In the morning, Hanshan and Xuzhou Prefecture Party listened to the news, but Li Li looked at the official document but was absent-minded.

Early this morning, he received news from Jiankang: Prince Xiao Dalian of Nanjun framed the regent minister and King Xiao Fan of Poyang, and the evidence was conclusive.

Xiao Dalian bribed the eunuch and spyed into the ban, instructing villains to poison and frame the vassal kings, and also endangered the life of the emperor.

The Empress Dowager thought of him as the emperor's uncle, so she was sentenced to death in prison (death of suicide).

The little tiger was killed by the old fox. This is one of the two endings, and Li Li was not wrong.

Thinking of the spirit of the previous emperor in heaven, he only sighed.

The king does not lose his ministers secretly, and the ministers secretly lose their official lives secretly. The prince of Nanjun Xiao Dalian was young and energetic, and was extremely dissatisfied with the King of Poyang's administration, so he almost wrote the seven big words "I want to deal with King of Poyang" on his face.

Isn’t it natural to be so impatient that I was killed by the “player” Poyang King Xiao Fan?

Li Li heard that when Xiao Fan was appointed Wei Qing in the palace, he often looked for trouble with the imperial guards on the night, and often beat them up, causing great movement.

The purpose is to let the emperor hear the wailing of the guards, and thus to know that the nephew is loyal to his duties.

When he was young, he was a drama master. Now he has been in his sixties this year and has become an old fox, which is difficult to deal with.

Xiao Dalian, a "power fight foolish white sweet" who has never experienced the ups and downs, excitedly rushed to step on the old fox when he saw that there were flaws, but ended up stepping on the landmine and being blown to pieces. What's so strange about it?

Li Li put down the official documents, drank tea, closed his eyes and rested.

Before that, he realized something was wrong.

Because his eyes and ears had discovered that the Poyang Palace had "blue water" from Le'an, Poyang.

The Poyang Palace transported "blue water" from Poyang to Beijing from all over the world, which was definitely not for bathing, but obviously it was a color-producing potion.

This thing is best to use now and then use it for more than ten days after it is ready, but it will precipitate over time. Its normal uses are only two:

1. Let’s make tricks when family and friends gather to revitalize the atmosphere.

2. Roughly distinguish between true and false honey.

In this era, there were some profiteers who made honey mixed with "sugar". However, powerful people like Poyang King had their own stable source of honey supply, and no one dared to deceive him.

There is no need for the King of Poyang to perform tricks to please the audience, so the King of Poyang has a bad motivation to play "blue water".

Li Li remained silent about this, waiting for the Little Tiger and the Old Fox to compete, and Zhang Ying also heard the "decisive battle against Taicheng" through other channels.

Now that the winner is decided, the King of Poyang won a game, the power of the imperial kings further weakened, and the two sides were close to balance.

One of the keys to determine the outcome: the color-producing potion, of course, was invented by Li Li.

This reagent was later called "Filin Reagent", and its ingredients were sodium hydroxide (adding some potassium sodium tartrate) and copper sulfate solution.

Feilin reagents can distinguish maltose and sucrose, because maltose and honey will turn red when encountering Feilin reagent, but sucrose will not.

In daily life, Feilin reagents can be used to roughly identify whether honey is fake, because "low-level profiteering" often adds cheap white sugar (sucrose) to honey.

Li Li learned this trick back then, but found it was useless because the skilled prodigal merchant would add maltose to honey and trick Feilin's reagent.

Now, he figured out the Feilin reagent prepared by himself, which was mainly used as a trick to make his sons happy.

At the beginning of the year, Xiao Qin came to visit and Li Li told the other party the secret of this "spell" that was just to share a "little life skill".

But I didn't expect that the old fox would fall into the shadows of willows and the prince of Nanjun Xiao Dalian was killed by the old fox.

In a sense, Li Li, who was standing by and watching Xiao Dalian's death, was considered an accomplice, and he watched the little tiger step on the trap without reminding him.

But no one else’s fault for this matter.

Because Xiao Dalian didn't know how to endure, or was unwilling to face a cruel fact: he didn't kill too much and really supported him as an adult to be the emperor.

The young emperor's arrival in the dynasty is in the interests of many powerful people.

