Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 120 Whoever strikes first is the real one

Emperor Taichang didn't even wait for the eunuch to take over, but ran over and snatched the red pill.

When I smell it up close, I feel refreshed.

This was just an illusion caused by the hormones in Emperor Taichang's body after excitement.

"Yes, it is exactly the same in color, taste and shape as recorded in the letter left by the late emperor." After Emperor Taichang carefully identified it, a look of joy appeared on his face.

Chu Danqing was not worried at all that Emperor Taichang would be able to recognize it. So far, only Yuan Shanhu had come into contact with the red pill.

In addition, she herself had the corresponding knowledge and experience, so although the imitation effect was not exactly the same, it was difficult for Emperor Taichang to distinguish the authenticity.

However, Emperor Taichang did not take the medicine immediately, but summoned the imperial physician to check it.

It's impossible that his father said in his suicide note that it was an elixir of immortality, right?

Then why didn't his father eat it, and had to hide it in the Imperial Hospital? Isn't this a problem?

Chu Danqing took advantage of this opportunity to tell what had happened, and Emperor Taichang remained silent for a long time.

The red pills from the Imperial Hospital were stolen, and the medicines offered to the palace were robbed, all by the Sushen people.

"My dear minister, what do you think?" Emperor Taichang asked after he calmed down and drank the calming tea in one gulp.

The story cannot be faked. When the red pill was taken away, fifty imperial guards assisted him, and when he entered the palace, the city defense department witnessed it.

"Someone in the court is connected to the Sushen, and there are Sushen hideouts in the capital!" Chu Danqing said forcefully, "Your Majesty, please conduct a thorough investigation."

Emperor Taichang had anticipated this, but he was not sure who to assign to investigate.

Li Wanwu is indeed suitable, but the problem is that he is being used as a knife to purge the Qiutan Party in the court.

The Qiutan Party is like a centipede that will not die even after its death. It has roots not only in the capital, but also in other places.

Another question is, with such a big thing happening in the capital, did Li Wanwu’s criminal investigation agency have no idea about it?

Emperor Taichang was suspicious by nature, and he couldn't help but think of Li Wanwu's previous behavior of placing bets on many parties.

If he could surrender to him so easily, would he surrender to Sushen when the country was about to collapse?
Emperor Taichang was about to ask Chu Danqing who was suitable when the imperial physician spoke first.

"Your Majesty, this medicine is the same as the one left in the late emperor's will, but it has not been tested, so its efficacy is unknown." The old doctor hurriedly said, "It just so happens that there are two red pills. You can use one to test the efficacy."

Chu Danqing immediately objected: "Your Majesty, no."

"Since it's two pills, I'm afraid you need to take both. One for longevity, the other for immortality."

"If you only take one pill to gain immortality but not eternal youth, it will be dangerous," Chu Danqing said.

It’s not that Chu Danqing is so good, but because the sensory effect provided by drinking the weak healing potion and the weak energy potion together is better, which makes Emperor Taichang more likely to believe it is true.

Emperor Taichang thought it made sense.

If one only has longevity but not immortality, and one's body is so old and feeble that one cannot move, while one is still alive, wouldn't one become a fish on the chopping board?

"Since the color, aroma and taste are the same, there is no need to test the efficacy." Emperor Taichang rejected the imperial physician's statement. If it was really as Chu Danqing said, wouldn't it be giving immortality to others in vain and sacrificing his own immortality?

However, he was cautious and did not take it directly. Instead, he asked the old doctor: "Why did the late emperor store the red pill in your Imperial Hospital?"

"This old minister really doesn't know." How could the old doctor know that this was secretly released by the previous Emperor Taichang.

Chu Danqing knew that because of his low rationality, he had become a mental patient and was likely to do anything.

For example, allowing the ghost market to transport people to Sushen to be used as labor in exchange for money. Anyone who can do such an outrageous thing is definitely not normal in the brain.

There is no need to study the other party's logic and motives of action, as normal people cannot understand them.

Emperor Taichang looked at the two red pills, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

If he were a prince, he would eat it without hesitation.

After all, he needs a good body to survive his father.

But now his father is dead and he has become the emperor, so naturally he doesn't have such great ambitions.

After struggling for about three minutes, Emperor Taichang finally spoke: "Bring the red pill here."

He gritted his teeth and prepared to eat it.

The eunuch handed the red pill to Emperor Taichang without hesitation.

Emperor Taichang grabbed it and stuffed it directly into his mouth, swallowing it without chewing for fear of affecting the efficacy of the medicine.

After it entered my stomach, I felt two streams of air, one hot and one cold, instantly spreading from my stomach to my limbs and bones.

At this moment, he felt like he was reborn, and his body, which had been full of burdens, suddenly felt relaxed.

The whole person's energy and spirit began to become vigorous.

In fact, it is all psychological effect. Weak healing potions and weak energy potions are indeed useful, but they do not have the function of increasing attributes.

The problem with Emperor Taichang is that his physical attributes are too low rather than restoring his blood mana.

"I have endless energy, it's truly miraculous." Emperor Taichang sighed.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing was afraid that Emperor Taichang would commit suicide, so he added: "Your Majesty is only immortal now, so you should be more cautious."

Emperor Taichang asked why when he heard this.

"Your Majesty is still a mortal. War, fire, water, poison and plague are still harmful." Chu Danqing reminded him not to think that he is immortal and can never die.

And if you really kill yourself by doing it, then you'll be in trouble.

