When I live in mountains and rivers, tigers are common, but today when I meet the Holy Spirit, I will see the face of a dragon!
Huang Jin, who was serving beside Jiajing, just heard these words and deeply remembered the young man in the hall who bowed his head and played the right tune!
Huang Jin has been serving Emperor Jiajing since he was the crown prince of Xingxian. Now he has been serving Emperor Jiajing for almost forty years. He has seen many high and small officials around Emperor Jiajing.
There are many, but there are only a handful of them who left such a deep impression on them upon first meeting like this young man.
This boy is extraordinary.
While Huang Jin was still sizing up Zhu Pingan, Emperor Jiajing and Zhu Pingan had several more rounds of dialogue. Most of them were asked by Jiajing and answered by Zhu Pingan. Emperor Jiajing's questions were all very common, and he asked about the scene in the mountain village, and then
He asked about Zhu Ping'an's age, and asked him again about the policies for the imperial examination.
Zhu Pingan also answered one by one. His speech was clear, moderate in speed, logical and full of vitality.
"It's great to be young. I arrived in the capital when I was your age." Emperor Jiajing sighed with emotion after hearing Zhu Ping'an's reply, and then continued, "Although Aiqing is young, she still has great ambitions."
Gao Yuan, learn more, watch more and do more in the future."
"I sincerely obey your Majesty's teachings."
Zhu Pingan was "excited" by Emperor Jiajing's advice and saluted again. At this point, the interview should be over, Zhu Pingan thought in his heart.
When Zhu Ping'an thought the interview was over, he did not expect another sudden surprise. After asking questions, Emperor Jiajing waved his hand and asked a little eunuch serving beside him to bring a red cloth-covered tray and came directly to Zhu Pingan.
In front of Ping'an, there are gold-carved golden roosters, gold fish, golden pigs, golden cows, golden ducks and other objects on the tray.
These golden roosters, golden bulls and other objects are not big, only about one finger. They are flat and probably weigh only about two taels. However, they are very finely carved and lifelike.
"You are outstanding, and I will not be stingy with rewards. My dear, please choose one of them as a reward." Emperor Jiajing sat on the dragon throne and waved to Zhu Pingan.
After being asked to choose one for a long time, I asked why Emperor Jiajing suddenly became so generous. Zhu Pingan was full of slander, but his face showed an expression of gratitude and honor for his ancestors.
"I would like to thank your Majesty for the reward." Zhu Pingan knelt down and saluted.
"I love you, you don't have to be polite." Emperor Jiajing waved his hand, signaling Zhu Ping'an to get up and choose a reward.
Zhu Ping'an knelt down to thank Jiajing and then stood up again. He said "Thank you" to the little eunuch who was holding the tray, and then he started to choose a bigger one. The moment he stretched out his hand, he suddenly realized that Emperor Jiajing had given him a reward.
, it shouldn’t be that simple, this is probably the last interview question.
Emperor Jiajing asked him to choose a golden rooster, a golden fish, a golden pig, a golden cow, and a golden duck, but these things were certainly not something he could choose casually.
Choose a goldfish? The goldfish is carved from gold. The real image is a carp, which is lifelike. The carp jumps over the dragon gate. It is a good sign to choose a carp. Legend has it that there is a majestic dragon gate on the east side of the river. Every spring, there are always carps swimming hard. Upstream,
A carp that jumps over the dragon gate can turn into a dragon. It is also generally used to refer to having good test scores and being ranked first in high school.
It should be the most appropriate choice to choose golden carp.
But when Zhu Pingan reached out to the goldfish, he saw the little eunuch holding the tray and blinked slightly.
Then, Zhu Ping'an stopped and suddenly realized. It's not that simple! It's really not that simple!
The carp jumps over the dragon gate. The carp jumps over the dragon gate and turns into a dragon. Dragon, what do you want to do when you turn into a dragon? I wonder if Emperor Jiajing is the only true dragon! Then Zhu Pingan thought of what was recorded in history and what Emperor Jiajing had in mind.
The curse that made him feel so chilled that the two dragons did not meet each other!
Emperor Jiajing is a strange flower in the history of the Ming Dynasty. After he learned about this so-called curse of two dragons not meeting each other, he implemented it throughout his life!
In the thirteenth year of Emperor Jiajing's reign, Emperor Jiajing, who had been fighting on his bed for thirteen years. Well, maybe the battlefield was elsewhere, but in this year Emperor Jiajing finally welcomed his first son, but unfortunately,
The emperor's eldest son died less than three months after his birth. Emperor Jiajing was extremely sad. At this time, Tao Zhongwen, the most trusted Celestial Master of Emperor Jiajing, reported this curse of "two dragons never meet" to Emperor Jiajing.
Your Majesty, you are the only true dragon in the world. You are the true emperor with destiny and luck. However, your majesty’s son is also the son of a dragon. However, the two dragons do not meet. Your majesty is the true emperor with destiny and destiny.
, There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and there is no room for two dragons on one side. Your Majesty is uniquely blessed by nature, and all the princes are not as good as Your Majesty. When two dragons meet, one of them will be injured!
After listening to Tao Zhongwen's words, Emperor Jiajing broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.
Three years later, Emperor Jiajing successively had princes such as Zhu Zaihe, Zhu Zaihe, and Zhu Zaizhen. However, Emperor Jiajing always kept in mind the curse of "two dragons never meet", and the scene of the death of the emperor's eldest son was always in front of his eyes.
