Wang Can went all out and returned from the camp next to the river. In fact, he had returned to Luoyang without even spending an hour. However, Wang Can did not enter the palace immediately. Instead, he went to Mai Tiezhang.
Go to the house. After all, there is still a good relationship between Wang Can and Mai Tiezhang.
As Wang Can was the imperial advisor of the dynasty, he came to visit him personally. Mai Tiezhang did not dare to delay and went to the gate to greet him in person. With a smile on his face, Mai Tiezhang said: "The imperial advisor's visit to the humble house makes the humble house flourish."
Hui. Imperial Master, please come inside."
"please!"
Wang Can said.
The two of them walked straight into the hall, one behind the other.
In the hall, the guests and hosts were seated.
With a bright smile on Mai Tiezhang's face, he said: "The Imperial Master came to the house at some time. What's the important matter?"
Wang Can said: "I came to visit General Mai because I just received the news that the emperor has recruited a group of alchemists to enter the palace. Because I have been dealing with the excavation of canals on the river and do not understand the situation in the DPRK, so I specially
Ask General Mai."
"well……"
When Mai Tiezhang heard this, he sighed.
As a general who once obeyed Wang Can's orders, he knew Wang Can's character. In particular, judging from Wang Can's many deeds, Wang Can was indeed dedicated to governing the government and reversing the decadent situation of the Sui Dynasty. Especially during the Sui Dynasty.
Under Wang Can's governance, things have gotten better and better, and many of Shen Ke's old illnesses have recovered.
Everything started to flourish.
All this is due to Wang Can.
So in front of Wang Can, Mai Tiezhang never told a lie, but instead sighed, feeling helpless.
Wang Can said: "General Mai, it doesn't matter if you say it."
Mai Tiezhang said sternly: "Reporting to the Imperial Master, this group of alchemists are specially made to make elixirs for the emperor. The elixirs they refined are said to increase one's power and bring people closer to the immortal way. The emperor was hesitant at first.
But after taking their elixirs, they were brought into the palace. From then on, the emperor was still completely addicted to elixir refining."
After a pause, Mai Tiezhang said: "If it's just the emperor refining the elixir, then that's it. In fact, it's not a big deal worth writing about. But the problem is, as the elixir refining progresses, the amount of elixirs consumed will be reduced.
There is more and more money, and we can no longer supply it.”
"It is said that only a small part of the money was actually used for alchemy. In fact, most of the money was swallowed up by these alchemists."
"However, the emperor was not aware of this at all. On the contrary, he still trusted them. Under this premise, there is no solution and no one dares to go and advise."
"Because most of the people who went to dissuade him were executed."
Mai Tiezhang's face was full of helplessness.
Originally, the Great Sui Dynasty was already prosperous and everyone was clamoring for good development. But now, things suddenly changed and were messed up by a group of alchemists.
This made Mai Tiezhang feel extremely disappointed.
Unfortunately, not even the emperor could see him.
Wang Can sneered. He really didn't expect that the emperor would make such a mistake. He would trust sorcerers so easily that he would even ignore the courtiers and deal with those who dissuaded him.
Wang Can said: "It seems that these days when I am not in court have given these people an opportunity to take advantage of. If this is the case, then deal with all these rats."
Mai Tiezhang said excitedly: "Just wait until the Imperial Master comes back."
When the officials in the court saw Wang Can's actions, they already had great admiration for Wang Can as a national advisor. They had no idea that Wang Can was a national advisor.
Because every move Wang Can made was for the Sui Dynasty.
Especially under Wang Can's governance, the Sui Dynasty's national power flourished. The local damage caused by Yang Guang's profligate spending in recent years is now being restored bit by bit.
But now, there are signs of something wrong appearing again.
Yang Guang believed the alchemist gullibly.
And countless amounts of money were consumed every day. If this continued, even the powerful Sui Dynasty would not be able to withstand the consumption. Especially Yang Guang was addicted to alchemy, did not see the courtiers, and imposed severe punishments on the courtiers who advised him.
All this worried the courtiers.
Wang Can ordered: "General, please go and contact the ministers in the court. Tomorrow morning, during the court meeting, our master will deal with these filthy people. A group of villains, through the art of alchemy, will do what they want.
It is absolutely impossible to disrupt the imperial court."
Mai Tiezhang said: "Mai Tiezhang must obey the instructions of the Imperial Master. However, the emperor is not the one presiding over the current court meeting. It is these alchemists who pass the message on his behalf. The emperor has not been in court for some time."
Wang Can said: "It doesn't matter, it won't affect the situation."
"yes!"
Mai Tiezhang responded happily.
Wang Can stood up and said: "General Mai, you still have your wife and children at home, so I will stay here soon. General, take your leave!"
Mai Tiezhang said: "I will send the Imperial Master!"
He immediately stood up to see him off.
Wang Can walked out of Mai's house and returned to his own house. Now Wang Can's children are also very good-looking. Even because of Wang Can's treatment, the children can giggle and are chubby and very cute.
It makes people happy.
Wang Can had nothing to do for the time being, so he just played with the children.
