Chapter 462 The Emperor of Heaven travels to the immortal world
The three mountains on the sea are surrounded by green maidens, and the palace of heaven is far away in the blue clouds. It has been said in ancient times that the Qiongtai is very different, and people would rather know the jade and the cold?
The setting sun is full of hibiscus smoke, and the autumn wind is full of dew on the osmanthus trees. It’s a lonely journey, but who can see the flute playing the flute and the colorful luan?
This poem was written by Taihebo Wen Zhengming, the father of Concubine Shu, who is still the dean of Huangming University. The name of the poem is "Qionghua Island", which is about the island in the North Sea between the Forbidden City and Huangming University.
This large area of water is called Taiye Pool, and it consists of three parts: the North Sea, the Central Sea, and the South China Sea.
Qionghua Island is the pearl on Taiye Lake. It got its name in the Jin Dynasty and was their "Longevity Mountain" in the Yuan Dynasty. The pavilions, terraces and pavilions on the island are scattered in various heights, distributed according to the mountain topography, and are hidden among the green pines and cypresses.
At this moment, there are no white pagodas or Buddhist temples on Qionghua Island that were later built by the Manchu and Qing monarchs.
However, during the re-planning of the imperial city a few years ago, many courtyards were built on the island, forming a Taoist temple.
While Tao Zhongwen went to "work" at the Polytechnic Institute, his contribution was officially recognized as the "Real Person of Shenxiao's Protector of the Country", and he had a special "Taoist Temple" located here.
The name of Guan is strange, it is called Wanhua.
Qionghua originally means the flower of the Qiong tree, which is a sacred tree on Penglai Island. It is said that people can live forever after eating it.
The architectural layout built in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties is somewhat imitating the fairyland of Yaochi.
There is also a Wanhua Temple on the island, and Tao Zhenren has been favored for many years.
After the emperor became interested in fairy tales, Wu Cheng'en, a down-and-out scholar, moved into Qionghua Island.
On the eve of the wedding ceremony, the royal chariot arrived here again.
In addition to Tao Zhongwen and Wu Chengen, King Rui and several academicians of the Academy of Sciences, doctors from the Polytechnic Institute and professors from Huangming University were also summoned here.
Later, the government and the public gradually came to know what kind of topic the emperor had enthusiastically raised at several tea parties that had been held since this time.
It's called "Imagination Meeting on Immortal Magical Artifacts".
This makes people sweat profusely, and the name just doesn't feel right.
Yang Shenming knew that he was a little sensitive now, but his sense of responsibility still drove him to go to Zhu Houcong to admonish him: The Great Harmony Party in the world was newly established, and state affairs are complicated. Why does your majesty ask ghosts and gods?
Zhu Houcong's reaction was: Ah, yes, yes, I understand.
Then he continued to organize the second time.
The person involved, Wu Chengen, was very confused.
In fact, at the meeting, the content of the discussion between the emperor and everyone was quite serious, although they were also very trusting.
But Tao Zhenren is obviously not just a Taoist priest. There are various ingenious tools in Wanhua Temple. According to Tao Zhenren, this is a large laboratory.
The reason why he is still called Taoist Temple is also the reason why Tao Zhenren is a real person. He still doesn’t know how future generations will view him as a “real person”. But when he was still alive, he became a well-known figure in the Taoist sect, which felt very satisfying in his heart. .
The emperor also fulfilled his small wish and asked him to continue working hard and bring disciples from both Taoism and Huangming University.
When his discoveries become more systematic, he can start a sect and create a discipline called "chemistry" starting from the word "wanhua".
The emperor gave Wu Chengen the task: to write another masterpiece and write about a prosperous fairy-like future, where everyone lives like a fairy.
And this meeting seemed to be specially held for him.
Wu Chengen felt that it was not just that, the emperor seemed to be inspiring other academicians, doctors and professors.
"I think this magical magic of the Immortal Family is just a mortal's fantasy of how powerful he can be." At this second meeting, Zhu Houcong entered the state and talked eloquently, "For example, there are no people in Feitian.
Try. During the reign of Taizu, Tao Chengdao led a group of his disciples to offer fire artifacts and was granted the title of Ten Thousand Households. He later thought about flying to the sky with kites and rockets. Although he unfortunately died, I think he was on the right path.
