In this way, the emperor seemed to have fallen into the devil's way, and he was deeply trapped in superstition and could not extricate himself. Not only that, but he almost neglected a lot of government affairs, either as soon as someone casually proposed a solution, the emperor said that it was good, or he just listened to the arrangement of the national teacher, and it has always been like this.

The ministers were very worried, but they couldn't persuade the emperor. So, several ministers privately found the king of Chu and said to him: "His Royal Highness the king of Chu, please save the emperor." ”

"What's wrong with my father?" The king of Chu was in a hurry, could it be that the emperor was seriously ill.

"The emperor was not lightly confused by the national teacher brought by the new prince, and he ignored the affairs of the court and politics, and even believed in Buddhism and indulged in it. His Royal Highness the King of Chu is wise and reasonable, and he hopes that His Royal Highness will go down to persuade the emperor. ”

The ministers all shook their heads one by one, and now the only person in the entire palace who is normal and able to persuade the emperor is the king of Chu.

King Chu did hear the rumors about this new national teacher a few days ago, and he didn't pay much attention to it at first, after all, the previous national teachers all served the emperor, but he didn't expect it to be the other way around now!

The king of Chu still believed in his father's decisive ability, and he stood out from the crowd of brothers back then, and he would not fall to the point where the ministers spoke.

The king of Chu stretched out his hand and motioned for his attendant to bring his coat, and then asked, "Where is the emperor now?" ”

"The emperor has just come down from the early dynasty, and he should be in the Heart Cultivation Hall at this time."

"Then the king will go to the Heart Cultivation Hall now." The king of Chu said that he would put on his coat and go to the Palace of Heart Cultivation.

In the palace of nourishing the heart, the emperor was crouching in front of the desk, squinting his eyes and holding a brush in his hand, copying the "Lotus Sutra" placed aside, looking very serious.

There is also a Bodhisattva made of gold on the emperor's table, and some things related to Buddhism can be seen everywhere on the shelves next to it.

When the king of Chu entered the palace of nourishing the heart, the emperor did not look up at him, until the king of Chu took the initiative to salute and said, "The son has come to greet his father." Only then did the emperor come back to his senses and stop writing.

The emperor raised his head, and the king of Chu looked at him from a distance, there was a clear look of exhaustion between his eyebrows, and the wrinkles on his face were much deeper, and Yin Tang was black, like a seriously ill patient.

"It's the King of Chu." The emperor said a symbolic sentence, and then continued to bow his head and copy the book.

"Father, what is this writing?"

"Scriptures."

"The scripture is copied for nothing more than a blessing or a deposit. Is there anything that worries my father lately, or who do you want to pray for? ”

"No, I just want to transcribe," the emperor felt that the king of Chu was a little annoyed, so he casually found an excuse to try to get rid of the king of Chu and said, "How did you complete your homework today?" ”

However, the king of Chu calmly responded: "Erchen got up at midnight today to recite the "Mean" carefully, and he has been able to memorize all the "Four Books" and "Five Classics". When he arrived, he went to practice martial arts and swordsmanship. ”

"Okay." Just one word, the emperor didn't say much.

The king of Chu saw that the emperor was irrational to him, so he casually mentioned a matter in the government and said: "Erchen heard that the command ability in charge of the command in the Northwest Army is good, and he doesn't blink an eye when he kills the enemy, but he is just short-tempered, and those who disobey his orders are killed. ”

The emperor raised his head, only felt that this matter was very familiar, it seemed that he had indeed heard a minister mention it in the morning, he carefully recalled the solution he gave at that time, and replied to the king of Chu: "People are inherently wrong, the Bodhisattva said that you should not kill innocents indiscriminately, General Guo has obviously made a big mistake, and the Bodhisattva will send him to the hell of Ah Bi in the future." ”

"But now I don't do that kind of thing to deal with others, and if my hands are covered with the blood of sin, I will be punished by the Bodhisattva. What's more, General Guo's command ability is outstanding, and now that the imperial court is also employing people, I will send people to enlighten General Guo and guide General Guo on the right path. ”

The king of Chu is embarrassed, the emperor is really abnormal, and he almost does not leave the word bodhisattva in what he says now, and he is not so decisive in handling things.

What's more, if General Guo's matter is done according to the emperor's wishes, not only will there be no progress, but it will tolerate General Guo's temper growing day by day.

It seems that what the ministers said is really true, and the father has really become very strange recently, he said: "Your Majesty, this law and the ministers feel that there is something lacking......

"You say, how do you want to solve it?"

Erchen believes that the main reason for General Guo's incident is that there is a problem with the mechanism in the army, and the centralization of power is too serious. It is better to send people in the court to look at General Na Guo and add a junior general. ”

"Okay, you can do whatever you say, I can trust you." The emperor never stopped writing in his mouth, and he looked anxious and impatient, and the speed of writing was getting faster and faster.

