Chapter 1068 A revival of Shinto beyond any auspiciousness
In front of Yuxi Palace.

Yan Song's car stopped slowly.

This is a kind of sedan chair carried by two people. When Yan Song sat on it, the back of the chair only reached his waist, and he had to curl up a little.

In fact, "Xu Jinyuan rides the waist Yu" is already the emperor's grace. Normal cabinet members can only ride horses when entering and leaving Xiyuan, and they are not qualified to sit in sedan chairs at all.

Yan Shifan was riding a horse, and he came to the side of the lift first, and helped his old father, who was in his seventies, with white beard and hair, to get down from time to time to try the elixir for Wan Sui.

"Duke Yan!"

Lu Ben and Xu Jie also waited early and went up to say hello respectfully.

Yan Song nodded lightly, showing an old and kind smile, and called out in that Jiangxi dialect: "Ru Li! Zi Sheng!"

Ru Li is Lu Ben's nickname, Zisheng is Xu Jie's nickname, and the latter is not actually a member of the cabinet.

There are only two people in the current cabinet, Yan Song and Lu Ben.

Lu Ben almost entered and exited with Yan Song. Historically, he stayed in the cabinet for thirteen years, with no achievements or evil deeds. Later, when Yan Song fell from power, he lived out his old age at home. He was a cabinet elder with a low sense of presence.

So when his father greeted him, Yan Shifan didn't even look at Lu Ben, just pretending that he didn't exist, but glanced at Xu Jie, showing a trace of vigilance.

This man under the age of fifty is already a prospective cabinet member. If all goes well, he will be able to join the cabinet next year. Although he has always been cautious, rarely has political views, and has never made a head start, after entering the cabinet, will he not be able to handle it? It's hard to say goodbye to yourself, and don't tell your father. You have to investigate carefully.

But the current Xu Jie is worth a glance. Yan Shifan quickly turned his gaze to look at the eunuch Lu Fang, who was carried from the other side, and the four eunuchs holding pens behind him.

The cabinet at this time is Yan Song's Yiyantang, and the Licensor is Lu Fang's Yiyantang. The "foreign minister" and "inner minister" can meet and chat for a few words, and most of the matters in the court can be decided.

Of course, it sounds like the power is boundless, but both parties must carefully figure out the meaning of the royal father in the palace.

Follow your will, everyone is happy, and when you exercise power, you can also seek personal gain for yourself.

If it's against your will, or if you make a big mistake, it's a trivial matter to resign. Xia Yan hasn't died for many years!

Once upon a time, Yan Shifan also thought that if the Jiajing government was appointed by himself and issued the edict himself, would his father and son not have to take responsibility so tremblingly?

Therefore, when Jiajing personally issued an edict this time and convened the imperial meeting, Yan Shifan was panicked. He was afraid that this power, which had changed the rules and the strict party was in full swing, would collapse rapidly.

Under the shroud of this sense of crisis, Yan Shifan is doing his best at this time, looking at Lu Fang's face, looking at the expressions of every ceremonial supervisor, hoping to find clues and respond in advance.

However, Lu Fang's face was calm and he couldn't see anything, while Huang Jin, Chen Hong and others had weird expressions, like shock, surprise, and hesitation, which made Yan Shifan even more panicked.

Yan Song didn't have the sharp eyes like his son's. He squinted his dim old eyes, took two steps forward slowly, and greeted with the first step: "Eunuch Lu!"

Lu Fang hurried forward and supported Yan Song, with a humble smile on his face: "The elders of the pavilion are highly respected, and the long live faith is the most important thing. How can an old slave be worthy of it!"

There was a flash of light in Yan Song's cloudy eyes: "I deserve it! I deserve it! The disaster year is hard to get through, and we are in the same boat, thanks to Eunuch Lu supporting the inner court!"

The two seemed to be just saying a few polite words, but they settled down and walked into the gate of the palace with their subordinates side by side.

The layout here is more like a house, with tables and cases placed on the left and right, and a simple rosewood chair standing in the middle.

Behind the seat is a copper censer with a three-legged cover. The cover is hollowed out according to the gossip pattern, and faint cigarettes are constantly smelting out.

