Chapter 35: Greedy Mother and Son

Previously, the saint had no children, and Shao Yuanjie thought that it was the emperor's lack of lust, so he refined a large number of pills, of course, it is an aphrodisiac called pills. For Zhu Houxi, the efficacy of these medicinal materials is not as good as the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor, but it immediately ignited Zhu Houxi's already strong lust, and it turned from a raging fire to a burning city.

As for the final effect, I didn't see anything, the emperor still didn't have a prince or princess, and I don't know which day Zhu Houxi heard someone say something without eggs, he thought he was talking about himself, but he beheaded a lot of people in a rage, Shao Yuanjie is afraid when he thinks about it now, if the emperor remembers that he is useless, then there is no place to breathe now. It's not time to gloat, and maybe sometime, I'll be separated. Hey, the saint's mentality is messed up, he is getting more and more anxious, suspicious, he may think of any sentence, think of seizing power and think of ridicule, and the luckier ones are assigned to the army, and the only ones who are not good are to report on Huangquan Road.

Seeing that Emperor Zhu Houxi's body is getting worse and worse because of his greed for wine, although his body was thin when he first entered Beijing, he was still quite strong, but now he has simply hollowed out his body and become a thin bamboo pole, even if he eats all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, he can't get fat, let alone be strong. In the early years, I saw a set of majestic and life-killing thirteen knives, although it can only be imitated to three or four points, it is nothing more than an overwhelmed use of the fist and embroidered legs, but at least it is flexible and healthy, and now it will be out of breath when it moves, like a terminally ill old man.

Speaking of which, Lu Bing, the big celebrity around Zhu Houxi, went out to fight at that time, Shao Yuanjie had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Otherwise, if you don't hold on to today, you will have to be by Lu Bing, Lu Bing's eyes can't rub sand, and Lu Bing's knowledgeable pit is not good to be abducted and deceived by him.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhu Houxi's body is getting weaker and weaker. But no one dared to say it. As for the person concerned, Zhu Houxi, he also knew the fact that his body was declining, but first, he didn't want to admit it, and secondly, he was already addicted to it, so he still asked Shao Yuanjie to refine aphrodisiacs, but at the same time, he also ordered him to hurry up and produce medicine that could produce a prince. Or pray to the heavens for the blessing of the Son of God.

Shao Yuanjie was dumbfounded, he knew the sky, but how the hell did the god know himself. If you keep doing this, you're going to have to goof. When the time comes, not only will the emperor kill himself, but even the masterminds behind his own scenes, those masters will not be able to spare themselves, although they can't think of the Tao and their needs. But it is inferred that their purpose must have something to do with their status. If your position is not guaranteed, your life will not be guaranteed. Not to mention reasoning and Shao Yuanjie's own hunch, the immortal medicine thought about his own way out, so Shao Yuanjie began to plan an escape, and now he can't afford to provoke and can't hide, Shao Yuanjie proposed to the emperor earlier that he go to the East China Sea to see the immortals.

Zhu Houxi is just a lustful person who is greedy for pleasure, and he is not stupid, and he has run so many charlatans in the previous dynasty. There is a lesson from the past, where can Shao Yuanjie be allowed to escape. So, it's okay not to mention it. As soon as Shao Yuanjie said that he was going to see the Shenma Immortals, he was immediately taken special care by the emperor, and there were still a bunch of soldiers outside the door, which was called to protect Shao Yuanjie, but it was surveillance and house arrest, until the emperor could produce dragons, and the matter was not over.

The four happy events in life, the long-term drought meets the rain, the old acquaintance in another country, the candle night in the cave room, and the title of the gold list. However, these four happy events are far worse than the current Shao Yuanjie, Shao Yuanjie is happy and then his face is full of joy, and the most reluctant back molars are exposed, and he praises good people for having good rewards, he is not high, and he put down his body and came out to see Zhang Qingze is right.

Zhang Qingze brought good news to Shao Yuanjie, invited him to participate in the refining of pills, and had the help of high-ranking people, and chose a good place for him in Shandong. Shao Yuanjie thought so, if he was refining it, he would be very happy, and if he couldn't practice it, he wouldn't be as strict as Shuntian Mansion when he came to Shandong Mansion, and he would run away with oil on the soles of his feet, not to mention that if he was really lucky enough to refine the pill, then according to what Zhang Qingze said, the other person who assisted him in refining the pill would not rob him of his credit. This kind of good thing like the best of both worlds is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so Shao Yuanjie agreed on the spot without hesitation.

