Mingshi

Chapter 1430
At this moment, no matter whether you are rich or poor, you can temporarily let go of the dissatisfaction in your heart and enjoy this once-a-year happy time.

Logically speaking, as the center of China, Daming's palace should be more lively.And it has been true throughout the ages.However, it happened to be different during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.This is because Emperor Jiajing practiced Taoism, he was too forgetful, and he didn't like this kind of excitement.

What Taishang Wangqing pays attention to is killing love, how can we celebrate this kind of festival of reunion and love?

However, the fact that Emperor Jiajing is not a new year does not mean that those court ladies and eunuchs are not.It’s just that I dare not spend it blatantly, but I also secretly get some delicious food and drink, and how to get together to make money is also a taste of the New Year.

Inside Yuxi Palace.

There is no trace of the year, it is very quiet, like a ghost palace.Rows of candles flickered like will-o'-the-wisps.

In this silence, amidst the candlelight placed according to the position of Tiangangdisha, Emperor Jiajing, wearing a black Taoist robe, sat there cross-legged.The candlelight is flickering, the blue smoke is misty, and Emperor Jiajing looks like a god.

Every family in the Ming Dynasty invited different gods, probably all the three gods of fortune, prosperity and longevity, but as the master of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Jiajing, who was devoted to cultivating the Tao, naturally would not invite such a small god, he invited the one who lived in the 33rd heaven Taishang Laojun.

When Emperor Jiajing was young, when he first started to practice Taoism, he prayed to the gods at the age of thirty, and his mind was not peaceful, and many things came to his mind one after another.But as he grows older, the time of cultivating Taoism becomes longer. Whenever this time, he really seems to be forgetting his feelings, and his state of mind will reach a kind of ethereal, as if he is in communion with the old emperor. , I feel that I can hear the Taishang Laojun teaching the way of heaven and earth in my ear.

Therefore, he attaches great importance to asking God on the thirteenth year every year!
However, today he was still sitting there with his legs crossed, but his heart couldn't calm down, and he couldn't reach that ethereal state, let alone listen to the preaching of the Supreme Lord.After persisting for a long time, not only did he not feel ethereal, but he became more irritable.With sadness in his eyes, he sighed softly and murmured in a low voice:

"Old Ancestor, have you abandoned your disciple?"

At the thought of being abandoned by the Taishang Laojun, distracting thoughts arose in my heart.I saw a few figures in a daze, they were very beautiful, and when I looked closely, they were Empress Zhang, Empress Fang, Empress Chen and others. These empresses were favored by Emperor Jiajing when his Taoist heart was not strong, and they had a deep love for them. I have the impression that I also paid affection for them at the beginning.

At this time, these beautiful women seemed to be whispering to him, expressing their longing.

Emperor Jiajing's mood became more and more agitated, he closed his eyes, trying to make himself too forgetful, then suddenly opened his eyes and shouted:
"If you want to move my heart, get out!"

The figures of those women dispersed, Emperor Jiajing let out a breath slowly, his irritable mood calmed down slightly, and a smug look appeared in his eyes.Congratulations on the strength of your Dao heart.But then his eyes froze, and he saw three figures appear, namely Prince Aichong, Prince Zhuang Jing and King Jing.

Before the two dragons did not meet each other, Emperor Jiajing loved Prince Aichong and Prince Zhuang Jing very much. At this time, Prince Aichong and Prince Zhuang Jing were showing love and longing, but King Jing was He pointed at Emperor Jiajing and cursed.

Emperor Jiajing closed his eyes again, and silently recited the Tao Te Ching in his heart, then suddenly opened his eyes again, and shouted:
"roll!"

The figures of Prince Ai Chong, Prince Zhuang Jing and King Jing shattered instantly.Just as Emperor Jiajing let out a long breath, his expression froze. He saw Emperor Xingxian and Empress Dowager Zhang Sheng appear in front of him, that is, his parents.A look of horror appeared on his face.

"Father and Queen Mother, is it possible that the time for your son has come, are you here to pick him up?"

Then his expression became ferocious again: "I am a cultivator of the Tao, I will achieve true results and go straight to the heaven. If I want to be too forgetful, I have already cut off my kindness with you, so don't come here to bewitch me and get out of here. "

The shadows of Emperor Xingxian and Empress Dowager Zhang Sheng were shattered, and Emperor Jiajing hunched over, panting heavily, covered in cold sweat.

"Ta Tata..."

The sound of light footsteps was very clear in the silent hall. Emperor Jiajing suddenly raised his head and looked at him with a ferocious expression. He almost sat down on the ground in fright when he came over, and shouted tremblingly:
"His Majesty!"

Emperor Jiajing took a deep breath. He saw so many dead people just now. Now that he saw the living Huang Jin standing in front of him, Emperor Jiajing felt as if he had returned to the world from the cold hell. His heart skipped a beat. warm.The ferocious look also eased.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing Emperor Jiajing's expression calm down, Huang Jin's heart relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face and said:
"Your Majesty, it's time to eat dumplings."

Emperor Jiajing looked up, and saw behind Huang Jin, a little eunuch carrying a food box.

Thinking of the dumplings in the food box, Emperor Jiajing's stomach growled twice.He now felt that his whole body was icy cold, and the experience just now made him feel like he had gone through hell.I am very eager to eat some warm human food.Then nodded and said:

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Huang Jin felt even more joyful, and asked the little eunuch to go down, and personally moved a small table, placed it in front of Emperor Jiajing, opened the food box, brought out a plate of steaming dumplings, and placed it on the small table.Then he took out shallots, garlic, vinegar, etc., placed a small bowl on Xiaodie, and brought a pair of ivory chopsticks to Emperor Jiajing with both hands.

Emperor Jiajing took the chopsticks, picked up a dumpling and ate it. He felt his cold stomach warm up immediately, and the chill on his body gradually dissipated. A smile appeared on his face.

After eating a small bowl, I felt full, my hands and feet were warm, and I drank another small bowl of dumpling soup, then waved my hand to show that I was done eating.Huang Jin packed the dishes into the food box and asked the little eunuch to take the food box out.Huang Jin brought tea to Emperor Jiajing again, and stood aside silently.

The hall fell silent again. Emperor Jiajing closed his eyes and remained silent for a while.Huang Jin was already used to it, standing there with his head slightly lowered, he was not too young, standing there at this moment, exhaustion hit his heart, and fell asleep drowsily.

"Huang Banban!"

Emperor Jiajing opened his mouth suddenly, and Huang Jin woke up from his long-term habit immediately, and he heard Emperor Jiajing's tone hesitantly say:
"Do you think I can succeed in cultivating immortals?"

"Yes, definitely!"

Huang Jin opened his mouth and came. As someone close to Emperor Jiajing, how could he not know that Emperor Jiajing was already obsessed with cultivating Taoism, and it was impossible to persuade him. Once he persuaded him, he might be beaten to death by Emperor Jiajing.He is not a scholar, just a eunuch, a domestic slave of Emperor Jiajing.
