Qin Shi Huang in order to seek immortality, did not hesitate to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to seek immortality, and he also made a bad example for later emperors, countless emperors in the pursuit of immortality on the road to go farther and farther, and even abandoned the government for this reason, and the pursuit of immortality emperors are not all mediocre, but there are some very wise emperors, in their later years, they will also follow this mistake, such as a generation of male lord Li Shimin.

Soon after Li Su returned to Taiwan from Yangzhou, he received news from Chang'an that his father Li Shimin had actually started to take Wushi San, and raised a group of Taoist priests in the palace to help him refine pills, and even secretly sent people to search for alchemy materials, and even some overseas businessmen knew about it.

For this situation, although there are many ministers in the court and the central government, but because Wei Zheng has died, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and others are old and sick, Li Zhi and Xiao Yu are still on the way back to Chang'an, and others can't persuade Li Shimin at all, so some people think of Li Su and write to tell him about it, hoping that Li Su can admonish Li Shimin.

"How do you think this matter should be handled, is it true that you want me to go back to Chang'an?" Li Su hurriedly summoned Wang An, Lu Hong and others to come to think of countermeasures, Li Shimin is his father, and he is also the biggest help to support his overseas development, so Li Su does not want to see Li Shimin's physical problems more than anyone else.

"Your Highness, don't worry, His Majesty the Emperor has just started taking pills now, and there are some ministers next to him to admonish him, so for the time being, His Majesty is still very cautious about taking pills, and we still have time to prepare!" Lu Hong was the first to stand up and speak.

"Yes, Your Highness must not mess around. Although Lord Wei has passed away, there are still some upright ministers in the court. Especially Fang Xiang and Wei Gong are still there, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be about to return to Chang'an. We need to write a letter to all three of them now, and then join forces to advise Your Majesty, if it doesn't work, then we can only let Your Highness go back to Chang'an in person!" Cui Wei also spoke. He is now in charge of the administration of the Qi Palace, and also serves as the assassin of Taiwan.

Li Su nodded helplessly when he heard Cui Wei's words, and now he could only think of this way.

However, at this time, Wang An, who was in charge of government affairs, said with a smile: "Your Highness, in fact, it is not difficult to persuade Your Majesty, has Your Highness forgotten that there is still someone in the palace who can influence Your Majesty?" ”

"The Imperial Palace?" Li Su was stunned for a moment, and then patted his head. At the moment, he also laughed and said, "It's that the king is confused, if the queen mother persuades her, it is indeed possible to make the father change his mind!" ”

And Lu Hong and the others immediately woke up when they heard the conversation between Wang An and Li Su, just now they only thought about admonishing Li Shimin in the court, but they forgot that if the court can't get through, there are people in the harem who can do it, after all, Empress Changsun has always been respected by His Majesty the Emperor, and her words have much weight than ordinary courtiers.

Thinking of Empress Eldest Sun. Li Su finally calmed down, and he carefully analyzed this matter, especially the reason why Li Shimin took the pill, but Li Su suddenly thought of it. Li Shimin is 48 years old this year, and the peak of his entire life has been completed, and it has begun to decline. The energy is definitely not as good as before, and Li Shimin must have felt this. with his character. He will definitely not accept old age, so he takes pills. It's not necessarily that he wants to seek immortality, but he just wants to restore some of the energy he had when he was young, so as to show that he is not old.

Thinking of this, Li Su finally breathed a sigh, with his understanding of Li Shimin, ninety percent of the above analysis may be the real reason why Li Shimin took the pill, and if the reason is found, it will be much easier to think of a solution.

However, Li Su then thought that if it was really as he analyzed, then although Empress Changsun could persuade her, she couldn't persuade her, and even if Li Shimin obeyed Empress Changsun's advice on the surface, if she still took the pill in secret, it would be really helpless, so the top priority now is to let Li Shimin face the fact that he is aging, and there is also the harm of taking pills, these two points are the key, but it is not easy to do it.

At that moment, Li Su told the reasons for his analysis and the two keys to solving this matter, and asked Wang An and them to think about it. After all, one person's ability is limited, and only by gathering everyone's wisdom can we better solve the problem.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang An suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Your Highness's analysis is very reasonable, I believe this should be what Your Majesty thinks in your heart, as for letting Your Majesty face the fact that he is aging, or the harm of taking pills, these two things are actually enough to make Your Majesty change his mind as long as one of them can be done, but in comparison, I think it is easier to make His Majesty realize the harm of pills." ”

As soon as Wang An's words fell, Wang Zihao, who had not spoken, suddenly stood up and bowed and said: "Your Highness, some time ago, a ship of Persian merchants was seized in the port of the Lion City, and a batch of strange medicines were found on their ship, and they also held a warrant signed by His Majesty the Emperor in their hands, but the batch of things that claimed to be medicines were really a little strange, and the officials who inspected them didn't know if this kind of thing was poisonous?" Therefore, out of prudence, it was reported, and the subordinates temporarily withheld these drugs, intending to find out. ”

After Li Su left Chang'an last time, Wang Zihao also came to Taiwan from Chang'an, and is now in charge of the commercial development of various places under Li Su's rule, which is like a fish in water for Wang Zihao, who was born as a businessman, plus Wang An's mention, so now he has become one of the heavyweights in Taiwan's officialdom.

