When Lu Bing heard Duan Chaoyong mention the mysterious person, he couldn't help but laugh. It was really lingering, and his shadow was indispensable everywhere.
When Duan Chaoyong said that Bi Yun and the imperial horse guard behind him were also involved, Lu Bing became vigilant.
The matter involved a lot. Lu Bing was not sure enough, and there was no need to cause turmoil between the ruling and the opposition because of an alchemist. At that time, Emperor Jiajing would not agree.
At this point, it can only come to an end.
However, this matter taught Lu Bing that he is no longer the little Jinyiwei Thousand Households. He is now the Jinyiwei commander. From the first-rank master, he doesn't have to deal with everything anymore, he must be careful about layout. He now has enough strength to drop ten guilds in one effort and solve the problem in a simpler and more direct way.
This is a change in mentality, and this change is very important to Lu Bing.
At this moment, he really entered into the ideology of a big figure at the top of the Ming Dynasty, and only then began to think, judge, and act in the way of a real big figure.
Yang was dead, Duan Chaoyong was arrested, and Emperor Jiajing stopped mentioning the prince’s imprisonment.
After that, Emperor Jiajing was rewarded by Tao Zhongwen's merits in seeing through the deception of Duan Chaoyong, and awarded Tao Zhongwen's son and son-in-law official positions as a gift.
This incident seems to be over, but in fact it continues.
Since then, Emperor Jiajing’s fascination with the red pill pill technique has become uncontrollable. He repeatedly studied it and felt that the yellow and white technique used by Duan Chao might be a scam. As Tao Zhongwen said, all the yellow and white techniques are nothing more than useful. It is the ore with gold and silver, or the method of mixing gold powder and silver sand in the stone. The result of the subsequent interrogation was indeed the same. The silver that Duan Chao used to refine with the so-called name was all from the Palace of the Kingdom of Yi.
However, Emperor Jiajing felt that Duan Chaoyong's theory of the red pill pill technique was very reasonable, and he decided to continue refining the pure red pill.
Emperor Jiajing asked Lu Bing to release Duan Chaoyong to help himself refine the pure red pill of Yuanxing.
As a result, he recruited Taoist alchemists and established Zhaijiao in the court, constantly expanding the scale and spending a lot of money.
He also ordered the Ministry of Etiquette to send personnel to select more than a thousand folk women to enter the palace in Beijing, Nanjing, Shandong, Henan and other places. Later, the court ladies were selected many times, and there were as many as thousands of young girls between the ages of 8 and 14.
Emperor Jiajing used the alchemist Duan Chaoyong and others to refine the pill, at the expense of the body of the palace lady, and even the young life. In order to gather enough alchemy materials, the emperor forced the palace ladies to take medicines that urge the menstrual blood, which caused great damage to the palace ladies' body and mind, or caused excessive blood loss or even blood collapse. Many people died as a result. In addition, in order to prevent the secrets of refining medicine from being leaked, it is even possible to kill the palace ladies who have taken blood.
Lu Bing saw that Emperor Jiajing seemed to have fallen into trouble, slowly sliding from his original shrewdness to mediocrity, and was anxious, but after persuading him a few times, Emperor Jiajing simply missed him, leaving him helpless.
Seeing Lu Bing being estranged, Guo Xun and others, who had been reprimanded by Emperor Jiajing, were moved again, and they became even more domineering than before.
But unexpectedly, when Guo Xun was overwhelmed and unable to control himself; when Bi Yun was disappointed with Lu Bing and struggled with pain every day... Guo Xunle was extremely sad.
In the 20th year of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing gave Guo Xun an edict and ordered him to be the same as the Qing Dynasty military service, and Guo Xun did not receive the edict for a long time. Supervisors have shunned. Guo Xun also went up to comment, saying: "What's the matter, let me give you the edict?"
Emperor Jiajing angered that no one was honored.
Seeing this opportunity, Lu Bing acted immediately. This act was a force of thunder. When he used the horse market incident to clean up the Jiangnan Japanese pirates, the officials in his hands strictly investigated Guo Xun.
Lu Bing told the prosecutor that Emperor Jiajing hated Guo Xun for discerning arrogance, and secretly asked the criminal department to give the matter to the middle and high school, Shangshu reported that Guo Xun was corrupt and illegal. Emperor Jiajing saw that there were so many houses, shops, land, and property under Zhang Xun's name, and he also bullied the people, and his reputation was so bad that he was finally angry.
On September 12th in the 20th year of Jiajing, Zhao Guoxun went to the Jinyi Guardian Prison to discuss his death. Died in prison on October 9th of the following year.
Sun Hong, Bi Yun, and the nobles who held high self-righteousness were silent...
They didn't expect that Lu Bing would be so simple when he didn't do it.
Regardless of how Guo Xun ended up, and regardless of the plans he made with Sun Hong, Bi Yun, and them, now they have become four differents.
Anyway, Emperor Jiajing had recognized this red pill pill technique, and recognized that this red pill pill technique was a supplement to the Golden Pill Avenue.
In order to seek the elixir of immortality, Emperor Jiajing recruited a large number of thirteen and four-year-old court ladies, and ordered alchemists to use their virgin menstruation to make pills. In addition, in order to keep the maids clean, the maids are not allowed to eat, but can only eat mulberry and drink dew. Therefore, the conscripted palace ladies are all suffering.
In October of the 21st year of Jiajing, Lu Bing already knew that the mysterious person was the one who appeared in the fire in Weihui's palace.
Lu Bing was more vigilant towards the White Lotus Sect. He felt that the conspiracy brewing by the White Lotus Sect was huge, and he could no longer let it go.
But before that, he must first level the monsters behind him.
Bi Yun, who suddenly begged to see him in secret, gave him an excellent opportunity.
Zhang Xun's rapid downfall gave Bi Yun hope in Lu Bing.
Bi Yun explained all the collusion and proposed that he is willing to cooperate with Lu Bing to kill Sun Hong.
"Have you decided?" Lu Bing looked at Bi Yun directly.
"These years... the sins our family has suffered... you can also think about it." Bi Yun couldn't help crying. Three points of these tears are acting, but seven points are sent with emotion: "Our family only asks for freedom, as long as you can help. I, the East Factory will listen to you in the future, and our brothers will work together!"
"Okay, I promise you." Seeing this, Lu Bing couldn't bear it, so he agreed. Besides, he really needs some help.
From Bi Yun's mouth, it turned out that from the eleventh year of Jiajing to the present, every pile, nothing, almost everything, there is no shadow of Sun Hong, and Sun Hong is the driving hand behind it.
Sun Hong contributed to everything that happened to him.
Knowing the truth, even if Bi Yun did not cooperate, Lu Bing would not let Sun Hong go.
Bi Yun reminded: "You can't underestimate the old guy. He has been in the palace silently for decades. How many ministers and eunuchs have risen and fallen, he can stand up and down, but you can think of him hiding. How deep. He has been ill for many years, but he is still in power. Therefore, no one knows how much energy is hidden behind him except for the iron barrel-like imperial horse guard run by him."
"Since you came to me, naturally there is a way." Lu Bing said with a smile.
Bi Yun laughed too...
