Chapter 1425 No injustice
"If you invite Li Shaojun to serve as an official in the court, you will be exempted from the penalty for one year's salary, and you will also receive a reward of three thousand gold?"

If there is anyone who has a certain reputation but is hard to find, Li Shaojun can indeed be ranked among them.

Relying on his abilities such as pretending to be dead and aging, Li Shaojun can be said to be elusive.

It is normal for Zhang Xuezhou to use Li Shaojun as a shield, and he has really met Li Shaojun, and he didn't even blink when he spoke here in Taishi Ling Sima Tan.

Zhang Xuezhou did not expect that after Sima Tan tipped off the news, the new emperor would become interested in Li Shaojun.

The convoy set off from Suiyang and returned to Chang'an City in a day and night journey, replacing mounts and wheels along the way.

By the fifth day, Zhang Xuezhou and others were already in Luoyang City, eight hundred miles away from Chang'an City.

If they set off in the early morning after the adjustment, their convoy will be able to enter Chang'an City in the evening. The corresponding convoy will also have final adjustments, and the Luoyang County Magistrate will arrange an area for everyone to wash and eat.

Zhang Xuezhou tidied himself up and was called over by the new emperor.

He received the punishment from the new emperor. This was the psychological preparation he had already made after hearing Sima Tan mention it. It was a little bit that he didn't care, but Zhang Xuezhou could barely accept working for nothing for a year. After all, he worked very hard. It's easy, but Zhang Xuezhou didn't expect that Li Shaojun could still sell it for a good price.

As long as Li Shaojun is willing to become an official in Chang'an City, he will not only get back a year's salary, but will also be rewarded with three guans of money as a recommendation reward.

For normal people, this is a good way to make money, but after thinking about Li Shaojun's unreliability, Zhang Xuezhou said he deserved it, but he didn't want to do it at all.

"I heard that you need the Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill to treat your illness." The new emperor smiled and said: "If that Li Shaojun can refine this pill, I can send him to select various medicinal materials to refine it in the imperial medical hall. This will also cure your disease." get well!"

"Alchemy..."

Zhang Xuezhou opened his mouth.

Sima Tan's tip informed the new emperor of many things, but due to his knowledge of elixirs, the new emperor may not yet know what level of medicine the Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill is.

"Your Majesty, Li Shaojun said that the material of Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill is rare and it is a top-notch medicine," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"With all the strength in the world, I am afraid that I won't be able to refine a few elixirs," the new emperor said cheerfully: "It doesn't matter what materials are used to make the elixir, as long as he can refine it, this elixir will be refined for you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift!"

Whether Li Shaojun can refine the Life and Creation Pill is one thing, but even if Li Shaojun doesn't have the pill formula, Zhang Xuezhou feels that he and Li Shaojun will definitely come up with one.

This is almost like Cintiq's promise to give away free medicine.

Zhang Xuezhou has no idea about recommending Li Shaojun, and Li Shaojun probably has no interest in becoming an official in the imperial court. But with the new emperor's word as a guarantee, the attitudes of both of them will change drastically.

If it weren't for the fact that Luoyang City was too far away from Fengxi Ze and Li Shaojun's whereabouts were uncertain, Zhang Xuezhou would have almost wanted to pull Li Shaojun over immediately.

"Since you have met Li Shaojun, if you have the chance, please persuade him to come to the court and use his strengths." The new emperor smiled and said, "Don't let others run ahead and recommend you!"

"Your Majesty, this person's whereabouts are extremely difficult to find. I happened to have seen him, so I chased him in Suiyang City to seek medical treatment." Zhang Xuezhou said, "It is difficult to find him now. I'm afraid it will take some time." "

"Is his whereabouts so uncertain?" the new emperor smiled.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Li Shaojun was in Nancheng today, North City tomorrow, and went to the west the day after tomorrow. These places are hundreds of miles apart, so it is really difficult to find his whereabouts!"

Zhang Xuezhou had not yet responded, but Sima Xiangru, who was sitting below the new emperor, did.

He also nodded in the direction of Zhang Xuezhou.

The relationship between Sima Xiangru and Zhang Xuezhou could not be said to be good, they had just met each other, but he really hoped that Zhang Xuezhou would find Li Shaojun one day earlier to see if his eyes could be cured.

The Liang Kingdom where the King of Liang lived also had many talented people, and there were many talented people in Liang Yuan. However, Sima Xiangru had seen many people and had never fully regained his sight. Sima Xiangru inevitably put a glimmer of hope in Li Shaojun.

He still has high goodwill towards Zhang Xuezhou who can find Li Shaojun, and hopes that the other party can successfully complete the matter.

"If Your Majesty wants Dongfang Shuo to find Li Shaojun, Dongfang Shuo must have a good horse, and the time may be more relaxed," Sima Xiangru said.

"I want two horses," Zhang Xuezhou corrected, "I'm seriously ill now, and my cousin has to take care of me!"

"Are you seriously ill?" Sima Xiangru asked curiously.

"My brain was opened by the imperial doctor, and I would fall asleep for a few days from time to time. At the moment, the only thing Li Shaojun mentioned can cure my illness," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Then you are really miserable!"

Sima Xiangru felt sad.

He had been blind for several years and felt various inconveniences. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xuezhou's life was not easy either.

Speaking of which, he was very curious about what happened when Zhang Xuezhou entered Prince Liang's mansion, and where he went with Prince Liang later.

However, Zhang Xuezhou's current situation was indeed a bit miserable, so he had to stop some small thoughts in his mind and instead persuade the new emperor to be more lenient on Zhang Xuezhou's conditions.

"This Sima Xiangru is also ignorant!"

The new emperor called some of his ministers to come. In addition to Sima Xiangru, Sima Tan and others were also among them.

When Sima Tan heard that these people were discussing about inviting Li Shaojun and wanted Li Shaojun to refine the Life and Creation Pill, Sima Tan thought it was all nonsense.

As Taishi Ling, he was only responsible for recording but not expressing opinions, and allowed the group of people to discuss there.

At the end of the negotiation, not only was Zhang Xuezhou not punished immediately, but he also got two good mounts, two more sums of money as transportation expenses on the road, and an official document from various government agencies to provide convenience.

"Your Majesty, Dongfang Shuo is a bachelor of Jinmamen. Under normal circumstances, he should join the imperial court and do something within his ability!"

Sima Tan didn't speak until Zhang Xuezhou received the order to retreat.

"Isn't he doing what he can at the moment?" the new emperor said with a smile.

Thinking about the problem of Zhang Xuezhou's private examination, Xinti felt that this guy should be able to lie down for at least half a year.

Instead of letting Zhang Xuezhou lie in Chang'an City in a daze, he might as well send the other person out to do something, which can be regarded as an effective use of the other person's leisure time.

Not to mention the two-month time limit mentioned by Sima Xiangru, the new emperor felt that it would be okay to recruit Li Shaojun to the court in half a year.

His behavior seemed like someone who was taken advantage of, but the new emperor never felt that he was at a disadvantage.

Zhang Xuezhou's illness left many imperial doctors helpless, and the new emperor knew without even thinking that the price of this life-creating elixir would be very high.

Giving Zhang Xuezhou the elixir to cure his illness was not a problem. The real problem was that he did not have the elixir.

Being able to cure a rare disease like Zhang Xuezhou's, the efficacy of this elixir must be beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Even if Zhang Xuezhou is given a great elixir, as long as there is still inventory left or the elixir recipe is in his possession, it will be earned by the new emperor.

Maybe at some point, he lacked such elixir.

Rather than cramming for something to happen, he would have no problem preparing in advance.
