Chapter 362: Immortality (1)
The emperor visited the garden every day to set up a banquet for fun, and the mood was quite happy.
Daoist Yu has been guarding the alchemy furnace, and it is inconvenient for the emperor to ask at any time. Every day when Wei Yan came to diagnose the pulse of peace, the emperor would ask about the progress and situation of the refining of the Immortal Pill.
In front of the emperor, Wei Yan neither exaggerated nor degraded the Taoist chief, but only truthfully said what he saw.
"Immortal Master Yu is very proficient in the alchemy of medicinal materials, and the selection and dosage are very precise."
"Several other immortal masters are also extremely dedicated to alchemy."
"Several Taoist children guarding the Dan furnace were divided into three shifts, and they stayed by the Dan furnace from early in place, never slacking off."
Etcetera.
The emperor was very satisfied with Wei Yan's performance. Privately, he said to King Yan: "I asked Imperial Physician Wei to supervise the progress of alchemy, and it was indeed the right move. Imperial Physician Wei was not jealous of the Immortal Master, and all the circumstances were reported truthfully. I am so gratified! ”
King Yan smiled: "Yes! There are such loyal and capable people around his father, and his sons and ministers are also happy for their father. ”
Forty-nine days have passed in a blink of an eye. The Immortal Pill has finally been practiced.
Daoist Yu led a group of Taoist priests to offer Dan.
The refined Immortal Pill is a faint red, round and shiny, about the size of a bean, and exudes a burst of fragrance. At first glance, you can see that it is not ordinary.
"Thanks to the emperor's blessing, this furnace of Immortal Pill has been successfully refined. A total of 60 Dan pieces. Yu Daochang has worked hard for more than a month, he is not emaciated and haggard, his face is still ruddy, and his voice is clear and powerful: "You only need to take one Changsheng Pill every day, and if you take it for a month, you can prolong your life for ten years!" ”
The emperor's eyes lit up: "What Immortal Master Yu said is true?" Does it really work like that? ”
Yu Daochang smiled proudly, his smile was full of self-confidence: "In front of the emperor, how dare poor Dao have half a word of lie." ”
"Poor Dao has been studying hard for decades before he developed this elixir pill. At the age of eighty, he began to refine the elixir of eternal life and take it. Now it's been twenty years, and I've never been sick again, my gray hair has turned black, and my body is getting stronger and stronger. ”
"Hearing is false, seeing is believing. I also asked the emperor to order the imperial doctor to check the pill and take it as soon as possible, so that it can also be effective as soon as possible. ”
The emperor smiled happily: "Okay, as long as the Immortal Pill is indeed effective, I will definitely be rewarded." ”
Daoist Yu respectfully thanked him.
The emperor immediately ordered someone to summon Wei Yan and Imperial Physician Zhou to come, and ordered the two to take ten immortal pills for inspection.
……
According to the practice of the palace, only five of the ten elixirs were taken for inspection, and the other five should be archived for future inspection.
Imperial Physician Zhou took one of them and ground it into powder, first carefully observed it, then sniffed it, tasted a little, and then used various methods to check the ingredients of the elixir.
The medicine boy next to him recorded the results of the next week's examination by the imperial physician one by one.
The same is true for Wei Yan's side. Tiandong held a brush in his hand, and he had already written a whole page. The results of these inspections should be kept on file for future reference.
After the two of them checked each other, they got together to discuss.
"Imperial Physician Wei, what do you think of this Immortal Pill?" Imperial Physician Zhou asked in a low voice.
Wei Yan's eyes flashed, and he didn't answer and asked, "I don't know what Doctor Zhou wants?" ”
Imperial Physician Zhou stroked his beard and said after a while: "There is nothing wrong with the raw materials of this elixir, they are all taken from the medicinal materials brought out of the palace. It's just that the refining technique is very different from what we usually do. At the moment, it seems that it should be okay for the body. As for the efficacy of the drug, it is difficult to say for the time being. ”
Wei Yan smiled and arched his hand slightly: "Imperial Doctor Zhou is really smart. I checked the elixir and felt that this elixir was fine. ”
"What does Imperial Physician Wei mean......" Imperial Physician Zhou lowered his voice: "Shall we reply to the emperor like this?" In this way, the emperor will let people try the medicine and then take it on their own. In case this elixir really works, in the future, this Daoist Yu will definitely become a celebrity in the eyes of the emperor. What is the use of our doctors in the hospital! ”
At the end of the day, people are selfish.
As a physician in the Tai Hospital, there is the most direct conflict of interest with the Taoist priests of alchemy. It would be best if you could take the opportunity to suppress the arrogance of these people!
Wei Yan was so keen, he could hear the meaning of Imperial Doctor Zhou's words.
Wei Yan smiled faintly: "Imperial Doctor Zhou, don't forget." Who introduced these Taoist priests? If there is really something wrong with the elixir, we can block it. But now it seems that this elixir is indeed not harmful to the body. If the two of us don't tell the truth to the emperor, how can that one of us take a break! ”
Imperial Physician Zhou's heart sank.
The one Wei Yan said in his mouth was, of course, referring to King Yan!
The emperor's preference for King Yan is well known.
King Yan specially recommended Taoist priests to make alchemy for the emperor, and he didn't know how many good things he said behind his back. If King Yan knew that what they said in front of the emperor was not that of the Taoist priest, he would definitely mind in his heart.
King Yan is never a big-hearted person. In case King Yan holds a grudge and deliberately seeks trouble with him in the future. He is just a imperial doctor, where will he be the opponent of King Yan. It is possible to have the bones removed......
That's it! This kind of thing, it is better for them to be less involved. lest you get into trouble!
The clever Imperial Physician Zhou quickly figured out the mystery, and glanced at Wei Yan gratefully: "Thank you Imperial Physician Wei for reminding me, I will go to see the emperor tomorrow, I know what to say." ”
Wei Yan smiled humbly and did not take credit: "Imperial Doctor Zhou doesn't have to be polite. ”
Judging from the use of this elixir, there is indeed no problem.
However, there is a medicinal herb in it, and it doesn't hurt to take less, but if you take too much, it will gradually become addictive.
It seems that this is the real purpose of King Yan. Compete for the emperor's favor by offering the elixir, and after the emperor begins to take it and become addicted, he will no longer be able to do without this taste of the elixir.
When the time comes, King Yan will be able to hold the emperor in his hands and coerce the Son of Heaven to issue a holy decree......
This move is indeed a clever move.
No matter how powerful the prince is, he is only a prince. As long as the emperor does not ascend to heaven for a day, the world will still be the emperor. Who will sit on the dragon chair is also up to the emperor.
King Yan also tried his best for the dragon chair.
If the crown prince and grandson are defenseless, they will indeed fall into passivity. However, now Ling Jingshu delivered the news back to the capital in time. Thinking about it, the shrewd imperial grandson had already guessed King Yan's intentions, and had taken precautions in advance.
The next day, Wei Yan and Imperial Physician Zhou went to the emperor together to report the results of the inspection.
"Emperor Qi, Weichen has carefully examined it, and these elixirs are not hindering the body." Wei Yan respectfully reported.
Imperial Physician Zhou also agreed: "Weichen also has the same opinion. However, the efficacy of the drug still needs to be tested to be determined. ”
The emperor stretched his brows and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I know." (To be continued.) )
