During the play, only a few women were seen hiding and walking happily.

However, even if Yang Fan was blindfolded, he still quickly caught the cute little Helan Minyue.

Holding Helan Minyue with one hand, Yang Fan said proudly: "Am I good, right? When it comes to playing games, I am the second in the entire Tang Dynasty, so no one dares to be the first. I can catch you even if I am blindfolded. .”

The little cute baby giggled and praised: "Daddy is the best!"

Yang Fan laughed: "Everyone, hurry up and hide. I just caught the little chicken, now I want to catch the big one..."

Seeing the people having a great time, His Majesty Li Er quickly coughed a few times to signal his arrival.

More importantly, this harmonious atmosphere and contented scene made His Majesty Li Er jealous!

His Majesty Li Er curled his lips, obviously not in a good mood!

This boy is his son-in-law, and now he is flirting with other women. What's going on?

I am afraid that any father-in-law would not be too happy to see such a scene.

What's more, he is the emperor, the most powerful person in the Tang Dynasty, and his daughter is also a wealthy person. He can't stand Yang Fan's behavior.

However, His Majesty Li Er did not dare to get angry because he still had something to ask this guy for advice today.

Li Junxian always paid attention to His Majesty Li Er's expression. When he saw the emperor's dark clouds, he was suddenly startled. He could only pray silently: Brother, you'd better ask for more blessings.

Although His Majesty Li Er did not tuck his sleeves and leave, he still waved to Yang Fan displeasedly: "Come here!"

In fact, Yang Fan and the girls had already noticed that someone was watching.

However, seeing that he didn't bother him, he thought he was a merchant who had received the invitation, so he didn't pay much attention and just played his own game.

Yang Fan was naturally a little unhappy at being disturbed at this time. He raised his head in confusion, wondering who these people were, how rude they were!

"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"

Do you think you are calling me a cat or a dog? Just let me pass by?

But when I looked up, I saw something familiar!

Well, it turns out that the emperor is here in person. Isn't this guy offering sacrifices? Why does he have time to come here?

Without thinking so much, Yang Fan trotted over and shouted: "Wei Chen has seen your Majesty..."

The girls Wu Shun were a little dumbfounded. Is this the emperor?

Doesn't this guy often come to the house for food?

Moreover, the emperor stayed in the palace compound all day long and had to hide in Tibet whenever he wanted to come out. How could this person have time to come here so often?

The two little girls, Xing'er and Wan'er, were stunned.

I didn’t expect that the person who often came to my house before would be the emperor.

When His Majesty Li Er saw Yang Fan laughing and joking, he became increasingly unhappy and shouted: "Are you very free? You still have time to play games?"

Yang Fan put down He Lan Minyue, ran to the emperor cautiously, and asked with a shy face: "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Seeing that there were Li Junxian, Li Chunfeng and the old eunuch behind him, his face suddenly became solemn, he glared at several people and angrily shouted: "Your Majesty's safety is a very important matter, how can you allow your Majesty to run around casually? General Li is going to review." , do you know what the consequences will be if something happens? I will report it to the Yushitai."

Li Junxian touched his nose, dumbfounded. This brother was so bold that even His Majesty dared to ridicule him.

On the other side, His Majesty Li Er had a dark face and said angrily: "Shut up, you kid!"

Yang Fan lowered his eyebrows and said submissively: "I obey the order."

His Majesty Li Er was immediately furious!

This bastard Yang Fan is probably afraid that he will blame him, so he dares to talk about this. It is simply unreasonable!

"I gave you thousands of guards, but you acted as a hands-off shopkeeper and played alone at home. It's just nonsense. If the bet loses, can you afford it?"

"Wei Chen is guilty!" Yang Fan was scolded by His Majesty Li Er in person, but he did not panic at all and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen went home to prepare supplies for the rain. If you think Wei Chen has neglected his duty, he will be exempted directly. Wei Chen is just...Besides, isn't the rain... falling?"

The meaning is obvious, you are the emperor, you are great, if you scold me again, I will stop!

If anyone has the ability, let him take charge and see if it can rain...

Li Junxian and Li Chunfeng smiled at each other and remained silent, but they were filled with admiration in their hearts.

This Yang Fan is really a freak. He even dares to threaten His Majesty. I really don’t know how to write the word “death”!

His Majesty Li Er was furious, but before it broke out, Yang Fan had already said with a smile: "Your Majesty, praying for rain went so smoothly today. It seems that God is still on our side, don't you think so?"

His Majesty Li Er also knew that he could not use Yang Fan's hammer, so he could only follow his words and said: "Do you think it will continue to rain?"

Yang Fan nodded seriously: "Because of sincerity, gold and stone are the same. Your Majesty prays for rain for the people. Of course God will be moved to tears!"

After hearing Yang Fan's words, His Majesty Li Er chin slightly, finally put his heart back in his stomach, glared at Yang Fan fiercely, and said, "I hope you won't disappoint me."