"
"Now I have long understood that water has buoyancy, and air also has buoyancy. These forces all interact with each other. As long as we understand the principles of birds flying in the sky, and why their wings can fly in the wind, human power will not be incapable of flying in the sky..."
Of course, airplanes cannot be made now, but the emperor is interested in telling the general principles of many things through his imagination about the future of physics, which can inspire them to research in certain directions.
If Zhu Houcong wanted Wu Chengen's future novels to withstand careful scrutiny, he would direct his interest in gods and ghosts to this form of "immortal artifacts."
Kill two birds with one stone.
Wu Chengen was led by the emperor to constantly open up his mind and accept the spirit.
Don't tell me, some things sound like that.
And the first generation of academicians, Ph.D.s, and professors who had already begun to have some scientific interests were even more teased.
"Your Majesty, can a mortal master the power of thunder and lightning?"
Zhu Houcong replied with great enthusiasm: "I think there is nothing impossible. Didn't you see that there are lightning diversion pillars built in the Forbidden City? The thunder and lightning will be attracted by the fine iron and lead to the earth without causing trouble. It should make sense. I say that I have a thorough understanding.
Is it a lie to say that the Dao of Physics is close to the Dao of Heaven? After getting the microscope, Master Tao studied various substances carefully and saw many things that he could not understand before."
Tao Zhongwen nodded: "There are indeed endless mysteries. Now, King Rui and I have been able to see very small things that cannot be seen with just two eyes. It really feels like what the Buddhists say is like a sand and a world..."
The Taoist master suddenly said the words in "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra", but what he wanted to prove was the physical path mentioned by His Majesty. This scene makes people feel quite strange.
Prince Rui said: "If you look at it with a microscope, you will see how many tiny bacteria and worms there are in the world. They cannot be distinguished with the naked eye, but with a microscope you can see everything at a glance. It is indeed worthy of the name of the magical artifact that your majesty said. Today I brought a new one
Come with the polished microscope, it will open your eyes!"
Seeing is believing. Seeing large plant cells and large bacteria can be quite shocking.
King Rui's point of view is: "Now, according to your Majesty's decree, I am afraid that I can only study medicine first. Your Majesty decreed that some of these bacteria and worms are pathogenic and some are beneficial. If these reasons can be studied clearly, then
You will be able to take a big step forward in the medical field. If you can reach the end of the medical path, you will have no regrets and live a long life. What is it if it is not a fairy? If you can understand the secrets of thunder and lightning and use them for your own use, what is it but a fairy?
What is the Dharma? Your Majesty’s holy science, there are many other subjects that require special study.”
"That's right!" Zhu Houcong nodded expectantly, "Although I have understood some great principles, the road still needs to be walked step by step. The most important thing now is to lay a good foundation for each subject and standardize it. The imperial court
The new measurement standards are formulated to make research in many disciplines more standardized and convenient."
More people had just seen the horrifying sight through the microscope, and when they looked at the emperor, they felt like looking at a god.
After comprehending some great principles, he made arrangements after handling state affairs, and allowed Tao Zhenren and Prince Rui to have a glimpse of such a secret.
What kind of talent is this?
Zhu Houcong looked at them and said with sharp eyes: "In the past twenty-one years, the courtiers have grown from being worried to now trusting me more and more. This has proved that many of the principles I have learned are correct. To be precise, I may
I have traveled through the prosperous fairy world in Xuanxuan and seen many magical artifacts!"
The words were so shocking that Zhu Houcong didn't bother to care about what legend he would leave behind.
Anyway, there are many stories of encounters with immortals in legends, and now he is just using this method to strengthen the confidence of these people.
Superstitious? To be honest, Zhu Houcong is just a mystery when he comes here. Maybe in the future, he can finally develop some reasonable scientific explanation?
Wu Chengen opened his eyes wide: So His Majesty is interested in things involving gods because he has experienced them?
"Just like a dream..."
Zhu Houcong simply found a cover and began to describe what a world where science was prosperous was like.
