It is said that a long, long time ago, the emperor of the Heavenly Empire, which is also our today's Huaxia Kingdom, heard that there was a miracle medicine in the Far Western Region.

It is rumored that this elixir can lead to immortality as long as it is consumed, and since ancient times, who has been on the throne since ancient times, after gaining the greatest power in the secular world, has not longed for this?

You don't see that Qin Shi Huang used alchemists for immortality, and spent a lot of money to let them go to sea to visit immortals and refine elixirs, but the final result was only a generation of emperors who died of heavy metal poisoning.

Irony or not? The more you desire something, the more you can't get anything, how can immortality be a luxury that mortals can dream of? Even if you're an emperor, that's not going to work.

But with so many lessons from the past, many emperors of Qin Shi Empress, whether they are bright monarchs, faint monarchs or tyrants, still yearn for immortality.

It is in the nature of human beings to be afraid of all things unknown, especially death.

Therefore, when the emperor heard the news, he discussed with the ministers in the court, and he asked.

"Ladies and gentlemen, no matter when you worship me, you will compliment me long live, but in the long river of history, which emperor can really live to long live?"

Naturally, all the courtiers of His Highness could not be stupid people if they were able to sit in the current position, how could they not understand the meaning of their master's words.

Presumably, there is another villain or a priest around him who provided the emperor with the news of the elixir of immortality, and His Majesty wants to pull all the ministers to take the blame for him because his reputation is not so good!

However, if you are a minister, just like Xun Yu said: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!" "A lot of things are out of your mind.

The people in the court began to whisper, which made the emperor, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, look a little uncertain.

Just as the ministers were discussing lively, a middle-aged man wearing a purple robe and a jade belt around his waist walked out.

The middle-aged man didn't look handsome, but a pair of eyes were quite bright, although he was ordinary, but a pair of eyes with the long slender hair looked quite imposing.

The purple-clothed minister spoke: "Your Majesty, but recently learned the news about the immortal elixir from the mouth of that Fang Shi?" Your Majesty, Wei Chen thought that this matter was absolutely impossible, and you had already given a huge amount of money to the Fang Shi Cultivation Palace for that illusory immortal elixir, and the minister was worried that if he continued to indulge, not to mention the loss of money and the power of Fang Shi..."

Before he finished speaking, the old man in a bright yellow robe sitting on the top opened his mouth and scolded angrily.

"Sun Ju, that's enough! I'm not discussing with you, I'm just informing you, but you're right, Xu Guoshi recently told me that a spy has come to report that there is an immortal elixir in the Far West, and if you take it, you can jump out of the catastrophe of life and death, and I will soon send the elite soldiers of my court to fetch the immortal medicine for me. ”

Sun Ju's mouth opened slightly, as if he had something to say, but he remembered the fate of the ministers who had disobeyed His Majesty before, and it was nothing more than the heads of a family that had been killed.

The one sitting today is not easy to get along, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and accompanying this is like a group of tigers.

It seems that the emperor on duty is a tyrant, but it is not right to say so.

The emperor has always been simple, whether it is food or clothing, he does not pay attention to luxury, but he is addicted to the illusory elixir.

You want to say that the people in the court he killed are full of heads and cruel, but the people in the world are extremely loved

He.

It is only because this man has done a lot of good things for the benefit of the country and the people since he came to power.

It's a pity that no one is perfect, no one is perfect, and ordinary people are still afraid of death in old age, let alone a monarch who rules the four seas.

Sun Ju finally retreated to the ministers, and when the ministers saw that even Sun Ju, who had been outspoken in the past, obediently closed their mouths, how could they not understand what His Majesty meant.

If you don't want to attract the wrath of the Son of Heaven, then you can only choose to obey.

In the end, the ministers unified their voices and said in unison: "The ministers wish Your Majesty an early acquisition of the elixir of immortality, and wish Your Majesty long live Long live Long live." ”

Hearing this, the emperor's face finally soothed, and he sat down on the dragon chair and laughed.

Later, with a long "retreat" from the eunuch beside him, the ministers walked out of the court in twos and threes.

The emperor returned to the harem, and for a time only Sun Ju, who was stunned and did nothing, was left in the court.

That's when we had the opportunity to take a closer look at the court.

The court hall was very deserted at this moment, because it was daytime, there were no lights in the empty and wide hall, and the sunlight passing through the door of the court hall was enough to make it look very bright.

Through the light, you can see that there are countless red pillars in the court hall to support it, each red pillar is about five or six people hugging each other, and there are some dragon and phoenix patterns carved on it, and the carving is particularly exquisite.

Don't misunderstand that this is a palace built by the emperor of the current dynasty for his own enjoyment, in fact, the court hall and the furnishings of the palace are still inherited from the previous dynasty.

We also said earlier that although this emperor has spent a lot of money on immortal medicine, he has extremely simple food and clothing on weekdays, and his life is already like this, so why is he spending more money in these places?

Looking at the walls of the wide court hall are all whitewashed with golden paint, it seems that the whole court hall is magnificent.

