Chapter 587: The King of Shu wants to refine the pill
Shu Wangfu
"What?" Almost at the same time, in the study room of the King of Shu's Mansion, the King of Shu also stood up sharply and stared at the servant in front of him.
"What did you say? Say it again?!"
"Lord Wang, I heard Gonggong Zhang say five words to Boss Li, blood cinnamon, big return Dan. These five words are clear, and the small ones are not misheard. ”
The person who came to report to the King of Shu was a guy placed in Li Ji Buzhuang, who usually looks ordinary, just a young man who can do things, but in fact, this person has a ability, that is, his ears are outstanding, and he can hear farther voices without getting close.
The eunuch in the palace came to Buzhuang tonight, and as soon as Boss Li came back, this guy was paying attention, although it was far away, the two of them spoke in a low voice, but the five words were heard clearly.
After all, Buzhuang is just a village, and it is not a palace, let alone a palace, who would notice if there is a guy not far away?
This news, as the boss of Buzhuang left in a hurry, was taken to the Shu King's Mansion by this guy.
The King of Shu looked solemn and paced in the room, his hands behind his back, his fingers constantly clenched and released.
In fact, the King of Shu knew that Xiao Huandan, if it weren't for the Taoist priest refining Xiao Huandan, I was afraid that the father and emperor on the dragon chair would have been unable to get up from the sick bed now.
The matter of Xiao Huandan is a secret of the imperial court, and not many people know about it, but in addition to himself, the King of Qi must also know, or even the King of Lu will know, after all, as an adult prince, there is no one in the palace, and I am afraid that no one will believe it.
But knowing this, it didn't make the king of Shu worry more, and even secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the king of Qi is old, the party is plump, although he rises quickly, but his father is really sick, no, the king of Qi may be happy, the king of Qi and the military generals are close, maybe he can take the opportunity to control the capital, and he can only use Wenchen to suppress, who wins and who loses, it is really hard to say.
There is no absolute winner, everyone is cautious, and in this rare state of equilibrium, their respective development has not been forced to a dead end.
But this is just because the effect of the small pill is just like this, change it to an elixir that can make people immortal, see who can calm down?
"There is only one word difference between the big and small pills, what is the effect of the big pills, I seem to have seen the historical records - by the way, it is the pill that Emperor Long An refined, saying that it can live forever!"
The King of Shu's expression suddenly turned gloomy and almost dripped, although Emperor Long An still died, but he knew his father's temperament, not to mention suspicious, he was wise and it was difficult to deceive.
"Could it be that my father is seeking immortality?
It's not that there is no possibility, even the little Huandan who keeps his father from having to linger on the sickbed, if there is really one that can make people immortal, no, there is no need to live forever, just let the father and emperor live for a few more decades, and what is the matter with their brothers?
The father will definitely not be willing to give them this elixir of longevity, even if these adult princes are boiled to old age, there are still royal grandchildren, and even the father may not be able to give birth to a younger prince.
What else will happen?
The King of Shu has always been measured in emotional control, and he lost his temper before because of the matter of Princess Ningguo, but that was only because of anger, but this time he really changed color.
"Father, do you still want to succeed for thousands of generations?"
"What kind of medicine is Blood Cinnamon, it must be investigated. ”
Taiping Lane: Six days later
Taiping Lane is ten miles away from Lepingfang, there is a bookstore on the street, behind the bookstore is a small three-entry residence, which can be connected with the bookstore in front, and there is another door in the alley, even if people come and go on weekdays, because it is a bookstore that opens the door to do business, it has never attracted attention.
Outsiders don't know that this shop, which is inconspicuous among all the shops in the capital, seems to be an ordinary shop, but it is a stronghold of the Imperial City Division, and the shopkeepers and guys who open the door to do business outside are all ordinary foreign officials of the Imperial City Division.
In the courtyard of the house behind the bookstore, someone was working on paperwork in one of the rooms.
Each small stronghold of the Imperial City Division is responsible for the news of an area, and a steady stream of various information is gathered into the small stronghold, and after screening, the more important information is passed up, filtered layer by layer, and finally falls into the hands of the emperor, which is the most important content.
After all, the emperor has a lot of opportunities, how can he bother with trivial things?
The moon hung high, the bookstore in front of it had also closed, some people had rested, and all kinds of news gathered here were being screened by a high-level in this small stronghold, who was in his thirties, with an ordinary face, and was busy for a while at the moment, and was about to take a sip of tea from a teacup and take a rest.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open by someone outside, and a young man who looked like a guy came in.
"Second uncle!"
The middle-aged man sitting there glanced at it and frowned: "Although you are my nephew, don't always be reckless, how many times have you said it? ”
"Also, the Imperial City Division has strict rules, here, you have to call me Lord, and you must not use private courtesy, let outsiders hear it, it is not a big deal. ”
The young man hurriedly restrained his expression and saluted respectfully: "Yes, the adult taught us!"
handed over the newly delivered documents to him: "This is the news that just came from Lepingfang, and it was summarized by the people of Lepingfang and handed it to us." ”
The power spread out by the Imperial City Division in the capital is like a fine net, obviously it is just a city, but it is more manpower and material resources than any other province.
Of course, this is also a very normal thing, there are many noble and high-ranking officials in the capital, even the kings and most of the clans, they are all living in the capital, these people are all the imperial city division needs to pay close attention, and there will be people watching in each prefecture, but the number of people sent is different according to the size of the official position and the strength of the strength.
All the Beijing officials above the fourth rank official, there are few people who do not have the Imperial City Division in the palace, this part of the spies usually do not pass on the news, just lurk in the crowd and live quietly, once the emperor needs, an order is issued, and the quiet chess pieces will move instantly.
Although there are very few households in Lepingfang, there are many powerful people, and even the king of Shu lives, so there is also a small contact point, in a time-honored pastry shop, but the person in charge is just a guy, the pastry shop itself is not a stronghold, after getting the news from the palace, the person who disguised himself as a guy summarized the news into a document and handed it to the stronghold of Taiping Lane.
"The King of Shu has been looking for someone to refine the pill recently, is this the pill formula?"
Open the paperwork, look at the content on it, the time, place, people, and possible people involved in the incident are all summarized in place.
But it's just alchemy, should it be handed over?
The person in charge of this stronghold frowned and pondered, and thought secretly: "This pill is generally ordinary, and it doesn't seem to be a poison, but after all, the news is from the Shu Palace, so let's report it." ”
After thinking about it, he put this document in a stack of documents to be reported.
Soon the ox carts left from here and headed for the Imperial City.
