Mountain God Camouflage Raiders

Pang Sanlang struggled to wake up. He dreamed again. He dreamed of the time when he was hugged and loved by His Majesty and his aunt when he was young. Later, he dreamed of the bloody and terrifying training of entering the Dark Guard Camp at the age of 12. He dreamed of his Killed his master with his own hands, and dreamed of countless bloody nights. Unlike before, he was not immersed in the endless killing. Someone hugged him from behind. He turned around, deeply intoxicated. Kiss, he couldn't tell whether he was dreaming of Jun Sheng or himself in his youth.

Pang Sanlang sighed, got up and lit the candle, and took out a wooden box from the hidden compartment. When he opened it, it was full of small notes two fingers wide. It was the men he sent out to find out the news that his cousin fell into the water at the age of seven and disappeared for ten years. At the age of 17, he suddenly appeared in Wujiazhuang in Qizhou Prefecture, claiming to have lost his memory after falling from the mountain.

After he lived in Wujiazhuang, he never left again. He lived with Chen Tian who brought him home. He was called a cousin to the outside world, but they lived in the same room and shared the same couch. The Chen family has a lot of help.Pang Sanlang looked at all kinds of bits and pieces of news from his subordinates. Although they were rumors, Jun Sheng's kindness to Chen Tian could be seen in those little things.

Pang Sanlang was so jealous that he was his cousin, but he had been taken over by this country pariah for so many years. Thinking of the scene of him kissing Jun Sheng in the water, Pang Sanlang clenched his fists even more. Love and trust should belong to him, obviously he is his cousin, if he returned to the capital without losing his memory and treated him like this, how could he become what he is now!

Pang Sanlang, with a distorted mentality, finally struggled out of his self-loathing, but vented all his resentment on Chen Tian. He was the one who robbed his cousin, his only salvation, and even in order to restrain Jun Sheng. He is so lowly that he will snatch all his love even if he does not hesitate to lie down. If his cousin had returned back then, he would not have been forced to usurp everything that should belong to his cousin. If he had returned back then, he would have given himself this With such warm love, I will not fall into this boundless darkness.

Pang Sanlang looked at it over and over like crazy and masochistic, substituting himself into the little things one after another, imagining that Jun Sheng had treated him like this when he was helpless, the more he watched, the more he wished He replaced Chen Tian, ​​but His Majesty couldn't recognize him because of his safety, and he couldn't reveal his identity to ask Jun Sheng to abandon Chen Tian and favor him instead.

Pang Sanlang burst into tears in pain. During the countless nights of helplessness and fear that he dared not fall asleep, if Jun Sheng shared the same room and bed with him like he did with Chen Tian, ​​and even hugged him gently into the In my arms, how could my heart be torn apart and full of scars, even if it was only once, it was all taken away, all...

In the hand of Pang Sanlang hanging down helplessly, the note reads impressively: The inside story of Wu Village is using the medicine as follows. Tian went to the city to meet Jun and took him back to the village. I remember that there is a brother like Tian in the family, so instead of returning, he is registered as the registered permanent residence, and he is called the son of Tian's mother's lost sister.

-

Although Jun Sheng came back after being raised in the palace for more than ten days, he returned to normal within a few days after arriving home. This imperial doctor has a problem with seeing a doctor, as long as he can stretch out his arm for them to diagnose the pulse, his life will be worse than that of the whole family. Jingui, so when prescribing a prescription, they will consider it carefully, not seeking merit but seeking no fault, generation after generation of masters and apprentices, although the ability to see a doctor has not regressed, but their courage is getting smaller and smaller.

What Jun Sheng had in his heart was the powerful medicine for tigers and wolves. The imperial physician prescribes it with his hands tied up for recuperation. He is afraid that something will happen to him if the medicine's properties are overwhelmed. Pang Sanlang didn't even get out of bed, and slept all day long. When he left the palace, Pang Sanlang was afraid that he would be seen by the queen's people, so he quietly carried him out of the palace while he was falling asleep after drinking the medicine. The appearance almost scared Chen Tian out of his mind.

Although his body recovered, Jun Sheng still couldn't let go of the trauma he suffered in his mind. This group of bastards who don't take human life seriously should stop playing with them, so Jun Sheng thanked guests behind closed doors under the pretext of recuperating at home. , except for the two adults Pei Lu, no one else was seen or talked about, and they didn't even leave the door.

