The three of them were checking around the box, while Bai Yi put a lot of gold and silver ingots in his pocket. He couldn't put it down and was about to pick it up and put it on when he suddenly heard a "clucking" sound behind him.
"The three people were horrified by the sound, and turned their heads in unison...
As soon as Tang Sancheng turned around, his eyes immediately widened. He grabbed Qixie's wrist with one hand, and covered his mouth tightly with the other hand to prevent himself from screaming. Bai Yi beside him
He Qixie also made bursts of strange sounds in his throat, as if he was trying his best to control his vocal cords and not make any obvious sounds...
Tang Sancheng had only heard of what was happening in front of him from stories told by his father. The old emperor, who had been lying in the white marble coffin just now as deathly as ashes, had now sat up, with a ruddy face and bright eyes, and was watching with interest.
Bai Yi suddenly understood the three people in front of him and said in a low voice: "It's that bottle of medicine, Tang Sancheng, and it's you who did it again!"
Tang Sancheng looked bitter when he thought about the drop of medicine he accidentally dropped into the emperor's mouth. However, there is actually a medicine in the world that can bring people back to life. It's unbelievable! Look at the old emperor trying to move his hands and feet. Three people
Looking at him silently, there was no sound in the entire apse. It was like a silent movie. The atmosphere was very strange. I don’t know how long it had passed before the old emperor looked happy and said: "I am indeed immortal."
!”
He carefully climbed out of the white marble coffin, jumped to the stone floor, and stared at the three of them closely: "Hey, you three are not my attendants, who are you?"
Bai Yi saw a red arc-shaped scar on the emperor's neck, and suddenly understood who was in front of him - Emperor Jiajing! The origin of this scar is famous.
Late at night on December 21, 1542 AD, the palace maids headed by Yang Jinying decided to revolt and took advantage of Emperor Jiajing's sleep to strangle him with a hemp rope. Unexpectedly, in panic, the palace maids tied the hemp rope into a tight knot, and the result was only
Emperor Jiajing was frightened and fainted, but did not die. At this time, one of the timid palace maids was afraid and reported it to Queen Fang. Queen Fang immediately brought people to rescue him and subdued the palace girls. Emperor Jiajing survived the disaster, and the palace ladies
All were arrested and executed by Lingchi a few days later. Moreover, even Concubine Duan, who served Emperor Jiajing at that time, was also beheaded. Since this incident occurred in the Renyin year of Jiajing (the 21st year of Jiajing, 1542 AD), so
Later historians called it the "Renyin Palace Incident".
Tang Sancheng took a breath and talked to the living emperor: "Where are the followers now? It's 1981, and there is no such thing as an emperor in the world."
Bai Yi had a plan in mind and shouted loudly: "Zhu Houcong! The feudal system is being swept away outside. You, the emperor, are the target of arrest. Brothers, let's catch him and send him out in exchange for a reward."
With that said, Bai Yi lifted up the clothes around his waist and showed off a circle of flying knives on his waist.
Zhu Houcong was so frightened that his legs weakened: "Why, is someone rebelling again?"
The three of them suppressed their laughter. It seemed that the emperor had just regained his life and was completely confused about the current situation. Bai Yi took advantage of the situation and said, "Isn't that right? Now that someone has heard that you have been resurrected, they have sent soldiers to surround this place."
Stay, Zhu Houcong, you can't run away."
Zhu Houcong murmured in his mouth: "You guys let me live. All the gold and silver ingots here belong to you. What do you think?"
"Okay, but now we want you to answer all questions! What is this?" Bai Yi took out the jade medicine bottle.
"This is a magical medicine. It took twenty years to successfully develop it. If you take the elixir and turn it into water, you will live forever. You see, I am really alive, alive!" When he mentioned this, Zhu Houcong said
Completely forgetting his own situation: "Although I am weak and will die soon, if the alchemist had said that he could make me fake my death, given time, I will be able to live again. This medicine is what he put on my pillow."
Emperor Jiajing loved the magic of gods and Taoists, and wanted to live forever. He searched for alchemists and secret recipes everywhere, and many people became immortals because of this. Some scholars also entered the imperial court because they wrote Qingci (words for praying to heaven in Taoist rituals) for Emperor Jiajing.
When he became the prime minister, there was a popular saying at that time as the "Prime Minister of Qing Ci". Yan Song was one of the representative figures. He was good at writing Qing Ci and good at guessing the emperor's thoughts. Therefore, although Emperor Jiajing was well aware of Yan Song's corruption and perversion of the law, he was
Unwilling to deal with him, Yan Song presided over the affairs of the court, while he lived in the palace and concentrated on becoming an immortal and cultivating Taoism. During his 45 years in power, he actually did not serve as a council member for more than 20 years, and Yan Song held power for 17 years.
There are no key records in the history of the alchemist he mentioned. You must know that Zhu Houcong looked for many alchemists in his life, but this alchemist was obviously different. He really made Zhu Houcong come alive.
"Is this the alchemist who planned this tomb?" Tang Sancheng asked.
"Yes, I originally wanted to build a Taoist temple on it, but Fang Shi did not build a temple. It is really a pity." This Zhu Houcong was still thinking about the Taoist temple after his death. He was indeed an emperor obsessed with Taoism.
"Who is he?" Tang Sancheng felt that this was the key.
"The immortal master has naturally come from nowhere." Zhu Houcong glared at Tang Sancheng, as if blaming Tang Sancheng for asking a stupid question: "The alchemist is an expert outside the world, and his name is not important to him at all."
Damn it, the three of them actually cursed in their hearts at the same time. What the hell is this? If it's not important, why would you proudly leave a note? If you really don't care, is it necessary to show off like this? This damn tomb
, tormenting everyone to death, an outsider? Well, I have to count as one.
"Have my two beloved concubines survived?" Zhu Houcong suddenly missed his two beloved concubines. Of these two beloved concubines, one of them, Bai Yi and Qi Xie, had already met, and the other one should be there.
In the left tomb, it seemed that he loved these two concubines very much and would take them with him on his journey to immortality. Zhu Houcong suddenly bowed deeply to Bai Yi: "This benevolent man, I still need this bottle of potion."
Go and resurrect the two beloved concubines, thank you!!"
They all said that Emperor Jiajing was fatuous, but now he really saw it. They told him that someone outside was going to arrest him, and that his own life was in danger. He was so lustful that he missed his beloved concubine, and he didn't understand the situation, so he went straight to Bai Yi.
Asking for the jade bottle, Tang Sancheng said "uh" and was about to tease the emperor when he suddenly saw Zhu Houcong roll his eyes, the whites of his eyes were exposed, his hands were tightly covering his chest, his complexion instantly turned purple, and his forehead kept shaking.
The ground was sweating, and there was something going up and down in the throat, which looked very scary...