Yang Fan chuckled: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as there are clouds, you can rain as much as you want. It will stop when you call it, and it will rain when you call it. Just treat God as one of your own!"

"Haha, in order to celebrate, Zhuangzi just slaughtered a cow last morning. The good beef was cut into thin slices and supplemented with strong wine. It is the first-class delicacy in the world. Your Majesty has a good taste, just in time for the good time."

His Majesty Li Er snorted coldly and glanced sideways at Yang Fan.

This bastard is really hateful. He will give up his job after scolding you for a few words. If he doesn't cause trouble for you, he will treat you with fine wine and delicious food. It's too realistic!

If you don't learn well at a young age, why are you so cunning?

Yang Fan stopped teasing His Majesty Li Er, picked up Helan Minyue and led everyone towards the main hall.

When passing the main entrance, I saw more than a dozen luxuriously decorated carriages parked, blocking the way.

His Majesty Li Er said sarcastically: "It's very lively, what tricks do you want to play?"

Yang Fan held his tongue and didn't say anything, thinking, this emperor is too narrow-minded, how can he be as broad-minded as historical records?

However, he turned around and led Li Er to the Accord in the side courtyard.

Li Er's status is too noble. Once he appears in public, it will inevitably cause a fuss, which is a bit bad.

Arriving at the private room in the side courtyard, Yang Fan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please sit down for now!"

His Majesty Li Er sat down angrily. Li Junxian looked around and saw nothing suspicious, so he went out to guard the door.

Wu Shun and the girls had already left. Yang Fan walked out of the door, grabbed a servant and gave some instructions before entering the Accord.

After entering the room, I found His Majesty Li Er sitting unceremoniously in the main seat, with Li Chunfeng at the bottom and the old eunuch Wang Huangui standing behind him.

His Majesty Li Er got straight to the point: "Do you know why I'm looking for you today?"

Yang Fan rolled his eyes. What's so hard to guess? He just wanted to ask about matters related to today's rain.

However, he still asked very cooperatively: "I am stupid, your majesty, please make it clear?"

His Majesty Li Er secretly despises you, you are stupid, then there will be no smart people in the world!

Then he raised his eyes at Li Chunfeng.

Li Dashun was not polite. After giving a salute, he asked: "Marquis Zhongyi, although there are clouds gathering today, the gathering of clouds is a sign of rain! But the wind speed is really strong, and it directly blows away the clouds. !”

"If Pindao's conjecture is correct, although there are clouds gathering today, it is not enough to rain. If the wind stops, it may rain, but it will rain even if the wind stops. Have you used silver iodide to make the clouds clear?" Turned into rain? Why does silver iodide make clouds turn into rain?"

Li Chunfeng was like a curious baby, wanting to find out.

After all, Li Chunfeng is really not a magician who knows nothing.

As the best astrologer in the Tang Dynasty, he was not only able to formulate calendars by observing stars, but was also good at predicting the weather based on changes in star clouds.

The inference that there were clouds gathering but no rain had been made as early as half a month ago.

This southeasterly wind brings a large number of clouds, causing the clouds to condense, but it is also this southeasterly wind that will blow away the gathered dark clouds.

Success comes with the wind and failure comes with the wind. Doesn’t this mean that God’s will is unpredictable?

But Yang Fan turned the impossible into possible, which was simply a magical method.

Although Yang Fan used silver iodide, it is a pity that people in the world are like this, always thinking that unknown things are high-end!

Yang Fan didn't take it seriously, and asked Li Chunfeng a question with a smile: "Daozhang Li, why do you think it rains so easily in Yunju? Then where does the rain come from?"

From Yang Fan's point of view, this question obviously did not trouble Li Chunfeng, but his answer made Yang Fan completely numb!

"When clouds gather, it rains, and when clouds disperse, it's sunny. This is the ultimate principle of heaven and earth. What's more, if it doesn't rain, it's because of the blessing of the Taoist ancestors. It's because the Dragon King feels the suffering of the people and the sky rains nectar. How can Zhongyi Hou not know such a simple principle?"

Li Chunfeng acted like a great Confucian lecturer and directly despised Yang Fan.

Yang Fan's eyes widened and he was speechless.

Well, the answer was very good and strong, making him irrefutable.

What did he say?

Could it be that telling them that immortals and gods are actually ethereal and ethereal things, is there something wrong with your superstitious thinking?

I'm afraid that if you say this, Li Er will be regarded as a monster in a minute. If you are not a monster, how can you destroy the immortals?

So Yang Fan thought that we should educate these old antiques about the process of rain formation.

After all, Li Chunfeng, the magic stick, is probably the most receptive person in the entire Tang Dynasty to the science of studying things, because he is wise enough!

And His Majesty Li Er is also a relatively enlightened emperor.

