With magical powers, I can quietly meditate on sutras for hundreds of years and become an immortal.

Chapter 26 Border Army
  "Another doctor died?"

In the dark cell, a small stove was burning.

Li Zhen put down the chopsticks in his hand, looking a little weird.

If he remembered correctly.

Before and after, it only took a month.

He had heard the same thing from Xiao Chenzi more than once.

"Oh, who said it wasn't."

On the side, Li Zhen filled up the warm rice wine.

Xiao Chenzi said with some regret:

"This is the seventh time this month."

"The eldest prince is worried about His Majesty, and everyone knows his filial piety."

"It's just, this is how to do it, tsk tsk."

He shook his head, not daring to speak nonsense.

Li Zhen was equally speechless.

When did doctors become a high-risk profession in Dazhou?

But think about this for a moment.

Are these people really unable to cure the emperor's illness?
  Was he just beheaded?

Hard to say, hard to say.

Li Zhen took a sip of the wine in his glass and smacked his lips.

Savored it carefully.

It is indeed a fine wine.

One word, Run.

But somehow, it just lacks some flavor when I drink it.

Picking up a dish with chopsticks, he glanced at it from the corner of his eye.

He looked at Xiao Tatsuko who was respectful and professionally smiling next to him.

Li Zhen thought for a while.

Maybe it's because I'm missing an old friend who drank with me.

"Xiao Chunzi, I tasted the wine you didn't drink for you."

Pour the wine in the glass onto the ground.

Li Zhen lost his interest in talking.

In the future, Xiaochenzi would often take advantage of delivering meals.

Tell Li Zhen some news from outside.

Although it could reach his ears, he didn't know how long he was behind.

But for Li Zhen, it is still new.

"Daozhang Li, what are you going to eat today?"

It's not yet noon time.

In the cell, there were people joking with him.

At first, everyone thought Li Zhen had committed something serious.

In order not to cause trouble, no one wanted to talk to him.

But when they discovered that the popular person in front of Manager Wang in the past was Eunuch Xiaochen.

When everyone behaved respectfully in front of Li Zhen.

I knew in my heart that this person had a backing.

They are really in jail.

As for him being in jail, I'm afraid he just changed his place to live.

It won't take long before you can walk out intact.

In addition, Li Zhen is a kind person and will share some extra meals with them.

Gradually, the stool became familiar.

Thinking back to the recipe he told Xiao Chenzi yesterday, Li Zhen calmed down his energy and covered it with Na Qi Jue.

Taking a look at the figure in the cell opposite, with wild hair and beard covering his face, he joked:
  "The food I've been eating lately has been a bit greasy, so I need to eat something lighter today."

"As for your favorite roasted pig, I'm afraid it will have to be postponed until next month."

This guy with quite a rent-back style is called Lao Da.

It is said that this was not his original name.

It's just that I stayed in the dungeon of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for too long.

After a long time, he passed away batch after batch of passers-by and became the thorn in the dungeon.

Therefore, the guards gave him a big nickname.

bang.

"Lao Da, you are looking for a beating."

Xiaochenzi pushed open the dungeon door with a food box and spoke in a cold tone.

Lao Da shrank his neck and retreated to a dark corner.

Li Zhen didn't take this little thing to heart, and prepared to deal with today's lunch.

If it weren't for being too "dark" here.

After this small life, he didn't want to leave.

Five rice porridge, jade snail cake, jade pickles.

While tasting the light snacks on the table, a worried voice came from Xiao Tatsuko.

"Daozhang Li, tell me."

"If a war breaks out, will the capital be in danger?"    "Pfft~"

Li Zhen, who was eating porridge, almost didn't spit it out of his nose.

She patted her chest and looked at him up and down with strange eyes.

This kid, maybe he heard some rumors again.

"My great Zhou Dynasty is like a rainbow, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"There can be no disaster of weapons."

Xiaochenzi was doubtful.

The body is slightly tilted, and the expression on his face seems to say:

I don't read much, so don't lie to me.

If the people live and work in peace and contentment, how could he reach the stage of becoming an eunuch?

Li Zhen wiped his mouth to hide the embarrassment on his face.

Xindao had forgotten the identity of the boy in front of him. It was not easy to fool him.

"Even...even if there are some ambitious people who stir up disputes."

"Then our Zhou Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops are not just decorations."

"You, just rest assured, it will definitely be fine."

Shaking his hands, Li Zhen lowered his head to deal with the food.

The king of Huainan and others fought and fought and made trouble.

But it's all to blame for the fact that the emperor laid too strong a foundation when he was in power and worked hard to govern.

Although, the current emperor has been out of government affairs for several years.

But this week, there really can't be any chaos for a while.

"But."

Xiao Chenzi had a strange look on his face and said in a faint tone:
  "However, an urgent report came from Longxi Road a few days ago."

"The Tianshui army stationed on the border mutinied on a large scale because the imperial court had not been able to respond for three years."

"Under the leadership of the generals of the army, we are marching to the capital, saying that we want to eliminate the traitors around His Majesty and seek justice for the soldiers."

pat.

The chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground.

Li Zhen opened his mouth wide and stared at the innocent-looking Xiao Chenzi.

There is some resentment in the eyes.

Can’t you finish your speech in one go?

He, Li Zhen, doesn’t want to lose face.

My mood gradually calmed down.

Then, under the somewhat anxious gaze of Xiao Chenzi.

Pick up the chopsticks that fell on the ground one by one and put them gently on the table.

He clasped his fists, arched his hands in the direction of the palace, and said:
  "As long as your majesty is fine, everything will be fine."

Hearing this, Xiao Chenzi's eyes concealed a hint of disappointment that was spreading inadvertently.

As if being enlightened by Li Zhen, he quickly agreed:

"Yeah yeah."

"As long as His Majesty gets better, everything will be worry-free."

In the dungeon, send Xiao Chenzi away.

Li Zhen's porridge nourishes the stomach.

The inner residence of the royal palace.

King Huainan smashed down the rosary beads he used to meditate, and was furious.

"Zhao Laoer, Zhao Laoer!"

"You are so courageous that you dare to mobilize the border troops to enter the pass without permission from your father."

The second prince was originally the spokesperson of the army.

With the emperor's illness lasting a long time.

When the situation is getting closer to the eldest prince and the third prince.

He decisively transferred the only support in his hands: the army to the capital under the pretext.

Prepare to fight to the death.

If he succeeds, he will ascend the throne and become emperor.

Even if they are defeated, they have the support of the army.

He can also retreat calmly, separate one side, and make plans again.

In this way, King Huainan did not hesitate to give up the good situation achieved by his reputation.

Suddenly, there were signs of collapse.

How can this keep him from getting angry!
  "Army, Empress Yang's brother Yang Guofu has a forbidden army in the palace, which can be won over."

"But relying on him alone is not enough, we need more trump cards!"

King Huainan paced back and forth in the hall.

It was quiet all around, and no one dared to disturb him at this time.

Suddenly, a light flashed.

"Have it!"

He exclaimed, then laughed.

"Come here, take a ride on Xianming Mountain!"
