Chapter 272 Lao Yan is a real person
As soon as he entered the palace where Emperor Jiajing practiced immortality and alchemy, Lao Yan was surrounded by the scent of sandalwood. It was still very 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 is neither red nor out of breath.
The entire hall was brightly lit, with sandalwood and candles burning everywhere. In the middle of the hall, there is an alchemy furnace that is as tall as a person and surrounded by two dragons and beads. Seven-color flames are burning under the alchemy furnace, and a swirling smoke is emitted from the top of the alchemy furnace. Next to the alchemy furnace is a Tai Chi Bagua mat, which is made of gold, white jade and various precious materials. This Tai Chi Bagua mat alone can last ordinary people for thousands of years.
Sitting cross-legged on the Bagua mat is a somewhat handsome middle-aged man wearing a thick blue Bagua Taoist robe. He may have eaten too much heavy metal elixir and looks a little thin, but he has a very strong feeling all over his body. With the majesty of an emperor, this man would also put some strange but extremely precious fuel under the alchemy furnace from time to time.
This person wearing a blue cloth Bagua Taoist robe is no ordinary person.
This man is the greatest alchemist in the world, the most powerful alchemist in the world, the best at alchemy among powerful people, the most powerful among alchemists, the largest empire in the world today - —The leader of the Ming Empire and the eleventh generation monarch of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Jiajing. The current Taoist title is Lei Yuanyang Miaoyifei Yuan Zhenjun, the Supreme Qing Emperor of Lingxiao. This Taoist title can only be possessed by Taoist gods, but who would let him be the emperor?
In the past two days, Jiajing Emperor Jue's practice has improved again, and he is thinking of adding a Taoist title to himself: "Nine Heavens Hongjiao Puji Life Palm Yin Yang Gong Guo Da Dao Si Ren Zi Ji Xian Weng Yi Yang Zhenren Yuan Xu Xuan" "You should be enlightened, subjugate demons, be loyal and filial to the emperor", and become an immortal in the future, so that he can show off in the sky. It is currently in the planning stage.
In fact, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were quite individual. Jiajing’s cousin, Emperor Zhengde, was a genius with rampant liberalism. Forgive me for my unrestrained love of freedom. I like horse racing and fighting all day long. It’s okay. After doing it, I still like to play Cao Cao's tricks. Just chatting with a married woman under a quilt; Emperor Jiajing is different from his brother. He loves peace and quiet. His biggest hobby is to stay at home and refine elixirs, and then add a bunch of weird immortal names to himself.
"Chen Song, pay homage to the real person."
Mr. Yan Ge entered the palace. Then he kowtowed to Emperor Jiajing devoutly and skillfully. When ordinary ministers saw Emperor Jiajing, they would kneel down and shout, "Long live your majesty, long live, long live, long live your majesty." However, Yan Song was different from others. What he shouted was to pay homage to the real person.
Despite his age, Yan Song’s voice is still as loud as ever.
In addition to the different names, the way Lao Yange kowtows is also different from other ministers. Yan Song's set of kowtows is the standard Taoist way of kowtows.
Mr. Yan Ge knelt on the ground in strict accordance with the Taoist worship ceremony, with his head on the back of his hands, his old face smiling like a flower, and 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 still understands my feelings. Xu Jie called me long live three times just now, but they were not as comforting as Yan Song's words.
After hearing Emperor Jiajing call him Wei Zhong, Yan Song was very happy. The Holy One did not call him by his name, but called his own character. It could be seen that the Holy One still favored him very much, and his holy favor was still there.
"Thank you, Master." Yan Song's face was as bright as a smile, then he stood up and stood respectfully aside.
Emperor Jiajing added some fuel to the alchemy furnace. Seeing the fire 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 was extra kind and asked a young eunuch to move 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.
"Weizhong, how is Xu Jie doing in this test?" Emperor Jiajing asked casually.
Based on this sentence, Yan Song had already concluded that the emperor had already made up his mind to choose Xu Jie as the person to preside over the examination. No wonder the old boy Xu Jie just raised his tail, it turned out to be this. Isn't it just hosting an audition? What's the use of a bunch of young guys? 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 unparalleled. To this day, Xu Shangshu is still writing non-stop. He has published many famous works and is the supervisor of the imperial examination. This is Xu Shangshu’s strength.”
"Xu Shangshu used to supervise the Imperial College. He has quite a lot of experience in disciplining students. He is good at supervising students. It is no problem to take charge of the examination."
"In recent days, I have observed that Xu Shangshu has been more diligent and attentive. Government affairs are managed by the Ministry of Rites in an orderly manner, including examinations, promotions, promotions, and transfers of officials. He is dedicated to his responsibilities and is fair and selfless. He is truly a role model for ministers."
"Xu Shangshu also has many excellent poems for Zhai Jiao Qing."
"."
"One. In short, Xu Shangshu is both talented and dedicated, and is indeed the best candidate for this examination.”
In just a short while, Yan Song praised Xu Jie over and over again, including his good poetry and calligraphy, his rich management experience, his hard work, fairness and selflessness, his excellent poetry, and his talent. , 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 was on the side, 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
While listening to Yan Song's evaluation of Xu Jie, Emperor Jiajing nodded repeatedly and appreciated 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 and having no moral integrity now? Kneel down and climb the stairs!
Seeing Emperor Jiajing's admiring eyes on him, Yan Song praised Xu Jie even more enthusiastically.
"Xu Jie is worthy of being a pillar of our court."
After Yan Song pushed Xu Jie to the height of a pillar, he 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, for fear of not having enough time."
That's it. At first glance, it is an understatement, but upon closer inspection, it has a deeper meaning.
When Emperor Jiajing heard this, he paused in nodding, 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 runs to the third child, no wonder.
This kid really wants me to ride a crane back to the west!
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 like Xu Jie again in the future! Xu Jie has violated the deepest taboo in Emperor Jiajing's heart. Why did Emperor Jiajing practice immortality and elixirs? It was not for the sake of immortality and unification for tens of millions of years. You, Xu Jie, are so anxious to make arrangements for me. You are so cruel. ah!
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 little chicken, you are so young!"
So what if I praise you a hundred times;
One word is enough to hold you down! Now let’s see how you can fight with me. Even if your wings are not strong, you want to fight an eagle. Humph!
Thank you very much for your support, I finally added a chapter today.