"If the King of Chu has nothing to do, step down, don't disturb me."

"But Father!" Halfway through the words of the King of Chu, he was interrupted by the eunuch who came in: "See the emperor, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the emperor, it's time to take medicine." ”

"Medication?" The king of Chu was very puzzled and asked, "What kind of illness does my father have and needs to take medicine?" ”

"This ......," the eunuch said with some hesitation, "this is the elixir of life given to the emperor by the national teacher." ”

"The elixir?" The king of Chu couldn't believe his ears, he did see a lot of this medicine in books, and the emperors of all dynasties blindly lost themselves because of this medicine.

But as long as a normal person should know that this elixir does not exist at all, I didn't expect my father to believe such a stupid thing!

"The elixir of life! Bring it, bring it to me! When the emperor saw the pill, the whole person lost his mind like a blood-sucking demon.

The king of Chu stopped the eunuch and asked him, "Can this medicine be tested by the imperial doctor in the palace?" ”

"No ......" The eunuch looked at the hand blocking in front of him, and then looked at the anxious emperor opposite, he really didn't know whether to step forward or not move.

Ignoring the thirty-seven twenty-one, the king of Chu grabbed the brown pill that was placed in the brocade box and said, "Father, do you really believe that there is an elixir of life?" You must not be blinded, wait for the rechen to take it to the imperial doctors for identification, if it is really a good medicine, the rechen will definitely not hinder the emperor from eating it. ”

"No, you rebel!" The emperor still remembered what the national teacher had said before, to believe in the Buddha unconditionally, and if they felt the slightest difference, there would be no more elixir to eat.

"Father, ah!" The king of Chu was suddenly thrown to the ground by the emperor, and the emperor forcibly took out the pill from the hand of the king of Chu and pinched it in the palm of his hand.

"King Chu, what are you crazy about today? If you destroy my elixir, what kind of crime should you be guilty of! ”

"Father, the son is for your own good!" The king of Chu almost collapsed, but he didn't expect his father to push himself out of town for the sake of this medicine.

"Spread my will, the king of Chu acted recklessly, punished for three days, and was not allowed to go out of the palace for half a step during the period!"

"Father!"

Back in his palace, the king of Chu was very unwilling, what kind of national teacher would confuse the emperor to such a point, and take out this strange elixir for the emperor to eat.

King Chu clenched his fists all the way, and now he raised his hand and slowly sent his fist away, only to see some black powder stuck in the nail cover of his index finger.

That's right, this is the powder that the King of Chu took the opportunity to take from the so-called elixir, he carefully removed it, and then handed it to the prince he trusted to verify what ingredients were in it and whether it would cause any harm to the emperor's body.

The king of Chu is now restless, he is so flustered for the first time, and he is so flustered that he doesn't know what to do. He bore the brunt of that person, Xie Yutang, who needed help so much now.

At that moment, the king of Chu immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Xicheng, urgently summoning Xie Yutang back to Beijing.

In Xicheng, Xie Yutang felt that the burden on his body was much lighter when he left the capital, and there was almost nothing to do, he could accompany Chi Wan wholeheartedly, sometimes going to her restaurant to help her, and sometimes secretly running to see her at night.

Xie Yutang found that he enjoyed this comfortable life very much, and asked who would like to be in the middle of strife every day instead of choosing a comfortable day.

If it hadn't been for the letter from the King of Chu, perhaps Xie Yutang would have almost forgotten that he had another identity, and there were people who needed to obey his orders to wait for him to go back.

It seems that he has to take Chi Wan back to the capital. Xie Yutang came to the flavor building with a hint of uneasiness, at first Chi Wan refused to go back to the capital with him, he could understand that maybe the two had not been in contact for too long and had been negligent.

But now it's different, after so many days of getting along, Xie Yutang feels that the relationship between him and Chi Wan has slowly healed, and he has even regained the feeling he had before. He was now more certain that he would be able to bring Ji Wan back to the capital.

Standing at the door of the flavor building, he clenched his fists when he looked at the signboard of the flavor building, and if he didn't succeed this time, he would become a benevolent, and he would take Chi Wan away from everything!

At this time, Chi Wan carefully tasted her new dishes in the flavor building, and the shredded taro rolls made by her personally tasted sweet and greasy, and they were very delicious.

"Add it to the dessert on the menu." Then she ate another one, and closed her eyes very intoxicated, and slowly tasted it.

Looking at this look, Chi Wan Xie Yutang couldn't bear to disturb her at all, he took a deep breath and stepped into the flavor building.

Chi Wan saw Xie Yutang coming, and greeted him warmly: "Yutang, come and eat this, it's delicious." ”

"Thank you Wan'er," perhaps because he was too nervous, Xie Yutang didn't have an appetite at all, he pushed away Chi Wan's kindness and said to her, "Wan'er, I have something to tell you." ”
