If the martial arts worship Zuo Shaoyang as his father-in-law, it will be a good thing for him, and the relationship between himself and Zuo Shaoyang will be closer. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 How to bring the two families closer is an issue that he attaches great importance to now. For this reason, he did not hesitate to marry his sister and daughter to the Zuo family, and let his son marry the daughter of the Zuo family. Now his talented people worship Zuo Shaoyang as his father-in-law, and he will only make this relationship closer. So the emperor rejoiced when he heard this.

Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "I told you this, just to make you better for my righteous daughter in the future." ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Okay, why don't I order her to be summoned back?" ”

"There's no hurry, let's just let her stay in Ganye Temple and practice Buddhism. I want to recruit her back to the palace, and I will talk about it when you have succeeded in cultivating Taoism. Now there are too many women, and it will delay your cultivation. ”

The emperor nodded and said, "Okay, in the future, if I have a successful Taoism, I will announce that he will return to the palace." ”

Immediately, Li Shimin summoned the ministers of the court and announced that he would follow his senior brother to Huashan to practice for half a year, during which the crown prince Li Zhi would temporarily take charge of the government. The eldest grandson Wuji assisted from the side. Unless there is a major war, nothing can be reported in the mountains. Those who delay the emperor's cultivation will be beheaded!

In the past year, the emperor has been obsessed with Taoism, and most of the affairs of the government and the opposition have been handled by ministers such as Changsun Wuji, and now the emperor proposes to go into the mountains to practice, although it happened suddenly, but it still did not surprise Changsun Wuji and others.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the temporary regent of the crown prince Li Zhi immediately asked the military department Shangshu to send soldiers and horses to guard the Huashan where the emperor was going, and searched the mountain overnight to ensure the emperor's safety. He also ordered the chief of the Ouchi guard to take dozens of martial arts masters, pretending to be woodcutters and others on the mountain to secretly protect the emperor and his father-in-law, Zuo Shaoyang.

When Empress Changsun learned of this, she also panicked, and was busy preparing more than a dozen carts of utensils for the emperor and them. After this busy time, it was afternoon. Empress Eldest Sun discussed with Zuo Shaoyang to set off early the next morning, Zuo Shaoyang was worried that the night would be long and dreamy, for fear that Wu Meiniang, who was seriously ill, would find herself through the prince and ask for treatment, which would be troublesome, so she insisted on setting off immediately. Empress Changsun had no choice but to agree.

This matter was very secretive, and only the queen, the crown prince, and several ministers of the court knew about it. Even the officials in charge of closing the mountain did not know the reason for closing the mountain and searching the mountain.

When Zuo Shaoyang and the others came to the foot of Huashan, it was already dark.

Zuo Shaoyang pointed to the more than ten carts that came with him and asked the emperor: "Do you plan to carry more than a dozen carts of things up the mountain by yourself?" ”

Li Shimin smiled: "I don't let them prepare, they have to, okay, according to the requirements of my senior brother, I only bring what I need." ”

After that, Li Shimin took a bow and arrows and a long sword, carried a bag of dry food, carried a bag of pots and pans, oil and salt, and walked towards Huashan.

Zuo Shaoyang smiled at this time. led Li Shimin up the mountain.

When the prince asked about the place of cultivation before coming, Zuo Shaoyang did not say that the previous time he and Xianyun practiced near the Evian Temple, because there was a treasure, he was worried that he would be searched by the officials and soldiers who searched the mountain, so he pointed to another mountain peak, which was more than 100 miles away, and it was also a very dangerous place.

Although Li Shimin is an emperor on horseback, after all, he has been pampered for more than 20 years, and he is already in his fifties, and he has not been practicing the Taoist technique of strengthening his body for a long time, so after climbing a short half of the mountain, he is already out of breath and sweating.

Zuo Shaoyang didn't give him time to rest at all, he walked up the mountain very easily, the emperor gritted his teeth and followed, Li Shimin was also a person who refused to admit defeat, although he was tired and panting like an old cow, he never asked to rest for a while.

climbed until midnight, and Zuo Shaoyang said leisurely: "Okay, let's rest here for one night, and we'll leave tomorrow morning." ”

The emperor sat on his ass in the grass, lying on all fours, his whole body as if he had fallen apart, panting for breath, unable to speak.

Zuo Shaoyang didn't care about him, he pulled a hammock between the two trees, lay on it, looked at the stars in the sky from the treetops, and teased: "Senior brother, cultivating in the mountains is still harder than your imperial garden, right?" Do you want to quit? Your armor is right down the hill, and it's easy to turn back. ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Shimin got up, without saying a word, took out the hammock from his backpack, and was also learning from Zuo Shaoyang's example, tied it between the two trees, climbed up, and wanted to turn over and lie down, but as soon as the hammock turned over, there was a bang, and he fell off the hammock.

