People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 81 I'm Thick-skinned, I'm Not Embarrassed

Zhang Yi's exaggerated expression made the emperor want to beat him up.

The others are also holding back and not daring to laugh. This guy seems to be unable to eat if he is not black for a day.

And when Emperor Jing Tiao spoke, Zhang Yuchu looked at Zhang Normal with some sympathy, and he understood why his father often moaned and sighed on Longhu Mountain.

It's hard not to be depressed with such a brother in the capital!

Zhu Yuanzhang's stingy image was completely fixed by Zhang Yi, and Lao Zhu was powerless to resist.

"I'm not surprised that the Zhang family can get a reward, but with the emperor's temperament, he is unlikely to give the Zhang family too much power. As a king, it is taboo to change the order from day to day. No matter how great the Zhang family's contribution is, the reward can only be within a certain range...

The reward given to my father by the emperor was obviously partly out of anger and intended to provoke the Kong family. I thought so at first, but then I thought about it, he is Zhu Yuanzhang!

No matter how angry he is, he can't mess up his sense of propriety because of this. The things the emperor gave to the Zhang family naturally have important responsibilities to the Zhang family. I couldn't figure it out before. After listening to my father talking about the debate between Liu Ji and Li Shanchang, I knew...

It turns out that it is more difficult than I imagined to really promote the method of vaccination..."

Zhang Yi's words were sincere. Although he was a time traveler, he didn't know everything.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the common people didn't trust the imperial court. I never thought about it, but Liu Bowen reminded me that it was normal for Zhang Yi to think about it.

In his eyes, the Ming Dynasty was a dynasty that continued the inheritance of the Han family and lasted for more than 200 years.

But in the minds of the people today, whether the Ming Dynasty can survive the next year is still unknown...

No wonder Kong Kejian and the others had no confidence. The Red Scarf Army’s Northern Expedition frightened Emperor Yuanshun almost to move the capital. Didn’t it disappear in the end?

In the past 80 years, there have been many rebels, and how many people can succeed?

The Yuan Dynasty was the orthodoxy in the hearts of the people,
This is what should be done. Only when Daming wins Dadu in the second half of this year will this matter be reversed.

But even if Daming is recognized by the people, it will probably take several years for Zhu Yuanzhang to make up for the harm caused by the government at the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the people and the people's distrust of the government.

Isn't it very difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang to implement any policy now?
Therefore, the weight of Longhu Mountain is more important than he imagined.

The imperial court does not currently have the support of the people. It has been operating for hundreds of years, especially the Zhang family, which has spread its power all over the south in recent decades and has a large number of people's beliefs.

This is the reason why the emperor wants to use the Zhang family, and it is also the reason why the emperor wants to guard against the Zhang family.

There must be rewards for meritorious service. Since the emperor wants to use the Zhang family, he has to reward the Zhang family, but he doesn't want to see a Zhang family with too much privilege, so...

He would use the Zhang family to stimulate the Kong family, and then use the Kong family's status in the hearts of scholars to deliberately stir up some people's opinions on the Zhang family.

Someone in the court hall has intentions for Longhushan, which means that Zhu Yuanzhang is holding on to a handle that can turn his face in the future at any time...

Zhang Yi told Zhang Normal what he had analyzed, and the latter was dumbfounded.
With lingering fears in his heart, Zhang Normal took a sneak peek at Emperor Hongwu, who would accompany the emperor like a tiger. How could he have thought that there were so many deep meanings hidden in the emperor's actions?

Zhu Yuanzhang was also very embarrassed. Zhang Yi, the little bastard, told the calculation in his heart, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't stand it.

Lao Zhu found that it was too difficult not to get angry as long as he saw Zhang Yi.

But the emperor is still the emperor, no matter how embarrassing he is, he will be fine, as long as he doesn't pretend to be embarrassing, the embarrassing one is someone else.

He also asked earnestly:

"Then why do you say that it is a good thing for the emperor to scheme against the Zhang family?"

Zhang Yi said:
"Our majesty knows in his heart that he wants to push smallpox's merits and reputation. The Zhang family is a very useful chess piece. The people are ignorant and believe in ghosts and gods. The Tianshi Mansion has been operating in China for hundreds of years. You and the people They don't understand the explanation of bacteria and viruses, so it's better to use the fairy tales, it's simple and clear!
The emperor's efforts to promote this matter have his advantages, but the disadvantages are also obvious. It is true that using Longhushan and promoting vaccination methods to win people's hearts and push up his prestige, but Longhushan will also benefit!
Why did the emperor beat my father back then?Isn't it because of fear of Longhushan's prestige?
If things turned to the end and the emperor got benefits, but did not restrict Longhushan, he would not be Zhu...Emperor!

And the emperor used the Confucius family to stir up the hostility of the officials towards Longhushan. To a certain extent, it was precisely he who expressed goodwill.

There is no way, our emperor’s temperament is like this, if he admires Longhushan to the extreme, but there is no limit to his grace, I will not be able to sleep!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what to say, and this kid explained his thoughts clearly.

He didn't know whether he should be afraid, and then kill this kid, or should he feel a confidant.

Zhang Yi's performance reminded him of Liu Ji, the old guy was probably the only one in the court who could see through his mind completely, but this time Liu Ji couldn't see through his arrangement, but Zhang Yi made it clear.

The emperor had mixed feelings, not a taste.

"Actually, I said, our emperor is really powerful!"

Zhang Yi didn't realize that there was a knife hanging around his neck, and everyone was sweating for him.

He changed the subject, but praised Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang: ...

This kid blackmailed himself when they met, and praised him after the blackmail.

Maybe it was because he had been hacked a lot, every time Zhang Yi praised him, he felt that this kid was sincere.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

Others didn't dare to answer, so Lao Zhu had no choice but to cheer Zhang Yi up.

He also wanted to know what Zhang Yi wanted to praise him for?
"Liu Ji and Li Shanchang are unborn geniuses, especially from my father's report, boy, I have great admiration for that Uncle Liu... Yushi Zhongcheng, but their way of thinking is still too righteous after all, and they rarely jump out of the Confucian perspective. Thinking about the problem, on the contrary, His Majesty can use Longhu Mountain, which is why His Majesty is stronger than them,
Not sticking to any rules and regulations, able to use any available resources, the height of the emperor, not the two of them can compare...

And choosing Yangzhou is also a good place, Yangzhou is one of the world's freight transit hubs, and His Majesty probably hopes that after the matter of the pox vaccination is handled in Yangzhou, the news can be spread throughout the world through the particularity of this place..."

Old Zhu was delighted that Zhang Yi could still see this layer.

It's like a person has carefully designed something and always hopes that others can understand it.

Zhu Yuanzhang did have this kind of thought in choosing Yangzhou City.

"You're not bad, kid. What would you do if it was you?"

Lao Zhu also raised the idea of ​​examining Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi laughed:
"If you let me come, I will do it harder than Your Majesty!"
