Zhu Di kept a straight face. When the Taoist arrived in the hall, he glanced at the Taoist and remained silent.
The Taoist saluted and said that he had seen His Majesty.
Zhang Anshi on the side looked at this man carefully.
This Taoist has a slender figure, dull eyebrows, and elegant robes. He is indeed a bit of an immortal.
After making a big salute, he said: "Your Majesty, the path..."
After he finished speaking, his eyes began to look at King Yin, and then he said: "This noble man seems to be feeling unwell?"
Zhu Di said: "What the real person said is true. It is indeed this boy... who was feeling unwell and seeking medical treatment to no avail, so he turned to me for help."
This real person is called Xu Jinfeng, a Taoist from Lingji Palace. He offered medicine to Zhu Di and was appreciated by Zhu Di.
Lingji Palace enshrines two Taoist masters from the Southern Tang Dynasty. Although compared with Zhengyi, they are only a branch of Taoism, but they are quite famous in the Fujian Chief Envoy.
Zhu Di smiled and said: "The real person is quite capable of observing phenomena."
Xu Zhenren smiled and said: "No, Your Majesty, it was actually what I heard from the young eunuch when I came here."
Zhang Anshi was eager to give it a try, waiting for Master Xu to show his weakness, but who knew that this guy was actually very real.
The plan failed, so I couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Zhu Di said at this time: "Master, please give this guy a doctor first."
Xu Zhenren nodded, with a look of indifference, and only looked at Zhu Xi's body.
After a long time, he said slowly and calmly: "Your Majesty, this noble man...is not sick."
As soon as this statement came out...
Zhu Di glared at Yin Wang Zhu? subconsciously, and Zhu? shuddered.
Zhang Anshi couldn't help but be surprised. This Taoist... was actually... really good at medical skills?
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "How can you be sure that you are not sick?"
Xu Zhenren said: "Pindao is good at some Qi-viewing techniques."
Zhang Anshi looked a little surprised and said, "Can this be seen?"
Xu Zhenren said: "Naturally, but..."
He stared at Zhang Anshi: "This noble man seems... to be unwell."
After Zhang Anshi heard this, he was dumbfounded. This was so good, but it was actually pointed at his head.
After calming down, Zhang Anshi immediately said: "I am in very good health."
Xu Zhenren looked at Zhang Anshi who was not very happy, but smiled and said: "Whether it is good or not, you will know gradually."
After hearing Xu Zhenren's words, Zhu Di and Prince Zhu Gaochi both became nervous, and their eyes looked at Zhang Anshi intently.
Zhu Di said: "Can a real person tell what kind of disease he has?"
Xu Zhenren said: "I see that this noble man looks good, but he seems to have a hidden disease. If he goes like this for a long time, I'm afraid... his life will be shortened."
Zhang Anshi: "..."
Zhu Di's face became increasingly livid.
Zhu Gaochi was also shocked and speechless for a moment.
Zhang Anshi said: "I...why do you sound like a liar to me?"
Xu Zhenren still looked calm and said with a smile: "Believe it or not, it's just a humble opinion. Noble people don't have to worry about it. Just eat and drink well on weekdays."
Zhang Anshi frowned and couldn't help but said: "Just say I have some disease."
Xu Zhenren said: "Your Majesty, please don't embarrass Xiao Dao. Xiao Dao is actually not good at medical skills. As for Xiao Dao's little truth, I'm afraid that even if I tell you about it, I won't understand it. Instead of just listening to it like a cloud, it's better to
Don’t go into detail.”
Zhang Anshi: "..."
Zhang Anshi was inexplicably panicked.
There is a saying that if something doesn't happen to you, you won't believe it no matter what others say.
But the other party pointed directly at himself, which made Zhang Anshi feel a little guilty.
Because this Taoist doesn't really look like he has any flaws.
At this time, Zhu Di was more concerned about Zhang Anshi's body. He couldn't help frowning and said: "Master... is there a way to save him? This disciple of mine must do his best."
Xu Zhenren seemed to be surprised that Zhu Di could say "go all out".