Zuo Shaoyang laughed: "Senior brother, it seems that you still have to learn how to sleep!" ”

Li Shimin got up, stood in front of the hammock and thought about it, and tentatively jumped like a back-to-back jump, lying on his back in the hammock, this time. The hammock shook violently several times, but it did not tip over again.

The emperor smirked, "How is it?" Senior brother, don't underestimate me, I think back then, I was also a person who suffered hardships! ”

"Really? There's still a lot of suffering in the future. Take it easy! Go to bed! With that, I fell asleep.

The emperor looked up at the starry sky among the treetops, and listened to all kinds of strange sounds in the mountains and forests in the middle of the night, it was already late autumn, and a cold wind was blowing, and the sweat on his back was very uncomfortable. He wanted to change his clothes, but he didn't bring many clothes, only two sets in total, and if he did, he would be gone. And tomorrow I have to climb the mountain, and I am sweaty again, so it is better to change it when I get to the place.

But this cold was very uncomfortable, the emperor silently returned to the void vomiting technique, and soon, the body warmed up, the sweat on the back also evaporated, and the whole body was comfortable.

This is the first time he has used Taoism to keep out the cold, and after finding that it is effective, he is even more happy, and he has practiced silently for a while, refreshed, satisfied, and sleeps peacefully.

On the fifth watch of the second day, the two of them woke up almost at the same time, after all, the emperor had also practiced Taoism for more than half a year, so he also developed a habit.

Both of them got out of the hammock in silence, crossed their knees on the grass, and began to practice the technique of returning to the void and spitting out.

Two hours later, I packed my bags and continued to climb to the top of the mountain.

It was almost at the top of the mountain, and Zuo Shaoyang asked the emperor to find his own place to cultivate first. The emperor found a shallow cave as a place of practice. Zuo Shaoyang found a place on the mountain hundreds of zhang away from him and built a grass hut that was unobstructed on all sides.

From this day on, the two cultivated separately. Emperor Li Shimin's adaptability was very strong, and he quickly adapted to the cultivation of the mountains and forests, which surprised Zuo Shaoyang.

In the blink of an eye, two months have passed, and the Spring Festival is here again. Cultivators are not festive, but on the day of the Spring Festival, Zuo Shaoyang and the emperor still got together to roast venison and drink a pot of wine, which is considered a festival.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has been five months since they went up the mountain!

Zuo Shaoyang estimated that Wu Meiniang must have been poisoned and died, but the emperor had decreed that except for the war, the rest of the things were not allowed to go up the mountain to report, so the news did not reach the mountain.

Zuo Shaoyang is very happy, as soon as Wu Meiniang dies, his daughter will be safe, the world will be peaceful, and the Li family of the Tang Dynasty will not be wiped out by Wu Zetian, who is the empress, as if killing chickens and sheep. Hello, hello, hello everyone!

On this day, Zuo Shaoyang was hunting in the mountains with great interest when he heard a slight sound of crossing the bushes.

Although there are also Ouchi guards pretending to be woodcutters wandering around, they are all far away from them, for fear of disturbing the emperor's cultivation. And this time, it has been close to more than ten zhang, which is unprecedented, and the sound of walking is not Emperor Li Shimin.

The mountain was surrounded by the Imperial Guards on all sides, and no one could climb it. So this person can't be a local villager.

Is it the enemy?

Not like! Because the world is peaceful, there are no rebels left, and there is only one person coming.

Zuo Shaoyang waited quietly.

Finally, the man appeared in the bushes a few steps away, it was a middle-aged man who looked like a woodcutter, the man saw Zuo Shaoyang, his face was happy, he stepped forward quickly, knelt down and kowtowed: "Divine doctor!" I've found you! ”

"Who are you?" Left Shaoyang Road.

"The little one is the guard of the prince's east palace, and on the order of the prince, there is an urgent letter to be handed over to the divine doctor."

Zuo Shaoyang's heart moved, the prince's person? Epistle? What could it be? Wu Meiniang was poisoned to death two months ago, and the prince sent someone to find him at this time, it shouldn't be for her business, could it be that something happened to her daughter?

Zuo Shaoyang's heart immediately tightened, and he quickly took the letter, tore it open and hurriedly looked at it, it was his daughter who had something, but it was not a bad thing but a good thing, - her daughter was pregnant!

That is to say, he is going to be a grandfather, and his grandson is the eldest son of the crown prince Li Zhi, and he is likely to be the next emperor in the future!

His grandson is going to be emperor! Zuo Shaoyang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. The guard smiled happily when he saw Zuo Shaoyang grinning, and he also laughed along.

Zuo Shaoyang then looked down, and the smile on his face quickly disappeared.

Wu Meiniang is not dead!

