The next day, the prison guard came over and asked, "What else can I do to serve you in a small way?" It seemed that he had tasted the sweetness and became much more attentive.
"Yes." Silent nodded, handed him a piece of quotation and said, "It's unbearable to be wet here. Go to my house to get a few furs."
"Oh, okay..." The jailer glanced at the Shouyu above, and it was another 200 taels. He quickly took it and put it in his arms, and said happily: "You should bear it for the time being, I will send it to you tonight."
Half an hour later, Shen Mingchen and others received a secret letter. After the method was done, they saw a line of Xiaoyu appearing: "I Li Shizhen" the three of them suddenly realized, yes, how could they not think of this great god? At this time, a Li Shizhen could be more effective than a hundred lobbyists.
But Li Shizhen's whereabouts are vague, where should I go? Half a day later, news came from the Jinyiwei that the emperor was also looking for Li Shizhen. He had found out that he was collecting herbs in Longhu Mountain, Jiangxi. However, it is estimated that Li Shizhen's personality has been permanently expelled by the emperor, and he may never come back.
Now the silence of safety can make him change his mind. Without further ado, Shen Mingchen volunteered to take the fastest horse in Tongda carriage and horse to Longhu Mountain, Jiangxi for help.
In fact, Shen Mingchen could also use official post offices, because the management of post offices was extremely chaotic in this era. Anyone can get the best of the Ministry of War and enjoy free food and accommodation services. However, because of this, the imperial court post delivery has become very unreliable, and various situations are frequent, which is very easy to mislead. On the contrary, the Tongda chariot and horse dealer run by the Cao Gang, because of its strict organization and high efficiency, has surpassed the official post delivery in terms of reliability and speed, and is very popular among merchants and people.
Even the official post station is proud of, i800 miles of speed, has been surpassed by Tongda. As long as you can bear it, Tongda can allow you to travel thousands of miles a day. Saving people is like putting out a fire. Shen Mingchen can no longer think about it so much and runs directly to Jiangxi as fast as possible.
Before the city gates closed on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the group returned to the capital and took them there for only nine days, which could be called a miracle.
However, these nine days of running around almost exhausted Shen Mingchen. As soon as he saw Yu Yin and others coming out, he fell from the horse's back.
Jin Yin and others were shocked, but it was too late to rescue them. It was too late to say that, and soon, a yellow figure of an apricot yellow figure was rushing down from the horse behind. A light swallow picked up the water and lifted Shen Mingchen's belt. At this time, his face was only three inches away from the ground, which was very dangerous.
Only then did everyone see clearly that it was an old Taoist wearing an apricot yellow Bagua robe, with a purple gold head facing the sky, and a black face and light clouds. This old Taoist looks tall and has a long beard, and looks majestic and harmonious. ． ． But it is definitely not Li Shizhen's image.
Yu Yin quickly stepped forward to take Shen Mingchen, while Wang Bin bowed to the old Taoist and said, "Do you dare to ask about the name of the Lord Gao?"
"I'm Zhang Guoxiang from Longhu Mountain." The old man smiled faintly and said politely: "I met Brother Shen and Mr. Li on the way to Beijing, and walked here with them."
"It turns out that the Heavenly Master is here, and I have missed the opportunity to welcome you." Wang Yin was very surprised and quickly bowed to salute. Zhang Guoxiang was the 50th generation of the Great Master of the Dao Sect in Longhu Mountain, the name of the leader of the Taoist Sect in the world. He quickly shouted to the master of the mansion: "Hurry open the middle gate and ask the Tianshi Mansion to wash away the dust with tea."
"No need." Zhang Tianshi shook his head gently and said, "I am not free. I cannot walk around when I go to Beijing. I must go to the Ministry of Rites first, and then wait in the Tianshi Mansion to meet the saint." After saying that, he bowed to Wang Yin, then turned over and left with his followers.
In a blink of an eye, the old Taoist figure could not be seen, and Li Shizhen was not seen. Wang Yin shook his head helplessly, returned to the mansion, went straight to Shen Mingchen's bedroom to visit. Seeing that he had woken up, he hurriedly said with concern: "Brother, you are tired."
"It's okay..." Shen Mingchen drank a bowl of ginseng soup, had some strength, and whispered: "I have invited Mr. Li, but he cannot enter Beijing without an order. He has settled in the post station outside the city."
"That's great, sir, can be saved now." Wang Yin rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "You have made great contributions!"
