People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 257 The Chamber Pot Says, the Desire to Survive Carved in the Bone

Although Zhang Yi is not as arrogant as Liu Ji, he insists on competing with those people in Huaixi.

But because of their hometown, Liu Ji and him are destined to be members of the Eastern Zhejiang School.

The Zhedong faction didn't know whether the emperor was intentional or unintentional, most of them were civil servants, and they were speech officials.

Zhang Cundao wanted to make meritorious service, but he also wanted to find a fulcrum for Zhedong in the army.

But he also understands that the battlefield of the Northern Expedition is the battlefield of old brothers like Lao Zhu, even if there are one or two people who are from the east of Zhejiang, it will not help.

But if Zhedong produces a martial artist, it will be a good thing for the entire Zhedong Group.

Sailors, many people in the coastal provinces are people who go to sea to make a living. It would be good if these people are trained as sailors.

Zhang Yi had a panoramic view of Zhang Yi's joy, noncommittal.

No one is a sage, everyone has a position.

Zhang Yi was born in Eastern Zhejiang, and it is only natural that he wants to strengthen the Eastern Zhejiang faction.

Zhang Yi didn't know why the emperor made such an arrangement, and he didn't bother to think about it.

Anyway, he shouldn't care about this matter, so he doesn't think about it.

After some comfort from him, Zhang Yi somewhat recovered from his grief. He thought that he had finished asking what he should have asked, and it was time to leave.

On the other side, Song Lian continued to copy "Yuan Shi" as if no one was around.

The more he copied, the more frightened he became.

Zhang Yi really made history alone?
Whether he believes it or not, at least the history written by this child is a very complete and rigorous history book.

Although Song Lian vaguely feels that this history is still rough.

But this is written by a person himself, so there is nothing to complain about.

Zhang Yi was about to leave, but Song Lian never finished copying.

However, he did not insist on staying here, but silently put away the part he copied.

He saluted Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi returned the salute.

The more Song Lian looked at Zhang Yi, the more he liked Zhang Yi. How wonderful this child is!

Why did I still have prejudice against him before?

He was originally a person who liked to make friends with high-level people, although Song Lian essentially used Confucianism to judge the other party's evaluation of high-level people.

If a monk or a Taoist could read the classics well, Song Lian would give them a high regard.

If the other party can only talk about ghosts and gods, Song Lian will look down on him in his heart.

Zhang Yi studied history alone, advocated mathematics to be admitted to the imperial examination, and the matter of saving Kong Kejian, these things add up to enough to set up a high-level Taoist, even a fairy.

What's more, his ability to see a person's bad luck.

Needless to say.

The two left Qingxin Temple, and Zhang Yi watched Zhang Yi and Song Lian leave.

"Well, after the fish is hooked, the next step is to wait for Mr. Song to set the price!"

He turned around and went back to tease Meng Yao.

However, Song Lian and Zhang Yi have their own concerns because of their pure-hearted outlook.

Zhang Yi is going back to his hometown, and he doesn't want to delay for a moment.

After he returned home, he started busy packing up his things and preparing to leave. Of course, before he left, he didn't forget to ask someone to send a letter from home to Zhang Cundao, so that he would be mentally prepared for the future.

But Song Lian brought the manuscript into the palace immediately.

He didn't go to the emperor immediately, but went to the East Palace.

Prince Zhu Biao is here today.

"Teacher, why are you here today?"

Zhu Biao put down his homework, got up and saluted Song Lian.

He hasn't attended Song Lian's class for some days.

"His Royal Highness, look..."

Song Lian couldn't wait, and handed some manuscripts to Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao picked it up and looked at it, and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

However, after practicing in the Book of Songs, Zhu Biao has also practiced some city mansions.

He feigned surprise:
"Teacher, is this your finished manuscript?"

Song Lian's tone was excited, he shook his head:
"No, the old man can't compile Yuan History so quickly by himself. This manuscript was written by a genius. Your Highness, what do you think?"

Zhu Biao had known who the "genius" was for a long time, and even he had a rough look at the manuscript.

He pretended to read the manuscripts of Yuan history, and Zhu Biao was also very curious. It turned out that the Yuan history compiled by Mr. Song was like this.

Zhu Biao knew where Zhang's younger brother's "Yuan History" came from.

To put it bluntly, this manuscript is actually the future achievement of Mr. Song.

It's just that the stingy Taoist priest of Qingxinguan used Song Lian's labor results as bait to catch Song Lian in order to avenge Huitan.

When he was reading, Song Lian was still in his ear. This book is so good, Zhu Biao became more and more stunned.

He took a deep breath and put the book down:
"Mr. Song, you have something to say!"

Song Lian said:
"Your Highness, the old man wants to recruit this person to revise Yuan History together..."