But he still smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, refining elixirs is not easy. Xiaodao has spent countless efforts refining elixirs for Your Majesty. Even if they are dedicated to the palace, they have tried their best, but they may not be able to supply them in time. If this noble man also wants to
Take Xiaodao's elixir, Xiaodao is worried..."
Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, let him eat!"
Zhang Anshi: "..."
Zhang Anshi felt that he was still moved, but now was not the time to be moved.
Xu Zhenren sighed: "In that case, then... Xiaodao will bring the elixir and invite the noble man to take the elixir."
Immediately, the eunuch left in a hurry.
Xu Zhenren's behavior has always been unfazed.
The clouds are calm and the wind is light, as if he doesn't care much about the things around him.
It's quite a bit like having no desires or pursuits, just like a free fish and a wild crane.
Not long after, I saw a eunuch bringing in a box.
Master Xu uncovered it, and immediately... Master Xu said slowly and authentically: "Your Excellency, please take this elixir and see the effect first. After ten days, come back to see Pindao."
Zhang Anshi looked at the elixir seriously and frowned.
This thing is black and as big as a pigeon egg.
So he asked: "Is this what your Majesty eats?"
Xu Zhenren said: "This longevity pill..."
Zhang Anshi said: "Can eating it really prolong your life?"
Xu Zhenren said: "Naturally."
Zhang Anshi asked again: "What if it can't prolong life?"
Xu Zhenren said: "There are those who believe, but there are none if you don't believe. If the noble person refuses to eat, then it doesn't matter."
Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Hu at this time.
Then, Zhang Anshi showed a proud look and laughed loudly: "If you believe it, you will have it, but if you don't believe it, you will have nothing. Are you going to use this to deceive me?"
But Master Xu still looked indifferent: "Why, is there anything wrong with Pindao's elixir?"
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Do you know who I am?"
"I hope you can teach me." Xu Zhenren smiled.
Zhang Anshi said: "Zhang Anshi!"
Xu Zhenren's expression was cold, and he only said: "They are all living beings, whether it is Zhang Anshi or Li Anshi. They are just names."
Zhang Anshi sneered and said: "It seems that you won't shed tears until you see the coffin."
Zhu? also cheered up, stared, and shouted: "Yes, you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"
Xu Zhenren remained unmoved.
Zhu Di's brows furrowed even more tightly.
Zhu Gaochi, on the other hand, was a little confused at this time. This Anshi talked about so much, but he didn't touch on any important points.
Zhang Anshi said righteously and righteously: "Your Majesty, this Taoist is a person who deceives the world and steals his reputation. In order to seek credit and rewards, he deceives the emperor and ignores his superiors. He uses the name of fairy medicine to hide evil intentions and has ulterior motives. I beg your majesty..."
Zhu Di's face changed slightly, and he frowned and said, "Zhang Qing might as well speak more clearly."
Master Xu also said slowly and calmly: "Yes, if I have any problems, you can speak out. Why do you need to accuse me of such a crime? I am an outsider..."
Zhang Anshi showed a proud look and said: "Of course you have no problem."
"Um?"
Zhang Anshi looked at him with a half-smile but said, "Do you think... I came to the palace to find problems in you?"
Xu Zhenren remained calm and said in a calm and authentic voice: "In that case, then... why does the noble man accuse me so much and put me in such an embarrassing situation?"
Zhang Anshi sneered and said: "Since a person like you can be famous, even the palace can know about your magical skills, and you can also have the honor to enter the palace, meet the emperor, and even make elixirs for him, you are... you are a
An impeccable person."
After a pause, he continued: "In other words... you must be a... person with a sharp tongue and no flaws in his body, just like... Jin Zhong Jinbu Tang, he has his own way of fooling people.
His ability... Your Majesty, what I mean is that Jin Budang used his ability to confuse people in a serious way, unlike this man in front of me."
Zhu Di looked slightly angry.
But Xu Zhenren still smiled. He showed a calmness beyond ordinary people, but sighed: "Is that all you need?"
