Chapter 759： Royal elixir

Chapter 759 Imperial Gift Elixir

By the time Zhu Ping'an came out of the inner hall, the outer hall was already empty. Yan Song and other ministers returned to the Duan Hut, and when they returned home, only a few eunuchs and maids were waiting.

"Zhuangyuan Lang, let's get closer in the future." Little Zhang Eunuch said on the way to send Zhu Pingan out of the palace.

After Zhu Ping'an received the emperor's commendation and reward, Eunuch Zhang's attitude towards Zhu Ping'an took a 180-degree turn. In the beginning, he treated Zhu Pingan without any false words; later, after Zhu Pingan stuffed him with a red envelope, he treated Zhu Pingan much more gently; now, Eunuch Zhang treats Zhu Pingan like a brother who has been separated for many years.

"As long as Eunuch Zhang doesn't dislike it, peace is what you can wish for." Holding a delicate sandalwood box in his hand, Zhu Pingan replied as he walked.

Zhu Ping'an has a bad impression of Eunuch Zhang. This kind of person is a type of scumbag, and he can add to the cake, but he will definitely not send charcoal in a timely manner, so he is not trustworthy. He is different from Feng Bao, Feng Bao is one of the few eunuchs with integrity.

Of course, although I have classified Eunuch Zhang as an untrustworthy party in my heart, and I am on guard in my heart, I would rather offend a gentleman than a villain.

Just know what you have in mind.

Besides, this kind of person may be needed sometime in the future, and building a good relationship is beneficial but harmless.

Zhu Ping'an would never take the initiative to offend such a person, so at this time, he was also enthusiastic on the surface.

"Hehe, how could the miscellaneous family despise the champion, and I am afraid that the champion will despise the miscellaneous eunuch." Little Eunuch Zhang shook his head with a smile and laughed at himself.

"How can it be, three hundred and sixty lines, and you will be the number one scholar, so why should you belittle yourself." Zhu Pingan raised his head and said solemnly.

Then, Zhu Ping'an fooled Xiao Zhang's father-in-law with the previous set of rhetoric to Feng Bao, "Your father-in-law knows who wrote the first general history masterpiece of 'studying the relationship between heaven and man, understanding the changes of the past and the present, and becoming a family story' ?Who is it that improved papermaking technology so that the civilization of the world can be passed on through the ages? Who is it that made seven voyages to the West and exalted our great Ming dragon power thousands of miles away?"

I have to say this set of rhetoric, for the eunuch, the positive energy is so overwhelming that it cannot be added.

From ancient times to the present, most of the views on eunuchs are contempt, contempt and ridicule, and almost all negative evaluations anyway. However, although the bodies listed by Zhu Ping'an are incomplete, the achievements they have made are unprecedented. No matter how many men with complete bodies want to do it, they can't do it. ,go down in history.

Because these examples are real, they are more convincing and appealing.

"Zhuangyuanlang is talking about Master Sima, Marquis Cai, and Eunuch Zheng?" Little Eunuch Zhang didn't have much resistance to Zhu Pingan's rhetoric.

"So, why don't you belittle yourself, father-in-law." Zhu Ping'an stopped and nodded with a slight smile.

"Hehe, the miscellaneous family will rely on Zhuangyuan Lang's auspicious words." Little Eunuch Zhang clasped his fists with a smile.

While walking and chatting, they soon arrived at the gate of the palace. Eunuch Zhang sent Zhu Pingan out of the palace gate, and reminded: "Zhuangyuan Lang, the elixir bestowed by the Holy One should be taken while it is hot."

"Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me that I will take it with my wife in peace when I get to the mansion." Zhu Ping'an cupped his hands and thanked.

Outside the palace gate, Liu Mu and Liu Dadao saw Zhu Ping'an leaving the palace, and hurriedly led the horse over.

"My lord, what are you holding in your hand?" After getting on his horse and galloping across the street in front of the palace, Liu Dadao looked at the sandalwood box in Zhu Ping'an's hand and asked curiously.

"You talk too much." Liu Mu scolded.

"I'm just curious." Liu Dadao smirked and patted the back of his head.

"Hehe, this, this is the 'elixir' bestowed by the Holy One." Zhu Pingan held on to the horse's reins with one hand, and shook the box in his hand with the other.

In the box Zhu Pingan was holding were two "elixir", which were given to Zhu Pingan by Emperor Jiajing who took the elixir as usual after dinner, thinking of Zhu Pingan's article, couplets, etc. today.

Originally, Zhu Pingan was given one as a reward, and Zhu Pingan was asked to take it on the spot.

However, Zhu Pingan looked at the black and white "heavy metal chemical" in his hand, and really didn't have the courage to swallow it, so he excused that he thought of his newly married wife at home, and couldn't bear to enjoy the elixir to himself, fearing that the story of Chang'e's flight to the moon would be repeated. play.

Emperor Jiajing felt that Zhu Ping'an was deeply affectionate, so he rewarded Zhu Pingan with another one, and asked Zhu Pingan to take it home and the couple to take it together.

God knows how "sincere" the tears in the corners of Zhu Ping'an's eyes were when he thanked the Lord for his kindness.

"What? An elixir?" Liu Dadao was surprised when he heard that there was an elixir in the box, and his mouth opened wide.

Zhu Ping’an was speechless for a while, you’ve heard too many fairy tales, don’t you think about prolonging life, this kind of heavy metal compound is terrible to think about, and it’s no wonder if you don’t get poisoned over time.

But they really can’t be blamed. As native Daming people, it’s not surprising that they have such feudal superstition.

"Young master, I have never heard of anyone who took an 'elixir' and became immortal. On the contrary, I often hear people say that 'the medicine is three-point poison'."

Liu Mu is different from Liu Dadao. He has a pragmatic personality. He used to hear the barefoot doctors in the village say that the medicine is three-point poisonous.

"Why not, the Chang'e in the sky flew to the Moon Palace after eating the elixir, isn't it your son?" Liu Dadao retorted.

Well, do you really believe this? In Zhu Ping'an's eyes, Liu Dadao is equal to a child of two hundred catties at this moment.

"Hehe, go back home."

Zhu Ping'an chuckled, didn't continue talking, and pulled the reins to Linhuaihou's mansion.

It is really not suitable to discuss "elixir" on the street. Factory guards are everywhere. If it gets to the ears of someone with a heart, or the ears of Emperor Jiajing, he will be accused of "discussing elixir".

Half an hour later, in the bedroom of Ting Yuxuan in Linhuaihou Mansion.

"What is this dark thing?"

Li Shu and Baozi’s little maid, like two curious babies, opened the imperial gift box brought by Zhu Ping’an, and saw two dark pills the size of pigeon eggs inside, staring wide-eyed

"Your Majesty thinks that I have made meritorious contributions to the papers and worked hard to check the accounts, so I specially bestowed two elixir." Zhu Pingan shrugged.

"Elixir?!" Baozi's little maid's reaction matched Liu Dadao's, her eyes widened and her mouth opened into an O shape.

"I don't give any useful rewards either."

Li Shu curled her mouth in disdain when she heard the words, and was too lazy to take a second look. She was very disdainful of the elixir bestowed by Emperor Jiajing.

That night, Ting Yuxuan had one more box that was offered, offering two sticks of incense in the morning and evening

I don’t eat it, it’s okay to offer it up, and no one can say anything.
