Although the Chaoyang Dynasty was established for only 23 years, it has a profound heritage and no one doubts it. Although the old emperor Zhao Zhongying is over half a hundred years old, his body is getting tougher and tougher. This is thanks to Zhang Miaotian, who nested in Taiyi Courtyard.

Except at the beginning of each month, Zhang Miaotian presented the thirty pills in the golden dragon sealed box to the emperor. The rest of the time, few people were able to see him.

The old emperor's visit to Taiyi Courtyard today really made Zhang Miao break out in a cold sweat. Seeing that the emperor is getting older and older, the dosage of this medicine is also getting bigger and bigger. It's three points of toxicity in the medicine, even if those Lang Zhong in the hospital one day will be labeled as a chronic murderer. He, Zhang Miaotian, even if he doesn't die, has to take off a layer of skin.

Taiyi Courtyard is the 12th year of Chaoyang by the old emperor personally selected the Bei'an South Courtyard, and personally waved down the three big characters. These three big characters are also the only authentic works of the emperor that can be seen outside the palace, and they can be described as the gold medals of the people in Taiyi Academy.

Of course, it is also the gold medal in the heart of the old emperor.

"Zhang Qing's family, it's the middle of this month. How many of the elixirs have been refined?"

Zhang Miaotian, who was trembling, said in a cold sweat: "Back to Your Majesty, although it is the middle of the year." However, the rainy season has arrived, and the south wind has been continuous for days, and the humidity is too heavy. The fire in the furnace was not as hot as it used to be, so only ten pieces were produced. ”

The old emperor frowned, and his ass moved in his chair. He inhaled sharply with his hands on his sleeves, and he didn't look like an emperor. If you take off a dragon robe, it should be for the old man who is squatting in the corner basking in the sun.

Zhang Miaotian has been with you for eleven years, and the character of this old emperor has long been thoroughly understood. When the old emperor fiefdom Northern Xia, the Huns had to come to the Central Plains every winter to sweep it. The old emperor personally led his troops to the battle, and when it snowed heavily, the tent was also watery and icy. This made a dignified vassal king develop the habit of the common people in the market.

Zhang Miaotian knew that the old emperor was worried, and he didn't care about the image of a celestial master. He knelt on the ground suddenly, buried his head in his chest, and shouted: "Your Majesty is angry, and the minister will refine the elixir in a hurry at the beginning of next month!"

The old emperor let out a sigh, and his hands were open to disperse the heavy smell of incense: "I know that the firewood has been damp recently, and I don't blame you. I'm worried elsewhere. That's it, pack up the ten elixirs, and I'll take them away. ”

When Zhang Miaotian heard this, his body trembled even more. The sweat in the back of his heart had already soaked through a gray robe.

"Your Majesty, the matter of alchemy is not man-made. It takes the right time and place to start the furnace, and it is also necessary to watch the fire and calculate the time. The short is a few hours, and the long one is more than ten hours. In the remaining fifteen days, Chen Wan couldn't refine thirty elixirs. ”

The old emperor stood up impatiently and said, "These ten will be counted into the next month, and I don't want you to refine one more!"

Zhang Miaotian didn't have time to shout a word of congratulations, and the door of the Danfang had been closed by the Old Mink Temple.

"Quick, in vain. You're running fast. Send ten elixirs to him before the old mink temple gets on the car. ”

The boy who was kneeling on the side suddenly got up, carefully holding the golden dragon and running away.

"The old emperor couldn't hold his breath anymore. Hey, my Zhang Miao's time limit is also coming. That's it, that's it. Since I was a child, I have been determined to change my destiny and cultivate self-morality. I didn't expect to get away with it. Zhang Miao muttered to herself as she picked up the futon next to the stove and put a stick of incense on Sanqing Jun.

Recently, there have been two major events in the rivers and lakes, this is the first one is that An Lushan Wu Family Sword Hall was killed overnight, and no one was spared. Even the nursing children did not survive.

