Chapter 23: Lv Fang's Change of Mindset
Outside Xuanpu Palace.
"Is this palace where I will live in the future?" Qingfeng looked up and looked around the palace.
"National Master, this Xuanpu Palace, also known as the Xuan Palace, is where your Majesty makes elixirs and seeks immortality," Huang Jin said with a smile, "Your Majesty really likes this Xuan Palace."
"Now it has been awarded to the Imperial Master, which shows that the Imperial Master is very favored by the Emperor."
"Your Majesty is such a nice person." Qingfeng said frankly.
She has never been one to speak hypocritically, good is good.
Hearing this, Huang Jin also smiled.
"Master, there is no Taoist servant in Xuanpu Palace yet, and we will arrange all the expenses as soon as possible. I still have to go back to serve the master, so I will take my leave first."
"Yes." Qingfeng turned around, bowed to Huang Jin, and said, "Thank you very much, Eunuch Huang."
"As long as the Imperial Master helps Your Majesty in his practice, it will be the best thank you gift to me." After saying that, Huang Jin bowed and took his leave.
After leaving Xuanpu Palace, Huang Jin went to Lu Fang's residence.
"Godfather has fallen asleep?" As he spoke, Huang Jin brushed off the snow on his body, took off his fur robe, and handed it to Feng Bao.
Last time, he beat Zhou Yunyi to death and rushed to report the auspicious sign. Although Jiajing did not blame him, Lu Fang still reprimanded Feng Bao. Not only that, at least for the sake of face, he also demoted Feng Bao.
He was asked to guard the curtain at the door, but Huang Jin and others did not neglect him.
"No, godfather is waiting for you, go in quickly." Feng Bao said, lifting the door curtain for Huang Jin. "I'll get you a new robe." After saying that, he turned and left.
Huang Jin responded and went into the house.
Lu Fang was seen sitting upright on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, with his eyes closed, as if he was meditating.
"Godfather, the job is done," Huang Jin bowed, and seeing that Lu Fang didn't look at him, he continued, "Your Majesty has bestowed upon Taoist Qingfeng the title of Qingfeng Xuanling Shouzhen Huiwu Zhenren, and conferred upon him the title of Imperial Master."
Hearing the word "national teacher", Lu Fang suddenly opened his eyes.
Although I was surprised that His Majesty appointed me as the Imperial Master as soon as they met, I was not too surprised.
Your Majesty will have to take drastic measures next. The national policy of replacing rice with mulberry trees obviously cannot bring any benefits to Yan Song.
The huge deficit could no longer be made up, and Yan Song was already a fish on the chopping board, and could only be slaughtered quietly.
However, since Your Majesty still needs to use him, he must be appeased.
Qingfeng's favor was a reassurance to Yan Song.
"How is Chen Hong's team building for the West Factory going?" Lu Fang raised his chin and motioned Huang Jin to sit down and talk.
"I heard from Xiao Zhuzi that it will be done soon." As Huang Jin spoke, there was a hint of indignation on his face.
"Are you feeling unhappy that I didn't recommend you guys to the master, and instead let Chen Hong become the governor of the Western Factory?" Lu Fang raised his eyes and said to his honest godson.
Among his many godsons, Yang Jinshui is the one who is tight-lipped, capable, loyal, capable, and smart, and is the one that wins his heart the most.
Feng Bao has potential, but he is too young.
He was too radical in his actions. Last time, he beat Zhou Yunyi to death, and then he suppressed other people and rushed to report good omen to his master, which offended many people.
Only Huang Jin, who is honest, tongue-tied, and not very smart, is deeply loved by his master.
It can be said that each of the three godsons has his own advantages.
Naturally, the more he understood them, the more Lu Fang could see clearly what they were thinking.
"I..." Huang Jin opened his mouth, and under Lu Fang's gaze, he finally said indignantly: "I just can't stand the way he is!"
"He's just an admiral. Not only does he ignore us on a daily basis, but you're even disrespectful to your godfather." "Those ignorant people say in private..." Huang Jin lowered his head and said no more.
"What?" Lu Fang's eyes were indifferent. Without waiting for Huang Jin to speak, he continued, "You said I'm not as good as Chen Hong? I'm just lucky, so you know how to flatter and curry favor with others?"
"Godfather, you?" Huang Jin was stunned. He didn't expect that his godfather knew everything.
"Let others gossip about us," Lu Fang tightened the quilt, "We are servants, and we just need to take good care of the master. The power and rewards in the house are decided by the master."
"If a servant forgets his status as a house servant, then disaster is not far away for him."
Lu Fang thought that his master had seen the whole world and had learned all the magical methods of the Ming Dynasty in one night, so he naturally understood more than others.
The Ming Dynasty was destined to be reborn under the hands of its master.
Before, he was thinking about how to get out of this situation safely when he got old, but now he is thinking about how to stay with his master forever.
Immortality and longevity, who doesn’t hope for it?
While others were still fighting for those mundane rights, his vision had already reached a higher level.
The last time he took the elixir, he had never forgotten it!
Well, I want to eat more. Maybe the next time the master gives me medicine, it will be some elixir that can rejuvenate me.
"My son has made note of it." Although he was not convinced, Huang Jin could only endure it silently.
"Those unclean people and things in the East Factory must be cleaned up within three days. If necessary, cut the Gordian knot and eliminate them all at once!" Lu Fang said, with a cold look in his eyes.
"You must know that if you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences!"
Chen Hong is a brainless but energetic mad dog. Both he and His Majesty tacitly agreed to let him go out to bite people.
By then, the East Factory will probably be bitten as well, so take this opportunity to complete a neat cut.
"Yes, son knows!" Huang Jin is the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot. He knows about the many dirty deeds under his command.
Although he was not very smart, he knew that after Chen Hong came to power, he would definitely bite people without any regard for their relatives.
At that time, Chen Hong, as the Grand Commander, already had the power to supervise the Imperial Household Department. If he was also in charge of the Western Factory, wouldn't he have to deal with people?
"Godfather, there is one more thing. Your Majesty today..." Huang Jin told Qingfeng about Jiajing patting his head three times and Qingfeng's guess, then said, "Is this what Your Majesty meant?"
"If it is really as the Imperial Master said, then wouldn't I have misunderstood the Master's intentions?"
"Heh." After hearing Huang Jin's words, Lu Fang was also stunned for a moment, and then shook his head and laughed, "It seems that he is indeed a simple child. Yan Song is good at sending people away."
"This kind of person can be seen through at a glance."
"The most important thing is that this kind of person is safe when placed next to the master, and they share similar interests with the master. It can be said to be a match made in heaven."
As he said this, seeing Huang Jin looking eagerly, he immediately laughed and scolded: "Silly boy, whether the master has a deep meaning, how can I not remind you?"
"Is the Imperial Master overthinking?" Huang Jin was stunned.
"Yan Song would not put someone with deep thoughts around his master, so that girl is a simple person."
"Go ahead, don't worry about it. I'll be on duty tonight, so leave it to me." Lu Fang said, yawning.
"Son, I'm leaving." Upon seeing this, Huang Jin bowed and left.
He went out to take the new fur robe given by Feng Bao, said hello, and then returned to Yuxi Palace in the wind and snow.
The news that His Majesty had appointed a national teacher also spread from the palace.
Of course, along with this news, some of Qingfeng’s ideas when he discussed Taoism with the emperor in Yuxi Palace also leaked out.
For a time, the reactions of the Yan Party and the Qingliu Party were different.
