Well, Jiajing frowned, do you really dislike Chang An that much? Why are you not even a little bit reluctant to leave?
"Senior brother, it's just that Princess Chang'an's life depends on Tang Ruji's ancestral elixir. If there are not many of Tang Ruji's ancestral elixir left, wouldn't Princess Chang'an's life be short-lived?"
Hearing this, Jiajing felt a little more balanced. At least his junior brother cared about Chang An and thought very thoughtfully about Chang An.
"I have also thought about this. Since this medicine is Tang Ruji's ancestral elixir, I guess he must have a secret recipe and he can reconstitute it after he has finished using it."
Xiao Feng shook his head: "Brother, have you ever thought that if only Tang Ruji knew this ancestral secret recipe, if he had an accident, wouldn't the princess stop taking the medicine?
In this way, if Tang Ruji died, the princess would have to be buried with him; but if the princess died, Tang Ruji could continue to live happily.
Even if Tang Ruji loses his love for the princess in the future, there is no need to take action. As long as the ingredients of the ancestral medicine are adjusted a little, the princess may die.
Am I, the majestic Princess of the Ming Dynasty, just a chess piece and plaything that he holds in the palm of his hand and can live or die whenever he wants?"
Jiajing suddenly opened his eyes. Although Xiao Feng's words were unpleasant, they revealed the crux of the problem. If Princess Chang'an is allowed to marry because of Tang Ruji's ancestral elixir, then this will indeed be the situation in the future!
"Junior brother, in your opinion, what should we do?"
"Senior brother, ask Tang Ruji to present the secret recipe of the ancestral elixir, and Master Huo Xuan will personally refine the elixir. If it is indeed effective, the princess will have no worries about her future life, and she can naturally discuss the matter of marriage calmly.
If Tang Ruji refuses to give up the secret recipe, it means that he does not really love Princess Chang'an at all, but has other motives. And if he wants to rely on the secret recipe to control the princess's life in the palm of his hand, his heart is worth killing!"
Jiajing nodded slowly: "For this reason, if he really cared about Chang An, how could he hide the gift without offering it? Huang Ban, I will issue an order tomorrow for Tang Ruyi to present the secret recipe!"
Early the next morning, before Yan Shifan could wake up naturally, two pieces of bad news rushed into Yan's house one after another, waiting for him to make up his mind.
The first one is Tang Ruji. Long live ordered him to donate his ancestral secret recipe. To be honest, if Tang Ruji really had the secret recipe handed down from his ancestors, he would definitely give it to him without hesitation. Compared with Long Live's appreciation, the prescription is nothing.
ah!
But the problem is, he really doesn't have any. He only has three pills, which were all given to him by Yan Shifan. He was also afraid of eating the princess to death, so he repeatedly asked Yan Shifan about the ingredients of the medicine, but Yan Shifan refused to tell him and only told him
It will never harm him.
Of the three pills, one was used in the palace trial, and the remaining two were said to be effective. Tang Ruji followed Yan Shifan's instructions and proposed to Wansui to marry Chang An. Seeing Wansui's intentions, he was quite moved.
Tang Ruji was originally quite satisfied with this result: although he was the number one scholar, he was still considered a member of the Yan Party. If he really wanted to get promoted and make a fortune, he had to rely on the Yan family, so he had to be obedient.
If he really becomes the consort, although his promotion will be affected, Jiajing loves Chang An far more than other princesses, and the consort is not absolutely incapable of taking power!
He made a lot of sacrifices for this! The whole world knew that his future wife had a lip-to-face with Xiao Feng, and later she even went too far and even moved into Xiao Feng's house!
This is simply unreasonable! Every day when Tang Ruji entered the Hanlin Academy, he felt that the hat on his head was so green that even the horses passing by wanted to take a bite when they saw him.
But he endured it, and even comforted himself secretly: Yan Shifan was suddenly so enthusiastic about him, and he gave him medicines and ideas to help him marry the princess. He must have bad intentions.
It is estimated that Yan Shifan himself fell in love with the princess, but he also knew that he was notorious. Jiajing could not agree to let Chang An marry the Yan family, so he saved the country through his own twists and turns? Could it be that he had already reached a tacit understanding with the princess?
If that were the case, not only would I have to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, but maybe I would have to be Wu Dalang in the future. When the official Ximen came to see his wife, I would have to stand guard at the door. I don’t have a younger brother who can fight tigers!
So compared to the days to come, the current scandal between the princess and Xiao Feng is nothing! A man can bend and stretch!
But today
An imperial decree in the morning shattered all his random thoughts in the past few days. Even if he was willing to be a Ninja Turtle, he may not be qualified now. The most terrifying thing is that he has no secret recipe and can't hand over anything!
