Chapter 33 Jiajing’s elixir
After sending Gao Gong away, Meng Chong couldn’t help but happily came to Zhu Zaijing again.
"Your Majesty, I have already arranged the treasures in the backyard."
Meng Chong said taking credit.
Zhu Zaijing snorted, "I know, you have worked hard today, so go to bed early."
When Meng Chong heard that Zhu Zaijing asked him to rest early and said that he had worked hard, he was suddenly moved again.
Meng Chong was moved and said: "If you can contribute to the prince, I will not be tired."
Listening to Meng Chong's endless nonsense, Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but wave his hands and said: "Since I don't If you're tired, go and divide the sugar into one or two small bags, and then go to Dongshi to find a shop to sell them tomorrow."
When Meng Chong heard Zhu Zaijing's order, he didn't think he was Zhu Zaijing. When he was annoyed, he just thought it was a new task given to him by Zhu Zaijing.
Then he bowed to Zhu Zaijing happily: "I will do it right now."
Looking at Meng Chong's leaving figure, Zhu Zaijing finally had a moment of leisure.
Zhu Zaijing was actually quite tired at the end of the day.
In the morning, I spent a long time in the backyard experimenting with the transformation of brown sugar into white sugar. In the afternoon, I followed Gao Gong for a half-day Ming Dynasty geography class. Although the process was very enjoyable, sitting for such a long time was still a bit tiring.
Now that he has finally finished dinner and sent Gao Gong off, Meng Chong is offering the treasure in front of him without even blinking. Can Zhu Zaijing not be annoyed?
Thanks to Meng Chong for being obedient, he just pointed out something and went to work.
Otherwise, Zhu Zaijing wouldn't be able to take a good rest now.
Zhu Zaijing, who finally seized the opportunity, also returned to the small courtyard where he lived. Zhu Zaijing took a deep breath and started practicing "Xiantian Gong" again.
After these two days of practice, Zhu Zaijing felt clearly that his body seemed to have some strength and was no longer as sick as before.
So Zhu Zaijing is still very concerned about practicing "Xiantian Gong". As soon as he gets a chance to rest, Zhu Zaijing will practice Qigong instead of resting.
Anyway, the movements of "Xiantian Kung" are relatively gentle. It is not like the external skills practiced by martial artists, which require fists and fists like the wind. Therefore, Zhu Zaijing will not go beyond the limits just because of practicing "Xiantian Kung". The more you practice, the more tired you become.
For Zhu Zaijing, this is a different kind of rest.
While Zhu Zaijing was practicing "Xiantian Kung" in his small yard to strengthen his body, Emperor Jiajing in the Yuxi Palace in Xiyuan next to the Forbidden City not far from Prince Yu's Mansion also asked Zhu Zaijing about today. situation.
Jiajing was sitting in the Bagua Golden Tent, still maintaining the Taoist meditation posture of holding Yuan Shouyi in his arms. His eyes were trembling slightly, as if he was practicing the mysterious method with half-open eyes.
Emperor Jiajing asked: "How is San'er doing today?"
Huang Jin, who was serving Emperor Jiajing, immediately obtained the information sent by the secret agent placed in King Yu. .
Huang Jin carefully opened the information and took a look at it, then said: "I reported that Prince Yu took Meng Chong to play with mud in the backyard this morning."
Huang Jin also couldn't believe it. I took another look and saw that it was indeed about playing in the mud.
Emperor Jiajing, who was meditating, heard that his son was playing with mud in the palace, and his mood suddenly changed. He opened his eyes and turned his head and asked, "Playing with mud?"
Huang Jin hummed, "It's just playing in the mud."
Emperor Jiajing suddenly laughed, "Why are you playing in the mud?" Huang Jin continued to read the intelligence report, and seemed to have found the person who was playing in the mud. The reason, Huang Jin said: "According to Anzi, Prince Yu believed that playing with mud can increase the body's resistance."
When Emperor Jiajing heard such a ridiculous reason, he reacted like Gao Gong during the day, thinking it was the advice of the imperial doctor.
Then Emperor Jiajing asked again: "Has Gao Gong gone to San'er today?"
Huang Jin replied: "Gao Shi has read it."
< br>Emperor Jiajing asked again: "Is he really talking about "The Book of Shang Jun" today?"
Huang Jindao: "Reporting to the emperor, Gao Shidu did not talk about the "Shang Jun Shu". What he told Prince Yu was the basic geographical situation of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty."
After hearing this, Emperor Jiajing , a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "He is sensible, if he really dares to teach San'er "Shang Jun Shu" privately, I can't spare him."
In Emperor Jiajing's heart, "Shang Jun Shu" is regarded as a book Unless he has the tacit consent of a taboo book dedicated to the study of emperors, anyone who dares to teach the knowledge of this book to the prince openly is challenging his bottom line.
Huang Jin said: "Do you want me to remind him?"
Emperor Jiajing shook his head, "No, if you have to remind him, then he is not qualified to continue teaching San'er."
Huang Jin was silent, sometimes he couldn't guess Emperor Jiajing's heart, but there was one thing Huang Jin knew very well, that is, be obedient, honest, say whatever you have to say, and never hide any secrets in front of Emperor Jiajing.
After asking about King Yu's situation, Jiajing asked again: "What's the situation over there at Si'er?"
Huang Jin quickly found out the secret report from King Jing Zhu Zaizhen.
Huang Jin took a look and said: "Today Luo Wenlong went to Prince Jing's house to deliver a few pieces of ink, and there is nothing else to do."
Luo Wenlong is Yan Shifan's disciple and is good at doing The quality of his ink is excellent, so the ink he makes is also praised as: "hard as stone, patterned as rhinoceros, black as lacquer, and a snail is worth ten thousand dollars."
The world also calls his ink "Luo Mo", and some people have made a fortune by reselling Luo Wenlong's ink. This shows that Luo Wenlong is also a highly skilled craftsman, and he can also be regarded as an inheritor of intangible cultural heritage in the future. .
When Emperor Jiajing heard that Luo Wenlong went to his fourth son's house to deliver a few pieces of ink, his eyes couldn't help but flash a little, and then he said in a strange way: "He is so generous. A piece of his ink is on the market." It's worth thousands of dollars, and I can't bear to use it. It's better that he give it to my son first."
After Yin and Yang were finished, Emperor Jiajing said again: "Don't worry about him, let him do whatever he needs to do. . I want to see what kind of monster these people want to make."
After Huang Jin heard what Emperor Jiajing said, he immediately said: "The emperor is a living immortal, and no one dares to do it. Anyone who dares to act like a monster in front of him will be able to see through it with the emperor's discernment."
Emperor Jiajing was also very impressed by Huang Jin's words. He also said with satisfaction: "I feel today. I have become a little more diligent in my cultivation, and I am probably not far away from cultivating an immortal body.”
Huang Jin hurriedly congratulated: "My slave congratulates the emperor. The emperor has succeeded in his cultivation, and this slave will also benefit from it."
Emperor Jiajing smiled happily, "Little slippery man, you are planning to take advantage of me to become an immortal in the future." Chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, right?"
Huang Jin also laughed and said: "A saint is not as good as an emperor, and the emperor has seen through the little thoughts of this slave."
While talking about the topic of becoming an immortal, Emperor Jiajing said. The mood is just good.
Then Emperor Jiajing also said generously: "Go get an elixir, and I will reward you."
When Huang Jin heard that Emperor Jiajing wanted to reward him with an elixir, he bowed excitedly to the ground and said, "I thank the emperor for your reward."
