When the queen died, Yongzheng held a grand funeral for her, and hired Prince Hulu, a funeral professional, to preside over it. He also issued a special decree to engrave the Ulanara clan and allow the queen's younger brother Wuge to inherit the title of Marquis of En, which can be regarded as
Preserved the glory of the Uranala clan.
These are just to cover up his coolness.
Only one winter had passed, and a concubine and a queen died, but it didn't seem to cause any trouble.
Women in the palace, no matter how noble their status, are in the final analysis just vassals of the imperial power.
The grass grows and the orioles fly, and the Old Summer Palace looks like spring again.
Shu Jin was walking by the lakeside outside Ciyun Puhu, but suddenly he saw smoke filling the area in front of him. He couldn't help frowning, "Why does Xiuqing Village in front of you look like it's on fire?"
Concubine Mao quickly said "hiss", "It's Master Zhang from Longhu Mountain who is refining elixirs for the emperor."
Shu Jindeng seemed to be stuck, staring at the smoky place with his mouth open, "Longhu Mountain? Master Zhang? Alchemy?!"
She was excited and suddenly remembered that Yongzheng in history seemed to have taken too many elixirs and died.
Why did he fall into his old habits again after being reborn?!
Concubine Mao nodded and said: "I heard that he is the authentic heavenly master of Longhu Mountain, and the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang strongly recommends him. It is said that the elixir he refines is very rare."
Shu Jin looked at the sky speechlessly, "Why is the emperor suddenly so interested in elixirs?" - Has he forgotten that he died of this in his previous life?
Concubine Mao took her hand, walked into the pavilion in front, and waved away the rest of the palace people except her confidants, "The emperor is not young anymore, so he naturally wants to prolong his life."
But this thing will only shorten your life!!!
Shu Jin's face looked as if it had been struck by lightning.
How could Concubine Mao not understand that the Concubine thought that these real heavenly masters were all deceiving the world and stealing their fame? She hurriedly whispered: "I know you must not believe this, but the Emperor is convinced. So, let's not talk nonsense.
Already."
Shu Jin nodded stiffly.
Suddenly, when I thought about it, I actually took it for granted.
As a modern person, even if her cultural level is not high, she still stands on the shoulders of her predecessors. Naturally, she understands that the main component of the elixir is cinnabar, and cinnabar contains mercury, which is a proper poison. Taking the elixir will
That is chronic intoxication.
But the ancients didn't understand chemistry, so they didn't know the dangers involved.
Moreover, the toxicity in the elixir is not very high, and it can even lift the spirit in a short period of time, so it is naturally regarded as a good thing.
Yongzheng was nearly sixty years old when he died. He was not short-lived by any means, but people still think that he lived to that age just because he took the elixir!
Since ancient times, there have been many emperors who believed this. Weren't Emperors of Qin and Han also deceived by the alchemists?
They are not stupid, they just cannot escape the limitations of the times.
Shu Jin looked at the smoky Xiuqing Village in front of him and thought that he had missed such a beautiful place with beautiful scenery.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid, I won't talk nonsense in front of the emperor." Shu Jin was not afraid of Yongzheng taking drugs, but was afraid of his longevity!
Taking drugs early and dying early would only be good for her, not bad.
Concubine Mao smiled: "The real person in Longhu Mountain is also a heavenly master passed down from generation to generation. The governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang has guaranteed it. I guess he is quite capable."
Shu Jin was speechless. No matter how talented he was, it was just refining poison!
Maybe...the toxicity can be less?
It has been passed down for so many generations, so I guess it won't eat people to death easily.
Xiuqing Village was so smoky that Shu Jin stopped going there at all. It was really unlucky for the big garden to be smoky with these things.
After Zhang Tianshi entered the Old Summer Palace, he refined elixirs behind closed doors. After practicing for seventy-seven forty-nine days, he refined a furnace of golden elixirs. Only three of them were presented to His Majesty Yongzheng. He was then rewarded with a hundred gold coins.
After Shu Jin heard about it, he was a little envious! He could make so much money by refining this mercury pill! It was simply unreasonable.
On this day, Yongzheng came to Danning Hall leisurely, and he seemed to be in a good mood. He even personally helped Shu Jin up after curtsying and said, "I see that you have lost some weight. I think you took care of the queen a while ago." It’s because of the hard work of funerals.”
Shu Jin's whole body tightened and she lost weight? Then she should eat more meat quickly!
Yongzheng pointed to the brocade box held by the eunuch Zhang Lin and said: "This is the golden elixir refined by Master Zhang. I took one pill and felt very good. Thinking of your hard work in taking care of the harem, I will give you one pill." "
Shu Jin was speechless for a moment, it was a golden elixir worth thirty-three taels of gold?!
Yongzheng couldn't help but smile when he saw Mr. Geng's shocked look: "But the surprise is spoiled?"
No, no surprise!
Shu Jin hurriedly said: "This is the golden elixir specially made by Zhang Tianshi for the emperor. How can I afford it?" - Please fold it into gold for me...
Yongzheng smiled and said: "This thing is indeed precious. I have never rewarded it to anyone else."
Please give it to someone else! Shu Jin couldn't help but smile in his heart.
"You can keep it with peace of mind, this is a rare good thing." Yong Zheng said, stroking his beard.
Shu Jin couldn't refuse, so he had to tell Lan Ruo to put it away, "Then I will be ashamed of myself."
Yong Zheng nodded slightly, and then said with some regret: "Zhang Tianshi's golden elixir is certainly very good, but unfortunately there are too few... We will have to find a few real immortal masters who are good at elixirs later."
The corners of Shu Jin's mouth twitched, are you afraid that you won't be able to kill yourself by taking drugs?
With this drug taking pace, it’s not easy for you to live to be fifty or sixty years old!
Shu Jin said cautiously: "Since he is an immortal master, he must be rare in the world. Your Majesty, you must investigate carefully to avoid being misled by others..." Carefully, he will be taken for granted.
Yong Zheng nodded sternly, "That's natural! Even if it's Master Zhang, I had to conduct a thorough investigation before I dared to use him."
Your level of thorough investigation is not very good... Shu Jin silently complained. It can be seen that the name of Longhu Mountain is well managed, and the pills cannot kill people.
Alas, one Zhang Tianshi has made Xiuqing Village a smoky place. If a few more Taoist priests come here... the Old Summer Palace will probably be ruined.
I hope Yongzheng can take it easy.
After sending away His Majesty the Dog Emperor who was obsessed with elixirs, Aunt Lanruo asked in a low voice: "Mother, this golden elixir... do you want to take it?"
Shu Jin was speechless, only idiots eat it!!
She coughed and said, "How can such a precious thing be used so casually? Just put it away." - Just leave it until the end of the world!
By the way, does this thing have a shelf life?
Lu Xue said with a smile: "The emperor is so kind to the empress. He only has three golden elixirs, so he gave her one."
Shu Jin almost rolled his eyes, who cares?
Lan Ruo glanced around and saw no one else, then whispered: "It seems that your Majesty doesn't want to take this golden elixir?"
Shu Jin coughed and said, "I'm not sick or in trouble. Why should I take the golden elixir? Just keep it well."
