The ancients were very interesting and ignorant. Yang Tong often came into contact with Taoist priests in the palace these days and heard a lot of unheard things. For example, the saddle was worn out and the horse was covered with mud on the axle and it could be cured. For example, the chicken gave birth to a plague and chopped the pork and fed it to it... These have surprised Lao Yang. Unexpectedly, there is a way for doctors to die with white bones! What should I do if a dog dies? Use sunburn roots to plug the nostrils, and it will be resurrected, resurrected, and alive...

Yang Tong sat there and saw the Taoist priest being serious and couldn't help interrupting. He still held his hand on his shoulder and asked, "Can that person be resurrected by this method when he died?" He almost laughed out loud when he couldn't hold it out.

The Taoist priest didn't care at all and responded: "Man is the spirit of all things. He should not easily test life and death, and he will be punished by God."

The little girl put her hands together and kept blaming herself at the old Taoist: "I'm sorry, Taoist priest." The old Taoist did not remind the little girl that she put her hands together was not their etiquette, and nodded one-sidedly and said, "The Emperor Wuliang Tianzun."

Duan Niang would appear at Tongzhen Xuantan where Yang Tong sat with Taoist priests to discuss the Tao. The main reason was that Empress Dowager Liu gave the death order. She informed Yang Tong first of all the way to the decree that the girl must get pregnant as soon as possible, and then drove her from the bedroom to Lao Yang. In this way, the girl had no place to go, and then she began to take a bath, bathe, and incense at dusk, as if she was looking forward to it every day. But Yang Tong had no idea now. Luoyang City had not been completely in her hands, and he would not be at peace for a moment.

"Your Majesty, the stone gall oil is ready."

The Taoist priest gave Yang Tong a look, as if asking again, "Can you tell me the serious matter if this girl is in the situation?" Lao Yang nodded and told him the secret between the two.

Sure enough, the little girl's curiosity was affected and she asked, "Your Majesty, what is stone gall oil?"

Before Yang Tong could explain, the old Taoist took the lead and said, "Empress, when the Three Kingdoms arrived in Jin Dynasty, my Taoist ancestor Hu Gangzi changed the roasting method to the closed tribute extraction method, and refined it by burning stone gallbladder to obtain stone gallbladder oil. He is the most famous outer pill Huangbai Master in the Taoist sect..."

Mercury? Mercury? Outer Pill Huangbai Master?

Duan Niang blushed. Before entering the palace, she heard that the emperors were all obsessed with immortality and took pills, but His Majesty is not yet at the age of worrying about life and death. Could it be that this is... She blushed and said, "I'm talking nonsense." Then she slowly withdrew from Tongzhen Xuantan. At first, Yang Tong hadn't reacted, but when she recalled the little girl's appearance, she wanted to reach out to stop her, and explained: "I have no health problems!", she could not see her figure. Isn't this a misunderstanding!

The stone gall oil that Yang Tong asked Taoist priests to refine was actually concentrated sulfuric acid. It was recorded in "Hardware Powder Diagram". Lao Yang didn't know whether this fox Gangzi made some achievements in Taoism, but since he started to learn chemical theory, he knew that Chinese chemistry originated from Taoism, and the biggest chemist in Taoism was this fox Gangzi. If there was a Nobel Prize in Chemistry at this time, I would probably not be able to praise his exploration in the field of chemistry. Stone gall was also called gall alum in later generations. The process of refining gall alum into stone gall alum oil was to extract concentrated sulfuric acid. Because this extraction process was toxic and needed to isolate it with lead plates to inhibit toxic leakage, Taoism happened to be a master of refining lead, mercury, and mercury, so he pretended to others.

As for why sulfuric acid is needed, it is because Yang Tong already has potassium nitrate, and with sulfuric acid and nitroglycerin, Lao Yang can directly cross an era of nearly a thousand years, directly crossing gunpowder from the black gunpowder era to the yellow gunpowder era. Of course, many experimental processes are required to be automatically performed. Sulfuric acid is not just used as gunpowder, but that is all a story. What you need most now is sulfuric acid.

"Master, how much stone gall oil does it have at present?"

"Sixteen urns!"

At the moment when he was thinking about whether he could start the experiment, a eunuch rushed to Tongzhen Xuantan in a hurry, saying as if he was racing with someone: "Qi, Qibing... Oh, Your Majesty, Shangshu Pei said that if there is an urgent matter, you should see him immediately."

Bae In-ki?

He just fought a beautiful battle in the court yesterday. I was so anxious now that he saw him. Could it be that something happened?

Before he could shout the word "Xuan", Pei Renji rushed over. He couldn't even wait to listen to Xuan and care about etiquette. When he entered Tongzhen Xuantan, he first glanced at the old Taoist. When he saw that this person was someone he sent to communicate with the emperor, he stopped paying attention and said, "Your Majesty, it's not good!"

"A great victory in Hulao Pass, Wang Shichong defeated Dou Jiande, and killed more than 10,000 enemies and repelled him."

