Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 105 Kill Zhu Houcong?

Damn, this is too disgusting!
Those dignitaries are really full!Why would you want to eat something so disgusting?

It's smelly, why don't they eat shit!
How good it is to eat by yourself, and it also beautifies the environment!
It's fucking unbelievable!What is the mind thinking!

"How is it possible? Why eat those things? What do those people think?"

Qin Shao couldn't believe it.

"My lord is a man of integrity, so I naturally don't understand those people's dirty minds. There has long been a saying in Taoism that women's sunflower water is extremely yin. Refining elixir and eating it is equivalent to picking yin. It can not only make the body Healthy, long-lived, and strong yang and prolific offspring."

"Some rich and powerful families bought many girls as maids, and many of them grew up to make red lead pills for consumption."

Han Jinrong's face was full of righteous indignation.

"Since it is a bought girl who will be married as a concubine once a month, and they are not short of money, more concubines should be enough, so why buy so many girls?"

Did those people have money to burn?Anyway, they are rich, marry more concubines, eat their own women, and Zhou Gong beats Huang Gai, as long as he wants to fight.

"I don't know, the conditions for their refining this kind of elixir are extremely harsh."

When Han Jinrong talked about the conditions for making those pills, Qin Shao couldn't help shouting that he was abnormal.

Damn, who the hell came up with this? Pay attention, it's really perverted to the extreme.

Refining those red lead pills not only requires a large amount of heavenly sunflower (that is, sunflower water), but also requires very high requirements for the women who need it:

Healthy women with clear eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, dark complexion, delicate skin, neither fat nor thin, three rounds of facial features, and the same length. , but also available.

The selected women must also be beautiful and have a graceful figure. The best age is thirteen or fourteen years old. Some people have calculated that girls around 5048 days after birth are the best.

After taking the sunflower water, put it in a silverware, then put it into a mortar, add ebony water, dry it seven times in a row, add milk powder, cinnabar, Nanman pine resin, and autumn stone, and then refine it with fire.

In short, the required woman must be young, beautiful and flawless, and it is best for the first time in Kuishui.

Such harsh conditions naturally required a large number of virgins.

The reason why those people chose to do it today is probably because there are a large number of young girls suffering from all kinds of diseases, and the women on that bridge are all unmarried women.

"Law of the Ming Dynasty": The man's side is sixteen, the woman's side is fourteen, and they are allowed to marry, otherwise they will not be married.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, women generally do not get married until they are 14 years old.

The reason is actually that ordinary girls usually come to Kuishui when they are around 14 years old, which also means that they have matured and are considered adults of this age.

These women who can go to the bridge to pray for blessings are all unmarried, usually around 14 years old or younger.

It fits the requirements of those people very well, and it is much more convenient for them to screen and cast their nets all over the sky if so many meet the conditions at once.

No wonder those people took such a big risk to do it tonight!
In addition, there are people on the bridge deliberately disturbing and screening people, there are boats snatching away under the bridge, and there are people on the shore to respond.

This should have been planned for a long time!

It's just that on this important festival, and the county government and the state government have sent patrolling crowds, dare to be so blatant, what is the origin of this?
Dare to be so bold!
Qin Shao suddenly remembered Tian Wu's surprised eyes looking at the courtyard in his direction.

That courtyard!

That courtyard!

Qin Shao suddenly remembered whose courtyard that courtyard belonged to!
He remembered that when he was a temporary strongman, he led a group of yamen servants to patrol the city every day, and became familiar with many places and courtyards.

At that time, someone mentioned that the courtyard was luxurious, and it looked like a manor. I heard that there were several hot springs in it.

And there is only one person in Quan'an Luzhou who can own such a luxurious manor, and that is King Xing.

Yes, that courtyard belonged to King Xing Zhu Youzhao.

Could it be?Could it be that King Xing refined and ate those pills?
Not so much!

Qin Shao thought about King Xing's stern expression, and it was difficult to connect him with eating red lead pills.

And when I was talking about King Xing's illness with Zhou Wencai, I also asked what medicine King Xing took, but Zhou Wencai didn't mention this medicine.

Moreover, Zhou Wencai believed in orthodox Chinese medical treatment and research, not crooked ways.

If that person lived in the previous life, he should also be a good doctor who respects science.

And because of his grandfather's illness in his previous life, even though Qin Shao didn't study medicine, he read a lot of medical books.

Especially when western medicine could not cure grandpa's condition, they tried a lot of traditional Chinese medicine, even though western medicine was the main treatment in the end.

Because Chinese medicine is good, but there are too many fools who hang pictures of Chinese medicine without anything in them.

