Chapter 142: The innate efficacy, the granted immortality, the envy, jealousy and hatred, Yan Song became the target of public criticism! Yan Mansion, in the courtyard. "Dad, immortal, immortal!?" Young cabinet minister Yan Shifan raised his head, opened his mouth wide, and looked dazed. Yan Song on the side also raised his head, staring with his cloudy old eyes wide open, looking at the golden eyes in the sky that were full of supreme majesty, his eyes were full of disbelief. Immortal, why did you suddenly appear in the world? ! Before this, they had heard that on the day of Yinshan’s burial, some soldiers saw immortals coming to the world, but they had not seen it with their own eyes. Seeing this immortal manifest himself with my own eyes, it would be a lie to say I wasn’t shocked. "Enter the palace!" Yan Song suddenly came to his senses and rushed into the hall without thinking twice. "Someone, change your clothes, change your clothes quickly, and prepare the sedan chair!" Hearing his father's roar, Yan Shifan shuddered all over, reacted quickly, and turned around and rushed to the lobby. At this time, Prince Yu, who had just woken up, was holding his three-month-old son and staring at the sky with wide eyes.

"My Lord, what is that?!" Li, who had become the most favored concubine in the palace, although still a concubine, was now in a position no less than that of the principal wife, was afraid. "Here," Prince Yu reacted without thinking too much, and handed his son to Li, then turned and walked into the hall, "Come here, change your clothes, prepare the sedan chair, I want to go to the palace!" "Someone come quickly, you blind man, don't just stand there, prepare the sedan chair!" Li also hurriedly called everyone in the palace. At the same time, Ningbo Prefecture. The open space at the back hall of the prefectural government office. "God has appeared, God please spare my life, God..." Hai Rui's wife and mother, like most people, knelt on the ground with their hands clasped together, praying to God. Well, the action of putting hands together is something they learned from temples, and they subconsciously think that this is the right way to worship gods. At this moment, Hai Rui, standing under the eaves, looked up at the sky, at the majestic shadow that was watching over the entire world, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with worry. "An immortal? What happened? Why is it like this..." Hai Rui never believed that Jiajing embarked on the path to immortality on his own. Although the one who buried Yinshan before was not a real immortal but the emperor himself, where did the emperor's immortal power come from? Therefore, the speculation of the cabinet that there is an immortal standing behind the emperor, or even an entire fairy world, is not completely groundless. On the contrary, it is very reasonable. Because Hai Rui himself thought so too. So when Hai Rui saw this scene, the first thing he thought of was whether something had happened between the emperor and the immortal. Although the emperor has embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, if there is a conflict or unpleasantness between him and the immortals, he will be in great danger. "Master, master, it's bad. Endless waves and hurricanes suddenly rose on the sea in the distance. The immortal is angry!" The servant rushed in from outside, his face full of horror, and fell to his knees with a plop. With a thought in his mind, Hai Rui took a deep look at the sky, glancing at the phantom that might be an immortal that had startled the entire world. Then he turned around and strode into the inner room. Then, he knelt on the ground and began to pray.

"There are strange phenomena in the heaven and earth. I suspect that immortals are disturbing the human world. Your Majesty, I, Hai Rui, have a concern for you. May I ask why..." Hai Rui said this over and over again without getting tired of it. He hoped that if the emperor could hear what he was thinking, he would respond. Outside the Western Garden, Prince Yu, Prince Jing, Yan Song and his son, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Zhao Zhenji and others were already waiting anxiously at the palace gate, but they were stopped by Chen Hong and the Western Factory. "Chen Hong, how dare you stop the two princes!" Junior cabinet minister Yan Shifan pointed at Chen Hong and shouted angrily. He is just a eunuch. He relied on being a family slave and received some favors. Now he dares to make trouble! In the past, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with these eunuchs, which led to the eunuchs becoming more and more arrogant and rebellious, jumping around. He didn't expect that today they would dare to openly stop them outside the West Garden. In their eyes, the current Xiyuan is like a blessed land for immortals. They are allowed to enter the Lingtian Courtyard once every three months to receive immortal blessings. The two princes, Prince Yu and Prince Jing, can also enter once every three days. It’s such an important place, okay, if we can’t enter sometimes, then we don’t have to, they have no objection. Although they knew that the Emperor and Lu Fang were in charge of Yuxi Palace, it was a blessed place that determined whether they could truly embark on the path to immortality in the future, so they still felt that no matter how strict the management was, it would not be excessive. But there are priorities, what time is it now? Don’t you see the immortal above your head observing the world? You must see the emperor at this time. No matter what, you have to get things clear, right? This concerns the future longevity plans of everyone present. If there is any conflict between the emperor and the immortal, they should help to think of a solution. Chen Hong, this rebellious eunuch, actually stopped them. What a bastard! At this moment, everyone in the