Chapter 187 0182 [Stupid Taoist Priest Offering Dabu Pills]

Too learn.

Zhu Ming came here on horseback, and unexpectedly met Lu Yun, the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine.

Lu Yun also bid farewell to the students. The last time he inspected Taixue, he has been promoted to Zhongshu Sheren (fourth rank).

"Congratulations, Mr. Dunxin!" Ju Ming cupped his fists in congratulations.

Lu Yun smiled and said, "Happy together, happy together."

The rank of Zhongshushe was not very high, but he was extremely noble. He was responsible for drafting the imperial edict and had the right to refute it. He could persuade the emperor to withdraw his edict.

Song Huizong estimated that he had long taken a fancy to Lu Yun's personality as a fan. He was transferred to the Imperial Academy for Jijiu for more than a year, and then he was quickly promoted to Zhongshu Sheren, and it is very likely that he will be transferred to Yushitai next.

The two walked on campus, chatting while walking.

Lu Yun said: "The official family promised to visit the Taixue. If they succeed, they will make a list of students who are excellent in learning but have been unable to get promoted. When the official family arrives, they will personally test and teach these people. The family has long been dissatisfied with the situation of Taixue."

Zhu Ming was in charge of managing 1500 low-level students in the foreign dormitory. Several of them were suppressed by the traitor party, and they usually liked to complain.

Walking all the way back to the office, Zhu Ming wrote down the names of Chen Dong and others, and solemnly handed them over to Lu Yun.

Then he sorted out all kinds of work documents, arranged them neatly, and left the school with Lu Yun.

More than 200 Tai students took the initiative to send them out of the school, and said goodbye to the disciples in unison.

Zhu Ming called Chen Dong to him and told him, "Speak less, learn more, and don't criticize traitors anymore. Otherwise, even if you can be promoted to Shangshe, you won't be able to graduate from Taixue."

"Students, please remember." Chen Dong bowed.

Remember the fart, until the Jingkang period, this guy was still studying in Taixue, and he would catch the traitors and make a fuss whenever he had the opportunity.

Sure enough, Chen Dong added another sentence: "Mr. said that knowledge and action are one, and students can't violate their minds."

Zhu Ming curled his lips and stopped talking to him.

He also called Zhu Song, Gou Long Ruyuan and others, and after some encouragement, he turned and left.

Riding back home, he found that a eunuch had just left.

Zhu Ming asked, "What did the emperor come to reward?"

Zhu Guoxiang said: "I've been promoted, and I'm a co-prefect of Daolu Academy."

There were too many changes in official positions in the Song Dynasty, Zhu Ming was puzzled and asked, "Does the Daolu Academy have colleagues?"

Zhu Guoxiang said: "I just received the imperial decree, and Taoism was changed to be subordinate to the Secretary Province. The top leader was changed to Zhiluyuan, and Lin Lingsu was in charge; there are several Tongzhiluyuan, and I am just one of them. Xue Daoguang, Wang Zixi, etc. People, like me, are synonymous."

Let the Taoist management organization be included in the secretary department... This is a bit beyond Zhu Ming's imagination. He really can't keep up with the rhythm of the Hunjun.

Zhu Ming asked: "After being transferred to the secretary province, are you considered a civil servant or a technical officer?"

Zhu Guoxiang was also confused: "Maybe he is still a technical officer, but in terms of salary, he is treated as a civil servant."

Song Huizong's operation blinded everyone and made speculators eager to move.

Last year, the star of Chushi appeared, and the emperor conscripted the world's leftovers.

Liu Dong, a scholar from Dizhou, was repeatedly recommended four times by local officials, and was finally expropriated to Tokyo for election.Although he was conferred with Jinshi background and was conferred as General Shilang (selected from the ninth grade), he has never been appointed to a specific official position.

Liu Dong was born with the idea of ​​clinging to Cai Jing, and brought a lot of money to see him many times, but he couldn't even enter the threshold of Cai's family.

