1086 The urge to cry
The monarch and the minister sat down, Chen Xu took a sip of tea and then put down the teacup and smiled and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, I don't know what the ministers have to say?" β
"It's not a big deal, but recently many concubines have a fragrant smell of flowers and plants that can make me feel comfortable, so I like it very much, I heard that it is called perfume, I wonder if Aiqing can hear it?" Qin Shi Huang asked with a warm face.
"Since Your Majesty asked, the minister naturally did not dare to conceal it, this perfume is made by the minister unintentionally to make a flower essential oil for his wife and concubine to bathe and smear, in fact, it is extracted from various flowers and plants in the chemical laboratory, the principle is not complicated, but the process is very cumbersome, and the yield is very low, if Your Majesty likes it, the minister can make various perfumes for His Majesty......"
"Hey, I like this fragrant floral, I don't want to keep it for myself, Aiqing once said that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy, such a wonderful thing can let me monopolize it, not to mention that Aiqing just said that this floral essential oil is not easy to refine, and it will definitely cost a lot of money and a lot of manpower and material resources to make it, how can I let Aiqing break the fee for me, but ......"
"Your Majesty, please speak out, the minister will do his best!"
Qin Shi Huang hesitated for a moment and showed a wry smile, "Aiqing also knows that there are many concubines in my harem, and the perfume is so fragrant and charming, I am afraid that the perfume will spread in the future, and the consumption will be too huge!" β
"It turns out that this is the case, Your Majesty don't worry, the minister can dedicate the method of making perfume to His Majesty, and His Majesty can set up a yamen in the palace to be responsible for making various perfumes for the palace, and even let the Shaofu organize slaves to open up flower fields to plant flowers, which not only saves money, but also is relatively safe, and can also be distinguished from the perfume used by the people, in order to show the royal dignity!" Chen Xu hurriedly said.
"This ......" The emperor hesitated a little, and didn't seem to be satisfied with Chen Xu's answer.
"Your Majesty, do you have other concerns?" Chen Xu asked strangely.
"It's not that I want to embarrass Aiqing, but even so, I'm afraid that the perfume made by Shaofu can't meet the needs of the harem, and the perfume from Shaofu and the perfume from Aiqing must be very different in quality, I'm afraid that many concubines in the harem still have to spend money to buy!"
Chen Xu was also depressed, but this was similar to what he had guessed at the time, and he was afraid that the final task of giving the perfume formula to the emperor would still fall on his head.
And thinking that there might be tens of thousands of women in the emperor's harem, Chen Xu's cold hairs stood up.
According to the current production of perfume, before the large-scale development of special flower fields, the output of essential oils can only be calculated with two, and the daily production of perfume can only be calculated by catties, before there is no cheaper shower gel and soap, these perfumes can not only be used to smear, but also used to bath, a bottle of two taels of perfume, the luxury of use is estimated to be used up in three or five days, and these concubines in order to please the emperor, it is estimated that there is nothing to smear on the body, because no one knows when the emperor will pamper them.
The best way is still what I thought before, the emperor has too many wives, and it can be streamlined...... Well, it should be more than half streamlined, and the less the better, leaving two or three ...... That's impossible, leaving two or three hundred almost.
If that's the case, when the production of essential oils comes up next year, it can fully meet the supply of the harem, and if the soap is sorted out, the amount of perfume used will be much smaller!
"It seems that I have embarrassed Aiqing, alas, Aiqing should give the perfume formula to Zhao Wei!" Seeing that Chen Xu didn't make a sound, Qin Shi Huang also felt a little helpless.
"Your Majesty, have you been feeling tired and sleepy lately?" Chen Xu suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
Qin Shi Huang was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Especially after being happy with the concubine?" Chen Xu asked again.
"Yes!" Qin Shi Huang nodded again.
Great Qin inherited many traditions of the Zhou Dynasty, and it was not shy to talk about sex between men and women in public, and sexual relations were relatively open.
"Your Majesty is now not confused, although the body is strong and prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, but the loss of the essence is different from the time when the blood and qi are strong, the last time I heard that Your Majesty was bedridden, it was caused by the pampering of Concubine Yun for several days, I don't know if the imperial doctor said so!"
"Not bad!" Qin Shi Huang's face changed slightly, and it was a little difficult to look at.
