Chapter 398: Ask the palace to refine the elixir
Han Shiyong is not an ordinary person after all, after the thunderstorm stopped, the pain and fear made him unable to stop at all, and rushed to the capital with all his might.
The gods traveled until dawn, and they really ran to the capital in one night, this kind of burden, if you change a warlock, even Qi Zhongbin, who was young before entering the Immortal Dao, is estimated to have died directly.
After Han Shiyong returned to the capital and returned to the Tianyu Temple in the imperial city, he directly bathed and changed his clothes after relieving his fatigue, reported to the palace and asked to see the emperor.
Of course, the prince also got the news for the first time, and compared to the prince who got up early, the emperor will still be asleep, after all, the summer dawn is early, and there is still a while before the court meeting, and it may not be impossible for him not to go.
However, when he got the news of the return of the national teacher, the emperor was overjoyed, and he got up very quickly today.
Outside the main hall of the court, the prince hurriedly walked over, and at a glance he saw Han Shiyong wearing a crane legal robe.
Compared with other ministers who were preparing to go to the court to rest indoors, Han Shiyong, as a national teacher, stood alone outside the Golden Palace, his body was straight, solemn and peaceful, closing his eyes and recuperating.
As soon as he returned to the imperial city, especially after entering the palace, Han Shiyong's heart suddenly settled down a lot, and now he consciously perceived it stronger than before, feeling the complex qi in the palace, but it had the effect of white noise to isolate his upset.
Suddenly, Han Shiyong opened his eyes, he looked to the side of the Golden Palace, and saw a person with a sword hanging from his waist, striding towards him surrounded by attendants.
Unlike any time he saw this person in the past, today's Han Shiyong can feel the momentum of the other party when he sees the comer again, and the person who came is Jian Xu, the prince of Dayan, who arrived first.
"The national teacher just returned to the capital and rushed to the early dynasty, it's really hard!"
The prince bowed his hand to greet, and Han Shiyong did not slack off, bowing slightly to the prince in return.
"I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister received His Majesty's holy decree, he did not dare to slack off for a moment, and immediately rushed back to the capital, His Majesty was in a hurry to summon him, and the minister naturally had to come to the palace immediately."
"I see! Uh, what's wrong with the national teacher's hand? ”
This will make Han Shiyong's hand look less serious than last night, and it is no longer scorched, thanks to his recovery and blinding methods, but there are still some burn marks.
Han Shiyong just smiled and replied.
"It's just a little bit of a situation when you're cultivating, and it's not in the way."
"Well, the national teacher should take care of his body!"
The prince said and looked at the steps of the Golden Palace, and those ministers came out one after another at this moment, and of course they also came to salute the prince and the national teacher.
When the crowd was out of sight, Han Shiyong looked at the prince with cold eyes on the side, this person used to secretly deal with him, but now it seems to be even different, Ziwei's qi has a growing momentum, and in two years, I am afraid that the light of the emperor star will be deflected!
That's not good!
Soon, the procession of the upper court entered the Golden Palace, and as soon as the hour came, the high-pitched voice of the eunuch spread throughout the Golden Palace.
"The emperor has arrived—"
"Your Majesty—"
The ministers bowed down together, and after Emperor Dayong above said "exempt from courtesy", his eyes looked at Han Shiyong who was standing in front.
"National teacher, you are back, I am very concerned, can this trip go well?"
Han Shiyong is still embarrassed by yesterday, he stepped out of the crowd, and replied calmly after saluting.
"Back to Your Majesty, thanks to Your Majesty, this trip is very smooth, the minister prays for the blessing of the rain and the spiritual fruit, and brings good fortune to the local people, and the people of Luoqi and other places are grateful to His Majesty for sending ministers to bless Dade!"
"Hahahahahaha, that's good, that's good!"
It can be seen that yesterday had a nightmare, and today the national teacher will come back, which makes the emperor feel very good, but the other ministers of the entire court meeting do not have much room to play, and the emperor is talking to the national teacher.
Even if some ministers wanted to play something, they were all suppressed by the emperor, saying that they would just watch the performance later.
And what Han Shiyong said was also very interesting to the emperor and even a considerable number of ministers.
"The minister assisted the local government in Yunlu Mansion to arrest the thief, and chased him into Hele Mountain, that night the storm and lightning thundered, and the minister actually saw a huge toad chirping to the sky, and saw a white crane soaring in the wind and thunder in the sky to confront it."
Hearing this, a young military attache among the military attachés of the court meeting understood the eyes of the prince not far away, and immediately interrupted.
"Oh, how big is the huge toad that the national teacher said, listening to the national teacher's exclamatory tone, are you still afraid of a toad?"
Han Shiyong glanced at the military attache over there and smiled.
"Big as a mountain!"
The ministers and the emperor were shocked, and Han Shiyong had already continued.
"The toad has the ability to stir up wind and rain and swallow thunder, and the white crane in the sky is even more extraordinary, both are extraordinary, fighting in the wind and thunder of heaven and earth in Hele Mountain, and disappearing between heaven and earth after a night."
Han Shiyong's voice was slightly excited, and he paused slightly at this moment before he said.
"The minister spent a night in the mountains, watching the cranes and toads fighting each other, understanding the way of lead and mercury blending, and His Majesty's longevity elixir refining is hopeful!"
"Really? Really? Didn't the national teacher say that the Dan material was insufficient? ”
Facing the eager emperor, Han Shiyong nodded calmly.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister has already made a bamboo in his chest, but this elixir is not easy to refine, and it also needs to be supplemented by His Majesty's Ziwei Emperor's Qi, so you need to find a secluded palace in the palace to set up a Dan furnace!"
