The development of things is often not based on human will. If a small thing with low error tolerance has more controlled links, the greater the probability of its collapse.
The Miyun excavation case had gradually calmed down, Hu Yongfu was killed, and Ma Bin, who covered it, disappeared. If these two key links were removed, even if the court knew that it must be hiding other shady stories, the repeated turmoil in the officialdom was not liked by Zhu Yijun and the Political Affairs Hall.
, Politicians are not obsessive-compulsive, and they all know that when the water is clear, there will be no fish.
However, everything that happened at the West Market Law Court had to be drawn to a thorough and clear conclusion by the court - if it was announced to the public, what was exposed would not be called a shady story, but a complete farce.
In this black and absurd script, Hu Yong, the leader of the evil forces who organized illegal activities, stole minerals, and bribed power, became a "victim", and the gangster who fought and injured people became a heroic hero, the father of the Queen Mother, and the count of the empire.
He became a funny clown, and with the help of newspapers, he suddenly gave birth to a blue sky where "the sky sees itself and the people see it".
Shao Boti was interviewed on his hospital bed and vividly described the image of the emperor harvesting rice that appeared in front of him before he was determined to be executed. The image of a state inspired by the emperor and the origin of lofty ideas was suddenly established in flesh and blood.
The officials finally discovered that Wanping County Magistrate is an officer with high consciousness, good moral character, and outstanding abilities - which shows that it is not advisable to determine your future based on academic performance. With the in-depth intervention of powerful departments such as the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the National Security Bureau, the details
During the investigation of the entire excavation case, rumors have spread that Shao Boti will directly enter the Qingliu Huaxuan, and his appointment to the civil service department will be issued soon.
Shao Boti, who became famous in the First World War, was on the fast track to promotion, but others may not be so lucky. When the state machine, which was still functioning well, started to operate, all monsters and monsters gradually lost their place.
On the twelfth day of the first lunar month in the thirteenth year of Wanli, the capital city was covered with white snow. With the development of industry, more and more workers were employed in various places. In previous years, refugees who begged for food in the capital before and after the Spring Festival were rarely seen, and therefore there were few Shuntian Prefectures.
a job.
Prime Minister Han Pil-hyun of Shuntian Prefecture had finished his New Year greetings and it was almost dusk when he walked to the door of his house, which was the time when thousands of households were lighting fires to cook.
The entire capital was shrouded in light blue smoke, and Han Bixian's nose also smelled the somewhat choking smell of coal smoke. When you look closely at the haze, you can't see anything. It looks like the smoke of the past, but more like his mood.
This light blue haze only appeared in recent years, mainly because the capital has begun to use coal in large quantities.
Nowadays, except for the poor who gather grass and collect firewood by themselves in autumn, no one from the middle class or above in the capital burns firewood. The woodcutter has completely lost this livelihood. At the same time, the production of lotus root coal and various coal stoves has created new jobs.
, put down the hatchet and went back to forging iron and mud with his rough hands - as long as there is still some strength in the body, this strength must be exchanged for food and clothing. For thousands of years, ordinary people have lived like this all their lives.
As a large amount of coal was put into the market, the price gradually became cheaper than firewood. After smokers, hand stoves and other charcoal-burning heating items were abandoned in the palace, coal stoves and fireplaces with chimneys finally became popular.
Within the palace, there are hundreds of various kinds of exquisite smokers in the homes of dignitaries, and now they are all gathering ashes in the warehouse. It is not that Zhu Yijun and the nobles are helping the coal industry expand the market, but because these things are used every year because of their smoke.
Killing a lot of people - after the winter this year, newspapers once again publicized it on a large scale.
The medical school has long studied and understood the toxic mechanism of carbon monoxide, and researchers published it in the journal Gewu. Immediately, newspapers also carried out large-scale publicity. Li Shizhen, deputy dean of the medical school and dean of the medical school, pointed out in the quotation of his paper that carbon monoxide poisoning is very serious.
It may be the leading cause of maternal and infant mortality in noble families.
