"Ahem...... Ahem, General Han, let the prime minister speak. Looking at the two people in front of him, Li Wei said helplessly, "Father, the emperor and the Liang State have withdrawn their troops, what is the miserable situation in my prosperous country at this time? As a son of man and the successor of the country, but I don't know anything about my father's future affairs and the current situation of the country, how can I recuperate with peace of mind?"

Han Wei was stunned for a moment, but he was still staring at Zhan Wensheng with an unkind face.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Zhan Wensheng took a step forward, took out a delicate Nanmu brocade box from his sleeve, and bowed down and handed it to Li Wei's eyes.

Li Wei took the brocade box with difficulty, and his face was solemn. After opening, it was found that there was a silk silk dense scroll lying quietly inside, and the mouth of the dense scroll was sealed with fire paint, and the national seal was printed on it, which was indeed the hand of the first emperor.

Seeing that Li Wei was about to open the seal, Zhan Wensheng took a step back and said again: "The first emperor ordered that only His Majesty can read this secret scroll, and after reading it, it should be burned immediately. ”

So saying, he took a brazier from the hand of the waiter, placed it under the bed, and removed the lid of the basin, revealing a few pieces of red-hot charcoal.

Zhan Wensheng turned to Han Wei again, and said humbly: "General Zuo, please move outside the palace with me, and after a while, we will come back to visit Your Majesty." ”

"You ......" Seeing that the other party was still planning to order him, General Zuo, Han Wei was also really angry, and he was about to scold immediately, although this Zhan Wensheng was the prime minister, he was too presumptuous.

Li Wei immediately waved his hand and stopped: "General Zuo, you can go out too!"

"Yes!" Han Wei suppressed the fire against Zhan Wensheng, lowered his head and responded respectfully, and slowly retreated.

After everyone was cleared, Li Wei exhaled a turbid breath, slowly opened the secret scroll in his hand, and carefully browsed it. There are not many words on the secret scroll, only fifteen.

"Yuxiao Mountain, white-clothed monks, tribute, royal blood, retreat. ”

The handwriting was very sloppy, the word order was disorganized, and Li Wei grabbed the dense scroll and read it upside down several times, but he didn't see anything else.

He understood the tribute, the royal bloodline, and the retreat, but what about the Yuxiao Mountain and the white-clothed monk at the front?

Li Wei frowned, closed his eyes and pondered, hesitated again and again, but decided to follow the requirements of the first emperor, threw the secret scroll into the brazier under the bed, and the spread dense scroll covered the coals, making a burst of "sizzling" sound, and after a while, the flames bubbled up and burned.

Staring closely at the dense scroll in the brazier, until it turned into a burst of black ash, Li Wei looked away and said to himself: "Strange, even if it is burned by fire, it will not change much, what does my father want to say to me?"

"General Zuo, Prime Minister!" Li Wei turned sideways and shouted twice, his hoarse voice revealing a sense of weakness.

"I can't get my voice out, so I'd better wait for them to come in on their own. After a pause, but no one responded, Li Wei smiled bitterly.

Leaning on the bed, Li Wei curled up into the futon again, lay down, and thought carefully about the future.

The death of the first emperor did not make Li Wei feel too sad, the emperor's family was already weak, and he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the front line, but also in order to avoid the intention of this father.

Going to the frontier to participate in the war can not only avoid the political turbulence in Tiansheng City, but also accumulate prestige for himself in the army, which can be regarded as paving the way for inheriting the unification in the future.

But I never thought that when I came back again, there were already things and people in the royal capital, and when I was in a coma, I even inherited the great unification inexplicably, and the things in the world are really changeable.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Physician is already waiting outside. Just as Li Wei was thinking wildly, there was a question outside the door.

Hearing Zhan Wensheng's voice, Li Wei was also full of strength and shouted: "Enter!"

Fortunately, this time, everyone outside the door heard the emperor's faint call.

Staring at the dry ash in the brazier, Zhan Wensheng showed a thoughtful look, and he was also very curious about the previous emperor's edict.

"Get me a glass of water first," Li Wei stared at everyone with a sad face and whispered.

......

Regarding the content of the first emperor's edict, Li Wei never told anyone else, although Zhan Wensheng had several temptations later, but he was also fooled by Li Wei.

On the contrary, he also got a lot of information on Zhan Wensheng's body, including about Yuxiao Mountain!

It turned out that the first emperor died in front of Zhan Wensheng, and before his death, the first emperor wrote two handwritten letters, one was sealed and handed over to Li Wei by Zhan Wensheng, and the other was kept by Zhan Wensheng, which was the last administrative order of the first emperor during his reign.

A month later, according to the last order of the former emperor, the Li royal family would send several descendants who had reached the age of sixteen to Yuxiao Mountain every year to ask the mountain monks to learn the method of immortality.

This is the first time Li Wei heard the name of Yuxiao Mountain, and it is also the first time to send someone to inquire about the location of Yuxiao Mountain, in order to facilitate the rest of the royal children before going up the mountain, as well as the supply of various materials, Li Wei ordered people to build a small city under Yuxiao Mountain, named Tongzhou City.

In return, the monks of Yuxiao Mountain gave the Li royal family a lot of elixirs, which can get rid of all kinds of diseases and prolong life. Even when many nobles in the royal family are old and decrepit, they have the opportunity to be picked up by Yuxiao Mountain and go to the mysterious cultivation realm to explore immortality.

Day after day, year after year, more and more children of the royal family and the elders of the family were taken away by Yuxiao Mountain, but none of them were able to return after cultivating and growing up.

The monks' explanation was the same as always, the ancestors of the royal family had been immortalized in the cultivation realm, and they could no longer return to the world, soaked in red dust, if anyone wanted to get together with the elders, they would come up to Yuxiao Mountain. Of course, the premise is still the bloodline of the royal family.

Later, the matter of Yuxiao Mountain giving a panacea was slowly learned by many officials and relatives in the court, who were dissatisfied with the benefits of the royal family's exclusive access to Yuxiao Mountain, and asked for a place on the mountain.

Li Wei could not resist the ministers of the court, so he sent people up the mountain to ask the monks if they could accept children from outside the royal family to enter the cultivation realm to practice. In the end, under the compromise between the two sides, Yu Xiaoshan agreed to accept some miscellaneous disciples, and they would also give them pills.

From then on, the royal family was more careful in their dealings with Yuxiao Mountain, until later, Sheng Xin believed that the royal family had cut off contact with Yuxiao Mountain, and all the disciples were given to the descendants of those nobles.

Li Wei reigned for 23 years, and Sheng Xin's domestic wind and rain were smooth and peaceful. But in his heart, there is always a knot that cannot be untied, what does the edict left to him by the first emperor want to express?

Although he was not very close to the first emperor, the father and son were of the same heart, and whenever his father's scribbled handwriting sounded, Li Wei had a feeling, a feeling of extreme depression and suffocation, as if that was the mentality of the first emperor when he wrote the secret handwriting.
