The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 654 Changes in Gyeonggi

"I didn't expect that Yu Yanyi, the chief assistant of the cabinet who upholds justice, is actually a member of His Royal Highness King Chu!"

Cao Zhengchun was very surprised when he saw the face of the cloak.

Yu Yanyi is the largest imperial party above the imperial court, and has always been neutral in the battle for the heir apparent, but he did not expect to be mixed with the King Chu's people now.

"Governor Cao misunderstood!" Zhao Zheng had a wry smile on his face. If Yu Yanyi really supported the king of Chu, then the king of Chu should be in the imperial study now, instead of being imprisoned in the sky prison by Xichang.

"Then Mr. Yu..." Cao Zhengchun was a little confused. Since Yu Yanyi was not part of the Chu royal party, why did he hang out with Zhao Zheng at this time? Although Zhao Zheng's identity was relatively secret, he was a minion of the Chu king. It is no secret among the six dark departments of the imperial court.

Wouldn't it be trouble for Yu Yanyi to hang out with Zhao Zheng at a time like this?

"I asked Zhao Qianhu to ask Governor Cao to come out. There is really something to hear."

Yu Yanyi was also very helpless. If Yang Qingyuan was in the capital, he could let Yang Qingyuan run errands, but now everyone in the Dali Temple's Dongxuan Realm power, including Yang Qingyuan, went to the northern border for some reason.

As a result, no one can use Yu Yanyi.

The matter he wanted to investigate was so important that even the people in Dali Temple couldn't believe it.

Cao Zhengchun originally came here with the mentality of hitting three shots first, but after seeing Yu Yanyi, he knew that this matter was not easy.

"I don't know what the Grand Scholar wants to ask, but the slaves must know everything!"

Cao Zhengchun treats people with humility and reason, and he admires a cultural person like Yanyi even more, and this cultural person in front of him is still the chief assistant of Dazhou, an existence under one person and above ten thousand people, a good friendship is the problem. meaning.

"The old man wants to know, what is the so-called Governor Cao leading the troops out of the capital before the late Emperor's funeral?"

Hearing this question, Cao Zhengchun's eyes froze slightly, and the aura in his body also moved slightly.

This is a secret involving the late emperor, why did Yu Yanyi inquire about it.

What's more, now that the first emperor is dead, this matter is meaningless, even if you find out something, what's the use? !
However, Cao Zhengchun believes that with Yu Yanyi's means and ability, he will not do meaningless things, and there must be reasons for the groundlessness.

Since Yu Yanyi asked, it means that this matter must not be simple.

Cao Zhengchun hesitated, wondering if he should answer Yu Yanyi.

He looked at Yu Yanyi's eyes, hoping to find Yu Yanyi's purpose from it.

But he got nothing.

The clarity in those eyes is something Cao Zhengchun has only seen in his life, even eunuchs like him who are obsessed with power and profit will not be moved.

"Master Yu must know?!"

Yu Yanyi nodded, "At this time, it may be related to the foundation of our Great Zhou, Jiangshan, and society for thousands of years, so we must investigate!"

"Our family can trust the words of Master Yu!"

After hesitating, Cao Zhengchun made a decision, "Our family went out of Beijing secretly, in fact, to obtain a elixir for the late emperor!"

"When did the first emperor become obsessed with the method of gold, silver and cinnabar? Didn't Daoist Zhenwu already prohibit this method in the Taoist sect?!"

Using heavy metals such as gold, silver, mercury, and lead to make alchemy, if you eat it, you will live forever.

In order to ensure the status of the Daoist sect in the state religion of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Daoist sect has also made a lot of efforts, such as destroying Mingjiao and attacking Taiping Dao.

The way to ban gold and silver cinnabar is one of the most important decisions of the Taoist sect.

Too many kings died from erysipelas. If the Daoist sect wants to be firmly established as the king of the Dazhou state religion, it must make itself more upright, and the method of cinnabar has to be banned.

"It's not cinnabar, but the elixir practiced by King Sun Yao."

Cao Zhengchun shook his head. Although the late emperor was already terminally ill at that time, he could still tell the difference between what could be eaten and what could not be eaten.

Even if you are in a hurry and go to the doctor, you will not eat the forbidden cinnabar.

"Sun Yaowang?... But the medicine king Sun Shichang?!"

"It's this man!"

Yu Yanyi immediately gestured with his eyes slightly, asking Cao Zhengchun to continue talking.

"According to what Sun Yaowang and Zhang Zhenren said, what the late emperor asked Sun Yaowang to refine was a elixir called Tianchang Pill. It is said that this elixir surpasses the fortune of heaven and earth, even if a dying person takes the elixir The medicine can also bring the dead back to life and prolong life for two years."

"How is this magic medicine different from the elixir?" Listening to Cao Zhengchun's description, Yu Yanyi felt a little absurd.

