Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The wave of anti-revision of books caused by the earthquake was skillfully resolved by Yunyao, and at the same time promoted a wave of research on Zhu women.  Especially among the women in Chang'an, because there was a precedent for Princess Pingyang, the association studying Zhu women named themselves the Women's Army to pay tribute to Princess Pingyang.

    When Huang Bixia found out, she covered her mouth and snickered, because Zhu Nu was just a princess. She lived here well and there was no need to search for it in ancient books.  But she won't tell others, this is her own little secret.

    The ministers now also know how powerful the princess is. It is really abominable for Her Royal Highness to directly instigate the family members instead of fighting them head-on.  What's even more disgusting is that many ministers gave in to maintain family harmony. Only two ministers would rather divorce their wives than give in.  But just the two of them can't change the overall situation, but these two are completely on the opposite side of the princess.

    Yunyao didn¡¯t do anything to them, because even if they were killed, someone else would come forward later.  There will always be people who use her as a stepping stone for Bo to succeed. This is inevitable. Anyway, for them, they will not lose regardless of success or failure.  It succeeded, and just like now, the two ministers became the leaders of the anti-princess camp.  Even if they fail, they will still be able to leave their name in history, and they will also be able to earn a fortune at that time.

    So the easiest way is to ignore them. If they want to object, just object.  Just wait until they make a mistake and then catch them all.

    What worries Yunyao even more is that now Li Shimin has begun to be superstitious about alchemists. It seems that he has already felt the power of time. At his age, he must have various physical problems, and he must feel his irresistible power day by day.  senescence.  He even asked Yunyao during the family dinner if he had any elixir that could prolong life. It seemed that he was very confident in his daughter's alchemy skills.

    Of course Yunyao does, but it is written in the book of life and death that Li Shimin can be emperor for thirty-three years, so if he messes up, he will modify Li Shimin's lifespan.  Sure enough, no one can escape the suffering of birth, old age, illness and death, so there are so many people who would rather give up everything to become immortals, because the feeling of aging day by day is really terrifying.

    There are, but they cannot be given. Yunyao has invented many elixirs so far, but there is no elixir to delay aging.  So Li Shimin asked the old miracle doctor Sun Simiao, because he was a longevity doctor, to ask about the secret of longevity.

    Sun Simiao said that to live a long life, you need to learn to have a normal mind and then learn Breathing Qigong. There is nothing difficult and you can easily live over 140 years.

    Li Shimin can¡¯t learn from this. He manages national affairs and scheming with others every day. How can he be normal?  I did learn qigong, but it had no effect.  Therefore, in the end, science and medicine represented by Yunyao and Sun Simiao could not help them, so they could only seek help from metaphysics, that is, to find alchemists.

    Alchemists have been around since the Spring and Autumn Period, and their job is to refine elixirs. In the Tang Dynasty, due to the popularity of Taoism, countless nobles refined elixirs, and many people died from taking elixirs.  Young Li Shimin also looked down upon Fang scholars, but faced the irresistible years, he also started to engage in metaphysics.

    After receiving the support of the emperor, these alchemists began to engage in superstitious activities, saying that their elixirs could cure all diseases. Unfortunately, their elixirs were expensive and had no effect.  This made Sun Simiao break his normal mind. He went to Yunyao and complained: "These alchemists are all liars. Their elixirs are all poisonous and will kill people if they eat them. It's okay if they are ordinary elixirs, but they are poisonous elixirs."  How can you sell it? Your Majesty, you must advise your Majesty well. Birth, old age, illness and death are normal, and you must not pursue immortality."

    Yunyao smiled bitterly. Older emperors would hope that they could continue to control everything, but the reality is that they cannot control the situation. Therefore, in the end, the monarch will indirectly manage the government through jesters.  In fact, it is very simple, because the officials will be disobedient when they see the monarch is old, and the monarch has to support new forces to fight against the officials.

    Li Shimin may not know that the alchemists are liars, but the older he gets, the more he relies on these alchemists.  In fact, it makes the same sense to replace the alchemists with ministers, eunuchs, and actors, because the emperor needs them to control the ministers.

    Li Shimin is getting older and naturally has to face this problem, so he may not really want to refine the elixir of life, but it is most likely to build a new force as a trade-off.  Therefore, Yunyao may not be able to persuade him. After all, Li Shimin must have his own considerations.

    "Since my father has sought out the alchemist, it must be because the alchemist is useful to him. He must also know that the alchemist is lying. Since he has acquiesced, no one can persuade him."

    Sun Simiao was anxious and said quickly: "But he can eat dead people."

    "There is no need to worry. Buying such an expensive medicine may not be enough to eat, but it may also be a disguised bribe." Yunyao said that most people cannot afford this medicine, and those who can afford it are not necessarily stupid enough to take it.  the point.  So she said optimistically: "I think after so many years of hard work,??Everyone from the royal family to the common people should understand that they should see a doctor when they are sick.  So I think they don¡¯t necessarily buy elixirs to eat, but more likely because of their attitude.  "

    "How complicated is it?" Sun Simiao didn't expect that behind a simple alchemist's trick, there could be a complicated court dispute?  He thought it couldn't be that complicated, maybe it was just superstition, so he said: "There was a medicine called Wu Shi Powder that was popular in the past, but it had no effect, but a lot of people took it, so I thought maybe it wasn't that complicated.  Just because some people want to take elixirs means they believe in them. And once this trend is formed, other people will follow suit, and more alchemists will join. By then, not only the rich will be able to buy medicines, but also ordinary people will have channels.  When the time comes, there will always be stupid people." Sun Simiao showed love and care for stupid people, with a skillful hand and a kind heart.

    Yunyao did not consider that once the trend was established, idiots who imitated Xi Shi would definitely appear.  Perhaps the high-end alchemists and buyers paid bribes to the court, but when it came to the private sector, it was simply cheating, and the fools who were deceived would definitely take medicine, and some unlucky ones would definitely die.

    Even if they are idiots, Sun Simiao still wants to save their lives.  Yunyao felt ashamed. She always considered development, but never cared about vulnerable groups like idiots.

    Education is still not enough, there are too few liars and too many fools.

    So kill the source?  Li Shimin probably won't be happy, after all, the alchemist is useful to him.  Alchemy is a common practice among nobles, and Li Shimin joining the alchemy industry can be regarded as a form of contract. They can reach a simple alliance through alchemy.

    So the alchemist is really useful. On the one hand, he can control hundreds of officials, and on the other hand, he can form an alliance with the nobles.  When the body is weak, the emperor's rule can be maintained.

    "The old miracle doctor is very considerate." Although Yunyao focused on development and promoted education bit by bit, he forgot that development is a great undertaking that takes hundreds of years and does not happen overnight. It takes time.  But there are fools waiting to be rescued right now, and we cannot sit idly by. If the trend of alchemists rises, it will be the same as the era when the Five Stone Powder was rampant in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, so we should still take care of the alchemists.

    "But the emperor does need alchemists, and if there is something good from above, it will be better than below."  The virtue of a gentleman is like the wind; the virtue of a villain is like the grass. If the grass is in the wind, it will die.  When the grass encounters the wind, it will inevitably fall.  The villain here is either a curse or a person with a low status, while a gentleman is a person with a high status.
