Chapter 260: Jin Dan
"Honglu Temple Qing Cui Kezhuo?" Li Gui came up with the image of an old man fifty miles away, elegant manners, fairy wind and bones, I heard that he had served in Shuzhong back then, and went to Mount Emei many times to seek Taoism, and the emperor also invited him to enter the palace to explain the Taoism when he was in power, maybe this person really has the immortal medicine that Bi Cheng said.

The emperors of the Great Wei Dynasty had many favored Taoist priests, alchemy and mercury burners, in order to obtain the magic method of immortality, although none of these people succeeded, but subtly Li Gui also believed in these things, and now he was impatient with the meditation and recuperation that Fang Tianshi said, so he pinned his hopes on the immortal medicine, "Spread the decree and order Cui Kezhuo to offer the immortal medicine." ”
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this matter should not be trusted, the legend of the fairy family is unpredictable, this matter may not be true, and I hope Your Majesty will be cautious." At this time, Bi Cheng did not immediately obey the order, but knelt down and persuaded him.
"The imperial doctor is useless, drinking medicine has no effect at all, is it for me to be restrained?" Seeing that Bi Cheng was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again, Li You waved his hand weakly and said, "You pass on the decree, I want to try this elixir." ”
"Yes." Bi Cheng had no choice but to obey his orders, and the eunuch who was waiting on the side immediately drafted an edict to Li Gui and hurried out of the palace with a seal, and after about an hour, the eunuch who passed the decree hurriedly returned, neither bringing back Cui Kezhuo nor getting the immortal medicine.
"Your Majesty, the slave maid just gave Cui Kezhuo a decree, who knew that Cui Kezhuo said that this matter is very important, and he would not dare to serve the edict without the prime minister." The eunuch cautiously replied, Li Gui's temper has become more and more irritable these days, and even Wei Shiliang has been beaten by him, and he didn't do a good job today, for fear that Li Gui would kill him with a cane.
Is it me the emperor or is he Yang Jiefu the emperor, if you really want Cui Kezhuo to ask for the immortal medicine to save your life, do you still need his Yang Jiefu's approval? Li Gui was angry and breathed a little faster; Originally, he was just sick and sought medical treatment, but after Cui Kezhuo's trouble, Li Gui made up his mind that he had to try this elixir.
"Ahem... Bi Cheng, hand over the holy decree to Yang Jiefu, cough cough... Let him bring Cui Kezhuo to me. Li Gui issued his will mixed with a cough, and waved his hand weakly, signaling Bi Cheng to do it immediately.
Bi Cheng didn't dare to delay, and immediately summoned another Zaifu on duty from the side hall to enter the palace to take care of the emperor, and he left the palace with the holy decree and hurried to Yang Jiefu's mansion; When he arrived at the house, he went straight in and came to Yang Jiefu's study, but when he saw Yang Deming, Yuan Rukui and other high-ranking officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee gathered together, they seemed to be talking about something.
"Lord Xiangguo, Your Majesty sent a decree to Cui Kezhuo to offer immortal medicine, and the eunuch who just passed the decree has been returned by Cui Kezhuo, and now Your Majesty has asked you to sign it." Bi Cheng didn't care about resting, and immediately took out the holy decree from his arms and handed it over.
As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around, Yang Deming's face was happy, Yuan Rukui bowed his head and was silent, Wang Jihe's eyes kept drifting over Bi Cheng and Yang Jiefu's faces, but unfortunately he didn't see anything.
"Zi is silent, strange and confused, such an ethereal thing, the old minister does not dare to sign it." Yang Jiefu glanced at the holy decree and returned it to Bi Cheng, so in desperation, Bi Cheng could only return to the palace again.
If it was repeated and tossed until the third day, Li Gui still did not get the immortal medicine, and at this time his complexion became worse and worse, and the ministers saw that this was not a solution, so they could only persuade Cui Kezhuo to bring the immortal medicine into the palace.
So Cui Kezhuo, under the leadership of Hu Songnian and Lu Chengqing, came to Li Gui's bedroom with a simple gourd in both hands, and as soon as he entered, the eyes of Li Gui, the queen, the lord of Taiping and many palace maids and eunuchs in the dormitory were focused on him and the gourd in his hand.
Li Gui saw that this Cui Kezhuo was in the shape of a turtle-backed crane, with white hair but still a ruddy complexion, which was quite similar to the Daoist masters described in those Taoist books, so he immediately believed in this immortal elixir, "Cui Kezhuo, tell me where you got this immortal elixir from?" ”
"Your Majesty, this immortal medicine of Weichen is in the past when he served as the prefect in Shuzhong on Mount Emei to seek Taoism, and he was given by an immortal, and the medicinal materials used were all grown by the immortal cave, and then the immortals put it into the gossip furnace to refine it with the true fire of Samadhi for 9981 years, and the world can cure all kinds of diseases and prolong life." Cui Kezhuo said matter-of-factly.
"Oh? Have you ever taken it? Hearing this, Li Gui immediately recovered a little bit of his spirit, and asked while half-sitting up with the support of the palace maid.
"Wechen took one at the beginning of the medicine, and it has been 18 years now, and Wechen has never been sick in the past 18 years, and he is still in good health." Cui Kezhuo was still holding the gourd tightly when he spoke, as if he was reluctant to dedicate it to Li Gui.
"Bring it up to me and show it." Li Gui shouted eagerly, although Cui Kezhuo couldn't bear it, but the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, so he had to hand the gourd to Wei Shiliang with both hands.
Wei Shiliang sent it to Li Gui, took off the gourd stopper, and poured the immortal medicine in the gourd into the jade bowl, but saw that there were about a dozen of these immortal medicines, the size of a paulownia, the whole body was golden, and the whole body exuded an attractive aroma, is this the golden pill that the Taoists say? Li Gui felt a little refreshed after taking a few breaths of the aroma, and seemed to have recovered a lot of energy, and there was no doubt at the moment, "Cui Aiqing, how to take this medicine?" ”
"Just swallow it with water, only use one capsule at a time, don't use more than once." Cui Ke looked at the pill with a blank look and said.
"Wei Shiliang, help me get a bowl of water." Lee Gyu commanded.
"Your Majesty, no." Seeing this, the lord of Taiping County hurriedly came out to stop him, now Li Gui's body is already weak, and if he eats such a thing of unknown origin again, if there is an accident, what will it be? "According to the rules of the palace, this elixir of unknown origin should not be taken."
"The county lord said cautiously, this medicine is given by the immortal family, and you must not collide with the immortals." Li Gui hadn't replied yet, but Cui Kezhuo was unhappy, so he arched his hand and said, "The reason for Weichen is that His Majesty tried the medicine." ”
Li Gui hesitated for a moment and agreed to Cui Kezhuo's request, Cui Kezhuo took a pill and water in front of everyone and swallowed it, and after about half an hour, there was still nothing abnormal, but his face seemed to be more and more ruddy; And the imperial doctor on the side studied carefully for a long time and didn't figure out what it was.
At this point, Li Gui had no doubts, swallowed a golden pill with warm water, closed his eyes and lay quietly for a while, and sat up again, as if he had recovered a lot all of a sudden, and his face was a little more happy, and he praised repeatedly, "Cui Aiqing's elixir is really extraordinary, and after I recover, I will definitely add an official to Aiqing." ”
Cui Kezhuo hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and the queen smiled when she saw Li Guiso; Only the county lord of Taiping still has many doubts, can this immortal medicine really make the imperial brother recover as before? (To be continued.) )
