Chapter 164                                                                                                                             

Jiajing fell into deep thought.

Zhou Mengchen's preaching hit Jiajing's suspicion.

The golden elixir incident laid a deep shadow in Jiajing's heart. Jiajing never thought that the thing he thought was that the immortal medicine was actually a chronic poison that killed his life, and even took the lives of his son and two daughters, which simply took the Queen's life away.

This profound lesson made Jiajing unable to forget even if he wanted to.

At that time, Jiajing might not have had a question in his heart. He asked someone to study the art of immortality, how to ensure that the person who studied it would leave the art of immortality to him. Could it be that there would be people like Xu Fu who will never return? Suppose Xu Fu asked for the medicine of immortality, but he just wanted to escape from his sins. But Jiajing had another guess in his heart, was it not that Xu Fu had obtained the medicine of immortality and swallowed it alone. He did not dare to return to China.

Jiajing was originally a person with great suspicion. Now he is even more suspicious.

And this is almost a radical instinct deep in the soul.

Even if Zhou Mengchen moved Jiajing with his words, over time, the suspicion in Jiajing would grow wildly like a weed.

However, Jiajing hesitated and asked, "Mr. Zhou, is this OK?"

Zhou Mengchen said, "Your Majesty, Feng Bao is my disciple, and I can't understand it much. He is very talented in organizing experiments. Now the best thousand-mile mirrors, microscopes, are all created by Feng Bao. Among them, I am very grateful. With Feng Bao, you don't need to participate in the specific experiments, you just need to be in a high position and put forward your own opinions and ideas. Feng Bao will definitely be able to complete them for Your Majesty."

After hearing this, Jiajing thought to himself, "Why is this a little familiar?" He suddenly realized that he had always used Feng Bao like this. However, Jiajing was more of a verification experiment. For example, to burn iron pots, there were some strange medical requirements, etc.

It’s just that he has never put forward his own ideas and assumptions.

After hearing what Zhou Mengchen said, Jiajing became confident.

Jiajing claimed to be smart, and as the emperor, he faced the voices of criticism from all directions. It made Jiajing feel that he was the best smart person in the world and far more intelligent than ordinary people. Therefore, he was not worried that he would not be able to learn it. He felt that Zhou Mengchen's knowledge seemed very complicated, but it was easy to understand by grasping one or two clues.

Because of their relevance and logic, it is too logical.

Jiajing said, "Then I have something to do, I will send someone to Datong to ask for advice. Don't refuse."

After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen felt relieved. Jiajing finally leaked his voice. He would not force him to stay in the capital. Zhou Mengchen hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is too rewarded, this is my duty."

Zhou Mengchen also felt a little happy inside.

Zhou Mengchen wanted to bring Jiajing into the scientific camp for more than a day. But what is deeply rooted in Jiajing's heart is Taoism, not science. Now, as long as Jiajing starts to formally come into contact with scientific experiments, he will accept scientific thinking bit by bit in the future.

This is a great benefit for Zhou Mengchen.

From the beginning of being asked Jiajing to name the blood type, to now, whether it is a conspiracy or an open conspiracy, Jiajing finally began to face up to Zhou Mengchen's so-called qi and not treat him as a side-by-side.

This is a great benefit to Zhou Mengchen.

Jiajing said, "You should stay away from the king and the ministers. I can't let you return empty-handed." Jiajing then called out to the little eunuch outside. Then he splashed ink and wrote "Datong Academy." He asked someone to give this word to Zhou Mengchen.

Zhou Mengchen took it with both hands, took a look, and there was a movement in his heart.

This is not a word. It is a subtle warning. Let Zhou Mengchen know that no matter when he is, there is always an eye staring at him.

Although Zhou Mengchen didn't know whether it was the Jinyiwei or the Dongchang, he knew that this person, or these people, must be among his entourage. Zhou Mengchen was just frightened and immediately recovered. No matter what era the spy did, he would not accomplish any major event.

Zhou Mengchen never thought about doing anything that would be sorry for the Ming Dynasty, so he was naturally not afraid of surveillance. After all, Zhou Mengchen still trusted Lu Bing's character.

