Seeing that all the people were shouting the name of Hongyantang, the corners of Yan Ming's mouth showed a satisfied smile. www.biquge.info I don't know when, Liu Che, who understood it, stood beside Yan Ming, looked at the people below who were boiling, and said lightly: "Is this your purpose?" ”

Yan Ming didn't turn his head to look at Liu Che, but looked at the people below, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "This is a gift from the minister to Your Majesty." ”

"Oh!" Liu Che was slightly stunned.

"Hongyantang will always be the cradle of cultivating talents for the Han Empire. The talents who come out of here will not only be able to make gold, but also smelt iron, build roads and bridges, calculate the economy, help the people and the world, and expand the territory. At this moment, it seemed that there was a scroll of blueprints, slowly opening in front of Yan Ming's eyes.

"Are you all doing this for the future of the big man?" Liu Che suddenly felt that Yan Ming was so cute.

"Not all of them, but part of it is to realize their own value." Yan Ming said.

"Self-worth?" Liu Che repeated, and suddenly thought of his own value, he didn't understand what his value had besides the supreme imperial power.

After a while, Liu Che suddenly asked, "Your alchemy is fake, so there will be no immortals, and there will be no immortals?" ”

"How can alchemy be fake? Didn't His Majesty and the Empress Dowager personally refine the gold just now? Yan Ming smiled.

"But as you said, as long as you enter Hongyan Hall, everyone can learn this kind of alchemy." Liu Che said.

Yan Ming looked at the ministers around him, as well as the Empress Dowager Dou and Wang Wan in the back, and whispered: "Let's disperse first, some ministers should explain some things to Your Majesty alone." ”

Looking at the people around him, Liu Che also felt that it was not good for the two of them to stand at the head of the city and talk.

In the main hall of Weiyang Palace.

Empress Dowager Dou did not return to Changle Palace, Wang Wan did not go back, and even many ministers were allowed to stay, they were waiting, waiting for Yan Ming to give them an explanation. After all, I had just witnessed alchemy. was told by Yan Ming that this was just a discipline of Hongyantang.

Many people didn't believe that Hongyantang could still teach immortal spells.

"Little monkey, now that you have entered the court, why don't you explain to the old body how you make gold?" Knowing that alchemy is just a discipline that everyone can learn, although Empress Dowager Dou was disappointed because of the shattering of her dream of seeking immortals, she still asked with curiosity.

Yan Ming arched his hand and said, "The Empress Dowager asked, but she didn't dare to tell the truth." The yellow liquid that Chen showed before is nothing more than a kind of sulfuric acid called sulfuric acid, which is very corrosive. And those green ones, looking at dirty things, I think everyone has seen them, but they have never been observed in detail, so I don't know what they are. ”

"How often have you seen it?" Dou Ying, who had not made a sound, frowned and said.

Yan Ming said with a smile: "This thing, I estimate that it is the most in Wu'anhou's family!" ”

Tian Wei listened to what he said, and his head couldn't help but change color slightly. He had suppressed Yan Ming in the previous dynasty, but now that Li Shaojun was directly defeated by Yan Ming, Tian Wei had some bad premonitions.

"How can there be so much green garbage in my house." Tian Wei said.

"It's not rubbish, it's rust on a copper coin. Commonly known as patina, I also know one of its names - basic copper carbonate. If you let this thing react with sulfuric acid, you can produce a blue copper sulfate solution. Then soak it in iron to replace the copper inside. To put it bluntly, it's just the knowledge of a chemistry class in my Hongyantang. Yan Ming said confidently.

"Really! I remember that my copper coins had this kind of green stuff on them. I thought it was dirty! Tian Wei suddenly realized.

"It seems that the captain is a rich man!" Yan Ming teased.

Tian Wei suddenly woke up to the fact that Yan Ming was saying that he was rich in disguise. Most of this money was bought and sold in exchange for official positions. At this time, being pointed out by Yan Ming, Tian Wei couldn't help but look at Liu Che's face. He was relieved to find that Liu Che's attention was completely on Yan Ming's body and didn't seem to notice him.

