The others looked at both of them, a little curious, how would this thing develop?

"I've seen someone possessed by a god with my own eyes, and then put his hand into the boiling oil pot, but nothing happened!" When Zhu Cihong said this, he emphasized again with a very serious expression, "It's true, not even the skin is burned a little, if it's not possessed by immortals, how can this be explained?" ”

Hearing his words, Zhang Mingwei, who was still a little worried, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This kind of trick of "getting into the oil pot", many people in later generations know what is going on. Especially those who love to read online texts, they have been decrypted by countless travel novels. As a time-traveling author, of course, it is even clearer.

At this time, seeing the prince's unusually serious face, and then turned his head to look at Emperor Chongzhen and the others, seeing that they were also very concerned, Zhang Mingwei smiled slightly and said: "I can also do this kind of little trick, I can show it to you, but I am not an immortal." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, can you ask someone to prepare the materials, and I will answer the prince's doubts!" ”

In fact, at this time, even Emperor Chongzhen himself was very curious. Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't imagine what Zhu Cihong had described, anyway, he couldn't imagine how this kind of thing could be a trick? Therefore, he is also looking forward to it. So, without saying a word, he immediately ordered Wang Chengen to do so.

It didn't take long for everything to be ready. However, they are still a little strange, why do they have to prepare vinegar when they "go to the oil pot", and what does this mean?

Zhang Mingwei didn't explain, but just told Wang Chengen to pour vinegar into the pot first, and then pour in oil, and then naturally Wang Chengen burned the fire.

Everyone looked curiously, their eyes looked at Zhang Mingwei from time to time, and then at the pot.

After a while, the liquid in the pot began to boil.

These people here, even Wang Chengen, have never been in the kitchen. So, no one noticed anything wrong.

Zhang Mingwei took the initiative to ask them: "In such a short period of time, the oil pot is boiling, do you feel surprised?" ”

As he spoke, he approached the oil pot, and then casually reached into the boiling and bubbling oil pot.

Seeing this scene, Princess Kunxing was so frightened that she closed her eyes and was a little afraid to look at it.

But Emperor Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong stared with their eyes wide open and without blinking.

After Zhang Mingwei stretched out his hand to go in, he looked calm, stirred a few times casually, took it by the way, and washed his hands, and then retracted his hand and stretched out his hand in front of Zhu Cihong and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, take a look?" ”

Zhu Cihong was really dumbfounded and couldn't believe it. rubbed his eyes, then opened them widely, leaned over, and even came to Zhang Mingwei's hand, and he really didn't find anything wrong with Li Mingwei's hand.

He raised his head and glanced at Zhang Mingwei cautiously, then reached out and carefully touched Zhang Mingwei's hand, and finally turned his head and said to Emperor Chongzhen in surprise: "Father, sir's hand, it's really fine!" ”

Zhu Yujiao on the side heard the movement, opened her eyes, her eyelashes flashed, she was very curious, and she wanted to reach out and touch it. However, before he stretched out, he immediately remembered the defense of men and women, so he quickly retracted. But the look of surprise on her face was unmistakable.

Emperor Chongzhen is in his thirties, and he has not lost his temper like his children, and after a little pondering, he immediately confirmed: "Sir, the secret is because of that vinegar?" ”

Zhang Mingwei listened, nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty is wise." The key to this little trick of the oil pot is this vinegar. ”

As he was saying this, he suddenly heard Wang Chengen exclaim: "Your Highness, no! ”

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he turned his head to look, but saw that Zhu Cihong's hand had reached out to the top of the oil pot, obviously wanting to try it himself.

But the identity of the prince is there, even if Zhang Mingwei is fine, it also scares Wang Chengen.

In this regard, Zhang Mingwei just smiled and said: "It should be a little hotter than what I just did, but it's okay, it's just a little hot." ”

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he was even more moved, and he wanted to reach out to the oil pot to try it again. It was as if it was something fun, and it tempted him. However, Emperor Chongzhen was here, and in the end he still looked at his father and emperor, his eyes signaled, obviously wanting to get permission.

Before Emperor Chongzhen could respond, Wang Chengen on the side quickly reached out and inserted it into the oil pot at a very fast speed, and retracted it at a lightning flint speed.

