My Daming New Empire

Zhu Di stared at him for a long while, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt like himself when he was young, and the dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared.

"Tell me, what is the purpose of going to the room today? I can't tell you a thing or two, and I might beat you with a board."

Zhu Zhanji leaned on the back of his chair and said with a smile: "Why would my grandson threaten grandpa by going to the room? It's just an occasional thought, and I have the idea to solve the lightning strike and fire in the palace. So I went to the room to check one or two."

Since the past dynasties, due to the huge building of the imperial palace and the high terrain of the main hall, whenever there is lightning and thunder, it is often the main target of being struck by lightning.

In fact, it is very simple to solve this problem, that is, to install a lightning rod.

It's just that people in this era don't have this concept, let alone dare to fight against the sky, so they have always been passive.

Zhu Di asked in surprise, "Is this really true?"

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "How can my grandson make fun of this matter? The Yongfu Palace was burned, and my grandson has been thinking about it. Yesterday, I checked the incidents of lightning injuries in various places, but my grandson discovered a pattern."

Zhu Di was a little curious. "What rule?"

"Lightning can not only hurt people directly, but also hurt people through objects. Wooden bricks and tiles can't guide lightning and are often blasted, but when they encounter metal objects, they often dissipate invisible."

Zhu Di had never thought about the links involved, and couldn't help asking: "Then what do you get?"

"Since some things can guide lightning and some can't, why don't we install objects that can guide lightning on things that can't. For example, in this palace hall, just install an iron bar that guides lightning on the roof. into the ground."

Zhu Di just felt incredible. "Ray can also be controlled by people!"

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Anyway, it doesn't cost much, let my grandson try it. If it works, my Daming Palace will not be disturbed by thunder and lightning in the future."

"If it is useful, those temples and the towers of Taoist temples will also be free from thunder and lightning in the future."

Zhu Zhanji curled his lips and said nothing.People in this era are deeply obsessed with gods and gods, and it is not something that he can turn around casually by himself.

The transformation of ideas is more difficult than the transformation of the country.

Even 600 years later, the influence of religion on the world is still amazing, let alone now.

The eunuchs entered the hall with their lunch. While eating, Zhu Zhanji told Zhu Di about the lightning strike incidents he had investigated in various places. He told these stories as stories, and Zhu Di listened with gusto.

After finishing lunch with Zhu Di, it is the cold winter months, the days are short and the nights are long, so Zhu Di does not take a lunch break.

Zhu Zhanji chatted with him about the Northern Expedition for a while, and Quan should relieve him of his boredom, and then he left when he was going to the West Palace to deal with state affairs.

As his biggest reliance in this world, Zhu Zhanji was close to Empress Xu before. After Empress Xu passed away in Yongle five years ago, Zhu Zhanji focused his energy on getting along with Zhu Di.

After Empress Xu passed away, Zhu Di was depressed for a long time, and Zhu Zhanji accompanied him to eat every day, which formed a habit.

No matter how busy they are, as long as the two of them are in the palace, they will definitely have dinner together.

Even if Zhu Di entertained ministers and foreign guests, Zhu Zhanji would accompany him.

The power of habit is powerful, no matter how noisy Zhu Gaoxu is now, he can't compare with Zhu Zhanji's status in Zhu Di's heart.

Even his cheap father, the prince Zhu Gaochi, often relied on him to maintain the relationship with Zhu Di.

However, Zhu Zhanji knew that he was immature to contact ministers now, so except for nobles, relatives, and eunuchs, these people can be contacted casually, and foreign ministers must not be contacted.

Like why his teacher Xie Jin was imprisoned in Jinyiwei, it was not because he came to the capital to report on work while serving as a foreign minister.It was Zhu Di's first Northern Expedition at that time, and when he was not in Yingtian, Xie Jin reported to Zhu Gaochi, who supervised the country.

Even though he is the prince, even if he is the supervisor of the country, the power of the emperor is absolutely not allowed to be touched, even if you are the heir.

Because of this trivial matter, Zhu Gaochi was reprimanded, and Xie Jin was put in prison.

