Guide to traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty

Doctors and Taoist priests kept coming, and the number increased, reaching two to three hundred people in a blink of an eye.

The location was also moved to Yeonbok Palace because it was close to the Secretariat Province, so many civil servants came to watch.

Song Huizong looked ugly and sat on the golden chair.

The waiter had already brought out the table, and the giant Ganoderma lucidum was placed on it. Doctors and Taoist priests took turns coming to check.

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty said: "Call all the doctors from Hanlin Medical Academy!"

The eunuch agreed and hurriedly went to Hanlin Medical Academy to convey the order.

After struggling for most of the day, Song Huizong called by name: "Yang Aiqing, last month I had diarrhea after eating ice, and you made me recover by decoction in ice water. Aiqing has superb medical skills, how much spiritual energy does this Ganoderma lucidum have?"

Imperial doctor Yang Jilao stepped forward bravely: "The official family is rich, but I have only learned human medical skills, but this Ganoderma lucidum is a fairy. Human doctors... don't know how to understand fairy medicine."

Song Huizong asked the priest again: "Mr. Tongmiao, you claim to be a disciple of Xu Zhenren (Xu Xun, the four great Taoist masters). Before Xu Zhenren ascended to immortality, he had superb medical skills. You also know how to make elixirs and medicines. Let's see if this sesame can be refined. The elixir?"

Wang Zixi bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, this mushroom is indeed as Xianggong Zhu said. It has been for nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-seven years. In three years, it will be a great achievement and become an immortal. But picking it in advance will ruin the spirit of the spirit, and the spiritual energy will be picked by itself." The medicine is still effective, but it is not as good as before. I really cannot guarantee that I can refine the elixir of death."

Not sure?

That means it’s still possible!

Song Huizong suddenly grasped a glimmer of hope and asked: "How sure are you?"

Wang Zaixi said: "Only one point."

Song Huizong was discouraged again and asked: "Does the spirit of Ganoderma lucidum reincarnate with a lot of spiritual energy?"

Wang Zixi didn't know the situation, and he didn't want to find any reincarnation of the elf. He immediately replied: "The reincarnation of the elf has already become a mortal body, and half of its spiritual energy has been exhausted a long time ago."

Song Huizong said: "Oh, forget it."

However, Zhu Guoxiang's face was gloomy and he stared at the Dog Emperor. He vaguely heard some meaning.

Song Huizong looked at Lin Lingsu: "Does Mr. Yuanmiao have any ideas?"

Lin Lingsu said: "Although most of the spiritual energy of this mushroom has been exhausted, it is still stronger than ordinary medicines. I would like to serve as the ambassador of medicine refining and summon people who are proficient in medicine refining from all over the world to refine elixirs for longevity and longevity for the officials!"

This is to take the opportunity to ask for assignments and then expand one's power.

Wang Zaixi immediately woke up and said: "I would like to serve as the ambassador of refining medicine and do my best for the officials and their families!"

Song Huizong looked at Xue Daoguang, Liu Hunkang and other Taoist priests again.

Xue Daoguang said: "I am good at inner elixirs, but not good at refining elixirs."

Liu Hunkang also said: "I am good at talismans and feng shui, but not good at refining elixirs."

The Taoist priests clearly saw the current situation. Wang Zai wanted to compete with Lin Lingsu for favor, and no one wanted to get involved.

Song Huizong thought carefully and felt that Wang Zaixi was more professional in refining medicine, while Lin Lingsu was good at rituals and talismans, so he said: "To promote Tongmiao Zhenren Wang Zaixi to be the ambassador of medicine refining, all pharmacies in the world must fully cooperate with him. "

Wang Zixi was overjoyed: "I will definitely do my best!"

Lin Lingsu lowered her head with a sinister look on her face, determined to kill Wang Zaixi.

It was getting late, and Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty ordered the medical practitioners to retreat, leaving Zhu Guoxiang alone.

Faced with a table full of delicacies and countless talented people around him, Song Huizong still had no interest. He threw down his chopsticks and said to himself: "Fate has a way with people, and the road to immortality is twists and turns. What can I do?"

