Chapter 279: Take the elixir I have given

In history, this Jiajing Emperor seemed to be hiding in the palace all day long, and he didn't even go to court for more than ten years, leaving a bad reputation in the history books. update

Through the contact in the past few months, Wu Jie knows. Jiajing is not only not stupid, but his governing ability and political skills are very clever.

For a long time, Wu Jie was not impressed by the secret service organization of the Ming Dynasty. He was already familiar with the Lu family, and now he can also talk to Chen Hong, the head of the East Factory, and even disapproves of these two structures in his heart, thinking that the prestige of the factory guards is just a false rumor, and they are all boasted about.

Now, Jiajing stayed at home, but he knew everything about the Li Mansion's birthday banquet, and even knew that he had told a joke with Caiyun and Yiyi, which made Wu Jie have to be shocked.

He suddenly remembered the situation when he saw Chen Hong at the Li family that day, and his heart was awe-inspiring. Could it be that Jiajing already knows the ins and outs of his trip to the Li family, and he is warning himself not to be too intimate with the ministers and relatives of the DPRK and China.

Or did he simply want to say that the affairs inside and outside the court were all under his control, and no one wanted to hide it from him?

At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed in Wu Jie's heart: Maybe things were not as complicated as he imagined, Chen Hong sneaked into the Li Mansion with other important things and happened to see him. The reason why the emperor mentioned this in front of me was just to see the attitude of me, a close minister of the Son of Heaven, under the strict authority of the emperor.

Originally, Wu Jie was very uninterested in the so-called emperor and the feudal hierarchy, but now, he couldn't help but express fear and trepidation, even if it was only on the surface.

But this degree must be grasped well.

So, it seemed that Wu Jie still had a calm expression, but his hands were unknowingly clenched into fists, and his eyelids jumped slightly.

Of course, all this was done on his own initiative.

Jiajing seemed to be very satisfied with Wu Jie's expression, he loved Wu Jie's poems and articles, and appreciated his calmness and casualness. He who can be a ruler should not be too close to his courtiers, lest he become arrogant.

Seeing that Wu Jie was afraid in his heart, Jiajing glanced at him with relief: This Wu Jie is a man and does things, knows fear, knows fear, knows duty, but he is also a person who can do things, and it is not in vain to look down on him.

Jiajing saw Wu Jie pause, suddenly smiled, and said softly: "Although Wu Qing said it well, it doesn't matter if he is wrong-I like to hear your jokes the most, and I mentioned it in front of Hu Xianchang before." There is nothing left and right, so it's good to relieve boredom. ”

Seeing that the emperor was so kind to Wu Jie, with the attitude of treating him like the most favored minister, Hu Dashun, who was standing quietly beside him, moved his white eyebrows, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.

Hu Yuanyu, who was following behind Wu Jie, was even more jealous, and his eyes were red.

Wu Jie deliberately secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, the minister will tell this story." ”

So, he took a breath and told the story from beginning to end.

To be honest, the cold jokes of later generations are extremely clever in terms of jokes and the burden they shake, even if your laughter is high, it can be easily touched by it, which is very high-end and interesting. Most people have to think about it for a long time before they can come back to their senses.

But what kind of character is Jiajing, as soon as Wu Jie's words fell, he immediately understood, and immediately laughed so much that the Taoist robe on his body was windless: "Haha, haha, Wu Aiqing's story is wonderful." Why, it's the old man who takes Yan Ge again. Haha, otherwise, you will collect all Yan Ge's jokes together, publish a book, and make a book according to what you said before. I think that Yan Ge Lao is also from a Jinshi background, and he has a prominent reputation in Shilin, and now he is being by you like this, and he can't talk about any image. Wu Qing, Wu Qing, you have offended Yan Ge Lao, if he really wants to trouble you, it is your fault, and I will not protect you. ”…,

Wu Jie said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is just an article exchange in Shilin, Yan Ge really wants to find trouble with the ministers, you can also write a "Wu Jie joke collection", everyone will fight in the ring and try it." ”

"It's better than that, Xiao Yan didn't lose to you twice in poetry. In my opinion, whether it is poetry or jokes, this father and son are not your opponents, and there is no need to compare. What the emperor liked to see the most was that Yan Song's father and son made a fool of themselves, and they were in a good mood at once, and they didn't mention it at the moment, saying: "Wu Aiqing, you are not a cultivator, you don't need to meditate, just find a chair to sit on." ”

After saying that, the emperor returned to the futon and meditated cross-legged.

Wu Jie found a chair and talked casually with the emperor, from the weather to the price, and then to the direction of public opinion in the capital, there was almost nothing he didn't say.

Hu Yuanyu was depressed when he heard it, he didn't understand what was ridiculous about the joke Wu Jie just said, and after pondering for a long time, he didn't figure out the taste.

He wondered in his heart: Is this joke really boring? No, the emperor smiled so happily just now......

After another look, Hu Dashun, his father was also confused.

