Twenty years later, the capital.
Emperor Zhenghe, the original King of Qi, was terminally ill and had no cure. But he couldn't give up the prosperous state of Wei State, let alone the monstrous power in his hands, he firmly grabbed the sleeve of a young man who was guarding the hospital bed, and said with all his strength, "National teacher, go to Liangjiang to find the ghost doctor. Come! Tell him, as long as it can prolong my life by twenty years, no, thirty years, I am willing to pay any price!"
The young man was wearing a pure white Taoist robe, and his crow-blue hair was tied behind his head with a hosta, revealing a handsome and innocent face. He seemed to be very disgusted by the touch of others, even if this person was the most powerful emperor in the world, he gently but firmly brushed the other person away, wiped the place where he was holding with a handkerchief repeatedly, and said arrogantly, "Even this seat If you can't cure you, what's the use of looking for someone else? The imperial teacher is here, but the emperor is far away, does he intend to humiliate this seat?"
Zheng Hedi showed an anxious look and repeatedly emphasized, "You don't understand, you don't understand anything! Go to a ghost doctor, only he can save me in the world!"
Because the fact that the palace was turned into a demon's nest was too shocking, the ghost doctor gave everyone a forbidden word, but anyone who mentioned it, even if it was just half a word, would rot his tongue in an instant. Therefore, when he left with King Yu, no one dared to mention the word "ghost doctor" again, and even the people of Liangjiang were too revered and worshipped to dare to make mistakes. Over time, he seemed to have been forgotten. From the famous ghost doctor, he finally became a phantom that only existed in other people's memories.
The generation of Emperor Zhenghe is very secretive about him, and the next generation and the next generation have never heard of his name, let alone his unpredictable and unfathomable ways. Just because he was afraid of him, Emperor Zhenghe would visit the folk masters everywhere for his own use, and finally found the young man in front of him five years ago.
The man's Taoist name, Xuanqing, is a descendant of the orthodox Maoshan School. In order to compete with ghost doctors, and to let King Yu see that there is no one around him, Zheng He Di specially set up the post of national teacher, and provided the man with delicious food and drink by his side. However, these are just self-deception. Whenever they see Xuanqing dancing the peach wood sword for a long time and then summoning a black cloud the size of his palm, the young ministers are amazed, respectful and awe-inspiring, while Emperor Zhenghe and other senior officials are secretive. Sigh.
This kind of mana is really not even one ten thousandth of the ghost doctor's, and it's just laughable and generous to say it. But something is better than nothing. Although Xuanqing is a little useless, it is still pleasing to the eye, and it can also shock and deter evil spirits, so let's just do it.
However, Emperor Zhenghe regretted it, and regretted it! If it wasn't for him being too polite to Xuan Qing and looking for treasures from all over the world just to improve his mana, he wouldn't have cultivated the arrogant temper he is now. Did he really think that he could climb up to the emperor's head to make a fortune by taking him as the national teacher? Who gave him the guts
Yes, other than the prince, who else can give him such courage? The prince wished that I would die sooner, so how could he treat me? Emperor Zhenghe's mind was unprecedentedly clear, and he knew that he had set the national teacher too high, and those people around him would not dare to disobey his orders. Apart from dying slowly, he has no other option.
Thinking of this, Zhenghe Emperor regretted it too late, and wanted to grope for the waste edict hidden under the pillow, but heard Xuanqing sneer, "Don't look for the emperor, the edict has been burned by this seat. Thought, maybe I can live for a few more years."
"You, you hurt me!" Zhenghe Di's eyes were splitting.
"Yeah, but so what? Whoever I want, Xuanqing, will have to die, not to mention those useless imperial physicians, even if Daluo Jinxian comes, he won't be able to save you." Xuanqing leaned in and whispered.
Zhenghe Diji was about to vomit blood, but finally regained his composure. Knowing the son, Mo Ruofu, he knows the character of the crown prince best. Not to mention cruel, he is extremely self-willed. But he has to understand sooner or later that there are many more arrogant people than him, but they just disdain to be involved in the world. When you meet such a person, if it is a tiger, you have to lie down, and if it is a dragon, you have to stand up.