Hearing Wang Zihao's words, Li Su's eyes lit up, and he asked a little eagerly: "Zihao, are you sure that the other party is holding a warrant signed by his father?" ”

"Although this highness can rest assured, the other party's warrant is indeed true, and there is also a Taoist priest in the palace with the ship, he is in charge of the drug procurement this time, and now all the drugs and people have been sent to Taiwan for inspection, if there is no accident, it will be sent back to Datang in a few days." Wang Zihao said with great certainty.

"Good! Pass on the king's warrant, immediately send those medicines to the palace, I will personally test them, as for the Taoist priest, I will also bring them over, I will personally interrogate! Li Su was full of excitement and said, this Taoist priest came too timely.

"Your Majesty obeys!" Wang Zihao agreed, turned around and went out to convey Li Su's order.

Immediately afterwards, Li Su ordered someone to go to the medical school again, and brought Cui Mengxue and several erudite old doctors in the academy to all of them, first, to ask them to help identify the medicine, and in addition, Li Su also wanted to ask the Taoist priest, what kind of pill was Li Shimin going to refine? What materials are needed? These need to be analyzed with the help of professionals.

Wang Zihao's movements were very fast, the batch of medicines was sent to the palace first, there were a total of seven or eight large boxes, and when Li Su and they curiously opened a large box containing medicines, they found that there were rows of neat and neat small jade boxes inside, because he was worried about poison, so an old doctor from the medical school wore gloves, and then reached out and picked up a small jade box to open, and found that it contained a golden paste.

"Fleur!" As a result, the old doctor of the medical school immediately screamed in surprise, and at this time, Cui Mengxue and other old doctors also surrounded them, and after their identification, they confirmed that this thing was a hibiscus from Persia, Rome and other places.

"Fleur, why is this name so familiar?" Li Su plucked out his ears, and always felt that he had heard this name somewhere, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't remember it, and finally had to ask again, "Mengxue, what is this thing for, is it poisonous?" ”

Cui Mengxue also studied A Hibiscus, so she immediately replied after hearing this: "Your Royal Highness, A Hibiscus is a kind of medicinal material, which can treat abdominal pain, dysentery and other diseases, originally produced in Persia and other places, the plant that produces A Hibiscus is called Forget Worry Grass by the Persians, because its flower color is very beautiful, so there are also people in the Tang Dynasty who plant it, but it is more just for ornamentation, and the medicinal A Hibiscus is generally imported from Persia, but I have asked Imperial Doctor Sun for Taoist alchemy, but I have never heard of which elixir needs to use A Hibiscus!" ”

"A hibiscus, forget the worries and have beautiful flowers?" Li Su seemed to have discovered something from these characteristics, frowned and lowered his head and groaned, but then suddenly raised his head and scolded at the moment, "Fuck, what kind of bullshit Ah Furong, isn't this fucking opium?" ”

Li Su finally remembered the origin of Ah Furong, but then he was furious, and now he didn't need to know what pills the Taoist priests in the palace were going to refine, just the fact that they paid opium tribute to Li Shimin was enough to scrape them with a thousand knives.

"Opium?" Cui Mengxue and Wang An were both confused, and they didn't understand why Li Su's face suddenly changed drastically, and he was so angry?

At this moment, Wang Zihao walked into the palace with a Taoist priest, bowed down and reported to Li Suyu: "Your Royal Highness, the palace is dedicated to the Taoist priest Huo Yuanzi and the Persian merchant Ashan Lu to bring!" ”

"Good, good! Come on, drag me down and unload eight pieces! Li Su was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, but these two guys just hit the muzzle of the gun, so he didn't even ask, and immediately wanted people to cut them out. After all, he knows the dangers of opium better than anyone else, and they even dared to blatantly sacrifice it to Li Shimin, fortunately they were encountered by themselves, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, Li Su was obviously carried away by anger, and he didn't know that opium appeared very early, but opium smoking appeared very late, and opium appeared as a drug at the beginning, and the other party bought these opiums, maybe just as an ordinary drug, so the other party could not be sentenced to death because of this.