"The five colors make people blind, the five tones make people deaf, the five flavors make people feel refreshed, the galloping hunt makes people crazy, and the rare goods make people get in trouble. It is not the goal of the saint's belly, so he goes to the other and takes this. Ordinary people are addicted to the sound of dogs and horses and can't extricate themselves, all because they want too much and can't do self-cleansing, Your Majesty wants to be light and healthy, then you have to quit lust, but Your Majesty's harem beauties are tens of thousands, immersed in it every day, the natural mind is difficult to calm down, day after day to spoil the concubines, the natural essence loss is serious, the essence is damaged must be insufficient liver and kidney qi, the liver is the place where the soul stays, the kidney is the place where the essence is hidden, the liver is weak, the kidney is weak, the soul is weak, the soul is weak, the soul is weak, the energy is weak, there is a sense of fatigue and sleepiness, It is often accompanied by night dreams, insomnia, convulsions, and restlessness......"
"What Aiqing said is very true, I have indeed had restlessness recently, it seems that I do want to abstain from sexual intercourse, at the beginning, there was that Miao Wu Yin Buxin often prepared some elixirs, and after I swallowed them, my spirit would be doubled, but since Miao Wu was killed, no one in the world can make this elixir...... Qin Shi Huang sighed melancholy.
"Your Majesty, the minister said that there is no elixir of immortality in this world, and there must be no elixir for strengthening the body, that Yin Buxin has an unpredictable origin and behaves secretly, if that potion is really so effective, why has no one ever heard of it? Although the minister has not been to the land of Miao Jiang, but also knows that the Miao people are good at using poison, and there is also the method of worm Gu, these are incompatible with the Central Plains dignified yin and yang dialectical medicine, His Majesty is obsessed with the benefits of Miao medicine, but has not studied the disadvantages of Miao medicine, the runner is ten miles, but wants to drive a hundred miles, will be blood and blood to consume life soon, this is the art of drying up and fishing, can not last long, the Yellow Emperor of the past asked Qi Bo: the ancients, the one who knows, the law in yin and yang, and in the number of techniques, eat and drink modestly, daily life, do not work in vain, so can form with the gods, and end their days, to live a hundred years is to go. The people of this time are not, they take wine as a pulp, take delusion as a rule, get drunk into the room, exhaust their essence with desire, dissipate their truth, do not know how to hold full, from time to time to control the gods, be quick with their hearts, go against the pleasure of life, live without moderation, so half a hundred and decline. β
"Your Majesty is now in the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, but after all, he is about to know the year of the Mandate of Heaven, although it is said that mortals have a hundred years of life, but the world has heard of a hundred years old elders, if you don't know self-cultivation, vainly trying to use the so-called elixir to increase longevity, it is a mistake, if you want to live a long life, you have to abstain, self-cultivation, and cultivation, only this Faer!"
Since he met Qin Shi Huang for the first time in Wancheng, Chen Xu took a dose of fierce medicine in order to interrupt Qin Shi Huang's desire to live forever, and he has not discussed the topic of longevity with Qin Shi Huang for many years.
But seven years have passed in the blink of an eye, Chen Xu himself has grown from a fourteen-year-old boy to a young man in his twenties, and Qin Shi Huang, who had just passed the age of confusion, is now almost in the year of the Mandate of Heaven.
If the fate of the historical figures cannot be changed, then three years later, Qin Shi Huang may die.
Chen Xu still remembers the first time he saw Qin Shi Huang in Wancheng, dressed in Xuancheng with a majestic demeanor, slightly fat but with eye-eyed eyes, black beard and black hair full of energy, standing on the empty street like that, standing in the strong sunlight, surrounded by black-clothed and masked Xuanwu Wei, surrounded by a group of marquis such as Li Si, Zhao Gao, Wang Ben Mengyi, etc., a group of people seemed to come out of thin air and suppressed the entire Wancheng.
And the Qin Shi Huang in front of him, although he had to meet almost every day, but in fact, when he sat face to face, Chen Xu suddenly found that Qin Shi Huang was already old, his temples had turned white, although his beard was still neatly combed, and his demeanor was still majestic, but the spirit of the whole person was completely different.
Chen Xu suddenly lost his mind and was stunned, perhaps his words were too heavy, so that the emperor of Dingding Huaxia's two-thousand-year-old civilization inheritance had lost his way on the road of life, and he destroyed his desire for immortality, but he did not find a spiritual home for him, and the big cake of the emperor's way also made him bear extremely heavy pressure for that slightest opportunity that could barely appear.
Himself deceived him.
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him whose hair had turned slightly white, and he wanted to speak in silence, Chen Xu's heart was bitter, and he actually had the urge to cry.
