After the house was confiscated, I relied on billions of dollars in supplies to become a group favor

The scent of incense from the Western Regions around him became stronger and stronger, barely covering up the emperor's illness.

He coughed several times, raised his hand to summon the personal eunuch who was waiting at the side, and asked: "Ahem... is the Imperial Master here?"

Before he finished speaking, there was already a steady sound of footsteps coming from outside, and the imperial advisor whom the emperor was thinking about had walked in quickly accompanied by Eunuch Chen.

At that time, the emperor was greedy for wine and sex, and his health was not good. The court under his rule was turbulent, but he was also superstitious. In the palace, a fortune-telling pavilion headed by a national master was specially enshrined to detect astronomical phenomena and seek good fortune for him. .

After being seriously ill in the past few days and approaching the end of his life, the emperor lay on the bed and drank round after round of medicine. The imperial doctors looked at him almost over and over again, but there was no significant improvement.

The emperor once again began to pin his hopes of extending his life on the illusory and mysterious heavenly book, and ordered his people to summon the imperial master.

The old Imperial Master was already over seventy years old, but he was still full of energy. He had an old face and a long gray beard hanging down from his chin. He really looked like a fairy.

He stepped smoothly onto the threshold of the palace door and walked steadily to the dragon couch. With his eagle eyes shining brightly, he respectfully called out in a hoarse old voice: "Your Majesty, I am here."

The emperor weakly raised an arm and waved towards Eunuch Chen beside him. No need to say anything else. Eunuch Chen, who had served the emperor for many years, had already led the large group of palace eunuchs and eunuchs around him quietly. The ground retreated.

The surroundings became quieter and quieter, and the emperor closed his eyes deeply. The small movement just now made his seriously ill and weak body feel tired. He took a long breath and looked at the old Imperial Master who was waiting respectfully aside.

"National Master...I...how long do you think I can live?"

The emperor's frail and weathered face revealed a bit of greed, and he spoke out the question in a breathless and unwilling voice.

Of course, the old Imperial Master could also see that the emperor was seriously ill and weak, but with Long Wei in front, he could not tell the truth. He slowly bowed respectfully and responded respectfully: "Your Majesty is the destined emperor, with a dragon body." If everything is perfect, I will wish you long life and blessings for eternity."

"Good good!"

These two sentences were obviously just for flattery, but coming from the mouth of the old imperial master made the emperor, who was superstitious about mysticism and destiny, feel a little more at ease.

As soon as the emperor's mood became happy, the congestion in his throat surged up. He coughed heavily several times and managed to calm down.

He covered his mouth and coughed a few times, then stared at the old Imperial Master with a pair of bloodshot eyes and asked for help: "But I have grown older and my body is not as good as before. I'm afraid Fuze Baishi's heart is broken." There is more than enough but not enough strength. Therefore, when I saw the Imperial Master calling me, I wanted to hear what the Imperial Master could do to prolong my life."

The old Imperial Master calmly raised his hand and stroked his long white beard, "Your Majesty, life is determined by destiny. Generally speaking, it cannot be changed by oneself..."

After he finished speaking, the emperor's face suddenly darkened.

The old Imperial Master then slowly said: "However, Your Majesty is not an ordinary person, but the destined emperor. If you do good deeds, do a great deed, and go on stage to pray, you will be able to bless the world and let God bring blessings." Come, help your majesty live longer and be blessed for centuries. As recorded in ancient books, the emperor of the Meng Dynasty a hundred years ago was blessed for many generations by this, and it was also a blessing from heaven..."

Knowing from the Imperial Preceptor that he still had a chance to extend his life, the originally weak and languid Emperor immediately showed a look of great surprise and hurriedly asked: "A great good deed?! Can I trouble the Imperial Preceptor to explain it carefully?" What should I do?"

His life was almost hanging in front of the gate of hell, with one leg on the road to hell. Naturally, he hoped that there would be a way to save him, and he already regarded the words of the Imperial Master as the last life-saving straw. "In the opinion of the veteran, first of all, there have been many droughts and floods this year. Your Majesty should open warehouses to stockpile grain and give to poor people everywhere. Saving a life is a great merit. Doing good deeds accumulates merit. Secondly, There are many jails this year. Your Majesty should grant amnesty to the whole world and practice kindness..."

The old imperial master grasped the measure of the emperor's heart and spoke cautiously and carefully. Every sentence emphasized the importance of accumulating virtue and blessings for the emperor himself.

Under current circumstances, the emperor would not think too much at all, he only wanted to extend his life and enjoy a few more glorious days in the Dragon Throne.

After being seriously ill and bedridden for the past few days, all he wanted was to survive.

The emperor struggled to muster up [-]% of his energy and wrote down every word spoken by the old Imperial Master. After a long while, he waved his hand and hurriedly ordered: "I understand. Imperial Master will leave first." Rest and let Eunuch Chen come in."

He must promulgate the imperial edict as soon as possible, follow the instructions of the Imperial Preceptor one by one, do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and then let the Imperial Preceptor hold a grand blessing ceremony, which will surely bring blessings from heaven!

Everything was within the plan of the Imperial Preceptor. He quietly noticed the changes in the emperor's expression, silently agreed, and exited the palace unhurriedly.

The emperor's personal eunuch, Mr. Chen, was anxiously hovering at the gate of the palace. He did not dare to enter without the emperor's order to check. When he saw the imperial master coming out, he hurriedly greeted him respectfully.

Before Eunuch Chen could ask, the old Imperial Master calmly stroked his long white beard and said, "Eunuch Chen, Your Majesty asked you to come in and serve as soon as possible. I will leave first."

Eunuch Chen did not dare to delay and quickly turned around and entered the hall.

The old Imperial Master walked to the outer hall and happened to see the fifth prince who was waiting outside and was particularly filial. The two just looked at each other and said nothing.

"His Royal Highness Fifth Prince."

The old Imperial Master had long expected to meet him here, and he called him politely and respectfully, with his eyes lowered and his attitude revealing a distance and politeness.

"Mr. Imperial Master, do you know if my father's condition has improved?" The fifth prince asked humbly and politely with a gentle smile on his handsome and elegant face.

The old imperial master knew that what the fifth prince asked was not just superficial. He paused slightly and replied decisively: "Everything is fine, your highness can rest assured."

He has already completed what the fifth prince told him, and everything is in their plan.

Now, all you need to do is wait for the good news, and there is no need for His Highness the Fifth Prince to do more unnecessary things to avoid missing things.

Hearing the old Imperial Master's confident words, the smile on the gentle face of the fifth prince deepened a little, and a smile appeared in his calm eyes, and he said lightly: "Okay, then I can rest assured. Father will not let you go today." When we go into the palace to take care of you, I am always worried about everything and bothering the Imperial Master."

If an outsider saw or heard the conversation between them, they would only sigh with emotion at the fifth prince's filial piety, and would not be able to hear any other meaning. (End of chapter)
