Chapter 393: Shennong Spirit

Zhao Zhen was a little worried, there was a pile of yellowed ancient scrolls in front of him, which looked full of mystery. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Tian Fang patted his chest and swore to God that lead is absolutely not poisonous.

Although Zhao Zhen disagrees, there are many immortals in the world, let's just say himself, and the folk also say that he is the reincarnation of a barefoot immortal, and Zhao Zhen also readily accepts it......

After all, there are too many things in this world that can't be explained, how to deal with them?

Empress Cao came over with the little prince in her arms and left the depressed palace, the little prince's body was much better, he was very energetic, and he was babbling words that only Empress Cao could understand.

My son learned to speak...... Zhao Zhen seemed to have discovered a new world, hugged his son, and happily turned around several times.

Empress Cao glanced at the Taoist Book and Danjing on the table, and just smiled lightly, "Sage, the concubine heard a sentence that called the paper to be shallow, and she never knew that she had to bow down to it." Since they say lead and mercury are not toxic, let them try! ”

Zhao Zhen put his son on his lap and said without raising his head: "Listening to this is like what Wang Qing said...... The unity of knowledge and action, not bad...... Zi Tong, do you think how to experiment, is to feed them directly with lead and mercury? ”

Empress Cao was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, the mercury is heavy, and if you take it, you will definitely die, and if you do this, you will inevitably be suspected of murder, and the concubine thinks that it is better to invite Wang Qing over to see what he thinks." ”

Since Wang Ningan recommended Qian Yi to save her son, Queen Cao looked at Wang Ningan differently, and always said good things in front of Zhao Zhen when she had nothing to do.

Without much effort, Wang Ning'an and even Uncle Cao Tong came.

"The minister thought that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, from ancient times to the present, the immortal magic has been passed down endlessly, and the emperors of the past dynasties, in order to seek immortality, seek fairy grass, refine the elixir, emerge in endlessly, and go forward one after another. However, for so many years, I have only seen people die from ingesting lead and mercury, and no one has been able to ascend. ”

Wang Ningan said with a smile: "It's better to be like this, the minister said that lead is poisonous, and they said that lead and mercury can become immortals, so let's have a try." The minister arranged an environment full of lead for them, let them practice alchemy in it, the time limit is three months, if they are healthy, or even successful in cultivation, then even if they win, if they get sick and poisoned, the minister also wants to ask His Majesty to take this as a warning and spread the word, from now on, under the Great Song Dynasty, the immortal magic is not allowed to run rampant, no matter who it is, preaching immortality and immortality, all will be severely punished! ”

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen smiled happily: "This method is good, just do what Wang Qing said!" Jing Xiu, you and Wang Qing go to handle it together. ”

"Yes."

Uncle Cao Guo honestly agreed, saying that Cao Tong had come into contact with some Taoist priests, and he always felt that they were immortal and very unusual. He didn't think that Wang Ningan could win this gamble.

But Uncle Cao Guo was still in a mess and wanted to see what Wang Ningan planned to do.

Some craftsmen were found, and 20 prisoners were brought from the prison.

Wang Ning'an stood far away, commanded them, moved the lead pipes in the palace to the Daxiangguo Temple, selected ten houses for retreat, and then buried some of the lead pipes about a foot underground.

Wang Ningan felt that it was not enough, so he ordered the lead pipe to be smashed and muddled all over the wall. There are also lead plates, water tanks, pots and pans, and all the places that can be placed under the futon.

It took two days of hard work for Wang Ningan to create an authentic lead room.

After doing it, he invited Zhao Zhen and the courtiers over.

"Your Majesty, Lord Tian said that lead and mercury are not toxic, and the minister made these rooms for him, as long as he is in it for three months, there is no damage, the minister will admit defeat, how Your Majesty punishes the crime, the minister has no complaints. If Lord Tian is really poisoned, it will be clear to the world that the theory of lead and mercury is not credible. For the safety of our emperor, the capital must be moved! ”

Wang Ningan looked around with a smile, "My lords, Your Majesty's safety is more important than everything, and I proposed the move, which made the court uproar, and I couldn't get over it!" You might as well use this experiment to decide whether to move the capital or not, it's better than empty words! What do you think? ”

As soon as Wang Ning'an spoke, Ouyang Xiu immediately stood up, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Lord Wang's idea is very good, so what should I do!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Di Qing bowed.

"The minister also seconded it!" Bao Zheng also said.

The four important ministers spoke together, which still carried a lot of weight.

Jia Changchao, who has always been known for his shamelessness, can see that he has come to this point, and it will not work if he doesn't experiment, he smiled at Tian Fang, "Lord Tian, if you are convinced of Taoism, you might as well experiment, what do you think?" ”

"I ......" Tian Fang's face was a little unsightly, so he acted as a reason: "It is the duty of a courtier to relieve the king's worries, but the lower officials are carrying the heavy responsibility of the court court, lest they delay the major affairs of the court." ”

"No!"

Zhao Zhen said decisively: "Tian Aiqing, I let Su Xun take care of it first, what about you, concentrate on cultivating here, after three months of success, I will add you to the scholar of the Jixian Palace, and enter the cabinet to pay respects!" ”

What a big deal!

