Rise From the Humble

As soon as he entered the palace where Emperor Jiajing practiced immortality and alchemy, Mr. Yan Ge was surrounded by the scent of sandalwood. It was still cold in spring outside, and it was extremely hot in the palace.

However, our Mr. Yan Ge has already adapted to this fragrance and temperature, and his face is neither red nor out of breath.

The entire hall was brightly lit, with sandalwood and candles burning everywhere. In the middle of the hall, there is an alchemy furnace that is as tall as a person and surrounded by two dragons and beads. Seven-color flames are burning under the alchemy furnace, and a swirling smoke is emitted from the top of the alchemy furnace. Next to the alchemy furnace is a Tai Chi Bagua mat, which is made of gold, white jade and various precious materials. This Tai Chi Bagua mat alone can last ordinary people for thousands of years.

Sitting cross-legged on the Bagua mat is a somewhat handsome middle-aged man wearing a thick blue Bagua Taoist robe. He may have taken too much heavy metal elixir and looks a little thin, but he has a strong imperial majesty about him. From time to time, he also put some strange but extremely precious fuel into the alchemy furnace.

This person wearing a blue cloth Bagua Taoist robe is no ordinary person.

This man is the greatest alchemist in the world, the most powerful alchemist in the world, the best at alchemy among powerful people, the most powerful among alchemists, and the helmsman of the largest empire in the world today - the Ming Empire. , Emperor Jiajing, the eleventh generation monarch of the Ming Dynasty. The current Taoist title is Lei Yuanyang Miaoyifei Yuan Zhenjun, the Supreme Qing Emperor of Lingxiao. This Taoist title can only be possessed by Taoist gods, but who would let him be the emperor?

In the past two days, Jiajing Emperor Jue's practice has improved again, and he wants to add a Taoist title to himself: "Nine Heavens Hongjiao Puji Creatures Palm Yin Yang Gong Guo Da Dao Siren Purple Extreme Immortal Weng Yiyang Zhen Yuan Xu Xuan Ying Enlightens Subduing Demons Zhongxiao Dijun" ", I will become a fairy in the future, so I can show off in the sky, and it is currently in the planning stage.

In fact, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were quite individual. Jiajing's cousin, Emperor Zhengde, was a genius with liberalism. Forgive me for being a bohemian and loving freedom. He liked horse racing and fighting all day long. He also liked to play Cao Cao when he had nothing to do. The same way he did, just chatting with married women under quilts; Emperor Jiajing was different from his brother. He loved peace and quiet. His biggest hobby was to stay at home and refine elixirs, and then add a bunch of weird gods to himself. Road number.

"Chen Song, pay homage to the real person."

Mr. Yan Ge entered the palace. Then he kowtowed and saluted to Emperor Jiajing devoutly and skillfully. When ordinary ministers saw Emperor Jiajing, they would kneel down and shout, "Long live your majesty, long live, long live, long live your majesty." However, Yan Song was different from others. What he shouted was to pay homage to the real person.

Regardless of Yan Song's age, his voice is still as loud as ever.

In addition to the difference in the address in his mouth, the way Yan Ge Lao kowtowed is also different from ordinary ministers. Yan Song's prostration is a standard Taoist prostration method.

Elder Yan Ge knelt on the ground in strict accordance with the Taoist prostration ceremony, with his head on the back of his hands, his old face smiling like a flower, and he shouted that Chen Song had kowtowed to see the real person.

"Get up, Weizhong." Sitting on the Tai Chi gossip mat, Emperor Jiajing couldn't help smiling when he heard Yan Song's prostration. It's still Yan Song who understands what I mean. Just now, Xu Jie called me three times long live, but it's not as comforting as Yan Song's words.

Hearing Emperor Jiajing call him Weizhong, Yan Song's old face was very happy. The Holy Majesty did not call him by his name, but called him by his own name. It can be seen that the Holy Majesty still favors him, and his holy family is still there.

"Thank you, Master." Yan Song smiled like a flower on his old face, then got up and stood respectfully aside.

Emperor Jiajing added some fuel to the alchemy furnace. Looking at the burning Wang Shi, he nodded in satisfaction, patted the charcoal on his hands, and got up from the Tai Chi Eight Diagrams Mat.

Huang Jin gave Emperor Jiajing some water to cleanse and wipe his hands with a wink, and then ordered the small Huangmen to bring a chair embroidered with Bagua and dragon patterns for Emperor Jiajing to sit on. After Emperor Jiajing sat down, he was extra kind and asked a young eunuch to move a chair for Yan Song. Yan Song was moved and knelt down to thank him before sitting down.

