Poisoned? Liu Tan stood up immediately, and then he remembered that Liu Che was still here.
Liu Che rarely saw him frowning, and couldn't help asking, "Just now, there was a report that the sand was poisoned, and now the craftsmen have already gone to jail!"
Liu Che's warm expression just now immediately turned cold. In an instant, he was furious. This sand was given to Liu Tan. He poisoned the sand and murdered Liu Tan. The most important thing was that Liu Tan had never been able to stop him.
If he is not comfortable here this time, he needs to accompany himself, maybe Zeng Xian will say something
Liu Che never showed his anger, but at this moment, he was extremely furious, but he only said one word: "Investigate!"
Liu Tan said with some hesitation, "Father, I will go back and take a look. Perhaps there is a misunderstanding."
If this were true, Li Buyan would be in trouble.
If Li Buyan said that he wanted to harm him, Liu Tan would not believe it at all, and the people Li Buyan sent to escort the things must also be his accomplices.
Thinking about Li Buyan's bright future, Liu Tan also felt a little painful.
Liu Che did not stop Liu Tan. If he really poisoned someone, he would definitely not dare to take any action for a short period of time after being discovered. Now Liu Tan is safe.
But he also warned, "Don't eat anything when you return. Have the kitchen checked. From now on, all meals will be served at my place."
Liu Che lived in Changshou Palace. Except for the meal that Liu Tan assigned him to prepare on the day he arrived, the rest of the food was given to Liu Che.
No, he is not filial, but when it comes to things related to the emperor, it is better to be cautious.
The people Liu Che brought with him must be people he trusted, so any problems would not involve Liu Tan.
This little caution paid off at this moment.
Liu Tan nodded and forced a smile, saying, "Your Majesty, please stay here for a long time. It's cold outside. I will report back to you as soon as I find out what's wrong."
Liu Che nodded and said, "Go ahead, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Although he was angry, he had no intention of taking over the matter.
The northern border country is Liu Tan, and the location here is destined to be a thorn in the eyes of the Xiongnu, so the Xiongnu will definitely find a way to get rid of him. The better Liu Tan does, the more likely the Xiongnu will wake up.
Sooner or later he would have to face these. When Emperor Wu of Han favored Liu Tan, he really favored him and helped him handle state affairs. But when Emperor Wu of Han knew that Liu Tan needed to be independent, he would not interfere too much.
R can take advantage of the fact that Xi is here to let Liu Tan do what he wants. No matter whether it is good or bad, he is still there to fight against R.
Liu Tan nodded, turned around and went out to say something to Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan's expression was very unpleasant, and there was a hint of coldness between his eyebrows: "You want to go back?"
Liu Tan responded, "Yes, we need to check it out. Let him go. Nothing will happen."
Lu Xuan lowered his head and thought, then said, "If that's true, then the Xiongnu might have taken action. They might even be in trouble. You go back first. I'll go tell His Majesty and lead him on patrol."
Liu Tan held his shoulders and said, "I'll send Wei Buyi to persuade you to stay here with my father. The value is obvious, otherwise it will easily alert the enemy."
Lu Xuan nodded: "Okay."
Liu Tan responded and said, "I'm leaving first, Xian-."
How could Lu Xuan not be worried? As soon as Liu Tan left, he secretly led his men to patrol an area about fifty miles north of Shuofang City.
At that moment, he thought a lot. If the Huns were to take action, they would definitely set up an ambush in advance. As long as they got the news that Liu Tan was poisoned, they would rush to attack the Northern Border Kingdom by surprise.
As for why Li Buyan didn't give any warning, Lu Xuan wasn't surprised at all, as Anti-R hadn't given any warning the last time either.
Although Li Buyan was certainly younger than Gongsun Aosi and more loyal to Liu Tan, he lacked experience and it was not surprising that he was negligent.
Naturally, Lu Xuan's actions could not be hidden from Liu Che. When he came to see Liu Che, Liu Che asked, "Has he sent anyone out?"
Lu Xuan said calmly, "I'm worried about the Xiongnu's plot. First, they want to disrupt the Northern Border, and second, they want to come for Your Majesty. Regardless of which one, I'll offer some...something good."
Liu Che nodded. Lu Xuan's reaction was quick and decisive, so he had no reason to be dissatisfied.
Although Liu Che was not very open about what he and Liu Tan had said, Lu Xuan was actually better than most of the Han generals in terms of leading troops and fighting.
If Liu Tan sent Wei Buyi or Zi Lai to lead him there, he might still be worried. But when he arrived at Lu Xuan's place, even if he himself did not go, Liu Che would be in trouble.
After all, Lu Xuan's reputation was written with the blood of his enemies, so it was very powerful.
