At The Beginning, Caishikou Beheaded, I Chose To Be Reborn
Chapter Seventy-Six: Self-Inflicted, Can't Live
Perhaps because of old age and weakness, Emperor Qian has not lived in the harem since seven or eight years ago.
He prefers to live in the newly built Dao Palace.
Built according to the orientation of the Eight Trigrams of the Nine Palaces, you can smell a strong scent of sandalwood as soon as you enter the palace.
The floor was paved with templates made of Lengxiang wood. When Quan Shaoze and his group knelt down to pay their respects, they could clearly smell the aroma of the wood.
"It turns out that Master Sizhong is back, I thought you would never come back!"
Emperor Qian's tone was not kind, and being woken up in the middle of the night, it was really difficult to have a good face.
So he always has a stinking face, and there is a violent meaning in his eyes.
The eunuchs who are familiar with him all know that Emperor Qian's state is the most terrifying, and he will kill if he disagrees.
So they all lowered their heads, not daring to take a breath, and tried their best to reduce the sense of own existence.
And the eunuch who was frightened by Quan Shaoze and went to wake Emperor Qian trembled slightly. Thinking about it now, he felt a little regretful. If Quan Shaoze couldn't come up with an answer that satisfied Emperor Qian today... , When he dies, he may be implicated even if he is dead.
So he cursed Quan Shaoze eight hundred times in his heart.
Quan Shaoze could clearly feel the dignified atmosphere in the Great Hall. Facing such a tyrant, he is not the only one who is walking on thin ice.
It's just that compared to the past, he is a little more calm now. Facing Emperor Qian's obviously unkind words, he bowed lightly and said in a leisurely manner.
"Your Majesty has entrusted me with great trust, and I dare not slack off for a moment. I rushed back from Xiaoning County on a starry night. Five people ran away and ruined ten horses. Fortunately, I replaced the horses at the post station, so I didn't miss a major event. I returned as quickly as possible. When we arrived in Fengdu... I didn't even return home, and went directly to the palace after entering the city, for fear of missing your Majesty's important event."
oh?
Emperor Qian frowned when he heard this.
He didn't really believe that.
He is not a fool, when he was in the court, "383" was considered a fan of the authorities, but after the court meeting, he gradually came back to it.
Quan Shaoze took the initiative to invite Ying, saying that he was looking for an immortal, but in fact, it is more likely to take the opportunity to avoid the limelight.
At that time, he wanted to take back the order, but when he sent someone to ask, he found out that after Quan Shaoze left the court meeting, he returned home, took his clothes with him and left the city immediately, without any delay.
In his heart, Quan Shao had almost been sentenced to death.
If you dare to abscond in fear of crime, die!
If you dare to return without success, die!
Quan Shaoze is just a small character he promoted on a whim, killing him is as simple as crushing an ant, and it doesn't even bring any pleasure to Emperor Qian.
"Do you think it's impossible if I don't remember the day? Hehe, it's been almost a month since you left Fengdu. After spending such a long time, how dare you make up a story about traveling across the starry night and killing a few horses?" Absurd words...do you really think that I am too old to discern loyalty and adultery?"
Emperor Qian smiled sullenly, the killing intent in his eyes was already intense to the extreme.
It seems that the next sentence will give the order to kill.
The eunuchs who are familiar with his temper have already begun to mourn for the five kneeling people at this time.
The imperial prestige is terrifying. If it were the former Quan Shaoze, he might have already been at war with each other, but after meeting Ye Yuan, his situation has opened up a lot, and his fear of imperial power has also weakened a lot, so although he is in the heart at the moment Fear, but still able to speak coherently.
"Your Majesty, please listen to me. The reason why I have been delayed for so long is not that I have deliberately delayed, but that I must show my sincerity to see Mr. Ye. I sat on the ground outside Ye's house, waited for many days, and drank a cup every day. Bowls of water, only one meal every two days, this is what moved Mr. Ye, and we were able to meet. The four palace guards can testify about this matter, and the officials and servants of the Xiaoning county government can all testify!"
