Chapter 111: Demon Dao Shui Yuanzi (I)
"Gold is not poisonous, but the lead and mercury used in alchemy are highly toxic, especially lead, this thing can make people chronically poisoned, Your Majesty's brain is sometimes sober and sometimes confused, it is probably because of too much lead eaten!" Li Zhang sighed at this time and said.
Chronic lead poisoning is a non-contagious chronic disease, because of the abuse of some lead-containing products in later generations, resulting in this disease is not uncommon in hospitals, especially for children, this disease is even more harmful, Miao Yuan's current situation is an example, and Miao Yuan's situation is relatively mild, if it is more serious, it will even make children irritable, cognitive and literacy disorders, and it is impossible to correct it at that time.
"This ...... This ......" Zhao Zhen believed that Li Zhang would definitely not lie to himself, but thinking that his father and sister were poisoned because of the gold tableware, which led to his current illness, this made him fall into a panic for a while, and asked again at the moment, "Father and Miao Yuan both used this kind of tableware, will it be dangerous?" ”
"You don't care about these things for now, to put it mildly, Your Majesty has used it for so long, and it's not bad for one or two meals, the two of us are young, it's better to spit out what we just ate quickly, although the impact of one or two meals may not be great, but we can't be careless!" Li Zhang spoke again at this time to persuade.
Zhao Zhen also came to his senses at this time, hesitated for a while, and finally began to follow Li Zhang's example and start to clasp his throat, probably because Li Zhang had almost disgusted him just now, so Zhao Zhen quickly vomited.
In the end, Zhao Zhen really couldn't spit it out, so he leaned on the pillar and said weakly: "What should I do now, since I know that the golden meal is poisonous, I must not let my father use it again, do you want us to go in and persuade my father now?" ”
"Do you think Your Majesty will listen to us now?" Li Zhang said helplessly again, Zhao Heng is now confused like this, he doesn't even have basic judgment, and even if Zhao Heng is a normal person, I'm afraid he won't believe Li Zhang's words as easily as Zhao Zhen, after all, although he knows that lead is poisonous, he can't come up with any effective proof, unless it is to use death row prisoners for human experiments, but this also takes time.
"This ......" Zhao Zhen also showed a hesitant expression when he heard Li Zhang's words, and then shook his head helplessly with a wry smile, and after a while, he still asked again without giving up, "Then what should I do, I didn't know it before, but now I know that the golden meal is poisonous, so I can't let my father use it all the time, right?" ”
"Actually, it's easy to do, we can't control Your Majesty, but there are people in the palace who can take care of it!" Li Zhang winked at Zhao Zhen at this time.
"Big girl! I understand! Zhao Zhen also immediately understood what Li Zhang meant, and shouted excitedly at the moment, there is no second person in the entire palace who can control Zhao Heng except Liu E.
"Let's go back, it's not good for us to stay outside for too long, but don't use that set of utensils again!" Li Zhang finally regained some strength at this time, and patted Zhao Zhen's shoulder at the moment, and the other party also nodded, so the two returned to the hall one after the other.
At this time, Zhao Heng was already drunk and staggered, and when he saw Li Zhang coming in and yelling hard to let him drink with him, Li Zhang also pretended to deal with a few words. Li Yonghe didn't drink much, but he ate a lot, and he almost ate all the dishes on the large table in front of him, and he probably felt that it was a pity not to eat.
Zhao Heng soon got drunk and didn't wake up, and then he was helped down, and the banquet ended, Li Zhang said goodbye to Zhao Zhen, and then left the palace in a carriage with Li Yonghe, as for how Zhao Zhen went to tell Liu E about it, it was none of his business.
After returning home, Li Yonghe just wanted to go back to sleep, but at this time, Li Zhang stopped him and said, "Spit out what you just ate!" ”
"What?" Li Yonghe was also stunned when he heard Li Zhang's words, and he didn't understand what he meant?
"Let's put it this way, although the food that Your Majesty invited us to eat today is all good food, it is not good for the body, so just now the prince and I vomited out what we ate." Li Zhang didn't want Li Yonghe to know too much, so he could only remind him tactfully.
"Will that be dead?" Li Yonghe was stunned for a moment and asked again.
"Dead people don't, but it's certainly not good for the body!" Li Zhang is very sure that chronic lead poisoning is a long-term process, and the lead precipitated from the gold tableware is also very small, and the impact of occasionally eating a meal is not great, but Li Zhang knows that after the lead is absorbed, most of it is precipitated to the bones, and he is now in a period of growth and development, and he can't be careless at all, so he spit it out.
"As long as you don't die, forget it, after all, it's too wasteful to spit out such an expensive thing!" Li Yonghe shook his head at this time and refused, it was the first time in his life that he ate such a luxurious dish, as long as the poison did not kill people, he was reluctant to spit it out again, this is like some old people in later generations, although their children and grandchildren advised them not to eat leftovers, but for fear of waste, they still ate it.
