Ming Jiajing: Starting from Immortality

Chapter 1: The God’s name comes true, and immortality begins!

Ming dynasty.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the fortieth year of the Jiajing reign.

West Garden of the Forbidden City.

Ok Hee Palace.

Incense and candles were lit on the altar of Jinshen Jingshe. On the top was the tablet of Taishang Daojun, and on the bottom were three tablets.

The sign in the middle reads "Lingxiao Shangqing Tonglei Yuanyang Miaoyi Feiyuan Zhenjun"!
The sign on the left reads "Nine Heavens Spreads the Teachings to All Living Beings, Masters the Merits and Demerits of Yin and Yang, Siren, the Purple Extreme Immortal, the One Yang True Man, Yuan Xu Yuan, Ying, the Emperor of Loyalty and Filial Piety, who Enlightens and Subdues Demons"!
The sign on the right reads "Taishang Daluo Celestial Immortal, Purple Extreme, Eternal Life, Holy Wisdom, Brilliant Spirit, Tong Yuan Zheng, Ying Yuxu, Chief of the Five Thunders, Great True Man, Yuandu Realm, Wanshou Emperor"!
These three plaques were made by alchemists after they were discussed, saying that they were the titles of deity bestowed by heaven on Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty.

Fei Yuan Zhenjun, Zhongxiao Emperor, and Wanshou Emperor are in charge of longevity, yin and yang merits and demerits. With Yuan Yang in their chests and Five Thunders in their hands, all demons and evil spirits in the world can be subdued.

Wearing a Taoist robe and a round crown made of fragrant herbs on his head, Zhu Houcong sat on a cushion in front of the altar.

"Ding, the magical power of calling the wind and rain succeeded, people's support +1, the divine name lights up."

At this time, the sky above the Ming Dynasty was dark and starless, and a heavy snowfall occurred.

Then another one!
Then another one!
In the boundless black sky over the two capitals and thirteen provinces, snowflakes fell silently and without a trace.

In the Yanfang Lingnan area, the flat ground was covered with more than an inch of snow.

"Snow!"

The eunuch's voice was already shrill, and this shout was stretched out so that it immediately spread throughout the empty night sky of the palace.

Zhu Houcong gradually opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.

After hiding for nearly half a month, he finally lit up the divine horn. Now, he was no longer afraid of being strangled by the palace maids.

When he woke up, he became the eleventh emperor of the Ming Dynasty, known in history as Emperor Jiajing.

But at this moment, the Ming Empire's national strength had declined to the extreme, the court was spending excessively, corruption was rampant among officials, the treasury was empty, the people were living in poverty, and God was angry and the people were resentful.

Since the beginning of winter, there has been no snow in the capital and several neighboring provinces.

If it doesn't snow again, there will definitely be a locust plague this year, with starving people everywhere, countless rumors in the court and the public, and the people in panic.

The director of the Imperial Observatory, Zhou Yunyi's "theory of divine punishment" directly angered the emperor and brought him death.

The emperor issued a self-criticism edict, hid in a monastery to pray for snow, and died after taking a lead and mercury pill.

Zhu Houcong, whose soul traveled from the new century, naturally inherited the legacy of his predecessor.

Emperor.

He wakes up and holds the power of the world, but he lies drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman.

Zhu Houcong may still have power, but his beauty knees, frequent consumption of heavy metals and body over 50 years old have long been like a sieve.

If there was no system, Zhu Houcong would have committed suicide on the spot.

……

【Holy Emperor System】

【National Fortune Point: 290】

[God's name: Feiyuan Zhenjun, Zhongxiao Emperor, Wanshou Emperor. Note: The god's name will light up when the people's support is 50 or above, otherwise it will go out. ]

Note, it consumes national fortune points to perform.]

Popular support.

It is the cornerstone of everything.

This not only represents the stability of the country, but also lights up the three major divine names.

The divine powers of Feiyuan Zhenjun, Zhongxiao Emperor and Wanshou Emperor can make Zhu Houcong have Yuanyang in his chest, Five Thunders in his hands, and live forever.

After the divine number was lit up, Zhu Houcong felt that his body was being repaired and strengthened all the time.

Zhu Houcong looked at the palm of his hand and saw a purple electric light twisting and changing. This thing could kill people.

There are two capitals and thirteen provinces. One capital or one province produces national fortune points corresponding to the people's support every day.

The public opinion was 49 before, 15*49, the two capitals and thirteen provinces produce 735 national fortune points per day, 735*14, a total of 10290 national fortune points.

To use the magical powers of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals requires a large amount of National Luck Points. Take the ability to call the wind and rain as an example. To use it once in the Ming Dynasty would require ten thousand National Luck Points.

However, the effect is extraordinary. After being used, it can permanently increase public support.

Zhu Houcong was very satisfied.

……

"Boom boom boom!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! It's snowing! God has sent down auspicious snow! Such a heavy snow!"

The eunuch Feng Bao, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot, knocked lightly on the palace door and reported the auspicious sign.

