After the fourth master and I wear each other [Qing wear]

The king of Yongjun took the job on his shoulders, thinking that his sons could prove that there were no real ghosts in Qingming's haunted rumors.

It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, and this breaking news quickly spread throughout the capital after the Dragon Boat Festival.Interested people can't help but ask, is there a clear deadline for the research to verify the ghost body?

Later I heard that the time limit was one month, and evidence must be produced on the fifth day of June.

Calculating the time, the emperor basically set off to escape the summer outside the Great Wall in June, and this time point was to be before the departure of the holy car.

Here comes the question, can King Yong succeed this time?

I still remember the battle between the king of Yongjun and the king of Zhijun a few years ago, it was a miserable loss.

The underground gambling house can open again, and this time it is really difficult to bet on success or failure.

Yinzhen came to the door of the gambling house that lost ten taels of silver three years ago.

He touched the silver in his pocket, hesitated for a while, turned and left.Gambling is a bad habit, ten taels of silver is better than buying a storybook.

If you didn't step into the gambling house, it wasn't because you were afraid that you wouldn't win, but because you felt that you would win by force.

He believed that the fourth brother would not gamble with errands casually, and he should make this guarantee only if he has a well-thought-out plan.

In addition, this time I am no longer a bystander, and I also want to participate in the experiment of identifying the ghost body. All six people who visited the mass grave at night participated.

On the sixth day of May, the courses of the Faculty of Science ended.

Yinzhen called the other five people to eat at the mansion, so they got together first and came up with a charter.

In the past, the six people violated the curfew and went to the mass grave in the name of doing research. Now that they really want to make achievements, they are embarrassed to ask the fourth brother what to do.

Honghui, Hongsheng, and Hongyi don't have to go to the study in the afternoon for this ghost test project, so they have enough time to do experiments.

The original course was changed to self-study, and it was approved to go to class every day, and it was enough to come to class at [-] o'clock in the morning.

That means that like the ministers of the last court, they all need to get up before dawn.

The courtiers went to the morning court, and the emperor's grandchildren went to the morning class. The three of Honghui really experienced the daily routine of getting up early in the capital in advance.

Even so, the three children are still very happy.Waking up half an hour earlier, not only can you not have classes in the afternoon, but you can also live at home, which is quite a bargain.

As the saying goes, golden nests and silver nests are not as good as your own kennel.Being in the mansion is far more relaxed and comfortable than Elder Brother's, and he lives and cherishes it.

Six people gathered in Fourteenth Prince's Mansion.

The oldest Baotai is 22 years old, while the youngest Hongsheng is only eight years old.

Such a combination of ghost testing does not violate harmony, and they come up with a set of research plans.

First trace the origin of the haunted rumors and find those who have been chased by the will-o-the-wisps.

Record the specific time, place, and number of ghosts, and confirm whether those people have any sequelae. Besides the Lu family, are there other ghost victims who are sick?

Then, it is to consult the literature.

Since ancient times, there have been many stories about haunted cemeteries.The predecessors were able to dissect, so have you explored the cause of will-o'-the-wisps?

Or some symptoms of encountering ghosts can inspire people, which are similar to certain poisoning symptoms, so it can be deduced that the "wild fire" in the cemetery is composed of those poisonous substances.

After combining the above results, let's think about what to do in the next step of actual operation verification.

The six people took their guards and set off in batches.Time is limited, check everything you can first, and don't waste it when you need off-site help.

People live in the world, it is inevitable to meet someone who makes your heart beat faster.

Yinzhen is in such a state of life.

Half a month ago, he was awakened from his dream by the news that his younger brother and his own son were going to the mass grave.Before it stopped for a few days, the news came again that the king of Yongjun said that he would not work if he failed to catch ghosts.

He didn't know about it outside, but he was sure that Wu Fuyi was taking the opportunity to tell the truth in a fair and honest way-the old ghost was serious about going on strike.

O his heart!

Yinzhen went along smoothly, he was shocked by waves of frightening news, and it was hard not to let his heart beat faster.Ever since I met the old ghost, my days have not been peaceful.

"I finally took the opportunity to say that I don't want to work in front of everyone, but you can!"

Yinzhen didn't hesitate to mock, "Did I treat you badly? I didn't give you a plaque with the words "Great Kindness" written on it.Thank you so much for not overcrowding me and putting half the workload on me. "

In fact, Yinzhen understands the benefits of King Yongjun's public statement that he does not love real power, and Kangxi is more assured that the fourth son has no ambition to fight for the throne.

