The capital city has been very lively these days. Many people gathered together to discuss the appearance of a fairy island on the North Sea. They fantasized about getting elixirs and immortality. What's more, they had prepared their carriages and horses, preparing to go north to the sea to seek enlightenment. .
The people were talking a lot, and Song Huizong, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, also vaguely heard the news.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ And a group of quack doctors could not find out what disease he had, which made him feel even more heavy. He doesn't want to die, he hasn't lived enough, he doesn't want to give up his status above ten thousand people, he still wants to continue to enjoy this unrestrained life.
So when he heard about the fairy island elixir, Huizong was immediately interested. Coincidentally, Zhao Kai also came to report.
After returning Zhao Kai in, Huizong hurriedly asked: "Kaier, is it true that I heard that you have the fairy island?"
Zhao Kai said respectfully: "Back to my father, I did find out some news through investigation. I knew that my father was in poor health, so I was always worried about him and never dared to forget. Not long ago, I heard that a fairy island appeared in the North Sea. He didn't dare to relax and kept searching, thinking how great it would be if he could get the elixir and give it to his father, so that he could live forever and let me live in the Song Dynasty for thousands of generations. With God's protection and careful investigation, I finally found out I found some important clues. I didn¡¯t dare to hide it, so I hurriedly came to report to my father!¡±
Huizong was pleasantly surprised and said: "Kaier is my favorite, Kai'er, please tell me quickly!"
Zhao Kai cupped his hands and said: "It's my father! According to my investigation, I learned that a fairy island did appear on the North Sea. Many fishermen have seen it. It is said that the fairy island is called Penglai Mountain. There are immortals living on the mountain and they are here." The elixir was refined there. According to the fishermen, the immortal even sang a song, saying: 'I am an immortal from Penglai. I have been here for a hundred days in the prosperous age. I would like to give an elixir to Tianlong and enjoy an era of heaven and earth'!"
Huizong was surprised and overjoyed, and shouted: "Tianlong? Doesn't it mean me? You are willing to give me an elixir and enjoy the years of heaven and earth. Haha, this is really a blessing, a blessing!"
Zhao Kai said: "Yes, father, this is a blessing for the Song Dynasty. From what I have seen, the top priority is that the father should send one of his most important officials to Beihai to obtain the elixir, and also bring a band and salute army to show that the father is the emperor." Respect for the Immortal! And this confidant must know etiquette so as not to offend the Immortal!"
Huizong nodded and said: "Kaier's words are reasonable. If so, then send Cai Jing there! As a grand master, he is full of knowledge and will be careful to ask for an audience with the immortal."
At this time, Zhao Kai said again: "Father, the immortal only waited for a hundred days, and now more than fifty days have passed, so Master Cai must go out immediately. If the immortal leaves after a delay, then "
Huizong was startled and said: "That's right, Kai'er, grind it quickly, I want to draw up a decree and let Cai Jing take action immediately!"
Zhao Kai met Huizong in the morning, and at noon, Cai Jing led his people to Beihai. Once you go there, you won't be able to come back for fifty or sixty days. Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and others had no doubts about this. These days, they also heard about the Fairy Island, so they had already guessed that Huizong would send someone there.
The incident on the Immortal Island caused a great uproar, but it was only on the tenth day that the news of ten thousand years of spiritual wisdom came from the South China Sea to suppress it.
It is reported that the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in the South China Sea is a rare blood mushroom, which is more precious than the Tianshan Snow Lotus. If the blood mushroom can be used to refine elixirs, although it will not lead to immortality, it will be immune to all diseases.
After Huizong learned the news, he was moved again.
Although it is good to live forever, it is not pleasant if you are suffering from long-term illness. If you could live forever and be immune to all diseases, that would be a happy life, and you would truly become an earthly immortal.
Thinking of this, Huizong summoned Gao Qiu and prepared to ask him to go to the South China Sea to search for Xue Zhi.
Gao Qiu saw Cai Jing leaving. If he left now, only Yang Jian would be left in the capital. Zhao Yunluo was also on the periphery to suppress Fangla. If something happened to the capital, wouldn't he be unable to take care of it?
But Huizong was pressing hard, and Gao Qiu was unable to send a letter to Zhao Yunluo asking for a solution. In the end, Gao Qiu had no choice but to lead his troops south to look for Xuezhi.
On the third day after Gao Qiu left, Zhao Kai sent assassins to take action.
Except for Yang Jian and Su Yuanjing, those officials who did not seek refuge with Zhao Kai were assassinated and then replaced by officials close to Zhao Kai. In this regard, Yang Jian was aware of the danger in the early stage of the rainstorm, so he wrote a letter to Zhao Yunlin. But unfortunately, as soon as his messenger left Tokyo City, he was killed by Zhao Kai's assassins and robbed the letter.
In the following days, Zhao Kai accelerated his efforts to expand his strength, first bribing the Forbidden Army, and then assassinating the leader of the Forbidden Army, replacing Zhao Yunluo's people with his own.
Ten days later, Zhao Kai has taken control of 80% of Tokyo!
Of course, the reason why he was so fast was because of the great efforts of Ximen Qing and Zhang Yu. Because those leaders of the Forbidden Army were killed by Ximen Qing and Zhang Yu, otherwise Zhao Kai would not be able to control the military power in the capital.
At this time, Zhao Kai was greeting Ximen Qing attentively in Zhao Kai's mansion.
?????????In these days, Ximen Qing has offered suggestions and advice, which has gradually allowed Zhao Kai to stretch his wings and expand his strength, allowing him to taste great benefits. Naturally, he has to curry favor with Ximen Qing.
After pouring a cup of good tea for Ximen Qing, Zhao Kai said with a smile: "Lord Holy Son, now I have taken 80% control of the capital. If I ascend the throne, no one can stop me But my father. My body is healthy and does not look like it is about to end its lifespan. What should I do?"
Ximen Qing was stunned for a moment, then took a sip of tea, and then said seriously: "Your Highness, I can't explain things like Yangshou clearly. The headmaster estimates that His Majesty's Yangshou is near. This is just a rough estimate. If His Majesty takes something It's not necessarily impossible for the elixir to change your destiny and increase your life span! So we can only wait, and His Highness should send more people to monitor every move in the palace!"
Zhao Kai sighed, frowned, and said: "Thisit is not a good thing to delay like this. Yang Jian has sent secret messages to Zhao Yunluo many times, but I have intercepted them one by one, but Zhao Yunluo is not allowed to hear them. What kind of reputation can easily lead to bad things, so how can this be a good thing!¡±
Ximen Qing narrowed his eyes, and then said casually: "Hey, there is nothing I can do. I can't enter the palace to assassinate His Majesty!"
He does not mean that!
Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment, and then thought about Ximen Qing's words.
That¡¯s right, if he doesn¡¯t die, then I will help him! The most ruthless emperor's family, for the sake of the throne, they don't care about your family ties!
Zhao Kai narrowed his eyes and slowly made some determination in his heart.
Afterwards, Zhao Kai changed his worries and stood up and said: "Master Shengzi, take your time to taste the tea. I have important things to do. I have to go to the palace. Haha, I will chat with Master Shengzi someday!"
Ximen Qing smiled and said: "Your Highness, go slowly!"
Immediately, Zhao Kai left.
Looking at Zhao Kai¡¯s leaving figure, Ximen Qing stood up and walked towards Qiufeng Pavilion. At the same time, he said to himself: "You are really cruel. For the sake of the throne, hey it¡¯s time to leave!"