Zhang Qingze is naturally very happy, he got things done as soon as he got out, and he unconsciously got a higher level in front of the heroes of the world, so he had to show off. At this moment, Shao Yuanjie asked: "Dare to ask Zhang Zhenren, who accompanied me to Shandong to accompany me to refine medicine?" I don't need to change clothes and bathe, and I pay a visit in advance with gifts. ”

"You can't say it, you can't say it. You don't have to be busy, you have the right to go to the Holy Shrine, saying that you have obtained the elixir, but you have to refine it from Dengzhou Mansion, and you don't have to worry about the rest of the things, I have my own arrangements. Zhang Qingze said, thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, before seeing Lu Bing said that he would go to Shandong Mansion was vague, so he thought that Lu Bing must have something hidden and couldn't leave the capital.

Now there is no need to discuss the adjustment, directly let Shao Yuanjie go to Emperor Ming, when Lu Bing can't go, Lu Bing will not be able to do things, he is the new leader of the Shandong Wulin League, this kind of behavior will definitely make his reputation damaged. If you do it yourself, Lu Bing can't do it, which is right and which is not immediate, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

Coincidentally, when Lu Bingzheng was distressed about how to find a reason to transfer his injuries, Zhu Houxi announced that he had come to see him, and Lu Bingzheng happened to be on duty, so in less than a stick of incense, he came to Zhu Houxi. Zhu Houxi said: "Lu Bing, do you know Shao Yuanjie?" ”

"I have heard of it, but it is a warlock." Lu Bing replied, but he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, why did the emperor take the initiative to talk to him about this matter, could it be that he learned about his secret conversation with Zhang Qingze and others?

Zhu Houxi nodded and said: "Yes, I think this person is quite amazing, today he entered the palace to ask to see, and said that he found a medicine that can allow me to plant the dragon son Lu Bing, do you know that I am really in a hurry." It has been six years since I ascended the throne, and now there is no dragon son, not even a princess, what should the courtiers say about me, and how should the people talk about me? I'm ashamed to think about it, it's a shame. Hey, the heirs of Jiangshan Sheji are very important, don't talk far. Let's just say that the first emperor Zhu Houzhao, isn't he just because he has no children, I can end my brother and ascend the throne. You see, because he has no children, so many things have happened later. If there is a prince on the throne, even if he ascends the throne at the age of nine like the orthodox Emperor Yingzong, there will be a lot less chaos in the world. The people have clouds, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. It's unfilial piety for me to do this, and it's against the expectations of my ancestors. I also failed the opportunity God gave me. ”

As soon as Zhu Houxi's voice fell, he immediately said: "Now it's different, if this Shao Yuanjie gets this elixir, then I can raise my eyebrows." I don't have to endure the chattering audience of those ministers anymore, it makes me seem to be so intolerable, and I can continue to be filial piety and orthodoxy for my descendants! Hey, speaking of which. It's not like I don't want children. It's not going to be. As everyone knows, how many women have I entered the palace over the years, and it is not that no prince has been born so far? ”

"That's very good, just let this Shao Yuanjie alchemy." Lu Bing pressed the uneasiness in his heart, and the alarm was lifted, so he followed Zhu Houxi's words and said: "In this way, Your Majesty can rest assured, and the minister will not worry about it, and everyone will be happy and celebrate together." ”

"Hey. Speaking of which, it came back to the fact that I was looking for you. Zhu Houxi sighed and said, "I'm worried about this matter, you have a lot of knowledge and a lot of knowledge." You come and tell me, what elixir has to be refined in Shandong, I told him what he needs, and someone will send it to him, Shandong is not far away, and he is not afraid of things breaking down with your Lu Bing's transportation skills. But he said that it can't be done, some things lose their effect after a few hours away from their homeland, just like Snow Lotus, do you think this kid wants to smear oil on the soles of his feet when he has no tricks. ”

"Probably not." Lu Bingdao.