Xuan Qing is also, posing the appearance of a Taoist immortal all day long, he really regards himself as the number one person in the world. As everyone knows, compared with the ghost doctor of the year, he is not even worthy to carry shoes.
The nearly dead Emperor Zhenghe suddenly laughed, and the more he laughed, the louder he murmured, "As expected of my good son, I am even more powerful than I was in the past. Good, good, I am finally at ease when I hand over Wei to him. It's gone!"
Xuanqing wondered what medicine was sold in Zhenghe Emperor Gourd. He clearly wanted to strangle himself and the prince to death at one moment, but he was relieved and satisfied at the next moment, as if the prince's actions were in his favor, but it didn't matter. He was going to die in a few hours, and the situation could not be shaken.
After hearing the news, the crown prince became suspicious, and hurried to see his father for the last time. Emperor Zhenghe was neither angry nor resentful, but just held the prince's hand and repeatedly warned, "The two rivers must not be moved, and the two rivers must not be moved. I respect your Uncle Seventh Emperor, and don't offend him!"
The prince pretended to cry, but didn't reply a word. When he lowered his head and wiped away his tears, Emperor Zhenghe was already dead, and a bright light flashed in his eyes and quickly dissipated. The death knell in the palace rang long, and there were mourning sounds all over the place, and the palace attendants removed the colored silks inside and outside the palace one by one and replaced them with white banners.
With the help of the national teacher, the prince walked to the outer hall to calm down, while the inner hall was surrounded by palace maids, who were arranging the remains of Zheng He and the emperor and changing into the burial clothes.
"The two rivers can't be moved? Such a fertile piece of land, such a high tax revenue, and even the most abundant salt and iron production area, the royal father told Gu that the two rivers could not be moved. Hmph, is Gu really an incompetent like him? ' The prince's tone was extremely disdainful.
"You are the new emperor now, what do you call an orphan?" Xuan Qing smiled lazily, "When you take the throne, you will take back the two rivers, so as to shock the civil and military of the Manchu dynasty."
The crown prince held Xuanqing's fingertips with a friendly attitude, "Only Qing'er understands me best. How can I allow others to sleep on the side of the couch, the immortal can endure it for twenty years, and I can't bear it for a day. When King Yu is eliminated, I will take you back to the Maoshan Sect and ask you to gracefully ascend to the position of the Sect Master."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xuan Qing was secretly happy.
At the same time, Prince Gong was taking advantage of the chaos to go to Prince Su's mansion to discuss important matters with his brother. King Gong and King Su are also very discerning. They once promoted King Qi to the throne, and the other brothers competed with King Qi for the throne, and he was cut off one by one. I thought that I could use the power of the dragon in exchange for a lifetime of stability, but King Qi actually killed the donkey and killed King Gong's children one by one. Instead, he adopted one of his sons to him, inheriting the throne of Prince Gong and everyone. Industry. King Su was even more miserable. He was arbitrarily placed on several charges and locked up in the palace for self-examination. Twenty years later, he was not able to step out of the house. His wife, son, and daughter-in-law all died in depression, leaving only a young grandson with him. He is dependent on each other.
After all, the two are nobles of Tian Huang, and even if their minions are pulled out, they still retain a bit of power, and they plan to leave the capital when the emperor is seriously ill. The crown prince deserves to be the son of Emperor Zhenghe, and he is more ruthless than his father.
After closing the doors and windows, King Gong shook his head and sighed, "I regret it, I really regret it! If I had known that the second child was so vicious, I would never have helped him ascend to the throne."
"At that time, Lao Twelve (Jing Wang) and Lao Liu (Li Wang) also persuaded me to go to Liangjiang to join Lao Qi. I thought he was willing to lose the face of the royal family, but he refused to go, otherwise he would not be so comfortable now ." King Su looked very longing. As soon as Huang Kao died, Lao Qi ran away with the ghost doctor. Immediately afterwards, Wei Guo became chaotic. When all the brothers rushed to the capital in unison, King Jing and King Li took their family and ran to Liangjiang to settle down, and even their own The territorial land is no longer needed.
