Chapter 1311 Longevity?
It was already midday, and Li Xiu walked out of the study, but he felt the sun was a little dazzling, which made him reach out and blocked his eyes. After a while, he got used to it, but his face was not very good now. After seeing Zhao Deyan off last night, he didn't sleep all night and still didn't feel sleepy.
"Master, my wife has prepared breakfast for you and told you to rest early after using it!" At this moment, the maid next to Yi Yuechan brought breakfast and said, "Li Xiu didn't sleep all night. Yuechan and the others knew that he must have encountered some troubles. However, Li Xiu never liked to talk about this to his family. They don't ask, but they would urge Li Xiu to pay attention to rest and not hurt his body.
Although Li Xiu had no appetite now, he didn't want Yue Chan and the others to worry, so he forced himself to eat some. After breakfast, he ordered: "Please prepare a banquet, and guests will come to visit later!"
When the servant heard Li Xiu's orders, he felt a little strange, because Li Xiu had been in the study since last night, and no one had sent a message during this period. How did he know that there would be guests coming at noon? However, although the servant was strange, he did not dare to ask too much, and he would make preparations now.
After breakfast, Li Xiu finally felt a little sleepy, so he took a nap in the bedroom for a while. When it was almost noon, a servant came to report that a guest was visiting, which made Li Xiu hurry and briefly wash it up, and then quickly rushed to the front hall.
"Brother Wuji, I knew you were coming today. I have someone ready for a banquet. Let's have a chat while eating!" When Li Xiu entered the hall and saw Changsun Wuji restless in the hall, he couldn't help laughing. It seemed that he was not the only one who was scared by the news.
"You are so energetic, you are so energetic. How can I have the intention to eat now?" Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly at this time. He was not surprised that Li Xiu knew that he was coming, because he knew that Li Xiu must have received news like him, and he could only discuss this matter with Li Xiu.
Seeing the bitter smile on Changsun Wuji's face, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh, but he still asked someone to put the wine and food on it, and then sat opposite Changsun Wuji, then said: "I only know that Your Majesty summoned several famous Taoist priests to the palace yesterday, but I don't know what happened later. I don't know what His Majesty said when he asked those Taoist priests to enter the palace?"
Yesterday, Zhao Deyan came to see Li Xiu and told him a very important thing, that is, yesterday afternoon, Li Shimin suddenly summoned several famous Taoist priests to the palace. Originally, Taoism was the national religion of the Tang Dynasty. Even if the Tang Dynasty suppressed religion, it was nothing to summon a few Taoist priests to the palace. However, these Taoists all have one common feature, that is, they are famous for their good alchemy, which aroused Zhao Deyan's alertness and ran to Li Xiu overnight to discuss with him.
However, Changsun Wuji sighed repeatedly when he heard Li Xiu's words, and the expression on his face was very complicated. He opened his mouth several times and wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it in the end.
"Even if it is a big deal, you can't get along with your body. You still have to eat food!" Seeing that Changsun Wuji didn't say anything, Li Xiu didn't ask again, but advised him again. After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks and greeted Changsun Wuji. He knew that Changsun Wuji might be the same as him, and he didn't think about food from yesterday to now.
Seeing that Li Xiu was so calm, Changsun Wuji felt that he could not be weaker than him, so he gritted his teeth and picked up the chopsticks. However, after taking a few bites, he could no longer eat them. Finally, he threw the chopsticks and sighed repeatedly, and even a look of disappointment appeared on his face.
"Your Majesty summoned those Taoist priests to the palace yesterday and asked them if there was any technique of immortality in this world. However, although those Taoist priests are famous for refining alchemy, they are not very brave. At least they have not dared to deceive Your Majesty, so they all just said that their cultivation is too shallow and they cannot refine immortality pills, which made Your Majesty very disappointed." Changsun Wuji finally told the situation after Li Shimin met those Taoist priests yesterday.
"They are still tactful. Although this may make His Majesty unhappy, they finally saved their lives. Otherwise, they will definitely die in the future!" Li Xiu smiled when he heard Changsun Wuji's words.
"Brother Li, those Taoist priests dare not agree, but who can guarantee that there will be no bold people to deceive Your Majesty in the future? If Your Majesty really believes the words of those sorcerers, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty will be in chaos. Isn't the lesson of the Former Qin Dynasty enough?" Changsun Wuji said loudly with heartache at this time.
In fact, it is not scary for Li Shimin to summon several Taoist priests who refine alchemy. What is scary is that Li Shimin already has the illusory idea of pursuing immortality. If this matter is spread, sooner or later, there will be brave people coming to deceive Li Shimin. Now, as Li Shimin grows older and death is getting closer, his fear of death will only become greater and greater. At that time, he may be deceived by those sorcerers. Even if Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji persuade him, he may not listen.
Li Xiu couldn't help but show a silent expression when he heard Changsun Wuji's words. After a while, he said, "There is a saying that "no desire is hard." On the other hand, with **, he will naturally have weaknesses. During this period, Fang Xuanling was seriously ill, and the founding ministers were old or dead one by one, which also caused a huge blow to His Majesty, so he had the intention of seeking immortals and asking for Taoism, but there was not a complete solution."
"Brother Li, do you have a way to let Your Majesty dispel this thought?" Changsun Wuji was shocked when he heard Li Xiu's words. If someone else said such words, he would definitely not believe it, but Li Xiu's words forced him to believe it, especially in such a big event.
"I can't say that I have a solution. The most important thing about this is to depend on Your Majesty himself. All we can do is to give him a little stimulation and wake him up!" Li Xiu shook his head and smiled. He didn't sleep all night last night, just thinking about how to persuade Li Shimin, but in the end he only came up with a solution that was not a solution in the evening.
"No matter what method is, as long as it can be effective!" Changsun Wuji couldn't help but feel excited. After he knew that Li Shimin had the idea of immortality, he felt that he was completely indifferent. He was thinking about Qin Shihuang's pursuit of immortality, which led to the death of the second generation of Qin. Fortunately, Li Xiu could discuss this with him. No matter whether Li Xiu's method was effective or not, he would give it a try.
"Okay, then let's give it a try, but before that, we have to wait for someone to come back!" Seeing Changsun Wuji's support, Li Xiu spoke again.