"Who is Mr. Ye?"
Emperor Qian was taken aback, it was the first time he heard this name.
"It's the immortal I'm looking for on this trip!"
"What did you say? Immortal... Immortal?"
"Exactly, and I didn't know until I met Mr. Ye that he was the Daoist who was beheaded by the minister at Caishikou that day. After leaving Fengdu that day, he followed Mr. Zhuang Mo and Chen Zhuang who resigned from the position of admonishing the doctor." Went to Xiaoning County, and then settled there."
"What? Mr. Ye is the one from Caishikou? No, no, are you sure there are people in Xiaoning County?"
Emperor Qian couldn't sit still, his face showed a look of astonishment.
In fact, he didn't expect Quan Shaoze to find the immortal at all, because it was too remote.
After searching for immortals for so many years, he has never been able to see the true face of an immortal.
The reason why Quan Shaoze was sent was just a fluke in his heart.
Now Quan Shaoze keeps saying that the immortal who killed him really exists, but it makes him a little at a loss.
"There is indeed a fairy in Xiaoning County, and it is the one at Caishikou. The four palace guards can also testify to this... These are some things recorded by the minister. Please review them by Your Majesty."
While speaking, Quan Shaoze sent the record he made at the beginning.
This record is very detailed. It describes in detail what he saw and heard in the village under the jurisdiction of Xiaoning County. Because it is specific to a certain person and a certain household, it is very detailed. Qiandi, who has been reviewing memorials for many years, is very experienced. What is fabricated and what is true can often be seen at a glance.
As for Quan Shaoze's record, it was impossible to make it up. He almost believed half of it after reading half of it.
"There are really immortals in Xiaoning County! No wonder the entire eastern part of the country was affected by the disaster, but Xiaoning County was alone, and it was actually an immortal who made the move... Tao Fu, Spring Festival couplets, Mr. Ye, the immortal is called Mr. Ye
?"
Emperor Qian's palms were trembling uncontrollably, every wrinkle on his face was releasing excited messages, he took a few steps forward abruptly, and said in a trembling voice.
"Where is Mr. Ye, has he come back with you? Is he just outside the palace!"
There is actually a posture of wanting to greet him personally.
When the four palace guards saw this, their hearts tightened, and one of them stammered.
"Report, Your Majesty, Ye, Mr. Ye did not come with us."
silence.
There was a dead silence.
Emperor Qian's staring eyes were originally full of excitement and joy, but at this moment it receded a little bit, and what surged up was extreme anger.
He was so angry that he covered Own's chest, pointed at Quan Shaoze and was speechless.
Several eunuchs hurried forward to caress his chest and back for him to slow down, and then he heard Emperor Qian let out a roar that was almost like hatred.
"All! Less! Ze!"
"What do you think I am? Are you going to tell me the same story a second time!"
"The last time you saw a fairy, you didn't invite him back. This time you did it again, damn you!!!"
He gritted his teeth, and even grabbed the Tianzi sword himself, about to rush forward to kill.
At this moment, he felt as if he had been humiliated.
This person is taking me for a fool, for a fool!
"Your Majesty, I did meet the Immortal. Whether it was the first time or this time, I did not lie at all... It's just that the Immortal did not intend to see His Majesty. What can I do?"
Quan Shaoze got down on the knees, kowtowed, then raised his head and said.
"But this time, although the immortal did not come, he asked the minister to bring a pot of immortal wine to His Majesty.
!
Emperor Qian almost didn't lose his temper, he felt that Quan Shaoze seemed to be deliberately playing tricks on him, and he only said the important point at this moment.
"Immortal wine? What kind of immortal wine? Is it possible to obtain immortality?"
"This minister doesn't know, but I can be sure that immortal wine has infinite uses. It can almost regenerate a person, and it may also have the effect of prolonging life."
