Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

"That's not the case. There are ways to avoid being struck by lightning. The alchemist in my uncle's mansion said that some of them firmly believed that immortality was against the will of heaven and that they had to face the challenge head-on, and lightning was the only way to connect heaven and earth. So many people chased after lightning. No one came back to tell us whether they became immortals or not. But as for lightning, over time, people have come to the conclusion that any high place will attract lightning. Any dry place will have frequent thunder and lightning. So it's normal for the imperial city to be struck by lightning. It has nothing to do with who the emperor is."

Zhang Xin was given a lesson on becoming an immortal and cultivating the Tao, which she found quite interesting.

Her own experience actually shows that some fantastic ideas may not just be imagination and personal pursuit.

She can even meet the Merit Bureau.

Then it is not surprising that some people can achieve enlightenment and become immortals.

"Hiss - today Dad read out a memorial about 10,000 monks and Taoists gathering in the capital! Are they taking advantage of the dryness of the capital and hoping to get struck by lightning?"

Zhu Gaochi finally found a reason for monks and Buddhas to gather in the capital.

"I don't know why the monks came. The Taoist priest said that monks cultivate their next life, while they cultivate this life. We have different philosophies and cannot work together."

Zhang Xin shook her head to indicate that she didn't understand.

"Maybe because of Yao Guangxiao?"

Zhu Gaochi guessed that after Yao Guangxiao was named the Imperial Master, the monks' lives in China seemed to have become better. Naturally, he wanted to pay a visit to Yao Guangxiao.

"Maybe."

Zhang Xin doesn't intend to comment on things she's unsure of.

"Did Uncle Wu's people tell me how to avoid lightning?"

Zhu Gaochi returned to the topic.

"He did, but he wasn't sure. He wanted to try it like Wen Beijiao did. One of their predecessors failed to ascend when he chased thunder. When the thunder struck, it felt like something went through his body, and then it slipped into the ground. For more than half a year, anything that came close to him would fly up. Later, it returned to normal. They discussed that maybe the power of the thunder couldn't be retained, but it could be released. For example, the Chiwen on the roof of the palace was a tradition in the old days. Now it's time to keep up with the times."

Zhang Xin briefly explained what the alchemist said.

"The house was struck by lightning and caught fire because there was too much thunder power left. How do they want to try to remove the thunder power from the house?"

Zhu Gaochi understood.

"Yes. So we need to build a few lightning-attracting towers near the experimental vaccination site in the northern suburbs of Wen. I came here specifically to ask for Dad's permission."

Zhang Xin nodded.

"Build a few high towers? Are they going to attract the lightning themselves?"

For the first time, Zhu Gaochi felt that the alchemists were all warriors.

"Maybe. They didn't say how they were going to attract the lightning."

Zhang Xin shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.

She always felt that as long as the people below were willing to do things, they should not interfere with their own ideas.

She is happy to support these ideas.

Even if there is no result in the end.

"Okay, got it."

Zhu Gaochi knew clearly that the reason why his fifth uncle approached Xu to talk about this matter was that he wanted to get the money from his private treasury.

No matter what the court does, as long as it involves court expenses, it will be very difficult.

Uncle Wu has finally become a little smarter now and knows how to do things in a roundabout way.

"Because of this, mother said that the renovation of Jinshen Hall will be postponed."

Zhang Xin said one more thing.

"Okay, we can repair it anytime. The front can still be used, but it's a bit of an eyesore. By the way, how's the investigation into Zou Ji going?"

Zou Ji was from Prince Zhu Gaochi's mansion, so Zhu Di let Zhu Gaochi decide for himself how to deal with him.

Before taking any action, Zhu Gaochi first borrowed people from the East Factory from Zhang Xin to follow Zou Ji.

"Wei Guan said that Zou Ji's family had tens of thousands of books...but they had no extra money."

In fact, Zhang Xin didn't need to check to know that this guy is really an honest person.

In his previous life, after the fire in the Forbidden City, Zou Ji also submitted a memorial of thousands of words, pointing out the shortcomings of current politics.

But Zhu Di did not do anything to him and even promoted him in the winter of the same year.

Unfortunately, this person was not so lucky and died the next year.

There was not much cash in the family, only a pile of books, and it was Zhu Gaochi who paid for his funeral.

"That's good. Then let's make him the Right Junior and Imperial Tutor. Dad has demoted or executed the officials who were imprisoned by the Censor. At least we have to give everyone some hope."

Zhu Gaochi thought about it and made a decision.

~~~~

When Zhu Di had almost finished teaching a lesson to all the officials in the court.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui returned.

Zhu Zhanji also came back.

The three uncles and nephews naturally went to see Zhu Di and Xu first.

After the meeting, the three of them went straight to Zhu Gaochi's yard without any delay.

"Really can't see?"

Zhu Gaoxu was very thin. When he entered the room and saw that Zhang Xin did not look sad at all, he asked immediately.

"I can't really see. It's just, pitch black."

Zhang Xin smiled.

"These eyes don't look broken! They are so bright and clear!"

Zhu Gaosui almost wanted to move over and pry open Zhang Xin's eyes to take a closer look.

"I just don't know when I'll get better. The doctor didn't say it's incurable."

Zhang Xin could hear the concern in the words of her two brothers-in-law and said something to comfort them.

"Bullshit, that's not possible! The imperial physicians in this palace can check the pulse every day, but they can't give a definite answer as to whether the patient is healthy or not!"

Zhu Gaosui was furious when he heard this.

Guo gave birth to her first child in the palace, which took half a day. Later, she went out to sea with him and gave birth to her second child at sea, which came out in half an hour!

The person on the boat was just a midwife!

"It's okay. The imperial physician in the palace can't figure it out. I'll go find one overseas for my sister-in-law!"

Zhu Gaoxu is a few years older now and is not as jumpy as before. He only gives feasible suggestions.

"That's really a big help. You're truly brothers!"

Zhu Gaochi walked forward and hugged Zhu Gaoxu with relief.

"Get out of the way!!! You haven't lost any weight over the years, Boss! I should be nice to my sister-in-law. I don't care if you're blind!"

Zhu Gaoxu pushed Zhu Gaochi away angrily.

Zhang Xin is much more generous than Zhu Gaochi.

He and Zhu Gaosui wanted to go out to sea, and Zhang Xin gave them more than just verbal support.

That is all-round support without any blind spots!

The best ship, the best boatmen, the best weapons and equipment, and they were short of being equipped to the very last detail.

"Get lost, get angry just by looking at you!"

Zhu Gaochi was originally very happy, but as soon as Zhu Gaoxu said this, he started to drive people away.

“I won’t leave!”

Zhu Gaosui also came over to confront Zhu Gaochi.

"Oh, mother is angry with you two just to make me angry!"

Zhu Gaochi subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhang Xin, hoping that Zhang Xin would agree with him, but got no response. Then he realized that there was really something wrong with Zhang Xin's eyes.

During this period, Zhang Xin was still able to do everything by herself and did not neglect the things she was supposed to take care of, so he didn't have any real sense that there was something wrong with Zhang Xin's eyes.

This time, Zhu Gaochi was suddenly a little confused.

Zhang Dahua, who had always cooperated well with him, is no longer seen.

He covered his mouth and tears streamed down his face.
