"What's going on?" "Who is this?" The voice alarmed everyone on the cabin. Under the light of torches and candles, everyone looked at the female corpse on the ground in surprise. Ye Chang leaned over and wiped Mrs. Chen's eyes wide open with hatred, feeling a little sad. "After all, this was a person who had met once before. We were very happy with each other at the beginning, but now he died under his own sword, which is very regrettable. Regrets are regrets, but Ye Chang definitely has no regrets. Mrs. Chen's purpose of coming is obvious. She was favored by Li Yong, so she came to assassinate her. The two people's positions are already hostile, and it was Mrs. Chen's choice. "In this case, it is a life-and-death fight, and there is no room for mercy. "Female assassin?" Nan Jiyun, who rushed over, was the first to react: "How did she get in?" "She is Gongsun's female disciple. Her agility is beyond the reach of others. It is normal for her to get in." Ye Chang Standing up: "It's just that she still doesn't know me, and she lied that she was a female prostitute arranged by the housekeeper She is really confused." Everyone was silent, Shanzhi also recognized Mrs. Chen, and Heshen recited Amitabha several times. "This debt must be settled on Li Yong" Ye Chang sighed again. "Eleventh Lang, what should I do with this body?" "She is a hero among women. Since she has never caused any harm to me, she should give her a good burial." Ye Chang said. The smell of blood in the cabin was so sad that he couldn't sleep for a while, so he went up to the deck while asking others to clean up the corpses and blood stains. As the sea breeze blew, he looked westward. Over there was Chang'an. I don¡¯t know if my letter has been delivered to Chang¡¯an. Chang'an City, Xingqing Palace. "Have you discussed the charter for the reconciliation between the Khitan and the Xi tribe?" Li Longji said casually, "This now has a candidate." Li Linfu paused when he mentioned this matter. "Oh, who is it?" "One is Dugu, the daughter of Princess Xincheng, and the other is Doulu, the daughter of Princess Wei." Upon hearing this response, Li Longji frowned slightly: "They" His children There are many, Princess Wei is his thirteenth daughter, and Princess Xincheng is his fifteenth. Princess Wei married Doulu Jian, while Princess Xincheng married Dugu Ming. "If we talk about girls of the right age, these two are definitely not the only ones, but Li Linfu has his own reasons for being singled out. What Princess Weiguo and Princess Xincheng have in common now is that they humiliated the three sisters of the Yang family during the conflict in Xiangxuehai. Afterwards, Li Longji was furious, seized the dowries of the two princesses, and dismissed the two consorts from their official positions. In the political arena, this is a very clear signal: the two princesses have lost power. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Naturally, few people can try to figure out the meaning and add insult to injury. Although Li Linfu did not need to do this, he would not stop it, so when the two names were reported, he agreed without hesitation and reported it to Li Longji. These two young girls are Li Longji's direct granddaughters, but the Tian family is ruthless. Li Longji has emerged from the bloody storm and raised a butcher's knife against his prince a few years ago. Naturally, he will not let go of his mere granddaughter. in my heart. "Is this what you mean, Aiqing, or" Li Longji asked. "This is the result of public discussion among many ministers, and I have no objection to this." Li Linfu replied slowly: "I feel that this is a family matter of the emperor, and it should be decided by the emperor." Thinking of the humiliation of the Yang sisters, especially when he pursued it After taking away the dowries of the two princesses, they did not realize the warning and ran to him crying, but refused to apologize to the Yang family. Li Longji nodded and said: "That's it I'm a little tired. , I¡¯ll leave this matter to you, well, it¡¯s the blood of the Tian family after all, don¡¯t be too shabby.¡± ¡°I obey the order.¡± Li Linfu did not leave immediately, but hesitated for a moment. "Why, what else can I do?" "I received a secret report today that Li Yong, the governor of Beihai, is embezzling. I" "Okay, okay, there are laws of the Tang Dynasty, so just act according to them." Li Longji no longer wanted to listen. Li Linfu continued, and he waved his hand impatiently: "This Li Yong really didn't learn his lesson. Kong Zhang's death for him really was in vain." When Li Linfu came up with this matter at this time, it was Li Longji who was waiting for him. Hearing this, he was very happy in his heart, but his face remained calm. He said respectfully, and then left. Back home, I was thinking about who should be sent to Beihai. Ji Wen was impossible. Ji Wen was responsible for the incident, and Ji Wen must be used to send him there. And Huo Xianqi cannot be used now, so he should be sent from the imperial family. Shitai sent people. "Well then Luo Xibing" He made up his mind, and suddenly heard the sound of rings outside. Then, his daughter Li Tengkong appeared at the door. "Why is Kong Niang free at this time?" Li Linfu said with a smile: "Aren't you going