The two adults were also frightened, for fear that he would go out to mess around again, and they added several times to his homework, trying to tie him to the study room so he couldn't move his legs. Young people, who doesn't like to join in the fun, must not He was spoiled by that bastard Pang San, he added homework, and if he couldn't finish it, he would be severely punished. Let's see if he still has time to go out and play!

Jun Sheng, who didn't like to go out in the winter, thought of the kindness of the two adults, and accepted it willingly. He studied hard every day, so it was almost the Chinese New Year, and the two elders were relieved, and they all came to invite him. Celebrate the New Year together at home.It would be fine if there was only one person, but both of them invited at the same time, Jun Sheng had no choice but to go to neither house, and spent a year with Chen Tian in his own house.

Pang Sanlang hid on the beam of the house, watching Jun Sheng's busy figure, watching Jun Sheng cooking for Chen Tian himself, seeing Jun Sheng fried the meatballs and blowing them cold, he stuffed them into his back and wrapped them around his waist Chen Tian's mouth was filled with jealousy, and when the two of them lit firecrackers and went back to sleep in the middle of the night, Pang Sanlang jumped off the ground, opened the cupboard and took out the cold croquette. I picked it up with a steamer cloth and put it in my arms and went home.

Pang Sanlang ate a small pot of meatballs for a full first month. He was afraid that it would be broken in the house, so he packed it in a small wine jar and frozen it in the yard. Then squatting in the yard holding the jar, put the frozen hard meatballs into his mouth, until they melted, he was reluctant to chew, closed his eyes and fantasized that it was Jun Sheng who was wrapped around his waist and blown out to cool off I hand-fed it into his mouth.

When Pang Sanlang returned home that day, he habitually took out the small wine jar from the rockery cave in the yard, opened it only to find that there was only the last one of the meatballs left, and it took half an hour before he was willing to swallow it. Could it be that he had been squatting in the yard for too long, and developed a high fever at night. Mrs. Pang heard the boy's report and rushed to his side. The meatballs are gone'.

When Pang Sanlang fell ill, Emperor Hongde knew about it. After the secret guard told him what was going on, he waved his hand weakly to make him retreat, and fell into deep thought. When he reached an agreement with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother gave her niece a white silk, He made the woman's son the crown prince, and managed to save the life of his beloved, but he was also forced to give her a sterilization decoction in desperation.

After losing her son, Empress Pang was lingering on the sick bed. Since seeing Pang Sanlang, her dull eyes have recovered, and her body has slowly recuperated. He also loves Pang Sanlang as the son of himself and his beloved. In order not to kill him by the Queen Mother's party, he deliberately didn't give him an official position, but just pampered him.

Later, in order for him to have the power to protect himself in case of danger, he was sent to the dark guard camp for training. He knew that the child had suffered a lot, so in order to calm his resentment, he asked him to kill the boy who was loyal to him. Emperor Hongde felt that his life had been a failure. The woman he loved lived in pain, his son couldn't protect him, and even his nephew, whom he loved so much, had to be ruthlessly tempered. Now the nephew helped him find He returned to his son, but asked them to meet each other and not recognize each other.

Pang Sanlang fell ill because of a bowl of meatballs, and the emperor became sad because of Pang Sanlang's illness. This bowl of meatballs that indirectly went to Datianting caused trouble, the lethality was terrifying, and even Yu Wei caused a small disturbance at Jun Sheng's house.

By the way, on the second day of the Lunar New Year's Day, before lunch, Chen Tian remembered that he ate meatballs on Jun Sheng's back yesterday, so he asked Mama Xu to warm up the meatballs, but Mama Xu came back soon Said that the meatballs were gone, there was none of them, Chen Tian was furious when he heard that, those meatballs were fried one by one by Jun Sheng, and Jun Sheng didn’t have the habit of treating his servants harshly, and they didn’t lose their meat during the Chinese New Year How dare he steal his meatballs? After ordering to lock the door and call everyone into the yard, Chen Tian lost his temper.

Chen Yong had never been to the kitchen, but he remembered cleaning up the ashes of firecrackers in the yard last night, saw Chen Shao went to the kitchen, Chen Shao knelt there and shivered, thinking that Chen Shao had eaten it secretly, Chen Yong's head became hot, He said that he ate the meatballs by himself, thinking that he took the blame for Chen Shao, but he didn't know that Chen Shao was frightened by Chen Tian's constant scolding during this period of time, and he never ate them secretly.

