Quickly wear it and insist on being an old man forever

After half a stick of incense, the imperial doctor Wang Chenhui entered the palace. Since he had received the instructions from the eunuch Wang De in advance, he gave him a slight bow and said bluntly without waiting for Li Shimin to ask:

"I report to Your Majesty that I am incompetent and I don't know how the Emperor recovered. However, the Emperor's current pulse is indeed strong and strong, without any signs of superficiality and abruptness, and it lasts for a long time, which is a blessing for longevity."

His words were actually equivalent to a subtle expression that the Supreme Emperor was not returning to his former glory and sacrificing his health.

If nothing else, he should live for a long time.

It was certainly impossible for Li Shimin to show dissatisfaction at this time. He could only nod slightly and said happily:

"I am also pleased that my father is in good health. Wang Qing, you don't have to be too humble. If you hadn't carefully taken care of and treated me, my father might not be able to enjoy the blessings he has now. But I think about it, nothing happens without a reason in the world, so I still It is necessary to carefully check the prescription and pulse to clarify the truth about my father's recovery.

If only we could come up with an effective secret recipe.

It is also a blessing to the people of the world and a virtue of doctors! "

In short, it means the same thing. Li Shimin doesn't believe that his father suddenly recovered on his own. He must have taken some medicine or did something else secretly to recover, so he must investigate carefully.

Because the situation now is very clear, that is, his father may still be hiding something from him, or he may be able to do something secretly under his close surveillance.

Even if he is exposed now to save his own life.

That is also a hidden danger and must be clarified.

"Promise, I will try my best..." Doctor Wang did not dare to refuse, so he could only accept it first. As for whether it can be done, let's wait and see. Anyway, the current saints generally do not kill people for the sake of their benevolent reputation. The worst is to be demoted.

Afterwards, Imperial Physician Wang bowed and retired, and Wang De was summoned. Li Shimin whispered a few secret instructions to him, then sent him away to Da'an Palace for careful investigation.

In fact, Li Shimin is quite vindictive. The Da'an Palace where Li Yuan lives now is the palace where Li Yuan asked him to move out of the Taiji Palace and Chengqian Palace. The overall environment is poor, at least much worse than the Taiji Palace, and it is a bit dark and damp. A few years ago, a minister submitted a memorial to Li Shimin, pointing out that he was unfilial and asked the emperor to live in such a palace for his retirement.

Then Li Shimin began to build the Daming Palace.

It's just that it hasn't been fixed yet.

It turns out that Li Yuan did not live in the new palace until his death.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan was very kind to his three sons and none of them moved out of the palace. The prince Li Jiancheng lived in the East Palace, the second son Li Shimin lived in the Chengqian Palace, the fourth son Li Yuanji lived in the Wude Palace, and all three legitimate sons lived in the East Palace. Living in Tai Chi Palace, also known as the Royal Palace.

It was not until Li Yuan later became more inclined to support Prince Li Jiancheng and suppress the King of Qin Li Shimin that he was allowed to move out of the Chengqian Hall of the Taiji Palace and move to the newly built Hongyi Palace in the fifth year of Wude. In fact, Li Yuan had basically made it clear that year In addition, he supported his eldest son, Li Jiancheng, to succeed to the throne, but he was reluctant to take action against Li Shimin, and hoped that they could live in harmony in the future.

And Li Shimin truly deserves to be Li Yuan's biological son.

First he resented his father, and then he became his father.

The operations he did on his eldest son Li Chengqian and his second son Li Tai in his later years were no different from his father's. The only difference was that his two sons were not as powerful and courageous as he was, and they did not cause the Xuanwu Sect incident.

Three years after the Xuanwumen Incident, that is, the third year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin's position was completely consolidated, and Li Yuan was forced to leave Taiji Palace and move to Hongyi Palace to enjoy his old age.

And the name of the palace was changed to Da'an Palace.

It was such a blessing in heaven that the two of them changed their minds.

At the same time, Bai Sheng was practicing the 28th set of basic body-building techniques in Da'an Palace, not only to exercise the body, treat diseases, and prolong life, but also to strengthen the body and improve strength. When she was temporarily unable to cultivate her power, she could only Improve your own strength.

