Chapter five hundred and fifty fifth qualitative change
The days in the New Year were very lively. Concubines from the harem and wives of the royal family came to hand out signs, and there were countless people who wanted to make their presence felt in front of the imperial concubine.
The threshold of spring for the whole world is almost crossed.
At the same time, the elixir refining place in the Old Summer Palace was not idle either.
Yinzhen had a fierce fight with the Taoist priests. After finishing the political affairs of the previous dynasty, the first thing he did when he returned to Jiuzhou Qingyan Hall was to ask the Taoist priest to come over.
The treatment was very good.
Xiuqing Village in the southeast corner of the Old Summer Palace is surrounded by water in the front and mountains in the back. The terrain is very secluded and is a good place for alchemy.
As early as a few years ago, Yinzhen had already set his sights on this land.
The residences of Taoist priests are also arranged here, and the distance is very convenient.
As for the specific matters, under the instruction of Yinzhen and under the supervision of Haiwang, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the envoy of Taiyuan Hospital, the Ministry of Internal Affairs transported more than 4,000 kilograms of firewood and coal.
The Taoist priests will use mineral silver and other materials to prepare for the emperor's alchemy.
Behind Jiuzhou Qingyan Hall is also a good place for alchemy.
At noon, Ji Ling originally took his seventh elder brother to accompany Yinzhen to have lunch at Jiuzhou Qingyan Hall.
A warm and enjoyable lunch.
When she came out, as soon as she got on the imperial concubine's carriage, she saw people transporting dozens of large boxes to the Jiuzhou Qingyan Hall.
Ji Ling raised his hand to stop. When the eunuch in charge saw that it was Emperor Ji's concubine, he naturally did not dare to stop him.
Ji Ling stepped forward and opened the box. After seeing clearly what was inside, his hands trembled slightly.
The box is full of iron brazier covers, red furnace charcoal, etc. In addition, there are a large amount of iron, copper, lead, mineral silver, red copper, black lead, sulfur, yellow paper stands on fir frames, yellow silk wooden plates, and yellow silk tables. Wai, yellow cloth.
What will all the charcoal be used for?
Cooking or heating? None of these are possible.
Ji Ling is now in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, and she knows that the wood and coal used for heating and preparing meals in the Old Summer Palace have always been supplied in rations, and a special account book has been set up. On the last five days of the month, she will order people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come to the Tiandi Family to check the account books.
It seems that these charcoal and metals can only be transported into the palace unnoticed by secret files such as "Working Files".
"Put it down." Ji Ling said word by word.
The eunuch in charge obviously thought that he heard wrongly, but when he saw that the imperial concubine’s face was as frosty as ice, he could only whisper and said with a smile: “Your Majesty, the emperor’s concubine, these are the emperor’s orders...”
"I ask you to put it down." Ji Ling said softly.
The eunuch in charge did not dare to disobey, so he could only wave his hand to signal the young eunuchs behind him to put down the boxes.
The box was heavy and vibrated slightly when he put it down. Ji Ling looked at the weight of the box and couldn't figure out how much coal was behind it. What if all of this was transported to alchemy and eaten by Yinzhen...
She clenched her fists slightly, not daring to think about it any more.
"I will go and talk to the emperor."
Ji Ling turned around and was about to go back to Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace when she saw Yinzhen standing behind her with his hands behind his back.
There was suppressed displeasure on his face, and he turned to Su Peisheng and said: "Pack this batch of newly made elixirs in fir wooden boxes, wrapped in black felt, and padded with cotton plugs, and give them to acting general Zha Lang'a, deputy general Zhang Guangsi, and counselor Mu Deng , Admiral Fan Ting and four others.”
Su Peisheng took the order and left. When he passed by Ji Ling, he still called Qian'er to say hello.
Following the box, there were two more Taoist priests who were refining elixirs for Yinzhen. One was named Zhang Taixu and the other was Wang Dingqian. Both Taoist priests knew a set of "cultivating health" alchemy, and they were even more knowledgeable about "the theory of refining fire". Some research.
They refined pot after pot of golden elixirs.
Yinzhen also gave out some rewards to generals and some important ministers who went to war.
When the two Taoist priests saw Su Peisheng coming out, they also followed him and walked aside.
Yinzhen stared at Ji Ling, with a rare lack of warmth on his stern face.
He said quietly: "Lingling, what are you doing?"
He had been very fond of Ji Ling for many years, but Ji Ling had persuaded him many times about alchemy, and Yinzhen only reduced the amount, but did not completely cut it off.
He had just come out and saw Ji Ling blocking the eunuchs from transporting coal, and suddenly he felt angry out of nowhere.
Facing Yinzhen's eyes and listening to the coldness in his voice, Ji Ling knelt down and said: "Your Majesty..."
The seventh elder brother was behind. When he saw E Niang kneeling, he immediately broke away from his mother's hand, stepped forward and knelt down after Ji Ling.
As soon as Ji Ling knelt down, Yinzhen immediately softened his heart. When he saw the seventh prince's small body about to kneel down, he immediately raised his hand to stop him.
Yinzhen stepped forward and half-supported and half-hugged Ji Ling. The eunuch in charge next to him observed his words and immediately put his hands behind his back and made a gesture. The eunuch carrying the box silently carried out all the coal again.
Yinzhen let out a long sigh, held Ji Ling's hand, touched her cheek, looked at her for a long time, then shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Lingling, why should I explain to you this matter?"
How many times have you been so stubborn?"
As he spoke, he held her hand and walked towards the back hall.
As soon as he entered the Nuan Pavilion, Ji Ling hugged his waist, buried her whole body in his chest and cried: "I don't want you to eat these randomly! Something will really happen! Your Majesty, please!"
She cried so hard that Yinzhen felt hot. He put his arms around the back of her head, pushed her into his arms, and said softly: "Idiot, I definitely won't do it. Don't worry."
Ji Ling was really suffering and couldn't express it.
How do you say this?
I can't tell him directly - Fourth Master, I came from the modern society hundreds of years later. We have seen many theories there, saying that Emperor Yongzheng was addicted to Taoism, took too many pills, and then had his hair braided.
I'm afraid this statement is the historical truth!
If so, let alone whether Yinzhen can understand the matter of "traveling".
Just this topic of death or death can make him very unhappy.
After all, as an emperor, everyone taboos the topic of "death".
There is an old saying in ancient China, which goes like this: "If you take food to seek gods, most of the time you will be mistaken for medicine."
In the emperor's house, there are many people who die abnormally from taking elixirs.
These Nine-Five Masters originally wanted to live forever, but ended up being poisoned and died early.
Emperor Ai of the Jin Dynasty, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Renzong of the Ming Dynasty all died from poisoning after taking the elixir of longevity.
Ji Ling has been vaguely worried in the past few years: Although Yinzhen has reduced the dosage of medication a lot with her repeated persuasion and pleading, after all, it is heavy metals, and minerals such as sulfur and arsenic contain toxins.
, causing considerable damage to the five internal organs of the human body.
In other words, he seems to be in good spirits now, not because the elixir is not poisonous, but probably because the accumulated toxins have not reached a certain amount.
Quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes.
But when it comes to a real qualitative change, it will be too late.
Ji Ling lowered his head and was silent for a long time. Finally he raised his head, held Yinzhen's hand, and said softly: "There is something that I have never told the emperor for so many years. It's not that I deliberately wanted to hide it from the emperor, I just felt that it was
It’s unbelievable, I don’t want to think about it too much, so I have put it off until today.”