Zhang Anshi admired this Taoist's determination, and laughed loudly and said: "Of course these alone are not enough. But... you have to understand, I am Zhang Anshi, and obviously you have known my name for a long time.
What we are doing is about Tiqi and the detective. Isn’t it easy to catch a swindler like you?"
"Then, I want to be taught a lesson." Xu Zhenren still looked calm and calm, and said after a pause: "It's just that if you just have unreasonable suspicions or want to frame someone up, then...
Although there is nothing I can do, I can only ask Your Majesty to allow me to travel abroad and no longer be able to serve Your Majesty."
What he said was a hidden secret.
You know, His Majesty is currently relying on his elixirs to survive.
If Zhang Anshi really couldn't find any solid evidence, he would have no choice but to give up, and on His Majesty's side... Zhang Anshi might not be able to explain it easily.
But even though there was a faint threat in his words, Master Xu still spoke calmly and calmly, as if he didn't care about the crisis at hand at all.
You know, in the eyes of ordinary people, Zhang Anshi is a character who can make children stop crying.
But he still had a smile on his face and looked calm.
Zhu Di remained silent at this time, but looked at Zhang Anshi, who seemed to be waiting for something.
On the other hand, Zhu Gaochi, who had not spoken for a long time, was already breaking into a cold sweat.
He felt that Zhang Anshi was too reckless. If his suspicions were wrong, or if he could not provide irrefutable proof, his father would be furious and he would be unable to bear the consequences.
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "I just said that you are indeed impeccable. Even at this time, you can still be so calm. It shows that you must have some skills."
In fact, it is more than just some skills. Of all the Taoists who can enter the palace, which one has not become a spirit-like person?
Later generations may have only heard from some fragments of history that a certain alchemist made elixirs for the emperor, and thought that this alchemist was just a swindler. What came to mind must be a character with the head of a deer and the eyes of a rat.
Little did they know that these people had such courage, could move freely in the palace, and gained the emperor's trust. Their emotional intelligence and IQ were higher than ninety-nine percent of the people in the world.
Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "You are impeccable. It is certainly not easy to find flaws in you. But I have been in Jinyiwei for a long time, but I have always known that those who have always deceived the world and stole reputation cannot do it alone. They must work together in a group, so
...If you want, you don’t have to focus on yourself at all, just focus on your gang. After all...it is impossible for each of you to be tight-lipped, nor to be impeccable."
Zhang Anshi looked at Master Xu with a smile.
Xu Zhenren still smiled in return.
"But how to find your gang?" Zhang Anshi continued slowly: "Actually, it is very easy, that is to create a crisis for you."
Xu Zhenren sighed: "The poor Taoist can no longer understand what the noble man said."
"You will understand it soon." Zhang Anshi continued: "Because only by creating a crisis will your group become nervous. As long as you are nervous, the true colors will show up. This is why, the Crown Prince has come to advise His Majesty.
The reason..."
Having said this, he glanced at Zhu Gaochi and then continued: "If my guess is correct, after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince enters the palace and advises His Majesty, someone will definitely inform you of the news. After all... a person like you,
It is not easy to completely guess the emperor's heart. When you are making elixirs here, you must understand His Majesty's movements at all times and analyze His Majesty's thoughts from His daily speech and behavior. Only in this way can you 'share your worries' for His Majesty."
"Then... why not, let's sort it out slowly." Zhang Anshi's words became more and more urgent, and he said: "You entered the palace according to the imperial edict, and soon began to make friends with a certain eunuch who often served. Actually, this makes sense.
, after all, you are just a magician,
You cannot meet His Majesty at any time. And in your profession, once you can win His Majesty's trust, you can get countless rewards. The so-called money can move people's hearts, not to mention, if you can win His Majesty's favor, there will be countless other benefits."
"And it is actually easy to bribe eunuchs. Although many eunuchs in the palace have low status, they can always be with His Majesty. Their salaries in the palace are meager, and they cannot always take care of their families outside the palace. As long as they are paid enough
The price is high, and it is only necessary to teach him to convey some news and inform some of His Majesty's preferences. The risk is very low, but the return is very high. This should be a method commonly used by the alchemists in the past dynasties."
