Loyang Jin
Chapter 362: Immortality 1
The emperor visited the garden every day and held banquets for fun, and he was in a very happy mood.
Taoist priest Yu has been standing guard by the alchemy furnace, so it is inconvenient for the emperor to ask questions at any time. Every day when Wei Yan came to diagnose Ping'an Pulse, the emperor would ask about the progress and situation of the refining of the Immortality Pill.
In front of the emperor, Wei Yan neither exaggerated nor belittled the Taoist priest. He only told the truth about what he saw.
"Master Yu Xian is very proficient in medicinal alchemy, and the selection and dosage are very precise."
"The other immortal masters are also very dedicated to alchemy."
"The Taoist boys who are guarding the alchemy furnace are divided into three groups. They have been guarding the alchemy furnace since early in the morning and never slack off."
And so on.
The emperor was very satisfied with Wei Yan's performance. He said to King Yan in private: "I asked Imperial Physician Wei to supervise the progress of the alchemy. It was indeed the right move. Imperial Physician Wei has no jealousy towards the Immortal Master and reports all situations truthfully. I am very pleased!"
King Yan smiled and said: "Yes! My father has such loyal and capable people around him, and I am very happy for my father."
Forty-nine days passed in the blink of an eye. The Immortality Pill was finally completed.
Taoist priest Yu led a group of Taoist priests to offer elixirs.
The refined elixir is light red, round and shiny, about the size of a bean, and exudes a strange fragrance. One look at it and you can tell it's not ordinary.
"Thanks to the great blessing of the Emperor, this furnace of longevity pills has been successfully refined. A total of sixty pills have been produced." Taoist Master Yu has worked hard for more than a month, but he is not emaciated and haggard, his face is still rosy, and his voice is clear and powerful: "Every day, you only need Taking one immortality pill for one month can extend your life by ten years!”
The emperor's eyes lit up: "Is what Master Yu said true? Is it really such a miraculous effect?"
Taoist Master Yu smiled proudly, his smile full of self-confidence: "How dare a poor Taoist lie in front of the Emperor?"
"Pindao worked hard for decades before he developed the recipe for the elixir of longevity. When he was eighty years old, he began to refine the elixir and take it. It has been twenty years now, and he has never been sick or had gray hair. The body becomes darker and stronger.”
"Hearing is false, seeing is believing. Please also ask the emperor to order Dr. Wei to check the elixir and take it as soon as possible, so that it can take effect as soon as possible."
The emperor smiled happily and said: "Okay, as long as the longevity pill is indeed effective, I will definitely reward you heavily."
Taoist priest Yu thanked him respectfully.
The emperor immediately summoned Wei Yan and Dr. Zhou, and ordered them to take ten longevity pills for examination.
…
According to the palace's practice, only five of the ten immortality pills were inspected, and the other five were archived for future inspection in case of an unexpected incident.
Doctor Zhou took one and ground it into powder. He first observed it carefully, then smelled it, tasted a little, and then used various methods to check the ingredients of the elixir.
The medicine boy next to him recorded the test results of the imperial doctor for the next week one by one.
The same is true for Wei Yan. Tiandong held the writing brush in his hand and had already written a whole page. These inspection results must be kept on file for future reference.
After the two of them had examined each other, they got together to discuss.
"Mr. Wei, what do you think of this longevity pill?" Dr. Zhou asked in a low voice.
Wei Yan's eyes flashed, and he asked instead of answering: "I wonder what Dr. Zhou's intention is?"
Doctor Zhou stroked his beard and said after a while: "There is nothing wrong with the raw materials of this longevity pill. They are all medicinal materials brought from the palace. It's just that the refining method is very different from what we usually use. At present, it seems that it should not harm the body. . As for the efficacy of the medicine, it’s hard to say yet.”
Wei Yan smiled and slightly cupped his hands: "Physician Zhou is really smart. I checked the elixir and I think it is not a serious problem."
"What Dr. Wei means is..." Dr. Zhou lowered his voice: "Are we going to reply to the emperor like this? In this way, the emperor will let people test the medicine and then take it himself. If this longevity pill really works, In the future, this Taoist priest will definitely become a popular person in the eyes of the emperor. What else can we do with the imperial doctors at the imperial hospital?"
After all, people are selfish.
As an imperial doctor in an imperial hospital, he has the most direct conflict of interest with the Taoist priests who make alchemy. It would be best if we could take the opportunity to suppress the arrogance of these people!
Wei Yan was so keen that he understood the meaning of the words of Imperial Physician Zhou.
Wei Yan smiled faintly: "Physician Zhou, don't forget who introduced these Taoist priests. If there is really a problem with the elixir, we can stop it. But now it seems that this elixir is indeed harmless to the body. If the two of us don't tell the truth to the emperor, how can he be willing to give up?"
Doctor Zhou's heart trembled.
The person Wei Yan was talking about was of course King Yan!
The emperor's preference for King Yan is well known to everyone.
King Yan specially recommended Taoist priests to make elixirs for the emperor, and he said many good things behind his back. If King Yan knew that they had spoken against the Taoist priests in front of the emperor, he would definitely be concerned.
King Yan was never a broad-minded person. What if King Yan has a grudge and will deliberately seek trouble for him in the future. How could he, a mere imperial physician, be a match for King Yan? It is possible to have your bones removed...
That’s it! It would be better for them to interfere less with this kind of thing. To avoid getting into trouble!
The smart Doctor Zhou quickly figured out the mystery and glanced at Wei Yan gratefully: "Thank you, Doctor Wei, for reminding me. I will see the emperor tomorrow. I know what to say."
Wei Yan smiled modestly and did not take any credit: "Doctor Zhou, you don't have to be polite."
From the perspective of being used as medicine, there is indeed no problem with this longevity pill.
However, there is one medicinal ingredient in it. It doesn't matter if you take less of it, but if you take too much, it will gradually become addictive.
It seems that this is the real purpose of King Yan. They competed for the emperor's favor by offering immortality pills. After the emperor became addicted to taking them, he could no longer live without this immortality pill.
At that time, King Yan will be able to hold the emperor in his hands and force the emperor to issue an imperial edict...
This move is indeed a clever move.
No matter how powerful the prince is, he is only the crown prince. As long as the emperor does not ascend to heaven, the world will still belong to the emperor. The emperor has the final say as to who will sit on the dragon throne.
King Yan put a lot of thought into the dragon chair.
If the prince and grandson are unprepared, they will indeed fall into a passive position. However, Ling Jingshu now delivers the news back to the capital in time. It seems that the shrewd Emperor Taisun had already guessed King Yan's intention and was prepared in advance.
The next day, Wei Yan and Dr. Zhou went to the emperor to report the test results.
"Your Majesty, I have carefully inspected these immortality pills and they are not harmful to the body." Wei Yan reported respectfully.
Doctor Zhou also agreed: "Wei Chen has the same view. However, people still need to test the medicine to determine how effective it is."
The emperor relaxed his brows and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I understand."
