Upon hearing this, Hou Ji looked at the maid next to him and said, "Bring the medicine."

The maidservant trembled after hearing this, and quickly took out the jade bottle from her arms.

Hou Ji took out a piece of black plaster, took out a pipe, lit it and asked Wei Zhongxian to smoke.

Wei Zhongxian took the pipe with a trembling body and took two greedy puffs. He felt that all the pain in his body and mental anxiety had disappeared. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and lay down on the chair with a face full of satisfaction.

Hou Ji saw Li Yi looking at the pipe curiously and said with a smile: "This is a Western thing. It is used to smoke a kind of tobacco. You can use the pipe to swallow the smoke. It originally flowed into the Ming Dynasty, and the people just tried it out of curiosity. Later, many people in the south tried it.

The common people began to smoke, and became addicted and found it difficult to quit. After Emperor Chongzhen learned about this situation, he ordered a ban on smoking, and the situation improved. However, in private, many people still smoked secretly. Now in the north, except for nobles and nobles, people

If you go to the south to buy tobacco, it is very difficult to buy it."

Li Yi pointed to the black plaster in the jade box and said, "What is this?"

Hou Jidao said: "This thing is called Fushou Ointment. It was refined by alchemists during the Wanli period. It can make people feel comfortable. The Wanli Emperor often took it, but later he found that smoking it with a pipe was more effective."

Li Yi nodded, looked at Wei Zhongxian and said: "This thing seems to be effective, I guess it must be a treasure."

Hou Ji smiled and said: "The effect is very good, but it is harmful to the body and addictive. If you don't take it for two days, your heart will feel like ants eating it and it will be very uncomfortable. My father-in-law is also addicted, so he often needs to take it to fall asleep.

"

While the two were talking, Wei Zhongxian opened his eyes slightly and saw that Li Yi was coming in person. He straightened up under the service of the maid and said to Li Yi: "It turns out to be Zizheng, sit down quickly."

Li Yi smiled and cupped his hands, sat down and said: "Nine thousand years old, are you still used to living in the depths of Baiyangdian?"

Wei Zhongxian opened his eyes slightly and said to Li Yi: "No matter how nice the place is, you will get tired of staying there every day. It's a pity that I am old and disabled, and my bones are weak. I can only lie down every day, so I can't go far."

Li Yi smiled and said: "My father-in-law wants to go on a long trip, but is there a place you want to go?"

Wei Zhongxian sighed and said: "My only wish before I die is to go back to the Forbidden City and see it."

Upon hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Li Yi and Hou Ji looked at each other and said nothing.

Li Yi knew that Wei Zhongxian was at the peak of his rights, but now that the eunuch party no longer exists, Wei Zhongxian is just a living dead and cannot appear in the public eye at all. His wish cannot be realized on his own initiative.

Wei Zhongxian naturally knew that this was impossible. A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, as if he was missing his past days.

Li Yi said: "Nine thousand years old, if you are bored staying in Anxin, I can find a way to move you to other places, such as Jiangnan."

Wei Zhongxian opened his mouth, revealing his yellow teeth and said, "You want to drive me away?"

Li Yi shook his head and said: "Of course not. How can I leave Jiu Qian Sui? In this way, it is also a choice for Jiu Qian Sui. If Jiu Qian Sui doesn't want to, forget it."

Wei Zhongxian opened his eyes and glanced at Li Yi, "You are not the only one who knows what you are thinking. What I like most in my life is gambling, because I can read a person's heart based on his actions.

That's why I'm very good at gambling. Li Yi, of course I understand what you're thinking, just like when you asked me to live in Anxin."

Li Yi thought for a while, no longer covering up, and said directly: "Although Jiu Qiansui is old, he is also a smart man. I really have no intention of letting you leave. I just ask Jiu Qiansui to understand that it is not easy for An Xin.

I can take care of one or two.”

Wei Zhongxian sneered: "I've given you the benefits of the salt tunnel, and I've given you the secret information. What else do you want now?"

"I want a relationship in the hands of a nine-thousand-year-old man." Li Yi said solemnly.

Hearing what Li Yi said, Wei Zhongxian trembled, straightened up and shouted: "It's a crazy dream."

Li Yi was not angry and continued: "Nine thousand years old, you can't kill all your disciples no matter how hard you go. There must always be ways to contain them. Please give these to me, nine thousand years old, and I will be strong and prosperous."

Even if you are nine thousand years old, you will be safer."

Wei Zhongxian said: "Why should I believe you?"

Li Yi said: "Nine thousand years old, your hands and eyes are astute, and you are protected by so many masters, how could I frame you?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "Then what are you going to do?"

Li Yi said: "Nine thousand years old also knows that I have no power in the court and it is difficult to gain a foothold. Now the emperor wants to reinstate me to my official position, but because there is no support, it has never been possible. So I thought,

If Nine Thousand Years Old can leave the relationship to me, it would be a good thing for me."

Wei Zhongxian looked at Li Yi coldly and said, "I'll leave the matter to you, so what's the need for me to exist?"

Li Yi stood up, looked at Wei Zhongxian and said: "Nine thousand years old, you don't have to think of me as a person who crosses the river and burns bridges. Just like now, this manor deep in Baiyangdian is the palace of nine thousand years old, and all the protection is in nine thousand years old."

Under the control of Sui, An Xin will work hard to fulfill any request, and Jiu Qian will definitely let Jiu Qian Sui spend his remaining years here."

Wei Zhongxian looked slightly hesitant, looked at Li Yi and said: "Is what you said true?"

Li Yi nodded and said: "Nine thousand years old, I just want to gain a foothold in the court and have no other intentions."

Wei Zhongxian looked into Li Yi's eyes, nodded and said: "Okay, I can do this and hand over the relationship in my hands to you, but this matter is of great importance. Just wait, I will naturally hand it over after I sort it out."

for you."

Li Yi nodded and said: "In that case, I will wait for you to be nine thousand years old."

After Li Yi finished speaking, he walked out of the manor.

Wei Zhongxian looked at Li Yi's leaving figure and said to Hou Ji beside him: "Do you think what Li Yi said is sincere?"

Hou Ji bowed his body and said with a flattering face: "Godfather, we have been here in Anxin for a long time, but nothing happened. Li Yi also responded to every request. If you want to come, Li Yi must have become an official in the imperial court.

, I have ambitions in my heart and want to gather a force in the court."

Wei Zhongxian nodded and said: "In the court, if you don't have the help of your own friends, you can't stand at all. Zhou Yanru knows this truth, so he will win over a villain like Wen Tiren. Li Yi is deeply trusted by Chongzhen's son, and in just one short time
