Just when the people who had been promoted to family were at a loss what to do, Lu Zhi gave the answer.
Before she gave the answer, she went to a secret room, and no one knew what she did in it.
Everyone could only see her holding the fur ball and turning into a porcupine...
They were all pricked by needles and were dying.
"Tell them that on the other side of the sea, on the other side of the mountain, there is the fountain of immortality, the medicine of reincarnation."
She then said to Mao Qiu: "You have to make them believe it."
As she said this, she inserted a needle into the other person.
"Why did you change the needle?" Maoqiu didn't answer, but asked an irrelevant question.
"It's a bit tiring to insert the knife. People are lazy, and I am no exception." Lu Zhi said matter-of-factly.
Furball was silent.
Afterwards, the ruling and opposition parties became excited.
"I heard that there is a spring of immortality in the west!"
"It's fake. The pre-Qin Dynasty once organized sea expeditions to search for the elixir of immortality. It was useless to exhaust the people's resources. The elixir of immortality was not found, but it became one of the causes of Qin's demise."
"That's not necessarily true. This is what came from the palace. It is said that the Queen Mother has given her 300,000 taels to build a ship and go to sea. At the same time, she has sent a land caravan to attack both sides. She is now raising equity capital. If you say you are a shareholder, you will have a chance.
Get the fountain of youth."
"A noble person like the Queen Mother believes it, why don't you believe it?"
There was a lot of discussion among the scholars.
Those who had money and nowhere to spend it began to feel anxious.
It’s just that most people still feel it’s too ethereal and nihilistic.
Only a handful of old wealthy people tentatively invest in one share, which is better than nothing and just treat it as a thought.
If you lose money, you should be filial to the Queen Mother.
"It's a joke. Zi Buyu has strange powers and deranges the gods. This kind of nonsense has deceived many emperors and wise monarchs. I didn't expect that someone as shrewd and able to see through people's hearts as the Queen Mother would be fooled." The chief minister of the cabinet faced three people at home.
The son shook his head and said.
"What my father said is that the only thing people fear in life is death. The Queen Mother is so majestic that she naturally wants to live forever, which is understandable." The eldest son agreed.
"Where did this news come from? Since the news came out, it means it was groundless and there must be a reason." The second son was smarter and thought of another place.
"It must be those profit-seeking Westerners who found some random pills and used them as magic elixirs to deceive the Queen Mother. I have seen this kind of thing many times before. They used some white elephants as auspicious signs. These seemingly honest Westerners will
There are so many tricks to play with." The third son said disdainfully.
"What the third child said makes sense. Forget it. If the Queen Mother is obsessed with the theory of immortality, it would be a good thing. It would save the court trouble and catch up. Boss, if you take out a thousand taels of silver, we will treat it as our filial piety to the Queen Mother."
Said.
I don’t have much money, but I have attitude.
Anyone who objects to this kind of thing just doesn't want the Queen Mother to live forever.
Therefore, those who advised the emperor not to make elixirs in history would not reap the rewards.
You don't let me make elixirs, and you don't give me other ways to live forever. Do you want to see me die?
Then before I die, I will kill you first.
That's what the emperor had in mind.
So throughout history, there are few people who can persuade kings not to pursue immortality...
So what if he is as wise as Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty?
He was said to be the most wise master, broad-minded, and good at accepting advice. Wasn't he addicted to alchemy? In the end, he died of the elixir of longevity.
ridiculous.
As the first assistant, who came from second place in the rankings, he has a very clear understanding of that history.
So he won't give advice at all.
Whoever advises someone to die.
It turns out there really is an iron-headed baby.
A Zuo Yushi, who was born in the same class as Jinshi, said: "My minister Zuo Gang risked his own life to advise: Since ancient times, there has been no one who has obtained the elixir of immortality and lived forever, let alone anyone who has obtained the elixir of immortality and has been in the world for a long time..."
After reading the memorial on this man, the chief assistant felt that he was dead.
Others also persuaded the upright censor to withdraw.
It's not that they have good intentions, but they think that such an iron-headed baby should be reserved for critical moments. After all, the Queen Mother's eyes are too poisonous.
However, what was unexpected was that the Queen Mother did not kill him, but instead issued an edict:
"It was not possible in ancient times, but it may not be possible today. In ancient times, there were no large ships from overseas, but today there are. In ancient times, there was no such a large territory, but today there is."
"If you say no, then you go to sea and prove it to the Ai family."
"If you prove it, the Ai family will believe you."
Well, the Queen Mother played a trick that the ministers couldn't understand.
