"You must not let the Holy One know about the Huichun Pill." Prime Minister Cai said meaningfully.

Someone immediately understood and said: "Even if the Holy Majesty wants to take medicine, I have to wait for my servants to investigate and make sure that the medicine is not poisonous."

Prime Minister Cai did not reply.

Another person said sonorously: "If the Holy Majesty finds out about this and indulges in alchemy, it will be a disaster for the country! As a minister, even if you are smashed to pieces, you must stop such disasters!"

Prime Minister Cai smiled, this is what the court ministers should say.

Very hypocritical, isn't it?Say it even if everyone knows what's going on, because it's politically correct!

For example, the higher the official position, the higher the moral standard.Whether this sentence is true or not, everyone has to say it.

What Prime Minister Cai meant, these disciples of him are very clear.

Once the emperor knows that there is such a Taoist priest, he will definitely be recruited into the palace. By then, the emperor may monopolize these pills.

It would be fine if this elixir was fake.If it is true, wouldn't that be giving up the chance of immortality to others?

Prime Minister Cai, who has power over the government and the public, has no pursuits anymore. He has never thought of rebelling and becoming emperor. The emperor needs to be blamed for being incompetent and ineffective in governing the country, but the civil servants don't care about it.Even if the country perishes, they can surrender and serve the new master.

Someone suggested: "At this moment, we should invite the Taoist priest back as soon as possible."

Prime Minister Cai nodded in agreement, this matter can no longer be publicized, even if he is covering the sky with one hand now, it is inevitable that the emperor will hear the news from other channels.

As long as the priest is invited back to the Cai Mansion, the emperor will know about it, and they will all say that it is a rumor.

As for the Daoist?Just let him practice alchemy in the secret room of the Prime Minister's Mansion with peace of mind for the rest of his life.

Everyone left the prime minister's mansion with their own thoughts.

Prime Minister Cai thought that everything was clearly arranged by him, but he didn't notice that his son-in-law, Minister of Rites Liu Sheng, was unusually quiet, and didn't echo what he said like an echo.

Liu Sheng is a marginal figure in the group headed by Prime Minister Cai. Prime Minister Cai himself has a lot of children and grandchildren, and several sons-in-law.A son-in-law who doesn't have much talent and relies entirely on nepotism will naturally not be valued by Prime Minister Cai.

But now, Liu Sheng's heart is extremely hot, and an opportunity for him to make a fortune is in front of him. If he succeeds, he will be able to get rid of the shadow brought by his father-in-law and his wife from now on, and he can even go one step further. Not impossible.

But the risk is as great as the reward, so what should he do?

After thinking all the way, Liu Sheng couldn't think of any way to get the best of both worlds. When he returned to his Shangshu Mansion, the servant looked at him with evasive eyes.

"What happened!" Liu Sheng asked sternly, and only in front of these servants did he really feel that he was a master and had to put on airs.

"It's Madam, she..." The boy didn't continue speaking with a look of embarrassment.

Liu Sheng's complexion changed suddenly. Ever since his wife became younger, she always liked to invite opera troupes to the mansion to sing operas, flirting with those young and handsome opera singers. Could it be that there is something wrong today?

Liu Sheng suppressed his anger and went back to his study. Even if Cai Shi really cuckolded him, he still had to endure it. He didn't have the capital to turn against Cai Shi.

Thinking of this, Liu Sheng's wavering determination just now became firmer!He reached out and took out two brocade boxes from the hidden compartment of the desk.

Liu Sheng stared at the things in his hands with fiery eyes. For these two medicines, he really bleeds a lot this time!

Prime Minister Cai wants to hide it from the emperor?Liu Sheng believed that the emperor would know about this sooner or later.

Many official wives have become so young. On the Qianqiu Festival and Longevity Day, foreign wives enter the palace to meet the queen and concubines. I don't believe those concubines who love beauty will resist asking about this matter!

Liu Sheng didn't quite understand why Prime Minister Cai insisted on stopping this matter that the emperor would know sooner or later, but this was precisely a good opportunity for Liu Sheng!A rejuvenation pill fell into his mouth.

Go to court on the second day.

Prime Minister Cai looked at Liu Sheng who had turned into a young man with a dark face, and secretly scolded this son-in-law for having shallow eyelids!But don't ruin your own event!

Eyes pierced Liu Sheng's body like knives, and everyone signaled Liu Sheng to keep his head down and not be seen by the emperor.

Liu Sheng sneered in his heart, he just wanted to let the emperor see, otherwise why would he take this medicine on purpose?

Liu Sheng calmly stepped out, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a book to play!"

The emperor looked at the young man in the official uniform in front of him in surprise. He was very impressed with Liu Sheng. He was a well-known soft rice man in the whole capital. The emperor also planned to use Liu Sheng to suppress the influence of Prime Minister Cai. Woolen cloth.

The moment Liu Sheng stepped out of the queue, he felt the glow on his back, and the shrewd Prime Minister Cai saw through this stupid son-in-law's thoughts in a second.Listening to this idiot's eloquent and eloquent talk about the master of Qingxuanguan, Prime Minister Cai almost vomited blood from anger.