Chen Tian caught the 'culprit', and asked Chen An to beat him up with a fire stick without being polite at all. Chen Yong was also stubborn, and didn't say a word. If it wasn't for Jun Sheng who was thirsty and yelled several times, no one would give him Delivering water, I came out of the house to see that Chen Yong was about to be beaten, Jun Sheng hurriedly stopped Chen An, pulled the furious Chen Tian back into the house, and scolded him seeing that he was still as irritable as ever , was also very angry, and ignored Chen Tian for several days. It was Chen Tian who confessed to him first before revealing the matter.

A month later, Mrs. Pang came to ask for meatballs. She said that Pang Sanlang had stolen a bowl of meatballs from him. She was so sick, burned, and crying that she wanted to eat them. She, a mother, came to apologize and wanted to ask for more. Chen Yongcai Injustice cleared.How could Jun Sheng make a lady of a country cry and beg him? Thinking that Pang Sanlang was in a coma and crying for meatballs. Although he was tall and tall, he was actually just a spoiled child, so he forgave him with a soft heart. After Pang Sanlang recovered from his illness, he personally came to apologize, and he no longer refused to see him.

Mrs. Pang begged for meatballs to go back, Jun Sheng called Chen Yong over and asked him why he wanted to take the blame for Pang Sanlang, but he couldn't laugh or cry after asking the whole story, this silly boy, thinking that he will be sixteen after this year, Then she called Chen Shao over again and asked her if she would marry Chen Yong. Chen Shao, who had been angered and disliked by Chen Tian, ​​was afraid of being sold and left her parents. There was nothing to say about the marriage, the two of them had a meal together, and the two moved into the same house, and the matter was settled.

Chen Shao married Chen Yong. Seeing that Jun Sheng didn't like the little lady at all, Chen Tian felt relieved and stopped being cold-hearted towards Chen Shao. Shao got better, it was an oolong, and Chen Yong didn't hold grudges against Chen Tian, ​​but he became more loyal than before thanks to his gratitude.

After the new year, more and more students came to Beijing for the exam. By the end of February, almost every inn was full, and the whole capital was filled with the atmosphere that the exam was approaching. The two adults Lu visited more and more frequently, and felt this atmosphere indirectly.

The first exam started on the sixth day of March. Jun Sheng waited outside the exam room early with his prepared exam basket. He took his number plate and waited in line for the inspection. Then he entered the exam room. After all the candidates had entered, The invigilating officials issued a set of test papers and locked the door of a small cubicle, shutting them all up. They would not open the door to collect the papers until the end of the eighth day of junior high school and let them out.

Candidates go back to wash and change their clothes to rest overnight on the eighth day of the eighth day, and go to the second test in the morning of the ninth day, until the application time of the tenth day is over, and then come back to take the third test in the morning of the eleventh day, and the application time ends on the [-]th day, and the test lasts for nine days. There were only two nights in the middle when he was not in the examination room. Jun Sheng was locked in the small cubicle and he was at ease. He did not eat or drink less. When he appeared on the stage at night, not to mention the students who took the exam with him, even the examiner was not as energetic as him.

Since almost all the candidates from all over the country will come to participate in the examination, and there are too many references, the results of the examination will not be released so quickly. The two adults, Pei Lu, who have almost always invigilated and marked the examination papers in the past, because of His Majesty Hongde's careful thinking, this time the imperial examination They didn't appoint the two of them as examiners, and the two of them who were idle and flustered formed a team to test Jun Sheng again. They felt that with Jun Sheng's knowledge, they would definitely be able to pass the test.

Jun Sheng didn't have the nerve to say that he was going to go to the palace to take the soy sauce test, lest his grades be too good and he would be left as an official. Seeing the two old people taking so much trouble in cultivating him, he was moved by his ambition and decided to try his best to take the test. There is a precedent for resignation. At worst, he would resign after a few months. With his own ability, he would not be able to survive for a few months.

The two adults, Pei Lu, took turns to go to Jun Sheng's house every day. After finally getting Jun Sheng's forgiveness, Pang Sanlang, who was able to continue to visit the door, could not go again. Those two adults who saw him go to Jun Sheng, were on guard like a scourge. The next day, he will definitely co-sign a book with him, and he will be robbed of his head, so he won't bother himself, and he won't be able to see him, and he will cause a lot of trouble for nothing.

