Chapter 263: Cheng Ming asks for medicine
Tiandu Imperial City, Chengming Palace,
"What? He's dead? The Emperor suddenly stood up from behind the dragon case, and a pile of unapproved pieces of music piled up in the corner of the case were all scattered on the ground.
Zhang Huaijing knelt in front of the case, trembling all over: "The old minister is incompetent, the emperor is angry, the emperor is angry!" ”
The emperor's chest rose and fell violently a few times, and he glanced at Sixi coldly, and Sixi hurriedly went over and closed the door of the palace, thought about it, and ordered that no one should be allowed to approach within ten zhang, otherwise he would be killed on the spot.
After watching the guards around the main hall quickly retreat ten zhang away, Sixi closed the door of the upper hall and retreated to his position.
The emperor in front of the case tried to calm his anger and said, "How could he die?" Didn't you say a while ago that you could hang for a few days? ”
Zhang Huaijing wiped his sweat tremblingly: "Back to the emperor, a few days ago, the thousand-year-old ginseng essence had been used up, and I had to use the human-shaped ginseng for five hundred years to mix some, maybe, maybe it was because of this reason"
The emperor gritted his teeth, but he couldn't get out, the thousand-year-old ginseng is said to be almost fine, and there is such a plant in the whole world, which was originally reserved for the queen mother to hang herself in case of emergency, but now it is all used on that person, and in the end it has not been saved.
"What now?" The emperor lowered his voice and said, "How long can the corpse be kept?" If the body is disposed of, so that people can't tell that it is dead, can it work? ”
Zhang Huaijing shivered all over, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, when Weichen and the king of Hades rushed for their lives, they had already used the secret method, and now they will hurt the body with their hands and feet, and I am afraid that it will be unexpected."
The emperor angrily brushed off the remaining folds on the case: "What an accident! Could that dead man still be able to jump up and eat me by himself!! ”
"Your Majesty, there is a god three feet up. The emperor is cautious! Zhang Huaijing's face was ashen, and his head slammed on the ground, and there was a bang.
Sixi on the side also quickly knelt down, not daring to speak, but kept kowtowing.
The emperor sat down on the dragon chair and muttered, "What do you want me to do?" What do you want me to do? What else can make her die for me, who knows. You teach me. Teach me, ah! The last word, the emperor shouted. Both of the people in the temple were a spirit.
The four joys secretly looked up at the emperor and whispered: "Your Majesty, the emperor has done his best, and there is no second rare medicine in the whole world." The emperor was not stingy, and filled in all the person. In the end, it was also providential that he was not saved, the emperor"
One side of the inkstone smashed over, Sixi didn't dare to dodge, the inkstone was smashing on Sixi's shoulder. Cinnabar splashed everywhere, and Sixi fell to the ground with a piercing blood red face. Don't dare to persuade again.
There was silence in the Chengming Hall for a moment, and only the sound of the emperor's heavy breathing was heard. The other two people wanted to hide themselves, and even hid their breath.
"Sixi, I heard you say a few days ago that there are some masters in the folk who can change their appearance" The emperor's voice came from behind the dragon case without warmth.
Sixi raised his head, the huge dragon case covered the emperor, only to see a long and oblique shadow reflected on the screen behind it, and the angry dragon head on the dragon chair was combined, like a sleepy dragon roaring, and like a monster suppressing the dragon
Sixi lowered his eyes and cautiously replied, "Yes." ”
"You go ahead and arrange it." The emperor waved his hand weakly, and Sixi hung his head and retreated.
Zhang Huaijing knelt on the ground motionless, and after a long time, he heard a cold snort from behind the throne: "Why don't you speak?" Don't you think I'm despicable? ”
"I don't dare." Zhang Huaijing hurriedly kowtowed: "It's all useless for ministers"
The emperor snorted coldly and waved his hand: "That's it, you have also tried your best, the good medicines that the Tai Hospital has treasured over the years, I am afraid that they have been used almost enough." ”
Zhang Huaijing fell deeply.
The emperor sighed faintly: "These rare and good medicines are difficult to find, but they are still valuable, as long as they are valuable, it doesn't matter, I can always take them back from her." ”
The emperor paused when he said this, looked at the top of the palace painted with the picture of the proud dragons of the four seas, and his voice became more and more erratic: "It has been nearly eight years since I ascended the throne, and the treasury has become increasingly empty, and I am also in a hurry, but what can you do for me, the world is either floods, locust plagues, or great droughts, although my territory is large, there are not many rich people." I've been on the throne for eight years, and I've been endowed four times, do you think I don't know that those people are resentful of me in their hearts?
The four realms are becoming more and more unstable, those in the south, the desert in the north, the east, and the west, all want to get a piece of the pie from me, and I don't want to use military force, but if I don't raise soldiers, who will protect this country? Where did the money come from? Sometimes I really think," the emperor sneered at this, "Whoever wants to be this emperor should go." ”
"Emperor" Zhang Huaijing kowtowed in a trembling voice: "The emperor is the lord of all peoples, you must not be so decadent, although the minister does not know the government in the Tai Hospital, but the minister also knows that the southern Xinjiang and the northern desert are eyeing me Tianyou, the emperor, the southern Xinjiang is vicious, the northern desert is barbaric, if these rich wolves succeed, God bless the earth will be devastated." Zhang Huaijing said this, kowtowing again and again: "Please cheer up the emperor, don't have such thoughts again." ”
The emperor, who was originally paralyzed on the dragon chair, slowly straightened up, put his hands on his knees, and inherited the handsome silhouette of his father's nine points of heroism, but under the reflection of the candles in the hall, it was a little obscure.
"Zhang Huaijing, do you think that Tianyou's biggest enemies are Southern Xinjiang and Northern Desert? You are wrong, the most terrible enemy is actually in the east, which is a malignant tumor that even the deceased emperor of the previous dynasty could not solve. ”
"The emperor is talking about the fish clan?" Zhang Huaijing said hesitantly, in his impression, the east is the sea, and the only places that are still populated are a few small islands.
The emperor sneered: "Barbarian islanders, don't worry. ”
When the emperor said this, he stopped, as if he didn't intend to explain more, but stared at Zhang Huaijing lightly: "Zhang Huaijing, I have said so much, do you understand?" ”
Zhang Huaijing's heart churned, understood, understood something! He is an imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, and being able to be the first of the Tai Hospital is just a little more experience, and the prescription is just familiar, and this speculation of the sacred heart in the court is really not his strength.
But Zhang Huaijing didn't dare to say that he didn't understand, but just kowtowed and replied, "Yes." ”
The corners of the emperor's mouth hooked up a mocking smile: "I don't expect you to understand, I only ask you, is there a medicine in this world that can make people obey others with all their hearts?" ”
Zhang Huaijing raised his head and looked at the emperor in shock.
The emperor on the dragon chair, the corners of his mouth were raised, and there was a hint of mockery and a hint of madness in his cold eyes. (To be continued)
