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

Chapter 728 Two-person chess game, the whole world

Li Xuan was dressed in a black robe with gold threads and walked into the Penglai Hall under the soft candlelight with a solemn expression.

Seeing Li Zhi and Empress Wu playing chess, Li Xuan walked to the center of the hall and stood, cupping his hands and saying softly: "Li Xuan, the young minister of Honglu Temple, has met Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven."

Li Zhi casually placed a black stone, and Empress Wu immediately frowned, looking at the chessboard in deep thought.

Looking back, Li Zhi looked at Li Xuan, with a smile on his face, nodded, and said with satisfaction: "27 Lang, you did a good job today."

"It's the job of the minister to inspect the enemy's secret work. Your Majesty praises it absurdly." Although Li Xuan's tone was still cautious, as he bowed slightly, his face couldn't help showing a hint of joy.

When Li Zhi saw it, he couldn't help but feel amused, and then he said: "Zhou Zhi Baiying, once killed and captured, blocked Tubo's eyeliner from spying on Chang'an, and left behind the eradication of Wanxiang Pavilion, and then investigated Qinxiangyuan and captured him. A large number of rebellious officials and thieves, before the war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, eradicated such a malignant tumor, and made great contributions to the country."

"I don't dare to take the credit. It's just that your Majesty, will you be too involved this time? In case the army fights on the front line, the rear..." Li Xuan showed a trace of caution on his face, and said earnestly: "Back then, Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo for the second time. However, Yang Xuangan's generation intercepted the transportation of grain and grass, resulting in the defeat of the Eastern Expedition, and I was worried..."

"Don't worry, I'm not Yang Guang, and I'm not in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Even if someone wants to cause chaos, they won't be able to." Li Zhi's eyes showed a killing intent, and he said softly: "Now I don't Go to the front line, the back road, I will help you watch over it."

"Your Majesty is wise, it's because I'm worrying too much." Li Xuan immediately cupped her hands and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tell me about that person." Li Zhi looked at Li Xuan again, and asked curiously: "I heard that you have marked him, tell me, how did you mark him."

"It's medicine." Li Xuan collected her thoughts and said seriously: "I have a medicine that is used to treat chronic insomnia. Once you take the medicine, you will fall asleep in just half a quarter of an hour. I was also the same at first. I wanted to capture that person alive, but unfortunately, that person slashed his thigh, forced himself to stay awake, and then escaped from Qinxiang Garden."

At this time, Empress Wu looked up a little funny, looked at Li Xuan and said, "So you used medicine, but why did I hear people say that you used poison?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Queen of Heaven, whether it is medicine or poison is actually only a matter of thought." Li Xuan turned around, cupped her hands, sighed softly, and said: "There is a way, medicine is three parts poison, and poison is three parts medicine, just look at it." how to use.

The medicine of the minister, if you follow it, just follow it, you will be refreshed and refreshed when you wake up, and your energy will be clear, and you will get twice the result with half the effort..."

"Is there such a medicine?" Empress Wu looked at Li Xuan and said directly, "Then you can directly present one."

"I obey the order." Li Xuan hurriedly took the order, and then said: "The minister will send this medicine to the Shangyao Bureau, and the imperial physicians of the Shangyao Bureau will determine the dosage..."

"I almost forgot. You are the one who is adjudicating medicine. This is your job." Empress Wu shook her head amusedly, waved her hand, and said, "Just do as you say."

"Here!" Li Xuan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

"Continue to talk about medication." Li Zhi raised his hand gently.

"Here!" Li Xuan looked solemnly, and then said in a deep voice: "Medicine, especially medicine for curing diseases, is especially irresistible; the medicine of the minister, if you follow it, will greatly benefit the body, the amount is enough, and you can sleep directly Six hours..."

Empress Wu frowned, with a surprised expression on her face.

Li Xuan continued: "That person's medicine is already overdose, if he falls asleep immediately, everything will be fine, but he shouldn't forcibly resist sleep.

In this way, after half a quarter of an hour, the medicine will not be able to exert its effect, and it will accumulate in the body, and if it cannot be eliminated in time, it will burn violently.

From the medicine of extreme cold to the medicine of extreme yang hyperactivity..."

"Excited?" Empress Wu immediately caught the important words in Li Xuan's words.

"It's nothing, just a night without sleep." Li Xuan took a deep breath, and then said cautiously: "If the mind is stable and the medicine is taken in time, this hyperactivity can be relieved at any time. The medicine of the minister is, after all, a medicine, not a poison. .”

"But the antidote is your exclusive medicine." Li Zhi suddenly saw through the secret hidden in Li Xuan's words.

"That's not the case, it's just that one of the medicines is very necessary. The minister has ordered Jinwuwei and Qianniuwei to go to various medicine shops in Chang'an to check the sales records of this medicine tonight. If someone really buys it, Jinwuwei He and Qianniuwei will follow up immediately..."

"But that man will never use it. It's just a state of hyperactivity and insomnia, and it will pass after a while." Empress Wu sneered and said, "But he doesn't know at all that your medicine is just the beginning now."

Li Zhi nodded slightly, then looked at Li Xuan, and asked, "Is what the queen said right?"

"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded heavily, and then continued to cup his hands and said, "The medicine of the minister, the yin and yang cycle is very urgent, if you don't sleep all night, the next day, the power of the medicine fades, and the power of sleepiness will explode several times and tens of times. Therefore, tomorrow, as long as there is a certain servant who should not ask for leave but asks for leave, he can proceed to investigate."

