Chapter 1904 Asking for Remuneration
"Three nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum, four thousand-year-old ginseng root, half a catty of Julingcao, one catty of Tongxincao, five qian for raw bones, three liang of yellow lotus essence..."
The new emperor regretted asking Li Shaojun what medicine he needed to keep healthy.
He was not stingy about giving away rewards, but Li Shaojun mentioned dozens of medicinal materials, half of which he had never even heard of.
If it involves conventional big medicines, it is very convenient for Xintei to call them, but when it comes to unorthodox medicinal materials, only Anle Palace knows about it.
The Empress Dowager has been suffering from physical illness in the past two years and has been using various rare and powerful medicines.
The new emperor went to Anle Palace to ask for the unorthodox medicine. He was competing with the Empress Dowager for the medicinal materials. He would be considered to have the Chixiao Sword and treated the Empress Dowager harshly and unkindly, and deliberately consumed the medicine to make the Empress Dowager. The Queen Mother's body is having difficulty healing.
But I would be sorry for Li Shaojun if he didn't go to Anle Palace. After all, the other party risked his life to rescue him before he fell down and needed to rest.
No one will be loyal to an emperor who works hard to do things for the emperor but then throws his hands away after the emperor uses it.
Especially Xindi feels that Li Shaojun is a capable person and may need his help in the future.
This is a dilemma.
"Is this the medicinal material for the Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill?"
Xin Di thought for a few seconds before asking cautiously.
His question made Zhang Xuezhou's face change slightly, while Li Shaojun frowned slightly.
The reason why Zhang Xuezhou recruited Li Shaojun was because he was proficient in refining great medicines, including the Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill, which could cure all injuries.
However, the many drugs that Li Shaojun mentioned indiscriminately had nothing to do with the Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill, and many of them even had conflicting properties.
The new emperor doesn't know how to make alchemy, but as long as a senior alchemist uses these great medicines to make a few combinations, no matter how he refines them, it will just be a ball of poisonous dregs, and it will not become a panacea.
If these great medicines are summarized as needed for the Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill, there is no way they can actually refine such pills in the future.
“Some of these medicines are for healing external injuries, some are for healing internal injuries, some are for recuperating my cultivation, and some are for helping me prolong my life!”
Li Shaojun thought for a moment, I just talked about a lot of truths, but I didn't even mention all the functions of the elixir.
"Is there any medicine for extending life?" the new emperor asked curiously.
"Yes" Li Shaojun nodded and said: "The old Taoist once followed the master and met the immortal Anqi in the East China Sea. He told me some principles of the Golden Elixir Dao, so I will also refine some superficial ones. Medicinal pills, taken all year round This kind of medicine gives you a few more years of life!”
“Following the master An Qisheng? If An Qisheng is a master in the Great Qin era, aren’t you over a hundred years old?”
< br>The new emperor was surprised.
It is not uncommon for people to live to be a hundred years old. What is rare is that a hundred-year-old man like Li Shaojun was hit by a carriage and could still get up and run away with the carriage. He even ran as fast as a young man like Xin Di. , and they can also join forces to kill Gongsun Gui.
If he lived to be a hundred years old and was knocked down by a carriage, he could still run for several miles. Cintiq felt that this must be a great old age physique.
If you can cooperate with others to kill powerful enemies at an advanced age, that would be even more exciting.
He asked Li Shaojun his age, which made Li Shaojun pinch his beard and did not answer directly.
"The old Taoist has only lived for more than seventy years. He is old and ineffective, and his cultivation is not enough. He just has a little wider knowledge." Li Shaojun said: "Now that I am like this, no matter how much I can extend my life, It’s all in vain, I can’t live very long!”
Li Shaojun’s appearance through the aging technique is that of someone in his seventies.
At this time, he did not mention how much he had left in his "more than seventy years", and even modestly mentioned his lack of strength.
As long as Li Shaojun's status as an expert is established, his method of retreating to advance can play a good role in many situations.
This can characterize Li Shaojun as a person with knowledge, age, limited practical ability, and unique ability.
When Li Shaojun mentioned that he was in bad health after being injured and that there was no way to extend his life, this made the balance in the heart of the new emperor shift in favor. "I have never even heard the names of the medicinal materials that Daozhang Li needs. I may need to go to the palace to find out for you." The new emperor said: "You can rest assured and rest. I will help you find all the medicines as soon as possible."< br>
At this time, he bravely agreed and decided to go to Anle Palace to meet the Empress Dowager whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Excuse me, Lord Marquis!"
Li Shaojun was slightly startled. He didn't expect that his majesty could treat him nicely and kindly even after he mentioned a lot of things in vain.
After living for so many years, Li Shaojun saw the emperor look like this for the first time.
This was so far from the aloof emperor in his impression that it almost gave him an unreal feeling.
"I am weak and injured. I will stay at Dongfang Shuo's place for a while in the near future. If there is some inconvenience, I will go to the Andong Guesthouse in the east of Chang'an City. If my injury is unbearable, I will go to the mountains to collect medicine." Li Shaojun looked sincere. Said: "It would be best if the Marquis could come earlier!"
"Don't worry, I will enter the palace now!"
The new emperor nodded in agreement.
Li Shaojun did have a very good impression on the new emperor.
If some of the warriors from the military region were seriously injured, and the superiors made excuses and were unable to give an accurate reply, it would be normal for a riot to break out.
It's been a long time since he's seen such a monk who doesn't fight or grab.
The other party can accept it calmly when given the big medicine. There is no resentment if there is no big medicine. The other party will seek to solve the problem on his own.
The new emperor could not see any anger, dissatisfaction or other emotions in Li Shaojun's eyes. The other party seemed to be like the great monk he met by chance, but he also had good character, which led to the other party constantly reminding him and using treasures to save his life. , even though he was injured, he still helped to kill Gongsun Gui.
Under the combination of various factors, the new emperor was indeed willing to meet with the Empress Dowager to see if he could get something needed for Li Shaojun.
He greeted Li Guang, motioning for him to accompany him back to the palace, and ordered Wei Qing and others to burn Gongsun Gui's bones to ashes until the monks he invited to do the deeds arrived to eliminate all hidden dangers.
The new emperor led the people away in a hurry. Li Shaojun glanced at Zhang Xuezhou. The two looked at each other tacitly, breathing heavily in their hearts.
The current court is not in the hands of the new emperor, but they at least have an excellent impression on the new emperor.
"If he brings big medicine, we will have a lot more medicine," Li Shaojun moved his lips and said.
"That's because you have more." Zhang Xuezhou said angrily: "Several of the big medicines I want are not in it!"
"How do I know what you want? He didn’t even tell me what I needed!”
"This opportunity comes too hastily and urgently. I'm not even prepared. I can't communicate with you about this kind of thing!"
"I also want it casually, whichever is more valuable is more important!"
< br>Li Shaojun and Zhang Xuezhou looked at each other.
Things are done, but things seem not to be done.
They asked the new emperor for a lot of powerful medicine. It is one thing whether the new emperor can take it out.
And how to use them after taking them out will also be a headache.
How did the two of them know that by fooling and intimidating the new emperor, the other party would really have a problem with his back? After they intervened, they had been wandering on the run, without even thinking about getting paid.
After the incident was completed, Li Shaojun asked the new emperor for a bunch of extremely valuable medicines.
Whether it is suitable for two people is another matter.
