Li Zhi, don't be a coward

The visitor who didn't care much at first, when Liu Shen said the "elixir of life", Li Qinzai's expression immediately became serious, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He was highly educated in his previous life, so he could barely be regarded as a materialist. After all, there are still many mysterious things in the world that cannot be explained by science, which can only be explained by metaphysics.

But Li Qinzai didn't believe a single word about the "elixir of life".

In today's society, perhaps immortality is very attractive to emperors, and emperors of all dynasties deeply believed in it, and did not hesitate to pay any price for it.

Yes, Qin Shihuang is not the only one who pursues immortality. The emperors of all dynasties have more or less longed for it. With power in their hands, they also want to obtain eternal life.

Although no one can really achieve immortality, it is strange that the emperors of every dynasty are always enjoying it, and those failures are ignored.

After thousands of years, the so-called "immortality" seems to have become a curse from the heavens to the emperor. There is no eternal life in the world, but there is greed and desire for eternal life.

Li Qinzai's face suddenly sank.

"The Brahmin of the Utu Kingdom, can he refine the elixir of life?" Li Qinzai asked again.

Seeing his serious expression, Liu Shen thought that he had received Li Qinzai's attention, and hurriedly said: "Yes, this person's name is Lu Jiayiduo, and he is a Brahmin from the Udu Kingdom. The so-called 'Brahman', in the words of our Tang Dynasty, He is a priest, his ability is unfathomable and unfathomable."

Li Qinzai said with a half-smile, "Where is this Lu Jiayiduo now?"

"I live in the posthouse arranged by Honglu Temple. I have been in Chang'an for a month, but because Wutu Kingdom is only a very small country, the officials of the Ministry of Rites have no time to receive them, let alone meet the emperor. I have been living in Chang'an since I arrived in Chang'an. In the posthouse, no one cares."

Li Qinzai sized Liu Shen up and asked, "I don't know how Liu County Marquis got acquainted with him?"

"We met by accident while having a banquet in a restaurant in Chang'an. The officials of the Ministry of Rituals left him at the posthouse. Lu Jiayi waited for a long time but failed, so he had to hang out in the restaurants in Chang'an City every day to get drunk and relieve his worries. The next official met in the restaurant. his."

"He personally told you that he can refine the elixir of life?"

Liu Shen said solemnly: "Yes, what he said himself is not only the elixir of life, but he has medicines to cure all intractable diseases in the world, even if they are terminally ill."

Li Qinzai sighed, "Do you believe it?"

"The lower official didn't believe it at first, but in order to win the trust of the lower official, he personally cured several common people in front of the lower official, and picked out a man in his forties from his entourage, saying that A person is actually 130 years old, and he took an elixir a hundred years ago, and since then his appearance has remained forever, and he has been disease-free for a hundred years.”

Li Qinzai sighed again: "That follower, he said that he is more than 100 years old, do you believe it?"

Liu Shen said seriously: "Your official is not an ignorant person, it's just that the entourage's appearance is indeed only about forty years old. The official also called a famous doctor from Chang'an City to take the pulse of that entourage. The famous doctor said that this person's pulse is strange. There seems to be a thriving vitality in the body from the dantian, and the doctor has practiced medicine all his life, and he has never seen such a strange pulse..."

"Lu Jiayi took out many ancient books and prescriptions in Sanskrit, and swore that his elixir is an ancient solitary prescription, unique in the world. He also cited various examples of immortality in Tianzhu. There are people and physical evidence. I have to believe it."

Li Qinzai sneered again and again.

Deep down in his heart, Li Qinzai had already decided on that Lu Jiayi, the Tang version of a super fraudster.

It's just that this scammer has done his homework well and is very well prepared. The so-called witness and physical evidence are all fraudulent routines from his previous life.

How could Li Qinzai, who talked about flying with tea girls in his previous life, fall for such a low-level trick?
Li Qinzai knew better that when warlocks or elixirs appeared in the court, there would be chaos in the court and the public. No matter how wise the emperor was, once he fell into the trap of immortality, he would become fatuous and confused.

Greed and desire overcame reason, which was the inevitable result.

Li Qinzai already had murderous intentions towards that Lu Jiayi at this moment, this kind of scourge would definitely kill him before he became famous, if he was known by the court and officials, it might be too late.

But Liu Shen in front of him is still dreaming of the dream of being promoted.

Li Qinzai roughly understood the purpose of Liu Shen's visit today.

Liu Shen is also a speculator in the officialdom, and Lu Jiayi is his bargaining chip.

He wanted to attract the attention of the Tian family with the gimmick of immortality and cure for all diseases.

If the seriously ill prince is cured by Lu Jiayi, Liu Shen's political capital will skyrocket like a rocket. Li Zhi will definitely use him again in order to thank him.

Now in Chang'an City, in order to compete for the reserve, all parties are fighting secretly, but everyone has ignored a candidate who is both popular and unpopular, and that is Prince Li Hong.

The fundamental reason for everyone to fight for the crown prince is that the crown prince Li Hong is about to die of illness, and now Li Hong has only one breath left. Li Zhiyi's reserve is already a certainty, so they dare to fight unscrupulously.

However, what if Li Hong was rescued?What if someone really recovered and could be alive and kicking again?

No one thought of this possibility, because the most skilled imperial physicians all gave Li Hong a death notice.

But Liu Shen was different, he knew Lu Jiayiduo, so he suddenly felt that his chance had come.

The reason why Li Qinzai was found was because Li Qinzai had a detached position in the court. He was not only a personal friend of the emperor, but also could freely enter and leave the East Palace. rule of law.

Liu Shen wants to introduce Lu Jiayi to the Tian family, is there a more suitable candidate than Li Qinzai?

Li Qinzai immediately thought of something even more terrifying.

The acquaintance between Xue Na and Liu Shen's daughter was really fate, or was it deliberately arranged?
Staring at Liu Shen's flattering smiling face, Li Qinzai smiled calmly.

"I don't know why Liu Xianhou came here today..."

Liu Shen sighed: "The crown prince is seriously ill, and the next official is very anxious, but the East Palace has been sealed off, and the lower official position is humble, the emperor can see it, but the elixir of immortality is too false after all, the emperor may not believe the words of the next official... "

"So I want to win the trust of Lord Li first. If Lord Li believes, you and I will jointly report to the emperor to cure His Royal Highness' illness as soon as possible. What is Lord Li's opinion?"

Li Qinzai laughed, and said it in a high-sounding way, nothing more than he wanted to recommend someone to donate medicine in order to seek promotion.

But Liu Shen was a marginal figure in the court, and Li Zhi would not believe what he said, so Liu Shen planned to pull Li Qinzai into a partnership for this business that could lead to promotion.

Li Qinzai's weight in Li Zhi's heart was beyond Liu Shen's flattery. Li Zhi would think seriously about Li Qinzai's casual words. If the elixir of life had Li Qinzai as its image spokesperson, its credibility would be high.

Li Qinzai's smile became colder and colder.

I'm young, and my wife and children are waiting for me to pass the good days of the hot kang. How can I accompany you to do this brain-dead thing when I'm full?
