The most important thing about being a king is to remain mysterious and not let others read your mind easily.
It is very dangerous for a king to be easily guessed by others.
Emperors are often very contradictory creatures. They hope that their ministers will be considerate, but they never want their ministers to see through his sincerity.
Zhang Yi pointed out Zhu Yuanzhang's inferiority for the first time. Zhu Yuanzhang himself could understand it, but in his heart, how did the child know about Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and the others' rewards?
Could it be...
The figure of an old immortal immediately appeared in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.
"Did you dream about your ancestors again?"
"Uncle Huang, what are you doing?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was nervous and grabbed Zhang Yi's hand tightly. Zhang Yi screamed in pain.
He was also surprised by Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction. As a businessman, do you care whether the Chang family is granted the title of king or duke?
Isn't this just worrying?
"Let's go back to your Taoist temple and have a detailed chat!"
Zhu Yuanzhang winked at the guard. He and Zhang Yi originally just wanted to walk, but after being interrupted by Chang Mao's incident, Lao Zhu had no idea.
The guards pulled the carriage and several people got on the horses.
After Zhang Yi pointed the way, they headed towards Qingxin Temple.
When they arrived at Qingxin Temple, everyone got out of the car. The emperor looked around Qingxin Temple. After being cleaned up by Zhang Changshang and his disciples, the Poro Taoist Temple was considered clean.
It's just that the foundation of this Taoist temple is really not good, the mottled walls and even the covering have fallen off.
Zhu Yuanzhang was thoughtful, but Zhang Changshang seemed frightened by him and did not even dare to find a better Taoist temple for his son.
Of course, there is probably another reason why Zhang Changsheng did not dare to place Zhang Yi in a good Taoist temple.
There were many people talking, and this guy was obviously afraid that Zhang Yi's unscrupulous words would lead to him being caught with some evidence of beheading.
Zhang Yi's mouth was indeed very poisonous. If he hadn't been a child and there was an old god behind him, the emperor would have killed him long ago.
"Senior Brother Zhongxiu, please go buy some things. I'll talk to Uncle Huang!"
Seeing Lao Zhu's appearance, Zhang Yi probably wanted to ask him for more details. He didn't want Deng Zhongxiu to know too much about his affairs, so he sent Deng Zhongxiu away.
The emperor gave the guard a look, and the guard gave Deng Zhongxiu five hundred coins. The little Taoist understood this and left voluntarily.
Entering Po Tao Temple, Zhang Yi led the emperor to a relatively clean room and sat down. He lowered his eyebrows and looked very well-behaved.
Lao Zhu knew his character and smiled:
"Second son of the Zhang family, stop pretending and talk to your uncle. If you speak well, I promise to supply you with enough alchemy materials!"
Seeing Zhang Yi's suspicious expression, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this little guy was not easy to fool, so he said:
"You probably know that I am a businessman! It is not easy for us businessmen to survive in this world... If the news you mentioned is true, it will be beneficial to my judgment of the situation.
Your uncle and I came to the capital from Wudi to seek life, and I am not familiar with the place. The most important thing is to quickly find someone to join me, but this is also about timing and connections!
Zhang Yi, let's make a deal. If you have any useful information, just tell me and I will try my best to meet your requirements! "
Zhu Yuanzhang paused and said:
"I said I would take care of you, but I see that you are also a sensible person and are not willing to accept too much help from me!"
His words brought Zhang Yi silence.
"So, let's just tell your uncle a story. I will judge whether it is good or bad. But if your uncle benefits from the story, he will also share the benefits with you... What do you think of this?"
Zhang Yi was a little moved by Zhu Yuanzhang's suggestion.
After he became independent, he was thinking about how to make money. There were so many things he wanted, but to realize them, he needed money.
Zhang Yi has a way to make money, but he may not have a way to make money.
The household registration system of the Ming Dynasty was extremely strict. Zhang Yi was born in Longhu Mountain, so he naturally had the status of a Taoist priest.
This status meant that he could not amass wealth like a businessman, and even if he amassed money, how could a seven or eight-year-old child keep his wealth?
The Uncle Huang in front of me seems to be a good partner.
He is a close friend of his father, and his character is endorsed by Lao Zhang, so he should be good.
"Um……"
He nodded silently. As a time traveler, he didn't have any golden fingers.
The only thing he can rely on is the knowledge of modern people in his mind.
Since knowledge can be sold for money, there is nothing wrong with making yourself live a better life.
"So, how do you know whether the emperor will grant titles to those who have made meritorious deeds or not?"
"Did your ancestor give you lessons again?"
Zhang Yi:......
He found that he had told a lie casually and was destined to continue telling it.
Therefore, he nodded silently, which was regarded as acquiescence.
However, in order to prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from asking further questions, he also edited the content of the conversation with Zhang Daoling, and Zhang Yi added some things.
"It wasn't my ancestor who told me, it was my dream that I went to the cave where my ancestor chatted with me. My ancestor was not in the cave, and there was only a book on the table..."
"This book has no words, but when I opened it, I could see some things..."
Zhang Yixin was making nonsense. Anyway, he had read a lot of fantasy novels in his previous life. It would be too easy to make up a cheat.
Sure enough, Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao were frightened. This child has a deep connection with immortality.
The Wordless Heavenly Book, at first glance, is known to be from the Immortal Family, but what did this child see from the Wordless Heavenly Book?
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was dubious, he quickly asked:
"Then what did you see?"
"I saw a list...it said..."
"Li Shanchang, Duke of Han, has a salary of four thousand dan; Xu Da, Duke of Wei, has a salary of 5,000 dan; Chang Mao, Duke of Zheng... Li Wenzhong, Duke of Cao..."
Zhu Yuanzhang's pupils shook, and Zhang Yi wrote out what he saw in the heavenly book, which was almost the same as the list in his mind.
Xu Da was considered by others to be the number one hero, but Lao Zhu placed Li Shanchang in the first place. This may be guessed by those who are interested.
But Zhu Yuanzhang believed that no one could understand Xu Da, the name of Wei Guogong, because Xu Da had already received a reward from Duke Xin. Before the emperor ascended the throne, Xu Da defeated the reward given to him by Pingjiang Lao Zhu.
According to normal logic, even if Xu Da is granted the title of Duke, he should be the Duke of Xinguo!
This guy has something!
"Are there really gods in this world?"
Lao Zhu became confused and confused, and when he looked at Zhang Yi again, he was as shocked as a ghost.
However, he found that one person on the list was very strange, Zheng Guogong Chang Mao. Why Chang Mao?
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to Chang Mao's name and said:
"How can this son be qualified to rank with all the princes?"
Zhang Yi was silent for a while and said: "A son is as valuable as his father!"
"Nonsense, no matter how powerful Chang Mao is, he can't compare to Chang Yuchun. Wait, what about Chang Yuchun? Why isn't he on this list?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhang Yi, but an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Zhang Yi, however, remained silent. Lao Zhu was thinking about everything.
No one knows himself better than him. If Chang Mao replaces Chang Yuchun as Duke in the future, there is only one possibility.
Chang Yuchun did not survive long enough for him, Lao Zhu, to become a hero, and he was no longer alive before that.
Just thinking about this possibility made Zhu Yuanzhang extremely nervous.
"I do not believe!"
Lao Zhu clapped his hands and placed his name on this list.
