Volume Four, Volume 4, Chapter 24, The Book of Refining Urine

Yan Song originally thought that Yang Cong's comeback was disgusting enough, but he never thought that there was something even more disgusting waiting for him.

If he had to say this, he was responsible for it himself. Who asked him to recommend Wu Peng, the Minister of Works, as the Minister of Personnel? As soon as Wu Peng left, the position of Minister of Works was vacant.

He originally thought that even if he didn't say it, the position of Minister of Works would probably fall on his godson Zhao Wenhua, because Zhao Wenhua was the most outstanding among the Ministers of Works. After all, he has been the governor of Zhejiang for so many years.

Unexpectedly, Jiajing did not mention Zhao Wenhua at all. After he promoted Yang Cong to the position of Minister of Rites, Jiajing immediately issued an order, ordering the three-sided governor Qiu Luan to serve as the governor of Xuanda and to preside over the northwest military affairs. At the same time, he promoted the Tongzheng Envoy Secretary Youtong Zheng Gu Kexue to be the Minister of Works.

This is Yan Song's expectation, because there were two leading figures in the northwest, one Zeng Xian and the other Qiu Luan. Zeng Xian was able to do the military affairs of the northwest, so Qiu Luan could do it. If Jiajing seeks stability, it is not impossible to let Qiu Luan come out to the military affairs of the northwest. After all, Qiu Luan's achievements are also there. They have repeatedly "repelled" the Tartars invasions and dealt with the Tartars, which is still "very good".

However, what happened to Gu Kexue being promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Works?

Jiajing did not announce the candidate for the Minister of Works, but suddenly promoted Gu Kexue to Minister of Works. Could it be that Jiajing wanted Gu Kexue to take over as the Minister of Works?

Isn't it ridiculous that Youtongzheng, who is the fourth-rank official, was suddenly promoted to the second-rank official, the Minister of Works?

Even if an ordinary person makes great achievements, he will be able to reach the third level. Gu Kexue has no achievements, and he will be able to directly reach the fourth level. Is it possible?

If it were other emperors, it would be unlikely, but it is very likely to be here in Jiajing, because Jiajing's employment of people would be like crazy!

For example, Zhang Cong, who is a Jinshi in politics and does not even have a position, can he be promoted to the chief minister of the cabinet in a few years and the head of all officials? Can there be anything more ridiculous than this? In promoting and appointing his confidants, what other ridiculous things can't be done by Jiajing?

When Gu Ke learned this person, Yan Song felt disgusted when he saw this, because this guy was not easy to learn, but he just learned to flatter Jiajing and supported Jiajing's practice!

This guy is his specialty, and supporting Jiajing to practice is his "unique secret skill". Even the civil and military officials in the court can't hold this face. He can support Jiajing to practice the illusory way of immortality, but he can see the opportunity from it. He will not let go of his shame and pat it hard. Jiajing was so happy that he looked at him with admiration.

He has put in a lot of effort to "practice" this unique secret skill. For example, Qingci. He is actually not good at writing Qingci, but Jiajing prefers this. What should I do?

It’s very simple. He doesn’t write Qingci well, so naturally someone writes it well. For this reason, he specially recruited dozens of guest guests and did nothing else all day long, just gathered together to discuss and create Qingci!

All three cobblers can beat Zhuge Liang. Dozens of scholars who were originally good at writing Qingci gathered together. It is conceivable how good the Qingci was written. Therefore, Jiajing praised the Qingci he "written" and even thought that his talent for governing the country was quite outstanding.

He finally won Jiajing's favor with this "unique secret skill" and could not allow others to share it. Therefore, he was quite disgusted with Gu Kexue. It can be said that when he saw this guy, he felt disgusted.

However, he still had no choice but to deal with this guy because he also had "unique secret skills", and Jiajing also favored him quite well.

If he attacked this guy for no reason, this guy would definitely go to Jiajing to complain. At that time, it would be hard to say who Jiajing would help.

