Chapter 895 Lame Two
the next day,
It was just dawn, and outside the palace where Jiang Hao lived, there were people waiting outside. A waiter knocked on the door, and a dozen palace maids came in immediately, some carrying buckets and others holding basins, and the maids were holding clean robes.
"Doctor Jiang, according to the order of the government order, the sacrifice at Chenshi has officially started, and His Majesty will still get up, take a bath and change clothes." A palace official said.
Jiang Hao looked at the sky outside, he was really anxious.
After bathing and changing clothes, Jiang Hao followed the waiter to the back garden. At this moment, the back garden was surrounded by heavy guards. The altar in the gazebo had been set up to offer three animals, four fruits, five grains, etc., and several futons were placed on the ground.
The First Emperor was already waiting by the side, seeing Jiang Hao coming over and asking, "What do I need to do?"
"Your Majesty just bow and stand aside. When my prayer is over, sit cross-legged and meditate with me to express your piety. However, Your Majesty does not need to learn from me. You can get up and rest when you are tired." Jiang Hao said.
"I understand, let's start the sacrifice."
Jiang Hao reached out his hand and took out the jade seal of the Heavenly Master from his cuff, placed it on the altar, and then performed the etiquette of the Taoist worship. Jiang Hao had only participated in the Maoshan worship ceremony once before, but he still remembered the etiquette.
The worship was very cumbersome, and it took about half an hour. Jiang Hao slowly sat on the futon. Qin Shihuang saw it, and sat down, imitating Jiang Hao, closing his eyes and meditating. Zhao Gao's eyes flickered. At this moment There were only the three of them in the room, and he also quietly sat down cross-legged.
Time passed by every minute and every second.
Jiang Hao usually sleeps with exercises and sits all night without feeling tired at all, but Qin Shihuang is tall and a little fat, so sitting is very uncomfortable, and his legs feel numb after a while.
He opened his eyes to look at Jiang Hao, remained motionless, and continued to close his eyes after thinking about it.
Time ticks, never stops.
From morning to noon, from noon to night, Qin Shihuang and Zhao Gao couldn't hold on for a long time. They had gotten up several times to eat and go to the bathroom, but Jiang Hao was always sitting there motionless, like a clay sculpture, but this Let Shi Huangdi and Zhao Gao feel admiration.
At night, Jiang Hao still didn't wake up, and his breathing became much weaker.
In fact, Jiang Hao has already entered a state of deep cultivation at this moment. He had received a lot of benefits from Lu Zhi before, and he hadn't practiced meditation practice well. This time is a good opportunity. Jiang Hao plans to use these three days to temper his spiritual energy.
Practice and pretend!
One day and one night passed, Qin Shihuang came over the next day, asked the guards of the palace, and learned that Jiang Hao remained motionless last night.
Qin Shihuang thought for a while, feeling the hope rising in his heart was getting bigger and bigger, he quietly sat on the futon, and then sat up quietly.
one day,
two days,
three days
During these three days, Jiang Hao never ate or drank a sip of water, nor did he get anxious, and remained motionless, like a clay statue.
Looking at the time, three days have come, and Qin Shihuang has become a little impatient, thinking, something happened to Jiang Hao, right?
Just then, a voice sounded,
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Taoist ancestor passed down the great law!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Hao slowly got up, and Qin Shihuang found that Jiang Hao's face was rosy, and he definitely didn't look like sitting for three days and three nights without water or rice, but now is not the time to think about these things, Qin Shihuang asked a little excitedly: "Really?" Did you teach the exercises, what is it?"
Jiang Hao nodded, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Taoist ancestor taught the exercise, which is called the 'Five Emperors'!"
"Five Emperors Sutra? What do you mean, tell me quickly." Qin Shihuang said in a hurry.
"Yellow Emperor, Zhuanxu, Di Ku, Yao, and Shun, the five great emperors are all disciples of Taoist ancestors. The practice they practice is the 'Five Emperors Sutra'. It is most suitable for Your Majesty." Jiang Hao said.
Qin Shihuang was overjoyed, not only was he able to become an immortal, but he also had such a high status. This result made him very satisfied.
"Please also ask your majesty to order someone to bring a pen, ink and silk cloth, and I will write down the "Five Emperors" for your majesty." Jiang Hao said.
Qin Shihuang immediately shouted, "Zhao Gao, hurry up and get ready."
"It's Your Majesty, it will be done right away."
Not long after everything was ready, Jiang Hao stood at the table and began to write. While meditating, he had already compiled the content of the Five Emperors Sutra.
""Five Emperors Classic", the essence of the Dao, the sly and dark, the extreme of the Dao, the bastards are silent, keep the spirit and keep quiet, the shape is longevity..."
"Cultivating the four realms of Taoism, refining essence to transform qi, refining qi to transform spirit, refining spirit to return emptiness, refining emptiness to join the Tao..."
