612, "Piano Ray", angry eyebrows out of the sword →

What is a "piano ray"? I would like to give you a brief introduction here:

"Lyre rays" are X-rays.

X-rays were discovered by accident by German physicist Wilhelm Konrad Röntgen while doing an experiment. Roentgen was born in Rennep, Germany, in 1845. In 1869, he received a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Zurich. Over the next 19 years, he worked at various universities and earned the reputation of an outstanding scientist. From 1888 onwards Röntgen was professor and dean of the Faculty of Physics at the University of Würzburg.

On November 8, 1895, after lunch, Roentgen, as usual, went back into the laboratory to fiddle with the most peculiar optical instrument of the time, the vacuum "Crooks-Hitov tube". In the evening, when he again connected to the power supply of the tube wrapped in black paper to study the cathode rays it produced, he stumbled upon a bright light on a stool about two meters away. It turned out that there was a piece of cardboard coated with barium platinum cyanide, a fluorescent substance, used for other experiments. He wondered what was the reason for the non-glowing cardboard. He keenly guessed that it was most likely that some "thing" from the tube reached the cardboard and made the platinum barium cyanide glow, but not a cathode ray, since it could only penetrate a few centimeters of air. He turned off the power, and the light faded, repeating this several times, confirming his suspicions. Because of the uncertain nature of the "thing" emitted by the tube, Roentgen named the phenomenon "X-ray" – X is the symbol for unknown numbers commonly used in mathematics. On January 23, 1896, Kricker, a professor at the University of Würzburg, called "X-rays" "Roentgen rays". A discovery that changed the face of the world was born.

Motivated by this serendipitous discovery, Roentgen put aside other research projects to concentrate on investigating the properties of X-rays. After research, he discovered that X-rays can make many substances glow; X-rays can penetrate opaque substances, and he particularly noticed that X-rays can penetrate his flesh, but are only blocked by bones, and put his hand between the cathode ray tube and the phosphor screen, and can see the shadow of the hand bone on the phosphor screen; X-rays are straight lines, and unlike charged particle beams, they are not refracted by magnetic fields...... In the end, Roentgenium achieved nine results on the important properties of X-rays with great experimental skills. It can be seen that Roentgen did not become a giant in the discovery of X-rays by just looking at the fluorescent cardboard, but became an outstanding scientist by relying on keen observation, scientific foresight, accurate judgment, and superb experimental ability. In 1901, when the first Nobel Prize in Physics was selected, 17 of the 29 letters of recommendation recommended him. Roentgen eventually won the first Nobel Prize in Physics.

In 1923, Roentgen died in Munich, Germany, at the age of 78.

Coincidentally, in the Central Plains at the end of the Tang Dynasty, in an assassination operation to kill the Son of Heaven, a set of "X-shaped (shaped) shaped" "piano rays" were also danced. Here's the thing-

Shortly after the death of Ouyang Qingfeng, the "Iron Fan Prince", it was December 25, and the "Three Cats" Ye Wuwu had heard that his second brother Ye Jinfeng had settled in Dengfeng Shaolin Temple in Henan, so he planned to enter the palace and resign from the Son of Heaven and go to Shaolin Temple to find his brother. However, when he saw the Son of Heaven and explained his intentions, the Son of Heaven kept him. The reason is that there will be a Khitan mission to pay tribute in the near future. However, the so-called "comers are not good". This Khitan has always looked down on the Central Plains Dandan, this time they came unexpectedly, willing to bow their heads and pay tribute, I really don't know what kind of medicine they sell in their gourds? Therefore, as a precaution, the Son of Heaven asked Ye to not leave the palace for the time being, and when the tribute was over, he was allowed to go to Shaolin. For the order of the Son of Heaven, the "three cats" are harmless and naturally obey the order. The so-called state affairs, family affairs, and world affairs should naturally be given priority to state affairs, and should not be reversed. After receiving the order, Ye Wuwu dispelled the idea of going to Shaolin to find his brother, and prepared to deal with the Khitan visit.

Two days later, the Khitan envoys were stationed in the capital. There were eighteen people in their group, nine men and nine women, led by a middle-aged man named Yelu Alan. On the same day, Prime Minister Chen Tianzhong was ordered by the emperor to open a way to greet them at the south gate of the imperial city and placed them in the VIP embassy. Subsequently, Chen Tianzhong entered the palace to report to the Son of Heaven, saying that the envoy would officially enter the court tomorrow to present to the Son of Heaven, and asked the Son of Heaven to make all preparations to welcome him. So, the Son of Heaven ordered Shen Taiji, Situ Yimin, Ye Wuwu, Qin Tianxia and others to arrange tomorrow's greeting tasks according to the arrangement.

Just after the second day, it was the 27th day of December in the winter season, and the civil and military officials went to court early. All of a sudden, inside and outside the court, the officials and forbidden soldiers were divided into two lanes, the flags were fluttering, and the music was everywhere, and the momentum was magnificent. On this Shinto road composed of officers and soldiers, a group of 18 people from the Khitan mission carried neatly, and slowly walked towards the majestic court hall in the company of Chao Le.

