Chapter 1,179 The reason why Bajie lost his temper
Xiyuan Longevity Palace.
Jiajing walked into the monastery and came to the Tai Chi and Bagua bed.
Ever since Long Po's true form was forced out of Shoudao Nei, he has not been back to this place where he practiced in the past, which seems to have triggered the unbearable feeling of looking back during the Renyin Palace incident.
It wasn't until the good news from Lu Bing and Ouyang Bijin was sent to the capital, confirming that the threat of the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum had been lifted, and that Princess Wan Sheng and Long Po had completely lost the chance to threaten them, that they returned, sat on the futon, and made a fugue
Baji sat in a posture with his eyes slowly closed.
After a long time, Jiajing opened his eyes. Lu Fang had already presented the elixir to him without waving his hands.
He ate an elixir that he had refined. It was very sweet, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He was very satisfied. Lu Fang saw this and took the opportunity to say, "Master, Mr. Yan Ge is waiting outside."
Jiajing clicked his chin: "Let Wei Zhong come in."
Yan Song, wearing an agarwood leaf crown, walked in slowly: "Old minister, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
Jiajing said: "Give me a seat."
The eunuch on duty brought a mahogany stool about one foot square with a hollow pattern and placed it behind Yan Song.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Yan Song thanked him, he slowly sat down and found that the stool was warm, as if there was a small stove inside.
Yan Song was from Jiangxi. As soon as he sat down, he knew that this was a fire barrel that the old people in the south used to sit on in the cold winter. He quickly stood up and said solemnly: "How can there be smoke and fire in your majesty's monastery? I can't break the rules of heaven."
!」
Jiajing smiled, and Lu Fang explained: "This is a gift from the Lord Long Live to Mr. Yange. The thing burning in it is not charcoal, but sandalwood. Mr. Yange, please sit down!"
Yan Song slowly sat down and said, "Your Majesty is so kind to me, it is hard for me to bear it..."
Jiajing said: "There are more than seventy people. We have been waiting outside for a long time. I am afraid that our bodies and bones cannot bear it. As for the smoke and smoke in the Jingshe, according to the cabinet, the Jingshe has bad luck and will demolish my Jinluan Hall."
reconstruction?"
Yan Song's face turned pale with shock. He stood up from the mahogany stool again. Just as he was about to explain, he heard the emperor's voice rising: "Look, can I still suppress the bad luck of the dragon mother?"
Yan Song didn't dare to look, so he immediately fell to the ground: "I'm confused! I'm confused!"
"Go and help Mr. Yan Ge up."
When Lu Fang helped Yan Song back to the stool, Jiajing said calmly: "Although there is a female official in the court, I know your loyalty. This matter should not be expanded. At this point, the evildoer in the palace has been eliminated."
, the matter of rebuilding the Wanshou Palace... needless to say more!"
Yan Song lowered his head and his eyes flashed: "Yes!"
Based on his understanding of His Majesty, the proposal to rebuild the Longevity Palace is actually very much in line with his wishes, but it is not in line with the current situation of the treasury.
As the de facto Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Jiajing knew very well that the Ming Dynasty had already begun to overtax its budget and overrun its budget every year. If this continued, unless the weather went smoothly and there were no disasters, the deficit would only become more serious.
To be honest, if a fire breaks out now and the Longevity Palace is burned down, there will be no money to rebuild it in a short time, let alone the palace. Since Long Po once hid in it, it would be too difficult to destroy it directly.
It wastes people and money.
Of course, this is also because Long Po is a real dragon after all. If it is really a filthy monster, Jiajing will not care about it for the sake of his own practice.
Now that Yan Song had said what he wanted but could not achieve, Jiajing was very pleased. In addition, in addition to several major events recently, the ministers and ministers, the head of the cabinet, had very marginal participation, so he was comforted.
Yan Song sat down for the third time, feeling more at ease and feeling that his son Yan Shifan's idea was useful.
