Liao Zhai Zi is silent

Chapter 241 Nine Dragon Instrument

At this time, the celestial phenomena were clearly visible, and Emperor Qian Yong was in the deep palace.

At this time, after approving the memorial, he was breathing out, using the six-character formula.

After breathing out, he tapped his teeth a few more times and swallowed the body fluid.

The eunuch next to him handed over a jade cup, which had the luster of suet and contained a light yellow liquid.

"Your Majesty, today's cup is a woman's colostrum, which has been chilled with ice to remove the milk poison."

Emperor Qian Yong was not wearing court clothes at this time, but was wearing ordinary clothes. He drank the women's milk, frowned slightly and said, "It's a bit fishy, ​​and it needs to be mixed with honey."

"Didn't Your Majesty always say that you must stick to your innate energy and not make the acquired air dirty?" The eunuch answered well, and he seemed to be familiar with Taoism.

Emperor Qian Yong has been in power for 50 years. Many emperors may not live to be 50 years old, but they are still very energetic now. Their faces do not look like old people, but only look like those in their 40s.

"How's the drought in the south recently? I heard what they reported and said that many people have died."

"The slaves don't know either, but He Zhongtang said that the matter is already being dealt with."

"He does things, but he's okay." Emperor Qian Yong stretched his hands, and after doing the movements of Wu Qin Xi, he began to practice Tantra yoga.

It seems that the martial arts attainments are not low.

"Auspicious signs have been reported from all over the world, and I heard that there is a dragon in Nanjing."

Emperor Qian Yong thought about it for a while: "But when I went to the south of the Yangtze River, the Fengshui of the copper well mentioned can be a dragon in the copper well of the herding dragon?"

"Exactly, I heard that he has become Jiangning Dragon Lord now."

Emperor Qian Yong bowed his hand: "Find a time to ask the people of Qin Tianjian to take a look. Those who are obedient will stay, and those who are disobedient will be beheaded. Recently, all kinds of dragons and snakes have appeared. Although I don't accept my old age, I am indeed old. , otherwise these things would not have happened.”

"Your Majesty's dragon body is healthy, and it will live forever!"

"Other people call me long live, can I really live ten thousand years?"

"Your Majesty!" the eunuch flattered: "The country of Daman will last forever, and His Majesty will make great efforts to govern it, and it will surely continue for generations to come."

Emperor Qian Yong was about to speak when a few drops of blood flowed from his left nose.

When I touched it with my hand, I saw a bright red.

"This anger is getting heavier."

"Prince doctor, call the doctor quickly!" The eunuch panicked.

Emperor Qian Yong waved his hand: "I know my body."

"Now that July is raging, the heat has not subsided. I should have gone to the Old Summer Palace to escape the heat. Your Majesty is busy with government affairs..."

"I'm not here, who will oversee the country?" Emperor Qian Yong said coldly, "I'm afraid they will turn the world upside down."

The eunuch did not dare to answer this question.

And soon, a fat lama in strange clothes was led in by the guards.

This is the Mongolian Living Buddha Zhangjia Agawang Luobu Sangchalatan. He looked flustered and did not kneel down when he saw Emperor Qian Yong.

He just bowed slightly, and finally said in Manchu: "Your Majesty, it's bad, Jiulongyi's luck has dropped by half!"

The Jiulong instrument is an artifact similar to a seismograph. It was designed by a master of magic and can be used to measure dragon energy.

There is a mercury column in the middle, which represents the national destiny of the dynasty. There are nine dragon heads around it, each spit out beads, and the beads face nine directions.

When Wang Guangyun rebelled, the Jiulong instrument did not jump because it was not a king.

But just after Lin Zhuming entered Beijing, the Jiulong instrument even jumped the number of beads, both in the south and northwest.

And the mercury column in the middle, which represents the scale of the Qing Dynasty, also dropped again and again.

"What's going on here?" Emperor Qian Yong was no longer as calm as before, and asked quickly.

"I'm afraid that something big will happen, and this instrument will have this omen."

Emperor Qian Yong pondered for a moment: "What could be calculated?"

"The secrets of heaven are ignorant, like ten thousand tulle gauzes. When one is opened, there will be another one." Mongolian Living Buddha said, "Perhaps Ziwei Doushu near the Tianshi Daolou can divination one or two."

"Then pass it on to him." Emperor Qian Yong went to the palace where the Jiulongyi was placed in person, and saw that the mercury column in the center fell back a lot.

The little eunuch who was in charge of taking care of the sacrifice knelt on the ground, not daring to move.

Emperor Qian Yong looked at Jiulongyi and said nothing for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

But after entering the hall near the building and kowtowed to Emperor Qian Yong, Emperor Qian Yong said: "Aiqing, you may figure out what's going on?"

"Your Majesty, this is a situation where catastrophe is approaching." Lou Jinheng said, "It's not that the state system is in the way."

"When the country was first established, it was said that the country would be unified for 300 years. How many years has it been?" Emperor Qian Yong said, "What catastrophe is there?"

"This catastrophe doesn't start from within, but from outside." Lou Jinheng said: "The previous dynasty was trying to make the country permanent and cut off all the dragon veins in the Central Plains. Therefore, the earth's energy was transferred and fled to the outside of the pass to nourish the black dragon."

"It's the same problem today."

"Hehe, outside the pass is the place where dragons prosper in the Manchu Dynasty. Could it be that there are pseudo-dragons?"

"Your Majesty, you should know that there are other lands besides the oceans. Back then, the Qin Tianjian had foreigners as officials, and there were also foreign Catholics. When Zheng He went to the West, he brought back a unicorn..."

"My land in the Central Plains used to be the center of the world, but now it's not..." Lou Jinheng boldly said.

Emperor Qian Yong calmly said: "You mean, my enemy is not here, but overseas?"

Lou Jinheng nodded: "I have read a Western novel called Marco Polo's Travels. He described my land in the Central Plains as a place full of gold and treasures. In recent years, many missionaries have come from overseas. Fujian, Guangdong, and coastal areas have built churches, and those missionaries have also faintly revealed that their covetousness towards our dynasty is indeed a wolfish ambition."

Emperor Qian Yong said coldly: "Indeed, there have been papers coming up recently, asking me to take care of the affairs of foreigners."

"Not only foreigners, but also Fushou ointment." Lou Jinheng said: "In recent years, more and more people smoke opium. Your Majesty should strictly prohibit it. This thing can nourish the spirit, but it contains evil poison. The medicine used to treat epilepsy and ghost syndrome has now become a recreational and happy thing, and it has been flooded..."

Emperor Qian Yong said coldly: "Then declare a sea ban."

Manchao Haiban has been banned since the time of Emperor Shunzi. At the beginning, it was to prevent overseas forces such as Zheng Chenggong from gaining power.

Later, many people fled, went to Nanyang to work in the sea, and even participated in the founding of the country overseas, so they called their friends and friends, and many people escaped.

After Kangma opened the sea, the prosperity of sea trade once surpassed that of the previous dynasty.

Waiting for the establishment of the thirteen provinces of Guangdong and the distribution of maritime trade signs added a lot of money. However, the Manchu government did not communicate with overseas countries for scientific production and advanced technology.

I just don't want to think that at this time, Emperor Qian Yong was afraid that the overseas dragon spirit would take advantage of the offense, and once again issued an order to ban the sea. By mistake, he conformed to history.