After Emperor Jiajing waited for Yan Song to sit down, he began to chat. As they chatted, the topic turned to the upcoming examination.

"Wei Zhong, how is Xu Jie doing in this test?" Emperor Jiajing asked casually.

Based on this sentence, Yan Song had already concluded that the emperor had already made up his mind to choose Xu Jie as the person to host the examination. No wonder the old boy Xu Jie just raised his tail, it turned out to be this. Isn't it just hosting an audition? What's the use of a bunch of young guys? However, it's time to spank this old boy Xu Jie.

"Chen Jue's Xu Shangshu is the best candidate to take charge of the examination." Yan Song replied with certainty.

"Oh, why?" Jiajing narrowed his eyes and asked with interest.

"Xu Shangshu's poetry and calligraphy are outstanding. To this day, Xu Shangshu continues to write, and many famous works have been published. It is Xu Shangshu's strength that he is in charge of the examination."

"Xu Shangshu used to supervise the Imperial College. He has quite a lot of experience in disciplining students and is good at supervising students. It will be no problem for him to take charge of the examinations."

"In recent days, I have observed that Xu Shangshu has been very diligent, attentive to government affairs, and has managed the Ministry of Rites in an orderly manner. In all the examinations, promotions, promotions, awards, and transfers of officials, Xu Shangshu has done his best to fulfill his responsibilities, is fair and selfless, and is really the work of his ministers. Role model.”

"Xu Shangshu also has many excellent works on Zhai Jiao Qing Ci."

"."

"In a word, Xu Shangshu is both talented and dedicated. He is indeed the best candidate for this examination."

In just a short while, Yan Song praised Xu Jie over and over again, including his good poetry and calligraphy, his rich management experience, his hard work, fairness and selflessness, his excellent poetry, and his talent. , etc., in short, Yan Song was full of praise for Xu Jie and repeatedly emphasized Xu Jie's advantages. If it weren't for the limited time, Yan Ge could always praise Xu Jie here all day and night.

If Xu Jie was on the side, he would definitely blush. I will definitely take Yan Song's hand and say with emotion, hey, I never thought that you are a real person, Lao Yan.

Emperor Jiajing nodded repeatedly while listening to Yan Song's evaluation of Xu Jie, appreciating Yan Song even more.

Did Yan Song get kicked in the head by a donkey? When he saw Xu Jie outside just now, he was still thinking about spanking this old boy. Why is he acting like a coward now, kneeling down to touch Xu Jie without moral integrity? !

Seeing Emperor Jiajing's admiring eyes on him, Yan Song praised Xu Jie even more vigorously.

"Xu Jie is worthy of being the pillar of our court."

After Yan Song pushed Xu Jie to the height of a pillar, he sighed, and then added a sentence in an understatement;

"It's just that Xu Shangshu has been running to His Royal Highness Yuwang more frequently recently, and I'm afraid he doesn't have enough time."

Just such a sentence, at first glance, is an understatement, but it has no deep meaning when you look closely.

Emperor Jiajing stopped nodding when he heard the words, and then nodded heavily, the beautiful image of Xu Jie in his heart suddenly collapsed.

He always goes to the third child. Xu Jie has second thoughts. A few months ago, Xu Jie wrote to him to establish a prince. It is said that this boy has already submitted three or four memorials to establish a prince. He always runs to the third child, no wonder.

This kid really wants me to ride a crane back to the west!

Emperor Jiajing had already made a big cross for Xu Jie in his heart and relegated Xu Jie to the cold palace. He was not going to reuse Xu Jie as a second-eyed boy again! Xu Jie has violated the deepest taboo in Emperor Jiajing's heart. Why did Emperor Jiajing practice immortality and elixirs? It was not for the sake of immortality and unification for tens of thousands of years. You, Xu Jie, are so anxious to make arrangements for me. You are so cruel. ah!

Yan Song was very familiar with Emperor Jiajing. Seeing Emperor Jiajing's expression, Yan Song smiled silently in his heart, "Xu Jie, you still want to fight me, you little chicken, you're so young!"

So what if I praise you a hundred words;

One word is enough to hold you down! Now let’s see how you can fight with me. Even if your wings are not strong, you want to fight an eagle. Humph!

Thank you very much for your support. I finally added a chapter today.
