I'm playing tricks in Daqin

Hearing this, Li Chang was in a good mood, so he put down the books he was using to pretend, and looked at him with great interest, "Master Taoist, why don't you tell me, what's good?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, recently I have watched the celestial phenomena at night, and found that the celestial phenomena have changed. Since ancient times, there are very few cases where the five stars are in a row, not to mention that this time the five stars are gathered in Kuisu, the best of luck!"

Then Li Chang raised his eyebrows and felt a little uncontrollable joy in his heart, "Is this true?"

Ling Kongzi stroked his own floating dust with his hands, and took a few steps forward, "Five stars connected to Yu Kui represent the auspicious omen of extremely prosperous literary fortune, which means that this prosperous age is coming soon."

Before Li Chang could speak, Ling Kongzi flattered and said, "Thanks to Your Highness for protecting the people of our country, we are able to enjoy this once-in-a-century spectacle and prosperity. It is really our luck that Your Highness is as blessed as the sky."

"Good! Well said!"

Since ancient times, only the emperor can protect the people of the world. After being flattered by Ling Kongzi, Li Chang "Longyan Joy"

, He ordered someone to bring a chair for Ling Kongzi to allow him to sit down and talk to himself, "To tell you the truth, I have often dreamed of a glittering golden dragon flying through the sea of ​​clouds recently. I don't know how to explain this?"

Suddenly, Ling Kongzi slapped his forehead, and his eyes exuded a look of amazement, "This is a sign from the heavens. Only the true dragon emperor can see his incarnation in his dreams. The golden dragon means immortality."

"True Dragon Son"

Let Li Chang's spirit lift up, you can hear "immortality"

After this word, Li Chang suddenly became silent, and after a while he said softly: "Master Daoist, do you believe that there is really a magic of immortality in this world?"

"of course."

Ling Kongzi replied without thinking.

Afterwards, Li Chang suddenly burst out laughing, which made Ling Kongzi a little surprised.

"Since ancient times, there have been many emperors who have searched hard, but in the end they all failed. None of the emperors succeeded. Now you tell me that you believe in immortality. Do you know the fate of the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Li Chang was a little angry, Ling Kongzi hurriedly knelt on the ground with interest, and said with a pious face: "Your Highness, the poor are not deceiving the emperor, it's just that the art of immortality is hidden and hard to find, and the emperors of all generations have been searching hard. Just because it wasn't found doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

"Well, there is some truth in what you said. So far, no one knows whether this technique of immortality really exists. Well, get up, I just want to chat with you today, don't be nervous."

Ling Kongzi nodded, and then sat back on the chair. There was no one else in the hall except him and Li Chang, and the empty environment made him a little dazed.

"Pindao once heard from the masters that the elixir refined by the Taishang Laojun has the effect of immortality. Eating it can prolong life, and even the gray old man can become as energetic as a young man after eating it. .”

"You are too exaggerated, I don't believe it."

Ling Kongzi smiled slightly, "This is just a rumor from the masters. Later they studied the refining of elixir, and it does have the effect of prolonging life. If you take it for a long time, I am afraid it is the art of immortality that everyone is talking about now."

Hearing that only taking elixir can achieve the effect of prolonging life, Li Chang shook his head, "If you say this elixir is useful, who can say for sure what goes into the stomach."

"Perhaps, this elixir won't work for people like us, but you are different, Your Highness."

Li Chang raised an eyebrow, "What's the difference?"

"You are the reincarnation of a real dragon, so you are naturally different from ordinary people like us. Besides, these elixirs are all made of dozens of rare herbs in the world. One is worth thousands of gold, and only you can deserve it."

"It is recorded in ancient books that some medicinal herbs have the effect of prolonging life, and when combined with the technique of refining medicine, the effect will be multiplied."

"But where can I find these medicinal materials?"

