Chapter 462 The Emperor of Heaven travels to the immortal world
  The three mountains on the sea are surrounded by green servant girls, and the heavenly palace is far away in the blue clouds. It has been said in ancient times that Qiongtai is very different. Would you rather know about Yu Yuhan's personnel?

The setting sun is full of hibiscus smoke, and the autumn wind is full of dew from the osmanthus trees. Shengyou was so lonely in the previous dynasty, who saw the flute playing the flute and the colorful luan?

This poem was written by Taihe Bo Wen Zhengming, the father of Concubine Shu, who is still the dean of Huangming University. The name of the poem is "Qionghua Island", which is about the island in the North Sea between the Forbidden City and Huangming University. .

This large area of ​​water is called Taiye Pool, which consists of three parts: the North Sea, the Central Sea, and the South China Sea.

Qionghua Island is the pearl on Taiye Lake. It was named after the Jin Dynasty and was their "Longevity Mountain" in the Yuan Dynasty. The pavilions and pavilions on the island are scattered in various heights, distributed according to the mountain topography, and are hidden among the green pines and cypresses.

At this moment, there are no white pagodas and Buddhist temples on Qionghua Island that were later built by the Manchu and Qing monarchs.

During the re-planning of the imperial city a few years ago, many courtyards were built on the island, forming a Taoist temple.

While Tao Zhongwen went to "work" at the Polytechnic Institute, his contribution was officially recognized as the "Real Person of Shenxiao's Protector of the Country", and he had a special "Taoist Temple" located here.

The name of the temple is strange, it is called Wanhua.

Qionghua originally means the flower of the Qiong tree, which is a sacred tree on Penglai Island. It is said that people can live forever if they eat it.

The architectural layout built in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties is somewhat imitating the fairyland of Yaochi.

There is also a Wanhua Temple on the island, and Tao Zhenren has been favored for many years.

After the emperor became interested in fairy tales, the down-and-out scholar Wu Chengen moved into Qionghua Island.

On the eve of the wedding ceremony, the royal chariot arrived here again.

In addition to Tao Zhongwen and Wu Chengen, King Rui and several academicians of the Academy of Sciences, doctors from the Polytechnic Institute and professors from Huangming University were also summoned here.

Later, the emperor gradually learned what kind of topic the emperor had enthusiastically raised at the tea gatherings that started from this time and were held several times later.

It's called "Imagination Meeting on Immortal Magical Artifacts".

This makes people sweat, and the name just doesn't feel right.

Yang Shenming knew that he was a little sensitive now, but his sense of responsibility still drove him to go to Zhu Houcong to admonish him: The Great Harmony Party in the world has been established, and state affairs are complicated. Why does your majesty ask ghosts and gods?
  Zhu Houcong's reaction was: Ah, yes, yes, I know.

Then he continued to organize the second time.

The person involved, Wu Chengen, was very confused.

In fact, the content of the discussion between the emperor and everyone at the meeting was quite serious, although he was still very trusting.

But Tao Zhenren is obviously not just a Taoist priest. There are various ingenious tools in Wanhua Temple. According to Tao Zhenren, this is a large laboratory.

The reason why it is still called Taoist Temple is also the reason for Tao Zhenren's identity. He still doesn't know how future generations will view him as a "real person". But when I was still alive, I felt very happy because I became a well-known figure in the Taoist sect.

The emperor also fulfilled his small wish and asked him to continue working hard and bring apprentices from both Taoism and Huangming University.

When his discoveries become more systematic, he can start a sect and create a discipline called "chemistry" starting from the word Wanhua.

The emperor gave Wu Chengen the task: to write another masterpiece and write a prosperous fairy-like future, where everyone lives like a fairy.

And this meeting seemed to be specially held for him.

Wu Chengen felt that it was not just that, the emperor seemed to be inspiring other academicians, doctors and professors.

