The funeral of Emperor Chongde lasted for more than a month, and the entire palace looked a little bleak against the solemn white background.After Emperor Chongde was sent to the imperial mausoleum, the documents reported by various places were still approved by the cabinet members. Very important or urgent memorials were submitted to King Yong. Zhaoguo did not go to court for two months, and now the emperor has no new emperor. There is no way to carry out the court meeting after ascending the throne.It is said that the Empress Dowager imprisoned King Yong in the Temple of Sacrifice for three days because King Yong did not want to succeed to the throne.It is also strange to say that there are countless princes who want to ascend the throne in the past dynasties, and the special case of King Yong is really rare.

"Xuan'er, the fate of Zhaoguo is in your hands now. Whether you want to destroy it or rebuild it is up to you. The emperor's grandmother has said everything, so think about it carefully." The words of the empress dowager echoed in Lin Xuan's ears. After reverberating, Lin Xuan went out of the palace to relax in the spring light, as if there were invisible big hands pinching his whole body in the palace, he couldn't breathe.His woody face walked aimlessly among the crowd, and the golden sun shone on his body, giving him some warmth but not enough to melt his heart.Followed by Chang An and the commander of the imperial army, Lin Xuan felt a little tired and just wanted to let go without thinking about anything and taking responsibility for nothing.Every night after sealing the imperial mausoleum with his own hands, Lin Xuan dreamed that the imperial brother came to talk to him with a smile and asked him how he was doing.Every time he opened his mouth, Brother Huang disappeared immediately, and he searched like crazy. Whenever he saw Brother Huang not far away, he couldn't catch up.

"Hurry up, hurry up, go to the restaurant in front to watch the excitement! I heard that there is an expert who sells happiness, many people go to see it, and it will pay ten times the money if it is invalid! Many people bought it yesterday, and today it is here again!" Three The five hawkers yelled at each other to clean up their stalls and rushed forward quickly.

"Hmph..." Lin Xuan laughed disdainfully, with contempt in his heart, only fools would go.

"Go to Chang'an, where is the restaurant?"

The restaurant is not big and has been completely surrounded, the two managed to squeeze in after clearing the way for Lin Xuan, and only found out that the entrance fee was one or two taels of silver when they got to the door, no wonder many people just gathered around the door to watch the fun.When they entered the room, it was packed, and Lin Xuan and his party walked around for a while before finding a table in the back corner.Sit down and order some tea, the show seems to have started, and the gongs and drums sound.I saw a thin young man standing on the stage, although he was dressed in coarse clothes, he had an outstanding temperament and delicate features.Seeing Lin Xuan take a sip of tea, Chang An raised his eyebrows and picked up a piece of snack and put it in his mouth. He was already thankful in his heart, regardless of whether this scene was a lie or not, he made up his mind to give more rewards when it was over.The young man's voice was nice, and he said in a clear and precise way: "Everyone coming here objectively must have encountered difficulties in life. And the difficulties in the world are nothing more than two kinds of reluctance and reluctance. If you don't believe me, listen to me."

"There is a son in the family who does not live up to expectations and becomes ill. To put it bluntly, seeking it is a glorious family lintel. A beautiful woman can't sleep day and night, seeking happiness between two people. Some are bored in the official career, seeking prosperity. Besides, this is reluctant, There are brothers who are rebellious because of their family property, and they are reluctant to give up money, some lovesickness for a beautiful woman, and they are reluctant to give up love, and some are sad because of life and death, and they are also reluctant to give up love, everyone, do you think I am right?"

I saw a fat businessman in the ground shouting loudly: "Not necessarily! If I worry about too much money, why do you think it is?" The young man responded calmly, "This objective example is more correct. , your trouble is that you don’t want to let go of your money!” The audience roared with laughter and applauded the rare wit.The young man continued: "I don't know what kind of ability you think, people with the least troubles should be the most happy?"

"That must be rich!"

"Yes, yes, it's better to have power! Just having money is useless!"

"No one can control you, so do what you want!"

The people below chattered about it, and the young man smiled and said: "After listening to what you just said, it is nothing more than having money and power. In life, you should be a noble person. When it comes to noble people, according to your standards , the current emperor should be the happiest person. He has a big family property and has supreme power. No one can control him. He can do whatever he wants. But is the emperor really happy? We ordinary people speculate wildly, no one cares about the emperor hapiness."

"Why?" The lowly people asked in amazement.

"If I say that being an emperor is not happy at all, what do you think?" The young man looked slyly at a group of curious big eyes.

