Zhao Zhen was a little worried. There were a bunch of yellowed scrolls in front of him, which seemed full of mystery. Tian Fang patted his chest and sweared to the sky that lead was absolutely not poisonous.

Although Zhao Zhen does not agree, there are many sayings about gods in the world. Just talk about himself. People also say that he is the reincarnation of a barefoot immortal, and Zhao Zhen also readily accepted it...

After all, there are too many things in this world that cannot be explained. How should we deal with them?

Empress Cao came over with the little prince and left the depressed palace. The little prince's health was much better and he was very energetic. He was muttering what only Empress Cao could understand.

The son learned to speak... Zhao Zhen seemed to have discovered a new world, hugged his son and walked around happily several times.

Empress Cao glanced at the Taoist scriptures and alchemy on the table and smiled softly, "Sage, I heard a word that I always feel that I can learn from the paper. I have to practice it myself. Since they say that lead and mercury are not toxic, let them try it!"

Zhao Zhen put his son on his thigh and said without raising his head: "Like this, it seems to be what Wang Qing said... Knowledge and action are one, not bad... Zi Tong, how do you want to experiment? Are you feeding them directly the lead and mercury?"

Queen Cao was stunned, "Your Majesty, the mercury is heavy, and you will definitely die if you take it. Doing this will cause you to kill someone. I think you should invite Wang Qing over and see what he thinks."

Since Wang Ning'an recommended Qian Yi to save his son, Empress Cao looked at Wang Ning'an differently and always said good things in front of Zhao Zhen if she had nothing to do.

Without much effort, Wang Ning'an and even the uncle Cao Qi came.

"I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. From ancient times to the present, the magic of immortals has been passed down. In order to achieve immortality, emperors of all generations have sought immortal grass and refined elixirs, and have been continuously emerging one after another. However, over the years, I have only seen someone die after taking lead and mercury, but no one ascended to the Tao."

Wang Ning'an smiled and said, "It's better to do this. I said that lead is poisonous. They said that lead and mercury can become immortals, so let's compete. I arranged an environment full of lead to make them refining alchemy and practicing Taoism. The time limit is for three months. If they are healthy or even successful in their cultivation, then even if they win, if they get sick or poisoned, I would like to ask Your Majesty to take this as a warning and tell them. From then on, under the Song Dynasty, there will be no gods and magic tricks that will be rampant. No matter who people promote immortality, they will be severely punished!"

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen smiled happily: "This method is good, just do as Wang Qing said! Jing Xiu, you and Wang Qing will take care of it."

"yes."

Cao Guojiu honestly agreed. By the way, Cao Qi had contacted some Taoist priests and always felt that their fairy spirit was very extraordinary. He didn't think that Wang Ning'an could win this bet.

But Cao Guojiu was still confused and wanted to see what Wang Ning'an planned to do.

Some craftsmen were found and 20 prisoners were brought from the prison.

Wang Ning'an stood far away and directed them to move the lead pipes in the palace to Daxiangguo Temple, chose ten houses for retreat, and then buried some lead pipes about one foot underground.

Wang Ning'an felt that it was not enough, so he ordered the lead pipe to smash and mud, and wiped it all over the wall. There were also lead plates, water tanks, pots and pans under the bedding, and places where they could be placed.

It took two days to build a genuine lead room.

After finishing, he invited Zhao Zhen and the courtiers to come over.

"I heard from Your Majesty that Master Tian said that lead and mercury are not poisonous. I have created these houses for him. As long as he is in it for three months without any damage, I will admit defeat. How can Your Majesty be punished? I will never complain. If Lord Tian is indeed poisoned, it would be better to tell the world that the theory of lead and mercury is not credible. For the sake of my emperor's safety, the capital must be moved!"

Wang Ning'an looked around with a smile, "My lords, Your Majesty's safety is more important than anything else. I have brought it up to the move, which has caused a stir in the court and I can't get over it! You might as well use this experiment to decide whether to move the capital is better than just talking nonsense! What do you think?"

As soon as Wang Ning'an spoke, Ouyang Xiu immediately stood up and said, "I will tell you about your Majesty. The old minister thinks that Lord Wang has a good idea, so what should I do!"

"I'm going to give you a comment!" Di Qing bowed and said.

"I'm going to agree!" Bao Zheng also said.

The four important officials spoke together, which was very important.

Jia Changchao, who has always been known for his shamelessness, could see clearly that when he came to this point, it would be impossible not to experiment. He smiled at Tian Fang, "Mr. Tian, ​​if you believe in Taoism, you might as well experiment. What do you think?"

"I..." Tian Fang's face looked a little bad. Did he do it? "It is the duty of a minister to relieve his worries for the king. However, the officials are responsible for the important tasks of the judges' court, for fear of delaying the major affairs of the court."

"Won't!"

Zhao Zhen said decisively: "Tian Aiqing, I will let Su Xun take care of the judges' court first. What about you, concentrate on practicing here. After three months of success, I will add you to the Grand Secretary of Jixian Palace and enter the cabinet to serve as the prime minister!"

What a big deal!

