Zhu Yuanzhang nodded silently and said:
"This kid has outstanding abilities and is blessed with immortality. The most important thing is that he has good character! Even if he doesn't practice Taoism, this kid is still a talented person. It's a pity... that he was born in Longhu Mountain!"
The emperor felt regretful and Zhu Biao was thoughtful.
He had underestimated his father's approval of the child.
Zhang Yi has been from Longhu Mountain since he appeared in front of the emperor. The emperor's initial use of him was just to use him to glimpse fragments of the future to seek good fortune and avoid disaster.
If he were just satisfied with this injustice, Zhang Yi's status as a Taoist priest and his origins in Longhu Mountain would not trouble Zhu Yuanzhang.
When the emperor regretted Zhang Yi's Longhushan identity, it was precisely Zhu Yuanzhang who wanted to arrange another identity for Zhang Yi, but chose not to use it due to concerns about Longhushan's background.
The choice in the emperor's heart is actually self-evident...
Zhu Biao never imagined that even though Zhang Yi was being sarcastic and sarcastic, his father, who had an extreme temper, would still have this idea?
This shows that Zhu Yuanzhang recognized Zhang Yi's other abilities besides "immortality" and was moved by his love for talents!
"My son also feels that Zhang Yi has given up the idea of inheriting the Zhang family's Celestial Master, and has little to do with Longhu Mountain. With Zhang Yi's ability, it would be a pity if he could just become a Taoist priest..."
"Hmph, what else can he be if he's not a Taoist priest? This kid can't read well. Look at his crooked handwriting, I can't even see it! And this kid is full of bad ideas... If Sanqing doesn't accept him, who else will accept him? ? Do we still want him to be my dog... No, he said he is not worthy of being my official dog!"
When mentioning this matter, Lao Zhu was full of resentment!
"Am I really that stingy?"
Zhu Yuanzhang gave Zhu Biao a proposition. Zhu Biao smiled awkwardly and quickly answered:
"That's just Tong Yanwuji, the younger brother of the Zhang family!"
"Humph, none of them tell me the truth, forget it, don't ask anymore!"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt bored and began to think about this issue. Lao Zhu was aware of this before meeting Zhang Yi.
A person's origin and experience will profoundly affect his character. No matter how wise a person is, it is difficult for him to realize his shortcomings...
The emperor's character was paranoid, but he was not the kind of person who couldn't listen to suggestions at all.
However, no one dared to speak the truth to Zhang Yi so bluntly, and even if someone said it, Lao Zhu's reaction would most likely be to get angry and kill him!
His inferiority complex, malice towards the world, and desire for family affection are the corners he hides deep in his heart that he himself has never touched.
It was a secret that would make him furious if anyone dared to reveal it.
There are many smart people in the world. Others may not have seen the emperor's secret, but smart people can also see that Zhu Yuanzhang is not Li Shimin, so they choose to see through it but not tell it!
Only Zhang Yi, by chance, untied Lao Zhu's layer of scars and exposed them to the sun.
It hurts, but it also gives Zhu Yuanzhang the opportunity to face the past that he doesn't want to face.
Lao Zhu took a deep breath when he thought of this.
"Eternal Emperor... Forget it, I won't argue with a villain like you... No, I must settle this grudge with you..."
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know that the expression on his face was changing, as he was always very deep in the city and could not express his emotions or anger.
As a bystander, Zhu Biao lowered his head and smiled meaningfully.
Kings are afraid that others will see through their darkness, but why don't they hope that someone will truly understand them?
As the Zhang family brother said, we are all mortals, always full of contradictions...
…
Zhang Yi is writing a letter home...
Although he had just sent a letter home, he could not wait to tell Zhang Changsong's suggestion immediately.
Using the emperor's power to promote the smallpox vaccine was one of the few time-travelers who wanted to change history when he originally just wanted to be a spectator. In the past, Zhang Yi was powerless, but now he found that Longhu Mountain can be used well and should be a good help.
