'Why is it thundering? ! '
All the Jiajing courtiers who were kneeling around the Thunder Altar were shocked by Xia Yan's attitude towards Emperor Jiajing.
After all, the Jiajing Dynasty was not a Zhengde Dynasty. After more than twenty years of hard work by the Jiajing Immortal, most of those who dared to confront the emperor on the spot were dead.
In the eyes of the ministers, as Xia Shoufu was so strong, he was probably not far away from death.
"Dad, look!"
Yan Shifan, who was beside Yan Song, his expression suddenly changed at this moment, and he said urgently in Yan Song's ear.
"The opportunity to kill Xia Yan has come!"
To Yan Song and his son, Xia Yan was an absolute shame.
In order to save the dog's life from Xia Yan, Yan Song and his son once visited Xia Yan and knelt down to beg for mercy. The eighteen generations of their ancestors were disgraced.
Yan Song, who was still thinking about whether to make a wave of yin and yang, was reminded by his eldest son, and his eyes subconsciously fell on the thunder altar, and found that a figure appeared out of thin air in front of Emperor Jiajing.
"this…"
"Is this an immortal?!"
Yan Song's pupils shrank sharply.
"Dad, what are you waiting for?!"
Yan Shifan urged urgently.
At this moment, Yan Song suddenly woke up and understood what his son meant.
No matter if he is an immortal or not, you, Xia Yan, are doomed today!
Taking a deep breath, Yan Song did not hesitate at all, struck decisively, and kowtowed immediately.
"Welcome to Dao Ancestor Linchen!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the words of worship of Yan Song, the second assistant to the cabinet, echoed around the thunder altar where the lingering rumble was still lingering.
Everyone knows that the Jiajing Immortal is inviting Dao Ancestor to offer sacrifices to heaven tonight.
As soon as Yan Song opened his mouth, his gang of horsemen in the court reacted immediately.
It doesn't matter whether the person who appears is Daozu or not, as long as this matter is confirmed, Xia Yan will be finished. The best outcome is to get out of the cabinet and reduce his position to serve the people.
In this way, Boss Yan will be the chief assistant again!
"Welcome to Dao Ancestor Linchen!"
"…………"
Under the leadership of Yan Shifan, the gang members of the Yan Party united in unison.
'Xia Gong, you are so reckless. '
Xu Jie, among the ministers, glanced at Xia Yan, who was a little confused, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
After thinking for a moment, he kowtowed without any hesitation.
"Welcome to Dao Ancestor Linchen."
This time, it's time to stand in line.
If you don't do it, when Xia Yan falls, the Yan Party will start to settle accounts.
Xu Jie was reprimanded by Zhang Cong for the Confucius statue. If Xia Yan hadn't supported him after he came to power, he would still be in Jiangxi Province. Take off.
At this time.
On top of this thunder altar.
The most excited person is the Jiajing Immortal at this time.
The officials under the thunder altar may have thought that the immortal who suddenly appeared was an extra specially invited by Yan Song to bring down Xia Yan, or a professional actor trained by the Jiajing immortal himself.
After all, in the era when the emperor took the lead and raised the dynasty to cultivate immortality, it was too normal to play such political tricks.
But Zhu Houcong would never think so.
Because what he saw with his own eyes was that there was no one there a second ago, but when the thunder passed, people appeared.
This is not Daozu Linchen, what else could it be? !
'Tao, Taoist ancestor has shown his sage! '
Zhu Houcong looked up and took a deep breath. When he saw the face of Dao Ancestor that was completely different from what he had imagined, tears of excitement filled his eyes.
'Dad, did you see it? '
'The child is done! The child has really become a child! '
'I, Zhu Houcong, am finally going to become an immortal! I'm going to be in the immortal class! '
'With my sincerity and the support of Dao Ancestor, given time, it is not impossible to become the Jade Emperor! '
With an excited heart and lofty ideals, Zhu Houcong respectfully kowtowed to the 'Tao Ancestor'.
The emperor on earth is just a ball, but my ambition, Zhu Houcong, is to be the supreme one in heaven!
"Disciple Zhu Houcong, pay your respects to Master!"
"Master," this directly leads to a master-disciple relationship.
Tao Zhongwen, who was accompanying Jiajing on the side, was even more confused and kowtowed after Jiajing stupidly.
'Master, it turns out that there are real immortals in this world, and I think you are lying to me! '
Tao Zhongwen remembered what his master said to him before his death, "Only a fool believes that there are immortals in the world." This completely shattered Tao Zhongwen's Taoist spirit that he had insisted on for more than 20 years.