"The so-called 'red charcoal' used by noble people is warm and durable, gray and white but not explosive. It is nothing more than incomplete combustion. Its qi can harm people, causing dizziness, coma and vomiting. It is acceptable for adults, but not for infants and young children.
? Perhaps being exposed to this poison will cause you to die repeatedly, which can be both good and painful."
The revelation of the toxic mechanism of carbon monoxide has even solved the mysterious reason why most of the princes and daughters of the Ming Dynasty died young - not only did the palaces in the Forbidden City have no chimneys, but they often used smokers weighing hundreds of kilograms. In the environment with closed doors and windows in winter, if adults feel suffocated
Who dares to carry a swaddled baby into the ice and snow when he can go out for some air? [Note 1]
Although low-concentration carbon monoxide may not be fatal, it has greatly harmed the bodies of members of the royal family and aristocratic families. The royal family of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the original time and space never found the reason for the lack of people in the Forbidden City, and even attributed it to the theory of Feng Shui.
, what a pity.
Zhu Yijun understood this truth and had always paid great attention to the ventilation in the palace in winter. Therefore, no tragedy had occurred in the Forbidden City since he traveled through the city. After the medical school studied the generation and toxicology of carbon monoxide, Zhu Yijun took the lead in abandoning the Forbidden City.
Instead of a smoker, use a stove or fireplace with a chimney. After the birth of the emperor's eldest daughter, the room did not even use a stove or fireplace, but only a fire wall and a fire bed for heating.
...
As a senior official in red robes, Han Bixian had never thought about these things. But during the Spring Festival, he discovered that the exquisite gilt copper cloisonné enamel three-legged smoking cage was no longer used at home, and his daughter no longer used the charcoal cakes.
The hand stoves - all have been changed to coal stoves and soup pots.
Because a coal stove needs to be connected to a chimney, it is difficult to make it look better than a smoker. The most you can do is add some patterns and inlay some copper materials. Moreover, lotus root coal is worse than red charcoal. There is smoke when lighting a fire, and it is even black.
It's ugly - just like all kinds of new things happening in the world now, they are more than practical but seriously lacking in style.
It is difficult to ignite lotus root coal in the stove, so it must be burned with igniting lotus root coal, also called big-eye coal, and a newspaper is needed to burn big-eye coal. The servants of the Han family used a fire sickle to light the newspaper.
- This is a machine that was only circulated since Rishenglong in the twelfth year of Wanli. It is a square silver box with an open lid at the top. The file wheel rubs the flint to ignite the cotton wick soaked in kerosene. It is exquisite and exquisite. The cheapest one sells four
A silver dollar, if embedded with jewelry or gold filigree patterns, can cost hundreds of dollars.
Once this thing came out, it replaced all the exquisite fire sickles in the wallets of the nobles in the capital. No matter how exquisite the fire sickle was, it took a minute to make a fire, while the fire sickle machine only took one second. The expensive fire oil also declared the user
financial resources and status.
Thinking of kerosene, Han Bixian thought of his own situation. At first, his greed was just a spark on the kerosene. When he accepted Ma Bin's bribe for the first time, he was so frightened that his face was still white after he got home. That night
I didn't dare to sleep all night.
Later, this flame turned into a furnace of charcoal fire. Blue flames burst out from the pores of morality and conscience, burning the furnace red. He openly regarded the bribe from Miyun as a routine filial piety, and the Han family also
Lived a "happy" life cooked by fire and filled with flowers.
However, with the collapse of the thief's cave and the shouts at the execution ground, all of this was shattered - the flames in the furnace licked the roof, burning everything to pieces, reflecting Han Bixian's face,
Just like when he first accepted the bribe, his face was pale and bloodless.
After sending his wife and daughter to visit his sister’s house to pay New Year’s greetings, a fire broke out in the Han family’s study in the dark night, quickly alarming the neighborhood—fire prevention in winter, especially in the first month, is a top priority, and everyone is worried about it.
It collapsed very tightly.
When the fire was extinguished, Han Bixian was left with only a section of black char, curled up like a defeated dog that could no longer scream. The sudden fire almost stopped the investigation of the Miyun excavation case at the level of Shuntian Fucheng.
