To Li Chun's surprise, after the edict was promulgated, the scholar's reaction was very cold, which made Li Chun very depressed and angry: What is this? Non-violent non-cooperation? You are all sanctimonious, what have you done behind the scenes, do you know nothing about me? Fire Spirit Library, Autumn Stone, Wushi San, Stalactites, Mica, these so-called elixirs, how many of you haven't eaten them? Why can't I eat when you can eat?

In fact, Li Chun's resentment is understandable, after all, Li Chun is not a scholar and does not understand the twists and turns in their stomachs. Those sanctimonious literati, at least on the issue of seeking immortals and medicines, have always been lenient and strict with others: on the one hand, they are frantically chasing immortality; On the other hand, they contradictory to criticize this grotesque social atmosphere. Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen are typical representatives of this kind of characters.

If this other person is replaced by the emperor, then the scholars and doctors have several choices, to be specific, four: either to meet the wishes, or to make a direct admonition, or to knock on the side, or to avoid it.

For most literati, it is not possible to meet the will of the emperor in this matter, because the Chinese literati have integrity, and one of the virtues is not to meet the evil of the king, which will damage their reputation. Moreover, once the emperor has an accident, it will not only damage his reputation, but also very likely to take his own life, and even the lives of his wife and children, parents and brothers.

Outspoken? This is a relatively risky choice, the guy who can't eat has to move, life is so good, the elixir is so wonderful, I don't want to die yet!

Side-knocking? If you meet an emperor who is not very smart, you spend a long time trying to go around one circle after another, but his old man doesn't understand a word, isn't it a blind man lighting a lamp in vain? If you meet a smarter son of heaven and understand it, Long Yan will be furious, saying that if you scold him in a roundabout way, where will there be any good fruit to eat!

Therefore, the shrewd scholar actually has only one choice left, and that is to keep his mouth shut, so that he can not only save his life, but also his reputation, why not?

Others can be silent, but our poet Li He can't! Because Li He's body has the blood of the imperial family flowing in his body, the emperor taking medicine is a family matter, so how can he stand by and watch. So, our Mr. Li He was comfortably guarding the Dan furnace and refining his elixir; With a stroke of the pen, he wrote two lines of poetry: "Liu Chemao's tomb is full of bones, and the coffin of Ying Zheng is abalone", using the allusion of the Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty to seek immortals, satirizing Li Chun, who was alchemist. Through the spicy verses, Li Chun seemed to see Li He's bad smiling face: Seeking immortals and medicine? We can, you can't! Because, you are the emperor!

However, at this moment, Li Chun, on the issue of seeking immortals and medicine, has already been Wang Ba eating scales and iron-hearted, it is really a heart of ice in the Dan furnace, and his heart is like a rock without transfer! He believed that after all, someone would not be able to resist the temptation and take the initiative to send him the jade liquid elixir that he had dreamed of.

Sure enough, a second fly buzzed over.