In order to better understand the end, Qin Shao read many medical books, including Zhou Wencai's "Selected Medical Prescriptions" and "Surgical Collection of Proven Prescriptions". Later generations of surgeons also highly respected Zhou Wencai.

And according to the historical data he knew, Zhou Wencai compiled these two medical books under the order of King Xing Zhu Youzhao.

A prince who believes in surgery should not be able to refine medicine, right?
And Zhou Wencai also said that the reason why King Xing was looking at it mysteriously and wearing Taoist clothes was actually for self-cultivation.

King Xing agrees with Taoism's idea of ​​self-cultivation, but he doesn't really believe in immortality.

Since he doesn't believe in cultivating immortals, he shouldn't try to refine elixir!

If it wasn't King Xing, then who should be refining the red lead pellets?
A figure flashed in Qin Shao's mind. Even though he hadn't read much history, he had seen that TV series, the emperor in Taoist robes!
Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong who was obsessed with cultivating Taoism and alchemy!
Qin Shao suddenly remembered!

When Zhu Houcong was in power, there was a murder of a court lady.

Qin Shao actually didn't know much about the history of Daming during the Zhengde period, that is, some historical knowledge he learned when he was in school.

The understanding of Zhu Houcong during his administration also benefited from the popularity of the TV series "Daming 1566".

At that time, I was very curious. In the play, Jiajing was served by a group of eunuchs, and there was not a single lady in the palace.

Looking at the barrage, someone said that because of the murder of a court lady in Jiajing Palace, the old boy was scared.

Out of curiosity, Qin Shao flicked through the information for a while, and there really was a court lady conspiring to investigate the case.

The general story is that Jiajing abused the court ladies. A court lady named Yang Jinying organized more than a dozen court ladies to resist. While Zhu Houcong was sleeping, she wrapped Zhu Houcong's neck with a yellow silk cloth in an attempt to kill him.

It's just that a court lady told Queen Fang because she was afraid of betrayal, and Queen Fang arrived in time to save Zhu Houcong.

All the maids involved in that incident were executed with their backs to Ling Chi, and two concubines were also beheaded.

Zhu Houcong was also frightened and dared not sleep in that place, so he moved to Xiyuan ever since.

At that time, when Qin Shao was reading those materials, he mentioned red lead pills, but he didn't pay attention to this thing.

It is thought that the murder occurred because Zhu Houcong took the elixir and lost his mind and abused the maid.

Now it seems that the maid should be used to make the elixir, and the maid resisted because she couldn't stand it!
Grandma, this old boy is really perverted!

This Jiajing seems to have a very bad attitude towards his own wife. Among them, a pregnant queen was a little bit jealous, and she was mistreated by him and had a miscarriage.

Thinking about it, it's not as good as Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao's pity for fragrance and jade.

Zhu Houzhao is just playful. During his time in power, he never abused or killed officials and their family members. He went to play in the officials' territory, and he was not angry if the officials didn't give face.

Some officials were sick and went to visit other people's homes.

In this comparison, Zhu Houzhao is more manly!
But now that Zhu Houcong is less than 12 years old, has he already started refining elixir?

Qin Shao remembered that he had gone to Xingwang's mansion to see the sick King Xing, and it seemed that the princess was also "pleading guilty" outside.

Could it be that the princess took her son Zhu Houcong to make alchemy?
If so, what a "good mother" she was!
Concubine Xing Jiang seems to be quite strong. After Zhu Houcong became emperor, she was able to go to Shangjing to fight toughly with Empress Zhang of Ming Xiaozong. She should not be a weak and virtuous person.

Of course, because of her own son, she eventually became the winner.

I heard that Queen Zhang was often abused in the harem later.

"Master, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have participated in such activities. From now on, I will stay at home and not go out."

Han Jinrong said tearfully that even though they encountered various dangers during their escape, they were still terrified this time.

Hearing that this matter also involved the powerful, worried that they would not be able to offend them and cause trouble for Qin Shao and the others, Han Jinrong felt very guilty.

"It's not your fault. The thief has a heart, and you can't hide it. But this must be kept secret in advance. From tomorrow onwards, you don't go out. If you want to buy something, just let Xiao Sanzi go!"

Qin Shao exhorted.

"it is good!"

The night was dark, and Qin Shao lay in bed for a long time unable to fall asleep.

He has seen those thieves, he is a witness, and Tian Wu also knows.

If there is no accident, the county government will ask him to question him tomorrow.

If I testify against King Xing's mansion, won't I offend King Xing?

Not to mention offending King Xing, but to be the future emperor himself, isn't that courting death?
If you don't do it, those innocent girls...