Hearing that Taoism was reformed into the Ministry of Secretary-General, Liu Dong added the words "Jiu Tian Yi Suan is a disciple of Master Han Zhenren" on his business card.

Immortal disciples are really extraordinary.

The door of Cai Jing's house immediately ran in to report.

Not long after, Liu Dong saw Cai You.

Cai You took the business card and asked, "Are you a civil servant or a monk?"

Liu Dong bowed his knees and replied: "I am what my husband said."

Cai You was amused by these words, he likes this kind of shameless person very much: "You are very clever. You claim to be a disciple of Zhenren Han, but how can you know Taoism? And how can you refine golden elixir?"

Liu Dong said: "If you have read the Taoist scriptures, you can also make golden pills."

Cai You said with satisfaction: "I will play to the official family, you can go back and wait."

The emperor became more and more obsessed with cultivating Taoism, and the Taoist priests recommended by Cai Jing did not seem to be favored.

As a result, Liu Dong, a serious civil servant, was requisitioned again as an immortal.

The more coquettish operation came, Liu Dong made a report, saying that he was the apprentice of Jiu Tian Yi Shuan's command, and accepting the secular official title was to deviate from the teacher's command.He asked to give up his background as a Jinshi and become a Taoist officer...

When the news came out, the whole court was speechless, which alarmed several prime ministers.

The trolls at Yushitai were even more frantic in impeaching Liu Dong for being shameless, and instead of being a good civil servant, they actually wanted to become a Taoist sergeant.

However, Song Huizong thought that this person was dedicated to Taoism, and he was quite appreciative, so he bestowed a purple Taoist robe.

Liu Dong's coquettish operation has just begun. He heard that Wang Zaixi was practicing the medicine of immortality, so he went to the official drug store with money.

"What kind of pills are there?" Liu Dong asked.

The clerk at the official pharmacy said: "There are all kinds of pills, what disease does the guest officer want to treat?"

Liu Dong said: "My body is a little weak, just adjust and replenish Qi."

The clerk immediately took out more than ten kinds of pills, Liu Dong chose the biggest one, and asked, "How do you take this?"

The man said: "Crush the wax skin on the outside, you can swallow it directly, or you can swallow it with wine."

Liu Dong bought a whole bottle and went to see the emperor that day.

He was wearing a purple Taoist robe, and he said he was here to offer elixir. The eunuchs and guards didn't dare to neglect, and rushed to inform Song Huizong.

When this guy saw the emperor, he took out the Dabu Pills he had just bought, and only gave one, and said without changing his face: "These nine days are considered to be the pills given by Han Zhenren, which can prolong life. I dare not keep it privately. Dedicated to the official family."

Although Song Huizong was a fool, he was not a fool.

The difference between Taoist elixir and serious wax pills is so great that anyone with a normal mind can tell the difference.

This Liu Dong probably has never seen what the pill looks like.

Song Huizong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, looked at the Dabu pill in his hand, and asked, "Can Qing be proficient in alchemy?"

Liu Dong said: "Don't dare to lie to the officials, I don't know how to make alchemy. This elixir was given by Han Zhenren in a dream."

Is it the crime of bullying the king?
Of course he was deceiving the emperor, but Song Huizong was not angry. He thought this idiot was too funny, and it would be good to stay for fun.Immediately smiled and said: "Ai Qing has contributed to offering the elixir, and I will give you a hundred guan."

"Thank you, officials!" Liu Dong was overjoyed.

The monarchs and ministers continued to chat, Song Huizong kept asking about Taoism, Liu Dong didn't understand but insisted on pretending to understand.

After the guy left, Song Huizong patted the table and laughed.

So cute, so cute!

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty never expected that Liu Dong would dare to come to offer the elixir, and he didn't know that he would ask for an audience early the next morning after a few days.

"What's the matter with Aiqing?" Song Huizong wanted to laugh when he saw this person.

