At this time, the emperor could only reluctantly accept the fact that his immortal cultivation had suffered a heavy setback, and he did not forget that Yan Chi had repeatedly emphasized from the very beginning that although Xu Chunyang's cultivation technique was indeed possible, even Xu Chunyang himself might not be able to cultivate for longevity. It is the emperor who has to be obsessed with cultivation, because he has begun to fear birth, old age, sickness and death at such an age, and he also understands quite well that even if the king of a country can control the power of life and death, but like the subjects of the world, what he cannot get rid of is the impermanence of life, and the end of his life.

He envied people outside the world, because only they could hope to be free from the limitations of longevity, even if it was difficult to cultivate and live a long life, but relying on the cultivation of qi and serving the pill could also greatly benefit the body, and it was always easier to achieve a high life than ordinary people.

The king of a country is rich and has the world, how can he be willing to do what he is capable of achieving without trying?

The emperor also knew better than anyone that if Xu Chunyang was the divine stick of Feng Lai and his ilk, then the Qi cultivation technique granted to him would not allow him to improve the solid diseases in his body in a short period of time, and the medical officer of the Tai Hospital confirmed that his body was more healthy than a few months ago.

If Xu Chunyang had the intention of killing the monarch in vain, the emperor knew that he might not be able to save his life now.

So the emperor didn't actually listen to the queen's accusations.

"Unprovoked, this matter should be bad in San Lang's eagerness, Xu Chunyang is afraid that San Lang is dead, and he is deeply afraid of being implicated, so he doesn't say goodbye. If this single incident has nothing to do with the crown prince, but so many incidents have happened one after another, if there is no connection between them, how can I believe it? I want to ask for no reason to come today, because I want to ask for no reason to use the hexagram again, I want to know two things, one is who Luan'er is harmed by, and the other is where the Liang family is hiding. ”

Yan Chi agreed to the hexagram and gave the result for a while.

The emperor asked again: "Wutu's visit to Tianzhong Mountain this time shouldn't be because of a whim, right?" ”

The minister concluded that there must be a causal connection between the two incidents, and the fading of the Yongsheng coins alone cannot really hurt David's national capital, but the minister thought that since the first emperor, there have been crimes of collusion between officials and private coins to forge coins, and it has not been eliminated so far. The counterfeit money in the city is rampant, and the people suffer deeply, and the most important thing is that it will hurt the country, so because of this case, the minister went to Tianzhong Mountain to visit the hermit Guan Yong.

Guan Yong is proficient in the science of financial planning, and as early as 20 years ago, he had pointed out the disadvantages of private counterfeiting/coins, and also tried to formulate a strategy to prevent it, but he was discouraged because of the injustice encountered during the test, so he was disheartened in the official career, and only wanted to be free in Lin Quan, and tried to persuade Guan Yong to obtain a post by means of recruitment, and applied his set of anti-counterfeiting/currency circulation strategies many years ago to practice. ”

The emperor's brows furrowed: "I know about the Yongsheng coin case for no reason, and I know that it must be related to the crown prince, why don't you report it to me in time." ”

"The minister is the national teacher of David, and he protects the country, and the minister knows that the prince can hide this case for a while and it is difficult to hide it for a long time, regardless of whether Lu Liyan is caught or not, the Xi and Yongsheng coins sent out have faded into copper tires, and the result cannot be changed, the official family can only punish the crime, and the official family will punish the criminals, and the minister will not comment on it, so after the minister notices the shortcomings, he only consolidates the beneficial things for the country."

The national teacher is not a permanent official position, and the functions of the national teacher are actually directly paid by the Son of Heaven, and the functions given to Yan Chi by the Son of Heaven have the article of "arbitrariness", which of course does not mean that Yan Chi can be lawless from now on, but as long as his explanation can win the approval of the Son of Heaven, people around him have no right to question whether he is derelict in his duties.