Hu Yuanyu was even more puzzled in his heart, and hurriedly went through the joke that Wu Jie just said in his heart, remembered it firmly, and after preparing to go down, he thought about it carefully, why did this story vote for the king's favor.

Hu Yuanyu wondered in his heart, but over there, his father Hu Dashun was very vigilant in his heart.

As a court Taoist who served Emperor Jiajing for more than ten or twenty years, although Hu Dashun was not favored in the past few years, he was clear about the things in Xiyuan.

The emperor's temperament is a bit casual, and it makes no sense to spoil a person. When he is good to you, he will lift you up to heaven. Once he's tired of you, you're shit.

In the past ten years, there have been many people in Xiyuan who have been favored by the emperor. For example, Tao Zhongwen, such as Lan Daoxing, such as Shao Yuanjie, and Li Chunfang and Yan Song, who are now in high positions.

Among so many people, the emperor still maintains his royal majesty when he comes into contact with them, but the gap between the monarch and the minister is there, and he will not be too close to you at all.

But the emperor and Wu Jie spoke very casually, they didn't put up any shelves at all, they didn't think about what they wanted to say, and they didn't think twice about what they said, and they weren't afraid of saying the wrong thing at all. It's not so much a monarch and a minister, but like two scholars gossiping together.

This has never been seen before.

Especially when I saw Emperor Jiajing pour a cup of hot tea and handed it to Wu Jie with a smile: "Wu Shizhen, Wu Shizhen, you are famous this time, and you actually defeated Yan Shifan twice, who in the world really doesn't know you!" Hu Dashun felt an unprecedented crisis.

Hu Dashun and his son have been working hard in Xiyuan for more than ten years, and now they have invested in Jiajing with a furnace of immortal elixir, and they have finally survived. But there is Wu Jie by the emperor's side, and in Jiajing's mind, his father and son are always in a secondary position, and they may be left out in the cold one day.

This long-lived lord likes the new the most and hates the old, and it feels novel to take the elixir of immortality these days. If you don't strike while the iron is hot, you may get bored after two days.

No, this is an opportunity that our father and son have waited for with great difficulty, and any person who stands in front of us must be kicked away.

Hu Dashun's mind turned sharply, and he raised his head, but saw his son Hu Yuanyu take half a step forward, and it was estimated that his son had the same thought.

For this son, Hu Dashun is very clear, this kid is a brainless person, and he hurriedly waved his head at him, signaling to be patient.

Then he coughed and slowly opened his mouth to interrupt the conversation between the emperor and Wu Jie: "Daojun, the auspicious time has come, and today's Luo Tian Dajiao can begin." ”

Jiajing waved his hand with a spring breeze on his face: "Forget it today, postpone it." ”

Only then did Hu Dashun confirm how important Wu Jie's position in the emperor's heart was, and a strong hostility rose in his heart. He was even more determined to interrupt the conversation between Wu Jie and Jiajing, and hurriedly took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and presented it with both hands: "Daojun, the taking of the elixir of immortality depends on the day, at this time today, it is the key to the transformation of the cathode and yang, the dragon and tiger, if you miss it, you have to wait for a month, and the practice is a major event, and it cannot be delayed." ”…,

In order to invite pets, Hu Dashun deliberately ordered a lot of fierce medicines when refining this elixir. After taking it, the reaction is so intense that they can't do anything else for at least two hours.

"Oh, I see, but I can't afford to delay." Jiajing's expression moved, he took the pill, poured out two pills casually, and handed one to Wu Jie and Huang Jin beside him.

Wu Jie and Huang Jintong's faces changed, but they had to step forward to thank them, accept it, and put it in their sleeves.

Jiajing: "Wu Aiqing, here today, I want to refine this elixir with water and fire." By the way, Xiao Yan is not dead without seeing the Yellow River, although you have won two games against him, but he may not be convinced, but I am afraid that he will come over to entangle. ”

Wu Jie was a little surprised, the labor and management even copied out Li Bai's masterpieces, and he had already died of his heart for others, did this Yan Shifan really think that he could get away with it?

He could only smile bitterly: "Long live, since the elder of the small pavilion wants to continue the competition, the minister can only accompany him to the end." However, the minister did not think that he still had such thoughts. ”

The emperor glared: "Why, you don't even believe my words?" ”

Hu Yuanyu also echoed: "Bold Wu Festival! ”

Jiajing suddenly laughed, waved his hand, and his wide sleeves swept across the floor: "I have known Yan Shifan for more than twenty years, and I know him better than you." Next, there is a comparison, I only say one sentence to you, write well, you must write an eternal quatrain like 'raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadow becomes a trio', so that he will lose all his face. ”

"Yes, I obey." Wu Jie stood up and was about to leave.

Jiajing: "Wu Jie, Huang Jin, take the elixir I have given." ”

Wu Jie shouted in his heart: Bitter!

No one knows better than him what the so-called elixir is all about.

This thing not only contains heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and silver, but also aphrodisiacs, arsenic, and other strange drugs that cannot be explained, and it is not a good thing to eat.
