Views:

When Lu Bing came to the emperor’s palace, a little eunuch stood at the door. Seeing Lu Bing coming, he hurriedly greeted him: "Master Lu, you are here, and later, let me report to the emperor."

Lu Bing nodded and said, "Feng Bao, how are you doing recently? Is anyone bullying you?"

Feng Bao hurriedly thanked him: "Thanks to you, now I have been with Father Huang, no one dares to bully him."

This little eunuch was called Feng Bao. He was always bullied when he first entered the palace. One time Lu Bing saw him in the palace, he saw him speak cleverly and had some ethos, so he saved him. After asking, he found out that Feng Bao was from Shenzhou, Hebei. My father had read and written books, and he was considered a scholar. Later, my father went to Beijing for the exam with all his furnishings, but died of illness in the capital, and my mother died of grief at the news.

Feng Bao sold all the things at home and followed his fellow villagers to the capital. In order to conquer his father and run out of money, he borrowed a lot from his fellow villagers. The fellow villagers are also ordinary people. In order not to hurt the fellow villagers, Feng Bao himself offered to let his fellow villagers sell him to pay off the debt. But he is already a teenager, and good people no longer accept children of this age. There was no way, his fellow villagers had to sell him into the palace.

Hearing what happened to Feng Bao, Lu Bing was very emotional and introduced him to follow Huang Jin as an apprentice. Huang Jin saw that he was literate, witty, and admired, so he sent him to the Superintendent of Lies.

Lu Bing asked Feng Baodao: "How long has Chen Hong been here?"

Feng Bao's eyes turned around and said, "It's been a while, but the emperor was meditating when he first came, and now it hasn't been time to go in for a stick of incense."

Lu Bing nodded and asked, "What's wrong?" Feng Bao shook his head and said, "I don't hear clearly. It seems that you killed someone."

Lu Bing smiled and patted Feng Bao's hat and said, "That kid is okay, even you know?" Feng Bao held his head and jokingly said, "I'm afraid no one will know anymore."

Lu Bing muttered: "It spreads very quickly." He took out another jade cicada and threw it to Feng Bao. "Hey, I bought it at the stall. Let's play it."

Feng Bao took it and said with a grin: "Thank you Lord Lu for the reward, then I will report to you now."

Lu Bing waved his hand and said, "Go!"

Feng Bao went in and informed him, he came out soon, opened the door of the hall, and bowed to Lu Bing and said, "Master Lu, the emperor announced that you are going in."

Lu Bing nodded, adjusted his crown, and strode into the bedroom.

Entering the palace, I saw the interior is very simple, with green flags and copper incense lamps. It's not like an emperor's palace, but like a training ground for Taoists. Passing around the outer compartment of the palace, he saw Emperor Jiajing with a solemn face, dressed in a robes, holding a whisk, sitting cross-legged on the dragon bed. Chen Hong was standing under his dragon bed with hands.

Seeing Lu Bing coming in, Emperor Jiajing couldn't help laughing. Only then can I see that the man with three long beards is still very young.

"You are here, I'm talking about you." Emperor Jiajing smiled

Lu Bing also smiled and knelt down: "How good is your majesty?"

Emperor Jiajing waved his hand to let him get up and said, "Fortunately, Zhenren Shao sent a newly refined pill. I just tried it, and I feel much better."

Lu Bing frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty tried it before you tried it?" Emperor Jiajing smiled lightly: "Don't worry, let the three eunuchs eat it for seven to seven forty-nine days. Those few eunuchs The body is also much stronger."

Only then did Lu Bing feel relieved: "The way to practice is to practice more. After all, the pill is an outside way."

Lu Bing said this because he knew that many Taoist priests used lead, mercury, and other gold and stones to make alchemy. Eating it was bad for your health. However, he also knew that Emperor Jiajing grew up in Jingchu, where Taoism was originally the source of Taoism. The parents of Emperor Jiajing also It is self-evident that the influence of respecting the teachings, ears and eyes on the Jiajing emperor is self-evident.

Emperor Jiajing has a strong personality and it is difficult to change what he identified. Since he took the throne, he has not only believed in himself, but also all his officials must respect the Dao. Those who respect the Dao must be promoted and made fortune. Those who dare to speak and persuade them to cut their jobs for the people lightly. In the jail forbidden, Shige died on the spot with a rod.

Lu Bing was not good at admonishing bluntly. He knew that it would be useless to persuade him, so he could only remind Jiajing to take less pills.

Emperor Jiajing did not listen, but persuaded Lu Bing: "The alchemy technique has been around for a long time. Then, Huainan King Liu An, isn't it just taking Pill to ascend? Even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven together. Haha, let Huang Jin give you some too. Go, give your mother and your father some food. I heard that your father has been in poor health recently, and he will be safe after eating my elixir." Emperor Jiajing said, thinking that he will become a god and he can't help but feel relieved. Lu Bing started joking.

Lu Bing thanked him helplessly. He then thought about it, that to a real person Shao Yuanjie, who was on the Dragon Tiger Mountain, was a real person in the Qing Dynasty, and his teachers were Fan Wentai, Li Bofang, and Huang Taichu. According to legend, the secret of "Long Tu Norm" has been practiced for many years, and now it is the leader of Taoism today. Shouldn't you dare to use poisons such as lead and mercury in the emperor's pill

Emperor Jiajing thought of King Huainan serving the pill to become immortal, and thought that the pill offered by Zhenren Shao this time was indeed miraculous. He couldn't help being overwhelmed, and even casually said: "This time Zhenren Shao has merit in alchemy, I want to grant a reward, what do you think?"

Chen Hong hurriedly replied: "Shenzhen Shao did his best for His Majesty's Dao. He really deserves a reward to encourage him to make a better elixir."

Jiajing heard what Chen Hong said was exactly what he wanted, and immediately called Chen Hong to make a decree: "The imperial imperial mansion will be built in the west of the city. Every year, we will give Lumi and a hundred stones, and 40 school lieutenants will be allocated for sweeping, and 30 hectares of farmland will be given. Its rent. Take Sun Shao Qinan as Taichang Cheng and great-grandson Shao Shiyong as Dr. Taichang."

Lu Bing was beside him. Although he felt that the reward was too heavy and it seemed wrong, he did not speak when he saw that the emperor was on his head and was unwilling to disobey the emperor at this critical moment.

Chen Hong drafted the decree, and Emperor Jiajing said to Chen Hong: "You go to preach the decree now, and supervise and handle it quickly, especially the real man's house. It must be completed as soon as possible, and your east factory must also be supervised.

Chen Hong paused, honoured the imperial decree, bowed and retired.

When Chen Hong left the bedroom, the door of the palace was closed. Jiajing's smiling face became indifferent, his eyes squinted slightly, the room was filled with sandalwood and clouds of smoke. At this moment, he really looked like a clay sculpture and wood carving fairy.

Lu Bing looked at him, but he also said nothing.