If Zhu Zhanji hadn't rescued him because of his teacher's affection, he would have been stuffed into a snowdrift by Ji Gang and frozen to death.

Therefore, he has been getting along with Zhu Di on the basis of the love between grandparents and grandchildren, making the love between grandparents and grandchildren greater than that of the emperor and grandson. Sometimes even if he intentionally makes him angry, he will feel warm afterwards.

Zhou You was good at manipulating people's hearts in modern times, and he only needed to use some small tricks to achieve success in ancient times.

Chapter 14 Deserters (ask for a recommendation ticket)

Zhu Zhanji went out the back left door, guarding outside Yiqingzi, Xuanzhen, and the limping Yu Xian greeted him.

Seeing Yu Xian, Zhu Zhanji was a little ashamed, and said: "Go back and rest for a few days, and when the injury is healed, I will reward you well."

He bowed and said with a smile: "It is the duty of a slave to prevent disasters for His Highness, and I dare not take credit for it. The slave's injury looks serious, but it is actually a minor injury."

Zhu Zhanji led the way and left with a half-smile. "I'm going to the farm outside the city. Can you ride a horse? Let Li Liang and the others follow."

Yu Xian didn't dare to be brave anymore, no matter how minor the injury was, it was still his butt, so he didn't have to think about riding a horse.

Both Yiqingzi and Xuanzhen couldn't help smiling, and followed behind Zhu Zhanji.

Every time Taisun dealt with them, it always made people feel extremely uncomfortable but could not express their grievances.But it's still comforting to see him take on other people.

Although His Highness Taisun is only 16 years old, his skills in winning people's hearts and controlling power are astonishingly high.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji turned around and said: "Turn back and let the little girl in your room leave, Gu's reputation is not something you can use to ruin."

Yu Xian was frightened and knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said, "I obey..."

Yu Xian has no other faults with this person, but he likes to play tricks on others. In the eighth year of Yongle, Jin Kuo was transferred to Ningbo as the eunuch guard.

Although this guy doesn't work anymore, he likes to engage in some fake phoenix and phoenix activities.

Looking for the right food, there are many in the palace, and Zhu Zhanji doesn't bother to care.But he likes to play role-playing, and he also likes to force the little maid, which is a bit too dirty.

I have been a virgin all my life, but he spends more time playing than myself.

Leaving Miyagi from Donghua Gate, Li Liang, who was running ahead, had already arranged his people and horses and waited on the sidewalk between Donghua Gate and Dong'an Gate.

Several eunuchs waited for Zhu Zhanji to put on a mask, knee pads, and gloves.Only then did they mount their horses one after another.

Li Liang arranged the guard of honor, and everyone rode out of Dong'anmen to the farm that Zhu Zhanji was rewarded when he was 12 years old.

Taisun Honor Guard is a team of Yubayashi Zuowei assigned by Zhu Di to Zhu Zhanji, with 60 people, divided into three groups to accompany Zhu Zhanji.In addition to 12 internal servants, one long-term follower, and two personal bodyguards, at least 35 people followed Zhu Zhanji to protect him.

Xuanzhen and Yiqingzi have been by Zhu Zhanji's side since they were six years old, and now both of them have passed on their kung fu to Zhu Zhanji.Although Zhu Zhanji is not as good as them in their prime of life in terms of strength, they are not far behind.

The two Taoist priests didn't know where Zhu Zhanji learned a set of contortion techniques. When he softened, his whole body was weak and boneless, and when he was hardened, he could split stones with strength.

And he can also play acrobatics. When he practiced at first, the two priests didn't care.But now he climbs the wall like a flat ground, which is a bit scary.

The city wall of the imperial palace, ordinary people can't climb it, but he can run up it without using his hands.Even those palaces, he also climbed up casually, this is the real flying over the walls!

The two Taoist priests have practiced for decades, but they don't have this ability.

Therefore, although Zhu Zhanji was no match for them in a head-to-head fight, the two Taoists were not sure if they could win if they really wanted to fight.

At the age of 15, Zhu Zhanji was almost invincible in the palace. Zhu Di saw Zhu Zhanji's ability, so he was relieved to allow him to enter and leave the palace freely.
