Chapter 147 The Golden Carp Counts the Tail Play and Three Idiots (II)
Zhang Xuan was not in a hurry, so he stood on the side and watched with a smile.
Wan Chun leaned over and teased the fish for a while, then he got up and looked straight, pouted and said, "Okay, let's get down to business." General Zhang, you asked me to come all the way out of the palace and come to you, the general's mansion, not just to see the fish in this pot, right? β
"Of course not." Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, and immediately turned his head to look at the sanctimonious three-idiot Taoist who was standing not far away, and said coldly, "Three-idiot Taoist, this official will let you have nothing to say today!" β
Although the three idiot Daoists were afraid of Zhang Xuan's powerful position, they believed that they were the royal alchemists of the palace, and they also had a little reliance in their hearts, so they also said in a deep voice, "The general humiliates the poor Dao and does not matter, but if he wants to slander the alchemy magic, it is a great disrespect to the Dao Ancestor!" β
Zhang Xuan smiled, "You are three idiots and thieves, you don't have to buckle the big hat for this official first." β
"I'm here to ask you, what if the official exposes your deception?"
"The poor road is at the disposal of the general."
Zhang Xuan smiled lightly and said coldly, "Okay, this official will convince you in a while." If the official does not dispose of you, he will punish you as a house slave in the official mansion! β
"Your Highness, you can be a witness to Zhang Xuan."
Wan Chun waved his hand impatiently and said, "Hurry up, I'm going back to the palace to talk to Niangniang about the song." If you really have credentials, these three idiots will be at your disposal. β
Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, "Your Highness, did you bring the so-called Taiqing Divine Pill?" β
Wan Chun's white and smooth wrist flipped, and a jade bottle appeared in the palm of his crystal jade, "Oh, take it!" β
Zhang Xuan took the jade bottle, poured out a few round but obviously emitted sulfur pills from it, tossed it in his hand, looked at the three idiot Daoists and sneered, "Three idiot Daoists, you, the elixir of longevity, have eaten longevity and feathered up to immortals, I don't know if if you give it to the fish in this pot, will there be a scene of fish jumping over the dragon gate?" β
The three idiot Dao people were taken aback, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "This elixir is not easy to come by, but it is the result of the exhaustion of the poor Dao, how can it be cheaper for this beast?" β
"Really?" Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, "Tension, take the cup." β
Zhang Li, who was already waiting on the side, hurriedly took a cup, Zhang Xuan poured a few pills in his hand into the cup, and ordered Zhang Zhang to melt it with hot water.
Zhang Xuan slowly poured the pill water in the cup into the fish basin, turned his head and smiled at Wan Chun, "Your Highness, if it is an elixir, if this fish is taken, it will naturally have a little aura, right?" β
Wan Chunhu looked at Zhang Xuan suspiciously, and said softly, "General Zhang, what are you going to do?" Feeding the fish the elixir, this ......"
"Please also ask Your Highness to stay for a while - come, serve tea, and set up a banquet."
Zhang Xuan waved his hand and commanded Ruyan Ruyu to command the maid to serve tea, fruits, refreshments, wine and food.
Long.
Ruyan, who had been waiting on the edge of the fish basin to observe carefully, suddenly raised his head and exclaimed to Zhang Xuan, "Childe, this fish has turned over its belly, and it seems that it is about to die." β
Wan Chun was taken aback, and immediately got up and went over to check.
Zhang Xuan smiled secretly in his heart, and said in his heart that it would be strange if he didn't die. This pill is obviously a chemical product, containing a small amount of arsenic poison, people will definitely not see anything after taking it for a short time, but fish are extremely sensitive to poison. This is also the crucian carp, if it is a goldfish or a tropical fish in a previous life, I am afraid that it will be finished on the spot.
Besides, Zhang Xuan ordered Zhang Li to put a little arsenic powder in the cup in advance, and it was strange that such a cup of strong arsenic water was poured into it, and these fish did not die.
More than a dozen golden carp turned over, most of them were dead, floating on the water, and only a few were still spitting blisters from their mouths, and they were also breathing.
Wan Chun frowned and suddenly looked up at Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan smiled, "Your Highness, please forgive the minister." This so-called pill is nothing more than a mineral extraction that contains toxins. If you take it, it will definitely not react in the short term, but over time, under long-term use, toxins will accumulate in the human body and eventually become a major problem. β
"This fish is different and responds sensitively to toxins. If the pill is melted into the basin, the fish will be poisoned and die. The reason is as simple as that, please Your Highness to learn clearly. β
Zhang Xuan arched his hand.
Princess Wanchun is also a wise woman, she groaned, and felt that Zhang Xuan was very reasonable. And the facts are in front of you, if this pill is non-poisonous, how can the originally good fish be poisoned and die?
All this was done by Zhang Xuan in front of her, and she saw it with her own eyes, it was real.
Even though alchemy ...... But presumably, the Taiqing Divine Pill refined by these three idiot Daoists is not a good thing. Fortunately, he was stopped by Zhang Xuan and didn't let his father take it, otherwise-
Wan Chun secretly said that he was lucky, and glared at the three idiots fiercely.
The three idiots were already dumbfounded. He couldn't figure out why this was the case, the pill he refined definitely didn't have the so-called miraculous curative effect, but it wasn't just poison-
Zhang Xuan suddenly scolded angrily, "Those three idiots and thieves, what else do you have to say now?!" β
The three idiots were so frightened that they fell to their knees with a puff, and fell to the ground and begged for mercy again and again.
