The Journey of Immortality of the Peerless Medical Concubine

They had seen smokers before, but had they ever seen one as crazy as this one?

When ordinary people have a craving for cigarettes, they just feel uncomfortable all over, or at most feel itchy in their heart. But they would not risk their lives just to take a puff like this.

Then, after taking the opium, the man showed a look of satisfaction, his eyes were closed, and he looked as if he was in ecstasy.

"Your Majesty! This..."

Su Zhengyang reacted immediately when he saw this scene. After just a little thought, he understood the intention of the emperor.

He immediately thought, could it be that all those tobacco shops are selling this thing?

If this is true, then it would be a serious matter.

"As you can see, this is opium! A poison that can control a person's mind!"

"I closed down those opium dens precisely to close down this thing! The appearance of this thing is against the harmony of nature. Are you still dissatisfied with what I did?"

Quietly watching the scene happening in front of him, there was still no trace of emotion in Tang Zongluan's eyes, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

But after seeing it with their own eyes, all the civil and military officials knelt down one after another, obviously agreeing with Tang Zongluan's approach.

Since it is poison, you should not inhale it. Otherwise, it will not only harm your body, but may also affect other people around you.

If everyone in the imperial city were contaminated with this thing, the consequences would be self-evident.

"As for why I want to take control of the government again, I will tell you here that your emperor was harmed by a traitor and was also addicted to this drug. I have locked him up in the Qianning Palace. When he quits using it, he will be released!"

When he said this, a hint of cruelty flashed in Tang Zongluan's eyes.

Hearing this, all the civil and military officials were shocked. Even His Majesty was not spared? His Majesty was a master of the Grandmaster level. Couldn't even he resist?

In fact, at this time, Tang Zhentian was scratching his ears and cheeks in Qianning Palace, his eyes were bloodshot. If there had not been someone guarding him, he would have banged his head against the wall.

Only then did he realize what a horrible thing he had been infected with.

That feeling of longing could not be shaken off in his heart no matter what.

In addition, Tang Zongluan did not allow anyone to visit Tang Zhentian, including the queen.

On the one hand, they didn't want others to see the ugly behavior of the royal family, and on the other hand, it was for the safety of others. After all, Tang Zhentian was a master, and if he lost control for a while, it would be difficult for anyone to subdue him.

For this purpose, Tang Zongluan deliberately arranged three master-level experts to watch over Tang Zhentian in order to prevent Tang Zhentian from accidentally hurting others. If necessary, some measures could be taken to force him to calm down.

In fact, Tang Zongluan was reluctant to do this, but in order for him to quit opium, he had to do it even if he didn't want to.

"Then your majesty, where does this opium come from? Why have you never heard of it in the world?"

While still feeling terrified, the civil and military officials were also curious about the origin of the opium. Who among them who could stand here was not well-educated and knowledgeable? But none of them had ever heard of such a horrible thing in the world.

If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not have believed anyone who told them about such a horrible thing as opium.

"Tian Ling, please explain!"

Hearing this, Tang Zongluan rubbed his eyebrows, then spoke to Tang Tianling in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Tang Tianling bowed, then slowly turned around and faced the civil and military officials.

"This opium is extracted from a plant called poppy. This poppy is originally a medicine that can relieve pain. However, its juice is highly toxic. Not only will it cause hallucinations and seriously harm the user's body, but it will also make the user extremely dependent!"

"We call this poison DP!"

"boom!"

As Tang Tianling's voice rang out in the Taiji Hall, the minds of the civil and military officials exploded like thunder, and they all looked at the man with a look of enjoyment in disbelief.

Is this thing so scary?

Extremely addictive, which means once you get addicted to it, you can’t live without it!

This is not the point. The point is that this thing is extremely harmful to the body and can kill people if you are not careful.

"I wonder where Your Highness Prince Wen got this news from?"

In addition to being shocked, some people also questioned it. Since no one had ever heard of this thing, how did Tang Tianling know about it?

You know, something like this has never appeared in the world of immortality before.

"Haha, since I dare to say it, I must know it. Why should Lord He worry about how I knew it?"

Tang Tianling did not give any further explanation on this, after all, the matter involved Wen Liuli.

Tang Tianling had some guesses about Wen Liuli's identity since he first learned about her, but he had no evidence to prove it.

If it can be confirmed, it will definitely be a shocking secret, and it may even trigger a horrific war.

He also believed that Tang Tianyu, Tang Zongluan and even Tang Zhentian must know about this matter, and they all knew the importance of the matter, so they had never made it public.

Once Wen Liuli's identity is exposed, it is inevitable that some people with ulterior motives will want to use her to do something.