The emperor didn't have any other thoughts, and now his mind was full of "rejuvenation and immortality", so he couldn't wait to issue an order: "Hurry up and invite this Taoist priest!"

The emperor came back to his senses and looked at Prime Minister Cai's uneasy expression, and he knew what was going on when he thought about it carefully. I am afraid that the prime minister knew about it but deliberately concealed it, and he was stabbed by his son-in-law unexpectedly.

The emperor was angry that Prime Minister Cai was deceiving him, but at the same time, he realized that this was a good opportunity to suppress Prime Minister Cai.So with a wave of the emperor's hand, Liu Sheng was promoted to rank!Let the Weng and son-in-law go to the ring.

After coming down to court, Prime Minister Cai just gave Liu Sheng a cold snort and walked away, and all civil and military officials also hid away when they saw him.

Liu Sheng only thought that these people were jealous that he was appreciated by the emperor.

Seeing Liu Sheng's complacent expression, everyone shook their heads, this is really an idiot!

Do you think that other people can't think of presenting treasures to the emperor to increase their ranks?Why don't you think about why no one is going to tell the emperor about this!

Liu Sheng swaggered towards the outside of the palace. From today onwards, he was the emperor's confidant, and he no longer had to look at the faces of the Cai family to live.

"Hmph!" Another cold snort, a certain prince glared at Liu Sheng, and walked away.

Liu Sheng didn't understand, so, he is now a celebrity around the emperor, why didn't the prince try to win him over?

After a while, Liu Sheng seemed to suddenly understand something, and cold sweat wet his back.

Prime Minister Cai hurried back to the mansion and had secret affairs with his sons in the study.

"I really didn't expect to be ruined by that idiot Liu Sheng!" Cai Chengxiang's eldest son said angrily.

Liu Sheng deliberately seduced the daughter of the Cai family back then, hoping to use the power of the Cai family to make a fortune.But now he despises the Cai family and doesn't want to admit that he is eating soft food. He is not very popular, what a bitch!

Prime Minister Cai sighed, and said, "It's useless to say these things."

Liu Sheng thought that if he told the emperor about Huichun Dan and hugged the emperor's thigh tightly, he would be able to get rid of the shadow of Prime Minister Cai's lineage.

But he forgot the most important thing - the emperor's sons.

There are quite a few adult princes who have left the palace to open a mansion, so it is impossible that they have not heard about Chundan this time, why didn't one of them tell the emperor about it?

Because those adult princes, especially those who are qualified to seize the throne, don't want the emperor to live a long life!

If the emperor is obsessed with alchemy, these princes are very happy. Only when the emperor is stupid, they have the opportunity to fight for more rights for themselves.

But now, no matter how you look at it, the Rejuvenation Pill looks like a real panacea, not a poisonous pill made by those magic sticks.

If the emperor really lived a long life, even if he only lived to be 80 years old, these adult princes would all become old princes. Maybe they didn't live as long as the emperor, so how could they have a chance to ascend to the throne?

Prime Minister Cai thought of this when he made up his mind to block the news. The emperor's adult sons definitely don't want the emperor to live a long life.

Almost all the officials in the court came from the line of Prime Minister Cai, and the prince could only win over Prime Minister Cai.With the cooperation of various forces, it is natural that the matter of Huichun Pill can be kept a secret for a while.

Prime Minister Cai never thought of hiding it from the emperor forever, he just needed time to erase all traces of the Taoist priest in the capital, and then completely control the Taoist priest in his hands, monopolizing all the pills that the Taoist priest can refine!

At that time, even if the emperor wants to ask for a elixir, he still has to look at the face of the Cai family!

Even if the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, as long as the Cai family still has this miraculous medicine in their hands, no matter who is the emperor, the Cai family will always have a place!

Prime Minister Cai's original intention was to make the Cai family a family that lasted for thousands of years, and secondly, he wanted to seek longevity.But he didn't expect to be ruined by his own people, it's really a disaster for Xiao Qiang!

……

Liu Sheng walked back to his mansion in a nonchalant way, and locked himself in the study without seeing anyone.He finally figured it out all the way, not only did he break up with the Cai family, but he also stood on the opposite side of all the princes.

Why are all officials afraid to take the panacea that can rejuvenate?Are you really worried about side effects like Afulan?Even if there are side effects, there must be many people who are willing to try the feeling of youthful glow.

But if you are going to be killed after eating it, would anyone dare to eat it?

After eating the Rejuvenation Pill, standing in the court hall is like a living sign, and it is bound to be suppressed by Cai Xiang and the princes who don't want the emperor to know about it.

Can ordinary people survive this kind of suppression?Liu Sheng suddenly thought of Cai Chengxiang's vicious methods when dealing with political opponents many years ago.

Liu Sheng gradually calmed down. He has done countless wicked things to get to where he is today, and he will never accept his fate just like that!

"There is no turning back when you open the bow!" Liu Sheng thought in his heart, now there is only one way to go to the dark, and he has completely become the emperor's pawn to check and balance Prime Minister Cai!