"How are you sure?"
"Because the minister has used it."
Only now did Quan Shaoze have the opportunity to explain the ins and outs of the whole matter.
...Originally, I was so weak that I didn't even have the strength to walk, but after drinking a glass of fairy wine, it was like being reborn, and the four guards in the palace almost died of exhaustion after driving back to Fengdu in the starry night. I just feel a little tired, so it can be seen that the immortal wine is indeed of great use to ordinary people like me!"
Emperor Qian quickly looked at the four guards.
Sure enough, they were exhausted, their faces were pale, especially the dark circles under their eyes were very obvious.
And what about Quan Shaoze? As he said, he was just a little tired.
"Where is the immortal wine?"
He swallowed his saliva, with endless desire and expectation in his voice.
Quan Shaoze took out the Calabash he carried with him and raised his hands.
A eunuch had already stepped forward, picked up Calabash and walked towards Emperor Qian.
Everyone in the Great Hall, including the four guards, couldn't help but look at the Calabash in the eunuch's hand.
"Is this immortal wine..."
Everyone is greedy and eager to snatch it. This is the immortal wine drunk by immortals. If you are lucky enough to take a sip...
Thinking of the fairy tales that have been passed down among the people, their mouths become parched.
It's just that they didn't lose their minds. In the end, they didn't dare to move at all. They watched Emperor Qian walk over tremblingly, with the attitude of a hungry tiger rushing to eat.
Hug Calabash.
"Immortal wine, four wines...
He muttered to himself, then whimpered, and hugged Calabash like he was hugging everything.
After searching for immortals for many years, he didn't know how much he had paid, and he was about to become a lunatic.
But now, the hope of longevity finally came to him.
Two lines of hot tears flowed rollingly.
He unplugged Calabash.
A strong scent of herbs came directly to the nostrils.
In an instant, the fatigue of getting up in the middle of the night was swept away.
The big eunuch next to him rolled his Adam's apple and couldn't help but stepped forward and said.
"Your Majesty, this old slave will test the wine for you, in case it is poisonous..."
But Emperor Qian didn't hesitate for even a second.
Wielding the Son of Heaven Sword, he drove all the eunuchs ten meters away like a madman.
The small Calabash in front of him aroused his unprecedented possessive desire.
He absolutely does not allow anyone to peep.
Even if it is his own son, don't even think about taking it away!
Seeing this, everyone felt envious in their hearts.
Emperor Qian has been looking for immortals for many years, and he thought it was just a void, but unexpectedly, it really made him become...
Only Quan Shaoze, who knew the inside story, didn't show any envy, just kept silent and watched with cold eyes.
Emperor Qian brought the most gorgeous wine glass and put it on the table.
Then he picked up the Calabash, shook it carefully, and it was indeed full of wine, he showed a satisfied smile, and he was in an extremely happy mood..
"Is that Mr. Ye? Offering the Immortal Wine of Longevity is meritorious. I want to canonize him as the Great Master of Protecting the Nation. I want to build the most magnificent and noble Dao Palace in the world for him. I want all the Taoists in the world to worship him as their Taoist master; Quan Aiqing, you have made amazing achievements, and I will not treat you badly. Only you and I drank the fairy wine in this world. This is the hint from heaven. From now on, you will no longer be a servant. I want to worship you as the prime minister, and I want to seal you as a marquis! And everyone present, everyone! There will be rewards for all..."
Emperor Qian laughed and made various promises
Throwing it out frantically as if you don't want money.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed down.
Only Quan Shaoze had the least reaction.
Qiandi laughed wildly.
What are these things worth?
Compared with Changsheng, it is not worth mentioning at all.
As if on a pilgrimage, he took the Calabash in both hands and poured it into the glass with a kind of reverence.
The crystal clear wine flowed slowly, and the rich aroma of the wine spread to the entire Great Hall, but Emperor Qian's expression froze.
