Soon after, Zhang Yi's family letter to Zhang Chenggong was placed on the desk in the emperor's study room.
Zhang Yi's letter was really a "letter from home" because it was thick. Zhu Yuanzhang opened the letter and started reading. An unfriendly experience came over him.
Zhang Yi's words are really difficult to describe in one word.
"Hasn't this kid practiced calligraphy well? My writing is even better than his..."
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to hit Zhang Yi when he saw his handwriting. This guy's handwriting was like a ghost's calligraphy.
He came from a poor background and had no chance to read anything since he was a child. Later, he married Queen Ma and began to learn how to read and write. But after his own efforts, he finally became good at it.
If I say that I have a poor foundation, Zhang Yi, a bastard, is completely bad at it.
Although Lao Zhu was angry, he still read Zhang Yi's family letter patiently.
The content of the letter was generally consistent with what he had guessed. Zhang Yi seriously persuaded Zhang Changchun to present the method of smallpox vaccine to the emperor. He listed the benefits of the vaccination method and the merits that Longhu Mountain might gain from it. He believed that this was enough to convince Zhang Changchun. .
Zhu Yuanzhang looked very satisfied. At least Zhang Yi was serious about carrying out this matter.
In addition to letters, the reason why this "family letter" is so thick is largely because Zhang Yi wrote a book overnight. Yes, a book...
Starting from Ge Hong, he cited the past and present life of vaccines, quoted scriptures all the way down, and wrote in detail the methods of growing and ripening vaccines, and finally introduced the cowpox. Zhang Yi also had complete operating techniques, which was comparable to what he taught Zhu Zhu. Be much more detailed when bidding.
He told Zhang Changsheng to memorize this book, and preferably to do all the tricks before coming to the interview.
Zhang Yihei did not forget Hei Lao Zhu in his letter, saying that it is difficult to describe the current saint, so this book must be memorized before going to Beijing to meet the saint. At the end, Zhang Yihei did not forget to give Zhang Changchun a vaccination, saying bluntly Today's Holy Emperor likes to give verbal praise, so let him not have too many expectations.
Lao Zhu was already used to Zhang Yi, so he wouldn't cause any trouble at all if he complained to this extent.
What really concerned him was the book written by Zhang Yi to Zhang Changsheng. This book was about the medical skills of vaccines. However, this book was not similar to the medical skills in the world today. There was no qi, blood, yin and yang. In its place was an entirely new theory.
With Zhang Yi's vernacular writing style, Lao Zhu had no difficulty in reading.
"Bacteria, microorganisms, parasites... If dad can't understand, you can use water bugs instead..."
Zhang Yi's book, to a certain extent, made Lao Zhu confirm that this man must be able to peek into the future, although he has verified it through many things in the past.
But this book once again confirmed Zhu Yuanzhang's conjecture.
No genius can throw away the ancient medical system and start a new one out of thin air.
"This kid has hidden a lot of things!"
Zhu Yuanzhang finished reading the book and found that Zhang Yi had several other pages. He looked at it and couldn't laugh or cry. He handed the two "books" to Zhu Biao. The father and son looked at each other and nodded.
Even if the Zhu family and his son have witnessed Zhang Yi's magic countless times, they can't help but doubt it when they get a glimpse of the future.
But Zhang Yi used his actions to once again prove his ability.
As for the other "book", Zhu Biao also laughed.
This kid Zhang Yi is really good at doing evil things!
Zhu Yuanzhang called people in and asked him to copy one copy of Zhang Yi's work, leaving the other copy intact, sealing the envelope and sending it to Longhu Mountain.
"Father gave part of the credit for promoting the vaccination method to Longhushan, and it really paid off!"
Zhu Biao and his men left and said to the emperor!
"That's what he deserves. Am I the kind of person who only takes credit from others? Clear rewards and punishments are the way to be a king!"
Lao Zhu touched another memorial in his hand, and his good mood just now turned ugly.