"Abstinence...... Cultivation...... Nourish the ......" Qin Shi Huang gently muttered these words in his mouth, and his melancholy face slowly relaxed, "Aiqing is reasonable, mortals are already ancient elders at seventy, and the longevity of the elderly is rare, I heard that the elders are all abstinent and cultivate the essence of the Yuan, and the Taoists are especially good at this technique, I have also entered the famous mountain several times to visit the Magi to get a method of practice, Guiguzi, Lushan Gongzhen have all visited, but they are not seen, so they can only raise a group of Fang Dao warlocks in the palace, and learn some of the fur of alchemy!" β
"If Your Majesty wants to learn, the minister has a dozen meditation and breathing methods, which is an authentic Taoist internal breathing technique, practicing for half an hour every day, and then with some fitness exercises, after a few months, Your Majesty's feeling of sleepiness and tiredness will be improved a lot......"
"Aiqing has this method, and I also ask for advice!" Qin Shi Huang stood up excitedly and bowed to Chen Xu.
"Your Majesty, the great courtiers dare not accept it!" Chen Xu hurriedly stood up and returned the salute sideways, "The minister came to Xianyang to assist His Majesty, and he was entrusted by his teacher, but this method was not taught by the master, but the inheritance of the Liezi practiced by the predecessors of Chi Songzi, and it is not complicated to practice, but you insist on it, and the minister will write down the mantra, there are many imperial doctors and doctors in the palace, all of them are famous doctors, and Your Majesty will let the imperial doctor guide, and you will definitely be able to feel some changes soon......"
"The true scriptures of morality: humble heart, solid belly, dedicated and soft, can belong to the baby. Taoism follows it, creates the fetal breath method, sits, concentrates, and looks inward...... People have one body, and they are always in harmony with the spirit. The form is the death of the Lord, and the spirit is the life of the Lord. If you are always together, you will be auspicious, and if you go, you will be fierce...... Unity is one, and it can last forever...... Therefore, the sage taught him to keep one, and he should keep one. It is to hold one with a saint, for the world's ......"
Chen Xu spread out a pen and paper on top of the emperor's imperial case, and while talking about the Taoist internal breath theories that Yu Wuya and Shui gently told him, he quickly wrote down a method of spitting out his heart.
The Chinese Taoist exercises have been inherited for thousands of years, and the meridians, acupuncture points, inner vision, breathing, meditation, and holding the yuan to return to oneness are all esoteric theories derived from the Yellow Emperor's internal scriptures, and then gradually carried forward through the continuous research of Taoist disciples, resulting in many different Taoist cultivation schools.
For the Taoist internal strength method, the controversy of later generations is relatively large, those who believe in it are like gods, and those who don't believe in it are shit, Chen Xu himself didn't believe much before, but since he crossed over, he has seen Yu Wuya and Shui Qingrou, and has seen Chi Songzi and Huang Shigong, who have been countless times more than ordinary mortals, especially after he followed Yu Wuya and Shui Qinggently began to learn the inner breath and breath, he obviously felt the magic of Taoist internal strength, and now he only needs to meditate for half an hour or even even ten minutes every day. Sometimes the exhausted state will soon be full of energy and energy, this is his most real feeling, and after a year or two of intermittent practice, he can already feel that there is a kind of breath flowing in his body, this kind of breath can not be described concretely, or it can only be said to be a very subtle feeling, as long as Chen Xu can concentrate on applying this breath to his feet, he can easily step more than two meters away, but he can't maintain a stable state for a long time, After two or three steps, you will lose your concentration, and once your breath is gone, there will be no effect.
But in any case, the mystery of Taoist exercises has given Chen Xu a deep understanding.
Although Yu Wuya and Shui gently repeatedly told him not to leak the exercises, Chen Xu faced Qin Shi Huang's current state, with a trace of guilt in his worries, and decided to take out the exercises he cultivated.
Chi Songzi had already driven Yu Wuya and Shui Qingrou's two apprentices down the mountain, and he should have thought of this ending a long time ago.
Or maybe this was what the pine nuts had originally intended.
Looking at this Taoist Tuna, which has no name and less than three hundred words, Qin Shi Huang was overjoyed, carefully spread it out and read it carefully on the imperial case, and then exhaled a long breath after going back and forth seven or eight times, and bowed to Chen Xu again, "If there is no Aiqing, I am afraid that I will not be able to get such a precious Taoist cultivation scripture in my life, Aiqing rest assured, this technique will be carefully preserved and will never be passed on, if I die, this scripture will definitely be included in the Shou Palace with me, and it will never be seen by outsiders!" β
"That's good, so as not to embarrass the minister when he sees the seniors of Chi Songzi in the future!" Chen Xu put down the brush with a smile.
