Xiyuan has a strong smell of incense and candles, a cloud of smoke, and Taoist vocal music rising and falling. This is because a fasting festival is being held in Xiyuan.
At this time, the fasting festival has ended.
On the high altar, Emperor Jiajing was wearing a wide-sleeved Taoist robe with a wide open collar. He was walking back and forth on the altar with his sleeves swinging, holding a memorial in his hand, laughing and laughing.
It was already the twelfth lunar month of winter, and there was a light snowfall in the morning. Huang Jin, who was waiting closely for Emperor Jiajing, was not only wearing a cotton coat, but also a fox fur cloak, which he would gather from time to time.
However, Emperor Jiajing only wore such a thin Taoist robe with the collar open, but he did not feel cold at all.
The long sleeves are fluttering, as if walking in the wind during the dog days of summer.
This was not because Emperor Jiajing was a successful cultivator, immune to water and fire, and was not afraid of cold, but that he had just taken a pill rich in heavy metals, which caused severe endocrine disorders, just like taking the wrong medicine and causing heartburn.
However, Emperor Jiajing didn't think so. Every time at this time, he felt that there was fire in his Dantian, his performance was like a god, and his Taoism was improving.
A gust of cold wind blew by, scattering snow on the branches. Huang Jin couldn't help but tighten his fox fur again.
"Hahaha, Huang Ban, look at you like that, I will reward you with a pill, and you won't be cold anymore." Emperor Jiajing couldn't help laughing when he saw Huang Jin's trembling appearance, and took it out of his arms with a smile A jade box engraved with auspicious dragons and phoenixes was opened and a yellow-orange elixir was taken out and tossed to Huang Jin.
"Thank you Zhenjun for the reward."
Huang Jin, who was good at martial arts, hurriedly caught the elixir, knelt down excitedly to thank Emperor Jiajing, and then put the elixir into his mouth without hesitation.
Gudong.
His Adam's apple surged and the pill fell into his stomach.
Although Huang Jin doesn't believe in cultivating Taoism to become an immortal, he doesn't even believe in elixirs. How many emperors in history have swallowed elixirs and not only did they not become immortals, but they went west early. There is a saying in their hometown that is, ten medicines and nine poisons. Don’t you see, Mr. Yange is favored by the Holy One. The Holy One often rewards Mr. Yange with elixirs. In fact, in addition to showing his closeness and rewards, he also has the intention of letting Mr. Yange try the medicine. Every time he prepares a new elixir, The saints all rewarded Mr. Yange. After taking a course of treatment, Mr. Yan Ge would report his feelings about taking the medicine to Emperor Jiajing. Once, after a course of treatment with the newly prepared Longhu Tiandan, Yan Ge’s old man had developed hemorrhoids and had two bowls of blood in his stool...
Having said that, Huang Jin still did not dare to refuse the elixir given by Emperor Jiajing, and even pretended to be excited.
He also swallowed the elixirs rewarded by Emperor Jiajing in good faith and did not dare to cheat at all.
Emperor Jiajing is an extremely smart man. If you pretend to swallow in front of him, nine times out of ten you will be seen through. If you are seen through, it will be over. Do you not believe in elixirs or do you not believe in cultivating Taoism to become an immortal? , or... no matter what kind of consequences, he can't bear it.
It was precisely because he couldn't bear the consequences of being discovered that even though he knew there was something wrong with the pill, he still swallowed it honestly and happily every time.
Sure enough, after swallowing, he felt like his stomach was on fire. The effect of the elixir was even more intense than the last time. He was going to suffer a lot tonight...
"Thank you, Master, for giving me the medicine. My whole body feels hot and I'm not cold at all."
Huang Jin knelt down with excitement and thanked him. He casually pulled off his fox fur cloak and threw it aside. He also untied his cotton-padded clothes and followed Emperor Jiajing's example, opening half of his arms, looking very cute. Hot look.
"Hahahaha...Huang Ban, Huang Ban, your acting skills are too poor. Although the elixir will be effective as soon as it enters the abdomen, to achieve the effect of igniting the elixir fire and causing the heat to flow out, it takes at least three weeks of practice. can be achieved.”
