Chapter 22: Fundamentals of Chemistry (3)

After Zhang Bingliang finished speaking, Zhang and Xu didn't know what to say next, and they couldn't be sure of their own judgment, so they simply fell silent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In the faint candlelight, the expressions of both of them were a little blurred, and it was impossible to tell whether they were happy or sad. It's not that the lights aren't bright enough, or that the human eyes aren't even bright. After a while, the two of them invariably turned their gaze to Lu Xin, who was sitting quietly on the side.

At this time, compared to Zhang Bingliang and Xu Ruqin's eagerness to discuss the topic, Lu Xin, who was sitting quietly on the side, did not seem to have any intention of joining them. People who are familiar with Lu Xin know very well that Lu Xin's only interest is to treat diseases and save people, and he has always been indifferent to other things. On weekdays, Lu Xin can sit quietly and not say a word for a day, but he can't be underestimated because of this. Because, Lu Xin has a natural sensitivity to politics, he doesn't like to talk, but he is very good at thinking, his mind is extremely meticulous, and he can make the right choice in every major decision.

Although Lu Xin is a deputy, he is good at planning. Tai Hospital may not be an important place in Daming's Jingshi, but in this Tai Hospital, Lu Xin's status is no less than Zhang Bingliang.

Lu Xin's personality likes to be quiet and does not like to move, which determines his characteristics of being good at planning, which happens to complement Zhang Bingliang in this regard.

Lu Xin's eyes were closed, and he gently stroked his hair, frowning every time he moved his brows, and then stretched out again. Between this frown, Lu Xin seemed to have gained something, he opened his eyes, the essence flashed in his eyes, and a smug smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Lord Zhang, Lord Xu, in my opinion, this is an excellent opportunity for us. The emperor's heart for reform is so real, this Ming Dynasty is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and the road to reform is full of difficulties. As soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he summoned Lord Zhang to reform the medical system and establish the Hongyi Academy, and he was directly promoted to our official positions. On the surface, it seems that the emperor is sympathetic to the border soldiers, but the emperor must have a deeper meaning, if I am not mistaken, the emperor will soon take action against other ministries. ”

Zhang Bingliang's heart was shocked: "Do it to the other six? Zhang Bingliang was full of doubts, not that he didn't trust Lu Xin, but that this time the matter was too important, so he couldn't afford not to pay attention to it.

"Yes, it's hands-on, and it will appear in the form of stormy waves!" Lu Xin's tone was extremely firm, he never doubted his intuition and judgment.

"How so?" Xu Ruqin also doesn't seem to understand, the emperor is only carrying out a simple medical reform, how can he predict that he will do something to the six ministries? This is also full of big question marks in his mind.

"It's actually very easy, just imagine, the emperor has just ascended the throne, what does he want to do the most?" Lu Xin didn't continue, he asked the two of them a question.

"Power." The two said in unison.

"Yes, it's power, but now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, the courtiers still control the power inside and outside the court, so the new emperor's foundation is unstable, the foreign ministers are too powerful, and even the ministers represented by Wei Zhongxian are also directly threatening the imperial power.

Therefore, the emperor will inevitably take action against various ministries in the near future to crack down on some people and gain absolute power. ”

After Lu Xin said this, he fell into contemplation again, Zhang Bingliang and Xu Ruqin also understood the deep meaning of Lu Xin's words, the era of great change may really come, they both thought about it themselves and savored it.

When Cao Huachun came to the Tai Hospital with the emperor's order, he happened to see this almost strange scene, the three of them sat upright on the chairs, but they were surprisingly quiet, no one said a word, and even their own arrival, the three of them did not notice. If other eunuchs came over, those who didn't understand the situation would definitely misunderstand that they didn't pay attention to themselves, but Cao Huachun wouldn't, he had always had some friendship with Lu Minyu, and he knew a lot about the affairs of the Tai Hospital.

"Lord Zhang, the emperor ordered you to go to the Qianqing Palace immediately." Cao Huachun broke the silence first, the emperor was still waiting to be restored, and Cao Huachun had no time to waste.

Zhang Bingliang realized that there was one more person in the house, so he quickly got up, wanted to hug his hands, and said apologetically: "It's so late, and I bother my father-in-law to go on a trip, it's really a shame to be humble." Zhang Bingliang said and took out a stack of silver tickets from his body and handed them to Cao Huachun in the greetings.

"Master Zhang, you are too polite, this is what an old slave should do." Cao Huachun said a few polite words, accepted it directly without prevarication, and continued: "You and I are both on errands for the emperor, as long as the emperor is happy, the old slave will be satisfied." Master Zhang, clean up, feel like let's go. "Cao Huachun is actually not a greedy person, but in this palace, sometimes he can't help himself, and human contacts are unavoidable. Therefore, Cao Huachun does not reject such courtesy exchanges.

After a while, Zhang Bingliang took the names of the sorted alchemy items and followed Cao Huachun to the Qianqing Palace. The guards at the gate of the Qianqing Palace seemed to be Zhang Bingliang, the envoy of the Tai Hospital, and did not stop them, and the two came to the main hall smoothly.

Zhang Bingliang was about to speak, but was stopped by Wang Chengen, because no one knew better than Wang Chengen that Chongzhen was thinking about something that seemed to be very important at this moment, and if he was disturbed at this critical moment, he really didn't know what would happen. Therefore, Wang Chengen stopped Zhang Bingliang with gestures.

Zhang Bingliang had no choice but to look at Chongzhen quietly in the hall, a little apprehensive in his heart, and he couldn't know what Chongzhen was looking for him for.

Chongzhen was sitting on the dragon chair, constantly writing something on rice paper. There is a vigorous heroic spirit between the eyebrows, and there is no joy or sorrow on the plain face, and the expression is extremely focused.

"Aiqing doesn't have to be polite. I came over today because I have other important things to do with you. I have compiled a set of chemistry textbooks today, Aiqing, you can see if you can understand it. "Chongzhen didn't talk nonsense with Zhang Bingliang, he didn't have much time, now Zhang Bingliang is the best candidate, and he must be familiar with it as soon as possible.

Chemistry textbooks? Zhang Bingliang took the chemical foundation in Chongzhen's hand with doubts, and looked at it carefully. It's just a manuscript, it's not bound, and some of the ink hasn't even dried completely enough to be sure it just happened.

Zhang Bingliang looked at the unfamiliar symbol in his hand, and was no less shocked than Wang Chengen. It's incredible that the emperor can understand this kind of thing like a book from heaven. Zhang Bingliang's eyes became warm, and he knelt down again. If the original kneeling was a reverence for the imperial power, this time it is a recognition from the bottom of my heart. It's not that the people of the Ming Dynasty like to kneel in front of people, on the contrary, the people of the Ming Dynasty will only kneel and worship heaven and earth, kings, and parents. Men have gold under their knees, and kneeling is the most important etiquette.
