People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 462: Poor parents in the world, the leader of the new Jinyi Guards

Zhang Zhengcheng's face turned pale again when he heard this.

When Deng Zhongxiu wrote to him, it was still seven or eight days ago.

When Lao Zhang received the letter, he rushed down the mountain without stopping.

He knew nothing about the current situation in the capital.

Seeing what Deng Zhongxiu said was so serious, Lao Zhang himself didn't look good.

"Go, go back and talk!"

Lao Zhang called Deng Zhongxiu into the car and headed all the way towards Qingxin Temple.

Deng Zhongxiu briefly told the matter to his master, and Zhang Changsheng became more and more uncomfortable the more he listened.

"Because junior brother took that woman to the auction, it gave someone an opportunity to take advantage of her!

Nowadays, everyone is asking for the investigation of junior brother. I am afraid that junior brother will not be able to escape responsibility for this matter!
The most critical question now is, did the junior brother collude with those people, or was he being used by others?
Now, no one can tell! "

Zhang had a normal face:
"You still don't know who your junior brother is?

How could he collude with the Mongols? "

Deng Zhongxiu replied with a grimace:
"Master, I know it too, but the officials in the court are all preaching that my junior brother is colluding with spies, and even implicating us in Longhu Mountain!
Now there are rumors in Yingtian Mansion that the Mongols gave us the wealth and honor of Longhu Mountain, but the emperor deprived Longhu Mountain of the title of Heavenly Master!
Therefore, Longhu Mountain was unwilling to give in and wanted to welcome the Mongolian army back to the Central Plains! "

When Lao Zhang heard these words, his face turned green with anger.

These words are absolutely heartbreaking.

If one thing is not handled well, people all over Longhu Mountain may fall to the ground.

The position of Heavenly Master is an irreparable gap between Longhu Mountain and the emperor.

Someone who is willing to take it out can weave a seemingly reasonable excuse. Once an emperor listens to it, he can wipe out all the people in Longhu Mountain.

"The person who spread this rumor deserves to be punished, his heart is to be punished!"

Zhang Changsheng was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, unable to care about Zhang Yi's problems for a moment.

The impact of this incident was too great, and it was already a scene of family destruction and death.

"So, Master, I have recently restricted all my disciples to never show their faces in front of others!
Even as a disciple, he stays behind closed doors!
If I had not waited for Master today, my disciple would not have come out!
The disciple doesn’t even dare to go to a crowded place outside the city gate and wait for the master..."

Deng Zhongxiu is the host of Chaotian Palace and is on duty at Xuanjiao Academy.

Now that Xuanjiao Academy has been transformed into Daolu Division, although his authority is smaller, he still has some connections.

Even people like him say they dare not go out. From this, we can see how serious the situation in Longhu Mountain is now?
Lao Zhang took a deep breath, looked around and saw no one around, and asked:

"Have you ever tried to enter the palace?"

Deng Zhongxiu nodded silently.

Both of them knew about the relationship between the emperor and Zhang Yi.

Under normal circumstances, the emperor would never do anything to Zhang Yi.

But this time Zhu Yuanzhang personally ordered the arrest of Zhang Yi. Lao Zhang himself couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts. Was he really angry?

Or is there something else?

"Your Majesty didn't see me. I knelt outside the palace for two hours, but it was no use!"

Deng Zhongxiu frowned and told Zhang Changchong what happened.

Zhang Changsheng's expression became even more bitter. The emperor's unwillingness to see Deng Zhongxiu was also a very obvious signal.

Could it be that Zhang Yi really did something treacherous?
Zhang Changsha shook his head, he didn't believe it.

Even if Zhang Yi lost his mind again, he would not do such a thing, but why didn't the emperor believe him?
Lao Zhang remembered how three years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang was alone with him and refused the title of Heavenly Master.

In the past three years, the court has never summoned him again...

Could it be that His Majesty is blaming him?

"Tomorrow, I will go to see the emperor in person!"

"Master, this matter is no longer a matter of Junior Brother Zhang alone. To be serious, our orthodoxy is hanging by a thread at this time.

If you have a trustworthy friend in the capital, you might as well ask around! "

A trustworthy friend?

Zhang Changfang looked confused.

Because they followed Zhang Yi's advice, the people on Longhu Mountain did not deliberately make friends with officials.

Most of the people Deng Zhongxiu knew were from the Ministry of Rites system.

And Lao Zhang is probably not as good as Deng Zhongxiu in the capital.

"I see!"

The group returned to the Taoist temple. Zhang Changzheng was tired from traveling and traveling, and it was getting late, so he had no time to enter the palace to ask for an audience.

The second day, the third watch.

Lao Zhang got up early.

He packed up his clothes and asked Deng Zhongxiu to drive towards the palace himself.

