Wu Qingbo and Li Wei had received guidance from Zhu Yijun. Publicity and marketing were very important.
From the beginning, they had a high position. Naturally, they had to be appreciated by high-end people. Was there anyone more high-end than the royal family?
Of course not. Lee Myung-bak, the most powerful person in the royal family, was the most suitable person to do this.
Naturally, Li Wei readily accepted such matters that could earn him money. He quickly agreed. Thus, Li Wei came to the Imperial Palace to look for his daughter to give her a gift.
Seeing his daughter's reaction, Li Wei nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the effect was good.
In the next few days, Lee Myung-bak gave out a lot of glassware. All of a sudden, the whole capital was talking about this matter. The advertising effect was excellent.
When the glassware quietly became the talk of the nobles in the capital, the matter of giving the Empress Dowager a title was completely settled.
The two Empress Dowagers gave the title at the same time. The two titles were completely settled.
From this matter, it could be seen that Zhang Juzheng and Gao Chao's political skills were much better than Gao Gong's.
The whole thing was done perfectly. There was no smoke or fire. There was no quarrel.
In the palace, Lee Myung-bak was even more satisfied with Zhang Juzheng. The outer court and the inner court entered a period of peaceful coexistence.
What was Zhu Yijun doing these days?
He was making something. He was going to kill Feng Bao with a puddle of urine.
The glassware that he needed was finally delivered. He also got the spirit lamp.
The cow intestines were also prepared. Although they were not good as catheters, they were good enough to conduct gas.
Zhu Yijun prepared a mask and a simple gas mask carefully, because what Zhu Yijun was going to make was too dangerous.
There was a whole set of distillation equipment. Zhu Yijun first distilled some alcohol for himself, which was suitable to make the spirit lamp.
With the spirit lamp, Zhu Yijun was going to make something more powerful.
The urine that had been stored for several days evaporated under the sun. Although there were not many crystals left, the white crystals were carbamide.
Although there were more impurities, it was enough. After all, Zhu Yijun didn't want to make something too pure.
After the carbamide was heated, it would hydrolyze and produce ammonia gas. The ammonia gas would be introduced into the water, and Zhu Yijun would obtain ammonia water.
Although Zhu Yijun was very careful throughout the process, he still failed many times. Zhu Yijun also knew that it was impossible to mass produce these things in this era. He could only make a little bit in the laboratory.
The laboratory in the academy was newly built by Zhu Yijun, but there weren't many experimental materials.
The sulfur pyrite and other materials had long been confiscated. After he arrived at the academy, they were all taken away.
Although Zhu Yijun didn't know who had snitched on him, he felt that Feng Bao would be the culprit.
Now, all the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace wanted to please her mother, but what was the way to please her?
That was to snitch on him.
In his previous life, Lin Tian had encountered many such classmates and colleagues. He wanted to improve and perform, but he wasn't able to do so. However, they had a better way.
If he couldn't achieve anything, then he would step on others. If they were bad, then he would naturally do well.
Snitching on others, slandering others behind their backs. Sometimes, they would be scolded by their leaders, but they wouldn't even know why.
This kind of practice must be nipped in the bud. The leader of this practice was Feng Bao, and the first to be killed would be Zhang Hong.
Zhu Yijun put on the gas mask made from bamboo tubes. This thing had taken a lot of effort from Zhu Yijun.
He coated the inner walls of the bamboo tubes with isinglass and left an air vent. Then he placed lime soil, charcoal, sawdust, and cotton inside.
On top of the mask, the curved bamboo tubes were connected with isinglass to maintain airtightness. Wrapped in silk, it was made into a simple mask.
After fastening the belt and putting on the gas mask, Zhu Yijun placed the ammonia bottle to the side and prepared to start the crucial step.
He took out the flask and placed it in water. Then he heated the flask and added the ammonia water.
The other side of the tube was connected to a large bottle, which was also filled with water. Zhu Yijun needed to direct the heated steam into the water.
(Water stands for indescribable. Buddha says: Indescribable.)
Inside the water bottle, Zhu Yijun placed in water. Water was the water that Zhu Yijun had purified.
After heating it up, Zhu Yijun immediately ran out. He was afraid of inhaling the gas.
He hid outside the door and watched the heating process. Even after the heating process was completed, Zhu Yijun did not go in.
Knowing that the alcohol lamp had run out of alcohol, Zhu Yijun waited for it to be ventilated for a long time before he went in.
Since there wasn't much alcohol in the alcohol lamp, it didn't take long for it to burn.
After everything was done, Zhu Yijun ran into the room and picked up the water bottle with gloves. He placed it directly into the beaker and continued to heat it with the alcohol lamp.
After the heating process was completed, the crystal in the beaker was what Zhu Yijun wanted.
After heating it up, Zhu Yijun ran outside again. After the heating process was completed, Zhu Yijun came back.
At this time, there was a layer of white crystal on the surface of the beaker. It was very little, only a small layer.
Zhu Yijun swallowed his saliva and picked up the beaker with gloves. He used a small bamboo board to remove the white crystal and placed it directly into a porcelain bottle.
This was sodium cyanide, which was what Zhu Yijun wanted.
That gas was hydrogen cyanide. During World War II, Nazi Germany often used hydrogen cyanide as a murderous gas in the gas chamber.
Although it was ventilated and he was wearing a simple gas mask, Zhu Yijun still did not dare to be careless. He ran outside and hid. He would rather the experiment fail than breathe in a little bit of this thing. It would cost his life.
Although there wasn't much sodium cyanide, it was enough for Zhu Yijun.
If it wasn't stored in a solid state, he could just give the bottle of water to Feng Bao to drink. However, it was too unstable. Zhu Yijun did not dare to do that. It was possible that he would die before Feng Bao died.
After putting the thing away, Zhu Yijun was relieved. All that was left was to find an opportunity.
Zhu Yijun waited for the opportunity with peace of mind. Zhang Hong entered the capital first. After entering the capital, he naturally went to see Queen Dowager Li.
Now in the palace, Queen Dowager Li's influence was unparalleled. Her words were much more effective than the words of the emperor, Zhu Yijun.
In the past, Empress Dowager Li did not have the right to speak. Now, Saint Empress Dowager Li was different. She could listen to politics from behind the curtain.
Zhang Hong was forty-nine this year. He was not yet fifty. He had suffered a lot in Nanjing, so he looked a little old.
When Zhu Yijun saw Zhang Hong, he was kneeling on the ground. Although his face was a little sad, he did not cry like Feng Bao and the others.
Seeing Zhang Hong like this, Zhu Yijun was very happy. Compared to Feng Bao and the others, this was more sincere.
