Chapter 28 Immortal Pill

Soon Zhou Yun understood that Xue Chongxun had no intention of interrogating her.

He turned to Sanniang and said: Yuwen Xiao is not a foreign minister, he is also very committed. Besides, this girl looks really good, so why should I refuse?Are you unhappy to look at me like this?

Sanniang finally spoke: Yuwen Xiao is not a good thing, and he can't do anything good. Xue Lang really might as well take care of the inner factory to Bai Qimei, so as not to affect too many innocent people... Xue Lang looked down on this little girl, what qualifications do I have to manage?However, Xue Lang wants to execute her father and family, aren’t he afraid that she will be detrimental to you when she gets close?I can't leave here.

Zhou Yun said in surprise: The official just now clearly stated that he would let my family go if he asked clearly!

Xue Chongxun said: Do you believe his words?Your father Zhou Ji defected to someone who was plotting against the rebels, and his treacherous plan and surrendered, causing the Hebei Road Chief Li Yi to die in battle and die in his country. Li Yi is my loyal minister and a relative of the prime minister in the court... Do you still think Zhou Ji can survive now?His sins are too great, and his family cannot be spared; plus he deceived the monarch and married the thief leader, your family will not be able to survive.

When Zhou Yun heard him talking about hundreds of lives in a straightforward tone, his face suddenly turned pale and subconsciously defended: My father was forced, and I was forced by the thief...

Xue Chongxun stood up and approached slowly, saying: If you still want to say this, why don’t I ask the official just now to examine you? I can guarantee that as long as he issuing an order to take you away, he will definitely find dozens of men to "interrogate" and feed the dogs after torture to death.

You... Zhou Yun's shoulders trembled.

Xue Chongxun walked to her without any extreme or light actions, and his tone was calm: As long as you follow me, I can at least place you in the Daming Palace Jiaofangsi. Of course, that place is not better than being an official lady, but it is finally a luxury.

Your Majesty, please let the people from the Zhou Mansion go.Zhou Yun suddenly fell to the ground and said in a pleading tone.

Xue Chongxun was speechless and sighed slightly.

Zhou Yun's tears flowed down, and she still wanted to beg, but she had figured it out that nothing was possible.

A person who wants to take over his country is extremely gangster. What will happen if he is caught? The people who have no knowledge of this era know that they will be exterminated. Conspiracy to rebel is the first major crime of the imperial dynasty.

She choked and said: Your Majesty will give me a death, I don’t want to live alone.

Xue Chongxun gently held her arm, and the armor was driven to a clang. His tone suddenly changed and became gentle. He persuaded him kindly: You don’t need to hate me. Since I am the emperor, how can I forgive others for rebellion? Otherwise, if the people in the world are dissatisfied, they will rebel. Will this Central Plains become a battlefield? More people will die?

He stretched out his hand tentatively, and saw that she had no overreaction, he gently wiped her tears with his fingers, feeling skin contact but not much lightness.

He continued to fool: Zhou Ji is greedy for life and fear of death and surrenders to the rebellious party, and you don’t need to be responsible for the lives of the Zhou family.You think you are the sinner of the thief's wife, I forgive you, why do you die?

Zhou Yun shook his head vigorously, burst into tears and couldn't speak.

Xue Chongxun's hand slowly moved down and began to stroke her face. At this time, Sanniang suddenly said: Take the hairpin on her head first.

Xue Chongxun said angrily: I'm wearing armor!

……

Zhou Yun was placed in the inner courtyard of the yamen. She could no longer get out of bed and probably wouldn't have the energy to commit suicide for a while.

Xue Chongxun did not use violence. He would not be strong unless he had to treat beautiful women. He was willing to use all kinds of tricks and coercions.

Xue Chongxun consolidated the army in Huazhou and divided the prisoners of war and handed over to local regiments to train envoys to redeem the number of people.

At this time, Zhang Wulang arrived in Youzhou and was in charge of the major event of opening the Great Wall. Many officials from the Ministry of Works have already gone.

Zhang Wulang wrote another memorial to Huazhou to report military and political affairs. A month ago, the cavalry in Yingzhou dispatched to attack various pastures on the territory of Khitan and Xi, causing them to lose a lot of livestock and tents, with the purpose of making Khitan Xi have worries and dare not take the opportunity to attack Youzhou.

When Xue Chongxun learned about the situation, he abolished the intention of tutoring the Shence Army to go north to fight against the nomadic cavalry. The black gunpowder weapon was too bulky and inconvenient to mobility. If it was very troublesome to enter the grassland to fight, it would be better to ask Zhang Wulang to deal with them.

Cui Qigao never caught him, and he didn't know if he died, because there were many corpses along the Yellow River after the war, and the weather was hot and rotting quickly.

However, the thief's leader has become a fugitive again and has lost the threat.

In mid-June, Xue Chongxun ordered the governor of Yunzhou to temporarily lead Huazhou to maintain order, waiting for the court to be transferred to a new governor to form an official. At this time, the Shence Army began to return to Guanzhong.

When the imperial guards returned in triumphal return, Du Xian's good news came again, and the northwest victory was great. The Mo tribal alliance expressed that he wanted to send envoys to Chang'an to thank him.The victory in the East and West China and the two battles reduced Xue Chongxun's pressure sharply.