cabinet was staring at Chen Hong with unfriendly eyes. "Humph." However, facing the eyes of the cabinet, Chen Hong snorted coldly, without even looking at them, and said respectfully to Prince Yu and Prince Jing: "Your Highnesses, the master has previously ordered that no one can enter the palace before the time for cultivation." "With the increasing number of people holding the position of immortal officials, the immortal salary and the time spent in the Lingtian Courtyard every day must be strictly controlled." "Your Highnesses entered the palace for training yesterday. You can only continue to enter the palace for training in two days. During the rest of the time, the palace will specially send spiritual resources to the palace. Please don't make things difficult for me, Your Highnesses." Although Chen Hong spoke respectfully, his attitude was very clear: no one could enter Yuxi Palace unless there was a clear order. Upon hearing this, Prince Yu and Prince Jing's faces darkened. They had heard that Chen Hong was arrogant and looked down on everyone, but they never took him seriously on weekdays. After all, no matter how arrogant you are, can you be so arrogant in front of us princes? But today, they really felt Chen Hong's arrogance. "Arrogant!" Prince Yu suppressed his anger and shouted, "If I were to force my way in today, would you dare to stop me?" After saying that, Prince Yu ignored Chen Hong and waved his hand, calling everyone, "Follow me to see my father!" Having said that, he stared coldly at Chen Hong, who was standing there in a daze with an unpleasant look on his face, and strode into the West Garden. "Hmph!" King Jing snorted coldly as he passed by, then walked away with a flick of his sleeves. The cabinet members behind the Second King looked at Chen Hong straight in the eye again this time, but everyone could see the coldness in their eyes. Although Chen Hong and others from the Imperial Household Department were also granted the title of immortal officials, for the people in the cabinet who also held official titles, their identities and status did not change at all. Even if one day, the Ming Dynasty becomes an immortal dynasty, they will still be the elders of the cabinet, and you, Chen Hong, are just a eunuch. Don't forget, there is also Lu Fang in the Silijian. Who do you think you are, Chen Hong! Chen Hong, who was treated coldly by everyone, felt his sensitive and fragile nerves hurt again. He stood there, looking at the backs of everyone entering Xiyuan, with his fists clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that he was still living like a minion and was a joke. No matter how capable he was or how much he was appreciated by his masters, these people never took him seriously and never saw him. Chen Hong thought that he was not an ordinary eunuch. He was a eunuch who had his own aspirations and even wanted to go down in history. He looked down on those eunuchs who had no aspirations, no dreams, and were content with the status quo. He believed that he had to fight for everything he had. And he did so. He was able to become the governor of the Western Factory today because he had earned it step by step. Therefore, in his life, all he has to do is fight and fight. Only by fighting can he win and get everything he wants. "You will regret it!" Chen Hong was furious for a while, then calmed down, took a deep breath and quickly walked into Xiyuan. When everyone hurried to Yuxi Palace, they saw Lu Fang, Lu Bing, Qingfeng, Huang Jin and Shi San kneeling on the ground. The main hall of Yuxi Palace was closed. "Your Highnesses broke in by force, I..." Chen Hong ran up quickly and explained quickly when he saw Lu Fang coming. Well, he is not at all dissatisfied with Lu Fang now. Lu Fang raised his hand, interrupting Chen Hong's words to show that he understood, then nodded slightly to Prince Yu and others, and continued to kneel in silence outside the Yuxi Palace. "Whoosh..." At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew, and then snowflakes began to float in the sky. It is now December of the 42nd year of the Jiajing reign, and winter has already arrived. In addition, the weather in the Ming Dynasty was fickle, with continuous rain and snow. Sometimes it is snowing even before winter arrives. Upon seeing this, Prince Yu and others also stepped forward and knelt beside Lu Fang and others. Above the sky, the majestic shadow of the immortal still exists. No one knew what the immortal wanted to do, and now their only hope was to find out what it was from the emperor. At this time, inside Yuxi Palace. Jiajing did encounter some problems, but of course, these problems were of his own making. As soon as he bound Daming, he began to try to control Daming, and step by step tried to experience the insights that appeared in his mind after binding his natal object, such as the control over his natal object. This includes the control of the weather within the Ming Dynasty. He tried to transfer the snowfall in other parts of the Ming Dynasty to the capital. This is a preliminary exploration of the natural forces of the entire world. After all, the natal object he was bound to was the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was just a small corner of the earth. But the wind, frost, rain, snow, and four seasons were the natural forces of the entire world. If he wanted to control the climate of the four seasons, it would be tantamount to interfering with the entire natural world, which would inevitably cause resistance from the entire natural force. And the fact was exactly as he thought. The moment he used his will to force the snowfall in the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty to the sky above the capital, a counterattack followed. For example, the sudden influx of overseas climate caused huge waves in the area belonging to the Ming Dynasty's sea area.

