People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 420: Behind the rumors, the counselor of King Qin?
"Speaking of which, before the imperial court banned discussion of this matter, I made two story books, which sold well. But now that they are banned, I can't make any money..."

After Chen Ke finished speaking, he found that Kong Ne was snickering, but Zhang Yi's face was not very good-looking.

"Two shopkeepers, if your discussion like this will spread to the real person's ears, he will not cooperate with you?"

Zhang Yi took a sip of tea and said casually.

Chen Ke just "realized" that he had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized to Zhang Yi:

“It’s us who have spoken so freely that we have tarnished the Taoist priest’s reputation!
However, this matter has indeed spread a lot in the capital. I have heard people talk about it in Mr. Lin’s place!

Master Kong, no one can approach Qingxin Guan now, and the Taoist priest lives in seclusion!
You are a good friend of the Taoist priest. Do you know the real situation inside? "

Kong Na's face was filled with amusement, he didn't know what gossip was.

He smiled, pointed at Zhang Yi and said:
"This guy knows better than me. He talks sweetly, and he and Qing Xin are from the same family, and they are much closer to each other than I am!
By the way, Xiao Zhang, what do you think? "

Na Na, you are a bad learner!
Zhang Yi looked up at the sky helplessly, the dog emperor was harming people.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a bad personal morality, and he suffered a lot of infamy.

Moreover, it didn't matter if he was scolded, he didn't even eat the meat.

This is a complete injustice.

"Of course it's impossible!"

Zhang Yi felt that he needed to clear his name:

"Zhenzhen Zhang has a profound Taoist practice and is devoted to Taoism. How could he possibly go after the Mongolian princess? Besides, his mother-in-law and fiancée are both in the Taoist temple. Is it possible that he can go after the princess?
In addition, the Jinyi Guards are guarding outside. No matter how crazy the person is, they can't touch the princess, right? "

His words convinced Shen Wansan and Chen Ke.

Zhang Yi is still somewhat famous in the capital, and his image as a master is still there.

"But, Your Majesty, you can't be wrong, right?"

Kong Ne found it funny. He had been friends with Zhang Yi for many years and had never seen Zhang Yi so frustrated.

And when he saw Zhang Yi's eyes dodge, he seemed to have something left unsaid.

It is human nature to eat melons, and Kong Ne has no intention of letting Zhang Yi go.

When he mentioned it, Chen Ke and Shen Wansan nodded.

Anyway, His Majesty will definitely not unjustly accuse Zhang Yi. His personal ethics are at a disadvantage. A Taoist priest has just arrived in the capital a few days ago, and he just wants to harm others. Where can he go?

"I have an idea. Master Zhang's moral character is high... deep... and he will naturally not provoke the princess. But is there any guarantee that the princess will not take the initiative to provoke Master Zhang?"

The new ideas provided by Kong Ne rekindled the gossip between Chen Ke and Shen Wansan, and Zhang Yi wanted to tear this bastard's mouth out.

"Although I have never met the little Taoist priest, I can imagine that Zhenren must be a master of Taoism. The princess does not like King Qin, but it is not surprising that she likes Zhenren..."

Zhang Yi was annoyed: "People believe in the Immortal Heaven, not the King of Medicine!

That woman looked so fierce that no other man could beat her, how could she like a stinky Taoist priest! "

"Can she wrestle?"

The three of them looked at Zhang Yi in astonishment, and only then did Zhang Yi realize that he had spilled the beans.

I'm afraid not many people know that Guanyin slaves can wrestle.

During the 80 years that the Mongols ruled the Central Plains, a large number of Mongolians lived in the Central Plains.

Especially in the north, while many people retain some traditions, most of them also accept Chinese culture!

They have Han Chinese names and follow Han Chinese living habits.

In the land of the Ming Dynasty, and even in Yingtian Mansion, there were a large number of Mongolians and Semu people.

Emperor Zhu initially revolted in the name of expelling the Tartars, but after ruling the world, he became relatively lenient to foreigners.

The biggest reason for this is also because the foreign races in the Central Plains have a high degree of acceptance of Confucian culture.

Therefore, in the original historical trajectory, Zhu Ping, who had lived with Guanyin slaves all his life, probably did not know that his wife was capable of such a trick.

