People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 27 Drug Testing, Kong Family and Zhang Family
Zhu Biao didn't make a fool of himself, he would report to the emperor exactly what he heard from Zhang Yi.

With Zhu Biao's narration, Lao Zhu's complexion also became cloudy and uncertain.

From the way of Chang Yuchun's death to the future fate of the girls of the Chang family and even the future fate of the Zhu family's descendants, Zhang Yi explained everything clearly, it depends on whether the emperor believes it or not.

The emperor didn't want to believe it at first, but Chang Sen's death clearly reminded Zhu Yuanzhang that Zhang Yi's words were likely to be true.

"Who dares to imprison my descendants?"

Zhu Yuanzhang had the same reaction as Zhu Biao. When talking about Zhu Biao's second son, he was furious.

He is the emperor who ruled the world, and Zhu Biao's son is the heir to the empire. Is this Ming Dynasty dead?How dare someone imprison his descendants?

Lao Zhu suddenly felt great fear. Could it be that there will be a big change in the Ming Dynasty?

Both father and son had ominous premonitions, but Zhang Yi did not get the answer.

"That crow's mouth, what good news does he have?"

Zhu Biao explained Zhang Yi's way of breaking the situation, and Lao Zhu fell into deep thought.

Chuanxiong and borneol are not rare medicines, especially borneol, also known as dipterocarp, is often used in incense and sacrifices, but when combined with Chuanxiong, can it treat heart disease?
Lao Zhu couldn't understand it himself, so he asked someone to call the imperial physician.

"Emperor Li, give me an analysis, whether these two medicines can cure heart disease?"

The imperial doctor pondered for a moment, then nodded:

"Your Majesty, among these two herbs, Chuanxiong is for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and it has the effect of treating heart disease, but it is mixed with dipterocarp, but I don't know what it is good for. May I ask Your Majesty where this prescription comes from?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said:

"Don't worry about it, this is a remnant of an ancient prescription. The specific effect of the prescription is to relieve the symptoms of heart disease when a heart attack occurs. You can use it to study and find the correct ratio for me! Before next spring, I want to see the complete prescription, Doctor Li, do you understand?"

Doctor Li heard the words and took the order.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again:
"I ask you, is there any medicine for smallpox?"

"Your Majesty, there is no cure, just resign yourself to fate!"

"Then if I take the abscess from a person with smallpox and inject it into someone else, will he be able to resist smallpox?"

Doctor Li was shocked when he heard this:
"Your Majesty, I have never heard of such a risky thing. Your Majesty, think twice and never take risks."

"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work. If my grandson has an accident, can you do it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, and Doctor Li was in a daze?
Your Majesty, where did your grandson come from?
"No, just give me a try, according to what I said, find someone to give me a try!"

"Don't just tell me that you can't do it here, you immediately arrange someone to test it, and give me an answer later!"

Zhu Yuanzhang got angry, Li Taiyi knew that the emperor was serious, he kowtowed like pounding garlic:

"I'm going to find the death row prisoner for an experiment right away!"

Patients suffering from smallpox can be found all the time in the land of Ming Dynasty, and even sick livestock are not difficult to find.

Zhu Yuanzhang found a guard and asked him to take Li Taiyi to find someone to do the experiment.

Anyway, now that the Ming Dynasty is open, there are many death row prisoners in the prison.

Doctor Li did not dare to be negligent, and hurried back to the Imperial Medical Bureau to find colleagues to arrange this matter.

After the emperor waited for those people to leave, he was still aggrieved.

"Father, it seems that you have already believed what Zhang's younger brother said..."

Zhu Biao asked, but Lao Zhu didn't answer directly, but handed Zhu Biao a secret performance.

This secret note is the last conversation between Zhang Normal and Zhang Yi before he left the capital.

Zhu Biao browsed through the conversations, but found something strange. When Zhang Yi complained about the emperor's stinginess, he said that there are three Liu Bowens for 24 yi silver?

Where did this sentence come from?
"What does this mean? Does it refer to Master Liu's salary? If it is a salary, Master's current salary is not worth 24 镒 silver. Could it be that it refers to after being a marquis, but if Master Liu is a marquis, it will definitely be more than..."

In the middle of Zhu Biao's speech, he remembered the list of princes and marquises written by Zhang Yi that day. Although Zhang Yi hadn't finished writing it, he had written all the lists of marquises.

But there is no Liu Bowen's name on it.

"Father, you...?"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in amazement, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded silently:
"I don't intend to grant Liu Ji a Duke, or even a Marquis..."

"Why, father?"

Zhu Biao was puzzled, how could Liu Ji be regarded as one of the heroes who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world, and made great contributions. ,

Moreover, in today's imperial court, although Liu Bowen did not enter the Ministry of Education as Prime Minister, under the special guidance of his father, he vaguely checked and balanced the noble group headed by Li Shanchang.

In that case,

If it is said that Liu Ji is not successful as a duke, that's all. Doesn't the Marquis give one?
Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly:

"I haven't decided yet whether I should give Liu Bowen the title. If so, the most earl, and the annual income should not exceed [-] shi!"

Three hundred stones of grain?
Zhu Bian didn't respond at first, but after Lao Zhu reminded him, he remembered.

Nowadays, the price of grain in Ming Dynasty is about one tael and two stones of grain. That is to say, Liu Bowen's salary does not exceed 150 taels of silver a year.

Is this what Zhang Yi said?
"I didn't even think about the problem, he thought of it for me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little depressed. When he was confused, he hoped that someone would clear up the fog of the future for him, but when someone really told him that I can see your every move in the future, Lao Zhu was also very uncomfortable.

Zhang Yi is just a child, but there is a fairy standing behind this child.

Those lofty gods used their own methods to put an inexplicable pressure on the emperor.

"You don't need to go to the Taoist temple for the time being, just let him dry first,
Wait for the two prescriptions contributed by that kid to come out, and we'll try his fineness again!"

Immediately, he asked someone to take the imperial decree he had drawn up a long time ago, changed it a little, and sent it to the Ministry of Education.

……

Zhongshu Province, the power center of Ming Dynasty.

At this time, a group of court officials were circulating the emperor's will.

"As soon as the emperor started the dynasty, he first arrested religion. The emperor is wise. These people who pretend to be gods and play ghosts all day long should have been cleaned up long ago!"

The meaning of the imperial decree made most of the officials present applaud.

Confucian scholars don't look down on monks and Taoists!

"Those monks and Taoists committed crimes in the previous dynasty and harmed the people. Our southerners are especially bullied. Now that the Holy Majesty makes this decision, it is really a blessing for the world and the people!"

"Holy Majesty is wise!"

Amidst all the applause, an old man sitting at the top gave a half-smile.

"Master Li, you have a different opinion!"

Everyone focused their attention on the old man. He was dressed in a crimson official uniform and was thin but energetic.

This person is the No. 1 officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, the left minister Li Shanchang.

Li Shan smiled:

"My lords, you only saw the emperor's suppression of monks and Taoism, but you never saw that the family in Qufu was also watched by the emperor?"

"Your Majesty is really just suppressing monks?"

"and……"

"Our Majesty, don't you also give Longhushan a sweet date?"

Li Shanchang pointed to the back of the imperial decree, and Zhang Yi's name said.

"It's Zhang Normal who is willing to leave the child in Beijing as a hostage. The old man said that he is much more cruel than that Duke Yan Sheng of the Kong family!"
