People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 180 Mad at Old Zhu, the ideal of the poor
Kong Kejian chatted with the emperor for a while, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

After Kong Ke confessed his guilt, although Kong Xixue didn't know his father's thoughts, he could only obey.

In the name of Yan Shenggong, he stated the same thing again, which was to set the tone for this matter.

Zhu Biao watched everything silently, and he could already feel the shocking scene in the future court.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang gave the Kong family a name of a traitor, in fact, most people would not think that the Kong family had much crime.

After all, the north and south of China have been ruled by the Mongols for nearly a hundred years.

The concept of the distinction between Hua and Barbarians has long since disappeared.

But the Confucian family's guilt is tantamount to sacrificing their own reputation to add justice to the emperor.

This is to use the hearts of the people of the Confucian family to carry the sedan chair for the emperor.

This is a benefit that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't even ask for.

It is also far more useful than Zhu Yuanzhang killing Kong Kejian.

The emperor held a banquet in honor of the father and son of the Kong family, and watched the grandpa and grandson leave the palace.

"Father, this doesn't look like the courage that an old master Confucius should have..."

"Hmph, if Kong Kejian can really be enlightened, then he won't do the foolish things before. This is not a sudden awakening, but someone poured him a potion..."

"The younger brother of the Zhang family?"

"Hmm! This kid has done a lot of tricks behind his back!"

Although Lao Zhu scolded Zhang Yi, he couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Yi, at least so far, has been his lucky star.

It is a great credit to win the old stubborn Kong Kejian and let the Kong family sacrifice a century-old reputation to elevate Zhu Yuanzhang's status.

"This little guy, I don't even know what to reward him?"

Lao Zhu, who has always been stingy, is rarely generous.

"Go back and ask that kid!"

Lao Zhu is a short-tempered person, if it wasn't so late today, he would want to go out that night.

But not today, he couldn't wait to get out of the palace the next day after he went to court.

When we arrived at Qingxin Temple, the Taoist temple didn't even open the gate.

Anyway, there are not many people in the Qingxin Temple where the incense is withered, and the two Taoist priests who are stationed in the temple have no intention of running the Taoist temple.

Zhu Biao stepped forward to knock on the door, and Deng Zhongxiu opened the door just now.

"Master Huang, is it so early today?"

Deng Zhongxiu who opened the door was dripping with sweat.

Old Zhu joked: "Little Deng, what did you do, it feels like you were fished out of the water?"

Deng Zhongxiu smiled foolishly:
"It's not that the younger brother asked me to learn martial arts from Master Lao Mo, and the master is training the two of us!"

"Not bad!"

Zhu Yuanzhang knew about this matter from Li Qingmo's secret performance, so he was not surprised.

The father and son walked into the backyard alone, listening vaguely to the movement behind them.

"Little real, I have nothing to teach you! You learn too fast...

I can't even figure out why it only takes half a day for you to learn everything!
There are a lot of details in this set of boxing techniques, and it took me ten days to figure out what's inside.
With you, two hours..."

Zhang Yi in the yard smiled, he also felt that he was a bit perverted.

To some extent, his memory is more powerful in forming muscle memory than recalling the information of previous lives,
From the point of view of martial arts, he is probably the so-called genius.

It's a pity that in this world, no matter how strong martial arts are, there are limits.

Zhang Yi has completely learned the Taijiquan restored by Lao Mo, and he has even learned ninety-ninety percent of the marksmanship and staff techniques that Lao Mo deduced from Taijiquan.

But it's still the same, Kong has skills, his bones have not grown, no matter how good his skills are, he can't beat Deng Zhongxiu with his bare hands.

If you add a dagger and use cold weapons to smooth out the gap in physical strength, there is still a little chance.

He was about to speak when he saw Zhu's father and son coming in. Zhang Yu dropped the stick in his hand and laughed loudly:
"Uncle Huang, Brother Huang, why are you here?"

"If you don't come again, you will be stabbed to the ground!"

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes and directly resented.

Zhang Yi chuckled and was not angry. The friendship between the Huang family father and son and him has long been like a family member.

With the fermentation of Yang Xian's incident, Zhang Yi's reputation has spread to some extent, but the view of pure heart is still so deserted, it is because some people are jealous of that narrow-minded right minister.

The Huang family father and son still dared to come to the door at this time, instead of choosing to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, Zhang Yi recognized the friendship between the two of them.

"So you know?"

Tang Zhongxiu went to make tea and brought the tea.

Li Qingmo took Xiao Deng to train, leaving only Zhu's father and son and Zhang Yi.

Take a sip of water.

As soon as Zhang Yi finished speaking, Lao Zhu sneered:

"Don't you know, who in Yingtian's restaurant is not talking about you, the leader of Longhu Mountain?