What is suffocating is that Wu Fuyi couldn't be more sincere when she said this. I'm afraid that one day she really sits on the dragon chair, and what she is thinking about is retirement life. Maybe she will become the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty to escape from the palace. .

It was no surprise that Wu Fuyi would get a piece of Zhen-style mockery after returning home, so he accepted the proposal with peace of mind.

"It's good if you know how to be grateful. It's not impossible to give a plaque, but you don't need an inscription. Just cast a super large piece of gold according to the size of the plaque. That is the real sincerity."

"vulgar!"

Yinzhen threw out a word.

I can't help but be glad that the gifts from the Prince's Mansion are from outsiders, and I have to go through the gift list in my own hands in the end, otherwise the strange aesthetics of the old ghost will be exposed.

Wu Fuyi didn't think there was a problem.

Let’s be vulgar, super-large gold nuggets can still be realized, what can inscribed plaques be used for?

In Yongjun King's handwriting, a plaque of "Great Good Man" was inscribed to Yongjun King.

what is this?Narcissistic compliment?

The last ones to be injured are later generations of historians and archaeologists, which only added to their troubles.Do scholars suspect that King Yong has a substitute?Or do you suspect that he has a special hobby?

Not to increase the workload for those who come later is the kindness that fellow workers can give.

How can this kind of quality of being considerate of others be greedy for money, but as humble as she is, she will not praise herself.

Wu Fuyi skipped this, stretched out a hand to Yinzhen, and spread it upwards. "I know you're ready, take it out."

take what?

It certainly can't be an absurd pure gold plaque without words.

If you change someone, you will be confused by this kind of question without prompting.

Yinzhen understood immediately.Only when you understand, will you sneer. "Oh! You are confident now."

"Speak nonsense to tell the truth."

Wu Fuyi saw that Yinzhen's face was about to turn dark, so he immediately changed his words: "It's because I believe you are highly skilled. You act thoughtfully, learn from the past, understand the present, make decisions before you act, and take care of everything..."

"Stop, don't let me practice idioms here."

Yinzhen didn't listen to the exaggerated praise anymore, and went to fetch a stack of books from the bookshelf.They are "Notes of Laoxuean", "Natural History" and "Lunheng" and so on.

The two riddles, the answer lies in a few books.

What Wu Fuyi asked Yinzhen to quickly take out was the literature on the study of ghost fires in the past dynasties.

Since Yinzhen knew about the night visits to the mass graves, he must look up the relevant content in case of emergencies.

Since the reason given by the children for the night visit was to verify the origin of the will-o’-the-wisp, even if Kangxi didn’t ask for it, he would still check it out because he had prepared those documents.

The literature search has indeed been completed.

There is no need to doubt the wisdom of the ancients, as there were related observations in the Han Dynasty.

Wang Chong mentioned in "Lunheng": "When a person walks at night and sees phosphorus, it does not look like a human figure. It accumulates in chaos, like a fire. Phosphorus is also the blood of the dead."

Later, the "Natural History" of the Jin Dynasty also mentioned ghost fire:

"Where you die in battle, the blood of people and horses has accumulated over the years and turned into phosphorus. The phosphorus touches the ground and the vegetation is like dew, and it is slightly invisible. Pedestrians or those who touch it, there will be light on the body."

At the same time, I also wrote about the reaction after contact, "The latter suddenly seemed to have lost his soul, and the time has passed."

The article fails to explain the cause of this symptom.

Yinzhen commented this time, at first glance, it seems that the phenomenon of being lost by evil spirits into the body may be poisoning.

He has experienced the symptoms of real soul instability, which is not what the book says.

In contrast, the loss of soul recorded by the ancients is more like poisoning after exposure to phosphorus-containing substances.It may be dizziness, nausea, weakness, or even confusion.

If the making of Huozhe is not done properly, and the amount of white phosphorus added is wrong, the user will also have similar symptoms.Therefore, ghost fires are related to phosphorus fires.

Even in the Southern Song Dynasty, some people were still able to realize that the phosphorus fire was not caused by ghosts and ghosts, but the evolution of some kind of material from the corpse.

Lu You wrote in his "Notes of Laoxuean" that he saw blue ghosts in the countryside when he was a teenager.

The reason is that the military chaos led to an increase in death, and the formation of phosphorus in human blood.Later, when the fighting stopped, there were fewer chances to see the phosphorous fire, and the world would make a fuss if they saw it by chance and didn't know why. ①

According to these documents, the ancients did not just blindly believe in ghosts and gods, but also tried to find natural causes for the formation of will-o'-the-wisps.

Wu Fuyi is not as thick as the past but as light as the present.

