Chapter 64
Hard pens like pencils are actually more convenient than brushes if the literacy rate of the people rises.

However, in the era when Confucian scholars monopolized the right to disseminate knowledge, the pencil is destined to not have much development, unless the future emperor eliminates illiteracy, which is almost impossible.

So Zhang Yi is not optimistic about the use of pencils,

Selling it to the army seems to be a way. If the scouts carry this thing with them, it may be more convenient than charcoal.

Zhang Yi didn't ask any further questions. He knew that a businessman like Lao Zhu might not use pencils as a means of making money, and he might contribute even more at a loss.

But all of this has nothing to do with him, whether it is the Chang family or his other connections, Zhang Yi doesn't care.

Zhang Yi had already informed about the possible risks to the Chang family, and what to do was up to Huang and himself.

After drinking for three rounds, the guards came to remind Zhu Yuanzhang that he should go back to the palace.

Zhang Normal also received hints that he should leave.

"Brother Zhang, you are going to enter the palace tomorrow, the Holy Majesty will definitely be delighted!"

Before Zhu Yuanzhang left, he held Zhang Normal's hand and sent his blessings. Zhang Normal had mixed feelings. Whether Longyan was happy or Longyan was furious, didn't you decide?

"Your Majesty, General Xu and his team can enter the city tomorrow morning!"

The school inspector reported the news of Xu Da and his party to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed into a line, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was very playful.

"At noon tomorrow, arrange for Kong Kejian to enter the palace, and Zhang Normal will stay in the evening!"

After the emperor finished speaking, he got into the car, leaving Nuo Da a Huang Fu and the thoughtful Gao Jianxian.

……

Outside Yingtian City, in a station.

An old man looked thoughtfully at Ying Tianfu in the distance.

"Is Yan Shenggong feeling better?"

Behind the old man stood a handsome man in his 30s.

The old man didn't look back, facing the No.1 Xu Da in the Ming army behind him, he was still a little resentful.

But the situation is stronger than people, when the emperor of Yingtianfu brought those words through Xu Da, he had no choice but to come to Yingtianchao to meet the Ming emperor when the situation was not clear.

He was unwilling, but he didn't dare to refuse.

Along the way, he had been delayed for some time due to his illness, but no matter how long the journey was, there would be a moment when he would finish it. Seeing that Ying Tianfu was right in front of him, the restlessness in Kong Kejian's heart became more and more depressed.

"He's already feeling better, so I don't dare to be bad. After all, the son of heaven has already said that no matter how bad the old man's illness is, I just look down on him!"

There was a trace of resentment in Kong Kejian's voice, why couldn't Xu Da hear it?
It's just that he doesn't know how and doesn't want to participate in his extra affairs, so it's rare to be confused.

At the same time, he also felt a bit of pity for Yan Shenggong in front of him, and he also understood that members of the Kong family had their own pride and self-confidence.

Confident that after Confucianism became orthodox in the world, the descendants of the most holy teachers will naturally have the preferential treatment of scholars. This preferential treatment, along with the rewards of successive emperors, has become the capital of the Confucian family's pride.

The emperor of flowing water, the Kong family of iron.

As long as Kong Kejian is not involved in rebellion, even if the emperor is dissatisfied with him, he will still give him what should be given.

What he was not reconciled to was that the bumpkins in Mongolia gave more, so that the Kong family, who had been enshrined on the altar, missed the power of power very much.

Xu Da doesn't understand the pride of the Kong family, but he is familiar with the young boy.

I'm afraid this Yansheng Gong will be very disappointed.

"General Xu, the old man is tired, just let my son stay here with me!"

"Nayan Shenggong rest early!"

Beside them, there was a 30-year-old Confucian scholar, Kong Kejian's son Kong Xixue, who smiled at Xu Da when he saw that Xu Da was about to leave.

Xu Da remained silent and exited their room.

The eyes of the present and future Yan Shenggong were left behind.

"Father, you wanted to get out of illness and let your son deal with this great tomorrow, but in the end you fell short!"

Kong Kejian looked gloomy and said:
"If you don't come for the father, those people's knives will fall on the heads of our Kong family. There is nothing to say to these bandits. We can only deal with them. Now the world is uncertain. Although the emperor of Ming Dynasty has achieved great power, the Yuan army is not in the north. There is no hope at all, our Kong family must not be too enthusiastic about the imperial court of the sky when the situation in the world is uncertain!
If one day Master Wang goes south, the emperor will misunderstand our Kong family! "

Speaking of this matter, Yan Sheng Gong Kong Kejian still couldn't help it.Kong Xixue understood his father's resentment.

The Kong family's status is supernatural. Normally, no matter who wins the world, they will support the Kong family.It's just that the Kong family didn't want to get involved so quickly.

The reason is that although Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor in Yingtianfu and established the Ming Dynasty, the court he wanted to overthrow still had a large territory in the north.

Although the Yuan Dynasty has shown signs of defeat, it is not without a glimmer of hope.

According to Kong Kejian's calculations, Da Ming can't offend him, but he absolutely can't accept Da Ming's reward before the situation in the world is settled. He said he couldn't see Xu Da when he was sick, and he just sent Kong Xixue to deal with Xu Da, just to keep a good balance with Da Ming .

Xu Da is so foolish, he had already compromised and was going to let Kong Xixue go to Beijing to face the saint.

Who knew that Emperor Daming suddenly came to give instructions and questioned Kong Kejian, did he look down on Daming?

Ugh……

"Father, what should we do tomorrow?"

"When I meet the emperor tomorrow, the old man will 'relapse', and the next thing will be left to you to deal with!"

When the father and son were talking about this, outside the wall, a checker put away the monitoring tool he had fastened to the wall, and then he was writing furiously next door.

Write down the content of these conversations, package them, and the conversation between Kong Kejian and his son has arrived at the palace three hours later.

night, deep!
Yingtian Mansion had already entered a curfew at night, and the gates of the imperial palace were also closed.

In the East Pavilion, Zhu Biao stretched and yawned.

He looked at the emperor above him again, still writing vigorously.

Zhu Biao made no secret of his admiration for Zhu Yuanzhang, who worked hard.

Mingming and Zhang drank normally, and the emperor also drank a lot. Under normal circumstances, he should rest early today.

It's just that Emperor Hongwu's diligence can't even keep up with this young man.

After taking a sip of strong tea, Lao Zhu buried his head in the melodies as high as mountains, tirelessly!
"If you're tired, go back and rest, I'll watch the meeting again..."

Although Zhu Yuanzhang concentrated on his work, he also knew Zhu Biao's actions.

Hearing this, Zhu Biao laughed: "Father didn't take a break, so how can I sleep alone, my son is with Father!"

The father and son looked at each other and smiled, and Lao Zhu was about to get up and finish his work for the day, when someone came to report and there was a secret letter.

"It's so late, the palace gates are closed, where did you get the secret report?"

Zhu Biao was puzzled, but Lao Zhu knew it well.

He took the sealed letter from the eunuch, opened it, scanned it quickly, and handed it to Zhu Biao with a dark face.

After Zhu Biao finished reading, his face was also ugly.

"It seems that the younger brother of the Zhang family is right. Once a person steps down from the altar and has desires, he will often make foolish tricks!"

Zhu Biao put down the secret letter, and the worries about the Kong family in his heart disappeared without a trace!
