When Ma Zhou heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's kindness is known to the world, but right now, because Jin Biao's Taoist priest is disrespectful to His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor's eldest grandson angrily smashed Jin Biao's door. Although His Majesty's heavy punishment is in line with the law, because the Taoist priests of Jin Biaomen have always been rampant and domineering, they have already provoked the anger of the heavens and the resentment.

Some court ministers had to think about it. ”

Li Shimin's face sank when he heard this, and he asked in a cold voice, "What do they think?"

Ma Zhou had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "I'm afraid that the tragedy of Emperor Xiaowu of the former Han Dynasty and Prince Wei will reappear in our dynasty." ”

Li Shimin was furious when he heard this, he took a few puffs of opium, his spirit was slightly better, he stood up suddenly, walked to Ma Zhou and said in a deep voice: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty forced the prince to rebel against the prince because of his listening to the villain's slander, so that the Han family almost died at the hands of the Huo family.

Although I am sick, I have not been so faint, and many state affairs have never been abandoned.

And Cheng Qian's army is outside, and I have never had the slightest suspicion of acting arbitrarily and arbitrarily, so how can these people be so filthy?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty forced the crown prince, which was really not clever, and Li Shimin heard that he was compared to Han Wu who killed his son in a stupid way, of course, this was slandered.

Seeing this, Ma Zhou hurriedly shook himself to the ground, bowed down and said: "Everyone in the world is looking forward to Your Majesty's longevity and peace for ten thousand years, so the Taoist priests of Jinbiaomen have always been tolerant of misdeeds.

But because of the favor of His Majesty and the forgiveness of his subjects, these people have acted unscrupulously.

When the people of the world see that his virtue is so bad, how can they believe that they can make His Majesty live forever?"

Li Shimin was also shocked when he heard this, he regarded the three Taoist priests of Jinbiaomen as immortals, and then ordered him to refine the elixir. If the character is really bad, then there is really a question mark over whether they can refine the elixir of longevity.

Li Shimin turned his head and looked at Li Daozong with a compulsive gaze and said, "This is all true. ”

Li Daozong hurriedly lowered his head and said, "That's true, for example, this incident was caused by the little Taoist priest under Dao Yi who wanted to rob a farmer's cart of tomatoes. ”

Li Shimin listened to the huge rise and fall of his chest, wanted to break out several times and forcibly pressed down, and finally turned to look at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi looked panicked when he saw it and said: "That's true, it's just that these misbehaving Taoist priests all climbed up to the three Heavenly Masters' bad boys, and Dao Yi and the other three Heavenly Masters were alchemy for their father and emperor all day long in Jinbiaomen, and they didn't know it." ”

"Humph!"

Li Shimin snorted angrily when he heard this, turned around and sat on the Luohan bed, with a calm face and a silent speech.

The people in the hall didn't dare to breathe, and they didn't know what Li Shimin would do when he went crazy.

Fortunately, not long after being suppressed, Li Shimin spoke.

"Ma Qing, go down first, go out and tell those courtiers outside, I will give them a satisfactory answer."

Li Shimin's tone of voice was a little sluggish, and Ma Zhou thought that Li Shimin was desperate for Changsheng when he heard it, so he bowed down and said, "The minister will retire first." ”

"The minister also retired." Li Daozong hurriedly bowed and saluted.

There were only two people left in the hall, the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Zhi, and seeing Li Shimin's gloomy expression, he couldn't guess what Li Shimin was thinking for a while.

The two looked at each other, and both saw worry in each other's eyes.

The eldest grandson Wuji bowed down and said: "Your Majesty has been tired for a long time today, so let's rest first, and the minister will also help Ma Zhongshu to persuade the ministers outside." ”

"Hmm!"

Li Shimin nodded, he relieved his opium addiction, and his heart was no longer irritable, and his sleepiness had already come up.

When the eldest grandson Wuji went out, Li Shimin sighed and fell asleep on the Luohan bed.

……

……

The eldest grandson Wuji walked out of the Xianchi Hall and did not go to the Chengtian Gate, but walked all the way north to the Taoist temple in the Jinbiao Gate.

As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji walked in, he saw three Taoist priests, Dao Jiao, Dao Yi and Dao Guo, hurriedly greeted him in wide Taoist robes.

"I've seen Uncle Changsun." The three of them saluted the eldest grandson Wuji side by side.

The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand proudly and said, "That's it! ”

Then he walked inside, and the eldest grandson Wuji walked into the Sanqing Hall of the Taoist Temple all the way, and the three Taoist priests followed closely behind.