At midnight, many officials from the capital also began to get up, and some officials were also walking on the way to the palace like Lao Zhang.

When they got out of the car, the officials who were already there all looked at Zhang Changfang.

Lao Zhang's face suddenly turned green and white.

He also had interactions with these officials on different days.

However, Longhushan adheres to the principle of not taking the initiative to interact with officials, in order to reassure the majesty in the palace.

However, they reassured His Majesty, but were a little unfamiliar with these officials.

When something happens in Longhu Mountain, naturally no one in the court will help them.

Most of these people stared at him with a mocking look. Zhang Changshang waved his hands to them, but these people turned a blind eye or avoided seeing him.

This was not the first time that Lao Zhang experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships. He wisely stood at the edge, waiting for the start of the court to hand his memorial to the emperor and ask for an audience with him!
After a while, more and more officials gathered here.

Without exception, they all found Zhang Changchang standing in the corner.

"Isn't this Mr. Zhang? Why did he come to the capital?"

"Why don't you come? My son got into trouble. He doesn't go to Beijing to plead for mercy, so he can get someone else by the way?"

"When trying to catch someone, don't involve yourself in it. Whether the sewage on his body can be washed away is another question!"

"Sewage, I see Zhang Chenggong, he is clearly the mastermind behind the scenes!"

"It's not surprising. After all, the wealth of the Zhang family belongs to the previous emperor..."

As for other officials, they only silently encouraged Lao Zhang.

There was a group of people, but no one was watching, and they started talking loudly.

Zhang Changsheng raised his head and glanced at the officials. Most of them seemed to be censors.

The people surrounded in the middle vaguely revealed a lot of hostility.

"Master Tu..."

Zhang Chenggong remembered the other party's name, but made no other comment.

This is not the first time that he has suffered cynicism from officials, he has long been accustomed to it.

"Hu Xiang is here..."

Accompanied by a sedan chair, it slowly came forward.These officials immediately abandoned Zhang Changsheng and gathered around him.

Hu Xiang?

Hu Weiyong?
Zhang Changshang is not Zhang Yi. He has paid more or less attention to changes in the political situation in recent years.

That Mr. Hu is obviously the current right minister Hu Weiyong.

Hu Weiyong got off the sedan, and people immediately surrounded him.

The good guy even pointed Hu Weiyong in the direction of Zhang Chenggong's location.

Lao Zhang and this Hu looked at each other. The other person couldn't tell his expression, but the viciousness in his eyes made Lao Zhang shudder.

However, Hu Weiyong did not stay long on him.

At this time, the palace door has opened!
The officials filed in under the command of the eunuch.

When all the officials were almost inside, Lao Zhang went over and stopped the eunuch.

"Wait!"

Hearing that he asked to see the emperor, the eunuch left without saying a word.

Zhang Changzheng was waiting by the side as time passed.

After the morning court ended, the officials from the next court came out of the palace one after another and went to their offices.

Seeing Master Zhang and his disciples still waiting outside the palace, the officials sneered.These sounds were particularly harsh in Zhang Wenfang's ears.

He recalled the scene of waiting outside the palace with the Kong family, and felt much more balanced.

After all the officials who should leave had left, the palace door slowly closed.

The emperor's attitude is self-evident.

Zhang Zhongguang instantly looked much older.

……

"Father, have you really seen Master Zhang?"

The palace, the imperial study.

After Zhu Biao saw the eunuch's report, Lao Zhu waved him away.

There was a look of intolerance on his face and he asked:
"Zhenzhen Zhang is the father of Zhang's younger brother after all. If my father doesn't see him, he will probably be worried to death..."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and said:

"If we meet him, should we tell him the truth?

Zhang Zhongcheng is not a man with too much power. He can practice Taoism, but cannot play tricks!
If I tell him, he won't even pretend, so how can he deceive those old foxes in the court? "

Lao Zhu's rhetorical question made Zhu Biao silent.

The biggest thing for the Ming Dynasty now is to weave the net and draw the Mongols out.

The Ming Dynasty's strategy towards Mongolia has actually remained unchanged.

Zhu Yuanzhang also gave Xu Da some advice during the second Northern Expedition in the fifth year of Hongwu.

If you want to defeat the Mongols in Mobei, the four most critical words are to lure the snake out of its hole!

It is far more cost-effective to send the main Mongolian army southward than the Ming army's northern expedition.

If you can't do it, just try to do it slowly.

It was just that Xu Da was dazzled by the victory and went deep alone, so Lingbei was defeated.

But this time, Ming Dynasty will also use the same trick to fish Wang Baobao out of Mobei.

However, it is very difficult to do this.

Wang Baobao is a well-deserved famous general.

Zhang Yi gave him a very appropriate nickname, Wang Paopao...

