Chapter 140: A Blockbuster

Chapter 140 A blockbuster

Counting the prey at noon, Prince Consort Zheng didn't shoot a single arrow, but he caught the most.

The suspicion of cheating is too great.

But the purpose of Chunsou was to make his sister happy, so the emperor had no choice but to turn a blind eye and give the jackpot to Zheng Xiao.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Xiao was very honest and exposed the fact that someone else had stuffed the prey into his basket, which made the princess very embarrassed.

The emperor also felt a little unable to step down.

Fortunately, Xiao Shen later made some changes and finally awarded the lottery prize to Zheng Xiao.

In the afternoon there is a polo match.

Everyone rushed to give the ball to Zheng Xiao, but Zheng Xiao was so clumsy that he scored the ball into his own goal.

In order for him to win, others had to score the ball into their own goal.

The game was so disappointing that the emperor couldn't stand it any longer, so he took his new queen with him on horseback to catch rabbits.

The little Empress Shen was afraid that the cold would hurt Princess Nandu and her wife, so she pulled out the phoenix hairpin on her head to make a lottery head, and ordered dozens of rabbits with red ribbons tied around their necks to be released in the paddock. A man and a woman teamed up to catch them with their bare hands. The one who catches the most will be the leader.

In this spring time, small games like this are undoubtedly the most popular.

At this time, something magical happened.

Zheng Xiao, who originally couldn't catch a single prey, actually caught the most.

It can even be said that those rabbits threw themselves into Zheng Xiao's trap on their own initiative.

Princess Nandu won the lottery and smiled happily.

The emperor asked Zheng Xiao suspiciously, "How did you do it?"

Zheng Xiao said proudly: "I followed Huang Lao's approach and caught a few rabbits. It is really a small skill. Even an eagle flying in the sky will land on my arm obediently when I wave my hand."

The emperor didn't believe it.

After a moment, a white crane flew overhead.

The emperor then asked him to catch the crane.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Xiao waved and shouted a few times, and Bai He actually fell into his arms.

Everyone was astonished and shouted: "How amazing!"

Later, Zheng Xiao attracted butterflies and gave them to the princess, which made the princess feel as happy as a deer.

From then on, the emperor looked at Zheng Xiao with admiration and often called him into the palace to relieve his boredom.

The relationship between uncle Lang and uncle is getting closer day by day.

The relationship between Princess Nandu and the emperor also became closer.

The epidemic in Gyeonggi Province at the beginning of the year has not been able to dissipate, and it has intensified in mid-to-late April.

Thousands of old people, children, and infirm people died from the disease.

Zheng Xiao said that this was an epidemic caused by excessive killings in the capital in recent years and the resentment lingering in the world. It was necessary to build an altar, pray to God, and find a sage to resolve the epidemic.

The emperor was afraid that the epidemic would cause turmoil in the country again, so he built an altar in the east of the city according to Zheng Xiao's instructions, fasted and bathed, and then went to the altar to pray.

After praying for three days, the situation finally changed, and a man appeared in the vast sea of ​​people, claiming to have a way to eliminate the epidemic.

This man, with fluttering clothes, handsome and handsome, has a cool demeanor. Half of the people in the capital know his name. He is none other than Li Ming, a famous doctor in Jixiang Lane.

Li Ming brought some medicinal materials, asked for a few roots of the emperor's dragon whiskers to be used as medicine starters, cooked the medicine in public, and then fed it to the old and young people who were infected.

In less than a cup of tea, their symptoms were relieved. An hour later, they were even more energetic, talking as usual, their noses were clear, and their coughing and asthma symptoms had completely disappeared.

The emperor was shocked and asked Li Ming: "Why is your medicine so effective?"

Li Ming replied: "The common people use only ordinary herbs. Ordinary doctors and even people who are seriously exposed to medicinal herbs know this. The reason why it has such miraculous effects is entirely due to the sincerity of the emperor."

"So, you mean it's my beard that really works? How is that possible?"

Seeing that the emperor didn't believe it, Li Ming used the same medicinal materials to supplement the medicine in front of him, except that he didn't add the medicine introduction. As a result, the patients after taking the medicine felt that the effect was not as good as before.

The onlookers were all amazed.

Even if the emperor's beard can be used as an introduction to medicine, how can one person's small beard be enough to save so many people when the epidemic is raging in Gyeonggi Province?

Zheng Xiao and Li Ming sang and drank, linking the current epidemic with several mass killings in the imperial court in recent years.

It is said that the only way to resolve the epidemic is to use the body hair and skin of the relevant royal family members as medicine.

Hundreds of thousands of people in the capital fell to the ground and begged.

The emperor was riding a tiger and couldn't get off. For the sake of the country and the throne, he had no choice but to show his generosity.

All members of the orthodox royal family, except Changsun Ji who was lying on the sick bed, had their hair cut off and their beards cut off to be used as medicine primers.

Soon, the epidemic in the capital area dissipated at an eye-catching speed.

Zheng Xiao began to show off Huang Laozhi's theory again, saying that this was God's grace and that the royal family needed to lead the royal family's children to the altar to thank God for his grace.

If it can be sunny for three consecutive days, the disaster will be over.

Miraculously, it rained for two consecutive days before going to the altar, but after going to the altar it was sunny for five consecutive days.

In the huge capital city, except for the Hedong County Prince's Mansion, not a single cough could be heard anywhere.

However, Changsunji was known to be sick, and he did not lose his hair or beard because of this, so everyone thought it was normal for him to cough.

Not only did this not expose Zheng Xiao’s myth, but it proved the reliability of his words from another direction.

Who is the sage who can save the epidemic?

Some people say it is Li Ming, but more people think it is Zheng Xiao.

A joke he made on the night of his wedding to Princess Nandu: After ten years of silence, he will become a blockbuster.

spread like wildfire.

The emperor, officials, and even the people in the capital all praised Zheng Xiao very much.