Ling Kongzi shook his head in distress, "I'm afraid it depends on good luck. The emperors of all dynasties spent their whole lives searching for these medicinal materials, and they died before they were found. According to the poor, this is their destiny." .”

"I heard Master once said that there is a folk rumor that a farmer accidentally fell off a cliff and got a 'Bingyu Powder', and then the broken bone healed miraculously. After his death, his body could not be melted for a long time. If you practice it, you will become an indestructible body, not afraid of fire or freezing, and the wounds on your skin will heal instantly."

"It's so amazing?"

After hearing this rumor, Li Chang subconsciously stopped, and listened to Ling Kongzi's words with relish.

"That's right. At that time, someone saw him ascend to heaven and become an immortal, so this magic medicine was called the medicine of immortality, and it was also the medicine that everyone was looking for hard."

"Pindao also learned that it is said that when he attained the Tao and became an immortal, there was also a vision of the five-star continuum. It is a rare opportunity in a hundred years. If..."

Ling Kongzi played tricks.

"What if?"

Seeing that Li Chang gradually became interested, Ling Kongzi pretended to close his eyes and pinch his fingers for divination, mumbling something in his mouth: "If we can make the elixir while the five stars are in succession, I'm afraid it will have the effect of immortality."

"The right time, the right place, and the right people are indispensable."

If the previous words made Li Chang feel that they were probably a bit mythical, then the latter sentence was just a stepping stone to his willingness to believe in Ling Kongzi.

He believes that he is the real dragon emperor, and also believes that the appearance of the five-star Lianzhu is a sign from the heavens. Now that the whole court has resentment towards Li Wei, it is not only the trend of the times, but also destiny to replace him.

Since it is a rare encounter in a hundred years, maybe he can really achieve the immortality that so many people dream of.

"I still don't believe in immortality. Prolonging your life is a good choice. I will allow you to start alchemy from today. If it doesn't work by then, I will take your head."

At this moment, Li Chang has begun to fantasize that he is already immortal, and feels that as long as he can do it, this prosperous world will last forever under the blessing of his blessing.

"Your Highness, don't worry, Pindao will do his best to refine the panacea for you to prolong your life and ensure your satisfaction."

After letting Ling Kongzi go down, Li Chang asked the chief servant of the palace to test the pill, and after confirming that there was no problem with the pill, Li Chang couldn't wait to take it.

Swallowing it into his stomach, Li Chang soon felt a hot current rushing from his dantian all over his body, even the "little prince" who was no longer useful

He also stood proudly, with an attitude of disobedience.

Li Chang excitedly said: "Okay, okay, Ling Kongzi is really not an ordinary person, hurry up, pass it on!"

"Yes, this servant will invite Ling Kongzi here..."

"Fart! What is this king doing seeing him at this time! Immediately call those singers over, just now this king lost face in front of them, now this king wants to let them see how powerful this king is! Go! "

Chapter 629 The Big One

In the garden of the palace, Ling Kongzi pretended to admire the flowers, but was actually waiting for the news. When he saw the chief servant nodded to him when he passed by, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and immediately went back to the room arranged for him by the palace.

At this time, a woman in white clothes who looked like a fairy was sitting on the bed and meditating. Ling Kongzi respectfully said: "Your Highness, Li Chang has already entered the hub."

"It's just a stupid and incompetent person, so it's easy to deceive."

"Your Highness the Holy Maiden, the situation in Chang'an is currently dark and unclear. The Holy Maiden may be in danger if she comes at this time, or..."

"That's why I came here in person. I used to hear that the Great Qin Emperor was so brave and mighty. This time I just saw him. Is he a man with a reputation that is hard to live up to or a man with nothing in vain? You should stay by Li Chang's side. If he If we lose, let's get out immediately, if he succeeds in ascending the throne, I will return to Yuandao Daxing, just around the corner."

Thinking that he might become the minister of the dragon in the new dynasty, Ling Kongzi couldn't help showing excitement on his face.

