When the disciples dispersed, the father and son were left.
The father and son were relatively speechless and began to concentrate on digging out three bedrooms and one living room.
"I'll go first. I'll let them clean up the Taoist temple first and buy some necessary things. I know that although you don't like Taoist things, you are a Taoist priest after all. You should learn the things left by your ancestors!
Especially when you stay in the name of praying for the emperor, you always have to show off..."
"I will ask someone to buy you some alchemy furnaces, Taoist books... and... forget it, lest you find me nagging!"
"Wait until I come back from the palace first!"
Zhang Changsheng finally broke the silence. Just when he was about to make a long speech, he remembered that when he was at Longhu Mountain, Zhang Yi didn't like listening to his preaching. He sighed, interrupted himself, turned and left.
From beginning to end, Zhang Yi never said a word.
The brothers from Longhu Mountain went to clean up the Qingxin Temple for Zhang Yi, and Zhang Changshang also came to the palace alone.
He originally wanted to ask someone to report it, but found that a eunuch had been standing at the gate of the palace for a long time.
"Zhenzhen Zhang is here, His Majesty is already waiting for you in the East Pavilion!"
Knowing that the emperor had someone by his side, Zhang Changsheng was not surprised by the emperor's methods.
It was still the familiar study room. When Zhang Chenggang arrived, the king was still reviewing memorials. Prince Zhu Biao sat next to the emperor. The emperor whispered to him from time to time and taught him earnestly.
The picture of a loving father and a filial son in front of him made Zhang Zhongsheng feel a little dazed.
"Zhang Aiqing is here!"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and greeted Zhang Normally naturally.
"Meet the Emperor, meet His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zhang Chenggong knelt down and saluted respectfully.
"Aiqing Pingsheng, what do you want to do here this time?"
"I want to come and say goodbye to His Majesty!"
"Why are you leaving so soon? It's so hard to come to the capital and stay for a few more days?"
The monarch and his ministers were chatting about everyday things.
Lao Zhang wanted to reply that Longhu Mountain was busy with affairs, but when he thought that his so-called affairs would probably be fucked by the emperor, he did not dare to say anything.
When he usually comes to the capital, he would inspect his property, but now he even dares not.
So Zhang Chenggang could only say:
"After being taught by my ancestor, I have gained some insights and should go back to retreat!"
"If that's the case, then I won't keep Zhang Aiqing!"
After the emperor finished speaking, Zhang Chengcheng said quickly:
"I don't want to worry about Your Majesty. By the way, Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report!"
"explain!"
"It's like this. Back then, the Mongols gave many Taoist temples to Longhu Mountain, many of which were near Yingtian. Now, we at Longhu Mountain have limited energy and want to dedicate these Taoist temples and surrounding fields to the imperial court. At the beginning of the imperial court, Established, everything is in ruins waiting to be revitalized. Along the way, I see the suffering of the people!"
"Pindao thinks of His Majesty's favor to me at Longhu Mountain and has nothing to repay, so Pindao wants to contribute the property near the capital to the imperial court and make a contribution to the people of the world!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he had a playful expression on his face. This picture is very good.
After years of development, Longhu Mountain is based in Jiangxi, but it actually has industries in several surrounding provinces.
Needless to say, for Yingtian Mansion, if Lao Zhang contributes these industries, he will really lose a big piece of meat. Not to mention the Taoist temples, all the land near the Taoist temples has been donated, and the people of the old Zhang family are still very Taoist.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "It's rare that Zhang Aiqing is so thoughtful, so I'll thank you on behalf of the people. By the way, your second son will stay in the capital to chant sutras and pray for me, right? I'll give him a reward later!"
"That traitor does not deserve the grace of God!"
The monarch and his ministers each said something that they didn't mean. Zhang Zheng often said the same thing and stood up to leave.
"Come here, I will give you twelve yi of platinum for the real person Zhang, and I will also give you twelve yi of platinum from Longhu Mountain to decorate the golden body of the old immortal Zhang Daoling!"
Lao Zhang:......
He knew that the emperor was stingy, but when the emperor actually rewarded him with money, he realized that the emperor was so stingy.
The so-called platinum is just another word for silver.
One yi of silver is worth twenty-four taels. He gave Lao Zhu so much Taoist property, and he only gave himself 288 taels of silver?
If someone else put this money in front of Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang probably wouldn't even move his eyelids.
You know, the Zhang family used to sell a certificate, even if it was sold cheaper than the government, they could still get more than ten or twenty taels of silver. Who can value two or three hundred taels of silver?
But even if he doesn't like it, Lao Zhang still has to pretend to be grateful and thank the saint.
"I am so scared, thank you so much, Your Majesty!"
After receiving the emperor's five hundred taels of silver, Zhang Changsheng finally left the palace, and Lao Zhang was devastated.
As the traitor said, come with good fortune and return with bad fortune.
"Father, what are you writing?"
After Zhang left normally, Zhu Biao found that the emperor frowned, wrote and scratched on the paper, melted and wrote again.
He walked over and took a look, only to find a list of some people written on the emperor's desk.
Li Shanchang, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Tang He, Feng Sheng, Liu Ji...
These people are all heroes who conquered the world with Emperor Father. Why did Emperor Father list them?
Zhu Biao thought about it and understood what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking.
"Father, do you want to give your uncles a reward?"
"Well, the battle report from the north has been sent back. Xu Da and Chang Yuchun were victorious. When the war in the north comes to an end, it will be time to make these old brothers princes. However, I am still undecided on how to arrange them. people……"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. In fact, for some people, he had already made a decision in his heart. Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and Li Shanchang were not a big problem. Lao Zhu also probably had an idea about salary and so on.
It's just that for some people, Lao Zhu still hesitates.
One of them is Tang He. As a key figure who initially guided Lao Zhu from being a monk to joining the army, Fa Xiao, who also had military exploits, Lao Zhu hesitated whether to give him the title of Duke?
In terms of military merit, he is not enough, but he has a very special impact on Lao Zhu's life...
However, Tang He is not the candidate that Lao Zhu is really struggling with. He sets his sights on another name, Liu Ji!
After thinking for a long time, Lao Zhu had the answer in his mind...
…
On the other side, Zhang Changsheng returned to the Taoist temple and saw Zhang Yi sitting in the room, writing seriously. He walked over and took a look, only to find that this kid had no idea what he was scribbling on the paper.
The font was like a ghost drawing, and Zhang Changsheng stopped looking at it.
The left and right are just children’s doodles!
He walked to the table alone, poured himself a glass of water, and was in a daze.
"Dad, did the emperor give you too little money?"
Zhang Yi could figure out the reason for Lao Zhang's depression with his buttocks. Zhang Yiwang was also used to the child's strangeness, so he nodded and said:
"Your Majesty gave me twelve yi of platinum and twelve yi of silver to decorate the statue of my ancestor!"
"I'll go, more than five hundred taels!"
Zhang Yi was shocked by the emperor's generosity. Is this still the same Zhu Yuanzhang?
"You also think... less?"
"No, the emperor is too generous. He actually gave you five hundred taels of silver, which is more than three Liu Bowen!"
Zhang Yi couldn't figure out why the emperor gave Longhushan so much money.
But what Lao Zhang heard was another sentence:
"What is Liu Bowen? Is this Mr. Liu Ji, the Censor Zhongcheng?"
"Forget it, don't ask, the secret must not be leaked!"
Zhang Yi realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly shut up.