It is about to sweep across the entire Ningbo, which will be an endless disaster for the entire coastal area. In order to prevent the entire coastal area from suffering disaster, Jiajing had to use his consciousness to try to calm the waves and the climate, and then distribute them throughout the Ming Dynasty. It was also on this day that heavy rain, snow and hail suddenly fell throughout the Ming Dynasty. The endless waves on the sea gradually subsided. But even so, some fishing boats and houses along the coast were still hit. Under Jiajing's strenuous control and guidance, casualties among the people were avoided, and mountain torrents and earthquakes in inland areas also avoided the people and most of the farmland. "Huh..." Looking at Daming who was gradually calming down, Jiajing let out a breath. At this moment, his forehead was covered with sweat. Even though he was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, his face was pale at this moment. At this time, looking at the rain falling all over the Ming Dynasty, as well as the rivers and floods that were guided and diverted by him, Jiajing felt a sense of fear and deep dread in his heart. Just by drawing snow and cold air from the coastal areas to the inland areas, it actually triggered a counterattack from the entire natural force. That power seemed to be the will of the entire world. If he did not take timely remedial measures, the entire Southeast would be finished. At this moment, Jiajing understood that if he took any action, it would not only affect the four seasons climate in the entire Ming Dynasty, but he would also be targeted by the whole world. This was a resistance to the laws of nature. "The laws of nature, the laws of the world, the power of the world," Jiajing lowered his head and thought for a moment, his eyes flashing, and he said in a deep voice: "In fact, this is the power of the heavenly way of the entire earth!" What is Heaven's Way? It is a set of rules for the operation of the world's laws. Any force that violates or breaks the operation of the world's laws is a provocation to the entire world. The difference is that in the world of immortal cultivation, the set of rules that govern the world's laws are more stringent, complex and huge. It includes everything including the growth of all things, the birth, aging, sickness and death of living beings, cultivation, and even various special abilities. For example, heavenly punishment, thunder tribulation, blood pacts and oaths made between cultivators, etc. are all included in the laws of the world. But the Ming Dynasty did not have that. In comparison, the world rules and regulations of the immortal world were more complex, vast, and flexible. The world laws and regulations in the world where the Ming Dynasty exists are simpler. They just maintain the basic world framework, and that's all. However, the laws governing the operation of the world will also change. For example, if something like spiritual energy that shouldn't exist appeared in this world, then the laws governing the operation of the world would adapt. Then incorporate it into your own operating rules. For example, if there are immortal cultivators, then there will also be corresponding laws and rules that include immortal cultivators. In simple terms, all living things are within the Tao! These were the enlightenments that came to Jiajing spontaneously after he bound his natal object. It was like enlightenment, and he understood everything naturally. However, even the simple rules of operation of the world's laws cannot be challenged at will by the will of a foundation-building cultivator. Jiajing just wanted to change the natural climate, which was equivalent to provoking the entire natural order, and would naturally be counterattacked. If we only intervene in the simple clouds and rain in the Ming Dynasty within a small range, there may not be any major counterattack, but if we directly draw rain and snow from other areas, it will not work. Not to mention that the natural laws of this world cannot be messed with, even if we explain it from the perspective of later science, it is well known that cold air and tropical winds are all globally related. When to arrive and where to disappear are all based on a set of rules, well, supported by theories. The sudden removal of the cold air and snow formed along the coast caused the local air pressure at sea to drop suddenly, which intensified the wind. Isn't that what caused the storm? Jiajing didn't understand much about this.