Before the Son of Heaven closed the cultivation, he did not explain to Yan Chi to supervise the prince, but gave the prince the power to govern the dynasty, and it is reasonable that the prince will conceal the case of the fading of the Yongsheng coin, whether it is still very debatable, if Yan Chi secretly reported to the Son of Heaven to know, it is not conducive to the prince, but is acting beyond his authority.

When Yan Chi said this, it was to signal that he, as before, had no intention of getting involved in the storage dispute, and it was even more impossible to interfere in the affairs of the Heavenly Family's father and son.

The emperor may not be willing to use the hexagram as a basis for Yan Chi, and in the name of the country's national ancestry, he vainly talks about the choice of the throne.

That's why he asked: "Guan Yong said that he suffered injustice because of the imperial examination?" ”

"This is still what happened in the first imperial dynasty." Yan Chi bowed his head: "Guan Yong also had the ambition to enter the imperial examination when he was young, but on his forearm, he was born with a plum-shaped fetus, and when he entered the examination room, he was judged to be a carved thorn by the field supervisor, and was expelled from the examination room and deprived of the qualification to take the examination, Guan Yong had no way to argue, so he was disheartened. ”

The emperor didn't ask Guan Yong if he was persuaded by Yan Chi, he didn't care about such a "trivial matter" now.

After Yan Chi faced the saint, he returned to the National Teacher's Mansion, Sima Xiu, who came in disguise, had been waiting for a long time, Fang Chi was staring at this champion Lang with big eyes, the atmosphere between the two was extremely delicate, Yan Chi glanced at Sima Xiu in front of him, and found that he was slow to talk about candied fruit, not even a cup of cooked water, and the table was clean, and he didn't know that Fang Qi was deliberately slacking, and his heart was slightly blocked - it seemed that this girl was still thinking about Sima Xiu stealing the limelight from Xu Mingxi.

As soon as Sima Xiu saw Yan Chi, he stood up and complained, and his fingers were still pointing at Fang Qi: "Yan Wutu, you quickly talk about Ling Nei, yesterday she said that one more sentence in front of the official family, and stabbed the Yongsheng Coin case out, causing the official family to be angry at the prince, just now I said that she shouldn't talk too much, Ling Nei even dared to disagree, His Royal Highness the Prince's current crisis is due to Ling Nei, Yan Wutu, you can have a good life evaluation!" ”

Fang Qi heard that Sima Xiu's hat on her head was getting bigger and bigger, and she was naturally angry in her heart, and she just wanted to argue, but she received a glance from Yan Chi.

It's not a gloomy glance, but there is no slightest temperature, calm and quiet like a freshly polished copper mirror, which makes her suddenly flustered, and she is not sure if yesterday's free play is really a leak.

"Sima Xiu, do you still have the face to say that the prince's current crisis is due to Neizi? Who came up with the idea to prevent the prince from submitting the Yongsheng coin case in time? Who insisted that Lu Liyan was resolutely innocent, and as a result, you can now hand over Lu Liyan's whereabouts? Neiko didn't mention the Yongsheng coin, and the official family can still be hidden? It's obviously your Sima Xiu's leak, who is this trying to put the black cauldron on?! ”

When Fang Qi heard this, he immediately straightened his spine, and he was even more righteous than just now: "Isn't it?" Yesterday, Empress Zhou was already questioning the crown prince for ignoring the murder of the third emperor grandson, but His Royal Highness the prince still didn't argue a word, if I don't say that His Royal Highness is busy handling the Yongsheng coin case, maybe the official family will listen to Queen Zhou's slander. ”

"Madame has really worked hard, yesterday there were many Madame arguing in front of Queen Zhou, so that the official family was not confused by slander." Yan Chi smiled slightly, the corners of his lips were together, and the "bronze mirror" in his eyes seemed to disappear without a trace.

This posture is really a pair of loving couples like glue.

