People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 255 Half of Yuan History, Song Lian Takes the Bait
"Old Zhang, take care of yourself!"

Seeing that Zhang Yi was trembling, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kneel down. He took three steps and two steps, and rushed directly in front of Zhang Yi, rushing to support him.

Lao Zhang was very excited.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing today...?"

He looked Zhu Yuanzhang up and down, why did the emperor come to his house in casual clothes?

Zhu Yuanzhang is a little embarrassed, he can't say that he came to see you because he went to Qingxin Temple, right?
"I don't want to make a big show, I just want to come and see Mr.!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was serious and flickering, but Song Lian was very moved.

It is the honor of the courtiers for the emperor to come to see a doctor in person.

If it was a private visit through a microservice, it would appear that the emperor really regarded himself as one of his own.

This kind of favor instantly resolved the little grievance in Zhang Yi's heart, even Liu Ji, Xu Cunren, and Song Lian were also moved.

"Let His Majesty worry, the minister deserves death!"

"Death, that's not enough, this world, this country, still needs talents like Mr.!"

With Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the light in Zhang Yi's eyes dimmed a bit.

Does the emperor mean that he is not going to let him go?
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang said next:

"Mr. Ding You, you have to take care of yourself!
I look forward to the day you come back! "

"His Majesty!"

Zhang Yi really didn't expect that before Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to resign, he had already agreed to Ding You.

Lao Zhang was immediately moved to tears.

The others also looked at each other in blank dismay, Lao Zhu is so easy to talk to?
It is said that the emperor is mean, but at critical moments, His Majesty is reliable!

Zhu Yuanzhang comforted Zhang Yi softly:
"What happened to Lingtang, I really didn't expect it!

Even if you go back, you must pay attention to your body!

In the future, I will ask the imperial physician to prescribe some prescriptions for you to take care of your body, take good care of it! "

Zhang Yi moved his head and nodded.

Old Zhu turned back to Zhang Cunhou and said:

"Accompany your father back home and be filial!
The members of your Zhang family are all good, I can see it!
By the way, that boy Cun Dao, I have arrangements for him, I want to ask your opinion! "

Zhang Yi quickly said:
"Your Majesty, it is his blessing that you want to arrange for Taoism to be preserved, so you don't need to ask me!"

"You are his father after all, so what if I don't ask you?"

When the emperor arrived, everyone present became uncomfortable.

Lao Zhu waved his hand and told them to sit down.

"I set up a naval army, and you all know that the Xuanwu army is short of a leader. I want to transfer him over..."

Zhang Yi was taken aback when he heard the words, the emperor actually wanted to transfer Zhang Cundao to the Xuanwu Army?

He lowered his head and understood why the emperor said that.

The Xuanwu Army is a water army that the emperor suddenly decided to form, beyond everyone's expectations.

Because from the beginning, what Zhu Yuanzhang revealed was that he didn't pay much attention to the navy.

And after the formation of the Xuanwu Army, Lao Zhu didn't mean to reuse this army. Anyway, it was just drills and shipbuilding, and nothing else could be seen?

Zhang Cundao is a soldier, a soldier who wants to make contributions.

Now the north is the main battlefield of Ming Dynasty, who doesn't want to go to the north to make contributions.

The entire imperial court was not sure about His Majesty's idea of ​​setting up the Xuanwu Army.

The greatest possibility is that the Xuanwu Army will become a protective force for transporting grain to the north in the future.

But the capital of Ming Dynasty has long been in the south, which is no bigger than the previous dynasty.

So after all the calculations, everyone felt that this navy had no future.

"Your Majesty just arrange it!"

Although Zhang Yi was not satisfied with Lao Zhu's arrangement, he still agreed for his son.

Lao Zhu, a fine man, can naturally see what he's thinking, but he doesn't say anything.

Zhang Cundao is one of the few generals in the Ming Dynasty who has experience in water warfare. Under the premise that all the veterans in the Ming Dynasty who have experience in water warfare are all on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition.

He is in charge of the training of the Xuanwu Army, which is worthy of the name.

"Mr. Zhang, I know you are worried, but don't worry, if Cun Dao does well, he will at least be a martial artist in the future..."

Old Zhu's words shocked the minds of the old fellows present.

The emperor didn't say anything more, but he also gave them a hint.

Liu Bowen's face turned pale. He remembered what happened in the imperial study yesterday. Could it be that the emperor didn't give up on that thought?
This is the emperor, beat him on purpose?

Zhu Yuanzhang would not give Liu Bowen an accurate answer. After he finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye to Zhang Yi.

A group of people rushed out to see off Lao Zhu, but Lao Zhu stopped them all back.

After getting into the carriage, Lao Zhu felt better.

"That kid is right, it's useless to keep him in Zhang Yi's state, but it will give me a mean name in the history books!
fair enough……"

Old Zhu was talking to himself, but Zhu Biao didn't say a word the whole time.

After the emperor's chariot and horses left, Liu Bowen and others also had to leave.

