Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 129: Put some pressure on genocide

Changan.

Many people have discovered that quite a few alchemists have appeared in recent days, and many masters can be seen performing magical spells on the streets, winning the applause of the people.

Li Chunfeng couldn't help but shake his head when he passed by.

The more you love to show off now, you will realize how miserable you will be in the end.

He was a dignified Doctor of Taichang, but in the blink of an eye, he was transferred to the Wei River at the order of the Crown Prince.

Li Chunfeng could not figure out how he had fallen to the point of having to deal with heavenly craftsmen.

Is that what a Taoist priest like him does?
"The future is bleak and unclear. Am I going to spend the rest of my life in Tiangong Workshop?"

"Why……!"

Li Chunfeng drank tea and felt sad alone.

Not long after, a man arrived. He looked at Li Chunfeng, who was frowning in sorrow, and said with a smile, "From my observation of your face, I can see that you are blessed with good fortune. Your destiny will turn for the better, and you will be in a high position and receive a high salary in the near future. But you must not forget me."

"Brother Dao, are you here to make fun of me?"

Li Chunfeng stared.

Yuan Tiangang laughed, and after sitting down, he said, "I haven't taken it seriously that you sent me to the Crown Prince's case."

Hearing this, Li Chunfeng was helpless. What else could he do?

The prince asked him to give the list. Yuan Tiangang's name and talent in physiognomy were known to both the emperor and his ministers. How could he dare to hide it and not give it to the prince?
"I am also giving Brother Dao an opportunity."

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Dao."

The two chatted for a while, and Yuan Tiangang said, "I haven't seen much of you lately, brother. How is the Tiangong Workshop?"

"busy."

Li Chunfeng shook his head and said, "Everything is under construction from scratch."

"However, I will work with a group of craftsmen to follow the prince's instructions and create something that can use water power."

"I need to take charge of the overall situation and cannot leave easily."

"Coming back this time can be considered a break from the busy schedule."

At this point, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "When I returned to the city, I met many fellow Taoists."

"When is the prince going to summon you fellow Taoists?"

Yuan Tiangang said: "Tomorrow."

"So fast."

"I just came to ask you about the prince's thoughts so that I can make preparations."

"You have the ability to read faces, can't you see it?"

"The prince is the king. How can you watch the king without permission? I cannot afford such an offense."

Li Chunfeng thought for a moment and said, "I don't know why the prince summoned me."

"Just act as you see fit."

Yuan Tiangang: “…”

have to.

Come as if you didn’t come.

……

As soon as Wei Zheng arrived at the Eastern Palace, he found many Taoists and could not help but frown.

In his early years, he was also a wandering Taoist priest. He knew that many Taoist priests were all show and no substance. There were many who cheated, deceived, and deceived people with tricks and were deliberately mysterious.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...!"

When Wei Zheng saw Li Chengqian, he immediately asked, "Why did Your Highness summon the alchemist?"

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "I admire and worship Taoism, so I want to meet a master who is profound in Taoism."

"But I have seen that these alchemists are not masters of Taoism. Instead, I have seen many alchemists who are unlearned and unskilled."

Wei Zheng could still distinguish between masters and alchemists.

What kind of master is that?

Most of them are alchemists.

"Master Wei, you were also a wandering Taoist priest in your early years. Why do you look down on Taoist priests?"

"It is precisely because I was an expert in this field in my early years that I know that many alchemists have no real skills, and pretending to be profound is just a common trick."

Wei Zheng said calmly: "That's why I disdain it."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but laugh. Old man Wei used to be a Taoist priest, so he knew all the ins and outs of this.

He also doesn't mind arguments.

He ordered people to call in all the alchemists.

The alchemists came in one after another, and immediately bowed to the prince when they saw him. Many of them had shining eyes and even made mysterious gestures like masters.

Every alchemist has a dream.

From the First Emperor to Emperor Wu of Han, and then to the Tang Dynasty.

How many great alchemists were born? They are the idols and role models of other alchemists, and the pinnacle of their dreams in life.

If he handles the prince's summons this time properly, he might be able to become one of the great alchemists.

Not all of these people are alchemists, there are also masters of other folk skills.

They did not have as ambitious goals as the alchemists. They just wanted to show off their skills in front of the prince and get his appreciation and reuse.

"I summoned you today."

"I heard that you have many tricks, including the ability to turn decay into magic."

Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Yuan Tiangang was observing the prince, and he unconsciously wanted to tell what the prince was like from his facial features.

But after some observation, there was no more information.

There is only one.

It is priceless and out of reach!

He quickly looked away and thought to himself.

"You are all masters, who can show me your skills?"

Li Chengqian asked.

Wei Zheng moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but he remained silent.

Li Zhi and Chang Sun Chong were quite looking forward to it.

Chang Sun Chong asked, "Who of you will show your skills first?"

"I come."

A Taoist priest stood up.

Once there is a first one, there will be a second one, and then many more will come out.

But the abilities displayed are all commonplace.

There is a way to perform a frying pan with bare hands.

Li Chengqian stood up, and everyone was shocked. Why didn't he show off this skill? Everyone could do it.

"Your Highness, I am safe and sound even though I have put my hand into the frying pan..."

