Leaving Longhu Mountain?
After Zhang Yi made his request, not only Zhang Chenggong, but also the emperor and his son were stunned.
Zhang Yi is a seven or eight-year-old child. What can he do after leaving Longhu Mountain?
Looking at the child in front of him, there was a trace of determination on his immature face. It was obvious that this child was not joking.
"Nonsense!"
Zhang Zhongcheng was as angry as usual, pointing at Zhang Yi and scolding him loudly.
However, Zhang Yi did not flinch this time, but looked at Zhang Chenggong coldly. There was a tense situation between father and son.
Lao Zhang looked at his stubborn son and suddenly felt sad. It turned out that Zhang Yi made a bet with him in Longhu Mountain just for today?
Thinking of Zhang Yi's request to leave Longhu Mountain, Zhang Changshang was devastated. He understood why Zhang Yi wanted to leave. It was nothing more than his neglect over the years.
No matter how precocious this child is, he is still a child after all.
He has deliberately alienated Zhang Yi over the years because of his fate. Although Zhang Yi has a good relationship with his elder brother and younger brother, he has a normal relationship with the people in the family. It can even be said that in the Zhang family, the servants treat brothers Zhang Yuchu and Zhang Yuqing the same way. Zhang Yi is obviously different.
Being isolated and treated differently, the root of all this comes from the indifference of him, the head of the Zhang family.
Everything has a reason.
It’s not that Zhang Chenggang doesn’t know what the problem is, but as a parent, how can he keep it down?
"I know that you have grievances in daily life, and the Tianshi Mansion will definitely compensate you in the future! If you have no major problems, you will definitely take over my position as Tianzhenren. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
This was the most submissive thing a feudal parent could say, but it was a pity that Zhang Yi didn't buy it.
"Dad, I'm willing to admit defeat!"
"you……"
The conversation between Zhang Yi and Zhang Changsheng's father and son temporarily plunged the atmosphere into an embarrassing situation.
The emperor and the prince looked at each other and understood the reason.
From the king of Wu to the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang always had an intelligence system around him, called the inspection system.
The emperor relied on this institution to monitor all officials, and at the same time, he would also allocate some forces to monitor those he thought needed attention.
The influence of Longhu Mountain made the emperor naturally not forget to monitor the Zhang family. In fact, the emperor also knew about every move that happened in the Zhang family.
The second eldest son of the Zhang family, Zhang Changsheng has been regarded as a evil star since he was a child, and he has been alienated and isolated. The relationship between him and Zhang Tianshi is actually not very good.
It's just that Lao Zhu didn't expect that this child had such a strong personality. He made a bet with his father in Longhu Mountain and actually wanted to leave Longhu Mountain?
The head of the Longhu Mountain family is not something that can be easily obtained. It is a noble position that has been passed down for hundreds of years and has the opportunity to become a thousand-year-old family. Even if it is beaten by the emperor, the influence of the Zhang family in Taoism is not It will have a lower impact on scholars than the Confucius family in Qufu.
"This kid is also a determined person!"
Because Zhang Daoling favored him and taught him the Dharma in his dream, the emperor at most thought that Zhang Yi was lucky and did not think too highly of him.
But a child of seven or eight years old used the resources at his disposal to plan to leave Longhu Mountain. At least this child behaved differently from other children.
The father and son of the Zhang family faced off, and Zhang Yi had a firmness in his eyes that didn't belong to a boy.
The emperor inexplicably sided with Zhang Yi. Zhu Yuanzhang may not be a good emperor, but he is definitely a good father.
He had read the secret note sent by the inspection school, and he could not understand why Zhang Changshang would far-fetchedly say that the child was a evil star based only on the vision of the child's birth.
As a father, Lao Zhu's mind is filled with thoughts of family and everything being prosperous. There is no such thing as a born evil star, only a father who doesn't know how to educate.
However, he also couldn't see his son disobeying his father, so he wanted to hear what Zhang Yi had to say?
"The location of the Heavenly Master is of no use to me. What's more, when my father brought up the matter of the brothers' feud, did he feel that he wanted to deprive the child of his last attachment to Longhu Mountain?"
Zhang Changsheng was blocked and couldn't say a word. He knew what Zhang Yi meant.
Unless Zhang Yuchu made a serious mistake, the position of Heavenly Master in Longhu Mountain should have belonged to him as the eldest son.
If he chooses to make him the heir because of the emperor's love for Zhang Yi, or because of his ancestor's favor for Zhang Yi, how will Zhang Yuchu, as the eldest brother, deal with himself?
The relationship between Zhang Chenggong and Zhang Yi is tense, but the relationship between brothers Zhang Yuchu and Zhang Yi is very good.
Therefore, between the position of Heavenly Master and brotherhood, Zhang Yi chose the latter without hesitation.
"good!"
Looking along the way, Zhu Yuanzhang found that he liked the second child of the Zhang family in front of him more and more. Zhang Yi gave up his position as Heavenly Master and chose self-exile for the sake of family ties. Lao Zhu looked at Zhang Yi with admiration.
As an emperor, he was familiar with history books and had seen a lot of history of princes fighting for the throne and intrigues. Lao Zhu was also worried that this would happen in Tian's family, so Zhang Yi's performance made him naturally fond of him.
Zhang Zhengzheng was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he had no way to refute.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang walked over and patted Lao Zhang on the shoulder. Zhang Zhongzheng was frightened.
"This child is the one your ancestors like, but it may not be limited to Longhu Mountain. Since your second son is just thinking about you, Lao Zhang..."
The emperor pretended to be familiar with it, but Zhang Changsheng did not dare to answer the emperor's words, so Zhu Yuanzhang continued:
"The position of Heavenly Master in your family is not as good as that of the Tian family, but it is similar. There must be rules for passing on the throne, otherwise this family will be in chaos!
A seven or eight-year-old child can understand the truth, but you can't understand it? "
"Huang...Brother Huang, you have taught me a lesson!"
How dare Zhang Changshang dare to refute the emperor? What's more, after being reminded by Lao Zhu, he felt that this was also true. Although his impression of Zhang Yi had changed, it could not compare with his love for Zhang Yuchu for many years.
The reason for choosing Zhang Yi was that he misunderstood the emperor's intention, and he did not want to replace Zhang Yuchu.
However, the matter of the Heavenly Master's succession can be put aside for the time being. Zhang Yi couldn't accept the fact that Zhang Yi wanted to leave Longhu Mountain openly.
However, when the emperor spoke again, Zhang Changshang didn't know whether he was happy or worried.
"Since you have lost, you are willing to admit defeat. But after all, you are a child. It is normal for you as a father to worry about leaving home at such a young age. How about that?"
"I also intend to move my business to the capital, otherwise leave this child to me!"
The emperor wants to adopt Zhang Yi?
Zhang Changsheng was shocked from ear to ear. How could this little evil star in his family have such a chance?
He was about to kneel down and worship, but Lao Zhu smiled and said:
"You misunderstood. What I meant was that you have property in the capital anyway, why not leave him to train in a Taoist temple? I will naturally take care of him when I come to the capital!"
If it weren't for Zhang Yi's background in Longhu Mountain, Zhu Yuanzhang would still be the King of Wu today, and the emperor would really like to accept Zhang Yi as his adopted son.
Anyway, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was common practice for everyone to accept adopted sons.
But being an emperor is different after all.
After Zhang Changsheng understood the emperor's thoughts, his thoughts became vivid.