Yang Tong stood up and wanted to make sure: "Dou Jiande was defeated so quickly?!"

"Defeated." Pei Renji continued: "Hebei is not rich, and it is difficult to connect food and grass. Wang Shichong defended in Hulao until Dou Jiande was exhausted, forcing the Xia army to fight the Great Sui army in front of Hulao Pass. With Xiong Pass blocking the road, the Xia army could not attack the city at all. In addition, after Hulao Pass, the Sui army's families were all brave enough, and Dou Jiande couldn't stand it."

"So Wang Shichong will be back soon." Yang Tong looked at the empty place outside Tongzhen Xuantan, thinking about something.

"Wang Shichong rewarded the three armies last night and said that he would return to the court after three days of rest."

Yang Tong asked in thought: "Shangshu Pei, how do you think you should deal with this?"

Pei Renji knelt down on the spot: "Your Majesty, I think you must not let Wang Shichong enter Luoyang." In the court, he was an old fox with many tricks. At a critical moment, he didn't care about so much and directly said what he was thinking in his heart: "That ambition is unstable. If Wang Shichong returns, he will definitely abandon his wife and children and turn against him. I then tried every means to make my son cheat the tiger talisman. Now the tiger talisman is in hand, and my son's five hundred verses are spread throughout the key points of the prison gate palace. Your Majesty now has completely controlled 20,000 scattered, and you can fight."

"But, Wang Shiyun and Wang Xuanying still have one Bing Yuanzhen in his hands. Bing Yuanzhen's 50,000 troops are still in charge of the city defense, and 20,000 to deal with 50,000. This battle is not easy to fight."

"snort."

Yang Tong snorted coldly and said, "Wang Shichong is trying to force me to fight to the decisive battle."

"Bae In-ki obeys the order."

Pei Renji knocked his head to the ground and shouted, "I am here."

"The Duke of Hedong County Pei Renji was named Duke of Zheng, the inner-sergeant, and the left servant, and ordered him to draft a secret decree of 500, and sealed it on my behalf, and divided it into the hands of Pei Xingyan's 500 divisions. One is used to control the sect office, and the other is to express the imperial edict first. If the imperial edict is not followed, the country will be killed without mercy." Anyway, it is not certain who the country belongs to, so you will be rewarded first. Nowadays, the two of you are the father and son who are using their lives to protect your Yang family. You can't just talk big and paint cakes for others.

Pei Renji kowtowed like pounding garlic, shouting long live, saying: "I will devote all my efforts to the Great Sui Dynasty."

Yang Tong didn't let him get up and asked, "Where is Pei Xingyan now?"

"Report to Your Majesty, my son is at the Daye Gate, fearing that the news of Wang Shichong's return to the Eastern Capital will spread and endanger Your Majesty."

"Okay." Yang Tong spoke here: "Pei Xingyan, the son of Pei Renji, heard the title of the title."

"I will give you my son, thank you."

"The title of Jiang County Duke Pei Xingyan was Duke of Lu, the general of the auxiliary state, and the commander of the prefecture was the general of the garrison. He would start to protect the imperial city from now on. Those who had no intention of entering and leaving the palace gate without reporting were immediately executed."

"I will receive the order to thank you."

There are some considerations for rewards. Yang Tong appointed Pei Renji's Duke of Hedong County as Duke of Zheng. First, he told him that everything Wang Shichong has now belongs to you in the future. Second, he also indirectly stated that as long as Wang Shichong is not dead, you will be nothing. As for his son Duke of Lu, he will know that his fiefdom is in Shandong. At present, Shandong is not in his hands at all. That would be a casual title. If Pei Xingyan is given another Duke of Chen, it would make people feel that the emperor is too stingy, as if his subordinates would not receive rewards if they do not make merits. After all, Duke of Chen is now Duke of Duke of Chen. And the second-rank and prepared general of the auxiliary state, the general of the auxiliary state, is even more knowledgeable. It is the closest position to the emperor. Even if there is only one general of the prison state, the rest of the official positions can be fulfilled immediately after taking Luoyang. After all, he can only give so much now.

"Your Majesty, when will we take action? I suggest that you should start first."

"It's too late." Yang Tong pointed out the loophole in Pei Renji's thoughts and said, "Do you think Duan Da will get the news later than us? At this moment, I'm afraid that the Zheng Gong Mansion has been surrounded by soldiers from the prepared mansion, so I'm waiting for Wang Shichong to come back."

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, wait for tomorrow's dynasty."

"tomorrow?"

"right!"

Yang Tong said confidently: "Wang Shichong has always been thinking about adding Jiuxi. A Taiwei who wants to usurp the throne will definitely not dare to come to see me and talk about adding Jiuxi. The best time to mention this is before returning to the Eastern Capital. Otherwise, why would he have to repair it for three days?"

"I understand. When the thief mentioned adding Jiuxi in the court, my emperor would be famous for his successors."

The wind is blowing.

Yang Tong stood at Tongxuan Taoist Altar and faced the gentle breeze. From tomorrow, he would stain the April sky on earth!
