Alchemist is not synonymous with waste, it has always been synonymous with power and mystery.
Although there are a lot of scoldings on alchemists, such as demons, who accuse them of using evil words to confuse the public, no one would think that the alchemists are stupid people.
"I dare not lie." Han Du leaned forward slightly.
Lao Zhu naturally believed in Han Du and sat back with a happy face. Thinking that although Zhu Tan was considered smart in the past, his reputation had never been very good, and Lao Zhu couldn't say he liked his son that much.
But now he heard praise for Zhu Tan from Han Du. How could Lao Zhu be unhappy?
Lao Zhu knew very well how arrogant and arrogant Han Du was. Even when facing Zhu Biao, Han Du only had respect in his words and deeds, but no such heartfelt appreciation.
"Is this something important?"
Han Du nodded, "Yes, what King Lu can discover is very important."
With that said, Han Du told Lao Zhu the properties of white phosphorus.
I heard that white phosphorus is highly poisonous and will burn forever. Lao Zhu's reaction was different from that of Zhu Tan. Lao Zhu quite recognized the importance of white phosphorus.
Although the characteristics of white phosphorus do not seem to have any good uses, Lao Zhu's idea is that it is highly toxic. After all, since ancient times, in addition to refining various elixirs, alchemists also like to refine various poisons.
But as Han Du said, no alchemist has refined a poison as powerful as white phosphorus in thousands of years.
Lao Zhu stroked his beard with satisfaction, nodded and said, "Well, although Tan'er's move is a bit ridiculous, since he did it for exploration and has already gained something, I won't punish him."
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that it would be unreasonable not to reward Zhu Tan for discovering such an important thing. Lao Zhu said again, "It is passed down that King Jialu will live in the city with two thousand stones, grant a pair of jade Ruyi, and be granted permission to enter the palace to see Concubine Ning."
Zhu Tan has reached adulthood and according to the rules, she is no longer allowed to enter and leave the harem at will. But the rules are set by people. As long as Lao Zhu likes it, he can be allowed to see his mother and concubine at any time, and there is no problem.
Just like Zhu Biao, he can enter the palace to see Queen Ma at any time. Among Lao Zhu's princes, Zhu Tan is the second person to receive this honor.
Han Du left Lao Zhu and began to prepare for something that would make the academy famous.
...
Changchun Palace.
A palace maid hurried over and reported to the female official.
"What? Are you telling the truth?" The female officer stood up happily and asked in disbelief.
The palace maid nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yeah, the news sent by someone from Qianqing Palace is absolutely true."
"Okay, okay, I have to let your empress know about such a happy event."
The female officer murmured to herself, then ignored the palace maid and hurriedly walked towards Concubine Guo Ning.
"Mother, I am so happy."
"What happy event? Are you so happy?" Concubine Guo Ning looked like she was no more than thirty or forty years old, much younger than Lao Zhu. She was the daughter of the legendary Guo Shanfu. It is said in history that Guo Shanfu was good at meeting people. When Zhu Yuanzhang was not yet prosperous, he passed by Guo's house one day. When Guo Shanfu met him, he was surprised and said: "Young ministers are so noble." He also said to his sons Guo Xing and Guo Ying: "My prime minister, Ru Cao, you can all make marquises like this." So Guo Shanfu hurriedly followed Zhu Yuanzhang and sent his daughter to Serve Zhu Yuanzhang. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, named Guo as Concubine Ning, and ordered Concubine Guo Ning to act as agent for the affairs of the harem.
"I heard that His Royal Highness King Lu has made great achievements, and the emperor has granted His Highness King Lu the permission to enter the palace to see the empress."
"Really? That's such a great happy event." Concubine Guo Ning folded her hands on her chest and muttered thankfully.
Concubine Guo Ning only had one son, Zhu Tan, so naturally she was thinking of him. Zhu Tan was fine when she was young and could still be raised by her side. But after Zhu Tan became an adult, she had no choice but to move out of the palace.
It was difficult to see her once, so Concubine Guo Ning naturally missed Zhu Tan very much. In the past, if you wanted to meet someone, you had to ask the emperor for permission. It's settled now. If you want to see your son in the future, you just need to send someone to send a message.
For Concubine Guo Ning, this makes her happier than any other rare treasure.
Lao Zhu didn't know why, but not long after Concubine Guo Ning got the news, he came to Changchun Palace.
"I pay my respects to the Emperor." Concubine Guo Ning leaned over slightly and looked up at Lao Zhu, her eyes filled with gratitude.
"My beloved, please get up." Lao Zhu knew why Concubine Guo Ning was grateful to him, so he helped her up with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for allowing Tan'er to come to the palace to see my concubine."
Lao Zhu smiled and said, "He earned it himself."
Not only did the palace explode, the news spread. Except for the prince who had already resigned from the vassal, the other princes were also shocked. They were all surprised as to why Zhu Tan was suddenly favored.
The only exception was Zhu Biao. He was only happy for Zhu Tan and had no other thoughts. In his opinion, it is a good thing no matter how you look at it, Zhu Tan can fulfill his filial duty in front of Concubine Guo Ning.
In the academy dormitory, Zhu Zi, Zhu Chun and Zhu Bai blocked Zhu Tan in the dormitory.
"Old Shi, what have you done? How could your father give you such a generous gift?" Zhu Zi was not polite to Zhu Tan as soon as he opened his mouth, and was straight forward.
"Yes, Brother Ten, we don't want to do anything to you. We just want to find out what's going on. If there is a chance, we can also earn a chance to make meritorious deeds." Zhu Chun and Zhu Bai also nodded. go along.
Zhu Tan did not hide anything from them, and said, "Didn't we want to extract gold from human urine a few days ago? But the gold was not extracted, but another thing was made. Han Du thinks this thing is very important, Then I reported it to my father, who then issued a decree to reward us."
"Is it that simple?" Everyone thought that Zhu Tan suddenly gained the favor of his father, but they did not expect that this was the case.
"It's that simple." Zhu Tan nodded lightly.
"What did Brother Ten refine?" Zhu Chun was a little curious.
Zhu Tan shook his head slightly, "Han Du told us to keep it a secret, so don't ask."
It was kept secret, and it was rewarded by the father.
The three of them looked at each other and thought that Zhu Tan had made something extraordinary, otherwise he would not have such an honor.
Then several people thought that since doing experiments can have a chance to get rewards and favors from their father, should they also work hard?
Especially Zhu Zi, he wanted to think more, and looking at Zhu Tan made him feel a little disgusted. Thinking back to when he and Zhu Tan teamed up to defraud the academy students of their meal tickets, how seamlessly did they work together? But he didn't expect that Zhu Tan would quietly walk in front of him while exploring. Well, according to Han Du, it is the scientific spirit.