There are many elixir for treating injuries and diseases in the world, such as three heavenly fragrant cardamoms, such as the three-light magic pill on Kunlun Mountain.

But I have never heard of any elixir that can not only cure diseases and restore vitality, but also prolong life for three years.

"The Tian Chang Dan also has limitations. Once this pill is taken, it will only have two years of life left. Even if it is properly adjusted afterwards, it will be difficult to live longer. It is equivalent to drinking poison to quench thirst."

"Then is this elixir refined?!"

Zhao Zheng and Yu Yanyi thought that most of them were not refined, otherwise the late emperor should not have died.

"It's done! I watched this pill be made with my own eyes."

When Yu Yanyi heard the words, disbelief appeared in his eyes.

If Zhang Sanfeng is the No. 1 martial art in the world, then Sun Shichang is the Taishan Beidou in the way of medicine in the world.

"Besides, I think this elixir is [-]% useful!" Cao Zhengchun added.

"how do I say this?!"

Although Cao Zhengchun's martial arts are superb, I've never heard that he is also good at medicine!
Cao Zhengchun didn't hide anything, and told about the situation in the Valley of the King of Medicine at the foot of Wudang Mountain that day.

When the alchemy is completed, dark clouds pile up and thunder falls, and the heaven-defying medicine is forbidden by the law of heaven.

Fortunately, Daoist Zhenwu, who manifested as a real person through micro-manifestation, was able to keep this magic pill.

This story was told by Cao Zhengchun very wonderfully.

After all, one of Dongchang's corporate cultures is obedience.

Because the factory director Cao Zhengchun liked it, Dongchang was popularized.

"it is good!!"

When Cao Zhengchun finished speaking, Zhao Zheng also put down the sheathed sword in his hand and clapped involuntarily.

It's so well-spoken, fascinating, and immersive!
"Governor Cao, your abilities are really extraordinary. With your eloquence, if you become a storyteller, you must be the best in the world."

Cao Zhengchun didn't know whether to laugh or not when Zhao Zheng praised him so much. Although he was praising him, the words of praise were really strange.

"Scholar Yu, Zhao Qianhu, you don't believe what our family says!"

Seeing the sullen look on Cao Zhengchun's face, Zhao Qianhu immediately said, "Director Cao, I know you are very excited, but please don't get excited..."

"..." Cao Zhengchun said, I let you say everything, so I said nothing.

"It's not true, we don't believe it, it's just that the process of becoming an alchemy is too mysterious, it's like listening to fairy tales, it really makes people feel suspicious!"

Cao Zhengchun thought about it, and what Zhao Zheng said was also reasonable. If he hadn't seen Zhang Sanfeng's scene of drinking a piece of Daoist scriptures and repelling Lei Jie with his own eyes, he would have thought that it was someone else's nonsense storytelling.

"It wasn't just our family who saw this scene, the big bosses under our command also witnessed this together with our family, and the black-clothed arrow team from the East Factory also saw the Thunder Tribulation fall."

Yu Yanyi, who had been listening all the time, spoke slowly, "What Eunuch Cao said is true!?"

"It's true!"

Yu Yanyi nodded, "I believe Eunuch Cao, after the elixir was refined, was it ever sent back to the capital?"

"This elixir has special pharmacological properties. For example, it is placed in the mysterious ice environment to isolate the atmosphere of the world. Therefore, our family has no choice but to bring a black-clothed arrow team, disguised as a caravan, and come to Gyeonggi."

Zhao Zheng thought of Eunuch Cao's wonderful storytelling just now, so he poured him a cup of tea to relieve his thirst.

Eunuch Cao was also a little thirsty, and he drank half a cup of tea in one breath before continuing, "But for some reason, my whereabouts have been leaked. This is also the strangest part of this matter. When our family left the capital, we met with the black The Clothes and Arrows are leaving separately, this trip is top secret, but on my way back to the city, it seems like the whole world knows that I am carrying a magic medicine."

Governor Cao's mood at that time was as complicated as a mess.

It's as if Fu Bole published a secret document, but it was posted on Twitter the next day, and the whole world knew about it.

Both Yu Yanyi and Zhao Zheng were aware of the strangeness. If no one was causing trouble, it was less likely than the sun rising from the west tomorrow.

But having said that, although it is difficult for people in the Jianghu to grasp Cao Zhengchun's whereabouts, it is not the case in the court.

As the leader of one of the six dark ministries, Cao Zhengchun's every move is under surveillance. If Cao Zhengchun is accidentally discovered, it is also possible.

The real problem is that someone announced his whereabouts and claimed that there is a magic medicine in it, which is intriguing.

Some people don't want this elixir to reach the capital.

But judging from the results, the prince is the biggest beneficiary.

Originally, his status was almost equal to that of the King of Chu, and there were even more people in the court who supported the King of Chu's ascension to the throne, but the sudden death of the emperor left everyone unprepared.

"Then did the elixir arrive?!"