Yan Shifan is in charge of the Ministry of Works. If he builds the Longevity Palace, he will naturally enrich his own pockets. If he doesn't build it, it will also add some trouble to Jiajing. Let this man who sees things and thinks about people firmly remember what Tao Zhongwen did. Since Tao Zhongwen is so bold, then the same
As a heavenly master, Li Shizhen may also commit crimes in the future.
The likes and dislikes of a person are accumulated from these little things...
However, as the chief minister, Yan Song had to go to such great lengths to deal with a person who had no foundation in the court.
I couldn't be happy, and I thought about everything about the next match between the king and his ministers, and used all their scheming.
Jiajing didn't have this consideration at first, and his perspective was different. Yan Song always felt that after Li Shizhen came to power, his power would be greatly affected. However, in Jiajing's eyes, the Heavenly Master was in charge of religion, and the cabinet was in charge of secular matters, so neither side could compete...
But gradually, the extremely intelligent and sensitive Emperor Ming also noticed it. When Yan Song finished his report, he stepped back tremblingly and commented with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Yan Ge still has a prejudice against Mr. Li. Let's let him
Wenfu blended and blended."
Lu Fang knew that this long-lived man was happy to see conflicts between important ministers and important officials, so he could only listen to these words and not respond.
Sure enough, Jiajing's next words are the key point: "This time, Zhenren Li stabilized the country and made outstanding contributions, but he did not like fame and fortune. If Wenfu hadn't persuaded him, he might have traveled around the world, cured diseases and practiced cultivation. This title
Is it better to hold the Celestial Master's ceremony more grandly or more simply?"
Lu Fang knew that he could listen to these words honestly.
After Tao Zhongwen asked and beheaded, his spiritual practice naturally fell on the new heavenly master. Long live the Lord was really trying to figure out that person's attitude and follow his preferences.
Although he was not used to it, as the most considerate person around Jiajing, Lu Fang immediately said: "When Master Li returns to Beijing, I will greet him and find out my feelings."
"You can share my worries."
Jiajing nodded lightly. As Lu Fang's position as internal minister was sufficient, and as an eunuch he could spare his face, so it was most appropriate for him to step forward on his behalf.
Thinking of getting rid of Tao Zhongwen, who had a big tail, and replacing him with a Taoist doctor who had no foundation but outstanding ability, Jiajing couldn't help but feel happy, and said in a longing tone: "I wonder where Master Li is now, and when will he come back to do this?"
Where am I giving lectures?"
…
The Main Hall of Ci'en Temple.
Li Yan, who had completely forgotten about Jiajing, handed the offerings to the dragon girl and warned, "Relax and just follow the way you talked in the past."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The dragon girl nodded, transformed into a heroic little white dragon, entered the room, placed the offerings, and waited silently.
Once there were abundant spiritual fruits on the confession, the aura of the Purification Altar Messenger appeared quickly, and he came to the hall with ease, grabbed the big pear and gnawed it. Even though he was not here in person, the juice still splashed from the meal.
Dragon Girl had prepared her lyrics, but her rhythm was somewhat disrupted by this all-inclusive decision, and she could only watch him drifting away.
When the sweep was over, the fat-headed and big-eared Bajie wiped his mouth and said, "It's good to have Junior Brother Bailong. My mouth is full of pigs, and it's really uncomfortable these days when you're not around!"
The dragon girl pretended to sigh: "It's a pity that it's not easy to pick these spiritual fruits now, so we can't let the second senior brother eat them to his heart's content..."
Bajie patted his belly and said, "If you eat some, you won't lose. What are we going to talk about today? After we finish talking, I will go back to sleep."
The dragon girl thought to herself that this was the same as her, and hurriedly said: "I do have something to ask you!"
Bajie blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Just tell me, just tell me."