Moreover, this may not be the hope of Longhu Mountain! At least the value shown by the Zhang family can alleviate the malicious suspicion of the petty king to the greatest extent!
He began to write a letter to Zhang Changsheng using handwriting that was unfamiliar to him and looked like a dog scratch.
"Made, calligraphy is too difficult!"
Zhang Yi wrote for a whole day and finally finished a thick letter, and then asked Deng Zhongxiu to ask someone to send the letter to Longhu Mountain as quickly as possible.
However, the two soon ran into trouble because there was something wrong with Longhushan's previous letter delivery channel.
This question is very simple. In the past, the forces of Zhengyiyi were all over the south of the Yangtze River. Every province and every prefecture had Taoist temples affiliated with Longhu Mountain. If you wanted to send messages to Longhu Mountain, you only needed a fixed channel.
But after the emperor began to implement control, all the monks and Taoists in the world were managed.
Although there are exceptions in this capital, and the Emperor Longhushan also granted some privileges, under layers of restrictions, Longhushan’s previous channels are gone!
"Senior Brother Deng, do you remember that Brother Huang told us where his home address in the capital is?"
Zhang Yi already knew from Zhang Chengcheng about the emperor's control of the monks and Taoists, but he did not expect that the situation would become so serious. It can be seen that once he takes action, the good days of the monks and Taoists will be over.
"My father's psychological quality is not good. He still has five years of good life, but he chooses to self-destruct! Don't you think so, Senior Brother Deng?"
Zhang Yi hadn't realized yet that Zhang Changsong was taking the blame for the emperor, and he was complaining about Zhang Changshang in a serious manner.
Deng Zhongxiu looked embarrassed. He didn't dare to agree. Fortunately, Zhang Yi mainly asked where the Huang Mansion was?
He also heard Zhu Biao say it a while ago.
"Junior brother, I still remember, it was probably... I'll take you there!"
Deng Zhongxiu knew where to tell Zhang Yi, but Zhang Yi couldn't find it. Yingtian Mansion was not as big as Jiangxi, but it was much bigger.
The two asked for directions along the way, and with the guidance of enthusiastic people, they finally found the "Huang Mansion". The Huang Mansion is located in a very low-key location, and the whole courtyard is not eye-catching.
Zhang Yi and Deng Zhongxiu knocked on the door of Huang Mansion.
"Sir, Zhang Yi is here..."
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were not present in the Huang Mansion.
A man who looked like a servant went straight to the backyard to report.
"That little god came to the door so quickly. You guys hurry up and change your clothes... Wait, you open the door and I'll be there right away!"
Because of Zhang Yi's arrival, everyone in the yard was in a frenzy.
Zhang Yi and Deng Zhongxiu waited outside for a long time. They thought there was no one inside and were about to leave.
The door creaked and opened from the inside.
Zhang Yi vaguely remembered that the person who opened the door was also one of the acquaintances who went to the Taoist temple with Uncle Huang's uncle.
"It turns out to be Xiao Zhenren! Little Gao Jianxian has met Xiao Zhenren!"
Before the servant could say anything, a man who looked like a butler ran over.
He was extremely respectful when he met Zhang Yi.
"Excuse me, are your Mr. Huang and Young Master here?"
Deng Zhongxiu asked on behalf of Zhang Yi.
"The master and the young master have gone out of the city and have not come back yet. If the young master wants to find the master, please come in first and wait!"
"If you are in an emergency, I'll go find the master right away..."
Zhang Yi waved his hands when he heard this and said:
"It's not that I'm looking for uncle for something urgent, it's just that I have a letter that I want to send to Jiangxi urgently, but the previous route has disappeared. We just passed by and wanted to ask uncle if he could help deliver the letter!"
"This is easy to handle! Just give the letter to me directly. The letter will be in the hands of Master Zhang in a few days at most!"
Seeing that the matter was settled, Zhang Yi nodded and thanked him.
"You're welcome, little real person!"
Gao Jianxian watched Zhang Yi leave and then sent the letter to the palace!
