The queen bullies me every day

Chapter 215 Gentian
"What are you talking about!? Cough cough." Chu Jin's throat was almost choked by the longan meat he just put into his mouth.

Linglong Yibi patted her back hard to catch her breath, Yibi rebuked Sanfu and said, "You are talking so loudly, the Empress is so frightened that you are choking on her. I can't catch my breath and talk properly." ?"

Sanfu smiled obsequiously, nodded and bowed, and said: "Gu Fangshi returned triumphantly, the emperor appreciated him, and left him as our Dazhao's national teacher."

"National teacher?" Chu Jin took a sip of the tea offered by Linglong, "Dazhao has never had any national teacher, why? The emperor temporarily created a new position for him?"

"Isn't it? A monthly payment of 500 taels of snowflake silver can be regarded as a second-rank official."

As for why Gu Chengge was kept in Zhaodu and given him the position of a national teacher, Xuan Jue's explanation to Chu Jin was like this.

"Didn't Jin'er say that my heart is jealous? I thought that since Fangshi Gu is Jin'er's old friend, he is also my old friend. After he died, his master wandered around alone, and giving him a fortune would cost him nothing." It’s better to keep him in Zhaodu to have a stable income than to be rewarded. It’s better to teach someone how to fish than to give him a fish, so Jin’er won’t say I’m stingy anymore, right?”

Chu Jin looked at Xuan Jue with a smile on her chin, "You might as well say that you love the 2000 taels of gold."

"How can it be distressed? Not at all!" Xuan Jue raised his voice to be strong, "Jin'er roughly calculated, he earned back the 2000 taels of gold in only 20 years. It's good to earn one more day, so he still took advantage of me."

All right, whatever you say is what you say, as long as you are happy.

Having said that, Xuan Jue treated Gu Chengge quite well.

Although he still minds that he and Chu Jin are old acquaintances, this mind is nothing compared to the previous jealousy.

He ordered people to tidy up the Baili Mansion that had been confiscated before, put up a signboard of the National Teacher's Mansion, and gave it to Gu Chengge as the mansion.

Eight more maids from the palace were assigned to take care of Gu Chengge's daily life.

When choosing the palace maids, Xuan Jue deliberately chose young and beautiful ones. If Gu Chengge saw the right one and got married, he didn't have to be afraid that Gu Chengge would covet his beloved wife.

When Gu Chengge was allowed to live in the Baili Mansion, the former court officials also made suggestions, saying that Baili Zhenyuan was at least a first-rank official before his death, and it is reasonable to have a large mansion.Now Gu Chengge's position as a national teacher has no rank. If calculated by monthly salary, he is at most a second-rank official. How can he live in such a mansion at the foot of the emperor?
What the speaker meant was to ask Xuan Jue to find another mansion with a smaller area as the state affairs mansion, so that it could be regarded as following the rules, and others would not comment too much.

How could he not know these Xuan Jue who read the Tao?
It's just that if you want to buy a new house, even if you don't buy it, leasing is still an expense.When I promised Gu Chengge to cover his food and lodging at the beginning, the court had to bear the rent.He didn't want to spend any more money for Gu Chengge.

There are only two ready-made mansions in Zhaodu, one is the Baili family and the other is the Chu family.

You can't let him live in Chu Jin's former residence, can you?Letting him live in, Xuan Jue still doesn't know what kind of troubles he has become every day.

It's just right to live in Baili Zhenyuan.

Anyway, it was sealed by the court, and it is empty if it is empty.Not to mention saving money, it also made Chu Jin think that he took care of her friends and felt decent.

After everything was settled, Gu Chengge began a new life of going to court every day.

He doesn't know anything about state affairs, and he doesn't know anything about political affairs. He said he was going to court, but he just stood outside Chaoyang Palace with his eyes closed to rest his mind.

Hearing the noise of those ministers for an hour or two every day, and then leaving the palace to go back to the mansion, drinking wine and eating meat, if not letting the maids assigned to him by Xuan Jue dance and dance to relieve boredom, life is considered comfortable.

Of course, he has not forgotten his own job - subduing the dragon.

The dragon, the whole body is a treasure.Dragon gentian can prolong life even more. Because of taking gentian for many years, the real Zichuan lived for 330 years before dying of aging.

In fact, Master Zichuan could have lived longer, just because there are very few dragons in the world today, and it has become difficult to catch them.Without gentian to continue his life, he would no longer be able to maintain his immortal body, and his death was extremely terrifying.

Dark green blood flowed from the seven orifices, the eyeballs burst in the eye sockets, and the bones were crisp and turned into shortbread, which would shatter when touched.

When a person dies, the internal organs begin to melt. Gu Chengge watched his master be tortured for seven days before he died.

Before dying, Zichuan Zhenren also told him the disadvantages of taking gentian to prolong life.

Once you start taking it, you must continue to take it every ten years. Once there is no fresh gentian supply, you will be backlashed by the dragon poison in the gentian.No matter how old you are, you will end up in the same fate as him.

This also means that Gu Chengge, who has also taken gentian, if he can't find gentian and continues to take it every ten years, even if he is only twenty-five, he will suffer and die just like the real Zichuan.

And this year is the year that Gu Chengge should continue taking gentian.

Ten years ago, Gu Chengge was 15 years old. Why did Zichuan Zhenren give him gentian at that time?
Just look at his magical powers and you will know.

How can ordinary people induce thunder and summon wind, if there is a miracle?
It's just that he used the gentian and annexed the 500-year-old dragon's cultivation base into his own body, so that he obtained this sky-high ability.

Seeing that the ten-year period is approaching, Gu Chengge is not panicked at all, as if he is not afraid of death at all.

Until the night of the full moon three days later, he locked himself in the dormitory, took out a gentian shining with dark green light from the cloth bag next to his body, and laughed silently.

This gentian was originally used by Master Zichuan to extend his life, but it was stolen by Gu Chengge.

This move was just to watch his master who kept saying that he was good for him die in Huangquan.

Back then, Master Zichuan valued his natural talent with different pupils, so he forcibly accepted him as a disciple and took him away from the Chu residence.

And Gu Chengge knew the disadvantages of taking gentian as early as a year after taking gentian.

He hated Immortal Zichuan, and he did not hesitate to use the young him as a test product of his ambition in order to let him inherit the mantle.

Not everyone wants to live forever, and not everyone has the same ambition as Zi Chuan.

At that time, Gu Chengge had just begun to fall in love, and he only wanted to guard his beloved, and when he reached the age of marriage, he married her.

All these good things were shattered because of Zichuan Zhenren's determination and independence.

The matter of slaying a dragon is extremely dangerous, and one will lose one's life easily.

But if he doesn't slay the dragon, Gu Chengge is doomed to die.

He can only keep himself strong in order to save his life.

Living is an extremely luxurious thing for him.Even if he can live for thousands of years, ten thousand years, he will live forever.

But he often thinks, living like this, can he still be regarded as a human being?

He swallowed the gentian, drank a jug of wine facing the bright moon in the sky, and said slightly drunk: "Master, after today, you and I will not owe each other. This disciple will not blame you anymore, and I also look forward to your happy future." rest in peace."
