It was originally in the emperor's mind. The best candidate for the dean of the Army Academy is Wei Yu. But Wei Yu thought he was old. It's hard to do that. But the emperor is clear. Wei Yu is deliberately evasive. Wei Yu's student Chen Sheng. The status of the DPRK and China has skyrocketed. And Wei Yu was the dean of the Army Academy at this time. Emperor for balance. It will inevitably suppress Chen Sheng to a certain extent.

Wei Yi didn't want to see that happen. simply and neatly rejected the emperor's mandate. And proposed. In due course. Resign as the head of the Black Water Pavilion. Let the Emperor choose a meritocracy to replace.

Open a bamboo slip. Chen Sheng glanced at it slightly. The 'color' of the face changes slightly. This is an official letter from the county supervisor of Tokai County. The official document declared. A few days ago, auspicious rain fell from the sky. Coastal sea sky. Countless immortal sights appeared. And the fairy music is melodious. There are hundreds of people who can testify to this. The next day, another woodcutter met a white deer in the mountains. Follow the trail of the deer. A nine-leaf spirit bead was discovered. The county guard thought it was a miracle. I picked the reishi mushroom. Send someone to the imperial court to report the good news.

See this one. Chen Sheng said something bad in his heart. The Emperor is now interested in seeking immortals. Just sent Xu Fu and the others to the sea to look for immortals and asked. Tossing and turning such a thing. How to clean up.

The official document of the county supervisor was sent back to the Imperial Historian's Office. But the shou's recital. But you can go directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Chen Sheng couldn't intercept this recital at all. And when the Tokai County recital reached the emperor's place. It's getting more and more out of control.

I haven't waited for him to figure it out. An edict car stopped at the entrance of the 'gate' of the Imperial History Mansion. A man dressed in palace clothes. Jump off the carriage. Then he shouted loudly in a sharp guttural voice: "Chuan Yu Shi Zhongcheng. Enter the palace and face the saint."

As specified. Even at night. The Imperial Historian's Office must also have a rotating number of key officials. Including the Imperial Doctor and his two lieutenants. Imperial history in the middle of the Cheng and 'servant' imperial history. The three of them take turns to be on duty for the night. In case of emergency. There are people who have an emergency.

Tonight happened to be Chen Sheng's turn to be on duty. Therefore, the edict car of the royal palace came directly to the 'gate' of the Imperial History Mansion. Shouted loudly.

See the eunuchs of the royal palace.' The doorkeeper did not dare to be careless. Hurriedly sent someone to report to Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng naturally didn't dare to slack off. Just puzzled. The emperor summoned himself in the middle of the night. So for what. Thinking about these days. There was a rumor in the palace that the emperor was in poor health. There was no pilgrimage. His heart is full of joy. It's too late to change into court clothes. And he ran out. See the eunuch. It's too late to give a gift. He was seized by the eunuch with one hand. Said hurriedly: "Lord Zhongcheng. Your Majesty has summoned you to the palace. Please come with me." Pulling Chen Sheng and walking to the edict car. Chen Sheng saw that this eunuch was very young. It's also quite familiar. Thought about it. Then I remembered the time of the last dynasty. This little eunuch often followed the emperor. I think the status in the palace is not low.

Stand on top of the edict car. Chen Sheng quietly took out a small bag of gold from his sleeve. into the hand of the eunuch. He asked in a low voice, "Chang 'served' my lord. Why did the emperor summon me?"

"My lord. I can't do it." The little eunuch followed the emperor and took care of the emperor's daily life. Naturally, it is clear that Chen Sheng is an upstart in the DPRK. How dare you take a bribe from him? Panicked: "The slave's name is Fang Gen. It's better for adults to call the slave by name." Fang Gen paused. He lowered his voice and said, "The Holy God has been tired for the past few days." Spirits' sluggishness. Towards the Imperial Doctor is helpless. Because I heard that Lord Wen is a master of medicine. That's why the slave and maid summoned the adults into the palace."

Chen Sheng frowned. I just stuffed the money bag in my hand into Fang Gen's hand. Only then did he ask, "What has the Holy One done lately? Fang Chang's 'waiter' can you tell your subordinates about it."

Chen Sheng's attitude is very sincere. Fang Gen hesitated for a moment. I weighed the money bag in my hand again. Quietly put the money bag in his arms. Near Chen Sheng's ear. Said a few words. To know. The inner 'servant' befriended the minister. This is a great sin of killing the head. Especially the whereabouts of the Emperor. It is an unforgivable sin. But after thinking of Chen Sheng's position in the imperial court and the weight of the money bag in his hands. I still gritted my teeth and said.

Chen Sheng listened very carefully. Good for a while. A satisfied smile appeared on his face. Said: "Thank you very much."

"My lord. The words of the slave. Don't get into the ears of others. Otherwise, the Fangen people will all be miserable." Fang Gen said tremblingly.

"This is natural." Chen Sheng said with a solemn face.

……

The Emperor is indeed sick.

But it's not a big deal. Just on the way to the hunt. Brought back a lot of beautiful 'women' from all over the world to pay tribute. So the body is a little unbearable. I just feel groggy all day long.

"Holy Lord. Lord Zhongcheng is already waiting outside the dormitory." Fang Gen ran into the emperor's palace in small steps. Kneel down and whisper.

"Call." The Emperor's voice was still majestic. It's just that the middle qi is slightly insufficient.

"Minister. CHEN Sheng. Long live the emperor who has seen me." It was the first time that Chen Sheng was summoned by the emperor alone. I was also a little apprehensive in my heart. After going in. Then he kowtowed to Byna.

