Xiang Nan stayed in the palace for a full hour.
On the one hand, it teaches the Jiajing Tai Chi technique, which of course only has moves and no mental techniques. Because all Emperor Jiajing lacked was exercise, doing Tai Chi to get sweaty, that was enough for him.
On the one hand, it is to draw up the menu for Jiajing. In terms of diet, how should nutrition be combined and proportioned, what are the taboos, and what are the preferences.
Xiang Nan is proficient in medical skills and cooking skills, so it is not difficult to prepare a nutritious meal menu that focuses on diet therapy. This menu was called "Fairy Dish" by Jiajing, and he ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare it accordingly in the future.
…
After finishing his work, Xiang Nan was placed in Chaotian Palace and was given the title of Lord of Chaotian Palace.
Chaotian Palace was the largest Taoist temple in the capital at that time. There were nine halls in the palace, namely Sanqing Hall, Tongming Hall, Puji, Jingzhi, Zongzhi, Baobao, Yousheng, Jingying, Chongzhen, Yuanchang and Yuanying, as well as Zhaitang, There are thousands of abbots, dormitories, kitchens and bathrooms, warehouses, and side rooms.
The scale is much larger than that of Laojun Temple, and there are thousands of Taoist priests in the temple, all of whom are now under the command of Xiang Nan. In addition, he was also given a purple jade belt and a gold, jade, silver and ivory seal to show his favor.
In the following period, Xiang Nan was repeatedly summoned to the palace by Emperor Jiajing to explain Taoism, demonstrate Taoism, and teach the way to immortality.
Xiang Nan was both civilized and military, well-informed and well versed in historical development, covering five thousand years. In terms of knowledge reserve, he can be said to be the best in the world. No matter what he talks about, he can talk about it eloquently.
In addition, he is very approachable and well versed in psychology, so his words are very suitable to Jiajing's taste. Every time Jiajing chatted with him, he felt like a rare confidant and a heart-to-heart.
Therefore, we often chat for an hour or two. No one who is the chief minister of the DPRK will be so favored. Because of Xiang Nanhu's fake power, the power in his hands is naturally extremely great.
But Xiang Nan also knew that this was just an illusion. People who are close to power will always mistakenly think that they also have power. But as long as you lose favor and stay away from power, you will immediately become penniless.
Just like countless favored ministers recorded in history books, when they are favored by the emperor, they can become the most popular ministers, one person is inferior to ten thousand people. But when they lose favor, even the most inconspicuous person dares to come up and insult him.
So Xiang Nan did not forget about it. He still kept a low profile and guarded against arrogance and impetuosity. In addition to practicing martial arts and discussing Taoism with Emperor Jiajing every day, he also read the alchemy books and secret methods collected by Emperor Jiajing, hoping to find out how to practice internal strength. Tips.
…
Because Emperor Jiajing believed in Taoism, and what was good at the top was bound to be bad at the bottom, so in order to invite favors, officials at all levels also collected alchemy books and secret methods to honor the emperor.
Some of these secret methods of elixirs are indeed made up out of thin air and are absurd; but some of them are indeed true and credible.
For example, the "Secret Instructions of the Jinhua Chongbi Dan Sutra" passed down by Bai Yuchan of the Southern Taoist sect is a book on inner strength and mental methods; another example is the "Great Danzhizhisheng neijing" written by Qiu Chuji, one of the seven disciples of the Quanzhen sect of the Northern Taoism. There is also a mental method for cultivating internal strength; there is also the "Fetal Breath Jue" passed down by one of the Taoist masters, Chen Tuan, which also talks about breathing in and out to maintain health, guide and refine Qi, and return to the original source.
However, these internal skills focus more on meditation, health preservation, and regulating Qi. To be honest, it is not as good as in martial arts. After practicing it, you can be as light as a swallow, climb up to the level of water, destroy gold and jade, and be indestructible as a diamond.
However, Xiang Nan is already very happy. After all, the body is the capital of revolution. With a good body, there are more possibilities.
…
In the fourth year of Jiajing's reign, Xiang Nan received news that his master Jue Yuan had passed away.
After hearing the news, Xiang Nan asked Jiajing for an order, "Your Majesty, there is a proverb among the people that the world's martial arts originated from Shaolin. I heard that there is a superior inner strength method in the temple called "Yi Jin Jing", which is very mysterious and mysterious. square.
After practicing, you can strengthen your body, regulate your energy, and prolong your life. Pindao asked for an order to go to Shaolin for His Majesty to obtain the true scriptures. "
"The real person is indeed loyal." Jiajing was very happy when he heard this, "However, the Shaolin Temple is far away in Heluo, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth. I can't live without the real person for a day. Why don't I send the Jin Yiwei to get it."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift. However, the Shaolin monks have always disobeyed the king's law, and I'm afraid they won't hand it over easily."
"Bold! The whole world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers. This world is mine, let alone a scripture! If Shaolin Temple has disobedient intentions, I will send troops to destroy it." Emperor Jiajing immediately road.
Xiang Nan smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty is indeed decisive and has great talents. However, the monks in the Shaolin Temple are highly skilled in martial arts and are no match for ordinary soldiers, so they may break out of the encirclement and wander around the world.
By that time, the Shaolin Temple will certainly be destroyed, but the Yi Jin Jing will also be lost. Therefore, I am willing to go to great lengths to fetch the scriptures for Your Majesty. "
"In that case, okay." Emperor Jiajing thought for a moment and finally nodded.
He now only wants to live forever, so even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, he wants to try it. And since Xiang Nan explained the "Yi Jin Jing" so well, it must be effective.
…
Xiang Nan immediately set off to return to Heluo.
However, he knew that going to the Shaolin Temple to seize the martial arts secrets and spreading them would cause ridicule from fellow practitioners in the world, so he went to the Shaolin Temple under the guise of offering incense for his master, and took Junbao with him.
"Master actually died?! It's really unexpected." Jun Bao was very sad when he heard that Jue Yuan passed away.
"Yes, all heaven and humans undergo five changes of decay. Master is also a mortal after all." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "The deceased is dead. What we can do is to keep Master in our hearts forever."
"Senior brother, you are right." Jun Bao nodded.
"Jun Bao, this time I offer incense for Master, I still want to suffer the shame of fifteen years." Xiang Nan said again, "Xin Bao deceived us and was biased. He expelled us from the Shaolin Temple and prevented me from entering the Bodhidharma Academy. Practice superior martial arts. I want to settle this debt with them."
"Senior brother, it's been so long, why bother worrying about when is the time to retaliate?" Upon hearing this, Jun Bao warned as expected.
He no longer cares about what happened fifteen years ago.
"No, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. You know my character. I'm not a petty person. I just want to get back what should belong to me." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "If I don't worry about Master To save face, ten years ago, I led my army to surround the Shaolin Temple."
When Jun Bao saw Xiang Nan say this, he wanted to persuade him, but he also knew that his character was always consistent. As long as you decide something, you rarely regret it.
In addition, it was Xiang Nan who had protected him for more than ten years and established Tai Chi Sect. He could not disobey him and had no choice but to remain silent.
