"Realgar weakens the poison in mercury? What is the principle?" Sun Simiao had never heard of it.
"Certain substances in realgar combined with mercury will turn into a non-toxic solid, which is red and stone-like, and can be used as paint for painting. Godfather, when I went to the toilet a few days ago,
Have you discharged these small red particles?" Lin Yi turned to ask Li Shimin after explaining.
Sun Simiao also looked over. As a doctor, it is common to observe the patient's bowel movements, let alone just ask.
Li Shimin shrugged. He never looked at his own urine when going to the toilet.
Next to him, Eunuch Gao nodded repeatedly. This was indeed true. The little eunuch who cleaned the emperor's room did mention it to him once, but he just thought that those were just grains of sand, maybe because the servants didn't clean them up.
It turns out that this kind of thing really does happen! It seems that Xiao Yi knows more than him in some aspects. Sun Simiao is very pleased. His apprentice is capable, which makes him very happy.
"Your Majesty, I can guarantee that Taoist Priest Yuan Tiangang doesn't know about this matter. He definitely doesn't mean to harm the Emperor. I hope the Emperor can spare him for once." Sun Simiao helped Taoist Yuan plead for mercy. At least the outcome could only depend on the Emperor's mood.
.
Li Shimin nodded, of course he knew it. But he was not the only one who was taking it in the entire Tang Dynasty. Some powerful ministers were also taking this panacea. He had to make a ruling. This kind of thing can no longer be used.
It has been passed down.
"Xiao Yi, you have made great achievements this time, what reward do you want?" Li Shimin turned to Lin Yi and asked Lin Yi. He wanted to wait until he calmed down before considering Yuan Tiangang's problem.
"Thousand-year-old ginseng, preferably Korean red ginseng." Lin Yi knew what he wanted this time. This thing was very useful to him, but only thousand-year-old ginseng was useful. Hundred-year-old ginseng could only have an effect on Li Chengqian. With his
Level, eating it means not eating it.
"Okay, I'll let someone go and take a look. If there is anything, it's all yours." For Lin Yi, Li Shimin's reward was still very generous.
"That's great." Lin Yi cheered, smiling so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.
His happy look also made Sun Simiao and Li Shimin laugh. What a simple child! The two shook their heads and sighed.
===========
A small fishing village in Haizhou, Henan Province
A short old man carried a wooden bucket and a bundle on his back and walked out of the village to the beach. He took off his cloth shoes next to the big bluestone some distance from the beach, rolled up his trousers, put down the bundle, and then continued to carry the wooden bucket.
Step into the cold water.
"Crazy grandpa, are you playing in the sea water again?" Two little girls aged seven or eight ran to the beach with a small bamboo basket. They were already very familiar with this old man, but in their little hearts they didn't know it.
Understand why this white-bearded grandpa loves playing in the sea so much.
"Da Ya, Er Ya, are you here to pick up crabs again? Be careful and don't get caught in your hands." The old man with a smile on his face warned.
"Well, the crabs are all fast asleep now. There won't be any problem. Crazy Grandpa, we won't bother you anymore." Da Ya took her sister away and her father gave her orders. Crazy Grandpa is doing something big. If he succeeds,
, their lives will get better, so they can’t disturb the crazy grandpa playing in the water.
"Okay, please slow down." The old man with a dark face and white beard straightened up and waved to them.
On the calm seaside, two girls were seriously looking for crabs in the mud. Next to the big rock far away from the seaside, the old man returned to the bluestone with a bucket full of seawater. He took out another bag from his bag.
A lot of weird things came out.
A handsome middle-aged man in the distance was walking towards the old man.
"Wise man, is there still no progress?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Huh? Master, why don't you come here when you have time?" The wise man looked up and then replied.
"Yes, I can't stay in the capital any longer." Yang Kuan, the leader of Ji'an Sect, replied.
"He was chased by Sui Feng!" the wise man joked. This matter spread throughout the sect.
Yang Kuan looked helpless.
"Wise man, during our operation in the capital this time..."
"Don't tell me about action. You know I don't like to hear that. The purpose of our Ji'an religion is to help the world and the people, hoe the strong and help the weak. Let everyone in the Tang Dynasty have enough to eat, and let there be no injustice in the Tang Dynasty.
But not for this goal, to kill innocent people indiscriminately!" Every time he mentioned this matter, the wise man couldn't help being angry. Sometimes he really regretted joining this sect, but his personal ability is limited, and this sect has nothing to do with his views.
It's the closest.
"Wise man, in order to achieve this goal, it is impossible not to die. It is worth sacrificing a few people to benefit the majority of people." Yang Kuan persuaded with sincerity. He didn't know how many times he had said this.
, but the wise man just couldn't listen, and he still hasn't designed an action plan for them. Fortunately, he is still in charge of the Charity Hall's plan, otherwise the church would be in chaos.
"But those people are innocent. It would be fine if they really deserved their punishment. But you are not letting some children go. Aren't you going too far?"
"This...but their parents are not innocent. You also know that Yang Xiao has been Yang Su's domestic slave since he was a child. Yang Su's sons have the same temperament as him. Even Yang Xiao's mother was whipped by them.
Even to the point of death, it was common for him to be beaten by his master's children. His heart was a little abnormal, but it didn't harm the lives of those children, and he was usually fine. Besides, we also saved a lot of them.
People! You know, our Charity Hall has been doing good deeds outside, giving out porridge, delivering medicine, punishing corrupt officials, and eradicating banditry. Which of these things have we done less? I don’t know how many people have benefited from us..."
The old man waved his hand: "I know everything you said. His life experience is pitiful, but that's not why he killed innocent people. He didn't kill those children, but what's the difference between letting the seriously injured ones fend for themselves and killing them?
?Besides, among the four hall masters under you, except Ran Xu who has always been responsible for doing good deeds, which hall master does not have the blood of innocent people on his hands? Moreover, you have already reached into the palace? Do you want to save the world?
Anmin still wants to be the emperor himself?"
The old man stared at Yang Kuan seriously, trying to understand what he was thinking.
"I didn't want to be the emperor. Nowadays, people are tired of the war. I have no chance at all. And with the few people we have, rebellion is undoubtedly a fantasy. It is simply impossible." Yang Kuan smiled bitterly and calmly talked to the old man.
Looking at each other.
"Then why did you reach into the palace?"
"First, for the safety of our religion, I must pay attention to Li Shimin's actions. Second, the palace is the place where information about the entire Tang Dynasty is collected. Third, you also know that I used to be the bodyguard of Concubine Yang. I can confess
I'm telling you, if possible, I will help Concubine Yang's son ascend to the throne."
"Just because you like that woman?"
Yang Kuan smiled bitterly.
"Forget it, I won't argue with you. You people are crazier than my old lunatic." The wise man waved his hand, knowing that their argument would be fruitless.
"I want to say that during this operation in the capital, I found a child who is very smart and has made many things that I never thought of before. Maybe he can help you solve the problem of getting salt from seawater." The leader.
Sighing, he couldn't convince this old madman, but if he could complete this initiative early, he still wanted to try it.
"A child? I have been studying something for two years and have not been able to complete it. Do you think he can do it?" The wise man suddenly felt a little angry. Is this because he did not believe in his own ability?
"Don't be angry. You have been in this fishing village for too long and don't know much about the outside world. I have brought a few things. You will know after you take a look." Yang Kuan didn't want to make him angry at all, so he spoke softly.
