When this medicine was made, there was a vision in the sky, and a mist swept across the Western Garden in an instant. According to Tao Tianshi said, this medicine can not only prolong life, but also can be solidified and cultivated, increase the prolongation of children and grandchildren, and even served three days can be the night to defend a number of women and the essence of the unbreakable.
Two Dragons Playing with Pearls medicine tripod hole open, take the medicine into the jade plate, nine pills colour like cinnabar, rounded like a quail egg size, exudes a mysterious atmosphere.
Because of the eagerness to serve Dan, Jiajing Emperor did not care what the night is not the night, in accordance with the usual practice, sent a eunuch summoned in the West Garden board room duty Yan Song Yan chief minister, gave Yan Song a pill, will Yan Song touched by the bitter tears.
“The taste is slightly bitter, but the entrance aftertaste is slightly sweet, the heart and lungs are on fire, I feel young for several years, and I seem to have the urge to be young again. I powdered my body and bones is also difficult to repay the grace of real people to give medicine.” An hour later Yan Song reported the feelings after taking the Dan, gratefully.
“But Zhong’s abject sincerity, I am quite pleased.”
Jiajing emperor is very satisfied with yan song’s as, these days yan song has been in the west garden board room overtime to write green words, arrangement of the temple examination to deal with other political affairs. Listening to the small eunuch on duty said Yan Song busy seven or eight days have not taken a bath, think of this, Jiajing Emperor can not help but turn his head to the side serving Huang Jin commanded a sentence, “Huang companion, you go to command the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Edict to create a piece of ‘loyal and diligent and sensitive’ silver mark, choose an auspicious day and hour to give but in the middle to send to the house.”

“The king’s favour is as deep as the sea, the minister’s section is as heavy as a mountain. The old minister should do his best, will be impartial to read the paper of this temple examination with all his heart.” Yan Song once again kowtowed heavily.
Emperor Jiajing nodded his head in satisfaction, then placed his eyes on the elixir in the jade tray, seemingly somewhat impatient to take the elixir. Yan Song was a discerning one. Seeing this action of Emperor Jiajing, how could he not know what Jiajing meant, and very sensibly retreated on his knees.