The worst thing is that Wu Zhao, the master of the Wu family's sword hall, has a broken body, and everyone can see that this Wu Zhao died under his own sword.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the Wujia Sword Hall has been fixed in An Lushan, and the hall master is in the same line. By the time Wu Zhao arrived, he was already the fifth-generation hall master. The most famous thing in the Wu Family Sword Hall is the six swords of flowers, and the sword aura is like a flower. Although it is only six swords, the sword qi is like a wind and a wrill flower, carrying six swords to slash at the human body, and it can be cut into ten thousand pieces in an instant.

The Wu Family Sword Hall has been standing in the middle of the Chaoyang River and Lake since the old hall master of the previous generation swept the Northern Sword Sect. Although it is not as good as the top sect of Jiangnan Sword Shrine, it is also a ruthless character who has to tremble over the entire northern rivers and lakes.

Now that I have ended up here, I don't know whether to be sad or cry. It's a pity that Wu Zhao, who is about to enter Qingling, is even more regretful. At the age of thirty, he was in such a state, and he was allowed to do so for another twenty years. I'm afraid that Jiangnan Sword Shrine will look at each other squarely.

The second is Haizhou, the hall master of the South China Sea Giant Sect, and the two deputy hall masters, Zhou Yuze and Wei Xianjian. In addition, the people of the six tribes of Haizhou were slaughtered in three days.

As a result, it was rumored that the Demon Sect had entered the Central Plains again. forced the old sword immortal Huang Bolin to search for days and days, and found that it was only done by one person. After chasing three hundred miles and breaking one of his arms, he suddenly stopped his sword and let him flee in the direction of Xishu.

This incident caused an uproar in the rivers and lakes, and the people who criticized the old sword fairy were like cows. It is said that the old sword fairy is really old, and he is no longer willing to support justice. It's time to reshuffle the cards.

Having said that, the old sword immortal is the only three finger god masters in the Chaoyang River and Lakes. Not to mention that the other two are too lazy to pay attention to these ordinary people, even the Chaoyang Dynasty is respected as a celestial. These heroes also engaged in a battle of words, and in the end, it was over.

After Li Huai'an entered the Shu Palace, he was arranged in the backyard for more than two days. The King of Shu did not come in the past two days, but Li Qiulian accompanied him. But after all, she is a woman, and Li Huai'an misses her father and doesn't want to have too many words with this righteous sister who met for the first time.

Li Qiulian was also interested, and the night before, she found a maid of the same age to take care of Li Huai'an's daily life. There was also a scholar who was slightly younger than Li Huai'an and lived in the waiter's room in the backyard.

Although it is a backyard, the handwriting of the Shu Wangfu is not comparable to that of ordinary officials and gentry. There was a pond of lotus lake in the garden, and Li Huaian walked around the lake for two hours before returning it. There is a pavilion in the lake, which is given the name lotus brocade. From the Shu poet Li Mubai's "Hou Pavilion".

"The lake light and lotus color reflect the sky, and the ten thousand tails of the brocade dragon cover the blue mang. ”

Li Huai'an has lived in Liangzhou for a long time, and the humidity is heavier. Li Qiulian was afraid that Li Huai'an would not be used to the weather in Chengdu for a while, so she deliberately gave up the courtyard and hall where she lived to Li Huai'an.

Li Huai'an walked out of the house, slowly walked to the stone chair by the lake and sat down. Looking east, the vast sky is black and red. At night, it will rain in Shuzhong. I heard that the mountains and forests in the east are crossed, and the miasma is wanton. Li Han, who was half-clothed in the Central Plains, didn't know if he could still be devastated.

Li Huai was worried with peace of mind, and he didn't see his uncle in and out for two days. Even her mother didn't know what she was busy with, so she sent Li Huaian out of the house with a few perfunctory words.

The sound of Suosuo's footsteps pulled Li Huai'an back to reality, and he turned his head to see which scholar was standing behind him with his head buried.

