Chapter 1985 Fengshan Treasure
As a person who has practiced the art of fortune-telling, Zhang Xuezhou's luck is pretty good under normal circumstances as long as he does not have any conflicts of interest with the emperor of Chang'an City.

If his interests are consistent with those of the emperor, there may even be an inexplicable promoting effect between the two.

The reason why he explained it from the heart was simply because Zhang Xuezhou had just arrived at the Pingyang Marquis Mansion by carriage, and he happened to run into the carriage of the new emperor going to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

Zhang Xuezhou thought there was nothing wrong and quickly reached out to say hello.

His greeting made the new emperor feel embarrassed and he almost turned around and left.

It is a terrible thing for an emperor to lose face in front of his subjects. The new emperor feels that if his subjects work hard and his promises are not fulfilled, it is very normal for his subjects to have doubts even if he has reasonable reasons.

But the new emperor didn't know how to explain it.

In short, his life was not as valuable as the Empress Dowager's, and he could not pay the reward that Li Shaojun demanded.

The only thing that was fortunate was that Li Shaojun entered Anle Palace and became a guest of honor in Anle Palace. After going back and forth for several times to adjust himself, his spirits and energy improved a lot.

"What a coincidence!"

Looking at Zhang Xuezhou who was saluting, the new emperor had to respond awkwardly.

"Are you here to see a sick child as well?" the new emperor took the initiative to ask.

"Actually, I came to see you," said Zhang Xuezhou.

"I was chased by that Gongsun Gui for dozens of miles. I have been recuperating for the past few days and my health has not been very good!"

The new emperor explained dryly and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

This made Li Guang, who was driving the carriage, extremely speechless. He felt that this minister was not like a minister, and the emperor was not like an emperor.

Of course, Li Guang hasn't been having a good time these days.

If he was guarding Anle Palace, Li Guang felt that he would be punished with a hundred lashes, and his salary for several years would be confiscated, or even demoted. If there was a major conflict of interest between him and Anle Palace, the fact that he was not well guarded would be enough to make him have no place in the Han Dynasty.

"He is not feeling well," Li Guang echoed, "We only found time to see the sick child when we were feeling better. I heard that the sick child was caught by Gongsun Gui and thrown to the ground!"

"He didn't die from the fall. Young Master Wei caught him," said Zhang Xuezhou.

"That was also a serious shock. The shock to this child is much more serious than that to an adult." Li Guang said: "We have been lying in bed for more than ten days. I am afraid that this child has been ill for a long time!"

"Check on the sick child first!"

The new emperor felt less embarrassed when he saw Li Guang, who was usually not very smart, come out of the predicament.

He signaled to Li Guang, who immediately stopped the carriage, took the key and went to open the gate of Pingyang Marquis' Mansion.

"Then I'll go take a look too!"

Zhang Xuezhou originally wanted to stuff the Six Talismans of the Taijie into the hands of the new emperor as a treasure, and then persuaded the other party to mention the benefits of the Six Talismans of the Taijie, and then left and went home.

But since he was already there, he looked at the baby he had delivered and found nothing wrong with him.

Li Shaojun once mentioned that the person who used the Confucian character "benevolence" was Huo Qubing, and Zhang Xuezhou was also quite curious about the character of this child.

When we pushed open the door of Pingyang Marquis Mansion, we found it to be a rather deserted place as usual.

This is not to say that there is no one in Pingyang Marquis' Mansion. There are still many flower slaves, riding slaves and others involved in Pingyang Marquis' Mansion. However, these people do not have the right to walk freely outside after dark and can only live in the resettlement housing of the Marquis' Mansion.

Lanterns were hung high in the marquis's mansion, and Li Guang found three sheep carts.

The sheep cart is pulled by two ewes, and there is a seat for one person at the back.

This kind of sheep has been trained hundreds or thousands of times to travel in fixed passages. It can be driven there with just a little pointing, making it extremely suitable for traveling on internal roads in the mansions of wealthy families.

It was the first time for Zhang Xuezhou to ride in such an aristocratic car. He couldn't help but marvel at it, thinking that wealthy families would enjoy it.

