Chapter 1555 "Elixir"

Wan Huojing was really confused. In his opinion, if he just killed a prince, it would be useless. As for the current emperor, it is impossible for him to pass the throne to the princess no matter what. "If the emperor does not die, how will the princess inherit the throne? Although the emperor is old, he is still very strong. If, if another prince or princess is born, then..."

Wan Huojing didn't finish his sentence, but Zeng Yi also understood what he meant, and the third child whispered from the side: "No way! How old is the old emperor and have that ability?"

The fourth child shook his head: "It's really hard to say, there may be something strange in this Jianghu, don't forget, the Tianshan child grandma of the Xiaoyao School was in her [-]s and [-]s back then, because the Changchun Gong is immortal. , looks like a little girl, if you want to say that she is still fertile, maybe that's not the case!"

When Wan Huojing heard that there was such a rejuvenating martial art in Jianghu, he became even more worried, "Why don't I find a chance to do it when I meet the emperor?"

"Don't pretend to be dead. The emperor is always protected by masters. You can't hold the knife stably. What's the difference from sending you to death! And didn't you say that the emperor can't die now, he's slowly Die, wait until we have a certain amount of power in the court before we can die!" Zeng Yi gave Wan Huojing a look and couldn't help but say.

"Then, what to do then?"

Zeng Yi and the others fell silent. After a while, the fourth child raised his head and said, "I have something to pay attention to, but I don't know if it can be done?"

"What attention, say it!"

"Hey, you should know that in fact, besides the pills that cure diseases and save people, and increase one's power, there is another kind of pills in the world."

Zeng Yi frowned, "What elixir? Poison elixir?"

The fourth child shook his head and continued with a smile: "Another kind of elixir, there is another name called elixir, which is made by ancient alchemists using natural minerals such as lead sand, sulfur, and mercury as raw materials, and smelted in a furnace. According to legend, if you take the elixir, you will be immune to all diseases and live forever. Therefore, in ancient China, there were many emperors who never tired of pursuing elixir."

"Elixir!" Zeng Yi's eyes lit up. Even people who don't understand history know that in ancient China, many emperors lost their lives because of this stuff.Especially due to the prosperity of Taoism, many people practiced alchemy in the name of Taoism, and the alchemy activity reached its peak.However, due to the high toxicity of the elixir, some emperors lost their lives in pursuit of immortality.In reality, the Tang Dynasty had 290 emperors during the 21 years from its establishment to its demise.Among the 21 emperors, at least 5 died of poisoning due to taking elixir.Such as Tang Taizong Li, but a rare wise emperor in history, this talented and generous emperor once laughed at Qin Huang Hanwu for being obsessed with alchemy and seeking elixirs when he was young, but in his later years because of serious illness, he also began to take elixirs. The refined "Pharmaceutical for Prolonging Life" caused his illness to worsen and he died at the age of 50.

"Yeah, I forgot about this. If the emperor's crown prince dies, the emperor's father will definitely want to live even more, and prolonging his own life is definitely his greatest wish. If this old guy starts taking elixir, then hahaha Haha!" Thinking of this, Zeng Yi suddenly felt that the idea of ​​the fourth child was too suitable!
"Then what if he really gets a life-extending pill? There are all kinds of weird pills in the world, who knows if there are any that can prolong life! The imperial court must have many treasures." The boss said worriedly .

"Hehe, you're overthinking this. Based on my professional knowledge, there are quite a few pills that can overdraw your life. There is no one who wants to prolong your life out of thin air. As for those treasures of heaven and earth, the emperor's old man is seriously aging. If he dares to take Tiancaidibao, he will die in minutes!"

Speaking of this, Zeng Yi looked at Wan Huojing and smiled: "You have to do it all the time, and you don't need to do anything, just find an opportunity to mention it to the emperor, and you can find a life-extending elixir That’s enough, the rest is just waiting to see the good show!”

"Well, if I have a chance, I'll mention it, but I can't make it too clear. If the ministers of the court know about this, I will definitely report it. I am a courtier! If I am suspected now, then once If the plan fails, there is no way out!" Wan Huojing is actually not optimistic about the elixir plan, in his opinion, if the emperor believes it, it would be too stupid, so he didn't want to expose himself in advance.

"You don't need to be so obvious, I just need you to mention it a little bit. If it doesn't work, you can be more tactful. I believe that with the current situation of the old emperor, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will never give up."

Wanhuo nodded, and was about to order something. Zeng Yi suddenly noticed the movement and waved his hand immediately. The three bosses immediately silenced. After a while, there was a knock on the door, followed by: "Master, the food is ready gone."

Wan Huojing looked at Zeng Yi and the others, and replied, "Understood, you go down first, I'll go there later."

After the servant left, Zeng Yi looked at Wan Huojing, and said in a low voice: "Do you have any other safe place here? It's not a solution to stay in your bedroom all the time! If someone notices this, you can It can't be washed off."

Wan Huojing also felt that it was inappropriate for the four of them to stay in his bedroom. He frowned and pondered for a moment, "Although there are few people in Wanfu, servants come and go from many places, and only the ancestral hall in the backyard, besides me, No one can go in, if you don't mind the four, go and hide first."

"Don't dislike it, it would be nice to have a place, but you should find a way to get us some food."

"Don't worry, every few days, I will personally go to exchange a batch of tributes. There is no problem with eating."

If you want to go to the ancestral hall, you have to do it at night. There are many servants coming and going in the Wanfu in broad daylight. If these people find that there are four people in Wanhuojing's bedroom, Zeng Yi can be sure that within two days, all the mansions in the capital will All the subordinates will know about this, and gossip is very powerful among these people.

After eating, in the afternoon, Wan Huojing rushed to the palace again. He is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he has too many things to do, especially the old emperor, who knows that the people who attacked him were the four kingdoms of Western Xia, Tubo, and Persia. After the alliance, the angry emperor clamored to declare war on the Four Kingdoms and to avenge his son, the crown prince. Fortunately, the court officials were not overwhelmed by anger, and it was not a wise choice to attack the Four Kingdoms at the same time, especially now, There is clear evidence that the Four Nations are definitely an alliance.