"He must not know what tomorrow will look like now, so the sudden request for leave tomorrow must be eye-catching." Li Zhi nodded and said: "Although there are not many people who ask for leave tomorrow, they can really be taken seriously, and at the same time very abrupt people, absolutely There are not many, as long as we investigate one by one, it will be clear at a glance who is sleeping to death."

"Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to send the imperial physician to the minister's home tomorrow to deliver the medicine." Li Xuan then sent up the excuse of the investigation.

Li Zhi nodded, sighed softly, and said: "That's it, I also want to see, who is that person who has been plotting against me for many years?"

Li Xuan lowered her head slightly, but her heart jumped up quickly.Sure enough, the emperor knew about the existence of that person a long time ago, and launched an investigation a long time ago, but unfortunately, he only found out that the person's status in the court was not low, but he couldn't find out who it was.

The hall of Penglai fell into silence for a moment. At this moment, Empress Wu said: "If that person still forces himself to stay awake tomorrow and force himself to be on duty, so what?"

"That man...he will be sick." Li Xuan gently said the word "sickness" instead of the word "death".

Seeing Empress Wu and the emperor looking over at the same time, Li Xuan continued: "If that person is still awake forcibly tomorrow, the medicine used by the minister will immediately turn into a medicine for tigers and wolves, and the medicine that originally burned and exploded will turn into a medicine that burns and explodes." The poison immediately enters the liver..."

Taking a deep breath, Li Xuan continued: "Originally, if you force yourself to stay up all night and go to sleep the next day, you will fall into a coma for twelve hours, and after you wake up, your whole body will be exhausted and you will feel weak for a few days; but If you stay up forcibly, the poison will enter the liver. If you detoxify it in time, you will feel uncomfortable for up to half a month. But if you cannot detoxify it in time, you will feel dizzy in one day, ringing in the ears and dazzled in five days. , blind and deaf.”

Blind and deaf, Li Zhi and Empress Wu suddenly showed horror on their faces.

In just five days, people have changed from being inadvertently lethargic and struggling to become blind, deaf, and disabled. It is really terrifying.

"At this point, is there still salvation?" Empress Wu couldn't help asking.

Li Xuan said solemnly: "If within five days, I will be recuperated by myself, it will take half a year, and most of my body will recover. It's hard to say whether it's Master or Sun Sheng, or whether there is a thread."

"There are only two generations of medicine kings alive in the world today, who can cure your poison." Li Zhi sighed lightly, and said, "27 Lang, if you only look at it from this aspect, you may be called the new generation of medicine kings." ”

"Your Majesty, in the world, there are countless people who have their own unique aspects of medicine and medicine. I can't even count it as one of them. It's just a repetition of people's hearts. If the person does not go against the principles of heaven and earth, the medicine of the minister will not be able to play the slightest role. .”

Li Xuan said seriously: "I am a doctor after all, not a poison."

Li Zhi nodded, sighed and said: "I can tell that you have given us many opportunities, but unfortunately, his ambition cannot be saved."

Empress Wu immediately said: "In this way, in the past few days, the King of Nanchang has returned to Shang Yao Bureau and ordered Tai Hospital to monitor the use of relevant medicines."

"I obey the order." Li Xuan immediately handed over his hand and said: "I will keep the medicine and the solution used by me in Shang Pharmacy and Taiyuan Hospital, so that no one will take the medicine by mistake in the future. Furthermore, if someone accidentally takes the medicine because of It is difficult to fall asleep for various reasons, but my medicine can also be effective in curing the disease."

Li Zhi smiled gently, and said with satisfaction: "27 Langguo is a caring person."

"This is the duty of a minister." Li Xuan looked extremely sincere, and at the same time bowed slightly
Li Zhi turned his head to look at Empress Wu, and said softly: "In this way, even if he wants to hide, that person may not be able to hide."

"However, Your Majesty, it is good to punish him alone in this matter, and it is not appropriate to get involved too much." Empress Wu's face became serious.

Li Zhi thought about it for a moment, then turned to look at Li Xuan: "Mr. 27, what do you think?"

"What the Queen said is absolutely true." Li Xuan said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, this case has gradually approached the core. Once the identity of that person is exposed, the person behind it will be implicated immediately.

At that time, it may not be one or two people who are charged with the most crimes, and the people implicated here may not all be traitors, they just took advantage of the traitors. "

"I understand that those people are just people who don't even care about treason." A sneer appeared on Li Zhi's face, and then he said solemnly: "Investigate first, find out that person, verify the evidence of the crime, and then see what can be avoided. People, who should be spared, this matter will eventually have a result, and some claws that stick out must be completely cut off."

"Here!" Li Xuan bowed immediately, he finally had a bottom line on this matter.

"Okay, Mr. 27, please step aside and go home and have a good rest. Tomorrow, all the fun will come on stage." Li Zhi waved his hand directly.

Li Xuan immediately cupped his hands and said: "I accept the order! I will resign!"

Li Xuan bowed and stepped back slowly.

Seeing the back of Li Xuan leaving, Li Zhi looked behind the curtain on one side: "Mingqing!"

"I'm here!" Ming Chongyan immediately walked out from behind the curtain, flicked his fly whisk, and bowed his head to obey the order.

Li Zhi said coldly: "Look at him, don't arrest people so quickly."

"Here!" Ming Chongyan bowed, and then retreated slightly.

In the Penglai Palace, only Empress Wu sat opposite the emperor.

The chess game between the two is like the whole world.
