As soon as he entered the palace where Emperor Jiajing practiced immortality and alchemy, Mr. Yan Ge was surrounded by the scent of sandalwood. It was still cold in spring outside, and it was extremely hot in the palace.
However, our Mr. Yan Ge has already adapted to this fragrance and temperature, and his face does not turn red or he is out of breath.
The entire hall was brightly lit, with sandalwood and candles burning everywhere. In the middle of the hall, there was an alchemy furnace as tall as a person with two dragons and beads coiled around it. Seven-color flames were burning under the furnace, and a stream of light emitted from the top of the furnace.
There is a swirling smoke. There is a Tai Chi Bagua mat next to the alchemy furnace. It is made of gold, white jade and various precious materials. This Tai Chi Bagua mat alone can enable ordinary people to struggle for thousands of years.
Sitting cross-legged on the Bagua mat is a somewhat handsome middle-aged man wearing a thick green Bagua Taoist robe, warm shoes on his feet, and a Hunyuan scarf on his head. He has a thin figure and a dignified face. From time to time, this man has a hand in his hand.
Put some strange but extremely precious fuel into the alchemy furnace.
This person wearing a blue cloth Bagua Taoist robe is no ordinary person.
This man is the greatest alchemist in the world and the most powerful alchemist in the world. He is also the helmsman of the Ming Empire, the largest empire in the world today, and the eleventh generation monarch of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Jiajing. His current Taoist name is Ling Xiao.
Lei Yuanyang Miaoyi Feiyuan Zhenjun of the Shangqing Dynasty. This Taoist title is only given to Taoist gods, but who makes him the emperor?
In the past two days, Jiajing Emperor Jue's practice has improved again, and he wants to add a Taoist title to himself: "Nine Heavens Hongjiao Puji Creatures Palm Yin Yang Gong Guo Da Dao Siren Purple Extreme Immortal Weng Yiyang Zhen Yuanxu Xuan Ying Enlightens Subduing Demons Loyal Filial Emperor"
"If you become an immortal in the future, it will be a good show in the sky. It is currently in the planning stage.
In fact, all gentlemen in the Ming Dynasty have quite good personalities. Take the two recent emperors as an example. Jiajing’s predecessor, his brother Emperor Zhengde, was a freedom-loving traveler. He liked armed parades the most; Jiajing, on the contrary to his brother, he
I like to stay at home and squat all day long, practicing elixirs and taking drugs in the hope of immortality. Since I came to Xiyuan, I have hardly moved around.
"Chen Song, pay homage to the real person."
When Mr. Yan Ge entered the palace, he kowtowed to Emperor Jiajing devoutly and skillfully. Normally, when officials saw Emperor Jiajing, they would kneel down and shout, "Long live your majesty, long live long live, long live your majesty." But Yan Song was different from others.
What he shouted was to meet the real person.
Although Yan Song is older, his voice is still as loud as ever.
In addition to the different names, the way Lao Yange kowtows is also different from that of ordinary ministers. Yan Song's kowtowing method is the standard Taoist way of kowtowing.
Before Mr. Yan Ge knelt down, he stood with his feet in an "eight" shape, two to three inches apart, which was very standard. While bowing, he clasped his hands in front of his abdomen. From bottom to top, his right hand moved away, and his left hand covered his heart;
At the same time, lean down calmly and press your right hand on the ground. Kneel down on both knees. Then leave your left hand from your heart and press it on the back of your right hand to form a "ten" shape. Bow down and kowtow with your head on the back of your hands.
Old man Yan Ge knelt on the back of his hand, his old face smiling like a flower. He shouted, "Chen Song, please see the real person."
"Get up, Wei Zhong." Emperor Jiajing, who was sitting on the Tai Chi Bagua mat, couldn't help but smile on his face after hearing Yan Song's bow. Yan Song understood what I meant. Just now, Xu Jie called me long live three times.
It's not as comforting as Yan Song's sentence.
After hearing Emperor Jiajing call him Wei Zhong, Yan Song was very happy. The Holy Emperor did not call him by his name, but called his own character. It could be seen that the Holy Emperor still favored him very much, and his holy family was still there.
"Thank you, Mr. Yan." Yan Song's face was as bright as a smile, then he stood up and stood respectfully aside.
Emperor Jiajing added some more fuel to the alchemy furnace. Seeing that the fire was burning vigorously, he nodded with satisfaction, patted the charcoal shavings on his hands, and stood up from the Tai Chi Bagua mat.
