Chapter 1311: Immortality?
At three o'clock in the sun, Li Xiu walked out of the study, but he felt that the sun was a little dazzling, which made him can't help but stretch out his hand to block his eyes, and it took a while to get used to it, but his face is not very good now, after sending Zhao Deyan away last night, he didn't sleep all night, and he still didn't have any sleepiness until now.
"Master, Madame has prepared breakfast for you, and told you to rest early after using it!" At this moment, the maid next to Yuechan brought breakfast, Li Xiu didn't sleep all night, and Yuechan and the others all knew that he must have encountered something annoying, but Li Xiu never liked to talk about this with his family, and they didn't usually ask, but they would urge Li Xiu to pay attention to rest and not hurt his body.
Although Li Xiu didn't have much appetite now, he didn't want Yuechan and them to worry, so he reluctantly ate some, and after breakfast, he opened his mouth and ordered: "Let people prepare a table of wine banquets, and there will be guests visiting at noon!" ”
Hearing Li Xiu's order, the subordinates also felt a little strange, because Li Xiu had been staying in the study since last night, and no one had sent a prayer post during the period, how did he know that there would be guests at noon? However, although the next person was strange in his heart, he didn't dare to ask more, so he let people prepare.
After breakfast, Li Xiu finally felt a little sleepy, so he took a nap in the bedroom, and when it was almost noon, someone came to report that a guest had visited, which made Li Xiu also hurriedly and simply freshen up, and then hurried to the front hall.
"Brother Wuji, I already knew that you were coming today, I have already asked people to prepare a banquet, let's talk while eating!" When Li Xiu entered the hall and saw the restless eldest grandson Wuji in the hall, he couldn't help laughing at the moment, it seemed that he was not the only one who was frightened by the news.
"You really have a big heart, donkey, how can I still have the heart to eat now?" Eldest Sun Wuji said with a wry smile at this time, he was not surprised that Li Xiu knew that he was coming, because he knew that Li Xiu must have gotten the same news as him, and he could only discuss this matter with Li Xiu.
Seeing the wry smile on the face of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh secretly, but he still asked people to put the wine and food on the table, and then sat opposite the eldest grandson Wuji, and then spoke: "I only know that Your Majesty summoned a few famous Taoist priests into the palace yesterday, but I don't know what happened later, I don't know what Your Majesty said when he let those Taoist priests enter the palace?" ”
Yesterday Zhao Deyan came to see Li Xiu and told him a very important thing, that is, yesterday afternoon, Li Shimin suddenly summoned several famous Taoist priests into the palace, originally Taoism is the state religion of the Tang Dynasty, even if the Tang Dynasty suppresses religion, but it is nothing to summon a few Taoist priests into the palace, but these Taoist priests have a common characteristic, that is, they are known for being good at alchemy, which caused Zhao Deyan's vigilance, and he ran to Li Xiu overnight to discuss with him.
However, when the eldest grandson Wuji heard Li Xiu's words, he sighed again and again, and the expression on his face was also very complicated, and he opened his mouth several times to say something, but in the end he still didn't say it.
"No matter how big it is, you can't get along with your body, you still have to eat!" Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji didn't say anything, Li Xiu didn't ask again, but opened his mouth again to persuade, and after speaking, he also picked up the chopsticks to greet the eldest grandson Wuji, he knew that the eldest grandson Wuji was probably the same as himself, and he didn't think about eating and drinking from yesterday to now.
Seeing that Li Xiu was so calm, the eldest grandson Wuji also felt that he couldn't be weaker than him, so he gritted his teeth and picked up the chopsticks, but after eating a few bites, he couldn't eat them anymore, and finally threw the chopsticks away and sighed again and again, and even showed a little disappointed look on his face.
"Your Majesty summoned those Taoist priests into the palace yesterday and asked them if there is any art of immortality in this world, but although those Taoist priests are famous for alchemy, they are not very bold, at least they have not dared to deceive Your Majesty, so they all just said that their cultivation is too shallow and they can't refine the elixir of immortality, which makes Your Majesty very disappointed." The eldest grandson Wuji finally told Li Shimin about the situation after meeting with those Taoist priests yesterday.
"Even if they are still interested, although this may upset His Majesty, but they have finally saved their lives, otherwise they will definitely die in the future!" Li Xiu smiled when he heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji.
"Brother Li, those Taoist priests don't dare to agree, but who dares to guarantee that there will be no bold people to deceive Your Majesty in the future, if Your Majesty really believes the words of those warlocks, I'm afraid that my Tang Dynasty will be in chaos, isn't the lesson of Qianqin enough?" The eldest grandson Wuji said loudly in pain at this time.
In fact, it is not terrible for Li Shimin to summon a few Taoist priests for alchemy, the terrible thing is that Li Shimin already has the illusory idea of pursuing immortality, if this matter spreads, sooner or later there will be bold people who will come to bewitch Li Shimin, and now as Li Shimin is getting older and older, death is getting closer and closer, and the fear of death will only get bigger and bigger, and then it is likely to be deceived by those warlocks, even if Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji persuade him, I am afraid he will not listen.
I saw that Li Xiu couldn't help but show a silent expression when he heard these words of the eldest grandson Wuji, and only after a while did he speak: "There is a saying called 'no desire is rigid', on the other hand, if you have desire, you will naturally have weakness, during this time, Fang Xuanling was seriously ill, and the old ministers who founded the country were either old or dead one by one, which also formed a huge blow to Your Majesty, so I had the intention of asking for immortals, but it was not completely impossible." ”
"Brother Li, do you have a way to dispel this thought?" The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Li Xiu's words, if someone else said such things, he would definitely not believe it, but Li Xiu's words made him have to believe it, especially in this kind of big thing.
"I can't say that I have a way, the most important thing in this matter is to depend on Your Majesty himself, all we can do is to give him a little stimulation and let him sober up by himself!" Li Xiu shook his head at this time and said with a smile, he didn't sleep all night last night, just thinking about how to persuade Li Shimin, but he only thought of a way that was not a way to do it all night.
"No matter what you do, as long as it works!" The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but cheer up at the moment and said, after he knew that Li Shimin had the idea of immortality, the whole person also felt that the six gods had no master, and what he was thinking about was the lesson that Qin Shi Huang pursued immortality, which led to the death of Qin II, fortunately, there was Li Xiu who could discuss this matter with him, no matter whether Li Xiu's method was effective or not, he had to give it a try.
"Okay, then we'll give it a try, but before that, we'll have to wait for someone to come back!" Seeing the support of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Xiu also spoke again at the moment.
