., the fastest update struggles in the latest chapter of the Tang Dynasty!

Interpretation? What to explain?

Isn't it just that you can't get ambergris, so let's have some spiritual victory?

In front of the public, in front of the two beloved women, being so squeezed by Wang Ju, Cui Gengzhen couldn't get off the stage.

He was annoyed and said angrily: "This king's status is noble, and your Wang Ju is just an advocate, no official or position, what qualifications do you have to explain to this king?" Don't quit yet! ”

"You ......" Wang Ju was said to be red.

After Tang Long's coup, Li Longji did not fail to do it for Wang Juguan. But his scheming is really difficult to talk about on the table, so he can only give him some false positions of four or five grades.

Wang Ju was arrogant and wanted to help Li Longji ascend the throne as the emperor. He was unwilling to compromise, so he still stayed by Li Longji's side in white, made suggestions, and regarded himself as a white-clothed minister.

Now that he has been caught by Cui Geng, he directly takes him as a lucky advocate, Wang Ju is really angry and hateful, but it is still difficult to refute.

Li Longji hurriedly stood up for him and said: "Wang Ju's identity is not enough, the identity of this prince is always enough, right?" I also want to ask the king for advice. ”

Cui Geng said a little scoundrelly: "Of course the identity of the prince is enough." However, this king did not hold the position of the crown prince and the prince, and he was not in his position and did not seek his own government, and he was not obliged to teach the prince. ”

Li Longji chuckled lightly and said, "I'm afraid these words are deliberately prevaricated by King Ji without any suitable reason, right?" ”

"That's just your own thoughts, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Definitely." Li Longji said firmly: "Who doesn't know that Princess Taiping and King Ji have a close relationship? Now Princess Taiping is sitting beside you, willing to exchange the jade leaf crown for these twenty catties of ambergris. If some ambergris is nothing to blame, how can Princess Taiping explain what she did? ”

Cui Gengdao: "As the saying goes, I am happy that money is hard to buy." It is not surprising that the public director spends several times the price to buy something inexplicable. ”

Li Longji didn't argue, and said with a smile: "Okay, King Ji is eloquent, and this king even admires it." It's just that...... Do you believe these words? Ha ha! ”

Hahaha~~

Some officials who had taken refuge in Li Longji laughed along.

Even the others, looking at Cui Geng, were also full of disappointment and disdain.

Originally, Cui Geng's dead duck had a hard mouth, and his words were too strong.

Cui Geng's face couldn't hold back at that time.

His mind was racing, he was anxious, and said loudly: "What? King Linzi doesn't believe it? Do you dare to make a bet with this king? ”

"Bet on what?"

"Just bet on whether these ambergris are really nothing. If this king gives a suitable reason, and everyone agrees, how about you lose this ambergris to this king? ”

"What if everyone doesn't agree with King Ji's reason?"

Princess Taiping had infinite confidence in Ai Lang and said, "Then the jade leaf crown of the main palace will lose to you." ”

Li Longji said: "Okay, let's make a decision!" This king doesn't believe it, no matter how much you Cui Erlang can pull it, can you still reverse black and white? ”

"Then please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to listen to me."

Then, Cui Geng got up, looked at Kailadis and said, "Ambergris, in the legend of my Tang Dynasty, is the saliva of the divine dragon flowing on the sea and condensing. In Persia, that's not the case, is it? ”

Kairadis did not know what kind of medicine was sold in Cui Geng's gourd, and replied truthfully: "In my Persia, this thing is called amber incense." As for how the amber fragrance is produced, there are many opinions. Some people say it has something to do with beeswax, some say it has something to do with volcanic eruptions at sea, and some say it has something to do with guano......"

Cui Geng waved his hand and interrupted, "No need to say any more. The rumors about the birth of ambergris, whether it is the Tang Dynasty or you Persia, are not correct. ”

"The king of Naji thinks ......"