The ministers were a little dumbfounded, and Zhao Zhen said with a straight face: "This matter is about me, and the safety of future generations, isn't it worth a scholar?" ”

Lao Jia could only take everyone and said together: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

This time it's fun, Tian Fang can't run, no matter what, he has to go on a trip.

"Your Majesty, Minister, Minister is worried that someone will frame the minister......"

"Please rest assured." Wang Ningan smiled and said: "This experiment is absolutely fair. When this room was made, all parties were invited to witness that there was only lead in it, and no other poison was there. In the next three months, your food, clothing, and clothing will all be witnessed by all parties to ensure that there is no other poison. Besides, you're not convincing alone. Along with those immortal elders, they were also stationed. By the way, anyone else who believes in lead and mercury theory can all move in. If there are masters who have attained the Tao and cultivated immortals who are willing to dedicate themselves to giving it a try, they are even more welcome. I also set up a control group to find 30 death row inmates from the prison and feed them a little lead powder every day. As for you, you just live here, burn lead to smelt mercury, and take pills...... After three months, I think I can prove at least two things, the first is whether the lead is poisonous, and the second is whether the so-called elixir has a miraculous effect, what does Your Majesty think? ”

"Wonderful!"

Zhao Zhen gave a thumbs up, "Jia Xianggong, Di Xianggong, the experiment starts tomorrow, you select reliable personnel, and don't stop every day to supervise them." In addition, the people of the capital can also come to watch, be open and honest, and let everyone witness it with their own eyes, so that the world can be convinced! ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhen walked away.

Tian Fang was stupid, what else did he want to say, Wang Ningan came over and smiled at him, "Lord Tian, Shennong tastes a hundred herbs, since you believe in the theory of lead and mercury, then you should have a spirit of dedication...... If you unfortunately die in the experiment, it is just that you are confused, but you have no intention of framing the king, and your family may still be able to get generous pensions, and the stakes, Lord Tian must think clearly! ”

"You!"

Tian Fang was so angry that he trembled, he was born in the imperial history, and he came up by stinging people, and when the copper price war, he jumped out and blocked Wang Deyong, but he angered Zhao Zhen and almost lost his official position.

But fortunately, the immortals in the back couldn't bear to be stewed such a good dog, so they tried their best to save Tian Fang and push him to a high position in the Inquisition's Court.

Although there are six ministries in the Great Song Dynasty, they are actually the same as the three provinces, all of them are in vain, and the authority of the officials at the head of the six ministries is all vested in the Inquisition's Yuan, and the promotion and life and death of middle and lower-level officials are all pinched in the Inquisition's Yuan.

In the past two years, Tian Fang has been very majestic.

As the so-called cannibalistic mouth is short, his master gave him a death order and never allowed Zhao Zhen to move the capital!

Once the capital is moved, all these years of decoration are over, how can they bear it!

Tian Fang had no other way, thinking about it, he thought of the theory of Fang Shizhi and cracking the theory of lead poisoning, he felt that the matter of the gods was not clear, and various legends in the past dynasties continued, and Zhao Zhen could not distinguish the truth from the false.

As long as it is not clear, the officials can rely on the numerical advantage to force the emperor to bow his head, this trick has been tried and tested for many years!

But how did he know that when he met Wang Ningan, he was completely planted.

When it comes to this, can he refuse?

The next day, Tian Fang took the cover roll and a few Taoist priests recommended by him, and stationed in ten houses together.

Across a wall, in another yard, there were 30 felons, and from this day on, they became guinea pigs.

……

Although the people of the capital have seen a lot, but have never seen this kind of liveliness, from the first day, the big guys have flocked to the Great Xiangguo Temple, to see with their own eyes, what is the myth that has been passed down for thousands of years, whether it is true or false!

The fat Buddha seal monk collects tickets and collects soft hands...... In the previous month, the prisoners had eaten and drunk well every day, and their lives were much more comfortable than in the prison, and they were all white and fat.

As for Tian Fang's side, he and a few Taoist priests worked and rested normally every day, refining pills, and soon, those Taoist priests were also ruddy and full of energy.

When I got up in the morning to practice boxing and qi, the fairy wind was unusual, and many people wanted to kneel down and kowtow to call Master.

And so it went on for two months.

The people in the capital became more and more convinced of the magic of the gods, and they sneered at the poison of lead and mercury, and even some officials asked Zhao Zhen to move back to the palace immediately and not to listen to the villain's slander.

All kinds of spearheads are aimed at Wang Ning'an.

Wang Erlang was calm, "I heard that someone opened a gambling plate, and there are many people who buy me and lose, right?" ”

Wang Luoxiang smiled and said, "A lot! I heard that hundreds of thousands of yuan were staked. ”

"Well, you let our mother take out a million yuan, and bet that my brother will win. When I get back and earn money, I will give you a dowry! ”

Wang Luoxiang was also slim, and when he heard his brother's words, his little face turned red, he stuck out his tongue and ran away.

Another half a month passed...... Suddenly, that morning, one of the prisoners rushed out of the courtyard before dawn, holding his head, screaming in pain, and tearing his heart out.

"Headache, headache!"

Di Yong, who was in charge of the guards, was immediately awakened and hurriedly shouted: "Go and tell Lord Wang that someone has been poisoned!" ”
