Li Yuangong is really old now.When Gu Cheng left the capital nearly a year ago, Li Yuangong at that time killed his son with his own hands because of the failure of refining the immortal elixir.At this time, Li Yuangong's hair was all white, and even most of his hair had fallen out, and the whole person had a heavy twilight on his body, it could even be said that it would not be strange for Li Yuangong to die at any time Gu Cheng now.Seeing Gu Cheng coming, Li Yuangong's eyes suddenly showed a hint of anticipation.He asked Gu Cheng to find the Endless Wonderland, but he didn't have much hope for himself.But now that Gu Cheng is back, maybe this hope will really come true?"
Gu Cheng, have you ever found the Endless Wonderland?"
Gu Cheng bowed and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Endless Immortal Realm has been found, but unfortunately there is no elixir of immortality in it. ”As he spoke, Gu Cheng told Li Yuangong about the things in the Endless Immortal Realm, but he concealed many things.Including everything he did in the southwest, Gu Cheng also pinched his head and said it again.Anyway, in his description, he is the loyal and patriotic Gu Chang'an, who has worked hard to eradicate moths for Daqian and find the elixir of immortality for His Majesty.However, Li Yuangong didn't have the heart to listen to these things now, and after hearing that there was no immortal elixir in the Endless Immortal Realm, his eyes suddenly dimmed.With a long sigh, Li Yuangong waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know all this, and you can discuss those things in the southwest with the commander of the Jingye Division to deal with them later." ”In Li Yuangong's current state, he doesn't even have the energy to handle government affairs normally.At this time, Gu Cheng asked, "Your Majesty, how should the position of the minister be handled at the moment?"
”At present, Gu Cheng is still the supervisor of the four counties in the southwest, the problem is that he has returned to the capital now, but it is a little awkward to still sit in this position.Li Yuangong frowned, because he hadn't thought about how to arrange Gu Cheng.The power of the supervision envoys of the four southwestern counties is too great, and it is obviously inappropriate to give Gu Cheng an ordinary supervision envoy.If Gu Cheng could bring back the immortal elixir, he could even make an exception to promote Gu Cheng to the commander, but now it is obviously not possible.Seeing Li Yuangong's hesitation, Gu Cheng suddenly sneered in his heart, what His Majesty said before sounded good, in fact, he only cared about the immortal elixir, obviously he never thought about how to arrange Gu Cheng.At this time, Gu Cheng suddenly thought of something, and he asked, "Your Majesty is in a very bad state now?"
”Li Yuangong nodded weakly, and Chen Gonggong, the chief administrator of the inner house, who was standing beside Li Yuangong, shook his head and said, "Isn't it good?"
His Majesty has not closed his eyes for several days, and the doctor has been administering medicine every day, but the effect is not very good. ”Gu Cheng said at this time: "Your Majesty, when the minister was in the southwest, he broke through Miao Jiang, so that Miao Jiang completely surrendered to my big cadres, and I also got some things from Miao Jiang."
Although the Miao Jiang Gu Technique is poisonous, there are also some Gu worms for healing, where did I get a Miao Jiang Gu Pill, which can relieve His Majesty's pain. ”As he spoke, Gu Cheng took out the mirage that had consumed all his power.The power of this thing has been completely depleted, and now there are only some negligible spiritual powers left, which can produce hallucinations and avoid pain, but in fact, it has no healing effect on its own injuries.This thing is naturally useless to Gu Cheng, but Li Yuangong can use it at this time.For Li Yuangong now, anything that can alleviate his pain is enough to drive him crazy.He subconsciously wanted to grab the mirage, but Gonggong Chen stopped him in advance and said, "Your Majesty, you need to test it before taking it." ”Saying that, Gonggong Chen said to Gu Cheng: "Don't be surprised by Lord Gu, our family is not suspicious of Lord Gu, but the rules are like this." ”Gu Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, father-in-law, please." ”As he spoke, Gonggong Chen called several imperial doctors and asked them to carefully check if there was anything wrong with the mirage.Several imperial doctors looked at it cautiously for half an hour, and the last oldest doctor said: "This thing is not toxic in any way, and its strength is not too strong, Your Majesty can withstand it now."
But I don't think this thing seems to have any alien power leaking, it feels like a monster Neidan but it doesn't look like it, it's weird. ”These imperial doctors in the capital are also cultivators, but they are cultivators who specialize in the way of medicine, but with their eyesight, they can't recognize this legendary mirage, especially the mirage whose strength has been exhausted.Gonggong Chen didn't say anything, as long as this thing was harmless.After Li Yuangong swallowed the mirage, he suddenly narrowed his eyes, his mental power was soothed, even though his body was still weak, but the pain on his body disappeared but he couldn't help but moan softly.When he looked at Gu Cheng again, Li Yuangong suddenly felt that the person in front of him was much more pleasing to the eye.You must know that he has been suffering from illness for several months, and these imperial doctors of Daqian dare not give drastic medicine, but it doesn't work if it is light, which makes him feel painful.Coughing, Li Yuangong said: "Gu Cheng, even if you didn't find the immortal elixir this time, you have also solved the shortcomings of the southwest land for so many years, and you have performed well."