But all dharmas converge to the same destination, and this is the truth. Even though science and Taoism are two different paths in later generations, the underlying logic of some truths will not change. According to Taoism, the world is governed by laws and all things follow the way of heaven. From a scientific perspective, later generations say that these are various physical rules. Thinking of this, Jiajing suppressed these thoughts and slowed down. With an idea in his mind, the Ming Dynasty in his palm slowly shrank and turned into a golden ball wrapped in gold. At his wrist, the transparent tendon-like spiritual consciousness connected to the light ball, and then slowly disappeared. At this moment, the shadow above the sky of the Ming Dynasty slowly disappeared, and the golden light dissipated in the depths of the rolling dark clouds. Then there was heavy snow falling from the sky. In just a short period of time, less than a stick of incense, the people of the entire Ming Dynasty witnessed the terrifying phenomena of heaven and earth. Soon, local governments began to step in to appease the people. Previously, there were rumors that an immortal had descended to the world in Datong, and the cabinet had already summarized the procedures for covering his mouth and handling corresponding incidents, which had also been issued early along with the cleansing and rectification of the administration. For a time, as the government comforted them, the people were still shocked and frightened by the horrific vision just now, as well as the earthquakes, mountain torrents, and landslides that occurred in various places. I just became more and more convinced of the existence of God. Outside Yuxi Palace. Yan Song and the others' eyes trembled as they watched the strange phenomenon in the sky disappear. They really didn't know what it meant. Was the emperor talking to the immortal? Did they reach some kind of agreement? Or was it something else? However, they didn't know any of this and could only keep thinking about the various problems they might encounter. Now, the emperor has explained to them the fact of cultivating immortals, and they have also been conferred the title of immortal officials, so they are also qualified to discuss countermeasures with the immortal world. Jiajing in the Yuxi Palace naturally had no idea what everyone was thinking. At this moment, he was looking at the Ming Dynasty floating in front of him, his mind in turmoil. After binding his natal object, he had too many insights in his mind, and intervening in the Ming Dynasty directly through his natal object like a "God's perspective" was just one of them. One of them, in his opinion, was the most convenient way for Ming Dynasty to gain huge benefits from the world of immortal cultivation. “It’s bound to my natal object, but the Ming Dynasty is still a mortal kingdom. If I want to benefit my natal object as soon as possible, I must let it transform…” Thinking in his heart, Jiajing waved his hand, and a corner of his natal Ming Dynasty enlarged. Then he picked out the Lingtian courtyard in his natal Ming Dynasty separately, and like a spare part, the wind flew away and floated in front of his eyes. That’s right, just like building blocks, after the spiritual consciousness is bound to the natal object, the natal object can be changed at will according to the owner’s wishes. Now, he can disassemble and assemble the Ming Dynasty at will, and even take out a part of it to look at and play with. However, this is not the focus after binding the natal object. The key point is that he can pick out a certain part from his natal Ming and send it directly into the world of immortal cultivation, so as to absorb spiritual energy through his natal object and thus connect with his natal object, Ming. For example, he put a river in his natal Ming Dynasty into a river in the world of immortal cultivation and merged it with it. Then the corresponding river in his natal Ming Dynasty would also be connected with the world of immortal cultivation. If that river is a river that gathers spiritual energy, then there is no doubt that this mortal river on the side of the natal object Daming will also breed spiritual energy. Vice versa, he himself is the natal object Daming, he can connect himself to the world of immortal cultivation, then everything in Daming can also enter the world of immortal cultivation under the influence of his will.

For the same river, he can dig out an ordinary river directly from his natal object Daming at any time and put it into the world of cultivating immortals. However, there is no point in doing so. By placing your natal object over there and integrating it with some areas, you can fundamentally draw endless spiritual energy into the Ming Dynasty. But putting the Ming Dynasty into the world of cultivating immortals is equivalent to the whole country entering the world of cultivating immortals. If someone is suddenly put in there and dies, he won’t even know how he died. As for letting the people go, although these people are also part of the Ming Dynasty and are controlled by his own will and can be brought back at any time, people's minds have changed, and Jiajing will not do so easily. The world of cultivating immortals is so magical and vast. What if an adventure happens and it gets out of control? Although the possibility is very small, Jiajing doesn't want to cause trouble for himself. He couldn't even trust his own son, so naturally he couldn't trust anyone else. You only need to pick out part of your natal Ming and send it into the world of cultivating immortals. For example, find a spiritual vein for the entire natal Ming and put it in, then you can still draw the spiritual energy of the spiritual vein in. This was one of the ways to quickly develop Daming before he officially obtained the spiritual vein. In fact, in the short term, he didn't need to worry about getting the spiritual vein. For example, Prince Yu of Prince Yu's Mansion wants to practice? It's simple. Just tear down the Prince Yu's Mansion in the Ming Dynasty and put it on the spiritual vein of the Ming Dynasty Immortal Sect, and a steady stream of spiritual energy will flow in. If the entire Ming Dynasty is placed on the spiritual vein of the Ming Dynasty Immortal Sect, then spiritual energy will be born throughout the Ming Dynasty. This is equivalent to digging a well, where water continuously flows from underground to the surface. Compared with planting spiritual veins in Daming, one is to dig a well to get water, the water comes from an underground river, and the other is to be self-sufficient. But right now, he hasn't gotten the spiritual vein yet, so naturally he's not in a hurry to plant a spiritual vein in Daming. He can only do it this way. He couldn't take back the ninth-grade spiritual vein that Li Changqing had given him before. First, he needed to show the sect that