……

The fortifications of the Hebei defense line have begun; the new imperial examination chaired by Su Jin will officially begin in the fall of the fourth year, and he is now forming various academic and political education.The two major things that Xue Chongxun persistently wants to do are currently progressing smoothly.

By August, tribes of all ethnic groups in the northeast who could not bear the long-term harassment of Yingzhou cavalry, sent envoys to Chang'an to negotiate peace. Tubo was unable to launch a second battle and sent envoys to repair relations.

The Turks, Uighurs and Bohai Khanate hoped to be peaceful for a long time with the Jin Dynasty, and wrote a letter to respectfully call the emperor of the Jin Dynasty the Tiankang Khan and the Princess Taiping the Tianxian Zhenjun.

Many countries sent people to Chang'an to eat and drink, but Xue Chongxun ignored them and almost never showed up. However, Princess Taiping was very happy with this situation and held a state banquet in Linde Hall to grandly entertain envoys from various states.

At this time, the threats around the Jin Dynasty had been basically eliminated, the border was peaceful, and the country was gradually stable, and he could no longer find anything big to do.

The Arab Empire in the west is too far away, and it is not very meaningful to expand westward. Even if it wins, it will definitely break away from the control of the central court. The Central Plains have always believed in a unified regime. He also thought about destroying the island state of the East China Sea, but they had already lived a hard life. Xue Chongxun understood that it is better to die than to eat enough for life, and it is not so easy to cross the sea to conquer it. No one agrees with the waste of national strength and the common people. He only feels that the emperor's mind is: the East China Sea worships the Jin Dynasty as the kingdom of heaven, and crys and shouts that he will worship the Jin Dynasty as the sect leader country, and wants to pay tribute to Chang'an every year. The envoys sent here are even more close to the emperor when they see the emperor than when they see me.

In such a country, Xue Chongxun wanted to send troops to attack and could not even find an excuse, let alone explain it to the people of the world.

The process of Wanghua's mountainous areas in the southwest and northeastern prefectures is very slow, and it is impossible to be anxious. The occupation of Yingzhou as a base is the beginning of this long-term process.

The world was peaceful, and Xue Chongxun also calmed down.

He does not like to build palaces, does not like to waste financial resources, does not pay attention to delicacies, does not love rare treasures, does not believe in gods or ghosts, does not have any beliefs, and he is only going to eat and wait for death. However, Princess Taiping is determined to live forever and is a person who has a lot of pursuit.

Xue Chongxun saw that she was calm and happy, and couldn't help but be very envious. He also observed that there was no wrinkles on her face, which was abnormal. Sometimes he was wondering if there was a real god, but he really found it difficult to believe it. He only thought that there was heavy metal in the elixir, but Princess Taiping believed it very much, and no one could persuade her and dared not persuade her.

One day he went to Chengxiang Palace Star Tower to greet him. Princess Taiping was practicing and couldn't even see him, so he sat on a chair and waited.

I saw a large cauldron in the middle of the hall, and the smoke was shrouded in smoke, as if it was refining alchemy. Various pictures were hung on the walls around me. Looking out from the window, I saw the blue sky and white clouds without people. Xue Chongxun was in it and felt like he had left the mortal world.

After waiting for a long time, I finally heard Princess Taiping speak in the curtain. Maybe she had completed a ritual, so Xue Chongxun told her that she often asked her whether she was healthy.

Princess Taiping said: Of course my health is good. Now that the inner elixir is just beginning to be established, it has long been immune to all diseases. How can I get sick?

When she heard that it was like real, Xue Chongxun blurted out: Is it true that he will become an immortal one?

Princess Taiping said slowly: It is not certain to become an immortal, but it is appropriate to live for three or four hundred years without changing appearance.

As long as the government and the mother and son couldn't argue, Xue Chongxun followed her wish and sighed: In that case, it would be me who would come here in a few decades to ask the adults for good health.

So I have asked you to take the immortal pill many times, and the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in Guanzhong can be used for the three of you to practice together.

Princess Taiping said it seriously without any joking tone. Why don’t you want to?

Xue Chongxun was speechless. He could not say that there was poison in the elixir. This was not only useless, but also made Taiping angry. It was inevitable that arguing was a fight.

Yuqing, give him one.Princess Taiping issued an order in an unquestionable tone. She was used to this method because no one around would resist her.

After a while, Taoist Yuqing came over with a golden cup, with a crystal clear ball on it, and presented it to Xue Chongxun. She said coldly: Please use pills by Your Majesty.

When Xue Chongxun saw the bright and unknown things, he remembered that the brighter the mushrooms were, the more poisonous they were. He was one hundred and he didn't want to eat them, so he politely declined: This kind of Qi-Registration Pill can only be refined by the spirit of the weather. It's useless to accept it, so he should keep it.

Are you afraid that there will be poison in the pill?Princess Taiping was angry and said harshly, you refused several times. Are you really afraid that I would poison you?!

Xue Chongxun hurriedly said: My son has no intention.Princess Taiping said in a tough tone: Then you have to give it to me this time!

Now, if he doesn't eat, he will probably have a few days of unhappiness with Princess Taiping...

He was silent for a while, then stretched out his finger and picked up the elixir, put it in front of him and saw that it was as beautiful as a gem in the sun.

It won't be poisonous, right?