Once upon a time, he and Prince Gong sneered at the two of them, but looking at them now, they are the most foresighted. There was no open and secret struggle, and no suspicion and suppression. They lived freely and peacefully. I heard that now they have many children and grandchildren. Emperor Zhenghe was too narrow-minded and could not tolerate others. He also sent troops to besiege the two rivers several times. With ghost doctors in charge, the two rivers are no different from the pure land on earth, and the fire of war and panic simply cannot spread.
Therefore, King Gong and King Su were willing to give up their decades of business and go to live in Liangjiang. Lao Qi is broad-minded, generous and righteous, how he has treated King Jing and King Li over the years, everyone with a discerning eye can see that it is the most correct choice to go to him.
"When the second child is dead, the crown prince will definitely call the seventh and the others to the capital for mourning, and then take the opportunity to eradicate them, and we will be able to connect with them at that time. As long as the ghost doctor is willing to take action, it will not be difficult to take us all out of the capital. That's it. Xuanqing thought that he was so deep in Taoism that he would jump a few great gods and call a few clouds to make him a real fairy, but he didn't know that everyone was laughing at him in private." King Gong said contemptuously.
"It's only us old guys who know how powerful the ghost doctor is. I'm afraid the next generation has never even heard of his name. That's fine, but it can save a lot of trouble. Did the ghost doctor promise to take us away? He's a bit temperamental. Weird, it's hard to please." King Su was a little worried.
"I searched for a lot of treasures and sent them to the two rivers, but Lao Qi refused to let go. He accidentally caught a ghost-faced fish that day, and he wrote a letter saying that he could take us away, but only if we exchanged the ghost-faced fish. I Now I treat that fish as a treasure in the house, for fear that it will die." King Gong scratched the back of his head, his face full of confusion. You must know that the ghost-faced fish is a deep-sea fish, with green faces and fangs, and it is extremely ugly. It looks like it has hit a ghost at a sudden glance. Except for the fish, it is very delicious, and there is nothing surprising. Lao Qi doesn't want anything, just wants it, and he doesn't know what to do.
King Su was also puzzled, and after discussing for a few minutes, he had to leave it alone. They never imagined that there is a species in the world called "foodie" that is willing to pay any price for the legendary top delicacy. And Youshu is a foodie among foodies. Saving a few people is just a small effort for him. If the ghost-faced fish misses, I am afraid that the second one will not be encountered in this life. It is clear at a glance.
After the crown prince succeeded to the throne, the title of the reign was set as Shengyuan, and an imperial decree was widely issued to call all the vassal kings and officials of the frontier to return to Beijing. When Emperor Zhenghe was there, he had already withdrawn his vassal lands, and only the two rivers remained, but there were three vassal kings living on the land of Liangjiang, namely King Jing, King Li and King Yu. The first two are not to be feared, but King Yu had to get rid of them. Because of this, the talents and talents are very talented. Through the sky and the latitude, the two rivers are managed to be more prosperous and prosperous than the capital, and they also enjoy a high prestige among the people.
King Yu's private soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and they occupy the right time and place. Therefore, Emperor Shengyuan thought about it and decided to secretly get rid of King Yu while he was in the capital. He knew very well how capable Xuan Qing was. It was easy to make a person disappear without knowing it. I was afraid that they would not dare to come when they heard about Xuan Qing's reputation.
If King Gong and King Su could hear Emperor Shengyuan's heart, they would definitely ridicule him for thinking too much. That lord really wasn't afraid of anyone. When the imperial decree was issued, King Yu brought King Li and King Jing to the capital to attend the funeral and attend the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Sheng Yuan by the way.
Emperor Sheng Yuan was very curious about the Seventh Emperor Uncle. The other party was just a small vassal king, while the father emperor was the ruler of the state of Wei. In a fight between the two, he had never been defeated. What did he rely on? Could it be that he has grown three heads and six arms? Because of this curiosity, he personally went to the gate of the palace to meet King Yu, and was shocked.
After careful calculation, this person should be approaching fifty, right? How do you look so young? The two people behind him should be King Jing and King Li, but they both had gray temples, and they looked like two generations standing with him. Apart from his excessively young and handsome appearance, Emperor Shengyuan also found that he was hugging a male pet, and his eyes were full of tenderness.
This is the father's confidant serious trouble? But so! Emperor Shengyuan narrowed his eyes contemptuously. Xuan Qing, who was standing behind him, was already full of murderous intentions.
