Chapter 142: The cold spring comes and the angel arrives
Rumors that good and evil are rewarded disappear even faster in the palace. "" Advertisement txt download Neither the princess nor the prince will allow such rumors to spread in the palace.
Although he witnessed the solar eclipse, after a few days of panic, the palace returned to calm.
Even if the government school is accompanied by everyone, everyone is busy working on their own in order to prepare for the ceremony of becoming a child in August. After the crown prince has passed the ceremony, the government school will be dismissed, and everyone will officially start working on their errands.
Even if everyone hasn't heard the exact message now, they still have a rough idea of where they can be and what errands they can do. After all, in the two years since the prince passed away, everyone has been learning to be errands.
The only ones who are uncertain are Dao Chi and Lu Bing.
Dao Chi has already revealed that he will go to the capital to study for two years; Lu Bing is currently too young to make up for the errand.
That afternoon, the prince sent someone to sneak over from the school grounds, including Dao Chi and Lu Bingti, and they were still talking about alchemy.
On the table, placed about two feet high, are all Taoist classics.
The prince looked a little depressed, looked at the Taoist idiot and said: "Erlang, I have read all the books I can, but there is no record of life-saving pills."
It turned out that after the solar eclipse, the prince had privately mentioned to Dao Chi and Lu Bing about the pills to save people, lamenting that the world is so big and there are so many capable people and lofty ideals, why no one gave the emperor life-saving pills. The emperor started taking pills from September last year.
The month started without hesitation, and it has been half a year now.
The Taoist idiot advised him to search in books to see if he could find any clues.
The prince knew that Dao Chi loved reading, so he was not surprised by his suggestion.
In his opinion, perhaps it was because the emperor's status was so valuable that no one dared to take the risk of "donating medicine". Or maybe someone was cutting off the emperor from outside news and did not want the emperor to recover from his illness.
However, the more Taoist classics he read, the more the prince discovered all kinds of contradictions and emptiness. And because the Taoist idiot mentioned "people who lived long in ancient times" in the alchemy room last time, the prince also paid serious attention to it.
How can we be sure of what is recorded in the unofficial history notes? The birthdays that really have a proven record are only those with a 100th birthday.
The Taoist idiot can only show his helplessness and has no other suggestions.
The prince then thought of the great monk of Xishan Temple who raised the Taoist idiots, and said: "I heard that Master Puhui lived to be ninety years old, one of the longest-lived people in the world. Does Erlang know what the master's health care methods are?"
The Taoist Chi thought for a while and said: "Master knocks his teeth a hundred times every morning and evening. Even though he is an old man, he still works as a cart. When he can walk, he walks. [氵kun] [氵kun] [小] [说] [网]
[\\com]The diet should be vegetarian, with less salt, and there should be wild vegetables on the table in all seasons.”
The prince listened carefully, and the more he listened, the more he felt it made sense. The theory of tapping teeth to maintain health has long been recorded in the historical materials left by the predecessors. As for practicing vegetarianism to maintain health, although I don’t know what the truth is, the Buddhist Taoism is indeed better than
Ordinary people are more likely to live longer.
Lu Bing looked at a table of Taoist classics and couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He was already thirteen years old and knew that the matter was serious. Seeing that he was a Taoist idiot, he did not persuade the prince to believe in Taoism. Instead, he was suspected of "blindly following", and he was very anxious.
When he came out of the Qiyun Hall, he couldn't help complaining: "Second brother, Your Highness is the lord of the vassal country, why do you spend all day searching for immortals and asking questions? What if the prince really has the desire to transcend the world? Second brother
Brother, who always understands best, why is he following His Highness in his mischief?"
The Taoist Chi said in a low voice: "If there is immortality, the world is still the First Emperor's. How can there be Han, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties? It's just that Your Highness is too deeply influenced by the prince and is too addicted to Taoism. Instead of letting Your Highness pursue the illusory immortality, why not
Why don't you let Your Highness go find the way to longevity? The way to longevity is that cinnabar poisons people; the way to longevity is to maintain your health. In this way, Your Highness will only cherish your body more and more."
Lu Bing took a long breath and said: "So it turns out that I was wrong. I wrongly blamed the second brother. I am here to apologize to the second brother. I thought that the second brother was led by His Highness and started to believe in it. These days, the second brother has read a lot of Taoist books.
Quite a bit." As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "Second brother did just right. My mother once mentioned that His Highness' temperament can be persuaded but not stopped."
The two looked at each other and felt a little closer.
After a few days, everyone's attention shifted from the solar eclipse to the "late spring cold".
It was obviously mid-spring, the spring was bright, the flowers were red and the willows were green, everyone had already changed into silk clothes, and the charcoal pots in the house were gone; but suddenly, the wind and clouds changed color, snow was falling all over the sky, and the spring was as cold as winter.
Not one or two of the servants in the palace were infected with typhoid fever due to the drop in temperature. Even in the palace school, one fell ill, Lu Wenzhao.
He rarely went to school in the past two years. He was the weakest among everyone. At first he only had a fever and a runny nose, and by the second day he was bedridden.
He was the eldest son of the Lu family. Since he was ill, of course the palace could not hide the illness from the Lu family. The prince asked Wang Qi to go on his behalf and send word to the Lu family.
The last doctor in Anlu was in the palace. But his eldest son was seriously ill, and Lu's father couldn't just leave his son in the palace to recuperate. After asking for two prescriptions, Lu's father summoned Lu Wen out of the palace.
