Volume 4 Chapter 30 Competing for Favor

The Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace, has always been the residence of the Ming Emperor, solemn and solemn.

However, at this time, this place has been changed into a place of cultivation by Jiajing, and many places seem a little nondescript.

For example, a side hall that was originally used for bathing and changing clothes has now become a place for refining medicine.

On this morning, Gu Kexue, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, happened to find a few precious medicinal materials, so the two of them changed into Taoist robes and began to refine medicines.

If you want to say that Gu Ke has the ability to learn to refine medicine, it really didn't blow it out.

Although he can't play a medicine tripod like the legend, he can't let all kinds of precious medicinal materials fly into the medicine tripod by himself.

However, from the beginning of the heating of the medicine pod to the addition of various herbs and auxiliaries, to the stir-frying and roasting, he did it like a cloud of peers.

Especially at the last moment, he picked out the specially made silver spoon for refining medicine, put it in his hand and pinched it, and a round pill would appear in his hand, that guy was just like a skilled chef pinching dumplings, it looked really a little magical.

Every time he sees this, Jiajing can't help but admire.

Gu Kexue was modest as usual, took another pill from the pill casually, swallowed it, and then handed the remaining pill to Jiajing respectfully.

Jiajing took the pill and didn't doubt it, even if he picked up one and swallowed it, he immediately sat up with his eyes closed just like Gu Kexue.

After about half an hour, Gu Kexue felt that the medicinal power had been fully exerted, so he opened his eyes and asked carefully, "Your Majesty, how do you feel?" ”

Hearing this, Jiajing slowly opened his eyes, and sighed slightly: "Alas, Yucheng, it's still the medicine you refine, other people refine it, and after eating it, you basically don't feel anything, only you refine it, and after eating it, you suddenly feel comfortable." ”

Just kidding, where can the medicine refined by those poor Taoist priests compare with me, the medicinal materials they use are worth a few taels of silver, and the good things I use are worth hundreds of taels or even thousands of taels, you get what you pay for, you know?

Of course, he just said this in his heart, but on the surface, he sighed and said: "Alas, although this elixir is good, the materials are difficult to find, and Weichen is afraid that he will have to stop for a while before he can refine the medicine for the emperor." ”

Yes!

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but say anxiously: "Yucheng, what's wrong, what kind of materials are difficult to find, I ordered someone to find them for you." ”

Gu Kexue shook his head slowly and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's useless for you to send someone." ”

Jiajing was a little unconvinced: "Oh, is there any place in this world that I can't control?" ”

Gu Kexue explained unhurriedly: "Of course this is impossible, the whole world is not the king's land, where is there a place that the emperor can't control, it's just that the emperor can't control those places for the time being." ”

Jiajing was even more curious: "Oh, where? ”

Gu Kexue then explained: "Your Majesty, you should know that Weichen is a native of Changzhou Mansion in Nanzhili, so there are many precious medicinal materials that Weichen has ordered to be planted in Suzhou Mansion and Yangzhou Mansion nearby to absorb the water of the Five Elements. It's a pity that at this time, Suzhou Mansion and Yangzhou Mansion are making trouble, and the medicinal materials planted by Wechen don't know what happened. ”

It turns out that this is the case, this Gu Kexue is indeed a native of Changzhou Mansion in Nanzhili, and Changzhou Mansion is just in the middle of Yangzhou Mansion and Suzhou Mansion, it is normal for him to plant medicinal herbs in Yangzhou Mansion and Suzhou Mansion, because these two mansions are close to the sea and have abundant water and moisture.

It's a bit troublesome now, Yangzhou Mansion and Suzhou Mansion are full of Japanese robbers at this time, and Jiajing is really a little bit out of control.

He was slightly annoyed and said: "I heard that the chief soldier Tang Kekuan and Qi Jingtong did not listen to the order, so that the pirates and pirates could not be wiped out, otherwise, I will withdraw them and replace them to clean up the pirates and pirates." ”

Unexpectedly, Gu Kexue was surprised and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for being reckless, who did you listen to this, why didn't Weichen hear this?" ”

When Jiajing heard this, he was even more curious: "These are all played by Zhao Wenhua, the governor of Zhejiang, what have you heard?" ”

When Gu Kexue heard this, he couldn't help but suddenly say: "Oh, it turned out that Lord Zhao said it, Weichen understood." What Weichen heard, on the contrary, in Nanzhili, no one knew that he Zhao Wenhua was the son-in-law of Yuyao Xie, and Yuyao Xie's was originally a wealthy maritime family, and pirates and pirates were raised by them. A few years ago, Yang Cong and Lord Yang were the governor of the southeast, and they wantonly cleaned up pirates and pirates, Yuyao Xie was unlucky, and almost all of the pirates and pirates under his hands were wiped out by Lord Yang, and it was Tang Kekuan and Qi Jingtong and other fierce generals who did it. Lord Zhao used the topic to play this time, I am afraid that he wants to take the opportunity to get rid of Tang Kekuan and Qi Jingtong, so that the pirates and pirates can do whatever they want from now on! ”

Yes!

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked: "There is still such a thing? ”

Gu Kexue nodded without hesitation and said: "Of course, this matter is almost known in Nanzhili, Weichen dares to ask again, why did the emperor send Zhao Wenhua to the governor of Zhezhi in the first place, did he listen to the advice of Lord Yan Songyan?" ”

This!

Jiajing thought about it carefully, it was really like this, wasn't it Zhao Wenhua recommended by Yan Song at the beginning.

He couldn't help but wonder: "How do you know?" ”

Gu Kexue glanced at Jiajing, pretended to be cautious, and said: "This, the emperor, you should know, this Zhao Wenhua is Yan Song's godson." ”

This Jiajing has naturally heard of it, he just thinks that someone is deliberately slandering Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua, why is his son not a son, how much does this have to do with the affairs of the court.

However, when he heard Gu Kexue say this, he couldn't help but think about it in his heart, and he couldn't help but be curious: "What do you mean, does this matter have anything to do with Weizhong?" ”

Gu Kexue still nodded without hesitation and said: "Of course, no one in the court knows that at that time, there was no way for the maritime tycoons to be suppressed by Lord Yang, so they let Zhao Wenhua worship Yan Song as his father-in-law, and on behalf of the maritime tycoons to join Yan Song, and Lord Yan really lived up to expectations and pushed Zhao Wenhua to the high position of the governor of Zhejiang, and this maritime tycoon got a chance to breathe." Over the years, Zhao Wenhua estimated that he had restrained Tang Kekuan and Qi Jingtong everywhere, preventing them from cleaning up the few pirates and pirates that were left, and Tang Kekuan and Qi Jingtong naturally wouldn't listen to him much. ”

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but look at Gu Kexue in surprise, as if he wanted to reacquaint himself with this "Urine Refining Book", he really didn't expect that Gu Kexue would say such a thing.

This is also due to Gu Kexue's words, if someone else said it, Jiajing would probably have gone crazy.

He stared at Gu Kexue for a long time, and then said solemnly: "Yucheng, why do you say that, is there something that offends you?" ”

Gu Kexue also replied solemnly: "Your Majesty, he didn't offend Weichen, but made Weichen unable to refine medicine for the emperor." Originally, Weichen didn't want to care about this court, but if they continued like this, the medicinal materials that Weichen planted in Yangzhou Mansion and Suzhou Mansion were gone! Without medicinal materials, how can Weichen refine medicine for the emperor? Weichen, this is no way! ”

Really?

Jiajing really didn't want to believe that Yan Song was such a traitorous villain.

He prefers to believe that this Gu Kexue deliberately slandered Yan Song in order to compete with Yan Song for favor!
