Chapter 353: Entanglement (4)

Qianqing Palace Warm Pavilion.

Dry means heaven, and clear means thorough.

This is the head of the inner court and the daily living place of the emperor. In the literal sense of the word, the Qianqing Palace means that the place where the emperor lives is as clear as the sky, and nothing unsightly is done.

In fact, from Zhengde to the Jiajing Emperor's dynasty, the two emperors did not like to live here on weekdays. There are many constraints in the inner court, and it is not comfortable to live. Therefore, Zhengdesuo's "sex" lives in the leopard room in Xiyuan, while Jiajing chooses Yuxixi Palace in Xiyuan, and the picture is to be at ease.

Therefore, since becoming the emperor, this serious emperor's bedroom, Jiajing has really not been to it a few times.

Compared with the fine house of Yuxi Palace, it is much more magnificent here. It's a pity that the house is too big and there are too many rules, and even the emperor feels a little restrained.

At this moment, there are no eunuchs and palace maids in the warm pavilion.

The earth dragon was burned in the house, which was very warm, and the mouths of the two crane incense burners also spit refreshing sandalwood. Ke Jiajing has been taking the elixir for a long time, and his body is much stranger than ordinary people. This past winter, he only wore a spacious robe, and he didn't feel cold.

At this moment, being burned by the earth dragon, Jiajing only felt a little sweaty on his body. He was sitting in a chair while Empress Chen brought a basin of hot water and was about to wash his feet.

"The five watch stars have not been extinguished, and they slowly walked out of the mountain gate. Stand with your head held high to the east and untie your garment. Take a breath through your nose, go straight into the dantian, and use your divine power around your body to spit out as fast as the wind. First like an arrow, then like a line, both cold as ice and white as a chain. "Jiajing's vest was hot and dry, but his spirit was extremely excited. If you don't understand the details, you must think that this long-lived lord of the Ming Dynasty's ninety-five honor has just taken the elixir.

Jiajing had just finished his meditation at the moment. Because Empress Chen has been doing well recently, the emperor is happy in his heart, so he turned over her brand, and Emperor Jiajing doesn't remember when the last time he was with the empress, but time is meaningless to a person like him who is dedicated to cultivation. In fact, he also believed that as long as he cultivated so diligently, the Immortal Dao was not something that was too vain to be touched.

Because the elixir Jiajing took was very strange, and he couldn't arouse the slightest interest in the things in the room after eating it, so he deliberately stopped the "medicine" for a day this time.

But since entering the Qianqing Palace, the emperor has never stopped talking, and what he said is all about cultivation.

Unexpectedly, the empress, who used to be furious when she heard about cultivation, was surprisingly gentle today, and without saying anything, she looked at the emperor with a look of adoration.

With such a good audience by his side, Emperor Jiajing felt very good, and he also had the heart to show off in front of the queen. In this way, he talked endlessly, and talked for more than an hour, but he said that he was excited.

It's a pity that the queen listened drowsy next to her, but because she remembered Sun Dan's words, she had to make a look of listening with relish on the surface. In fact, there was a great bitterness in my heart: Mr. Sun, Mr. Sun, you have to listen patiently to the words of the Lord Banzai. But looking at the appearance of this dead man, full of nonsense, he is simply a madman, isn't this torturing this palace?

Hearing Jiajing recite such a mantra, Queen Chen's head was full of bees flying. But she still 'inserted' a sentence in a timely manner: "Your Majesty, listening to what you said just now, it seems to be an immortal spell, and I don't know when the method is, and what is the wonderful?" The concubines are not qualified enough, and they can't understand. ”

This question scratched the emperor's itch, Jiajing smiled proudly, and rarely reached out to 'touch' the queen's shoulder, and said: "This mantra is the method of the Sword Immortal Dao, and a few days ago, Wang Li Immortal Chang just passed it on to me. ”

Empress Chen hurriedly said: "Sword Immortal, is it the kind of red line, hidden mother, and empty child of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

The emperor glanced at Empress Chen in surprise: "I didn't think that the queen also knows, yes, yes, yes, it's their kind of method." The Sword Immortal Flow is very factional, but it can be said that the Sword Immortal Kung Fu is a success, and it is all a triad of sword qi, saying essence, and Yuehua. Sword qi is also known as murderous qi and gang qi, and the sword immortal faction has a set of wonderful kung fu for collecting and gathering sword qi. It is said that Jingyue Hua is the sun and the yin are ......"