However, the news that he returned to Luoyang spread quickly, and some important officials in the imperial court came to pay their respects. Because Wang Can was the national advisor of the Sui Dynasty and was in charge of military and government affairs. Now the imperial court was in chaos, so everyone in the group had to go there.
Seek justice from Wang Can, let Wang Can solve the current problem and avoid further turmoil in the court.
Wang Can naturally did not reject anyone who came and received them one by one.
When Wang Can met with important officials in the court, the news leaked and reached the palace.
Now in the palace, not only Yang Guang is there, but also the alchemists who are responsible for refining elixirs for Yang Guang. There are six of these alchemists. The leader is named Qingyunzi, who is in his early forties and has an immortal spirit.
The air of dust.
The other five people are Qingyunzi's junior brothers and disciples.
Qingyunzi looked around at the five people around him and said: "Just now, I got the news that Wang Can is back. This Wang Can was appointed as a national advisor by the emperor, taking charge of military and government affairs. Once he comes back, he will definitely take action against us.
"
"People outside are spreading evil rumors about Wang Can."
"We said that he could fly across the sky, and that he could split mountains and split mountains. Even the emperor had a look of reverence when he mentioned Wang Can. Our insinuations and slanders are of no use at all."
"Our only advantage is that we now control the court."
"If the emperor does not go to court and we convey orders on his behalf, then we can abolish Wang Can and take over all the military and government affairs of the court. By then, we will be the masters of the Sui Dynasty."
Qingyunzi continued: "Especially when Wang Can came back today, he did not come to see the emperor. Instead, he kept meeting with officials from the court. It is obvious that Wang Can has a conspiracy and intends to subvert us."
"Master, Wang Can is nothing to be afraid of."
In the crowd, a young man in his early twenties spoke.
He is a disciple of Qingyunzi.
The Taoist name comes from Chenzi.
Chuchenzi had a serious look on his face and said in a deep voice: "Under the current circumstances, why should we be afraid of Wang Can! Master, in my opinion, tomorrow is the day of the court meeting. By then, we will capture Wang Can."
Qingyunzi said: "Of course we have to do this, but under the current conditions, even if we want to deal with Wang Can, we need the emperor's consent. When Wang Can returned to Luoyang, he did not come to see the emperor. Instead, he met in private.
Each of the courtiers, this is Wang Can’s fatal weakness. This is the breakthrough point for us to kill Wang Can.”
Chuchenzi said: "Master is wise!"
After a pause, Chuchenzi said: "Master, since we have to deal with Wang Can, should we go to see the emperor today first and obtain the imperial edict to deal with Wang Can from the emperor's hands?"
"No!"
Qingyunzi shook his head and said: "The emperor still has great trust in Wang Can. What we have to do is to tell the emperor about Wang Can's absence from the emperor first, let the emperor know, and make the emperor understand. Tomorrow in the court, attack first and win directly
Wang Can, let's kill him first and then tell him. As long as Wang Can is dead, the emperor will have nothing to say."
"Wonderful!"
When Chuchenzi heard this, he gave a thumbs up and said: "As expected of the master, the master is wise!"
Qingyunzi said: "You guys should be busy!"
"yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Qingyunzi took out an elixir and placed it in the brocade box. This elixir has a refreshing fragrance. When people smell it, they feel refreshed and feel very comfortable.
Qingyunzi looked at the elixir, sneered, and went to the place where Yang Guang meditated and retreated.
Not long after, Qingyunzi met Yang Guang.
Qingyunzi used one hand, shook the fly whisk in his hand, and said: "I pay homage to the emperor!"
Yang Guang laughed and said: "Taoist Priest, you don't have to be polite. Speaking of which, the elixir that Taoist Priest gave me last time was very good. After I took it, I saw Penglai Fairy Island and other places. Fortunately, the Imperial Master said
These don't exist. But, I really dreamed about them."
Qingyunzi chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, this is not a dream, but you have deep roots and outstanding talents. So after you take the elixir, and under the stimulation of the elixir, you can see Penglai, Abbot and other fairy mountains and islands. This
It is an opportunity given to the emperor, and ordinary people have no way of seeing it."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Yang Guang was very happy when he heard this.
Now, he is only focused on seeking immortality and asking questions, and he can't care about the rest. In fact, according to the true energy left in his body by Yang Guang's refining Wang Can, Yang Guang himself is getting younger and his energy is getting better and better.
But Yang Guang felt it was too slow.
According to this approach, he doesn't know how long it will take for him to reach Wang Can's situation.
So Yang Guang believed what the alchemist said.
So Yang Guang started taking pills.
Especially after Yang Guang took the elixir, he realized that it was indeed effective, so he believed in Qingyunzi and others without any doubt. Under such circumstances, Yang Guang abolished all the matters before the court. In fact, he even believed in Qingyunzi and others.
I have 100% trust in Qing Yunzi and others when they refine the elixir. I believe that Qing Yunzi and others refine the elixir for his own good.
Even if it costs a lot of money, Yang Guang will not hesitate.
