Ming Dynasty: The Sixth Brother of the Zhu Family Seeks Immortality

"The cultivation method of Yun Dynasty connects individuals, mainly the emperor, with the entire country. When a country is prosperous, people will be strong, and when a country is declining, people will be destroyed. Stepping into the maelstrom of Yun Dynasty, we can only overcome obstacles and move forward bravely!"

When Zhu Di heard this cultivation method, his eyes lit up.

Connecting individuals to the country, developing the country and then strengthening individuals, it sounds like this cultivation method is very suitable for him!

"Not only that, practicing national luck can also control the shape of luck, and having luck protect the body can not only prolong life, but also gain strong combat effectiveness."

"In addition to this, there are many benefits, such as gathering the luck of all directions and guiding all nations to come to court! To create countless great achievements in the world!"

"The Qi Luck Dynasty, majoring in Qi Luck, is not disturbed by natural disasters, can resist bad luck and misfortune, and is invulnerable to all means."

"There are also invisible benefits. For example, after the Qi Luck Dynasty is established, with the blessing of the dynasty's luck, all the people of the dynasty will speed up their practice. The improvement rate is even terrifying! Moreover, different official positions will be awarded and different blessings will be given. The luck of the dynasty.”

"In short, the beauty of it is beyond words."

Whether it was Zhu Di, who was still immersed in emo, or Zhu Gaochi, who was one position behind, they all looked at Zhu Zhankan in surprise.

It's all because of the method of transporting the dynasty. It sounds too perfect. It's so perfect that people can't believe it!

The emergence of the Yun Dynasty Method made Zhu Di even a little excited.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with the method of transporting the dynasty?"

Zhu Di nodded repeatedly, more than satisfied, it was tailor-made for him!

"The Yun Dynasty method is indeed very good." Zhu Zhankan praised: "There is just one small problem."

Zhu Gaochi asked: "What's the problem?"

"The only problem is - I don't know how to..." Zhu Zhankan spread his hands and looked at the elders present with an innocent face.

"Besides, the luck dynasty method itself cannot be used by one emperor, nor can it be built by one emperor. At least it is difficult for one emperor to make it big."

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step! To build a dynasty, you need to build a foundation. Only by building an excellent foundation can a stable dynasty be established."

"Legend has it that in ancient times, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors laid the foundation of the human race. The First Emperor unified the world, and he still had to fight for the rest of the six generations!"

"The path of spiritual practice is so difficult, how can there be such an easy thing?"

Chapter 40 Only more expensive, no better medicinal materials

Zhu Di once again left the Prince's Mansion feeling lost. This was the first time he felt lost.

No, this time there was a little heartache.

After all, I didn't take away anything good when I came to the Prince's Mansion, and I still left five hundred thousand taels of silver to buy elixirs.

After waiting for a while, Zhu Gaochi slowly stood up with Zhu Zhanji's help.

He said with a somewhat complaining tone: "Zhankan, don't tell your grandpa the emperor anything about irrelevant things. The old man is already old, so don't scare him anymore."

"Isn't this going to improve Grandpa Huang's ability to withstand stress?"

Zhu Zhankan stepped forward and came to the other side to support Zhu Gaochi.

"Dad, are you sure you can hold on?"

Zhu Gaochi took out a white handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Okay, not bad."

He turned to look at Zhu Zhankan: "Son, don't say such irritating words in the future. Even if you say such irritating words to your grandpa, don't do it in front of me, okay?"

"Dad, why do you think about those things that you have and don't have? The most important thing in cultivating immortality is to have clear thoughts!"

"Oh, Tongda, everything is Tongda."

"By the way, Dad, how have you been practicing recently?"

"Still the same, no progress at all." Zhu Gaochi sighed: "Son, should I take some pills too?"

Fat daddy made it clear crazy.

Zhu Zhankan looked at Fat Dad with a surprised look on his face: "Dad, do you still have five hundred thousand taels of private money?"

"What? What private money?" The Crown Princess came to Zhu Gaochi's side in an instant as if she was practicing her iron legs and flying on grass: "What are you talking about private money?"

"No, there is no private money!" Zhu Gaochi begged for mercy.

"I'm sorry you don't dare to keep any personal money."

After chatting and having dinner, it was getting late.

"Zhankan, you need to be careful about refining the elixir for the old man."

The drowsy Zhu Zhanzhen immediately became energetic: "Snacks? What kind of snacks?"

Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhankan couldn't help but smile.

"Come here, take Zhan Yi back to the dormitory and go to sleep."

Then he set his sights on Zhu Zhankan.

Zhu Zhankan said: "Dad, if you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten."

He casually took out a list from his coat pocket.

"Dad, please send someone to buy the list of medicinal materials."

"Let me see."

Zhu Gaochi was very curious about the medicinal materials needed to refine the elixir.

"Century-old wild ginseng, six-sided schizonepeta, five-beaded Xu Changqing..."

Although Zhu Gaochi doesn't know much about Chinese herbal medicine, he still knows about ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum and other medicinal materials.

This precious medicinal material is actually bought in tens of kilograms!

Is this medicine refining or disaster relief?

Zhu Gaochi had a sad look on his face: "Zhankan, buy according to the list. Is five hundred thousand taels of silver enough?"

If he remembered correctly, the Imperial Hospital spent nearly one hundred thousand taels of silver every year to purchase just a few medicinal materials.

The reason why the medicinal materials are sufficient is that they rely on the medicinal materials collected through taxes from various places.

"As long as we don't go to the Imperial Hospital to purchase, it will definitely be enough." Zhu Zhankan added confidently: "Before, when I was practicing alchemy, the same medicinal materials were recorded in the Imperial Hospital for nearly five thousand taels, while it was enough to buy them at the morning market for one thousand eight hundred taels."

Zhu Gaochi was slightly angry and said: "How dare the Imperial Hospital cheat you like this?"

Zhu Zhankan shook his head: "That's not the case. I didn't charge money when I went to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicinal materials. I just glanced at the account book, and it said that it would cost nearly five thousand taels of silver."

Zhu Zhankan continued to complain: "Dad, if you have time, you can also take care of the Imperial Hospital's herbal medicine warehouse. The quality of the medicinal materials there is too ordinary."

"If you don't know, you would think that our royal family can't afford good medicine."

"Go away." Zhu Gaochi waved his sleeves: "Don't talk nonsense, who takes medicine for no reason!"

Then Zhu Gaochi murmured to himself: "It is indeed necessary to take care of it. There are more and more problems in the court."

That night, several imperial doctors were dismissed and investigated for stealing and leaking medicine.

The Imperial Hospital, which was already nervous because of the poison pill, was even more nervous.

In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of the first lunar month.

On the first day of the first lunar month, the ceremony of the first day of the first lunar month was set since Emperor Taizu.

That is, on this day, the emperor will accept the congratulations of all officials in the main hall.

According to the etiquette, the emperor, empress, concubines, and officials in the capital will perform the ceremony of congratulations on this day.

Since it is only once a year, the pomp is naturally huge, and all participants are naturally very hard.

Perhaps because of his poor background, Emperor Hongwu may not pay much attention to etiquette in private, but he attaches great importance to the big things in public!

First of all, the emperor's dragon throne must be set up in the Fengtian Hall, and the treasure table must be placed to the east of the dragon throne, and the incense table must be placed to the south of the Danbi.

The Jiaofang Division must also display musical instruments in the Fengtian Hall according to a strict layout.

In addition, there are whip-beaters, Jinwu guards, Han generals, and Jinyi guards arranged from the Danbi to the outside of the Fengtian Gate.

As for precious objects, such as ceremonial horses, rhinoceroses, and elephants, they are all arranged.

The emperor had to sit on the dragon throne and wait for all officials to come to the court in formal court dresses.

There was no queen in the harem at this time, so all matters were naturally handled by the Crown Princess Zhang.

The Crown Princess was busy, so the sons could not escape.

Zhu Zhanji had to go to the palace, and as a member of the crown prince, he naturally had to accept the congratulations of all officials.

And Zhu Zhankan, as the Jinyiwei Zhenfu Envoy, also had his own duties.

Zhu Zhankan, who was awakened at dawn, rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked around.

"Wow, Brother Jinlong looks very energetic today!"

Zhu Zhankan pondered: "Does the court meeting have a special effect on the luck of the golden dragon? Or does the first day of the new year have a special meaning?"

"Forget it, don't think about it, let's go to Fengxian Hall to worship the ancestors first."

Generally speaking, as long as the emperor did not go on a personal expedition, tour or was sick, the first thing he did on the first day of the new year was to worship his ancestors, and then go to the elders' homes to greet him.

The place of worship was Fengxian Hall and Fengci Hall.