"It's not my credit, it's clearly the good relationship that the adults have made," Shen Mingchen smiled and said, "When I found Mr. Li, he was a guest at the Tianshi Mansion and explained the matter to him. Without saying a word, he carried a doctor's bag and went on the road with me," he said as he said, "What's even more amazing is that Master Zhang also wants to go on the road with us. I thought that he had a greater grasp of this, so he agreed."
"He is that kind?" Yu Yin frowned.
"Saving others is saving yourself." Wang Yin smiled faintly: "The Heavenly Master Mansion and the nobles have been married for generations, and they have a wide connection in the court. The emperor is calling Li Shizhen all over the world. If he did not realize that the crisis was approaching, the Zhang Tianshi would not have been passed on for fifty generations."
Both of them felt that what he said was reasonable and couldn't help but nod. Shen Mingchen asked again: "What happened in Tianjing these days?"
"As usual, the emperor does not accept any memorials on the grounds of celebrating the New Year." Yu Yin, who was serving him next to him, said: "But tomorrow is the day for office in various yamen. Master Xu also wants to return to the cabinet, and there is no reason not to accept it."
"According to the news, the emperor's illness is even worse," Wang Yin said: "It's not bad news for us."
"Yeah..." Shen Mingchen nodded and said softly: "We have done everything we can do, and the rest can only be determined by the performance of you sir."
"Yes..." Wang Yin agreed deeply: "I hope there will be a good result..."
After the Spring Festival, it was officially over. The yamen in Beijing began to work, and the state machinery that had been suspended for more than half a month began to operate slowly again.
But the officials ignored the government affairs that had accumulated for more than half a month, but submitted memorials to the Tongzheng Envoy Department. In just one go, he received more than 500 copies from the signing room. The Tongzheng mission classified them, and more than 200 copies were asked to surrender those censors to the emperor, more than 200 copies were asked to publicly try Hai Rui, and more than 100 copies were asked to ask Shen Mo what crime he committed and why he was detained.
The Tongzheng Envoy did not dare to neglect and quickly sent these memorials to the Sili Supervisor. At this time, the person who was sitting in the Sili Supervisor's room was Ma Sen, who was honestly dismissed by Jiajing. When he saw the cart of memorials, he said, "Send them all to Wuyi Palace. The emperor's dragon body is inconsistent, so don't bother him with these civil affairs."
The envoy of Tongzheng took out a memorial from his sleeve and said, "This must be handed over to the emperor."
Ma Sen took it and saw that it was reported by the prefect of Shuntian, saying that Li Shizhen, who was secretly looking for by the emperor, was now resting in the inn outside the city. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Of course I want this."
"There is another one." The envoy of Tongzheng took out another one and said, "The Ministry of Rites reported that Zhang Tianshi arrived in Beijing yesterday and requested an audience."
"This is good," Ma Sen also took it and said, "The emperor is in a bad mood these two days. Master Zhang is here just in time and can unleash his holy heart."
He handed over the two memorials, and after a while, Jiajing was sure to both of them and ordered them to come to the palace to meet.
Master Zhang had been waiting outside the Xiyuan Gate, so he naturally arrived earlier than Li Shizhen. He followed the eunuch to the Shengshou Palace. After the mountain shouted long live, Jiajing ordered someone to sit, but the pearl curtain was not removed.
After a simple greeting, Master Zhang held his breath and waited for the emperor to ask questions. He knew that this was a critical moment for the survival of this sect.
"Da Zhenren..." Jiajing finally spoke, "Did the two immortal masters Shao and Tao have ascended to immortality? Or have they become ancient?"
"Of course I have ascended to the immortals." Zhang Tianshi said without changing his face: "When Zhenren Shao ascended, I was traveling around, but when Zhenren Tao ascended, I served by the side. I saw a strange fragrance all over the room, the sky was auspicious clouds, and the real person sat upright on the top of the Qinglian Peak, and a white light came down, and then he disappeared!"
Master Zhang was so full of things that Jiajing did not twitch his heart as usual, but said lightly: "Is that true? Tao Zhenren has a profound cultivation level, so it is better to connect."
Master Zhang Tian secretly called him badly. It seemed that the emperor was really disappointed with cultivating immortals. Fortunately, the countermeasures were ready. He pretended to be mysterious: Santao Zhenren was very concerned about His Majesty, but he was about to ascend, and had to return to the master's sect to respond to the heavenly tribulation, so he left the capital, but he always cared about the emperor in his heart.