The ministers were all a little dumbfounded, and Zhao Zhen said with a stern face: "This matter is about me, and the safety of my descendants for generations. Isn't it worth a Grand Secretary?"

Lao Jia could only take everyone and say together: "Your Majesty's wise!"

This time it was fun, and Tian Fang couldn't escape. No matter what, he had to go there.

"I'm worried that someone will frame me..."

"Please don't worry, Lord Tian." Wang Ning'an smiled and said, "This experiment is absolutely fair. When making this room, all parties were invited to witness it. There is only lead and no other poisons exist. In the next three months, all your food, clothing, clothing, and clothing will be witnessed by all parties, and there will be no other poisons. In addition, you alone are not convinced. You are also in the same way as those immortal chiefs. By the way, in addition to them, there is anyone who believes in the theory of lead and mercury, and you can move in. If there are masters who have achieved enlightenment and practice immortals, it is even more welcome. I will also arrange a comparison group to find 30 death row prisoners from the prison and feed them some lead powder every day. As for you, you are just living here, burning lead and mercury, and taking pills... After three months, I think at least two things can be proved. First, is whether lead is poisonous, and second, is whether the so-called pill has magical effects. What does Your Majesty think?"

"wonderful!"

Zhao Zhen gave a thumbs up, "Goodbye Jia and Goodbye Di, the experiment starts tomorrow. You select reliable personnel and urge them every day. In addition, the people in the capital can come and watch it openly and openly, so that everyone can witness it with their own eyes, so that the world can be convinced!"

After saying that, Zhao Zhen left.

Tian Fang was stunned. What else did he want to say? Wang Ning'an came over and smiled honestly at him, "Mr. Tian, ​​Shennong tastes hundreds of herbs. Since you believe in the theory of lead and mercury, you should be dedicated. If you are afraid now, you have to be punished as the crime of deceiving the king, then you will destroy the nine clans... If you unfortunately die in the experiment, you are just confused and have no intention of framed the king. Your family may still receive generous pensions. Lord Tian must think clearly about the interests!"

"you!"

Tian Fang was so angry that he was trembling. He was born as a censor and came up with Dingren. During the bronze price war, he jumped out to block Wang Deyong, which angered Zhao Zhen and almost lost his post and dismissed.

Fortunately, the gods behind him couldn't bear to have such a good dog stewed, so they tried their best to protect Tian Fang and pushed him to the high position of the Judicial Court.

Although there were six ministries in the Song Dynasty, they were actually useless like the three provinces. The Ministry of Personnel, the head of the six ministries, all had the power to the Court of Justice, and the promotion and life and death of middle and lower-level officials were all in the Court of Justice.

In the past two years, Tian Fang has been very majestic.

As the saying goes, he is short-spoken. His master gave him a death order and never allowed Zhao Zhen to move the capital!

Once the capital is moved, all the arrangements over the years will be over. How can they bear it?

Tian Fang had no other way. After thinking about it, he thought of the theory of alchemist to crack the theory of lead poisoning. He felt that the matter of gods could not be explained clearly. There were all kinds of legends throughout the ages, and Zhao Zhen could not distinguish the truth from falsehood.

As long as it is unclear, officials can rely on the number of people to force the emperor to bow their heads. This move has been tried and tested for many years!

But he didn't know that meeting Wang Ning'an was a complete fall.

At this point, can he refuse?

After a while, Tian Fang brought the bedding roll and the Taoist priests he recommended to enter ten houses together.

There were 30 repeat offenders in another yard across a wall, and from this day on, they became guinea pigs.

...

Although the people in the capital have a lot of knowledge, they have never seen such excitement. From the first day, everyone flocked to Daxiangguo Temple to see with their own eyes whether the myth that has been circulated for thousands of years is true or false!

The fat monk Foyin was so frustrated with the tickets... A month ago, the prisoners ate and drank well every day, and their lives were much more comfortable than those in the prison. They were all white and fat. Many people were talking about it in private, saying that using lead can indeed strengthen the body.

As for Tian Fang, he and a few Taoist priests had normal daily routines and refining pills. Soon, the Taoist priests also had a rosy complexion and were full of energy.

When I get up in the morning to practice boxing and practice Qi, I am not as ordinary as the immortal spirit, which makes many people want to kneel down and kowtow to call me master.

It lasted for two months.

The people in the capital were increasingly convinced of the art of immortals, and they scoffed at the toxicity of lead and mercury. Some officials even submitted a letter asking Zhao Zhen to move back to the palace immediately and not to listen to the slander of villains.

All kinds of spearheads were aimed at Wang Ning'an.

Wang Erlang was calm and composed, "I heard that someone opened a gambling plate, and there were many people who lost to me, right?"

Wang Luoxiang smiled and said, "So many! I heard that he had bet hundreds of thousands of trump cards."

"Okay, if you ask our mother to take out a million guan, you will bet your brother and you will win. When you turn back and earn money, you will be given a dowry!"

Wang Luoxiang was also tall and graceful. When he heard his brother's words, his face turned red, he stuck out his tongue and ran away.

Another half month later... Suddenly, that morning, a prisoner rushed out of the yard before dawn, hugged his head, screamed in pain, heartbreaking.

"Head, headache!"
Chapter completed!
