Beijing city.

Longevity Palace.

The door in the middle of the monastery was wide open, and the cold wind outside the palace carried a few snowflakes, drifted in through the door and windows, and blew the curtains.

All the chamberlains were shivering with cold, but they didn't dare to move at all, and they were suffering.

Just because there was a figure inside the house, moving with the wind, and it was so smooth.

That was Jiajing, who was wearing only a single layer of clothing. He had a flowing black beard and was as light as a swallow. He had his hands behind his back and his sleeves bulging as he ran quickly.

Running around the monastery a few times was not enough. Jiajing ran directly into the hall and circled the large white marble stove.

These copper stoves are usually lit, and what is burned inside is not incense, but inch-long silver charcoal. The fire is red with cyan color, without a trace of smoke, but it can make the room warm as spring.

It is also turned off today, just because Long Live Lord wants to verify the Taoism.

Jiajing was indeed working hard, and his brows were full of happiness.

Although he had felt that the cold and heat were not invading in the past, he knew that his body was more or less unwell, yet he still had to suppress the pain.

But this time, his face was rosy and his energy was boundless. When he ran back to the monastery, circled the Bagua a few times, and returned to his seat gracefully, Jiajing couldn't help but let out a long roar: "Ho!"

"

After hearing the roar of tigers and roars of dragons, all the chamberlains knelt down, their originally slightly painful expressions filled with sincere awe.

An uncontrollable smile appeared on Jiajing's face: "Light the stove, they are mortals and can't stand the cold!"

The servants kowtowed repeatedly, and Chen Hong, who was also unable to bear the cold, said with a trembling voice: "Master is kind! Master is kind!

"

After Jiajing showed mercy, his eyes fell on the treasure basin in front of him.

There are exotic flowers and fruits on display in the pots, but whoever takes a first look will fall on the huge fairy peach in the center.

The round and smooth outlines, the bright colors, and even the wisps of fragrance wafting out, vaguely reveal the grand scene of the heaven and the boundless grand occasion.

When Jiajing saw it, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to wave. The aroma of the longevity peach seemed to be really spiritual, and it penetrated directly into the nose, preventing other servants from enjoying it.

The Taoist emperor thought about it for a long time, and raised the corner of his mouth: "Tianshi Tao is still Tao Tianshi. Only the divine Tao has shown signs of recovery and can offer such immortal treasures!"

As the temperature in the room rose, Chen Hong regained his composure and hurriedly complimented: "Long live the Lord's blessings to the heavens. I have the blessings of the gods, not only the longevity peach, but also many auspicious blessings in the future to help me practice and enjoy the great road!"

Jiajing raised his eyebrows and said, "You might understand sometimes."

Chen Hongdui said with a smile: "With the master, long live the Lord, chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven. How can we, the slaves, not learn from this?"

Jiajing glanced sideways, and if it was Lu Fang, he could understand the meaning instantly, but Chen Hong could only rely on indirect answers.

Without Li Shizhen's pressure, how could Tao Zhongwen offer the fairy peach? He might have hidden it and enjoyed it himself!

In the same way, if Tao Zhongwen is offering fairy peaches now, then Li Shizhen should be anxious after getting the news!

In this way, the competition between the two sides will not bring a lot of auspiciousness to help practice?

There's just one problem.

Jiajing's eyes fell back on Shoudao again, looking at it and examining it.

He spent his days smelling the food. It wasn't that he didn't want to eat it, but every time he opened his mouth, he felt that the immortal energy was too strong and he couldn't bear it.

According to Tao Zhongwen, this is to take good care of the body, wait until all the impurities are removed, and then enjoy the fairy peaches, then your life will be extended by the same day and month, and your life will be as long as the mountains and seas.

For this purpose, the heavenly master also presented another set of exercises and accompanying elixirs.

As for how long this recuperation will take?

Tao Zhongwen divined a hexagram, which revealed a lot of confusion, but the essence was that he didn't say anything.

Jiajing understood that if he really lived forever, Tao Zhongwen would be useless. Naturally, this heavenly master did not want to achieve it in one step.

What's more, the other party is already a highly respected minister. Apart from taking a step forward in the title, there is almost no reward, and he can't achieve it in one step.

But then, a problem arises.

If you can't really eat it and just smell it, is Shoudao really as amazing as he said?

So Jiajing immediately thought of the Taoist doctor who stayed in the southeast and still refused to move.

The appearance of Li Shizhen gave Tao Zhongwen a sense of crisis, which is why he took this action. Now it is time for Li Shizhen to find fault and see if this longevity peach is worthy of its name...

But with this thought, Jiajing was slightly startled again.

Since when did I start to regard the Taoist doctor as seriously as the Celestial Master?

Just as he was thinking about this question, he squinted his eyes slightly and saw that Chen Hong was looking at Shoudao like a fool, and he was also looking at Shoudao. He seemed to be very greedy?

Are you greedy too?

Jiajing was unhappy, but showed no expression on his face. Instead, he asked, "How is Dongchang going these days?"

Chen Hong was startled and said in a dry voice: "I don't know."

Jiajing's eyes officially turned away, his eyes widened and stern: "Are you willing to let you take charge of Dongchang?"

Chen Hong was shocked and turned pale, and hurriedly bowed down: "I dare not, this slave. The duties of Dongchang have always been supervised by our ancestors..."

