Chapter 152 Red Arrow Powder(1/2)

At this time, it was impossible for Cui Wei to be unmoved at all.

Li Longji's current situation is very bad. Some people use boating against the current to describe difficulties, but they cannot describe Li Longji's difficulties in front of him. If you describe it, Li Longji's small boat not only sails against the current, but also goes upstream in the Three Gorges, and wants to find a boater to pull, but he has not found it.

Therefore, he calculated Li Longji's chips in his heart, then Princess Taiping's chips, and finally made a claim.

He had a small plan in his heart, but his face became more and more serious. Even Wang Hua would think that he was thinking about how to deal with Dou Huaizhen.

After a while, he replied, "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor is not too old and has great power. Dou Huaizhen and others are in a mess. There is also... Your Majesty, it's better to be cautious."

This sentence is answered in a proper manner, but it is far from what Li Longji wants.

But Cui Shi immediately fell down and said, "If Your Majesty summons me, I will never refuse."

This was just a handful of words, and the disappointment in Li Longji's eyes did not disappear.

He said, "You go."

Although Cui Shi used his loyalty to die, Li Longji saw his head and rat at a glance. He was not afraid of him being informed. First, he only said Dou Huaizhen, not Princess Taiping, and secondly, he just said that he wanted to support the court, not to kill people. Besides, his opposition to Princess Taiping has now become public, so there is no need to cover up this.

Of course, Cui Xi immediately notified Princess Taiping, and he had no choice. Cui Xi is now a dignified prime minister, and he truly possesses great power. If there is no sufficient reason, he cannot just kill him.

Cui Xi walked out, and he was also in a cold sweat. Although Li Longji was wise, he would not do anything to him. But if Li Longji was in trouble, he might not be able to walk out of his palace.

When he returned home, his younger brother Cui Di walked out.

Before he left home, when he heard Li Longji's call, his younger brother Cui Di said to him: "The Lord has any questions, don't hide it."

Like Choi Shi, Choi Di is very delicate and writes a good poem, but unlike Choi Di, Choi Di usually likes to joke. But when she says this, her tone is very solemn.

After all, they are two brothers.

As soon as Cui Xi came back, Cui Di immediately asked, "What did the Lord talk to you?"

He did not call His Majesty. In fact, Li Longji is still not qualified to make people truly call His Majesty.

Cui Xi said the matter before and after, Cui Xi was shocked when she heard it and said, "Brother, you did a big mistake this time. The moon has lost for a long time, and it must be full. The winter has lasted for three or four months, and it is also time for spring to come. Since the Empress Dowager took office, she has killed countless royal ministers and generals, and consolidated her status. That's it. In her later years, she began to restrain herself. However, it was not long before Wei Shuren was in charge of the government, and countless loyal ministers were forced to leave the court. Even the King of Gongxian was forced out.

Luoyang fled to the northwest. The battle last year, the world was decided. But the good times did not last long. Princess Taiping was once again indulged in the emperor's indulgence. Now the court has regained the chaos of the first dragon. After so many things, the righteous people in the world will make this happen again? Although the Lord is very powerful now, where is the momentum? As long as you follow this trend, it is like spring breeze and rain, moistening things silently, and there is no need to force it. Unconsciously, you can quickly recover all things on the earth. Brother, you have to think twice."

Cui Di vaguely felt that Princess Taiping could not succeed this time, but it was difficult for him to explain clearly the general trend of the world.

Therefore, I had to say these somewhat mysterious and convincing words.

Cui Xi didn't listen.

Seeing his brother leave, Cui Di was very disappointed.

But this also shows that the struggle has become increasingly fierce now, and even the two brothers have begun to stand on different sides.

Cui Di's persuasion did not persuade Cui Shi well, but instead had a counterproductive effect.

Although he defected to Princess Taiping, Li Longji did not accept such a large olive branch this time. Therefore, he did not want any accidents to happen. If it was really like what my brother said, everything would turn back, the yin energy began to dissipate, and the yang energy began to spread, and what should I do if Princess Taiping failed?

Others may be able to escape. What will happen if they clearly reject Li Longji?

Therefore, Princess Taiping immediately notified this matter.

Princess Taiping was shocked when she received the news.

Li Dan's idea was good. He gave Li Longji a name, but he had no right. Without right, there would be no threat to Li Dan's status. But this power must be released, and to whom? So he gave it to Princess Taiping. She was just a woman. Although she had the right, the position of the emperor had been given to Li Longji, and she did not have this name.

Don't underestimate this name, it's really important.

