furnace, the five internal organs of a person, who is it, the King of Cao, the King of Yue?" Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan with an ugly expression.

"There are also Wu Chengsi, King Langya, there should be four people in the four seasons." Li Xuan sighed softly and said: "King Cao, King Yue, King Langya, and Wu Chengsi, although their cultivation is not high, But few people in the world can match the medicines I have taken over the years, and my cultivation level is not high, so it is easy to control.”

"King Cao died in September, four o'clock, which means someone else will die in December, King Yue, or King Langya?" Liu Jinyu immediately connected everything.

"I don't know." Li Xuan shook his head and said: "From the perspective of control, King Cao comes first, followed by King Langya, and after King Langya, he should be Wu Chengsi, in March next year, King Yue, and next June "As for the opening of the furnace, I'm afraid it will be in September next year."

"Feng Chan." Liu Jinyu raised his head, stared at Li Xuan, and said, "If this is the case, then the furnace will be opened before Feng Chan."

"In the second year of Linde's reign, His Majesty set out from Luoyang in October, arrived in Qizhou, and arrived at Mount Tai at the end of the month. In the first month of the first year of Qianfeng's reign, he worshiped God Haotian in Mount Tai."

Li Xuan sighed softly and said: "If it is normal, His Majesty will not return to Chang'an after his eastward tour next year. He will start the furnace in September, take elixirs for three months, and be enshrined in January next year." "In other words, Xia'er's He only has nine months to live." Liu Jinyu immediately clenched her fists tightly.

"This is normal." Li Xuan shook her head and said, "It's not that easy if everything goes smoothly. That's why His Majesty will allow three months to deal with the accident."

There are also mistakes in alchemy, and it is impossible to open the elixir directly in one furnace, so Xia'er's life has become precarious after September.

"And my husband was not in Chang'an at that time. King Cao died, King Yue died, King Langya died, and Wu Chengsi died. At that time, everything was peaceful." Liu Jinyu gritted his teeth.

"Don't worry, it won't come to that time." Li Xuan shook his head calmly. He had nine months, enough time for him to plan and arrange everything.

Hearing what Li Xuan said, Liu Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "What do you plan to do, husband?"

Li Xuan placed the medicine box on the medicine shelf, and then whispered: "Now that the prescription is clear, the person who owns the medicine will also know it. Naturally, those who help His Majesty refine the medicine will not be able to escape."

"Who?" Liu Jinyu looked ruthless. If possible, she would kill him right now.

"According to the imperial system, there are two masters of Chongxuan at the Lizheng Hall all the year round, narrating Taoist scriptures to His Majesty. Over the years, masters of Chongxuan have rotated, but there is only one person who has never changed."

Li Xuan sighed softly and said: "This person's surname is Zhong, which is the same as Zhong Liquan who founded Zhonglu's alchemy method, and he is also from Maoshan. Although he is not as famous as Pan Shizheng, it would be extraordinary if he is a descendant of Zhongliquan. "

"Where is this person?" Liu Jinyu looked cold.

"It should be hidden somewhere in Songshan Mountain." Li Xuan laughed at herself and said, "It's a pity that my husband has been in court for nearly two months, but he didn't realize that there was such a powerful person in Songshan Mountain, and he never knew about it. He was actually making elixirs right under my husband's nose."

"I'll arrange for someone to go check it out right now." Liu Jinyu couldn't help but turn around and leave. Li Xuan took her arm, shook her head and said, "My husband has already sent someone to check it out, and the one he used was not from the government." It's too easy for you to leave traces on the people here. Don't forget that there is a long history in the house now. "

"Chang Shi." Liu Jinyu's face was filled with disgust. She did not expect that such a chess piece like Li Zhaode would be inserted into Prince Peng's mansion and put them under control in every aspect.

"Li Changshi did a lot of things well." Li Xuan smiled, shook his head, and said: "He may not know the details. After all, he is also half of the clan. His Majesty cannot let the things inside. He knew that, nine times out of ten, it was the internal guards around him who did it.”

Among the secret guards, there are spies everywhere.

In this kind of matter, the only people the emperor can trust absolutely are the internal guards.

"So what should we do about Songshan?" Liu Jinyu calmed down and looked at Li Xuan.

"Find the alchemy place and destroy it." Li Xuan's eyes were cold, staring at his daughter's person, how could Li Xuan still let it exist.

"Yes!" Liu Jinyu nodded in agreement.

Someone can target Xia'er today, and tomorrow, someone can target their whole family.

"But how to destroy it? I'm afraid destroying it will attract His Majesty's attention immediately. During our time..." Liu Jinyu's face suddenly became worried.

"We have done a lot of things during this period." Li Xuan smiled, gently held Liu Jinyu in his arms, and then said: "So we have to stop our actions in the future. After all, there are still nine months left, and it won't be long." I am in a hurry, and if someone asks, I can think of it as my husband said before, and think that this is a test for my husband. "

Li Xuan raised her head, looked out the window, and said softly: "Your Majesty is the lord of the world. As ministers, we are naturally willing to dedicate everything to your Majesty, let alone extend your life. Moreover, Xia'er's matter, even in the end, Xia'er There is a high chance that my son will survive, but he will be seriously ill and weak in the future. I believe that Your Majesty will make up for it, so..."

After Li Xuan finished speaking, she lowered her head slightly and looked at Liu Jinyu.

Liu Jinyu looked straight at Li Xuan and asked, "Husband, you really don't think so?"

"Haha!" Li Xuan laughed in a low voice, and then said through gritted teeth: "No one can touch Xia'er, even if he is the emperor."

Liu Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief, leaned into Li Xuan's arms, and then said softly: "Husband, you should understand that once the Songshan matter is completed, what we have done will be equivalent to..."

"Regicide." Li Xuan's eyes were cold.

……

In the dead of night, Liu Jinyu leaned in Li Xuan's arms and asked in a low voice: "Husband, do you need me to do anything over there in Songshan? After you leave, if anything happens..."

Li Xuan took a deep breath and said thoughtfully: "It's best for my husband to do the things in Songshan alone. I try my best not to know about it and try not to get involved. But if there is an eventuality and everything fails, then I will suffer." In the late autumn, I got a bucket of ice water and let her soak in it overnight, and then I found a pill to take. "

"What medicine?" Liu Jinyu asked subconsciously.

"Cough medicine, as long as you are sick and your body is not in the best condition, you will not be able to get the medicine." Li Xuan looked at the darkness above his head and said softly: "The matter of Songshan is too important to your majesty. The means of being a husband, at least It can be delayed for half a year. If it fails, this medicine can also be delayed for half a month. With this time, it will be enough for my husband to come back by galloping. "

There was a trace of tears in Liu Jinyu's eyes. She knew that if this happened, it would mean that the couple were completely opposed to the emperor.

Their future life will definitely not be easy.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, Liu Jinyu suddenly looked at Li Xuan and said, "In other words, in the second half of next year, by the end of the year, your Majesty..."

"The end is coming."