"Your Majesty treats people of our department very well..."

Before Zhang Yi and the others left, they held Song Lian's hand:
"Master, you and I will visit Zhang Yi together tomorrow!"

Song Lian nodded upon hearing this.

……

Early the next morning.

Zhang Yi woke up from his sleep.

He was just about to call Senior Brother Deng when he suddenly remembered that Deng Zhongxiu was not there long ago.

After going out, Xiao Mengyao came over with breakfast.

After Deng Zhongxiu left, Zhang Yi was the only Taoist priest in this Taoist temple, and he had to deal with the affairs of the Taoist temple himself.

Zhang Normal and Deng Zhongxiu, who has become the host of Chaotian Palace, originally wanted to send someone to serve him, but Zhang Yi flatly refused.

There are more and more messy things in his Taoist temple, and he really doesn't like people to live in Taoist temples if he is not a trustworthy person.

Deng Zhongxiu was not there. Fortunately, Lao Meng's family looked at the medicine garden. Although the medicine garden and the Taoist temple were separated by a door, rounding it up, it was almost equivalent to someone serving him.

Lao Meng belongs to the kind of simple and honest person with a heart, and he also sincerely thanks Zhang Yi for the changes he brought to their family.

Although he is not a Taoist priest, Lao Meng also took care of the Taoist temple before preparing for the spring plowing. In addition to Li Qingmo who is not leaving, Zhang Yi can be regarded as a man of command.

Not only that, since Li Shi and Meng Yao appeared in Zhang Yi's life, his diet has also changed a lot.

Although Mrs. Li was born as a daughter, she has been making soup with Lao Meng all these years, and her skills are online.

In addition, Zhang Yi taught her some dim sum recipes for later generations. This beautiful woman has lived a rare leisurely and peaceful time in the second half of her life, and she is responsible for making delicious food in different ways!
Chinese style, Western style, as long as it is Zhang Yihui's, what can be made in this world, Li can make it in different ways.

For example, today, Mrs. Li's breakfast is a bowl of hot and spicy soup.

Zhang Yi doesn't know if it's authentic or not, but he can use pepper, which is still a precious spice even though it has been introduced to China for a long time. Even though Zhang Yi ordered it, Li Shi also feels distressed.

Xiao Mengyao looked at this bowl of Hu spicy soup eagerly, her eyes full of envy.

"do you like eating it?"

Seeing Xiao Mengyao, Zhang Yi swallowed his saliva and teased her.

"Mother said, this thing is very expensive, only the little landlord can eat it..."

"Wrong, call me Brother Little Landlord!"

"Well, little landlord brother!"

"Since it's the elder brother, it's reasonable for the elder brother to share some with the younger sister?"

"Uh-huh!"

When Meng Yao heard this, her eyes lit up.

She was still anxious to turn her head, for fear that her mother would appear behind her.

Zhang Yi smiled, he went to find a bowl, gave Meng Yao half a bowl of Hu spicy soup, and said:
"This thing is drinking and singing Xiao Zhang at the same time, you sit down, it's very good..."

Xiao Mengyao didn't understand Zhang Yihei's father's stalking, her attention was already on the small bowl of Hu spicy soup.

The chill in early spring is still heavy, and a bowl of Hu spicy soup exuding residual warmth is a temptation to everyone.

Xiao Mengyao took a hard bite, and tears burst out of her eyes instantly.

Meng Yao was caught off guard and burst into tears.

"Wow, my mother is deceiving, the little landlord is deceiving, this hot and spicy soup is not good at all..."

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Yi laughed heartlessly.

While crying, Meng Yao stuffed the Hu spicy soup into her mouth.

"If you think it's spicy, don't eat it!"

"No, mother said not to waste food, it's very expensive..."

Seeing her crying while eating, Zhang Yi never stopped smiling:
"This is much cuter than that girl from the Xu family. This is what a child should look like, not like someone..."

Zhang Yi was complaining, when Mrs. Li walked in.

Like a thief who was caught, Meng Yao ran to hide behind Zhang Yi in fright.

"Meng Yao, you said it belongs to the master..."

"Auntie Li, don't blame her. I tricked Meng Yao into drinking it. Look at her, she's crying!"

Li Shi sighed and took a deep look at Zhang Yi.

She said nothing more, but went on:
"Master, Lao Meng asked me to come in and tell you that there is an old man named Zhang Yi and Mr. Song who are looking for you. Looking at their demeanor and clothes, they should be officials!"

"Song, it can't be Song Lian, right?
Speaking of which, is Mr. Zhang okay? "

Zhang Yi probably guessed the identity of the person, and asked:
"You ask Lao Meng to take them to the study first, and I will meet them there..."

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he ate his hot and spicy soup slowly. It wasn't that he wanted to show off, but that when he knew Song Lian was coming, the plan in his mind was advanced. ,

People!

Since you want to create a high-level persona, why can't you run out with your face licked?
Mrs. Li nodded when she heard the words, and then went out to talk to Lao Meng.

