I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

The next morning

At the gate of Qinghai Daoyi Town, Li Shen was saying goodbye to everyone, and all the officials and generals came to see him off.

Li Shen explained everything one by one and told them to do what they arranged.

Li Tai and Li Zhi also arrived. They didn't know why Li Shen had to return to Chang'an just one day after arriving.

They speculated that something big must have happened in Chang'an, and they even thought that their father, the Emperor, was dying.

But he couldn't ask this.

"Fourth brother, ninth brother, I have something to do when I go back to Chang'an. I will be back in a month at most. You just help me take care of the government affairs.

The other boys have already made arrangements. If you are not interested, ask Deputy Governor Li for some men and horses to go hunting. It is a lot of fun here with a vast area and few people. "

"Don't worry, Tenth Brother. Aye asked us to assist you. We should obey your arrangements." Li Tai nodded.

Li Shen came to Su Xiaoxiao and Liu Ruyan again.

"It takes day and night to get there, so I can't take you two with me. You wait in the Protector's Mansion for my return.

I will leave as soon as possible, and Shitou Chunxiang and Dongmei will stay with you two. "

"My lord, be more careful when you go back." Su Xiaoxiao helped Li Shen tidy up his clothes.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please pay attention to safety along the way and don't be anxious." Liu Ruyan followed.

"Do not worry."

After Li Shen finished speaking, he got on his horse, glanced at everyone, took the lead, and galloped away.

Li Shen was followed by one hundred personal guards. There are also five hundred guards.

This time he was marching in a hurry and needed to hurry, so it was not convenient for him to bring too many people.

Soon Li Shen's team disappeared from everyone's sight, and everyone returned to their posts.

"Fourth brother, what do you think happened in Chang'an City?"

On the way back, Li Zhi asked worriedly.

"I don't know either, but it must be a big deal, otherwise I wouldn't be so anxious to run back.

Either there was a big change in Prince Ji's Mansion, and he was anxious to go back and deal with it.

Or..."

"Something happened in the palace!!" Li Zhi answered before Li Tai said anything.

Li Tai nodded.

"Yes, Lao Shi's message is very effective. Chang'an City must have sent him a letter saying that something happened in the palace, so he was so anxious.

Apart from these two possibilities, the other ten would not care so much. "

After Li Tai finished speaking, he followed Li Zhi and fell into deep thought. What was going on.

The two of them felt that something might not have happened to Prince Ji's Mansion. Prince Ji's Mansion was now very powerful in the merchant world.

No one can afford it.

What makes Lao Shi so anxious must be the matters in the palace. One is the prince Li Chengqian, and the other is their father.

"Could it be..."

After Li Zhi said two words, he looked at Li Tai, and Li Tai also looked at Li Zhi. The two brothers just looked at each other.

After a moment, Li Zhi shook his head.

"It's impossible. If that's the case, my eldest brother will definitely call us all back, not just Li Shen."

But that's not what Li Tai thought in his heart. If that's the case, in order to stabilize the court, it would be understandable for the prince to call Li Shen back.

Li Shen has always been a supporter of the prince, so he can go back to advise the prince.

Moreover, Li Shen does not have military power in his hands. Military power? No, Li Shen didn't lead his troops back.

Thinking of this, Li Tai was puzzled.

"Alas!! Even if we send people back to inquire at this time, it's already too late. We'd better wait and see what happens.

If something big happens, someone from the palace will send us a message. "

Li Tai sighed.

After speaking, the two brothers returned to their residence.

Chang'an City

The mission to Tianzhu returned, and Jiang Shiren brought back the credentials of various countries.

At that time, Tianzhu was divided into five countries: East, South, West, North and Central. Central Tianzhu was the strongest.

After Jiang Shiren came to Tianzhu, all the countries sent envoys to pay tribute to the Tang envoys.

At the time when the king of Zhongtianzhu died, minister Aronashun proclaimed himself king and sent troops to attack Jiang Shiren. Jiang Shiren and the envoy were captured. Aluanashun looted all the tributes from various countries.

Later, Jiang Shiren escaped. Using the edict as evidence, the Niboluo Kingdom sent 7,000 people to Zhongtianzhu.

Jiang Shiren led his troops to defeat Central Tianzhu, captured Aronashun and his concubines and sons, and captured more than 12,000 people, and forced the landing of more than 580 cities and settlements.

Jiang Shiren returned to Chang'an and brought back the Tianzhu monk Naluo'er Suo Pomei. This Naluo Sovame was a Brahmin and an alchemist.

Jiang Shiren was attracted by his magical words.

He believed that this Tianzhu monk could create the elixir of immortality for His Majesty, and took him back to Chang'an.

Li Shimin was delighted when he heard this and immediately summoned the alchemist.

"Naluo You Suo Po Mei, this is my Emperor, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Jiang Shiren took people to the Manlu Hall and said to Na Luo You Suo Po Mei.

"Monk Naluo Suo Po Mei pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven." Na Luo Suo Po Mei saluted immediately.

"Well, I heard that you can refine elixirs?" Li Shimin asked with interest.

"Your Majesty, can you tell how old I am today?" Naluo Suo Po Mei asked.

"Haha, interesting. I think you are only about sixty." Li Shimin smiled slightly.

Naluo Suo Po Mei shook her head,

"To be honest with Your Majesty, this poor monk is already two hundred years old."

"Two hundred years old?" Li Shimin was shocked.

"Yes, in addition to practicing cultivation, the poor monk also has a method of immortality."

Then Na Luo Suo Po Mei began to tell how he became immortal and how he experienced these two hundred years.

The more Li Shimin listened, the brighter his eyes became. Many of them were similar to what other alchemists said.

"Your Majesty, the poor monk's elixir of immortality requires gathering seven rare and precious things in the world to refine it.

The seven medicinal materials are: diamond, coral, pearl, amber, clam, agate and crystal.

These medicinal materials have miraculous effects, which can prolong life, enhance physical strength, improve wisdom, expel evil spirits, and prevent diseases.

The poor monk named this elixir Qibaodan. "The sincerity on Luo Neo Suo Po Meni's face made Li Shimin even more convinced.

Many of these things are only found in Tianzhu and the Western Regions. They are very precious and cannot be bought with the gold and silver of other alchemists.

Li Shimin immediately sent people to settle down Naluo Suo Po Mei, ordered people to collect the precious materials, and asked Na Luo Suo Po Mei to personally make the elixir of immortality.

These materials are not easy to find, so Li Shimin sent out a lot of manpower and spent countless money.

Among the ministers in the court, some objected but dared not speak out, while others flattered and offered suggestions.

Prince Li Chengqian has been looking sad these days, and the arrival of Naluo Suo Po Me broke his plan.

What this Tianzhu man said was amazing. Judging from the situation, his father still believed it, and he didn't know if Lao Shi would be able to persuade His Majesty after he came back.

Because even he somewhat believed in this Nara Nasa Pomei.

But at this time, because of the difficulty in searching for the materials for making the Qibao Dan, some materials could not be found on the market at all.

So someone set their sights on the treasure house of Prince Ji's Mansion, the No. 2 Treasure House of Prince Ji's Mansion, which is known as the first treasure house in the world.

(Jiang Shiren in the article was the deputy general who followed Wang Xuance on his mission to Tianzhu in history. The whole story plus Wang Xuance is a historical record.

There is also this Naluo Suo Po Me, I checked a lot of information but I can’t find how he deceived Li Shimin.

It was only recorded that he claimed to be two hundred years old and that he had the power of immortality, so Li Shimin was convinced. The specific reason was unknown.

The meeting is over! )
