"Fang Xiangshou is exhausted, and I can't help it!" In the view of medicine, Sun Simiao also looked depressed at this time, he was also invited to treat Fang Xuanling in the past two days, but Fang Xuanling had reached the end of his life, and he had no choice.

"Life and death are fateful, and this is also a matter of no choice." Li Xiu also sighed at this time and said, Fang Xuanling's condition is getting more and more serious, he was awake a few days ago, but now he has been in a coma for a few days, and he can't even pour medicine, I'm afraid the limit is only in these days.

"Life and death are fateful." When Sun Simiao heard Li Xiu's words, his expression became a little strange, and after a while, he spoke again, "Don Ma, after I helped Fang Xiang see a doctor today, His Majesty summoned me to the palace, and in addition to asking me about Fang Xiang's physical condition, he also asked me a question. ”

"Questions? What's the problem? Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard Sun Simiao's words.

"This ......" I saw Sun Simiao hesitate for a moment, and finally spoke, "Actually, I don't know what Your Majesty means, but yesterday Your Majesty asked me again after inquiring about Fang Xiang's condition, is there an elixir in this world that can make people immortal?" ”

Hearing Sun Simiao's words, Li Xiu's heart couldn't help but sink, the situation he was most worried about had happened, which made him ponder for a moment and speak again: "Then Daoist Sun, how did you answer Your Majesty?" ”

I saw that Sun Simiao also smiled bitterly at this time, and then said: "Don't hide it, when I was young, I also had an obsessive idea of immortality, but at that time I saw many people in the Taoist sect alchemy and medicine to seek immortality, but immortality was not sought, but one by one became short-lived, and the better ones were also sick from eating a body, which made me feel that the road to alchemy was not passable, so I turned to study medicine, hoping to use medical skills to seek immortality, but the more I learned later, the more I felt that the theory of immortality was really a bit absurd." ”

The above words Sun Simiao also said to others for the first time, only to see him take a long breath when he said this, and then he answered Li Xiu's words positively: "Your Majesty asked about the elixir of immortality, I can only tell him that there may be medicines or methods to prolong life in this world, but although I have heard of the saying of immortality from time to time, I have never really seen it. ”

"Your Majesty should be disappointed to hear the answer from the Taoist Chief, right?" Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, people will change, especially when people get old, life will also come to an end, ordinary people may only passively accept, but for an emperor who controls a huge empire, he has too many things to let go, and too many desires that cannot be satisfied, so he wants to control everything, including his own life and death, which is one of the reasons why many emperors yearn for immortality.

"Yes, after His Majesty heard my answer, he also showed a very disappointed look on his face, and he was silent for a long time before waving me to leave." When Sun Simiao said the end, he couldn't help but sigh, although he was not an official, he had also read history books, so he naturally knew the possible consequences of an emperor's pursuit of immortality, which was why he told Li Xiu about it.

Li Xiu was also silent for a long time at this time, and the old Li Shimin, like Qin Shihuang, actually wanted to pursue immortality, which was obviously not a good thing for the Tang Dynasty, and he remembered that in the history books of later generations, the circumstances of Li Shimin's death were recorded very vaguely, but it was mentioned that Li Shimin had taken pills in the last few times, and even summoned Buddhism to enter the palace, so many people in later generations speculated that Li Shimin was likely to die by taking pills.

"This matter must be kept secret, and it must not be passed on, otherwise it may cause a big disaster." After being silent for a long time, Li Xiu finally told Sun Simiao very cautiously.

"Don't worry, the poor road knows the severity." Sun Simiao also said solemnly at this time, he also often went in and out of the palace, and naturally knew that some things would never reveal half a word even if they were rotten in the stomach.

That night, Li Xiu returned home and kept thinking about Li Shimin, immortality must be nonsense, and maybe maybe Li Shimin in history was really like what later generations speculated, he was killed because of indiscriminate consumption of pills, after all, he was only fifty-one years old when he died, although Li Shimin's health is not very good now, but it is impossible for him to die so early.

"Dong Dong~" When Li Xiu was pondering in the study, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside, and then a maid reported in a low voice, "Master, Master Zhao is visiting!" ”

"Let him in!" Li Xiu also stood up immediately when he heard the maid's words and said, the so-called Master Zhao actually refers to Zhao Deyan, after Ma Ye died, he took over the Feinu Division, and his children are studying in Li Xiu's house, so he often comes to Li Xiu's house, and the people in the house are all commensurate with Master Zhao.

After a while, I saw Zhao Deyan coming to the study under the guidance of his subordinates, and Li Xiu also got up to greet him and said with a smile: "Brother Deyan, why did you come to me so late, it can't be something, right?" ”

"Hehe, it's indeed something, and there is some news about the second son, and the colt will definitely be very interested." I saw Zhao Deyan say with a smile at this time.

