Chapter 402 Spectroscopy
Chang'an, Huainan residence, full of guests, gathering together.∽↗∽↗,
Under the gaze of everyone, in the lobby, Deng Guobin carefully took out a crystal clear glazed triangular prism, placed it on the wooden rack by the window, and nodded to the waiter beside him.
The waiter pulled the thick wall curtains and covered the windows one by one. The bright sunlight was blocked outside, and the lobby gradually darkened and he could not see his fingers. The guests were shocked, and some screamed, but aroused a burst of ridicule.
"Where did the savage come from? Fuss."
"Who knows, it seems that the accent is from Qidi. No wonder, although Qi people are good at talking about gods, they have never seen any world. Last time, Master Weng said that the so-called fairy mountains in the sea are just illusions caused by sea fog, and only those unsightly guys regarded them as gods."
"Hehe, isn't it?" The man was silent for a moment, and then smiled: "The Master Weng was deceived by Dongfang Shuo, and he has no good impression of Qiren."
"Hahaha……"
As the whispers were whispering, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and a bright light shot out from the gap in the wall curtain, shining on the glazed triangular prism. In an instant, a seven-color rainbow shot out from the triangular prism, shining straight on the plain wall opposite. Although it was a lot light, it was full of brilliance and beautiful.
"Wow," everyone exclaimed in unison.
"Oh," a sound of orioles came from the upper floor. "It's so beautiful, is this a rainbow?"
"Hey, isn't the rainbow curved like a bow? Why is this rainbow straight like a arrow?"
"Hehe, probably because Master Weng likes the arrow god Liang Xiao, so even the rainbow becomes straight."
There was a burst of laughter, and then someone said, "Shut up, I annoyed the master, I won't invite you next time." Before he finished speaking, the man laughed himself. His laughter was clear and tender, and his tone was jumping, and he was clearly a young girl who was just in his prime.
Liu Ling sat in the private room facing the lobby on the second floor and laughed awkwardly. "These people are so unrestrained that they make the queen laugh."
Under the hazy light, the queen Chen Ajiao, sitting in the seat, covered her lips and glanced at Liu Ling. "Although these people are unrestrained, they are not wrong. You don't have to be shy. The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried and the two are in love. It is reasonable. What's wrong with being embarrassed about? Besides, you know Liang Xiao in the wild. This kind of eyesight is rare among us women."
"The Queen is too rewarded." Liu Ling's face was slightly dizzy. "Even if Liang Xiao is a thousand-mile horse, he still wants his wise ruler like His Majesty to be properly promoted. Queen, these two days..."
Chen Ajiao waved her hand and said with a smile: "It's rare for me to leave the palace to relax. You talk about these state affairs again. I won't come next time."
Liu Ling knew it and quickly apologized, but a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. The northern border was fighting, and Liang Xiao followed Li Guang to fight. He was the main force of the three armies. It is true that Li Guang was a famous general, but this time he went on a war was different from the past. Not only was the total force as high as more than 100,000, but he also took the initiative to attack. No one could be sure whether he could succeed.
As the master of Huainan, Liu Ling knew the inside story better than others. When the emperor first took power, he needed a happy victory to prove his ability. In case of failure, he would face doubts from the subjects of the court and the country, and the pressure would not be too great. In the end, these pressures would be transferred to Liang Xiao and others. If they fail, they would probably become scapegoats.
As far as Liu Ling himself is concerned, the chances of winning this battle are limited. Not only is the army not superior, but the number of cavalry is seriously insufficient, the plan for attacking these three routes is itself a big problem. No matter which route it meets the main force of the Huns, the other two routes have no time to rescue, and they are like alone.
If this great defeat only caused a heavy blow to the emperor's prestige, Liu Ling did not object, but if Liang Xiao could become a scapegoat, she would not accept it. She finally earned a marquis, but if she lost it because of the emperor's strategic mistake, it would be a loss.
Ask the queen to listen to the lecture, Liu Ling wanted to use the queen to inquire about the situation in the palace and speculate whether the progress of the war was smooth based on the changes in the emperor's emotions. Although the queen did not make it clear, she had already revealed some clues, which made Liu Ling even more worried.
"Okay, don't worry about it." The queen advised: "I want to discuss something with you, and I'll ask my sister to agree."
Liu Ling quickly cheered up. "Queen, please say that as long as you can, you will never refuse."
"Your lecture is so good, it's hard to find, and the guests almost squeezed through the threshold of Huainan Mansion. My house is neglected, and the case has been dusty. Look... can you hold a lecture at my house and let my mother watch the fun?"
Liu Ling raised his eyebrows and hesitated a little. She knew the queen's meaning, but she was more aware of the trouble that might be caused.
The queen took Liu Ling's hand and begged: "Sister, you just need to arrange two people to attend the meeting and give lectures. You don't have to worry about other things. If necessary, my mother can pay a lot of money to hire her and will never let her suffer."
Liu Ling couldn't refuse and smiled and said, "The Queen is so polite. It is their honor to be the guest of the Grand Lord. There is no reason to refuse. Don't worry, as long as the Grand Lord arranges it properly, they can attend at any time."