Until you scold the prime minister, the name of Zhongshan wolf has spread throughout Yingtianfu!

If the prime minister doesn't kill you, I feel sorry for his official position!
You are good enough, who is not easy to mess with, you go to mess with the prime minister?
Your father can't handle this matter! "

Lao Zhu held back his anger and fired directly at Zhang Yi.

Regarding Zhongshan wolf, Zhang Yi was indeed not smart enough.

"No wonder your father said you were a demon star, I thought he was biased, who knew that once your child caused trouble, he would cause a huge disaster?
Who is Yang Xiangna?Under two people, above ten thousand people!
If he intends to deal with you, not to mention you, even the entire Longhu Mountain will be in danger! "

With a smile, Zhang Yi quietly listened to Lao Zhu's furious cursing.

Zhu Yuanzhang's scolding, in his understanding, is the concern of the elders for him.

Old Zhu cursed and cursed, but found that the kid didn't even have the slightest attitude of introspection. He leisurely poured a glass of water, held it in his hands, and smiled.

The emperor's head was as big as a bucket, and this kid looked like he didn't want to get in. If he was his own son, Lao Zhu would have kicked him.

Although he knew that Zhang Yi would not be in danger, he still hoped that this kid would learn a lesson.

"Actually, uncle, there is no need to be so afraid, Yang Xian is not as dangerous as you imagined...

Besides, even if he is dangerous, there is nothing I can do about it?

With his temperament, no matter what I do, I will offend him, and I can't run away even if I want to!

Instead of passively waiting for him to come and harm me, I might as well make a big fuss, in exchange for that person's attention, at least I'll be safer! "

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent. Yang Xian was the one he mentioned, but Zhang Yi seemed to have a very bad opinion of him.

This kind of frustration made Lao Zhu feel a little uncomfortable.

"Actually, you don't have to worry. Whether Yang Xian can keep himself is unknown. Although the fate has been deflected a bit, I have confidence in him!
He will definitely be able to mention the achievements of copying and chopping all over the family! "

"Is he that bad?"

Lao Zhu was a little depressed, denying Yang Xian was tantamount to denying himself.

"If it wasn't for the Northern and Southern List, the emperor would be a waste if he couldn't find the Northern official!
His original fate, at most, could only be Zhongshu Zuocheng, and he was killed by the emperor within a month!
Why should I care about such a person? "

Zhang Yi's evaluation of Yang Xian can be said to be extremely low.

It has reached the point of being dismissive, the more he said that, the more panicked Zhu Yuanzhang was.

"You said his fate has changed, he should be better now?"

Zhu Yuanzhang became rebellious, always wanting to prove something?
Zhang Yi rolled his eyes and replied '
"The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change!
In fact, this is the same reason as Uncle, you asked me why I am not worried about Yang Xian!
I made things big to protect myself, but why do I have the confidence to protect myself?
It's because I believe in our emperor!
In other dynasties, a prime minister like Yang Xian would have a thousand ways to kill me for any reason!
But in the Hongwu Dynasty, it was safe for me to make a big fuss!
Our Majesty is different from other emperors. What he most taboos about his subjects is using power for personal gain!Even if you are the prime minister, you must pay attention to this!
If I am unknown, Yang Xian will find an excuse to kill me, and naturally I will not be noticed by His Majesty!

But now His Majesty knows that I am such a person, as long as Yu Shitai is watching, I will be fine! "

What Zhang Yi said made Lao Zhu stunned, and immediately he had mixed feelings.

His understanding of himself is indeed beyond too many people.

Because of his past experience, Lao Zhu was extremely afraid of the abuse of power by his courtiers.
He has experienced the pain caused by these corrupt officials and dereliction of duty, so he can't see officials abusing their power.

It may be hypocritical to say that he loves the people like his son, but it can be said that he empathizes with the emperor.

He can weigh the pros and cons, turn a blind eye to certain things, but it doesn't mean he will forgive such things.

Maybe the emperor who was born in a powerful family would be surprised by these things, or compromise for political purposes, but in his words, the word compromise rarely appeared.

"It's not easy for a civil servant to kill me, if he uses someone like a soldier, the emperor can kill him the next day!

Civil servants cannot interfere with military power, Yang Xian wants to move me, nothing more than to report to the emperor!
So, if I want to save my life, I have to go along with the man in the palace recently to make him feel that I or the Longhu Mountain behind me have a little value!
When he is happy, I have a chance to survive!

Our Majesty should be very happy recently! "

Zhu Biao's scalp was numb, and he looked back at the emperor.

Old Zhu guessed right, Kong Kejian's so-called act of atonement was really pushed by Zhang Yi behind the scenes.

