The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 978
But I have to say, if Gu Chengyu can go, this is his opportunity.

This is not only good for the local people, but also a rare promotion opportunity for Gu Chengyu.

However, he was the first to discover the breach.So even if he doesn't go, the emperor will summon him.

So he nodded, "Then the official will go with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The two left the East Palace hand in hand and walked towards Chengqian Palace.The prince entered the palace to face the saint, and the servants naturally did not dare to stop him.

Therefore, the two traveled unimpeded all the way to Chengqian Palace.

"Boss Chen, did your father take a break?"

When De'an saw that the prince was coming, Gu Chengyu was still by his side, he felt a little strange.

Now that the palace is about to be banned, how can His Royal Highness bring Mr. Gu into the palace?
It's just that he also knows that the two of them are not those kind of people who have no sense of proportion, so he doesn't dare to neglect.

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Gu. The Emperor is discussing important matters with Grandmaster Tianji at the moment. Please wait a moment for Your Highness and Lord Gu, and the servant will report right away."

Gu Chengyu smiled slightly, and he knew that De'an could become the chief executive, how could he be so ungrateful?
He handed over the sign just now, but I don't know if he handed it to De'an.

But is this Master Tianji the Taoist master who is proficient in alchemy?

I heard that I came to the palace more than ten years ago, and later the emperor and the other party learned this alchemy technique, and the two often discussed it together.

It's just that Gu Chengyu is not optimistic about this alchemy technique. The refined elixir has heavy metals added to it, which are highly poisonous.

Even if you don't die on the spot, the poison will hide in your body and affect your lifespan.

"Daoist Tianji is the master of the alchemy sect. My father has been taking the pills he refined for these years. Before that, my father's illnesses were suppressed by the Xiaoyuan Dan he developed, but recently this Xiaoyuan pill seems to be against my father. The emperor is useless."

The voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rang out leisurely, and Gu Chengyu regained his energy when he heard it.

"Xiao Yuan Dan? Did the emperor take it alone?"

Gu Chengyu didn't make his words too obvious, but he believed that the prince could understand.

"Because of the precious medicinal materials, the cost is huge, and the success rate of pills is extremely low. So at that time, apart from finding someone to test the pills, the pills refined each time were only enough for the father to take alone. Besides, there are three main medicines that are extremely rare. It’s so rare that the pill is even more precious.”

The prince cast his eyes on the majestic palace in front of him. At this time, the night was gradually falling, and the palace looked like a giant beast hidden in the darkness, looking ferocious and terrifying!
"Xiao Huan Pill has lost its effectiveness. Two days ago, Daoist Tianji refined the Prolonging Life Pill for his father. This elixir is more effective than Xiao Yuan Pill, and can even prolong life by five years."

five years?Gu Chengyu was very surprised, and involuntarily turned to look at the prince.

Because the palace lantern on the opposite side was blown around by the wind, the prince's face flickered against the backdrop of the palace lantern.

"Does Mr. Gu believe that there is a life-prolonging pill in this world? Do you believe that there is an elixir of life in this world?"

The prince spoke softly, and he closed his eyes lightly, trying to get rid of the emotions in his eyes.

Gu Chengyu settled down, and did not directly answer the prince's words, "Is there a way to get this life-prolonging pill?"

Even his spiritual spring only has the effect of strengthening the body when he takes it for the first time. Unless there are practitioners in this world, it is impossible to have the life-prolonging pill.

The prince chuckled, "Why? Master Gu is also interested in this pill? It's a pity that Daoist Tianji spent countless treasures, and after several years, he only got two. One was taken by himself , and gave one to my father."

"I heard that one of the main medicines is very rare. My father ordered people to search outside for four years, but they still found nothing. Finally, Daoist Tianji found this strain."

"Then this medicine is really rare!" Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, originally wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Daoist Priest Tianji's gourd, but now it is impossible to think about it.

No wonder he felt that there was something indescribable about the emperor when he met the saint two days ago.

Now that I think about it, maybe that is the vitality radiating from the body.

Not only does he look energetic, but he also looks much younger.

But he thinks this is very unreliable, it feels like overdrawing his life, bright and short.

After a while, the prince suddenly said: "Perhaps there is no elixir, but there may be residues left?"

Gu Chengyu's eyes lit up, "The subordinate is a little interested, maybe I can find out."

In the past two days, Gu Chengyu had been in frequent contact with the prince, and he actually felt that the prince was actually a wonderful person.

Regardless of whether the prince was really loyal and honest before, he still regarded this as a protective color.

Anyway, the changed prince now makes Gu Chengyu feel that this is what a benevolent monarch should look like.

The prince opened his mouth, he regretted it, he should have had more contact with Gu Chengyu earlier.

Gu Chengyu is not what he imagined before, he is a person who only likes to hold power.

At least Gu Chengyu's conscience is still there, and he is extremely principled in his dealings.It's normal to have ambitions, but who doesn't have ambitions among the officials in the DPRK?

Even if he is the prince, it is no exception!

"His Royal Highness, Lord Gu! The emperor announces the two of you to enter the palace!"

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Dean returned.

Gu Chengyu knew that even De'an would not dare to report rashly, he had to find the right time.

"Trouble Manager Chen!" The prince stepped forward, and through the cover of his sleeve, he stuffed a thin piece of paper into the opponent's hand.

Gu Chengyu was not surprised when he saw this, even if it was a prince, he still had to look at the faces of the celebrities around the emperor.

In fact, as long as they report the flood in Changtian Mansion, the emperor will definitely receive them immediately, but this is Gu Chengyu's one-sided words after all.

Besides, what is the life of the common people in the eyes of the superior?

"My son respectfully invites the emperor's peace!"

"My minister Gu Chengyu respectfully invites the emperor to be safe!"

Daoist Tianji at the side looked at the two people who were saluting. He was familiar with His Royal Highness and often met in the palace.

It's just that it's the first time he's seen this young man in a fifth-rank official uniform, but he's no stranger to the other person's name, and it's like thunder.

"Pingshen! The imperial confinement is about to come at this time, what's the important thing for the two of you to come here?"

The emperor was having a long discussion with Dao Tianji, but he didn't want to be interrupted by these two people!
"Report to my father! Lord Gu has just heard the news that the Tianya River has burst its embankment!"

The prince didn't talk nonsense, the situation was urgent at this time, and he might have to call the ministers into the palace overnight to discuss specific matters.

The emperor was taken aback when he heard the words, and then asked in disbelief: "What did you say? The Tianya River burst its embankment?"

"Exactly! In Changtian Mansion on the lower reaches of the Tianya River, several villages have been submerged by the river, and hundreds of civilians have been killed or injured."

Gu Chengyu doesn't know the specifics yet, only a few words on the note.

But he believed that Ding Shiliu and the others couldn't lie about this matter, it would cost them their heads.

　Thank you book friend Zijin Youyou Qingqing for your reward!Not much nonsense, I still want to ask for tickets, ask for tickets every day!