Fortunately, in the last world, the basic body-building technique, which has been updated to the 28th generation, can basically adapt to the vast majority of ordinary humans in ordinary worlds, provided there are sufficient resources and the use of special secret medicines.

Breaking through the innate is not a problem.

When the time comes, it will undoubtedly be more convenient to do something, and even if it is impossible, you can still kidnap Li Shimin, which is no more confident than simply being old and frail.

But in order to avoid being too eye-catching or acting too magical, Li Shimin was wary.

Bai Sheng did not dare to practice hard.

Just practice a little bit before eating every day.

There is no way, no matter how good the basic physical training technique is, it must follow the law of conservation of energy. It is impossible not to eat or drink, and the qi, blood and internal strength will increase crazily. Refining Qi, or practicing in the acquired realm, depends on eating. The better you eat on a daily basis, the faster you will practice. But Bai Sheng, the Supreme Emperor, is now being controlled, or watched, about his daily food and drink. He only has to roast a whole cow every day, and also needs several kilograms of ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and deer antlers, which is completely unrealistic.

It's not that Li Shimin can't afford it.

If Bai Sheng was completely shameless and asked for these things in a reckless manner, Li Shimin would really not be able to refuse them.

But after giving them, Li Shimin discovered that Bai Sheng could eat all these things. He knew something was wrong, and even a sudden attack would be impossible.

In order to keep a low profile and not be too obtrusive, Bai Sheng, except for being too hungry when he first woke up, asked for a roasted whole lamb before it arrived. Later, he returned to his normal diet, or in other words, gradually increased his food intake after returning to his normal diet. If you have nothing to do, eat more snacks, order more nourishing soups, eat small meals frequently, and try to stuff something into your stomach.

To speed up your cultivation.

Sometimes, it’s really sad to think about it.

Theoretically speaking, the identity of this body should be the highest among all the worlds she has experienced, but it is also the worst. Even when she was an old lady in the countryside, she still had thousands of dollars in her hands. With an asset of 10,000 yuan, you can eat whatever you want.

No wonder the emperors of all dynasties wanted to hold on to power until their death. This was true for their own sons. If their own sons had not seized power, they would have died long ago without a burial place.

Of course, he was heartbroken and had to live his life normally. At the same time, Bai Sheng quickly thought of an alternative way to obtain more cultivation resources, which was to directly send someone to notify Li Shimin and tell him that he wanted to practice immortality and alchemy.

Ask him to send some medicinal materials for the alchemy furnace.

At the same time, in order to rationalize his idea of ​​cultivating immortals and refining elixirs, and to make up for the big loophole in his sudden recovery of health, Bai Sheng also revealed that he took the golden elixir given to him by an old Taoist decades ago. , the body suddenly returned to health.

Doesn’t the logic behind it now make sense?

Li Shimin didn't know about the golden elixir given to him by an old Taoist decades ago. It was reasonable. At the same time, when moving out of Taiji Palace, Li Shimin couldn't have carefully checked everything and looked through it to bring out the golden elixir. Tai Chi Palace is also quite normal.

Immediately afterwards, I felt like I was about to die. All the imperial doctors were useless. I just knew that the ministers were incompetent, so I couldn't be a dead horse and become a living horse doctor. I tried all kinds of methods.

Unexpectedly, the golden elixir worked.

As the body regains its health and becomes active again, it is more logical to want to try practicing immortality and alchemy!

……

Tai Chi Palace, inside the Liang Yi Palace.

After listening to Wang De's reply and reading the list of immortality and alchemy requirements just sent by the Supreme Emperor, Li Shimin couldn't help but fell into deep thought. He was now a little unsure of what his father said and what he did was true or false. Yes, to be honest, at least the current reality and what his father had done were indeed logical.

But to be honest, it is indeed outrageous. Is there really a golden elixir in this world that can treat late-stage wind disease?

He has never heard his father say this.

"That's all. Prepare the things according to the requirements in this list and send them to the Supreme Emperor tomorrow."