, so Emperor Jiajing never saw these three princes, and he did not dare to make him a prince, for fear of any accidents.
What Emperor Jiajing did was nonsense to outsiders, and the courtiers were talking about it. Emperor Jiajing couldn't stand it, so he took Emperor Jiajing to educate him for a long time. Unable to bear the education of the Queen Mother, Emperor Jiajing had to meet with the biggest queen at present.
We chatted with Zhu Zaihe, the second son of the emperor, and sent him to school. Zhu Zaihe was fourteen years old. This was almost the first time he saw his biological father. He was very excited. However, things are so coincidental.
That night, the second emperor's son Zhu Zaihe fell ill. Within a few days, the second emperor's son also went to see his elder brother.
Emperor Jiajing was almost scared to death. He didn't dare to go beyond the curse of "two dragons never meet", and he didn't even look at his two remaining sons, King Yu Zhu Zaihe and King Jing Zhu Zaizhen.
Even if I saw him in the palace, or if he had to meet me for some important ceremony, I wouldn't say a word.
Now if you choose the golden carp, do you want the carp to jump over the dragon gate and turn into a dragon?
You turned into a dragon, and I, Jiajing, am also a dragon.
What are you doing? I don’t know if the two dragons don’t meet each other! Do you think that I, Jiajing, live too well?! You are not interested in me!
Don't say Zhu Ping'an thinks too much. Emperor Jiajing, who cultivates immortality and refines elixirs, takes some heavy metal elixirs all day long. It is normal for heavy metal poisoning to cause hallucinations. Moreover, Emperor Jiajing himself is a mysterious person who cultivates immortality and immortality. This
There are so many people who care about you!
I would rather believe that it exists than believe that it does not exist!
Thinking of this, Zhu Ping'an crossed over the golden carp with his hand, crossed it normally, landed on the golden rooster on the side, and then took it in his hand.
"My lord, thank you very much for the reward, Your Majesty."
Zhu Pingan held the golden rooster in both hands and knelt on the ground to thank Emperor Jiajing.
Oh, it turned out to be a golden rooster.
Huang Jin, who was serving Emperor Jiajing, was astonished. Zhu Ping'an's choice was beyond his expectation. Those who were summoned individually in front all chose the golden carp. Did the young man do it intentionally or unintentionally?
.If it was an unintentional move, then this young man is very lucky; if it was an intentional move, then this young man is really extraordinary.
"Oh, why did Aiqing choose the golden rooster?" Emperor Jiajing sat on the dragon chair and nodded, asking slowly. He was very satisfied with Zhu Pingan's choice but also very curious.
Of course it was not an accidental move, and I certainly did not choose it randomly. This is something I have carefully considered. Emperor Jiajing, you practice immortality and elixirs, and believe in Taoism. It just so happens that I read a lot of fairy tale novels in modern times, and I also researched a lot of information about Taoism.
Taoism has different feelings for all the beasts and birds in the world, among which the chicken is the deepest. Didn’t the founder of Taoism, Shengxian, leave a saying that "chickens and dogs ascend to heaven". In addition, after the formation of the Taoist sect, the previous popes had great feelings for chickens.
They have deep feelings for each other. It is said that a certain pope was in danger when he was trying to eliminate evil spirits and was saved by a rooster. The pope struggled with the evil spirits for several days and was exhausted and surrounded by dangers. Fortunately, the rooster sang loudly and a crowing called the sunrise.
, assisted the Pope in eradicating the sneakiness.
In addition, the fish that Taoists appreciate is the scaleless mullet, not the carp.
People who believe in Taoism will never eat this kind of mullet. In the eyes of ordinary people, mullet is very hateful, because after the female mullet reproduces and gives birth to baby mullet, she will eat part of the baby mullet she gave birth to.
, Tiger poison does not eat its seeds, your mullet gave birth to small mullet, but you ate the young mullet alive, it is really abominable, extremely hateful, so ordinary people despise and hate mullet, they can no longer despise and hate it.
However, this is not the case in the eyes of people who believe in Taoism. They admire the mullet, and perhaps everyone will wonder how they can still overturn the verdict for the mullet and torma?
Yes, that's right, they not only reversed the verdict, but also raised it to a very high level.
In the eyes of people who believe in Taoism, the mullet is like this: when the female mullet reaches the spawning period, she gestates for several months, exhausts her efforts, and supplies every nutrient in her body to the little mullet in her belly. In order to lay eggs
, she used her last strength to give birth to the little mullet. After giving birth, the female mullet was like a spring silkworm that has run out of silk and a wax torch turned to ashes. She spent all her efforts and could not see it with both eyes.
After she got something and completed her mission, she was waiting to starve to death. What a great mother, what great maternal love, but what is even greater is the filial piety, the filial piety of the little mullet. The mother mullet spends all her efforts in order to give birth,
After exhausting their last strength, they can only wait to starve to death. However, the little mullet are the most filial. They would rather swim into the mouth of the mother mullet and use their immature bodies to satisfy their hunger.
, would rather use his own body than let his mother starve to death.
What kind of spirit is this? The crow feeds back and the lamb kneels to breastfeed. What does it mean in front of this mullet mother?
Therefore, Taoism elevates the mullet to a state of extreme filial piety, the embodiment of filial piety.
So, they appreciate mullet, not carp!
That’s why Zhu Pingan chose the golden rooster instead of the golden carp. (To be continued.)