High-rise buildings connected to the sky, giant flying steel birds, colorful electric lights and appliances that are self-illuminating without fire, small artifacts that are thousands of miles apart but can see each other instantly. In the fields, after fertilizers are continuously produced from factories, various new crops can be grown.
Extremely strong.
Listening and listening, these Ming Dynasty's best "scientists" gradually became stunned.
In this way, the original accounting method, the later Jinke Fertilizer Plant, the steam engine, the microscope... many of His Majesty's actions found their source.
This does not detract from his miraculous power, but rather confirms the speculation of divine instruction, because many things have indeed appeared in the Ming Dynasty and are bringing about changes.
"I am now more and more convinced that the prosperous fairy world I saw in my dream can come true! As long as we continue to study in various subjects, it will be sooner or later that everyone will be fed and warm, and live like a fairy life in the Datong fairy world.
Matter. Since I have this opportunity, you must help me to open this glorious road!"
Tao Zhongwen looked at the emperor with great envy.
No matter what happens now, he is still a Taoist priest after all, and he once expected to succeed in making alchemy and ascend to heaven.
But Your Majesty actually had such a destiny!
For a moment, everyone was like extremely devout believers, kneeling on the ground and praising: "Your Majesty, the divine monarch of destiny, I am truly lucky to have such an opportunity to study the Tao!"
Qionghua Island is strangely like a missionary meeting, filled with a religious atmosphere of fanaticism.
It's just that this new "religion" has become what His Majesty calls science.
Later, the rumor that His Majesty once had a connection with immortals and traveled to the immortal world gradually spread.
Twenty-one years after the emperor ascended the throne, the theory that he was the divine king of destiny and that immortal gods came to the world became popular among the people.
The changes that had taken place in the Ming Dynasty also made many people have to be skeptical, and it was difficult to firmly question that some of the emperor's decisions were wrong.
On the day of the wedding ceremony, the ministers of state were also watching the ceremony.
Yang Shen was about to preside over the ceremony. Yan Song and others looked at the festive Meridian Gate and couldn't help but glance at each other.
No matter who is stirring up trouble and discussing how long the emperor can remain in power, they still want to create a bit of uncertainty. Now, although the emperor's concern about "immortals" is not for longevity, it makes his subjects feel that he is more serious.
It is the British Lord who descended from heaven and came only to recreate the Ming Dynasty.
Twenty-one years have passed, and the Ming Dynasty is no longer a Ming Dynasty that suffers from the enemy, and it is no longer a Ming Dynasty that is troubled by financial difficulties.
He proved his wisdom with his achievements. Now, the emperor who created a new culture has also put on the more convincing cloak of "the emperor descended from heaven". Can some people with ulterior motives really achieve anything by relying on those small means?
Even for the entire group of old gentry who feel that their advantages have been weakened after the implementation of the new examination syllabus and the new academic system, aren't they afraid that they will "go against heaven and be punished by heaven"?
That was a decision made by His Majesty who had traveled through the Immortal World. It was an irrefutable method from the more prosperous Immortal World, and it would definitely be better than the current one!
Furthermore, the "Fairy Association" on Qionghua Island turned out to be like this, so since the emperor can have "immortal fate", isn't it equivalent to telling the world openly: Just look, I will definitely live for a long time.
Isn't it natural that people who are destined to live longer live longer?
Since the emperor can live for a long time, not only is it not a problem whether he can break the reign record of the Great Tomorrow, but those who want to challenge the authority of the current emperor must also think about it again.
Isn’t it good to be alive?
Are you going against the Ming Emperor, the immortal emperor who "descends to earth" and has now been firmly on the throne for twenty-one years?
Regardless of whether it is internal people or external people, I am afraid that when the name of the Great Ming Dynasty spreads to foreign countries, there may be some believers who are eager to become a member of the "Great Ming Immortal Land".
Now, the new queen's guard of honor enters the Forbidden City from the royal road.
When Zhu Houcong made up a rhetoric about "traveling to the immortal world" in order to encourage those people to continue on the path of science, he also gained a strange kind of adoration and enthusiasm in the palace.
He was originally the emperor, but now he has become a fairy. Needless to say, the eunuchs and maids are more in awe of him, and the concubines also have some strange enthusiasm when interacting with the "immortal body".
