After the two boxed and the fog in the mountains gradually dissipated, Li Hao turned his head to look at Li Zhi and said happily: "Is your complexion good today?" ”

Li Zhi nodded happily: "I also feel that I am much more energetic than yesterday, and I have the strength to box." ”

"Let's go, go to the hospital, I'll check your pulse."

The two walked into the courtyard as they spoke, sat down on the stool in the courtyard, Li Zhi slowly stretched out his hand, and Li Hao helped him diagnose his pulse. Although Li Hao's medical skills are limited, he still knows a little about the pulse, at least he can diagnose the strength of the pulse, Li Zhi's pulse today is obviously much stronger and more powerful than yesterday, it can be seen that yesterday's transfusion is indeed very effective for Li Zhi.

When Li Hao performed appendectomy surgery on Zhiyuan Zhenren, he transfused two bags of blood to Zhiyuan Zhenren, and since then, Zhiyuan Zhenren has actually experienced reverse growth, and his white hair has turned gray, and he is more than ten years younger.

Although Li Zhi's state is much better now, Li Hao knows that the poison in his body is deep-rooted and has not yet been completely removed, after all, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and he has to carry out multiple blood exchanges, reduce the toxins in his body through exchange blood, and then use the body's own resistance to dissolve all the toxins by strengthening his body.

Two days later, Pei Miao came, and brought Li Hao's senwang, which Li Hao specially ordered someone to send from Liuqiu, first by boat, and then by car, without the slightest stop all the way.

Li Hao hurriedly asked Pei Miao to boil the ginseng king soup for Li Zhi to drink, and added more than 20 drops of Li Hao's blood to it, but he didn't tell Li Zhi, because he was afraid that Li Zhi would refuse to drink it after he found out.

After drinking the ginseng soup, Pei Miao gave Li Zhi a pulse, this time, a smile appeared on his face, Li Hao saw Pei Miao's expression, he knew that things had taken a turn for the better, sure enough, after Pei Miao finished diagnosing the pulse, he said happily: "Senior brother, you really have a lot of tricks, his body has greatly improved, although he is not out of danger for the time being, but he has extended his life from the original half a year to five years." ”

Li Hao was also very happy when he heard this: "I knew that this trick would definitely work, and I would continue to exchange blood tomorrow!" ”

Pei Miao shook his head and said: "I just took the ginseng soup, and tomorrow I will exchange blood, this ginseng soup will be drunk in vain. ”

"Okay." Li Hao nodded in agreement, "Then once a month." "Anyway, as long as you can save Li Zhi, it doesn't matter if you slow down.

So the three of them stayed in Jingyunguan, Nantuo Mountain regained its vitality, the little monkey ran all over the mountain, the mutated monkey is different, not only smart, but also quite powerful, holding a stick and fighting with wild boars and wolves, it moves quickly, and has great strength, wild boars and wild wolves are not its opponents, first began to dare to fight with it, and later, it ran all over the mountain.

Li Zhi every day in addition to boxing, idle to do, then to the Yuan Zhenren's library to find Taoist classics to read, perhaps Taoist ideas and his character quite compatible, the more he looked, the more he liked, gradually immersed in it, a day without looking, he felt as if something was missing, if there was something unclear, he would ask Pei Miao, over time, he actually learned those seals.

In Chang'an City, since Li Zhi disappeared for a month, Wu Sansi and Xu Jingzong once again asked for the prince to ascend the throne, this time, there are still people who oppose and ask to continue to find the emperor's whereabouts, after all, the prince is too young to ascend the throne or not, it has no impact on the government, once he ascends the throne, there is no regret medicine, if the emperor suddenly comes back, then what to do.

However, this time the number of people who opposed it was significantly less, and Wu Meiniang also lost her patience, after a month's buffer, she finally calmed down from the panic at the beginning, no matter who was making trouble, she was now in power, and the military power was in hand, no matter who it was, she couldn't compete with her, what else to be afraid of.

So, Wu Meiniang played this time, the new emperor ascended the throne, because Li Xian was too young, only two years old, and he still needed someone to support him when he walked, so on the day Li Xian ascended the throne, Wu Meiniang sat on the throne with Li Xian in her arms.

The moment she sat on the throne, Wu Meiniang felt that her aura was infinitely expanding, that kind of excitement really couldn't be described in words, it turned out that the feeling of sitting on the throne was so magical, no wonder there were so many people coveting the throne, from this moment on, a crazy idea had secretly bred in her heart, and even she didn't realize it.

Li Xian finally ascended the throne, and announced to the outside world that naturally it could not be said that the emperor was missing, but that he had died, and the next thing was to hold a funeral for Li Zhi and bury Li Zhi's clothes in Qianling.