Zhu Houcong's voice came from inside: "Come in!"

Feng Bao was immediately overjoyed.

This is the abode where the emperor practices Taoism. Ever since the emperor began fasting and praying for snow, no one has heard his voice, let alone called him.

At this time, when she heard the emperor calling her in, she must have thought that the emperor was happy. The grand road leading to the Imperial Household Department seemed to be right in front of her.

The eunuch commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot was already one of the most powerful eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty. If he climbed up a level, he would be in the Imperial Household Department.

The dream of the 100,000 eunuchs in the palace.

The palace door opens.

Feng Bao came in hurriedly, walked gently to the front of the veil, and knelt down: "Your servant kowtows to the Holy Emperor!"

"The East Factory Commander has a hard time."

Zhu Houcong looked through the veil at this eunuch who was famous throughout the ages, and his tone was flat.

Auspicious signs have come.

Ouchi fell silent.

It goes without saying that it was Feng Bao who forced the eunuchs to keep silent and then rushed to report the auspicious sign.

The eunuchs who hold the seal and the eunuchs who hold the pen of the Imperial Household Department are still alive. It is not Feng Bao who should come to report the auspicious omen.

This is usurpation!

How many mysteries of heaven and how much thunder and rain are hidden in these words?

Feng Bao didn't know whether he was panicking or nervous. He knocked his head down so hard that the mountain roared. "I deserve to die! I deserve to die! I just want to report the good news to the emperor as soon as possible. I have no other thoughts after I die."

The lattice door in the middle of the monastery was wide open, and the wind outside the palace might carry a few snowflakes through the lattice windows and then through the lattice door and drift into the monastery.

The wind lifted the veil a little, and Zhu Houcong, who was hiding inside, was obviously not afraid of the cold, and obviously liked the snowflakes floating in.

After a moment, a clear and melodious sound of a bronze chime was heard. Feng Bao stopped talking and raised his bruised forehead.

When he saw the emperor's black hair turning black and his face rosy, he was shocked.

"Dead or alive, go ask your ancestors later."

Zhu Houcong held the pestle in his hand and said in a stern tone: "The court is spending without limit, the government is corrupt, and the East Factory patrols are everywhere, why is there no report?"

Feng Bao subconsciously avoided the emperor's gaze and answered respectfully: "A wise king is in power, and the court is full of fierce ministers. There are expenses and corruption, but occasionally there are rebellious ministers who slander the court."

The emperor's question reminded him of Zhou Yunyi's voice, which seemed very close, yet also very far away. "The court is spending excessively... This is a warning from heaven... A warning from heaven..."

Could it be that Zhou Yunyi’s words frightened the emperor?
"Just?"

Zhu Houcong stared at Feng Bao, then laughed in anger and said, "Go call your ancestors."

The wind stopped.

The veil fell.

Blocking Feng Bao's view of trying to figure out the emperor's mind, he left Yuxi Palace unknowingly. Without giving it much thought, he hurried to the duty room of Silijian.

……

In the heavy snow.

When the young eunuch holding a lantern led Feng Bao in from the moon gate of the courtyard, the eunuch Lu Fang, who was wearing a white fox fur scarf, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department's seal, Chen Hong, the chief eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department's pens, and Huang Jin, Shi Yi, and Meng Chong, the three eunuchs in charge of the Imperial Household Department's pens, had obviously been waiting for a long time.

Feng Bao felt a chill run down his spine. He took two steps at a time and knelt down in the snow at the steps in front of Lu Fang. "I congratulate my godfather and all my brothers. The snow will make the emperor happy, and my godfather and brothers will be able to do their jobs better."

His head hit the snow, making a dent, and Feng Bao knelt there with his head bowed, very respectful.

The people in the palace are very smart. If you pluck out an eyebrow, it will be empty.

Seeing Feng Bao's expression, one knew that his rush to report the auspicious sign did not gain any good results from the Emperor. At least, he did not make further progress and failed to enter the Imperial Household Department.

Chen Hong, Shi Yi and Meng Chong looked at Feng Bao and smiled mockingly at the same time.

Even Huang Jin, who had always been close to Feng Bao, looked at Feng Bao as if he were an idiot.

You may want to enter the Imperial Household Department, but you can't make it known to everyone. Everyone is eager to show off and even ignore the rules.

I didn't get to eat the mutton, but I ended up in trouble.

Only Lu Fang did not change at all, still smiling, and asked, "Does the emperor know about the auspicious omen?"

"In reply to godfather, I have already reported the auspicious sign to the emperor on your behalf," Feng Bao replied quickly.

"Meet the emperor?"

"To answer godfather's question, my son has seen it."

"What did the Emperor say?"

Feng Bao was silent for a moment, then replied, "My son knelt outside the palace gate to announce the good news. The emperor summoned my son to the palace to answer questions. He asked my son why the East Factory did not report back on Zhou Yunyi's treasonous words on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month."

In front of so many people, Feng Bao certainly didn't dare to tell the emperor that his usurpation and petty thoughts had been seen through, so he concealed it and said the second half of Yuxi Palace's words.