"Oh, it's not happy to be an emperor, how can we live?"

"That's right!"

"Look at you, you think that being an emperor should be happy, and that he should be happy because he has so much power. It is because he has so much power that sometimes he is not as easy to be happy as ordinary people. If you earn money today Will you be happy if you get 100 taels of silver? You will definitely be happy, but the emperor will not be happy if he has an extra 100 taels of silver today, and there will be less things to please the emperor. If you are bullied today and someone stands up for you, will you be happy? The emperor has the greatest power, and if he has something difficult to solve, it may be difficult to solve it with all the power in the world. Since the emperor will have troubles, it is even more common for us ordinary people to have troubles."

Chang An kept staring at Lin Xuan's face. He wanted to go to the stage to take down this nonsense and arrogant person and send him to the government, but Lin Xuan stopped him. "Chang An, don't you think what he said makes sense? I'd like to see what kind of medicine he sells in this gourd, and he puts so much effort into quoting from sources." Chang An was surprised that Lin Xuan picked up the second snack of the day and put it in his mouth. He was so absorbed Watching Lin Xuan chewing, it turned out that seeing people eating food would also have the urge to cry.

"Let's get down to business objectively, everyone. Today our master sells two kinds of items. The first one is a good medicine that treats the symptoms but not the root cause," said the young man, holding up a white porcelain bottle, and said with a smile, "Hehe, we have always been innocent, so what about this one? It is a miracle medicine that can make you happy for three days. After you buy it and drink it, you can continue to be in a good mood for three days. Of course, after three days, the things that make you worry are still there, so this is a good medicine that treats the symptoms but not the root cause. The price of the medicine is cheap. A bottle of silver is 50 taels, ten bottles will be sold today.” As soon as the words came out, the crowd was ebullient, 50 taels was a small amount enough for a well-to-do family’s expenses for a year, and the discussions among each other were extremely heated.

"Brother, bring me five bottles!" I didn't expect to sell one bottle so quickly, but the person who paid for the medicine was dressed like a housekeeper.Such a big deal was 250 taels all at once, and everyone watched suspiciously as he took out a bank note from his chest, "Don't look at me, I'll buy it for my master, he came to buy a bottle dubiously in God, and gave it to him. The old lady was happy after drinking it for three days, and then she let me come directly to buy medicine and go back."

"Ah? Is this really effective?!" Everyone ran out of curiosity after what he said.

The butler was surrounded by everyone helplessly and could only narrate, "The old lady in our house has passed away. This old woman is so sad that she can't sleep without food. Our master is a famous dutiful son. He is very anxious, but this heart disease needs to be healed." , but this old master has passed away and made the old man very embarrassed. God passed by here and bought a bottle back with suspicion. I thought that if it didn’t work, I would be a filial piety at that time. I didn’t expect that the old lady would be able to eat and sleep well that night after drinking the medicine. I feel that although I am sad, it is much better than before, so the master asked me to come here to buy it. Don’t say anything, brother, give me the medicine quickly, this is 250 taels of silver, and my master is still anxiously waiting at the mansion.”

"Your master is really a filial son. After you go home and take a bottle, take it at intervals of three days, and then take it for three more days each time. Let your master take the old woman out of the capital to go shopping more, the effect will be better."

"Okay, okay, write it down!" The housekeeper thanked again and again, put five bottles of medicine in a box and took them away.

"Everyone still has five bottles of medicine left. Whether there will be a show to sell after today depends on my master's mood. Maybe it's just a matter of wandering to other places." The boy asked with a smile as he put the banknotes in front of his chest.

After hearing the housekeeper's words, Chang An's eyes lit up with excitement. If Lin Xuan was not in front of him, he would immediately order the five bottles of magic medicine. "Master—" Chang An anxiously called out to Lin Xuan, fearing that the medicine would be snatched away by others if he didn't pay attention.

"Chang An, when did you believe this? You're just a charlatan." Lin Xuan drank tea calmly.Seeing Lin Xuan drinking tea in a calm manner, Chang An urgently asked, "My lord doesn't want to buy it, can Chang An buy it?"

Lin Xuan looked at Chang An in surprise, "Why did you buy it? Why is Eunuch Chang rich? You can buy it for 250 taels, and spend money like dirt." Chang An ignored Lin Xuan's teasing, and shouted: "Come... come... three bottles!" Everyone's eyes immediately looked over, yo!Another person who looks like a follower.Lin Xuan whispered: "Let me make it clear first, I will not lend you any money." Chang An took out a few bank notes with a bitter face, and looked pitifully at the commander of the Imperial Army behind him, "Commander Ding, you brought money Is it?" Dare Chang'an didn't bring enough money.

