Three Wonders of Huashan

Chapter 168 Xingjun Reincarnation, Assistant Prime Minister Liangchen

Jin Que Yuyu, magnificent atmosphere.Fang Ze had visited the Forbidden City of later generations, but this direct visit to the original appearance of the Forbidden City hundreds of years ago still gave him a different feeling.The leading eunuch in the front was always paying attention to Fang Ze's every move, as if he wanted to see emotions such as awe, fear, and shock from his actions, so that he could despise the phrase "earth leopard" in his heart.

But Fang Ze was destined to disappoint him. Although Fang Ze was also watching from left to right, he was more interested in visiting historical sites.As if someone who has seen the world, he said "not bad" lightly when he saw the magnificent imperial city, which made the leading eunuch's sense of superiority disappear.

The two walked through corridors and transferred ownership along the way. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Fang Ze looked up and saw a building in front of him. It was not like a palace, but more like a Taoist temple.Fang Ze squinted his eyes and looked at the words "Yuxi Palace" on the plaque, and knew where he was.

The eunuch leading the way bowed and retreated, and another eunuch sang at the door: "Tongxuan Xianyou, Taigu, see you!" There was a chime sound from inside the "ding", and then a voice replied: "Xuan!"

Waiting for the eunuch at the door to open the door, Fang Ze walked in with his head held high, and he saw an antique incense burner, bypassing the incense burner, and looking up, he saw a middle-aged man dressed in Taoism sitting cross-legged in front of him. He had a black beard, a ruddy complexion, and held a chime-beating clapper in his hand.Fang Ze was looking at him, and he was also looking at Fang Ze.

Fang Ze knew that the one in front of him was the true master.It is recorded in later generations that he did not go to court for 40 years, but he was able to control a group of ministers freely, which shows that he is an extremely smart master.

Fang Ze didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly performed a Taoist test, saying "See Your Majesty".

Jiajing frowned, waved his hand and said, "I know you are not a Taoist priest, but I didn't know that you came to see me, and even a Taoist Jishou didn't practice it." He knocked the chime again with a wooden stick, and said loudly: "Li Fang, give Zhenjun a seat!"

Li Fang stooped and moved a futon. After Fang Zexie sat down, he sat cross-legged generously, eye to eye with Emperor Jiajing, and the scene was a bit cold for a while.

Fang Ze looked directly at Jiajing, and asked, "What is your Majesty Xuan Caomin's intention here?"

Jiajing was taken aback, but he didn't expect Fang Ze to speak so impolitely.He said coldly at the moment: "The real king violated the laws of the country, and he should have been punished by judges, but someone told me that if he didn't send tens of thousands of troops, he might not be able to take you down. I just want to see who the real king is, Is it really impossible to have three heads and six arms?"

Fang Ze chuckled and said, "Your Majesty sees it now, the grass people only have one head and one pair of arms."

Jiajing curled his lips and said, "It's really nothing special!"

Fang Ze cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is absurd."

Jiajing felt that this conversation was a bit difficult to carry on. Why couldn't this Fang Ze not understand what he was talking about? Is "average" a compliment?

Fang Ze thought to himself, "Gu Tianle is plain and ordinary, I understand this stalk."

Emperor Jiajing snorted coldly, and said again: "The Yellow River Gang killed more than two hundred people, and Qingcheng faction Yu Canghai, Lingnan Shuangsha, He Da, Zuo Lengchan, and Xichang were all killed by Zhenjun hand?"

Fang Ze solemnly cupped his hands and said: "Removing harm for the people is what the chivalrous people of my generation should do. Your Majesty don't need to take it too seriously. If your majesty insists on rewarding, it is not impossible to reward several million taels of silver. ..."

Jiajing roared loudly: "I won't give you a single coin, and I've lost money even when I built the palace..." Just after the roar was over, Emperor Jiajing probably realized that he was a bit out of character, so he sat upright and continued: " If they are guilty, there will be official laws, so where is your turn to abuse lynching?"

"Your Majesty, the official law can really rule them?" Fang Ze asked back.