"It's started again...... Queen Chen listened to it like a fight, and on the surface, she had to make a look that she could listen to "fascinated", but she didn't dare to be distracted in her heart, and when necessary, she had to "insert" a sentence of exclamation, and the hard work in this was not enough for outsiders.

While sighing in his mouth, he took off the emperor's socks, and his eyes were like a pair of pale feet, which were covered with dark red spots.

Empress Chen was shocked, and quietly stretched out a finger and pressed it on it, and it took half a day to recover.

This was already an obvious symptom of mercury poisoning, and Empress Chen's eyes were sour, and she stopped unconsciously.

"What's wrong?" Noticing Empress Chen's strange appearance, the emperor suddenly asked.

Of course, Empress Chen didn't dare to say bad things about cultivation in front of the emperor, and after Sun Dan's ear and face for a while, she also knew that the emperor hated others the most for criticizing his cultivation.

If you want to keep your position as queen, you still need to say something against your will when necessary.

Empress Chen gritted her teeth and said in her heart: Damn, Long Live Lord has taken so many poisonous things, and this body is afraid that it won't last long. It stands to reason that I should have admonished Your Majesty. However, today I finally got together with Long Live Lord. If I refute his interest again today, I am afraid that he will not come to see me again. Once he falls out of favor, he doesn't know how Zhang Fox will aspire to this palace. Let's go, let's go, let's go, now this palace still takes care of itself first.

The queen smiled on her face: "I heard Mr. Sun say a few days ago that there are four elements in this practice: law, couples, wealth, and land. Long live the master's cultivation is naturally the best method, and there is Wang Xianchang from the side. This method and husband are all the same. The Son of Heaven has a wide range of seas, and what kind of elixir 'medicine' can't be found, and the entire palace is a big cave. If you can't become an immortal, there will be no immortals in this world. ”

Jiajing laughed: "The queen's knowledge has grown, Sun Dan is really a good teacher, I asked him to come into the palace to be honest with you and Concubine Zhang, it seems that he is right." ”

The queen smiled: "Long live the Lord is naturally sage." ”

She knelt on the ground to wash the emperor's feet, because it was spring, and the house was hot, and the queen was thinly dressed. The emperor looked down from above, only saw a white neck, and his heart moved: This queen is really good, why didn't I find out before.

As soon as the thought is born, a fire ignites in the heart. The emperor didn't care much, so he pulled his feet out of the footbasin, and carried Empress Chen to the couch with both hands.

Naturally, there was a tumultuous rainstorm next.

Queen Chen's nine droughts are rainy, and she is naturally very happy. Although she is young, she has been through the world for a long time, and if she doesn't understand those things. If you think about it, today is a dangerous period, a good day to conceive.

If he can successfully give birth to a prince, his position will be saved.

And she will also take the lead in the battle of the harem.

Empress Chen was inexplicably grateful to Sun Dan in her heart, and thought that Sun Dan would take the exam tomorrow, but now she was trapped in the hands of Zhang Guifei, but she couldn't do anything.

Thinking of this, Empress Chen sighed unconsciously.

Emperor Jiajing saw that Empress Chen was everywhere today, and when he heard the empress sigh, he couldn't help asking: "What is the empress sighing, is it strange that I was snubbed in the past?" Your "sex" is sometimes a little anxious, and I have scolded you before, do you mind? ”

Empress Chen hurriedly said: "The thunder and rain and 'dew' are all heavenly graces, and His Majesty's blame for the concubines at that time was also a love for the concubines. When the concubine sighs now, Mr. Sun will try it tomorrow, but at the moment he is still talking to Concubine Zhang. This Concubine Zhang's sister is also really, she only cares about her own happiness, but she doesn't think about Mr. Sun. Since the emperor asked so, Empress Chen took the opportunity to say good things about Sun Dan to see if she could help Sun Dan get out of trouble.

Since she got Sun Dan's assistance, Queen Chen can be regarded as relying on a great god behind her. During this time, the entire Jin merchants were instructed by Sun Dan to secretly send a large amount of silver to Empress Chen to make political contributions. With a large amount of capital to use, Empress Chen has been doing things a lot more smoothly recently, and she has also attracted a large number of people in the palace.

In comparison, the little silver collected in Zhang Guifei's casino was nothing compared to Lao Xi'er. Although Huang Jin also has money, it is a pity that there are shares of the emperor in the Lu family's money bank, and every penny is clearly out, and there is no way to use it.

