The two maids who had just finished massaging Zhao Guan's family outside Jimu Pavilion were extremely happy when they heard that they were each rewarded with two pieces of silk.
They knelt outside the pavilion and kowtowed to Zhao Guan's family: "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness!"
Zhao Ji smiled slightly and said: "Pingshen."
In fact, after Zhao Ji saw Li Shishi's stunning beauty before, he had no thoughts about these two little palace ladies.
However, Zhao Ji still gave them two pieces of silk. The main reason was that Zhao Ji wanted to maintain a good relationship between the eunuchs and the maids in good health.
Traveler Zhao Ji combined his historical knowledge to understand: Don’t underestimate the eunuchs and maids.
The emperor cannot be too harsh, let alone offend the people around him.
Zhao Ji knew that Zhu Houcong, the Jiajing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was very similar to the original owner of his body, Song Huizong. They both worshiped Taoism and suppressed Buddhism, and took elixirs.
Didn't Emperor Jiajing offend the palace maids and make them feel the existential crisis, which led to the "Renyin Palace Incident"?
Of course, Zhao Ji searched for the memory left by the original owner in his mind. Although his original owner was as superstitious as the Jiajing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, he advocated Taoism, took longevity elixirs, and regarded Taoism as his only spiritual support for seeking immortality and immortality;<
/p>
However, his original owner, Song Huizong, was fortunately not as perverted as Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty. In order to refine the elixir of longevity, Emperor Jiajing issued an edict to recruit a large number of 13- and 14-year-old palace maids to collect their virginity and blood.
,refining elixir.
Before Zhao Ji traveled through time, when he was reading history, he saw the above record, to the effect that:
In order to keep the 'priming medicine' that must be used when refining the elixir of immortality clean, Emperor Jiajing ordered his maids to be extremely clean from the outside to the inside.
The appearance is clean, but it is easy to clean. You can solve it by bathing regularly.
So how do you achieve inner purity?
Emperor Jiajing also had a way. He asked the palace ladies who were to be used to introduce the medicine not to eat during menstruation, but could only eat mulberry leaves and drink dew...
As a result, the palace maids who provided the 'medicine introduction' were really hungry, thirsty and miserable...
Emperor Jiajing might be suffering from the side effects of taking elixirs or his own character flaws. He was suspicious, violent, moody, and often whipped the maids around him.
The palace ladies finally couldn't bear it anymore and launched the "Renyin Palace Rebellion".
Historical records record: In the 21st year of Jiajing reign, Yang Jinying and a dozen other palace maids took advantage of Emperor Jiajing's sleeping state and tied Emperor Jiajing's neck with a yellow silk cloth, then pulled hard in an attempt to kill Emperor Jiajing.
Just because the palace maids who carried out the assassination were too nervous, and because the yellow silk cloth tied around Jiajing's neck was knotted, they did not kill Emperor Jiajing, so they used hairpins, hairpins and other objects to stab Emperor Jiajing... p>
At this time, one of the timid palace ladies gave up. Because of fear, she temporarily gave up the assassination and ran out to report to Queen Fang...
When Empress Fang arrived with the eunuch guards, Jiajing was still alive and had not been killed. Empress Fang ordered that the assassinating palace maids be subdued. Afterwards, these palace maids, including the palace maid who gave up the assassination and reported on the palace maid, were all killed.
Ling Chi was executed. This matter also implicated two concubines, 'Concubine Duan Cao's family was executed, and Concubine Ning's Wang family was brought to the city'...
Therefore, Zhao Ji feels that it is absolutely right for him to be nicer to the eunuchs and maids around him.
Of course, being kind to them does not mean blindly abiding by their faults. For example, those who are both greedy and treacherous like Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian will still have to use thunderous means to punish them severely as long as the time is right.
At this time, light rain began to fall in the sky.
In the Jimu Pavilion, Zhao Ji saw that the main peak of Genyue, Wansui Mountain, where he was, was filled with steaming clouds and rosy clouds, making it look like a fairyland - that is, there was heavy fog!
When Yang Jian saw Zhao Guan's family being entranced by the fairy mist rising from the mountain, he immediately flattered him:
"The official family is the real dragon emperor, and the dragon's journey must be accompanied by wind and rain!
The sky was clear just now,
When the officials visited the main peak of Genyue, it started to rain lightly;
It also attracts fairy mist and auspicious clouds surrounding the official's house!"
Zhao Ji nodded in agreement and didn't pay much attention to eunuch Yang's slap on the dragon's fart.
He knew why, when it started to rain lightly in the sky, the main peak of Genyue, Wansui Mountain, was immediately surrounded by fairy mist and auspicious clouds.
The main peak of Genyue is entirely made of Taihu stones. It is 150 meters high and is planted with exotic flowers and trees. There are two things on the mountain. One is a large amount of realgar, which can protect against snakes, rats and mosquitoes; the other is
It is a large amount of calamine. Its wonderful function is that when it rains, calamine will emit 'smoke' when it meets water. This visual 'smoke' is actually many small water droplets condensed by water vapor.