What would Banzai think? What would Baiguan think? There are just two situations.
First, you, Tang Ruji, have no ancestral secret recipe at all, only three medicines. Then you are deceiving the emperor! You only have a few medicines and you dare to ask for the princess. You have no intention of letting the princess live for a few days!
What's the matter, after trying something new, you don't want it anymore? Will you fend for yourself? If you really think this way, Jiajing will kill you with a thousand knives!
Second, you, Tang Ruji, have a secret recipe handed down from your ancestors, but you are unwilling to hand it over. This is not a deception, but a naked insult and provocation to Jiajing.
I have a prescription, but I won’t give it to you. What can you do?
You can either marry your daughter to me, and if I'm in a good mood, I'll reward her with food and keep her alive. If you don't want to marry her to me, hey, old man, just wait and collect your daughter's body.
If Jiajing still does not punish the nine other tribes under such circumstances, then Jiajing will not be the Daojun Emperor, but the Bodhisattva Emperor.
So after receiving this imperial edict, Tang Ruji immediately felt that he was doomed. He ran to Yan's Mansion desperately and asked Yan Shifan to take responsibility for him.
I am a top scholar, I am a good person in front of a concubine, I have a bright future, but now because of the perverted desires of a perverted guy like you, I am about to lose my head!
I became a member of the Strict Party to get promoted and make a fortune, not to protect you from bullets! What’s more, Tang Ruji frowned and thought of another possibility.
Could Yan Shifan, the bastard, have been holding a grudge because he felt that I had robbed him of the top prize, so he used this idea to kill people with a borrowed knife? It's not impossible!
Yan Shifan didn't know that Tang Ruji had such rich psychological activities, and he also frowned. This thing was a bit beyond his expectation.
Yan Shifan was not sure why Xiao Qin asked Tang Ruji to be his consort. Xiao Qin only said that the princess was an important part of his affairs and hoped that he could help find someone of his own to be his consort.
Because only by becoming the consort can one have the opportunity to take the princess out of the capital, and only then can an accident happen and the princess fall into Xiao Qin's hands.
Yan Shifan is not a fool. He knows that Xiao Qin is different from the emissary in that he is not so obsessed with women. The reason why he wants to get a woman so painstakingly is most likely related to his martial arts practice.
Anyway, it was definitely not the purpose of threatening Jiajing by taking Princess Chang'an as a hostage. Although Jiajing loved Chang An, he would never accept such a threat. When Xiao Feng was arrested, Jiajing didn't do this.
If we capture King Yu and King Jing together, we might be able to negotiate terms with Jiajing, but there is a high probability that Jiajing will overturn the table and go back to the palace to try hard to create a few more. The Ming Emperor has nothing but a temper.
Those three pills were given by the emissary. They were made by crushing the red Paradise Pill and mixing it with ginseng, realgar and other fire-based medicines. It is not impossible to make a few more pills, but how can the secret recipe be revealed?
Bliss Pill is a forbidden drug, even if Jiajing believed that the ancestral secret recipe happened to use Golden Mandala, he would not pursue it for the sake of his daughter. But what does Xiao Feng do? He will definitely follow the clues and implicate Yan Shifan from Tang Ruji.
It doesn't matter if there is a coincidence in your ancestral secret recipe, but these pills you have are obviously newly made. Where do you get your raw materials from?
At that time, the line of selling medicine will connect the secret envoys, the White Lotus Sect, the Tatars and even the Japanese pirates. Pull out the carrots and bring out the mud. Who knows how big Xiao Feng can make things happen?
Besides, once the prescription came out, Tao Zhongwen would know as soon as he tried it that it was only a short-term drug, and for Princess Chang An, the effect would become smaller and smaller until it was useless.
Xiao Qin had hinted that Xiao Feng was able to cure the princess's illness not only because of the Divine Pill of Bliss in Xiao Feng's body, but also because of Xiao Feng's unique physique.
Like a magical medicine cauldron, he absorbed and transformed the Divine Pill of Bliss. How exactly he did it, Xiao Qin never knew.
If the princess were given the real Divine Pill of Bliss directly, she would die of hunger and thirst even if it didn't explode. Therefore, the fake medicine they made could only be deceptive for a while and would not be effective for a long time.
Yan Shifan thought about it and could only think of one solution: "Xiao Tang, this is easy, just say that you tried to make these three medicines yourself using ingredients passed down from your ancestors.
Now the ingredients treasured by ancestors are no longer available, and you can't make them anymore. But you can write down the prescription and present it, just write down the golden mantra!