"Don't worry, I'll scrape together 50 taels for you anyway." The two big men silently raised the money behind Lin Xuan, and Chang An was so happy that he handed over the 150 taels to the boy on the stage, and returned to his seat holding three bottles of medicine. , as if he had picked up a big deal on his face.Lin Xuan didn't forget to pour cold water on her, "Chang An, how unhappy have you been recently, spending a lot of money to find pleasure? If the medicine doesn't work, wouldn't the money be wasted?"

Chang An hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "Such an expensive medicine is no good for slaves to enjoy. I just... just bought it and tried it. Don't you...don't you eat well, don't you sleep well..." Chang An secretly observed Lin Xuan's expression Nothing unusual, "If you don't spend money, how do you know if it's true or not? If it's true, you've got a bargain. If it's a fake son, Chang An will be happy for a while and it's worth 150 taels! Go back and see Wanqing and the doctor first." Medication." As he spoke, a warm smile appeared on Chang An's face.

Lin Xuan bit his lip and said nothing for a long time, "I won't pay for such a stupid thing."

The commander of the imperial army and Chang An hurriedly patted their chests and assured, "My lord, don't worry, we were the ones who were curious, we bought it, we bought it! It has nothing to do with you, your lord, and you didn't stop us from spending money."

There seemed to be a warm spring breeze blowing past his ears, Lin Xuan continued to stare at the young man on the stage in satisfaction to see what other tricks he had.The remaining two bottles of potion were quickly bought away. The young man cleared his throat and continued: "I just said that this is a medicine that treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Naturally, there are medicines that treat the symptoms and the root cause. Our master travels around and is dedicated to doing good things." I hope to use my own strength to solve your problems. Today, I have a chance to meet with my master. You can tell me what troubles you. As long as it is something that can be done by human beings, my master can plan for it. You need silver as a reward. Of course, after the event is completed, the reward depends on the size of the project. The specifics need to be discussed in detail after meeting the owner. There is a sign on each seat, which means participation. After that, my host will choose a predestined person to meet and help him Out of the woods."

Everyone in the underground started discussing after hearing it, it sounds like this deal is very cost-effective, and they are not afraid of being cheated if they receive a reward after the deal is completed.After the discussion, all the tables raised their cards one after another. Chang An was about to raise the cards on the table happily, but was frightened by Lin Xuan, "Why, can you two continue to give me another ten thousand taels of silver?"

"My lord, do you want to play something so big?" Chang An looked at him in horror. "Why does this young master look like a kid?" Lin Xuan cast a glance at him, but he is just a charlatan, and he will leave after a while.Chang An counted his possessions and said cruelly: "All the belongings of this servant are worth about 5000 taels. If you ask Commander Ding, Lord Hou should borrow some money to make up 1 taels." What did Commander Chang Anding do to you? He dragged himself into the water?

"Stop making trouble, and leave later." Lin Xuan said seriously.

There are so many people participating in this event. Lin Xuan counted and [-]% of the people raised their cards. I didn't expect that there are so many distressing things in this world.The young man smiled and knocked on the gong, "I can no longer raise cards and choose people from these tables." Suddenly, a red envelope shot in from the main hall and floated towards the young man without haste. Surprised.Lin Xuan thought, this mysterious master still has some tricks.

"Oh, I'll open it and have a look," the young man caught everyone's curiosity, and after reading the words in the envelope, his expression was very rich, "Oh, it turned out to be this old man wearing a blue crown, congratulations on meeting my master upstairs !” The old man who was selected was very excited, and was surrounded by four red-clothed teenagers and boarded the box on the second floor.Lin Xuan, on the other hand, became curious about the owner of the house, and quietly waved at them, preparing to leave the teahouse while taking advantage of the chaos.

"Young Master Xuanshan, please stop. My master said that I have a deep fate with you, so please show your face to me." The young man said loudly with joyful eyebrows.Lin Xuan looked at him to make sure that he was talking to him, hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you for your kindness, master, but I don't have any troubles, so why let someone plan it. Little brother, do you think this is the truth?"

"It's best if you don't have any worries, but my master is also good at telling stories. Recently, my master told a story that a long time ago, there were two sons in a family. The eldest son died suddenly due to illness, and the inheritance rights fell to the second son. , Later, the second son not only worked hard to expand the family business several times, but also found out the cause of the eldest son's death. I don't know if the son is interested in this story?"