This is why Wang Hua immediately changed his strategy when Li Chongjun was insatiable.

Without reputation, unless Princess Taiping rebelled, the first Princess Taiping made him believe that the second one was his father and son, and Princess Taiping did not have the courage to do so.

So Princess Taiping is worried now, but there is no good idea. So she summoned several of her confidants, including Cui Shi, who made great contributions because of the news of the news.

There is also the emerging king Li Jin, who is the same royal family as Li Longji. His ancestors were Li Yuan’s party brothers, and they were from Li Sixun and later Li Linfu. This is a bit far away. However, because Wu Zetian massacred, there were not many royal families in the direct line. In addition, he was very talented and as the chief minister of Yongzhou, he had many achievements, so he made him the emerging king.

He knew that the right Yulin General Li Ci, the left Jinwu General Li Qin, the prime minister Cen Xi, Dou Huaizhen, the crown prince Taibao Xue Ji and others.

There were not only several prime ministers, but also important generals in the Yulin Army, as well as officials holding important positions.

Looking at these people, Cui Shi immediately forgot his younger brother's words behind his mind. This is the real power. Like Li Longji, when discussing important matters, there were only some small officials, some eunuchs and slaves. What big things can they accomplish?

Princess Taiping immediately told the news that Cui Shi had sent, and then looked at everyone.

These people hold important positions, each of them is very cunning, and they don’t speak after hearing this.

Princess Taiping looked at Cui Xi, and in practice she was very displeased with this person.

This man first got the opportunity for his first promotion after joining Wu Sansi, and then threw himself into Guan Wan'er's arms. For this reason, he wrote a poem to Shangguan Wan'er.

No matter how good you are, you will see your new makeup in the mirror. The beauty is still in spring, and the love is already in autumn.

The pillow is next to the dawn of the window, and the curtain is facing the sky of the moon. Every year, the chrysanthemum trees are thriving in the deep palace.

This poem for selling one is very touching, and he is trying to speak fair words for Shangguan Wan'er and win her favor. It should be said that he got the purpose.

Later, Shangguan Wan'er really fell in love with this person.

If this person had left his character aside, his stinky skin was definitely not worse than Wang Hua. Moreover, he came from the famous Cui family in Boling, and his younger brother Cui Ye and Cui Di were both extremely beautiful and his literary talent were even more outstanding. After gaining power, Cui Xi often held a night banquet at home, boasting that his family was like Wang Xie of the Jin Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Wang Hua made a fuss. Because he considered Wang Hua's feelings, Shangguan Xiaowan took the initiative to stay away from this person. So he began to glancing at Princess Taiping again. But he didn't expect that Wang Hua made another fuss. After learning from the pain, he had no way to give in, so he had to flatter Li Guer.

This step was wonderful, but later, it saved his life.

Later, Zhu Wei was executed, and Princess Taiping felt that Li Longji was strong, so she remembered this person again. At this time, as Wang Hua thought, she had already lost her eyes for the power fanatic and forgot Wang Hua's attitude towards Cui Xi at the beginning.

But Wang Hua's subtle influence still exists, so Princess Taiping actually does not have a good impression of this person. However, she did not expect that because Li Longji was trying to win over, Cui Xi became important instead.

Therefore, she felt a little disgusted in her heart, but she smiled gently and said, "Mr. Cui, please tell me again about the situation of His Majesty's conversation with you that day."

When she mentioned the word "Your Majesty", Princess Taiping gritted her teeth.

Now that he betrayed Li Longji, only Princess Taiping was left, Cui Shi had a charming look on his face and said, "As long as the princess's orders."

So he started to talk about Li Longji and him vividly again, and even the situation of Li Longji bowing to him was exaggerated. Finally, he said: "Your Highness, Princess, I have made a statement. According to my opinion, the Lord is very dissatisfied with the princess. It is obvious that he is dealing with Xianggong Dou, but in fact he wants to deal with Your Highness. And this time is not far away. I dare to ask the princess to prepare immediately to prevent it from happening."

After hearing this, Li Ci also began to flatter and said, "Your Highness, Princess Cui's words are reasonable. No one hurts the tiger's will, and no tiger hurts the hearts."

"So in your opinion, how should I deal with it?"

The two of them stopped talking.

Li Longji wanted to kill Princess Taiping, but he had a reputation for doing it. After all, he was the emperor. As long as Li Longji had this ability, Princess Taiping had this ability but killed Li Longji. Even the Yulin Army, she also had most of the control, but she did not have this status. If she dared to raise trouble, Li Longji would have no choice but to live in the world. As long as he stood on the city tower and shouted like Li Xian, it was possible that the army would turn against him in the face of the battle.