Seeing Sima Xiu with a lump of lump on his neck, his lips straightened, he glared at both of them before he said, "Now is the time to investigate who is right and who is wrong?" Yan is unprovoked, the official family can't listen to His Highness's defense at all, and has decided to personally examine the cases, His Highness is completely in a passive situation, I admit that I am indeed at fault, but Ling Nei's gaffe yesterday is not responsible? ”

Fang Qi felt that Sima Xiu was simply unreasonable, who was investigating right and wrong? Don't you insist on putting the black pot on my head? Could it be that you are only allowed to shirk your responsibilities and blame others, and I will not be allowed to argue?

Yan Chi squinted at Sima Xiu: "Your Highness argues that someone instigated Lu Li to counterfeit / coins, and then spread the rumor that the prince's ruling society is about to collapse, and then several cases followed, there must be a person with ill intentions who has the desire to seize the prince." ”

"Isn't that true?"

"It's true, but how can Your Highness confirm it?" Yan Chi sneered: "Didn't Sima Zhuangyuan see this serial plan clearly until this time? The other party has no intention of relying on the so-called divine pre-emptive position to shake the storage position, that is a false shot, but you also suggested that the prince immediately kill the living mouth that spread rumors, how can you confirm that someone is indeed spreading these rumors? ”

Sima Xiu frowned heavily.

They have indeed been guarding against the spread of God's foresight, they didn't expect this to be false, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was anxious to defend himself, but as a result, there would be no rumors to spread at all, and self-defense became a quibble, and he couldn't win the trust of the Son of Heaven at all.

"Today, the official family asked me to hexagram the whereabouts of the Liang family." Yan Chi said again.

Sima Xiu glanced at Yan Chi: "Can Yan Guoshi occupy it?" ”

"Nature can."

"That's good." Sima Xiu snorted lightly: "Your Highness can't wait to find out the Liang family's family as soon as possible, and find out who the Liang family was instructed to poison the little emperor's grandson!" When the real culprit behind the scenes is discovered, he is not afraid that he will not be able to try the truth of a series of conspiracies. ”

After Sima Xiu left, Fang Qi speculated: "Yue Guogong actually left so much alive?" ”

Seeing that Yan Chi was silent, just sipping tea, Fang Qi thought that the details of the layout still couldn't be asked, so she laughed twice to let herself go off the stage: "I won't ask, I won't ask more, I'll go back to Qinghuan to cook, Yan Lang hasn't eaten for so many days, right?" What do you want to eat tonight? ”

"I don't need you to cook tonight." Yan Chi knocked on the table and motioned for Fang Qi to sit still: "I'll try the skills of your students and see if they are enough to support your Shaoyong Chef." ”

I was caught off guard and talked about this layout.

"Of course, Yue Guogong will stay alive, because no matter whether I can find Liang's family or not, they will be arrested, and Liang's husband and son are important witnesses against the prince."

"The two little emperors and grandsons were all killed by the Duke of Yue?" Fang Qi asked tremblingly.

"I'm the real mastermind." Yan Chi glanced at Fang Qi: "Including King Jin, he is rash, as long as there is someone around him to instigate, he will definitely take the risk of serving Waidan, and King Jin also died from my calculations." Because he is also one of the accomplices. ”

Fang Qi remembered that he cherished words like gold to others, and only the King of Jin, who admired Yan Chi very much, couldn't figure out why a prince who was addicted to Taoist practice would also become an accomplice in the killing of Dongping Gong.

"He wanted to force Uncle Zhao to confess Zhong Lishi's whereabouts, thinking that when Uncle Zhao was cornered, he would write to Zhong Lishi for help, so he also became one of the people who fell into the ground, he colluded with the Taoists who corresponded with him, slandered Uncle Zhao, and claimed that Uncle Zhao was the heir of the royal family surnamed Keyi."

Fang Qi frowned: "The royal family surnamed Yi is really born cold, even the unintentional power field like King Jin, a person with a heart outside the world, can be obsessed with his own desires and disregard the lives of others, just like this, he still wants to cultivate his life?" ”

No wonder Yan Chi's plan will have a Xu Chunyang, the purpose is to implicate the King of Jin in this battle for the storage position, although he is not seeking the storage position, but he also died of his own obsession.

This is also the self-blame of King Jin.