Therefore, in this harem dispute, Zhang Guifei and Huang Jin have vaguely fallen behind.

Everything that Sun Dan encountered in the Yuhuayuan had already been reported to Queen Chen, and the mother of the Ming Dynasty was so anxious that she jumped to her feet. Sun Dan is one of the many things in her future layout, if he wins the Jinshi, he will enter the cabinet in the future. Whether it is Empress Chen's future prince competing for the crown prince, or she wants to keep the position of queen, there is a cabinet minister to help speak, and you must be a little more sure.

Besides, Empress Chen has a blind admiration for Sun Dan, in her opinion, there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as Sun Dan is willing to make a move, everything can be easily done.

Sun Danzhong's step is the core political interest of the entire Empress Chen system, and it must not be twisted and turned.

"Hehe, that's what happened, I know." The emperor smiled: "Empress, it's already late at night, don't worry about it, Concubine Zhang is measured." She has just been in her confinement and has been in a bad mood lately. I feel sorry for her, she likes to listen to stories, so just let Sun Dan tell it to her. Well, if I guessed correctly, when Sun Dan finished telling the story of his princess, it would be time to go to the examination room. It's really not good, I just have to ask someone to send him into the examination room with a horse when the time comes, and I can't delay him after all. ”

When Empress Chen heard this, her heart was filled with anger, and she said in her heart: When it is time? How does Mr. Sun prepare for the exam, is this not sure to toss him, so that he has no time to review his homework?

If it was replaced by the previous Empress Chen, I am afraid that I would have given the emperor a cold face a long time ago.

But today's Empress Chen has studied "Zhuangzi" from Sun Dan for so long, and her scheming is much deeper than before, and she can calm down.

She suddenly remembered what Sun Dan had said before on how to contact the emperor, so she had to endure the dissatisfaction in her heart. pretended to have a sad look, and only stared at Jiajing with his eyes.

Jiajing was a little uncomfortable by her, and finally couldn't help laughing: "Okay, good, the queen has really changed now...... In fact, Sun Dan has changed now, he has become much more cunning than before, and he refuses to tell the truth with me. On that day in the Imperial Garden, you look at his appearance, can I not be angry? It is better to let him suffer from Concubine Zhang, or to frustrate his spirit. I look at his talents, and it doesn't matter if he becomes my minister in the future. If he fails to pass the Jinshi exam, although I can't make him a minister, I can still allow him to be a governor or something. ”

"It turns out that Your Majesty is still angry." The queen suddenly realized, and she was also secretly frightened. She didn't expect the emperor to hold such a grudge, not only did he remove Sun Dan from the post of senior of the Inner Study Hall, but she didn't even want to give him the title of Jinshi. Thinking about it, Zhang Guifei dared to do this, and she should have the emperor's acquiescence.

The queen hurriedly said: "Actually, Your Majesty is wrong to blame Mr. Sun." It's not that Mr. Sun hasn't found a way to share His Majesty's worries, but it's just that the time is not right, so it's inconvenient to say. ”

As soon as the empress said this, the emperor immediately said, "Huh! With a sound, he sat up on the bed and stared at Empress Chen with sharp eyes: "What method does he have, how do you know, timing, when?" ”

Emperor Jiajing's bare chest was covered with small red spots, and Empress Chen was frightened.

She hurriedly replied: "After that day came down, Mr. Sun told the concubine about that method, I am afraid that His Majesty will misunderstand him." Mr. Sun said that this method can only be said until the beginning of the examination, and it cannot be advanced, otherwise it will not work. ”

"Say." The Emperor shouted in a deep voice.

Empress Chen told the emperor the matter that Sun Dan had discussed with herself that day to take the queen mother into Beijing, and said: "The ministers in the court are all opposed to the king and his old man's honorific title for Xingxing, relying on them, even if Your Majesty discusses it for another hundred years, there will be no result." It is necessary to find other loyal people to speak up for the country and His Majesty, and the new science and technology scholars are the most suitable candidates. And to pick up the Queen Mother into Beijing, if she is blocked by the ministers and cannot enter the palace, it will inevitably arouse the righteous indignation of the people of the world. In this way, the truth is on His Majesty's side. ”

Jiajing heard Empress Chen say this, thought for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Okay, good way." Sun Dan, Sun Dan, you really didn't disappoint me, I didn't expect you to leave such a thing. Unparalleled national warriors, really unparalleled national warriors. My father and son can finally be reunited...... What a solution! ”