The leader of Dongchang is called the eunuch of Dongchang, commonly known as the factory master or the governor. He is the second-ranking eunuch after the eunuch of the ceremonial department. He is usually the second or third-ranked eunuch of the ceremonial department.

He served as eunuch Bingbi, and his full official title was "Imperial Commissioner Dongchang Official School Service Eunuch", or "Admiral Dongchang" for short.

Lu Fang served as the eunuch in charge of the ceremony and the admiral of the East Factory. He was the first internal official in the Ming Dynasty to obtain such power. Starting from him, he also had administrative power and supervisory power, giving birth to many powerful eunuchs in the future.

Jiajing was relieved about Lu Fang, but when he heard Chen Hong's name, he raised his eyebrows: "What ancestors, didn't Lu Fang warn you not to call you like this in front of me?"

"Slave Zhang Zui! Palm Zui!"

When Chen Hong was frightened, he gave several maids pockets, but then he secretly raised his eyes and looked at the Long Live Lord, wondering if Lu Fang had fallen out of favor, and that he wanted to take the throne because he was pleased with his master...

Jiajing felt more and more disgusted. If it were any other emperor, an undesirable eunuch would never stay in the ceremonial department, but it was different with him.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Among these eunuchs, there are always one or two who are superficially favored, but in fact they are not what they want. It is not a pity to abandon them at the critical moment, and when foreign ministers see them

, the emperor has abandoned his confidants, what else can be said, it is natural to give in and compromise.

Chen Hong is going to suffer now: "Lv Fang is old. She has been lying on the bed these days. Even if she recovers from her illness, it is difficult to leave the palace. Tao Zhenren has prepared the Taoist spiritual food for the dragon girl. This is

This matter cannot be delayed, you take Dongchang and protect him all the way to Zhejiang."

Chen Hong subconsciously said: "Yes! Yes!"

Jiajing said: "If Dragon Girl is not suitable for the spiritual food prepared by the Heavenly Master, please invite Divine Doctor Li to the capital. I would like to meet this unique Taoist doctor."

Chen Hong finally came to his senses and lowered his body, almost touching the ground. His ecstasy could not be suppressed, and he spoke in a slightly trembling voice: "Yes! Yes! I will definitely live up to my master's grace and do my job well."

Done!"

Jiajing warned: "Go back and tell Lu Fang and listen more to what he means."

Chen Hong kowtowed repeatedly: "Yes! Yes! Master, please rest assured!"

After stepping back and leaving the monastery, Chen Hong's feet almost floated up. He floated all the way back to the Supervisor of Ceremonies and walked into Lu Fang's house.

Lu Fang has been ill for the past few days and is still lying on the bed, feeling a little depressed.

Following the long live the master, the windows and doors are not closed in the winter. You must be strong to endure it. Lu Fang is not young anymore, so it is normal to catch the cold occasionally.

"I'm afraid this old man is about to die. No wonder His Majesty chose me and arranged for me to take over!"

But it was just a cold. In Chen Hong's eyes at this time, Lu Fang had already half-stepped into the underworld, and the legendary hooker might be waiting outside the house, ready to throw the chain.

To be honest, if Jiajing hadn't specifically ordered it, Chen Hong would have wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to bypass Lu Fang and take control of Dongchang first before talking about anything else.

Lu Fang had not yet fallen asleep. She was holding a bowl of millet porridge and drinking it slowly. When she saw Chen Hong's eyes brightening and his brows filled with excitement, he walked in. For a moment, he thought the longevity peach was ready to be taken:

"Master, is there any happy event?"

"This old man looks like he's thinking about everything for Long Live all day long. Hasn't he been deprived of his position as the admiral of the East Factory?"

Chen Hong sneered in his heart again, took the porridge bowl, and began to feed him respectfully: "No, ancestors, you must take good care of your health. Your Majesty is thinking of you!"

Lu Fang smiled gently and said: "Then what happy event do you have in mind? Let me tell you!"

This power and majesty in the palace have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Chen Hongzhen was still a little uneasy when he said the words. He took a deep breath and said: "Long live the Lord, I want the child to take care of things in the East Factory."

…”

Lu Fang's smile paused for a moment, but only for a moment: "Master Shengming, I really can't take care of it lately. If there is something important in the East Factory, I really want you to take care of it."

Chen Hong remained respectful: "Returning to our ancestors, Long live the Lord really wants me to do something. He is to escort the Taoist spiritual food to the south of the Yangtze River and give it to the dragon girl..."

Lu Fang's eyes moved: "That's it?"

Chen Hongdao: "We must also bring Dr. Li Shizhen back to the capital!"

Lu Fang was speechless. This person was immersed in his fighting schemes all day long. He was quite good at being a ceremonial supervisor, but he often had trouble understanding the key points of his master, Long Live the Lord.

Jiajing's intention was to let Tao Zhongwen and Li Shizhen compete with each other to promote spiritual practice. Li Shizhen was naturally the top priority. Wasn't the dragon girl awakened from the Dragon Palace by the other party?

Of course, we should quickly recruit Li Shizhen to Beijing. There is another point, and that is Tao Zhongwen's Xiantao. What is the situation?

In fact, not to mention Jiajing's suspicion, Lu Fang felt that something was wrong with Shoudao.