Not to mention these outsiders.

"It seems that Xiao Zhenren is really kind to Brother Zhang!"

Shen Wansan and Chen Ke, two old foxes, immediately recognized the unusual relationship between Zhang Yi and Qingxin Guan. How could they even say this?
Kong Ne smiled playfully:
"I just don't know how Zhang Zhenren knew that the princess knew how to wrestle..."

Zhang Yi took a breath and couldn't let this guy Kong Ne talk any more.

After Kong Ne finished speaking, Shen Wansan and Chen Ke already showed smiles that only men could understand.

No wonder His Majesty said that Zhang Yi's personal ethics were lacking.

Now that you know all about wrestling, can there be nothing wrong?

Hey~
Zhang Yi gave up completely, based on what he had observed from his previous life, how to deal with rumors.

The best thing to do is to play dead and let the news pass.

Seeing that he was not interested in chatting, Chen Ke and Shen Wansan naturally changed the topic.

"Brother Zhang, please go to Qingxin Temple recently. If we can get the business done, we will benefit from you!"

"Good talk!"

"Today is a farewell party for Mr. Kong, so we won't talk about business matters. We will keep in touch more in the future..."

Chen Ke and Zhang Yi exchanged contact information.

The conversation once again returned to the topic of farewell to Kong Ne.

Everyone was well fed, and Kong Ne drank too much.

Chen Ke asked Chen Man to escort them back, and he did not come back until Zhang Yi and Kong Ne entered the house.

"Shopkeeper, the information you got just now may be related to the superiors?"

When Chen Man came back, he saw Chen Ke writing furiously about the Qingxin concept.

Chen Ke glanced at him angrily and asked Chen Man to send this thing up.

"If Xiao Zhang didn't lie, this news should reassure the superiors..."

Chen Man nodded, got the letter written by Chen Ke, and went out.

Not long after, he came back and had already given away the things.

In an unknown corner of Yingtian Mansion, a man opened Chen Ke's letter and felt excited.

"The princess is fine, the princess is fine, she has not been humiliated, please send this thing to Mobei quickly..."

"Sir, how can you be sure that what they say is true or false?

After all, that slippery man can make up anything to deceive you..."

“He doesn’t dare and won’t!

Almost no one knows that the princess can wrestle!

There was no way that fat man could have made up this news. He could really find someone to get close to the princess!
Keep your eyes peeled, maybe we really have hope of rescuing the princess! "

"Yes, my lord!"

After accepting his instructions, his men took the letter and left.

"Please close the door for me. I'm old and it's hard to move my bones..."

After everyone left, the old man stood up shakily, knelt on the ground again, and faced the north.

"Longevity bless!"

……

Zhang Yi didn't know that he was being watched and Kong Ne was about to leave, so he simply talked with Kong Ne at night.

The next day came the day of departure.

Zhang Yi took Lao Mo and personally sent Kong Ne outside the city.

"Brother Kong, see you later!" Kong Ne was about to leave, and Zhang Yi also showed a trace of reluctance.

Alone in a foreign land, as I grow up, I also have to face the scene of separation from relatives and friends.

Kong Ne stuck his head out of the carriage and waved to Zhang Yi from a distance.

As the carriage disappeared into the horizon, Zhang Yi felt lost.

"Let's go back!"

Zhang Yi ordered Lao Mo.The two of them did not return to the city, but moved along the city wall of Nanjing in the direction of Qingxin Temple.

When he returned to Qingxin Temple, Zhang Yi found that a guard had been waiting at the entrance of the Taoist temple for a long time.

"Zhenzhen Zhang, His Highness the King of Qin invites you to be a guest at his residence!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi motioned to Lao Mo to go in first, and followed the guards of Prince Qin's Mansion back to the city.

Standing in front of Prince Qin's palace, Zhang Yi felt a little emotional.

For every adult prince in the Ming Dynasty, if the wedding date was approaching, the emperor would build a palace for them.

The Prince of Qin's Mansion was supposed to be Zhu Xi's residence after getting married, but because of his own interference, he is still single now.

And his original wife's scandal with him caused a storm in the city.

