Chapter 181: Possession of the Dan Eunuch (16)
The book continues above.
It is said that when Liu Zhaoxuan was hiding at home alone and borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, suddenly a middle-aged Huangmen who claimed to deliver the secret decree for Emperor Jiajing came to the door.
This is the Ming generation, and the likes of the factory guards and eunuchs are in a lot of trouble.
Although its rank is only small (from the sixth rank below), even the elder of the first grade of the dynasty is unwilling to easily provoke.
Seeing that the person who came looked like he was pointing his nostrils to the sky, Liu Zhaoxuan hurriedly cleaned up his clothes, knelt down on his knees respectfully, and received a secret decree sealed with yellow satin from the man's hand.
Then he hurriedly opened the cash cabinet in the back house, counted out the official ticket with a face value of 1,000 taels, and handed it to the middle-aged Huangmen.
Seeing that Liu Zhaoxuan knew everything very well, the middle-aged Huangmen, who accepted the bribe, nodded with satisfaction.
"Dr. Liu's move is really intentional. Anyway, for the sake of possible work together at the same level in the future, we will remind Dr. Liu of you.
Later, I will see the saint with our family, long live the lord but there is a life, Dr. Liu had better respond to it all, and your benefits are absolutely indispensable. ”
As he spoke, the middle-aged Huangmen seemed to have unintentionally glanced at Liu Zhaoxuan's lower body.
"Sometimes, if this thing is really useless, it's a burden to keep. You said yes and no, Dr. Liu? Ho ho ”
Obviously, the yin and yang eunuch in front of him meant something, but how could Liu Zhaoxuan, a flat-headed person, risk offending this eunuch and quarrel with it?
In the end, Liu Zhaoxuan could only nod with a dark face, and followed this eunuch who was neither male nor female to meet Emperor Jiajing's reply.
However, when Liu Zhaoxuan, who was kneeling on the ground, received the reward of Emperor Jiajing's 'free courtesy', he looked up at Emperor Jiajing on the dragon throne, and his heart immediately 'chuckled'.
I'll interject a little here.
The year Liu Zhaoxuan was summoned to the palace was the thirty-second year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1554).
At this time, Emperor Jiajing had already reigned for thirty-two years, and it stands to reason that he should have been a middle-aged and elderly man of forty-seven years old (Jiajing 1507-1567).
However, the man who appeared in front of Liu Zhaoxuan was not only full of black hair, but also had a red face, a loud voice, and bright eyes.
Most of the people who say that he is not yet young (30) believe him.
At this time, I saw Emperor Jiajing smile and said: "I heard that Liu Zhaoxuan is one of the top famous doctors in the capital, and even I have heard of this medical skill in the deep palace.
I don't know if Qing is willing to enter the palace to share my worries and take charge of the chores and mundane affairs of this imperial pill room? ”
As rumored to have it, this Jiajing Emperor has always been obsessed with magic pills.
But what the world doesn't know is that Emperor Jiajing's obsession with pills is enough to be called the first in the ages!
He had not been to the court for a day for twenty-seven consecutive years, and he hid in the harem every day to open a furnace for alchemy!
However, Emperor Jiajing's more bullish point is...... He actually swallowed all the pills he had refined.
He even recorded all the names and quantities of these pills in the "Inner Living Note" written and transcribed by the minister!
Twenty-seven years, less than 10,000 days apart, an average of 20 days to open a furnace of pills, and finally ate all the tens of thousands of formed pills.
This Da Luo Jin Immortal has to be mummified too!
However, Emperor Jiajing did not die of pill poisoning, but instead looked full of red light and vitality.
Even two days before his death, he also left a record of recruiting the concubine to sleep in the "Inner Living Note".
This is a sixty-year-old man!
Therefore, there has been a rumor in the market that the reason why Emperor Jiajing is obsessed with the elixir is because he accidentally got a pill that has been handed down from ancient times and records several kinds of elixirs that can be taken and then ascended to immortals!!
Anyone who is a doctor is not fascinated by rare prescriptions, and bracket pills are also prescriptions!
Therefore, when Liu Zhaoxuan heard that Emperor Jiajing actually intended to let him be in charge of the Danfang and even the legendary immortal prescription for him, he couldn't help but be a little moved.
However, at this moment, the male duck who was standing in front of the imperial book case suddenly spoke.
"Doctor Liu, there are some things that Your Majesty is inconvenient to say directly, so it's better for the old slave to open this mouth.
According to the rules given by Immortal Master Jiang, after this elixir is collected and opened, it must be handed over to His Majesty by the Furnace Supervisor Danshi within three quarters of an hour to be taken with rootless water, so as not to damage the medicinal power of the elixir.
This is not a good thing in the daytime, but if it is night, with your current identity as Doctor Liu, I am afraid that it will not be good to walk in the imperial city.
Therefore, His Majesty intends to reward Dr. Liu with the title of the head of the Liupin Dan Room, I don't know what to do? ”
As soon as he heard that Emperor Jiajing actually wanted to let himself enter the palace, Liu Zhaoxuan's head suddenly 'buzzed', and then he understood the meaning of the previous eunuch's words.
On that day, Liu Zhaoxuan wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, the herald Huangmen was able to find out from others that he was no longer able to manage the privacy of personnel, which showed that he was a factory guard inspector with authority.
He and the emperor chose themselves to be the head of the Danfang, because they took a fancy to the fact that they had fewer concerns and resistance than other doctors in terms of purification.
If he leaves now, he will offend this person heavily, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not provoke the other party to be angry, and then turn around and instruct his factory guards to assassinate him.
Just when Liu Zhaoxuan was at war with heaven and man in his heart, he suddenly heard the male duck's voice smile again.
"Doctor Liu, you don't have to worry about anything, you must know that Your Majesty is kind-hearted and will never treat those Dan masters who are roasted and tormented by the fire day and night in the alchemy room.
As long as this elixir is opened and refined, His Majesty will reward the furnace keeper with a share.
Doctor Liu, you may not know that this former head of the Danfang, Immortal Master Jiang, has already ascended to the sky! ”
Listening to the edict of Huangmen, the former head of the Danfang Immortal Master Jiang was the alchemist who presented the ancient immortal recipe to Emperor Jiajing.
And at the beginning of entering the palace, this person also brought the elixir he refined according to the immortal formula!
It's just that the medicinal power of the Chinese medicinal materials in Jiang Dan's hands is not enough, and the elixir he refined cannot help people soar to the sky, but can only save lives and restore souls.
In order to prove that what he said was true, this Jiang Danshi swallowed the elixir in his hand in front of Emperor Jiajing with a small bag of arsenic weighing four or five yuan, and within half an hour, he was bleeding black from his mouth and nose and 'died'.
At that time, Emperor Jiajing also specially summoned the imperial doctor to come and diagnose Jiang Danshi.
Whether it was the gold needle pricking or the fluff in the nose, there was no reaction at all, indicating that this person was 'dead'.
If he hadn't seen Jiang Danshi swallow a whole bag of arsenic with great confidence, and boasted that he would come back from the dead the next day, Emperor Jiajing would have asked this Danshi's body to be thrown out of the door as garbage.
In the end, Emperor Jiajing arranged for two Yellow Gates to carry Jiang Danshi's body to a secluded storehouse, and then drove back to the palace to find the concubines Gao Le.
However, the next day, when it was dawn, a small yellow gate came to tell Emperor Jiajing in a panic, saying that Jiang Danshi, who had died of poison last night, was kneeling respectfully outside the palace at this moment!