Don’t worry, this is a secret recipe passed down by your ancestors. When your ancestors were alive, Golden Mandala was not a banned drug!"
Tang Ruji said worriedly: "But what if someone doubts that the prescription was written on current paper and not on old paper and pen and ink?"
Yan Shifan snorted: "Trash, just say that this ancestral prescription is passed down orally, and there is no paper left, right?"
This explanation is actually very reluctant. Traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions are not as simple as just talking about a few ingredients. They also need to have precise portions, the order in which the medicine is administered, and each ingredient has different processing techniques.
The so-called monarch and his ministers complement each other with the same mind. A good prescription is often very complicated, and the difference can be thousands of miles away. How can any family have such unscrupulous ancestors who don't even leave a word of an ancestral secret recipe?
Which descendant is stupider, will it be lost?
Tang Ruji naturally knew the reason, but he couldn't think of a better idea, so he had to go back to compile the prescription dejectedly.
After seeing off Tang Ruji, Yan Shifan was about to breathe a sigh of relief when the second piece of bad news came one after another - Kirigakure Fifty-Six could not be rescued because he was too seriously injured, lost too much blood, and was too sad, so he died.
Yan Shifan jumped up, with veins popping on his forehead in anger, and angrily scolded the Dongchang stallman who came to deliver the letter: "Waste, waste! Zhang Yuan and I have repeatedly told him to ensure that the ninja is alive. As long as he loses the ability to testify, how can he give it to him?"
Killed?"
Because the ninja was alive when he was snatched from Yu Dayou's hands. No one dared to deny this. He was also alive when he was imprisoned in Dongchang. It is too dangerous to manipulate at this stage. Read the book La
However, the handover record will not record the prisoner's specific health condition. Therefore, if his tongue and two hands are missing, Dongchang can deny it, either saying that it was self-inflicted, or that he was injured in a fight while escaping from prison.
To be bolder, one could also say that some of the injuries were already there, and he had no hands when he took over from Yu Dayou, so it's not like he couldn't muddle through.
As long as a person is alive, everything is easy to talk about, but once a person dies, Jiajing will immediately become sensitive. This is the only witness. In just a few days, he died in the East Factory without any explanation. It is not a case of murder and silence. What will it be?
Many people died in Dongchang, and Jiajing usually didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, people who entered Dongchang had a narrow escape from death. But this Japanese pirate was different. Xiao Feng had long emphasized that he was a very important witness, and he could die so casually. ?
The Dongchang stall owner had no choice but to tell what happened yesterday and at the same time vigorously defend his employer.
"Mr. Xiaoge, our factory boss is not to blame for this. He is also worried about leaving hidden dangers. That ninja is a weakling. We cut out his tongue and hands and then hated us. What if he still has the ability to confess? Woolen cloth?"
Yan Shifan wished he could kick the water out of his head, but after all, it was a period of sincere cooperation, and the other party was a respectable stall owner, so he had to suppress his anger, and a gentleman would talk but not take action.
"Go to hell, are you all out of your mind? If the Japanese can speak a few words of Ming Dynasty, it's a big deal. If he can write a few words of Ming Dynasty, it's barely acceptable.
What do you believe when I tie a pen to my arm? I tolerate it when I tie a pen to my ankle. What do you believe when I tie a pen to my knee and write?
I've put up with this, but do you really believe that you can write with a pen attached to that thing? Why don't you give me a show and give it a try!"
The Dongchang stall owner was not a eunuch, so he didn't feel any shadow about Yan Shifan's words. He just felt that the factory owner's painstaking efforts were not understood, and he was inevitably angry.
"Mr. Xiao Ge, you can't say anything too categorically. It's said that Lao Ai of the Qin State could use that thing to turn a wheel and perform it on the street. It's not a problem to write a few words..."
Yan Shifan finally couldn't bear it any longer, and he kicked up with a flying kick. His martial arts skills were not low, and he sidestepped. Yan Shifan's injury was not healed yet, so he kicked his leg a little too high. His foot slipped and he fell.
Zi Ma, there was severe pain again in a certain part of the body where the swelling had subsided.
The stall owner was also frightened and did not dare to add fuel to the fire. He cupped his hands, said he was offended, turned around and ran away.
God is really blind. Why are the people who wear the same pants with Xiao Feng all talented people like Hu Zongxian, Yu Dayou, Zhang Juzheng, Qiu Luan, and Zhang Tianci? The people I work with are all Tan Xinren, Shi Zhenxiang, Zhao Wenhua, Liu Tai, and Liu Xia , what about a pig head like Zhang Yuan?
