Chapter 44: The situation is compelling
Although Du Fuwei was rescued, the situation was still extremely serious for Qi King Li Yuanji.
Originally, Du Fuwei had swallowed many pills of unknown origin in the past few days and accumulated a large amount of residual poison in his body. However, this food poisoning immediately made matters worse, so he was so overwhelmed that he collapsed on the spot.
Fainted and still has no signs of waking up.
Tomorrow is the first day of April, which is the day of the new moon stipulated by the Tang Dynasty. Unless the weather is extremely bad, or there is an astronomical phenomenon such as a solar eclipse, all civil and military officials above the ninth rank in Beijing must attend the dynasty.
If King Wu, who was nominally the fourth most powerful person in the Tang Dynasty, did not appear in the court, Li Yuan would definitely ask why. After all, paper cannot cover the fire, and Li Yuanji had no way to hide it.
Fortunately, today happens to be a holiday, and the best thing among misfortunes is that King Wu of Qi, who was hosted by King Li Yuanji last night. Without this day's buffer time, even if Li Yuanji had the means, there would be nothing he could do.
However, time on this day is still very tight. According to Zhen Quan's many years of medical experience and diagnostic conclusions, Du Fuwei will be in coma for at least three days before he can wake up on his own.
Therefore, Qi King Li Yuanji asked Zhen Quan to find a way to let Du Fuwei wake up safely and early.
Just as Ju Guozhen and Li Yao experienced firsthand, the King of Qi was arrogant and domineering. When faced with such an urgent matter, there was no way for others to evade it. Zhen Quan racked his brains and only thought of one solution, which was not a good solution, and that was to directly
Use medicine to wake up.
The medicine is naturally a powerful medicine, and this kind of awakening potion is also extremely difficult to refine. Not only is the chance of failure very high, but the danger of the refining process is no less than that of alchemy.
Although Zhen Quan is good at medicine, proficient in herbal medicine, and is a famous acupuncture master in history, after all, he specializes in medicine. With his level of medicine refining, it is difficult for him to successfully refine the required medicine in just one day.
drug.
And this was the only reason why King Qi hurried to Zongshenguan to "visit" Ju Guozhen as soon as the gates of Chang'an City were opened.
Hearing this, Li Yao couldn't help but be a little curious. Who is the mastermind behind the death of King Wu Li Fuwei? Is the murderer someone from other forces hiding in the Prince of Qi's Mansion? Why did he choose to attack the King of Wu in the Prince of Qi's Mansion?
How did they succeed in the heavily guarded Prince Qi's Mansion? Where did the alchemists who were driven out of Prince Wu's Mansion by Emperor Li Yuan come from? Is it possible that they were manipulated and instigated by others? If King Wu dies, who will benefit the most?
And who was hit the hardest...
However, Li Yao now has no time and effort to think and analyze the many questions in his mind, because Ju Guozhen handed the note into her hand: "You can take a look first."
This is a prescription without a name, but it says cinnabar, saltpeter, sulfur, realgar, bezoar, horn powder, pearl powder, musk, coptis, skullcap, gardenia, turmeric, borneol, mica...
Mica! Li Yao's eyelids jumped when he saw these two words, and he immediately remembered the record about Du Fuwei's death in "New Book of Tang": The bait mica was poisoned and died violently!
However, Du Fuwei died in February next year, so it probably has nothing to do with the medicine he made this time...
Seeing Li Yao pondering, Ju Guozhen couldn't help but frown, and asked hurriedly: "Is there anything you don't know about this prescription?"
"No." Li Yao shook his head and replied with a serious expression: "The disciple just feels that this kind of tiger and wolf medicine is too strong, and its toxicity is enough to kill a baby immediately. I am a little worried about whether King Wu can withstand it."
Zhen Quan on the side heard this, sighed slightly, and said slowly: "You have all seen King Qi's temper, but you have not yet experienced King Qi's methods, but I saw it with my own eyes last night...
…Looking back now, I still have lingering fears. I have been practicing medicine for decades and have always been very cautious. When did I ever prescribe such strong medicine to people? There is nothing I can do about it.”
Ju Guozhen stroked his beard and said to Li Yao seriously: "Right now we can only think about how to refine this medicine within the specified time limit so that we can report it to the King of Qi. Don't think too much about other things."
Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Ju Guozhen stopped wasting time and called two brothers, Zhong Kui and Jing Yun, in, and the five of them worked together to sort out the materials provided by King Qi in advance.
After some inspection and selection, they found that most of the materials were fine, but it happened that the mica that Li Yao was most worried about did not meet the requirements for refining medicine.
Because of King Qi's tough attitude and persecution, Zhen Quan wrote this prescription in an extremely restless mood, so there are inevitably some omissions.
The "mica" that should have been used was "muscovite", but because Zhen Quan wrote the word "white" less, King Qi and his men took it for granted that it was "phlogopite" which was more commonly used in making elixirs.
However, for the alchemist Ju Guozhen, any problem with the materials for refining medicine is not a problem. He only hesitated for a moment and then told his disciple Zhong Kui: "Zhengnan, go to the second floor to get half a liang of white clouds."
Mom, just take the one you just brought back from Jinchuan Prefecture, and take the two taels of Panax notoginseng you brought back from Yao Prefecture for other uses, so don’t take the wrong one."
Zhong Kui responded, strode up to the second floor, and came back soon. When Ju Guozhen took the box of materials, Li Yao suspected that he was dazzled, because her master's hands were indifferent, but there was a flash of light on his face.
Although he had a look of extreme pain, Ju Guozhen still poured out the mica from the box, inspected it carefully, and asked Jingyun to take it to be washed and processed.
Because Zhen Quan believes that this medicine is not easy to refine, even if it is refined by Ju Guozhen, the best alchemist in Guanzhong, it will probably undergo many failures before it succeeds. Upon hearing this, King Li Yuanji of Qi came to the hospital early in the morning.
They sent people to stir up chaos in a medicine shop in Chang'an West City, and collected enough materials to refine dozens of copies of the medicine in one go. In fact, each material needed to refine the medicine only cost a few dollars, so all the materials were
After everything was taken care of, they still had to do the weighing and proportioning work, and they were busy like this for a while.
When everything was ready, Ju Guozhen lit the alchemy stove, and then took the initiative to step aside. Li Yao immediately stepped forward and knelt down in front of the alchemy furnace. After listening carefully to Ju Guozhen's instructions, he compared the prescriptions carefully.
Start adding materials to the furnace.
When Zhen Quan saw this situation, his kind and kind face immediately changed, and his face was full of panic.
Shouldn't the master be in charge of the alchemy furnace, and the apprentice should be sitting next to him holding the medicine? The scene in front of us is simply weird!
He originally wanted to observe the alchemy techniques of Ju Guozhen, a famous alchemist in Guanzhong, but he never thought that it would be refined by this female crown. Although Ju Guozhen praised his disciple's alchemy skills, no matter how good they were,
It is impossible to be stronger than Master who is the number one person in Louguan Taoist alchemy technique and goes into battle on his own!
So, Zhen Quan pondered for a moment, then sat down next to Ju Guozhen, with an old face and a low voice: "Master Ju, are you planning to take the test against the disciples at this time? You should also know.
