Gongsun Chen cannot be regarded as a Confucian.

He is just a magician.

Although this guy does not hold a senior position, he still has a high prestige and is very eloquent.

The main difference between Zhang Xiang and him is on the Five Virtues theory. He admits that Qin has water virtues and believes that the Han Dynasty should have earth virtues, while Zhang Cang believes that Qin has no virtues and Han has water virtues. Although Zhang Cang is good at governing the country, he cannot

He was good at calculations and knew a bit about everything, but he did not gain the upper hand in the debate with Gongsun Chen.

Gongsunchen said that Zhang Cang was speechless and defeated him easily, which made many people begin to support his Huanglong theory and stepped on Zhang Cang's back to increase his reputation to a higher level.

Facing Liu Chang's gossipy eyes, Zhang Cang said with a straight face, "Why is your Majesty so interested in Fang Shi?"

"At the beginning, the alchemists deceived the First Emperor and even implicated us Confucians for a time."

"These people are of no use to the country, and all my senior brothers hate them extremely..."

"Ahem, I heard that he was holding a sword to kill the master, but was captured by Tingwei. What happened?"

Zhang Cang's face didn't even turn red, and he said righteously, "This guy wants to kill me because he sees that his Huanglong theory is untenable."

"Oh? Really?"

Liu Chang didn't quite believe this statement, "How did I hear that it was because his wife gave birth to a son..."

"Your Majesty, the rumors fabricated by the evildoers should not be easily believed! In the absence of the Majesty, I promoted literature and rectified the administration of officials. These villains framed me like this and wanted to destroy my reputation! However, compared to the important affairs of the country,

, what’s a little fame worth?”

Liu Chang admired his teacher's appearance. No matter what he said, his teacher was so righteous and upright, and he understood the essence of Confucianism.

Liu Chang shook his head and said with emotion: "Master... I have studied with you for so long, but I am still not as good as you in telling lies."

"I told you all about the embroidered clothes, but you just did something you shouldn't have done! How could you do this? It was an academic dispute between you and Gongsun Chen, how could you...sigh..."

Liu Chang shook his head. This matter is really difficult to handle. There are many people who impeached Zhang Cang. Zhang Cang did bad things, but Gongsun Chen was imprisoned in Tingwei. What happened!

Zhang Cang pondered for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty...there are some things that I cannot tell you directly."

"In terms of talents and achievements in governing the country, how does Xiao compare with his ministers? A person like Xiao Xiang also embezzled money to avoid the jealousy of his ministers..."

"Oh...you mean your behavior is self-destruction?"

"The king finally discovered it! That's exactly what it is!"

Liu Chang glanced at his teacher. He was lustful, so why should he be desecrating himself? It was because Xiao He was so loved by the people and ministers. Are you worthy of it?

However, due to the friendship between master and apprentice, Liu Chang still did not expose him, "I am going to see Gongsun Chen in person."

"Your Majesty! No!"

"What? Master has committed suicide, and you still don't allow me to let him go? If you don't let him go, you will live in his house!"

Zhang Cang said seriously: "If this person sees the king, he will definitely confuse the king with the theory of Huanglong."

Liu Chang asked curiously: "I don't understand this matter. He said Tu De, you said Shui De, and you said Qin Wude. What's the reason for this? What's the difference between Tu De and Shui De? Besides,

, many policies of the Han Dynasty are along the lines of Qin, why do you belittle Qin like this?"

Zhang Cang looked around and then said disdainfully: "There is no difference, there is no virtue... It's just that the big man has just established many etiquette and colors. If these alchemists want to change these, they just want words.

It’s just about their own rights, it’s all for their own benefit, your Majesty, just pretend you haven’t heard of it..."

"I have never seen an alchemist until now!"

Liu Chang was a little curious, so he ignored Zhang Cang's dissuasion and insisted on going to Tingwei to meet Gongsun Chen.

When Liu Chang came to the familiar Tingwei, Luan Bu greeted the officials enthusiastically. Many officials who were familiar with Luan Bu were in high positions at the moment. Liu Chang asked Luan Bu to reminisce with these people, while he himself

He led Wang Tianqi to the prison.

"Luan Gong! Long time no see!"

"It's okay to call yourself king, but you don't dare to call yourself duke."

"Hahaha, everyone says that the king wants to replace you as Prime Minister. How dare you call yourself king?"

"Looking at everyone, it seems that you have lived a good life since the king left."

"Sigh... what are you talking about... you don't know something. Although the king is gone, there is still Gongzi Xiang. Gongzi Xiang is even worse than the king. A few days ago, he and several friends took Cao Chang's family home.

The child was injured..."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. How many children does Luan Jun have?"

"Well... I never got married."

While Luan Bu and the others were chatting, Liu Chang came to Gongsun Chen.