Now that's not just the emperor's rain and dew, it's the fairy dew.
Maybe just cut off the hair and cleanse the marrow, absorb some immortal energy and immortality, and prolong life?
Thirty-six-year-old Zhu Houcong was very familiar with his "remarriage" this time. After nightfall, he once again came to Kunning Palace, which he had not seen for a long time.
With new people and a new atmosphere, Kunning Palace changed some decorations according to Sun Lan's preferences.
Zhu Houcong looked at Sun Lan's shy face and really thought of Sun Ming.
The two are not very similar in appearance, but their shy look and her same identity make them feel very similar to what they felt twenty years ago.
Zhu Houcong also thought of Sun Jiao: he gave birth to two precious daughters, both of whom were honored by their mothers.
At that time, he rejected his father's proposal of marriage, but later returned the favor.
"Now, I am not your brother-in-law, I am your husband." Zhu Houcong also wanted her not to fall into the perception of being a tool, so he smiled and stroked her soft face and asked her to raise her head.
Looking at myself, "You are you, she is she. This is the best kiss, you can look at me boldly."
Sun Lan indeed considers herself to be a tool. The two brothers told her the euphemistic truth, and the eldest princess Yongkang also told her.
My sister may indeed have the intention to remind the emperor of her kindness when he looks at her, but being able to become the empress and mother of the world, isn't that the best arrangement that her sister can give her?
Sun Lan doesn't know much now. She is still at an innocent age and has no other ideas.
On the wedding night, the emperor's palm gradually made her face feel warm. Sun Lan opened her eyes nervously and looked at the emperor's face close at hand.
She had seen this face many times, and she had never dared to take a closer look at it before.
Now, I only notice that the emperor's eyes are soft, there is a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his beard is carefully groomed, full of mature, stable, and wise masculinity.
Yes, thinking that is a kind of masculinity, and soon she will be the woman who has sex in front of him.
It's a man and his woman.
Sun Lan's heart beat faster and faster, and the smile in Zhu Houcong's eyes grew stronger: "Let me see the differences that belong only to you. From now on, I will only remember these differences of yours."
The emperor stretched out his hand, and Sun Lan closed her eyes again, trembling and murmuring: "Your Majesty..."
Unlike those emperors who only knew how to get and ask for things, Zhu Houcong at least had some of his own understanding of men and women in the "immortal world".
We may not know what will happen in the future, but she is his woman after all. Letting his woman know that he is only passionate because he loves her is the beginning of keeping her heart from becoming cold.
Start by melting her.
There was spring again in Kunning Palace. After Zhu Houcong woke up from her side, he made another decision that made the harem feel completely new.
The emperor once again used Qianqing Palace as his residence.
For so many years, the emperor has stayed in the Yangxin Hall.
Is this a lack of desire?
In fact, it's not that complicated, except that the front yard of Yangxin Hall is a bit small now.
After twenty years, there are more and more files in the Royal Study Room, and the responsibilities of the bachelors who accompany the Royal Study Room have become more and more clear.
Now, it is necessary to directly help the emperor to contact some key people in the yamen, such as the Huangming Assets Bureau, the Academy of Sciences, and the Military Affairs Conference.
Among the new Jinshi, Tan Lun was appointed to the Royal Study Office and first published the memorials of the Tongzheng Enshi Department.
Together with Tan Lun, four people were appointed to serve in the imperial study. Under the leadership of Yang Bo, Hu Zongxian and Shen Lian were responsible for forming the emperor's direct secretarial team.
The emperor sat on the throne of Qianqing Palace again, showing even more majesty.
After the Imperial Academy had a new location, the Central Round Hall was once again vacated and returned to its original function as a "study" by Zhu Houcong, becoming a library.
Sun Lan felt that this was a change made by the emperor for her.
When she looked south in front of the Kunning Palace, she knew that the Emperor was closer to the Qianqing Palace, which was only one hall away, instead of the Yangxin Palace, which was closer to Concubine Shu.
Thinking of the emperor whispering to her, "Come here tonight", Sun Lan couldn't help but look forward to it sweetly.
She is indeed different from her sister. His Majesty praised her so much before and couldn't put it down.