The funeral of the first emperor is naturally a national funeral, but Wu Sansi is extremely happy, Li Xian finally ascended the throne, his aunt became the queen mother, and the power is more firmly in his hands, and their martial arts family is also sent because of this, can he not be happy, he summoned his henchmen to the house to drink and celebrate, and called for singing and dancing.

During the national funeral, drinking and feasting, and listening to singing and dancing, this is a big crime, Di Renjie, as the secretary of Dali Temple, is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, and after getting the report, he immediately played the impeachment of Wu Sansi, and asked Wu Meiniang to severely punish Wu Sansi.

After Wu Meiniang received Di Renjie's recital, her eyebrows twisted up, Di Renjie was stunned, he impeached Wu Chengsi before, causing Wu Chengsi to be imprisoned, and he hasn't been released yet, and now he is coming to impeach Wu Sansi, what kind of trouble? Do you want to get all the people of their martial arts family?

Wu Meiniang immediately summoned Wu Sansi, threw Song Shu in his face, and then reprimanded him, Wu Sansi was also stunned after watching Song Shu, now he can almost walk sideways in Chang'an, why Di Renjie's-stirring stick just can't see the situation clearly.

Although Wu Meiniang reprimanded Wu Sansi, she didn't want to convict him, otherwise would there be anyone available around her? So she and Wu Sansi thought about it, and decided to take advantage of this opportunity to bring Di Renjie down, so that he would not jump up and down in the future and make trouble.

Wu Meiniang has the intention of favoring Wu Sansi, and she also partners with Wu Sansi, no matter how smart Di Renjie is, it will be useless, because in the face of absolute power, intelligence and talent are ineffective.

So Di Renjie was convicted of framing Zhongliang and was imprisoned in Dali Temple, and Wu Sansi was not only fine, but also replaced Di Renjie and became the secretary of Dali Temple, and Wu Chengji was also released, because Di Renjie was accused of framing Zhongliang, so the person who was impeached by him was naturally "Zhongliang".

There is a miasma of smoke above the court, and the frontier has also undergone drastic changes, after the merger of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, the position of the Anxi Imperial Protector is changed every six months, and all the military generals in the DPRK and China have a share, and they will never fall into vain, and it feels like a joke.

This time, it was the turn of a general named Wang He to be the protector of Anxi, to be honest, this Wang He is just a fourth-grade martial artist, and his ability is average, so it is really too reluctant to let him do this Anxi protector. And at this time, the Abbasids sent 150,000 troops, suddenly attacked the Anxi Protectorate, Wang He hurriedly mobilized a large army to fight, although the Tang army was brave, but it depends on who the commander is, just like a person is physically strong, if it is a cerebral palsy or mentally retarded, it is also no combat effectiveness, Wang He was defeated in a row, and the four towns of Anxi were repeatedly broken by the Abbasid army, and they advanced all the way to the southeast.

Wang He retreated to Qinghai, and Tubo also sent troops at this time, and the Abbasid army was united to attack Qinghai, fortunately, Wang Xiaojie also brought reinforcements to kill, plus Qinghai Wei was brave, so he defended the city and blocked the footsteps of the enemy.

The Tang Dynasty has not suffered such a big defeat for a long, long time, and the DPRK and China are in an uproar, although most of the Confucian ministers are pedantic, but they are all patriotic in nature, how can they tolerate such a big loss, and they have asked Wu Meiniang to restore Fan Lihua to the position of protector of Anxi, so that Fan Lihua can repel the enemy army.

However, Wu Meiniang's henchmen were resolutely opposed, and finally Wu Sansi proposed that he and Wang Xiaojie take turns to serve as the protector of Anxi, and Wu Meiniang will be allowed to play.

Tubo and Abbasid attacked Qinghai for three months, because the Qinghai Acropolis was too tall, and Qinghai Wei was fierce, Wang Xiaojie was not an idle person, and it was more than enough to defend the city, Abbasid and Tubo could only withdraw their troops in the end, and then carved up the original Anxi territory of the Tang Dynasty.

In Nantuo Mountain, Li Hao helped Li Zhi change his blood five times, and the toxins in Li Zhi's body were finally cleaned up, and at this time, Zhiyuan Zhenren came back.

Zhiyuan Zhenren rode a black buffalo back to the Taoist temple and found that Li Hao and Pei Miao were there, but he was overjoyed. When he learned that Li Zhi was at this time, he was surprised, he was traveling abroad, and naturally heard the news of the emperor's death, but he didn't expect that the emperor was not dead at all, but was hiding in Nantuo Mountain.

After sighing, Zhiyuan Zhenren looked at Li Zhi, frowned and shook his head, and said coldly: "A woman has harmed the Tang Dynasty like this, your guilt cannot be shirked!" ”

This sentence made Li Hao and Pei Miao stunned, although Li Zhi is not the emperor anymore, but Zhiyuan Zhenren is too awesome, and he actually blames Li Zhi like this.