"In this way, your alchemy is just what you call a discipline, not an immortal technique?" Liu Che asked.

Yan Ming clenched his fists and said, "In this world, there is no immortal art at all. I only believe in science! ”

"What is science? More powerful than immortals? Empress Dowager Dou asked.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the immortals are just people's imagination, and no one has ever been able to verify the authenticity of what the immortals say. Science, on the other hand, is something that is summed up by a lot of experiments and well-founded logical reasoning. The two are not the same! Yan Ming explained.

"Can science make me immortal?" Liu Che couldn't help but ask when he heard what Yan Ming said.

All the ministers also looked at Yan Ming, wondering about the usefulness of science.

Yan Ming straightened his chest and said, "Science, although it can't make people immortal, can effectively prolong people's lifespan. For example, the average life expectancy of the Han Dynasty is only twenty or thirty years, but if it is scientifically transformed, everyone's lifespan can reach seventy or eighty years old, or even longer. If technology is advanced enough, perhaps immortality is not unpredictable. What's more, science is not as elusive as the gods. Science can be seen and touched. ”

Everyone Chen Mo was thinking about the word 'science'.

"You keep talking about science, why did I feel a wave of power integrated into my body when I was alchemy?" Liu Che suddenly asked.

Yan Ming couldn't help but smile and asked, "Your Majesty, why do you feel a lot of power?" ”

"When the imperial grandmother was refining gold, you said that you should be able to feel the power integrated into the body. And the imperial grandmother also said that she felt a lot of power. When I arrived, I naturally felt this power. Liu Che said.

Yan Ming said with a smile: "Since the emperor asked, today the minister will be brave and give His Majesty another interesting experiment." However, the minister explained in advance that there were no ghosts and gods in this experiment, but only a kind of science, called psychology. ”

"Psychology? What do you mean. Liu Che heard too many new words, a little silly.

"Everyone has a different psychological cue. For example, the Empress Dowager's feeling of strength when she was refining gold, as well as the various feelings of His Majesty, were all deliberately hinted at to you. Yan Ming smiled and shouted outward: "Chen Jia, bring a subordinate of Li Shaojun." ”

With Yan Ming's greeting, Chen Jia immediately pressed up a Hu man, who was one of the people who followed Li Shaojun.

Yan Ming turned around and said in Liu Che's ear: "Your Majesty, is there ice in the palace?" ”

"Of course, although the weather is hot, there are still ice cubes in the palace to relieve the heat!" Liu Che said proudly.

"Okay, I'll lend it to the minister for use in a while." Yan Ming said. After getting Liu Che's approval, Yan Ming said to Chen Jia: "This thief is extremely evil, today I will burn a scar on his face with tongs, so that he will never be able to erase it." Chen Jia, blindfolded him, and brought a pot of fire with tongs. ”

"No!" Chen Jia agreed, but in a few moments, he was ready according to Yan Ming's instructions.

Yan Ming took the red-hot tongs burning in the brazier, and laughed: "The tongs are red, it's best to be hot at the moment." ”

"Master Hou spares his life!" The Hu people struggled, but they were completely controlled by Chen Jia, and they had no strength to resist at all.

Yan Ming motioned for Liu Che to bring ice cubes. Liu Che nodded in agreement, and an inner attendant brought ice cubes, which were grabbed by Yan Ming and held in his hands.

I saw him holding a red-hot tongs and circling in front of Hu Ren's face a few times, constantly threatening to burn Hu Ren's face. At the moment when Hu Ren was having a nervous breakdown and begging for mercy frantically, Yan Ming put down the tongs, but lightly imprinted the ice cube in his hand on Hu Ren's face.

I only heard Hu Ren's heart-rending cry, and as Yan Ming's ice cubes left Hu Ren's cheeks. Everyone was shocked to find that Hu Ren's face actually had marks similar to burns.