Therefore, Princess Taiping has always advised Li Dan to abolish Li Longji, but she did not dare to move troops.

Until now, Princess Taiping has never really had the idea of ​​killing Li Longji. Of course, if Li Longji was successfully deposed by Li Dan under the instigation of Princess Taiping, then Li Longji would be in danger. The reason why he is now tense is that Li Longji is determined to kill first. Moreover, what he asked was not human, so he asked Cui Shi to discuss it, otherwise Princess Taiping would not know.

It is precisely because of Cui Xi's rumor and further instigation and exaggeration in order to gain Princess Taiping's favor that the situation has become increasingly tense.

Princess Taiping saw that everyone was silent, so she clapped her hands and walked out from behind the curtain a middle-aged palace maid wearing coarse cloth clothes.

Everyone doesn't know each other, only Cui Shi looks very familiar.

Princess Taiping said, "This person is Yuan, the palace maid who serves His Majesty."

"The princess is wise," Li Ci said with a slump.

Li Ci is very good at writing. According to Wang Hua's words, if he ranks, he can be among the top 100 calligraphy masters in the Tang Dynasty. He has one of the calligraphy on the Kallop of Jiuzhou. However, his character is worse than Cui Xi, and he is even more flattering.

In Zhu Tong's words, at least one-third of the writing of calligraphy, painting, poetry and essays for Jiuzhou Zhiding are not selected according to their character.

Wang Hua said a fair saying: "It is not so. If it is a gentleman who is poor and unchanged, rich and noble, and powerful, how many people can do it. For the sake of wealth and honor, the master likes loyal words, and the ministers will naturally make loyal words to seek progress, just like Pei Ju's affairs in Sui Mei's affairs in Tang Zhi. If the master likes ignorance, most ministers will make progress. Don't talk about the differences between the emperors, even if an emperor likes loyal ministers when he has done something, then the ministers will be loyal. If the emperor likes ignorance and charming when he is arrogant, then the ministers will be charming. For example, Fuchai first relies on Wu Zixu and become a domineering spring and autumn. When the late years become dark, he will use Bo Ju and kill Wu Zixu, which is the same principle."

After all, it is the emperor's right or wrong.

Looking for loyal ministers like Bigan Yuefei, let alone the whole world, even looking at history, how many ministers can do this? First of all, Wang Hua would not be such a loyal minister.

But although Li Ci was flattering, Princess Taiping unknowingly bought all the palace maids served by Li Longji. It’s a pity that Li Longji is actually in the valley. This method is not to mention the right or wrong, which makes people admire him.

The palace maid lies on the ground to salute.

Princess Taiping helped her up with a smile and said, "Why do you use such a great gift? Just sit down and talk."

He helped her to sit down next to him.

But Yuan just sat on a small deflection angle in the chair carefully.

Princess Taiping said again: "Yuan, how are your Majesty in good health now?"

"Your Majesty is in good health, but he has a headache during this period. He gives red arrow powder every day to relieve the pain." Yuan replied in a low voice.

Red Arrow Powder is Gastrodia elata powder. Because its stem is red like an arrow shaft, it is also called Red Arrow. The emperor Li Longji was irritated and headaches were reasonable. However, Li Longji took a bowl of red Arrow Powder every morning, which is not just used to relieve headaches.

In the past, Gastrodia elata has always been regarded as a magical medicine for wind treatment, but it is also a tonic. Shen Kuo once said that in addition to Wuzhi, red arrows should be the first, and this is the best medicine for the conditioning and health preservation of the gods.

Therefore, Li Longji likes to take a bowl of red arrow powder in the morning and then go to court to discuss matters. One is to stop headaches and the other is to treat the body.

When Yuanshi talked about this, she didn't know, but everyone's eyes lit up when they heard it. Then Yuanshi continued to talk about the living habits she knew about Li Longji, and no one listened to them completely.

After she finished speaking, Li Ci asked, "What are you doing in the palace?"

"I just cleaned the laundry and wiped it, and my position was low." At this point, she looked at her clothes.

If he has a noble status, he will not wear this coarse cloth dress.

But don’t underestimate these little people. Often, a small person’s actions can make these big people successful or fail.

Princess Taiping immediately ordered someone to take out one hundred taels of gold and a few gold ingots, not much, and picked it up with one hand. For Princess Taiping herself, this little money is not much, but for this palace maid, it is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.
