Three days later, Li Xuanshi's canonization ceremony was solemnly held, and all the military officials above the fifth rank in the capital participated

In just over a month, two canonization ceremonies for the queen were held one after another, which may have created a precedent in ancient history

Although Emperor Taichang made everything simple, after all, this is the queen's canonization ceremony, even if it is simplified, it can be reduced to where, some rituals and processes must be followed

Therefore, Li Xuanzhi's canonization ceremony was much more grand than that of the Empress Dowager Zheng, after all, the Empress Dowager Zheng met Emperor Taichang when she held the empress canonization ceremony, so a lot of rituals and processes were omitted

Li Xuanshi's canonization ceremony did not have this scruples, so those ceremonies and processes that were omitted when Empress Dowager Zheng ascended the throne could not be omitted here by Li Xuanshi

The most important part of the canonization ceremony is naturally that Emperor Taichang personally handed over the queen's golden book and golden treasure to Li Xuanzhi, which means that Li Xuanzhi officially became the queen

Because Emperor Taichang was seriously ill, this ceremony was completed in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Li Xuanzhi cried with joy at the moment he received the golden book, and the pale Emperor Taichang smiled silently, he finally ended a matter that troubled his heart

After the canonization ceremony of Li Xuanshi's empress, Emperor Taichang called the fourteen auxiliary ministers of his entrustment and issued an edict, saying that after his death, he would be buried in the mausoleum built by Emperor Jingtai that year, and the mausoleum had been empty since the restoration of Yingzong, and Emperor Taichang felt that the size and location of the mausoleum were good

According to the custom of the feudal dynasty, the prince could not build a mausoleum before he ascended the throne, and the time for Emperor Taichang to ascend the throne was still short, and he did not even choose the place of the mausoleum, let alone the construction of the mausoleum

Emperor Taichang knew that his limit was approaching, and he couldn't let Zhu Youxiao build a mausoleum for him after he died, and it was enough for an emperor to build a mausoleum in his life

Therefore, Emperor Taichang decided to use the mausoleum of Emperor Jingtai, which was empty anyway, and it was built according to the specifications of the Son of Heaven, which was just right to come to the rescue

"There is a Honglu Temple official medicine, where is it?" After arranging the matter of the mausoleum, Emperor Taichang hesitated for a moment, and then said in a deep voice to Wang An, who was standing on the side

Hearing this, Li Hongyu's brows suddenly frowned slightly, knowing that what should have come has always come

"Your Majesty, this medicine is actually called an elixir, and it can't be trusted," Fang Congzhe hurriedly stopped when he heard this

It turned out that when Emperor Taichang was critically ill, Li Kezhuo of Honglu Temple refined several large pills, called them elixirs, which had the miraculous effect of resurrecting the dead, and wanted to sacrifice them to Emperor Taichang

Fang Congzhe didn't believe that there was such a miraculous elixir in the world, so he stopped it, but he didn't think that the matter was still known to Emperor Taichang

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty respected Taoism, so they naturally believed in Taoist alchemy, and the most famous of them was the Jiajing Emperor

Emperor Jiajing believes in Taoism very much, likes the art of immortals and old Taoism, and collects monks and secret recipes for immortality, many people have ascended to heaven because of this, and some people have also written green words for Emperor Jiajing, that is, Taoist ceremonies to pray to the heavens, and then in the officialdom

Because Emperor Jiajing was bent on seeking immortality, he took pills for a long time, not only his health became worse and worse, but his temper became worse and worse, and the official group was repaired enough

However, later, the seriously ill Emperor Jiajing woke up and drove out all the monks in the palace, but he still could not escape the coming of death

In fact, Emperor Taichang's illness this time was not sudden, but the result of long-term accumulation, and the so-called freezing three feet is not a day's cold

Emperor Taichang was not liked by Emperor Wanli, so he was too indulgent in life, according to the diagnosis of the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, the reason why Emperor Taichang was sick was because of excessive sperm damage, so it was recommended to use drugs such as Gu Jingjian

This kind of congesting and spermatogenic medicine is originally slow to achieve results, and it needs to be recuperated, but in recent years, natural disasters have continued, and Emperor Taichang can calm down, and he is not less angry with the ministers

Besides, ancient medical skills were limited, and where could such a complex disease be cured, the so-called recuperation was just a helpless move

Emperor Taichang can be said to be desperate now, and in desperation, he naturally wants to try the elixir offered by Li Kezhuo, and maybe he can save his life, this is the psychology of rushing to the doctor in a hurry

"I have made up my mind, don't persuade the Qing family anymore" Emperor Taichang saw that Fang Congzhe wanted to stop him from taking medicine, so he immediately waved his hand to him, and then instructed Wang An to send Li Kezhuo over

Li Kezhuo is the Honglu Temple, Honglu Temple is in charge of the court, guests, auspicious and evil ceremonies, all national ceremonies, suburban temples, sacrifices, court meetings, banquets, feasts, canonizations, calendars, spring, transmission, music, and each for its own affairs

It didn't take long for an attendant to lead an official in his fifties to walk in, tall, with a good countenance, elegant behavior, and indeed a bit of a fairy style, holding a simple brocade box in his hand