The list was released on April [-]th, and Jun Sheng was at the top of the list, winning Huiyuan. There were two other people who were on equal footing with him, but unfortunately those two probably lacked energy, and their handwriting was not as neat as his. Cheng took advantage of the neatly rolled noodles, and Huiyuan fell into his hands just like that. The two adults, Pei Lu, both rushed to Junsheng's house when they heard the news. There was a jar of Wuliangye containing [-] liters of [-] degrees Celsius, which was the highest temperature he had seen after searching for a long time.

With Jun Sheng in his mouth, he turned into the space, drank a mouthful of wine and didn't drink a drop, how could the two adults of Pei Lu have such a means, after toasting frequently, the three of them insisted on drinking a jar of wine Not a single drop was left, and the two of them were thrown under the table before they even had time to mention the words of apprentices. Jun Cheng smiled like a cat that stole a fish, and ordered the servants of the two families to carry the old man back At home, he felt that at least before the palace examination, the two of them would not have the strength to settle accounts with him.

On April [-]th, the candidates who were admitted in the general examination were listed in the order of the list at the gate of the palace. As the gate of the palace opened, they lined up for inspection and followed the examiners to the examination room Wenxian Hall. This exam is only for this day , and there was only one test strategy discussion. After entering the hall, all the candidates called their names, greeted the examiner, and separated behind their desks. Then they distributed the test questions and began to answer.

Jun Sheng's legs were numb and he finally finished his answer. After he raised his hand and handed in the paper, he followed the eunuch guarding outside the palace to the palace gate. After the eunuch handed over his waist card for inspection, Jun Sheng left the palace smoothly.After Jun Sheng left, he stopped the eunuch who was about to return to Wenxian Palace to wait for his dispatch. After he found out that the person who had just left the palace was a candidate for the palace examination, he showed a determined smile. Pang Sanlang was protected by the queen and the Duke He said, but he couldn't help it. Even if this little examinee won the first prize, he would be awarded the seventh rank at most, and he could not play with the applause. Prince Xuanyuanhao sneered, and went back to the imperial study.

It took three days for the examination papers of the palace examination to be judged by the examiners, and then the ten best papers were selected and presented to Emperor Hongde. I read it carefully, read it three times before putting it in my hand, full of gratification that my son has grown up so well even if he is living among the people, and when I read the other papers, I feel much better. His son was the best, and he suspected that he was showing favoritism, so he called all the examiners again.

The examiners of the palace test also had their own opinions on the ranking this time. When they were going to take the test, there were two people who were on par with Jun Sheng. Jun Sheng only stood out because of the neatness of the paper. This time everyone rested for a few days Today, the examiners were in a dilemma. Fortunately, the decision of the ranking was in the hands of the emperor, so they commented without any pressure. The emperor was troubled by their argument, thinking that his son was still so young, so he won the number one prize , Maybe he will be missed by the Queen Mother, but he was very unwilling to lose the election, and finally decided to let him be No.3. The name Tanhualang is very nice, and his son is so cute and handsome, Tanhua is just right for him.

With the decision made by Emperor Hongde, he ranked the other two who had the highest voices first and second according to age. After the ranking was decided, the emperor dismissed the examiners who were still arguing, and went with Jun Sheng's paper. The queen's Kunya Palace didn't say much, only said that there are many talented people in the current department, and let the queen also look at the answer sheet of the youngest candidate in the current department and comment on it.

Empress Pang has been familiar with poetry and books since she was a child. She is known as a talented woman. She has a close relationship with Emperor Hongde's childhood sweetheart. The conversation ended after dinner and rest. Empress Pang lay on the emperor's arm and heard the emperor say that the examinee was only 26 years old this year. He was afraid that he would be proud and only gave him a No.3. In fact, he thought he was the number one scholar. See Because the emperor took such painstaking efforts to cherish his talents, he couldn't bear to feel guilty about changing his ranking, so he appeased and relieved the emperor, and the two stopped talking.

The morning court ended on the second day, and the officials did not disperse the court, because today the gold list will be opened, and the candidates who presented ten test papers in front of the emperor have already been waiting in the side hall. Outside the government hall, when the rankings were announced, they entered the main hall with the eunuch's roll call to give thanks. It was the so-called Jinbang High School, the Golden Luan Hall roll call.