Because there is not a drop of wine in the glass!
He clearly saw with his own eyes that the Calabash was filled with fairy wine, but why, when he poured it into the cup, there was not even a drop?
He raised his wine glass, his eyes showing a blank look.
"Is it my eyes?"
His eyes swept over everyone.
Everyone was even more confused than him.
"No, no...
An ominous premonition suddenly came to his mind, he raised the Calabash again and poured it into the cup.
But as before, there is still not a drop of wine in the glass.
But Calabash obviously felt lighter.
"impossible!"
Qiandi let out a growl, and he looked at the mouth of the Calabash with his eyes, and could see the liquid in motion.
There must be alcohol in here!
His nose, his eyes, the feel of his hands, he was 100% sure that the Calabash was full of booze!
"It's about the cup!"
Like a madman, he fetched more glasses, but still not a drop.
So the whole person became hysterical and poured it directly to his mouth, but still no trace of wine fell into his mouth...
"Monster, monster, that Mr. Ye is a monster, he deliberately played tricks on me!"
Emperor Qian roared, the ups and downs of life are too exciting.
How joyful and excited he was a moment ago, how frustrated and angry he is now.
Calabash was getting lighter and lighter, as if he really poured out a lot of wine, but he obviously didn't drink a drop from the beginning to the end.
He yelled at the defense and slammed Calabash to the ground.
clatter...
However, a lot of wine directly flowed out along the mouth of the Calabash, soaking the entire floor.
Seeing this, Emperor Qian was startled for a moment, then his face turned pale, and he threw himself on the floor in total disregard of his image, licking the floor like a hungry beggar.
But the wine that was originally flowing, as long as he touches it, it will turn into green smoke and disperse.
Just like the moon in the water, you can see it, but you can never touch it.
"Don't, don't!"
He tightly hugged the almost empty Calabash, almost crazy, crying and laughing 2.0 for a while, then looked at Quan Shaoze, his eyes full of pleading for help.
"Aiqing, Aiqing! Tell me, what does Mr. Ye mean?"
He had never been so broken in his life.
The hope of longevity is right in front of his eyes, but he can't reach it.
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to guess what Mr. Ye means, but Mr. Ye said a word and asked me to answer it on my behalf."
Quan Shaoze had already guessed that this would be the result, but when this moment really happened, he still couldn't bear to look directly at it.
Is this the Son of Heaven on high?
Is this the Nine-Five Lord who was ordered by heaven?
In front of Mr. Ye, what is the imperial power that everyone in the world fears?
"Quick, tell me!"
Qiandi roared and said.
"Mr. said: Your Majesty, being the Son of Heaven, is a great blessing, but your Majesty doesn't know how to be satisfied, and instead wants to live forever. Has Your Majesty ever seen an immortal king in this world?"
King? How can His Majesty take care of all the good things in the world?"
"What's more, Your Majesty has often built large-scale construction projects and overhauled palaces and temples over the past few years, but he has no scruples about the people's anointing; His Majesty ignores government affairs and seeks longevity
The indiscriminate killing of innocent people has caused everyone in the world to feel in danger, all Taoist priests have returned to vulgarity, and the court discipline has been lax and corrupt...."
"All kinds of crimes are too numerous to list. How can such a person deserve to live forever? As the saying goes, evils committed by heaven are still forgiven; evils committed by oneself are not allowed to live...Your Majesty, please do it yourself!!!"
Like an emotionless machine, Quan Shaoze memorized this paragraph in his mind, repeating the original words that he had silently recited countless times.
Everyone held their breath.
Looking at him like looking at a madman.
But Emperor Qian was stunned on the spot, dropping Calabash on the ground like a treasure in his hand, and rolled far away without noticing it.
"Heaven's sins are forgivable; self-inflicted sins cannot live..."
He muttered a few words.
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell straight down. .