In the center of the north wall directly above the copper censer, there is a very white framed nave, on which is written in thin gold script: "I have three virtues: compassion, frugality, and dare not be the first in the world."

This sentence comes from Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching". It is concise and concise, but it has far-reaching meaning and is worth pondering and understanding.

In the past, every official who entered the house would see this line of writing almost at first glance, and after savoring it, they would go to their respective positions.

But at this time, everyone's eyes fell on the two figures.

There were already two people waiting in the hall.

A burly figure with sharp edges and corners, with a bold but not fierce face, is Jiajing's milk brother, Lu Bing, the commander of Jinyiwei.

This person served as the guard of Jinyiwei, and also served as the left governor of the military governor's mansion, plus the prince and Taibao. While controlling the Jinyiwei, he was also responsible for the defense of the capital.

So trusting and unique.

The other is an old Taoist man in feather clothes and star crown, with a long white beard, fluttering like a fairy, and there is an inexplicable sense of tranquility around him, staring at this Taoist priest, it seems that he can hear caves and valleys as Xiao, forests as strings, boundless The mysterious music played, it was Tao Zhongwen, the celestial master.

Not only is he the leader of the Taoist sect, but he is also the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

When Yan Song, Lu Fang, Lu Bing, and Tao Zhongwen, the four most favored courtiers above the court, gathered in the hall and covered all aspects of civil, military and religious, the importance of this meeting can be imagined.

Everyone made eye contact, and they dared not speak more and more, only the slight movement of footsteps.

Lu Fang led Teng Xiang, Meng Chong, Huang Jin, and Chen Hong to line up and stand on the left side.

Yan Song led Lu Ben, Xu Jie, and Yan Shifan to line up and stand on the right side.

Lu Bing and Tao Zhongwen were independent from the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies. Everyone faced the empty seat in the middle and fell silent.

In the past, they would bow three times facing the seat, because that represented the big son who would not show up.

Not now.

Everyone held their breath and looked at the passage on the east side of the hall.

In the depths of the passage is the Jingshen Abode, the door in the middle of the abdication is wide open, even in winter when it snows.

As we all know, the Long Live Lord has practiced so hard that he is not afraid of the cold and frost. He can wrap himself in thick winter clothes in summer and face the wind and snow in winter.

In the passage of heavy veils, the voice of poetry came out:

"Put green seedlings all over the field with your hands, and look down to see the sky in the water."

Everyone knelt down quietly, and they all listened silently without shouting long live.

A middle-aged man with thin body, clear face and fluttering sleeves appeared.

This is the eleventh monarch of the Ming Dynasty, who entered the palace at the age of fifteen, Shao succeeded to the throne, and has held imperial power for thirty years, Emperor Jiajing, Zhu Houcong.

With a fair face, regular facial features, unusually long ears, and three long beards under his chin, he is outstanding both in appearance and temperament. When he came to the hall at this time, he stroked the armrest of the red sandalwood seat with his slender fingers. After reciting the second half of the poem, he said calmly: "Excuse me!"

The sound that was so close at hand caught everyone's eyes flickering, and they frantically thought about the meaning behind it, and then said in unison: "Your servants will pay homage to my emperor!"

The first half of the sentence is unified, and the second half of the sentence was added by someone.

After Jiajing sat down, he looked at the elder Xiaoge who was the least qualified to be here: "Yan Shifan, what do you mean by that?"

Yan Shifan was actually extremely nervous, but his tone was very calm, revealing a sense of sincerity from the heart: "Since ancient times, the relationship between heaven and man, yin and yang have been in harmony, your majesty has devoted himself to cultivating one's character, correcting one's body and mind, using merit as the body, and golden elixir for use." , I can enjoy immortal blessings forever, and my life is equal to the heavens. My Jiangshan community in the Ming Dynasty should not be subject to external insults and internal disturbances, and it will be prosperous forever. I am thinking about this, and my heart is surging, and I feel it!"

Jiajing looked at Yan Song: "Weizhong, you have taught a son who can talk."