"National teacher, except for the people of the royal family in the palace, how can outsiders occupy a palace for their own use? Even if you want to refine the elixir, can't Tianyu Guan? ”
When a minister spoke, it was the right servant of the respected prime minister, and he continued after he finished speaking.
"I still remember that the national teacher once said that the location of Tianyu Temple is full of yin and yang and five elements, it is an excellent place to practice, there is no other place in the capital that is more suitable, the old man has also read some Taoist classics, this alchemy is also a bypass for you and other immortal Taoists, right?"
Han Shiyong said with a smile.
"The Prime Minister's words are wrong, what the minister said at the beginning is naturally true, but that is what he said after excluding the palace, if you really want to talk about the treasure land, how can there be a place in the entire capital that can compare to the palace, and the Prime Minister said yes or no?"
The old prime minister frowned, could he say no? He looked at the ministers, but no one said anything from the civil and military officials.
The prince clenched his fists and looked directly sideways at the national teacher on the other side.
"Even if a suitable position is arranged for the national teacher, how long will it take for the national teacher to refine the elixir?"
"Yes, how long will it take for the national teacher?"
It was Emperor Dayan on the dragon chair who said this, he was over sixty years old, and his body seemed to be very strong because of the elixirs refined by the national teacher over the years, but sometimes he was also very weak.
Even the emperor himself knew that his health had actually deteriorated over the years, but he had the elixir of the national teacher to keep him energetic.
Han Shiyong once warned the emperor not to overuse medicine, otherwise he would have a sense of dependence, but it was obviously too late for the current old emperor.
However, the old emperor also has his own reasons, as long as the national teacher can refine the elixir, all problems will no longer be a problem.
Faced with the emperor's eager inquiry at this moment, Han Shiyong did not speak immediately, but raised his eyebrows with his hand, and the world changed slightly, and he looked up at the emperor on the dragon chair.
The old emperor didn't care at first, but when Han Shiyong looked at him like this, he felt a little furious in his heart, his eyes were very strange and very unfamiliar, and the eyes of the previous national teachers were different, but there was also a trace of strange and inexplicable familiarity.
"National teacher?"
"Oh, back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the elixir is not easy to refine, it will take at least three years!"
"Three years is so long?" "The national teacher wants to live in the palace for three years?"
"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable!" "Don't set this precedent!"
Some loyalists spoke out one after another, and some flattering ministers spoke out.
"This matter is related to Your Majesty's dragon body, and in the end, it depends on Your Majesty's will, don't you want Your Majesty to be healthy?"
"What do you mean by that?"
The Emperor sat on the dragon chair and muttered.
"Three years, is it going to be three years?"
Han Shiyong stood calmly below.
"What your lords say has its own reason, Minister Han Shiyong only obeys His Majesty's will, please make a decision to Your Majesty!"
Han Shiyong had already understood the emperor's thoughts, and the people on the dragon chair were not worried about letting a Taoist occupy a palace inside the palace, but that the elixir would take three years to make people wait for a long time.
But in Han Shiyong's case, it must be at least three years.
Three years is the time it takes for Han Shiyong to intuitively speculate that it will take to recover his body and practice transformation, and it is also the limit of the old emperor Shouyuan.
But refining the elixir is not fake, but the old emperor is destined not to wait for the so-called elixir, because today's Han Shiyong has a very big picture, and the last main pill material of the so-called elixir is the Ziwei Emperor Qi that collapsed when the Son of Heaven died!
Today's Han Shiyong's ability to observe qi is more outstanding than before, and just looking at the old emperor's eyes, he has already confirmed the previous inference that the emperor has few years to live.
If you become your own way, refine the elixir, if you become it, you will also complete the transformation, and you will definitely keep your promise and think about the society of Dayan!
Dayan's Jiangshan Sheji does not necessarily have an emperor!
"Three years, can the national teacher be sure that three years can refine the elixir?"
"Minister, I am naturally sure that even if there may be omissions, three years is enough to make up for it, I think those who have the Tao in their hearts and those who care about His Majesty will not object, unless someone thinks that Your Majesty has been sitting on the throne of the emperor for too long."
This kind of thing, it was absolutely impossible for Han Shiyong to say it before, but he said it very calmly at this time, even if he said it, it might not be good for him, but he still said it, which was unconsciously affected by the change of heart.
As soon as this remark came out, the whole hall was in an uproar, and the meaning of his words was meaningful, and almost everyone knew it.
"What did you say?" "The national teacher is going to talk nonsense-"
"That's nonsense!"
Many military attachés in the palace looked at each other angrily for the first time, and some old ministers in the court were also furious.
The old emperor subconsciously looked at the crown prince, and Jian Xu's heart jumped, and cold sweat overflowed his forehead, and his anger was even more difficult to suppress.
At this moment, in the garden of the big pond, a white crane fluttered its wings and flew to the palace in front of it.
Inside the Golden Palace, the emperor finally came out of the round.
"Okay, okay, let's follow the national teacher, three years will be three years, and I will be in the West Flower Palace."
"Phew-"
A clear crane roar sounded from the sky, penetrating the palace pavilions, and even causing some palace eunuchs and guards to look up at the sky, and the crane roar naturally also entered the golden hall and echoed in the hall.
Many people heard the sound of the crane, some were puzzled, some were refreshed, and some looked at the temple gate.
And Han Shiyong made a "ho" sound, and a fear like facing the thunder suddenly rose in his heart, and even his body shook suddenly, as if he heard the crane roar and had a tendency to appear in his original form, and a strange aura floated out of him.
"What does it smell like?" "Does it smell?"
"Yes, yes, this smell, no, it's a smell."
Some ministers covered their noses, and the prince over there also frowned slightly, he also smelled a faint stench, although it was not heavy, but the smell was a little disgusting.
