People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 109 The Emperor's Tongue, Eyes, Eyes, and Brothers

"I am a Ming navy, and I will be like Xuanwu in the future, overwhelming the rivers and seas!"

Zhu Yuanzhang showed his will, and Zhu Biao was also excited.

In Lao Zhu's hands, Daming may not have the national strength to go to sea, and this burden is very likely to fall on him.

The Xuanwu navy that Lao Zhu decided to establish is destined to not make any big moves for a long time.

This is just the seed left by Daming in order not to completely give up the navy.

"Zhang Yi's proposal to use trade to absorb the wealth of the world is also good, banning the sea, but the official ports must be kept to absorb the wealth of the world!
Let's talk about this later..."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed:
"I originally wanted to ask him about another naval army this time, but by mistake I brought out the Xuanwu Army..."

"Another navy?"

Empress Ma was puzzled. Empress Ma did not know about the rumors in Yangzhou.

At this time, only a few people such as Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and Zhang Normal knew about it.

Zhu Biao simply told Empress Ma the story of "a hundred thousand sailors went to Yangzhou", and Empress Ma was secretly amazed when she heard this.

"This technique is a deceitful way. Using the method of swords and soldiers to use it on the people's bodies seems to be..."

"Very useful!"

Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted Empress Ma's words with a solemn expression.

"Father Huang once made an analogy with his sons and officials, the king relies on the scholar-bureaucrat class, there are three main types!
They are mouth and tongue, eyes and ears and hands and feet respectively!
Father now wants to seize the right to speak! "

Empress Ma was thoughtful, and she understood that these three metaphors represented the officials exercising the monarchy. They were the brothers and feet of the emperor, and managed the world on behalf of the emperor.

And the last word of mouth is the power of the scholar-official class to use their pens to use their monopoly power on knowledge to promote the power of the emperor.

These are also the three powers that the king had to rely on from the scholar-bureaucrat class.

The power in the hands of scholar-bureaucrats is bestowed by the king, but if they are too powerful, they can use their power to overshadow the emperor.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, officials were corrupt, and Zhu Yuanzhang had personally experienced the chaos brought about by this kind of power corruption. The most serious thing was probably that his parents starved to death in front of his eyes.

When natural disasters occurred at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it was not that the imperial court did not provide disaster relief, but that when the relief food sent by the imperial court was exploited layer by layer by corrupt officials and fell into the hands of the victims, there was already no one left.

Zhu Yuanzhang hated that world, and hated corrupt officials even more because of his parents.

Later, he wandered around the world, and then rebelled. With the increase of his ability and cognition, Lao Zhu began to consider the meaning behind this incident.

It doesn't really matter what the emperor in the palace thinks.

When his officials are no longer under his control, he is actually like a blind man, disabled, and can only do nothing in the palace.

Today, Zhu Yuanzhang also has the opportunity to be the emperor.

He would not allow himself to be as sad as the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. He established the inspection school to find another pair of eyes and ears outside the scholar-bureaucrat group.

Now Lao Zhu wants to set up [Water Army].

It was he who saw the means of communication and wanted to try to win the tongue of scholars in the world!
"You~"

Empress Ma is probably the person in the world who understands Zhu Yuanzhang's knots the most, so she didn't say anything after hearing the words.

"Tongue, eyes and ears, I just don't know that one day you will even want to move their sibling rights..."

This sentence was just hidden in Queen Ma's heart, but she didn't say it out!
"Then find an opportunity and repeat what that child said!"

As the carriage drove into the darkness, the people in the carriage gradually became speechless!

……

Day two.

Zhang Yi woke up early, feeling refreshed.

He put the jade given by Zhu Biao close to his body, and went out with Deng Zhongxiu towards the Imperial Palace.

Because he was in a good mood, it was rare for him to take a look at the surrounding scenery. The Qinhuai River in the distance was looming in the mist, like a fairyland.

But Zhang Yi paid attention to the Qinhuai River, not because of the young lady on the river or anything else.

There is the wharf of the Confucius Temple in Yingtianfu, and there are also things he is going to cash in the jade pendant in his hand!
"Senior Brother Deng, come pick me up when I leave school, let's go do something!"

Leaving a word for Deng Zhongxiu, Zhang Yi trotted all the way into the Guozi Mansion, but on the way, he saw someone pointing at him, and he looked puzzled.

When he came to the school, he found that Kong Na was standing at the door with his head down.
Kong Na was still a pair of iron-eating beast eyes at this time, and saw Zhang Yi staring at him fiercely.

"go out!"

Zhang Yi crossed Kong Na and was about to enter the school, but found that Xu Cunren had arrived at some point.

Mr. Xu couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, he just said something lightly.

Zhang Yi was stunned, and immediately saw the old brother Zhang from Jiangxi winking at him.

Zhang Yi realized it, and ran outside the school honestly, standing with Kong Na.

Xu Cunren didn't get too entangled in the two, but started to lead the students to study.

The sound of reading aloud resounded in the dormitory of Guozixue. Only Zhang Yi and Kong Na stood side by side.

Kong Na's face was flushed red, almost all his humiliating experiences from childhood to adulthood were completed in Yingtian Mansion.

As the descendant of the Confucian family, the future Yan Shenggong was punished by his teacher in full view.

And the instigator of all this was Zhang Yi standing beside him.

