That night, after seeing off Yang Li's brothers and sisters, Zhao Ze immediately returned to the study, laid out the letter paper, and worked hard to write. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a while, a letter of more than 2,000 words was written.

Zhao Ze picked up the letter paper, read it from the beginning, and then made some modifications and deletions while sketching, until in the end there were only more than 1,200 words left.

After revising, Zhao Ze took out a few pieces of letter paper again and began to transcribe seriously.

This transcription took nearly two hours.

After the transcription was completed, Zhao Ze checked it again, and after confirming that it was completely correct, he put it into a special envelope, and then neatly wrote on the envelope, "The crown prince and the prince of the Ministry of Officials Shangshu Jianji Hall Scholar Cabinet First Assistant Ding personally opened".

Patiently waiting for the ink to dry, Zhao Ze sealed the letter with fire paint, and then put it in a small wooden box.

As for the draft, Zhao Ze directly put it on the candle flame on the side and burned it to ashes.

After all this was properly handled, Zhao Zecai breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the study, handed over the wooden box to the housekeeper, and ordered him to expedite it with eight hundred li and send it to Shangjing City overnight.

......

Five days later, Yang Li, who had moved to live in the county seat, also received a secret letter from Shangjing City.

The person who sent the letter was from the Ministry of War, and he looked like a dusty servant, although he knew that the other party's status might not be lower than Zhao Ze by looking at the color of his clothes, but his attitude towards Yang Li was extremely modest.

Yang Li tore open the sealed fire paint on the letter and began to read it carefully.

The letter was written by Qin Tianya, the same governor of Fengzhou, and first described the reactions of all parties after Yang Li's assessment results were reported to the imperial court.

The appearance of the special controller is a major matter of the country, and Qin Tianya was summoned to the palace overnight by the current saint on the same day. Then the cabinet ministers began to inquire in detail about the examination process and carefully examine the broken ruby test stones.

Since Yang Li's diamond was still embedded in the test stone, no one raised any objections during the inspection.

Then it was handled according to the normal process, and Yang Li's personal details were inquired and verified, and the cabinet was written to write an excerpt nomination application, etc.

But I don't know what the reason is, these processes are going very slowly, and the procedures that can be completed in one day have not been completed in three days. The Ministry of War sent people to urge the inquiry, but they were told that the matter was very important and that they needed to be more cautious.

As a result, two days ago, three cabinet ministers, led by Lord Ding, the first assistant, began to jointly submit a petition: the name of the special controller cannot be easily granted, and the relevant personnel of the Ministry of Rites need to be designated by the imperial court to review and verify it, so as to avoid omissions and mistakes.

As for the reward that Yang Li deserved, it was naturally put on hold indefinitely.

In the end, it was Zhang Quzhengzhang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who fought the basis of reason, so that the imperial court gave a small part of the reward first, so as not to chill Yang Li's heart.

Accompanying the letter was a gift box made of phoenix wood.

The yield of Fengming wood is scarce, dense and tough, and the value is still above the gloomy ghost wood.

If the precious wood that has appeared on the market in Yunguo is classified as the third grade, the gloomy ghost wood can be classified as the third grade, and the Fengming wood can be classified as the second grade.

If it weren't for the fact that this piece of Fengming wood had already been made into a box, Yang Li would like to take it and polish it, and then use it as his own weapon.

Yang Li opened the box with great anticipation, and then was pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually filled with a bottle of quenching spirit liquid! And the jade bottle used for this time was even larger, almost twice as much as the bottle at Zhao Ze's dinner last time!

Yang Li knew that this was because he had rejected Zhao Ze's wooing and made the main battle faction in the court feel that he was inclined to stand on their side. Otherwise, how could Zhang Qu, a dignified and second-class court official, put so much effort into fighting for practical benefits for a person like himself who he had never met?

The so-called loss of the horse, how to know is not a blessing, nothing more than this!

The person who delivered the letter stood aside at this time, and also said with envy: "This bottle of quenching spirit liquid is a treasure of the Holy Treasure of the Ouchi Imperial Palace, and it is impossible for those who have not made great contributions in the past to be given this thing. If Young Master Yang can be so valued by the Holy Lord and Lord Zhang, his future prospects are naturally limitless!"

