Chapter 340: The Elixir of Life (I)
"You're doing a great job!"
After Yan Xuecai heard this, his heart that had been hanging finally let go. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The "First Five-Year Plan" can be overfulfilled, which is an affirmation of the imperial cabinet, but what the cabinet members want most is Yan Xueyi's appreciation.
The "First Five-Year Plan" had ended, and Yan Xueyi handed Yan Xuecai a new document, on which the words "The Second Five-Year Development Plan of the Empire" were written.
The end of the first five-year plan means the beginning of the second five-year plan, and the imperial cabinet will continue to work hard to perfectly complete the tasks promulgated by Yan Xueyi.
When the cabinet members carefully studied the "Second Five-Year Plan", they found that the implementation of the "Second Five-Year Plan" was simpler than the "First Five-Year Plan", you must know that when the "First Five-Year Plan" was implemented, the empire was almost in a state of poverty and whiteness, five years have passed, the development of the empire in all aspects is like a rapid speed, the foundation of the empire has been stable, with these foundations, to complete the "Second Five-Year Plan", it is much simpler, but there are still many problems, which require the efforts of the cabinet members.
The "First Five-Year Plan" has been overfulfilled, Yan Xueyi will not only give verbal praise, but also substantive rewards, some people will be given titles and become members of the imperial aristocracy, and some nobles will be promoted.
If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have done it, you will be punished! No rules, no rules!
This is the fundamental purpose of everyone's hard work.
On January 1 of the sixth year of Xinghua, in the Taiji Hall of the Dragon City Palace, the nobles of the empire gathered together, Yan Xueyi joined hands with Chang Yuxin to grant titles to the new nobles, and also promoted the titles for some nobles, of course, these two parts are not the main part of today's reward ceremony, the important thing is the reward that Yan Xueyi gives to all the nobles next.
Sitting on the main seat, Yan Xueyi said to the nobles in the audience with a smile: "Do you know that I and the queen have not changed in the past ten years, and there must be no illness?" ”
Yan Xueyi's question was not only the doubts in the hearts of all the nobles present, but also the doubts in the hearts of all those who had seen Yan Xueyi's appearance.
Yan Xueyi is 32 years old this year, Chang Yuxin is also 31 years old, people from youth to middle age, there will be a lot of changes in the whole body, the most direct change is that the face is slowly aging, and wrinkles will slowly appear, but Yan Xueyi and Chang Yuxin's faces seem to have been frozen, frozen in the two of them when they were young, as if time could not leave any traces on their faces.
Not only Yan Xueyi and Chang Yuxin, but also Yan Xueyi and several other women.
What a temptation to look old, but the people who look old are emperors and empresses, which becomes a matter of course in the eyes of most people, and even they will take the initiative to find reasons to explain all this.
"Your Majesty is an immortal, you can live forever, and lead my Chinese nation to stand on top of the world!"
"Your Majesty should have cultivated some kind of rejuvenation and health preservation, and there is a technique for rejuvenating the face."
"Your Majesty may have found the elixir of life, and after eating it, you will live forever."
All sorts of strange answers are widely circulated among these people, but the most influential one is the one "the emperor is an immortal".
Yan Xueyi has experienced many assassinations, but nothing happened at all, and the assassins will die in a very strange way, and everyone present can't understand it, plus the folk rumor "The emperor is Ziwei the Great", the emperor is an immortal descending to earth The fact that more and more people agree that the assassin who died on the spot was also killed by the emperor with immortal methods, so there is no reason for it.
So there are more and more people who worship Yan Xueyi's tablet, and some people even directly worship Chinese coins, and there are busts of Yan Xueyi on Chinese coins.
This is not superstition, but a kind of faith, they believe in Yan Xueyi and are willing to give everything for Yan Xueyi.
Today, Yan Xueyi asked the nobles in the Taiji Hall why he and the queen did not change their appearances, and someone replied respectfully: "Your Majesty and Niangniang are immortals and can live forever." ”
This answer was also endorsed by many nobles.
After Yan Xueyi heard this answer, he was a little speechless, there are many benefits to the emperor being deified, but there are also several disadvantages, Yan Xueyi doesn't know whether he should laugh or cry when he is deified.
"I don't know if I am an immortal or not, but I and the queen can live forever without illness and pain because I have obtained a magical pharmacy and made the 'elixir of life'."
When everyone present heard the word "elixir", there seemed to be something about to explode in their minds, but they didn't expect the emperor and empress to actually eat the "elixir", and now Your Majesty will tell the secret of "elixir", does it mean that Your Majesty will reward them with "elixir", so that they can also have a permanent appearance, no illness and no pain.
Who doesn't want to have a permanent appearance, no disease and no pain?
From ancient times to the present, how many people want to live forever, Qin Shi Huang once sent Xu Fu to lead a thousand boys and girls into the sea to find the elixir, Xu Fu led the huge fleet set off, but he drifted on the sea for a long time and did not find the immortal mountain he said, let alone the elixir, Qin Shi Huang is a tyrant, Xu Fu did not complete the task, and after returning to Qin Shi Huang's style, he will definitely be killed, so he took the thousand boys and girls to drift down the river to Yuben, Maybe the current person is the descendant of Xu Fu and the thousand boys and girls.
After Qin Shi Huang, there were emperors in all dynasties who wanted to find or refine the elixir of immortality, vainly seeking immortality, and on the throne of the emperor, who could watch themselves die of old age or illness, so so many emperors used a lot of manpower and material resources to make themselves immortal.
Now that everyone hears the word "elixir" from Yan Xueyi's mouth, can they not be excited?
Excitement is excited, the nobles also know that it is very difficult to really live forever, the "elixir" in Yan Xueyi's mouth cannot be the real "elixir", if it is the real "elixir", then Yan Xueyi is a real immortal in the old style, but this "elixir" can let him live for a few more decades, without disease and pain, it is also a great thing, and he can also protect his children and grandchildren for decades, so that the family can prosper.
Twenty weak crowns, thirty and standing, forty for confusion, fifty and knowing the destiny of heaven, sixty sixties, seventy ancient rare.
In this era, when you reach the age of fifty, you have to see how long God can let you continue to live, and those who can live to the age of seventy are already very rare, and even higher, it is even rarer.
Looking at the excited expressions of the nobles in the audience, Yan Xueyi then said: "Although the medicine is called 'elixir', it can't really make people immortal......
