People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 354 Unparalleled National Scholar, Actively Helping Himself

Zhu Biao was startled when he heard the words, he stood up suddenly, his face was full of surprise and uncertainty.

How did Liu Ji know the identity of their father and son?

He stared at Liu Ji in a daze, and Liu Ji got his own answer just by seeing his reaction.

He solemnly knelt on the ground and said:

"Knowing His Highness's position, I naturally know what to do!
Although I have justice in my heart, I also know that if there is no one behind me.Even if I wanted to get involved in this matter, I would be powerless!

But after realizing that the master behind His Majesty was looking at that kid with a pure heart, I knew His Highness's position!
That minister will naturally go all out! "

Zhu Biao understood what Liu Ji said,

His attitude was very clear, although he wanted to help Zhang Yi.

But if he didn't support Liu Ji, it would be useless for him to let himself in.

The so-called persistence in the heart depends on whether it can be done or not. It is the most important thing.

There is an unspeakable undercurrent in this court hall, if he wades through this muddy water, he might be drawn into the bottomless abyss.

His colleagues, colleagues, at least in this matter, will definitely not stand by him.

That Zhu Biao must be the person behind him.

"Mr. Liu, how do you know the identities of Ben Gong and Emperor Father..."

Before giving Liu Ji an accurate answer, Zhu Biao needs to figure out this question.

"Your Majesty has recommended Zhang Yi more than once, and His Majesty refuses to meet him, which is very strange in itself!

Your Majesty loves to meet talented people, even ordinary people, His Majesty will receive them from time to time!

But a supernatural power that can propose various national policies such as mathematics admission to the imperial examination, His Majesty just doesn't see it!

Chen had doubts hidden in his heart until he accidentally learned that Zhang Yi had a close uncle named Huang He...

If I can no longer guess the identity of His Majesty, I will follow His Majesty for so many years in vain! "

Liu Bowen's answer is reasonable!
But it also shows that he is extremely intelligent.

The name Huang He was just chosen by Zhu Yuanzhang at that time.

The monk of Huangjue Temple...

This is the self-mockery of the emperor alone.

Zhu Biao laughed at himself. If his father had known at the time, he would have kept Zhang Yi by his side, and maintained a long-term relationship without a showdown.

Probably when he chose a name, he would think more about it.

Now that Liu Ji saw through it, he went straight to the showdown.

Zhu Biao has nothing to admit, he nodded and said:
"That's right, the younger brother of the Zhang family is the expert behind the father, not only the admission into the imperial examination, the bridge between the north and the south, the north-south list, almost all the national policies that the father implements that you can think of, have the shadow of the younger brother of the Zhang family behind them!

It's just that he doesn't know the identity of his father, and for some reason, his father doesn't want him to know either!

Including Uncle Chang, he was able to escape the death knot because of the reminder from the Zhang family brother! "

Liu Ji's pupils suddenly dilated.

Although he wanted to control his emotions, he still couldn't suppress the shock in his heart.

After he knew the identities of the Huang family's father and son, he knew that Zhang Yi might have given the emperor a lot of ideas behind his back.

But what Zhu Biao said still shocked him.

"Including monks and Taoists paying taxes?"

"Ok!"

"Even Master Song brought up the matter of paying taxes for monks and Taoists, and it was... the younger brother of the Zhang family who guided him..."

Liu Ji: ...

Made, that's too wicked!
That old man Song Lian didn't even know he was played by an eight-year-old child.

Zhu Biao picked up some things about Zhang Yi and told Liu Bowen.

The more Liu Bowen listened, the more frightened he became.

After talking for less than half an hour, Zhu Biao simply finished some things:
"Sir, what do you think he is worth?"

"Unparalleled Guo Shi!"

Liu Bowen does not agree with all of Zhang Yi's actions, and even in many things, he may be on the opposite side of Zhang Yi.

But this does not prevent him from giving Zhang Yi a fair evaluation.

Even if he is like him, it is a blessing that one person can contribute a national policy that changes the world in one lifetime.

Zhang Yi was only concerned with the promotion of simplified Chinese characters, and these strategies of the North and South List are enough to leave a mark in the history books.

Such a person should not die unjustly in the dungeon.

Liu Bowen has fully understood what he should do.

"Your Highness wants to save Zhang Yi, so he must find a suitable reason to intervene!
The best way is to let Jin Yiwei take action!
But Jin Yiwei is an ominous weapon, and His Highness is not the real king yet,
Using Jin Yiwei is not good for His Highness's reputation! "

Liu Ji's view of Jin Yiwei is the same as that of Li Shanchang and Empress Ma.

But there are some differences.

