"Yes, Father!"
In fact, Zhu Biao was also very curious about the rebellious son of the Zhang family. He had been with Zhu Yuanzhang since he was a child, learning how to be a good emperor.
Zhu Biao sometimes learned to guess his father's thoughts, but many times he felt discouraged because he could not keep up with his father's rhythm.
When the school inspector handed the secret report about Longhu Mountain to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao rarely saw his father's serious expression and praised the child for his talent.
Whether he was a god or was born smart, at least the emperor would remember such a person.
"Father, do you think that child was really entrusted with a dream by Zhang Daoling? You treat the Zhang family like this..."
Zhu Biao's young mind couldn't help but ask the emperor a topic that he shouldn't ask. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said:
"What are you afraid of? Zhou Dian was also a god back then. Didn't I also throw him into the river to feed the fish?"
"Son, the king is the emperor. We can respect ghosts and gods, but we can't fear them like tigers! What about the gods, your father and I are still the emperor? Even if the Zhang family has supernatural powers, they don't have to come from Longhu Mountain to ask for help from me. A title?"
"Biao'er, remember, don't indulge in the so-called foreign ways and forget the duty of a king!"
"My son, I will be taught a lesson!"
"Okay, come with me and change some clothes!"
The emperor took the prince to a room in the side hall.
…
In the side hall, Zhang Changsheng woke up leisurely, his heart was filled with despair.
The emperor was nowhere to be found, and only an old eunuch was waiting on him in the side hall.
He didn't know what the emperor wanted to do, and he didn't dare to guess, but at this time, his heart was thinking about his youngest son.
"My son has precocious wisdom!"
When Zhang Yi was born, he showed a different command from ordinary children. When he was born, he didn't cry for the first time until Zhang Chengwen came in and took the child.
The child looked at him for a moment, and seemed to want to cry, so he cried a few times symbolically.
He felt something strange at the time, and when he looked at the sky again, he saw dark clouds.
Zhang Changshang made predictions for the child, but found that his destiny was very bad, especially against his own.
Believing in the skills passed down from his ancestors, Zhang Yi left a shadow in Zhang Pangcheng's heart. In the days to come, he would have very little contact with Zhang Yi, and even if he did, he would not have a good look.
Therefore, with Zhang Yi's intelligence, he naturally felt his father's isolation from him.
This was the source of the bad relationship between father and son, but now, the child actually predicted what would happen to the emperor when he saw him. This incident made Zhang Normally feel confused.
Could it be that I was wrong, that this child was not actually a evil star, but a descendant that all the ancestors were optimistic about?
Zhang Pangcheng felt regretful. Master Ming used Zhang Yi's words to warn him to be careful about the risks to the Zhang family, but he turned a blind eye.
If it weren't for an old eunuch sitting beside him, Zhang Changsheng would have wanted to slap himself in the face.
"Eunuch, where has the emperor gone?"
Zhang Chenggong waited for a long time, but never saw the emperor coming, so he couldn't help but ask.
The old eunuch lowered his head and said:
"The Emperor has gone to change his clothes, Master, please wait a moment?"
"Changing clothes?"
Zhang Changsheng had some ominous premonitions. Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang walking towards the side hall with a young man.
When Lao Zhang saw Lao Zhu, his body trembled. The emperor was actually wearing common people's clothes. What was he going to do?
"Zhang Aiqing, what do you think of my clothes?"
"No matter what your Majesty wears, you can't hide your nobility!"
Zhang Zheng met Lao Zhu and asked him, and quickly flattered him. The emperor said meaningfully:
"That's true. Then why don't I change my clothes? Otherwise, it won't be pretty if your kids recognize me soon!"
When Lao Zhang heard this, his face turned red, and the color quickly disappeared.
If he hadn't just drank a bowl of sugar water, he would have passed out again now.
Is the emperor going to see his rebellious son, or is he going to visit privately incognito? And according to the emperor's wishes, he can't hint at the identity of Emperor Zhang Yi?
What kind of temperament does Zhang Yi have? Zhang Changsheng is very familiar with it. This little guy has many amazing words at home. How can he handle it when he meets outsiders?
If he said something wrong, the Zhang family would be wiped out.
Now Lao Zhang can only pray to his ancestors, praying that Zhang Yi will never do anything wrong.
"Zhang Aiqing, let's go!"
The emperor gave an order, and the guards who had already disguised themselves took them and Zhang Changsheng out of the palace, and they drove all the way to the Taoist temple where the Zhang family stayed.
Not long after everyone got out of the car and before they entered the Taoist temple, Zhang Changshang heard Deng Zhongxiu's angry voice.
"Master, Master told you not to wander around, why did you run out? If you want to go out to play, you can wait until Master comes back from the palace?"
"After my father comes back, he probably won't be in the mood to play..."
The conversation between Deng Zhongxiu and Zhang Yi made Zhang Changsheng want to die.
Seeing that the emperor and the prince both turned back and looked at him meaningfully, Zhang Zhongping's face turned red. He became angry and shouted:
"Zhang Yi!"
Both Deng Zhongxiu and Zhang Yi heard Zhang Zhongcheng's voice, and Deng Zhongxiu shouted in surprise: "Master is back!"
He left Zhang Yi and faced Zhang Chenggong. Zhang Yi and Deng Zhongxiu had opposite reactions. He turned around and ran towards the inner courtyard.
"Come back here!"
Zhang Changsheng was afraid that the little guy would disappear, and he also hoped that he would disappear.
In this tangled mood, he watched Zhang Yi run back honestly and stop in front of everyone.
The emperor took a look and saw that the child in front of him was very handsome. However, his eyes kept moving, and it was obvious that he was by no means a peaceful person.
Seeing Zhang Yi's cuteness, he couldn't help laughing:
"Lao Zhang, this is your second child. He looks nothing like you. I'm afraid he looks more like a girl!"
"Sister?" It took Zhang Zhongxin a long time to realize that she was talking about his first wife.
The emperor became familiar with him, and Zhang Changsheng was stunned. Soon he understood what the emperor meant, which was to ask him to cooperate with the emperor in acting.
Under the emperor's glaring gaze, Zhang Changsheng forced out a smile:
"Huang...Brother Huang said that!"
"Master, who is this master...?"
Deng Zhongxiu, Zhang Chenggong's disciple, looked at the group of people in confusion, but still paid his respects to the emperor.
The emperor had a good impression of the child and nodded. He found that Zhang Yi was also looking at him curiously and said calmly:
"My name is Huang He, and this is my son Huang Mu. I have been friends with your father, Brother Lao Zhang, for many years. We met by chance in the capital today, and I came back to catch up with Brother Lao Zhang!"
Zhu Yuanzhang referred to Zhang as "brother" and talked about Zhang Changshang until he was about to cry. He just stabbed me twice, and now he talks about brothers?
After beating Zhang Chenggang to death, he no longer dared to call himself brother to the emperor.
He had already witnessed Zhu Yuanzhang's ruthlessness in the palace, and Zhang Changsheng was still frightened when he recalled the emperor's mental skills.
"It turns out to be Mr. Huang!"
Deng Zhongxiu saluted again, and then asked impatiently:
"Master, when you came out of the palace, the emperor must have given you a lot of rewards, right?"
The corner of Zhang Changsheng's mouth twitched, and he wished he could sew Deng Zhongxiu's mouth shut. How do you want him to answer this question?
Lao Zhang forced a smile and said loudly:
"Your Majesty is so kind to us at Longhu Mountain!"
Deng Zhongxiu was overjoyed when he heard this, but Zhang Yi couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.
