The rise of the poor

Chapter 356 The Secret in the Reward
I live in the mountains and rivers, and tigers are common, but today I face the saint, and I will see the face of the dragon!
Huang Jin who served by Jiajing's side, just after hearing such a sentence, he deeply remembered the young man in the hall who bowed his head and played right!
Huang Jin has been serving Emperor Jiajing since the time when Emperor Jiajing was still the son of Prince Xingxian, and he has served Emperor Jiajing for almost 40 years. It's been gone, but there are only a handful of people like this boy who left a deep impression at first sight.

This son is extraordinary.

While Huang Jin was still looking at Zhu Pingan, Emperor Jiajing and Zhu Pingan had several rounds of conversations, most of which were Jiajing asking and Zhu Pingan answering.Emperor Jiajing's questions were very common. He asked about the scene in Xiashan Village, then asked about Zhu Ping'an's age, and asked about the current affairs policy of the palace examination again.

Zhu Pingan also answered them one by one. His speech was clear, moderately fast, logical, and full of vitality.

"It's nice to be young. I also came to the capital when I was your age." Emperor Jiajing listened to Zhu Ping'an's reply, and said with emotion, and then said, "Although Aiqing is young, she should still have her ambitions." Gao Yuan, learn more, see more and do more in the future."

"I would like to follow His Majesty's instructions."

For Emperor Jiajing's exhortation, Zhu Ping'an was "excited" and saluted again.At this point, the interview should be over, Zhu Pingan thought.

Just when Zhu Pingan thought the interview was over, he unexpectedly had another surprise. After the questioning, Emperor Jiajing waved his hand and asked a little eunuch who was serving him to bring a tray covered with red cloth, and came directly to Zhu Pingan. In front of Ping An, on the tray are gold-carved golden roosters, gold fish, golden pigs, golden cows, golden ducks and other objects.

These golden roosters, golden bulls, etc. are not big, only about one finger, flat, and estimated to weigh about two taels, but the carvings are very fine and lifelike.

"You are outstanding, and I am not stingy with rewards. Aiqing can choose one as a reward." Emperor Jiajing sat on the dragon chair and waved to Zhu Pingan.

Uh

It took me a long time to choose one, and I said why Emperor Jiajing suddenly became generous. Zhu Pingan was slandered, but there was a grateful and honorable expression on his face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward." Zhu Pingan bowed on his knees.

"You don't need to be too polite to love Qing." Emperor Jiajing waved his hand, signaling Zhu Pingan to get up and choose a reward.

After Zhu Pingan knelt down and thanked Jiajing, he got up again, said thank you to the little eunuch who was holding the tray, and then he had to choose a bigger one at random. The moment he stretched out his hand, he suddenly realized that Emperor Jiajing rewarded him , it should not be so simple, this is probably the last interview question.

Golden rooster, goldfish, golden pig, golden cow, golden duck. Emperor Jiajing asked him to choose one at random, but these things are definitely not something that can be chosen casually.

Choose goldfish?Gold carved goldfish, the main body is a carp, lifelike.A carp jumps over the dragon gate, so it is a good omen to choose a carp.Legend has it that there is a majestic dragon gate in the east of the river. Every spring, carp will swim up against the current, and the carp that jumps over the dragon gate will turn into a dragon.It is also generally used to refer to good test scores and being the top of the high school list.

Choosing the golden carp should be the most appropriate.

But when Zhu Ping'an reached out to the goldfish, he saw the little eunuch carrying the tray, and blinked his eyes slightly.

Then, Zhu Ping'an stopped his hand, suddenly realized.not that simple!Sure enough, it's not that simple!
The carp leaps over the dragon gate, and the carp leaps over the dragon gate to transform into a dragon. Dragon, what do you want to transform into a dragon?I don't know that Emperor Jiajing is the only real dragon!Then Zhu Ping'an thought of the curse that was recorded in the history of Emperor Jiajing's heart that made him feel cold-two dragons will not meet each other!

Emperor Jiajing was a wonderful flower in the history of the Ming Dynasty. After he knew about this so-called curse that the two dragons would not meet each other, he carried it out all his life!
Emperor Jiajing fought on the bed for 13 years for 13 years, uh, maybe the battlefield is elsewhere, but in this year Emperor Jiajing finally ushered in his first son, but unfortunately, the eldest son of the emperor He died less than three months after birth.Emperor Jiajing was very sad. At this time, Tao Zhongwen, the most trusted celestial master of Emperor Jiajing, reported the curse of "two dragons will not meet" to Emperor Jiajing.

Your Majesty, you are the only real dragon in the world, you have the fate and luck, and you are the real son of heaven, but your majesty's heirs are also dragon sons.However, if the two dragons do not meet, your majesty is the true son of heaven, the true dragon of destiny and destiny, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and one side cannot tolerate two dragons, your majesty is uniquely blessed, and all princes are not as good as your majesty.When two dragons meet, one must be injured!
After hearing Tao Zhongwen's words, Emperor Jiajing broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.