"We are warriors. Normally we can fly and jump. But today we ride on the sheep cart because you have arrived," said the new emperor.

"You are a patient, we have to take good care of you," said Li Guang.

"Oh, speaking of this disease..."

"See the patient first!" The new emperor felt bad when he heard Zhang Xuezhou open his mouth.

He felt that he was unlucky to see Zhang Xuezhou by chance in Pingyang Marquis' Mansion.

It would be bad for him to pay attention to Zhang Xuezhou, and it would be even worse for him to ignore him. The new emperor just felt that being an emperor was too difficult.

If he encountered a similar incident in the future, he felt that he would definitely need to add a prerequisite: as long as the Empress Dowager agreed, he could fully meet the requirements and would try his best to reward his subjects as long as he could provide it.

The new emperor was not a stingy person. He would punish those who deserved punishment and reward those who deserved reward. This was also the philosophy taught to him by Emperor Jing.

Now that the emperor has not fulfilled his promise, he owes favors to Zhang Xuezhou and others, which will make it difficult to control his ministers in the future and to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments.

"Let's not talk about illness," Li Guang said, looking back from the goat cart at the front, "Let bad luck stay away!"

"But we are going to see a doctor today!"

"It's about curing illness, not getting sick. If you get it wrong, the meaning will be completely different!"

"Yes, to cure diseases!"

The new emperor nodded repeatedly, even stopping using the familiar name he had used before.

"That still mentions being sick!"

Huo Qubing's name contains the word "disease" (illness) in it. Although it means curing disease and ensuring safety, it was undoubtedly an embarrassing topic at that time.

Li Guang began to whip the sheep with a small whip, while the new emperor touched his fake Chixiao sword to divert the embarrassment.

"I've been searching everywhere these days, and I found a treasure!"

Li Guang and the new emperor looked and behaved strangely. Zhang Xuezhou felt that the new emperor still had a conscience and was not so shameless as to deny his fault.

The new emperor was indeed a little careless when he agreed to the task, and his life was indeed worth the price, but the new emperor did not have control over the most advanced medicine of the Han Dynasty, and he could not compete for the medicine with a dying empress dowager, so as not to get a reputation of being unfilial.

Zhang Xuezhou did not keep pressing. He took out the Six Talismans of Taijie and began to introduce the treasure he had accidentally obtained.

Everyone looked awkward and reserved at this time. Zhang Xuezhou was not worried about being found out of his lie and mentioned that he had gone around and bought a treasure from an old farmer.

"After many identifications, we found that this was a transportation device," said Zhang Xuezhou.

"Transporter?"

Zhang Xuezhou's words cheered up the new emperor despite his embarrassment.

"Do you recognize the transport device?" the new emperor asked curiously.

"I have been in and out of the A-shaped room of the Wenying Pavilion of the King of Huainan, read many books, and recognized the transport device," Zhang Xuezhou said, "I have also identified the mysterious function of this transport device!"

"Oh?"

"This magic weapon has the function of pulling and gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. As long as the magic is used to drive it, the emperor's practice will be twice as effective with half the effort!"

"what?"

The new emperor had not taken it seriously before, thinking that the rags in the old farmer's possession were not worth much treasure.

But when Zhang Xuezhou mentioned the mystery of transporting equipment, his heart started pounding.

The art of movement is profound, and the new emperor has also dabbled in practicing it, but he doesn't dare to practice to too high a level.

He knew that the King of Huainan had a very high level of martial arts skills. As long as he had mastered the martial arts skills and was inferior to the other party, it would be hard to say who would win if a martial arts battle was launched.

In Emperor Jing's instructions, he mentioned that if the King of Huainan had not died of old age, or if Huainan had not been pacified, he should not practice his martial arts too high, lest his martial arts would be broken and he would fall into a series of misfortunes and suffer defeat.

But Zhang Xuezhou's taking out of this treasure completely disrupted the steps that Emperor Jing had previously set.

"This treasure..."

He looked at the Six Talismans of Taijie in Zhang Xuezhou's hand, and thought about the function of the treasure. Somehow he remembered the precious treasures that the Emperor Qin of the Qin Dynasty had used for the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai.