"Get up." The emperor's voice was much more casual than it was in the last dynasty. Said: "Chen Sheng. I've been feeling a little unwell these days. Tired. The mediocre Imperial Physicians were helpless against it. I have heard that you are a master of healing. Can you diagnose one or two for me?"

A wry smile flashed across Chen Sheng's face. The heart is not the incompetence of the imperial doctor. It's the emperor, you are too "capable". From the mouth of Fang Gen. Recently. His Majesty the Emperor has to summon a few palace concubines to sleep every night. The big was slept together. And so on for so long. Even a body made of steel is going to collapse. How much more flesh and blood; Chen Sheng thinks. You should remind the emperor yourself. It's time to restrain this indulgent life.

"Your Majesty. His Majesty's breath is sluggish. Poor blood gas.' The spirits also seem to be a little sluggish. But there is restlessness. The feeling of irritability and 'tightness' in the chest."

"Hmm. There is." The Emperor nodded. He does not shy away from medical treatment.

"Actually, Your Majesty's illness. It's not hard to find the cause." Chen Sheng hesitated. I looked at the inner 'waiters' around me. The Emperor smiled slightly. With a wave of your hand. The inner 'waiters' came out in streams. Less than a moment. Inside the dormitory. Only Chen Sheng and the emperor were left."

"You're trying to say. I'm overindulgent. So much so that it hurt me." The smile on the emperor's face remained unchanged. But the sound made Chen Sheng feel a chill.

Chen Sheng felt a chill in his back. Don't dare to answer. In fact, in my heart, I have already marked the word "correct" for the answer given by the emperor himself.

But thinking of the emperor's words seems to have something to say. Chen Sheng had doubts in his heart. Suddenly something seemed to come to mind. Said: "Your Majesty. That's what the minister wants to say. But Your Majesty is not a king who indulges in lust. There must be a reason."

The emperor's eyes lit up slightly. Said: "What do you think? Let's talk about it."

Chen Sheng smiled wryly again. Said: "Holy Lord. When he was studying medicine. I've heard of a delirium called 'Intrauterine Surgery'. Fang Shi Demon Man. Those who often hold this theory preach that this method can make people immortal and 'confuse' people's hearts. Your Majesty has been 'bewitched' by the Fang Shi? Chen Sheng's words are very bold. When the Emperor heard this. The brows are raised.

"Your Majesty. The art of immortality may be available. But I want to seek immortality from this harmful method of destroying people's essence. It's just a mirror 'flower' water moon. It's just an empty talk." Chen Sheng hurriedly added. Hit the emperor's enthusiasm for cultivating immortals and seeking immortality. Chen Sheng didn't have the courage to do so for the time being. The emperor's 'sexual' personality is extremely perverse. Although I appreciate Chen Sheng a lot at the moment. But the emperor turned his face and did not recognize people. Even a few more Chen Sheng. It's still not enough for the emperor to kill it.

"Oh." Seeing that Chen Sheng did not completely deny his behavior of cultivating immortals. The Emperor was slightly surprised. There is even a faint expectation in my heart. "The Way of Immortality. How to ask for it."

Chen Sheng felt a dilemma in his heart. He hadn't done anything like that. Naturally, there was no experience to pass on to the emperor. But it's not good to dampen the emperor's enthusiasm. Chen Sheng shook his head. Said: "Your Majesty. The Way of Eternal Life. There are thousands of kinds. But the minister knew nothing. But the minister had heard of it. Daoben asks in his heart. Do not seek external objects. But seek it from your heart. The heart is naturally immortal." Chen Sheng said something he didn't understand. But let the emperor chew for a long time.

"How to say that the heart is right." The emperor looked humbly asking for advice.

Chen Sheng's face twisted into a twisted 'flower' shape in an instant. Then it was back to normal right away. Sitting upright. said: "This is indescribable. But Your Majesty is sick now. There is no need to take 'medicine' or acupuncture. It can be done through some rhetoric and reasoning. can be eliminated. Would you like to hear a few words from the minister?"

The emperor's eyes lit up. Said: "Naturally. Come quickly." Sit on the couch. Motioned for Chen Sheng to start telling.

"Your Majesty, please close your eyes and gaze." Listen to the minister's details." Chen Sheng said: "The sycamore that grows on the distant Gully 'shoots' mountain. Nearly 100 feet tall. The trunk of the tree is full of countless 'gorgeous' lines. The roots of the tree are stuck in the soil like dragons. Stretch around. Above the sycamore. There are towering peaks. The peak is covered with snow all year round. Below, there is a deep stream.' The turbulent "swinging" water hits the bottom of the sycamore. But they couldn't knock it down. The body of this plane tree. It is generally dried up. The other half is still fresh and green. Winter snow invading. Summer thunderbolts. In the morning there is a phoenix singing in the tree. In the evening, there are vermilion finches perched on it. Because it gathers the aura of the world.

"Cut down this tree. Made a guqin. The rainbow in the sky is the string. Let the famous musicians of ancient times play the piano tunes. Let Boya sing. The lyrics go like this: 'The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying. King of Great Qin in Weijia Hainei. 'The birds heard such a song. All feel majestic and wandering. The beast hears the song. They also roar and sing. Ants hear. Forget about it. Lack of direction. This is the most majestic and tragic song in the world. Can the Emperor come with me to listen?"

"I'm sick. I can't go." The Emperor muttered. His voice was full of longing.