The prince didn't retain anyone. Although he didn't like Lu Wenzhao very much among his fellow students, since he was left to study at the mansion for three years, he certainly had to be used.
If he really couldn't afford to fall ill, wouldn't it be a loss to the palace?
On March 14th, there was another spring snowfall.
However, due to the "late spring cold" a few days ago, the palace had already prepared. When the weather turned bad, thick clothes and a charcoal basin were all ready.
The large kitchen of the palace was also filled with the smell of ginger soup.
Dao Chi was a little worried about his family, so he sent Jingzhe to go back. He felt relieved knowing that Wang Ning was in good health.
Although no one says anything like "the weather is abnormal" anymore, every time everyone mentions the weather this spring, they can't help but sigh a few times.
Even a Taoist idiot can notice that the climate is different.
The so-called "late spring cold" refers to the cold wave of later generations.
He has lived through more than ten years of cold and heat in the world, and is no stranger to climate changes in the land of Jingchu. In the land of Jingchu, summer begins in April, and autumn begins in October. Summer lasts for six months. Autumn falls in November, and autumn begins in October.
February, January, February is winter and March is spring.
Spring days are both short and unpredictable. There is no shortage of time to wear cotton in the morning and yarn in the afternoon.
The late spring cold usually occurs from late February to early March and occurs two or three times a year.
But this year there were too many.
On March 14th, after the snow fell, the sky was still overcast and not clearing up.
It wasn't until March 18th that the sky became clear again.
The prince's mood became worse again.
There is a decree coming from the capital.
The crown prince received a "special favor" and "preemptively became the king." According to the decree, this favor was obtained by Princess Xing. The reason was that "when the year comes, Qinghe sacrifices the heir and pays tribute with regular clothes. Please pay tribute in advance."
Be the king".
However, according to the law, when a prince dies, his son should inherit the title and his descendants should first ask for the imperial edict to manage the affairs of the government. After the service is completed, he is not allowed to ask for the title, and he is not allowed to serve as a beggar.
This is not only about law, but also about filial piety.
Although everyone in the palace was waiting for the prince to inherit the title, no one expected that it would happen before the prince did so.
This "special favor" is too hot to handle. When the new emperor comes to the throne, others can use "unfilial piety" to criticize the prince.
Princess Xing was dumbfounded. The prince was underage. As a princess, she had written a greeting memorial to the capital on behalf of her son, but she did not remember that she had begged for a title for her son.
The prince originally thought that the princess had been deceived by others, so he was cheated. When he found out that the princess had not been cheated, he felt that the situation was unusual and hurriedly asked people to report it to Yuan Zonggao and Lu Song.
Yuan Zonggao and Lu Song were also confused by this decree of "preemptive attack is king".
To say it is grace, it is indeed grace. No other royal palace has granted a title in the palace. However, this edict clearly explains the reason for "grace", which is the princess's "invitation". If the princess has no children, the crown prince will
Since she was born as a concubine, the princess's move could still be justified; but as the princess was the biological mother of the eldest son, it seemed a bit unruly to be so "hurried".
Thinking that the emperor was in poor health, Yuan Zonggao and Lu Song were a little confused as to whether this decree was a "grace" or a "trap."
However, thinking about the relationship between him and Prince Xing's Mansion, Yuan Zonggao said: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much. The prince is the emperor's uncle. Both the late emperor and the emperor are very kind to the prince. There is no reason for the emperor to fall out at this time.
Thinking about it, the reason why the emperor can issue such a decree is because he sincerely protects the palace, so he has advanced the time for His Highness to attack the prince."
If the emperor has great power and the emperor is young, he will be in the hands of the servants, clan relatives, and cabinet ministers. If someone wants to suppress the vassal king and establish his authority, and the vassal is weak and helpless, it is the best target to suppress.
The prince also thought of this and his face turned red with anger.
He didn't have much resentment towards his cousin whom he had never met before. Instead, he hated those people who wanted to "narrow the emperor to control the princes".
Eunuchs are sinister people who love to bring out bad things. Wang Zhen during the Yingzong period and Liu Jin before today were both powerful eunuchs who covered the sky with one hand.
There are also cabinet ministers and noisy clans. No matter which party is in power, they will try their best to restrain the feudal king.
Although he was angry in his heart, the imperial edict was the imperial edict, and the prince had no choice but to obey it.
However, the prince's uniform had not yet passed, and the palace could not perform any honors. After the prince discussed with Yuan Zonggao, they tentatively decided to just change the clothes and name, and not publicize the matter.
Everyone in the government school did not think that there was anything wrong with the decree. Instead, they felt that this was the "grace" of the emperor. As we all know, the dragon body was not hesitant today. Under such circumstances, he was still concerned about the rejuvenation of the country and allowed the prince to ascend the throne in advance.
Only Taoist idiots, knowing that the prince was the future Emperor Jiajing, could figure out the meaning behind this imperial edict.
"Brothers eventually bring younger brothers together." The prince came to the capital as a vassal king, and his weight was more important than that of the grandchildren recommended by the palace.
This decree was neither grace nor a "trap", but paved the way for the selection of the crown prince as the successor emperor.
This decree was issued from the capital on the ninth day of March and arrived in Anlu on the tenth, which was considered fast.
Although I don’t know who is calling the shots, it is obvious that the big guys in the capital have chosen the crown prince as the heir apparent. Emperor Zhengde, even if he did not die, would still have to live a long life...