Jun Sheng is already 26 years old after the Chinese New Year. It shouldn't be awkward to stand together with other candidates who are in their 40s and [-]s, but who made him look so tender? At first glance, he thought who brought his son Well, Jun Sheng was almost blown away by the other nine people's glances. Just when he could bear it no longer, the morning court finally came to an end, and the eunuch led ten of them to the gate of the main hall.

The first person to enter the hall was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a beautiful beard, who looked like a celebrity in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The second one looked younger than the first one, but his hair was white. Chubby, with a smile on his face, he looked more like a businessman than a scholar. When No.3 Jun Sheng also entered the palace, the other seven people were taken away. Jun Sheng looked back at them disappointed, lonely, resentful and jealous Shi Shiran followed the eunuch in, you were disappointed, I was also disappointed, I thought I could get the first place.

Jun Sheng lowered his head and narrowed his eyes all the way, only looking at his feet. After he stood still, he bowed deeply to the emperor first, and then he stood up when he heard Fang Liping behind him. Then the eunuch came out and read an eloquent comment from the emperor, and he bowed deeply again As soon as he thanked him, the eunuch came over with a tray and put a red cloak on him, and a hat symbolizing Tanhualang on his head.

The emperor felt very sorry to see him keep his head down. Seeing that he was already dressed, he was about to go out with the No. [-] scholar for a horseback riding parade. He asked the three of them to raise their heads to see him first. Jun Sheng was also curious about what the emperor looked like. Hearing this, he immediately raised his head, but the smile on his face froze in an instant, and his eyes widened in surprise. Emperor Hongde was at least [-]% like his grandfather, and [-]% like his father. If his father who died young could live to this age, it might have looked like this. Jun Sheng was in a daze for a moment, and fell to the ground as soon as his eyes darkened, and he couldn't even hear the exclamations around him anymore.

When Emperor Hongde saw Jun Sheng fainted on the ground, he stood up anxiously, and just lifted up one leg, he was called back to his senses by the exclamation of the crowd, this is the main hall, he is the emperor, he can't go down to see his son, Emperor Hongde's hands were hidden in the wide sleeves, his fingertips almost pierced his palms, his lips trembled a few times before he said tremblingly: "Take it to the side hall and send the imperial doctor to have a look."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Hongde flung his sleeves away pretending to be a disappointment, and when he turned to the deserted apse, he gasped for breath and shed tears. His son fell to the ground, let alone help him as a father. He couldn't even take one more look. It was really a painful torment for being an emperor. If he didn't do it, he couldn't even protect his beloved woman. Emperor Hongde supported the pillar and wept bitterly.

Jun Cheng had a long, long dream in a drowsy state. He dreamed of a very gentle woman, but he was only as high as her waist. He hugged her leg, raised his head and called mother, the woman bent over Picking him up, she said to him with the same gentle voice as her appearance: "Dangkang, I'm going to change my name to Concubine Mu, why can't I remember?"

He nodded half-understood, and then said: "Concubine mother, where is father?" The woman sighed and pinched his nose: "I can't call you father anymore, I want to call you emperor father, and if you call me wrong, mother." The concubine doesn't deserve to be Kang." Hearing this, he shouted anxiously: "Mother, Dangkang made a mistake, Dangkang remembers it, and I will call my father emperor in the future, Dangkang remembers it!"

"What do I remember, my son? I heard you yelling non-stop when I first came here. It seems that this year is another bumper year!" Jun Sheng heard a man's voice and looked back. It was his father. But wearing a robe with wide sleeves embroidered with golden dragons, he walked over step by step, hugged him in his arms, and kissed him on the cheek. He hugged his father's neck and giggled non-stop, avoiding his stubble. An itchy prick in the face.

The picture gradually sank into the darkness like fading, Jun Sheng could neither see nor hear anything, he didn't know how long the darkness lasted, he heard the voice of his grandfather: "Master, please save my grandson, my lonely The old man has only him, please help me again, as long as he can wake up, I am willing to trade my life, please!"

"I have persuaded you a long time ago. You can't force this. Your grandson shouldn't have come to this world. You forcefully begged your son to arrest his soul from another world. He was repelled and suppressed here, so he fell into a coma. .”

