Twenty years later, the capital.

Emperor Zhenghe, that is, the former King of Qi, was terminally ill and could not be saved. But he couldn't give up the prosperity of the Wei State, let alone the monstrous power in his hands, so he grabbed the sleeve of a young man guarding the bedside, and said with all his might, "National teacher, go to Liangjiang to find the ghost doctor!" Sue him, as long as I can prolong my life for twenty years, no, thirty years, I am willing to pay any price! ”

The young man was dressed in a pure white robe, and his blue hair was tied behind his head with a hosta, revealing a handsome and holy face. He seemed to be very disgusted by the touch of others, even if this person was the most powerful emperor in the world, he gently but firmly brushed the other party away, wiped the place where he was held with a handkerchief repeatedly, and said arrogantly, "Even this seat can't cure you, what's the use of finding someone else?" The national teacher is here, but the emperor is willing to seek the near and far, does he intend to humiliate this seat? ”

Emperor Zhenghe showed an anxious look and repeatedly emphasized, "You don't understand, you don't understand anything!" Go to the ghost doctor, he is the only one in the world who can save me! ”

Because the palace turned into a demon nest back then was too shocking, the ghost doctor put a ban on everyone, but whenever anyone mentioned it, even if it was just half a word, it would rot their tongues in an instant. Therefore, when he left with King Yu, no one dared to mention the word "ghost doctor", and even the people of Liangjiang did not dare to make a mistake because they were too awe-inspiring and worshiping. Over time, he seemed to have been forgotten, from a famous ghost doctor, to a phantom that only existed in the memories of others.

Emperor Zhenghe's generation kept him secret, and the next generation and the next generation had never heard of his name, let alone his treacherous and Taoist teachings. It was only because he was afraid of him that Emperor Zhenghe would go around visiting the folk masters to collect them for his own use, and finally found the young man in front of him five years ago.

The man's Taoist name Xuanqing, is the orthodox Maoshan sect descendant, very talented in Taoism, only twenty-five or six has cultivated a Jiazi skill, can be said to be the first person in Taoism. In order to compete with the ghost doctor, and to let the king see that there is no one around him, Emperor Zhenghe specially set up the position of national teacher, and provided the man with good food and drink by his side. However, these are just self-deception, whenever they see Xuanqing dancing tired and tired for a long time before summoning a palm-sized dark cloud, the young courtiers are amazed, respectful and awe-inspired, but Emperor Zhenghe and a group of old ministers sigh secretly.

This kind of mana is really not even one ten-thousandth of the ghost doctor's, and it is just a joke and generosity to say it. But something is better than nothing, although Xuanqing is useless, it is pleasing to the eye when placed there, and it can also deter the ghostly spirit, so make do with it.

However, Emperor Zhenghe regretted it, regretted not being at the beginning! If it weren't for the fact that he was too polite to Xuanqing, and found all the treasures in the world just to improve his mana, he would not have cultivated him into the character of no one in his eyes now. Did he think that if he regarded him as a national teacher, he would really be able to climb to the emperor's head and be powerful? Who gave him the guts?

Yes, who else but the crown prince can give him such guts? The prince wishes that I would die soon, so where will he cure me? Emperor Zhenghe's mind was unprecedentedly clear, and he knew that he had raised the national teacher too high, and these people around him were afraid that they would not dare to disobey his orders. He has no other way to choose than to die slowly.

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhenghe regretted it and wanted to grope for the waste imperial edict hidden under the pillow, but he heard Xuan Qing sneer, "Don't look for it, the emperor, the edict has been burned down by this seat." If you hadn't had this thought, you might have lived for a few more years. ”

"You, you hurt me!" Zhenghe Emperor's eyes were split.

"yes, but so what? Whoever I Xuanqing wants to die, whoever has to die, not to mention those useless imperial doctors, even if Da Luo Jinxian comes, he can't save you. Xuan Qing whispered.

Emperor Zhenghe almost wanted to vomit blood, but finally regained his calm. Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, he knows the character of the prince best, not to mention cruelty, but also extremely rigid and self-serving, the more you don't let him do anything, the more he has to do, arrogant and lawless. But sooner or later he will understand that there are more people who are more arrogant than him, but they disdain to mingle with the world. When you meet such a person, you have to lie on your stomach if it is a tiger, you have to coil on your stomach, how to be humble and how to deal with it, otherwise you will cut off all your wings and fall from the clouds to the abyss.