Weizhong is Yan Song's surname, and the emperor used his name to address it, which shows Long En, but whether Jiajing's sentence is a compliment or a sarcasm, no one can tell, the atmosphere in the hall is once again condensed, and only Yan Song is ready to bow down.

Jiajing waved his hand: "Don't be too polite. Calling you here today is indeed a major event related to the country and the country. The Shinto of my Ming Dynasty has finally recovered!"

The courtiers who knew the situation were already shocked, and didn't know how to answer for a while, and the courtiers who didn't know the situation were startled, and they didn't know how to respond.

Jiajing looked at Lu Bing: "Wenfu, Jinyiwei has made outstanding achievements this time, tell them!"

Wenfu is Lu Bing's nickname, the emperor's most trusted baby brother stepped forward and said loudly: "The minister leads the decree..."

Next, the person in charge of Jinyiwei narrated the events in Hangzhou city in a concise and concise manner without letting go of any details.

Accompanied by the repeated appearance of an already familiar name, the ministers couldn't help but show surprise and admiration.

Li Shizhen, a Taoist doctor, solves strange cases, heals the land, takes out evil spirits, and even has the great news of the dragon king entrusting his dream.

In comparison, the loss and recovery of the anti-Japanese commander seems to be a trivial matter...

In today's world, there are Taoism, mantras, and demons and ghosts running rampant. These are all certain, and I have seen it with my own eyes.

But where are the immortal immortals, and whether the so-called gods and Buddhas really disappeared or did not exist in the first place have become doubts in many people's minds.

Until now.

The land appears!Dragon King holds a dream!
Although it is only the beginning, just like Jiajing's characterization of this matter, this is a sign of the revival of the Shinto, which is incomparable to any auspiciousness!
"This Li Shizhen is a strange person! Heh, the Celestial Master is in trouble!"

Yan Shifan breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but glance at Tao Zhongwen.

This matter has little to do with the cabinet. At most, His Majesty will make alchemy in the future, and I will trouble my father to try more medicine;
It doesn't have much to do with the Supervisor of Rituals, at most, those close servants want to please the master, so they need to learn more about immortals;

The relationship with Jin Yiwei is not close, but this time the Thirteen Taibao has made great contributions, and Lu Bing's position has become more stable.

Only Tao Zhongwen, the leader of the Taoist sect and the number one practitioner today, knows nothing about this matter. On the contrary, it is not as good as the one who was famous before, who was able to change the head of the countess, and now heals the gods Li Shizhen, prestige is naturally a huge blow, and may even lose His Majesty's trust...

However, at the next moment, the voice of Jiajing's praise sounded: "Tao Zhenren prayed for blessings and relief from disasters. Seven days ago, the room was filled with strange fragrances and auspicious clouds fell from the sky. What we see now is indeed fulfilled!"

Tao Zhongwen saluted first, and a warm and pleasant voice sounded: "The success of this method and the revival of the divine way are all due to your majesty's hard work and continuous cultivation. The gods feel, and the poor will never dare to covet the achievements of heaven!"

Jiajing finally couldn't help laughing out loud: "It's all meritorious! It's all meritorious!"

"Absolutely!"

Yan Shifan had to sigh, compared to their strict party, Tao Zhenren was really powerful, and he didn't need anyone to go there in person to take credit for himself.

However, Jiajing is not comparable to ordinary emperors after all. He is extremely difficult to fool, and he returned to Xinran happily, but he seemed to casually say: "A true Taoist has always penetrated the Three Realms and Four Continents. Now and in the future, can you explain to me the magic of Taoism?"

Swish!
All the ministers stared at him, even Lu Fang couldn't hold it back, wanting to hear what this person would say about the sudden emergence of Taoist doctor Li Shizhen.

Tao Zhongwen said calmly and authentically: "In ancient times, the way of heaven was ordered, and the king of man should respond to his spirit. He observed the astronomy to observe the changes of time. Therefore, Fuxi initiated the "Book of Changes", the ancestor of the Yellow Emperor narrated the "Internal Classic", and Shennong wrote and used "Materia Medica". The study of the tomb is the source of medicine, and it is also passed on to the world."

