Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Su Mu's current thoughts are not on playing tricks and embroidering with Emperor Zhengde to make him happy.Besides, he was in a mess today, and he didn't want to sweat himself out.

It is better to send Emperor Zhengde away as soon as possible, so that he can talk to Chongxu.

He said: "Your Majesty is currently learning Neijiaquan from Daoist Chongxu, why don't I accompany you to push hands."

"Push hands, what is push hands?" The emperor looked curious.

It was only then that Su Mu remembered that now Taijiquan is probably only known to a few Taoist priests in Wudang Mountain, and it has not been popularized among the people.

Helpless in my heart: I am also talking too much, it seems that I have to spend some time teaching Emperor Zhengde.

He had no choice but to be patient, and explained the brushing method of Taiji pushing hands to Zhengde in detail.He also explained that Tai Chi Push Hands is a superb martial art in internal boxing, and practicing it several times a day is of great benefit to training the warrior's waist and horse and using his own strength.

As soon as he said this, Emperor Zhengde became interested, and tried to exchange a few tricks with Su Mu, and immediately felt the beauty of it, and had a great time playing.

The Tai Chi pushing hands taught by Su Mu to Emperor Zhengde has not yet become a popular exercise method in this era. Chongxu looked at it for a long time and couldn't help nodding, feeling that this exercise method is good.If practiced for a long time, it will be of great benefit to the flexibility and coordination of the body.

Zhengde played for more than an hour, only then did Su Mu realize that this kind of soft-looking Tai Chi pushing hands is really tiring.

After playing for so long, my legs became weak and my waist became sore.His physical fitness was considered good in the Ming Dynasty, and he had such a great reaction. If it was replaced by other people, the effect must be better. No wonder Emperor Zhengde became fascinated as soon as he practiced.

"Come, come, come again!" Emperor Zhengde's strength was gone, his body twirled involuntarily, and he almost fell to the ground.

He laughed loudly, stabilized his figure, and shouted happily.

Su Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Your Majesty, I will leave the capital tomorrow, and I can no longer serve Your Majesty. The family is still waiting for my minister to go home and pack, but there is no longer any delay."

"Oh, I forgot." Emperor Zhengde put away his stance with a look of disappointment, and sighed: "I never thought that Tai Chi push hands in this internal boxing is so interesting. If I had known this, I shouldn't have let you go out of Beijing. In the future , but no one has practiced with me."

When Su Mu heard this, he was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood: Your Majesty, I regret it too!

After the emperor had finished playing and left, Taoist Chongxu invited Su Mu into the palace to watch tea.

"Editor Su, I always heard that you won the Enke's No. [-] Scholar this time, and you were selected to be an editor in the Hanlin Academy. You were selected by His Majesty as a central government official when you were only a weak crown, and you have a bright future. With a calm expression on his face, he poured hot water into Su Mu's teacup: "Pindao is here to congratulate Editor Su."

Su Mu smiled wryly: "It's important to be selected into the Central Committee. I'm going to be sent to Shaanxi to inspect places, and to preside over the Shaanxi provincial examination next year. I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the capital within a year."

Chongxu: "It is a supreme honor to patrol the localities and hunt on behalf of the emperor. As for presiding over a province's rural examination and recruiting students, it is a rare opportunity. Among the great masters who preside over a province's rural examination, most of them are highly respected. Masters of the articles, senior Hanlin. Such as Su Bianzhuan and Kang Bianxiu, who are teachers in their early twenties, are really rare in the past hundred years of the Kingdom. Pindao is here, congratulations to Su Bianzhuan. "

"Congratulations?" Su Mu laughed bitterly.

He didn't come to Chongxu today to complain, so he said: "Master Daoist, you did me a favor last time at Baiyun Temple. I have been busy with the imperial examinations, so I haven't been able to come to thank you. Please be more generous."

"Editor Su doesn't need to take it to heart, but I don't know why your lord came to see Xiaodao today?" Chongxu also knew that Su Mu would go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing, so he asked directly.

"Last time at Baiyun Temple, Su Mu's eyes were wide open when he heard the story about the offspring mentioned by the Taoist priest and the elder Taishan. When I came here today, I just want to ask you, if this person can't have children, what is the reason? "

Chongxu did not doubt that there was him, and replied: "Using the Taoist fairy art point of view to explain, the human body is the universe, and what is important is the balance of yin and yang. Earlier, Xiaodao and His Majesty just said that yin cannot be born alone, and yang cannot be born alone." Long. The issue of heirs is also the same, no matter male or female, only when the yin and yang in the body are balanced and coordinated can hair grow and nourish."

"I don't know much about Daoism, please explain it in detail." Now that he was on the topic, Su Mu raised his spirits.

Chongxu smiled slightly: "Taoism's theory of yin and yang is indeed mysterious and unfathomable to ordinary people. In this way, Xiaodao changes the theory and replaces it with the principles of doctors. People are born in this world with one breath. Exhale and inhale, inhale the aura of heaven and earth, and spit out the dirt on the body. The aura of heaven and earth enters the body and is used by me, and only then can a person live. How can a person tell whether he is dead or alive, just to see whether he is breathing and whether he has heat .”

"The Taoist said that the heat on the body is the body temperature."

"Yes, body temperature. Compiler Su found no. If a person is healthy, his body temperature can always be within a certain range. If it is high or low, it means that there is something wrong with your body. It is the so-called high fever and low fever. If the yin energy in the human body is too heavy, people will be afraid of the cold and cold, and the body temperature will be low. If the yang energy is too strong, it will be high."

Su Mu was thoughtful: "The Taoist priest means that no matter whether the body temperature is high or low, it will lead to infertility?"

"Editor Su is right." Daoist Chongxu nodded: "The human body is like the world, full of yin and low body temperature, just like the midwinter season, how can the seeds of essence germinate. If it is too high..."

"Don't need to talk about Taoism, Su Mu already understands." Su Mu waved his hand, he understands the truth that if the body temperature is too high, he will not be able to conceive.For example, if a man's lower body is too high, his sperm will not be able to survive. This is already a well-known scientific common sense in modern society.

Having said that, he took out from his pocket the prescriptions that the imperial hospital had given to Emperor Zhengde over the past ten years, and handed them to Taoist Chongxu: "Teacher, take a look at these prescriptions."

He smiled at Xu: "The poor Taoist is not a doctor, so how can he see clearly."

Having said that, he still reached out to take it and looked carefully.

After a long time, he returned Fang Zi to Su Mu and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Mu: "This man is in the same year as the next one. This year has passed, and his body is very strong. It's a pity that although there is a beautiful wife and concubine in the family, they have been married for two years, but they have no children. This is his past ten years. I want to ask the Taoist priest to take a look at the prescriptions I have taken."

Chongxu: "If you are asking about your heir, you still have to see the person in person, and you can only be sure by the pulse."

Su Mu smiled: "He also has status, and he is also a scholar, so he must lose face."

Chongxu chuckled, expressing his understanding: "If you don't have children, it's really something that makes people look down."

He spoke vaguely, but Su Mu sensed something was wrong, and felt a thud in his heart.
