As Zhang Yi said, we are all mortals, with changing hearts and uncertain minds.
His views on Zhu Yuanzhang are generally the same, with some good and some bad feelings.
Zhang Chengcheng did not want to dwell on this issue, but continued to talk about what happened in the palace.
Zhang Yi would interrupt from time to time, such as asking what Xu Da looked like. Ask Zhu Biao what he looks like?
He was very curious about these historical figures, but he didn't have much interest in interacting with them.
When Zhang Chenggong finished everything, Zhang Yi sighed.
"My guess is correct. Kong Keguo is indeed pretending to be stupid, but he also underestimates our Majesty and is playing tricks on him. How many people in this era can play tricks on him?
Hu Weiyong, Liu Ji, Li Shanchang... these people combined are not enough for our Majesty, let alone Kong Kejian, who is not even qualified to carry shoes for those people!"
After all, Kong Kejian did not escape his original fate and was left in the capital by Zhu Yuanzhang.
In the original historical trajectory, although this incident happened more than half a year later, his end was similar.
Zhu Yuanzhang is the strongest person in this era, bar none. To play tricks on him, I can only say that Kong Kejian is very addicted to food, and Lao Zhu is different from other emperors. Most of the other emperors were born before. They have been accustomed to and followed a set of rules among decent people since they were young, and do things They all keep the bottom line.
But Zhu Yuanzhang is different. After Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, how many years has it been since China had an emperor like him? Moreover, his character was on the other extreme compared to the chivalrous Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty.
He dared to flip the table!
Kong Kejian is now paying the price for his own cleverness. Didn't he pretend to be crazy and act like a fool? Zhu Yuanzhang left him in Yingtian Mansion, so he could only continue to pretend to be crazy and act like a fool...
At least for a long time, he didn't dare to "recover" from his illness!
If he is really "cured", doesn't this clearly tell the world that he is teasing the emperor?
Therefore, Kong Kejian could only pretend for the sake of the Kong family, even for his grandson who was about to be sent to the capital.
How cruel is it for a normal person to pretend to be stupid?
But this is why Zhu Yuanzhang kept Kong Kejian and then tortured him.
"Use the honor of the Zhang family to attack the Confucian family's self-confidence, and at the same time establish authority and let the world know how to get along with the emperor... The Zhang family will probably live a good life for a while because of the Kong family, but my father should do everything Be careful, Emperor Hongwu has unpredictable thoughts, so don't be arrogant!
In particular, now that the monks are banned, only people of the righteous sect are allowed to walk, but the emperor opened a gap. If people in this world want to become a monk, they must first choose the righteous sect. But in this case, dad, you must not open the door to convenience, otherwise it will be a disaster rather than a blessing..."
Zhang Yi learned from Zhang Changcheng that Longhu Mountain was entrusted by the emperor to pray for the heroes of the North.
This is the reward the Zhang family received for accompanying the emperor in this political show. With this privilege, Longhushan, regardless of the Zhang family, even the disciples of the Zhengyi Taoist Temple can walk out of the Taoist temple and walk in the world.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Longhu Mountain to expand its influence, but it is also the source of disaster.
It is not advisable to be arrogant based on favor!
Zhang Chenggang nodded. Now he has not dared to ignore Zhang Yi's proposal. Whenever he had a hint of pride, thinking about Kong Kejian's fate, he, the great master, was also very upset.
“Old Master Kong, I don’t know what will happen?”
As both heads of aristocratic families, Zhang Changsheng was somewhat moved by Kong Kejian's fate.
"Since he insists on doing one thing, there is no turning back. Now the only thing that can keep him alive is the expansion of Timur in the north and the persistence of Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty. When Dadu falls in August, November The Yuan army was defeated in Shanxi...that Duke Yansheng probably has no reason to live!"
Zhang Zhongping was silent, but Zhang Yineng spoke so categorically, presumably because he had already had a glimpse of the future.
Even Lao Zhang, a heavenly master, was astonished by his ability.
