People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 92 The Emperor's Lonely Hell

The carriage stopped in front of a mansion.

Kong Na got out of the car with Zhu Biao, he looked up, but saw the word "Confucian Mansion" written on the plaque at the door.

He was in a trance, Prince Zhu Biao didn't take him to the palace, but he came to the Confucius Mansion in the capital first?

"The former Yan Shenggong rested in the mansion, and the palace sent an imperial doctor to see him every day. I know that Mr. Kong is a filial person, so I brought you here first!"

Kong Na was terrified: "Caomin should have gone to the palace to face the saint, and then come back to see grandpa!"

"Filial piety comes first, and it will be the same when you enter the palace tomorrow!"

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "I won't accompany you in the palace, Mr. Kong, see you in the palace tomorrow!"

When Kong Na heard the words, he quickly thanked him.

Watching Zhu Biao's carriage go away, Kong Na is still a little distracted, the prince went out of the city to meet him, just to send him to Confucius' mansion?
The deep meaning of this is far beyond a ten-year-old child's ability to guess.

But he couldn't help but develop a slight liking for the prince of the Zhu family.

"This crown prince has the style of a wise king, but the Zhu family doesn't know if he will be able to sit still in the end. Father and grandfather are still thinking that Wang Baobao and Li Siqi can go south, but is it really possible?"

Kong Na remembered his father's explanation to him before he left, and the humiliation when he mentioned Ying Tian.

The emperor of the Zhu family was the incarnation of a demon king in Kong Na's heart, which made people fear.

"Master, let's go in!"

The old servant reminded Kong Na, Kong Na nodded:
"Thank you, Uncle Fu!"

The master and the servant turned around and entered the Confucian mansion.

The people in the Confucian mansion had already received Zhu Biao's instructions, and came over to salute respectfully:

"I've seen Mr. Kong!"

A man who looked like a butler came over and welcomed the master and servant inside.

Kong Na looked around, the mansion that Emperor Hongwu rewarded the Kong family was very careful.

Whether it is a servant or a maid, the emperor is equipped according to the highest standard.

But these things are also the source of pain for the Kong family.

"Where's my grandpa?"

Kong Na couldn't wait to see Kong Kejian, and his servant replied:

"My master is basking in the sun in the garden!"

"Basking in the sun, this time?"

Kong Na looked up at the sky, he entered Yingtian Mansion very early, the sky was just getting dark, where did the sun come from?
However, he didn't ask any more questions, and let his servants lead the way to the back garden.

Not long after, he saw a figure he was familiar with.

"grandfather!"

The moment Kong Na saw Kong Kejian, his tears could no longer be stopped.

I haven't seen him for a month. Kong Kejian has lost at least a circle of weight. Although he is well-dressed, he is breathing slowly and foolishly.

He stared blankly at the lotus pond in the garden, but some saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth, and the maid beside him hurriedly took out a towel and wiped it off for him.

In Kong Kejian's situation, everyone thought he was crazy.

Kong Na crawled all the way, fell down and knelt in front of Kong Kejian, crying loudly.

"Grandpa, Uncle Yan is not filial, Uncle Yan has come to see you..."

Kong Kejian's body trembled undetectably, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

He muttered to himself:
"Who is Uncle Yan? Why don't you laugh, Uncle Yan? You should laugh more, how good you are, hahaha..."

Kong Kejian laughed wildly, with tears in his smile, as if he was crazy.

"Master!"

"Master!"

Seeing that Kong Kejian was about to fall into madness again, the others seemed to have already experienced it, so they rushed over to support him.

Kong Na hugged Kong Kejian tightly and shouted:
"Grandpa, I am Uncle Yan, I am Uncle Yan..."

He whispered into Kong Kejian's ear, "Grandpa won't let daddy tell, but daddy has told Uncle Yan..."

"Walls have ears!"

Kong Kejian's voice, also insignificant, came to Kong Na's ears.

Only when he witnessed the current situation of his grandfather with his own eyes, did Kong Na understand the current situation of the Kong family.

Kong Kejian, who is pretending to be crazy and foolish, every concern of the emperor in the deep palace is a cage he weaves for Kong Kejian with invisible silk threads.

When Kong Kejian decided to pretend to be crazy, he was locked in a special prison.

The people around are the eyes and ears of the emperor.

In order to protect the Kong family and himself, Kong Kejian could only continue to play crazy and act stupid.

No one talked to him, and he didn't dare to reveal his heart to anyone.

This kind of environment reminded Kong Na that among the eighteen hells of Buddhism, there is a kind of hell called loneliness.

This Confucian mansion is the lonely hell built by Emperor Ming for Kong Kejian.

"Uncle Yan, you must laugh! Hahaha!"

Kong Kejian firmly grasped Kong Na's shoulder and shook his grandson frantically, but after saying this, some kind of insistence seemed to be relaxed, and he fell into a coma and fell to the ground.

"grandfather!"

The Confucius Mansion fell into a panic in an instant.

"Emperor physician, go to the Imperial Medical Bureau to invite the imperial physician!"

The servants of the Confucian mansion ran and shouted loudly.

Kong Na knelt in front of Kong Kejian with a dazed expression, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

The first meeting with his grandfather made him understand how difficult it is for the Kong family to face the emperor.

……

All of this has nothing to do with Zhang Yi's view of pure heart.

On days when no one disturbed him, he still practiced Tai Chi every day, and then went to the alchemy room to tinker with his stuff.

