Chapter 550: Refining the fake into the real (10)
As the court meeting began, everyone entered the court hall in order as always, and then chatted for a while and discussed the matters that would be presented later.
Wait until you see the eunuch kneeling down at the intersection of the front and back halls.
They all understood that Emperor Ping Zhao was coming.
So naturally he immediately kept silent.
Waiting quietly for the arrival of Emperor Ping Zhao.
But within a few minutes, everyone was stunned and motionless, with thunder in their minds but unable to speak a word, because they saw a rather young man wearing a dragon robe walking out from behind.
The young officials were a little dazed for a moment and couldn't even tell whether this person was Emperor Ping Zhao, while the older officials were even more confused.
They had met Emperor Ping Zhao when he was young.
The young figure now wearing a dragon robe could clearly overlap with the young Emperor Ping Zhao in their memories, and even his own sons looked so similar.
Thinking about the Emperor Tiaobao again, it was impossible for the difference between Tiaobao and Tiaobao to be so big, and it was previously rumored in the palace that the eldest princess paid tribute to a batch of elixirs that were said to be able to rejuvenate one's youth.
No matter how outrageous the speculation in my mind is at this moment.
That's probably not far from the truth.
Maybe it was because everyone was too surprised that no one saluted according to the rules at this time. However, Emperor Ping Zhao was really happy today and knew that it was normal for the ministers present to be surprised, so he didn't care about it and just smiled.
He strode to the dragon chair and sat down:
"Why, you dear ladies don't recognize me?"
"I took a special look in the mirror before I came here. I feel that I am not much different from how I looked thirty years ago. Prime Minister Liu and Xiangguo Li, you have been serving as officials in the court for nearly forty years. Could it be that you don't recognize me now?"
Already?"
As Emperor Ping Zhao spoke, all the ministers present reacted and began to salute untidyly.
That's called unevenness, one after another.
"Your Majesty, are you really young again?"
After the ceremony, Prime Minister Liu and others couldn't wait to ask, "They are not young anymore. The eldest is ten years older than Emperor Ping Zhao. They are already in their seventies and almost eighty this year, and there is nothing to do at this time."
retirement system.
As long as he didn't commit any crime, he was unwilling to retreat.
You can basically do it until you die.
They are in high positions of authority, and their descendants may not necessarily live up to their expectations. Naturally, they want to work for as many years as they can. At the same time, they are also afraid of death and want to live for a few more years, so they don't bother to ask.
There is a ghost.
"Didn't you all see it?
I am now standing in front of your eyes alive. Do you need to say anything else? Ah Luan is indeed blessed with profound blessings and endless filial piety. He is willing to give me such a panacea. Come, please give me two more edicts and seal them together.
Aluan's second son is the king of Jinping County.
There is also a saying that her youngest daughter was named Princess Yi'an.
All enjoy the title of prince.
Then if there is something to do, start the show, and if there is nothing to do, leave the court!"
Because Ding Yun’s side really has no title. Princess Zhenguo is the highest title for a princess. The only title above is the eldest princess Zhenguo. However, the eldest princess Zhenguo is the emperor’s aunt, so add a higher title.
It just meant that she was an elder, so Emperor Ping Zhao could only do the next best thing and reward Ding Yun's children with titles.
This time, no one tried to dissuade me.
The big bosses in the court are not young anymore. Who doesn't want to be young again and live for a few more decades? Now he is worried that he has a bad relationship with the eldest princess, or that he has no previous friendship.
How could it be possible to deliberately target him at this time?
And young people are not qualified to speak.
Therefore, the two decrees of Emperor Ping Zhao were issued very smoothly. Immediately afterwards, although the officials were embarrassed, they directly pulled Emperor Ping Zhao to question, or asked the eldest princess if she could continue to refine the rejuvenation elixir.
But he was also very obviously absent-minded.
After explaining everything that was going to be reported, the matter was quickly settled with almost no quarrel, and then hurried down to court, and everyone went home and felt busy.
They all know that times may be changing.
I can no longer think about seizing the direct descendant.
Just stay true to yourself and be a royalist.
In addition, ministers who are older and have higher status have invited their wives or daughters to send greetings to the eldest princess, hoping to be a guest or something, and then let them act as intermediaries and make insinuations.
I was wondering if there is any rejuvenation pill available.
Of course, they themselves are not idle either.
They immediately warmly invited the prince-in-law to be their guest.
A two-pronged approach can increase the probability of obtaining it!
The concubine can tip the emperor's ear, so why can't the concubine tip the princess's ear?
It can be said that the people in the princess's mansion have suddenly become very popular. Not to mention the eldest princess Ding Yun and the consort and her children, even any maid and servant in the eldest princess's mansion, there are people who are making friends with them.
Some waste left over from Ding Yun's alchemy.
It can be stolen if you are not careful.
After all, many people take it for granted that the dregs of elixirs cannot be compared to ordinary ordinary medicines.
But Ding Yun knew very well that those medicinal dregs were not only ineffective in curing diseases but were also poisonous, so in the end he had no choice but to abandon the simplest method of throwing the medicinal dregs out as rubbish and change it to a slightly more troublesome method of baking it directly in the fire.
, the troublesome practice of burning it to ashes and burying it in the ground.
And they constantly explain to the outside world that the medicine residue is poisonous.
Of course, this was the reaction of most officials and nobles. Prince Zhang Yutao's reaction was completely different from theirs. When he saw Emperor Ping Zhao who was thirty years younger in the government hall, he was completely confused.
.
More confused than all the ministers.
He even wanted to break down and roar a few times.
I wish I could strangle myself who thought this was impossible more than two months ago, and those officials who said it was impossible. No matter how impossible they thought it was, they were still very fragile in the face of the facts.
A miracle just happened.
Rejuvenation just happens.
Other ministers may have thought that if the emperor could rejuvenate his youth, wouldn't that mean that they could also rejuvenate and live for a few more decades, but all Zhang Yutao could think of was that he, the prince, might not deserve to die.
It's just that he didn't dare to collapse or roar.
I could only clench my nails with both fists and bear it even if I dug my palms. I endured it until I went back and then I broke down and vented. Then my whole body became completely decadent.
Because the situation has become obvious now. Apart from forcing the palace to rebel, it is almost impossible for him to become emperor in a short time. And he previously thought that his father might not live long, and might be poisoned to death after taking the elixir for a few days.
In order to make his father feel at ease, he even handed over the few military power he had. Now he wants to rebel and force the palace, but there is really nothing he can do.
So what can he do but give up decadently?
He has no hope. Do his younger brothers have hope? I am afraid that only those younger brothers who are just born or only a few years old have hope of becoming emperor.
What's the point of trying so hard to pretend?
It's better to lie down flat.