After hearing Tang Tianling's words, Lord He who raised the question did not dare to ask any more questions and retreated obediently.

"Okay, what do you think about this matter?"

Tang Zongluan looked at Tang Tianling meaningfully, narrowed his eyes slightly, and had a new understanding of Tang Tianling.

Lao Liu had underestimated him before. Judging from his expression just now, he must have known something. Fortunately, this kid was sensible enough. He neither investigated nor inquired about anything. He was a smart fool.

If this kind of person is your enemy, he would be absolutely terrifying, because you never know when he will suddenly stand up and stab you.

"Your Majesty! I believe that the law should be revised to include new provisions regarding opium!"

As soon as Tang Zongluan opened his mouth, the place instantly became quiet. Su Zhengyang, who was standing at the front, slowly walked out and bowed.

This matter was absolutely not negotiated, because before this, no one knew what had happened except a limited number of people.

The most urgent task now is to solve the problem of opium. Although Tang Zongluan has closed down the opium dens, no one knows where the opium is hidden in the imperial city and how much of it there is.

Closing down opium dens is only a temporary solution and the real solution to the problem is to target opium.

The fundamental way is to get to the root of the problem.

"Well, I think so too. Does Lord Su have any ideas?"

Hearing Su Zhengyang's words, Tang Zongluan nodded in appreciation. This idea coincided with his own.

"First of all! Any opium found in the Eastern Wilds must be destroyed to prevent it from bringing disaster to the world."

"Secondly, considering the medicinal value of the raw material, opium poppy, it must be strictly controlled. Only the imperial court can grow a small amount for medicinal purposes!"

"A drug rehabilitation department will be set up. Anyone who accidentally consumes opium can surrender to the drug rehabilitation department. The court will give them a lenient punishment, and they can return home safely after they have quit drugs."

"Those who know the facts but fail to report them, those who secretly grow poppies, and those who sell opium will be severely punished as a punishment."

"..."

After getting Tang Zongluan's approval, Su Zhengyang also began to play his role and listed out everything he thought of one by one.

It has to be said that Su Zhengyang is worthy of being the prime minister of the current dynasty. His knowledge and insights are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Every point he listed was well-founded and won the praise of Tang Zonglun and all the civil and military officials.

There were some that even Tang Zongluan himself had not thought of, and Su Zhengyang listed them one by one.

"Okay! Do you have anything else to add?"

After a moment, Tang Zongluan nodded approvingly and then turned his gaze to others.

At this time, everyone else lowered their heads. They were just so shocked that they hadn't thought about how to deal with the matter at all. If Su Zhengyang hadn't brought it up, they would probably still be immersed in the dangers of DP.

"In that case, let's do as Su Qing said!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty..."

Accompanied by a voice that echoed throughout the entire palace, Tang Zongluan slowly walked out of the Taiji Hall. He did not want to get too involved in the court affairs. After all, he was no longer the emperor.

If he gets involved too much, it might have some impact on Tang Zhentian's ability to regain control of the government in the future, so he should just ignore it if possible.

The civil and military officials were also well aware of this. The emperor was just sick, not dead. They couldn't just leave the matter to the retired emperor, right?

Therefore, they were very sensible and did not report those trivial matters to Tang Zongluan. The most urgent task was to solve the internal problem first.

As for other external threats, it will not be too late to resolve them after Tang Zhentian returns.

As long as it is not an extremely urgent matter, it is best not to disturb the emperor if possible, otherwise it will not be good for anyone.

After all, if you have too much contact with the retired emperor, you will inevitably be suspected by the emperor, which is not what anyone wants to see.

Only Su Zhengyang, who was a veteran minister in the court and was promoted to prime minister by Tang Zongluan, and whose status was so high, was not afraid of those things at all.

……

On the other side, Tang Tianyu stared at Jiang Yijue in front of him, feeling that something was wrong with this man.

"Jiang Yijue, are you tired recently?"

"Ah? Why do you say that, Your Highness?"

Jiang Yijue was stunned when he heard Tang Tianyu's words. More than one person had said this to him recently. When he got up in the morning, his personal maid had been asking him if he had not rested well last night.

His wife also said that he had dark circles under his eyes and wondered if he had any worries recently.

But what worries could he have? Now that Ren Tiancheng had escaped, as long as Ren Tiancheng was brought to justice and Tang Tianyu left, he would be the local emperor of Zixian City.

I have no time to be happy, so why would I be worried?

And he has been sleeping well at night recently, but for some reason, he always feels very tired.

I went to see a doctor, who said that it was physical and mental exhaustion caused by overwork and told me to just pay more attention to rest.