Three years later, Emperor Jiajing successively had princes such as Zhu Zaihe, Zhu Zaihou, and Zhu Zaizhen. However, Emperor Jiajing always kept in mind the curse of "the two dragons will not meet". , so Emperor Jiajing never saw these three princes, and he didn't dare to make him a prince, lest there be any accidents.

What Emperor Jiajing did was nonsense to outsiders, and the courtiers talked a lot. Emperor Jiajing couldn't stand it, so he dragged Emperor Jiajing to educate him for a long time.Unable to bear the empress dowager's education, Emperor Jiajing had no choice but to meet Zhu Zaihe, the second eldest son of the emperor, chatted with him, and sent him to school. Zhu Zaihe is 14 years old, and this is almost the first time he sees his own father. Excited, however, the world is such a coincidence.

That night, the second son of the emperor, Zhu Zaihe, fell ill, and within a few days, the second son of the emperor also went to see his elder brother.

Emperor Jiajing was almost scared to death, and he didn't dare to cross the curse of "the two dragons will not meet". If you saw him in the palace, or if you had to see him for some important ceremony, you would not say a word.

Now if you choose the golden carp, do you want the carp to leap over the dragon gate and turn into a dragon?

You turn into a dragon, and I, Jiajing, am also a dragon.

Why, I don't know that the two dragons don't meet each other! Do you think I, Jiajing, live too well? !Fan Chong is interested in me!
Not to mention that Zhu Pingan thought too much, Emperor Jiajing, who practiced immortality and made alchemy, took some heavy metal pills all day long, and it was normal to have hallucinations due to heavy metal poisoning, and Emperor Jiajing himself was a mysterious person, cultivating immortals and immortals. People care about more!
It is better to believe that there is, not to believe that it is not!
Thinking of this, Zhu Ping'an moved his hand over the golden carp, passed over it normally, landed on the golden rooster on the side, and took it in his hand.

"Sir, thank you Your Majesty for the reward."

Holding the golden rooster in both hands, Zhu Pingan knelt on the ground to thank Emperor Jiajing.

Oh, it turned out to be a golden rooster.

Huang Jin, who was serving by Emperor Jiajing's side, was amazed. Zhu Pingan's choice greatly exceeded his expectations. Those people who were summoned alone all chose the golden carp.Did this young man do it on purpose, or did he do it unintentionally?If it was an unintentional act, then this young man was very lucky; if it was an intentional act, then this young man is really extraordinary.

"Oh, why did Aiqing choose the golden rooster?" Emperor Jiajing nodded while sitting on the dragon chair, and asked slowly, he was very satisfied with Zhu Ping'an's choice but also very curious.

Of course it was not accidental, and of course I didn't choose randomly, this is also something I have considered carefully, Emperor Jiajing, you practice immortality and alchemy, and believe in Taoism. It just so happens that I read a lot of fairy tale novels in modern times, and I also researched more about Taoism.Taoism has different feelings for all animals and birds in the world, among which the feeling for chickens is the deepest. Didn’t the founder of Taoism, Shengxian, leave a saying that “chicken and dog ascend to heaven”? The feelings are very deep. It is said that a certain Pope was in danger when he was fighting the ghosts. He was rescued by a rooster. When the Pope fought with the ghosts for several days, he was exhausted and dangerous. Fortunately, the rooster sang loudly, and the rooster crowed to call the sunrise. , to assist the Pope in eradicating sneakiness.

In addition, the fish admired by Taoism is the scaleless fish - mullet, not carp.

People who believe in Taoism absolutely do not eat this kind of mullet.In the eyes of ordinary people, mullet is very hateful, because after the female mullet breeds and gives birth to baby mullet, it will eat part of her baby mullet. Tiger poison does not eat offspring. Your mullet gave birth to baby mullet , but ate the small mullet raw, it is extremely hateful and hateful, so ordinary people despise and loathe mullet and can no longer despise and loathe it.

But this is not the case in the eyes of people who believe in Taoism. They admire mullet, and you may wonder why they can still reverse the verdict for mullet?
Yes, that's right, they not only reversed the case, but raised it to a very high level.

In the eyes of people who believe in Taoism, mullet looks like this: the female mullet has been pregnant for several months, exhausted her efforts, and provided every nutrient in her body to the little mullet in her stomach. , she used the last of her body's energy to give birth to the little mullet. After giving birth, the female mullet was as if the spring silk had been exhausted and the wax had turned to ashes. She had exhausted all her efforts and could not see with both eyes. Once the food is gone and the mission is completed, she is waiting for Xisheng to starve to death.What a great mother, what a great maternal love, but what is even greater is filial piety, the filial piety of the little mullet.In order to give birth, the female mullet has exhausted her efforts and exhausted her last energy, so she can only wait to starve to death. However, the little mullet is the most filial. They would rather swim into the mouth of the mother mullet by themselves and use the My immature body is used to feed my mother mullet, and I would rather use my own body than mother mullet starve to death.

What kind of spirit is this, the crow feeds back, the lamb kneels and suckles, what is it in front of this mullet feeder!

Therefore, Taoism raised the mullet to extreme filial piety, the incarnation of filial piety, this state.

So, they appreciate mullet, not carp!

Therefore, Zhu Pingan chose the golden rooster instead of the golden carp.