Now, unless Lu Bing is his Majesty's personal order, Lu Bing is unwilling to get dirty some dirty work. In addition, Zhou Mengchen's relationship with the Lu family is not bad. Lu Bing will not make any moves in the information. As long as he can tell the emperor the entire information around Zhou Mengchen, it may not be a good thing for Zhou Mengchen.

Zhou Mengchen regained his composure and said, "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. I thank Your Majesty for your Majesty on behalf of the people of Datong. I will definitely obey Your Majesty's orders. After I arrive in Datong, I will have good students to run schools and let the children of Datong have books and study."

Seeing this, Jiajing smiled gently and said, "Okay. Then wait for Zhou Mengchen's good news."

Zhou Mengchen said goodbye and refused to mention it.

After Zhou Mengchen left.

Jiajing fell into deep thought. He thought a lot. This was the first time he thought from the perspective of science or logical thinking, how can we live forever and how can we live forever? What assumptions should be proposed and how to design and verify experimentally?

It's just that, how can it be so easy to figure out this question?

While Jiajing was thinking, Huang Jin came to Jiajing carefully and said, "Emperor, Master Yan Ge sent someone to send auspiciousness. It was said that it was found at the mouth of the Yellow River. A magic turtle as big as a millstone with characters engraved on it. There are the four seal characters in Jiajing Wannian," he said.

Jiajing heard this and just said no.

Before this, Jiajing liked auspiciousness the most. No matter what kind of auspiciousness or the mushrooms growing on the beams and pillars, the so-called Linzhi, white rabbit, white deer, etc. Jiajing accepted all the entire list. Therefore, Jiajing offered auspiciousness quite frequently throughout the dynasty, and was almost overwhelmed.

Maybe someone said that Jiajing didn’t know if there was any problem with these auspicious auspicious auspiciousness?

First of all, Jiajing is a devout Taoist. He would rather believe in the auspiciousness than in non-existence. Secondly, Jiajing also regards the auspiciousness as a test of obedience. Those who are willing to spend their time offering auspiciousness will naturally not point fingers at his great cause of cultivation of immortality.

Therefore, every time there is auspiciousness, Jiajing goes to see it with great interest and then rewards those who offer auspiciousness.

But now it's different.

Before Jiajing lost his daughter, son and wife, no one dared to offer any auspiciousness at this time. I don’t know if I thought it was a satirizing Jiajing. This time, the auspiciousness presented to Haizhou Prefecture was the first one after Jiajing recovered from his illness. However, Jiajing has learned from his mistakes and saw Xiangrui, he only felt that someone wanted to lie to him.

He didn't think so at first. But when he heard the divine turtle was the size of a millstone, he moved his heart and said, "Wait, how big do you think this divine turtle is?"

Huang Jin said: "What a millstone?"

Jiajing said: "Then how long has this divine turtle lived?"

Huang Jin said, "This? I don't know."

Jiajing's heart moved and said, "Go and take a look."

A moment later, Jiajing stood in front of a turtle. There was also a eunuch called by Huang Jin. He was a eunuch who specialized in raising turtles in the palace. He said tremblingly in front of Jiajing: "Your Majesty, judging from the patterns on this turtle, it should be over 120 years old, it is a turtle."

The eunuch was very worried, and Jiajing asked the four words above: "Jiajing has been ten thousand years". Although he had already carved it carefully outside, he was not as good as he understood the turtle. So there were still some flaws. If Jiajing asked, would he tell Jiajing that these four words were artificial?

But Jiajing didn't ask this question at all. He didn't seem to see these four words and asked: "How long do you think this turtle can live?"

The eunuch said, "I don't know. It just seems that this turtle has nothing to do with it. It should be fine if it lives for a few decades. Although I have never seen a turtle for thousands of years, I have seen a turtle for hundreds of years several times."

Jiajing sighed and patted the shell of the divine turtle and said, "Although the divine turtle is alive, it still has its end. What a pity." Jiajing said, "It is said that Feng Bao asked people to carry the divine turtle away and let him dissect the divine turtle carefully. I must know the difference between this divine turtle and human."