""Materia Medica" nourishes the innate with visceral qi and blood, "Neijing" pursues the innate with the meridians of inner scenes, and "Book of Changes" shows the cultivation of heaven and earth, awareness of life, and the principle of the period, which has the same beauty as Jindan Dao, harmonizes body energy, and melts Material desires, stability of temperament, refinement of spirit, removal of troubles and obstacles, sublimation of consciousness!"

"There are so many things that mortal doctors don't know, but Taoist doctors can comprehend a thing or two. This is not a small way, and your Majesty should use it!"

These remarks did not mention Li Shizhen in a single sentence, but explained the origin relationship between Taoism and medicine from a high-level perspective, pointing directly to the Three Emperors, with a vast pattern and invisible distinctions between high and low.

He cultivated the Golden Core Dao, Taoist medicine has found another way, and he can comprehend one or two things, it is indeed not a small way, but it is clear at a glance which one is better and which is worse.

Listening to the words of this immortal, everyone in the supervisor of ceremonies was first moved, and even Lu Fang nodded subconsciously.

Yan Shifan didn't believe it at all in his heart, he just thought it was a grab for credit, but when he saw Lu Bing and his old father Yan Song nodded slightly, they also showed their admiration.

A smile appeared on Jiajing's face: "Tao Zhenren awakened the dreamer with one word. The way of medicine is extraordinary. I ignored it before. Fortunately, it is not too late!"

At the beginning, Jiajing did not ignore it. In his opinion, the avenue is ethereal and far away, but physical pain will toss people all the time. Therefore, Taoist priests and doctors, the former soothes the soul, and the latter heals the body.

However, Taoism also has medical skills. Jiajing believed in it at first because he was weak and sick when he was young, and he sought Taoist health preservation methods to take care of his body. As a result, his body was healed and he fell into it completely. Now he is unwilling to believe the words of the imperial physician. Gradually The doctor did not dare to say.

Until now a Taoist doctor appeared.

Jiajing felt that attention should be paid to it: "The revival of the divine way, Li Shizhen has made great contributions. How can such a feat be rewarded?"

Before the other courtiers could open their mouths, Tao Zhongwen immediately said: "Poverty Dao thinks that Li Dao's medical knowledge has not been fully demonstrated, so this matter is not urgent!"

Yan Shifan sneered in his heart: "It seems that Master Tao regards Li Shizhen as a great enemy. Could it be that he is condescending on the surface, but in fact he is so scared to death?"

Jiajing's expression remained unchanged, and there was a slight fluctuation in his tone: "Then when will we wait? When the divine way is truly revived and the Dragon King appears, shall we be rewarded together?"

Tao Zhongwen's expression became solemn: "Your Majesty, don't expect too much from Li Daoyi. The poor Taoist has been watching the sky for the past few days and nights. There are demon stars rising to the southeast, sweeping straight to Ziweiyuan, and violating the Northern Emperor's Heavenly Palace. Great events in the world, fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and human nature is moving." , the recovery of Shinto, or there is a danger of interruption!"

Jiajing's attention was shifted immediately, and his brows were raised angrily: "It's unreasonable, how can I let the pirates affect my Ming's Shinto? This time, I will personally sit in the town, and there will be no mistakes!!"

Hearing the raised tone, all the ministers bowed down again, and the cabinet and the chief inspector were under enormous pressure.

The people in the southeast can suffer, but now it is related to the road of cultivating immortals. This gentleman who has never been willing to take responsibility finally took the command of the anti-Japanese war in person. They are naturally very careful.

"The time is too late, or the end will be good. I, Ming, and I are united. Is there any reason? Don't be too polite, go to work, I am looking forward to the news from the southeast!"

Jiajing's voice softened again, and with a flick of his sleeve, he was sent away gracefully by the courtiers. At the same time, the voice echoed inside and outside, and the second half of the poem that had just ended abruptly was finished:

"A pure mind is the way to go. Regression turns out to be forward!"

　Thanks to the book friends "Rogeotarifos", "Xingshang W" and "Ni Cangsheng" for their rewards.