Zhu Biao smiled but not smiled:

"Then why Mr. Song didn't tell Father, but came to me instead?"

Song Lian blushed, because he was afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang's punishment, so he thought of taking a detour from Zhu Biao's side.

It is a very serious matter to revise the history books of previous dynasties.

Just because he can preside over the revision of Yuan History does not mean that he can let people of unknown origin join the revision team at will.

Not even someone like Zhang Yi who is no stranger to the emperor.

The last time Zhu Yuanzhang gave Song Lian half a year to know the emperor's attitude towards Xiu Yuan History.

He wanted to compile a good history book, but the emperor didn't mind it.

Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards the revision of Yuan history is to fulfill the responsibility of a new dynasty to the old dynasty.

Compiling history for the previous dynasty has always been a tradition in China.

Zhu Yuanzhang respects this tradition, but it doesn't mean he likes the previous dynasty.

Song Lian was very worried that if he went out of the way, would it cause dissatisfaction with the emperor, and eventually affect the history of the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhu Biao understood that Mr. Song had completely fallen into Zhang's younger brother's trap.

But next, let's see how he will slowly take away the place of Xiuyuan History from Tianjie Temple?

In this matter, he was going to be a melon eater, and he didn't interfere too much.

So he shook his head:
"Mr. Song, you must understand Father's attitude, he doesn't have a good impression of the previous dynasty!

As the chief executive who wrote and edited "Yuan History", it is your pursuit as a scholar to complete this book!

But as far as my father is concerned, he is just following my Huaxia practice to complete a job!
Even, if the new emperor was not responsible for the history revision of the previous dynasty, I am afraid that the father would not want to intervene in this matter

You use this to trouble him, don't you find something to do for yourself? "

When Song Lian heard this, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Zhang Yi was the talent he wanted with all his heart, and even, it was the key that allowed him to complete the emperor's order within a limited time and to compile a history book that he was satisfied with.

For someone like him, power is only secondary.

Learning is the number one priority in Song Lian's heart.

"Sir, it's not that I won't help you!
After helping, it will be a disservice!

But since Mr. loves talent so much, he can reuse him in another way!

As for the method, I have no idea!
Bengong believes that Mr. will find it by himself! "

Zhu Biao's attitude is very good, but the meaning of rejection is also very firm.

Disappointed, Song Lian could only turn around and leave.

When he returned home, his family told him that Master Huitan, the abbot of Tianjie Temple, sent his disciples to greet him today, and Song Lian waved his hands casually.

Although he has a good relationship with Master Huitan, this is not the time for him to chat with him.

Song Lian took the manuscript and sat in the study all night.

He came back early the next morning and went to the Qingxin Temple immediately.

Just looking at it with a clear mind, Song Lian was in vain.

Lao Meng told him that Zhang Yi was in Chaotian Palace, and Song Lian went to Chaotian Palace without stopping.

When he came to Chaotian Palace, Song Lian saw Zhang Yi at the door.

This little Taoist priest is directing the current abbot of Chaotian Palace, Deng Zhongxiu. What is the Taoist priest commanding Chaotian Palace writing on the wall?
He originally thought that this was probably similar to what monasteries and Taoist temples often write about, such as Amitabha Buddha and immeasurable gods.

But Song Lian took a closer look, his eyes darkened.

On the wall at the gate of Chaotian Palace, it is impressively written "Loyal to the emperor and patriotic, long live your majesty!"

This Longhushan flattered him, it was extremely shameless.

Zhang Yi and Deng Zhongxiu commanded from a distance, Bing Mie noticed Song Lian coming.

Song Lian asked the servant to wait, and he walked over by himself.

"Junior brother, is this too nasty?"

Not only Song Lian, but Deng Zhongxiu was probably also speechless by Zhang Yi's action.

Zhang Yiyu said earnestly:

"Brother, you don't understand now. This is not my junior brother, but asking for a talisman for us at Longhu Mountain. Not only did you do this to Tiangong, but I also wrote to your brother. From now on, all the monasteries in Longhushan will be To do this?
In the future, in all the Taoist temples we are working together, in addition to teaching simplified Chinese characters and farming knowledge, ideological education courses must be arranged!

Not only the common people have to take ideological education classes, but also Taoist priests in our Taoist temples!

Looking back, I'll compile a few textbooks and send them to Dad when the time comes!

This matter must be arranged before he goes north again! "

Zhang Yi attached great importance to this matter, and when talking to Deng Zhongxiu, he was also very serious.

Only then did Deng Zhongxiu realize that Zhang Yi did not do this on a whim.

"Brother, you are now considered a prince in our Longhushan system, you can no longer be as simple as before!

After all, junior brother, I can't protect you for the rest of my life, you have to learn to see clearly where you are!