"Father, what's wrong?"
Zhu Biao obviously felt the emperor's mood change and asked aloud.
Lao Zhu gave the memorial to Zhu Biao to read.
Zhu Biao read two words from the memorial: Confucius...
"Kong Kejian, do you really think that I dare not touch the Kong family? My patience is limited!"
Zhu Biao understood the source of his father's anger.
Kong family, Zhang family...
These two families, one Confucian and the other Taoist... are the only two families in China that can be called aristocratic families.
Unlike the Zhang family who controls Zhengyi, the influence of the Kong family is far greater than that of the Zhang family.
There is no other reason, because the Confucian family is the direct descendant of the most holy teacher Kong Shengren. After Dong Zhongshu dismissed hundreds of schools and only respected Confucianism, Confucianism became the dominant family in China.
No matter how the past emperors acted like monsters, whether they worshiped Buddhism or Taoism, the status of Confucianism has never changed.
It was also because the scholar class represented by Confucianism firmly controlled the management of the Chinese dynasty. As a descendant of Confucius, the Kong family Yan Shenggong Mansion was also put on a pedestal.
Those scholars may not necessarily take the Confucius family to heart, but if the emperor wants to touch the Confucius family, the people of the world will also oppose it.
Because the Confucius family is like the Emperor of Zhou, the spiritual totem of scholars all over the world.
In the past years, if the Kong family chose to be a mascot, the emperors of the past dynasties would definitely give the Kong family enough face for the purpose of ruling.
But the Kong family of this generation is different, or in other words, the Kong family of the entire Yuan Dynasty is the same.
Today's Yanshenggong Kong Kejian was not only a mascot in the previous dynasty, but also a high official in the previous dynasty, ranging from official to minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang now established the Ming Dynasty, attacked Shandong, and captured Jining, Lao Zhu asked Kong Kejian to come to see him, but he actually claimed to be ill and could not come out.
Isn’t it obvious that you still want to be a wallflower and expect the Mongols in the north to create miracles?
If it were in the past, Zhu Yuanzhang would probably have to endure the Kong family for a while, but now Lao Zhu doesn't want to endure it anymore!
"We are from the same aristocratic family, Zhang Changsheng is more knowledgeable. Does Kong Kejian look down on me, a mud-legged emperor, and deliberately puts on airs for me? Prince, later on, you can help me write a manuscript and send it to the front line, and tell Xu Da that he has If the Holy Duke doesn’t come, let Xu Da personally take him back to Beijing!”
The king was angry, and even Zhu Biao, the son who was close to the emperor, was secretly frightened.
"Compared to the old Taoist from Longhu Mountain, this Kong Kejian is just an old man!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's anger made the eunuchs outside the imperial study kneel down and tremble.
"Put it away. Compared with political wisdom, Duke Yansheng of the Kong family is indeed inferior to the one from Longhushan..."
There is no harm without comparison. Compared with Zhang Chengcheng's obedience and Zhang Yi's contribution to the court, Yan Shenggong of the Kong family quickly became disgusting in the eyes of the emperor!
Zhu Biao's emotion temporarily calmed Zhu Yuanzhang's mood.
However, he vaguely already had an idea in his mind!
"A while ago, Li Shanchang was in Zhongshu Province, and he made an evaluation of the Zhang family and the Kong family. I can learn from some of his ideas!"
After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he asked people from outside to come over and deliver an oral message.
Soon after, a school inspection leader rushed eight hundred miles to Longhu Mountain with Zhang Yi's family letter and his oral instructions.
A few days later, the envoy came to Longhu Mountain. After informing him of his identity, the Taoist at the foot of the mountain did not dare to neglect and hurriedly led the envoy up the mountain.
The Zhang family's gate was right in front of them. Before the envoy could step through the gate, he heard a shrill cry:
"Zhang Yi, you stinky bastard!"