to make elixirs?" Li Tengkong powderThe cheeks are slightly red, and the words of alchemy are related to Ye Chang. A few days ago, Ye Chang sent another book, saying that it talked about the way of alchemy. It proposed that the so-called alchemy is an act of overcoming the creation of heaven and earth, and it must be done according to the nature of things. For example, water and iron can be Turn into rust, wood and fire can turn into smoke - it is necessary to summarize the laws of these changes before we can find out the true method of refining the golden elixir. Actually, to put it bluntly, Ye Chang asked to do more chemical experiments and summarize their rules. If Ye Changruo throws out the periodic table of hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium and boron at this time, it will definitely be regarded as a lie. However, if chemical experiments, that is, alchemy, are standardized, no one will object. After all, this is the era when alchemy is very popular. . After getting the book, Li Tengkong did some simple experiments. The most important one of these experiments was to prove that fuel requires a colorless and odorless gas. Ye Chang called it "oxygen", and because The story of animals suffocating to death in a house after burning coal suggests that animals need to inhale this "oxygen" to survive and breathe. In Ye Chang's own words, "Oxygen nourishes, and the heaven and earth generate this gas to nourish things, hence the name." "This article caused a lot of sensation. At least those wealthy people and Taoist alchemists in Chang'an City who were interested in alchemy almost all conducted the same experiment. The more tests were conducted, the more Ye Chang's deduction was proved correct. Suddenly, everyone in Chang'an City who had an alchemy furnace began to open the furnace to refine elixirs. "Aye, my daughter has something to ask." "Well, tell me." "I heard that An Lushan wants to marry Xi and Khitan?" "What's the matter? You, a harem girl, have heard about it. Is this happening?" Li Linfu didn't take it seriously at first, but then he frowned and had a bad feeling. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In previous marriages between Tang princesses, there were actually very few people who were related by blood to the emperor. Most of them were from side branches of the clan, and it was even possible that the daughter of a criminal official served as the princess. He, Li Linfu, was a branch of the clan and a high-ranking official. This time, those who flattered Yang Yuhuan wanted to make trouble for the two princesses Xincheng and Weiguo. Li Linfu did not object, but he was also worried about picking on the clan's maiden to blame his own daughter. Marrying away from a distant land, there is no chance of returning home from now on. Parting between life and death is nothing more than that. "Not only did I hear about this, but I also knew that someone in my boudoir was spreading rumors about Ye Shiyi's border policy. They only said that the court was incompetent and the governor was useless. Therefore, he wanted to use a weak woman to marry Ningbian. It was not as good as Ye Shi A profound insight. If someone else had said this, Li Linfu would have been furious and would have been jealous of Ye Chang. But when these words came out of Li Tengkong's mouth, especially her worried look, Li Linfu had no choice but to go. Thinking more deeply, he is very familiar with Ye Chang¡¯s side policies, but the person who spreads them is definitely not Ye Chang himself. ¡°What else? "Li Linfu asked again. "There are no othersbut, Aye, will you blame Ye Chang? "Haha, what the hell, why do I blame that kid?" Li Linfu laughed: "Kong Niang, just don't worry. If Ye Chang, a junior like me, can make my precious daughter happy, I won't be able to appreciate or promote him, let alone blame him." Li Tengkong's pink cheeks suddenly flowed with color, and his whole body She was so embarrassed that she turned around and ran away. When Li Linfu saw her daughter showing off her childlike attitude, Li Linfu's smile became even bigger, but after Li Tengkong ran out, his expression suddenly calmed down. He is careless. After leaving Chang'an City, the legacy is still there. "If my daughter hadn't mentioned this, I wouldn't have known about it Although it is only spreading among the boudoirs in Chang'an City, if the power of these boudoir women is ignored, , that would be a big mistake, and it might really cause big trouble." "The matter of choosing a princess to marry the Khitan and the Xiren Khan in the Northeast has been discussed before the Chinese New Year, and the person who proposed this proposal was the newly appointed Li Linfu snorted coldly when he thought of Anlu Mountain in the two towns. He had a different heart and was honest on the outside. In fact, he was full of treachery. Last time he returned to Anlu Mountain and returned to Chang'an, he treated Li Linfu badly. To be polite, Li Linfu didn't care about it on the surface, but in fact, he was hiding in his heart. However, the main opponent in front of him was Li Shizhi who promoted An Lushan, so he didn't care about this little shrimp for the time being. In the eyes of Li Linfu, An Lushan was just a little shrimp. "If he wanted to