You go first, Your Majesty has approved our qualification to run a school. Will this matter be good for Longhushan?

there must be!
The Medicine King Taishang prevailed, and Longhushan took back the Chaotian Palace.

After the restoration of Chaotian Palace, it must be more than just an ordinary Taoist temple!

All of this is good for Longhushan,
But one of them also contains risks! "

"But aren't we doing things for His Majesty?"

Deng Zhongxiu didn't understand, Zhang Yi said:
"Yes, but our Buddhism and Taoism are also existences that His Majesty is on guard against!

Think about it, what name did His Majesty use when he rebelled?
In this Buddhist and Taoist sect, there will always be a few bad characters in troubled times.

To run a school is to spread ideas!

It is to expand the influence!
Even if what we teach is just technology that has nothing to do with thinking, it is a low-level trick that Confucian scholar-bureaucrats look down on.

But enlightenment itself is a very big hidden danger.

So we must let His Majesty see that we are good Taoist priests who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic to the country, this cannot be overemphasized..."

Deng Zhongxiu: ...

Junior brother, if you want His Majesty to believe that you are loyal and patriotic, it may be a bit difficult!
As far as your posture of not blacking out His Majesty's itchy mouth these three days, it is his kindness that His Majesty did not execute you Ling Chi...

Ever since he saw His Majesty's true face at the Conferred God Stage, Zhang Normal also did his homework with Deng Zhongxiu.

His Majesty approached his younger brother as a businessman Huang He, and established a deep relationship.

Zhang Yi laughed and cursed angrily, scolding the emperor in front of the emperor, this is a routine operation.

Thinking about it now, Deng Zhongxiu was terrified and wanted to stay away from him.

His little heart couldn't bear such explosive news.

Zhang Yi didn't notice the complexity in Xiao Deng's eyes, and continued:

"Education will make the people have a strong sense of trust in the instructors, and with the blessing of religion, it is easy to go astray!

Even if our roots are good and young, we have to prevent people from underground from taking advantage of this trust and doing bad things!
This is actually the same as the imperial court governing the world!
Why did the imperial court use Confucianism, because Confucianism also emphasizes loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and those officials at the bottom can talk about it, but the tone must be raised!
Our two schools of Buddhism and Taoism are no better than Confucianism, and scholars and bureaucrats can still wrestle with His Majesty!
We are a chamber pot!

I need it when I need it, but if Your Majesty thinks it stinks...

That would be fun! "

Deng Zhongxiu didn't know if he understood, but Song Lian was standing not far behind the two brothers and sisters, but his heart was shocked.

The child Zhang Yi simply engraved the three characters of desire to survive in his bones.

Many old foxes who have been in the officialdom for many years may not have his awareness.

Says the chamber pot!
This metaphor simply describes the current situation of both Buddhism and Taoism.

"This kid sees things more clearly than Hui Tan's eminent monks!
Those people wholeheartedly want to make Buddhism prosper and make Taoism flourish forever!

As everyone knows, this is the beginning of the disaster...

With this awareness, this person is definitely a genius who rejuvenated the Taoist sect and suppressed the Buddhist sect again! "

Although Song Lian had been a Taoist priest, he didn't have a good impression of Taoism.

Back then, he went to the mountains to practice Taoism, essentially because he didn't want to be an official in the Yuan Dynasty, so he wanted to find a place to write books.

The evaluation of eminent monks and great virtues in his bones is also whether this person has attainments in poetry, prose and sacred studies, but it is the first time that he has a very high evaluation of a Taoist priest because of factors other than these.

"Cough cough!"

Hearing this, Song Lian coughed twice on purpose.

Zhang Yi and Deng Zongxiu turned their heads and found the old guy.

Zhang Yi's expression remained unchanged, and he shouted enthusiastically:
"Mr. Song! Why are you here?"

His natural affinity was quickly infected after Song Lian got rid of his prejudice against him.

With the mystery of the high way and the wisdom of seeing through the world, when Zhang Yi laughed, he also had the innocence of a child of his age.

He couldn't help but patted Zhang Yi's head, feeling an emotion similar to family happiness.

"The old man came here this time to ask for something!"

Song Lian went straight to the point, explaining his purpose of coming.

Zhang Yi naturally knew what Song Lian wanted in his heart.

He asked Deng Zhongxiu to arrange a quiet room for him in Chaotian Palace!
When only two people were left looking at each other alone, Song Lian said:
"The old man would like to ask you to revise the Yuan History together..."

"Well, I refuse!"

Zhang Yi didn't give Song Lian any illusions, and he didn't even want to refuse.

Song Lian became anxious immediately. In his opinion, Zhang Yi was his only hope.

"why?"

"Pindao doesn't want to go to Tianjie Temple..."

See you Zhang Yitu!