After saying all this, Empress Chen hurriedly knelt in front of Emperor Jiajing and kowtowed, and wept: "Your Majesty, there is a good way of Mr. Sun, but the concubines know about it and don't report it, so that the long-lived lord sighs for a long time for the honorific title of the king and his old man, and has been worried for so long. The concubine saw that His Majesty didn't want to eat, and she also lost weight, and the concubine ...... The concubine was so distressed that she couldn't sleep. This is the crime of the concubine, please punish your majesty heavily. ”

Jiajing was so happy that tears were about to fall, and he hurriedly helped the queen up: "Queen, you have made great contributions to me, what are your sins, it's too late for me to reward you!" Sun Dan is right, I am too anxious, if I heard his idea at that time, I am afraid that I will not be able to help but invite the Queen Mother into Beijing, which will be a bad thing. ”

After speaking, the emperor did not stay in bed, so he jumped off the bed with a pair of bare feet, and shouted loudly outside: "Which eunuch is on duty today?" ”

An old eunuch in his forties and fifties hurriedly walked in and knelt on the ground: "Long live the lord, Ruan Dayue, the minister and the ceremonial supervisor, is on duty today." ”

Emperor: "Okay, Ruan Dayue, I know you, and your writing is very promising. Immediately drafted the will, and said that I would take the Queen Mother into Beijing to be raised. ”

"Yes." The eunuch named Ruan Dayue immediately walked to the front of the case, picked up the pen and quickly wrote down a notebook and submitted it.

The emperor read it, picked up his pen and wrote the word "quasi", and shouted: "Go to the Shangbao Bureau immediately, let them use the seal, and send it to Anlu urgently for 800 miles overnight, so that the empress dowager can come to the capital." Order the magistrate to greet the Empress Dowager along the way, by the way, please don't delay the Empress Dowager, be sure to come to the capital within a month. ”

"Yes." Seeing the emperor's serious expression, the old eunuch didn't dare to stay, and hurriedly retreated with the provincial rule.

"Your Majesty." Empress Chen called out on the bed.

The emperor was refreshed: "Empress, I am coming." ”

The empress glanced at the emperor resentfully: "Your Majesty, Mr. Sun is there ......"

"Haha, I know. Mr. Sun has made such a big contribution, how can I ruin his future, and I have to give him a good end. ”

As he spoke, he shouted: "Come on, go to the Imperial Garden to spread the word, let Sun Dan go home, don't boil eagles there." Just said, I told him to rest quietly, take the test tomorrow, and give me a jinshi to come out. ”

Empress Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but chant in her heart, "Amitabha, Mr. Sun is finally saved!" ”

At this moment, in the Imperial Garden, Sun Dan didn't know that the Great Rites Discussion was about to officially kick off from tonight.

With the beginning of the examination and the entry of the Empress Dowager into Beijing, this major event that disturbed the entire court situation would change the political form of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Now Sun Dan was very proud, he spat out beads, and sprayed sentences at Zhang Guifei and Zhang Qiangrose like a machine gun.

It was really late, and Sun Dan tossed it all night, and the people in the entire imperial garden were so tired that many people fell asleep while standing, and then woke up with Sun Dan's exclamation.

This includes Zhang Qiangrose, at this time, Sun Dan just shouted: "Your Majesty, have you ever remembered the summer rain lotus on the shore of Daming Lake?" ”

She was excited, and her body trembled: "What do you remember, what do you remember?" There was a hint of crying in his voice.

Zhang Guifei was also woken up by Sun Dan, and when she saw Zhang Qiangrose asking, she said angrily: "What is your name, you don't have a proper shape." ”

Zhang Qiangrose said again and again: "Yes, yes, Niangniang, I seem to be sick." ”

Zhang Guifei also felt that she was unwell, and she was so flustered that she wanted to vomit.

At this time, a eunuch ran in: "Your Majesty has a decree to order Sun Dan to go home immediately to prepare for the exam." ”

"The ministers and grandsons are lightly ordered." Sun Dan happily thanked him, and then said to Zhang Guifei with an unwilling face: "Guifei Niangniang, the minister still has two episodes to tell, or will I leave after I finish speaking?" Let's say that the little swallow ...... this day"

Zhang Qiangrose screamed: "Don't say it, I want to vomit when I hear the three words of Xiaoyanzi now." ”

Zhang Guifei also had a nervous breakdown: "Don't say it." ”
