Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 284 Li Shimin's Road to Immortal Worship
Li Shimin saw that in the teacup where Li Mingda cast the spell, the glass of water that was supposed to be good turned into ice cubes. To be honest, Li Shimin was pleasantly surprised at the first time.

But Li Shimin's surprise was not because there was ice that could relieve the heat of the people in Chang'an.

Li Shimin's surprise is that there are really magic spells in this world. If there are really magic spells in this world, then maybe there will really be immortal spells, so that one can live forever.

Some people will definitely say that Li Shimin will still believe this, because everyone knows that Li Shimin once said that the life of the husband is the great virtue of the world, and the life of the life is the constant of laziness and shortness.Born in the shape of seven feet, the life span is limited to a hundred years.Even if you regain the power to turn the sky and turn the sun, and use the wisdom of the poor gods, life must have an end, and it is inevitable.

This sentence means that there is a certain amount of time for a person to live for a long time. Even the most intelligent and witty person can't fight against the reincarnation of fate. No one can be spared, and it can be seen that what Li Shimin said It is very transparent, as said by a very wise king.

Not only that, when Li Shimin first proclaimed himself emperor, he criticized the practice of alchemy in the court, and warned his courtiers not to believe the rumors of so-called longevity.

But no one would have thought that Li Shimin like this has already changed his previous thinking, because people are always full of fear of unknown death, and Li Shimin is no different. When he was young, he was healthy and strong. There is no major problem, but after middle age, the body starts to go downhill.

First of all, there are various chronic diseases. It is recorded in the "Old Tang Book" that Li Shimin had stomach problems, colds, wind diseases, etc. These diseases are not serious, but they are very disturbing. His own sons didn't let him worry, so he sprouted the distorted idea of ​​eternal life and immortality.

Now Li Shimin has secretly admired Taoism, and began to let some Taoist priests make alchemy and medicine for him, and develop the elixir of immortality.

But everyone knows that those so-called elixirs are all kinds of poisons, not only can't save lives, but can kill lives, but Li Shimin doesn't understand this, no matter what elixirs the Taoists practiced, they have to try it. It was these pills that were gnawing at Li Shimin's body bit by bit.

When Li Shimin saw Li Mingda's tricks today, you can't guess how shocked and excited Li Shimin was. His daughter knows the fairy magic and can turn water into ice. This is not an indirect proof that the world is Is there proof of immortality?

It's just a pity that just after Li Shimin showed a very surprised expression, Li Mingda on the side laughed loudly, and followed Li Mingda to puncture Li Shimin's dream.

Li Mingda told Li Shimin that this is not a fairy art at all, but a trick. He put saltpeter in the teacup, and saltpeter can turn water into ice. In theory, as long as there is enough saltpeter, If there is enough water, there will be infinitely many ice cubes.

After Li Mingda exposed his own immortal method, Li Shimin did not show an expression of enlightenment, but instead there was a trace of loss in his eyes. Of course, this trace of loss was not seen by Li Mingda.

Li Shimin quickly adjusted his emotions.

Although Li Shimin has begun to believe in Taoism now, he has not yet fallen into it. He will not be desperate until Li Shimin's health becomes very bad.

This will have to wait until the 22nd year of Zhenguan. In that year, Li Shimin's old injuries and illnesses became more and more serious. Li Shimin felt that he was dying, so Li Shimin began to recruit alchemists widely from all over the world.

It was also a coincidence. At this time, a famous general, Wang Xuance, captured a prisoner while fighting the enemy. This prisoner claimed to know how to make alchemy. Wang Xuance originally intended to execute the prisoner, but when he thought that Li Shimin was not trying to spread the word Are you looking for an alchemist who can do alchemy?
If he can offer this prisoner to Li Shimin, Li Shimin will be very happy, maybe he can also seek a higher official position in the court, so Wang Xuance finally provided this prisoner with good food and drink, and brought him to the Datang, let him make alchemy for Li Shimin.

When Wang Xuance presented this person to Li Shimin, Li Shimin's health was already very poor, and the imperial doctor in the palace also felt that Li Shimin could not live much longer.

As soon as Li Shimin saw this alchemist from Tianzhu, he immediately asked him to refine the elixir of longevity for him. Although this alchemist was a prisoner, he was treated favorably by Li Shimin in the palace. They all trusted him, and Li Shimin's counselors wrote letters to persuade them one by one, but Li Shimin ignored them all.

At the request of this alchemist, Li Shimin spent a lot of money to find the necessary medicinal materials for alchemy, but this alchemist kept refining alchemy in the alchemy room every day, even though he would practice alchemy until late at night, but until Li Shimin passed away, he There was no pill that could make Li Shimin live forever.

"Si. You said that you learned this skill from your fifth brother, that is to say, your fifth brother knew about it a long time ago, but now that Chang'an has killed so many people, why didn't he offer it?" Li Shimin looked at Li Mingda. asked.

"Did a lot of people die from the heat in Chang'an?" Li Mingda tilted his head and said, "My fifth brother and I don't know, and no one came to tell us. My fifth brother and I have been in Dunhuafang all the time. We are studying how to prevent the people in our Dunhua workshop from being overheated to death and have never been out of Dunhua workshop, we thought everything in Chang'an was the same as before!"

After Li Mingda finished speaking, Li Shimin nodded slightly. With Li Mingda's words, Li Shimin also felt that Li You didn't deliberately conceal the matter of making saltpeter ice, because if Li You wanted to hide it, he wouldn't let this The method, even my own little son knows it.

Li You is not so unclear, and Li You is just a commoner now, he should only think of his Dunhuafang, and other places are not places he can take care of.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin also nodded slightly, and all the grievances against Li You disappeared, and then Li Shimin looked at Li Mingda with a smile and said: "Son, wait for the emperor to call your eldest grandson uncle and uncle Fang as well." Come to Ganlu Hall, follow you and give them your tricks, the emperor wants to see if you can scare your eldest grandson uncle and uncle Fang."

"Hee hee!" Li Mingda heard that his father wanted to trick his eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling with him, and immediately clapped his hands and said, "Okay. Father, don't worry, Sizi will definitely take care of Fang Xuanling." Uncle and Uncle Changsun were frightened."

"Ha ha.!"

After speaking, Li Shimin and Li Mingda, the father and daughter, laughed wickedly together.
