Zhang Changsheng is probably the most uncomfortable character in the scene.
As the head of the Zhang family, the emperor and the prince asked his son how to deal with the Zhang family?
But Zhang Yi, this little bastard, lowered his head and thought carefully, trying to formulate a reply.
"Ancestors, ancestors, ancestors, why do you do this to me?"
Lao Zhang was roaring in his heart, but he didn't dare to show any emotion at all. He hoped that Zhang Yi could feel his emotions, but Zhang Yi didn't look at him at all.
"Brother Huang, I am... Grandmaster said so!
The emperor asked the Zhang family to take charge of Taoist affairs in the world. In fact, it didn't mean anything. The Zhang family did well in the previous dynasty. If he is too cruel to the Zhang family now, it will not look good on his face!
After all, the Zhang family is not at fault. With the current state of His Majesty's city, he has just become emperor and has not yet adapted to his role. When he looks back, he will naturally come up with better ways to weaken the Zhang family!"
Zhang Yi's words were not groundless. In the fifth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang did give the Zhang family a lot of power. This power was called "forever controlling Taoist affairs in the world." The Zhang family once again became the leader of Taoism in the world. However, because of Lao Zhu's series of operations, the Zhang family was not happy either.
Because at that time, there was nothing left of Taoism in the world.
"What's a better way?"
Not to mention Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang was also successfully aroused by Zhang Yi's words. Zhang Yi said:
"Letting the Zhang family take charge of Taoist affairs in the world can win over people's hearts. Let everyone see that the emperor still cherishes his old feelings and treats the Zhang family very well!
But while giving benefits to the Zhang family, we can smash the cake of Taoism in the world. Wouldn't this be able to control Taoism in the world? For example... on the pretext that the monks and monks are mixed with men and women and eat and drink freely, we should first manage the monks and monks in each state..."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his expression changed slightly.
It's not that Zhang Yi's idea was good, but he was surprised to find that what the kid said was exactly what he was thinking. Lao Zhu was planning to do this, and he had already thought of an excuse. That was Zhang Yi's idea. An excuse to say.
"Is it a coincidence, or is Zhang Daoling, the old god of the Zhang family, really entrusting this child with a dream? Even Biao'er doesn't know what I'm thinking, but he knows it all?"
Although Zhu Yuanzhang is not a person who does not believe in ghosts and gods, he does not think much of ghosts and gods in his heart.
But what Zhang Yi said really touched his heart. He had just ascended the throne as emperor, and he was actually a little confused about how to become a good emperor.
It is the instinct of an emperor to centralize power and eliminate all uncompromising factors. Zhu Yuanzhang had a plan in mind to weaken Buddhism, Taoism and other sects, part of which happened to be what Zhang Yi said.
Even if the Emperor's heart is as strong as iron, he can't help but feel a little uncomfortable when he hears Zhang Yi say what is in his heart.
Could it be that the founder of Longhu Mountain used this method to beat himself up?
Or is this child possessed of great wisdom?
"You keep talking..."
With Lao Zhu's encouragement, Zhang Yi continued:
"The so-called management can, firstly, gather these monks and monks and prevent them from wandering around. Secondly, it can limit the number of monks and monks in various states. To put it simply, it means restricting the issuance of ultimatums! The issuance of ultimatums is the biggest source of power of the Zhang family. This If one of them is broken, the Zhang family will be in ruins!
The emperor can completely transfer the power of issuing ultimatums to the court, and give examinations to monks and Taoists, and only if they pass the examination will they be given ultimatums!
Those unqualified Taoist priests can't even live in seclusion in the mountains and forests...
The emperor would also set up a Daolu Department to take charge of the Taoist priests in the world. In this way, although the Zhang family was in charge of the Taoist priests in name, in fact... it was just a mascot! "
"good!"
After hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but give Zhang Yi a high-five.
This kid is a good boy, and his ideas are great. Although Lao Zhu wanted to control the monks and Taoism, he actually hadn't thought too far. The idea Zhang Yi gave Zhu Yuanzhang was actually his idea in the original historical trajectory. The process of tightening the power of monks and Taoists step by step, but if Zhang Yi had not reminded him of the most long-term policy, Lao Zhu would probably not have thought of it until decades later.
It is equivalent to saying that Zhang Yi helped the emperor point out the sword that he had used to chop Buddhism and Taoism over several decades.
How could Lao Zhu not be so surprised?
How could the emperor not like such a considerate and good boy?
But he was happy, but Zhang Changshang wanted to strangle Zhang Yi to death. Zhang Yi was no longer an evil star in his eyes, but was no different from a devil.
After this guy's remarks, he peeled off three layers of the Zhang family's skin. Isn't he this cheating?
Comrade Lao Zhang wanted to roll his eyes and pass out, but the emperor was still here, so he could only face this cruel world with strength.
At this time, Lao Zhu and Zhang Yi stared at each other, and the emperor suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Facing Zhang Yi's confused expression, Zhu Yuanzhang remained calm:
"What a heavenly master from Longhu Mountain who can actually know what the emperor is thinking. It's a pity that Brother Zhang didn't listen to you, otherwise it wouldn't have happened..."
"Uncle Huang, this is what our family members are talking about, please don't tell anyone!"
Zhang Yi also felt that this handsome Uncle Huang was very eye-catching, and even gave him some serious instructions.
Others suppressed laughter but did not dare to laugh.
The person you least want him to know is right in front of you.
After receiving Zhang Yi's advice, the emperor felt refreshed. He looked back at Zhang Chenggang and assured:
"What happened today will never be spread to outsiders! But I am very curious. Since your ancestors of the Zhang family knew about this, why didn't they go directly to your father?"
This is the biggest flaw in Zhang Yibian's story, because if Zhang Daoling really asked for a dream, why didn't he go to Zhang Changsheng.
Zhang Chenggang actually had this doubt in his heart, and Zhang Yi had already prepared for it.
"A person who is addicted to fame and wealth is not a Taoist! Nature is isolated from heaven... and the king is the emperor. This disaster is the general trend, so maybe our ancestors think it is useless to tell dad, right?"
A simple sentence made Zhang Changshang feel ashamed and uneasy.
The phrase "obsessed with fame and fortune" refers to himself. If his son said it, Lao Zhang would probably slap him to death.
But what Zhang Yi said was "Zhang Daoling". Is the ancestor also dissatisfied with what he has done over the years?
Zhang Chenggong was confused. In fact, before the Mongols entered the Central Plains, the old Zhang family either received the emperor's favor or was ignored by the emperor. The lessons the Zhang family learned from the third-generation heavenly master Zhang Lu were generally low-key.
But in the Yuan Dynasty, the Zhang family was officially recognized as a Heavenly Master for the first time, and began to reach the pinnacle of power that Zhang Ludu might not have had.
Fame and profit, charming eyes.
Perhaps starting from Zhang Zongyan's Celestial Master, they gradually forgot to protect their true nature.
"Ashamed!"
Zhang Changfang lowered his head and reflected deeply.
When he looked at Zhang Yi again, he felt that he, the evil star, didn't seem so annoying anymore.
"By the way, tell your Uncle Huang, why is the emperor so petty?"
Lao Zhang's impression of his son had just improved, but when he heard the emperor change the topic, he fainted again.
He wished he had fainted, lest he hear the emperor's proposition.
"This kid is not a evil star, he is the devil who destroyed my Zhang family!"
"How could I, Zhang Zhongping, give birth to this bastard?"
Lao Zhangsheng has no love.