Li Huaian said: "What is your name and how old are you?" ”

Although the boy was a boy, he was shy like a girl. Squirmed and whispered: "Hui Gongzi, the little one has no name." Everyone calls me Ergou. Ten years old. ”

Li Huai'an smiled, most of the names of the market were said by the black old man in the firewood house. It's new.

"What about the parents?"

"Back to Gongzi, my youngest parents were swept away by a flash flood last year. The prince was kind-hearted and rewarded a small bowl of rice to eat. ”

Li Huai'an forgot his sorrow for a while, these two dogs have rules and words, and their words are quite cultured. It's not at all like the old black man said the market looks like.

"You must have been reading for a few years. ”

"Hui Gongzi, this is all taught by Lord Wang. Before entering the palace, you must memorize the rules, otherwise you will be beaten by the board. ”

Li Huaian nodded and continued: "If that's the case, you can memorize the rules for me." ”

The second dog knelt in front of Li Huai'an with a plop, kowtowed and said, "The son spares his life, the little one is born stupid." Many of them haven't memorized yet, so they beg their sons to be gracious and don't tell Lord Wang. ”

"The Lord Wang you are talking about is the housekeeper of the house?"

The second dog didn't dare to raise his head, so he had to push his head to his chest.

"How do you usually memorize it?"

Ergou buried his head and said, "Lord Wang once gave the villain a booklet. ”

Li Huaian stretched out his hand and said, "Show me." ”

Ergou buried his head and slowly took out a yellowed thread cloth book from his chest, trembling and holding the book above his head.

Li Huai'an stood up and picked up the book, which was full of everyday words. There are also many sentences praising Li Yi. Li Huai'an and Li Han have a temper, and they reject this kind of appearance. For a while, I had some opinions on Li Yi.

Li Huaian knocked on the back of Ergou's head, motioned Ergou to stand up and said, "You get up." Let me ask you, why can't you memorize these dozen pages in a year? Is it because you don't want to flatter and deliberately don't memorize them?"

Ergou knew what flattery meant, and only heard Li Huaian say that he didn't want to carry it. I fainted in the back of my head for a while, and fainted to death.

"What's wrong?"

Li Qiulian happened to come over and saw Ergou fall to the ground. Half-squatting in front of Ergou's head and patting it gently, Ergou suddenly knelt on the ground again.

"Master Li, it's not that the little ones don't carry it. It's a little illiterate, and the back doesn't know what to write. And Lord Wang ....."

"Mouthy!" Li Qiulian, who suddenly appeared, interrupted Ergou's words. Then he said with an expression on his face: "I will go to the Fu Criminal Court to be punished with twenty boards!"

Ergou was stunned on the spot, his eyes widened and he really didn't know how to plead.

"Why don't you go soon?"

Li Qiulian glared angrily and drank, and the second dog suddenly spread his legs and ran towards the front yard. It wasn't until Ergou disappeared outside the courtyard that Li Qiulian said, "Childe, the court is here." Father-in-law asked me to invite you over. ”

Li Huaian frowned, he wanted to ask why Ergou was punished. When the words came to his mouth, he forcibly endured it, nodded and said, "Let's go." ”

In the hall, Li Yi chatted with the chief eunuch who came with the decree, and saw Li Huai'an walking into the hall. The chief eunuch He Xichuan hurriedly stood up and said, "Since the prince has arrived, there is no need to delay. The lower official should have read it out earlier. ”

Li Yi was secretly uncomfortable in his heart, even if the big mink temple beside the old emperor came, he would know the secret etiquette. Just hand it over and read it again. The chief eunuch is so arrogant, can he really deceive me about the decline of the Li family?

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor Zhao said. General Li Han fought all his life and made great achievements. Now the Eastern Expedition to Wu Yue has fallen. It's really a loss for me. Special pursuit of Aiqing Li Han loyal and brave generals. He was specially rewarded with his wife who was benevolent and his son was the king of Shu. to encourage the people of my rising sun. In addition, the king of Shu has worked hard to govern Shu for many years, and rewarded the widow with ten imperial pills. Ten thousand brocades, ten thousand taels of gold. Chin this. ”
