Chapter 16 The Purpose of Son
It’s late at night, but that doesn’t mean everyone will rest.
Because there are always some night owls in this world who are different from ordinary people and behave differently from ordinary people.
But in the Ming Dynasty, it was actually quite pitiful to have such a night owl who had a different schedule than ordinary people.
They don’t have mobile phones or nightclubs. They can only pass the time by sitting in a daze and calculating people’s hearts.
Emperor Jiajing, who had been sitting cross-legged in the monastery for a day of cultivation, was looking energetically at the pile of memorials that Huang Jin had brought.
Huang Jin has been serving Emperor Jiajing for decades, and he has long been accustomed to Emperor Jiajing's life routine.
So even Huang Jin, who does not cultivate immortality, now has to stay up late with an "immortal" like Emperor Jiajing who does not know the cold and heat, and does not know day and night.
Suddenly a gust of wind came from outside the monastery, blowing up countless curtains, and the lights in the monastery also swayed.
When Huang Jin saw this, he immediately moved and wanted to close the doors and windows of the monastery.
But Emperor Jiajing stopped him.
Emperor Jiajing said: "This is the prince coming to say goodbye to me, don't move."
Emperor Jiajing's words made Huang Jin's heart skip a beat, and he couldn't help but look at him carefully. The empty hall in front.
But Huang Jin saw nothing, but since Emperor Jiajing said that the prince came to say goodbye, then it was the prince who came to say goodbye.
So Huang Jin also followed the words of Emperor Jiajing and said: "The prince is so filial to heaven. After he ascended to immortality, he did not forget to come back to visit the emperor. I really feel sorry for the emperor."
Emperor Jiajing stood up, wearing only an extremely thin Taoist robe. The Taoist robe moved with the wind, like an immortal coming to the world. His eyes looked deeply into the void in the distance, as if he had seen the fairy heaven through layers of obstacles.
“The difficulty of cultivating immortality is to establish the roots of immortality, and see the true nature when things happen.”
“Food and sex do not change the nature of a gentleman, but money can easily change the heart of a villain.”
“ Who is not afraid of life and death? Love and hate have their own differences. "
"If you want to become an immortal, you must forget yourself. There is no way for my heart to die."
Emperor Jiajing recited a Taoist poem written by Lu Dongbin in an erratic voice, lamenting the difficulty of practicing Taoism, and at the same time lamenting the sudden death of the prince Zhu Zaihen.
"It's a good thing that the prince ascended to immortality. I shouldn't be sad."
After saying that, Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Although Emperor Jiajing practiced Taoism for a long time and almost became an immortal, the pain of separation of flesh and blood still affected Emperor Jiajing's Taoist heart and reminded him that he was still a human being.
Huang Jin couldn't help but shed tears as he listened to Emperor Jiajing feeling sad for the dead prince.
"The emperor is also an immortal. When he ascends to the immortal world in the future, he will naturally see the prince again. I just ask the emperor to take care of himself now and not to hurt the dragon's body."
Huang Jin looked at the cold wind standing there. The Emperor Jiajing said this with genuine distress.
But Emperor Jiajing did not feel cold. Although he was wearing very thin clothes when standing in the cold wind, the elixir he took daily was too flammable and contained too much lead and mercury. Therefore, Emperor Jiajing's perception of the surrounding environment was also different from ordinary people. Sometimes when others should wear thick clothes, he felt comfortable in the cold wind. Sometimes when others wore single clothes, he also felt comfortable wearing thick clothes. The clothes are comfortable.
It can be said that years of practicing and taking elixirs have caused fundamental changes in Emperor Jiajing's physical condition. It's just that this change was mistaken by Emperor Jiajing that he had succeeded in cultivation and that his mortal body was transforming into an immortal body.
Emperor Jiajing looked at the worried Huang Jin and laughed, "I have an immortal body, and the wind and cold in the world cannot invade my body."
After saying that, Emperor Jiajing opened his arms to feel more comfortable. The cold wind blowing in from outside.
The wind blew up the sleeves of his Taoist robes, and also blew up his hair and beard. Standing in front of the Jingshe Hall, he looked like a living immortal who could inspire the spirit of Fengyunxian. .
After the wind blew for a while, when the wind stopped, Emperor Jiajing turned around and looked at Huang Jin, and said with a somewhat cordial tone: "Huang Ban, do you know? San'er is fine. He was just killed by the prince." The news shocked me. This kid has been timid since he was a child. Do you think he can win?” He said: "Your Majesty, you are really worried. When I went to see Prince Yu today, Prince Yu was so powerful that he almost beat up the imperial doctor. In my opinion, Prince Yu is already a blockbuster without even making a sound. Lord.”
Huang Jin said this not to speak for Zhu Zaijing, but to speak for Emperor Jiajing.
Who would foolishly follow the emperor's words and say that the emperor's son is not good?
Although Huang Jin is the close companion of Emperor Jiajing, this does not mean that Huang Jin can disparage the prince at will.
When Emperor Jiajing heard that Zhu Zaijing was going to beat the imperial doctor, he immediately became interested and said with a smile: "Tell me what's going on?"
Huang Jindao: "Yu The prince was upright and filial. He couldn't accept the news that the prince had ascended to immortality. He was so angry that he fainted. When he woke up, the imperial doctor was diagnosing his pulse. Prince Yu was so angry that he punched him without holding back. This imperial doctor was so stupid that he tied up Prince Yu directly.”
"When the servant went to visit Prince Yu in accordance with the emperor's instructions, Prince Yu had already recovered to some extent and realized his impulsiveness. He also took the initiative to apologize to the imperial doctor who came for treatment, and compiled another "Compendium of Materia Medica" The story made the imperial doctor stunned for a while, and finally he took the initiative to thank Prince Yu."
"So in my opinion, Prince Yu is very smart and has the demeanor of an emperor."< br>
After hearing Huang Jin's words, Emperor Jiajing also showed a smile on his face, "Really? Not bad, not bad. I thought he was always soft, and I was worried that he wouldn't be able to withstand the wind and waves. It's better now, I Don't worry."
After saying that, Emperor Jiajing's eyes showed another look full of meaning. He looked at the bright moon in the sky in the distance, and seemed to feel that everything was back under control.
As for the dead prince, he is no longer within the scope of Emperor Jiajing's consideration.
Now Emperor Jiajing is thinking about how to balance the power between Yan Song and Xu Jie.
In the heart of Emperor Jiajing, Yan Song was a good dog, but he should not be allowed to be too fierce. If he was too fierce, it would be counterproductive, so someone had to restrain him.
Originally Emperor Jiajing wanted to use Zhang Zhi, but after transferring Zhang Zhi from Nanjing, Jiajing discovered that Zhang Zhi was really old and could no longer hold up the banner against Yan Song.
So now, in order to ensure that the checks and balances in the court are stable, Emperor Jiajing has promoted Xu Jie to the position of Minister of Rites, so that he can fill Zhang Zhi's position at any time and become the second assistant of the cabinet.
Now that the prince dies suddenly, these two forces will inevitably focus on succeeding the prince.
So after seeing the memorial presented by Lan Daoxing saying that King Yu was not suffering from soullessness, Emperor Jiajing felt happy.
What pleased him was not that King Yu's health was good or not, but that his two sons were just right and could become tools for him to manipulate ministers and provide continuous support for his great cause of cultivating immortals. .
