The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Liu Sheng grabbed the rope and prepared to send a hen into the door first.

The hen actually passed through the space-time gate!

This made Liu Sheng happy.

According to his previous experience of passing through another space-time portal, if living creatures do not come into contact with him, they will be like hitting an invisible wall and will not be able to pass through the space-time portal.

Now that the hen has passed through the space-time gate under his push, it is highly likely that he also has the ability to pass through this space-time gate!
But then Liu Sheng felt something was wrong.

After the chicken was sent over, the rope connected to the chicken did not move.

He immediately tried to pull the rope, but found that until he straightened the rope, there was no sign of struggle on the other side.

He then pulled the rope straight back.

The chicken also followed the rope through the space-time gate, but it had no breath and was already dead!
Liu Sheng fiddled with the chicken and examined it carefully for a while, but could not find any signs of injury on the chicken's body.

"Did he die from lack of oxygen?"

Liu Sheng was at a loss for a moment.

So he called Yang Kuiwu, handed him the dead hen, and said, "Take this chicken to the military doctor and veterinarian to see if they can find out the cause of its death."

Yang Kuiwu was slightly stunned.

It's a bit strange to find out the cause of death of a chicken.

Not to mention military doctors, even military veterinarians mostly treat horses, so they probably wouldn't be able to tell the cause of death of this chicken, right?
Although he had a lot of thoughts in his mind, Yang Kuiwu still said nothing and just did what he was ordered to do.

Liu Sheng then used a rooster to conduct another experiment.

After the rooster was sent to the other side of the door, it still showed no signs of struggling. When it was pulled back, it was already a dead chicken.

Liu Sheng frowned.

'It seems that life was lost when passing through this space-time portal.'

'Xiong Mingyuan didn't state in the Golden Book how he couldn't bring living creatures through the space-time gate, but he must have done relevant experiments. He was a man from the late Ming Dynasty, and he might even have used humans for experiments!'

'If so, this is probably why he was unwilling to state it in the Golden Book. But among the secrets passed down orally by Emperor Xiong, there is probably relevant information.'

Thinking of this, Liu Sheng used a second hen for the experiment.

This time, he grabbed the hen's feet and sent it into the space-time gate, but after its front half passed through the space-time gate, he pulled it back.

In the end, the hen still died.

The kind without any scars.

"Send another chicken!" Liu Sheng ordered.

Soon, the fourth chicken was delivered.

This time, Liu Sheng tied its feet, grabbed the chicken's neck, sent its lower body over first, and then pulled it back.

It was discovered that although the chicken was still alive, its legs seemed to be dead and its lower body was paralyzed.

"As expected, if a living thing passes through this space-time gate, it will die."

Liu Sheng sighed secretly.

Then he thought, 'I send living creatures like this, what if I go there in person?'

For a moment, he was at a loss for words.

He was also glad that he hadn't had any thought before and had just rushed through rashly.

What he can be sure of now is that compared to the space-time gate he encountered, this space-time gate is much more dangerous - you know, the space-time gate he encountered does not kill living things, it only prohibits living things from passing through.

Liu Sheng asked someone to find a few more plants for experimentation and found that the situation was similar.

The experiment was stopped. At this time, Yang Kuiwu came back and said, "Your Majesty, the military doctor and veterinarian were unable to determine the cause of death of the chicken. It is estimated that it was most likely suffocated."

He suffocated to death.

If a chicken head can cause suffocation, can just sending chicken legs also cause suffocation?
Liu Sheng was unhappy and disappointed with the military doctors and veterinarians who were accompanying the army.

But he didn't get angry and punish them because the task he was given was an unusual one. If he punished the military doctor or veterinarian for this, it would be considered absurd.

He stood up and walked out of the secret room, saying, "Have someone move all the gold, silver, and weapons out of the side hall, then close the bronze door and send a team of guards and a squad of Tiger Guards to guard it. No one is allowed to enter without my order."

"As ordered!"

After watching the bronze door close with his own eyes, Yang Kuiwu arranged guards, and Liu Sheng finally came out of the mausoleum.

Liu Yu was waiting outside, already getting a little anxious.

Seeing Liu Sheng coming out, he immediately came forward and asked, "Father, what's the situation inside?"

Liu Sheng would not hide too much from Liu Yu, and said: "There is indeed a time-space door inside..."

When Liu Sheng explained the situation inside, Liu Yu said, "If this is the case, father can't just go there easily."

Liu Sheng smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

···
Xiangjing.

While Liu Sheng was visiting the tomb of the Great Chu Emperor Taizu in Tianmu Mountain and testing the properties of the space-time gate with chickens, another big drama was taking place here.

Inside Chengtian Hall.

Emperor Jiahua faced the only two remaining cabinet ministers and the important officials of various ministries and agencies and said in a firm tone: "I have made up my mind, so please stop trying to persuade me!"

"Your Majesty!" Xu Wei cried out in grief, and fell to his knees. "Even if Your Majesty passes the throne to the Crown Prince, where can he escape to? Whether he goes to Hangzhou, Zhejiang, or Chengdu, Sichuan, he will only be two years later in facing the bandits."

"Once the Great Chu is destroyed, the history of our Great Chu will be compiled by the traitors. Even if Your Majesty abdicates and becomes the Emperor, you will only be branded as 'irresponsible'..."

"Enough!" Emperor Jiahua stood up and shouted angrily, "Xu Wei, I respect you as a cabinet minister, so I tolerate you again and again. Now I just want to abdicate and let someone else take my place, but you are here to make irresponsible remarks and keep chattering. Do you really think I won't punish you?"

Xu Wei's face became even more sad. He suddenly took off his official hat and said, "I would rather be punished by your majesty than be a minister of a fallen country!"

Emperor Jiahua was so angry that he trembled.

He felt that Xu Wei had clearly seen that the Chu State of Runing had been badly defeated and could no longer stop the enemy's advance, so he took the opportunity to resign and get rid of the Chu officials.

He won't let Xu Wei succeed.

So he shouted, "Come here, take off Xu Wei's official hat, strip him of his official uniform, and throw him into the Ministry of Justice's prison!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, many important officials in the palace knelt down and advised and pleaded for mercy.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xu is innocent, why put him in jail?"

"Lord Xu is also devoted to the country, so he made a frank remonstrance. Please calm down, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, the court is in great need of talent right now. Without Lord Xu, the government will be even more chaotic, and it will be even more difficult to stop the bandits!"

"···"

Seeing so many important officials pleading for Xu Wei, Emperor Jiahua became even more angry. He shouted to the imperial guards in the palace: "Didn't you hear what I said? Strip Xu Wei of his official uniform and throw him into prison!"

The imperial guards in the palace were startled and acted quickly.

Just like that, Xu Wei was stripped of his official uniform in public and taken away.

After his anger subsided a little, Emperor Jiahua looked at the Minister of Rites with a bad look, "The Ministry of Rites will select an auspicious day today, and within three to five days, I will pass the throne to the prince. If you deliberately delay, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After saying this, Emperor Jiahua no longer wanted to deal with these important officials, so he stood up, waved his sleeves, and returned to the harem. (End of this chapter)