Lao Meng dutifully took Zhang Yi and Song Lian to Zhang Yi's study.

"Later, my master is having morning class, so I'll be here soon!"

Zhang Yi and Song Lian nodded when they heard the words. It is a matter of course for Taoist priests to practice.

Lao Meng observed that Zhang Yi's body was a bit weak, and Chun Han made him wrap his clothes involuntarily.

He thoughtfully lit the metal wall that Zhang Yi had remodeled, and the room was immediately warmer.

"There's something about this stove!"

The two of them were bored, and when Lao Meng left, they began to study Zhang Yi's fireplace.

Metal fireplaces are a later design and minimize the risk of carbon dioxide poisoning.

It is the best weapon for heating.

"This thing looks very expensive, otherwise you can find that person to learn to build a set!"

Zhang Yi and Song Lian studied it for a while, but unfortunately gave up the idea of ​​owning it.

Metal, unique, the combination of these two factors is an expensive word, the officials of Ming Dynasty are generally considered poor, even if Zhang Yi's family has some wealth, it is the same.

Song Lian's interest quickly turned away from the fireplace, and his eyes fell on Zhang Yi's bookshelf.

Zhang Yi's bookshelf, at first glance, there are not many books he is interested in.

Just like Zhang Yi has no interest in the Four Books and Five Classics.

"The original manuscript of the Three Kingdoms, this book was actually written by him?"

Song Lian found something he was interested in on Zhang Yi's bookshelf. He took it down and looked at it, and his mind was shocked.

He usually does not only read sage books, he also likes to read some miscellaneous books.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the entertainment methods of the people at the bottom gradually tended to be popular from Yuan operas to story-telling novels.

Booksellers in the Ming Dynasty adapted a large number of Yuan operas into novels, which were very popular among the people.

Especially relying on story-telling novels, the profession of storyteller also appeared unconsciously.

Song Lian likes reading novels, especially many good novels have been published on the market recently.

Among them are "Journey to the West", which is adapted from a large number of legends that appeared in previous dynasties, and "Water Margin", which describes the romance of the Song Dynasty.

But Song Lian's favorite is "Three Kingdoms".

The characters in "Three Kingdoms" that he is familiar with are endowed with different personalities through romance.

Although compared with historical facts, there are many plots that contradict Li's in the romance.

But as a novel, it is very wonderful.

He had always felt that he had no chance to get together with the owner of this book, but he never thought that when he was at a loss, he accompanied his old friend to come here, but there was an unexpected harvest.

"This manuscript is definitely the original manuscript of "Three Kingdoms"!"

Song Lian talked to himself excitedly, and he flipped through the bookshelf again,
When he found out that "Journey to the West" and "Water Margin" were also written by one person, he was completely shocked.

Stuff like a novel cannot be put on the table.

But to be able to write a good-looking novel, at least it can be regarded as extraordinary literary talent.

Song Lian has always had a prejudice against Longhushan because of the matter of Confucius, but when he saw this bookshelf today, his mood suddenly changed.

"Mr. Song, what are you looking at?"

Zhang Yi walked over, Song Lian casually handed these manuscripts to Zhang Yi, what was he about to say?
When his gaze swept over the desk, he vaguely saw an open book.

This is a manuscript that is obviously not yet finished, and the pen and ink on it are freshly dried. Obviously, the owner was still writing yesterday.

Song Lian was not surprised that someone was writing the manuscript in the study, but he was quite surprised by the words on it.

He quickly picked up the book and read it, his body trembled.

Zhang Yi was puzzled, since entering this study, his old friend became abnormal.

He wanted to ask, but he heard movement outside.

"The poor man is late, sir, don't blame him!"

Zhang Yi pushed the door open and entered with a gentle smile.

This temperament, plus Zhang Yi was shocked by his prophecy, at first glance, he actually has a feeling of immortality.

He hurried back:

"It's okay, speaking of it, we are the ones who interrupted your Qingxiu!"

Zhang Yi chuckled:
"Xiao Dao is very pleased to see the old gentleman today!"

Zhang Yi understood what he meant. Last year, the other party said that if he couldn't survive the shock of his mother's death, he might not survive his doom.

Zhang Yi is indeed filial, but it doesn't mean he wants to die.

Because of Zhang Yi's reminder, he has indeed accepted the fact that his mother died.

"Thank you..."

Mr. Zhang Lao was about to thank Zhang Yi solemnly, when suddenly, Song Lian rushed to Zhang Yi like crazy,

His eyes were red, as if he wanted to swallow Zhang Yi.

"Mr. Song..."

Zhang Yi was afraid that Song Lian would hurt Zhang Yi, so he screamed nervously.

Song Lian ignored him and just stared at Zhang Yi:

"You wrote this thing?"

Song Lian asked in a low voice holding Zhang Yi's unfinished book.

Zhang Yi laughed, hehe...

It seems that Mr. Song has taken the bait!