Cao Zhengchun recalled, "When we walked to the north of Jingzhou, Wang Beibei, the head of the Kongtong faction, Yaoyue, the master of Yihua Palace, and Yaoshi Dongxiehuang, all joined the robbing of the pill. Our family will The real magic medicine was handed over to Xiaotian, the boss of Dongchang, and he returned to the capital under the escort of the Dragon Scale Guard. Our family repelled the intruders together with Han Shanggong, the leader of the Lijingmen who came to support. land."

When he heard Han Sumi's name, although Yu Yanyi didn't have any abnormalities, his heart still couldn't help but miss a beat.

"After that, our family used the refined medicine as bait to attract these people with ulterior motives here, so that Pi Xiaotian could return with the magic medicine. According to what Pi Xiaotian said, he was going to bring it back to the capital. , dedicated directly to the late emperor.”

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"That's right! When our family repelled the forces of Jianghu and returned to the capital, the emperor had already died. But according to Da Tan Scalp Xiaotian, the Tianchang God Pill was dedicated to the emperor."

"..."

There seems to be a trace of weirdness in this matter, and it is endless.

"Could it be that this elixir has been tampered with!" Zhao Zheng was the first to doubt the crown prince as a member of the royal party of Chu.

In order to win the throne, he poisoned his father to death.

On the other hand, Yu Yanyi shook his head, "It's unlikely. When the late emperor passed away, Miyagi was still under the control of the late emperor. Even the crown prince..."

In the middle of speaking, Yu Yanyi glanced at Cao Zhengchun, and did not continue talking.

He thought of a person, with his help, it is still possible to do it.

——Xichang Factory Supervisor Yuhuatian.

At that time, Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory, and Han Sumi, the leader of Lijingmen, were not in the palace, and the governor of the West Factory, Yuhuatian, was in charge of guarding the imperial city.

What's even more coincidental is that Zhuge Zhengwo, Marquis of the Sixth Five Gods, Liu Dufeng, chief arrester of the Six Gates, and Yang Qingyuan, Minister of the Dali Temple, are not in the capital...

During the contact, Yuhuatian won the trust of the new emperor, and his power was very hot.

The more Yu Yanyi thought about it, the more he felt that these things were too coincidental.

"Director Cao, I don't know if the waste pill you used to lure the enemy is still there."

"During the robbing, two were destroyed, and there are two more in our East Factory." Although it was the abandoned pill of Tianchang Pill, according to Sun Yaowang, even the abandoned pill can replenish vitality, The effect of consolidating the root and returning to the source.

"I don't know if Governor Cao can lend me a pill?"

Faced with Yanyi's request, Cao Zhengchun did not hesitate too much.

"Although this elixir is good, it's not a great thing. Besides, the Grand Scholars have worked hard for the country and really need to make up for it. Why do you need to borrow it?"

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhengchun stood up, "You two, wait a moment, Cao will come back as soon as he goes."

About three quarters of an hour later, Cao Zhengchun returned to the Wuyou Tavern with an extra jade bottle in his hand.

"Thank you Governor Cao for what happened today! Please don't mention it to others."

Cao Zhengchun bowed to Yu Yanyi, "Scholar, you are welcome, our family is a sensible person, and knows what to say and what not to say."

The factory supervisor of the East Factory secretly contacted Jin Yiwei Qianhu, the confidant of the King of Chu, as well as the chief assistant of the cabinet and the scholar of the Wuyingdian University at night.

This matter spread to the ears of caring people, it is terrible.

Once the emperor finds out, no one can escape!

Conspired against the party with the king of Chu at night, what do you want to do? !It's nothing more than conspiracy and rebellion, kill!
After leaving, Yu Yanyi returned to the mansion under the protection of Zhao Zheng.

"Zhao Qianhu, you are right, there is something strange about the emperor's death."

After getting along gradually, Yu Yanyi has already recognized Zhao Zheng's character very much, and he is also a trustworthy person.

"Master Yu feels that what Cao Zhengchun said tonight is somewhat true and somewhat false!" Zhao Zheng began to recall Cao Zhengchun's words tonight.

But he had no choice but to find that what impressed him the most was the passage Cao Zhengchun said that resembled a fairy tale storytelling, and he could only ask Yu Yanyi for his opinion.

"The old man thinks that Cao Zhengchun's words only need to be [-]% credible."

Except for the part where he dismissed the catastrophe with a single word, it was considered three points, and the remaining seven points were credible.

Given Cao Zhengchun's current embarrassing situation, there is no reason to make up such a complete set of lies to deceive people.

Yu Yanyi pondered for a while, and then took out the jade bottle that Cao Zhengchun had just given him from his sleeve.

Maybe there's a secret in it.

"Zhao Qianhu, please trouble you tomorrow morning, disguise yourself, take my greeting card, go to the imperial hospital, and say that my old illness has relapsed, and invite Wan Mizhai and Li Binhu to come to my house and consult with me."
