Chapter 424: Jiajing's troubles
Be cautious, sandalwood curling.
Emperor Jiajing wore a flower crown on his head, a Taoist robe, and bast shoes on his feet.
Since killing Li Yu, this Taoist emperor has returned to his original life of metaphysical cultivation.
Today, however, he no longer recites the texts of the Scriptures.
At the foot of the stairs kneeled a sturdy man, dressed in splendid clothes, with a calm breath and restrained spiritual power, and his cultivation was unfathomable.
He is none other than Lu Bing, the governor of Jinyiwei.
"No need to look any further."
"My brother has spent nine years traveling the world, but he still can't find the treasure of Nuwa."
"This is a hint from God, if I lose my morality, I will lose at the hands of that woman Yaoguang sooner or later."
"It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty will be lost in my hands."
After Emperor Jiajing finished speaking, the eunuchs, palace maids, and guards all knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling like chaff, and their faces were full of fear.
Lu Bing was still kneeling and buried his head lower, as if confessing his sin.
"Your Majesty, you can't say anything like that."
Lu Fang, the eunuch in charge of the inner court, knelt down in front of Emperor Jiajing with a 'poof'.
The old eunuch burst into tears.
"Your Majesty, you are the first person in the world, and you are the strongest Mahayana Realm Nine Ranks."
"With you sitting in the court, which thief dares to peep at Daming?"
"It's just that the ministers and minions are not doing well, which makes Your Majesty unhappy, so I just said a few angry words, and I can't take it seriously."
Emperor Jiajing smiled when he heard this.
The smile is far-fetched, and the eyes are even more impatient.
This strong lord who sits firmly on the throne of the first person in the world is really rare to lose his temper.
He stood up from the futon, looked around the people in the house, and finally landed on Lu Bing.
lasted nine years, but Lu Bingfeng returned empty-handed, which was the root cause of Emperor Jiajing's gaffe.
Hope, dashed.
"Disadvantageous?"
"I believe that my brother has done his best, and everything is my fate."
After speaking, Emperor Jiajing brushed his sleeves away.
The old eunuch Lu Fang hurriedly got up to chase after him, but he was stopped by Emperor Jiajing as soon as he chased two steps.
"No one has to come along!"
"I'm just going to Concubine Rou to relax."
Emperor Jiajing is gone.
Inside the house, Lu Bing finally got up slowly.
Lu Fang looked at him and saw that the latter's eyes were bloodshot.
"The Governor has worked hard." Lu Fang said softly.
A sentence of hard work, but I don't know whether it is today, or the past nine years, or how many years of being a minister.
Lu Bing shook his head, his answer equally vague.
"As a minister, how can you talk about hard work?"
"It's just that Lu has been searching the world for nine years, and there has been no news of [Xiyang]."
"Lu suspects that there is no interest today."
……
…………
Zhongcui Palace.
The sound of the piano is like water, refreshing.
After the song was played, Xue Susu looked at Emperor Jiajing, and the man leaned on the pillow cushion and closed his eyes and concentrated.
The sword-like eyebrows were tightly locked, as if they were troubled.
But after listening to the song, the brows were slightly soothed.
Xue Sulian's steps were so light that she barely made a sound, she slowly came to Emperor Jiajing's side, and listened to his breathing evenly and long, as if she was asleep to the sound of the piano.
She walked around behind the man and held out her hands.
Fingertips, aimed at the temples on the left and right sides of Emperor Jiajing.
Xue Susu's movements were very light and slow, his fingertips kept getting closer, and finally reached his temples!
"Huh?"
Emperor Jiajing woke up.
The constant feeling of comfortable kneading in his temples made his brows completely relaxed.
"The jade hands of Aifei, whether it is piano or massage, are the best in the world." Emperor Jiajing said with a smile.
Xue Susu lowered his head when he heard this, and a trace of crimson appeared on his cheeks.
She came to Emperor Jiajing in a half-circle, and was pulled by the man, and fell into his arms.