Zhu Guoxiang showed his earnestness in dealing with the inspections of senior leaders in the past and consoled him: "What you lose is what you gain, and this may be God's test for Your Majesty. If the official family fails to recover, God may be disappointed. If the official family perseveres, it will be a success." A heart devoted to the Tao can feel the movement of heaven and earth, and it is also unknown if an immortal descends to earth and personally delivers the elixir."

"By the way, there are immortals too!"

Song Huizong finally regained his energy and asked, "Sir, have you ever met an immortal overseas?"

Zhu Guoxiang said: "I only meet a strange person, I don't know whether he has become an immortal."

Song Huizong said eagerly: "Please tell me in detail."

Zhu Guoxiang said: "At that time, I encountered a strong storm on the sea, and I wandered for several months without knowing anything. When I arrived at a small island, there was a man with gray hair and a childish face. He invited me to the island for a banquet. The wine was sweet and clear, and I didn't know what kind of grain it was brewed from. There is no meat in the dishes, only seasonal vegetables and fruits. Before leaving, a foreigner gave corn and sweet potato seeds as a gift, saying that these two things will benefit the world."

Song Huizong asked: "Since you are returning by boat, can you remember the journey on the sea?"

Zhu Guoxiang shook his head: "Perhaps he was drunk. After boarding the ship, he became drunk. When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived at the coast. Even the appearance of the strange man could not be remembered clearly. I could only vaguely remember his white-haired childlike appearance."

"He is a true immortal with great power," Song Huizong asked again, "Has the immortal ever taught immortal magic?"

Zhu Guoxiang said: "I do have something more in my mind. It's not about cultivation methods, but about farming, arithmetic, physics and the like. Sometimes I remember some Taoist poems, but I don't understand their meaning and I often forget them."

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty lamented: "It is indeed difficult to find immortal magic. Even if you meet an immortal, you will find nothing."

Zhu Guoxiang said: "I let the officials down."

"If your destiny is like this, you should still strive to seek immortality," Song Huizong asked, "My daughter has just been born, does she have a name?"

Zhu Guoxiang said: "The day after my daughter was born, I followed the emperor's mission and I didn't even have time to name her."

Song Huizong said: "Since he is the reincarnation of an elf, he should be named Zhu."

Zhu Guoxiang said: "I have little talent and little knowledge. I don't know how to write the word xiú."

Song Huizong dipped his finger in wine, wrote "苬", and said: "苋 is Ganoderma lucidum."

Zhu Guoxiang felt that it was really unpleasant, and it didn't have any good meaning, so he decided to call his daughter Zhu Yin with a horizontal line: "Thank you to the official for the name."

Song Huizong said: "Since you have met a fairy, you must be a member of my Taoist sect, and you should be named Mr. Six Characters."

At this time, the Taoist level is twenty-sixth, and Mr. Liuzi is already the highest level, equivalent to a doctor from the fourth grade.

For example, Xue Daoguang belongs to Mr. Liuzi and is titled "Zixian Yuanming Zhenren". He is from the fourth grade, while Ju Ming is only from the eighth grade. There is a huge difference in salary and benefits.

Zhu Guoxiang declined politely: "In the official family, the dog is the third person to pass the palace examination. According to our laws in the Song Dynasty, sons of monks and Taoists cannot take the imperial examination to become officials. Even if the court is open to the public, it only allows industrial and commercial imperial examinations. I became a Taoist official, Dogs cannot become sergeants."

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty said: "Everything can be made an exception. Moreover, the sons of monks and Taoists cannot take the imperial examination, which really hid many talents. I will issue an order in the future so that the descendants of Taoist priests can also take the imperial examination."

Are the rules so casually broken?

Zhu Guoxiang sighed in his heart, the emperor's death was not unjust when his country was overthrown.

Zhu Guoxiang said: "But I don't understand Taoism, and I have never studied Taoism."

Song Huizong said: "I will grant you the title of 'Master Tongshu Mingdao' and promote Huiling Guan's official duties. Add 'Doctor of Arithmetic' to teach you the arithmetic given by the immortal."

Huiling Temple is a Taoist temple in the south of Tokyo. Not everyone can recommend this temple.