Youshu didn't care about the death of Zheng Hedi, who came to the throne, or the murderous gaze. He just wanted to know that the ghost-faced fish he had been missing for a long time was still there, so he secretly tugged at the sleeve of his master, asking him to get rid of Emperor Sheng Yuan quickly, and then go to Prince Gong's Mansion to have a look.
King Yu patiently greeted Emperor Shengyuan, and then asked to go out of the palace to see some brothers. In the eyes of Emperor Shengyuan, several uncles are already equivalent to dead people. If they want to get together, they don't need to be obstructed. With Xuan Qing, even if they run to the horizon, they can still kill them instantly.
"I will order someone to prepare a car for Uncle Huang." He waved his hand generously, "This time when I ascend to the throne, I am going to show mercy to the world. The Fourth Uncle (King Su) will be able to lift the ban in a few days, and I also ask Uncle Seven to bring him a message. , let him rest easy."
King Yu pretended to be grateful, and he shook his head and sneered when he left the palace gate. Unexpectedly, many poisonous snakes fell from the roof of the car as soon as he drove halfway. He opened his mouth wide, revealing fangs dripping with venom, and pounced on people. King Jing and King Li were accustomed to living a stable life, and they were so frightened that they lost their minds for a while, but King Yu moved quickly and firmly protected the young man under him without even thinking about it.
"These are not real snakes, but evil things transformed by the yin and evil energy. Once bitten, they will fall ill, and even the most brilliant doctor will not be able to see the clue. This is the evil method of Taoism, and it should be that What a national teacher did." You Shu shook out an exorcism talisman from her cuff and lit it, and then made three cups of talisman water for a few people to drink.
The poisonous snakes turned into mist and dissipated, and the cold feeling that penetrated into the bone marrow was also replaced by a warm current, Wang Yu straightened the hair on the sideburns of the boy's ear, and said, "Our good nephew is very impatient and can't even wait for a moment. , it was a bit maddening to start as soon as I entered Beijing."
"It is said that the national teacher next to him is a true god, and his mana is powerful. He is naturally confident." Li Wang said contemptuously.
"If it were me, I wouldn't be able to wait. Revenge can't be delayed overnight, otherwise it'll be stale." You Shu climbed out of her master's arms, lifted the curtain and called, "Come back." A paper crane flew from the direction of the palace Here, the sharp beak is stained with a drop of blood, and there is a hair in the mouth.
"When did you let it out?" King Yu smiled and caught Zhi He.
"When Xuanqing looked at you with murderous eyes, I let it go. Whatever he did to you, I would give it back to him a hundred times a thousand times. Those who dare to touch me will not weigh how much they weigh. Two." You Shu's small breasts were stiffened, her expression a little mean. In this life, the master is covered by him.
King Yu laughed again and again, lowered his head and kissed the young man's mouth that was as sweet as honey, and sighed, "It's amazing to have Shu in my family. Without you, my life would be miserable."
You suck! You are the luckiest among the brothers! King Jing and King Li turned their heads away, the corners of their mouths twitching.
You Shu was so relieved by this flattery, she hugged her master's head and chewed it for a while, and then she put the blood droplets and hair on the paper crane into a small bottle, refined it with a secret method, and wrote the birth date of Emperor Shengyuan in eight characters. On the yellow talisman paper, stuff it together.
As soon as it was finished, Prince Gong's mansion arrived, and the much older Prince Gong stood at the door to greet him, accompanied by a handsome and frail young man. The boy was the sixth son of Zhenghe Emperor, and his biological mother was just a lowly singer who died of bloodshed after giving birth. He had no mother and concubine to take care of him, and he had no capable outsiders, so he was naturally selected by the Emperor Zhenghe to adopt him. Because of this, he was lucky enough to escape the persecution of Emperor Sheng Yuan and became the only surviving prince in the dynasty.
Aware that King Gong was acting cautiously, he tried his best to lower his posture and stepped forward to greet the uncles. However, he soon discovered that the reason why King Gong was so humble was not because of King Yu, but because of the young man beside him. The moment the boy appeared, Prince Gong's lips moved, and he uttered four silent words - Lord Ghost Doctor.