However, they kept the Zhou Yunyi incident vague and deliberately diverted the thoughts of Lu Fang and others from the emperor blaming the East Factory for monitoring the court and government corruption to the emperor blaming the East Factory for failing to find Zhou Yunyi's backstage slandering the court.

Although both statements are about the East Factory's poor performance, they have completely different meanings.

As expected, the four eunuchs in charge of the Imperial Household Department, who had remained silent all turned their eyes to Feng Bao.

Everyone was shocked and suspicious.

Zhou Yunyi was an official in charge of overseeing celestial phenomena. When he was slandering the imperial court, he was able to describe the court's expenses last year so clearly. It is not difficult to guess his background.

The clean official in the court, or... His Royal Highness Prince Yu.

The Qingliu were deliberately supported by the emperor to check and balance the Yan party in the court.

His Royal Highness Prince Yu is the Emperor's biological son.

and so.

No one dared to investigate, nor could they investigate. Once an investigation was made, the Ming Dynasty would immediately fall into chaos.

Could it be that the emperor has lost his mind due to his seclusion? Is he really going to find out the real culprit behind this offense against the holy name and the imperial power?

The emperor has always attached great importance to power and his reputation, so it is not impossible.

Chen Hong couldn't bear it any longer and asked, "Feng Bao, how did you answer?"

Feng Bao continued to lower his head and said respectfully: "In reply to Senior Brother, Your Majesty is the most holy and wise. All the ministers of our Ming Dynasty are loyal and capable. People like Zhou Yunyi are just some traitors. Your Majesty does not need to care about them at all."

Chen Hong asked again, "What did the emperor say?"

"The emperor smiled, and then ordered me to invite godfather and all the brothers to come to Yuxi Palace to see him."

"Nothing else?"

"No…"

"Raise your head!" Lu Fang interrupted their conversation, still smiling on his face, but his words revealed that he would not tolerate disobedience.

As the emperor's companion for fifty years, Lu Fang knew very well that the emperor would never ask meaningless questions and would never take the initiative to bring trouble upon himself.

The emperor would never ask about Zhou Yunyi's background, nor would he think of investigating Qingliu and Prince Yu.

Between intuition, years of experience, and Feng Bao, Lu Fang chose the former.

Feng Bao is lying!
Or not entirely true!

After entering the palace for decades, Lu Fang understood best that the hardest thing to distinguish is never lies, but the "truth" that is nine out of ten true and one false.

Feng Bao was stunned and stood there stiffly.

During this moment of hesitation, Lu Fang understood. Without looking at him again, he turned to the three eunuchs Chen, Shi, and Meng standing behind him and said, "Go and see the emperor."

The cloaks and white fox fur sleeves were already in their hands. The eunuchs behind them immediately put the cloaks on the three people and put on the fox fur sleeves.

Soon after, the oilcloths on the three sedan chairs in the yard were lifted. Although the three eunuchs in charge of writing did not understand the true meaning, they could only walk down the steps and sit on the sedan chairs. With the help of their respective eunuchs, they covered their knees with a piece of sharp leather felt.

Four people carried the sedan chair out of the gate of the Imperial Household Department in the heavy snow.

"Jin'er."

Hearing Lu Fang's call, Huang Jin, who was right beside him, quickly responded, "My son is here."

"Go and deliver the third and fourth brocade boxes in my room to Yuxi Palace. Remember to send them in through the door on the wall that connects the Jingshe to the main hall."

"Yes."

Huang Jin heard the voice and did as he was told.

The eunuchs in charge of seals and pens of the Imperial Household Department all had their own rooms in the palace, but Lu Fang's room was the most mysterious. Outsiders were never allowed in, and no one knew what was inside.

This was the first time for Huang Jin to enter the room. He pushed the door open and saw a number of square golden nanmu brocade boxes that were a foot long. On the bed at the innermost part of the room, he took two brocade boxes and walked out, striding towards Yuxi Palace.

Lu Fang calculated the time and when it was about time, he sat in the sedan chair and left the Imperial Household Department.

Wherever he passed, there were voices of cheering and announcing auspiciousness, and the entire palace was in a state of excitement.

Due to the eerie atmosphere, the eunuchs who were supposed to be on duty here did not dare to stay here and they all went out one by one. In the empty courtyard of the Silijian duty room, only Feng Bao was left kneeling on the snow.

Perhaps because they were too suppressed, the eunuchs all shouted at the top of their lungs to report auspicious signs, and every sound reached Feng Bao's ears.

At this moment, he realized that his cleverness seemed to have made another huge mistake.

……

Yuxi Palace is just ahead.

Lu Fang stopped his sedan chair. The three eunuchs Chen, Shi, Meng and Huang Jin all got off the sedan chair and waited. When they saw him coming, they all came forward to greet him.

Lu Fang got off the sedan chair and glanced at Huang Jin. Seeing Huang Jin nod, he felt relieved and said, "Quick, come and pay your respects to the emperor."
