Your Majesty, please draw the card

The emperor has not attended the morning court for ten days.The news from the palace was that the emperor's dragon body was slightly ill and caught the wind and cold, but basically all the ministers with some connections knew that the emperor had been assassinated, and he was also poisoned.Seeing that it was New Year's Eve, and the court meeting was about to end, everyone was most concerned about whether the little emperor, who had succeeded to the throne for less than a year, could survive the New Year.

At this moment, the palace gates were locked tightly, and no one except the emperor's confidants could enter and leave the harem at will.And the emperor's confidantes were all expressionless, showing neither sadness nor joy, and it became an impossible task to learn about the emperor's situation from them.

On December [-]th, two Dukes of the Cao family suddenly appeared in the book to play Zuo Prime Minister Zhao Wenshan's murder of the emperor's father. For the first time, the assassination of the emperor was brought to the fore.Even if the Dali Temple had frequent activities before, it was acting according to the emperor's secret decree, and the ministers did not know the content of the decree.The Cao family's desperation, the eagerness to tear Zhao Wenshan alive, seemed to reveal a disturbing prelude.You must know that the emperor has been served by Eunuch Mi these few days, and Eunuch Mi has a close relationship with the Cao family.If anyone could know the emperor's physical condition first, it would probably be the Cao family.However, the Cao family's one-sided words will definitely not bring down Zhao Wenshan, but Prime Minister Zuo still refused to go to court in order to avoid suspicion, and temporarily withdrew from the center of the vortex.

On December [-]th, an unplanned court meeting was added, but no one dared to raise any objections to the holding of this court meeting.The reason is simple, the emperor was seriously ill, and the empress dowager announced that she was coming to court!This also marks that the entire government has temporarily fallen into the hands of Wang's relatives.It was also in this court meeting that someone proposed to establish the crown prince first.Prime Minister You Wang Ting rejected this proposal on the grounds that the New Year is approaching, and any matter should be left until the New Year to discuss.

“What a new year is coming!”

Liu Xi laughed so hard that he coughed, he was annoyed.

Liu Xi originally thought that Wang Ting's scheming would not reveal his ambition so early.Gao Lishi had reminded him that the empress dowager might want to come to court, but since he had been "skipping work" for so long, it was understandable for the empress dowager to do so for the sake of stabilizing the situation.However, the reason for refusing to establish a reserve can be that the emperor is young, or it can be anything else, but "save it until the New Year to discuss"?Isn't Wang Ting's subtext that there may be a new person on the dragon chair in the new year?Do you want to be in such a hurry?Obviously suppressing this matter, waiting for the emperor to die suddenly and then establishing a crown prince will make him more loyal to the king and patriotic, right?So Wang Ting is still too excited, probably because he thinks that there will be a situation that is more beneficial to the Wang family soon!

"Your majesty..." Zhao Yun patted the emperor's back lightly, comforting him.

Mi Tuan sneaked out to report to Cao's family during the spare time they arranged, and only Zhao Yun stayed with the emperor.In another half an hour, Zhang Dequan will come to pick up Mi Tuan's class. Only at this time can the emperor sit up, relax his muscles and bones, and listen to some latest developments.Although the emperor has been pretending to be weak these days, his condition is indeed not good.He had eaten two of the life-sustaining pills, and Zhao Yun didn't dare to think about what would happen if he couldn't find the antidote before the third pill's effect was exhausted.

Could it be that heaven is really jealous of talents and wants to let this respectable and lovely boy pass away early?

impossible!Impossible!

Zhao Yun couldn't accept this possibility emotionally.

The emperor is a Mingjun chosen by the gods, how can he die here?If he died, he wouldn't even have the chance to apologize, and he would go back to the Hall of Fame directly. Such a result should never have happened anyway!

As if realizing the deep anxiety in Zhao Yun's eyes, Liu Xi patted Zhao Yun's arm: "Zilong, life and death are destiny, wealth is in the sky, you don't have to be too persistent, but it's a pity that you didn't get Xiao Qiao..."

Liu Xi originally wanted to make Zhao Yun smile, but he didn't expect his idol's complexion to be infinitely pale all of a sudden, so he coughed seriously and said, "Zilong, I have something to say."

Zhao Yun bowed his head: "If the emperor has anything to do, just ask."

"It's all here, it's useless not to make some preparations. The courtiers are right, I should prepare for the worst. Pass the decree for me, Xuan Hengyang King Liu Duan will come to Chang'an to see me."

Zhao Yun's expression changed suddenly upon hearing this: "Your Majesty!"