"Saint, I heard the news from the hidden stake in the city that Zhuang Zhiming wants to cut off Li Wei's wings."

"Oh, the timing of my visit is just right. I can watch a big show as soon as I enter Chang'an. I can't miss this excitement."

Going back to the palace and looking through the memorial, the sixth father-in-law hurried to the front.

"Your Majesty, something serious has happened! Wei Yongjie has been arrested!"

Hearing the report, Li Wei's anger suddenly rose. Just after the reform of the currency system was implemented, the civil servants found an excuse to arrest Shang Kaiping. Now that the alliance with the bank is entering a decisive battle, they have arrested Wei Yongjie again, which is too deceitful.

"It's unreasonable. They want to arrest all the people who work for me? Who did it?"

"Jing Zhaoyin, Your Majesty, the reported file is that Wei Yongjie killed Li Lianhua, the son of the clan. At that time, there were dozens of people watching, and the witnesses and material evidence gathered..."

The royal family is huge, with thousands of clans. Who Li Lianhua is, Li Wei has never heard of it.

"Your Majesty, Jing Zhaoyin has already sentenced him to be executed, and the Ministry of Punishment has replied, and he will be executed today."

"Hehe, this emperor, this is the first time I've discovered that my Daqin's yamen is so efficient, I'll go to Jingzhaoyin immediately..."

"Your Majesty, counting the time, Wei Yongjie may be sent to the execution ground."

"Then go to the execution ground! I want to see who dares to kill my people."

The original intention of setting up the execution ground in a downtown area was to let the common people watch and deter the common people with the heads of death row criminals, but the person who made this rule obviously didn't know how much common people like to watch the crowds.

To this day, whenever there is a red business trip, the common people rush to watch, and even the steamed buns stained with the blood of the prisoners are sold at a clearly marked price, stepping out of an industry, how can there be any deterrence at all?After complaining in his heart, Huang Jun looked up at the sundial, and said loudly: "The time has come, execution!"

Feeling the wooden plaque on his neck being taken away, Wei Yongjie's body subconsciously trembled. All this was like a dream, and he still can't fully believe it is real.

My wife had an affair with a clan son, so what's wrong with beating the clan son?It's just a wine bottle, why did you kill someone?Even if someone was killed, the trial was too sloppy. After he was caught, he was sent directly to the court. Damn Jing Zhaoyin, he didn't ask any questions, and was forced to press his fingerprints on the pre-written confession , Injustice, I am an injustice! "I want to see the emperor!"

Hearing Wei Yongjie's shout, Huang Jun sneered and said, "Okay, after you die, you can ask to see the emperor in your dreams."

"Huang Jun, you dog official, why did you hurt me!"

"Killing pays for life, if you say harm, it is you who harmed yourself. In the next life, you must be aware of current affairs."

Hearing this, Wei Yongjie immediately understood that everything was a trap, and that he was the chicken used to scare the monkeys.

"You guys let Li Lianhua seduce my wife?"

"You talk too much nonsense, execute!"

"Huang Jun! You dog official, you will die badly, Your Majesty will not let you go!"

"Haha, you are thinking too much. This officer handles the case according to the law. Even if the emperor knows about it, he will only praise it, not refute it."

"I want to see the emperor, see the emperor!"

"Execution!"

Huang Jun urged.

The executioner sprayed the knife with a sip of wine, opened his posture, and raised the big knife in his hand high.

Seeing that the sword was about to fall, Li Wei finally brought people over, "Stop!"

The case was handled in such a hurry, because he was worried that Li Wei would stop him, but unexpectedly he came in person, Huang Jun hurriedly shouted: "Execute immediately!"

It is said that the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, but Li Wei was in a hurry to leave the palace, and he didn't even change his dragon robe. Even if the executioner was a fool, he could guess Li Wei's identity.

The emperor stopped, how dare he continue to see through, he dropped the knife in fright, and knelt on the ground directly.