In the middle of the court, Cheng Fugui, the son of heaven, sat in front of the desk, condescending, looking at the Khitan envoys who were slowly walking outside the hall, and gradually showed a calm face.

Soon, the Khitan envoys had entered the main hall. I saw Yelu Alan step forward alone, saluted the Son of Heaven and said, "The Khitan envoys meet His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

"Good! Excuse me, excuse me! The Son of Heaven waved his hand and said, "Presumably you are Yelu Alan, the brother of the Khitan Emperor Yelu Abaoji." ”

"Back to Your Majesty the Emperor, the minister is Yelu Abaoji's brother Yelu Alan."

"Hmm!" The Son of Heaven stood up with a smile and said, "What do you think of my court compared to your country's? ”

Hearing the Son of Heaven's straightforward question, Yelu Alan immediately looked left and right, but replied arrogantly: "The court of your country is nothing more than that! If you want to talk about the court of our country, it is magnificent and splendid. Under the throne of the emperor, beauties are like forests, and masters are like clouds; Wenchen sweats into rain, and military generals become clouds, which can become the foundation of eternity. ”

Hearing Yelu Alan's self-pride for a while, Chen Tianzhong, the prime minister of Zuo, couldn't help it, and refuted angrily: "Yelu Alan, you are too conceited. Could it be that the court of our emperor is far inferior to the hall of your country? ”

"Whoa! Chen Aiqing," I saw the Son of Heaven stop with a smile: "General Yelu Alan is right. The Khitan is a powerful country in the north, and when I was the crown prince, I once visited his country in person, and his words were true. It is really a list of lessons for our dynasty. ”

At this time, Yelu Alan said again: "Your Majesty, Weichen is from the Khitan, and he has a special gift, please accept it." As he spoke, he turned and gestured back to a messenger with a tray in his hand.

"Your Majesty, this is what I offer to your country on behalf of the Khitan Emperor, called the Seven Poisons. These seven poisons are the black heart lotus, rotten bone grass, broken intestine grass, peacock gall, crane top red, golden silkworm zhong, and Shura flower. ”

"Bold Yelu Alain!" I saw Huang Chongyang, who had been promoted to supervise the imperial history, shouted: "What is your intention in offering the 'Seven Poisonous Things'? ”

Besides, Chen Tianzhong, the prime minister of Zuo at this time, saw this situation, and he was even more angry, shouting: "Someone! Take Jereh Alain and me! At this order, two warriors came forward to take Yelu Alan. However, at this time, Cheng Fugui, the Son of Heaven, stopped again: "Stand down!" ”

"Yes!" The two samurai flashed to the side.

"Jeruaran, I accept the gift of your country. But I think that what you have offered on behalf of your country is by no means just the 'Seven Poisons'. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty is right. The great gift of our kingdom is still to come, Your Majesty, please see—" Yelu Alain finished speaking, and raised his hand sideways. Suddenly, I saw nine beautiful women walking towards me. The woman in the middle, dressed in white and wearing a green gauze and red belt on her shoulders, is even more outstanding and slim. What makes the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs shine even more is that the jade qin in the arms of the woman in the wind of the jade tree is the most eye-catching. In front of everyone's eyes, the nine graceful exotic girls slowly walked to the center of the main hall, and the woman holding the qin sat cross-legged on the ground, put the jade qin flat on her legs, facing the throne of the Son of Heaven in front of her, and played the qin. Suddenly, this hall resounded with a faint and meandering exotic tone, making the Son of Heaven and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military as if immersed in a musical flower hall. At the same time, the other eight flower-like women began to dance to the rhythm of the piano. What a "dance to figure out the shadow, how it seems to be in the world!" "Even though there are a thousand kinds of styles, who can you tell them about?" Insiders can see at a glance that they are performing the popular northern dance "Swan Dance".

Besides, Ye Wuwu, who has been standing silently on the right side of the Son of Heaven, has not given up his vigilance at all with a pair of extremely alert eyes. For, by his awareness, he found that Jereh Alain had given the woman a look. The woman who sat cross-legged on the harp seemed to notice that a young warrior on the right side of the Son of Heaven had been watching her, but she turned her green snake eyes to the strings as if nothing had happened, and focused on stroking the trembling strings.

However, in this musical auditorium, the soft and beautiful sound of the piano has brought the people of the Manchu Dynasty into a clear and quiet Swan Lake. These eight exotic girls dancing around the piano meandered like white swans in a lake, with slender eyebrows and eyes, soft felt-like joints, velvety palms, cold and provocative thin waists, charming smiles, and flower-like red lips. When they are gently surrounded, the outstretched arms, the flickering jade-colored bare legs, and the half-covered breasts and breasts are definitely a generation of heavenly beauty that seduces people's souls and nights.

At this time, it is all reminiscent of the "Beautiful Woman in the North" made by Li Yannian, a courtier of the Western Han Dynasty, for Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty:

There are beautiful women in the north,

Peerless and independent.