Liu Xi firmly held Zhao Yun's palm to prevent him from retorting: "Liu Duan is five years older than me, and he has few virtuous names. It is said that his intelligence is no less than mine. No foundation! Zilong, do you understand my intentions?"

Hengyang King Liu Duan, like Zhongshan King Liu Jing, was Liu Xi's uncle and half brother of the late Emperor.Because Liu Duan was relatively low in the ranking, he withdrew from the competition for the reserve position very early, and happily went to the fief as an adult.Liu Duan is already 20 years old, not an age that can be controlled casually, and he has no influence from his relatives. Looking at the royal family, he is the only one who has the opportunity to govern Dayan without being influenced by his relatives after Liu Xi.Liu Xi didn't want to die, but even more he didn't want his throne to fall into the hands of those who were not good for Dayan after he died!

Although the throne was obtained through time travel, at least I worked hard for it for half a year, didn't I?

After all, Zhao Yun still couldn't hold back Liu Xi, so he could only accept his orders and leave.

Soon after, the emperor summoned Liu Duan, King of Hengyang, to meet him. The news was like a death knell ringing in the hearts of every courtier!

This is undoubtedly the emperor's arrangement for the funeral.Now the focus of private discussion among the ministers is whether Liu Duan, the king of Hengyang, is suitable to be emperor, and whether he needs to establish a new emperor after the emperor's death.

Since Liu Duan's fief is far away from Chang'an, he was already on his way to attend the Great Court Meeting at this time.He planned to walk slowly along the way, taking his newly born first child to experience the atmosphere of the folk New Year.As a relatively unimportant prince, Liu Duan's life is actually not very luxurious, and there are relatively few restrictions, which makes him better understand the people's livelihood.He knew that as long as he didn't make any big mistakes in his life, he would probably be able to pass it by so peacefully, which was much better than the days in the palace when he was young.However, an imperial edict suddenly changed his fate.Hearing the content of the imperial decree, Liu Duan was terrified and uneasy, and really couldn't figure out why the emperor suddenly wanted to summon him.

Liu Duan, the father-in-law who delivered the letter, knew that it was Zhang Dequan who had served in the palace since the time of the first emperor, Zhang Dequan, and was his elder brother's most trusted servant.He wanted to say a few words to Eunuch Zhang, but the other party obviously didn't intend to have too much contact with him, so he hurriedly delivered the imperial decree, said that he would return to Chang'an with him, and left.On the contrary, the two young eunuchs who were following Eunuch Zhang looked at him very earnestly, and one of them secretly told him that it was a good thing, so don't worry.

Is it a good thing that the emperor wants to see him?

Liu Duan settled down, and felt that he had no intention of seeking to usurp the throne, and secondly, he was not dominating the fief, so he probably didn't need to be so nervous.He ordered to set off immediately, held his awakened son in his arms, prayed to God and worshiped Buddha in his heart, and got into the carriage.

At the moment in Weiyang Palace, Liu Xi is enjoying the highest treatment since he crossed.Everyone around him treated him like a porcelain doll, and even Eunuch Gao became impatient and asked Mi Tuan to be Cao's eyes and ears, and took care of his basic necessities by himself.It was the first time that Liu Xi knew that when Eunuch Gao really wanted to take care of someone in a pleasant manner, he could actually make people feel so flattered and blissful.

This day is New Year's Eve. According to the usual practice, the state banquet should be held first and then the family banquet, but this time, no one dared to risk the world's disgrace by proposing to have a banquet and drink, as if all the senior managers of Dayan had forgotten by coincidence. It's about Chinese New Year.

Liu Xi once ordered Bao Zheng to secretly investigate Zhongshan King Liu Jing, and now he has a lot of evidence in his hands.The relationship between King Zhongshan and Prime Minister You is still confusing, but along the line of King Zhongshan, two vassal kings have been involved. It seems that there is more than one person who wants Liu Xi to die.After all, Gao Lishi couldn't hold back anymore, and secretly arrested a confidant of King Zhongshan.It's a pity that the result of the question is still disappointing. King Zhongshan has no antidote in his hand, and King Zhongshan is worrying while waiting for the emperor Longyu to die!If it weren't for the consideration that this follower might still be useful, Gao Lishi would have liked to feed him to the dogs.

Even at this time, Liu Xi still didn't do anything, he was still very calm.He had already eaten the third life-sustaining pill early this morning, and was waiting for Hengyang King Liu Duan to arrive.If King Hengyang can entrust him, then before he dies, he will definitely eradicate the power of King Zhongshan and Prime Minister You, and create a good situation for Liu Duan.If King Hengyang is a dou who cannot be supported, then he has to find another way. At that time, killing King Zhongshan is not as good as letting them check and balance each other.