This guy wasn't embarrassed at all, and looked around with interest.

The two had the experience of fighting yesterday, and Kong Na had complicated feelings for Zhang Yi.

"I'm not a traitor, and neither is my grandfather!
You apologize to me! "

Zhang Yi didn't want to talk to Kong Na at first, but Kong Na didn't intend to let him go.

Ok?
He turned his head and looked at Connor.

The eyes of the future Yan Shenggong were full of stubbornness.

"Is the Kong family only stubborn?"

Zhang Yi didn't bother to pay attention to that brat, Kong Na got angry when he heard it, but he didn't dare to do anything to Zhang Yi, he just blushed and couldn't speak for a long time.

At this moment, Zhang Yi looked Kong Na up and down, and suddenly laughed:
"Nane, you don't want your grandfather's affairs to be exposed, you see I let you go yesterday, how about you promise me one thing?
If you promise me, I won't call your grandpa a traitor in the future! "

Kong Na felt a little nervous when Zhang Yi looked at him. Although this guy was a few years younger than him, every time Kong Na greeted Zhang Yi, he always felt more tired than dealing with the adults at home.

He stared at Zhang Yi vigilantly:

"What do you want to do?"

"I just want you to help me sell something, and I will definitely not embarrass you!"

"Really?"

Although he didn't want to deal with this guy, he had something in Zhang Yi's hands.

"Sell what?"

"You'll find out after school!"

"I haven't promised you yet!"

Kong Na always felt that the little Taoist priest in front of him was not a good person, but Zhang Yi didn't take it seriously. The two were chatting happily when they suddenly heard a coughing sound from behind:
"gentlemen!"

Xu Cunren didn't know when he appeared behind the two, Kong Na and Zhang Yi quickly saluted.

"Go, come with me!"

Xu Cunren couldn't seem to calm down, and led the two of them inside.

It was still the small courtyard where we ate together last time, so Xu Cunren walked over.

Zhang Yi and Kong Na followed suit step by step.

"It's all grown up, just as I walked with my left foot, your back feet kicked up?

It seems that the arrogance of the Kong family is not as good as that of Longhu Mountain's Lei Fa? "

The face of Kong Na that Xu Cunren said was flushed, and the two black eye circles on his face already explained the result of the battle.

"In Guozixue, except for those few who don't come often with low merit, you two are the first to fight here. If I don't punish you, it will break the rules!"

Kong Na was extremely ashamed when he heard the words, he lowered his head: "Uncle Yan is wrong, sir, just punish him?"

"What is the punishment, isn't it to hit someone?"

Different from Kong Na's honesty, Zhang Yi's answer was obviously weird: "Mr. Xu, can we not punish him?"

"No, Zhang Yi, I will punish you for copying this copybook a hundred times, your handwriting is too ugly, you must correct it..."

Zhang Yi wailed when he heard this.

Xu Cunren ignored him, but turned to Kong Na:

"As for you, copy the "Sutra of the Great Law of the Microcosmic World" ten times!"

"Sir, why did I copy Longhushan's book...?"

Kong Na was also full of dissatisfaction.

Xu Cunren smiled and said:
"If I let you copy "The Analects of Confucius", will I still punish you?"

When Kong Na heard the words, he was thoughtful, so he stopped refuting, but took the book "The Supreme Being" handed over by Xu Cunren, and found a place to copy it!

"Zhang Yi, you can't be funny, otherwise I will go to the palace and suggest to the emperor to let you come to live in Guozi School, and I will teach you..."

Xu Cunren's words hit Zhang Yi's deathbed.

He and Kong Na can be regarded as relatively special day students of Guozixue. Under normal circumstances, except for the children of few meritorious and Beijing officials, most of Guozixue's students will live in Guozixue.

Zhang Yi didn't want to stay in this place and be stared at all day.That was definitely his nightmare,
With a bitter face, he was also seriously copying the copybook.

Xu Cunren saw that the two were copying books, nodded in satisfaction, and walked out of the small courtyard again.

Kong Na opened the "True Sutra of the Great Law of the Microcosmic World", and a sense of déjà vu came over him.

He gave Zhang Yi a disdainful look, and Mr. Xu said that this book was probably apocryphal written by Zhang Yi.

Mr. asked him to copy this scripture, and he was really punishing him.

Kong Na sharpened the ink and started to copy the scriptures, but his disdain at the beginning, then the shock later, turned into a look of astonishment in the end,

He raised his head sharply, staring at Zhang Yi who was copying the copybook carefully, with mixed feelings.

The poor grammar of this scripture has reached the point where people and gods are indignant, but the content compiled by Zhang Yi in the scriptures shows him a bizarre world, which is called the microscopic world.

There are tiny invisible worms in the world, their existence, their life forms, their meaning.

There are also thoughts emanating from this microcosm, which made Kong Na think of many, such as Gu insects, such as similar things in the script...

"How did he find out about this?"

Kong Naben looked down on Zhang Yi, thinking that he was ignorant, just a trickster,
But when he carefully examined the book, he had to admit that Zhang Yi had something worthy of Mr. Xu's attention.

"Is this the meaning of the master asking me to copy the book?"

Kong Na seemed to have realized something, and put aside his prejudices, and began to seriously copy the "True Sutra of the Great Law of the Microcosmic World"!