". Yun Jin Feng Luo gold button wrapped, in order to replace hair and skin, hand in hand with mountaineering liquid pills, gold books and jade scenes can be announced, passed on to the three officials, don't let the Seventh Patriarch suffer from the dark, the Taishang whispered to the gods , the true text of the Way of Immortality."
A piece of "The Classic of the Five Emperors" that Jiang Hao understood and edited was freshly released. Jiang Hao was not stingy, and sent 6,600 words in a cool and unrestrained manner, and sent it to the first emperor warmly.
The first emperor was excited, dragging the silk book and laughing, "I finally got the fairy book, from now on I can pursue the way of longevity." Turning to look at Jiang Hao, he said loudly: "Now I will give you the title of "Tai Zhu Ling" , in charge of the sacrifices and prayers throughout the country.”
Jiang Hao knew about the Taizhu order, the three lords and the nine ministers, the first of the nine ministers is Fengchang, also called Taichang, there are six officials under Taichang, Taile, Taizhu, Dazai, Taishi, Taibu, and Taiyi In today's words, Jiuqing is a minister, and Taizhu is the deputy minister in charge of a department. This position is already very high, and he is a high-ranking official in any dynasty.
What is Taizhu's job? When we are between heaven and man, we should tell the gods with words, greet the gods and send them off in the sacrifices, use ghosts and gods to express, pray for good fortune, and pray for eternal chastity.
Taizhu usually lives in Taizhu Ci, which is somewhat similar to Taoist temples. It is usually used when there are major events and festivals that need to be sacrificed to heaven and earth. For example, when Qin Shihuang went to Taishan to enshrine Zen, Taizhu must be indispensable.
And his former imperial physician originally belonged to the Imperial Physician Order. Under the Imperial Physician Order there was an Imperial Physician, and under the Imperial Physician there was an Imperial Physician. Jiang Hao had the final say, at most one division-level official.
Now he has jumped from the division level to the deputy minister level.
"Your Majesty, I am exhausted, please go back and rest." Jiang Hao said weakly.
When Qin Shihuang saw it, he immediately agreed, "Okay, you can go to rest, and I will go back to study the Five Emperors Sutra carefully, and I will summon you again in a few days."
Jiang Hao bowed to leave, and the palace servants led him out. Zhao Gaozao had made arrangements to send Jiang Hao back to the inn in a palace carriage.
Jiang Hao pushed open the door and startled Lu Zhi. Seeing that it was his lord coming back, he ran over and threw himself into Jiang Hao's arms, "Mr.
Jiang Hao gently touched the woman's smooth little face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if something goes wrong, I can run out. The people in the palace still can't keep me. I haven't showered for three days. I have to take care of myself." Take a bath, and order some delicious food on the table."
"Does the First Emperor care about food?" Lu Zhi asked curiously.
"Hehe, I really don't care about food."
After Jiang Hao left, the First Emperor took the "Five Emperors Classic" and began to study it carefully. Zhao Gao waited on him, but his heart seemed to grow grass. He always wondered whether Jiang Hao and the Taoist ancestor asked him for the Dharma, or whether Jiang Hao asked for it. Did Daozu agree to pass it on to him?
At this moment, Zhao Gao only felt that his heart was being scratched by a hundred claws, and the days felt like years.
In the blink of an eye, at noon, a palace servant came in with a tray. On the tray was a jade box. Next to the jade box was a jade bowl with a bowl of clear water. The palace servant came to the first emperor and knelt respectfully, "Your Majesty! , it's time to take the pill."
This palace man was dedicated to serving the first emperor to take pills, one pill at noon and one at night, nothing could be shaken.
According to the management in the past, the first emperor stretched out his hand to open the jade box, revealing the cinnabar-red pills inside, and picked up a peanut-sized pill and was about to put it in his mouth. The medicine is poisonous, now that you have obtained the method of cultivating immortals, do you still need to take the medicine?"
Qin Shihuang paused for a moment, looked at the elixir in his hand, suddenly smiled, and said, "You say that Jiang Hao is a fairy or a man?"
Zhao Gao didn't know what the first emperor meant, but he quickly replied, "Nature is a human being."
"Hehe, human beings have selfishness. I admit that Jiang Hao has great abilities, but it is inevitable for ordinary people to have selfishness. Now that he comes to me and wants to be my sole favor, he will naturally belittle those alchemists. What do you think?"
Zhao Gao is a conspirator, so he naturally understands this truth.
The First Emperor put the crimson elixir into his mouth, took a sip from the jade bowl next to it, and sent the elixir down.
"In the future, I will practice this "Five Emperors Classic", I will also eat this elixir, and I will increase my efforts to find immortal grass. Didn't Jiang Hao say that lead and mercury can only refine low-grade elixir, and immortal grass can be refined?" The middle-grade medicinal pills can nourish the body and refresh the mind, and assist in cultivation. In this way, I will use all the upper, middle and lower grades together, and it will definitely achieve the best effect."