Li Zhang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, he knew that Li Yonghe would say this, and finally he could only say helplessly: "Forget it, I'll ask Xiuxiu to buy you some soy milk tomorrow morning, you drink more, it's good for your body!" ”
Before dawn the next day, when Li Zhang was sleeping in a daze, he was woken up by the old knife, because the carriage that picked him up in the palace came in advance, and he probably guessed the reason, so he got dressed and washed up, got into the carriage and entered the palace.
At this time, it was still early, and the carriage did not go to Zishan Hall, but came to Zhao Zhen's dormitory, Jingfu Palace, but in addition to Zhao Zhen in the hall, Liu E was not unexpectedly here, and when she saw Li Zhang coming in, she immediately waved back and asked: "Da Lang, are you sure that Your Majesty's golden meal is poisonous?" ”
"Gold is not poisonous, but lead is highly poisonous, Your Majesty has had a difficult time with your heirs over the years, it is likely that it is because you have eaten too much lead, and even Your Majesty is becoming more and more confused now, it is likely to be related to lead!" Li Zhang immediately replied.
Lead poisoning is easy to act on the nerves, brain and other parts of the human body, Li Zhang has always thought that Zhao Heng is Alzheimer's, and now it seems that it should be brain damage caused by lead poisoning, and people with lead poisoning are more likely to give birth to deformed children, or children with various congenital diseases, which explains why Zhao Heng's children are born and die one by one, Zhao Zhen and Miaoyuan are really lucky to survive.
Hearing Li Zhang's answer, although Liu E's face was calm at this time, Li Zhang found that her hands hidden in her sleeves were also trembling slightly, and a kind of outright coldness erupted in her eyes.
"Niangniang, is the Taoist priest who offered the gold tableware still there?" Li Zhang suddenly asked again at this time, when he was at the banquet yesterday, he hadn't realized this problem, but when he was about to go to bed after going back, he suddenly had some more terrible conjectures, especially the origin of the Taoist priest, which definitely needs to be investigated.
"Dead!" Liu E suddenly sighed softly at this time, and her hands slowly let go.
"Dead? How did he die? Li Zhang immediately asked again, this Taoist priest dedicated such a set of tableware to Zhao Heng, and now he is dead, it can be said that he is not guilty, even if Liu E wants to check it, I am afraid he will not be able to find it.
"That Taoist priest's name is Shui Yuanzi, is a famous alchemy master in Shandong, when His Majesty went to Mount Tai to seal Zen, he happened to meet this Shui Yuanzi to save a person who had been dead for a long time with pills, and this Shui Yuanzi has a strange art, His Majesty is also very fond of him, and brought him back to Tokyo, allowing him to enter and leave the palace from time to time, and then he was refining two sets of gold tableware to give to His Majesty......"
"Your Majesty's diet is so important, no matter how much you trust this Taoist priest, I'm afraid you won't easily use the tableware offered by outsiders, right?" Before Liu E finished speaking, Li Zhang once again raised the question in his heart, he didn't believe that there was any elixir in this world to bring the dead back to life, and it just happened to let Zhao Heng run into it, this was obviously a game set up by Shui Yuanzi, in order to attract Zhao Heng's attention.
"That's because you haven't seen this Shui Yuanzi, didn't I just say that he has a strange art, originally I didn't believe in any ghosts and gods, but this Shui Yuanzi is known as a hundred years of cultivation, and this has become a divine art, not only the divine power is amazing, but also can see things at night, especially the water nature is also extremely amazing, you can stay underwater for half an hour without water ventilation."
Liu E paused when he said this, and then said: "When the Bianhe River flows through the east of the city, there is a deep pool in the river, and there is a fish at the bottom of the pond that is extremely delicious, because the pool is too deep, the fisherman can only use a special cage to put bait, and then sink under the water to lure this fish into the cage, every time he can only try his luck, but this Shui Yuanzi can dive into the bottom of the water in one breath, catch this fish and dedicate it to His Majesty, for which His Majesty also regards him as a god." ”
"Amazing powers? Night sights? Li Zhang showed a shocked expression when he heard this, this TM is not the ability of a wild dog, could it be that this Shui Yuanzi has anything to do with a wild dog?
"And what about later? If this person is so powerful, how could he die? Li Zhang immediately came to his senses and asked again.
"Not long after Shui Yuanzi presented the golden tableware, a crocodile disaster suddenly broke out in the Bianhe River......"
"This is impossible, crocodiles generally live in southern waters, how can they suddenly appear in the Bianhe River?" Li Zhang heard Liu E's words but interrupted again, the crocodile has been recorded in the Han Dynasty, commonly known as the pig dragon, mainly refers to the Yangtze crocodile living in the Yangtze River basin, but the Yellow River basin has rarely heard of crocodiles.
"Do you still want to hear it?" Liu E was quite dissatisfied with Li Zhang's words that interrupted him three times and twice, and couldn't help glaring at him at the moment, this is Li Zhang, if he were another person, I am afraid he would not have such a good treatment.