The letter said that since Zuo Shaoyang followed the emperor into the mountains to cultivate, Wu Meiniang missed her father-in-law, didn't think about tea and dinner, and became depressed. Li Zhi asked the Tai Doctor to diagnose and treat the Tai Doctor, but the medicine was ineffective. In the end, he sent his father-in-law Du Ming, a high-footed imperial doctor, to diagnose and treat him, but it had no effect. In desperation, I wanted to go into the mountain to seek treatment from my father-in-law, but I was worried about disturbing my father-in-law's cultivation. So he invited Zuo Wenshan, the youngest son of the Zuo family, to go for diagnosis and treatment, and several doses of decoction turned out to be very good. After more than a month of conditioning, it has been cured! The crown prince has decreed the appointment of Zuo Wenshan as the attendant physician of the East Palace Medicine Bureau. Dr. Feng Zhongsan. At present, Wu Meiniang is now in good health, but she is very concerned about her father-in-law, hoping to take care of her precious body.

Zuo Shaoyang couldn't cry or laugh when he read the letter, he couldn't imagine that his youngest son would run out at this time and cure Wu Meiniang's poisoning! also became the prince's waiter on the fifth grade.

The youngest son Zuo Wenshan has been studying medicine with Zuo Shaoyang since he was a child, much longer than Du Ming's teacher, and he has a high talent for medicine.

Zuo Shaoyang didn't expect that his eleven-year-old son would make trouble!

This is troublesome, since the youngest son will cure cinnabar poisoning, even if Wu Meiniang doesn't know that her illness is caused by cinnabar, after poisoning in the future, if she finds her younger son for treatment, she will still be poisoned. can't kill Wu Meiniang!

It seems that I have to think of a new trick to deal with Wu Meiniang.

Zuo Shaoyang asked the chamberlain to go back first, and then come here at the same time the next day to get the letter back.

The waiter left, and Zuo Shaoyang was very depressed and went up to a big tree, sitting on the tree and thinking about it.

It's better to let her die without a trace! But how can it not be revealed? With drugs? Although there are still many medicines that are actually poisonous, and the ancients did not know that they were poisonous. However, now that the youngest son has stepped in and become the prince's physician, he has done his best to pass on his true legacy, and no matter what kind of medicine he uses, he can be cured. Therefore, it is no longer possible to achieve the purpose of medication.

Tell the emperor about the prince's fornication with Wu Meiniang? This move is very vicious, and if the emperor knows about it, he is likely to kill Wu Meiniang in the harem of the Silver Rebellion, but the prince is only afraid of it. Then her own daughter will be a widow. Now that her daughter is pregnant with the prince's child, do you want the child to be born without a father?

You can't break up in one shot, you have to find another way.

Send a killer to kill Wu Meiniang? This trick is also feasible, and now Wu Meiniang is in the temple, it is relatively easy to succeed, but there is no unventilated wall in the world, once this matter is known to the emperor or the prince, it is an unclean ass!

Zuo Shaoyang was very distressed and taught his apprentices, and his master was tied up in doing things. How good is that?

Zuo Shaoyang thought about it for a day and a night, but he didn't think of a good way. Only when the opportunity is acted, it is best to find a way to get Wu Meiniang back, and then find fault with her and let the emperor kill her. No one is perfect, faults can always be found, and he is his father-in-law, so he can get close to her and find faults.

Zuo Shaoyang felt that his face was hot, he used to treat diseases and save people, but this time he wanted to kill people, and if he couldn't kill once, he would kill the second and third times, which was too contrary to the medical ethics he believed in, but there was no way, for the sake of his daughter's happiness and safety in the future, he could only kill Wu Zetian!

He wrote a reply letter, pretending to say that he was very worried about the body of his righteous daughter Wu Meiniang, and said that if Wu Meiniang recovered, then the cinnabar could not be eaten, anyway, the poisoned son could be solved, and there was no need to let her eat it again, so as not to get Wu Meiniang repeatedly poisoned, arouse suspicion, but it would be self-defeating. Then he gave the letter to the chamberlain.

After a few days, the half-year practice was finally over. The emperor and Zuo Shaoyang went down to Huashan, and the crown prince Li Zhi, the eldest grandson empress, and the important ministers of the imperial court, who were already waiting below, were eager to see through. Finally saw two savages coming down, the queen and the others were happy and sad, and they greeted them with tears, regardless of the others, and cried when they hugged them.

In the past six months, the crown prince Li Zhi is very diligent in governing the country, and everything is handled very properly, the emperor nodded frequently after listening, and praised Li Zhi, claiming that he will go into the mountains to practice for half a year every year in the future, and during this period, the crown prince Li Zhi will still take care of state affairs.

This made Zuo Shaoyang secretly anxious, and he had to speed up, find Wu Meiniang's fault as soon as possible, and kill her, so that he could enjoy peace.
