People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 165 The World Is Big, Let Zhu Di Go See It

Zhu Di's small body was held by the emperor, and the two were pointing at a map on the table, what were they studying?
Zhu Di shouted: "You said it, this piece belongs to me... as long as I get it down, it's mine!"

"But father, is this map of yours real? We only have such a small piece of Huaxia?
The world is so big, Erchen really wants to go to those places and have a look..."

"Okay, when you grow up, help me Daming clean up the Mongols, I will let you choose a path, you can go west or east if you want!
As long as you can help me lay down a great river and mountain for Daming, that's fine! "

"I'm going this way, I'm going this way..."

Zhu Di pointed in the direction of the east, very excited!

Zhu Biao was right behind them and remained silent for a long time.

After talking to his father last time, did he still make his own choice?
The emperor did not choose Zhu Di as a candidate, but thought about sending him to a faraway place!

The knot that once troubled Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have been resolved after the emperor fiddled with it.

Zhu Biao didn't know how to describe his mood at this time, so he just took a deep breath.

The movement he made alarmed the child in Zhu Yuanzhang's arms.

Zhu Di turned around and shouted loudly:

"Big brother!"

Seeing Zhu Biao, Zhu Di had light in his eyes,
Zhu Biao's mood became more and more complicated, and immediately he showed a bright smile.

"Fourth!"

Perhaps in the future, time will obliterate their emotions today.

But at least at this time, the younger brother worshiped him sincerely.

The moment he saw Zhu Biao, Zhu Di twisted his body and jumped out of Zhu Yuanzhang's arms.

"Brother, come with me!"

Zhu Di trotted up to Zhu Biao, took Zhu Biao's hand, and walked towards the table with Zhu Biao.

On the table is the world map that Zhu Biao is familiar with. Zhu Di made a serious introduction:

"It's only now that I realize that the world is so big, and we, Huaxia, are here...

Dad said, in the future let me lead the army to conquer the world for the Ming Dynasty, I will fight here first, and then find a way to cross the sea, to accomplish feats that even the Mongols could not accomplish..."

Zhu Di pointed to a place called Japan on the map and danced excitedly.

Zhu Biao turned his head and glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"This world is so big, it can accommodate the Zhu family!
Instead of letting those 60 people die at his hands, let him take it to see the world..."

Lao Zhu's words almost brought tears to Zhu Biao's eyes.

The future of brothers killing each other and killing each other is an unbearable burden for the two generations of the Zhu family.

He nodded silently and hugged Zhu Di.

"Fourth, what did Emperor Father promise you just now?"

"Royal father said that as long as I pass his assessment, he will let me lead an army alone in the future to expand the territory for my Ming Dynasty. This is much more interesting than the prince. It is not fun for the prince to stay in the territory all day. I want go out and play..."

Zhu Biao was amused by Zhu Di's childish words, and he pointed to Japan again:

"Then why did you choose that place?"

"I heard from the eunuchs in the palace that the seaside is not peaceful, and their people always come to grab my Daming's things. I want to go over there and ask the emperor, why is this happening?

If he doesn't obey, I'll grab him and spank him! "

"Hahaha... ok, spanking..."

Zhu Ditong spoke freely, and Lao Zhu also laughed, but he added:
"The ruler of that island is not worthy of being called an emperor, but you are not in a hurry to spank him, maybe the other party will come to pay homage to him after the imperial father issues an edict!"

Zhu Di's childish nature, when he saw that he couldn't beat him, he was immediately discouraged.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, you can fight wherever you want!"

After some comfort, Zhu Di finally became happy.

Zhu Yuanzhang said:

"Go back to your mother's queen, I still have something to discuss with your elder brother!"

"Yes, my son is leaving!"

Zhu Di got the answer he wanted and left satisfied.

Only Zhu Biao and his son were left, relatively speechless!

"It's a pity that Daming is in a cold period, otherwise I will definitely send someone from here..."

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to a place called Bering Strait on the map and said:

"Detour from here to the place called America, and then from here... all the way down, I found the gods called sweet potatoes and corn!"

"It's too far away. It's farther than when I chose Master Xuanzang to go to Tianzhu. Master Xuanzang left for 14 years!"

The father and son stopped talking about Zhu Di, but carefully studied the properties on the world map.

From the northeast all the way into Siberia, and then through the Bering Strait, this land route is desperately far away!
"My son thinks that if you go by sea, maybe it will be much better. In fact, my son has a suggestion..."

