Wan Huojing was really confused. In his opinion, if he just killed a prince, it would be completely useless. As for the current emperor, he would not be able to pass the throne to the princess no matter what. "If
If the emperor does not die, how can the princess inherit the throne? Although the emperor is old, he is still very strong. If, if another prince or princess is born, then..."
Wan Huojing didn't finish speaking, but Zeng Yi also understood what he meant. The third child whispered from the side: "No way! How old is the emperor? How capable is he?"
But the fourth child shook his head: "I really can't say for sure, there may be something strange in this world. Don't forget, the Tianshan child grandmother of the Xiaoyao sect was already seventy or eighty years old at the time. Because of the Changchun Kungfu, she is immortal for eternity.
, she looks like a little girl, you might say she still has the ability to have children, that’s not even possible!”
When Wan Huojing heard that there was such a rejuvenating martial arts in the world, he became even more worried, "How about I find an opportunity to take action when I meet the emperor?"
"Don't commit suicide. The emperor is always protected by experts. You can hardly hold the sword safely. What's the difference between you and committing suicide! And didn't I say that the emperor can't die now? He will slowly die."
Death must be delayed until we have mastered a certain amount of power in the court!" Zeng Yi rolled his eyes at Wan Huojing and couldn't help but say.
"Then, what should we do?"
Zeng Yi and the other two fell silent for a while. The fourth child raised his head and said, "I have an idea, but I just don't know if it can be done."
"What are you paying attention to? Tell me quickly!"
"Hehe, you should know that in addition to the elixirs that cure diseases, save lives, and increase one's power, there is actually another elixir in the world."
Zeng Yi frowned, "What elixir? Poison elixir?"
The fourth man shook his head and continued with a smile: "Another type of elixir is also called elixir. It was made by ancient alchemists using natural minerals such as lead sand, sulfur, and mercury as raw materials, and was smelted in a furnace.
It is a medicine. It is said that if you take the elixir, you will be immune to all diseases and live forever. Therefore, in ancient China, many emperors were endlessly pursuing the elixir."
"Elixir!" Zeng Yi's eyes lit up. Even people who don't know history know that in ancient China, many emperors lost their lives because of this thing. Especially due to the prosperity of Taoism, many people used it in the name of Taoism.
Alchemy and alchemy activities reached their peak. However, due to the high toxicity of elixirs, some emperors lost their lives in pursuit of immortality. In reality, there were 21 emperors in the Tang Dynasty from its establishment to its demise in 290 years. Among these 21 emperors, at least
Five people died due to pill poisoning. For example, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was a rare wise emperor in history. When he was young, this talented and sage emperor once laughed at Emperor Qin and Han Wu for being obsessed with alchemy and seeking pills. However, in his later years due to serious illness, he also began to take pills.
In the end, due to taking the "life-prolonging medicine" refined by the alchemists of Zhongtianzhu, his condition worsened and he died at the age of only 50.
"Yes, I forgot about this. If the Emperor and Crown Prince dies, the Emperor will definitely want to live more, and prolonging his life is definitely his biggest wish. If this old guy starts taking the elixir, then...
....Hahahaha!" When he thought of this, Zeng Yi suddenly felt that the idea of Laosi was so suitable!
"Then what if he really gets a life-extending elixir? There are all kinds of weird elixirs in the world. Who knows if any of them can extend life? The imperial court must have many treasures." The boss said with some worry.
.
"Haha, you are overthinking this. Based on my professional knowledge, there are quite a lot of pills that can overdraft your life. There is no such thing as trying to extend your life out of thin air. As for those treasures of heaven and earth, the emperor is seriously aging.
His body, if he dares to take the treasures of heaven and earth, he will be killed in minutes!"
Having said this, Zeng Yi looked at Wan Huo Jing and smiled: "You still have to take action on this matter. You don't need to do anything. You just need to find an opportunity to mention it to the emperor, and you can look for a life-extending elixir."
That’s it, let’s wait and see the rest!”
"This, if I have the opportunity, I will mention it, but I can't make it too clear. If the ministers of the court know about this matter, they will definitely report it. I am a sycophant! If I am suspected now, then once
If the plan fails, there will be no way out!" Wan Huojing was actually not optimistic about the elixir plan. In his opinion, it would be too stupid for the emperor to believe it, so he didn't want to expose it in advance.
"You don't need to be so obvious. I just need you to mention it a little bit. If it doesn't work, you can be more tactful. I believe that the emperor's current situation, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will never give up."
Wanhuo Dingding nodded and was about to order something when Zeng Yi suddenly noticed the movement and waved immediately. The three bosses immediately silenced their voices. A moment later, there was a knock on the door, followed by: "Master, the food is ready.
Already."
Wan Huojing looked at Zeng Yi and the other two, and replied: "I understand, you go down first, I will go there later."
After the servant left, Zeng Yi looked at Wanhuo Jing and whispered: "Do you have any other safe place here? Staying in your bedroom all the time is not an option! If someone notices this, what will happen to you?
It can’t be cleaned up.”
Wan Huojing also felt that it was not appropriate for the four of them to stay in his bedroom. He frowned and pondered for a moment, "Although there are few people in Wan Mansion, there are servants coming in and out of many places. Only the ancestral hall in the backyard, apart from me,
No one can go in. If the four of you don't mind, go ahead and hide."
"I don't mind it, it would be nice to have a place, but you have to think of a way to get us some food."
"Don't worry. Every few days, I will personally replace a batch of tributes. There will be no problem with food."
If you want to go to the ancestral hall, you must do it at night. There are many servants coming and going in Wan Mansion during the day. If these people find four people in Wan Huojing's bedroom, Zeng Yi is sure that within two days, all the mansions in the capital will be gone.
All the servants will know about this. The gossip among these people is very powerful.
After eating, Wan Huojing rushed to the palace again in the afternoon. He was the Minister of the Ministry of War and had too many things to do, especially the old emperor. He knew that the person who attacked him was the four kingdoms of Persia in the Xixia, Tubo and Prairie.
After the alliance, the angry emperor clamored to declare war on the four countries and avenge his son the prince. Fortunately, the leaders of the DPRK and the Central Government were not overwhelmed by the anger. It was not a wise choice to attack the four countries at the same time, especially now.
There is clear evidence that the four countries are definitely an alliance.