If the dignified prince can be called "Sir", what is the origin of the other party? The sixth prince's heartbeat turned sharply, and it was unknown in the end.
"Is the ghost-faced fish still there?" You Shu stepped forward and asked.
"Yes, of course, I have gained a little weight recently. Please come in!" Prince Gong extended his hand to invite him, with a terrified attitude.
You Shu led his master away quickly, passed a latrine, and suddenly raised his forehead, "I almost forgot, do you have a dirtier and smellier latrine in your house?"
"How can I let you go to that kind of place, there are buckets of Gong, inlaid with gold, and sprinkled with fragrant powder, so that you will not get any bad luck." Prince Gong gave a flattering flattery, making the Sixth Prince stand up. Got goosebumps all over. Where is this hospitality, it is clearly an offering to the Bodhisattva.
"I just want to go to a bad place." You Shu raised the small porcelain bottle in her hand.
Ming Wu, Prince Gong hurriedly led him to the latrine used by the servants, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you trying to rectify? What's the rules?" Who is so unlucky, and immediately targeted by this true god, could it be mine? Good nephew, right? Thinking of this, there seems to be some uncontrollable joy in my heart.
"Fangcai Ji Donglin (Emperor Shengyuan) instructed Xuanqing to kill me, and I won't kill him. I'll let him be unlucky for a lifetime, and then slowly settle things later." Youshu's tone was flat, as if making someone unlucky for a lifetime is just a trivial matter.
The sixth prince took a deep breath, thinking that this person is also a warlock? I just don't know which is better between him and the national teacher
While thinking about it, the latrine has arrived. Shu has used stones to set up a gathering shadow formation, and a magic formation around the periphery to ensure that no servants will come in by mistake and get bad luck, so he threw the small bottle into the unsmelling odor. Maoken felt that it was not enough and threw a few ghost talismans down, making it the most evil place in Wei.
Soul Yin, which is refined from blood essence and hair, is suppressed here, and Emperor Shengyuan will only get more and more unlucky. There is a saying that goes like this, when people are unlucky, they will even drink saliva in the gap between their teeth, which is about this extent.
You Shu led the crowd out, and when he looked back, the thatched hut had disappeared, and unless his cultivation base was higher than him, he would never be able to find it. King Jing is a master who is afraid that the world will not be in chaos, so he begged, "Sir, what kind of unlucky method is Ji Donglin's servant? Let's see?"
Youshu didn't shy away from the sixth prince, took out a small mirror from his sleeve pocket, and pinched a magic trick. The sixth prince and Prince Gong are in the same relationship as father and son, and this time they are going to leave the capital with him. The mirror shows the tall and straight figure of Emperor Shengyuan, who is walking steadily and slowly up the steps of the Qianqing Palace, followed by a group of courtiers, who seem to be preparing to discuss the enthronement ceremony. Seeing that there was only the last step left, the soles of his feet slipped and rolled down, the crown was shattered, the dragon robe was torn open several times, and a few teeth were knocked off by the hard floor tiles, and blood flowed.
The ministers hurriedly helped him up and looked at him with a subtle expression. Which tooth was dropped was not good, but two front teeth were dropped. They couldn't imagine how the emperor would leak his words in the future. This is too detrimental to the prestige of the emperor! Emperor Shengyuan felt something, touched his bald gums with his fingers, and his face became extremely ugly. After driving the ministers away, he immediately ran to the Ming and Qing Palace to find a way for the national teacher.
Xuan Qing couldn't even "live the dead", and how could he get his teeth to grow again, so he had to sprinkle some medicinal powder to help him stop the bleeding. Emperor Shengyuan looked in the mirror repeatedly, and secretly said a few words, and found that his pronunciation was leaking, so he smashed the decorations in the temple. It can be imagined how "eye-catching" he will be at the enthronement ceremony a few days later.
King Jing laughed so hard that they could not straighten their waists, and even the taciturn sixth prince raised the corners of his lips.
Youshu didn't find it interesting, and said seriously, "This is just the beginning. In the first few days, I suffered some minor injuries, and the worse I got, the worse it was, and disasters came one after another, not to mention losing my teeth, even breaking my neck. possible."
The sixth prince gradually stopped laughing, feeling inexplicably terrified in his heart.