The dragon girl spread her hands, and the image captured by the Ruyi Orb appeared, and she introduced: "This is the deity worshiped by the new sect Luo Jiao. It is called Wusheng Old Mother. It appears in the world with the energy of nurturing. Second Senior Brother, take a look, does it look familiar?"
Bajie wondered: "Why can't you see your face clearly?"
The dragon girl said: "When that sect offered sacrifices, there was no statue of the god. Perhaps this was the reason for her birth. Of course, it is also possible that this god was just an old god and could not show its true face, so I wanted the second senior brother to identify it.
"
Bajie stared at it for a long time, then flapped his ears: "You can't see the face clearly, how can you identify it? You used to be the prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea, and you went in and out of heaven. If you can't recognize it, I don't know either..."
Dragon Girl said: "How many times have I entered the Heavenly Court? The second senior brother was once the Marshal of Tianpeng. He was honored at the Peach Festival and had friendship with gods and Buddhas all over the sky, so he can be easily recognized!"
Bajie waved his hands repeatedly: "The Peach Festival and the Yaochi Banquet will indeed invite all the deities of all palaces and halls, but the ones who really sit at the table are the Three Pure Ones and Four Emperors of the Upper Eight Cave, the Jade Emperor and the Nine Bases of the Middle Eight Cave.
"The leader of the Netherworld Cult of Xiaba Cave, the Five Elders of the Five Directions, the Five Dou Xing Lords, and I, the Buddha and Bodhisattva of the West, will be able to sit back and trust me, and I can't make friends with you!"
explain
As he spoke, he licked his lips and cried: "But the food at the Peach Festival is really endless. The delicacies are as delicious as all kinds of delicacies, and the exotic fruits and delicacies are the latest... No, no, no.
, the glutton has been aroused, I have to go back to sleep, otherwise I will be too hungry to sleep!"
"Second Senior Brother! Second Senior Brother!"
Seeing the pig demon's ears swell and suddenly fly up, the dragon girl called repeatedly, but she could only watch it disappear.
She was about to cry but had no tears. She stood blankly for a moment and walked out of the Main Hall.
Li Yan was located in the square not far away, looking at the huge incense burner in the temple with great interest.
The Dragon Girl stepped forward and said apologetically: "Before I had a chance to ask if he was similar to the Queen Mother, he ran away and all the offerings were eaten..."
Li Yan turned around and smiled: "Don't be discouraged. Although this conversation was brief, it was very helpful. The envoy of Jingtan lost his composure, which just shows that he may have seen this person's heel."
The dragon girl was a little surprised at first, and then she was horrified: "Then why didn't he say anything and left in a hurry? Is it really... the Queen Mother?"
That is the head of the female immortals in the three realms, and corresponds to the empress of the mother world in the human world. If she really appeared in the world in the form of an inanimate old mother, it would be terrible. What has become of heaven?
Li Yan shook his head gently: "On the contrary, his performance just now shows that there is no strong suspicion that this old mother without a child is the Queen Mother."
Dragon Girl wondered: "Why?"
Li Yan explained: "The envoy of Jingtan was Marshal Tianpeng in his previous life. He will definitely have the opportunity to come into contact with the Queen Mother, but the opportunities are definitely not many. For example, if you see her from a distance during the Peach Festival, you will not be very familiar with her."
"But he has not seen the real spirit just now. He only saw the projected image without a specific appearance. If his identity can be guessed in this way, it should not be the Queen Mother, but a more familiar deity with whom we have friendship..."
Dragon Girl suddenly realized: "It's fine if it's not, but in that case, there won't be much concern about the identity. You can guess it right away. Why are you running away?"
Thinking of the ginseng doll running away from Bajie and defecting to Wusheng Old Mother, Dragon Girl was shocked again: "Wouldn't he have been in contact with Wusheng Old Mother for a long time?"
Li Yan's eyes flashed and he said leisurely: "There are too many possibilities in this. Don't blindly guess. Don't make offerings next. Let him wait for a few days and the answer may be revealed..."