Emperor Jiajing smiled and kicked Huang Jin's ass, and cursed with a smile, not blaming him, but showing closeness.
Feng Bao, who was in the corner of the altar, looked at Huang Jin with envy. When would the Za family be able to be favored by a saint like Eunuch Huang?
It's a pity that there are eunuchs such as Huang Jin and Qin Fu above me. They occupy important positions such as Si Lijian, Dongchang, and Xichang, etc., and they all stand firm. Each of them has good skills. The promotion space is blocked to death. If you want to take another step forward, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
In addition, there are insidious and cunning people such as Chen Hong and Meng Chong who are watching eagerly, watching his every move, waiting for him to make mistakes. It is not easy for him to maintain his current position, let alone be promoted.
Thanks to Mr. Xiao Zhu's advice, he was able to get along well among the masters in the harem. Not only did he not offend each master, he also became a celebrity among them.
Now that I have a firm foothold, I can still have the opportunity to show up in front of the Holy Master, and I have expectations for the future.
Just wait, maybe there will be an opportunity for me, Feng Bao, to step in and cap the game in the future.
It would be great if the Zajia were as smart and kind as Mr. Xiao Zhu. If only Mr. Xiao Zhu had three levels of ability, it would be enough for me to reach the pinnacle of eunuchs.
Oh, by the way, Mr. Xiao Zhu is so smart and good, it must be because he reads more.
Zajia should study more seriously.
Next time you meet Mr. Xiao Zhu, you should ask Mr. Xiao Zhu for advice and ask him to recommend a reading list.
"Get up." Emperor Jiajing was in a good mood. After scolding Huang Jin with a smile, he asked Huang Jin to stand up, handed him the memorial in his hand, and said casually, "Huang Ban, read it to me."
"Old slave, I obey." Huang Jin took the memorial with both hands respectfully, unfolded it and read it in a rhythm.
Feng Bao, in the corner of the altar, lowered his head and listened carefully to Huang Jin's reading.
Sacrifice to the sea.
This is a memorial to the sea. Some time ago, Mr. Zhao Wenhua was ordered to offer sacrifices to the sea. This is the result.
Listening, listening, he heard the words "Zhu Pingan", so Feng Bao's ears pricked up even higher.
Then I couldn't help but widen my eyes. I have done meritorious service. Mr. Xiao Zhu has done meritorious service again. There are a total of two hundred and ninety Japanese pirate heads. Mr. Xiao Zhu is really powerful. He is capable of both literary and martial arts. He is truly an unparalleled talent.
It is really an honor for me to have such a friend. The Za family must maintain a good relationship with Mr. Xiao Zhu.
"Listen, listen, the sacrifice to the sea was completed during the day, and such a great achievement was achieved at night. Five hundred and sixty-six heads of Japanese pirates were captured, and more than five hundred Japanese pirates were forced to jump into the sea to escape. As a result, there were huge waves, and five hundred and sixty-six Japanese pirates were killed. More than a hundred Japanese pirates were all swept to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish, and no bones were left. Hahaha, isn’t this the sacrifice to the sea fulfilled, what is the response from the Poseidon and Dragon King?!”
"If it weren't for the sacrifice to the sea, the sea god and the dragon king killed the troublesome sea monster, these Japanese pirates who jumped into the sea might have escaped with their lives with the help of the sea monster!"
"Hmph, let's see what those ministers who overtly and covertly criticize me for sacrificing the sea, wasting money, wasting money, and squandering money have something to say!"
"Sacrifice to the sea, sacrifice to the sea, am I doing it for myself?! I am doing it for the sake of my family and the people of my country!"
"Zhao Wenhua did a good job, and he was able to use his body as bait. Well, Zhu Xiaozi was also good. Apart from Zhao Wenhua, he took the second place. Not to mention the more than 500 Japanese pirates who were buried in the sea. He had more than half of the Japanese pirate heads captured. , Haha, I didn’t expect that such a fat boy with a simple and honest nature would be so fierce in a fight, not bad, not bad..."
Emperor Jiajing walked back and forth with his big sleeves fluttering, while excitedly venting his long-squeezed emotions, just like a chatterbox.