It was only in the past two years that the relationship between him and his father had barely eased. There was really no need to quarrel over such a trivial matter. As he got older, he had to coax him. After all, he could still live peacefully in cultivating immortals and refining elixirs. As long as he doesn't want to be restored to the throne, he will always be his good father.

So despite being entangled, Li Shimin finally ordered Wang De to prepare supplies for his father according to the order.

"promise!"

In response, Wang De retreated to prepare.

Whether it is an alchemy furnace or medicinal materials, they are all ready-made in the palace. After all, they regard Taishang Taoist as their ancestor, so it is impossible not to prepare some Taoist utensils, and they must be as exquisite as they come, so early the next morning , Wang De prepared all the things Bai Sheng wanted, sent them to Da'an Palace and put them in place.

In addition, many Taoist priests were sent there.

They are all Taoist priests who say they can make alchemy. After all, the Supreme Emperor has never been exposed to alchemy and immortality before, so I would like to send a few experienced ones there so that we can exchange experiences.

The most important thing is that the Supreme Emperor cannot be allowed to make elixirs and cultivate immortality on his own, and don't turn around and poison himself to death.

It can be seen that Li Shimin is quite considerate.

It doesn't matter if you die from illness, but it doesn't matter if you are poisoned.

After receiving the things and the Taoist priests, Bai Sheng thought that he could not let these Taoist priests live in his place and deceive them, so he specially conducted an assessment on them, who knew medical skills, knew medicinal materials and could handle them. Come down, the others have retreated.

Because these Taoist priests can at least help him a little when refining elixirs and medicines, so they are not useless.

There are only those who can only chant sutras and perform small tricks.

Isn’t it a waste of food to keep it?

In the end, only three passed the assessment, and Bai Sheng only kept these three. Then of course he sent Wang De away, and took the three Taoist priests to start sorting out the medicinal materials and instructing them on what to do next!

Generally speaking, Baisheng is very satisfied with the current development.

At least his idea came to fruition.

As long as these medicinal materials can be continuously delivered, I believe it won't be long before he can rely on the supplements of these medicinal materials to quickly break through the innate realm. If the quantity of medicinal materials is large enough and the quality is good enough, he can also reach the Grand Master realm. Extravagant hope.

As for the heavenly beings, there is no good solution for the time being. Even in the previous world, after the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had exhausted to a certain extent, if you wanted to break through the realm of heaven and man normally, you would still need the assistance of a lot of technological equipment. Those technological equipment were barely made after nearly four hundred years of climbing the martial arts technology tree. Even if Bai Sheng knew how to make them, and even the principles, it would be difficult to make them without the support of basic industry.

Even to put it in a bad way, it would take two hundred years to build it with the cooperation of the whole country.

In addition, the quality of many raw materials in this world, including medicinal materials, is actually not as good as that in the martial arts world. Therefore, Bai Sheng does not dare to hope for the realm of heaven and man for the time being. His small goal is to break through innateness and have the power to protect himself.

Then just take your time and see who can survive.

As long as you don't die, you can always seize the opportunity to come forward.

Anyway, Li Shimin's lifespan was not long.

Bai Sheng's plan was going smoothly, but Li Shimin's side was not particularly peaceful, because Wei Zheng began to admonish him at the court meeting early the next morning.

First, the example of Qin Shihuang was cited, and then the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was cited, as well as other examples of people who took elixirs for seeking immortality and became mediocre in their later years, eating themselves to death, or causing serious harm. Li Shimin was actually a little angry at first, but then he thought about it. It was not him who did the immortality and alchemy, but his father. He just prepared some raw materials for his father. It was filial piety. What crime was there?

This time it was time to counterattack Wei Zheng.

Let go of the depression I felt in previous years.

So it was rare that he was not in a hurry at all, and even sat there with a gentle expression on his face, slowly listening to Wei Zheng's advice.

When Wei Zheng's mouth went dry and he was a little surprised that the emperor neither admitted his mistake nor refuted today, Li Shimin chuckled and said slowly:

"Wei Qing is afraid that he has misunderstood.