The first person to receive this assignment was Li Ruogu. At that time, Li Ruogu's position was Bachelor of Zizhengdian (this official position was mostly awarded to dismissed prime ministers or important ministers)!

After thinking about it, Song Huizong added: "My concubine should also be given an official title and should be called the 'Psychic Chixia Zhenren'."

No matter how well-informed Zhu Guoxiang was, he was still dumbfounded at this moment. His newborn daughter actually became a fourth-grade Taoist official.

Before Song Huizong finished speaking, he added another sentence: "When my concubine reaches the age of hairpin, I would like to adopt her as an adopted daughter and canonize her as clan concubine (county head)."

This emperor is really crazy!

Zhu Guoxiang didn't even dare to refuse. Who knew that the already crazy emperor would do something out of nowhere, so he immediately bowed and thanked him: "This is a gift from the official family, and I am very grateful."

Zhu Guoxiang was a little scared to find a chance to leave the capital. He didn't like this feeling of floating in the clouds.

You can't step on the ground, it's all hollow, and you will die miserably if you fall.

That night, Zhu Guoxiang was stayed in Yanfu Palace and held a candle-lit night talk with Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty.

The next day, Song Huizong took Zhu Guoxiang to visit Yanfu Palace and asked for some tips on grafting flowers and trees.

Zhu Guoxiang pointed out that some plants were grown illegally and taught Song Huizong to identify soil properties and the classification and functions of various flower fertilizers.

After some conversation, Song Huizong was so convinced that he ordered Zhu Meng to transport all kinds of soil from the south.

Therefore, Zhu Guoxiang was continued to stay in the palace and exchanged knowledge about flowers and trees with the emperor every day.

On the fifth day, Song Huizong was very happy and said to Zhu Guoxiang: "My husband does not have a mansion in Tokyo yet. I have sent people to find a good place and demolish the residences to build a big house for my husband."

Zhu Guoxiang was so frightened that he lost all regard for his dignity and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Please take back the official order. If you demolish private houses and build houses for me, how can I have the dignity to live in the capital? Your Majesty really wants to give me a house. Choose a house in the suburbs." Just build a house on the land.”

Song Huizong sighed with emotion: "Sir is really kind and righteous, and I will not make things difficult for you. The Imperial College is building a school building in the southern suburbs, and there is still some open space left. Some more land is allocated, five hectares (500 acres) are collected, and the Ministry of Industry is ordered to build a Residence. Sir, I will temporarily stay in the city. I will ask the officials to clear a garden and wait until the residence in the southern suburbs is completed before moving there."

This time, instead of forcibly demolishing houses, hundreds of acres of farmland will be enclosed.

Most of the cultivated land around Bianliang is owned by established dignitaries.

It is estimated that he will attack a certain nobleman with little influence. Not only will he give 500 acres to build a house for Zhu Guoxiang, but he will also reward the tenants living there, as well as the surrounding land and tenants, to Zhu Guoxiang.

Dean Zhu instantly achieved his ambition at the beginning of time travel, and he was about to become a big landowner!

But the more the emperor behaved like this, the more danger Zhu Guoxiang felt and he couldn't wait to escape Tokyo.

Zhu Guoxiang was left in Yanfu Palace for half a month.

The news spread outside the palace, and all civil and military officials were shocked.

Cai Jing, Zheng Juzhong, Wang Fu, Xue Daoguang, Wang Zaixi, Lin Lingsu and others, even if they were favored again, would not stay in the palace for more than five days.

What a great grace!

On the day Zhu Guoxiang left Yanfu Palace, he was given a purple robe and purple ribbon, a luxurious carriage, eight maids, twelve male servants, and gold and silver worth a thousand guan.

"Zhenzhen Zhu, please get in the car." A eunuch knelt down to please.

Not only did the eunuchs lead him away, he was also allowed to ride in a carriage in the palace, and a team of golden melon guards were allowed to clear the way.

Zhu Guoxiang looked at the luxurious carriage and then at the eight maids beside the carriage, and he had no idea what to say.

The eight maids given by the emperor are all palace maids!

Twelve male servants were waiting outside the palace, and they were selected from the imperial army.