The alchemist was quite pleased with himself, but was dumbfounded the next moment.

The prince also reached his hand in.

"Your Highness!"

"Prince!"

Changsun Chong and Wei Zheng shouted and subconsciously reached out to stop him, but it was too late, Li Chengqian's hand had already reached in.

Li Zhi stood there in shock, his mind going blank.

Li Chengqian took it out of the oil pan leisurely and said calmly, "That's it?"

Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

How dare the prince?

Li Chengqian stretched out his hand, but Chang Sunchong didn't respond yet. He patted Chang Sunchong's body with his wet hand, "What are you standing there for?"

"handkerchief!"

Chang Sun Chong finally came to his senses and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe Li Chengqian's wound, while carefully observing his hands to see if there were any burns.

Li Zhi also squeezed over to watch. His hands were white and had no injuries at all.

Wei Zheng stared at the alchemist coldly. If anything happened to the prince today, all of them would have to die.

Pfft!
The Taoist knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

He fears.

Scared to the extreme.

I have never seen such a big-hearted person, especially a prince who is so noble.

This hand is stretched out without any asking or response.

"Your Highness, I admit my guilt. I admit my guilt..."

The other alchemists were also trembling with fear as they encountered a master who did not play by the rules.

Who wouldn’t be nervous?

To be honest, their skills are just tricks.

If you encounter a wealthy family and are exposed, the best outcome is beating with sticks, or even death.

To the level of the prince.

That is deceiving the emperor and the punishment is beheading.

Li Chengqian wiped his hands, glanced at them, and said, "Okay, stop knocking."

"Your brain is still useful to me."

These words scared the alchemist to death.

it works?

Is it for chopping?

"Tell me, what's going on with this oil pan?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Go back to Your Highness..."

The Taoist priest said tremblingly: "There is vinegar in the oil pan. After it boils, it looks like the oil pan is boiling, but in fact it is not hot at all..."

Li Chengqian threw the handkerchief to Chang Sunchong, walked around the oil pan, leaned over to observe, and asked, "Why is it like this?"

"The vinegar is on top and the oil is on the bottom, so that's why..."

"That's not what I want to know."

Li Chengqian interrupted, "I want to know the reason behind this."

"This... I don't know, it's just the way it's been passed down."

Yuan Tiangang was indeed frightened just now. The prince was too bold. He threw the oil pan into the water without hesitation, not even afraid of hurting himself.

But now that the prince knew the trick, his reaction was a bit strange.

"Give you a chance to atone for your sins."

"If you figure out the principle behind this, I will spare your life. Otherwise..."

Li Chengqian's eyes were cold, "Exterminate the clan!"

"Your Highness, please spare me, please spare me, I know my crime."

"Do you know anyone else who knows this technique?" Li Chengqian suddenly asked.

"Have!"

The alchemist turned around hastily, pointed at the people among the alchemists, and shouted, "He, he, and he."

Li Chengqian was amused to see that there were quite a few people.

The alchemists who were targeted were almost hating each other to death.

"Send them all to Tiangong Workshop and hand them over to Li Chunfeng later."

He waved his hand, and the eunuch came forward and took the oil pan away.

Li Chengqian turned around and sat down, thinking that if he didn't put some pressure on the clan to be exterminated, his potential would not be stimulated.

"Any other acting skills you have?"

How could the alchemist dare to do that?

This is going to make me lose my head.

Li Chengqian laughed secretly, fearing that he had frightened them all.

"I heard that there is a master who can turn water into ice."

"Who among you knows how to do this?"

He asked calmly, but no one responded.

Chang Sun Chong leaned forward and said, "Your Highness, I think they are all scared to death."

Li Chengqian nodded, it was too early to put pressure on him.

"Then, whoever stands up next, I will be happy and will reward him handsomely, regardless of his guilt."

The alchemist kept complaining, which meant I was unlucky.

"I am not kidding!" he emphasized.

The alchemists looked at each other, and finally a folk alchemist stood up and said, "Your Highness, I will."

"Oh?"

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up and he said, "Come, show me."

"The little one needs water and saltpeter."

When he heard about saltpeter, Li Chengqian's attitude became even gentler. It seemed that this guy really knew how to do it.

soon.

Bring clean water and saltpeter.

The man threw a small amount of saltpeter into it, and over time, the clear water gradually turned into ice, emitting cold steam.

"hiss!"

Wei Zheng even gasped, unable to believe that this man was so capable.

Melt water into ice.

He stretched out his finger and pointed, and said in surprise: "Your Highness, it's really ice."

"what happened."

Li Chengqian said: "We have to ask him about this."

"Your Highness, I discovered this by accident. When saltpeter is combined with water, it can become ice..."

"why?"

Li Chengqian tortured.

Of course he couldn't answer it and he stammered, unable to explain why.

"A reward of 100 strings of cash."

Li Chengqian said, "Go to Tiangongfang and study the principle carefully. If you succeed, I will ask for credit for you."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Waving his hand to let them leave, Li Chengqian glanced at everyone and asked, "Did anyone encounter an explosion while refining the elixir?"

"Or perhaps mastery of gunpowder."

“It’s like a firecracker.”

A man stood up and said, "Your Highness, I know everything. Fireworks were invented by me."