Speaking of this, Qin Shihuang took another one out of the box and put it in his mouth, Zhao Gao was startled and immediately said: "Your Majesty, didn't those alchemists say that you can only take one at a time, and two pills a day? "
The First Emperor smiled, "It's okay, if you increase the dose, you can become a fairy sooner. Even if it is poisonous, you won't be afraid. Isn't Jiang Hao able to detoxify me? When the time comes, I will get another detoxification talisman."
Zhao Gao thought about it, and what Emperor Shi Huang said was right.
"By the way, don't tell Jiang Hao that I continue to take the elixir, lest he think that I don't trust his immortality." Qin Shihuang said.
"I understand." Zhao Gao responded immediately.
When the strength of the medicine came up, Emperor Shi Huang only felt his body was comfortable, floating like a fairy, slowly leaning on the soft bed and squinting his eyes to enjoy it, he didn't know what those alchemists added to the medicine.
After waiting until evening, Emperor Shi Huang finally waved to Zhao Gao, "You don't need to wait on me, you can go."
Zhao Gaoru was pardoned, and exited the hall respectfully, then walked out of Xianyang Palace all the way, got into the carriage and told the driver: "Quickly, go to the inn to find Jiang Taizhu."
The carriage passed the cobbled road with a clattering sound, and the carriage stopped at the entrance of the inn. Zhao Gao jumped off without the driver's help, and strode into the inn.
At this time, the inn had already lighted the lights, and the innkeeper saw that the person was wearing an official robe, and immediately came over to salute. Zhao Gao looked at the innkeeper and said, "Take someone to Jiang Hao's room."
"Yes, the villain will take the master there." The innkeeper dared not neglect.
Knocking on the door, a woman's voice came from inside. Lu Zhi walked to the door and gently opened the door, and saw a tall, white-faced and beardless old man standing outside, wearing an official uniform. Just a bit of guesswork.
"excuse me, you are?"
Zhao Gao took a closer look at Lu Zhi, this woman is very beautiful, in Jiang Hao's room, it seems that Jiang Taizhu is also a beauty lover, Zhao Gao then smiled and said, "I am Zhao Gao, I am here to see Jiang Taizhu."
"Jiang Taizhu?" Lu Zhi didn't know that Jiang Hao had been promoted.
At this moment, Jiang Hao came out from the inner room and saw Zhao Gao coming over to salute, "I've seen Fu Lingjun."
Zhao Gao smiled all over his face, "Jiang Taizhu is too polite. I am the magistrate of CRRC, and you are Taizhu. Now we are at the same level."
"How dare you, please come in, Mr. Fuling, I still think about going to see you tomorrow." Jiang Hao said.
Zhao Gao sneered twice, "Hehe, am I anxious to wait?"
When they came to the room, the two sat down, and Zhao Gao couldn't wait to ask: "Jiang Taizhu, did you ask Taizu for me?"
Jiang Hao nodded with a smile, "I asked."
"Then, have you ever passed down the immortal law?"
At this moment, Zhao Gao's heart was in his throat, for fear that if Jiang Hao said no, all his hopes would be shattered.
"Yes, it's really what I guessed before. The Taoist ancestor passed down the 'Sunflower Ascension to Immortals', and that exercise seems to be the most suitable for Fu Lingjun to practice." Jiang Hao said.
Zhao Gao was overjoyed and finally let go of his heart.
Jiang Hao said to Lu Zhi, who was waiting beside him, "Phee, prepare your pen, ink and silk cloth."
Lu Pheasant brought it quickly, Jiang Hao spread the silk cloth on the table, looked at it and said, "Oh, it's a bit dark, Pheasant, hold the oil lamp higher."
Zhao Gao immediately said, "I'll do it, I'll do it, I'm the best at this kind of thing, and I'll make sure it's safe and won't spill oil."
Zhao Gao held up the oil lamp, and Jiang Hao wrote the Sunflower Book word by word. Seeing more and more handwriting on the silk cloth, Zhao Gao felt so beautiful.
Finally, a book of sunflowers was completed, and Zhao Gao held it in his palm as if he had found a treasure, his hands were shaking with excitement, "This old man finally has hope, finally hope."
After saying these few words, Zhao Gao put away the silk cloth, looked at Jiang Hao, bowed and made a big salute, and said in his mouth: "Thank you Jiang Taizhu for teaching the Dharma. From now on, Jiang Taizhu, but if you have something to say, Zhao will do his best." And for."
"Also, Jiang Taizhu will be an official in Xianyang in the future, how can he live in this inn? I still have a house in Xianyang City, which is not considered luxurious, but it can also be used for people. Tomorrow I will send someone to deliver the house deed. Jiang Taizhu can stay there temporarily."
"What Zhao promised before, he will not break his promise, and will send it to that house together."
Jiang Hao smiled, "Jiang is really struggling now, so I won't refuse the kindness of the magistrate."
Zhao Gao also laughed, "It's so good, it's so good."