"Is there any way to wake him up? If you say it, I will definitely do it. Please tell me!"

"Forget it, I shouldn't have told you how to ask for a child at the beginning. This is also my sin. I will seal his memory later. He can only stay in this world if he is tied to you. If you die, he will He will return to his original world, so for his own good, after he wakes up, you should train him according to the ancient system. You must not let him know about this, otherwise he will regain his memory, even if he has more ties with you Trip, you can't keep him."

"Thank you master, thank you master! Master! Master! What's wrong with you? Wake up, master!"

Jun Sheng opened his eyes, tears streaming down his face, no wonder he had no memory of what happened before he was two years old, no wonder he was able to speak well since he was two years old, no wonder his grandfather taught him the six arts of a gentleman since he was a child, he remembered it all, he is When Kang was Xuanyuan Cheng, he was pushed off the boat when he was seven years old. The people in the water pressed him to the bottom of the water and drowned him alive. Then his soul felt a strong suction force, and he woke up after being in a coma for two years. He became Jun Sheng.

Jun Sheng was in pain as if he had returned to the water that drowned him, he was so suffocated that he couldn't breathe, he didn't know who he should be now, Dang Kang had died long ago, and Jun Sheng shouldn't have appeared in the first place Man, Jun Sheng was lying on the bed with blank eyes, no reaction at all except tears, and several imperial doctors circled around him anxiously, not knowing how to diagnose this.

Xinke Tanhualang suffers from soul-loss after fainting in the Golden Luan Palace. The imperial doctor in the palace is helpless. The emperor posted an imperial list to seek medical treatment among the people.This day, a Taoist priest came down from the daily list, wearing a Taoist crown, wearing a Taoist robe, and holding a jade pole in his hand. He took off the imperial list and entered the palace with the eunuch who was guarding the list.

After seeing it, the people onlookers discussed it a lot. Isn’t that the Taoist priest Feng Xuanzi who is the master of Qingfeng Temple in Qingyun Mountain outside the city? Why does he still treat people?Never heard of it!Even the imperial doctors can't see it well, maybe they are bewitched by evil spirits, isn't this Taoist priest who can cure those evil spirits and crooked ways, maybe he can really look good?Makes sense, maybe!Seeing that the imperial list had also been taken away, the crowd gradually dispersed as there was no more excitement to watch.

After Feng Xuanzi entered the palace, he did not go to see Jun Sheng, but directly asked Emperor Hongde to see him. The emperor was also dizzy, so he summoned him without fussing. When he heard that he wanted Tanhualang to wake up, he could only talk in secret. , regardless of everyone's advice, after dismissing everyone, Feng Xuanzi spoke slowly.

"Although Tan Hualang is His Majesty's son, he is not His Majesty's son anymore. The poor Taoist watched the stars at night, and only figured out that he had died back then. His soul went to a place that was much stronger than here to reshape his body, and he had a new life." The identity is no longer a person here. Pindao guessed that the soul of fatherless and motherless can reshape the body out of thin air. It should be an immortal method. Before Tan Hualang returned, he should have traveled in the fairy world, so the new identity will naturally be sealed. Immortal Monarch, that's why the poor are bold, he is no longer His Majesty's son."

"No wonder he changed his surname to Jun and called himself Guangsheng, but he doesn't recognize me and doesn't remember childhood events... But why is he unconscious? Can the Taoist priest have a way to wake him up?"

"Pindao doesn't know either, but I guess that a person who has become an immortal may want to cut off the shackles of the world of mortals. His Majesty is so obsessed with it, I am afraid it will hurt him."

"What should I do? I have already kept his mother from telling the truth, but I already know it, but it is hard to let go. What should I do..." Emperor Hongde couldn't help crying bitterly. It turned out that his son had really been raped back then. They were killed, and now although this soul is still his son, he can no longer recognize each other.

"Pindao thinks that it is better for His Majesty to appoint him as a national teacher and treat him with generous gifts to show that he will cut off the fate of his parents. Maybe Tian Daolunchang will not care about other things."

"Let's do as you said. I'm going to have to bother the Taoist priest to negotiate with the Ministry of Rites for the conferment ceremony. I'm a little tired..." Emperor Hongde lowered his head, tears streaming down his face.

"Resignation, poor." Feng Xuanzi bowed, swung his whisk, retreated outside the hall, turned and left.