As for the floor, it is paved with red nanmu, and if you don't say it, others will think that this floor is laid at random.

Finally, there is a long staircase in the center of the court, and in the center of the steps is a white marble, and countless dragons are also carved on the white marble, which is naturally the emperor's royal road.

As for what it is after the royal road, I guess I don't need to say it.

Sun Ju, who had advised the emperor before, stood at the foot of the steps, looking at the white marble royal dao in front of him in a daze, and didn't say anything.

Coincidentally, the entire palace was filled with light, but a small piece of Sun Ju was standing in the shadows, and Sun Ju stood under it to look even thinner and weaker.

At this time, a shrill voice sounded in Sun Ju's ears, and it was a man with a male duck's voice talking to him.

"Yo, isn't this Lord Sun? The Manchu Dynasty is both civil and military, why are you still here, do you have any ulterior secrets, or are you going to take the opportunity to sneak into the emperor's bedroom? ”

Hearing this, Sun Ju's entire face began to become distorted, his chest began to rise and fall continuously, and his fine hair kept shaking with his anger.

"Xu thief, over the years, you have taken advantage of Your Majesty's old age to instruct Your Majesty to find some immortal elixir, do you know that for the empty thing in your mouth, Your Majesty has spent a lot of money and manpower, causing the people to live in poverty and chaos in the world, what crime should you be guilty of?"

Sun Ju said this in front of the middle-aged man in front of him, this life has thief eyebrows and sharp eyes

Pointed and the two mustaches on his upper lips, no matter how you look at it, he is a treacherous person.

Although he was wearing a square crown on his head and a black and white Taoist robe, he did not have a single immortal wind and dao bone on his body.

I don't know what kind of obsession this emperor is obsessed with, and he actually named this kind of person as a national teacher.

In fact, this Taoist is a cut shorter than Sun Ju, but facing Sun Ju, who is taller than him, he is not at all pestle in his heart.

Why do you say, it's all because Xu Qingfeng is His Majesty's favorite minister and the national teacher of the dynasty, and the emperor will never embarrass him for the sake of immortal medicine.

Xu Qingfeng looked at Sun Ju, who was full of righteous indignation in front of him, but a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and then said.

"Lord Sun, I paid tribute to the immortal medicine only because the current emperor is a Ming monarch, in order to make this dynasty eternal, I have worked hard to find out the news of the immortal medicine in the extreme western region, as for whether you believe it or not, it is your business, and you said that today's saints are working hard and harming the people, what will happen if this word reaches the ears of Your Majesty?"

Sun Ju listened to Xu Qingfeng's words and once again remembered the scene of the emperor in the capital who killed for his own selfishness, and he still remembers that scene vividly.

On that day, the blood in the capital even spread from the West Market to the city gate, and the entire imperial city fell into an atmosphere of oppression and terror, and the air was filled with a bloody atmosphere.

The blood of those hundreds of people was cleaned by the officials under Jing Zhaoyin's hand for three days before it was cleaned, and Sun Ju naturally did not dare to forget this matter.

At this time, when he heard Xu Qingfeng's disguised threat to him, he remembered the scene of that day, the adult also advised the emperor not to be too addicted to the immortal elixir, and Xu Qingfeng seized the opportunity to participate in a book.

Sun Ju's ability to wear purple clothes and jade belts also proves his prominent status, and with the growth of his status, his mansion naturally has a population of hundreds of people.

After careful consideration, for the sake of hundreds of people up and down the Sun Mansion, he still chose to compromise at this time, and finally he snorted coldly and walked out of the court.

The originally depressed and quiet court hall became more and more dull, and the Ming and Ming Dynasty halls were filled with bright light, but they couldn't drive away the indescribable things brought by Xu Qingfeng.

Xu Qingfeng looked at Sun Ju's departing back but muttered: "I hope you can be a smart person, otherwise I will have to get rid of you if I delay Your Majesty's good deeds." ”

Although Xu Qingfeng has repeatedly emphasized that he is serving the saint today, who knows if he has his own plans in his heart?

Just as Xu Qingfeng was chattering, a strong wind suddenly blew in the palace, and after the wind dissipated, two young men wearing black and white Taoist robes like Xu Qingfeng appeared in the court.

It's just that these two young people don't want Xu Qingfeng to wear a square crown on their heads, and one of them, a short and fat young man with small eyes and a wide nose and a wide mouth, first bowed down, and then said angrily.

"Master, the matter you told us before has been taken care of, and the news of the immortal elixir that came earlier is indeed true, but..."

Xu Qingfeng roughly guessed what he was going to say, but he still squinted his eyes and asked in a cold tone.

"Just what?"

"It's just that the immortal medicine was all taken away by a restaurant in the Far West, and we tried to negotiate with the other party to see if we could buy it at a cost, but the other party just wouldn't sell it to us... Master, what do you think of this? ”

Your recommendation tickets and favorites are the greatest encouragement to me, and I ask for a reward.