Yang Li smiled and said a few words modestly, and then prepared to give him some reward money according to the practice of officialdom.

Unexpectedly, this move was seen by him, and he directly and sternly refused: "Since we are all working for the Holy Lord, for the strength of the country and the peace of the people, how can we be covered with copper stench like some corrupt officials and corrupt officials? Don't mention this kind of thing again in the future!"

Yang Li admired the attitude of this military official, and immediately did not mention the matter of sending money, but politely sent people away.

After informing his sister, Yang Li returned to his room and placed the jade bottle containing the quenching spirit liquid in front of him.

Originally, if the imperial court wanted to send someone to review, Yang Li was still more worried, after all, his true level was not high, and it would be easy to give people the truth when the time came. But now that he has this bottle of quenching elixir, he can use it at some risk to quickly increase his elemental power.

Yang Li didn't take the quenching liquid at the beginning, but first found a small porcelain plate, poured out one of the drops and landed on it. The quenching liquid is colorless and tasteless, and it is not friendly with the porcelain plate, standing quietly in the center of the porcelain plate like a crystal clear bead.

Then Yang Li began to use his observation power accurate to the proton level to see its specific structure.

A full ten minutes passed before the observation ended.

Yang Li was surprised to find that the main ingredient in this quenching liquid was a particle with a volume comparable to a large molecule, but the things that made up the particle were not atoms, but dozens of tiny particles that he had heard of.

Moreover, the combination of various tiny particles is also extremely ingenious, which is a little different from what Yang Li knew before: metallic bonds, polar bonds, and co-position bonds.

Yang Li thought about it carefully, and finally determined that this mysterious particle was neither the common atoms, protons, neutrons, and electrons, nor the quarks, bosons, fermions, and antimatter that he had only occasionally heard of.

This is most likely a substance that has never been seen on Earth.

Next, Yang Li made two more drops of quenching spirit liquid and tried to put them on the palm of his right hand to observe.

But as soon as this quenching liquid touched the palm of his hand, it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and it directly penetrated into his body at a speed visible to the naked eye!

According to Yang Li's knowledge, if such a large particle wants to pass through the cell membrane, it must first consume ATP to form vesicles, and transport it through endocytosis, the whole process is relatively slow, and it is impossible to be as fast as now.

It's amazing!

Yang Li couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart.

After a while, Yang Li began to feel the elemental crystal embryo in his body gradually getting hot, the blood circulation in his entire body slowly accelerated, and his heart beat more and more violently. At the same time, Yang Li's whole person also became clear-eared, as if he felt that the world around him suddenly became clear and slow.

In this process, Yang Li could also feel that the mysterious substances contained in the quenching spirit liquid were converging towards his elemental crystal embryo.

"Could it be that this substance is the main component of the elemental crystal embryo?"

Yang Li was thinking about this question, and suddenly his expression changed drastically, because he clearly felt that his crystal embryo the size of a grain of rice actually began to beat and expand, and there was a faint danger of cracking!

Yang Li was in a hurry, and hurriedly used his atomic-level control power to mobilize all the molecules containing carbon atoms near the crystal embryo, and firmly encapsulated and imprisoned the elemental crystal embryo.

This is because the elemental crystal embryo is in his body, if it is a foreign object, as long as it is separated by a layer of substance, Yang Li will not be able to control it at all.

After a long time of apprehension, the elemental crystal embryo stopped expanding and became stable again. Yang Li's own heartbeat and blood flow speed also returned to a normal state.

In other words, these two drops of quenching spirit liquid had been completely absorbed by Yang Li and survived the danger safely.

"No wonder they all say that only the Yuan Controller can use this quenching liquid, if I don't have atomic-level control, I'm afraid I will also lose my footing and become a thousand years of hatred. ”

In Yang Li's heart, he still had some fears.

However, since this matter had passed, after summing up the experience a little, Yang Li was no longer entangled, but shifted his gaze to his elemental crystal embryo.

Yang Li immediately discovered that the volume of his elemental crystal embryo had directly skyrocketed by more than one-tenth!

Overjoyed, Yang Li didn't stay any longer, and after his crystal embryo was stabilized, he began to continue to use the remaining quenching liquid.