Huang Jin brought water to Emperor Jiajing to cleanse and wipe his hands with a wink, and then ordered the small Huangmen to bring a chair embroidered with Bagua and dragon patterns for Emperor Jiajing to sit on. After Emperor Jiajing sat down, he graciously made room for an extra person.
The little eunuch also moved a chair for Yan Song. Yan Song was moved and knelt down to thank him before sitting down.
After Emperor Jiajing waited for Yan Song to sit down, he began to chat. As they chatted, the topic turned to the upcoming examination.
"Wei Zhong, how is Xu Jie doing in this test?" Emperor Jiajing asked casually.
Based on this sentence, Yan Song had concluded that the emperor had already made up his mind to choose Xu Jie as the person to host the examination. No wonder this old boy Xu Jie just raised his tail, it turned out to be this. Isn't he the one to host the examination?
Well, what's the use of a bunch of brats? However, it's time to spank this old boy Xu Jie.
"Chen Jue's Xu Shangshu is the best candidate to take charge of the examination." Yan Song replied with certainty.
"Oh, why?" Jiajing narrowed his eyes and asked with interest.
"Xu Shangshu's poetry and calligraphy are outstanding. To this day, Xu Shangshu continues to write, and has published many famous works. It is Xu Shangshu's strength."
"Xu Shangshu used to supervise the Imperial College. He has quite a lot of experience in disciplining students and is good at supervising students. He will be in charge of the examinations. It will be no problem."
"In recent days, I have observed that Xu Shangshu has been very diligent, attentive to government affairs, and has managed the Ministry of Rites in an orderly manner. In all the examinations, promotions, promotions, awards, and transfers of officials, Xu Shangshu has been dedicated to his responsibilities, fair and selfless, and is really the work of his ministers.
Role model.”
"Xu Shangshu also has many excellent works on Zhai Jiao Qing Ci"
""
"In a word, Xu Shangshu is both talented and dedicated. He is indeed the best candidate for this examination."
In just a short while, Yan Song praised Xu Jie over and over again: his poetry and calligraphy are good, he has enough management experience, he is diligent, fair and selfless, his poetry is great, and his talent is beyond words.
, etc., etc. In short, Yan Song was full of praise for Xu Jie and repeatedly emphasized Xu Jie's advantages. If it weren't for the limited time, Yan Ge could always praise Xu Jie here all day and night.
If Xu Jie were there, he would definitely blush. He would definitely hold Yan Song's hand and say with emotion, "Hey, I didn't expect you, Lao Yan, to be a real person."
Emperor Jiajing listened to Yan Song's evaluation of Xu Jie and nodded repeatedly, appreciating Yan Song even more.
Did Yan Song get kicked in the head by a donkey? When he saw Xu Jie outside just now, he was still thinking about spanking this old boy. Why is he acting like a coward now, kneeling down to touch Xu Jie without moral integrity?
!
Seeing Emperor Jiajing's admiring eyes on him, Yan Song praised Xu Jie even more enthusiastically.
"Xu Jie is worthy of being the pillar of our dynasty."
Yan Song pushed Xu Jie to the height of a pillar, sighed, and then added in an understatement;
"It's just that Xu Shangshu has been going to His Royal Highness Prince Yu quite frequently recently, because he's afraid he doesn't have enough time."
It's just such a sentence. At first glance, it seems to be an understatement, but upon closer inspection, it doesn't mean much.
Emperor Jiajing paused in nodding when he heard this, and then nodded heavily. The beautiful image of Xu Jie in his heart suddenly collapsed.
He always goes to the third child. Xu Jie has second thoughts. A few months ago, Xu Jie wrote to him to establish a prince. It is said that this boy has already submitted three or four memorials to establish a prince. He always goes to the third child.
Running, no wonder.
This kid, before I die, I am ready to start a new business!
Emperor Jiajing had already made a big cross for Xu Jie in his heart and relegated Xu Jie to the cold palace. He was not going to reuse this two-eyed boy again in the future!
Yan Song was very familiar with Emperor Jiajing. Seeing Emperor Jiajing's expression, Yan Song smiled silently in his heart, "Xu Jie, you still want to fight me, you are so young!"
So what if I praise you a hundred times;
One sentence is enough to hold you down! (To be continued...)
ps: Thank you very much for your support, I finally added a chapter today.
Chapter completed!
