Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Seeing Li Zhi's greedy eyes, Li Qinzai's heart sank to the bottom.

Sure enough, no emperor could resist the temptation of immortality.

Even the wise Li Shimin called warlocks into the palace to make alchemy in his later years. Li Zhi was so young, and under his rule, Datang was even better than Zhenguan.

For Li Zhi, there are no enemies in the world, and the only enemy in his life is time.

So, Lu Jiayi came and brought the elixir of life.

Li Qinzai didn't know how to persuade him. Li Zhi probably wouldn't listen to any advice at this time. Whoever dares to stop him from taking drugs is his enemy.

Of course, Li Qinzai knows that the so-called elixir of life is just a deception. There is no immortal person in the world. After taking the drug, it will take time to see if it will be cured. This time may be decades. As long as Li Zhi survives, there will be no Man proves his elixir is fake.

But in fact, many emperors were obsessed with longevity, and as a result, the more they took the elixir, the worse their health became. Those who could have lived a hundred years died in the end after living only half their lives.

During the refining process of those elixirs, various heavy metals such as sulfur, lead, cinnabar, and mercury were added to them. If you often eat like this, even a fairy physique can't bear it.

Li Qinzai didn't know how to persuade Li Zhi. In today's era, there is no concept of "science", and the world believes in all kinds of metaphysics and theology. Since there is a god in the world, there must be an elixir of life. This is the most reasonable logic in this era. .

Li Qinzai looked at Li Zhi, and said calmly, "Your Majesty believes in immortality?"

Li Zhi thought for a while and said hesitantly: "There are thousands of good fortunes in the world, so maybe immortality also exists?"

Then Li Zhi said excitedly: "If there is such a thing, after I take it, I will give it to you and Yinggong. We monarchs and ministers live for tens of millions of years. The world map you once drew at the beginning of Jingchu is in the generation of our monarchs and ministers." Then they can all be incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the world will be the Tang Dynasty from now on, wouldn’t it be beautiful?”

Li Qinzai sighed, you're going to kill yourself, and why are you dragging me and grandpa to die together...

If it weren't for the fact that you are the emperor, you wouldn't dare to beat you up, you should be lying on the ground with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and call someone to report to the police.

Li Qinzai pondered for a moment, and finally couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty believes that his elixir is real?"

Li Zhi hadn't spoken yet, but Lu Jiayiduo said indifferently: "There are many sorcerers who bluff and deceive in the world. It is reasonable for Duke Li to suspect foreign ministers. Whether the elixir of immortality given by foreign ministers is true or not, Your Majesty knows that this medicine is only given to those who are destined. Your Majesty is the child of destiny, and it will not appear in this world easily."

Li Zhi nodded and said: "That's right, I just met a person, who is also from their Utu country, he looks only 40 to 100 years old, but he has lived for more than [-] years."

Seeing Li Qinzai's brows slightly frowned, Li Zhi said again: "Of course, I will not take medicine lightly. I just took a pill and ordered the Imperial Medical Office to analyze the pharmacology and identify the toxicity. Even if it does not lead to longevity, at least it can greatly nourish it."

Seeing that Li Zhi seemed to have completely believed in Lu Jiayi, Li Qinzai sighed.

Forget it, it's useless to say anything now.

If this continues, it is not impossible for this Lu Jiayi to be named a national teacher.

So Li Qinzai smiled and said: "Since Your Majesty believes it, I will not say more."

Li Zhi smiled and said: "If this medicine is true, I will definitely leave a few pills for you and Yinggong. What is the meaning of my long life alone? I always want us, the monarchs and ministers, to live happily for thousands of years, and create something unique in the past and the present. His great achievements will not be in vain in this life.”

Li Qinzai sighed: "I don't really want to live forever. It is enough to live to be 80 years old. The next life may be even more exciting."

Lu Jiayi said: "Samsara is impermanent, and the next life is unpredictable. Only by accumulating great virtues can we have the protection of the Buddha. The foreign minister heard that Li Jungong made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty, especially the discovery of new grains. Surviving thousands of people, this is a great merit..."

"If Jungong Li doesn't have the idea of ​​longevity, the ministers believe that Jungong Li will have a great fortune in the next life."

Li Qinzai had a smile on his face, but he quickly glanced at Lu Jiayi, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and then quickly disappeared.

"Chenggui envoy auspicious words, I will accumulate more good deeds, maybe after the reincarnation, your majesty will still be in the prime of life, then I will meet your majesty again, and assist your majesty to create another great cause."

…………

After leaving the Taiji Palace, Li Qinzai ordered to go back to the Duke's mansion.

Things were a bit troublesome, Lu Jiayi had already gained Li Zhi's trust, if he was allowed to continue deceiving, the courtiers would probably believe him too.

The "elixir of life" is a trump card in his hand, even Li Zhi believed him, how could the courtiers not believe it?

If things go on like this, when Lu Jiayi has many believers in the court, how terrifying this force will be.

An exotic magic stick, calling the wind and rain in the Tang dynasty, does Li Qinzai believe that he will treat the people kindly?

Back in the mansion, Li Qinzai took a deep breath alone in the backyard, trying to suppress his anger.

Not only angry at Li Zhi's ignorance and failure to live up to expectations, but also at Lu Jiayi's deceitful deceit and hidden evil intentions.

The current situation is very troublesome. If Lu Jiayiduo is still unknown, just an envoy of a small country, Li Qinzai can kill him without any scruples, no matter how many experts around him are useless.

However, he has met Li Zhi and gained Li Zhi's trust, so he already has a gold medal for avoiding death, and Li Qinzai can no longer attack him.

Immediately Li Qinzai thought that besides refining the elixir, Lu Jiayiduo also boasted that he could cure Prince Li Hong, Li Qinzai's heart tightened suddenly.

The elixir of life may not kill people for a while, but Li Hong is seriously ill and only has one breath left. If he eats something messy, he may not be able to bear it.

So Li Qinzai rushed out of the room and loudly ordered Buqu to prepare the carriage.

East Palace.

The three brothers Li Hong, Li Xian and Li Xian were gathering in the dormitory, Li Xian and Li Xian were playing chess, Li Hong was lying on the sickbed, watching them with a smile.

Li Xian's chess skill is obviously not Li Xian's opponent, after only playing for a while, he was already scratching his head, regretting the game and cheating, but Li Xian could only laugh helplessly.

Li Hong is also laughing, he likes this kind of atmosphere, brothers and sisters are respectful, harmonious, only at this moment, they are truly like blood relatives, seamless, harmonious and friendly.

Seeing Li Hong coughing suddenly, the brothers Li Xian and Li Xian rushed forward.

Li Hong coughed and waved his hands with a smile, signaling them to continue playing chess.

At this time, a palace man walked into the hall quickly and reported to Li Hong that Li Qinzai, Duke of Liaodong County, asked to see him outside the East Palace.

Hearing Li Qinzai's arrival, the three brothers showed joy on their faces.

Although Li Qinzai is not a straight person and has a poisonous mouth, but for some reason, the three brothers of the Tian family are quite close to him. They are surrounded by too many people with their own ghosts, but Li Qinzai is neither humble nor overbearing, even if he is not too sincere. , at least no bad intentions.

Soon, Li Qinzai was led into the bedroom by the palace servants.

Li Xian got up first to salute his disciples, and then Li Qinzai saluted to Li Hong and Li Xian.

After seeing the ceremony, Li Xian brought a futon to Li Qinzai, and Li Qinzai sat down on his knees.

"Today is a rare day. Jing Chu actually took the initiative to come to see me in the East Palace." A smile appeared on Li Hong's pale face.