From then on, Tao Zhongwen, with the original intention of not being fooled by himself, began to cheat people all over the country, cheating everyone he could.
In the end, he was recommended by Shao Yuanjie to join the court. He used Fu Shuili Sword to eradicate the evildoers in the palace. He gained the trust of the Jiajing gods and successfully reached the pinnacle of the deception industry.
When he thought of the years he had wasted in practicing Taoism, Tao Zhongwen wanted to go back, lift up the coffin of his master, drag him out and beat him up.
If it weren't for you, old guy, who ruined my Taoist heart, I might be all in love now!
'What the hell. '
Ji Boying frowned slightly.
He traveled through the Jiajing time and space and locked the position of the Jiajing Immortal. He did not expect to appear in such a way.
He put his hands behind his waist and glanced first at Jiajing, then at the surroundings, and landed on the only old man standing.
'Xia Yan. '
The moment Ji Boying traveled through time, he happened to hear Xia Yan's heroic words just now.
Ji Boying couldn't say he had a good or bad impression of this Xia Shofu.
Judging from the fact that he supported Xu Jie regardless of personal grudges, he was considered a man of integrity.
But looking back, this guy got his position by flattering the Jiajing Immortal through rituals, and after he accurately flattered the Jiajing Immortal's groove.
In less than a year, he was promoted from a seventh-rank official to the second-rank Minister of Rites.
This promotion speed is simply faster than Musk’s rocket.
But after entering the cabinet, this old boy's true nature was revealed. He had been in a high position for a long time, was dictatorial and his daily luxury level exceeded that of the Jiajing Immortal.
In the 18th year of Jiajing's reign, he even gave himself the title of "Shangzhu Kingdom". There was no such thing in the Ming Dynasty. It was purely for Xia Yan's own pleasure.
Once you get too high, problems arise.
One late night, the Jiajing Immortal frowned, made a secret gesture with his hands, and used the "Dog Escape and Transformation into a Dog Technique".
Yan Song, who was originally promoted to the position of Minister of Rites by Xia Yan, and who was supposed to be Xia Yan's loyal horse, suddenly rebelled and turned from Xia Yan's horse into Jiajing's dog leg.
Yan Laogou came up and Xia Yan was in trouble.
Of course, after Xia Yan was dismissed for the first time, Yan Laogou was so proud that he almost felt like a human again.
Just when he was enjoying himself, Xia Yan was called back by Jiajing.
This is the ultimate move of the Jiajing Immortal, "Rashomon Dog-Eat-Dog Technique".
According to the current process, in about two years, Xia Yan will be too aloof and will not regard the emperor's mazi as a human being.
Even Lu Bing, the disciple of the Jiajing Immortal, didn't take it seriously, and all the commanders from Lu came to his door and knelt down and howled for him.
Jiajing heard too many bad things about Ma Zai, and naturally began to get tired of Xia Yan.
In addition, after Xia Yan re-entered the cabinet as the chief minister, his previous arrogance was not restrained at all, and he became more arbitrary. He even began not to regard the emperor as a cadre, and sometimes openly opposed the Jiajing Immortal's cultivation of immortality.
For Jiajing, as long as the government is stable and balanced, I can turn a blind eye if you mess around in the cabinet.
But you are against me cultivating immortality, are you so tired of living? !
So Yan Laogou seized this golden opportunity, and with Lu Bing's assistance, he defeated Xia Yan in one fell swoop.
In the end, Xia Yan had his wife and children exiled, and he ended up being beheaded at Caishikou.
Xia Yan's lesson tells us that unless you are the boss, no matter what position you hold, you must not be crazy in front of your boss at any time.
Above the Thunder Altar.
Ji Boying glanced at Xia Yan, who looked confused.
At this moment, Xia Shoufu was thinking about a major life event, whether he should sacrifice to heaven or not.
Then he glanced at Yan Song and Xu Jie, who was not very visible now, and quickly reviewed the life histories of these important figures in Jiajing time and space.
"Um."
Ji Boying said indifferently.
Being cold and aloof is the demeanor of an immortal.
"Get up and talk."
"Thank you Master!"
Immortal Jiajing stood up slowly with the help of Tao Zhongwen with an excited heart.
'You're such a fucking god. '
Ji Boying glanced at Jiajing. With his eyesight, he could see that this guy had multiple fractures, but no treatment was done. Could it be that he really wanted to rely on his true energy to set the bones?
Taoism does have a bone-setting curse, but it is purely to deceive fools.