Cui Geng said: "This thing is actually produced in a big fish called sperm whale. When this large fish eats something that is difficult to digest, it will produce a waxy substance in its intestines, which envelops the indigestible thing, and over time, ambergris is formed. The ambergris accumulates more and more, and the sperm whale is unbearable and will vomit out the ambergris. ”

"What? Ambergris is not ambergris, but something from the intestines of a whale vomiting? ”

"That'...... Isn't ambergris equivalent to whale dung? ”

"Dare to love everyone, you are smelling feces!"

"Really?"

……

As soon as Cui Geng's words came out, people suddenly made an uproar, and under the psychological effect, the smell of ambergris didn't seem to smell so good.

Li Longji said: "King Ji's words, where can you see this? ”

"There are no classics, this is the result of Lin Zhixiang, a maritime merchant in Quanzhou, who has visited for many years, and informed the official."

"Hmph, there is no evidence, not enough evidence!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't worry, this king has a second conclusion here." Cui Geng continued: "Have you ever seen ambergris of different colors? There are brown, gray, and white. ”

"Exactly."

"Ambergris taken directly from the sperm whale's intestines is useless, because at this time the ambergris has not yet fermented and matured, and it has to vomit out on its own. Moreover, ambergris is dark black when it is first vomited out, and it cannot be used. It turns brown after soaking in seawater for ten years, and is barely usable at this point. After soaking in seawater for 50 years, it is gray and is medium-grade ambergris. Only when it is immersed in seawater for more than 100 years, the impurities are exhausted, and it turns white, which is the top product of ambergris. So ......"

Cui Geng pointed to the ambergris on several cases and said: "This twenty-pound ambergris is really a barely usable low-grade ambergris." What to say priceless...... It's really ridiculous and generous. ”

Things have developed so far, Li Longji really has a feeling of lifting a stone and hitting his own feet.

It turned out that he was squeezing Cui Geng, but now it's good, Cui Geng said that the origin of ambergris has a nose and eyes. Is ambergris the poop of sperm whales? What kind of treasure is that? The story of convincing the Tibetan people to get the treasure is greatly discounted.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "This is also what Lin Zhixiang told you, hum, it's still an empty mouth!" ”

"It's not unfounded." Cui Geng said: "There are many people sitting there who have smelled ambergris of different colors. Let's think about it carefully, whether the color is different, the fragrance is different. The lighter the color, the purer the fragrance? ”

Everyone thought about it carefully, and many people bowed slightly.

Cui Geng took advantage of the victory to pursue and continued: "In fact, this king's statement that ambergris is really nothing, not based on the above two points. The real reason is that although this fragrance is rare, it is not only available by burning ambergris. ”

"What? What does Erlang mean ......" Princess Taiping's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but exclaim.

In the final analysis, the aphrodisiac power of ambergris is more of a psychological effect. But its smell is liked by men, women and children. What woman wouldn't want lavender, if possible?

However, the production of ambergris is too small, and even with the power of Princess Taiping, there is not enough ambergris to be used as a consumable. The significance of the good news provided by Cui Geng is really no matter how described.

Cui Geng nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I have a lot of recipes, and you can get a similar aroma when you burn it." ”

"What the hell is the formula? Belch...... Let's talk slowly when we go back. ”

"Actually, you don't have to keep it a secret." Cui Geng said very generously: "I'll talk about one side now: one or two sandalwood, five coins of frankincense, and four taels of cold water stones, calcined with fine powder, pear juice and cakes." If you don't believe it, you can verify it in person. ”

Since Cui Geng had already said it, Princess Taiping immediately ordered someone to take high-quality sandalwood, frankincense and other things, and prepare them on the spot.

An hour later, the cigarette curled.

"It smells so good!"

"It's really like ambergris!"

"There's also a little sweetness, it seems to be more lovely than ambergris."

……

Ambergris is too rare, from the Song Dynasty to the Ming and Qing dynasties, people have thought of a lot of ways to copy. The formula Cui Geng said is one of the classic formulas.

Of course, this synthetic fragrance is actually not as good as real ambergris.

However, in the first place, the ambergris of Kairadis is really inferior. Second, after everyone heard that ambergris was whale dung, under the psychological effect, they all felt that this kind of blended fragrance was more to their own appetite.

Cui Geng smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you think?" ”