What Liu Ji meant was not not being able to move, but how to move?
The officials' resistance to Jin Yiwei was no less than that of Zhang Yi, who they wanted to kill now.

Without a reason for Zhu Biao to intervene, rash action will only cause dissatisfaction among the officials, but if there is a reason for him to intervene...

Of course it's fine!

However, how to find this reason is debatable.

"If it is really necessary, why should I care about this reputation!

Ben Gong might as well tell your husband, Ben Gong clearly knows that it is impossible for Mrs. Li to commit adultery with Li Qingmo!

Li Qingmo was the person arranged by his father to protect Zhang Yi by his side, anyone could have committed adultery with Mrs. Li, but he could not..."

After confessing to Liu Bowen, Liu Ji also understood the nature of this matter.

"Someone took advantage of His Majesty's departure from the capital and wanted to involve Zhang Yi in the case of Mrs. Li...

Even if Zhang Yi cannot be killed, at least he must be taught a lesson, or the prestige of Longhushan must be hit!
And Zhang Yi was exposed because of his mathematics admission to the imperial examination, and he happened to be rejected by the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty...

They took advantage of this situation to create a general trend in their favor!
If this matter can be treated as a small case and handle Zhang Yi quietly, that would be the best!
If the matter is accidentally made a big deal, it will be heard by Shang Datian, and His Highness does not have enough authority to resolve the matter.

Li Shanchang is really amazing! "

After some analysis, Liu Bowen did not forget to attack his opponent.

It doesn't matter whether Li Shanchang did it or not, anyway, you can hack it by the way.

Zhu Biao didn't answer Liu Ji's words. It's really hard to say who will do it when Zhang Yi is the enemy of everyone in the world.

There's no point in fussing about it!

"His Highness has confessed, the old man will go to the Yingtian Mansion Yamen in person!

However, if it's just the old man passing by, I'm afraid Yingtian Mansion's door won't even be able to enter...

Please give me some convenience, Your Highness! "

The news that Zhu Biao wanted to intervene in this case but was persuaded by the officials will soon spread, and Ying Tianfu will definitely harden up when he gets the news.

Although Liu Bowen has the right to supervise all officials, he is not directly under the Yingtian government office.

Without Zhu Biao's support, people might really turn him away.

"Can……"

Zhu Biao wrote a manuscript and handed it to Liu Ji.

Liu Ji took this item out of the palace and went straight to Yingtian Mansion.

In Yingtianfu Yamen, the news about this case from the palace has been sent back through certain channels.

Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could not easily intervene in this case, which gave the prefect great satisfaction.

The Yushitai, which was supposed to be a copy of his book, was actually silent.

Only then did he understand how different the attitudes of the adults in the imperial court towards Zhang Yi and Longhushan were.

"Now, you should understand my lord's persistence, right?"

"My lord is wise, but a little ignorant!"

"This case should be settled as soon as possible, after all, there are many nights and dreams..."

Before he finished speaking, a yamen servant knocked on the door, saying that Liu Bowen was visiting.

"It's Liu Ji!"

When Yingtian Zhifu heard Liu Ji's name, his heart trembled.

Although Liu Bowen is only a third-rank official, he is also the leader of the Eastern Zhejiang School among the civil servants of the imperial court.

The magistrate doesn't belong to Huaixi, nor does he belong to Zhedong, but he can't afford to offend people on both sides.

"My lord, Liu Ji is probably here for the case too!"

With a reminder from the staff, the face of the magistrate turned dark immediately.

Now, his wealth and life have been staked on this case, and there is absolutely no room for loss.

"Liu Ji is nosy, I heard that he proposed to monitor the case today, and no one from Yushitai agrees with him, and everyone will betray their relatives, and they still insist on it!
Let's go, let's meet this Censor Zhongcheng! "

Liu Ji waited for a while in the Yamen of Yingtian Mansion, and finally waited for the magistrate.

"It turned out to be Master Liu, I am far away!"

Liu Ji returned the gift and exchanged pleasantries.

He made it clear.

Yingtian Zhifu heard the words, stroked his beard, with a smile that was not a smile:

"Although Yushitai has the duty of supervising officials, it doesn't have the specific authority to handle cases. I don't know what is Master Liu's plan to visit the suspect?
Do adults think there is something wrong with the officer, or do they think the suspect has been wronged?

It's not that I don't cooperate with Mr. Liu, but if it's really a case, we must be fair!
I heard that my lord has an old relationship with the Taoist priests of the Pure Heart Temple, I'm afraid it's..."

Liu Ji was silent.

If it was the past, and I came here, I was afraid that the magistrate in front of me would not know how to welcome me, but now he puts on airs for himself.

Even sarcasm.

He was right, and now he can't do anything.

"If Lord Liu is fine, please go back..."