Xuanqing is the same, he puts on a look of being a Taoist immortal all day long, and he really regards himself as the first person in the world. As everyone knows, compared with the ghost doctor back then, he is not even worthy of lifting shoes.

Emperor Zhenghe, who was almost dead, suddenly laughed, and the more he laughed, the louder he became, and muttered, "He is worthy of being my good son, and his methods are even more powerful than I did back then." Okay, well, put Wei in his hands, I am finally relieved! ”

Xuanqing couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Zhenghe Emperor, and it was clear that he wanted to strangle himself and the prince to death one moment, but the next moment he was relieved and satisfied, as if what the prince did was in his arms, but it didn't matter, anyway, he would die in a few hours, and he couldn't shake the good situation.

When the prince heard the news, he was suspicious and hurried to see his father for the last time. Emperor Zhenghe was neither angry nor resentful, but just took the prince's hand and told him repeatedly, "The two rivers can't move, and the two rivers can't move." I respect your Seventh Emperor Uncle, don't offend him! ”

The prince pretended to cry, but he didn't reply a word, and when he hung his head to wipe away his tears, Emperor Zhenghe was already dead, and a gleam in his eyes quickly dissipated. The death knell in the palace rang for a long time, the mourning was everywhere, and the people who came and went to the palace took off the colored silk inside and outside the palace one by one and replaced it with white flags.

The crown prince walked to the outer hall with the support of the national teacher to calm his feelings, and the inner hall was surrounded by palace maids, who were sorting out the remains of Emperor Zhenghe and changing into funeral clothes.

"The two rivers can't be moved? Such a fertile land, such a high tax income, and even the most abundant salt and iron production area, my father actually told the two rivers that could not be moved. Hmph, is it really an incompetent person like him? The prince's tone was extremely disdainful.

"You are now the new emperor, what are you calling Lone?" Xuan Qing smiled lazily, "Waiting for you to get on. The two rivers were taken back, so as to deter the Manchu civil and military forces. ”

The prince held Xuanqing's fingertips and had an intimate attitude, "Only Qing'er knows me best." The side of the couch does not allow others to snore, the old immortal can endure it for twenty years, and I can't bear it for a day. After the king is eradicated, I will take you back to the Maoshan Sect and let you ascend to the position of the sect master in style. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xuanqing was secretly happy in his heart.

At the same time, King Gong was taking advantage of the chaos to go to King Su's mansion to discuss important matters with the imperial brother. King Gong and King Su are also very discerning, and they once promoted King Qi to the throne. , and the other brothers competed with King Qi for the throne and were cut off by him one by one. I thought that I could exchange my life for stability from the dragon's work, but I didn't expect that the king of Qi would unload the mill and kill the donkey, and kill King Gong's children one by one, but instead passed on one of his sons to him, inheriting the throne of Prince Gong and the great family. King Su was even more miserable, he was imprisoned in the palace for self-examination on several charges indiscriminately, and after 20 years, he failed to step out of the mansion, and his wife, son, and daughter-in-law all died of depression, leaving only a little grandson to rely on him for his life.

In the end, the two of them are nobles in Tianhuang, even if they are pulled out of their minions, they still retain some power, and they take advantage of the opportunity of Zheng and Emperor He's serious illness to plan to leave Beijing. The crown prince is worthy of being the son of Emperor Zhenghe, and he is more ruthless than his father. bit, I'm afraid it won't be a few days to live.

Closing the doors and windows, King Gong shook his head and sighed, "Regret, I really regret not being at the beginning!" If I had known that the second child was so vicious, I would never have helped him ascend the throne back then. ”

"At that time, the twelfth (King Jing) and the sixth (King Li) also persuaded me to go to Liangjiang to defect to the seventh, I thought he was willing to lose the face of the royal family, and he refused to go, otherwise I don't know how comfortable I am now." King Su's expression was very yearning. As soon as the emperor died, Lao Qi ran away with the ghost doctor, and then the Wei State was in chaos, when all the brothers rushed to the capital, King Jing and King Li dragged their families to Liangjiang to settle down, and they didn't even want their own domain.