A look at the city,

Then look at the country.

Rather than know the city and the country?

Beauty is rare!

In fact, the "three cats" are harmless and emotional, and they have had various hallucinations in their minds for a long time. The tune and artistic conception of this song "There is a Beautiful Woman in the North" have seemed to be a flash in the pan in front of his eyes, and it is fleeting. However, at the same time, Ya Wuwu felt disgust and suspicion for this flower-like beauty. The decline of many dynasties and the faint feed of emperors, all of them are beautiful women who are confusing the monarch and confusing the dynasty. Now this Khitan presents these nine beauties to the Son of Heaven, and its appearance seems to be surrounded by flowers and beautiful faces, but the sinister heart and toxins contained in it will be far more than a hundred times that of the "Seven Poisonous Things"! It is not difficult to imagine that the Khitan's offerings this time were not intended to erode the dynasty with poison and beauty, causing the Son of Heaven to indulge in beauty and be unable to extricate himself? The danger of his heart, the poison of his heart, among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, it has been seen that the murderous and poisonous flow hidden under this beautiful woman's dance is not only harmless. However, this is hidden after all, just like "unwarranted"; What's more, this is all a warm love from a foreign country, and no one wants to make something out of nothing and expose the murderous and poisonous flow implied under this beautiful girl on the spot. The reason is that the danger has not yet happened, and everything is normal. It was Taye who harmlessly stopped the nine women's piano dances, saying that they were in danger of killing the king, who would believe it? What's more, they entered the palace after being strictly inspected by Prime Minister Chen Cheng and the royal team, can they still rest assured of these defenseless little women? Don't say that the other ministers, even the Son of Heaven will shake their heads and smile.

At this time, the sound of the piano in the temple is very small from high to low, if there is nothing. The posture of the eight women was even more gently fluttering, as if it were slow. Gradually, the sound and posture of the piano were completely enveloped in a cloud of red velvety smoke. This hall and this hall only leaves a cloud of glow and red mist with people, a scene that covers people's ears and eyes.

Suddenly, the sound of the piano was loud, and the eight dancers seemed to be "golden roosters out of the cage", bursting out of the red mist, twisting their waists and shaking their arms, and dancing in all directions. Just when the courtiers in the hall were dazzling and dazzling, eight dancing girls lined up on both sides, leaving a cloud of red light and mist directly facing the throne of the Son of Heaven. Ye Wuwu saw this situation, and his heart was even more vigilant. He always felt that the red light and mist in front of him hid a bad omen. For a moment, he secretly clenched the hilt of his sword, and waited with great vigilance for the accident that was about to happen.

Sure enough, the sound of the piano broke in the fog. At this moment, the courtiers in the hall only saw five piano lines burst out, and they instantly swirled into X-shaped rays and attacked the Son of Heaven directly. It's too late, it's too soon. I saw that Ye Wuwu's eyes were fast beside the Son of Heaven, and under a sword light, all five piano lines were cut in two. It's dangerous! The "stave" of this murderous "lun, lun, lun, lun, and 囵) qin ray", which turned into an "X-shaped (shaped) ray" in the blink of an eye, was finally robbed by Ye Daxia with a sword and turned the danger into a disaster.

"Catch the assassin!" Ye Wuwu shouted while guarding in front of the Son of Heaven. However, before the shouting fell, I saw a woman holding a qin flying out of the red mist and attacking Ye harmlessly.

"Three cats" saw that it was fierce and did not dare to slack off, so he rushed to the crown angrily, exerted his vitality, and raised his sword to meet him. Suddenly, there was a "click" crack, the xylophone was split in half, and the jade was splashed everywhere! At the same time, Ye harmless "flew with one palm" and shot down the flying woman under the palace. Look at the female assassin again, she is already spitting blood from her mouth and leaning over the ground. At the same time, Shen Taiji, Qin Tianxia and others led the Ouchi guards to fly forward and capture Yelu Alan and the nine women alive.

"Bold Jereh Alain! I treat you with courtesy, and you dare to assassinate me. I'm going to kill you now, what else do you have to say? ”

Besides, Yelu Alan saw that the matter had come to this point, so he didn't have to argue, but straightened his chest and said calmly: "I can die for the Khitan and die without regrets." Unfortunately, I failed to complete my mission and kill you, a hypocrite. Now all I admire is this swordsman beside you. If it weren't for him, I think our five poisonous threads would have pierced your heart. ”

When Cheng Fugui heard what he said, he was horrified and happy, and he glanced at Ye harmless proudly, and said: "He is a favorite general by my side, his surname is Ye, and his name is harmless." What more do you want to know? ”

"Hahaha! Suffice it to know that. I think of you in the Central Plains, there is the feat of 'Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin', I hope I can be the second Jing Ke and stay in the world. ”

"Humph! I want to be Jing Ke second, dream! Do you think I'm really going to kill you? Tell you, I won't let you die so happily. By your deeds I will put you in prison and will not see the light of day. You can't survive, you can't die. Come on! Put them all on death row. ”