"How to say?"

"Father, if you can find someone you can trust, you can definitely let the Xuanwu Army go out and take a mission to the ocean to bring back what Zhang's younger brother said..."

"Our Daming family doesn't have a lot of wealth. If they don't come back, I will feel so sorry for your father!"

"Father, my son thinks it's worth it!"

Unbeknownst to Zhang Yi, the world map he unintentionally released had already caused two generations of kings of the Ming Dynasty to seriously discuss something called Great Navigation.

Huaxia has never been a sea power country, and its accumulation of going to sea is definitely not as good as other people.

"We can prepare for this matter, but we must be cautious. Anyway, there is still a period of time before the shipbuilding is in a hurry. Let's train the sailors first!
Fortunately, the sailors under Chen Youliang were still available, but I still lack a reliable general..."

"Go back and test Zhang Yi. If we really want to send people out to sea, Zhang Yi must still have a lot of knowledge we need!"

The father and son reached a consensus on this matter for the time being, but they did not express it.

When Zhang Yi was mentioned, Zhu Biao remembered the secret performance Gao Jianxian sent over, and he took out the things and handed them to the emperor.

"It was sent by Gao Jianxian, saying that it is necessary for you to see it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and he took the secret music to the desk, and then took a sip of a cup of tea.

"puff……"

Before Zhu Biao sat down, he saw the emperor spit out a mouthful of tea.

Lao Zhu's eyes widened, staring at the words on the melody for a long time without saying a word.

"Father, what's the matter?"

Zhu Biao looked at the emperor's movements and felt puzzled.

Not long after, Lao Zhu burst out laughing, very loudly.

Regardless of the majesty of the king, he laughed until tears flowed.

Zhu Biao was even more puzzled, what happened to make the emperor lose his composure?
"This kid is a talent, that kid from the Kong family is probably going to be killed by Zhang Yi...

I am convinced! "

Knowing that Zhu Biao was curious, Lao Zhu handed the secret performance to Zhu Biao.

He opened it and was speechless.

These conversations between Zhang Yi and Kong Na, if Zhu Biao hadn’t heard of similar conversations, he would certainly not have noticed anything.

But what Zhang Yi said to Kong Na, they just heard it a few days ago.

"The same is true for the younger brother of the Zhang family. You can't just catch Kong Na alone. If the Kong family's son meets the Zhang family's son, it will be a bad luck for eight lifetimes."

"Simplify the text and reduce the cost of enlightenment! What this kid said sounds very deceptive. If I hadn't heard another answer, I might have been fooled by this kid!"

Zhu Biao agrees with Zhu Yuanzhang's statement, the same set of words, Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang Zhang Yi's evaluation of this passage is three words!

Dragon Slaying!
Zhang Yi compares Confucianism to a big dragon hovering over China, and it is also China's "heaven"!
The so-called heaven, the maker of the rules.

To some extent, Zhang Yi's description is actually quite appropriate.

Want to break the sky, or slay the dragon.

Zhang Yi said that one of the methods is to make the identity of a scholar worthless.

Rareness is the most precious thing, and nothing can hold too much.

There is no need for the common people to be highly educated, just reading and literacy itself can collapse the altar built by Confucianism for thousands of years.

For the illiterate, knowledge itself is full of mystery.

This layer of mystery can increase the common people's tolerance for those people.

But if everyone is literate, uncover this veil.

Everyone will find that you are nothing more than that.

Once this level of mentality is established, the people's awe of the class of scholars will be greatly reduced.

This is destructive to the rule of Confucianism.

Zhang Yi's discussion at that time probably came to an abrupt end here.

How to operate it, Zhang Yi did not say.

But today he made a move, and the emperor immediately understood that one of Zhang Yi's dragon-slaying techniques was to simplify the text.

By reducing the difficulty of acquiring knowledge, more people can learn and recognize characters.

This kind of thing is the same as entering the imperial examination in mathematics, whether it is big or small.

I am afraid that when it is implemented, the resistance will be more difficult than calculating the entrance examination.

In Zhang Yi's philosophy, truth is truth, and art is art.

Art is a tool, and words are just one type of tool.

But in the traditional concept, words have been endowed with many sacred attributes, if they are easily moved, it will inevitably cause a backlash.

And if the person who put forward this opinion is a Taoist priest, then the movement is no longer a rebound, but a turbulent wave.