"Before Jiajing reacted, he said again: "Before Master Tao Tian ascended, the Taoist Dharma was the highest, and he could cave in the three realms and nine states. Now in the future, I have seen the emperor go astray and have something to do. I have to tell Your Majesty."
"The alliance went astray?" Jiajing murmured: "How do you say this? Why did you go astray? Why?"
Feeling that the emperor's emotions were extremely unstable, Master Zhang secretly sweated and pretended to sigh: "Actually, if I practiced according to my true skills, the emperor would definitely not go astray. I will sooner or later reach the day of ascension. But later you thought that our skills were too slow to take effect. In order to achieve rapid success, you have collected secret books from all walks of life and practiced the skills of all sects, and the breath in your body was mixed. What's particularly serious is that some ignorant speculators took fake skills and evil elixirs to the emperor, so that your body was unbearable and you kept coughing up blood. These were all signs of getting into the devil!"
"Can that be remedy?" Jiajing was fooled by him and ordered people to remove the pearl curtain. He looked at Zhang Tian and said with his eyes.
"Difficult, difficult, difficult..." Zhang Tianshi shook his head and said, "I have practiced the primordial spirit in Taoism. The body is the cauldron of the primordial spirit. The emperor's cauldron is broken, and the primordial spirit can no longer be cultivated..."
"．．．．．．．．．．． Jiajing's eyes suddenly lost his spirit, "The gathering of three flowers is originally a illusion, but the foot is not true. It turns out that the couplet is just a dream of yellow beams...
Master Zhang Tian tried his best to make the emperor despair. He wanted to make the emperor go from despair to hope, and he didn't even dare to doubt. He said, "The Lord is relieved, the real person has left behind a way to crack it."
"Really?" Jiajing was really pitiful. Such a shrewd emperor seemed to be incompetent and mentally retarded when he got to this matter of ghosts and gods. Muran seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and said urgently: "Why don't you tell me quickly?"
"Taking the body to reincarnate." Zhang Tianshi said with a solemn expression: "I have a secret method in Taoism that can inject human soul into other people's bodies and seize other people's bodies for your own use."
"Reincarnation with the body?" Jiajing murmured. Of course, he was not unfamiliar with this word, but he always felt that it was far away from him. Unexpectedly, it became the only choice now. At this time, he coughed again, hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief. After calming down, he coughed up bleeding. He couldn't help but feel sad: i this body is really useless. It seems that taking over the body is the only way. He blurted out and asked, "Is it dangerous?"
"With this sect's full support, the emperor can rest assured." Seeing the trick, Zhang Tianshi tried to sell the railway while it was hot: "We will find a spiritual body for Your Majesty to practice twice the result with half the effort, and then wipe its soul away. Your Majesty took the opportunity to enter and take over this body, and then it was done."
"Oh..." Jiajing nodded and asked, "Where can I find such a spirit?"
"The three thousand disciples of Longhu Mountain are willing to sacrifice for the emperor." Zhang Tianshi said seriously: "But there is one thing that takes away the fortune of heaven and earth. The secret must be kept strictly. Once it is leaked, God will bring down the heavenly tribulation and will be destroyed by the time of the time."
"This Lianxiaozi..." Jiajing was a scheming emperor after all. Of course, he knew that this matter was of great importance and could not be misunderstood. He always believed it without doubt, but he had to weigh the pros and cons, so he asked Master Zhang Tian to retreat first.
Master Zhang stood up to salute, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Oh, by the way, before Zhenren Tao goes, I have something to tell His Majesty."
"Please speak." Jiajing attached great importance to Tao Zhenren's words.
"He said that there is a young friend in the world, who was the Wenquxing who was brought to the Ming Dynasty by the earth and heaven. In the future, he will be able to stabilize the country and support the country." Zhang Tianshi said slowly: "But this year, I will be in prison. Please let Your Majesty open the net and don't make things difficult for him."
When Jiajing heard this, he knew who was talking. He thought for a moment and said, "True Tao's words, remember, remember..." He paused and said, "Besides, he asked him to today's prison disaster, so he would rather stay in the prison first." "It's neither affirming nor denying, so Master Zhang Tian couldn't touch the bottle of his head, but he didn't dare to say more. Besides, he had traces and bowed and said he bowed.
