Chapter 353: The Secret of the Reward

The ministers live in the mountains and rivers, and the tiger is common, but today the face is saintly, and the ministers see the dragon's face!

Huang Jin, who was serving by Jiajing's side, just remembered the young man in the hall who bowed his head and played the right role after listening to such a sentence!

Huang Jin has been serving by Emperor Jiajing's side for almost forty years since Emperor Jiajing was still the son of Emperor Xingxian, and now he has been serving by Emperor Jiajing's side for almost forty years.

This son is extraordinary.

When Huang Jin was still looking at Zhu Ping'an, Emperor Jiajing and Zhu Ping'an had several rounds of dialogue, most of which were asked by Jiajing and answered by Zhu Ping'an. Emperor Jiajing's questions were very common, he asked about the scene of Xiashan Village, asked Zhu Ping'an's age, and asked again about the strategy of the palace examination.

Zhu Ping'an also answered one by one, his speech was clear, his speed was moderate, he was logical, and his words were full of vitality.

"It's good to be young, I also arrived in the capital when I was your size." Emperor Jiajing listened to Zhu Ping'an's reply, sighed with emotion, and then continued, "Although Aiqing is young, he should also aim high, and learn more, see more and do more in the future." ”

"Your Majesty will follow your Majesty's teachings."

For Emperor Jiajing's exhortation, Zhu Ping'an was "excited" and saluted again. At this point, this interview should be over, Zhu Ping'an thought in his heart.

When Zhu Ping'an thought that the interview was over, he didn't expect another sudden surprise, and Emperor Jiajing waved his hand after asking. Let a little eunuch who served beside him bring a tray covered with red cloth and came directly to Zhu Ping'an, on which were gold carved golden chickens, goldfish, golden pigs, golden cows, golden ducks and other things.

These golden roosters, golden bulls and other things are not big. It's about one finger, flat, and the estimated weight is about two taels, but the carving is very fine and lifelike.

"You are excellent, and I am not stingy with rewards, so Aiqing will choose one as a reward." Emperor Jiajing sat on the dragon chair. waved his hand at Zhu Ping'an.

belch

Let's choose one after a long time, I'll just say why did Emperor Jiajing suddenly become generous, Zhu Ping'an was slandered. However, there was an expression of gratitude and glory on his face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Zhu Ping'an knelt on the ground and saluted.

"Aiqing doesn't have to be polite." Emperor Jiajing waved his hand and motioned for Zhu Ping'an to get up and choose a reward.

After Zhu Ping'an knelt down and thanked Jiajing, he got up again, said to the little eunuch holding the tray, and then he had to choose a big one casually. The moment the hand was outstretched. Suddenly realized that Emperor Jiajing's reward should not be so simple, this is about the last interview question.

Emperor Jiajing, the Golden Rooster, the Golden Fish, the Golden Pig, the Golden Ox, and the Golden Duck were chosen at will, but these things were definitely not chosen casually.

Choosing a goldfish? The goldfish carved in gold, the main figure is a carp, lifelike. The carp jumps over the dragon gate, and it is a good omen to choose the carp. Legend has it that there is a towering dragon gate in the east of the river. In the spring, there are always carp swimming up the river. A carp that jumps over the dragon gate can turn into a dragon. It is also generally used to refer to having a good test score and being at the top of high school.

It should be the most appropriate choice to choose the golden carp.

However, when Zhu Ping'an reached out to the goldfish, he saw the little eunuch holding the tray, and his eyes blinked slightly.

Then, Zhu Ping'an paused and had an epiphany. It's not that simple! It's not that simple!

The carp jumps over the dragon gate, the carp jumps over the dragon gate and turns into a dragon, dragon, what do you want to do when you turn into a dragon? I don't know that Emperor Jiajing is the only real dragon! Then Zhu Ping'an thought of the spell recorded in history, Emperor Jiajing's heart, which made him feel chilled - the two dragons don't meet!

Emperor Jiajing is a wonderful flower in the history of the Ming Dynasty, this so-called curse of the two dragons not seeing each other, after he knew, he carried it out all his life!

In the thirteenth year of Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing, who had fought on the bed for thirteen years, uh, maybe the battlefield was somewhere else, but in this year Emperor Jiajing finally ushered in his first son, but unfortunately, the emperor's eldest son hung up less than three months after he was born. Emperor Jiajing was extremely sad, and at this time, Emperor Jiajing's most trusted first celestial master, Tao Zhongwen, told Emperor Jiajing about the curse of "the two dragons do not meet".

Your Majesty, you are the only true dragon in the world, you have the destiny of heaven, and you are the true son of heaven, but the heir of your majesty is also a dragon. However, the two dragons do not meet, Your Majesty is the true Son of Heaven, the true dragon of the destiny of luck, one mountain does not allow two tigers, one side does not allow two dragons, Your Majesty is blessed, and all the princes are not as good as Your Majesty. When the two dragons meet, there will be an injury!

Listening to Tao Zhongwen's words, Emperor Jiajing broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.