This general's sense of danger and ability to get out of trouble are almost unparalleled in the world.

If you want to seduce a famous general into the web you have woven, you cannot be too careful.

Zhang Yi was thrown into prison and Mao Xiang was dismissed.

These are the emperor's efforts to perform this scene well, and he also needs to promote other things in an orderly manner...

How could it be allowed that there was a problem with Zhang Chenggong?
"Three years ago, this old guy shamed me and made him suffer and worry...

Later, you can cooperate with me in a play..."

Zhu Biao smiled, his father was still very vindictive. Three years ago, he finally decided to return the title of Heavenly Master to Longhu Mountain, but Lao Zhang lost his face.

This incident still greatly affected Lao Zhu's self-esteem.

He didn't dare to expose Zhu Yuanzhang's little thoughts, so he bowed his head and said yes.

"It's just pity for the parents in the world. Master Zhang is going to suffer for a while..."

Zhu Biao thought to himself.

“The Kong family needs to be well settled too!
When Zhang Yi appears again, his task will be very heavy..."

"Yes, Father!"

"By the way, Father, Lao Er and Mao Xiang have all been dismissed from their posts in name. The candidate for the Commander of the Imperial Guard..."

Zhu Biao raised a very realistic question.

Hearing this, Lao Zhu also fell into thinking.

"First of all, rule out Ling..."

Ling said that this person was an old man who had followed Lao Zhu since the school inspection period, and Lao Zhu also recognized his ability.

In the assassination three years ago, Lao Zhu found a reason to kill Gao Jianxian, but Ling Shuo was left behind by Lao Zhu, proving his trust in Ling Shuo.

It's just that in the past three years, Zhu Yuanzhang has smelled something wrong with Jin Yiwei, just as Zhang Yi reminded him back then.

Any power institution will deteriorate when power is not controlled.

Zhu Yuanzhang had gradually felt the deterioration from power, and he told Ling that he was also on guard.

On the contrary, Mao Xiang, who had been handling intelligence, was better in this regard.

Outsiders are speculating that Ling said it was because of the problems three years ago that he was gradually ignored by the emperor.

But others could not see what Zhu Yuanzhang was really thinking at all.

Of course, Lao Zhu still trusted what Ling said, otherwise, he would have died long ago!

"Ling said that since he was not in this game from the beginning, he should not be allowed to take the position, so he is excluded at this time...

But now, who should be in charge of Jinyiwei? "

"Since outsiders can't be trusted, does my father still want to use..."

Zhu Biao said half of what he said, but the meaning was already obvious.

Starting from Zhu Cang, Zhu Yuanzhang seems to be starting a routine, which is to throw all his younger brothers to Jinyiwei to be gilded!
The so-called gold plating is actually self-pollution!
Let their position be opposed to that of the civil and military officials.

Now that Zhu Xi has gone down, who should be next, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di?
This year, Zhu Fan is 16 years old and Zhu Di is 14 years old!

You are now considered an adult!

It's not impossible to take a temporary job in Jinyiwei.

"Come here, call King Jin and King Yan to me..."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and asked people to invite the two princes.

……

a few days.

Zhang Yi's days in prison became a very regular routine again.

After the new alchemy furnace arrived, he started making some interesting things.

Zhang Yi didn't dare to make items that were too secretive.

He simply started doing some small crafts.

"Zhenren's methods are really ingenious. Zhuge Wuhou's wooden cow and flowing horse are nothing more than that, right?"

In the imperial prison, those prisoners were imprisoned, as well as the Jinyi guards.

Zhou Tong and others were in jail and standing guard at the same time. At the same time, they were restricted by their colleagues and could not go out.

At first everyone had something to do, interrogate the rats.

It’s just that as time went by, the technology of waterboarding emerged.

The workload of everyone has actually come down.

Without a job, I can’t go out.

Zhou Tong and others began to stroll...

No, this guy comes to see Zhang Yi every three days.

"What, is there any news from outside?"

The main reason why Zhang Yi hasn't driven away this guy who interrupts his experimental progress from time to time is that he can find out the news from the outside.

Although in order to prevent the news from leaking out, the Jin Yiwei who participated in Guanyin Nu's escape plan were all controlled by Lao Zhu.

But after all, they are not prisoners, and they can still get news from the outside world.

"I see you are very happy today. Is there anything good you can do?"

"That's natural, Master. You also know that I am promoted by Master Mao Xiang. Recently, we have all been hidden by His Majesty the Emperor. I am afraid that Master Ling will come to power and steal the limelight from my family!

Especially after His Highness King Qin cannot take charge of the Jin Yiwei...

That was even more worrying. Fortunately, His Majesty finally announced the name of the new Jin Yiwei spokesperson, wasn't it Ling Shuo? "

"Which prince is that?"

Zhang Yi asked with interest.
