Others looked at the two of them, a little curious, how would this develop?
"I once saw someone possessed by a god, and then put his hand into the boiling oil pan, but nothing happened!" When Zhu Cixiang said this, he emphasized again with a very serious expression, "It's true, even the skin is gone. No burns at all, if it’s not possessed by a god, how can you explain this?”
Hearing his words, Zhang Mingwei, who was a little worried at first, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Many people in later generations knew what was going on with this "getting into the frying pan" trick. Especially those who love to read online articles, it has been decrypted by countless time-travel novels. As a time-travel author, of course I know it all the more.
At this time, seeing the prince's extremely serious face, and then turning to look at Emperor Chongzhen and others, seeing that they were also very concerned, Zhang Mingwei smiled slightly and said: "I know this little trick, and I can demonstrate it to you. Look, but I’m not a god.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, can someone prepare some materials so that I can answer the prince's doubts?"
In fact, even Emperor Chongzhen himself was very curious at this time. Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, according to Zhu Cixiang's description, he couldn't imagine such a thing, so how could it be a trick? Therefore, he is also looking forward to it. So, without further ado, he immediately ordered Wang Chengen to do as he was told.
It didn't take long before everything was ready. However, they are still a little strange, why do they need to prepare vinegar when "putting the oil in the pan"? What does this mean?
Zhang Mingwei didn't explain, but just ordered Wang Chengen to pour vinegar into the pot first, then oil, and then naturally Wang Chengen started the fire.
Everyone looked at it curiously, looking at Zhang Mingwei from time to time, and then at the pot.
After a while, the liquid in the pot began to boil.
Among the people here, even Wang Chengen has never been in the kitchen. So no one noticed anything was wrong.
It was Zhang Mingwei who took the initiative and asked them: "In such a short period of time, the oil pan has boiled. Are you surprised?"
While speaking, he had already approached the oil pot, and then casually reached into the boiling and bubbling oil pot.
Seeing this scene, Princess Kunxing was so frightened that she closed her eyes, a little afraid to look.
Emperor Chongzhen and Zhu Cixiang, however, stared with their eyes wide open, unblinking.
After Zhang Mingwei reached in, he looked calm, stirred a few times casually, and washed his hands by the way, then retracted his hand and stretched it out in front of Zhu Cixiang and said: "Your Highness, would you like to take a look?"
Zhu Cixiang was really dumbfounded and couldn't believe it. He rubbed his eyes, then opened them wide again, and moved closer, almost to Zhang Mingwei's hand. He really didn't find anything wrong with Li Mingwei's hand.
He raised his head and glanced at Zhang Mingwei cautiously, then reached out and carefully touched Zhang Mingwei's hand. Finally, he turned his head and said to Emperor Chongzhen in surprise: "Father, your hand is really fine!"
Zhu Ainao heard the noise and opened her eyes. Her eyelashes flickered. She was very curious and wanted to reach out and touch it. But just as he stretched it out, he immediately remembered the defense between men and women and quickly retracted it. But the surprised expression was clearly visible on her face.
Emperor Chongzhen was in his thirties at least, and he did not lose his temper like his children. After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately confirmed: "Sir, the secret is because of jealousy?"
After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, your Majesty is wise. The key to this little trick of frying pan lies in jealousy."
When he was talking about this, he suddenly heard Wang Chengen exclaim: "Your Highness, no!"
When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he turned around and saw that Zhu Cixiang's hand had reached out to the oil pan, obviously wanting to try it himself.
But with the identity of the prince there, even if Zhang Mingwei was fine, Wang Chengen was still frightened.
In response, Zhang Mingwei just smiled slightly and said: "It should be a little hotter than what I felt just now, but it's okay, it's just a little hot."
Zhu Cixiang was even more moved after hearing this, and wanted to reach out to the frying pan again to try it. It was as if it was something fun and tempting to him. However, Emperor Chongzhen was here. In the end, he looked at his father and gestured with his eyes, obviously wanting to get permission.
Emperor Chongzhen had not yet responded. Wang Chengen, who was standing next to him, quickly inserted his hand into the oil pan and then retracted it as fast as lightning and flint.
After feeling it for a while, he reached out to the oil pan again. This time, he did not immediately shrink his hand, but kept soaking it there, and said to Emperor Chongzhen in a surprised tone: "Your Majesty, it is really not hot!"