After the magistrate finished speaking, Liu Ji took out a handbook just as he was about to see off the guests.

The other party took a look, and his face changed drastically.

Your Royal Highness!

"Can I go in now?"

Liu Ji said lightly, the magistrate couldn't help but snorted coldly:
"Take Master Liu to the prison!"

Liu Ji bowed to thank him, and then, led by the yamen servants, he went to the prison.

The magistrate waited for him to leave, his face turned dark.

"My lord, Liu Jitie is determined to intervene, and the East Palace still supports him!
we……"

The magistrate no longer had the complacency and composure he had just now, and when he heard the words of his staff, he became distraught:
"That's why the officer said that time is running out, hurry up and try the case, and let me do the case to death, so I can explain it!"

"But my lord, if you want to kill this case, you have to make the couple plead guilty, but they just don't plead guilty..."

"Hit, give me a hard hit..."

……

Liu Ji didn't know that his appearance made the magistrate mess up.

He walked into the cell, and a unique smell of the cell came to his nostrils.

The Yingtian government office usually seldom handles small cases, and there are not many criminals in the cells.

Overall, it's clean.

But as Liu Ji walked in, the first thing he smelled was blood, and then he saw Lao Mo lying on the ground.

This is a man!
Even though Lao Mo was beaten to a bloody blur, after a brief eye contact with Liu Bowen, he remained firm.

He passed Lao Mo and saw Zhang Yi and Li Shi in the cell.

Liu Ji asked someone to open the door of the cell, and the yamen servant retreated voluntarily.

"It seems that you are in prison, and your life is not bad!"

He looked Zhang Yi up and down, and found that this kid was cleanly dressed, except for being a little thin, he seemed to have no effect?
"The Medicine King Appears!"

Zhang Yi wasn't in a good mood, but he was still able to joke around.

The belief of the Medicine King Taishang, and the popular support gained by Longhushan's actions these days, did allow him to escape some dark methods in the prison.

But he changed the subject and said:

"The better I live here, the worse the environment outside is!
If the magistrate was in a hurry, he wouldn't let me go so easily! "

Liu Ji's eyes lit up, and after confirming the master behind Emperor Zhang Yishi, he had a different understanding of this kid.

Zhang Yi ruled out his foreknowledge, which is unique to Taoists, and the child himself is also a peerless genius.

At the age of eight or nine, he seemed to see through the world, at least when he was eight years old, he would never be able to do this.

"Your current situation is indeed not very good, but the good news is that the news that you sent someone to the palace has also reached..."

Liu Ji picked out something he could talk about, and probably told Zhang Yi about the situation outside.

Zhang Yi frowned. After the exposure of his leadership in the admission of mathematics into the imperial examination, it was indeed a situation of universal enemies.

"Your Majesty is not here, His Highness supervises the country, even if the Second Highness asks the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince's idea of ​​meddling is rejected by all the officials!
This matter is very difficult! "

Zhang Yi's face gradually became serious, and he himself did not expect that the matter would turn into such a serious situation.

His idea is to make things big.

Regarding the judgment of this case, Zhang Yi was actually right.

The opponent set up a situation from the perspective of the Meng family, starting with Li, and then involving him.

The main purpose is not to attract attention.

As long as this matter can be fermented, half of the deadlock will be broken.

His thinking was correct, but he underestimated the determination of those officials to hope that others would be fine.

The censor doesn't care, the officials block it!
Everyone just publicly supported Yingtian Zhifu and killed him!

The world is the enemy!

Zhang Yi smiled wryly, now others are fine, but they have implicated Li Shi and Lao Mo. Although Lao Mo is in good health, if the fight continues, he may really die.

"Master Liu, can you do me a favor!"

"I used to have some allicin in my body, so I secretly used two bottles for Lao Mo, but in his case, the dosage needed to take it orally was too large, and it was almost useless!

Can you help me go to the Taoist temple, bring all my stocks, and save Lao Meng's life first! "

After he finished speaking, he pointed out to Liu Ji where he hid the medicine, and Liu Ji agreed to him.

Zhang Yi smiled gratifiedly. Although the situation outside was very bad, he was very fortunate that all the good karma he made had played a role.

"That is to say, Zhu Yu persuaded the prince, but it is not convenient for the prince to interfere?

Then find a way to give the prince an excuse to interfere, Mr. Liu, please visit the neighbors in Lao Meng’s village, and use the method of unannounced visits...

Wherever you walk, there must be traces. There are too many people, and secrets cannot be hidden...

The villagers near the old Meng’s house, as well as the relatives of the Meng family, will definitely say something, this is a breakthrough..."

Knowing that he was in a difficult situation, Zhang Yi began to actively help himself.