This reminded Ji Boying of Tianshun Heihua Zhu Qizhen, who was ten times more serious than Jiajing, with all his body fractures, and he didn't know how this kid was doing now.
"Your Majesty, just now the Chief Assistant said that he would sacrifice his body to heaven."
"Please allow Your Majesty's grace to grant the Chief Assistant an opportunity to serve as a Taoist priest!"
Yan Song spoke loudly.
This grandson, stop pretending, I must kill you today!
Xia Yan's heart pounded: Yan Song, I'm CNNN!
But he dug this hole himself, and there was nothing he could do to refute it.
Hearing this, Jiajing glanced at Xia Yan, his eyes slightly cold, but he did not speak.
"What do you think, Master?"
"How can a mortal man be qualified to teach the Tao?"
Ji Boying said lightly.
He didn't have a good impression of Xia Yan, but there was no way he would let Xia Yan give up on this matter.
Once this happens, he will become Yan Laogou's knife.
Who is this old dog Yan?
"You, come with me."
He glanced at Jiajing.
The words fell.
The figures of Ji Boying and Jiajing disappeared in an instant.
The entire Jiutian Thunder Altar was silent for a moment, except for the howling wind in the night.
Yan Song: 'Not an actor? ! '
Yan Shifan: 'Oh my god, you are really a fairy! '
Xia Yan: 'Now it's time to play big...'
Xu Jie: 'The unity of knowledge and action, the unity of knowledge and action, this is all false! '
Tao Zhongwen: "I quit, I want to go home and cultivate immortality!" '
……………………
Qianyuan Pavilion.
Ji Boying scanned around and found that there was not even a chair, but a pile of futons. He looked at Zhu Houcong who was standing in front of him.
Because of several fractures in his hands and feet, it was very difficult for Jiajing Immortal to stand.
"If you are injured, why don't you get medical treatment?"
One word comes out.
Jiajing was stunned for a moment, what are you treating? Isn’t this the promised physical trial?
Didn’t this emperor come to the world just because he completed the physical trial and became the Dao Ancestor?
In an instant, Jiajing's brain could not react.
'Tao Zhongwen! '
"come over."
Ji Boying said lightly.
Immortal Jiajing took a deep breath. He had never been so obedient in his life, and he came to Ji Boying obediently.
Ji Boying was seen raising his hand slightly.
Nothing changed, and more than a dozen boxes of medicine fell into Jiajing's arms from the palm of his hand.
These are adjuvants that promote bone healing.
"This, this, this..."
"Elixir!"
Witnessing the magic of transforming nothingness into things with his own eyes, Jiajing's whole body was trembling with excitement.
His IQ, which was more than ten points higher than that of ordinary people, and his shady character all disappeared in front of 'Ji Daozu'. In front of 'Ji Daozu', Zhu Houcong was just a devout believer.
"Don't take those weird pills of yours from now on. You can live at least ten more years."
"Also, keep this thing away."
Ji Boying waved his hand, and a wind chime fell into Jiajing's hand. Jiajing held the wind chime, and the excitement in his eyes reached a new level.
'This must be the legendary fairy weapon! '
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of something.
"Master, since the pain of my body is not a trial."
"Then why the last time Master came, a group of fellow Taoists who couldn't help but beat and kicked the disciples came up."
"Master, can you tell me who these fellow Taoists are? And why did they attack the disciples?"
"Is there any misunderstanding?"
Jiajing Immortal, who is in his early forties, has been a vassal king for fifteen years and emperor for more than twenty years. This is the first time in his life that he has been beaten. He cannot let it pass without any explanation.
"Do you really want to ask?"
Ji Boying looked at Jiajing seriously and asked a question that touched Jiajing's immortal soul.
Zhu Houcong pondered for a moment and nodded heavily.
"Disciple wants to know the reason."
"Can."
The words just fell.
Zhu Houcong was stunned.
Because everything around has changed.
"here it is…"
"Ancestral Temple!"
Taking a deep breath, Immortal Jiajing was fascinated by this kind of magic that could reach thousands of miles with a single thought, and he was even more convinced of Ji Boying's identity as the Taoist ancestor.
"I dare to ask Master, where has my disciple reached in his cultivation now? When will he be able to practice immortality?"
Jiajing asked, his eyes full of yearning.
Ji Boying glanced at Jiajing.
"Early stage of golden elixir."
This guy consumes precious metals every day, so he must have a lot of stones in his stomach.
'The early stage of Golden Elixir. '
'It turns out that I have reached the early stage of the Golden Elixir! '
Jiajing murmured, his eyes flashing.
