Capital Datang

In order to seek longevity, Qin Shihuang did not hesitate to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to seek the "medicine" of immortality, and he also set a bad example for future emperors. Countless emperors went further and further on the road of pursuing longevity, and even abandoned it for this. Not all the emperors who have neglected the government and pursued longevity were stupid. On the contrary, there were some very wise emperors who would make such mistakes in their later years, such as Li Shimin, a generation of heroes.

Not long after Li Yin returned to Taiwan from Yangzhou, he received news from Chang'an that his father, Li Shimin, had started taking Wushisan, and had raised a group of Taoist priests in the palace to help him refine pills. "Medicine", and even secretly sent people around to search for alchemy materials, even some overseas businessmen knew about it, and the prince's letter of dismissal brought the latest chapter.

Regarding this situation, although many ministers in the DPRK persuaded them, because Wei Zheng had passed away, Fang Xuanling and Li Jing were old and sick, and Li Zhi and Xiao Yu were still on their way back to Chang'an. People can't persuade Li Shimin at all, so someone thought of Li Yin and wrote to him to tell him about it, hoping that Li Yin could persuade Li Shimin.

"Everyone thinks how to deal with this matter. Is it possible that I really want to go back to Chang'an?" Li Min hastily called Wang An, Lu Hong and others to come to think of a solution. Li Shimin is his father and also supports him overseas. The biggest boost to development, so Li Yin does not want to see Li Shimin's health problems than anyone else.

"Your Highness, don't worry, His Majesty the Emperor has just started taking the elixir, and there are some ministers admonishing him, so for the time being, His Majesty is still very cautious about taking the elixir, we still have time to prepare!" Lu Hong was the first to stand up and speak.Capital Datang 592

"That's right, Your Highness must not 'disturb' the situation. Although Lord Wei has passed away, there are still some upright ministers in the court, especially Fang Xiang and Wei Gong are still there. His Highness the Crown Prince and the others must be returning to Chang'an soon. Now we need to write a letter to all three of them, and then unite to advise His Majesty, if not, then we can only let His Highness go back to Chang'an in person!" Cui Wei also said.He is now in charge of the justice of the Qi Palace, and also serves as the governor of Taiwan.

Li Yin nodded helplessly when he heard Cui Wei's words, and now this is the only way he can think of.

But at this moment, Wang An, who was in charge of government affairs, said with a smile: "Your Highness, actually it is not difficult to persuade His Majesty. Has Your Highness forgotten that there is still one person in the palace who can influence His Majesty?"

"Imperial Palace?" Li Yin was taken aback for a moment, then slapped his head, and then laughed. "This king is confused. If the queen mother speaks out to persuade her, it is indeed possible to change the father's mind!"

When Lu Hong and others heard the conversation between Wang An and Li Yin, they immediately woke up.Just now they were only thinking of admonishing Li Shimin in the court, but they forgot that if the court fails, there are people in the harem who can do it. After all, Empress Changsun has always been respected by the emperor, and her words carry more weight than ordinary courtiers up.

Think of Empress Changsun.Li Yin finally calmed down, and he analyzed the matter carefully, especially the reason why Li Shimin took the elixir. As a result, Li Yin suddenly thought that Li Shimin was 48 years old this year, and the peak of his entire life had already passed.And it started to go downhill, and the energy must be not as good as before, and Li Shimin must have felt this.With his character.He will definitely refuse to accept old age, so the reason why he took the elixir may not be to seek longevity, but probably just to restore some of the energy of his youth, so as to show that he is not old.

Think about it.Li Yin finally breathed a sigh of relief, based on his understanding of Li Shimin.Ninety percent of the above analysis may be the real reason why Li Shimin took the elixir, and if the reason is found, it will be much easier to think of a solution.

However, Li Yin immediately thought that if the reasons he analyzed were true, then although Empress Changsun could persuade him once, she would not be able to persuade him forever. If you still take the elixir, there is really no way out, so the top priority now is to let Li Shimin face the fact that he is aging, and there is also the danger of taking the elixir, these two points are the key , but it is not an easy task to do so.

At that moment, Li Yin explained the reasons he had analyzed and the two keys to solving this matter, and asked Wang An and the others to think about it.After all, a person's ability is limited, and only by gathering everyone's wisdom can we better solve the problem.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang An suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Highness's analysis is very reasonable, I believe this should be what His Majesty thinks in his heart, as for letting His Majesty face the fact that he is aging, or take a pill In fact, as long as one of these two things can be done, it is enough to make His Majesty change his mind, but in comparison, I think it is easier for His Majesty to realize the danger of the pill."