he had no second thoughts. Second, Li Changqing's giving him the spiritual vein was an investment in Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Jiajing still hoped to get the spiritual vein himself. "In that case, I will take out the Ming part and put it in the sect. It won't be considered stealing if it absorbs spiritual energy..." Thinking of this, Jiajing had an idea, and took out this part of Lingtian Courtyard from his own destiny. He communicated with the world of immortal cultivation and returned to the inheritance pavilion of the world of immortal cultivation. There was no other way. He could have put the Lingtian Courtyard here without coming here, but he had to put it in the right place, right? So, he had to go there in person. Looking at the spiritual field courtyard in his hand, Jiajing had an idea and cast a talisman to escape underground, going directly into the underground from the inheritance pavilion. As he continued to dive, the spiritual energy became more and more dense. The Heritage Pavilion naturally also had a spiritual vein branch. After diving all the way down, we finally saw a tributary of transparent, viscous liquid buried deep underground, which was as thick as a human body. Seeing this scene, Jiajing held his breath, spread out his palms, and the next moment the Lingtian courtyard was taken out by him. With an idea in his mind, he looked at the small spiritual field in his hand, which was wrapped in gold and was only a small piece of his own Ming Dynasty, and placed it on the spiritual vein. Then, Jiajing set up a ban around him, and if someone touched him, he would sense it immediately. But it doesn't matter. Even in the Ming Dynasty, he can sense everything underground through his life force. If there is anything abnormal, he can recall it at any time. After returning to the Heritage Pavilion, Jiajing had an idea and returned to the Ming Dynasty. He sent his spiritual sense out to check the Lingtian courtyard behind Yuxi Palace, and indeed, he found that a steady stream of fresh spiritual energy was growing there. "Well, next we can open up a blessed land for cultivation outside the capital, and connect it to the immortal cultivation world, so that it can be used as the holy land for cultivation in Daming..."

"However, in this case, the sect has only merged two spirit veins, which is somewhat insufficient... After the subsequent spirit vein business is smooth, it can be supported by integrating a few high-quality ones." After temporarily suppressing these thoughts in his heart, Jiajing looked outside the Yuxi Palace. He already knew that Prince Yu, Prince Jing, and Yan Song and other cabinet members were kneeling outside the door, but he had not taken care of it before. He picked up the chime beside him and swung it casually. With a "clang" sound, the melodious and long sound reached the ears of everyone in the cabinet. Yan Song and others trembled when they heard the voice, and subconsciously looked up at the closed door of Yuxi Palace. "Lv Fang." A long voice sounded. Hearing the call, Lu Fang's heart trembled. Without thinking too much, he quickly stood up, patted the snow on his body, and quickly got up and walked towards the gate of Yuxi Palace. When everyone heard the emperor's voice, they all tried to guess whether there was any difference in it, but unfortunately they heard nothing. "Your servant Lü Fang respectfully welcomes you, the Supreme Daluo Celestial Being/Purple Extreme Immortal/Holy Wisdom/The Ruler of the Three Origins/The Proven Jade Void/The Chief of the Five Thunders/Xuandu Realm/Emperor of the Longevity Realm. Your Majesty, is coming out of retreat." The moment Lu Fang entered the hall, he slid to his knees, put his head on the ground, and congratulated loudly. "Get up," Jiajing said with a slightly relaxed expression, looking at Lv Fang kneeling on the ground, "Take a bath." "Yes," Lu Fang did not dare to neglect, "I will arrange it right away." As she stood up, she quickly glanced at Jiajing's face and found that her master's face was a little pale, with fatigue between his brows. Lu Fang's heart couldn't help but tighten. In the past, when his master came out of seclusion, he always had a rosy face and was full of energy. What happened this time... Could something really have happened between him and the immortal? For a moment, Lu Fang was in a state of confusion. He went out and looked at Huang Jin who was looking up. He lowered his voice and said, "Get ready to take a shower and change clothes." "Yes." Huang Jin saw a hint of gloom between Lu Fang's brows, and without caring about the snow on his body, he got up and left. "I'll go too." Chen Hong was also good at observing people's expressions. He said in a low voice, then quickly got up and followed. Shi San also followed. Yan Song and others naturally stared at Lu Fang's expression the moment Lu Fang appeared. By observing Lu Fang's expression, everyone's heart sank, and they secretly said, something really happened! For a moment, my heart sank. Jiajing naturally didn't know that these people had so many thoughts in their minds. He was indeed very tired, but that was because of his previous fight against "the Way of Heaven". As the saying goes, he was stretched too far, so this happened. This is a drain on the soul, and requires rest and recovery. It cannot be achieved simply by meditating for a short period of time. Soon, Lu Fang prepared all the necessary items for bathing. It was snowing outside the window, Jiajing lay comfortably in the steaming hot tub, moaning unconsciously. Behind him, Lv Fang gently pressed the acupuncture points on his head. Outside Yuxi Palace, Prince Yu, Prince Jing, Qingfeng, and everyone in the cabinet were kneeling outside the door, waiting with different thoughts in their minds. "Master..." At this time, Lu Fang suddenly spoke, seeming to be hesitant to speak. "I know what you want to ask," Jiajing said with his eyes closed, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just made some attempts after breaking through the foundation building, and I'm a little tired. In general..." As he spoke, Jiajing's face widened slightly and he smiled, "It's considered a breakthrough in my cultivation, a happy event!" Building a foundation?! Hearing his master's words, Lu Fang felt relieved at first, as long as his master was fine. However, when he heard that his master had actually broken through to the second great realm on the road to immortal cultivation and became a cultivator in the foundation-building stage, Lu Fang was stunned for a moment, and then his face was filled with ecstasy. "I congratulate my master, the Emperor, for making another step forward in his immortal path!" As she said this, she knelt on the ground and congratulated loudly. "Get up," Jiajing said, "Prince Yu's child was born?" Since it was just a casual chat, Jiajing would not talk about state affairs.

