Unparalleled Concubine

As he spoke, the old Taoist let out a long breath.

"Master Li is also considered a half Taoist disciple, please don't blame the innocent..."

Li Xin frowned slightly.

According to the old man, there seems to be no flaws.

But Emperor Taikang's death was strange, and even the time of his reign was the same as the previous divination in Longhushan. There was nothing tricky in it, and he didn't believe it.

He glanced at Zhang Tianshi with a cold expression on his face.

"Is the fifth younger brother of the Heavenly Master here?"

"Here I am."

Zhang Tianshi bowed his head deeply.

"The old man can let him come to see Lord Hou immediately."

Chapter 842 Returning to Dream Pill

The Tianshi Mansion is passed down by blood, that is to say, although the Tianshi is a monk, he still marries a wife and has children, and even takes concubines, and the offspring are prosperous. Among other things, there are eight or nine in the generation of the Tianshi Zhang Daoyuan. brother.

The fifth child is named Zhang Daozheng. As Zhang Tianshi said, studying medicine is more important than studying Taoism. In terms of occupation, he is actually a doctor and part-time Taoist priest, not a Taoist priest who has learned medical skills.

Zhang Daozheng is ten years younger than Zhang Daoyuan, but he is still in his sixties or seventies. He looks well maintained, and most of his hair is still black.

After seeing Li Xin, Zhang Daozheng lowered his head slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Zhang Daozheng met Li Taibao."

When Zhang Tianshi came to see Li Xin, Li Xin gave him a seat anyway, but when facing Zhang Daozheng, he stopped being polite and gave the doctor from the Tianshi's mansion a cold look.

"I heard that Daoist Zhang has been in the capital since the seventh year of Taikang, and stayed in the capital for two or three years. He didn't leave the capital until the end of last year."

Zhang Daozheng lowered his head slowly: "Poverty Dao has indeed lived in the capital for several years and is responsible for serving the late emperor."

Li Xin's expression was indifferent.

"The prescription you prescribed in the past two or three years, Ben Hou has already sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to investigate. If you find a prescription containing a bad person's body, you, as well as your Tianshi Mansion in Longhushan, will all be punished accordingly." Suffering a catastrophe!"

Zhang Daozheng looked up at Li Xin and sighed helplessly.

"Master Li, everything is fate, why force it?"

Li Xin was expressionless.

"I don't believe in fate. How can there be a reason why fate stipulates that a person can only live to be 33 years old?"

Zhang Daozheng glanced at Li Xin again.

"Ever since there was an emperor, the lifespan of an emperor would not be too long. There were eight emperors who entered the customs for more than 100 years in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Most of them died in their 30s, and the youngest one was only 21 years old."

The emperor is indeed a career that does not have a long life. On the one hand, it is because this position is exhausting and intrigues with countless people. died.

However, there must be something strange about the death of Emperor Taikang, even if it wasn't caused by Longhushan, at least part of the reason was due to them!

Zhang Daozheng stood in front of Li Xin, put his hands into his sleeves, bowed his head and said, "Master Hou, I have practiced medicine for decades, and I dare not talk about life and death, flesh and blood, but I have saved many people, and I will not do harm For things like this, let alone killing people, the prescriptions prescribed by Pindao are all on file in the Imperial Hospital, so you can check them out."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Li Xin.

"All the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital had seen the late emperor. No one said a word to the poor doctor. The death of the late emperor made the whole country feel sad, and the poor man was also deeply saddened, but Lord Hou couldn't rely on himself. Suspicious, put this matter on the head of my Tianshi Mansion."

His voice was hoarse.

"It is true that Lord Hou is the first-rank Taibao of the dynasty and holds a lot of power. My Longhushan Tianshi Mansion is just an outsider. In front of Lord Hou, I can only serve fish on the chopping board. To be fair."

Li Xin frowned deeply.

He took a few deep breaths, and after pondering for a while, he frowned and said: "Zhang Daochang, this time the imperial court sent Yu Linwei to invite your family. If you confess, Tianshi Mansion may be able to escape the disaster. If you deliberately hide it , isn't it as simple as you personally?"

Zhang Daozheng was silent.

He nodded deeply to Li Xin: "Master Hou just let go and investigate."

Having said that, Li Xin had no choice but to kill all the people in the Tianshi Mansion without saying anything, so he waved his hand.

"Since that's the case, the Taoist might as well go back and wait. The Marquis will naturally investigate."

Zhang Daozheng nodded, walked away from the pavilion, and walked to the courtyard where the Jing'an Hou Mansion was in charge of detaining the Tianshi Mansion.

As soon as he walked into the willingness, Zhang Daoyuan, the contemporary celestial master, immediately grabbed his sleeve, with a serious expression on his face.

"How is it?"

Zhang Daozheng glanced at his elder brother, his expression was a little unsightly.

He said in a deep voice: "Brother, take a step to speak."

Zhang Tianshi nodded and brought his brother into the room.

This time, a total of more than 50 people were brought to Longhushan, and they were locked in several small courtyards. Zhang Daoyuan lived in this courtyard with a total of six people, and it was not particularly crowded.

After the two brothers walked into the room, Zhang Daozheng sat on the ground in a daze, and said, "Brother, I guess we can't hide the matter..."

At the beginning, when the first emperor came to the throne, he invited Zhang Daoyuan to Beijing for divination. He should have said something nice anyway, but Zhang Tianshi was also proficient in medical skills. The prophecy that was only ten years old was made.

Later, the emperor really had a problem with his body, so he sent someone to Longhu Mountain to invite Zhang Daozheng to Beijing for help in diagnosis and treatment. There's nothing wrong with that, but...

But this Daoist Zhang not only gave the emperor a prescription, but also gave the emperor... pills!

In fact, Zhang Daozheng can't be completely blamed for this, because the emperor used ordinary prescriptions to no effect, and he still suffered from insomnia every night. At that time, he already believed in Longhushan's theory of "luck", so he asked Zhang Daozheng to give him some prescriptions. "Elixir", used to regulate the body and boost luck.

Coincidentally, Longhu Mountain has been refining alchemy for thousands of years, and there is indeed a elixir called Huimeng Pill that can help sleep, so Zhang Daozheng bit the bullet and offered this elixir.

In the beginning, it worked really well.

The emperor, who could not sleep for several days, fell asleep immediately after taking the elixir.

Ever since, this kind of medicine has become a constant elixir in Weiyang Palace. When the emperor couldn't sleep, he would take one pill and he would be able to sleep peacefully for a day.

For this reason, the emperor once rewarded Longhushan once, and sent a lot of incense money to Longhushan.

But medicine is three-point poisonous, not to mention the "elixir" made by these Taoist priests with metals such as lead and mercury?

Over the years, the emperor not only ruined his body, but also developed resistance to the medicine. Later, this kind of medicine was useless.

Fortunately, Meng Dan was not archived in the Tai Hospital this time, so Li Xin couldn't find it when he went to the Tai Hospital to check.

Zhang Tianshi, with fluttering white hair, looked serious.