This kid sent himself a big gift, but it was for self-protection?
Old Zhu has mixed feelings, no wonder this guy has been more active in the past few days than in the past few months, he is still working very hard to save his life.

"What have you done, can you still influence that person in the palace?"

"It's just to help him solve some things that bother him. My relationship with the Kong family is still good...

It was just to convince their old man to ask the emperor to plead guilty! "

Zhang Yi didn't deliberately hide this matter. He knew that the Huang family and his son cared about him, so he simply told everything that happened during this period.

Including Zhang Yi's meeting with the emperor, he also said it with a hint of excitement.

"His Majesty the Emperor was there that day, and he actually paid attention to my case, so I said that our king likes to take care of everything!
This is probably a common problem of some strong parents, and it feels like the world can't do without him! "

Zhang Yi usually blackmails Lao Zhu, and Lao Zhu blows his beard and stares angrily when he hears this.

Although he had to take care of everything, he wouldn't even personally interfere with the affairs of a little Taoist priest who wasn't even the eldest son of Longhushan.

Didn't he go there because he cared about this kid?
Good guy, he made himself worthless later.

Zhu Biao held back his laughter, and quickly turned his head away from meeting the emperor's eyes.
Old Zhu's stinky face of "I have set my heart to the bright moon, but Zhang Yi, the bright moon's heart to the ditch", is full of grievances.

It really exploded.

"So what did you do?
What deal did you make with the Kong family that made Kong Kejian trust you so much? "

"I let the Kong family sin against themselves, which is their way out!
Although the emperor would not do anything to them, but in the end of the Ming Dynasty, it would be difficult for the Kong family to gain the emperor's trust.

The so-called breaking the boat, paying enough price, they can restore the lost trust!
I just instruct them to pay a little price, everything is the choice of Mr. Kong!

Ok……

By the way, teach them to do something! "

Zhu's father and son squinted their eyes, Zhang Yi was a little embarrassed,

There are many things he has never said to others, but he can still talk to Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao.

"That is, to help the Confucian family implement simplified characters!"

"Good boy, you told me earlier how the Confucianism died, and you want the Kong family to help you slay the dragon?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was angry and laughed at the same time. Even if he knew about Zhang Yi's plan, he wondered why this kid got into trouble?
Zhang Yi is definitely not a person with any ideals and ambitions, which Zhu Yuanzhang believes very much.

He would want to make a little money, but he would never wade into the muddy waters of power.

Not to mention anything else, if he hadn't sent him to Guozixue himself, he guessed that he wouldn't even bother going out of the Taoist temple.

The emperor pushed Zhang Yi forward from behind, hoping that he would leave more valuable prophecies for himself. Judging from what happened to Xu Cunren, he was actually taking the right step.

But then again, once Zhang Yi really learns this method, so what if he wants to take the initiative to change the world?

Being able to predict the future, he has the means to subtly change the world.

However, what he thinks is correct, is it the same for him?
"You want to make the world's scholars worthless because of revenge for those officials who dragged you down?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked, Zhang Yi shrugged:

"Part of it, but I wanted to push through Konne from the start!
Those intriguing people are not worthy of my putting too much energy on them. I do these things, how can I put it, I want to make up for my regrets! "

"Pity?"

When Zhang Yi talked about this, the regret in his eyes didn't look like a disguise.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at each other, wanting to ask for clarification.

"The reason for disseminating simplified characters is to reduce the illiteracy rate...Only by mastering reading and writing can one acquire knowledge...

Knowledge in our current China is basically equated with Confucianism, but it is not the case!
Arithmetic is knowledge, architecture is knowledge, ballistics is knowledge...

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen all have their own way and inheritance!
But these inheritances cannot build their own systems, nor can they form their own disciplines...

Those who master the cultural inheritance are all seeking fame and fame, but they have never driven changes in the world from the bottom!
That being the case, why not make the cost of enlightenment lower, so that many people who cannot read books can master the method of spreading knowledge!

Breaking the monopoly of knowledge inheritance, people will not think that the way of writing is just empty talk!

Let reading become no longer the patent of Confucianism, but the ideal of the poor! "

Zhang Yi's tone was flat, but it was the first time he mentioned his thoughts.

For a long time, he just wanted to be a spectator.

From Chang's vaccination method, to the success of mathematics in the imperial examination, more and more butterfly effects have occurred.

He also seems to have found his purpose.

Speaking of which, the source of his thoughts was the father and son in front of him.

However, Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang had shock in their eyes, but they never understood.

They wouldn't understand why he was full and had nothing to do, and wanted to change the world?

Because sorry!

"What kind of regret?
Because of the future you glimpsed? "

Zhu Yuanzhang caught the key to the problem, and Zhang Yi nodded silently.