Once upon a time, he and King Gong sneered at the two, but now that they look at it, they are the most far-sighted. There is no open and secret fighting, and there is no suspicion and suppression, they live freely and safely, and I heard that they are now full of children and grandchildren. Emperor Zhenghe was narrow-minded and could not tolerate people, and he also sent troops to besiege Liangjiang several times, but the army was always overturned by the huge waves on the river, losing hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and finally failed. There are ghost doctors in the town, and the two rivers are tantamount to the pure land of the world, and the war and panic cannot be affected at all.

Therefore, King Gong and King Su were willing to give up decades of business and go to Liangjiang to settle down. Lao Qi is broad-minded, benevolent and righteous, how has he treated King Jing and King Li for so many years, and people with discerning eyes have looked at it, and it is the most correct choice to take refuge in him.

"The second child is dead, the prince will definitely call the seventh child to the capital for funeral, and then take the opportunity to eradicate it, and we will be able to catch up with them at that time. As long as the ghost doctor is willing to take action, it will not be difficult to take all of us out of the capital. That Xuanqing still thought that no matter how deep he was in the Tao, he would dance a few great gods and summon a few clouds to treat himself as a real immortal, but he didn't know that everyone was laughing at him in private. King Gong's tone was contemptuous.

"It's only us old guys who know how powerful the ghost doctor is, and I'm afraid I won't even hear of his name in the next generation. That's fine, but it can save a lot of trouble. Did the ghost doctor promise to take us away? He has a somewhat eccentric temperament and is difficult to please. King Su was a little worried.

"I scavenged a lot of treasures and sent them to Liangjiang, the seventh refused to let go, that day I caught a ghost face fish, he actually wrote a letter, saying that he could take us away, but the premise is to take the ghost face fish to exchange. Now I offer the fish as a treasure in the house, lest it die. King Gong scratched the back of his head, his face full of confusion. You know, the ghost fish is a kind of deep-sea fish, with a green face and fangs, extremely ugly, and it looks like it has hit a ghost at a glance, except that the fish is particularly delicious, there is nothing surprising. Lao Qi didn't want anything, he just wanted it, and he didn't know what to do.

King Su was also puzzled, and after discussing for a quarter of an hour, he had to put it away. They would never have imagined that there is a species in the world called "foodies" that would be willing to pay any price for the legendary top delicacy. And Youshu is a foodie among foodies, saving a few people is just a gesture for him, if the ghost fish is missed, I am afraid that I will not be able to touch the second one in this life, which is more important at a glance-

After the crown prince succeeded to the throne, he set the name of the era as Shengyuan, and issued a holy decree to summon all the vassal kings and feudal officials to return to Beijing. Emperor Zhenghe had withdrawn the feudal lands when he was in power, and only the fruits of Liangjiang remained, but there were three vassal kings living on the territory of Liangjiang, namely King Jing, King Li and King Yu. The first two are not to be feared, but the king of Yu had to be removed, so he was eloquent and strategic, and governed the two rivers more prosperous than the capital, and also enjoyed high prestige among the people.

The private soldiers of the king of Yu were brave and good at fighting, and they occupied the right time and place, so it was difficult to capture them in one fell swoop, and in the early days of ascending the throne, they sought a "stable" word, which was not suitable for war. Therefore, Emperor Shengyuan thought about it and decided to take advantage of the time when King Yu entered Beijing to get rid of him secretly. He knows very well how much ability Xuanqing has, and it is easy for God to let a person disappear without knowing it, and he is afraid that they will not dare to come when they hear about Xuanqing's prestige.

If King Gong and King Su could hear Emperor Shengyuan's heart, they would definitely laugh at him for thinking too much, that lord really wasn't afraid of anyone. After the holy decree was issued, King Yu really took King Li and King Jing to the capital for funeral, and by the way participated in the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Shengyuan.

Emperor Shengyuan was very curious about this uncle of the Seven Emperors, the other party was just a small vassal king, and his father was the lord of the Wei State, and he had never fallen behind in the fight between the two, what was it? Could it be that he has three heads and six arms? Because of this curiosity, he personally went to the gate of the palace to greet King Yu, and then was shocked.

If you do the math, this person should be approaching fifty, right? How do you look so young? The two people behind him should be King Jing and King Li, but they both have gray temples and are old, and they stand with him like two generations. In addition to his excessively young and handsome appearance, Emperor Shengyuan also found that he was holding a male pet, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

This is the father's henchman? But that's it! Emperor Shengyuan squinted contemptuously. Xuanqing, who was standing behind him, was already murderous.