After thinking for a while, Yang Fan told a story.

"When I was a child, I discovered a very strange thing. It was very hot in summer, and the water in the house would decrease if it was not used. If it is exposed to the sun outside, the water in the basin will become much shallower, and in the end there will not even be any... Tell me, where did this water go?

His Majesty Li Er's face was full of doubts, asking, "Are you stupid?"

Li Chunfeng was also full of contempt, but he still talked about it:

"Who doesn't know such a simple truth? Naturally, it evaporates after being exposed to the sun. Let alone a small basin. If there is no rain for a long time, even the rivers will dry up. This is because the water evaporates due to exposure to the sun. .”

Yang Fan turned a blind eye to his contempt and continued to ask: "So, where did all this water go?"

This time it was Li Chunfeng's turn to be stunned and said subconsciously: "Of course he was taken away by God!"

Yang Fan chuckled and looked up at the sky: "Even if God took it away, let me ask you again, how does it release the rain? Then why does it rain only when there are clouds?"

"It rains when there are clouds? Hiss!" Li Chunfeng's face was dull and he took a breath of cold air: "You don't mean to say that there is no Dragon King at all. The reason why there is rain is because the clouds contain rain, and the clouds are those Water evaporated by exposure to the sun?”

Soon, this idea immediately emerged in Li Chunfeng's mind.

As the most outstanding mathematician in the world, he is also the most outstanding astronomer in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, he is also the most powerful metaphysician and Taoist leader.

He has been indoctrinated in Taoist theory since he was a child and is well versed in the Taoist theory of heaven.

In his view, all matter in the entire world is nothing more than the combination of Yin, Yang and Five Elements.

As the saying goes, yin and yang create all things!

So, the rain comes from the clouds, not from the gods!

If it were in the past, Li Chunfeng would naturally strongly refute Yang Fan's nonsense.

But now, Li Chunfeng suddenly found a more suitable explanation for the origin of the rain.

Even the Yin-Yang theory can be used to explain it.

Water is yin. Water is evaporated by the sun, then disperses in the sky, and then condenses into clouds. Then the clouds gather more and more, turning into rain and falling to the ground. This process repeats itself.

The whole process is exactly the alternation of yin and yang, the eternal cycle of heaven and earth.

The more Li Chunfeng thought about it, the more logical it became.

This also makes sense. Yang Fan can use silver iodide to turn clouds into rain. Obviously, silver iodide plays a catalytic role.

While His Majesty Li Er's outlook on life was completely overturned, it also made his mind suddenly light up!

As Yang Fan said, as long as there are clouds, you can use silver iodide to turn them into rain and moisten everything.

Is Datang still afraid of drought?

At least, you no longer need to be afraid of ordinary droughts.

Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er patted his thigh excitedly and praised: "You are indeed a little clever, you can understand the basics of things even though they are subtle. Not bad..."

Changing the topic, His Majesty Li Er asked again: "The southeast wind has been blowing non-stop these days, so there will naturally be no shortage of clouds. Then the drought in Guanzhong will be solved. Can you tell me how to deal with those aristocratic families who are always against me. "

Yang Fan said categorically: "I only want to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!"

His Majesty Li Er did not reply immediately. He looked up at the increasingly dense raindrops. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face: "Those restless guys dare to force me, so don't blame me for being ruthless. Were they already frightened out of their wits?"

"Hmph, let's see if those guys can still be as united as before in the face of death. Mr. Cui of Qinghe, do you really think I can knead you at will?"

"Come here, escort the entire Cui family of Qinghe to Beijing for slandering the emperor and spreading rumors to cause trouble. As for other family members, we will not pursue them for the time being!"

"No!" Li Junxian knelt on the ground, a little nervous. He didn't expect that His Majesty Li Er would dare to operate on Cui of Qinghe.

Yang Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His Majesty Li Er planned to use the Cui family of Qinghe to scare the monkeys, but he spared those complicit aristocratic families.

It's good to kill him as a warning to others. I think those greedy aristocratic families will be able to understand the current situation and will not dare to take any action in the short term.

Although Yang Fan was not a soft-hearted person, he was not interested in causing chaos and destroying the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty because of himself.

However, in feudal society, the power of the king was supreme, and the emperor could decide the life and death of a clan with just a word.

His Majesty Li Er did not commit any serious crime against the Cui family of Qinghe to annihilate the nine tribes, but just looking at this battle, it is not small.

After all, a giant like the Cui family in Qinghe could support a family of at least a thousand people.

When all these people are escorted to Beijing, the massacre will continue for several miles and the massacre will be horrific.

After all, who knows how many old, weak and innocent three people are inside.

Of course, if you dare to challenge His Majesty Li Er's authority, you must be prepared to pay the price.

Cui's ending was actually doomed the moment it rained heavily.

Yang Fan's answer only made His Majesty Li Er more determined about what he was thinking.