Entering the Great Palace, the eldest grandson Wuji sat down directly on the main seat, and the three Taoist priests stood respectfully in front of him.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked up at the three Taoist priests, and said expressionlessly, "You sit down first." ”

"Uncle Xie Changsun!"

"You tell the old man the truth today, is there any harm in what you give His Majesty to eat?"

Seeing Li Shimin's health getting worse and worse, Eldest Sun Wuji already felt that something was wrong in his heart.

Hearing this, Dao Jian hurriedly got up and said to the eldest grandson Wuji in fear: "Back to Uncle Changsun Guo, Xiao Dao swears to the sky, Xiao Dao and others give His Majesty medicine to prolong life, and there is no harm. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji squinted his eyes and looked at Dao Jiao, and after a while, he glanced at Dao Yi and Dao Guo, and saw that the faces of the three did not change at all, and he couldn't make up his mind.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "When I saw Your Majesty just now, I showed fatigue and seemed to have no such obsession with immortality. ”

When the three Taoist priests heard this, their faces immediately changed greatly.

"Your Majesty—Why did Your Majesty have such a mind?" Dao Jian asked in disbelief.

The eldest grandson Wuji showed helplessness and emotion on his face, and said lightly: "Your Majesty is the unseen monarch of the ages, seeing that the imperial court is going to give birth to chaos because of his refining of the elixir, how can he only care about his own selfishness and let the imperial court go into chaos?"

A smile appeared on his face when he heard this, and he said triumphantly: "I know Your Majesty's heart, but Uncle Changsun doesn't have to worry, the road to immortality is full of thorns, there is no way back, and only by being brave and diligent can we achieve immortality." ”

Hearing this, Eldest Sun Wuji's face immediately became gloomy, and he asked in a cold voice, "What do you say!" ”

What immortality, others don't know what's going on, but his eldest grandson Wuji can know clearly.

Dao Jian couldn't help but tremble when he saw the eldest grandson Wuji's face, and he didn't dare to speak for a while.

"Uncle Returning to the eldest grandson, what my senior brother means is that although the medicine taken by His Majesty has the effect of strengthening the body, it cannot be stopped if it is taken regularly."

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he stared at Sandao with murderous eyes and asked, "What do you want to do?"

The eldest grandson Wuji lured Li Shimin to cultivate Changsheng, originally just wanted Li Shimin to panic about some government affairs, arouse Li Chengqian's dissatisfaction, and then provoke it again.

But he never thought of killing Li Shimin, let alone allowing a Taoist priest to control Li Shimin through drugs.

Seeing this, Sandao's heart was beating and he hurriedly knelt down.

……

Two days later, Li Shimin summoned three Taoist priests, Dao Jian and Dao Yi in the Xianchi Palace.

Li Shimin had just smoked opium and was in a slightly better spirit, and when he raised his eyes and saw three Taoist priests with elegant temperaments standing in front of him, he felt a lot more at ease.

"It is really a great achievement that the three heavenly masters will not give up, refining the elixir of immortality for me, so that I can prolong my life."

"Don't dare!"

The three of them are the first to be said together.

Li Shimin looked at them and continued: "But the three Heavenly Masters have been detaining the ordinary land of Chang'an for a long time, which hinders my cultivation and makes me uneasy!" ”

The three Taoist priests remembered what Sun Wuji told him the day before yesterday, and they couldn't help but be shocked, and they were about to persuade when they heard Li Shimin continue: "I want to build a Taoist palace for the three heavenly masters on Zhongnan Mountain, and I and the three heavenly masters will build the road of immortality together with Zhongnan." ”

When the three Taoist priests heard this, their hearts moved, Li Shimin wanted to go to Zhongnan Mountain with them to cultivate?

This is a good thing for them, but when they think of the request of the eldest grandson Wuji, they can't help but sigh in their hearts.

"Your Majesty went to the end of the Nanshan Cultivation Dao, how will the world be handled?" Dao Jian asked tentatively.

Li Shimin sighed when he heard the words and said: "The prince is not small, he has made great achievements in supervising Liaodong in the past few years, and he has been able to take on a great responsibility. ”

The three Taoist priests were shocked when they heard this, and yesterday the eldest grandson Wuji told them that if Li Chengqian knew that the imperial grandson was controlled by their medicine, the first thing would be to exterminate them.

"Your Majesty can't help it." Dao Jian said stiffly.