'Being recognized by the Taoist Patriarch means that my cultivation path is correct. As long as I continue to persevere and practice with concentration, I will eventually enter the realm of Mahayana! '
For Jiajing, whose ultimate goal is to become the Jade Emperor, the early stage of the Golden Elixir is just the beginning.
Ji Boying stood in front of the Ancestral Temple shrine, glanced at the rows of shrines, and fixed his gaze on the 'Chengzu' tablet and the 'Ruizong' tablet.
This 'Ruizong' was Jiajing's father Zhu Youqian, the one who lifted the coffin of Zhu Gaochi.
"I ask you again, are you sure you want to know the reason why you were beaten?"
With his back to Jiajing, Ji Boying asked seriously.
"Sure."
Immortal Jiajing nodded firmly.
If he couldn't figure out the reason, he would feel that his Taoist mind was unstable, which would be harmful to his further cultivation.
And in his opinion, there is a high probability that the people who beat him up are disciples of the Taoist ancestors. Since everyone is a fellow disciple, in order to live more harmoniously in the future, misunderstandings must be resolved.
"Have you thought about it?"
"Think about it!"
"No regrets?"
"I will never regret it!"
"Um."
Ji Boying nodded slightly.
……………………
Jianwen time and space.
Not long after returning from Hongwu, Zhu Laosi, Zhu Gaochi and Monk Daoyan were reviewing and discussing the knowledge points in the class, preparing to sort them out and then implement them.
At this moment, the wind chimes on the waists of Zhu Laosi and Zhu Gaochi rang.
……………………
Yongle time and space.
In the Forbidden City, the Yangju Hall, the third grandson of Old Zhu Di was sitting on a table with more than a dozen dishes on it. They were eating and chatting. The topic just discussed how to use it for expansion.
After all, the Yongle Dynasty was different from other time and space, and had the strongest navy in the world.
As long as Lao Zhu Di gives an order, the navy can sail far away, at least in Southeast Asia, and attack any country without blind spots.
Not surprisingly, the Yongle time and space is definitely the fastest to achieve the achievement of "the sun never sets on the Ming Dynasty".
"Grandpa, the immortal master made it very clear in his class."
"Expansion of force is only to open the other side's country, and using massive amounts of silver to occupy the other side's economic lifeline is the core."
Zhu Zhanji spoke, obviously taking the class seriously.
"Um."
Old Zhu Di nodded.
"Boss."
His eyes then looked at Zhu Gaochi who was chewing a pig knuckle.
"Hey, Dad."
Zhu Gaochi quickly put down the pork knuckle and looked at Old Zhu Di.
"Now that we have money, let's talk about the Northern Expedition."
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhu Gaochi to reply.
The wind chimes on the waists of Lao Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi rang.
……………………
Hongxi time and space.
Qianqing Palace, Dongnuan Pavilion.
The fat, weak man who was being forcibly fed medicine by Queen Zhang refused the bitter taste of the medicine.
"If you don't take medicine, how will your health be?"
Queen Zhang frowned, holding a bowl with soup.
"You can't even last three minutes with me at night."
There is no one else in Dongnuan Pavilion, so the old couple has nothing to be ashamed of talking about.
Zhu Gaochi, who was shocked by his wife, took a deep breath, thought about it, and chose to drink the medicine.
Gulu sighed.
When he finished drinking, the wind chimes around his waist jingled.
……………………
Hongwu time and space.
In Prince Yan's Mansion, in Princess Yan's bedroom, Xiao Zhu Si was originally telling Xu Miaoyun about the excitement of today's class.
He even agreed to Xu Miaoyun to take her to meet Zhu Di from other time and space next time.
But for a young couple who have just been married for a few years and are in the period of passionate love, once they start talking, no matter what topic they discuss at the beginning, they will inevitably talk about hygiene in the end.
"Here we come."
"Hmm~"
The words fell.
Xu Miaoyun, whose beautiful eyes were slightly closed, did not feel familiar.
Just when she subconsciously thought that her king would turn into a silver needle, she opened her eyes and found that Zhu Di had disappeared.
……………………
Jiajing time and space, the Ancestral Temple of the Forbidden City.
Ji Boying looked calm and looked at the furnishings in the Ancestral Temple.
Now that Zhu Houcong has reached the golden elixir realm, his face is filled with anticipation for the truth.
'How could I, a dignified early Golden Elixir monk, a Purple Immortal, and a Wanshou Emperor, receive a beating in vain? '