I have always believed that gods and immortals are inherently illusory, have empty names, and are bound to have an end in their lives. So how can you ask gods and immortals? What you are talking about should be that yesterday I sent people to collect various medicinal materials for alchemy, and even invited many Taoist priests from several Taoist temples in Chang'an.

Those are not what I want.

It's what the Supreme Emperor wants.

The Supreme Emperor was seriously ill a few days ago. I think you all know that. Even the imperial doctors thought that the Supreme Emperor might not have much time left, so preparations should be made early. However, the Supreme Emperor himself hid a gold coin that was given to him by an unknown wandering Taoist priest decades ago. The golden elixir, and the dead horse treated the dead horse as a living horse doctor and ate the golden elixir, and then recovered to health.

Therefore, the Supreme Emperor felt that there should be immortals in this world, and they also had the art of refining elixirs. He even felt that the golden elixir that saved his life was actually an elixir.

Therefore, I specially sent someone to inform me yesterday.

Let me prepare those things for him.

Let’s not mention the difficulty of my father’s life. My father really relies on the golden elixir to survive. Now that I want to try to practice, I can’t refuse. After all, I have already eaten the only golden elixir. If I refuse, my father will not be able to survive next time. If something goes wrong again, which imperial physician can help?

Then everything will be my fault.

But I also know that my father may not be particularly knowledgeable, so I went to various Taoist temples and invited some Taoist priests who are good at alchemy to avoid making mistakes. "

These words can be said to be reasonable and well-founded.

Wei Zheng was blocked directly.

Regardless of whether the Supreme Emperor can refine the life-saving golden elixir on his own, but you have to stop the Supreme Emperor from refining it. If the Supreme Emperor is sick and no one treats him, and there is no golden elixir to eat, it will be your fault. But if you didn't stop it and gave your full support , the Supreme Emperor himself did not refine it.

It's a matter of destiny.

Wei Zheng originally wanted to use Ayi to obey and trap his relatives in unrighteousness. This was because he was unfilial, that is, he blindly obeyed and did not persuade his parents when he saw their faults. To make them fall into unrighteousness was not filial, but unfilial and continued to exhort them.

But now it involves the life of the Supreme Emperor, and who should be blamed if the Supreme Emperor falls ill again and there is no cure.

His unfilial remarks were inappropriate.

In the end, he could only insist that even so, His Majesty should seek medical advice for the Supreme Emperor, and even look for the unknown Taoist priest, instead of allowing the Supreme Emperor to practice immortality and elixir on his own, which would affect his reputation in history books and be mistaken for being stupid. And barely ended.

Li Shimin was too lazy to argue with him. After all, he couldn't argue with Gang Jing. After settling the matter perfunctorily, he continued with the normal court process.

After the court meeting was over, he returned to the harem and proudly told Queen Changsun what would happen in the next court meeting:

"Today I finally let that old man Wei Zheng suffer a little bit. You don't know, when Wei Zheng said that he asked me to find a doctor for the Supreme Emperor, the people in the Supreme Hospital wanted to kill him alive. After all, what he said , it’s just a matter of directly pointing out that the hospital’s medical skills are not good enough!”

"Hahahaha, I have a good temper. If my father were still in power, this old man would have been killed long ago."

"Erlang, is it really okay if you just let your father practice immortality and elixirs like this? Even if the golden elixir that my father obtained can cure his disease, it is even really a golden elixir.

But it doesn't mean that my father can refine golden elixirs by himself. If he just refines some non-toxic and harmless things that can be eaten as food, that's it. But if he refines some poisonous elixirs... ...I think Wei Zheng's suggestion is right. It would be more reliable to try to find Sun Simiao, or to try to find the unknown Taoist priest my father mentioned! "

Empress Changsun lived up to her reputation as a wise empress. She did not blindly flatter Li Shimin at this time, but after careful consideration, she gave a more pertinent and reasonable suggestion.

"How could I not have thought that my father might not be able to refine the golden elixir, but would also refine some poisonous elixirs, so why didn't I specially find some Taoist priests to come over? With them watching, there shouldn't be any problems. As for Sun Simiao and the nameless one, Taoist priest, it's so easy to find, but it would be even more inappropriate to search for it in a big way, so just let it happen."

