Beijing, Xiyuan.

The blue sky and white clouds, the sky is clear and clear, the blue waves on the Taiye Pond are rippling, a line of white cranes hovering and soaring in the air, and the royal palace with red walls and golden tiles shines in the sun. Such a beautiful scenery, like a fairyland on earth.

However, although the sunshine is good, the atmosphere in the West Garden is like a dark cloud, cold and oppressive.

Whether it is a eunuch or a palace maid, it is as if they have practiced the world's best light skills, walking and doing things without making any sound, one by one, trembling, walking on thin ice, even eager to hold their breath.

Without him, Emperor Jiajing was in a very bad mood today.

The "weather" of Xiyuan is not dominated by the heavens, but by Emperor Jiajing. If Emperor Jiajing is in a good mood, Xiyuan is a clear sky; If Emperor Jiajing sneezes, Xiyuan will change the sky; If Emperor Jiajing is in a bad mood, then Xiyuan will be covered with dark clouds, and even turn into a violent storm.

Today, Emperor Jiajing is in a very bad mood, so the weather in Xiyuan is full of dark clouds, and the palace maids and eunuchs are walking on thin ice.

In fact, in recent times, Emperor Jiajing has not been in a very good mood.

The day before yesterday, the northern thief chieftain Da Da led his troops to attack Datong. Why do you use the word "again", because this is the fourth time this year that I have invaded Datong. This time, I led more than 3,000 cavalry to invade Datong, and plundered the forts of Dayong and Weilu. The cavalry battalion commanded Wang Gong and led his soldiers to resist the troops at Pingchuan Dun, but he was unable to catch it, and Wang Gong and his subordinates were all killed on the spot. General Zhang Teng stationed troops to help Mabao, which was very close to the battlefield Pingchuan Dun, but he was afraid to close the base. He then led the cavalry from Gaoshan City and the brick kiln to the south, and wantonly plundered Shijing Village and other places in Huairen County.

If you want to grab it, you can grab it, and I robbed it four times in half a year, and I replied that this is to treat the Daming border as his own backyard!

You said that the master Emperor Jiajing is not bad!

And that's not all!

In the past few days, the prefectures of Beizhili, Baoding, Hejian, Shunde, and Guangping have been flooded, and the fields have been flooded.

In the flood in the north, the south is not idle, Jiangxi Nanchang, Linjiang, Ji'an, Ruizhou, Yuanzhou, Fuzhou, Ganzhou, Nan'an Zhufu is causing a drought, a year down, almost no rain, the fields are dry and smoking, not to mention that the crops are not harvested, that is, the trees are about to die of drought. The disaster report sent by Nanchang and other places in Jiangxi Province was only one hour later than the disaster report in Beizhili.

Floods in the north, drought in the south! What are you doing with so much rain in Beizhili, how good it is for you to go to Jiangxi!

You say it's not angry!

Can Emperor Jiajing be in a good mood?!

However, the above are all foreshadowing, and they are not the reason why Emperor Jiajing is in a very bad mood today.

The reason why Emperor Jiajing was in a bad mood today was that he had been refining a furnace of elixir since the beginning of the month, and today was the day to open the furnace to take the pill, but in the morning, a burst of peculiar smell began to come from the Dan furnace.

The elixir is ready, and it should be fragrant! The smell coming from the Dan furnace is not a good sign!

Emperor Jiajing had high hopes for this furnace of elixir, because the pill of this furnace of elixir was the "Eight Gong Dan Fang".

What is the "Eight Gong Dan Fang"?

Have you ever heard of a person who attained the Tao and a chicken dog ascended to heaven?! Liu An, the former king of Huainan in the Han Dynasty, had two ambitions, one was to cultivate into an immortal with the art of immortal yellow and white, and the other was to rebel and become an emperor with different aspirations. For this reason, he recruited a wide range of guests, always preparing to rebel, and always cultivating immortals and refining pills. Among the disciples he recruited, Su Fei, Li Shang, Zuo Wu, Tian You, Lei Bei, Wu Bei, Mao Zhou, and Jin Chang were the most talented. The eight dukes gathered together to make alchemy, and finally practiced the elixir, on the day when the elixir was released, Liu An, the king of Huainan, conspired against the incident, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zong Zheng to arrest him. Because of the haste of the incident, Liu An was in a hurry to eat the elixir at that time, and many of the elixirs fell to the ground and were eaten by the chickens and dogs at home, and these chickens and dogs who ate the elixir also flew to the sky with Liu An. This is the allusion of "one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven".

Emperor Jiajing's recipe for refining this furnace elixir was the recipe for refining the elixir at that time of the Eight Princes - that is, the "Eight Princes Dan Recipe".

This is a real fairy formula! Any alchemy material used in this recipe is a treasure worth ten thousand gold.

Therefore, Emperor Jiajing had very high hopes for this furnace elixir, but the smell coming out of the Dan furnace this morning was like a basin of ice water, and Emperor Jiajing, who was looking forward to it, was poured into his heart.

Therefore, this morning's "weather" in Xiyuan is cloudy.

Therefore, the palace maids and eunuchs in Xiyuan are all trembling and walking on thin ice, for fear of getting into trouble.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

Suddenly, there was a sound of several cases overturning and tea cups breaking in the palace of Yongshou Palace, and the hearts of the two little eunuchs on duty at the gate of the palace were about to jump out of their throats, and they looked at each other with pale faces.

They all knew in their hearts what was going on in the hall, this would be the time for Emperor Jiajing's elixir to open the furnace and take the pill, and the sound of the table smashing the lamp came from the palace, which meant that the elixir refining had failed!

In fact, when the smell of the Dan furnace came out in the morning, everyone knew in their hearts that this furnace of the elixir had failed.

However, because it is not the time to open the furnace in the morning, everyone still has a little hope in their hearts. This is the Eight Gong Dan Fang, how can those Dan Fang in the past be compared with the Eight Gong Dan Fang, the previous alchemy experience may not be applicable to the Eight Gong Dan Fang, maybe there is a peculiar smell when refining the elixir with the Eight Gong Dan Fang.

Now, the other boot has finally landed, and the elixir has indeed failed to be refined, and Emperor Jiajing's hopes have been completely shattered......

At this moment, a little eunuch walked towards the Yongshou Palace from the Wuyi Hall outside with a copy of the fold.

"What's going on?"

The two little eunuchs in front of the gate of Yongshou Palace asked with a frightened face like frightened birds.

Don't be bad news!

The two little eunuchs prayed silently in their hearts.

However, the more he was worried about something, the more he came, and the little eunuch who was holding the fold replied in a low voice, "This is the war report of the Taizhou Japanese war, an urgent report of eight hundred miles, and there is no delay, and I ask the two of you to pass it on to the ......."

Woes?!

Taizhou is in trouble?!

Isn't this costing us our lives?!

The two little eunuchs guarding the door looked at each other bloodlessly, and at the same time opened their mouths to utter a silent word.

"You go ......"

"You go ......"

The two little eunuchs said in unison.

At this time, none of them wanted to enter the palace to spread the word, they all knew in their hearts that Emperor Jiajing's alchemy failure was angry, and at this time, when they went in and passed the message, didn't they just hit Emperor Jiajing's angry head?! Moreover, not to mention the anger of Emperor Jiajing, it is still such a bad thing as a wage!

Add fuel to the fire! The risk factor has increased exponentially!

If you go in at this time, it will be almost a cold wind, and the strong man will never return......
