However, when Eunuch Li produced Chu Fan's diagram of the human skeleton, with the meridians meticulously marked on it, Wei Zhongxian's eyes widened. He could hardly believe that the secrets of the human meridians, which he and other masters had longed to understand, were now laid out before his eyes so clearly.
Wei Zhongxian was so absorbed in observing the meridian paths on the map that his hands were even trembling slightly. In an almost trembling voice, he asked Eunuch Li a question full of doubt:
"Little Li, are you sure that His Majesty really has no talent for martial arts and is truly just an ordinary person? If he were just an ordinary person, how could he have drawn such a detailed and precise meridian map?"
Eunuch Li looked at Wei Zhongxian's expression of shock and confusion and replied:
"Although His Majesty has no natural talent for martial arts, his passion and pursuit for the art are unmatched. For the past few months, His Majesty has either been reading vernacular novels or searching the palace library for martial arts manuals. Perhaps that was when he learned about the human meridians."
After hearing this, Wei Zhongxian really wanted to beat up Eunuch Li. After all, if someone could have such a clear understanding of the meridians just by reading vernacular novels and martial arts secrets, he must be a martial arts genius and not an ordinary person.
Wei Zhongxian became even more puzzled at this thought. He carefully examined the map again, trying to find some clues to solve the mystery. He knew that the value of this map far exceeded his imagination and might bring about a revolutionary change in martial arts.
Eunuch Li said in a relieved tone, "Grandfather, I've actually been holding back something in my heart, and I've been looking for an opportunity to speak it out. Do you know that the people outside Kaifeng have already begun to spontaneously build a shrine for Your Majesty? They're all saying that Your Majesty is a celestial being who has descended to earth."
Otherwise, how could His Majesty have such a large number of magical items?
When His Majesty instructed us and the palace maids to begin planting those miraculous sweet potatoes and corn, the seeds of these two divine treasures suddenly appeared in the inner treasury as if they had fallen from the sky. I have always been by His Majesty's side, and I can say with absolute certainty that these two grains had never existed in the inner treasury before. And yet, the yield of these two grains is dozens of times greater than what was previously cultivated in the State of Wei.
Moreover, Your Majesty was able to extract the miraculous drug penicillin from those moldy substances. The emergence of this drug saved many people who were previously doomed to die. It was simply like a miracle.
His Majesty also used cement, a magical construction tool, to make the three citadels surrounding Kaifeng City exceptionally strong and indestructible. And now, with the alcohol and the human meridian map, these miraculous things happening to His Majesty make one feel like an omnipotent deity.
Every time His Majesty made a new invention or discovery, the entire court and the people were amazed. His Majesty not only made contributions in agriculture, but also demonstrated extraordinary talent in medicine, architecture and science.
His wisdom and abilities truly seem to transcend the limits of mortals, forcing one to believe that he might possess some kind of divine power. Each of these events is enough to inspire awe and make one believe that His Majesty is the Chosen One, a true god descended to earth.
After hearing what Eunuch Li had to say about Chu Fan, Wei Zhongxian frowned, appearing somewhat worried. He knew that unless something major had happened in Shu, no one would have bothered him in this side hall. He realized that he lacked understanding of many things going on in Wei.
Wei Zhongxian pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is this news reliable? Does Your Majesty really have such a high reputation among the people?"
"Absolutely true, old ancestor." Eunuch Li replied respectfully.
The people outside Kaifeng were filled with gratitude to His Majesty, believing him to be a deity sent from heaven to save the people. His Majesty not only saved nearly a million victims, but also provided the people with affordable and high-quality refined salt. He also developed a miraculous medicine that brought many near-death experiences back to life.
In addition, Your Majesty has also reduced the taxes on farmers, allowing the people to live and work in peace and lead a happy life."
Wei Zhongxian was surprised when he heard Eunuch Li's report. He had never thought that His Majesty had such a great influence among the people and could do so many things to benefit the people.
Wei Zhongxian was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "It seems I still know too little about Your Majesty. He not only strategizes at court, but also has a profound influence among the people. However, this presents both a challenge and an opportunity for us. If we can make good use of Your Majesty's reputation, perhaps we can add considerable momentum to our plans."
Wei Zhongxian recalled an elderly Taoist priest who had once told him that Chu Fan would achieve extraordinary success in the future. This old Taoist priest was no ordinary man; he had profound knowledge and experience in predicting people's destinies.
Because of this, after the King of Wei was killed in a surprise attack at the border, the royal family members and powerful ministers of Wei unanimously decided to nominate Chu Fan to ascend the throne and become the new emperor.
Eunuch Li replied respectfully, "Every action is for the benefit of Wei."
Wei Zhongxian said, "Leave this important blueprint in my hands for now. Take the alcohol and medicine His Majesty has given you and go to Shu to rescue the King of Shu and the two princes. Be sure to complete the task His Majesty has assigned you, and do it to perfection."
Eunuch Li bowed respectfully, then left Wei Zhongxian's room and embarked on his journey to Shu to carry out his mission.
Wei Zhongxian, alone in his room, muttered to himself, "That stinky old Taoist priest, it seems he never makes a mistake."
-----------------------------------
When Eunuch Li once again set foot on the land of the Shu Kingdom Palace, the King of Shu was able to barely support his body, got out of bed, and moved slowly. At the same time, the conditions of the two princes were effectively controlled and showed no signs of deterioration.
When Eunuch Li appeared in the King of Shu's sight again, a long-lost smile appeared on his face. When he was in Wei, the King of Shu had met Eunuch Li before, and the two had an old friendship.
Therefore, after Eunuch Li bowed slightly to the King of Shu, he said with great satisfaction, "It seems that the King of Shu is recovering quite well. Now I am even more relieved."
Then Eunuch Li said, "This time I brought the magical medicine of our Majesty Chu Fan to cure the illnesses of the two princes."
