Chapter 926: Don’t Suspicion When You Employ Someone, Don’t Employ Someone You Don’t
Yuchi Gong felt relieved when he heard this. The emperor still trusted him very much, which made him very happy.
Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, fell silent again in front of the sky curtain and couldn't help but redden his eyes.
To Li Shimin, these ministers under his command were good brothers who helped him conquer the world.
The scars all over his body, big and small, were all injuries he got when he was fighting for the world. Naturally, he would not suspect that Yuchi Jingde had the intention of rebellion.
Don't use people with suspicion, don't use people who are suspicious.

"In 643 AD, Senior Yuchi Gong submitted a petition requesting to return home to retire.
The imperial court has granted you, Senior Yuchi Gong, the title of Chief of the Three Departments, and allowed you to enter the palace to pay homage on the first and fifteenth day of every month.
Soon, your portraits were painted along with those of twenty-four other people, including Changsun Wuji, and displayed in the Lingyan Pavilion, which was built specifically to honor meritorious officials. Senior Yuchi Gong ranked seventh.
In 645 AD, Li Shimin set out from Luoyang to personally lead an expedition against Goguryeo.
He ordered the Crown Prince to act as regent. When you, Senior Yuchi Gong, who was already retired at home at the time, learned about this, you wrote a letter to the emperor to offer your advice.
It is said that if Li Shimin went to Liaodong in person, the prince was now in Dingzhou, and Luoyang and Chang'an were both locations of the national treasury. Although there were guard troops, their strength was still too weak.
Liaodong is a long way away. If any accident happens, it is not worth it for Li Shimin to lead the army in person to conquer a small country like Goguryeo. There are so many generals and anyone can go.
However, at that time, Li Shimin did not adopt your advice at all.
Instead, I order you, Senior Yuchi Gong, to exercise the powers of the Minister of Rites in your original capacity, serve as the commander-in-chief of the Left First Cavalry, and follow Li Shimin to Zhubi Mountain to defeat Goryeo.
After returning to the capital, Senior Yuchi Gong, you retired and stayed at home.
In your later years, Senior Yuchi Gong, ah," Li Wu looked at Yuchi Gong and sighed deeply.
Yuchi Gong looked at the little immortal. No, why did the little immortal suddenly sigh when he called him? This made him feel panicked. Could it be that he did something in his later years?
Or maybe his later years didn't end well for him?
But doesn’t Your Majesty not prohibit killing meritorious officials?
What happened to him in his later years?
Zhang Han and Cheng Yaojin also looked at Yuchi Gong and then at the little immortal.
"Hehe, I told you, elixir, elixir, elixir, this stuff really can't be taken casually, it can kill people," Li Wu waved his hand. Many of our ancestors were superstitious and loved to take elixirs.
When Yuchi Gong heard that it meant taking pills, he was surprised. No, taking pills?
He actually took elixirs in his later years!!!
"Little Immortal, don't worry. Ever since you said that the elixir is poisonous and cannot be eaten, I dare not touch it. Besides, I have never wanted to eat elixirs," Yuchi Gong said hurriedly. At least he has never thought about eating elixirs or anything like that.
As for his later years, he hasn’t reached that time yet, and he doesn’t know what he will think in his later years.
Maybe it’s because people get old, and when they get old, they’re afraid of death.
Besides, even if he really gets old, he will never take elixirs because he already knows the harm of elixirs, so how could he still take them?
"That's good. Our ancestors can't take elixirs. I don't know how many times I've said this. I can't even remember. They really can't take them. As for those who don't listen and are courting death, I can only say that it's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words.
If you really want to figure it out yourself, then I can't do anything about it," Li Wu shrugged. She had already said that countless times. If the ancestors still wanted to take pills, then she really couldn't do anything about it.
In the barrage, the ancestors also said in the barrage that they would no longer take elixirs and so on.
They really know the harm of elixirs and will never eat them again. Besides, they really want to listen to the immortal's words.
We must listen to what the little immortal says.
"Little immortal, don't worry about this. His Majesty will definitely not take elixirs again," Zhang Han smiled proudly, and Li Wu also smiled at Zhang Han.
There was a look in their eyes that only they could understand.
Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other and felt that something was a bit strange, very strange, but they couldn't tell what was strange.
"Little immortal, why do I feel like there's something weird going on between you and Senior Zhang Han?" Cheng Yaojin asked, scratching his head.
"No, no," Li Wu shook his head and said, "Let's continue talking about Senior Yuchi Gong's deeds."
Li Wu didn't want to talk about this either. If the ancestors knew that she gave the elixir of immortality to Brother Zheng, they would be furious.
Of course she wants them, but she doesn't have that many points to buy pills. She is even reluctant to buy them for herself. She is so nice to Brother Zheng!
Qin Shihuang and his ministers in front of the sky were all laughing. No one dared to say this matter, and they couldn't say it. Only they knew about it, and other dynasties didn't know. Hahaha, Qin Shihuang was very happy again.
Hearing what the little immortal said, Yuchi Gong nodded, and Cheng Yaojin didn't think much about it.
However, the other ancestors in front of the sky curtain began to ponder. Something was wrong, very wrong. Could it be that the little immortal gave something to Brother Zheng in secret?
What would that be?
Some people also asked directly in the barrage, but no one from Daqin said anything.
“Senior Yuchi Gong, in your later years, you were obsessed with elixirs, grinding metal ores, and swallowing mica ore powder.
He dug a pond and built a pavilion, which he decorated with white patterned silk fabrics. He learned to play Qingshang music to entertain himself and did not communicate with outsiders for sixteen years.
Senior Yuchi Gong, you, you, I don’t know what to say.
That’s all I can say, superstitions are bad,” Li Wu said.
Yuchi Gong nodded and said, "Don't worry, little fairy."
“In 658 AD, Senior Yuchi Gong passed away at home at the age of 74.
In fact, he is very long-lived. Senior Yuchi Gong, I have finished talking about your deeds. Do you have anything else to ask?" Li Wu looked at Yuchi Gong and asked, "He is 74 years old, which is really a long life."
"Little Immortal, didn't you say that I took elixirs in my later years? Then why can I still live to be over seventy years old?" Yuchi Gong asked curiously. He was quite satisfied with his lifespan.
The ancestors in front of the sky curtain were also very confused. Wasn’t the elixir poisonous? Why could Yuchi Gong live so long?
"This is not absolute, but there is no doubt that the elixir is poisonous. It may also be that Senior Yuchi Gong, you eat less and don't have those things to worry about. If you keep a calm mind, your body will naturally get better," Li Wu said. How could she know? But the elixir is poisonous. How could you dare to eat something you dare not even touch?
Yuchi Gong nodded, accepting this statement.
"Now let us toast to Senior Yuchi Gong," Li Wu said, raising his glass. Zhang Han and Cheng Yaojin also raised their glasses, and the four of them drank again.
Li Wudu had already drunk several glasses of wine, but actually she didn't feel anything, because what she drank was not strong enough, just like a drink, just a small glass. If this could make her drunk, she didn't know what to say.
