Chapter 661 Emperor Ku
...
After all, Jiajing was old and lost his courage and spirit. When he thought of the torture and entanglement he had been planning and enduring in order to replace Yan Song and achieve a smooth transition of the regime, he did not have the courage to do it again. Oh, forget it, let’s beat the drum and buy candy, and do our own things. You govern the country, enjoy your old age, and concentrate on practicing Taoism. You do not interfere with each other. Is this okay?
This is the bottom line of Emperor Jiajing. If you can't defend this, the straight ministers will be placed in the Censorate and can lay the foundation for their own reforms. If you want to solve the military problem, you can find a suitable candidate.
This was not a difficult task for Xu Jie. Because in his many years of secondary support career, he did not just flatter the emperor and curry favor with Yan Song, but also silently observed the officials of the Ming Dynasty. He had already made a clear idea of who had any skills and what they could do, and had made arrangements by chance.
When he finally could show his strength, Xu Jie took these people out of the clamp and placed them on the table. Now he needed a minister who could rectify the Ministry of War. His candidate was Guo Gan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing.
Guo Gan had no friendship with Xu Jie. He didn't even say a few words, but Xu Jie dared to say that this is what he needed. This person was lonely and poor when he was young and studied hard. After the 17th year of Jiajing, he served as the head of the Ministry of Works and the doctor. Later, he served as the prefect of Weihui, Henan. Due to his outstanding political achievements, he was promoted continuously. He served as deputy envoy of the Shanxi Censorate. The right attendant of Xijiang, the right attendant of Xijiang Censor, the right attendant of Jiangxi, and the left attendant of Shaanxi. He was promoted step by step, which is enough to show his ability.
Later, he was promoted to deputy censor of the Censorate and governor of Shaanxi, and finally entered the highest level of politics. During his tenure as governor, he strictly restrained his subordinates. After assessment and implementation, he abolished several corrupt officials. From then on, "the commander of the chief officer is like ice jade." Soon, because the court designated the strategy of first south and then north, he was changed to the Minister of War in Nanjing, and was then changed to the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing, responsible for adjusting food and salary for the Southeast Governor Hu Zongxian." At that time, a total of 200,000 troops were extended to several provinces, and the difficulty of transfer was as difficult as the sky, but he also completed the task outstandingly, and never missed it, which was well received by the frontline soldiers.
Xu Jie valued Guo's experience and strong administrative ability, especially when he was in office as the governor of Shaanxi, he effectively suppressed corruption and rectified the results. So he transferred him to the capital, and believed that he would not disappoint himself." Xinyiyi,
But all this had nothing to do with Emperor Jiajing. His fatigue of politics had reached its peak and he was completely immersed in his career in practicing Taoism. Moreover, as he grew older, he became more and more urgent to seek immortality. He issued an edict to the world to seek alchemists and talisman secretaries with a large sum of money and wealth. The rest of his favorites were made, and officials from various provinces were recruiting them for a long time. By the beginning of the 42nd year of Jiajing, he offered thousands of secret techniques and recommended more than a hundred alchemists. After being screened by the Longhu Mountain Heavenly Masters in the capital, more than a hundred books were left. More than ten people were offered to the emperor.
At that time, Xiong Xianjin, a paternal priest from Fengcheng County, Jiangxi Province, had 66 volumes of "Faster Book". After reading the Jiajing Imperial Palace, he was in the interview and was in harmony with each other. He was overjoyed and there was no need for other paternal priests.
Why are so many ambitious alchemists so successful by Xiong Xian? In addition to being handsome and good-looking, the key is that his statement is too awesome. This person holds the "reincarnation" meaning that people in this world are reincarnations of ancient people. If they practice to a certain extent, they can obtain memories of their previous lives. If they practice again, they can restore everything in their previous lives, such as life span and skills, but they do not lose their own soul.
Obviously, this is a very attractive topic. Jiajing really entered Ao and said again: "Then how good have you practiced?"
"The grass people are not talented, and they have achieved some success until now." The bear looked at him forty or fifty years old. His face was clear and slapped, his figure was thin, he wore a tall crown and wide belt, and his hand tilted five-animal feather fan, which made people, especially the "Immortal Control" like Jiajing, who couldn't help but feel very good.
"Real Sect Jiajing asked! "Which ancient man was you reincarnated?" "Caomin Shixian in his previous life." Xiong Xian said.
"Oh?" Jiajing asked with a smile: "It turned out to be the minister of the imperial school." Then can you see, which ancient man was reincarnated?"