Xu Zhenren frowned slightly, his face expressionless at this time.
Zhu Di looked around suspiciously. The eunuchs standing in the palace were all silent and frightened.
Yi Shiha was slightly shocked, this situation was really unexpected for him.
Zhang Anshi continued: "But there are so many eunuchs in the palace. Finding this eunuch is like looking for a needle in a haystack, so... I lured the snake out of the hole. It's easy to lure the snake out of the hole. Just like what I just said, just need to
Just create a crisis. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's advice is a crisis, and the Crown Prince enters the palace on the front foot. I enter the palace with His Royal Highness King Yin, and King Yin pretends to be ill, which is also a crisis."
"Under this situation, the eunuch who was the first to learn the news must not be able to sit still, because he knows very well that your test is coming, and he thinks that it must be His Highness the Crown Prince, me and King Yin who set it up.
What kind of plot is waiting for you to get into this trap, to see you through. And once you are seen through, he may also be involved, and in the end... he will die without a burial place."
Zhang Anshi looked at Xu Zhenren with a smile and said: "Guess, if a person suddenly comes to a life-or-death situation, can he still remain calm? If I were him, the first thing would be to do everything possible.
I will give you a message and teach you how to prepare in advance to prevent any unexpected events."
When Xu Zhenren heard this, he said: "It's a wonderful story."
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "There is something even more exciting. Since I have made such a judgment, then... in fact, this eunuch... is not difficult to guess. First... this eunuch must be a regular attendant.
That is to say, driving with you at any time
People who are under His Majesty's control, such people have good ears and eyes, and they must be the ones you bribe. Of course, you may not be bribed by a eunuch, but it doesn't matter, because I only need to find one."
"And the second thing..." The sarcasm on Zhang Anshi's face deepened, and he continued: "This eunuch must have left this palace for an excuse during His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's visit to me, King Yin, and gave it to you
Let me inform you so that you can know what is happening here and be prepared to deal with it. With these two conditions, then..."
Zhang Anshi did not continue.
At this time...Yi Shiha's expression had suddenly changed.
Since this involves eunuchs, he, the Grand Duke, cannot absolve himself of the blame.
Yi Shiha felt miserable. He thought that as long as he stopped bothering Dongchang and just lay down, he would have no worries! But who knew... the fire actually burned his butt now.
Immediately, Yishiha looked at Zhu Di hurriedly and cautiously inquiring.
Zhu Di's face was ashen, he pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
He also lost his understanding and immediately said: "Come, please check carefully. Among the regular servants in this palace, who has just left?"
He paused and then said: "It takes at least two sticks of incense to go back and forth from here to the real person's residence. Who will leave two sticks of incense?"
These eunuchs, who were as silent as cicadas and stood in the corner, were already scared with rays on their backs and dripping with cold sweat.
They know better than anyone else that once people like themselves are suspected, His Majesty's temper will never be spared. If he shields this person, the final result will be that everyone will die together.
Even if His Majesty has passed this test, the Grand Eunuch has always been extremely strict on such matters. In short, even if you don't die, you will lose a layer of skin.
So, an eunuch immediately said: "Chen Jie just now...not long after His Royal Highness King Yin and His Highness the Prince of Wuhu County entered the palace, he said he had abdominal pain, and quietly taught the slaves to look at it. He went back to the dormitory to take some medicine to relieve the pain, and then went
…Pour incense two or three times.”
As soon as these words came out, outside the palace, there was a eunuch whose face turned pale and fell to his knees with a snap.
Yi Shiha gritted his teeth at this moment, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he immediately said: "Bring him here, bring him here immediately... Where is he?"
So, several eunuchs quickly escorted one eunuch in.
The eunuch was already like chaff and was trembling all over.
He just kowtows blindly: "Ten thousand deaths, ten thousand deaths, I, my slave, will all die..."