"I think this magical magic of the Immortal Family is just a mortal's whimsical imagination, hoping to see how powerful he can be." At this second meeting, Zhu Houcong entered the state and talked eloquently, "For example, Feitian is not without people. Try. When Taizu was here, Tao Chengdao led a group of disciples to offer fire artifacts and was granted the title of Ten Thousand Households. He later thought about flying to the sky with kites and rockets. Although he unfortunately died, I think he was on the right path. "

"Now I have long understood that water has buoyancy, and air also has buoyancy. These forces all interact with each other. As long as you understand the principle of birds flying in the sky, and why the wings can fly in the wind, it is possible that human power cannot fly in the sky..."

Of course, airplanes cannot be made now, but the emperor is interested in telling the general principles of many things through his imagination about the future of physics, which can inspire them to research in certain directions.

If Zhu Houcong wanted Wu Chengen's future novels to withstand scrutiny, he would direct his interest in gods and ghosts to this form of "immortal magic weapon".

Kill two birds with one stone.

Wu Chengen was led by the emperor to constantly open up his mind and accept the spirit.

Don't tell me, some things sound like that.

And the first generation of academicians, Ph.D.s, and professors who already had some initial scientific interests were teased to no end.

"Your Majesty, can a mortal master the power of thunder and lightning?"

Zhu Houcong replied with great enthusiasm: "I think there is nothing impossible. Didn't you see that there are lightning-drawing pillars built in the Forbidden City? The thunder and lightning will be attracted by the fine iron, and will not cause trouble to the earth. It should make sense. I said that I have a thorough understanding. Is it a lie to say that the Dao of Physics is close to the Dao of Heaven? After getting the microscope, Tao Zhenren studied various substances carefully and saw many things that he could not understand before. "

Tao Zhongwen nodded: "There are indeed endless mysteries. Now, King Rui and I can already see extremely small things that are invisible with just two eyes. It really feels like what the Buddhists say is like a sand and a world..."

The Taoist master suddenly said the words in "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra", but what he wanted to prove was the physical path mentioned by His Majesty. This scene made people feel quite strange.

Prince Rui said: "If you look at it with a microscope, you will see how many tiny bacteria and worms there are in the world. They cannot be distinguished by the naked eye, but with a microscope you can see everything at a glance. It is indeed worthy of the name of the magical artifact that your majesty said. Today I brought a new one Come with the polished microscope, it will open your eyes!"

Seeing is believing. Seeing large plant cells and large bacteria can be quite shocking.

King Rui's point of view is: "Now, according to your Majesty's decree, I am afraid that I can only study medicine first. Your Majesty decreed that some of these bacteria and worms are pathogenic and some are beneficial. If these reasons can be studied clearly, then You can take a big step forward in the medical field. If you can reach the end of the medical path, you will have no regrets, and you will live forever. What is it if it is not a fairy? If you can understand the secrets of thunder and lightning and use them for your own use, what is it but a fairy? What is the Dharma? Your Majesty’s holy knowledge, there are many other subjects that require special study.”

"That's right!" Zhu Houcong nodded expectantly, "Although I have understood some great principles, the road still needs to be walked step by step. The most important thing now is to lay a good foundation for each subject and standardize it. The imperial court The new measurement standards are also formulated to make research in many disciplines more standardized and convenient."

More people had just seen the horrifying sight through the microscope, and when they looked at the emperor, they felt like looking at a god.

After comprehending some great principles and making arrangements after handling state affairs, Tao Zhenren and Prince Rui were able to get a glimpse of such a secret.

What kind of talent is this?

Zhu Houcong looked at them and said with sharp eyes: "In the past twenty-one years, the courtiers have grown from being worried to now trusting me more and more. This has proved that many of the principles I have learned are correct. To be precise, I may I have traveled through the prosperous fairy world in Xuanxuan and seen many magical artifacts!"

The words were so shocking that Zhu Houcong didn't bother to care about what legend would be left behind.

Anyway, there are many stories of encounters with immortals in legends, and now he is just using this method to strengthen the confidence of these people.

superstitious? To be honest, it was a mystery why Zhu Houcong came here. Maybe in the future, some reasonable scientific explanation can finally be developed?
  Wu Chengen opened his eyes wide: So His Majesty is interested in things involving gods because he has experienced them?

"Just like a dream..."

Zhu Houcong simply found a cover and began to describe what a world where science was prosperous looked like.

