Zhang Yi's exaggerated expression made the emperor want to beat him.
Others were holding back their laughter. This guy seemed like the Emperor couldn't eat if he didn't do anything for a day.
Moreover, when Emperor Jingtiao spoke when he was around, Zhang Yuchu looked at Zhang Chenggang with some sympathy. He finally understood why his father often sighed on Longhu Mountain.
It's hard not to feel depressed when you have such a young man in the capital!
Zhu Yuanzhang's stingy image was completely determined by Zhang Yi, and Lao Zhu was unable to resist.
"The Zhang family is auspicious. I'm not surprised to receive a reward. But with the emperor's temperament, he is unlikely to give the Zhang family too much power. As a king, it is taboo to change orders from day to day. Since the tone has been set to suppress the monks and Taoists, even if No matter how great the Zhang family's contribution is, the reward can only be within a certain range...
The reward given by the emperor to my father was obviously partly out of anger and deliberately irritated the Kong family. I thought so at first, but then I thought about it, he was Zhu Yuanzhang!
No matter how angry he was, he couldn't lose his sense of proportion because of this. The things the emperor gave to the Zhang family would naturally have important responsibilities for the Zhang family. I couldn't understand the previous part. I didn't know until I heard what my father said about the debate between Liu Ji and Li Shanchang...
It turns out that actually promoting vaccination is more difficult than I thought..."
Zhang Yi's words were sincere. Although he was a time traveler, he didn't know everything.
In the early Ming Dynasty, the people did not trust the imperial court. He had never thought about this. He was only reminded by Liu Bowen, and Zhang Yi thought that this was normal.
In his eyes, the Ming Dynasty was a dynasty that inherited the Han family and lasted for more than two hundred years.
But in the minds of the current people, it is still unknown whether the Ming Dynasty will survive past next year...
No wonder Kong Kejian and the others were not confident. Back then, the Red Scarf Army's Northern Expedition frightened the Yuanshun Emperor to the point of almost moving its capital, but didn't it all disappear in the end?
In the past eighty years, many people have rebelled. How many of them can succeed?
The Yuan Dynasty was the orthodoxy in the hearts of the people.
This is what should be done. Only when Ming Dynasty takes over Dadu in the second half of this year will this matter be reversed.
But even if the Ming Dynasty was recognized by the people, it would probably take Zhu Yuanzhang several years to make up for the harm caused by the government to the people at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the people's distrust of the government.
After going back and forth, isn't it now very difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang to implement any policy?
Therefore, the weight of Longhu Mountain is more important than he imagined.
The imperial court currently does not have the support of the people, but it has been operating for hundreds of years, especially the Zhang family, which has spread its influence throughout the south in recent decades and has a large number of people's beliefs.
This is the reason why the emperor wants to take advantage of the Zhang family, and also the reason why the emperor wants to guard against the Zhang family.
Merits must be rewarded. Since the emperor wanted to take advantage of the Zhang family, he had to reward the Zhang family, but he also didn't want to see an overly privileged Zhang family, so...
He would use the Zhang family to stimulate the Confucian family, and then use the Confucian family's status in the hearts of scholars to deliberately provoke some people's opinions against the Zhang family.
Someone in the court has an interest in Longhu Mountain, which means that Zhu Yuanzhang is always grasping a handle that can turn him against him in the future...
Zhang Yi told Zhang Changsheng what he had analyzed, and the latter was dumbfounded.
Zhang Changsheng was still frightened, and secretly glanced at Emperor Hongwu. He accompanied the emperor like a tiger. How could he have imagined that there were so many profound meanings hidden in the emperor's actions?
Zhu Yuanzhang was also very embarrassed. The little bastard Zhang Yi revealed his plans in his heart. No matter how shameless he was, he couldn't bear it.
Lao Zhu found that it was too difficult not to get angry whenever he saw Zhang Yi.
But the emperor is still the emperor, and no matter how embarrassed he is, he will treat it as if it's nothing. As long as he doesn't pretend to be embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
He also asked seriously:
"Then why do you say it's a good thing that the emperor plotted against the Zhang family?"
Zhang Yidao:
"Our Majesty knows very well that he wants to promote the merits and reputation of Smallpox. The Zhang family is a very useful chess piece. The people are ignorant and believe in ghosts and gods. The Tianshi Mansion has been operating in China for hundreds of years. You and the people They can't understand the explanation of bacteria and viruses. It's better to rely on the fairy's words to make it simple and clear!
The emperor's efforts to promote this matter have his own advantages, but the disadvantages are also obvious. It is true to use Longhu Mountain and promote vaccination to win over the people and increase his prestige, but Longhu Mountain will also reap the benefits!
Why did the emperor beat my father back then? Isn't it because he is afraid of the prestige of Longhu Mountain?
If things evolve later and the emperor gets the benefits but does not restrict Longhu Mountain, he will no longer be Emperor Zhu...!
The emperor used the Kong family to stir up the hostility of the officials towards Longhu Mountain. To a certain extent, it was he who expressed goodwill.
There's no way, our emperor's temperament is like this, if he admires Longhu Mountain so much and is so graceful without any restrictions, I won't be able to sleep!"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what to say, but this guy made his thoughts clear.
He didn't know whether he should be afraid and kill this kid, or whether he should feel like a confidant.
Zhang Yi's performance reminded him of Liu Ji. The only one in the court who could really see through his thoughts was probably the old guy. But this time Liu Ji couldn't see through his arrangement, but Zhang Yi made it clear.
The emperor had mixed feelings, but it was not a taste.
"Actually, I said, our emperor is really powerful!"
Zhang Yi didn't realize at all that a knife was hanging on his neck, and everyone else was sweating for him.
He changed the topic and praised Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang:......
This guy would insult himself when they met, and then praise him after insulting him.
Maybe it was because he had been hacked a lot, but every time Zhang Yi praised him, he felt that this guy was sincere.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
Others didn't dare to answer, so Lao Zhu had to praise Zhang Yi himself.
He also wanted to know what Zhang Yi wanted to praise himself for?
"Liu Ji and Li Shanchang are both unborn geniuses. Especially from what my father told me, I have great admiration for that Uncle Liu... Yushi Zhongcheng, but their thinking is still too upright after all, and they rarely think beyond the perspective of Confucianism. Thinking about the problem, Your Majesty can make use of Longhu Mountain. This is why Your Majesty is stronger than them.
He does not stick to any rules and regulations, and can use any available resources. The height of the emperor is not comparable to the two of them...
And choosing Yangzhou is a good place. Yangzhou is one of the world's freight transit hubs. Your Majesty probably also hopes that after the pox vaccination matter is handled in Yangzhou, the news can be spread throughout the world through the uniqueness of this place..."
Lao Zhu was secretly happy that Zhang Yi could still see this layer.
Just like a person carefully designing something, he always hopes that others can understand it.
Zhu Yuanzhang did have this idea in choosing Yangzhou City.
"You're not a bad guy. What would you do if you were in your shoes?"
Lao Zhu also had the idea of taking the exam to make a difference.
Zhang Yi chuckled:
"If you let me do it, I will do it more cruelly than Your Majesty!"