Riding his horse to the execution platform, Li Wei drew his sword and cut off the rope on Wei Yongjie's body.

The executioner looked up subconsciously, and found that the emperor was looking at him with regret. He couldn't help wondering, did the emperor dislike his obedience and didn't kill Wei Yongjie?

I just don't know if Li Wei would call Li Wei a stupid king when he regretted that he had no chance to stage the scene of saving his ministers and killing the executioner in anger.

"Your Majesty, why did you do this?"

"Your name is Huang Jun, the new Jing Zhaoyin? Do you dare to question me? Let me ask you, why did you kill Wei Yongjie?"

"Wei Yongjie beat the clan's son Li Lianhua to death. Here are the testimony of witnesses, the autopsy, and Wei Yongjie's statement. The evidence is solid."

Huang Jun knew that Zhuang Zhiming bought the position of Jing Zhaoyin for himself in order to eradicate the emperor's wings, and he had been mentally prepared for a long time, and now he is not in vain in the face of Li Wei.

"Your Majesty, I didn't confess, they forced me to press the confession!"

Wei Yongjie shouted hastily.

Dare to kill Wei Yongjie, Huang Jun must have made sufficient preparations. He didn't even bother to read the so-called testimony and confession. He sneered and said, "I will try this case myself..."

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. All your worries and worries should be the major issues of your family, country, and world. How can you bend the law for personal gain?"

When a voice full of anger came, Huang Jun immediately showed a smile on his face. The old proprietor Zhuang was indeed not simple, and he invited everyone here.

"Gao Deqing? What are you doing here?"

"The emperor has done it before, and the courtiers should advise them!"

"You are no longer a minister."

"Your Majesty has not issued an order to dismiss the official of the humble minister, and the humble minister is still an official, even if he is not an official, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world!"

As soon as the voice fell, the surrounding people applauded one after another.

Gao Deqing is just a child of a poor family, without a powerful background, and does not have enough money to get through it. He was also unlucky and did not go outside. He stayed in Chang'an, where there are many dignitaries, as an official.

When he got the official certificate, Gao Deqing knew that he had no hope of getting ahead in this life, and the only way was to support him.

Having been an official for more than ten years, Gao Deqing has always shown himself as an upright official. He has not only become a famous Qingliu, but also won the admiration of countless people.

Originally, he wanted to rely on the reputation he had cultivated for many years to be reused by Li Wei, but after finally waiting for the emperor to visit the virtuous, Li Wei directly tore through his mask.

Gao Deqing, who had no other choice, could only get on Li Chang's chariot. He came today not only to hand in a vote to Li Chang, but also to avenge his humiliation.

"Wei Yongjie is an official appointed by the imperial court, and he is suspected of being wronged. Of course, I can't turn a blind eye."

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, how many officials are convicted by the imperial court every year, and how many of them are wronged? Has Your Majesty interrogated them one by one? The emperor is selfless, and Wei Yongjie cannot be given the title just because His Majesty favors Wei Yongjie! If this is the case today, then From now on, His Majesty's favorite ministers will be unscrupulous, Wei Yongjie even dared to kill the clan son, and His Majesty indulged him, how much suffering the people of Chang'an will suffer in the future!"

As a master of manipulating people's hearts, Gao Deqing understands what the common people think. For powerful and corrupt officials, they are not so much hated, but feared, fearing that one day they will suffer disaster.

Now after listening to Gao Deqing's words, everyone felt a sense of common hatred.

"Please Your Majesty, severely punish Wei Yongjie and rectify the law of the country!"

Seeing Gao Deqing kneeling, Huang Jun knelt down immediately, and the subordinate soldiers present, and the people watching also knelt down one after another.

Even the Son of Heaven cannot act recklessly. This time Gao Deqing coerced a large number of people to force Li Wei to bow his head.

"Your Majesty, there are thousands of mistakes, and they are all the fault of the humble minister. If you kill the humble minister, you must not lose the hearts of the people."