Seeing that Liu Che was doing what he was supposed to do as if nothing had happened, Lu Xuandaijian≈烘≡鹗卦诹醭股肀噜 could not help but admire him and could not help but imitate him secretly.
His father died early, and no matter what he did over the years, it was fine when the people were small, but as time went by, even though the population of his own tribe did not increase, the number of captives increased a lot, which made him feel more and more exhausted.
At this time, he didn't want to make too many mistakes and learn from older men with more experience, and in this world, there would be no more suitable choice than Liu Che.
Liu Che knew it but did not stop it, and even occasionally gave Lu Xuan some advice.
He did this to divert his attention, otherwise he would not be able to help but talk about it.
At this time, Liu Tan had already rushed back to the palace. Did he find the palace empty and empty?
Bi Gao, who stayed in the palace, saluted and said, "Doctor R is treating the patient, but it is not yet clear whether the disease has been completely cured!
"Unsure if I can
Bigao explained, "It's just speculation at this point. These craftsmen didn't eat or drink during the firing process, yet they were poisoned. They only came into contact with sand, but there are no signs of poisoning on their hands, so we can't be sure."
Liu Tan asked, "What about the sand? Have you checked it?"
Bi Gaoxiao said: "We checked and found no signs of poison."
Liu Tan laughed: "So... could it be a ghost?"
Bi Gao immediately stopped talking. This matter was indeed too weird. Ren Xiao was in charge of the work, not caring about the sand, the kiln, or even all the utensils. However, these craftsmen were indeed unconscious now.
Liu Tan sat down and said, "Tell me the whole story in detail."
Bigao's words were a bit dry, and there was nothing much to say. He was smelting copper, and had not entered the kiln during the process, so he didn't know the situation inside. He was surprised that no one came out after waiting for a long time. Finally, he pushed the door open and fell on it.
Liu Tan couldn't help but jump when he heard this and asked, "Wait, you just said, the kiln is a confined space?"
Bigo nodded. "Because it's winter, they were afraid the wind would bring in things and affect the smelting, so they closed the door. And because they didn't know how high a temperature was needed to melt the sand, they tried it little by little. It wasn't hot at first, so..."
Liu Tanjue felt that he had found a way, so he interrupted him and asked, "What are these symptoms?"
Bi Gaoxiao said: "One is unconscious, one is somewhat conscious, and is vomiting constantly. There are also blisters on their bodies."
Coma, vomiting, blisters?
These three things combined made Liu Tan let go. He relaxed, leaned on the table, waved his hand and said, "Got it. No need to send someone to investigate. There's no poison."
Bi Gao was a little surprised: "How did your Highness know?"
Liu Tan said that this is a symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning. Although it is also poisonous, it is not as bad as Ting.
But he couldn't explain the carbon monoxide issue. He only said, "It's caused by the gases emitted when the coal is burned. Didn't I emphasize ventilation when we were mining before? It's basically the same. Oh, bring me what's left in the kiln."
Although the initial diagnosis was carbon monoxide poisoning, Liu Tan decided to wait and see for the sake of safety.
But before looking at the burning coal, he was a little confused: "Have you ever had such symptoms before?"
Liu talked about forging iron and even firing ceramics here, but he was not poisoned.
Miao Rui asked cautiously, "Your Highness just asked about it not being airtight. Could this be related to it?"
Liu Tan was stunned for a moment before he realized that forging iron was like forging iron. Because blacksmiths have a lot of exercise, they are prone to heatstroke if they are confined for a long time. Therefore, even in winter, they need to leave a breathable space. As for firing ceramics, although a confined space is also required, it is not necessary to be inside. As long as the temperature is controlled and the ceramic blank is placed inside, it will be heated.
So I had been trying to figure it out before, but ended up having problems burning the glass.
Liu Tan felt somewhat helpless and turned to Miao Rui, saying, "Send him to tell my father that he was hanged and not poisoned. It was a misunderstanding."
Miao Rui also breathed a sigh of relief. If it was really discovered that poisoning had occurred and they didn't discover it, the palace would probably be massacred.
This is not something Liu Tan can decide, after all, if the emperor is angry, blood will flow and pestles will float away.
After Miao Rui was sent out, Bigo also brought what was left from the burning of the coal.
Liu Tan took a look at those things and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. "Briquette coal? Or honeycomb coal?"
Bigao said, "Because honeycomb coal is impure and can't burn what Your Highness wants, we let them use raw coal."
Liu Tan: ...
This was probably a disaster that happened during the reign of Emperor Zengwu.
After Bigo trusted the letter, Liu Tanmiao blew and stirred the black viscous liquid.
Liu Tan took a handkerchief, dipped a little of the liquid in it and smelled it. The smell vaguely reminded him of a smell he had almost forgotten - gasoline.
He looked at the liquid on the tray and three words flashed through his mind: coal tar.