The Queen Mother seems certain that there are overseas ones.
Otherwise, how could you say such a thing?
With the honor of the Queen Mother, why is there any need to chat with a sixth-grade censor?
Just order him to be punished as "disrespectful".
The shrewd courtiers began to think that things were a little interesting.
Some people started to get excited.
Of course, there are still very few people taking action.
…………
The first fleet finally went to sea.
Time suddenly accelerated to three years later.
The fleet consisted of thirty ships when it went out, but when it came back there were only six ships. They were still in ruins and in dilapidated condition.
It makes people intimidated and makes people talk about it.
This is the reason why big landowners are reluctant to go to sea.
No one wants to go to the sea to make a living unless they are forced to a dead end.
"This isn't right. I remember that the previous dynasty also had large fleets sailing to the Western Ocean. It seems that the casualties were not so heavy?" The chief minister thought there was a clue to this.
It must have been drifted away, because as soon as we set out, several boats were secretly taken away to other places.
The reason why it cannot be transported by sea is that it is too easy to manipulate things on the sea and no one is watching.
"Because we are going to the ocean, and the previous one only sailed offshore. When we came to the farthest place of the previous one, the locals told us that the spring of immortality is in the deep sea, and we should go there to look for it," the boat owner said.
"Then have you found it?" the chief assistant asked quickly.
"This matter cannot be discussed. I can only tell the Queen Mother." The captain said mysteriously.
That night, a group of assassins broke into the middle of the moored fleet.
However, as soon as they entered, they were surrounded by many guards pouring out of the cabin. The front row were wearing leather armor and holding spears, while the back row were shirtless and holding heavy crossbows.
"The Queen Mother has long expected that someone is going to pick peaches, kill them for me!" A handsome guard commander wearing a red official robe pointed at the assassin with a knife.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Arrows rained down like rain, and assassins took to the streets one after another.
However, there was still an assassin who was shrewd enough to sneak onto the ship from another place while the group was being strangled. In a certain bottom cabin, he was lucky enough to get a bamboo tube of spring water, and then escaped from the sea while holding his breath.
…………
In a secret room of a manor somewhere.
A group of old and elderly people were looking at the blue spring water, looking at each other in confusion under the bright butter candles.
"Who dares to drink?"
"Find a servant to try?"
"No, the portion is too small. One sip will save one person. If it works after you try it, then you won't be a pariah for nothing. Who wants to be the one who can't drink?"
"Forget it, let me do it. Doctor Zhao said that I can live for three months, and I will die early and be reborn early." A decadent fat man who was too old to move said with difficulty.
Everyone thought for a while, poured out a mouthful, and handed it to each other's white beard with their own hands.
The old man drank it with difficulty, then his eyes turned white, he fell down and died on the spot.
"It's really fake!"
"This water is so poisonous!"
"Hedinghong is not that powerful!"
Everyone was shocked.
Fortunately, they were not deceived by the elixir of life, otherwise, wouldn’t their deaths have been in vain?
"What should I do with this water? Did I drop it?"
Immediately someone wanted to throw the bamboo tube down, but someone stopped him.
"Keep it, this kind of highly toxic, instant-acting medicine is also a rare treasure." Someone said with burning eyes.
Three days later, a strange news came. A wealthy family nearby gave birth to a baby boy.
When he was ecstatic, the little baby suddenly spoke and said that he was Wang Chui, a third-rank official in the imperial court who had already retired.
And he also clearly stated where his home is, who his wife is, who his son is, and how much fertile land his family has...
The wealthy family thought they encountered a monster and asked a Taoist priest to suppress it.
After hearing this, the group of senior staff and outsiders looked at each other in shock.
They sent dead soldiers again to steal the baby. After a conversation, they were overjoyed!
"So that's what happened! After eating it, you can avoid drinking Meng Po soup when you are reincarnated!"
"Sure enough, gods really exist, but the saints don't want to say it, for fear that people will only seek the afterlife and forget about this life."
"Great, let me take a second sip!"
Many senior staff took turns drinking the blue water without hesitation...and they all fell dead with smiles on their faces before they died.
The death of members of the public became a major unsolved case in the local area, which paralyzed many police officers... Until many years later, no one could solve it. Finally, it was solved by a young man named Gongsun. That is a story later.
Afterwards, many prodigies appeared in nearby places.
They can write eight-part essays at the age of three, they can take the exam to be a scholar at the age of six, and they can take the exam to be a scholar at the age of ten.
The examiner failed the exam because the examiner thought it was so young, so he would wait and give the opportunity to the older people first.