Gongsun Chen was sitting in the prison, his face full of sorrow and anger, but when he saw the person coming, he immediately straightened his expression and said confidently: "The king is here."

"oh?"

"Today I saw the nobility condensed from the window, and I thought that the king would come..."

"Hahaha, really?"

Liu Changren opened the door and brought Gongsun Chen out.

"People say that you are a real god. Come and help me change my mind. If I get better, I will forgive you!"

Gongsun Chen only felt a deep insult, but he still had that confident smile on his face. He did not dare to turn around and leave, because he was old and he was afraid that King Tang would beat him.

"Your Majesty, you don't know something. Your Majesty has the Qi of the Emperor, and any magic spell is useless in front of your Majesty..."

"Is this person so powerful?"

Liu Chang stroked his chin, but his eyes were full of contempt.

Gongsun Chen knew that he had to change his strategy. He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have auspicious gifts to offer. If you don't believe it, I can predict for you..."

"No need!"

Liu Chang became even more impatient. Gongsun Chen had always wanted to meet Liu Chang. Seeing Liu Chang becoming more and more unhappy, he was afraid of losing this opportunity and hurriedly changed his strategy again. He shouted: "Your Majesty! I know the secret of alchemy."

Law...."

Liu Chang's eyes lit up, "Can you make elixirs?"

Wang Tianqi's face changed drastically and he said angrily: "Your Majesty! Please kill this person!"

But Gongsun Chen didn't care about Wang Tianqi at all, and nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I know how to make alchemy. I have several friends who are proficient in the art of alchemy. What we make is not the useless pill that King Qin took, but the real one."

Just one elixir can make the king immortal!"

"No, please tell me in detail, how do you usually make elixirs? What do you use? Come on, come out, let's talk while walking!"

Liu Chang pulled the man over and led him out, but Wang Tianqi almost cried. He shouted: "Your Majesty! Don't be bewitched by him!"

If the Queen Mother knew that the king had hired someone from Tingwei who could make alchemy, would she, the Tingwei, still do it?

Liu Chang waved his hand, "How can I be deceived by others? I am a wise king! Don't worry!"

Gongsun Chen was also very happy at this moment. He nodded and reprimanded loudly: "The king is a wise king! How dare you say that!"

Gongsun Chen nodded and followed Liu Chang, hunched over, and explained his method of refining alchemy.

"Your Majesty, this elixir..."

"Don't tell me what the elixir is like, keep telling me how you made it!"

"good!"

Although Gongsun Chen didn't know why the king was so curious about the technology of alchemy, he didn't dare to keep it secret. He explained various techniques one by one, and Liu Chang nodded from time to time.

"I didn't expect it...you guys are really good at conducting experiments."

"Ah? What did the king say?"

"nothing."

Liu Chang laughed and took Gongsun Chen's hand, "Let's do this. I am very curious about the art of alchemy. You can find all the friends you know who can make alchemy. I will personally arrange a good job for you.

, how about it?”

Gongsun Chen was overjoyed and said, "I am willing to serve the king!"

"One more thing...that picture..."

As soon as Liu Chang spoke, Gongsun Chen's face turned dark. He gritted his teeth and his expression kept changing, "Your Majesty, I will no longer pursue this matter... It's just that Zhang Cang has done many evil things and doesn't know how to accumulate blessings. He has consumed too much."

Such good fortune, you will soon die!"

Hearing Gongsun Chen cursing Zhang Cang, Liu Chang couldn't say anything for his master. After all, it was Zhang Cang who was indeed unkind. Seducing a concubine was a big deal. You seducing the wife was really unkind.

Gongsun Chen paid homage to Liu Chang again and left Tingwei in a hurry.

But Wang Tianqi found Luan Bu and said in a low voice: "Gong Luan, the king wants to find the alchemists to refine the elixir. Only you can dissuade him!"

"Um???"

The smile on Luan Bu's face gradually solidified.

.........

"Your Majesty! No way!!"

Luan Bu grabbed Liu Chang's hand, his eyes filled with fear.

He had known that his king was a comatose king, but he never thought that his king could be so comatose. He was already preparing to make elixirs just now. Then would he have to send people out to sea to search for the fairy mountains?

Looking at Luan Bu's frightened eyes, Liu Chang shook his head helplessly, "It doesn't matter if they don't believe me, why don't you believe it? I'm not asking them to make alchemy, I'm going to let them go to Shang Fang. Previously Shang Fang

Aren't they just busy trying to improve the power of gunpowder? These people are good at experimenting!"

"Your Majesty wants them to refine gunpowder??"

Luan Bu looked at Liu Chang suspiciously. After Liu Chang used gunpowder to blast mines, gunpowder gradually became popular in various places as a tool for mining. However, its power was too small and could not be used in other fields. It was really shocking.

People have headaches.