Whether he is looking for a doctor in a big way or a Taoist priest in a big way, in Li Shimin's opinion, it is not the behavior of a wise king. After he experienced the Xuanwu Sect change and stabilized his throne, he has been working hard to restrain his nature. Move towards Mingjun.

I just hope that I can leave a good name behind me in the future.

Not to mention that he only knows how to kill brothers and brothers.

Therefore, he was naturally unwilling to take some measures that were not in line with the traditional sense of a wise king. He provided his father with elixir-making materials, and others scolded his father. At most, he was said to be foolish and filial, which was harmless.

Let’s talk about some darker thoughts. The less wise his father behaves, the more his previous actions will be cleared up, making people think that his rise to power is a good thing.

If the Supreme Emperor had not abdicated, he would have become so mediocre and the world would have been harmed!

"Then I'll go see my father tomorrow and take Cheng Qian and the others to see him. Speaking of which, we haven't visited him since he recovered. We just happened to give it a try. Can you please advise him? He shouldn’t make elixirs anymore.”

During the period when the relationship between Li Shimin and Li Yuan was the most tense, it was entirely up to Empress Changsun and her children to mediate. After all, they were related across generations. No matter how much you hate Li Shimin in your heart, you should always be gentler to your grandchildren. Most of Li Shimin's filial piety is It was his wife who did it for him.

She even delivered some words on her behalf.

Therefore, it was not particularly unexpected for Empress Changsun to say that she wanted to see the Supreme Emperor.

No, Li Shimin has no objection at all:

"Don't be too persuasive. If your father doesn't want to listen, don't force it, so as not to make him unhappy. I also told Chengqian and the others not to take those pills. Just say that they have been taking pills recently. I don't know. The properties of the medicines are incompatible with each other. Even if their father gives them to them, don't let them eat them either.

You can keep it or bring it back.

Don't eat it, I'm really worried. "

It has to be said that no one in the entire Li Tang Dynasty believes that Bai Sheng, as the Supreme Emperor, can refine the so-called life-saving golden elixir. As long as they can refine the elixir that is not poisonous to death, they will be Amitabha, so good!

Li Shimin also had the same idea, and was even more afraid that his father would have the confidence to make it and give it to his grandchildren.

So of course it is necessary to warn them in advance.

I would rather offend him than eat blindly.

"I understand, I'm not stupid, but what about the younger brothers and sisters who live with my father? Should we try to get them all to move out of Da'an Palace?

Otherwise, I worry that my father will eat it for them. "

Li Yuan really had many children. In total, he gave birth to twenty-two sons and nineteen daughters. The older ones, like Li Jiancheng, Li Xuanba, Li Yuanji, etc., are all dead, or He has gone to a fiefdom, become an emperor, and even got married.

But there are also many younger ones. For example, the youngest Li Yuanying, the Prince of Teng in the Prince Teng Pavilion in the preface to the Prince of Teng Pavilion, is only seven years old this year. He has two nine-year-old brothers, two ten-year-old brothers, and a ten-year-old brother. A one-year-old brother and a twelve-year-old brother.

There are also two or three older brothers who are thirteen or fourteen years old.

There are also many brothers who are fifteen or sixteen years old.

All in all, excluding those who died young, there are now fifteen sons who are still alive and under the age of eighteen, and there are thirteen or four daughters. Except for a few who have been crowned kings or married, the rest are all in Da'an Palace.

The most important thing is that Queen Changsun knows that the Emperor has the habit of sharing good things. As long as he thinks it is good, he is happy to share it, including grapes, lychees and some rare treasures.

But the golden elixir he refined is really hard to say.

He was really poisoned, but there was no way he could pay for it with his life!

"Well... there's no need to be too hasty. Didn't my father just start practicing? It's so easy to make it, and there's no way my father would let his children test the elixir for him.

Just send a few more imperial doctors to keep an eye on him later. "

After all, it was not his child, but his half-brother, and he had no feelings for him, so while Li Shimin was not so worried, he also calmed down a bit.

Worrying is chaos, now I am calmer.

I think he might be a little too worried.

Please call me Danzu of the Tang Dynasty!
