"Duke of Wei, you are finally back!" Fang Xuanling said in a sigh.

"Why is Fang Shangshu so anxious?" Li Jing asked in confusion.

"This is not a place to speak. Please come with me, Duke Wei." Fang Xuanling said, bringing Li Jing back home.

When he arrived at the study, Fang Xuanling walked around the study with a serious face. Li Jing was deeply surprised to see Fang Xuanling with a frown. After all, the person who was much smaller than him in front of him has always been very calm, and even if the army approached the city, he would not change his face.

"Shangshu Fang has something to do, but he said it's okay. There are no outsiders here. I promise to leave your mouth and enter my ears, and no third person knows it."

"Of course I believe this, but I'm just thinking about where to start." Fang Xuanling nodded and said.

Li Jing didn't say anything, and quietly waited for Fang Xuanling to explain. After a while, Fang Xuanling sat down and looked at Li Jing and said, "Since His Majesty returned from the Western Regions, he has changed a little. He stayed with Pei Ji, Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng and others all day long, and even had not left the Imperial Heaven Supervision for many days."

"Is this... something unusual is there? Or is there something strange happening in the Tang Dynasty recently?" Li Jing frowned and asked.

"Not even, I've asked someone to investigate in detail. There has been no abnormal situation in the past few months." Fang Xuanling shook his head and replied.

"Shangshu Fang must have had the answer, so why not tell me directly." Li Jing thought about it and asked.

"I suspect that Your Majesty is fascinated by the practice of Taoism." Fang Xuanling said in a low voice.

"Practice Tao?" Li Jing was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "This is impossible. Although Your Majesty values ​​Taoism, he has already asked them to modify the doctrine. Even the Taoist system of gods and immortals is perfected by Your Majesty. How could he believe in Taoism?"

Seeing that Fang Xuanling was still serious, Li Jing couldn't help but smile and lowered his head to think, then raised his head and asked in horror: "Are you saying that Your Majesty wants to ask for immortality?"

Fang Xuanling did not answer, but just nodded heavily.

"How is this possible? Your Majesty is still so young. Even if you have these ideas, it will probably take 10 or 20 years later." Li Jing was silent for a moment before laughing.

"I also thought it was not the case, but Your Majesty kept checking the information from Qin Han and the previous ones, and even sent someone to check some things, especially the matter of the First Emperor." Fang Xuanling shook his head and said.

"Emperor First Emperor! Did Your Majesty go to Xianyang?" Li Jing asked in horror.

"No! No! How could Your Majesty start to alarm that person? He was just looking up some things. Many other ancient books also organized a large number of people to study. Inscriptions, inscriptions, and symbols carved in tortoise shells, rock walls, and caves made people look for them and rubbing them." Fang Xuanling shook his head and explained. He understood what Li Jing meant and thought that Zou Yu asked someone to dig the underground tomb. After all, it was not a big secret for them, but it was very dangerous. There was always no entry or exit. After all, there was no one guarding that place.

After the six countries united others and destroyed Qin, they naturally wanted to crush their biggest enemy and expelled them ashes, so they bewitched Xiang Yu and went to dig the graves. However, except for the loss of soldiers and generals, they found nothing, and they did not even enter the main road. In the end, they had to set fire to the outside world and leave with hatred.

"This is not surprising, right? Your Majesty has always attached great importance to inheritance. Haven't those ancient books been sorted out all the time?" Li Jing asked.

"This is different! In the past, His Majesty just asked others to sort it out, but this time he participated in it personally, and he also pulled Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng and others." Fang Xuanling emphasized in a more stressful tone.

"Who is responsible?" Li Jing saw Fang Xuanling's appearance and knew his character, so he couldn't help but become cautious.

"Pei Ji!" Fang Xuanling replied.

When Li Jing heard this name, he couldn't help but frown. After all, Pei Ji's reputation was not very good. Whether in Yang Guang or Li Yuan, many people thought he was a jester!

"Who else knows about this? Or did Shangshu Fang tell those people?" Li Jing asked again.

"I first told my father that after seeing His Majesty, my father stayed in the Imperial Heaven Prison and had not returned. He only brought back two words, so don't worry!"

When Li Jing heard this, he knew that there was still something else, so he didn't ask a question and continued to wait quietly for Fang Xuanling to continue.

"Then it was Pei Shiju and Pei Gong, and two queens, but neither of them received the answer from His Majesty. You also know that there is no way to ask about such a thing clearly." Fang Xuanling introduced.

Li Jing nodded and expressed his understanding. Although they had a good relationship with Zou Yu and had known each other for many years, if Zou Yu was pursuing immortality, they would not dare to ask openly.

As an emperor, there is nothing wrong with pursuing immortality. As long as the country is not messed up and the public is full of grievances, it is best for others to be unaware of it. You can persuade someone who is too stubborn, but others can say they can avoid it.

Many people have died for these things, especially Qin Emperor and Han Wu, who have killed the most. Therefore, Fang Xuanling has to be careful.

Of course, Li Jing had a headache, and never expected that such a situation would occur in less than half a year. You should know that Zou Yu had no sign of this in the past, let alone being addicted to it. Now the Tang Dynasty is at its peak, and it is the time when an unprecedented empire was established. How can such a thing not be in a hurry?

Li Jing and Zou Yu are both teachers and friends, and trust each other very much, so Li Jing is also looking forward to unifying the world. Even if he didn't lead the troops himself, or if he couldn't see that day, he also hoped that Zou Yu would really do it. After all, Zou Yu is still so young. There is still time.

Li Jing dared to say that there are many people who have doubts about this matter, but there are not many people who really dare to ask, especially the important officials who followed Zou Yu, who were all guarding outside.

"No wonder Your Majesty has not arranged anyone to welcome the army to return! Is it true that Shangshu Fang has not found any accurate information for so long? And Your Majesty should not hide it from you, right?" Li Jing asked.

"Your Majesty is a little fascinated. I once asked him once. Your Majesty just said that there is no king after Xia and Shang dynasties. Why is this?" Fang Xuanling said with a wry smile.

Of course he asked, and he asked directly, but Zou Yu was not in a state at that time and was obsessed with the thoughts, so he did not answer him clearly.

"Tomorrow, I will report the situation of the war and go to see Your Majesty in person, and ask directly for advice when the time comes." After a desperate thought, Li Jing said in a breath of strength.

"It's so good. You're back. I finally have someone to discuss it." Fang Xuanling said with a sigh.

Such things cannot be told to others, and some of them are stubborn and cannot be discussed. Even if there is really such a short time, they will support them and even think that they should, such as the Fang brothers.

Many of the others later surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. It was not that Fang Xuanling couldn't believe them, but that the matter was too big and could not be discussed. Now that Li Jing is back, there is finally someone sharing the burden, and he feels much more relaxed.

Especially in such a large country, everything is on him. Zhang Zhongjian, Qin Qiong, Su Dingfang, Liu Jin, Han Qianxun, and Liu Rengui are all outside. If there is a problem with the center, he really doesn't know how to explain to his old friends.