High-rise buildings touching the sky, giant flying steel birds, colorful electric lights and appliances that are self-illuminating without fire, small artifacts that are thousands of miles apart but can see each other instantly. In the fields, fertilizers are continuously produced from factories, allowing all kinds of new crops to thrive.

Listening and listening, these Ming Dynasty's best "scientists" gradually became stunned.

In this way, the original accounting method, the later Jinke Fertilizer Plant, the steam engine, the microscope... many of His Majesty's actions found their source.

This does not detract from his miraculous powers, but rather confirms the speculation of gods and men, because many things have indeed appeared in the Ming Dynasty and are bringing about changes.

"I am now more and more convinced that the prosperous fairy world I saw in my dream can come true! As long as we can continue to study in various subjects, it will be sooner or later that everyone will be fed, warm and live like a fairy. It's a matter of fact. Since I have this opportunity, you must help me to open this glorious road!"

Tao Zhongwen looked at the emperor with envy. No matter what happens now, he is still a Taoist priest after all, and he once hoped to succeed in refining alchemy and ascend to heaven.

But Your Majesty actually had such a fate!

For a moment, everyone was like extremely devout believers, kneeling on the ground and praising: "Your Majesty, the divine monarch of destiny, I am truly lucky to have such an opportunity to study the Tao!"

Qionghua Island is strangely like a missionary meeting, filled with a religious atmosphere of fanaticism.

It's just that this new "religion" has become what His Majesty calls science.

Later, the rumor that His Majesty once had a connection with immortals and traveled to the immortal world gradually spread.

Twenty-one years after the emperor ascended the throne, the saying that he was a divine king and a god came to the world became popular among the people.

The changes that had taken place in the Ming Dynasty also made many people have to be skeptical, and it was difficult to firmly question that some of the emperor's decisions were wrong.

On the day of the wedding ceremony, the ministers of state were also watching the ceremony.

Yang Shen was about to preside over the ceremony. Yan Song and others looked at the festive Meridian Gate and couldn't help but glance at each other.

No matter who is stirring up trouble and discussing how long the emperor can remain in power, they still want to create a little uncertainty. Now, although the emperor's concern about "immortals" is not for immortality, it makes his subjects feel that he is really a lord sent from heaven, only to recreate the Ming Dynasty.

Twenty-one years have passed, and Ming Dynasty is no longer a Ming Dynasty that suffers from troubles and troubles, and it is no longer a Ming Dynasty that is troubled by financial difficulties.

He proved his wisdom with his achievements. Now, the emperor who created new knowledge has also put on the more convincing cloak of "the divine king descends from heaven." Can some people with ulterior motives really achieve anything by relying on those small means?

Even for the entire group of old gentry who feel that their advantages have been weakened after the implementation of the new examination syllabus and the new academic system, aren't they afraid that they will "go against heaven and be punished by heaven"?
  That was a decision made by His Majesty who had traveled through the Immortal World. It was an irrefutable method from a more prosperous Immortal World and would definitely be better than now!

Furthermore, the "Fairy Association" on Qionghua Island turned out to be like this. So since the emperor can have "immortal fate", isn't it equivalent to telling the world openly: Just look, I will definitely live for a long time.

Isn’t it natural that people who are destined to live longer live longer?
  Since the emperor can live for a long time, not only is it not a problem whether he can break the reign record of the Great Tomorrow, but those who want to challenge the authority of the current emperor must also weigh it again.

Is it bad to live?
  Going against the immortal emperor who "descends to earth" and the Ming Emperor who has now been firmly on the throne for twenty-one years?

Regardless of whether it is internal people or external people, I am afraid that when the name of the Great Ming Dynasty spreads to foreign countries, there may be some believers who are eager to become a member of the "Great Ming Immortal Land".

Now, the new queen's guard of honor enters the Forbidden City from the royal road.

When Zhu Houcong made up a rhetoric about "traveling to the immortal world" in order to encourage those people to continue on the path of science, he also gained a strange kind of adoration and enthusiasm in the palace.

He was originally the emperor, but now he has become a fairy. Needless to say, the eunuchs and maids are more in awe of him, and the concubines also have some strange enthusiasm when interacting with the "immortal body".