Li Hongyu knew that this official was Li Kezhuo, and his eyes fell on the brocade box in his hand, if he was not mistaken, this box contained the elixir offered by Li Kezhuo

"Minister Li Kezhuo knocked to see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live" Li Kezhuo walked quickly to the soft couch and knelt down to Emperor Taichang in a proper manner

"Master Li, do you have an elixir to offer?" Emperor Taichang looked at the brocade box in Li Kezhuo's hand, his eyes emitted a strange brilliance, of course he didn't want to die like this

"Your Majesty, please see, this is the elixir offered by the ministers" Li Kezhuo opened the brocade box when he heard this, and said seriously

Hearing this, everyone at the scene stretched their necks to look, only to see that there were a few red pills inside, which was also the origin of the red pill case later

"Master Li, where did you get this elixir?" Emperor Taichang glanced at the red pills and asked

"Back to the emperor, when the minister was young, he was collecting medicine in Mount Emei, and he met a Taoist immortal, he had a fate with the minister, so he gave the minister some elixir, and the medicinal materials were collected from the fairyland of the gods, which can cure all kinds of diseases" Li Kezhuo's face turned pale when he heard this, and he said seriously

"Humph!" Li Hongyu looked at Li Kezhuo with a solemn face, a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, he knew that Li Kezhuo was bragging, if there was such an elixir, it should have been dedicated to Emperor Wanli a long time ago

"I see!" Emperor Taichang couldn't help but nod thoughtfully when he heard this, as if he accepted Li Kezhuo's statement, and at this time, in order to survive, he could only believe in Li Kezhuo

"Come on, bring the elixir, I want to try it" Then, Emperor Taichang opened his mouth and instructed Wang An on the side, the elixir offered by Li Kezhuo was his only hope to live now

"Your Majesty, by all means, this medicine has not yet been verified, and the emperor can't taste it himself" Fang Congzhe was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly stopped, he didn't believe in any elixir, if Emperor Taichang took the medicine, it would be bad

"Your Majesty, don't" Zhang Weixian and others also opened their mouths to persuade each other, this is a major event of the country

Although Li Hongyu also joined the queue of dissuasion, he knew very well that it would be futile, just like a drowning person who encountered a life-saving straw, he would definitely grasp it desperately

"Your Majesty, the immortal chief once told the minister that this medicine can only be used if someone who is destined to take it, and if there is no fate, he will die violently after eating, so the minister asked the emperor to think twice"

At this time, Li Kezhuo bowed his hand to Emperor Taichang and replied seriously

"Died violently?" Fang Congzhe was taken aback when he heard this, pointed at Li Kezhuo and shouted, "Bold fanatic, what are your intentions?" Come on, take him down! ”

"That's it!" As soon as Fang Congzhe's words fell, Emperor Taichang let out a deep sigh, calming down the somewhat chaotic situation at the scene

"Master Li, you said that only those who are destined for this medicine can wield divine effects?" Then, Emperor Taichang asked Li Kezhuo with a serious expression

"Back to the emperor, the immortal chief told Yu Chen like this at that time, and the minister didn't know what the specific situation was" Li Kezhuo nodded when he heard this, and replied in a deep voice

"Humph!" Li Hongyu couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, it was obvious that this was Li Kezhuo's excuse, and its purpose was to leave him a way out

"Your Majesty, since the properties of this medicine are unknown, the emperor should not take it" Seeing that Li Kezhuo could not guarantee the safety of the pill, all the ministers on the scene spoke up against it, which is a matter of the safety of the emperor

"Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, it is better to find two people to test the medicine for the emperor to verify its medicinal properties" Li Kezhuo was already prepared, and said when he heard the words

"This method is very good" Emperor Taichang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and after nodding, he ordered Wang An to do this

After a while, Wang An led two young and strong chamberlains into the Dongnuan Pavilion and asked the two of them to test the medicine for Emperor Taichang, which was a great honor for the two chamberlains

So, under the gaze of everyone at the scene, Li Kezhuo took out two pills, asked someone to bring a burning candlestick, and shook the two pills lightly on the candle flame

"Look, it's discolored"

With Li Kezhuo's action, the two pills in his hand gradually turned from red to white, which made everyone at the scene shocked, and they all pointed to the two pills and said

After the two red pills turned white, Li Kezhuo took his hand away from the candle flame, and the two white pills gradually turned red again

"Again...... "Seeing this, the people in the room all looked surprised, and their faces were unbelievable, it was the first time they had seen such a magical thing

"Your Majesty, according to what the immortal chief said, the First Emperor sent boys and girls to the sea back then, looking for this kind of elixir, but the First Emperor killed too much and had a dry heavenly harmony, so he failed to get this medicine."

Seeing everyone's shocked looks, Li Kezhuo suddenly became proud, and said loudly to Emperor Taichang, "It is the will of heaven that the emperor can get this medicine today, which indicates that my Ming Dynasty is about to prosper, and prosperity is just around the corner!" ”

"Carving insect skills!" Li Hongyu heard that the corners of his mouth showed a hint of disdain, he had already seen through Li Kezhuo's tricks