Hearing this, Lu Fang stood up and continued to press the acupoints on Jiajing's head with a smile on his face. "My Lord, it's a little prince." He paused for a moment, "Born on the fourth day of September in the forty-second year of the Jiajing reign. Counting today, it's exactly one hundred days. According to the ancestral system, the Lord must give the prince a name after one hundred days." The naming of the prince usually follows certain rules and etiquette. When the newborn prince is 100 days old, the emperor needs to give him a name, and then send an order to the Ministry of Rites to register it, and then record it in the Imperial Clan Book. Of course, the current emperor is Jiajing, and Prince Yu’s son naturally has to go through Jiajing’s hands. It is indeed Zhu Yijun... Thinking in his heart, Jiajing said secretly, "As expected", he was not surprised about who the son of Prince Yu was. "By the way," Lu Fang said at this time, "there is also Xi'er. Princess Jing also asked the imperial physician in the palace to check her pulse today. I think she is pregnant. Congratulations to the master for having another grandson." "Oh," Jiajing's serious face relaxed after hearing this, "It may not be a grandson yet." He was naturally pleased that the Ming Dynasty royal family had many descendants. "Even if she's a little princess, it's good." Lu Fang agreed with a smile. Jiajing smiled but said nothing. After a while, he fell into a deep sleep under Lu Fang's pressure. While pressing the button, Lu Fang tested the water temperature. As soon as the water got cold, she would immediately take the kettle from the stove and add hot water into the bathtub from time to time. It was snowing heavily outside the palace. After an unknown amount of time, Jiajing yawned, opened his eyes, and stretched. Well, he hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time. Ever since he started to cultivate immortality, he didn't have much time to sleep, as he always had a goal in mind. Even when he was in the Ming Dynasty, he spent more time practicing than sleeping. Now that he has broken through to the foundation and bound to his natal object, the problem of spiritual energy has been basically solved, which can be regarded as the completion of a major goal. For a moment, he felt unprecedentedly relaxed. After putting away his cultivation, he fell into a deep sleep. "How long have I slept?" As he spoke, he stood up from the bathtub, took the loose white Taoist robe handed to him by Lu Fang and put it on. "The master slept soundly for two hours." Lu Fang said, glancing at the heavy snow outside the window, and then said: "Grand Master, the two princes, as well as the cabinet and the eunuch are still kneeling outside the palace." "Yes," Jiajing nodded and walked up to the Daotai's monastery, "Go cook a pot of spiritual porridge to warm them up... Let them all come in, they are also filial." "Yes," Lu Fang bowed slightly, and did not rush to take the spiritual rice from the jade box in the cabinet, but went outside first, "The master cares about you all, come in." At this time, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the people outside the hall, and each of them looked like a snowman in the snow. "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Hearing Jiajing's call, everyone hurriedly thanked him, not caring about their frozen bodies. They relaxed, shook off the snow, quickly got up, and walked towards Yuxi Palace. Upon seeing this, Lu Fang raised his hand and released a gentle spiritual energy that enveloped everyone and drove away the coldness from them. These people have been nourishing their bodies with spiritual objects, so it is not a big deal to stay in the snow for a while. Especially Lu Bing, who has already broken through to the first level of Qi training, so he is not afraid of the cold. Even Yan Song was just a little cold. If we really compare physical fitness, he is probably stronger than some middle-aged people. "Your subjects (sons), pay homage to our emperor (father). May your emperor live forever and rest in peace..." When Prince Yu and others saw Jiajing sitting on the platform, they immediately knelt down and saluted. "Everyone, stand up," Jiajing waved his hand, "You all are so thoughtful, please take a seat..." As he said that, he waved his hand, and several stools in the side hall automatically flew behind everyone.