Recently, with money, Zhang Yi decided to find someone to complete the last step of his toilet, to install a water tower. When he wanted Deng Zhongxiu to find a craftsman, Deng Zhongxiu notified that Huang Mu had come.

"Brother Huang! I haven't seen you for some days!"

As one of the few friends in this world, Zhang Yi is still very happy with Zhu Biao's arrival.

"Where have you gone to do business recently? Has the business gone well?"

"Trust me, it went well. We made the pencil recipe you gave me!"

Zhu Biao took out a bundle of pencils from his cuff.

Zhang Yi took it over and took a look, it was really good.

When it comes to compressing the refill and sticking the outer wood veneer, the pencils made under Daming's craftsmanship are naturally incomparable with those of later generations, but even if they are close, the ones made by Zhu Biao's craftsmen are much better than those made by Zhang Yi himself.

He was very fortunate to sell this recipe to the master of the Huang family, as this thing could not be mass-produced in his hands.

"I used it for a while, and found that it is very easy to use, but it also has its own shortcomings! But it is indeed more convenient than a brush in some special places!

Dad has already found some sales outlets, and when he pays back his capital in the future, he will give you dividends! "

"Thank you, Brother Huang!"

Zhang Yi grinned: "Then I'll give you another design drawing of a pencil sharpener. It's not difficult to make, and it's easier than sharpening with a knife!"

Zhang Yi took out a knife, cut out the refill for the pencil that Zhu Biao brought, and then drew on the paper casually.

After verifying that the pencil was of good quality, Zhang Yi took it away very rudely.

Zhu Biao saw that Zhang Yi only sketched out the outline of a person with only a few strokes. He remembered the painting he drew for Zhang Normal that day, and was very curious:

"Your sketching is enough to start a school. It is really a good skill to learn skills from the future! By the way, can you learn your drawing skills?"

"Brother wants to learn?"

If Zhu Biao wants to learn, Zhang Yi is naturally willing to teach, anyway, this is not a great skill.

Zhu Biao nodded, then shook his head:

"I'm really interested, but I'm afraid I don't have the time...

It’s just that your drawing method is very useful. I’m thinking that if the people in the government learned from my younger brother’s skills, at least the wanted criminals on the arrest warrant would not be unrecognizable! "

What he said was interesting, but Zhang Yi agreed.

Although Chinese painting also has more realistic meticulous paintings, the path of Chinese painting is indeed not the path of "painting likeness".

The level of painters of wanted criminals in the government is also average, so many wanted documents have been issued by the government. Unless those wanted criminals look very distinctive, it is difficult to recognize people based on their portraits.

"If the eldest brother wants to learn, that's fine. Let me teach others, but I'm too lazy to teach!"

The two chatted with each other.Zhu Biao seems to be preoccupied.

But he didn't think about how to speak, so he asked Zhang Yi for advice.

Just when the two were chatting just right, Zhu Biao's guards suddenly ran in and said something in Zhu Biao's ear.

"Miss Chang is here!"

Zhu Biao was terrified when he heard the words, why did the sister of the Chang family come at this time?

If she ran into him, wouldn't his identity be exposed?
"Junior Brother, Miss Chang is here..."

When Zhu Biao was a little flustered, Deng Zhongxiu also ran in to report.

Zhang Yi jumped up, his face changed greatly:

"Why did Sister Chang come here? It's broken, it's broken..."

Zhu Biao:? ? ?
Why Zhang Yi acted more panicked than himself.

"Our Taoist temple doesn't have a back door, brother, find a place to hide!"

Zhang Yi took Zhu Biao and left, looking around for a hiding place.

Damn, we can't let Chang find Zhu Biao, who knows what kind of frivolous words this dog-licking dog can say when he meets a girl?
NetEase disturbed the future princess, neither the Huang family nor Zhang Yi could bear to walk around.

Zhu Biao: ...

This brother of the Zhang family is so caring!

"You stay in the toilet, and I will lead the Chang family's sister into the house later, so you leave immediately!

Don't try to talk to your sweetheart, you don't deserve it! "

In order to prevent Zhu Biao from going crazy, Zhang Yi warned Zhu Biao in words, and then stuffed him into the toilet he had just built.

As soon as the door was closed, the girl from the Chang family walked in with her maidservant.

At this time, Zhu Biao's servants had disappeared.

Only Zhang Yi and Deng Zhongxiu were staring at each other in the yard.

"Brother Zhang, this is my sister's new dessert, do you want to try it?"

Zhang Yi immediately showed an innocent smile that only belongs to children, and ran over cheerfully.

"Do you have any new snacks, thank you sister!"

He ran over, grabbed Chang's girl's food box, and opened it.

Sure enough, there were many more kinds of snacks inside, Zhang Yi picked up one and ate it, showing an exaggerated expression:

"too delicious!
Lu Xun once said: If you want to grasp a man's heart, first grasp the man's stomach,
In the future, when my sister gets married to the prince, the prince will die unhappy? "

Zhang Yi spoke loudly on purpose to provoke a stinky licking dog hiding in the toilet.

It's not that he's cruel, it's just that he doesn't want someone to get stuck in the mud and remind him in this way.

"Which sage is Lu Xun?

If you want to grab a man's heart, you have to grab his stomach first? "

The Chang family girl was blushed by Zhang Yi's exaggerated words, but she thought about Zhang Yi's words carefully.

What Mr. Lu Xun said makes sense.
