Chapter 538
"General Li doesn't know where His Majesty is? The old Taoist asked to see His Majesty." Taoist Jiu Ru said.
He felt that someone must have said something to Li Shimin, and he believed that as long as he explained clearly, it would be fine.
Li Junxian ignored him, and said to the guards on the side: "If anyone breaks in, shoot them to death!"
"Yes!"
The guards around stared at the Taoist priests sharply.
"You~" Jiuru looked at Li Junxian angrily.
It had been years since anyone had spoken to him like that.
Ever since he entered the palace to make alchemy for the emperor, from the emperor down to the princes and nobles, who is not polite to him?
Li Junxian didn't even look at him, turned and left.
These Taoist priests looked at each other and looked at each other.
"Go, go in first." Jiu Ru said with an ugly face.
When the group returned to the hall, one of the Taoist priests couldn't wait to say: "Jiuru Taoist priest, what is going on?"
"Ask me? I still want to know what's going on!" Jiuru said angrily.
Until now, he only knew that Li Shimin sent someone here, and he didn't know anything else.
However, the more this happened, the more people couldn't help but think about it, and the more they thought about it, the more flustered they became.
……
"See Your Majesty."
More than 20 of Li Shimin's confidants, including Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, felt very strange that Li Shimin suddenly called them to the imperial garden.
Li Shimin had summoned them in the Imperial Garden before, but since Li Shimin ordered to eradicate all the flowers and plants in the palace, he never summoned them in the Imperial Garden again.
But when they saw Li Shimin's ugly face, they all fell silent.
Even Cheng Yaojin, who was usually carefree in front of Li Shimin, put away the smile on his face.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said to Li Mu, "Feed me again."
"Yes."
Li Mu fed a chicken again according to the previous steps.
Changsun Wuji and others: ...
Could it be that His Majesty called us here to see and feed the chickens?
But seeing Li Shimin's face, no one dared to ask more questions.
Changsun Wuji saw a dead chicken on the ground not far away, and Li Shimin asked Li Mu to feed the chicken, his face changed, and he lost his voice: "Your Majesty, could it be?"
Li Shimin nodded expressionlessly.
All the people present were smart people. With the situation at the scene and Zhangsun Wuji's words, they all realized what had happened, and their faces changed drastically.
Of course, not everyone is aware of it, and there are also those who react slowly and haven't realized it yet, such as...
"I said Zhao Guogong, what kind of dumb fan are you playing?" Cheng Yaojin said dissatisfied.
Are you annoying to say half of what you say and leave the other half?
"The elixir is poisonous." Changsun Wuji said.
If Cheng Yaojin talked to him with this attitude, he wouldn't even bother to talk to him.
But now Changsun Wuji doesn't care about those anymore.
"The elixir is poisonous?" Cheng Yaojin exclaimed, "How dare you put poison in your majesty's elixir? Fortunately, your majesty's auspicious person has his own auspiciousness, so he discovered it in advance."
At this moment, the chicken that had been fed the elixir fell to the ground and twitched a few times, motionless.
"Your Majesty, have you ever caught the murderer who poisoned you?" Changsun Wuji asked.
"No one poisoned it, the elixir itself is poisonous." Li Shimin said.
"Your Majesty, this is impossible. Your Majesty has been taking this elixir for many years, and I have eaten a lot of it after being rewarded by His Majesty. It has been fine. How could the elixir itself be poisonous?" Changsun Wuji said in disbelief.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have been taking pills all the time, and there is nothing unusual about it."
All the people present had been rewarded by Li Shimin for the elixir. Now that Li Shimin told them that the elixir itself was poisonous, how could they believe it.
"I can't explain the reason. I rewarded Lin Xuan with the elixir before, but he refused. He advised me to eat less, and asked me to try the elixir with chickens and ducks. You have also seen it."
Li Shimin also thought about whether the pill was poisoned, but when he thought of Lin Xuan's expression at that time, he was very disgusted with the pill, like a scourge.
"Your Majesty is saying that Lin Xuan proposed that this elixir is poisonous? Your Majesty, why don't you call Lin Xuan to ask about it." Changsun Wuji said.
No one has discovered that the pill is poisonous for so long, how did Lin Xuan know?
It would be great if Lin Xuan could be related to this matter.
Lin Xuan was already valued by Li Shimin, if he was allowed to make meritorious service again this time, it would be worth it.
Changsun Wuji felt more and more that his position in Li Shimin's heart was not as good as before.
Lin Xuan didn't go anywhere when he got home, preparing to wait for the storm to pass.
However, he wanted to hide but couldn't, and within an hour after returning home, someone came from the palace.
Lin Xuan had no choice but to follow to the palace.
"I see Your Majesty, I have seen all the adults." Lin Xuan bowed and saluted.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I fed the elixir to the chicken as you said, but the chicken died within a cup of tea. Can you tell me why?"
"Isn't this obvious at a glance? The pill is poisonous, and the chicken will die after eating it." Lin Xuan said.
Li Shimin was a little speechless, did I not understand what I said, or did you have a problem understanding?
"What I'm talking about is why I was fine after taking the pill before, but why did the chicken die after eating it?"
"People don't die because they eat too little, but it's enough for chickens, and chickens die after eating them."
"Then why didn't the Marquis of Jingyang County remind His Majesty earlier?" Changsun Wuji asked.
Changsun Wuji's words changed the faces of many people present.
This sentence can be described as very sad.
Lin Xuanming knew that the elixir was poisonous, but he never said it out, so he was suspected of being an accomplice.
Lin Xuan naturally knew Changsun Wuji's sinister intentions, and said coldly: "Duke Zhao will really label me, how do I know His Majesty is eating this stuff?"
"That's right, although it's not a secret that His Majesty takes pills, it's not a well-known fact. Zichu really didn't know about it." Cheng Yaojin said loudly.
Li Shimin's elixir is an undisclosed secret, everyone who knows it knows it, and those who don't know it don't know it.
Compared with the emperor's pursuit of longevity, it is not a good thing, and it is not good for reputation if it is spread.
Therefore, no one discusses this matter below.
"Since this is the case, the old man would like to ask the Marquis of Jingyang County why he knew that the pill was poisonous." Changsun Wuji questioned.
You old Yinbi just want to kill me, right?
"I would like to ask Mr. Zhao, does Mr. Zhao know what materials are needed for alchemy?" Lin Xuan asked.
Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Although the old man doesn't know the details, I do know some things. It's nothing more than gold, silver, copper, iron, sulfur, saltpeter, etc."
"Zhao Guogong is very knowledgeable, so I wonder if Zhao Guogong thinks which one is edible? If Zhao Guogong likes it, I can give Zhao Guogong some more." Lin Xuan said lightly.
"You..." Changsun Wuji looked at Lin Xuan with a livid face.
What about me, just allow you to bully me, but not allow me to hate you?
I'm not your father, so I won't spoil you.
"Your Majesty, the so-called elixir is nonsense. If it is really useful, why don't those Taoist priests take it? They should tell your majesty that this elixir is too powerful to take too often?" Lin Xuan said.
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Yes, they said that if you eat too often, it will cause damage to your body, and you can only eat one a month."
"That's right, if His Majesty eats three or five pills every month, I'm afraid..."
Li Shimin's face was gloomy and terrible when he heard the words, and he said coldly: "You all follow me to the Hidden Immortal Pavilion, and see those Taoist priests who have worked so hard to make alchemy for me."
"Take those pills with you."