No one was surprised by the emperor's move. After all, even Lu Fang could wave his hand, throw out talismans, summon strong winds, and use magical skills, so naturally the emperor could do it too. While everyone was greeting each other, Lu Fang had already started boiling spiritual spring water and cooking spiritual porridge. Soon the warm aroma of the porridge wafted around and filled the entire side hall, warmed by the heat from the stove in the main hall. The chillness on everyone slowly dissipated. "Not bad." Jiajing looked at Lu Bing, Prince Yu and Prince Jing with a look of approval. "Wenfu has already broken through to the first level of Qi training. Not bad. Prince Yu and Prince Jing are also about to break through. I think it will take another month or so." “Your Majesty, I have been blessed with what I have today. Otherwise, I would not have been able to cultivate so fast.” Lu Bing, Prince Yu and Prince Jing hurriedly bowed their hands to express their gratitude. "Master, the porridge is ready." Lu Fang took a bowl of cooked spiritual porridge and handed it to Jiajing. "If you want to eat, go get yourself a bowl." Jiajing took the porridge, stirred it with a spoon, blew on the steam, and pointed to a large pot of porridge on the stove beside him with a smile. "It's late now. Let's have dinner with me in Yuxi Palace today." "Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up to express their gratitude, and then lined up, first the Second Prince, then the Imperial Preceptor Qingfeng, then the Prime Minister Yan Song, followed by everyone in the cabinet and the Imperial Household Department, who served the porridge in an orderly manner. Although their house also has a fixed amount of immortal food, they can also drink spiritual porridge and eat spiritual melons and fruits once every three months. But who would complain about having too much spiritual porridge? "The sky does not care when all the white flowers fall, and the plum blossoms are sealed without fragrance. Who can I ask to make soup noodles with fine powder to replace the worldly fireworks?" At this time, Jiajing sat with a jade bowl, looking at the heavy snow, smiling, and said: "My spiritual porridge is definitely better than that soup noodles, huh?" As he spoke, Jiajing leaned forward slightly and looked at everyone with a smile on his face. "The spiritual porridge bestowed by my father is a magical item. It is of course countless times better than that soup noodle!" Prince Yu agreed with a smile. King Jing, who was standing by, also nodded in agreement and said, "The spiritual porridge can not only cleanse the stomach and intestines from the hustle and bustle of life, but eating it can also prolong one's life." Yan Song also spoke with a smile after the two kings finished speaking. "This poem is from the Song Dynasty poet Yang Wanli's "Watching the Snow". The first two lines are: I sit and watch the snow getting deeper and deeper, and it shines coldly at dusk. It dances in the air tiredly, and it becomes busy with a little wind." "It is probably already 3 ., which is similar to the time in the poem. It is snowing heavily outside the window. We are eating porridge in the palace and enjoying the snow. The king and his subjects are in harmony. After drinking the porridge, I feel warm in my heart." "It's already better than anything in the human world. I think Yang Wanli would be extremely envious if he knew about this, huh? Haha..." As soon as these words were spoken, it already implied that the auspicious snow heralded a good harvest, the ruler and his subjects were in harmony, and everyone was happy and joyful, and that being on earth was better than being in the human world. Hearing this, Xu Jie and others also smiled in response. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor was in a good mood, otherwise he wouldn't have recited Yang Wanli's "Viewing the Snow". In that case, it was natural to say something about the New Year. Soon, after the king and his ministers finished drinking porridge, admiring the snow, and cleaning up, it was time to talk about business. "A year has passed since the emperor went into seclusion. At the end of the 41st year of Jiajing, the cabinet promoted the new grain varieties that had yielded good results in experimental fields across the country to the whole country..." Yan Song's voice sounded slowly. "At the same time, at the end of the 41st year of Jiajing, the imperial court conducted a land clearance..." Yan Song glanced at Zhang Juzheng, "I remember that the total amount of land was about 7 million mu." Seeing Yan Song looking at him, Zhang Juzheng, who was mainly responsible for the land reform, nodded and said, "Thanks to the clean-up of the bureaucracy and the implementation of the Single Whip Law, the land reform was successfully implemented." This statement supplemented what Yan Song said. Jiajing listened quietly, his fingers on his knees jumping lightly. Seeing that Jiajing was listening attentively, Yan Song continued to speak. During this year, it can be said that the Ming Dynasty really followed the example of its superiors. Although the Qingliu and Yan factions were still fighting each other in full swing, both sides shared a principle in the development of the court.

