Tang Dynasty: Father, if you don't rebel, I will!

It must be said that Prince Wei, Li Tai, truly possesses the abilities of a super academic genius. This good younger brother participated in all the research-related things produced by Li Chengqian's golden finger nearly ten years ago.

In later generations, that would definitely be considered an all-around, versatile talent.

They are capable of scientific research, management, combat, and leading a region.

"Hahaha, good, as expected of my smartest younger brother. Compared to you, the third brother and the others are not even worthy of carrying your shoes!" Li Chengqian looked at the experimental report sent by Li Tai in his hand.

In this report, Li Tai not only mentioned the conclusion that water vapor can produce new gases by heating copper pipes.

Furthermore, without Li Chengqian's guidance, he experimented with using iron pipes to heat water vapor.

The results showed that the latter produced more of this gas and was more efficient.

Based on this point alone, even if his other brothers were here, Li Chengqian would still dare to say such things without any hesitation.

He laughed.

He highly praised Li Tai, who looked exhausted but frowned and seemed to be deep in thought.

"Qingque, Qingque, you truly deserve to be the sage of my royal family. After mastering thunder, you are now going to master the atmosphere. Excellent! Excellent!"

"I want the historians to record all of this in detail, and I want to build a statue and a temple for you!"

Li Chengqian's excited words sounded increasingly absurd to those around him.

Even Li Tai couldn't help but come to his senses and helplessly pulled his emperor brother, who was pacing back and forth excitedly in the hall as if he wanted to fly to the heavens, back to his senses.

"Brother, please don't rush, let's sit down and talk slowly..."

He sighed.

He pointed to a line in the report to Li Chengqian: "Recently, the things I have been studying have been too complicated. Although we have reached conclusions on many things, there are still many things that cannot be explained in terms of their fundamental principles."

"Take the light air that my brother mentioned, for example. Although it has been prepared and tested to be light and easier to float, why does the iron pipe suddenly turn into a magnet?"

As Li Tai spoke, his brows furrowed deeply again.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile like an aunt. If this kid were replaced with an old man with white hair, he would really look like an old scholar.

He coughed twice to bring the other person back to their senses.

Instead of answering directly, he pointed to the document in his hand, which described the reaction principle and process through a large amount of text, and asked with a smile.

"Qingque, don't you think that the more words you write in this report, the more cumbersome it becomes?"

"I think you should simplify the description of this reaction process, for example... by using special characters to represent certain elements..."

Li Chengqian spoke patiently and persuasively, but Li Tai still seemed somewhat confused.

He then took out a pen and paper and wrote a line of characters on a blank sheet of paper.

This is a chemical equation that middle school students in later generations will all know.

Iron and water react in a high-temperature oxidizing environment to produce iron(II,III) oxide and hydrogen gas.

The so-called English alphabet does exist in this world, but it is actually Latin that has not yet undergone Germanic evolution, and the vast majority of its letters can be traced back to their origins.

It's probably just that the shapes of the Latin letters that were preserved by the Ministry of Rites are somewhat different.

Li Tai picked up the paper and stared blankly at the strange combination of Latin letters, Arabic numerals, and Tang Dynasty operation symbols.

Li Chengqian had no choice but to give this scholarly sage of the Tang Dynasty a dose of time-traveling knowledge.

Fortunately, his younger brother has an exceptional ability to comprehend and understand. Even though he doesn't yet understand the meaning of many things, the Tang Dynasty has plenty of time and resources to support him in completing his research.

"Water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen, specifically in a ratio of two hydrogens to one oxygen, which is what I mean by writing this... These characters are all derived from Latin abbreviations from foreign languages. In academic research, writing out the characters of our Great Tang Dynasty is too cumbersome. Using characters to express meaning makes it much easier..."

"You can try going back and researching how to turn water into these two gases. You've already separated hydrogen; next, you can try separating oxygen..."

.......

"Brother, what did you do to Fourth Brother? Lately, he seems to be possessed; it's like he can't hear you when you talk to him..."

A few days later, Gao Yang found Li Chengqian with great surprise and doubt.

She remains in Chang'an for two reasons: firstly, Baikal County does not require her management for the time being; and secondly, she is there to seek opportunities and, incidentally, to wait for the fleet returning from Australia.

The Heavenly Crafts Bureau was a place she frequented.

Li Chengqian smiled faintly, but did not say anything more about the matter. Instead, he asked the other party, "You came to see me just for this?"

When the conversation turned to business, Gao Yang's pretty face flushed slightly, and then she quickly adopted a flattering expression.

Grabbing Li Chengqian's arm, she said, "Brother!"

The deliberately drawn-out ending of the note, coupled with that affected, high-pitched voice, sent shivers down Li Chengqian's spine. He shook the other person off with a look of disgust.

"Go away, get to the point, behave yourself, you've scared away all my fish!"

Gao Yang glanced at the Emperor's swim bladder, which had been banished to the cold palace by the fish. The float was motionless, and she couldn't help but purse her lips.

However, he finally revealed his purpose: "Brother, since you have agreed to let me become king, why have you not issued the decree yet?"

Li Chengqian raised his fishing rod, pinched a loach into the bait, and cast the line.

"call out......."

"Is it because I don't issue the decree? The court and the cabinet are arguing fiercely over the issue of the titles! I can't do anything about it either, since it seems that everyone is right."

It is rare, if not unprecedented, for a princess to be granted the title of king.

The decision regarding the title of king naturally required careful consideration. The cabinet dared not oppose Emperor Li Chengqian's wishes, but on this matter of bestowing a title, it was the ministers who needed to come up with a result.

Gao Yang's pretty face immediately fell: "Brother, then, then why don't you just appoint me to any title? It doesn't matter if it's the Northern King or the Snow King. Anyway, all the court officials will think I'm just messing around, so they definitely won't object."

Li Chengqian: "......"

He took a deep breath and resisted the urge to beat his sister.

Return the Snow King?

You deserve it too!

After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke: "Any title will do?"

Gao Yang nodded, then added cautiously, "Don't give me any bad names like 'King Ai' or 'King Dao'!"

Li Chengqian nodded.

The following day, the cabinet received an imperial edict from Emperor Tianwu, Li Chengqian.

Russian King?

This unprecedented title in Chinese history caused Fang Xuanling and his cabinet to momentarily freeze.

"This, Eunuch Wang, what does the title 'E' mean?"

"Your Majesty, are you perhaps referring to the Prince of E?"

The term "Russia" doesn't sound like a good name at all, since in articles it's often used to express the idea that Russia's existence is short-lived.
