Perhaps, the brain circuits of geniuses are mostly similar?
Gu Zheng continued, "Therefore, I also speculate that when these objects fall, they can use the force of the wind, just like a flock of birds flying high or a kite soaring into the sky. But if they are heavy enough and have no wings, the force of the wind can be ignored. Regardless of the weight, the time it takes to fall to the ground is the same, and the force it experiences is also the same."
He Qing noticed that he had used two guesses, so he snorted and said with a smile, "Just Lord Gu's guess?"
"I cannot confirm it." Gu Zheng nodded honestly.
But he quickly pulled out a long black stone from his sleeve, tossed it up and down twice, and then continued, "I've also thought, things that are placed quietly must be moved by someone. When they fall to the ground, who is exerting the force?"
As he spoke, he took out a piece of iron with his other hand and placed it on the other side of his palm, some distance away from the black stone. But as soon as he let go, he heard a "ding" sound, and the iron sheet was already attached to the black stone.
"This is a magnet. The iron sheet will be attracted to it and will stick to it. If we assume that the ground beneath our feet is a huge magnet that attracts everything, then it makes sense." Gu Zheng held the magnet in his hand and smiled at He Qing. "This is just a hypothesis. I've been looking for a way to prove it recently."
He Qing could only remain stunned, he had even figured out the law of universal gravitation.
Although this was what He Qing wanted, when she actually did it, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, and always felt that she had caused a very remarkable change.
"But this raises a new question. For example, if the stars, sun, and moon hang high in the sky, why don't they fall to the ground? If it's because they're too far away, then I heard stories about meteorites from outer space when I was young, but that doesn't fit the story. I'm still researching this question, so I won't discuss it for now."
At this point, Gu Zheng smiled slightly. "The Way of Nature is indeed profound and fascinating. I wonder if my answer can temporarily resolve Master Zhen's doubts?"
After thinking about it for several times, I still couldn't make a decision.
At this time, the Empress Dowager urgently needed someone to discuss with, preferably someone who could provide reliable advice for her reference.
This person must be absolutely loyal and reliable. Neither He Qing nor a court official would be a good choice. So, after a long period of hesitation, the Empress Dowager turned her attention to the people serving her.
These are the only people she can come into contact with in the palace. Others are not familiar with government affairs, but those in the Ministry of Internal Affairs accompany the emperor day and night, so they must learn these things.
However, the Empress Dowager was not very satisfied with either Huang Xiu, the governor or Huang Xiu, the official in charge of the Inner East Gate Division.
Although she had always lived in the deep palace and had limited experience, she also vaguely knew that her husband and son were not wise monarchs. Whether she was queen or queen mother, there were always court officials who found ways to pass memorials to her, asking her to advise the king.
For nearly twenty years, the government was actually controlled by the ministers, and the emperor did not participate much.
As such, it was naturally difficult for the eunuchs who followed them to gain much knowledge and progress. This was especially true for Huang Xiu, who had been highly regarded by Emperor Ling because of his deep understanding of Taoist scriptures and was able to help him manage many Taoists.
It is obviously impossible to ask them to share their worries.
But just because they can't do it doesn't mean others can't. The Empress Dowager thought of this and ordered Huang Xiu, "Go and get the list of people entering the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Although he didn't know why she suddenly wanted to look at something, Huang Xiu still quickly fetched the list and presented it to her. There were so many eunuchs in the palace, and the list alone was several thick volumes. The Empress Dowager felt a headache after just one glance, but she still had to patiently look through it carefully.
She temporarily forgot about the affairs of the court and spent most of the day looking around, feeling dizzy before she finally picked out a few available people from the list.
She wrote these names on a piece of paper and handed it to Huang Xiu, "Call these people to see me."
"Yes." Huang Xiu lowered his head and glanced at the note, then wrote down the five names on it. His mind raced as he began to wonder why the Empress Dowager wanted to see them.
With thousands of eunuchs serving such a small number of masters, the competition was incredibly fierce. Especially for those positions in front of the Grand Empress Dowager, everyone from top to bottom was watching closely. Even though Huang Xiu already stood above all the eunuchs, he didn't dare to let his guard down.
The eunuchs' futures all depended on their masters. With just a word from the Empress Dowager, he could be Huang Xiu, the Chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or nothing at all.
