Chapter 4: Damn! My father is Jiajing
Chapter 4: Damn! My father is Jiajing
"What are you looking at, fat man? Untie me now!"
After a period of tossing and turning, Zhu Yuan seemed to have discovered the person in the dream. Except for the old man with a goatee who was not respectful enough to him, everyone in the room was in awe of him.
This made Zhu Yuan wonder what kind of dream he was having.
However, from the scenes in the dream and the attire of the people in the dream, Zhu Yuan could conclude that this must be an ancient dream!
So at this moment Zhu Yuan became bolder. Although he could not be as brave as Leonardo DiCaprio in Inception, Zhu Yuan felt that he could still control those NPCs who were afraid of him.
Unfortunately, after Zhu Yuan threatened Meng Chong, Meng Chong also showed an anxious and embarrassed expression, "Your Majesty, you can't scare me, this is all Doctor Li's idea."
Meng Chong, this clueless guy, has no sense of responsibility at all and directly sold out Li Shizhen who was standing next to him.
However, Li Shizhen did not care about Meng Chong's words. He kept observing Zhu Zaigui's condition carefully, trying to think of a treatment plan.
Zhu Yuan, who was tied to the bed, paused when he heard Meng Chong's answer, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"I am actually a prince?"
Zhu Yuan never expected that this dream was not as tragic as he had imagined. At least this identity was quite honorable.
Zhu Yuan then threatened again, "Since you fat guy know that I'm a prince, why don't you untie me right away!"
Zhu Yuan's nonsense fell into the ears of Meng Chong and Li Shizhen, and they both showed different expressions.
Meng Chong could not hide the nervousness and fear on his face. He was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to listen to the prince or Li Shizhen.
Li Shizhen couldn't help but stroke his beard and frown as he listened to Zhu Zaigui's two sentences. He felt that Prince Yu's amnesia seemed to be different from the symptoms he knew about, but it was difficult for Li Shizhen to judge exactly where it was different. So, Li Shizhen felt that he had to observe further.
Just when Zhu Yuan was threatening Meng Chong, people from the palace arrived.
When Huang Jin entered Prince Yu's mansion, he first confirmed that the situation was normal, then went into the inner room where Zhu Zaigui was and took a look.
When Huang Jin saw Meng Chong and Li Shizhen standing in the inner room, one of them bowing his head and admitting his mistakes, while the other one stroked his beard and thought, Huang Jin couldn't help but become curious. Could it be that Prince Yu was really crazy?
Huang Jin did not dare to delay at all. He immediately went into the inner room and took a careful look at the situation inside.
When Meng Chong saw Huang Jin coming, he quickly bowed to Huang Jin respectfully and said, "Son greets the ancestor."
Although Meng Chong's age is not much different from Huang Jin's, Huang Jin's status and position are much higher than Meng Chong's.
Meng Chong was just a managing eunuch in Prince Yu's mansion, while Huang Jin was not only a close eunuch to Emperor Jiajing, but also the Supervisor of the Imperial Household Department and Governor of the East Factory under the favor of Emperor Jiajing. He was a veritable eunuch in the Jiajing Dynasty!
Huang Jin was also a modest and prudent person. He did not indulge himself because of his power and the emperor's favor. He was a loyal eunuch who was able to restrain himself and "did not dare to act recklessly." Therefore, Huang Jin was also trusted and favored by Emperor Jiajing, and was often called "Huang Ban", which was a treatment that no other eunuch in the Jiajing Dynasty had ever received.
Therefore, Huang Jin is naturally the well-deserved "ancestor" in the entire Ming Dynasty eunuch system. Except for the eunuchs of the same generation in the Silijian, other eunuchs who are younger and lower in status than him all respect him as the "ancestor".
When Li Shizhen saw Huang Jin coming, he did not continue to put on airs, but bowed to Huang Jin naturally.
This shows that the status of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty was also very respected, and they were not looked down upon and despised as in TV dramas and historical novels.
Zhu Yuan tilted his head and looked at the newcomer. Seeing his Taoist attire, he seemed to see hope. He thought that this Taoist was also a key NPC triggered in his dream, and maybe he would be his helper and savior!
Zhu Yuan shouted excitedly, "Master, please save me!"
Huang Jin heard Zhu Yuan's excited shout. He approached Zhu Yuan cautiously and asked in a gentle voice, "Prince, I am Huang Jin. Don't you know me?" Zhu Yuan was stunned for a moment, "Huang Jin?"
Obviously, this name was unfamiliar to Zhu Yuan. In Zhu Yuan's impression, there seemed to be a cute fat man named Huang Jin in a famous TV series. However, the Huang Jin in front of him did not seem to be fat. However, his face was quite kind, not like a bad guy.
Huang Jin looked at Zhu Zaigui's reaction and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that Prince Yu had really lost his soul, otherwise how could he not recognize him?
Huang Jin comforted Zhu Zaigui and said, "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty. The Emperor has ordered Your Majesty to go to Chaotian Temple for treatment. There is an old Taoist priest with profound Taoist practice there. He will protect Your Majesty well."
When Zhu Yuan heard Huang Jin's words again, he suddenly became confused, "Chaotian Temple?"
Why do these words sound more familiar the more I hear them?
Zhu Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Where is this? Who am I?"
Huang Jin felt relieved when he heard that Zhu Zaigui would take the initiative to ask questions.
At least this shows that Prince Yu is not completely crazy and can still speak normally.
Huang Jin replied: "My Lord, this is your palace. You are Prince Yu, the third prince of the Emperor."
"I am Prince Yu? Who is the Emperor?"
Zhu Yuan asked another key question.
Huang Jin also patiently replied: "The Emperor is the supreme ruler of the world. I am the Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty."
After Zhu Yuan heard what Huang Jin said, the expression in his eyes suddenly froze. Oh my god, was it because he watched too many videos of up masters interpreting the Ming Dynasty 1566 that caused his dreams to become disordered?
"Fuck! This dream is quite interesting. My father is actually Jiajing?"
Zhu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
But Huang Jin comforted Zhu Yuan and said, "My Lord, this is not a dream, this is all real. You are the Emperor's child."
Zhu Yuan tilted his head and looked at Huang Jin again, and said with a smile: "Don't be funny, this is just a dream, and you will all be gone when you wake up."
Seeing Zhu Yuan's reaction, Huang Jin couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He turned around and glanced at Meng Chong and Li Shizhen.
Meng Chong cried with an innocent look on his face, saying that he didn't know what was going on.
Li Shizhen kept stroking his beard and looked thoughtful. It was obvious that Zhu Zaigui's situation was beyond his understanding.
Huang Jin looked at Meng Chong, sighed and ordered: "Go and prepare, take Prince Yu to Chaotian Temple, remember not to let anyone see you."
Although Huang Jin was loyal to Jiajing, he was still very cautious about the significance of his identity as a prince and would not easily allow Zhu Zaigui to be grouped together with the Taoists.
After all, Huang Jin was also aware that people in the world were not so optimistic about the emperor's worship of Taoism. If the prince and the Taoist were also grouped together, it might not be a good thing for Prince Yu's future.
Therefore, Zhu Zaigui's visit to Chaotian Temple to "calm the mind and summon the soul" should be kept as low-key as possible and not made known to everyone. He must be low-key and cautious.