"Ding ding ding" Jiajing knocked on the jade chime several times in a row, causing Li Fang and other eunuchs to come over and wait for his order.Jiajing waved his hand a little irritably, dismissed them, and said: "Mr. Zun Shiyue is 61 years old this year, but he looks the same age as me. I also heard that Wudang Qingxu Yuanmiao Zhenjun lived for 210 seven years. , I want to ask you, is there really a way of immortality in the world?"

Fang Ze knew that the Zhenjun Qingxu Yuanmiao that Jiajing mentioned was the Daoist name that he canonized Zhang Sanfeng himself, but when he saw that he also mentioned Yue Buqun, he couldn't help being surprised, and asked, "Your Majesty has seen the teacher?"

Jiajing was a little eager, and said: "Mr. Yue passed on some guidance techniques to me. I practiced them for two months, and they are even more effective than Zhang Tianshi's elixir. Mr. Yue also said that your ability is ten times stronger than his. If I want to live longer It is still necessary to issue an order to announce that you will pass it on to me."

Fang Ze suddenly realized that this is how he, the Primordial Master Xuan Xianyou, came from.He originally thought that the emperor had heard some astrological theory, and after announcing him to come to Beijing, he would lead to some real dragon emperors, left assistants and right officials, so that he could catch them all at once.

He considered his words and said slowly: "There is no way for grass people to live forever. It is barely feasible to prolong life. As long as your majesty abstains from sex, he will not take golden pills in the future, and practice the technique of guidance diligently, so as to prolong his life for a few years." It shouldn't be difficult."

Jiajing was greatly disappointed when he heard the words, and still asked without giving up: "Is there really no way to prolong life for dozens of years?"

Fang Ze shook his head and said, "The poison of your majesty's golden elixir has not yet penetrated into the bone marrow, and if you stop it now, you can live a life of ordinary people... If you don't make a decisive decision, the grassroots assert that your majesty will not live until sixty..." Fang Ze's words are not just talking, Jiajing He was enthroned at the age of 15 and has been in power for 45 years, but he has not lived to be 60 years old.

Jiajing shouted and stood up, "Bold!"

A person flashed out from behind the curtain, staring at Fang Ze with an immortal demeanor, the hostility in his eyes was undisguised.The gate of the palace was wide open, and a row of people came in with their swords held high, all staring at Fang Ze covetously.

Jiajing waved his hand to repel the left and right, and then said to the person who came out from behind the curtain: "Master, this person said that the elixir you made is poisonous and cannot be taken, do you have any excuses?"

That person was Zhang Baling, the celestial master of Longhu Mountain. He squinted at Fang Ze, and said contemptuously, "What kind of golden elixir does Huangkouzi know? His majesty has personally verified the magical effect of the elixir. Besides, I also take the golden elixir with Your Majesty at the same time, if the golden elixir is poisonous, how can I put myself in danger?"

Fang Ze chuckled, and retorted: "Among the 21 emperors of the Tang Dynasty, at least five died of poisoning due to taking elixirs. They were Taizong, Xianzong, Muzong, Wuzong and Xuanzong. The national teacher tried the poison with his own body. This kind of spirit is really worthy of admiration! Your Majesty! The way of elixir is just to overdraw the potential of life. If you eat enough food, you will not live forever if you take it for a long time! Caomin, please punish this lucky minister as a warning to the latecomers!"

Jiajing looked at Zhang Baling with deep meaning in his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhang Baling prostrated himself on the ground to plead guilty to Jiajing, saying: "The method of this golden elixir is a secret technique handed down by my family, and the reason why I offer it to your majesty is all because of my loyalty to the emperor and patriotism! This thief is because of the astrology You deliberately framed me, Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"

Jiajing's complexion was cloudy and uncertain, and he swept across the faces of the two of them.Originally, he didn't take Fang Ze's words seriously, but seeing Zhang Baling prostrate on the ground and fighting with each other, and Fang Ze's expression was calm, he became a little suspicious.

Jiajing said indifferently: "National teacher, get up and talk. Now the real king is in front of you, you and I have a closer look, which star king is he reincarnated, and which real dragon is going to assist me to seize my world?" ?” He flicked the sleeves of his robe after speaking, and sat cross-legged on the futon again.