get married, An Lushan himself had to go back to Chang'an. Now, I don¡¯t know who is spreading Ye Chang¡¯s side policy in the boudoir of Chang¡¯an. We must find out as soon as possible. We can¡¯t¡± Li Linfu wants to find out the person who spreads Ye Chang¡¯s side policy, but this matter cannot be done overnight. They are all powerful people. It's hard to send someone like Ji Wenhuo Xianqi to interrogate and train a young lady in the family. Before he could figure out who was behind it, something went wrong. The news of the marriage has spread, and although the decree has not yet been issued, it has still spread to the well-informed people in Chang'an City. Although Princess Xincheng and Princess Wei are not happy with the emperor, they are still princesses after all."What, the two princesses knelt outside the palace gate and begged His Majesty to change his mind? They also said that the daughter should be chosen as the head of the family of the minister, not their daughter?" "Damn it" This news made Li Linfu furious. It also made Li Longji angry. However, Ye Chang still knows nothing about the turmoil in Chang'an City for the time being. He is still on his ship, living a solitary life. Mrs. Chen's assassination made him more cautious, even skipping out for a run in the morning. He joked to himself that he was almost in jail. By the third day of April, Yuan Gongdao was full of joy and finally boarded Ye Chang's ship wearing official robes. "Eleventh Lang" "Looking at Yuan Gong's appearance, it seems that the matter has been settled?" "As Eleventh Lang said, the imperial envoy has arrived and selected a certain person to be the Sima of Dengzhou - Eleventh Lang, would you like to accompany him? Shall I go to Beihai together?" Ye Chang's heart moved slightly: "Is there any news from Beihai?" "There is news. The imperial court sent Qi Shunzhi, a member of the Criminal Department, and Luo Xibing, the supervisory censor, to our county now. "What the imperial envoy said must be true." Ye Chang hesitated for a moment. He and Li Yong had no grudges in the past. They even had a little connection with each other because of the relationship between He Zhizhang, Han Chaozong and others. In addition, They were all on good terms with Li Bai and Du Fu. If Li Yong hadn't provoked him, he wouldn't have done this. "Going to fight a drowned dog this morning is a bit boring, right?" "Eleventh Lang, this was not invited by me, it was just what Luo Xibing said. In my opinion, Luo Xibing probably wants to kill Eleventh Lang. There is a favor in front of me. I think this person has a stubborn temper and will definitely take revenge if he doesn't accept his kindness. "Although Ye Chang was unwilling in his heart, he also knew that this Luo Xibing was. Like Ji Wen and Huo Xianqi, they are all masters of weaving crimes. Such people are easy to offend. "Moreover, behind Luo Xibing is Li Linfu. Obviously, Jiwen will definitely report his matter to Li Linfu. What Luo Xibing said may be Li Linfu's instruction. "Okay then" Li Yong has not thought about food and tea these days, and he is no longer as charming as usual. Mrs. Chen never returned, and no news has been received so far, which made Li Yong realize that the assassination attempt might have failed. What he is most worried about is that Mrs. Chen falls into the hands of Ye Chang and is sent to Chang'an as evidence of crime by Ye Chang. If this is true, his end will be very ugly. Therefore, he did not relax his surveillance of Ye Chang these days, but he found that Ye Chang rarely got off the ship and never sent anyone to leave, which made him feel more at ease. But today, Ye Chang moved. "You mean, Yuan Gongdao put on his official robe and went to the boat to meet Ye Chang, and then both of them left the ship and started heading towards the North Sea?" "Reporting to the prefect, that's exactly what happened" "Yuan Gongdao is so brave" Li Yong was furious at first. It was not that he didn't know that Yuan Gongdao was secretly going back and forth with Ye Chang, but by visiting him openly and openly today, he clearly did not take the prohibition of him, the prefect, into consideration. Immediately he was shocked: Why did Yuan Gongdao dare not take him into consideration? "But since Ye Chang has come to Beihai, we can't let him go Come here, arrange swords, axes and archers, I will be useful." Despite all the arrangements, Li Yong was still a little uneasy until Ye Chang and his party entered Beihai on Yuan Road. City, he finally calmed down a little: when he got here, he was in his territory. Then there was an envoy sent by Yuan Highway to report that he was asking for an audience. Li Yong summoned the sword and ax archers and said with a sneer: "Misfortunes and misfortunes come to you, so don't blame me It's just right, it's just right, it's okay." Mrs. Chen failed to succeed. A dead Ye Chang is not as good as a living Ye Shiyi. Under such circumstances, he still tried to capture Ye Chang alive and forced out the secrets of soju, movable type, etc. from his mouth. Although he is not good at production, he knows very well that as long as he obtains these few secrets, let alone making up for the shortfall, even if he is rich enough to rival the country, it will not be a dream.
