People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 97 Zhang Yi's Most Unwanted Reward
When Zhang Normal met the emperor, he was still in the dust.

He really went straight to the palace to see the emperor as soon as he entered the city.

"Your Majesty, I'm lucky that I didn't disgrace my life! I dispatched disciples from Longhu Mountain to make vaccines day and night, and vaccinated three thousand people in Yangzhou Prefecture, and none of them got smallpox! According to His Majesty's arrangement, I have not spread the vaccination method widely for the time being, waiting for His Majesty's arrangement! "

From Zhang Yi's plan to send [-] sailors to Yangzhou, Lao Zhu made fine adjustments to the promotion of the vaccination method.

The Yangzhou government and his party set an example for the world.

Now, fueled by the navy, the curiosity of the people all over the world about the vaccination method has reached its peak.

For example, in the city of Nanjing, there is no naval army deployed by Lao Zhu, but the people of Nanjing still spontaneously recite the "Sutra of the Great Law of the Microcosmic World" spontaneously, and they can know the power of rumors.

When the public opinion is guided to a certain level, the rumors themselves will develop at a speed that the creators could not even imagine.

"When the people are eager and praying for the vaccination law, the court announced that this is a hundred times stronger than the previous court's practice of requiring the people to be vaccinated!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked thoughtfully at Zhang Normal.

At this time, he also understood why Zhang Yi had to write a scripture. For the illiterate people, the theory of immortals was the best fuel for rumors.

But the saying of immortals and gods is still a double-edged sword!

"Certainly, I can announce it to the world later, and spread the vaccination method to the world!
Zhang Aiqing, get up! "

With Zhu Yuanzhang's permission, Zhang Normal raised his head and looked at the emperor.

His eyes drifted past Zhu Biao, but he trembled slightly.

Zhu Biao's two panda eyes are so dazzling that Lao Zhang can't pay attention to them.

His Royal Highness was actually beaten, who did it?

It's best not to inquire about the affairs of the Tian family, Lao Zhang hurriedly looked back, pretending not to see.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed secretly when he saw his little actions. Now is not the time to settle accounts with Zhang Normal, he said:

"Zhang Aiqing's meritorious deeds are immeasurable, benefiting the country and the people, I should reward it!"

"I dare not ask for credit, everything is due to His Majesty's merit!"

"You will be rewarded for meritorious service, you don't have to refuse, but I will announce this later, you step aside first,
Come on, let Kong Na, son of the Confucius family, come in! "

Zhang Normal retreated to the side, watching the eunuch introduce a young man from the outside. This young man was dressed plainly, completely different from the Kong Kejian and Kong Xixue he had seen before.

When he came in, he knelt down in front of the emperor and greeted the emperor and the prince.

"Kong Na, you have met Grandpa Ni, is he okay?"

The emperor and Kong Na gossiped about their daily life, and when Kong Na heard that he mentioned his grandfather, his pupils shrank indiscernibly.

"Grandpa is still like that. I want to ask His Majesty to allow me to take Grandpa out for a walk every day. Maybe it will help the illness!"

"It's rare for you to be filial, sure!"

After the scene was finished, Zhu Yuanzhang asked:

"How is your reading? I will test you..."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Kong Na a few questions casually, and Kong Na answered fluently.

"That's right, if you put it in the previous court, you may be able to enter the court as an official!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's words scared Kong Na so much that he dared not speak.

Needless to say, the treatment of the Kong family in the previous court, in the court alone, nearly a hundred Kong family members entered the court as officials.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were many examples of officials of the former dynasty becoming officials of the new dynasty. However, the emperor ordered that the Kong family had to go back to Qufu to study.

"Students will never be able to understand the three principles and five constant principles left by their ancestors for a lifetime, so they dare not come out to mislead their children!"

Kong Na is only a ten-year-old child, and he already has the meaning of fear after being so frightened by the emperor.

Zhu Biao was on the side, knowing that it was time for him to play.

"Father, the younger brother of the Kong family came to the capital to fulfill his filial piety, but he must not leave his knowledge behind. After all, he is the future Duke Yansheng. It would be unsightly to delay his family education because of his filial piety. My son suggested that the younger brother of the Kong family take care of grandpa in the capital." At the same time, I also went to Guozixue to study...

Mr. Xu from Guozixue is also one of the teachers of this palace, his knowledge should be enough to teach the future Yan Shenggong! "

Guozixue is currently the highest institution of learning in the Ming Dynasty. It is the institution established by Guozifu after Lao Zhu laid down Jiqing Road, the predecessor of Yingtianfu. In the previous dynasty, there were Guozijian and Guozixue. , but in the Ming Dynasty, Guozixue currently governs the characteristics of the two major institutions.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, many things were not perfect, but there is no doubt that Guozixue is the highest institution of learning in the Ming Dynasty.

Many meritorious children also temporarily study in Guozixue,
Arranging Kong Na in Guozixue is not an insult to his identity.

When Kong Na heard this, he was very grateful to Zhu Biao.

"allow!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was going to be carried by his son in the sedan chair, so there was no reason why he should not be allowed.

He changed the subject and asked Zhang normal:

"Master Zhang, I have seen your eldest son before, he is the seed of reading, how about your second son who is praying for me in the capital?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned Zhang Yi carefully, Zhang Normal was stunned. Don't you know what kind of virtue Zhang Yi is?
As far as reading sage books is concerned, saying that he is ignorant is flattering him.

He couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking, so he said in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, this son of the minister's family is really ignorant and incompetent, so I can't mention it!"

