Capital city, West Garden.
Blue sky and white clouds, the sky is clear, blue waves on the Taiyi Pond, a line of white cranes circling in the air, red walls and golden tiles of the Royal Palace in the sunlight glittering. Such a beautiful scenery, like a heaven on earth.
But although the sun is good, but the atmosphere in the West Garden is like dark clouds, cold and depressing.
Whether it is eunuchs or courtesans, as if the world’s most supreme lightweight, walking, doing things do not make any sound, one by one, such as trembling, such as walking on thin ice, even the breath can not wait to screen up.
No other, Jiajing emperor today in a very bad mood.
West Park “weather” is not dominated by the sky, but by the Jiajing emperor dominated. If Jiajing emperor mood is good, the west garden is clear sky; Jiajing emperor if sneeze, the west garden are going to change the sky; If Jiajing emperor mood is bad, that the west garden is dark clouds, and even evolved into a storm.
Today, Jiajing emperor is in a very bad mood, so the West Garden weather dark clouds, palace maid eunuchs like walking on thin ice.
In fact, this recent period of time, Jiajing emperor mood has not been very good.
The day before yesterday, the northern captives thieves chief Iida again led troops to invade Datong. Why use the word “again”, because this is the fourth time this year, the I Ta invaded Datong. This time, I Ta led more than 3,000 cavalry to invade Datong and plundered the fortresses of Dayong and Weilu. Cavalry Battalion Commander Commander Commander Wang Gong rate his soldiers in Pingchuan Dun to defend against the I-Ta’s troops, but the force is not enough, Commander Wang and his subordinates were all killed on the spot. General Zhang Teng, who was stationed at Fort Helping Horse, very close to the battlefield of Pingchuandun, was afraid to close the fortress and did not come out. I answer then rate cavalry from the high mountain city, brick kiln child south, looting Huairen County Shijing village and other places.
Want to rob rob, half a year robbed four trips, I answer this is the Ming border as his own backyard!
You say master Jiajing emperor bad not bad!
Not only that!
In the last few days, the northern provinces of Da Ming, Baoding, Hetian, Shunde and Guangping flooded, and the fields were flooded, and the local officials of the northern provinces submitted the disaster report yesterday, and the situation is quite serious.
Floods in the north, the south has not been idle, Jiangxi Nanchang, Linjiang, Ji’an, Ruizhou, Yuanzhou, Fuzhou, Ganzhou, Nan’an provinces is a drought, a year down, almost no rain, drought in the fields smoke, not to mention the crops are not harvested, that is, the trees are almost to the drought. Jiangxi Nanchang and other places to send the disaster report than the North Zhili disaster report is just one hour late.
Floods in the north, drought in the south! North Zhili down so much rain for what, you go down to Jiangxi how good ah!
You’re not angry!
Jiajing emperor mood can be good?
However, these are padding, not Jiajing emperor today in a very bad mood.
Today Jiajing emperor in a bad mood is the reason that he since the beginning of the month to refine a furnace of immortality Dan, today is the day to open the furnace to take the Dan, but in the morning, the furnace began to emit a burst of odour.
The Immortal Pill was ready, it should be fragrant!Dan furnace smell, this is not a good sign!
This furnace of elixir, Jiajing Emperor has high hopes, because this furnace of elixir Dan Dan formula is the “Eight Duke Dan formula”.
What is “Bakong Dan Fang”?
Have you ever heard of a man’s success and a man’s success? Liu An, the king of Huainan in the former Han Dynasty, had two ambitions, one was to become an immortal by using the magic of the immortals, and the other was to rebel against the emperor. To this end, he recruited a wide range of guests, always preparing for rebellion while always cultivating immortality and alchemy. Among the guests he recruited, Su Fei, Li Shang, Zuo Wu, Tian Yu, Lei was, Wu was, Mao Zhou, Jin Chang, which is the most talented, these eight people were famous at that time, all of them are childish, hale and hearty, the world collectively referred to as the “eight males”. Eight Gong gathered together in the alchemy, finally made the elixir, elixir out of the day of the King of Huainan Liu An rebellion, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zongzheng came to arrest, emergency, Liu An swallowed the elixir and the eight Gong hand in hand with the ascension of the sky. Because of the urgency of the incident, Liu An was in a hurry to eat the elixir, and a lot of the elixir fell on the ground and was eaten by the chickens and dogs in his house, and these chickens and dogs who ate the elixir also followed Liu An to soar to heaven. This is the allusion to the saying that “when a man achieves the Dao, his chickens and dogs rise to the sky”.
The formula used by Emperor Jiajing to make this elixir was the same formula used by Bakong to make the elixir at that time – the “Bakong’s Elixir Formula”.
This is a true immortal formula! Every single ingredient used in this formula was a treasure worth ten thousand gold.
Therefore, Jiajing emperor on this furnace of elixir of high hopes, but this morning, Dan furnace within the odour, like a pot of ice water, the head will be a face of excitement and expectation of the Jiajing emperor poured a through the heart cold.
So, this morning the West Garden “weather” dark clouds.
Therefore, the West Court of the palace maid eunuchs are all trembling, such as walking on thin ice, lest they get into trouble.
“Bam, clatter ……”
Suddenly, a sound of several cases overturning and tealights shattering came out from inside the Yongshou Palace Palace, the two small eunuchs who were on duty at the entrance of the palace had their hearts jumping out of their throats in fear, and looked at each other with pale faces.
Their hearts understand what happened in the palace, this is the Jiajing emperor this furnace of immortal dan open the furnace to take the time of the dan, the palace came out this table smashing sound, means that the immortal dan refining failed!
In fact, in the morning when the furnace odour, we all know in our hearts, this furnace of elixir of immortality has failed.
However, because the morning was not yet the time to open the furnace to retrieve the Dan, everyone still had that small glimmer of hope in their hearts. This is the Eight Dukes Dan formula, how can those past Dan formulas be compared to the Eight Dukes Dan formula, the past alchemy experience is not necessarily applicable to the Eight Dukes Dan formula, maybe when using the Eight Dukes Dan formula to refine the Immortal Dans there is a strange odour emanating from it.
Now, the other boot finally landed, the immortal dan is really a refining failure, Jiajing emperor’s hope is completely dashed …….
Just at this time, a small eunuch holding a zhang folding from the outside of Wu Yi Hall, towards the Yongshou Palace.
“What is this zhang fold?”
The two small eunuchs in front of the Yongshou Palace door looked like birds of prey, and asked with a frightened face.
It can’t be any bad news!
The two little eunuchs silently prayed in their hearts.
However, the more worried about what, the more what, holding the folders of the small eunuch whispered back, “This is Taizhou Japanese war report, eight hundred miles urgent report, can not be delayed, but also please the two in the pass …….”
The Japanese?
Taizhou is infested with Japanese?
Isn’t this going to kill us?
The two small eunuchs guarding the door looked at each other with bloodless faces and simultaneously opened their mouths to let out a wordless sentence.
“You go ……”
“You go ……”
The two little eunuchs said in unison.
At this time, they do not want to enter the hall pass, they are clear in their hearts, Jiajing emperor alchemy failure is angry, this time to go in to pass, is not just bumped into the Jiajing emperor on the head of the gas? Moreover, not to mention the fact that the Jiajing Emperor is angry, the report is also a bad thing like the Japanese!
This is adding fuel to the fire! The danger factor has increased exponentially!
If you go in at this time, it’s almost like the wind and the water are cold, and the strong man will not return once he’s gone. ……