Youshu didn't care about the death of Emperor Zhenghe, nor who would ascend the throne, let alone that murderous gaze. He just wanted to know that the ghost-faced fish he had been thinking about for a long time was still there, so he secretly pulled the sleeve of his master's coat and asked him to quickly send off Emperor Shengyuan, and then go to King Gong's Mansion to have a look.

King Yu patiently greeted Emperor Shengyuan, and then asked to go out of the palace to see a few brothers. In the eyes of Emperor Shengyuan, several imperial uncles are already equivalent to dead people, and they can gather if they want to, there is no need to obstruct them, there is Xuanqing, even if they run to the sky, they can still kill them in an instant.

"I'm going to order someone to prepare a car for Uncle Huang." He waved his hand generously, "This time I ascended the throne, I am ready to show grace to the world, and the Fourth Emperor Uncle (King Su) will be able to lift the ban in a few days, and I also ask the Seventh Emperor Uncle to bring him a message, so that he can be less restless." ”

The king pretended to be grateful, and shook his head and sneered when he left the palace gate, but as soon as the car drove halfway, many poisonous snakes fell from the roof of the car inexplicably, opened their mouths wide, revealing their fangs dripping with venom, and pounced on people. King Jing and King Li were used to living a stable life, and they were so frightened for a while that they were scattered, but King Yu was keen, and he pressed the young man under him and protected him firmly without thinking about it.

"These are not real snakes, but evil creatures that have been transformed by evil spirits, and once bitten they will be bedridden, and even the most brilliant doctors will not be able to see the clues. This is the evil method of Taoism, and it should be done by that national teacher. Youshu shook out an exorcism talisman from his cuff and lit it, and turned into three cups of talisman water for a few people to drink.

The poisonous snakes all turned into mist and dissipated, and the cold feeling that penetrated deep into the bone marrow was replaced by a warm current, and the king of the servant straightened the sideburns in the young man's ear and said, "Our good nephew is an anxious son, and he can't even wait for a moment, and he started it as soon as he entered Beijing, which is really a bit rampant. ”

"It is said that the national teacher next to him is a true god descending to earth, and his mana is strong, and he has no fear." Liwang's words were contemptuous.

"If it were me, I wouldn't be able to wait. Revenge cannot be delayed overnight, otherwise it will turn sour. Youshu climbed out of her master's arms and lifted the curtain to summon, "Come back." "A paper crane flew from the direction of the palace, with a drop of blood on its pointed beak and a hair on it.

"When did you release it?" King Yu smiled and caught the crane.

"When Xuanqing looked at you with murderous eyes, I let it go. No matter how much he harms you, I will return it to him a hundred times and a thousand times, and those who dare to touch me will not weigh how many catties and taels they have. Youshu straightened her small chest, and her expression was slightly meaningful. In this life, the master is covered by him.

The king chuckled again and again, lowered his head and kissed the young man's sweet honey. mouth, sighed, "My family is really powerful, if it weren't for you, my life would be miserable." ”

You're a miserable fart! You are the luckiest of the brothers! King Jing and King Li shook their heads, and the corners of their mouths twitched. Cramp.

Youshu was very comfortable by this sycophant, hugged the master's head and gnawed for a while, and then put the blood droplets and hair on the paper crane into a small bottle, refined it with a secret method, and wrote the birthday of Emperor Shengyuan on the yellow rune paper, and stuffed it together.

As soon as it was finished, King Gong's Mansion arrived, and the much older King Gong stood at the door to greet him, accompanied by a handsome and thin young man. The young man is the sixth son of Zheng and the emperor, and his life. The mother was just a lowly singer who died in an avalanche after giving birth. He had no mother to take care of, and he had no powerful family, so he was naturally selected by Emperor Zhenghe to succeed. Because of this, he escaped the persecution of Emperor Shengyuan and became the only surviving prince of the dynasty.

Sensing that King Gong was quite cautious, he also lowered his posture as much as possible and stepped forward to salute the imperial uncles. However, he soon discovered that the reason why King Gong was so humble was not because of King Gong, but because of the young man beside him. The moment the boy appeared, his lips moved, and he spat out four silent words—Lord Ghost Doctor.

can make the prince of the dignified call "adult", what is the origin of the other party? The six princes' hearts were pounding, and they didn't know in the end.