Now that you have left the southwest, you are indeed not suitable for the position of the inspector of the four southwestern counties.But at present, because of your lack of qualifications, if I force you to give it to you, I am afraid that it will also attract criticism.In this way, from now on, you will be the chief inspector of the capital, and your power is equivalent to that of the commander, and you are qualified to command any security inside the capital, and at the same time, you can also override any supervision envoy and pacification envoy outside, and have a higher level of supervision power.It just so happened that I was preparing to re-establish the crown prince recently, and there were also a lot of people from the Taoist and Buddhist sects in the capital.You and Hong Dingshan did a good job in the Supervision Department before, and this time you will be in charge of these. ”After receiving Gu Cheng's benefits, Li Yuangong was much more generous when he initiated power.Just like Li Yuangong said now, the power in Gu Cheng's hands is almost equivalent to that of the commander, and it can even be said that he is the first person under the commander.Except that he doesn't have the title of a commander, he also has what a commander should have.And in view of the reason why Gu Cheng jumped out to escort the driver first last time, he, a loyal and patriotic escort expert, is very stable in Li Yuangong's place.So this time Li Yuangong didn't hesitate much, and handed over the security of the capital to Gu Cheng again.But at this time, Li Yuangong suddenly said: "Gu Cheng, I heard that you are very close to the fourth child?"
”Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "To be precise, the minister is very close to the Nine Emperor Princes, the Nine Emperor Princes have an approachable personality, and the ministers are also friends with him."
It's just that the Nine Emperors are the people of the Four Princes, so the ministers also have some contact with the Four Princes. ”Li Yuangong nodded lightly and said, "That's fine, Gu Cheng, you are my person, you don't need to stand in line for such a thing as the battle for the throne."
In the future, no matter who ascends to the throne, as long as I tell him that you are a trusted confidant of the Great Qian, he will definitely reuse you. ”Gu Cheng lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers are only loyal to the Great Qian, and whoever is the emperor of the Great Qian, the ministers will be loyal to whom." ”Hearing Gu Cheng say this, Li Yuangong nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's best that you can think like this, okay, you have a lot of travel all the way back from the southwest, rest for a few days before taking office." ”And the minister withdrew.Gu Cheng bowed and saluted, but when he turned his head, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.Li Yuangong still looked sick before, but now that he had just eliminated the pain by relying on the mirage, he began to beat Gu Cheng.However, Gu Cheng also understood why the fourth prince was in such a hurry to call all the people from the Heavenly Alliance, I am afraid that it was not only the pressure from the second prince's side, but Li Yuangong's heart was afraid that he had already made a choice.The reason is very simple, if Li Yuangong chose the Four Princes, then there would be no need for him to beat Gu Cheng now.It is likely that in his heart, he is already ready to choose the second prince, so he will knock Gu Cheng and ask him to keep a distance from the fourth prince, and don't do anything out of the ordinary.After Gu Cheng left, Li Yuangong sat there with a dull gaze.After a while, he suddenly said, "Gonggong Chen, do you think I can survive this time?"
”Gonggong Chen sighed, but he still comforted: "Your Majesty, rest assured, three of the five Great Dao Sects this time said that the method of the Immortal Qin Dao Gate works, and it should also be useful." ”"But the Lu Zhangjiao of the Taixuan Dao Sect is not sure about this.""
Your Majesty has forgotten the history of the Taixuan Daomen?
The Taixuan Dao Gate was just a branch of the ordinary Dao Gate before, and the real rise was only five hundred years like my Da Qian, while the Xianqin Dao Gate can be traced back to five thousand years ago, and it is normal for Lu Zhangjiao to be unsure and not dare to talk nonsense. ”Hearing Gonggong Chen say this, Li Yuangong seemed to be completely relieved, and lay on the bed and fell asleep.He hadn't closed his eyes for a few days before, but now he could finally sleep.It's just that the dreams brought by the mirage are just sweet dreams, but his vitality is constantly passing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.As soon as Gu Cheng came out of the imperial city, he saw a team of Taoist priests driving chariots and horses into the city, with a huagiro umbrella, and there was no shortage of all kinds of pomp and circumstance, among which the leader Gu Cheng was very familiar, and it turned out to be Zhao Dansheng of the righteous faction!
Gu Cheng was stunned, he had just returned to the capital, and the Zhengyi faction had arrived in the capital so quickly?
At the same time, Zhao Dansheng also saw Gu Cheng, which made him frown slightly.Although he didn't succeed in robbing Gu Cheng last time, he didn't hate Gu Cheng because of this.It's just that as soon as he saw Gu Cheng, he thought of the scene where he was defeated by that mysterious person in the Bashu Jungle before, which was a blow to his Dao heart.So he waved his hand directly, led people to ignore Gu Cheng directly, and entered the city from another direction.
