A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 323: Immortal Medicine

Wang Ke's marriage was a political marriage.

This is okay, after all, more than [-]% of the princes and nobles back then were married.

As for if you want freedom in marriage, then give up everything in the family and don't enjoy the conveniences brought by the family, so that you can choose your own marriage.There are not none of these people, but they are pitifully few.

Since you enjoy the convenience of the family, you must naturally follow the family's arrangements.This is the normal situation in this era.

Of course, although the position of the crown princess has been chosen, if Wang Ke really likes someone, he can also make her a concubine.

Wang Ke knew this very well and had no objection to this political marriage.

What's more, he has already seen that the Xu family and the Zhang family are indeed extremely beautiful people, and he is very satisfied.As for what he would do if he met someone he liked?It's very simple, just take her as a concubine.

In Shangyang Palace, Wang Luo invited all the nobles and family members of Chang'an City, as long as they were in Luoyang, to come. The prince's wedding would definitely be a grand affair.

Xu Chao accepted the congratulations from everyone with a glowing face. At the same time, the family members who had always been good friends with him gathered around him to compliment him. However, he became more and more cautious. He had decided to submit a letter to resign as general tomorrow and then go home to take care of himself. Tian Nian.

At the same time, we should also take good care of the younger generations in the family and let them keep a low profile.

"Dangdangdang!"

As the melodious bell rang, the chamberlains shouted that Her Majesty and the Queen had arrived, and everyone immediately bowed and saluted.

"Hahaha, today is a happy time, no courtesy for you."

Wang Luo laughed and said, behind him were today's protagonists, Wang Ke and Xu Yan.

The two of them were dressed in fine clothes, the man was handsome and the woman was dignified and beautiful, just like a couple, and the officials immediately sent their blessings.

The prince's wedding was very successful, and with Wang Luo's support, the prince also had his own small class.

In the 16th year of Qianyuan reign of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Five years have passed since the prince's wedding, and Wang Luo's health has begun to deteriorate.Since last year, Wang Luo has asked the prince Wang Ke to assist him in handling government affairs. He even started asking the prince to help him go to the capital camp where he used to go every day.

The prince was a filial child. He sent people to visit famous doctors all over the country to treat the emperor's illness.Wang Luo's health is also getting better.

The emperor's poor health also allowed others to see opportunities, so some people began to recommend some famous alchemists to Wang Luo.

Alchemists have been active in various countries during the Zhou Dynasty. Since ancient times, the desire of princes and nobles to pursue immortality has never ceased.

Alchemists who are keen on refining elixirs are all their guests, but until today, no one has succeeded.

Alchemists are also proficient in medical skills and know how to maintain health. According to their idea, they must use various methods to achieve the goal of immortality.

The nobles recommended Xu Fu, an alchemist, to Wang Luo.After chatting with him, Wang Luo found that this man was indeed proficient in pharmacology, even better than the imperial doctors in the court.

According to the medicine he prepared and taught Wang Luo a set of movements, after practicing, Wang Luo's body actually improved and he could move on his own without support.

After seeing such an effect, Wang Luo was very happy and immediately awarded him a large reward, and also rewarded several nobles and ministers who recommended him.

Although Wang Luo is not afraid of death, if he can live a few more years, he can display more ambitions.

"Xu Qing, you cured my illness, and I want to reward you, but you don't want to be an official, and you don't want food and wealth, so what do you want?" Wang Luo asked with a smile. "Your Majesty, I don't know how to govern the people, and secondly, I don't know how to govern the army. I can't do anything, and I can't be an official. I am not short of wealth. I want to refine the elixir, and I ask for your support." Xu Fu said respectfully.

"Elixir!" After hearing this word, Wang Luo's heart trembled instantly.

"Yes, the elixir." Xu Fu continued: "Our alchemist lineage has been searching for and refining the elixir for thousands of years. After the hard work of our ancestors, we finally have the confidence to refine the elixir."

"It's just that the medicinal materials required for this elixir are too rare. I can't refine it with my own strength. I would like to ask for your Majesty's help in refining the elixir."

"After the elixir is refined, I will present it to His Majesty!"

Wang Luo hesitated for a while. On the one hand, he felt that the elixir was fake. On the other hand, he thought of his ancestor King Wen. His ancestor King Wen could become a god, so why couldn't he live forever?
Others may not believe it, but he has personally used the Divine Artifact of Destiny and communicated with his ancestors.If there is such a miraculous existence, does the elixir really exist?
But his reason told him that there was no elixir.

Xu Fu cured his disease, which made Wang Luo feel that his medical skills were superb, which gave him a glimmer of hope. What if, what if he could refine the elixir?
Wang Luo hesitated for a moment and quickly made a decision in his mind.Give it a try, it won’t cost much anyway, what if you succeed?

So Wang Luo ordered Xu Fu to be the imperial physician and preside over the refining of the elixir.

After the edict was issued, everyone in the court was shocked. Many people wrote letters to remonstrate. However, after Wang Luo read it, he did not reprimand or blame him. He just kept all the letters and said that he understood.

Prince Wang Ke was also shocked when he learned that the emperor wanted to refine the elixir. He had always read history books and knew all about this.How many people have been able to resist the elixir since ancient times?
This is a dead end.

Wang Ke did not hesitate and quickly went to find Da Zongzheng and tell him the matter.

Da Zongzheng looked very ugly after hearing this.He immediately went to Shangyang Palace with the prince to ask for an audience.

"Dazong is here, please take a seat." Wang Luo greeted enthusiastically.

"Your Majesty, I am here for the elixir." Da Zongzheng said straightforwardly.

Wang Luo nodded, and then said: "I didn't expect that a small thing would alarm Da Zongzheng. It's my fault."

Da Zongzheng said: "Your Majesty, you should know that the elixir is a rumor and cannot be trusted. Why did you order the alchemist to refine the elixir?"

"Dazongzheng, our ancestor King Wen can become a god, so why can't I refine the elixir?" Wang Luo said directly.

Da Zongzheng said coldly: "The ancestors did become gods, but your Majesty should know that there are historical records in my Wang family."

"What is recorded in the clan's history books?" Wang Luo grabbed Da Zongzheng's hand and asked.

"Historical books say there was an immortal holy king. Then, your majesty, can you tell me why there is a holy king appearing later?"

Wang Luo was also speechless: "That"

"Your Majesty also knows that our ancestor King Wen became a god, so do you still remember what is recorded in the history books?"

"What did you write?"

"In the autumn of the 50th year of King Huaiwen, King Wen passed away in Huai Palace!"

King Wen died!
Wang Luo immediately understood that his ancestor King Wen became a god after death, so other people naturally did not have immortality. The so-called elixir was a lie!