There is a way of seeking wealth and honor in danger, and sometimes peace requires seeking danger in danger. Zhang Tianshi’s behavior actually has three purposes: one is to draw a clear line with Wang Jin’s scammers; the second is to avoid someone clearing the Taoist Tao after the emperor’s death; the third is to pull Shen Mo and not let the protective umbrella that Tao Zhongwen found fall like this.
Ultimately, it's all for self-protection.
Jiajing's body can only see one person every day. Zhang Tianshi went there and lay down on the dragon bed, completely losing energy. However, when the eunuch came in and reported that someone asked for a meeting again, he still happily announced his meeting.
Because the visitor was the miracle doctor Li Shizhen.
Jiajing was not confused. In his opinion, Taoist priests and doctors were to soothe the soul and the other to heal the body. He needed both now, and even the needs of the latter were greater than the former. After all, the road was vague and unsatisfactory. Even if the hope was not shattered, there were only a few strands and no longer as fanatical as before.
But his physical illness was always troubled by him, and he urgently needed this great power player who had only produced hundreds of years to prepare for himself.
While he was thinking about it, footsteps sounded, and then a clear voice said: "Li Shizhen, the grass man, please come to see Your Majesty, long live long live long live long..."
Jiajing tilted his head with difficulty and looked at Li Shizhen. Seeing that he was still clothed and clothed, his face was clear, but he looked at him but had no changes. He couldn't help but sigh: "Doctor Li is safe, but Lian is not as good as he is."
"If I had heard the Caomin's words, what would be more than that?" Li Shizhen had no good feelings for the emperor, but seeing his thin bones and scalp and dying look, the i-doctor's parents' heart softened again and sighed, "The golden elixir harms people, Your Majesty always knows now, right?"
"You are still like this." Jiajing smiled helplessly: "Don't save face for Lian at all."
"A good medicine is good for diseases, and honest words are good for actions." Li Shizhen said lightly as he opened the medicine box.
"Bold..." Ma Sen, who was beside him, couldn't listen anymore and shouted at Li Shizhen and said, "Who are you talking to?"
"Forget it..." Jiajing said disapprovingly: "He is such a person and cannot be changed." Ma Sen had to shut up.
Li Shizhen didn't appreciate it, so she took out a small pillow, and stood beside the bed, and said hard: "Take the pulse."
Jiajing hurriedly put his hand on and asked him to take his pulse obediently. At this time, the eunuch and palace maid dared not make any noise, and the hall was quietly filled with a lot of people.
When he took back his hand, Jiajing asked carefully: "Sir, how about Lian's illness?"
Li Shizhen didn't answer, and asked Masen: "What medicine is the emperor taking now?"
Masen quickly took out Jin Yuanzheng's unilaterally.
Li Shizhen took it and looked at it for a moment, thinking for a moment, saying, "Remove the Korean ginseng, reduce the amount of Codonopsis pilosula in half, add five cents of dried tangerine peel and five cents of angelica white angelica.
"Sir, don't you tell me another way?" Jiajing looked at him beggingly.
"This prescription has been prescribed well, and Caomin can only balance it to make it more peaceful, and the medicine will naturally be more effective." Li Shizhen sighed lightly and said, "Just take it like this. Caomin will pass on a set of acupuncture methods to the imperial physician. If you give your Majesty acupuncture every day, it will definitely relieve your Majesty's pain."
"Why, you still have to leave?" Jiajing said in surprise.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Caomin will live outside the palace first." Li Shizhen said with a blank expression: "You can summon it at any time if you have something to do."
"Can't you be with your side?" Jiajing asked.
"Caomin has a bad temper and can't speak, for fear of making the emperor angry." Li Shizhen said half-heartedly.
Looking at him, Jiajing asked slowly, "Are you... you are still in the monster couplet, and the monster couplet drove you away?"
"The grass people dare not." Li Shizhen lowered his head and said, "Someone has already solved the grass people in this matter." He paused and said, "He said that the world is a family, the emperor is the father of all people, and all the world is a parent. How can children hold revenge on their fathers and grandparents?"
"Who is it?" Jiajing's eyes lit up. This was the most thoughtful thing he had heard recently.
"Shen Mo." Li Shizhen raised her head and looked at Jiajing and said, "This time he also advised me to come to Beijing."
"It's him..." Jiajing showed a sudden expression and whispered: "No wonder you would come." After bowing his head for a long time, he looked up and said to Li Shizhen: "Your face will not be given, but you can't let him go now. That's not to save him but to harm him. You don't understand the truth here, so go ahead."
Li Shizhen sighed lightly and bowed.