"Jin'er? His Majesty has already punished him to garrison in Monan, so he won't cause anything else, right? Li Xiu couldn't help but show a headache when he heard Zhao Deyan's words, although the punishment of Li Jin has come down, it is estimated that it has not been sent to Mobei, so Li Jin is still under Li Daozong, Li Daozong will definitely not be too strict with Li Jin because of his own face, with Li Jin's temperament, maybe something will happen?

"Hahaha~, knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, it seems that the concubine still understands the second son, but this time he is not a troublemaker, but has made a great contribution, especially this credit is still related to our Feinu Division." Zhao Deyan laughed at this time.

"This kid is bold, he was also meritorious last time, but he had to be punished, what did he do this time?" Li Xiu was also a little helpless in the end, it must be impossible to make Li Jin as worry-free as Ping An Lang, how many times would he wipe his ass as a father?

"You misunderstood the second son this time, he has indeed made a great contribution this time, you can just listen to me!" I saw that Zhao Deyan laughed again at this time, and then talked about some of Li Jin's recent things.

It turned out that the last time Li Jin led the troops to defeat the Hui Hui, Li Daozong did not dare to let him lead the troops again, but let him stay by his side, but Li Jin is not a peaceful character, it just so happened that the Hui people sent an envoy to discuss the boundary with Li Daozong, but Li Jin did not know what method to use, and he actually got into a relationship with the Hui envoy, and in just a few days, the two called them brothers, and it is said that they also became brothers with different surnames.

"It's just an envoy, and it's nothing for Jin'er to talk to him about speculation and become brothers, you don't want to talk to me about it, do you?" When Li Xiu heard this, he looked at Zhao Deyan with a strange expression.

"Haha~, I don't know what the horse does, this envoy is not an ordinary person, he is the son of Tumidu, named Po Yan, although the second son led the troops to defeat the Hui people, but this Po Yan is very generous, not only does he not hate the second son, but he thinks that the second son has a heroic bearing, plus the two talk and speculate, this is the brother with a different surname." Zhao Deyan spoke again at this time.

"It turned out to be Tumidu's son, you don't want to use Jin'er's relationship to do things in Huifu, right?" Li Xiu immediately understood when he heard this, and then looked at Zhao Deyan with a smile and said, what Feinusi did was not very bright, since this Po Yan was the son of the Hui Khan, it was very valuable for Feinusi.

"Sure enough, we can't hide it, in fact, it's not that we want to do something, but we know one thing, and we need to tell this matter to the woman through the mouth of the second son." Zhao Deyan smiled again at this time.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiu asked at the moment.

"This matter is nothing to our Datang, but it is a matter of turning the sky upside down for Hui Hui, that is, Tumidu's nephew Wu Su wants to rebel and kill Tumidu to become a Khan." Zhao Deyan replied.

"I see, but how do you know that Wu Su is going to rebel against such an important matter?" Li Xiu nodded first, and then asked suspiciously, although the relationship between Hui Su and Datang is good, but it is too far away from Datang, even if Feinusi has great powers, he will not easily know such an important matter.

"Hehe, speaking of which, this Wu Su has cooperated with our Fei Nusi before, and the reason why Bazhuo died so quickly is because he is a pawn by Bazhuo's side, and the reason why he is willing to do this is because we promised to support him to sit on the throne of the Great Khan of Hui." Zhao Deyan smiled cheekily at this time.

"Then why are you betraying him now?" Li Xiu heard this even more strange words, although it is not moral to cross the river and tear down the bridge, it is simply too common for Fei Nusi.

"Originally, we didn't think about crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but this Wu Su's ambition is too big, some time ago, Hui Hui encroached on Xue Yantuo's homeland, in fact, it was the ghost behind Wu Su, he hoped to use this matter to use the hand of the Tang Dynasty to weaken the strength of Tu Mi, and at the same time covet Xue Yantuo's homeland, this kind of ambitious person is very difficult to control, but Tu Mi Du is old, and he has no ambition, so we don't want Wu Su to take the throne." Zhao Deyan opened his mouth to explain.

Hearing this, Li Xiu finally nodded, although this matter involved Li Jin, it didn't have much to do with it, so he didn't object, Zhao Deyan saw that he agreed, and he was relieved at the moment, and then he told Li Xiu about the situation of Li Jin and Ping'an Lang in the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate.

"By the way, something happened in the palace today, and I feel a little bad, so I want to hear your opinion." At this moment, he suddenly saw Zhao Deyan say with a serious expression, Li Jin's news was only brought by him by the way, and now this matter is the real purpose of his coming to Li Xiu.
