Chapter 216: The Emperor is Alchemy

"Your Majesty, the list of this year's palace examination is out!"

Xiao Huangmen came to the West Garden and said respectfully. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Jiajing was wearing a yellow robe, and he was sitting by the furnace for alchemy, and a few monks next to him personally guided him, which was called sincerity and spirit.

"Got it, throw it on the case."

Jiajing, who was concentrating, glanced at Xiao Huangmen with disgust: "I know, throw it on the case!" ”

"Yes." Xiao Huangmen trembled in fright and hurriedly withdrew.

"Your Majesty, this pot of elixir is about to be baked! I believe that it must be the best, especially if the emperor personally operates, I dare not say that I am immortal, and I believe that there is nothing to say about longevity! ”

The Fang Shi on the side said with a smile.

This man's voice was hoarse, if Li Weiguo heard this person speak, he would be surprised, why did this person come here?

Where is the West Garden? The residence of the Son of Heaven can be said to be the decree under the West Garden, which can be transmitted to every corner of the Ming Dynasty through more than 10,000 post stations in the Celestial Empire, and the origin of the decree of the Celestial Empire of 800!

"There is Lao Hao Aiqing!"

Fang Cai said that Dengkelu Jiajing was a little annoyed, but now that he talked about the elixir in this furnace, Jiajing completely changed his posture, with a lovely smile, where is the majesty of Fang Cai?

Especially the person in front of him is a master who has a strange temper, so Jiajing is also polite and respectful.

The will of Heaven is passed on to the Taoist priests outside the Fangwai, since it represents the heavens, how can he not be respectful?

"Haha, fellow Daoist, the time has come, and the elixir should be baked!"

The two were silent for a long time, quietly paying attention to the Dan furnace in front of them, and the Taoist priest smiled.

Since Jiajing believes in Taoism, he naturally has his own Taoist name, and generally in private, the priest does not call him a saint, but only calls him a Taoist friend, which can also be seen Jiajing's favor for the Taoist priest.

Hearing this, Jiajing's eyes were also bright, the process of refining the pill was very troublesome, and every step had to be mastered, and it was fortunate that this old Taoist was personally guided by his side to barely pass the test, otherwise he really didn't know what to do, he had been busy for so long, and now he was told that it was done, Jiajing was also happy: "Okay, there is Lao Hao Aiqing!" ”

Summoned a few boys to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, just wait for the Dan furnace to slowly dissipate the heat and then take out the pill, Jiajing is not in a hurry, alchemy for so many years, this concentration is naturally still there.

"Since the emperor has political affairs to do, why don't you go to the palace to test the list first?"

The cooling time is very long, this is related to the formation of the elixir, and it is not possible to open the furnace directly, anyway, there is nothing to do, so Fang Shi persuaded the saint to handle political affairs.

Jiajing's mind is now in this Dan furnace, and he has long been looking forward to it, and he is still a little unwilling to hear this person say, but seeing that it seems that it will not be able to open the furnace for a while, he is also a little annoyed and said: "That's it." ”

With a wave of his hand, he went to the desk in the study.

The eunuch was waiting for the booklet on the side, Jiajing opened the book at will, and the dense text on it made him a little disgusted, and he always felt that this was a mundane thing, and he should not be ignored by himself as an outsider.

The priest beside him paid little attention to these mundane things, and only stood aside respectfully and did not speak.

Originally, Jiajing wanted to directly criticize the red and shout that the celebrant would stamp the big seal, but now looking at the appearance of Fang Shi, he couldn't help but be a little curious, and thought that it would be better to give it a try.

"What are Hao Aiqing's expectations for this year's imperial examination?"

The words seemed to be headless and brainless, but Fang Shi naturally knew what His Majesty meant, lowered his head, and continued to turn a deaf ear.

"Why don't you speak?" Jiajing is a little funny, this Fang Shi has a very good temper, a serious eight hundred bull-nosed old way, when he doesn't want to speak, even if he is reluctant to speak, he doesn't speak, he is so domineering!

"Lao Dao is a person who is a foreigner, does not seek fame and wealth, only seeks three meals a day, coarse tea and light rice, brocade clothes and jade food, I am just passing by, and now I can be committed to the saint to talk about the Tao has been the luck of a lifetime, especially Your Majesty has a life-saving grace for me, as for others, Lao Dao has no children and no daughters, naturally there is no expectation!"

Fang Shi smiled, still looking like a hanger.

"I only remembered when I saw the name, that elementary school student in your village is now at the end of the palace exam!"

Jiajing said with a smile, Li Weiguo had some impressions in his heart, in addition to Hu Zongxian who posted the test paper for himself to see, this person had also met in the corner of Beijing, that is, this person recommended the Fang Shi in front of him to himself, so Jiajing had the heart to test it.

"It doesn't hurt at the end, it's gold, and it always shines."

Fang Shi didn't care.

"You're not as good as officialdom, you don't understand, you don't understand!"

Jiajing smiled: "In my Ming Dynasty, if a scholar is a fellow jinshi, he will not be able to pass the court examination, and he will be a sesame petty official for the rest of his life, and he will not be able to get out!" ”

"Then be a sesame petty official, who is the person and what the life."

"Are you really not going to intercede for him? If you open your mouth today, I will issue an order to give him the new champion, Jinshi and the first, how about it? ”

Jiajing seemed to be smiling.

"Everything has a fixed number, and it is not beautiful to force it!"

Fang Shi was unmoved.

Jiajing's face changed for a long time, and he suddenly slapped the table and said: "Haha, okay, what I want is people like you, haha, you and I are outsiders, I am also in accordance with the will of heaven to do the emperor's errands, so I have to pay attention to these mundane things, and today's words are very much in line with my meaning!" ”

"Don't dare, Lao Dao has been like this for many years, begging for food, and eating a big feast, just like that, it's not very different, what do I have to do with the wealth of the world? What does it matter to me if I am rich? ”

Fangshi still doesn't care.

Jiajing glanced at the Taoist priest, his eyes were sincere, and there was no suspicion of fraud.

Thinking about Jiajing, as the head of the huge empire, ordinary people know what to fart when they fart, and now this Taoist priest is so serious, this can't help but be overjoyed, very good, I have picked up a treasure now!

"Hmm!" Jiajing smiled with satisfaction, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Do you know what happened to this year's palace exam because of you?" ”

Because I? Fang Shi was a little curious: "Lao Dao has entered the palace, he just wants to repay the emperor's life-saving grace, the emperor killed the prefect of Yanzhou for some reason, and helped himself avenge the great revenge, and he is also grateful, and he just accompanies the holy alchemy every day, how can he have anything to do with this palace?" ”

"Haha......"

Jiajing laughed, the pill of the Dan furnace couldn't come out for a while, and it was boring to sit idle anyway, but now this product has opened a chatterbox: "The relationship is not only there, it's not small!" ”

Fang Shi is even more of a monk now: "Why? ”

If you are a soldier and you don't do alchemy every day, what does it have to do with the imperial examination? (To be continued.) )