It is very difficult to promote a reform, especially if you are a pagan, not to mention Zhang Yi, even Longhushan itself cannot withstand the counterattack of the Confucianists.

So Zhang Yi set up a bureau. He wanted Kong Na, or the Kong family behind Kong Na, to promote this reform.

"Give the dragon-slaying knife to the Kong family themselves, and slaughter the Confucian dragon. This little guy is so vicious...

In order to practice his way, this guy does not care about any price! "

As they got to know more about Zhang Yi, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao gradually got to know the child Qingxinguan.

He has his own way, his own ideals, and he is also a person who is not afraid to practice for his own principles.

It's just that Zhang Yi hid this madness and was never noticed by outsiders.

He has been pursuing the principle of seeing the big way with his own small tricks, and is careful to change the world little by little.

And his technique became more and more proficient, like a chess player, hiding in the dark and making moves.

This world has become his chessboard, let him manipulate it!

To some extent, compared to Zhang Tongtong, the rebellious son of the Zhang family is the real "Taoist".

It's just that there is such a person in the world, and it's scary to think about it.

"Fortunately, this kid has no interest in power, otherwise I would have killed him right away..."

The Zhu family's father and son knew Zhang Yi better than Zhang normal, and his naked contempt for power was undisguised.

This kind of contempt is also one of the reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang has little hostility towards Zhang Yi.

That kind of madness that transcends the world is the best protective color for a capable person.

"Let's not talk about simplifying the text, can it be done!

If Zhang Yi wants to promote the simplification of the text, he still has to go through the test of the father!
He actually wanted to repeat the routine of the vaccination method and use the Kong family to complete this promotion!

Good guy, it's fine to use Longhushan, he still wants to use the Kong family!
How did this little guy grow, I was still playing in mud when he was so small...

Could it be that all the contacts who have obtained the fairy fate are this kind of monsters? "

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said:
"If I hadn't heard another part of his thoughts, maybe I would really agree to this matter!
I am also happy to see that the text can be simplified so that more people can learn something!
Our Daming is short of everything now, but people and officials...

Enke can't be opened for the time being, and if it is recommended, many people have a heart for the former court. I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse for such a person to be recruited into the court!
So from my point of view, this kind of person must be cleared out sooner or later!

Under such circumstances, if someone, especially the Kong family, tells me this strategy, I will probably agree with it!

Just like sending auspicious luck last time, even if I don’t know the tricks in it, it’s just a vaccination method,

I will also promote it!
So, this child, knows me very well...

Do I have so many records in the future history books? "

After all, it is not a pleasant thing to be seen through by others, and Lao Zhu couldn't help getting angry for no reason.

"Zhang Yi may not be able to convince the Kong family, Kong Na can't decide this matter alone!"

Zhu Biao quickly changed the subject, saying:

"So all of this is just Zhang Yi's wishful thinking. He doesn't know Kong Xixue, and Kong Kejian, the former Yan Shenggong, is half dead...

It will take decades for Kong Na to inherit the position of Lord Yansheng!

So he just complained, father don't mind! "

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he gradually calmed down his anger.

Zhang Yi can affect Kong Na, but cannot affect Kong Kejian, let alone Kong Xixue...

If he settles today, there is a high probability that he will also be an idler.
It may take more than ten years or decades before the cause planted today will bear fruit.

But he is small enough, and there is plenty of time to wait for the results he wants.

"One child will be left decades later, this kid can do it!"

Old Zhu knew some problems, he didn't need to face them now, so he relaxed inexplicably.

"It's just Father, if Kong Na really follows Zhang Yi's plan in the future, I will offer you the Dragon Slaying Saber!

Will you take it over and kill Confucianism with your own hands? "

Faced with this question, Lao Zhu remained silent for a while.

It is true that this dragon-slaying knife is aimed at Confucianism, but it will also hurt the king.

Based on this alone, Zhu Yuanzhang should refuse without hesitation.

only……

Zhang Yi also said that this kind of change is a general trend and cannot be stopped.

What he did was just secretly pushing in the course of history.

Does the emperor need to accept Zhang Yi's layout and conform to this general trend?

When Lao Zhu was in a dilemma, the eunuch Wang Gonggong who suddenly ran in rescued him.

"Your Majesty, this old slave has something important to report!"

His voice interrupted the discussion between the Zhu family and his son!
　Ask for a monthly pass!