After hearing this, Xiong Xian stood up. After performing the 3rd and 9th tribute, he whispered loudly: "Count it. You are Zhuoying. The old minister has been waiting for a day for a long time!" As he said that, he burst into tears.
Jiajing was shocked and said, "What, do you say I am the reincarnation of the imperial camp?"
"Yes. Your Majesty." Xiong Xian said excitedly: "You are not awakened yet. So you don't know your identity. As long as you practice the "Fastery Book" written by Weishi, you will be able to regain your true body in the imperial camp!"
Jiajing fell into silence. Who is Emperor Yu? He is one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, benevolent and powerful, benevolent and trustworthy, cultivate oneself and obey the world. He reigned for 70 years and ruled the world and lived in peace and prosperity! More importantly, this Emperor Camp was 107 years old and finally turned into an immortal. If he could really transform into him, wouldn’t the dream of immortality be realized? And he could be the wise emperor for a lifetime? How could he not be moved by this?
Of course, Jiajing is not a child after all, so it is impossible for people to believe that he is an imperial scholar. He must be able to convince him. So he asked Xiong Xian: "What evidence do you have?"
"Some." Xiong Xian nodded and said, "Because His Majesty has the same mark as the Imperial Camp, there should be many common points. You can find it as long as you are patiently looking for it.
"Common points?" Jiajing murmured: "What do Lian and Di Yu have in common?"
"First, you are all emperors.
.Xiong Xian said softly.
"Of course Jiajing nodded.
"Then, none of your fathers are emperors," Xiong Xian whispered again.
Jiajing was finally moved. He was still familiar with the story of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. The Emperor Camp was Huangdi’s great-grandson, his grandfather was named Xuanxiao and his father was Roji. Because Huangdi reigned for a long time, Xuanxiao did not succeed him. In the end, Roji’s brother Heying succeeded him. At the age of seventeen, Di Yu helped his uncle Hesheng to govern the government. After he died, he passed the throne to him, at the age of thirty.
Only then did he realize that his life with this ancient emperor was so consistent. If he really died, then his father Xian Emperor was Juji, and Emperor Xiaozong was Jingdi. Although he inherited the throne in his teens, the national affairs were all in the hands of ministers and civil servants. It was not until he was thirty that he established his own authority and truly looked like an emperor." In his heart, he had an arrogant view. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, only two emperors, Taizu and Chengzu, can be called supreme. The rest are cowardly, not worthy of their names and are not considered real emperors at all.
That night, Jiajing dreamed that he had become one of the Five Emperors, Emperor Yu, who was wise and powerful, swept away the **, and all the worlds came to pay tribute. After seventy years of imperial power, he finally ascended to heaven. What made him even more excited was that he had regained his male spirit. He could not fall down at night, which really made him laugh even if he dreamed.
Finally, Jiajing was awakened by his laughter. He realized that this was a dream after waking up. But when he touched it, he was really hard and couldn't help but be overjoyed. He immediately asked someone to tell the concubines to sleep. It was midnight, and the emperor had been in a state of being close to women for many years. In order to avoid causing sad things, he asked the concubines to live far away. Now he suddenly wanted to find someone to sleep with him. Of course, he could not come as soon as possible.
The eunuchs rushed over for half an hour and carried a young and beautiful concubine over. Only when they saw the emperor's frustrated face, they heard the emperor say, "You are late."
Although I didn't catch up this time, Jiajing firmly believed that he was the reincarnation of the Emperor! And the more I thought about it, the more I felt that this statement was really wonderful to use, love, poverty!
After a day of consideration, he attracted Xiong Xian and asked: "How long will it take to practice?
"Caomin is dull and successful for ten years." Xiong Xian said: "You are the reincarnation of the emperor, and you are much more powerful than Caomin. Maybe it will be done soon.
When he heard that the time was so short, Jiajing was impulsive and said, "Okay, I will grant you the third-grade Guardian Master the National First, and I will be given a bullfighting uniform. I will teach you the joint practice from now on!"
"Thank you, Long Eun" Xiong Xian looked embarrassed: "But you can't practice immediately
"Why?" Jiajing said: "Are there any conditions?"
"The emperor is wise." Xiong Xian said: "Because this method focuses on the induction of heaven and man, before practicing, you must find the breath of the imperial camp in order to achieve twice the result with half the effort. "Oh, where can you find it?" Jiajing Ran said.
"The Emperor's Lecture Ling Xiong Xian said softly.