"Then thank you sister." The queen smiled and leaned against Liu Ling's ear and said softly: "Sister, ten days ago, there was a great victory in Longyou. Li Guang accepted Liang Xiao's suggestion and forced a submission to slaughter the king. He took 30,000 horses alone. If nothing unexpected happens, Liang Xiao can be more sealed this time."
"Is that right?" Liu Ling was overjoyed and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With this military merit at the bottom, even if he suffered some setbacks later, he could still lose his merits.
"Can I still lie to you?" the queen giggled, "But the war has not ended yet, the outcome has not been judged, and the emperor does not want people to think that he is frivolous, so he did not announce it to the government and the public, and only a few ministers knew about it. You must not tell it."
Liu Ling nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Listen to lectures, listen to lectures. Queen, this study of spectroscopy is very interesting and worth listening to it."
"Okay, OK." The queen was satisfied and turned her eyes to the lecture in the hall.
After Deng Guobin finished demonstrating the spectrometry, he ordered people to open the window curtains, and the sun shone in again, shining on his slightly pale face, which looked so radiant. After watching the magical scene just now, the guests were curious and didn't bother to taste the fine wine and the fruits, and listened to his explanation attentively. Although not everyone is interested in studying these small techniques, it is always good to talk more.
Nowadays, the lectures in Huainan Palace are the most talked about by scholars in the capital. There are rumors that even the emperor pretended to be ordinary scholars many times and mixed in the crowd to listen. If he had the opportunity to meet this Bailong in the fish suit and let him see his talents, he might have the opportunity to rise to the top.
Isn’t Liang Xiao, who is now famous, so he was attracted by the emperor at first sight?
Even if you don’t have the chance to meet the emperor, be attracted by the beauties on the second floor, and marry a noble family member as your wife, it is a joy in life.
It is hard to say that a few of the guests are for academics, a few are for the legendary opportunity, and a few are for the beauties in the second floor private room. However, these do not matter. It can bring fame and popularity to the Huainan residence, so Liu Ling's purpose has been achieved.
Deng Guobin downstairs was giving a lecture, and people were greeting outside the private room from time to time upstairs. Ordinary people could not climb to the second floor, and the female guests on the second floor were greetings. The host Liu Ling had not shown up today. He was quick-witted and realized that there were distinguished guests coming today, so he came to the private room to inquire about the news.
Liu Ling asked Queen Chen Ajiao what she meant and refused. Before the lecture was over, Queen Chen left the seat early and left Huainan residence through the side door.
Back at Weiyang Palace, the car drove into Sima Gate, turned north, and stopped in front of the ramp on the east side of the Jiaofang Hall. With the support of the palace maids, Empress Chen got out of the car and stepped on the white marble steps. She was about to enter the hall when she suddenly saw a fast horse running from the north side, with the sound of hooves, which was particularly clear in the solemn Weiyang Palace.
Queen Chen turned around and walked to the corridor, watching the knights galloping past the Jiaofang Hall and running towards Chengming Hall.
Queen Chen was a little hesitant. She was not interested in the government and was not good at it. At this time, she ran over and asked questions, which would probably only make the emperor bored. But when she thought of Liu Ling, she had to harden her head. When the Empress Dowager passed away, she left all her treasures to her mother, but she failed to keep her prestige. Now the Chen family is rich enough to rival the country, but she is already in a desperate situation and urgently needs the support of a rising star like Liang Xiao and Liu Ling.
After finally seizing the opportunity, he received Liu Ling's promise. If such important news cannot be conveyed to Liu Ling in time, will Liu Ling still be attentive?
Queen Chen weighed the pros and cons, sent the waiter to find out the news, dressed up herself, and waited in the hall restlessly.
After a while, the waiter came back. He didn't find out what the details were, but the emperor, Yan Zhu and others were excited, which should be good news.
Queen Chen let out a long breath, brought the prepared snacks and meals, and rushed to Chengming Palace.
In Chengming Hall, the emperor was happy and looked at him, Yan Zhu and others were dancing, the king and his subjects were happy, and they were even a little proud.
"That's great, great." The emperor clenched his fists and cheered repeatedly. "It's half successful to defeat King Aries. If King Loufan can be blocked in time, this battle will be considered as the battle. Henan will be the fortress of the Han Dynasty from now on, and the Huns will never shed their horses here."
"Yes, yes." King Wuqiu Shou said in response: "Meng Tian defeated the Huns with an army of 300,000. Now, Your Majesty only used a army of 100,000 to retake Henan. Your Majesty's achievements will definitely exceed those of Yingzheng, and he will fight south and north, expand territory..."
"You are really confused." Yan Zhuo lowered his face and refuted mercilessly: "Your Majesty uses a benevolent and righteous army. The benevolent are invincible. How can one compare to the tyrannical Qin Dynasty with military force?"
"Uh..." King Qiu Shou knew that he had made a mistake and quickly apologized for his crime. "I made a mistake, please forgive me."
The emperor was in a good mood at this moment, so he would not care about these subtle details. He waved his hand and smiled, "You should notify the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately. After the victory, there will be many rewards. Let them be prepared. The reward is too thin and will hurt the hearts of the soldiers."
"only!"
Empress Chen walked outside the hall and heard this sentence. She couldn't help but feel aroused her heart and came up with a plan.