As soon as Wang An's words fell, Wang Zihao, who hadn't spoken all this time, suddenly stood up and bowed: "His Royal Highness, a Persian merchant's ship was seized at Shicheng Port a while ago, and a batch of strange "medicine" was found on board their ship. And there is a warrant signed by His Majesty the Emperor in his hand, but the batch of so-called "drugs" is really weird. The officials who inspected didn't know whether this kind of thing was poisonous? So they reported it out of prudence, and the ministers sent these The "drug" has been withheld for the time being, and I plan to find out before we talk about the latest chapter of Da Taoyuan."

After Li Yin left Chang'an last time, Wang Zihao also came to Taiwan from Chang'an, and now he is in charge of the business development of various places under Li Yin's rule. Now he has become one of the heavyweights in Taiwan's officialdom.

Hearing Wang Zihao's words, Li Min's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "Zihao, are you sure the other party is holding a warrant signed by the emperor himself?"

"Your Highness, don't worry, the other party's warrant is indeed true, and there is also a Taoist priest in the palace who is in charge of the "drug" procurement this time. Now all the "drugs" and people have been sent Go to Taiwan for inspection, if there are no accidents, you will be sent back to Datang after a few days." Wang Zihao said with certainty.

"Okay! Pass on the king's warrant and immediately send those "drugs" to the palace. I will test it myself. As for the Taoist priest, I will also bring it with me. I will interrogate it myself!" Li Min said excitedly, the Taoist priest It came just in time.

"I obey!" Wang Zihao agreed, turned around and went out to pass on Li Yin's order.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yin ordered people to go to the medical school again, and found Cui Mengxue and several learned old doctors in the college. First, they asked them to help identify the "drug" medicine. In addition, Li Yin wanted to ask the Taoist priest. What kind of elixir is Li Shimin planning to refine?What materials are needed?These all need professional help to analyze.

Wang Zihao moved very quickly. The batch of "drugs" were sent to the palace first. There were seven or eight large boxes in total. When Li Yin and the others curiously opened a large box containing the "medicines", they found There were rows of neatly arranged small jade boxes. Because he was worried that it might be poisonous, an old doctor from the medical school wore gloves. Then he reached out to pick up a small jade box and opened it, only to find a golden ointment inside. shape.

"Aphrodisiac!" As a result, the old doctor from the medical school immediately yelled out in surprise. At this time, Cui Mengxue and other old doctors also surrounded him. After their identification, they confirmed that this thing was produced in Persia and Rome. Other places of the drug.Capital Datang 592

"A Furong, why is this name so familiar?" Li Min rubbed his ears, feeling as if he had heard this name somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it when he thought about it carefully, so he had to ask again, "Mengxue, What is this thing for, is it poisonous?"

Cui Mengxue has also done some research on Afulan, so she replied immediately after hearing this: "His Royal Highness, Afulan is originally a kind of medicinal material that can treat abdominal pain, dysentery and other diseases. It was originally produced in Persia and other places. The plant is called Nessence Grass by the Persians. Because of its beautiful flowers and colors, it is also planted in the Tang Dynasty, but it is mostly used for ornamental purposes, and the medicinal drugs are generally imported from Persia. It’s just that I have asked Sun Taiyi about the alchemy of Taoism, but I have never heard of any kind of elixir that requires the use of Aphrodisiac!”

"A Furong, Wangyoucao, beautiful flower color?" Li Yin seemed to have discovered something from these characteristics, his brows were furrowed and he lowered his head to ponder, but then he raised his head suddenly, and cursed immediately, "I "Fuck", what kind of bullshit drug, isn't this fucking opium?"

Li Yin finally remembered the origin of the opium, but then he was furious. Now he doesn't need to know what kind of elixir the Taoist priests in the palace are going to refine, just relying on their tribute to Li Shimin's opium, It is enough to scrape them thousands of times.

"Opium?" Cui Mengxue and Wang An were all at a loss. They didn't understand why Li Yin's expression suddenly changed, and why he was so angry?

At this moment, Wang Zihao led a Taoist priest into the main hall of the palace, bowed and reported to Li Min: "His Royal Highness, the imperial palace enshrines the Taoist priest Huo Yuanzi and the Persian businessman Ashan Road!"

"Okay, okay! Come here, drag me down and unload eight pieces!" Li Yin was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, but it happened that these two guys bumped into the muzzle of the gun, so he didn't even ask, and immediately wanted to let People cut them off.After all, he knew better than anyone else the dangers of opium, and they even dared to blatantly offer it to Li Shimin. Fortunately, he met him, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

But Li Yin was obviously dazzled by anger, and he didn't know that opium appeared very early, but opium smoking appeared very late. In the beginning, opium appeared as a kind of "drug" However, the opium purchased by the other party may only be used as an ordinary "drug", so the death penalty cannot be judged for the other party.