After feeling it, he reached out to the oil pot again, and this time, he did not withdraw his hand immediately, but kept dipping there, and said to Emperor Chongzhen in a surprised tone: "Your Majesty, it's really not hot!" ”

Zhu Cihong on the side couldn't bear it anymore. At this time, when he heard it, he didn't wait for his father's will, he reached in directly, felt it a little, and then began to stir it up and play.

Facts speak louder than words, what immortals possess, are all fake!

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he couldn't help but admire it greatly, and said to Zhang Mingwei in a respectful tone: "Sir's knowledge is really profound, and he has exposed such a deception of pretending to be a ghost at once!" ”

At this point, he suddenly came back to his senses. This means that the death of his fifth son that year was probably not the manifestation of the Empress Dowager Xiaoding at all, but a collusion inside and outside the palace to harm his son.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be extremely angry, this was definitely offending his rebellion.

At this time, Zhu Cihong seemed to have had enough, retracted his hand, but asked Zhang Mingwei very curiously: "Why is the oil pot boiling after adding vinegar first, but it is not hot at all?" ”

Hearing the question, Zhang Mingwei turned his head to look at him and explained with a smile: "This is because the boiling point of vinegar is low, and the vinegar will boil if it is slightly hot. When you see the oil pot boiling, it's not really the oil boiling, but the vinegar boiling. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and added: "This is a branch of scientific and technological knowledge, the knowledge of physics, which is very basic. It also includes some white paper that will suddenly reveal handwriting, grimaces, blood stains, etc., all of which are similar to the truth, and have nothing to do with any gods and ghosts. ”

Although he said it easily, for Zhu Cihong and others, they felt that his knowledge was so profound, and their admiration for him immediately deepened.

After such an episode, Zhang Mingwei turned his head to look at Emperor Chongzhen with a stern face, and suggested to him: "Your Majesty, I think the most important step at the moment is to rectify the inner palace and ensure the safety of Your Majesty, the crown prince and others. Then find those corrupt officials and unscrupulous nobles, so that they can get money and food as quickly as possible. This is a short-term approach! ”

Emperor Chongzhen's expression was very serious, nodded and said: "What Mr. said is extremely true, it is imperative to rectify the palace!" ”

If he doesn't put things in order, even he may not be safe, which he can't accept anyway. Moreover, someone outside the palace murdered his son, it was probably those nobles, which made him no longer have the slightest resistance to Xungui!

However, every emperor did not want collusion between the palace and the outside, but in the end, most of them were colluded. The so-called rectification of the palace is easy to say, but if you really want to do it, it is very difficult.

When Emperor Chongzhen said this, Zhang Mingwei smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is difficult for others. However, your Majesty should not forget that I have come from the Hereafter, and I can know who is loyal to Your Majesty and who is only interested in selfish interests, so that things will be much simpler. ”

The previous documentaries were not too detailed, so Zhang Mingwei had the final say on these things.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at Wang Chengen, then bowed to Zhang Mingwei, and said sincerely: "Please also ask Mr. for advice!" ”

At this time, several people on the side knew the seriousness of the matter, and returned to reality from the "oil pot" trick, and they all listened with a serious face.

Wang Chengen, in particular, raised his heart even more. He knew that the words of the person in front of him could decide the life and death of the people in the palace and change the pattern in the palace.

I heard Zhang Mingwei reply to Emperor Chongzhen: "In the historical records, the most loyal and unabandonable person in the palace is this Wang Chengen. ”

Hearing this, Wang Chengen's heart suddenly burst into joy, and he couldn't wait to pounce on Zhang Mingwei and kiss him well.

"I already know this, is there anything else?" Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Wang Chengen, and then immediately asked again.

"There is also a man named Fang Zhenghua, who died fighting for the Ming Dynasty, and should also be loyal to His Majesty." Zhang Mingwei replied without hesitation, "In addition, it is clearly recorded in the history books that Du Xun, Wang Zhixin and Wang Dehua are thieves, and even persuaded Li Zicheng to ascend the throne and become emperor!" The rest, not very famous, at least none of them are recorded in the history books I checked. ”

Emperor Chongzhen's biggest difficulty was that he didn't know who to trust and who not to trust. Now that there is a clear certainty, the rest of the things naturally don't need Zhang Mingwei to talk about.

After being silent for a while, Emperor Chongzhen asked again: "What Mr. said just now is that the money and food obtained by raiding the family is a short-term emergency, so what should be done in the long term?" And how to solve today's dilemma? In the outer court, who should I use? I only think that there are too many problems, and I ask Mr. to solve my doubts one by one! ”