From the current perspective, Emperor Taichang is still anthropomorphic and a well-behaved emperor.

"Don't worry, my dear, I know what I'm doing." Emperor Taichang listened to him. He knew he was not indestructible, and if someone stabbed him in the heart, he would die.

"Come here, draft an edict to confer the title of Duke of Shiyi County on Chu Aiqing." Emperor Taichang was delighted and immediately granted Chu Danqing the title. The eunuchs quickly completed the edict, and after Emperor Taichang reviewed it, it was directly given to Chu Danqing.

"We have to make decisions in an emergency. Please don't mind it, my dear Minister Chu." Emperor Taichang did not plan to hold any ceremony for Chu Danqing. If you want to do it, you can do it yourself when you go back.

Chu Danqing did not accept the imperial edict, but said: "Your Majesty, this is too precious."

"Why not reward me with something like the Orchid of the Valley or the Night-Shining Pearl of Boro State? I really like these little things."

What's the point of him having a county lord? To him, it's just an empty title.

Hearing Chu Danqing's refusal, Emperor Taichang became more and more satisfied.

He is greedy for money but not power, can get things done and is loyal. How can he not like such a minister?

In fact, he felt a little regretful after being conferred the title of marquis.

The title cannot be conferred easily, so just follow Chu Danqing's steps down.

"Well, my dear Minister Chu can go to the Daying Treasury and choose three treasures. I will also be given a mansion and a reward of a thousand gold coins." Emperor Taichang changed the reward.

Chu Danqing was quite satisfied with the bonus this time, but his goal had not been achieved yet.

"That's not enough. I also want to be the chief officer in the crackdown on the Sushen case in the capital. I request an order to execute first and report later, so that we can proceed at our own convenience."

"I really don't trust Admiral Li. The Investigation Bureau is incompetent. Even such a big thing as the Red Pill was leaked. Even if Admiral Li was unaware of it, he would still be guilty of dereliction of duty." Chu Danqing said.

Speaking of Li Wanwu, Emperor Taichang also had a thorn in his heart.

Not many people knew about the red pill of immortality. Except for Chu Danqing and Li Wanwu, the rest were imprisoned by him.

Then Chu Danqing would definitely not leak it, since he had already sent the red pill.

Li Wanwu was the only one who leaked the information. Could it be Emperor Taichang himself?

"Okay, draft an edict, and go get my sword." Emperor Taichang agreed without hesitation.

"What if Admiral Li is involved?" Chu Danqing asked again.

Emperor Taichang paused and said, "Submit a secret memorial to me, and I will make the decision."

Even though we know that there is something wrong with Li Wanwu, we cannot act immediately. We have to wait until he is no longer valuable before killing him.

Chu Danqing suspected that Emperor Taichang was trying to kill two birds with one stone.

First use Li Wanwu as a knife to deal with the court, and after the deal is completed, kill Li Wanwu to appease the people.

In this way, all the problems were Li Wanwu's fault, and Emperor Taichang not only controlled the court but also had an intact reputation.

Chu Danqing responded, took the imperial edict and sword, and then went back.

The next step is simple. If you are still undecided, show the imperial edict. If you dare to disobey, draw your sword and kill him.

It is not a problem at all to mobilize various forces in the capital to work for him.

Chu Danqing not only has power, he also has soldiers under his command.

Those with power might wait and see, but it’s different with soldiers. Chu Danqing really dares to take action.

After getting what he wanted, Chu Danqing couldn't wait to go to Dayingku.

Houses and money are of no use to him, so they don't matter to him.

But this kind of treasure can actually enhance yourself.

After arriving, the Daying Warehouse was still brightly lit. After showing the note from the Internal Affairs Bureau stamped by Emperor Taichang, someone accompanied Chu Danqing into the Daying Warehouse to select treasures.

"Sir Chu, is there anything you like?" asked the deputy treasurer who followed Chu Danqing.

Chu Danqing did not hide it: "Beast taming, spirit summoning, or something like the Night Pearl of Boluo Country."

Although the deputy treasurer had never heard of such rare terms as taming beasts and summoning spirits, he could understand their meaning.

"Yes, yes." The deputy treasurer said immediately, "Master Chu, please come this way."

As they walked, he introduced to Chu Danqing the origins of the various treasures in Daying Treasury.

Chu Danqing also confirmed this through his apostolic authority.

Not everything can be recognized by the park as an attribute panel.

Most of them are of substandard quality.

Treasures that meet the standards are all of ordinary grade, and excellent grade ones are very rare.

Now it seems that the Orchid in the Valley and the box of night-shining pearls are already valuable treasures.

Emperor Taichang was indeed not stingy and was very generous in giving out bonuses.

The deputy treasurer led Chu Danqing to the depths.

The further you go in, the more formal the things become and the higher the quality.

"Please look at this, sir. It's called the Seven Treasures Eagle. It's made of gold, silver, glass, coral, amber, giant clam, and agate."

"It is a treasure presented by the king of Solo when Taichang was founded." The deputy treasurer pointed to a treasure made of seven kinds of materials.

Chu Danqing took a look and said directly: "Change it."

It does look good, but it is only of ordinary quality. The minimum requirement is excellent quality, and then there are limiting conditions.

This thing is a type of treasure, similar to the night pearl, but the price is lower.

Compared to Paradise Points, he still prefers to obtain summoning items directly, which can save the middleman and make a profit from the price difference.