Therefore, when it rains, the main peak of Genyue Mountain, Wansui Mountain, looks like a fairyland with steaming clouds and bright clouds.
In order to create the fairyland feeling of the main peak of Genyue, a large amount of realgar and calamine were used, which was a huge expense.
After all, the mining industry in the Northern Song Dynasty was definitely not as developed as the modern society before Zhao Ji's time travel. Whether it was mining realgar or calamine, coupled with long-distance transportation, the cost was huge.
Zhao Ji stood in the mist-shrouded Jimu Pavilion, feeling like a fairyland.
He looked at the royal garden of Genyue under Long Live, which was all in the Jiangnan style with white walls and black tiles. The two imperial roads at the foot of the mountain were filled with rare stones, rare flowers and trees from Taihu Lake that cost a lot of money to transport...
Looking south from the middle section of the royal road, there is actually a shopping street, and there is also a Gaoyang wine shop on that street...
Wonderland!
Human world!
The fairy mist-shrouded Long Live Mountain where Zhao Ji is located seems to be in a fairyland.
Standing on Long Live Mountain, looking at the Jiangnan-style gardens, shopping streets, and Gaoyang wine shops below, one feels like an immortal looking down at the human world beneath his feet...
Zhao Ji secretly thought:
The prosperous Bianliang City, like the royal garden Genyue in fairyland, is right in front of my eyes.
But, what about places outside Bianliang, the capital?
Now, the country of the Northern Song Dynasty is devastated, the people are starving and the roads are full, and peasant uprisings are springing up in various places where the government forces the people to rebel. The northern barbarians are still watching our Song Dynasty with eager eyes.
Can I, Zhao Ji, still be like the original owner, the artist emperor, wandering carefree in this fairyland-like Genyue Royal Garden?
"I don't want to see this beautiful scenery anymore." Zhao Ji said to Yang Jian, "I want to go back to the palace!"
The reason why he made this decision was that he was afraid that like the original owner Song Huizong, he would be trapped in the fairyland of Genyue and ignore the government affairs.
Although Yang Jian was surprised when he heard the sudden decision of Zhao Guan's family, he had to obey the official's will unconditionally.
"Ahem, cough, cough." After Yang Jian coughed a few times, he raised his voice and loudly announced: "Get up and drive back to the palace!"
Zhao Ji glanced at Yang Jian, who might be suffering from lung disease, and then thought that he should gradually divide the power of the eunuchs around him, and said:
"Taifu Yang, the matter of opening the Genyue I entrusted to you and collecting donations is extremely important!
This is related to the open source of the national treasury today.
Therefore, please leave Taifu Yang's affairs in the palace aside for the time being. You must concentrate on the opening of Gen Yue to collect donations.
I will drive back to the palace now, and Taifu Yang does not need to follow me back to the palace.
Aiqing stayed here in Genyue, arranged it according to my wishes, and managed to get tomorrow to welcome the officials from the DPRK and China into the garden, and when they asked them to donate money, they donated with sincerity!"
"Cough cough cough." Yang Jian coughed violently, which made him jump with fear.
He listened to the official's words and seemed to be entrusting him with important tasks.
However, Yang Jian, who has a keen sense of smell, vaguely felt that this seemed to be a way for the officials to quietly alienate him?
Yang Jian's aquiline nose twitched slightly, and two lines of hot tears flowed down.
He knelt at Zhao Guan's feet and cried:
"The old slave has been serving the official family for nineteen years. Although the old slave knows that the official family has entrusted the old slave with the management of a major event such as the opening of Gen Yue. This is a sign of respect for the old slave.
However, the old slave feels that if he cannot see the official family during this period of time, he will really have trouble sleeping and eating!"
Zhao Ji continued to work hard on his acting skills, bent down, stretched out his hands, lifted Eunuch Yang up from the ground, and comforted:
"My heart, why don't I love you?!
There is no other way for me to value those who are close to you, but I love you!"
When Yang Jian heard what Zhao Guanjia said, he immediately put aside all his original doubts and worries. He showed his true feelings and was so moved that he burst into tears...
……
When Zhao Ji returned to the Daqing Hall, he immediately drafted another imperial edict: mobilize the main force of the Muzhou garrison to assemble near Qixian Village in She County, Muzhou, to prepare to prevent rebellion...
Zhao Ji had ordered the eunuch Liang Shicheng to write down and send this order to prevent, or to eradicate, Fang La's uprising in Qixian Village as quickly as possible last night.
Zhao Ji knew that in history, the first wave of Muzhou soldiers who went to quell the Fangla Uprising ended in failure. He felt that it was necessary to send this eight-hundred-mile expedited edict to the chief officer of the Muzhou garrison in order to
Raise their attention, and never underestimate the enemy. It is best to extinguish the uprising in the Seven Sages Village when the sparks just rise...