After listening to this, Li Zhi lowered his head with guilt on his face, and said slowly: "Yes, the real person taught the right lesson, all of this is my fault." ”

Why Wu Meiniang can have such great power today, this is all given by Li Zhi, from the moment he fell in love with Wu Meiniang, he was already destined to have such an ending, he is indeed the culprit.

Zhiyuan Zhenren was walking outside, naturally knowing the news of the defeat of the Tang Dynasty, when he told the matter, Li Zhi and Li Hao were shocked, the Anxi Protectorate was vast, Li Hao and Fan Lihua fought down with great difficulty, and they fell so easily?

Even if Li Haodang hurriedly descended the mountain and returned to Chang'an, although he could not recapture the territory of Anxi when he returned, he had to take precautions in advance, the Tang Dynasty could be chaotic, but it could not be invaded by these barbarians.

Leave Nantuo Mountain, go to Chang'an, all the way to the official road smooth, Li Hao galloped on horse, hurried with stars and moons, wind and dust, four days later, arrived at Fenghua Valley, it was not far from Chang'an, at noon, Li Hao was hungry, so he stopped at Wuyanggang in Fenghua Valley, and came to Wuyanggang stall to drink tea and eat bowls of noodles.

He has been to Wuyanggang more than once, it is the beginning of winter, the fiery red maple leaves around have not yet fallen, looking at it, it seems to be a fire all over the mountains, beautiful a little unreal.

Li Hao sat down at the small table in the tea shop, asked for a bowl of hot tea and a bowl of noodles, and then looked around, only to see that there were many fewer vendors around, and business was also in a depression.

Li Hao couldn't help but sigh: "Business is much worse than before." ”

"Not really." The owner of the tea shop replied to him while cooking noodles, "In the past, this Wuyanggang was lively, but since the emperor fell ill, our business in Wuyanggang is not good." ”

"Oh? Why is that? Li Hao raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Why else? It's not because ......" The owner of the tea shop stopped talking, and finally said, "That's it, don't talk about it, these things are not something we can say, if the official family hears it, it is estimated that it will be another prison disaster." ”

Although he didn't say it, Li Hao heard it, it must be related to some measures of the imperial court, even if the imperial court did not change any system, if the officials of the government become corrupt, the people will have a hard time, and it will also have a great impact on the people's consumption capacity and these small self-employed households, and even affect the economy of the whole country.

Li Hao secretly decided that after returning to Chang'an, he would ask Cheng Biting Jin and Li Ji what changes had taken place in the government and system over the years, and why the people's economy had regressed.

Soon, Li Hao's noodles were ready, Li Hao picked up the chopsticks and ate a hula hula meal, and soon, most of the bowl of noodles was eaten, and he ate deliciously, when he suddenly heard the boss of the tea shop screaming: "It's amazing!" Come on! ”

Li Hao looked up in shock when he heard this, only to see that the owner of the tea shop didn't even want a stall, and he ran wildly, and several other vendors also ran away, and Li Hao and the other guests looked confused when they saw this.

Immediately afterwards, I saw more than a dozen fast horses roaring over, and the riders on horseback were wearing strange costumes, and Li Hao's first reaction when he saw this was a bandit.

That's right, it's the bandits, I saw this group of bandits riding horses, and this group of guests reacted, but it was too late, and the bandits surrounded the five guests, and one of the bandits led by them was actually a one-eyed dragon, a very classic bandit shape.

Li Hao frowned and looked at this group of bandits, he was very surprised in his heart, Datang's economy has been very good in recent years, there are very few bandits, not to mention that it is close to Chang'an, how can there be bandits, what he doesn't know is that after Wu Meiniang took power, a series of taxes were increased, agricultural taxes and commercial taxes were increased, and the treasury was full, but the people's lives were not as good as before, some people went bankrupt because they couldn't pay taxes, and then broke the jar and fell, and the grass fell into the grass, and some thieves were the ghosts of the gates. They just want to mess up the Tang Dynasty, in order to show that Wu Meiniang, a woman, is not worthy of being in power at all, so that the people complain about Wu Meiniang and force Wu Meiniang to step down, because after Wu Meiniang came to power, the harm to their clan is not lower than that of Li Hao back then, and the current commercial tax is really heavy, the Li Group used to pay more than 400,000 yuan of commercial tax every year, but in recent years, it has to pay more than 1.4 million yuan of business tax every year, which has more than tripled.

The one-eyed dragon stepped forward immediately, glanced at the five guests, and immediately grinned and showed a mouth full of black teeth, and said happily: "Good luck today, there are donkeys, horses, women, and a person wearing silk." ”

The other four guests present were two young couples, and the one who wore silk was naturally Li Hao, and in Datang, those who wore silk must be rich people.