Zhu Cixiang beside him couldn't bear it for a long time. When he heard this, he directly reached in without waiting for his father's order, felt it for a while, and then started to stir and play.
Facts speak louder than words, any possession by gods is all fake!
When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he couldn't help but admire him greatly, and said to Zhang Mingwei in a respectful tone: "Sir, your knowledge is really profound, and you have exposed these deceptions at once!"
When he said this, he suddenly came back to his senses. This means that the death of his fifth son that year was probably not caused by the manifestation of Empress Dowager Xiaoding at all, but by collusion inside and outside the palace to harm his son.
When he thought of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but become extremely angry. This definitely offended his negative instinct.
At this time, Zhu Cixiang seemed to have had enough, so he retracted his hand and asked Zhang Mingwei very curiously: "Why is it that after adding the vinegar first, the oil pan boils but is not hot at all?"
Hearing the question, Zhang Mingwei turned to look at him and explained with a smile: "This is because the boiling point of vinegar is low. If it is slightly hot, the vinegar will boil. The oil pan you see boiling is not actually the oil boiling. It’s just vinegar boiling.”
At this point, he paused and added: "This is a branch of science and technology knowledge, physics knowledge, very basic content. It also includes the fact that some white papers will suddenly reveal writing, grimaces, blood stains, etc. They are all similar and have nothing to do with gods or ghosts."
Although he spoke lightly, to Zhu Cixiang and others, they felt that he was very knowledgeable, and their admiration for him immediately deepened.
After such an episode, Zhang Mingwei turned to look at the stern-faced Emperor Chongzhen and suggested to him: "Your Majesty, I think the most important step right now is to rectify the inner palace and ensure the safety of Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and others. Then we can look for Those corrupt officials and unscrupulous people are doing this so they can get money and food as quickly as possible. This is a short-term approach!"
Emperor Chongzhen looked very serious, nodded and said: "What you said is absolutely true. It is imperative to rectify the palace!"
If it is not straightened out, even he may be unsafe, which he cannot accept in any case. Moreover, someone outside the palace murdered his son, probably those nobles, which made him no longer have the slightest resistance to taking action against the nobles!
However, every emperor does not want collusion between the palace and outside, but in the end most of them do. The so-called rectification of the palace is easy to say, but very difficult to do.
When Emperor Chongzhen said this, Zhang Mingwei smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is difficult for others. But your Majesty, don't forget that I come from the later generations and can make final conclusions. How can I know who is loyal to your Majesty?" , who only cares about self-interest, this way, things will be much simpler."
Previous documentaries were not very detailed, so Zhang Mingwei still had the final say on these matters.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately turned his head and glanced at Wang Chengen, then bowed to Zhang Mingwei and said sincerely: "Sir, please give me some advice!"
At this time, several people on the side knew the seriousness of the matter, returned to reality from the "oil pot" trick, and all listened with serious faces.
Wang Chengen, in particular, was even more excited. He knew that the words of the person in front of him could determine the life and death of the people in the palace and change the situation in the palace.
Just listen to Zhang Mingwei's answer to Emperor Chongzhen: "According to historical records, the person in the palace who is most loyal to His Majesty and will never leave him is Wang Cheng'en."
Hearing this, Wang Chengen was immediately elated and wanted to rush up to hug Zhang Mingwei and kiss him properly.
"I already know this, is there anything else?" Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Wang Chengen, and then immediately asked again.
"There is also a man named Fang Zhenghua who died fighting for the Ming Dynasty. He should also be loyal to His Majesty." Zhang Mingwei replied without hesitation, "In addition, it is clearly recorded in the history books that Du Xun, Wang Zhixin and Wang Dehua were the ones who welcomed the thieves, and even Encourage Li Zicheng to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor! The rest are not very famous, at least they are not recorded in the history books I checked."
Emperor Chongzhen's biggest difficulty was not knowing who to trust and who not to trust. Now that there is a clear conclusion, there is no need for Zhang Mingwei to explain the rest.
After a moment of silence, Emperor Chongzhen asked for advice again: "What Mr. just said, the money and food obtained by confiscating the house is for short-term emergency, so what about the long-term? And what is the best way to solve the current predicament? Externally? Who should I use in the court? I just feel that there are too many problems, and I would like to ask you, sir, to answer them for me one by one!"