This truth should have been thought of when Xiao Dalian was blocked from Jiankang City at the end of the autumn of the previous year.

But without learning from the lesson, he still charged forward this time when he returned to Beijing, trying to drive the Poyang King away from the position of the king of the regent and make a difference.

All the officials in the court, who is not an old fox who fights the power, how could he not see what Xiao Dalian wants to do?

Of course, I am not happy with the King of Poyang’s administration, but do they like Xiao Dalian to replace him?

If the little emperor has an accident one day, the most suitable candidate for succession is Xiao Dalian, so how could others actively cooperate with Xiao Dalian to attack the King of Poyang?

Xiao Dalian and Xiao Fan have a "fight" and the powerful are at most watching and will not help either side easily.

So Xiao Dalian was stupid because he charged forward and launched an attack directly, forming a situation with King Poyang, and he had no room for revolt.

But the people who gave him confidence and led him to charge ahead were behind the scenes.

Who would this person be the one who persuaded Xiao Dalian to withdraw his troops and return to Jingzhou the next year and made certain promises?

Li Li fell into deep thought.

Xiao Dalian was dead, but the power struggle in Jiankangtai City will only become more intense and bloody. The scenes that have happened many times over the past few hundred years will definitely repeat themselves.

All of this was destined from the moment the young crown prince was helped on the throne.

Those powerful people, even though they knew the hidden dangers of "the young master's suspicion of the country", and even though they knew that for hundreds of years, no young emperor could have been able to sit firmly on the throne, they still made such a choice.

What causes you sow and what results you get.

Li Li believes that as an adult, you must bear the consequences for your own choices.

For him, he chose to develop Le'an "water copper" and the tree planted now has more than copper among the large amount of fruits he has harvested.

He continued to read official documents, and officials sent information, and Wang was also accompanied by his fellow travelers.

The son-in-law, the son of the chief minister Wang Chong, often escorts to Wang Chong, so he often comes to listen to things and sends official documents. Seeing that he wanted to speak, Li Li stopped and seemed to have something to say, so he asked:

"The captain seems to be confused? Why not talk about it?"

Wang? I do have a question and want to ask Li Li for advice, because I can only ask Li Li to answer this question. After hearing Li Li's statement, he said: "Eunuch, the ink used by the public office is really magical."

Li Li nodded, signaled to the king to take his seat, and waited for the other party to sit down, saying, "Have the commander used this ink? How do you feel?"

"It is indeed conducive to writing official documents. This ink is so magical, and the color of the handwriting will change."

Wang sighed and said something about the new ink that the government has now forced to use.

This ink is made on the fly, using three raw materials and glue necessary for grinding ink. However, there is no ink black (carbon black) in the raw materials, and there is not even black raw materials.

But there are blue raw materials.

The three raw materials are melted with water and mixed together, and they will turn into a light blue color. Add appropriate amount of glue and stir, and write it on the paper. The handwriting is light blue-black.

Over time, the color of the handwriting will change from blue-black to black.

Therefore, if the words on paper are written too long (calculated in days), the colors of the handwriting are clearly different.

Then, if someone tampers with documents and archives and adds a few words to the completed content, the new characters and the "old characters" are obviously different in color, which can be easily seen.

"This ink is suitable for document and archive writing because of its color-changing characteristics, which can easily and effectively distinguish whether the text content has been tampered with."

Wang? He said this and was amazed at the magical ink produced in Poyang.

It is precisely because this ink has the characteristic of changing color over time that it is used as official documents and archive writing ink, and is widely used in government agencies in various places.

Since last year, among the ‘special products’ paid every year in Raozhou, there are raw materials for the ink preparation, but there are no other places.

Most of the official documents issued by the officials of each department have been written with new ink.

Wang? I really want to know how this kind of ink that does not use ink black (carbon black) is made, but it may be confidential, so he is not easy to ask.

Li Li smiled: "Actually, this is not a secret. Many people know about it in Poyang, because only Poyang Le'an can manage the raw materials for ink making."

He got up and took out a porcelain bottle from the small cabinet next to him. The cause he planted has now harvested the fruits. The fruits are full and tastes good.

"This ink, called blue-black ink, is cheap and has good sales. The preparation of its raw materials has become a major industry in Raozhou. Now, it will reveal its secrets to the Duwei."