Three years later, Emperor Jiajing successively had Zhu Zaiyu, Zhu Zaiyuan, Zhu Zaizhen and other princes, but Emperor Jiajing has always kept in mind the curse of "two dragons do not meet", and the scene of the emperor's eldest son hanging up has been in front of him, so Emperor Jiajing has never seen these three princes, and he did not dare to be crowned prince, for fear of any accidents.

Emperor Jiajing did this, it seemed very nonsense to outsiders, the courtiers talked about it, Emperor Jiajing couldn't see it, and dragged Emperor Jiajing to educate for a long time. Unable to bear the education of the Queen Mother, Emperor Jiajing had no choice but to meet the eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Zaiyan, chatted, and sent him in and out of the school.

That night, the second son of the emperor, Zhu Zaiyan, fell ill, and within a few days, the second son of the emperor also went to his eldest brother.

Emperor Jiajing was almost scared to death, and he didn't dare to cross the thunder pool for the curse of "two dragons don't meet", and he didn't even look at the two remaining sons, Yuwang Zhu Zaiyuan and King Jingzhu Zaizhen, even if they saw it in the palace, or if there were any major etiquette that they had to see, they didn't say a word.

Now, if you choose the golden carp, do you want the carp to leap over the dragon gate and turn into a dragon?

You turn into a dragon, and I, Jiajing, are also dragons.

What are you doing, I don't know if the two dragons don't meet! Do you think my Jiajing is living too well?! Intentionally Fan rushed to me!

Not to mention that Zhu Ping'an thinks too much, Emperor Jiajing's cultivation of immortals and alchemy, eating some heavy metal pills all day long, heavy metal poisoning or something to produce hallucinations is too normal, and Emperor Jiajing himself is a mysterious person, cultivating immortals and cultivating immortals, this kind of person cares a lot!

It's better to believe what you have than what you don't have!

Thinking of this, Zhu Ping'an crossed over from the golden carp, crossed over normally, landed on the golden rooster on the side, and then took it in his hand.

"Minister, thank you for the reward."

Zhu Ping'an held the golden rooster in both hands and knelt on the ground to thank Emperor Jiajing.

Oh, it turned out to be a golden rooster.

Huang Jin, who served beside Emperor Jiajing, was surprised, Zhu Ping'an's choice was greatly beyond his expectations, and the people who were summoned separately before could all choose the golden carp. Did the boy do it intentionally or unintentionally? If it was unintentional, then the boy's luck was very good; If it's intentional, then this boy is really extraordinary.

"Oh, why did Aiqing choose the golden rooster?" Emperor Jiajing sat on the dragon chair and nodded, and asked slowly, he was very satisfied with Zhu Ping'an's choice but also curious.

Naturally, it is not an unintentional move, I naturally did not choose randomly, this is also what I have thought deeply, Emperor Jiajing, you cultivate immortals and alchemy, believe in Taoism, it just so happens that I read a lot of Xianxia novels in modern times, and I also have more information about Taoism. Taoism for the world's beasts and birds, each has different feelings, among which the feelings for the chicken are the deepest, the ancestor of Taoism ascended to immortal is not left a "chicken dog ascending to heaven" said, in addition to Taoism after the formation of the sect before the previous popes have deep feelings for chickens, it is said that a certain pope in distress when removing the sneaky, once saved by the rooster, when the pope and the sneaky fight for a few days, exhausted, dangerous, fortunately the rooster led the singing, a rooster crow called the sunrise, to help the Pope eradicate the sneaky.

In addition, the fish that Taoism appreciates is a scaleless fish - mullet, not carp.

This kind of mullet is never eaten by people who believe in Taoism. In the eyes of ordinary people, the mullet is very hateful, because after the female mullet reproduces and gives birth to a small mullet, she will eat a part of the small mullet she born, and the tiger poison does not eat the child, your mullet gave birth to a small mullet, but ate the small mullet raw, it is really hateful and hateful, so ordinary people despise and dislike the mullet anymore.

However, in the eyes of people who believe in Taoism, this is not the case, they appreciate mullet, maybe everyone will think how can they still overturn the case for mullet eaters?

Yes, that's right, they not only overturned the case, but raised it to a very high level.

In the eyes of people who believe in Taoism, the mullet is like this: the female mullet reaches the spawning period, conceives for several months, exhausts her efforts, and supplies every nutrient of the body to the small mullet in the stomach, and in order to lay eggs, she uses the last strength of the body to produce the small mullet, after the birth, the female mullet is like the spring silk is exhausted, the wax torch is turned into ashes, exhausting all the effort, both eyes can not see anything, completed the mission, she is waiting to starve to death. What a great mother, what a great mother's love, but what is even greater is filial piety, the filial piety of the little mullet. In order to produce, the female mullet exhausted its efforts and exhausted its last strength, so it can only wait for the starvation to death, but the little mullet is the most filial, they would rather swim into the mouth of the female mullet themselves, and use their immature body to feed the mother mullet, and would rather use their own body than the mother mullet starve to death.

What kind of spirit is this, the crow feeds back, the lamb kneels to milk, what is it in front of this mullet feeding mother!

Therefore, Taoism elevates the mullet to the realm of extreme filial piety, the embodiment of filial piety.

So, they appreciate mullets, not carp!

Therefore, Zhu Ping'an chose the golden rooster instead of the golden carp. (To be continued.) )