Hearing Jiajing's tone, Zhang Baling knew that Jiajing had become suspicious of Fang Ze because of his words.At that moment, his heart sank, sweat dripped down his face, and he turned his head to look at Fang Ze with hatred in his eyes.Fang Ze smiled and raised his head to meet his gaze.

Zhang Baling looked around Fang Ze carefully for a while, his fingers kept counting, but his expression became more and more solemn.

Seeing him like this, Fang Ze couldn't help curling his lips, thinking: "This bull-nosed man can put on airs, no wonder he can fool Jiajing into everything."

Suddenly Zhang Baling yelled "Ah", spewed a mouthful of blood and fell on his back, unconscious.Jiajing closed his eyes and meditated, but now he became hasty, he hurriedly knocked the jade chime to make a "ding-ding" sound, and said, "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor..." After a while of panic, Jiajing calmed down, even with The look at Fang Ze also became strange.

Fang Ze was furious in his heart, but he couldn't let it go. He secretly said bitterly: "This guy is so good at playing, so I can't blame you." He stood up, cupped his hands at Jiajing, and asked: "Your Majesty Can the grassroots have a look at the situation of the national teacher?"

Jiajing thought for a moment, then nodded.

Fang Ze stretched out three fingers and placed Zhang Baling on the pulse gate. Seeing that his Qi and blood were weak, he couldn't help being a little surprised, "Isn't this guy just pretending?"

He didn't dare to be negligent at the moment, straightened Zhang Baling's body, and a stream of pure internal energy was injected into his body, nourishing his tendons.

Before the imperial physician came, Zhang Baling had already woken up.

Jiajing's eyes were like lightning, he stared at Zhang Baling, and asked in a deep voice, "What did you see?"

Zhang Baling prostrated himself on the ground, turned his head to look at Fang Ze, with complicated eyes, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Zhenjun must be the reincarnation of Xingjun, and there is no doubt that he came to assist His Majesty. Daming has Xingjun to assist Mingjun. It is not easy to be able to conquer the world. However, the poor Taoist practiced the day and pretended to spy on the secrets of the sky. At this moment, he suffered a backlash. I am afraid that he will lose decades of life... But he can find good ministers and generals to assist His Majesty, even though the humble minister is dead No regrets!"

What he said was so decisive that both Jiajing and Fang Ze were dumbfounded.

Emperor Jiajing was deeply scheming. Although he was a devout Taoist, he didn't dare to believe these words. He just asked indifferently, "Why do you know that?"

"Please look, Your Majesty!" Zhang Baling suddenly became energetic, pointing to Fang Ze and said: "The real monarch has tiger eyes and phoenix eyes, and is full of energy. This is one; the angle of the sun and the moon is raised, implying that one person is destined to be alone in the future." There are more than [-] people, this is two things; the fields and palaces are full, destined to be rich and powerful, and there are many wives and concubines...all these are in the style of ministers who assist the prime minister... dare to ask the real king's birth date?"

Zhang Baling's words stunned the two of them, but Fang Ze really didn't know the birth date of this body, so he put together the year of this life plus the month, day, and hour of the previous life and reported it together. come out.

Zhang Ba Lingyun pointed his fingers like flying, muttering words in his mouth, suddenly laughed out loud and said: "Your Majesty, there is no mistake in this matter."

Emperor Jiajing was still dubious, and asked, "What does the national teacher say?"

Zhang Baling returned to his former style, twirled his long beard, and said slowly: "Your Majesty only needs to send someone to check the horoscope of Duke Wei's birthday when our dynasty was founded."

Emperor Jiajing's heart was also a little hot at the moment. If it was confirmed that Fang Ze was the reincarnation of Duke Wei, then the rumors about his vassal king's succession to the Datong and his improper position would be self-defeating.As soon as he knocked on the jade chime, Li Fang walked in with a bowed body. "You go and look it up, Wei Guogong's birth date when the country was founded."

Li Fang glanced at Fang Ze carefully, then backed away.

Fang Ze was a little confused, and thought to himself: "Where did this come from? What kind of assistant is a good minister? How can you be happy as a co-lord of the rivers and lakes. But if the birthday horoscope I randomly put together coincides with Xu Da, then that's okay." What a coincidence."