"Is the ghost-faced fish still there?" Youshu stepped forward and asked.

"Yes, of course, I've fattened up a little bit lately. Come in! King Gong stretched out his hand to invite, and his attitude was panicked.

Youshu led the master and walked quickly, passing by a thatched toilet, and suddenly raised his forehead and said, "I almost forgot, there are dirtier and smellier toilets in your house?" ”

"How can I let you go to that kind of place, there are gong barrels, inlaid with gold, and sprinkled with incense powder, so that you will not be contaminated with half of the bad luck." King Gong slapped his ass lightly, which gave the six princes goosebumps. Where is this hospitality, it is clearly for the Bodhisattva.

"I'm going to a bad place." Youshu raised the small porcelain vase in her hand.

King Gong came to his senses, and hurriedly led him to the toilet used by the subordinates, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you going to rectify?" What is the charter? "Who is so unlucky, as soon as he comes, he is targeted by this true god, isn't it my good nephew? Thinking about it like this, I seem to have some irrepressible joy in my heart.

"Fang Cai Ji Donglin (Emperor Shengyuan) instructed Xuanqing to assassinate me, and I won't kill him, let him be unlucky for a lifetime first, and then slowly liquidate it in the future." Youshu's tone was flat, as if it was just a trivial matter to make someone unlucky for a lifetime.

The sixth prince secretly breathed, and said in his heart, could this person also be a warlock? I just don't know which one is better than him or the national teacher?

After thinking about it, the thatched toilet had arrived, and Youshu used stones to set up a yin gathering array, and set up a phantom array on the periphery to ensure that no servants would come in by mistake to contaminate the bad luck, so he threw the small bottle into the smelly thatched pit, and felt that it was not enough to throw a few yin ghost talismans down, and promised to make this place the most evil place in the Wei country.

The soul guide refined from essence blood and hair was suppressed here, and the Saint Yuan Emperor would only become more and more unlucky. There is a saying that when people are unlucky, they will even stuff their teeth when they drink saliva, which is about this kind of process.

Youshu led everyone out, and when he looked back, the thatched house had disappeared, and he would never be able to find it unless he cultivated higher than him. King Jing is a master who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and begged, "My lord, what kind of unlucky method is Ji Donglin's house?" Let's take a look? ”

Youshu did not shy away from the six princes, took out a small mirror from his sleeve pocket, and pinched a trick. The sixth prince and King Gong are like father and son, and this time they are also ready to leave Beijing with him, but they were going to avoid it, but they were pulled by King Gong to look at it. The mirror showed the tall figure of Emperor Shengyuan, who was walking up the steps of the Qianqing Palace step by step firmly and slowly, followed by a group of courtiers, who seemed to be ready to discuss the enthronement ceremony. Seeing that there was only one last step left, he slipped and rolled down on the soles of his feet, the crown was shattered, the dragon robe was torn open a few times, and his teeth were knocked off by the hard floor tiles, and the blood flowed.

The ministers hurriedly helped him up, and when they looked at him, they couldn't help but have subtle expressions. It's not good to lose any tooth, but to lose two front teeth, they can't imagine how the emperor will speak in the future. This is too detrimental to the prestige of the Son of Heaven! Emperor Shengyuan felt something, touched the bare gums with his fingers, his face became extremely ugly, and after driving the ministers away, he immediately ran to the Ming and Qing Dynasty Palace to find a way for the national teacher.

Xuanqing couldn't even be a "living dead", so how could he make him grow his teeth again, so he had to sprinkle some medicinal powder to help him stop the bleeding. Emperor Shengyuan looked in the mirror repeatedly, and secretly said a few words, and found that the pronunciation was really leaking, so he smashed the furnishings in the hall. It is conceivable how "eye-catching" he will be at the enthronement ceremony a few days later.

King Jing smiled so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist, and even the taciturn six princes curled the corners of their lips.

Youshu didn't think it was funny, and said seriously, "This is just the beginning." In the first few days, I suffered some minor injuries, and the more I got to the back, the worse the bad luck became, and disasters came one after another, not to mention the possibility of losing my teeth, and even breaking my neck. ”

The six princes gradually smiled, feeling inexplicably frightened in their hearts.