A smile on the corner of Zhang Xuan's mouth flashed, "Zhang Li, drag this guy down, strip off his robe, and stay in the mansion as a slave!" β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Zhang Xuan sent Wanchun out of the house.
Before he was about to get into the car, Wan Chun suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Xuan, his clear eyes flashed with suspicion, "Zhang Xuan, why do I feel that I have fallen for you?" β
Zhang Xuan was stunned and smiled, "The minister doesn't dare to deceive His Highness." The law of life, old age, sickness and death, this immortal art is originally illusory, if there are immortals in the world, wouldn't it be a mess? And taking a step back, even if the Immortal Dao is based on the Immortal Dao, and people are born as immortals, I am afraid that they must also cultivate with a pure heart to reach it, and with just one pill of pills, they can become immortals, isn't it absurd? β
"If it was so easy for immortals to do, I'm afraid the immortal world would have been overcrowded long ago."
Wan Chun chuckled, "You have some truth in what you say, I'll just believe you this time." β
"By the way, the Shangyuan Festival is coming, I want to compose music and choreography with Niangniang, can you help us write a song order?" Wan Chun's delicate little nose twitched, and his eyes flashed with a cunning light, "It's better to punish you, don't think that this palace doesn't know what you're doing......"
Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, Wan Chun had already gotten into the car, lowered the curtain, and the carriage and horse drove away, leaving only her crisp laughter in the air.
Zhang Xuan stared at Wanchun's car and drove away, and the smile on his face gradually converged.
He turned around and hurried into the house, heading straight for the back court. When he entered his study, he immediately asked Ruyan and Ruyu to bring the three idiots to him.
The three idiot Daoists were stripped of their Taoist robes by Zhang Zhang and several family members, and changed into the clothes of ordinary domestic slaves of the Great General's Mansion.
The three idiots were numbly brought into the study by Zhang Li, and fell to the ground in a panic, muttering in their mouths, but they didn't know what to say.
Zhang Xuan looked at this person playfully, suddenly laughed, and waved his hand, "You don't have to be nervous, this official will not kill you, nor will he punish you." It's just that you have fallen into my house, and in the future, you can only be an honest subordinate and wait for the dispatch of this official, do you understand what I say? β
The three idiots looked at Zhang Xuan in fear, and kowtowed to the ground in a hoarse voice, "The little one understands, and the little one thanks the general for not killing!" β
"The art of immortals is pure nonsense, and you may not believe it yourself. In this way, be a deacon in my house, and if he succeeds in the future, this official will not treat you badly. Don't do this Taoist priest - what is your common name? Zhang Xuan asked lightly.
"The small common family name is Sun, and the tiger is fateful."
"Sun Hu? This name is indecent, come on, you will enter my house, and you will be called Zhang Sanzhi in the future. β
The corners of the three idiots twitched slightly, but they didn't dare to refute, and snorted, "Thank you for the name!" β
"It is said that your alchemy technique is not useless. As far as this official knows, you can refine gunpowder that burns and ignites fire in the midst of alchemy, right? Zhang Xuan stared at Zhang Sanzhi and said softly.
Zhang Sanzhi was suddenly startled, looked up at Zhang Xuan, and immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, General." Charcoal, sulfur and saltpeter are mixed together to occasionally produce explosions and fires. β
"Take it, this is a gunpowder recipe I got from an ancient book by accident. Of course, there are no rules, and you can change the experiment as you see fit. The official will assign you a courtyard and transfer a few servants, and you will concentrate on developing this gunpowder according to the recipe for the official, and if you can succeed, the official will have a heavy reward. β
Zhang Xuan said and handed a piece of paper in his hand to Zhang Sanzhi, waving his hand, "Go, as soon as you apply it, this official will order people to supply it all." β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Zhang San went in fear.
Zhang Xuan let out a sigh of relief.
The invention of gunpowder is closely related to alchemy. According to the memories of his previous life, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were already records of the use of gunpowder. In this case, Zhang Xuan used this three idiots to develop gunpowder, which is actually still feasible.
After developing a stable formula for gunpowder, you can continue to develop firearms, and if they are used in the army, their effectiveness can be imagined.
Of course, Zhang Xuan doesn't have the ability to let this era of cold weapons directly enter the era of hot weapons, but it is not illusory to test simple firearms, prepare for the future, and appear as a secret weapon.
This idea was also improvised, which was an important reason why he took great pains to set up such a bureau and lead the three idiots into the world.
Zhang Xuan slowly got up and beckoned to Ruyan Ruyu, "Ruyan Ruyu, it's almost the New Year, Gongzi has prepared a red envelope for youβcome, take it!" β
The situation in the DPRK and China gradually stabilized, Zhang Xuan traveled to the first Spring Festival of the Tang Dynasty, and the Spring Festival of Tianbao's 12th year finally came.
China's culture has lasted for a long time, and festivals in each era have different ways of living. As the most prosperous period in ancient times, the Spring Festival of the Tang Dynasty had its own characteristics.
There were holidays on festivals, which was a kind of relaxation for Manchu officials, but the emperor did not enjoy such treatment. From the year to the Yuanzheng, one day and one night is the busiest time for the emperor. Out of the importance of the folk customs of keeping the New Year, every time the year is over, the emperor has to gather with nobles and important ministers to feast and drink to envelop feelings.
It's just that this year, the old emperor lingered on the sickbed and survived, and Li Heng, the prince of the prison state, replaced the identity of the emperor.