The phosphorus mentioned in ancient books is human blood, but the phosphine transformed from corpses into will-o'-the-wisps comes mostly from bones.

Calcium phosphate in cadaver bones, in a series of natural reactions, becomes calcium phosphide.

Calcium phosphide reacts with water to become phosphine.The ignition point of phosphine is not high, and the summer temperature reaches about [-] degrees, which is enough to ignite it.

The mass grave haunted this time, although it happened in the Qingming Festival in early April, the weather and temperature were different.

In those few days, the temperature in the capital and the suburbs was much higher than in previous years.It feels like summer is coming early, which just meets the conditions for phosphorus fire to burn.

Yinzhen consulted the literature of the past dynasties, so that the children's experimental arguments can be traced.

Wu Fuyi provided steps from the existing materials, how to make a ghost fire with human skeletons and natural minerals.

Through comparison, it is proved that the so-called ghosts appearing in the mass graves are not killed by someone, but a natural phenomenon without love or hatred.

Of course, the whole experiment should pay attention to safe operation.

The ancient books all mentioned the sequelae of losing one's soul after encountering a will-o'-the-wisp, which shows that substances harmful to living people will be formed in the burial ground, so how can it not be taken seriously.

On the first day of June, it was sunny in summer.

After nightfall, in the large courtyard of the Faculty of Science, the first public experiment of the Kangxi Dynasty-artificial will-o'-the-wisps was launched.

Due to space constraints, not all the teachers and students were able to watch with their own eyes.

The number of onlookers is limited, and there are many ministers in the court who are interested, asking the emperor for permission to come in for a look.

After 25 days, almost everyone who followed this incident knew that the source of the will-o'-the-wisp had nothing to do with the ghost's death.It is said that before the emperor approved the public experiment, he had seen the whole process of the will-o'-the-wisp in the palace.

Tonight I will demonstrate it again in public, firstly to convince the public, and secondly to educate everyone to use their brains and stop talking nonsense about ghosts and ghosts.

The capital is at the foot of the emperor, even if it is a mass grave on the outskirts of the city, there will be no ghosts threatening their lives.

It happened that Lu's family was plagued by diseases, mostly because they got sick in the cemetery.

It’s hard to say what diseases those dead people had before, so try to avoid them as much as possible, and don’t go to the place where the corpses are piled up.

"Look! What a blue will-o'-the-wisp!"

"Wow, the red flame was also made."

"Hey, hey! Look, as soon as Fourteenth Brother starts running, the fire can float with him. Could it be that the wind blows the fire when he walks?"

The air in the outdoor venue is ventilated. Today, Yinzhen, Baotai and Li Wei are in charge of the demonstration.

As early as after Kangxi read the research proposals of six people, he was afraid of the risk of poisoning in the actual operation, so he didn't let the three children get started.

After all, Honghui and others are still young, so they have to wait a little longer.Wait until they are 12 years old, if they are still interested in doing these studies, let them go to the field to practice.It's great to be able to complete the previous theoretical part this time.

Amidst the amazed cheers of the onlookers, the phosphorus fire was extinguished, announcing the completion of the ghost test.

This represents the perfect ending of the first public experiment of the Royal Academy of Sciences in the Qing Dynasty.

Mei Wending, vice president of the Faculty of Science, wrote what happened tonight in the school history.This matter cannot wait for the dean to do it, because the dean is Kangxi.Whether the emperor writes or not, it is not easy for a courtier to force him.

In the article, try to objectively describe the ins and outs that will lead to this experiment, and it is inevitable to use two people as references.

Sanbeile Yinzhi was originally considered a learned man by the world.

In the process of reporting someone who visited the mass grave at night, he never mentioned that he believed that the will-o'-the-wisps were formed naturally, and even questioned the need for research to falsify haunting.

Looking at it now, it is unavoidable to suspect that his knowledge is flawed, and he doesn't even know that the ancients actually dabbled in research on will-o'-the-wisps and phosphorus.

This lack of structural knowledge was also found in the emperor Sun Hongxi.

In his speech on the Dragon Boat Festival, he expressed his belief that the experiment is more likely to fail.This person didn't study hard, even Lu You's books had never been widely read, otherwise how could he not know about it?

Mei Wending's article dared to criticize the prince and grandson, so it will not be released to the public for the time being, and it will only be placed in the archives of the Faculty of Science.

After many years, these have become an important part of historical evidence, marking this night as the eve of the dawn of chemical science in China.

Right now, people cannot predict what will be written in the history books later, but they can recognize some things clearly.

For example, it is clear that the aura of learning and wealth that hangs over Sanbeile is no longer valid, and another point is that half of the people in the gambling house are going to lose money this time.