"In addition to Zhang Daoling and Zhang Jixian, our old Zhang family has not had a person who has ascended to immortality for a long time!"
Lao Zhang hid this sentence, but he was more and more in awe of Zhang Yi in his heart. Immortals, although the world calls the Heavenly Master on Longhu Mountain an immortal, Lao Zhang himself knows that he is not.
If a descendant of the Zhang family really becomes an immortal in the future, it must be Zhang Yi.
"It's late at night. Dad and eldest brother, you two have to go to the palace to deal with the emperor tomorrow, so let's not talk!"
Zhang Yi took the initiative to end the topic. Zhang Chengzheng nodded and stood up to rest.
"I sleep with my second brother!"
Zhang Yuchu hadn't seen Zhang Yi for a long time, and when he did he came and went in a hurry, so naturally he had endless things to say.
The child's hatred came and went quickly. Zhang Changshang didn't take it seriously and went in to rest.
"I just woke up and couldn't sleep, brother, right?"
Zhang Yuchu watched Zhang Yi leave Zhang Chenggang and then grabbed Zhang Yi's neck:
"What else have you seen from the future? Don't hide it from your brother!"
Zhang Yi pushed him away angrily: "You are already a mature child... If you have anything to say, just tell me!"
"Have you copied some interesting books in the future, like "Miscellaneous Words"... I want to read it,
Also, let me ask you..."
Zhang Yuchu was still talented in reading. When a young man was in the most curious stage of his life, even the obscure microscopic world did not stop him from yearning for knowledge. He threw many questions at Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi It's also a headache.
It is not difficult to answer these questions, but every time he answers a question, because Zhang Yuchu does not have a basic understanding of "science", Zhang Yi's answer will only bring up more questions.
"How about you write down the book about the future you see for me?"
Zhang Yi didn't want to refuse the question raised by his elder brother, so he nodded in agreement!
"Sleep! I have to go to the palace tomorrow..."
Zhang Chenggong's voice came from the room. Zhang Yuchu didn't dare to speak and ran to sleep.
Leaving Zhang Yi alone, he began to sharpen his ink, trying to write something with a brush, but the words didn't look good, so he simply took out the remaining pencil.
Zhang Yi was thinking about what books to leave for Zhang Yuchu?
If it was something like "Journey to the West", he didn't think it was necessary.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yi had an idea and started to write a few big words on the paper.
"One Hundred Thousand Whys"
This book is also a very powerful popular science book for children in later generations. Zhang Yi recalled while writing it. He found that if there was anything different about him after time travel, it was the books he had read in his previous life. He could remember them as long as he tried hard to remember them. stand up.
"Why do people have fever..."
"Why do you need to drink water after having a fever..."
"Why can snakes crawl without legs?"
"Why do you have to wash your hands before eating!"
Zhang Yi wrote nearly a hundred whys in one breath, and he reluctantly stopped after using up his pencil.
He was also very satisfied with the questions he selected.
One Hundred Thousand Whys is the scientific seed he left in Ming Dynasty.
When other time travelers spread this knowledge, they probably have to hide their origins. He has the status of a little god and can just show it off.
After writing everything, Zhang Yi felt tired. He put the pencil aside and stretched.
However, Zhang Yi was in a daze and found that Zhang Changsong was standing behind him. He was not asleep.
"You are young and growing, so you don't have to worry about hurting your roots if you go to bed so late!"
Zhang Changsheng was very angry, but Zhang Yi rarely refuted him, but said:
"My father will see the emperor tomorrow and will probably leave again. My eldest brother wants to read a book, but I'm afraid I won't have time to write to him!"
"Too late? Then read it and I'll write it for you!"
Zhang Chenggong snorted coldly, and went to find some pen and ink to get started.
"What are you reading? Finish writing quickly and go to bed!"
Lao Zhang looked like he was about to beat someone up, but Zhang Yi was inexplicably warm.
He read honestly:
"Why doesn't water burn?"
Ahem!
Zhang Changshang was stunned for a moment. Before Zhang Yi could read out the answer, he was completely stunned.