"I've been to Zhongcui Palace less often, and every time I come here, it's because I'm in a depressed mood, so Concubine Ai won't blame me, right?" Emperor Jiajing asked.
Xue Susu shook her head, her beautiful eyes full of tenderness and concern.
"If the concubine can relieve His Majesty's troubles, it is worth dying."
"Hahahaha!"
Emperor Jiajing laughed loudly and hugged the woman in his arms tighter.
But he laughed for a while, then asked in confusion.
"The piano music that Concubine Ai played for me just now has a Western Sanskrit charm, could it be that I heard it wrong?"
At this time, there were not only two people in the temple.
In addition to Emperor Jiajing and Xue Susu, Ah Chang also stood a few feet away.
Ah Chang looked at the two of them, his gaze calm but focused, like an arrow that would never miss.
"Yes." Xue Susu nodded in acknowledgement. "The title of this song is "Yunshui Zen Heart", and it has always had the effect of calming the mind and concentrating. The concubine looked at His Majesty and seemed to be in a depressed mood, and wanted to use this song to relieve His Majesty's worries."
"Oh?" Emperor Jiajing accepted this explanation, but said disdainfully: "I am the son of heaven, how can the troubles of the son of heaven be solved by qin music? Not to mention the mere Sanskrit sounds, which outline false fantasies and bubble bliss, are not worth mentioning."
Hearing Emperor Jiajing belittle him like this, Xue Susu's smile suddenly stiffened on his face, and Ah Chang's gaze not far away became a little sharper.
"Since Your Majesty doesn't like it...... The concubines no longer play Sanskrit music anymore."
Xue Susu's voice was a little depressed, but Emperor Jiajing ignored it.
"Since ancient times, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, Confucianism has been poor in the scriptures, and they have learned a full stomach of economy, but in the end they are only used by me, such as Yan Song and Xu Jie."
"The interpreter is the best at empty talk, and often demagogues people with great aspirations, such as the so-called Elysium, which was built in the infinitely distant future, but promised the people of the present and this world. It is also like the Sanskrit Pure Land, which promised to shelter the suffering women of the world, but it turned out to be abducting the population and opening a country called 'mercy'."
Emperor Jiajing stood up and strode to the gate of the palace.
He opened his arms to the sky, as if to embrace the whole sky.
"I am the only cultivator."
"Participate in the splendor of the sky, and show the diligence of the wonderful way."
"Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law of the Tao, and the Tao is the law of nature!"
"There is no supreme quality among the three religions, and the only way in ancient times is the only one!"
Emperor Jiajing's voice was very loud, and it immediately echoed over the entire palace.
He turned his back to the second daughter, not defending at all, not thinking that the person behind him might make any moves.
Ah Chang looked at Xue Susu with an inquiring gaze, but the latter shook his head firmly.
"Haha."
After venting, Emperor Jiajing seemed to be in a better mood.
He turned back to Xue Susu and grabbed the woman's weak and boneless little hand.
"I'm bored for a while, and you don't have to take it to heart if you talk nonsense."
"Aifei, I ask you, if you are in a depressed mood, how will you solve it?"
Xue Susu was slightly stunned, as if he was very surprised that Emperor Jiajing had this question.
Her performance is also in line with the reaction of ordinary concubines.
The direction that Emperor Jiajing was facing away from was Ah Chang.
Xue Susu felt Ah Chang's gaze, urging, and even questioning.
After a moment of silence, she finally lifted her lips.
"When the concubine is upset, she loves to travel far away."
"Find some places where the concubines have never been, the farther away the better, that feels the freshest."
The urging gaze was gone.
It just so happened that Emperor Jiajing glanced back, and the palace maid Ah Chang, like the furnishings in the palace, was like a dead thing without self-consciousness, inconspicuous.
"Okay."
Emperor Jiajing nodded.
"If I find a suitable place, I will go out for a walk like a concubine."
"Concubine, I am willing to marry me
Companions?"