The experiment was successful, and the group of gamblers who bet on King Yong's going away lost.

Wu Fuyi knew that he would win, but he was not too happy about winning.

Kangxi finally gave a clear answer. The fourth child can go to Beijing for research, but he has to wait until he attends Yinxiang's wedding banquet.

Until this fall, Concubine Min passed away for five years.

Yinxiang first kept filial piety for his mother for three years, and waited for the draft after the filial piety period.Last year's draft finally pointed out Fujin's candidate, but it happened that his uncle and uncle passed away.

Even if the nephew's filial piety for his uncle is not as strict as for his immediate family members, he still has to keep his filial piety for nine months, and marriage is definitely not allowed.

This autumn and winter, Yinxiang is getting married, so he should be able to get married smoothly.Observing the relatives within a circle of five clothes, they are all in good health so far, and no one is planning to date Yama.

In front of Kangxi, Wu Fuyi of course had to express that King Yongjun would definitely attend the wedding banquet and would not miss Yinxiang's major life events.

The thirteenth elder brother can be regarded as a late-married person among the princes, but he already has a child with the Gege Guerjia family.A one-year-old girl was born at the end of last summer, which happened to be outside the filial piety period.

Kangxi said again, after the wedding banquet in October, it will be Laba in a blink of an eye, and soon it will be the Spring Festival again.Since it is stuck at this point in time, it is inconvenient to travel in winter.It's better to wait for the beginning of spring next year, and then let the king of Yongjun go on tour in a micro-clothes.

What can Wu Fuyi say about this?

She suspected that Kangxi had performed a delaying technique on the fourth child, but there was no substantive evidence.

"Because the emperor hit me with a stick, but he gave me two candies."

Wu Fuyi told Yinzhen, "Five days later, we will set off to escape the summer outside the Great Wall, and let the fourth child go with us. This year, we will give some benefits, and we can take the female relatives and children to the grassland together. However, the emperor mentioned that Honghui and Hongjin would not give Go. The two children have been studying outside the palace for a month, let them stay in the upper study room this time."

Kangxi is in a good mood for a reason.

His beloved daughter, Princess Rongxian married Urgon.This forehead son-in-law inherited the title of King Zasakdoro of the Ministry of Bahrain this year.

According to the emperor's intention, in July, Princess Rong Xian's family should also come to the Mulan paddock to get together.

On the surface, it is said that he misses his daughter, but in fact, it is for entrustment.The son-in-law has become the new power holder of the Bahrain Ministry to play a practical role in stabilizing the relationship between the various forces in Mongolia.

These complex political intentions will be discussed later.

For this trip to the grassland, Wu Fuyi had the mentality that it would be good to have no fish or shrimp.I can't travel alone for the time being, but it's not bad to be able to travel at public expense to escape the summer heat.

"I'm planning to take Mo Yaqi. The little girl is seven years old, and she should go out for a walk. I originally wanted to call Mrs. Song, thinking that she might not want to be separated from her daughter for too long. Mrs. Song is not willing, and would rather be in the capital Study agricultural books. It seems that once bitten by a snake, I am afraid of well ropes for ten years."

It was four years ago that Mrs. Song went with her to escape the summer heat last time.She didn't go to the Mulan paddock, but in the Rehe Palace, she heard that the fourth elder brother was attacked by wild wolves and almost died.

Song has a psychological shadow, worrying about what will happen outside the Great Wall.One is that there is a risk for oneself, and the other is that she is afraid that the fourth master will identify her as an unknown woman, so she really doesn't want to go.

Seeing Song's careful thinking, she didn't force herself, anyway, she was not afraid that no one would take good care of Mo Yaqi.

The Song family has a psychological shadow, or was influenced indirectly, but Yinzhen was changed in the course of his life in the Mulan paddock.

Right now, Wu Fuyi had to ask Yinzhen, "What do you say? Are you going to Mulan paddock together this year?"

When Yinzhen heard the words Mulan Paddock, it was really the place where the dream began.

Initially thought it was a nightmare that couldn't be worse.

Looking back now, everything that happened was outrageous and absurd.However, maybe or is there a possibility, that is, a possibility, that it can become a beautiful dream?

Yinzhen didn't stay silent for too long, and quickly gave an affirmative answer.

"Of course I have to go. This year, Urgon inherits the title, and the Mongolian forces are bound to usher in changes. It is very likely that many Mongolian princes will come to Mulan Paddock to inquire about news. I also have to be on the front line to grasp the real-time news .”

Some words were called by Yinzhen, and the tone couldn't be more serious, as if it was business.