That is, in the bottom line of competition to overwhelm the opponent, there is a common goal, which is that the struggle must have results. Moreover, this result must be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, Lu Bing's Jinyiwei and Chen Hong's Western Factory would be afraid that you would not make mistakes. I will remember all the bad debts for you clearly in every minute. By then, if the matter is reported to the emperor, no one will be able to escape harm. The emperor would turn a blind eye to their fight, but if it harmed the interests of the Ming Dynasty, it would be unforgivable. Moreover, they have the status of immortal officials. If they were to be stripped of their titles, that would be a truly unacceptable punishment. Besides, if they really want to fight to the death, isn't there a Japanese island there? That's where they will fight to the death. Well, it doesn’t matter anyway, the people who died are not Ming Dynasty citizens. "The yield of golden grains per mu is about 12 dan. The yield of sweet potatoes per mu is about 70 dan. The yield of yellow taro per mu is about 50 dan." "In one year, the total grain production in the country was 30 million dan." Yan Song said, and paused for a moment, "The emperor said before that there would be a three-year tax exemption, so we only counted the production of new grain..." "Afterwards, the imperial court took out another 10 million taels from the national treasury, exchanged them for some grain from the people, and transferred them to the southeast coast for military supplies..." As Yan Song was speaking, Xu Jie and the others watched their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, not daring to breathe, for fear that the emperor would ask them about it. Now that the Japanese pirates at sea have been eliminated, the equal-field system has been restored, and the Wei-suo system has also been restored, why is it necessary to transfer military supplies? But they knew that they would use these to recruit soldiers, and a small part would be used on the Japanese battlefield. After all, they were two sides playing chess, and they needed supplies to play the game. The emperor didn't explicitly ask them to do these things, so everyone was a little worried that the emperor would ask about them. The account here was actually a confusing one and it was hard to figure it out. Besides, now is not the right time. Fortunately, Yan Song was steady enough and could speak as if it was what should be said. Everyone could not help but look at Yan Song with admiration. Well, it feels like this old guy thinks the emperor doesn’t understand. Of course, they knew that the emperor was not ignorant, but was just cooperating with Yan Song to finish what he was saying. Obviously, the emperor knew their purpose of dividing Japan, and when he didn't ask any further questions, he couldn't help but feel relieved. In the main hall, Yan Song recounted the court's finances, administration, and expenditures over the past year as if he knew everything about them in detail. "Good," Jiajing smiled after hearing this, "Lord Yan has counted all these items one by one, and I can clearly know the destination and use of each sum of money. I am very relieved." "It is all because of your two princes' good assistance in managing the cabinet. I dare not take credit for it." Yan Song nodded modestly. "I know them," Jiajing said, looking at Prince Yu and Prince Jing, "They are still a little young for this important matter of the court. All of this cannot be done without the assistance of your cabinet, and helping me look after my family and my children." "You are all meritorious ministers of our Ming Dynasty!" When it was time to praise, Jiajing was naturally generous with his praise. "It is our duty to share the worries of His Majesty." Everyone stood up, not daring to take credit for it. "You don't have to be modest," Jiajing waved his hand, motioning everyone to sit down and talk, and then said: "Those who have made contributions should be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes should be punished. Elder Yan has made great contributions over the years..." "And now that you are old and have been granted the title of an immortal official, and considering that the future arrangements of my Ming Dynasty cannot be separated from Lord Yan, I will grant you the 'immortal magic'." As he said this, Jiajing raised his hand. Lu Fang on the side understood and took out a stack of 'Qi Inducing Secrets' that he had copied by hand from his storage bag and brought them to Yan Song.

Immortal magic?! At this moment, everyone, including Yan Song himself, was shocked the moment Jiajing finished speaking. This surprise came too quickly! He didn't expect that he would be granted immortal magic just like that! According to what he thought, it would take several years, or even more than ten years, to be granted the immortal power. He didn't expect it to happen so soon. For a moment, Yan Song's whole body began to tremble. Over the years, there have been very few things that could make him lose his composure like this. Before, I learned that the emperor was cultivating immortals, and that he was granted the status of an immortal official was one thing, and now it’s another thing! Yan Shifan, who was standing by, looked at the few thin pages of paper that Lu Fang handed over. His eyes suddenly turned red and his breathing became rapid. At this moment, all the other people in the cabinet turned their eyes to Yan Song. Even Xu Jie, who was usually calm and composed, began to breathe rapidly at this moment. He stared at the scene with his eyes wide open, his fists clenched tightly in his sleeves. Yan Song was actually granted magical powers by the emperor! "Lord Yan, why don't you thank me?" At this time, Lu Fang reminded him with a chuckle. Yan Song reacted immediately, took the "Qi-inducing Technique" with both hands, and knelt down with a "thump", shouting: “Old minister, old minister…” As he spoke, he was so excited that his tone was a little unstable, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy… Thank you, Your Majesty, may your majesty live forever and may you be blessed with great fortune…” After saying that, he started banging his head on the ground. At this moment, no one in the Qingliu community was disgusted by Yan Song's fawning attitude; all were envious, jealous and hateful! Of course, at this moment Yan Song also became the target of public criticism! "..." I said I would update later last night, but I didn’t expect my body couldn’t handle it. Sorry~   (End of this chapter)