So, what is the "unique secret technique" that Gu Ke learned?

To be honest, Gu Ke is really disgusting to learn this guy, because his "unique secret technique" sounds good at refining medicine, but not nicely speaking, it is actually refining urine, which means using urine to refining medicine!

By the way, is Jiajing wrong? He knows that he has used urine to refine medicine, but he still takes it!

Of course, there was nothing wrong with Jiajing. It was actually very normal to use urine refining medicine in ancient times.

In ancient times, there was a saying, "A boy cures all diseases through urine"!

Moreover, there are many reasons for this statement.

For example, the "Fifty-Two Disease Prescriptions" in the pre-Qin period records that "boy's urine" is miraculously effective in treating poisonous arrow shooting;

For example, in the Han Dynasty medical saint Zhang Zhongjing also had many medicines based on "boys urine" in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases";

In addition, Sun Simiao, the medicine king of the Tang Dynasty, also recorded in "Qianjin Yifang" that single dose of "boy's urine" can treat bruises and injuries and blood stasis;

In addition, there are also records in the "Bencao Yanyi Buli" of the Song and Yuan dynasties that yin deficiency and excessive fire cannot be cured by using any medicine, only "boy urine" can be used.

In other words, people at that time did not think that urine could not be used for refining medicine. On the contrary, they all believed that "boy urine" had quite a strange effect.

However, using "boy urine" to refine the elixir of immortality is Gu Kexue's first "unique secret technique".

The reason why this guy uses boy's urine to refine medicine is not really a secret technique, nor is it to disgust people. The reason why he uses boy's urine to refine medicine is mainly for the word "strange".

Ordinary people dared not let the emperor drink urine, but he clearly told Jiajing that this medicine was refined using boy urine.

After hearing this, Jiajing would definitely feel a little disgusted, but he was more curious.

After all, the pursuit of immortality is not that simple. Drinking urine is nothing. Even if you eat rice fields, as long as you can live forever, what if you eat it every day?

This guy dares to use urine to refine medicine for me. Is this urine really effective?

When it comes to medical knowledge, Gu Kexue is indeed quite rich. He can memorize medical books such as "Fifty-Two Diseases", "Trade on Febrile Diseases", "Qianjin Yifang", "Tang Materia Medica", "Bencao Yanyi Supplements" and other medical books.

Once he blew the records in these books, Jiajing was naturally deceived. Since previous medical books said that this boy's urine had miraculous effects, this boy's urine must have miraculous effects. What's the point of being disgusting? No matter how disgusting you have to eat it!

It was a magical saying that Jiajing took the elixir offered by Gu Kexue and felt that his whole body was so comfortable.

This is actually the result of many aspects.

First of all, Gu Kexue likes to study medicine. Not to mention that the medicine he refined can last forever, the effect of prolonging life is still slightly more effective.

Then, this boy's urine does have some medicinal value. It is not only effective for refining medicine, but also possible that it is better than ordinary Qingshui.

Finally, the most important thing is psychological suggestion. Jiajing believes that taking this medicine can lead to immortality, and this is the key.

He naturally had to promote such a trusted minister who was devoted to refining medicine for him. He had not found a suitable position before, but now the position of the Minister of Works was vacant, so he became interested.

However, if he upgraded Gu Kexue to four levels for no reason, it would be unreasonable. So he first promoted Gu Kexue to two levels and promoted him to the Minister of Works. A few days later, he issued an order to directly promote Gu Kexue to the Minister of Works!

It's not too much to upgrade to two levels at a time?

To say too much is indeed not too much. He is the emperor, who dares to say that he is too much? However, Gu Kexue is really disgusting.

Yan Song was so angry that he simply ordered someone to compile a limerick for Gu Kexue, which was widely spread.

The poem says:

There is a road to the mountain of books, so you can study hard.

If you have a thousand urine spells, you can change to a Shangshu.