"Hey……"

This is really a tragedy caused by stretching your head!Liu Xi sighed, if there is regret medicine in the world, he would be the first to buy ten catties!Why was he able to happily stick his head out to be assassinated in the first place?

The more Liu Xi thought about it, the more he felt that he was too aggrieved by time travel.They also bring their own golden fingers, but it seems that their own golden fingers are only used to take a look at the male god?I really don't know if it's the washing utensils or the cup utensils.It is obvious that the ability to plan is equal to minus five, and the funeral has to be arranged according to the experience gained in the Liu family in the previous life, it is simply hard to describe...

Liu Xi raised his eyes and saw Zhao Yun approaching with a tray, and couldn't help but be suspicious: "Is it time to flip the sign again? Why are you here to get it today? Where did Gao Lishi go?"

"Gao Gonggong went to interrogate the few Xiqiang people who were caught." Zhao Yun shook his head helplessly.

In order to investigate the assassination of the emperor, all the Xiqiang people in Chang'an City were unlucky.Everyone, without exception, underwent strict interrogation and was not allowed to leave at will. Under such strict inspection, several spies sent by Xiqiang were actually caught last night.These people probably had nothing to do with the assassination of the emperor, but Gao Lishi wanted to use a dead horse as a living horse doctor, so he tortured them, who said that the poison in the emperor came from Xiqiang?

"Your Majesty, let's flop!" Zhao Yun reached out and touched Liu Xi's head. Liu Xi's hair was as smooth as it looked. He secretly made up his mind that such a young and promising emperor should not die young, even if The price is your own life.

At this moment, Zhao Yun's expression showed a firmness, which Liu Xi couldn't quite understand.He stretched out his hand to the jade tablet, but noticed that the jade tablet beside it was glowing.Liu Xi picked up the jade plate, Zhao Yun's expression froze.

Why is "Current Activity" on again?

I'm about to hang up the system, you still have the nerve to engage in activities!

"Event 1000: One life for one life. Zhao Yun is willing to exchange his own life for your life. The next time you draw a card, you can consume Zhao Yun's ten years of life and increase the acquisition rate of famous doctor cards and detoxification potion cards by [-]%. The event will last for five days. Reduced lifespan during activity is permanent and irreversible."

Liu Xi was stunned.

What is Zhao Yun's lifespan?It seems that he was seventy years old and beheaded five Xiliang soldiers?That is to say, a long life?No, no, the important thing is, even if he lives so long, he can only support this event for five days!Is it worth it to bet your life just to increase the probability of drawing a card?

Liu Xi's mind was completely confused.It's not that he's not afraid of death, but it's like exchanging one life for another, and the other party is his idol in his previous life, and someone very close to him in this life, no matter how he thinks about it...

I can't figure it out at all!

"Zilong, why are you doing this?" The emperor's voice involuntarily carried a little trill.

Zhao Yun said with a faint smile: "A scholar will die for his confidant!"

The author has something to say: explain the card activity to everyone.As long as the card activities are not mandatory, you can participate or not. Just like the Lu Su event last time, the emperor can choose to spend 10 taels a day to draw Lu Su with a high probability, or he can draw cards normally without spending money .The cooling time for card drawing is one day, that is, one card can be drawn every day, and it is also possible to give up without drawing.

It is estimated that everyone can see that the total number of cards is very large, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it covers everything.Therefore, the number of miracle doctor cards and antidote cards in all cards is very small, and it is estimated that it is less than 1%.So in this event, the probability has increased by 1000%, but in fact it has only increased to about 10%.During the event, every time you draw a card, you will reduce Zhao Yun's lifespan by ten years in exchange for a higher probability of getting the desired card.Because Zhao Yun's lifespan can only last five days, the duration of the activity is five days.

The lifespan of a card is a hidden attribute, which is the longest usage time of the card when it is in good health.Once a card is summoned, it will experience life, old age, sickness and death with the summoner, and all cards will return to the Hall of Fame when the summoner dies.Once the life of the card is used up, the card will also die, and only special methods can revive it.In this event, the life span deducted by Zhao Yun is permanent, that is to say, it cannot be replenished by any props.If Xiaoxi smokes five days in a row, Zhao Yun's life span will be deducted by 50 years, and if the rest is assumed to be five years, he will return to the Hall of Fame after five years.And the next time, when other people use the card, Zhao Yun can only exist for more than five years after being summoned (plus the time since Xiaoxi drew Zhao Yun).

To sum up, although the name of the event is One Life for One Life, it is actually a permanent reduction in lifespan in exchange for an increase in the probability of drawing a specific card. There is no other way, and it is not particularly cost-effective. )_