"That can't be done. The boss of your Zhang family must have inherited the mantle. The second child is alone in the capital. This child looks very pitiful. If you don't know how to learn, you have to learn, otherwise you will be bluffing all day long. upbringing...

How about this, I think you have what you should have, and your second child has nowhere to go, so let him also go to Guozixue to study!

If he reads well in the future, he will always have a background! "

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.

You let a Taoist priest go to Guozixue to study?
Zhang Normal is a bit messy, and the emperor is not sure whether he is going to punish Zhang Yi or reward Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi has always wanted to quit Taoism, and Zhang Tongtong knew that he was not a Taoist priest, but he didn't want to be a scholar even more than he didn't want to be a Taoist priest.

No matter how many teachers he hired on Longhu Mountain, there is not a single teacher who is not pissed off by that guy.
This guy can read, but Lao Zhang himself doesn't believe it.

He believed that Zhu Yuanzhang also knew Zhang Yi's situation well?
"Why, if you have any difficulties, just tell me, I don't want him to become a Taoist priest."
Rather, I feel that since he stays in the capital, it is always bad for no one to teach him the principles of being a human being. If he studies well and later wants to gain fame, I can make an exception for him, but if he wants to become a Taoist priest, I will not Don't force it! "

The emperor talked about this, and Zhang Normal's heart gradually came alive.

It seems like it's not a bad thing.

The class of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars has always been the mainstream of society. Even if the old Zhang family is prosperous, it does not hinder the fact that their social status is not good.

If someone in the family can enter the court and be reused by the emperor, it may not be helpful to the Zhang family.

Especially the child Zhang Yi seems to get along well with Lao Zhu and His Highness the Crown Prince. Even if the Emperor won’t be able to take back the position of Heavenly Master in Longhushan in this generation, the old Zhang’s family will rely on the relationship between Zhang Yi and the Crown Prince in the generation of His Highness the Crown Prince. , may not have a chance?

Thinking of this, Zhang normal knelt down excitedly:
"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

Zhu Biao was on the side, seeing Lao Zhang excited, but he was struggling to hold back his laughter.

He was sure that this was the emperor's little revenge on Zhang Yi. He knew how afraid that guy was of studying. If Zhang Yi knew about the emperor's award, he might cry.

Zhang normal made a contribution, and the emperor would have been rewarded to some extent when he came back, but if he was replaced by a place in Guozixue, he knew that the emperor's anger was still there.

Kong Na, who was on the side, was excited about the opportunity to learn from Guozi, but he was disappointed when he heard that Taoists in Longhushan could study.

"Your Majesty, after you go, please allow your ministers to travel to the north, to the place where our ancestors of the Han family are buried, and to pray for the heroes of the Han family!"

Zhang Normal knew that the matter was almost done, so he hit the iron while the iron was hot and flattered Zhu Yuanzhang.

The matter of the Northland was also a political show that Emperor Hongwu needed the cooperation of Longhushan. Sure enough, after he said this, the old Zhu Longyan was very happy.

It's just that when Kong Na heard about the Northland, he always felt that the Taoist priest was satirizing the Confucius family, which was very harsh.

Lao Zhu also noticed Kong Na's expression, and waved Kong Na down first.

As for Zhang Normal, who stayed where he was, Zhu Yuanzhang said:

"Your request, I agree! Zhang Aiqing, by the way, Zhang Aiqing, these two boxes of quick-acting heart-rescuing pills are the prescriptions given to me by your kid. I have found someone to research them. Take them with you. If you are still there next year When traveling in the Northland, remember to go to Liuhechuan..."

After Zhu Biao listened to Lao Zhu's instructions, he realized something.

After talking about it, the emperor was still worried about Chang Yuchun in the north, so he made many plans.

Zhang Normal was very grateful to the emperor for being able to reuse him, and said that he would definitely handle this matter well.

This trip to the Northland is for him to re-walk the path of his ancestors as a real person of Longhushan. What do you expect most?
When Zhang Normal thought of this, he was full of motivation.

"In that case, let's go!"

"Father, I'm going to send the real person and the younger brother of the Kong family off!"

Zhu Biao took the emperor's mind, so he naturally had to do his own thing well. He and Zhang went out normally, and saw that Kong Na was still waiting there.

The prince went up to speak softly and encouraged Kong Na a few words, Kong Na suddenly showed a grateful expression.

"Wang Gonggong, send the two of you off!"

Zhu Biao remained calm, the two panda eyes on his face were too dazzling, but neither Kong Na nor Zhang normal dared to ask,
Wang Gonggong took the two of them out of the palace all the way, and Lao Zhang's disciples and Zhang Yuchu were also waiting at the gate of the palace.

"Go slowly, two!
Master Zhang, you have made great merit this time, and your method has saved many people! "

Wang Gonggong's attitude towards Kong Na is average, but he is not bad towards Zhang Normal.

Old Zhang heard that he wanted to give the prince some money without any trace, but the prince didn't want it.

"Eunuch, the eyes of His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Zhang Normal was really curious, so he quietly asked Wang Gonggong.

"We don't know, His Royal Highness came back from the palace yesterday, and it became like this..."

"what?"

Lao Zhang suddenly collapsed on the ground, his whole body lost his strength.

"Really Zhang..."

"Master..."

"Father... are you okay?"

Lao Zhang fell to the ground suddenly, frightening a group of people at the gate of the palace.

"I'm fine!"

Zhang normal squeezed out a smile, uglier than crying!
