The Jin Dynasty was full of rats, and never again had the strong external exports of the Three Kingdoms. However, alchemy technology did improve somewhat, and they produced Five Stone Powder and some mineral-based elixirs.

[A more famous example is Wang Bin, who served as Shangshu Zuo Pushe. He not only consumed the elixir himself, but also gave it to his eldest daughter, whom he named Wang Danhu.]

[As a result, the elixir was poisonous, causing the daughter to lose her fertility.]

"Alas, what a sin."

"The king and the horse share the world. Is it possible that such a powerful family also has a daughter who cannot get married?"

"Infertility is a fatal flaw."

Three Kingdoms period.

Liu Bei had just conquered Yizhou. He, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and others were looking at the sky outside the palace. He had never thought about things like immortality, but he had some ideas about the Two Jin Dynasties.

"Military Advisor, the previous one should be Emperor Wu. This Wang Bin seems to be not far away from us, but what do the words 'Wang' and 'Ma' mean? Could it be..."

"Ma Mengqi has already surrendered, so it can't be him. Besides, he's from Xiliang, so it's impossible for him to use Jin as his title. Let's wait and see."

Liu Bei nodded, hoping Tianmu would continue to talk about the future.

After the Three Kingdoms, the Jin Dynasty, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, China was unified. However, the Sui Dynasty was relatively short-lived, and there were no attempts at immortality. During the Tang Dynasty, several emperors also took elixirs.

"Forget about the rest, why did our Erfeng, who created the Zhenguan era of prosperity, also take elixirs?"

Erfeng is seriously ill and is desperately trying any possible means to cure her illness.

Wang Xuance, who was known for destroying an entire nation, was involved in this incident, so he could only serve as a fifth-rank official throughout his life.

Yang Jian was feasting with the crown prince in the palace with a look of rage on his face. Empress Dugu had long told him that she wanted to depose the eldest son, Yang Yong, as she thought that he was arrogant and licentious, and had a bad relationship with the crown princess.

Instead, he favored Yun Zhaoxun.

He has never made up his mind, but since Tianmu said that his time in the Sui Dynasty is short, it must be the prince's problem!

"Your Majesty, I think the second son, Yang Guang, is suitable."

"I will discuss this with the ministers next time I attend court."

Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin finally knew his nickname.

"Your Majesty, future generations will say that you ushered in the prosperous Zhenguan Era," Zhangsun Wuji said. "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief. When he chose the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he was always worried about being criticized. He didn't expect that he would be recognized by later generations.

Now Wang Xuance is just a minor official, but since future generations say that he can destroy an entire country by himself, should we promote him now? After all, there are still some threats from the north.

Wei Zheng seemed to understand what Li Shimin meant and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there are rules for the promotion of officials. It is better not to give promotions to officials casually."

Li Shimin returned to the harem helplessly.

"Wei Zheng, this country bumpkin, poured cold water on my happiness again!" Li Shimin took a sip of the brewed tea, "From now on, this tea can be brewed directly like the sky curtain."

Empress Zhangsun brought over a tray of snacks and said with concern, "Second brother, Tianmu said you're not feeling well. We should ask the imperial physician to come over, or send someone to find Medicine King Sun."

Li Shimin waved his hand, feeling that there was nothing wrong with his health. But after thinking about it, he agreed. Even if he didn't need it, his children might need it.

After the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there were still many high-ranking officials who practiced immortality. Two emperors were more famous. One was Emperor Daojun of the Northern Song Dynasty, who could be ranked among the top five of the ten most incompetent emperors. We won't go into detail here.

[The other is the Taoist priest of the Ming Dynasty, the Supreme Daluo Celestial Immortal, Purple Extreme Immortal, Holy Wisdom and Spiritual Unity of the Three Origins, the Chief of the Yuxu Master, the Great Immortal of the Five Thunders, and the Emperor of Longevity in the Mysterious Capital Realm—Emperor Jiajing Zhu Houzhao.]

Prince Duan is frivolous and unfit to rule the world.

"I wonder if the Queen Mother who opposed Prince Jian's ascension to the throne went on a northern expedition."

Jiajing, Jiajing, every household is clean.

Zhao Kuangyin, who had just ascended the throne, was completely stunned. One of his descendants had become one of the ten most incompetent rulers? Although he didn't know what he had done, he had already thrown the cup in his hand.

"Call the eldest and second eldest over here. I'm going to beat them both to death with a stick today! The Ten Tyrants? They've completely disgraced themselves."

[Speaking of Emperor Jiajing, his political wisdom could be ranked among the top five among the Ming emperors, but he did not make good use of it and instead did not attend court for more than 20 years.]

[And his alchemy didn't just use some minerals or medicines, he also needed some young women who could only drink dew and eat mulberry leaves every day.]

The cruelty to women is appalling.

So the palace maids joined forces and planned to strangle Emperor Jiajing while he was sleeping, but they were too nervous and just made a knot, so they failed.

[This incident is also known as the Imjin Palace Incident.]

[Later, all the palace maids involved in this incident were executed by slow slicing.]

Emperors of all dynasties who looked at the sky curtain showed a hint of surprise. How could a dynasty be stable if it had not attended court for more than 20 years? Was it just a puppet?

It doesn't look like it according to the description.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was so angry that his hair stood up. These were his descendants. How could they become emperors?

If you have a brain but don't know how to use it, then feed it to the dogs.

"Unfilial son! Unfilial son!" Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at his eldest son Zhu Biao with a cane in his hand, "How do you educate your children? I'll beat you to death."

Empress Ma pulled Zhu Yuanzhang aside and told him not to be so impulsive, as they didn't know how many generations it was. Zhu Biao probably had no way to deal with it.

Zhu Yuanzhang was about to count on his fingers when he suddenly realized something was wrong. He had arranged the generations of his descendants. There was no generation with the character "Hou" in the generation list of Zhu Biao's descendants.

Gaozhan Qi Jianyou, Houzai Yi Changyou, Kind and Harmonious Brothers, Jianjing Di Xianyou.

This is the generation of descendants of Zhu Di, the fourth brother!

How dare he usurp the throne!

"Go and call the fourth brother over. I have something to ask him!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and ordered the eunuchs below. He gripped the cane in his hand tighter, intending to beat the fourth brother as soon as he came in.

Let him know why the flowers are so red.

The Qianqing Palace of the Qing Dynasty.

While eating sachima made from real dog milk, Kangxi said to Zhang Tingyu with a smile: "The emperors of the previous dynasties made elixirs and cultivated immortality, and did nothing serious. My Qing Dynasty will never have such an emperor."

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty was also very fond of alchemy and even composed a poem about it: "Lead sand and medicine, pines and cypresses surround the cloud altar, the furnace mobilises yin and yang fire, the work combines internal and external alchemy."

Emperor Kangxi's face was gloomy. He had just finished talking about Tianmu when he said this. Isn't this a slap in his own face?

Zhang Tingyu, who believed that it was better to keep silent than to speak a thousand words, could only quietly find a place to hide.