However, Liu Dong said seriously: "Last night, Master Han came to entrust a dream again, in which he taught the Jingling Yuyang God to respond to the bell. When I woke up this morning, there was another elixir on the table. I dare not hide it for myself, so I came to offer it immediately. To Your Majesty!"

In the original words of the history books, it is "the next day, it will be born again, infinitely", and there is no end to offering pills.

Song Huizong held the second "elixir" and looked at Liu Dong with great doubts. He really wanted to knock open this person's head to see if there was any bean curd in it.

Song Huizong said with emotion: "Your immortal teacher gave you the Yishou Pill, but I don't want to take it. Take it back and eat it yourself." , not my will.")
The wholesale elixir was unsuccessful, so Liu Dong could only return disappointed.

Through the eunuch's mouth, this matter quickly spread to both inside and outside the court, and Liu Dong became a complete joke.

Those Taoist priests before were all able to confuse the monarch, but they have never seen such a stupid one.

Liu Dong went to see Cai You again, but he was blocked at the door and refused to let him in. The door said: "Han Zhenren has given countless pills, and you should accept it yourself. Don't come to the Duke of Lu's mansion again."

Liu Dong was in a hurry, and quickly said: "I heard Lin Lingsu's suggestion, according to the imitation of Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu, don't set five tones, and control Shenxiao music. I think that there can be two things for subjects. As for Gongsheng, how can it be Is there something wrong? Please pass this on to Mr. Cai.”

This person just doesn't know how to practice alchemy, but after all, he was born as a scholar and has a very sensitive sense of etiquette.

Menzi went in to report, and he was quickly invited in by Cai You.

Liu Dong's remarks were written into a secret memorial, which was handed over to the emperor by Cai You.

After reading it, Song Huizong woke up suddenly.

That's right, there are no two tones in the palace, so how can we not determine the five tones?This is to ruin my destiny and luck, fortunately someone reminded me!
So, Lin Lingsu flattered and patted the emperor's horse's leg.

However, Liu Dong, who has become a laughing stock, was taught Zhongsan doctor and Zhilong Tuge because of his meritorious service.

This appointment was too frightening, and Liu Dong himself was frightened, so he hurriedly went to the doctor's office and resolutely declined.

Song Huizong also felt that something was wrong, so he practiced Taoism for Liu Dong's immortal master, and he also cultivated it in Liu Dong's hometown.Liu Dong was granted the title of Mr. Liuzi, and he was ordered to return to his hometown to promote Taoism.

A series of operations is dazzling.

Zhu Ming, who had already packed his luggage and was about to go to Puzhou to take up his post, couldn't laugh or cry: "A fake Taoist priest who changed his job halfway, God damn Zhilong Tuge, this stupid gentleman eats too much elixir, right?"

Zhu Guoxiang guessed: "Maybe he took some stimulant and made a decision with a feverish brain. Under normal circumstances, the emperor is still very clear-headed, and it is impossible to issue such an appointment edict. That Liu Dong is not so stupid. If he dares to Accept it, and I'm afraid you will die a miserable death."

Zhu Ming said: "Last night I went to the Duke of Kang's mansion for a banquet, and the son-in-law Han Jiayan was also there. Although the son-in-law Han didn't say it clearly, he hinted that he wanted to marry his granddaughter to me. I said I was asking for my father's opinion, so I guess that's the reason." In two days, Consort Han will invite a matchmaker to come to the door."

"Then do you accept the marriage?" Zhu Guoxiang asked.

Zhu Ming shook his head and said, "The Han family has too much influence among the civil servants, and they are intertwined in the government and the opposition. I don't want to get too involved with them."

Zhu Guoxiang asked: "Who do you want to marry?"

Zhu Ming said: "The family of the generals of the Western Army should have a good reputation. When the Western Army collapses in the future, I will stand up and call out. There must be many generals and soldiers willing to join us."

Zhu Guoxiang thought about it carefully, and said: "I will find an excuse to refuse the Han family's marriage proposal. As for getting married with a general, you need to find a way by yourself."