Now that's not just the emperor's rain and dew, it's the fairy dew.

Maybe we can just chop off the hair and cleanse the marrow, get some immortal energy and immortality, and prolong life?

Thirty-six-year-old Zhu Houcong was very familiar with his "remarriage" this time. After nightfall, he once again came to Kunning Palace, which he had not seen for a long time.

With new people and a new atmosphere, Kunning Palace changed some decorations according to Sun Lan's preferences.

Zhu Houcong looked at Sun Lan's shy face and really thought of Sun Ming.

The two are not very similar in appearance, but their shy look and her same identity make them feel very similar to what they felt twenty years ago.

Zhu Houcong also thought of Sun Jiao: he gave birth to two precious daughters, both of whom were honored by their mothers.

He rejected his father's marriage proposal back then, but later returned the favor.

"Now, I am not your brother-in-law, I am your husband." Zhu Houcong also wanted her not to fall into the perception of being a tool, so he smiled and stroked her tender face and asked her to raise her head. Looking at myself, "You are you, she is her. This is the best kiss, you can look at me boldly."

Sun Lan indeed considers himself a tool man. The two brothers had told her about the euphemistic truth, and the eldest princess Yongkang had also told her.

My sister may indeed have the intention to remind the emperor of her kindness when he looks at her, but being able to become the empress and mother of the world, isn't that the best arrangement that her sister can give her?
  Sun Lan doesn't know much now. She is still at an innocent age and has no other ideas.

On the wedding night, the emperor's palm gradually made her face feel warm. Sun Lan opened her eyes nervously and looked at the emperor's face close at hand.

She had seen this face many times, and she had never dared to take a closer look at it before.

Now, I only notice that the emperor's eyes are soft, there is a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his beard is carefully groomed, full of mature, stable, and wise masculinity.

Yes, thinking that is a kind of masculinity, and soon she will be the woman who has sex in front of him.

It's a man and his woman.

Sun Lan's heart beat faster and faster, and the smile in Zhu Houcong's eyes grew stronger: "Let me see the differences that only belong to you. From now on, I will only remember these differences of yours."

The emperor's hand stretched out, and Sun Lan closed her eyes again and trembled: "Your Majesty..."

Unlike those emperors who only knew how to get and ask for things, Zhu Houcong at least had his own understanding of men and women in the "immortal world".

You may not know what will happen in the future, but she is his woman after all. Letting his woman know that he is only passionate because he loves her for who she is is the beginning of keeping her heart from becoming cold.

Start by melting her.

There was spring again in Kunning Palace. After Zhu Houcong woke up from her side, he made another decision that made the harem feel completely new.

The emperor once again used Qianqing Palace as his residence.

For so many years, the emperor has stayed in the Yangxin Hall.

Is this a lack of desire?

In fact, it's not that complicated. It's just that the front yard of Yangxin Hall is a bit small now.

After twenty years, there are more and more files in the Royal Study Room, and the responsibilities of the bachelors who accompany the Royal Study Room have become increasingly clear.

Now, there must be people who directly help the emperor to contact some key yamen, such as the Huangming Assets Bureau, the Academy of Sciences, and the Military Affairs Conference.

Among the new Jinshi, Tan Lun was appointed to the Imperial Study Office, and he first published the memorials of the Tongzheng Enshi Department.

Together with Tan Lun, four people were appointed to serve in the imperial study. Under the leadership of Yang Bo, Hu Zongxian and Shen Lian were responsible for forming the emperor's direct secretarial team.

The emperor sat on the throne of Qianqing Palace again, showing even more majesty.

After the Imperial Academy had a new location, the Zhongyuan Hall was vacated again and returned to its original function as a "study" by Zhu Houcong, becoming a library.

Sun Lan felt that this was a change made by the emperor for her.

When she looked south in front of the Kunning Palace, she knew that the Emperor was closer to the Qianqing Palace, which was only one hall away, instead of the Yangxin Palace, which was closer to Concubine Shu.

Thinking of the emperor's whisper to her, "Come back tonight," Sun Lan couldn't help but look forward to it sweetly.

She is indeed different from her sister. His Majesty praised her so much before that he couldn't put it down.