Zhu Houxi's eyes widened, and he said, "How could it be, when Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to ask for immortal medicine, isn't it gone forever." Qin Shi Huang didn't say much in order to cover the world's long mouths, but no one is stupid, Qin Shi Huang was indeed deceived, enough to laugh for a thousand years. The First Emperor of such great achievements is still like this, I don't want to be used as a laughing stock anymore, and to this day, I have learned from the past and I have been deceived, that is the real big joke. ”

Zhu Houxi changed his words and said: "So, I want to send someone to go, keep an eye on Shao Yuanjie, don't let him run away." This person must be loyal to me, and he must not be bewitched by Shao Yuanjie, and Shao Yuanjie also has some martial arts friends, so this person also needs to be strong in martial arts to prevent others from being forced by force. Although Shao Yuanjie went to Shandong to refine the pill, I will definitely send troops to escort and guard, but it may not work for martial arts masters to clash head-on with the army, but it is not a problem to help Shao Yuanjie escape. Therefore, I just said that if you want to find a martial arts master with overwhelming skills to follow, you must have the prestige of the rivers and lakes and eat well in Shandong. Lu Bing, who do you say is more suitable? ”

"I can't think of it." Lu Bing hugged his fists and arched his hand, Zhu Houxi was choked, and then coughed lightly: "When Yang Tinghe said that he was going to inspect the south, and when I wanted to conquer the Haikou, where did the good man who patted his chest go?" ”

"Where did you go?" Lu Bing still asked knowingly, and when he saw that Zhu Houxi was a little anxious, he smiled: "Could it be that Your Majesty is talking about ministers?" ”

"What are you pretending to be confused, this is a pros and cons, I will analyze it for you slowly. First of all, for emotional reasons, Shandong is your second hometown, you should go back to see, and besides, isn't your wife and child also taking care of your housework in Dengzhou Mansion, and after returning to Beijing for so long, don't you want them? Secondly, the will of heaven is like this, you became the leader of the Shandong Martial Arts League according to my instructions, and then made a fortune in Shandong and returned to the capital, which is destined for you to make all preparations for me. There is no more suitable person than you, Shandong is your blessed land, you are also my favorite general, the time and place are right for you, this matter belongs to you. Zhu Houxi said decisively.

Suddenly, Zhu Houxi's face was gloomy, and he lowered his voice and said in an extremely serious tone: "In addition, I have received information, the Shen family seems to have made some moves in Shandong recently, you help me take a look, if there is something illegal, if there is, immediately exterminate it, etc., or don't rush to exterminate it, control it first, and report to me immediately." ”

"Obey." Lu Bing replied, and Zhu Houxi said: "I won't hide it from you, there have been some minor problems in the country's finances recently, and the harvests in various places are not very good. The first emperor's conquests and several trips cost the people and money, resulting in huge expenses and the emptiness of the treasury, so I have only now engaged in this imperial village system with Zhang Zhang, confiscating and dividing a large area of hereditary heaven and earth, and nationalizing it, in short, I have made efforts for economic recovery that are unimaginable to ordinary people. Only I know my suffering, this time the main thing is to let you see the Shen family's business, whether I can get a piece of the pie"

Lu Bing's heart sank, Zhu Houxi's face became more and more shameless in his opinion, not only is the Shen family's interests damaged, but even he is just saying that, he imports foreign silver and re-mints it in the future society, it is no different from counterfeiting banknotes in the future society, it is an act that seriously disrupts the economic order, it is originally his own unkindness first, and there is nothing wrong with letting Zhu Houyu share a point, there is no concept of global economy in these years, and this money is earned by others without earning it, so this matter needs to be considered in the long run.

Lu Bing hugged his fists and agreed, and then the two of them said a few more words, and then let Lu Bing retreat.

After Lu Bing left, Zhu Houxi also walked quickly towards the side hall of Renshou Palace, the Queen Mother Jiang sat on the high seat, and the eunuch and palace maid who was waiting beside her were sincerely afraid, lest this moody and grumpy Queen Mother would cut off someone's head. After Zhu Houxi gave Jiang a big salute, he said: "Mother's business is done." ”

"That's good, as long as the Shen family shares the big fat meat, the country will be rich. The Shen family has always been a fish bone stuck in the throat, they are not people in the imperial court, and they are not like Lu Bing who has direct contact with the emperor. If Lu Bing takes over this business, the feeling of being stuck in his throat will disappear, and we can take the benefits of these businesses at any time, it is a living cornucopia, inexhaustible, not some of the few dead money now. Jiang said greedily, her appearance was exactly the same as that of her son Zhu Houxi. (To be continued......)
