Chapter 15 Eunuch Taoist Emperor
When Lu Bing came to the emperor's bedroom, a young eunuch stood at the door. When he saw Lu Bing coming, he hurriedly greeted him: "Master Lu, you are here, and later, let me report to the emperor."

Lu Bing nodded and said, "Feng Bao, how are you doing these days? Is anyone still bullying you?"

Feng Bao hurriedly bowed and thanked: "Thanks to you, now that I am with Eunuch Huang, no one dares to bully me."

This little eunuch was named Feng Bao, and he was always bullied when he first entered the palace. Lu Bing saw him once when he entered the palace. My father has read and written books, so he can be regarded as a scholarly family.Later, my father went to Beijing to take the exam with all his belongings, but died of illness in the capital, and my mother died of grief when she heard the bad news.

Feng Baobian sold everything in the family and followed his fellow countrymen to the capital.In order to collect his father's funeral, he ran out of money and even borrowed a lot from his fellow villagers.The fellow countryman is also an ordinary family. In order not to hurt the fellow countryman, Feng Bao proposed to ask the fellow countryman to sell him to pay off the debt.But he is already in his teens, and good people no longer accept such a big child.There was no other way, the fellow villagers had no choice but to sell him into the palace.

Hearing what happened to Feng Bao, Lu Bing was very moved, and introduced him to be an apprentice with Huang Jin.Huang Jin saw that he was literate and smart, and admired him very much, so he sent him to the Supervisor of Rites.

Lu Bing asked Feng Bao, "How long has Chen Hong been here?"

Feng Bao turned his eyes and said: "I've been here for a while, but when I first came, the emperor was meditating, and now it's less than a stick of incense to go in."

Lu Bing nodded and asked again: "Is there any change?" Feng Bao shook his head and said: "I don't hear clearly, it seems that you killed someone."

Lu Bing smiled and patted Feng Bao's hat and said, "It's okay, kid, even you know?" Feng Bao held his head and said with a smile, "I'm afraid no one will know now."

Lu Bing murmured: "It spread quite quickly." He took out another jade cicada and threw it to Feng Bao, saying: "Here, I bought it at the stall, let's play with it."

Feng Bao took it, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Master Lu, for the reward, then I will report to you now."

Lu Bing waved his hand and said, "Go!"

Feng Bao went in to report, came out soon, pushed open the door of the palace, bowed to Lu Bing and said, "Lord Lu, the emperor wants you to go in."

Lu Bing nodded, straightened his clothes, and strode into the bedroom.

Walking into the bedroom, I saw that the interior was very simple, with green flags and plain strands, and copper incense burners.It doesn't look like an emperor's bedroom, but more like a Taoist practice ground.Walking around the outer chamber of the palace, he saw Emperor Jiajing sitting cross-legged on the dragon bed with a solemn face, dressed in Taoist robes, holding a dust whisk in his hand.Chen Hong was standing under his dragon bed with his hands tied.

Seeing Lu Bing coming in, Emperor Jiajing couldn't help laughing.Only then could it be seen that the man with the three strands of long beard was still very young.

"You're here, we're talking about you." Emperor Jiajing said with a smile
Lu Bing also smiled and knelt down: "How is your majesty?"

Emperor Jiajing waved his hand to get him up and said, "Fortunately, Master Shao sent a newly refined elixir. I just tried it, and I feel much better."

Lu Bing frowned lightly and said, "Did someone try it before Your Majesty?" Emperor Jiajing smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, it took three young eunuchs to eat for seven to 49 days before coming here. Those little eunuchs are also in good health." Much stronger."

Only then did Lu Bing feel relieved: "The way to practice is to practice more. After all, pills are heretics."

Lu Bing said this because he knew that many Taoist priests often used gold and stones such as lead and mercury to make alchemy, which was not good for their health, but he also knew that Emperor Jiajing grew up in the land of Jingchu, which was the source of Taoism. It is self-evident that the influence of respecting Taoism and being influenced by the ears and eyes on Emperor Jiajing is self-evident.

Emperor Jiajing has a strong personality, and it is difficult to change what he decides. Since he came to the throne, not only he believes in himself, but also all his officials must respect the Tao. Imprisoned in the shackles, or dead on the spot with a stick.

Lu Bing was also not good at admonishing him bluntly, he knew in his heart that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it would be useless, so he could only remind Jiajing to take less pills.

Emperor Jiajing didn't listen to it, but instead persuaded Lu Bing, "Alchemy has been practiced for a long time. Isn't Liu An, the king of Huainan, just taking pills and ascending? Even his chickens and dogs ascended to heaven together. Haha, I will ask Huang Jin to give you some later." Go, you give some to your mother and your father. I heard that your father is not in good health recently, and he will be fine after taking my elixir." Emperor Jiajing said, thinking of becoming an immortal, he couldn't help but feel very happy, and even opened Started to joke about Lu Bing.

Lu Bing bowed helplessly to thank him.He thought about it again, that Zhiyi Daoist Shao Yuanjie was a Daoist of the Qing Palace on Longhu Mountain, and his teachers were Fan Wentai, Li Bofang, and Huang Taichu.According to legend, the secret of the "Dragon Tu Specification" is also cultivated for many years, and now it is the head of the current Taoist sect. It should not dare to use poisons such as lead and mercury in the emperor's elixirs, right?

Emperor Jiajing thought of King Huainan taking pills to become immortals, and also thought that the elixir offered by Shao Zhenren this time was indeed miraculous.

Chen Hong hurriedly responded from the side: "Shao Zhenren did his best for His Majesty's way, and he really deserves to be rewarded to encourage him to refine better elixir."

When Jiajing heard that what Chen Hong said was exactly what he wanted, he immediately called Chen Hong to draw up an order: "I will build the real man's mansion in the west of the city, give Lumi a hundred stones every year, send 40 school captains to clean, and give [-] hectares of Zhuangtian to save them Rent. Take Sun Shao Qinan as Taichang Chancellor, and great-grandson Shao Shiyong as Taichang Doctor."

Lu Bing was at the side, although he felt that the reward was too heavy, which seemed inappropriate, but he saw that the emperor was in high spirits, and he didn't want to go against the emperor's wishes at this critical moment, so he didn't speak.

Chen Hong drew up the decree, and Emperor Jiajing said to Chen Hong: "You go to pass the decree now, and urge it to be done quickly, especially the Real Man's Mansion, which must be completed as soon as possible, and your East Factory must also supervise it.

Chen Hong paused, obeyed the imperial decree, and bowed to leave.

After Chen Hong left the bedroom, the palace door was closed.Jiajing's smiling face became indifferent, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the room was filled with sandalwood and clouds of smoke. At this moment, he really looked like a god made of clay and wood.

Seeing this, Lu Bing also remained silent.