"Brother Zhang"

Zhu Fang learned that Zhang Yi had arrived and went out to greet him personally.

Looking at Zhang Yi again, his expression was very strange.

In the past, he only admired Zhang Yi, but after receiving the news from his father, he realized that Zhang Yi's true role was greater than he imagined.

"How does a Mongolian girl taste?"

Zhu Xi put his hand on Zhang Yi's shoulder and winked at Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Well, Zhu Xi, I helped you avoid lightning, but you still made fun of me?

Zhang Yi was not angry:
"Your Highness, murder is heartbreaking!"

"Hahahaha!"

Zhu Xi laughed loudly when he heard this:

"Brother of the Zhang family, I can't help you anymore. I didn't expect that my father would actually let you live in the Taoist temple with that woman. But did you touch her?
I don’t know about others, but I know about my father. He said that your personal ethics have failed, and you must have failed!
We are brothers, please tell me..."

Zhang Yi sighed. This matter must be explained clearly. He explained the conflict he had with Guanyin Nu when he came back that day.

Zhu Xi heard that Guanyin slaves could actually wrestle and use their swords fiercely.

He suddenly felt chilly in his heart, but he still thought that if he really married the other person, he would definitely die.

If this woman is really what Zhang Yi said, who knows?
There is a high probability that he will not be able to beat that woman. Although he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, Zhu Fang is self-aware of his three-legged cat kung fu.

"It's hard for you, and only you can control her!"

Zhu Ming patted Zhang Yi on the shoulder with some sympathy.

"Don't talk about this, I'm so depressed!
Your Highness, please give the channel an accurate word. Your Majesty put this woman in the Qingxin Temple. What do you mean? "

Zhu Ming's eyes flickered, but he did not directly answer Zhang Yi's question, but just pretended to guess:
"Perhaps, Father wants to torture that woman?

During the battle at Lingbei, my father Lei Lei was furious, and his desire to win over Wang Baobao also faded a lot!
And the behavior of the subjugated princess made the father hate her even more, so he deliberately humiliated her!

You should be the victim, the pawn used by the father to humiliate Guanyin slaves..."

He talked nonsense, but Zhang Yi believed it.

According to his portrait of Lao Zhu, when Zhu Yuanzhang hates someone, he will indeed do many extreme things.

What else can he do besides admitting that he is unlucky?
Lao Zhu criticized him for his lack of personal ethics. Was he warning him not to get too close to Guanyin Nu?

Zhang Yi didn't know that he was simply thinking wrong.

"Your Highness, please stop laughing at me. Regardless of whether His Majesty wants me to take the blame or not, just speak for me...

It's one thing for a poor man to be stigmatized, but after all, the princess is from a daughter's family! "

"It's better that she is stigmatized..."

Zhu Xi’s impression of Guanyin Nu was extremely bad:
"Father is warning you, it's partly because he doesn't want to break up with each other and still misses Wang Baobao!

Is it just that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, including us brothers, can't look at him like that!

If you can get that woman, maybe many people will be happy to see you! "

Zhang Yi: ...

The Ming Dynasty under this history book is really difficult to resist.

But what Zhu Ping said was also logical.

Chang Yuchun was dissatisfied with Zhu Yuanzhang's dog-licking behavior back then. Even if others didn't say it, he might not like the emperor's praise of Wang Baobao.

In fact, from Zhang Yi's own point of view, he also believed that Wang Baobao was not worth winning over.

Putting aside the question of how long he will live, Lao Zhu's character cannot tolerate Wang Baobao at all.

When she doesn't surrender, she is Xiao Tiantian, and after surrendering, she will most likely be Mrs. Niu...

It's a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang himself has a complex that others can see clearly. This is probably the so-called darkness under the lamp.

So the rumors circulating in the capital seem to be played by some people?
Zhang Yi felt a little overwhelmed when he thought of becoming a pawn in the game.

"Your Highness King Qin, please help me..."

"Don't worry, my father has a very bad impression of you now. I'll put in a few nice words for you later, by the way...

There happens to be something that may come in handy! "

"what's up?"

Zhang Yi returned to Beijing this time with the intention of fulfilling his father's wish. The emperor had a bad impression of him, so why bother?

The plan for now is to try to win back the emperor's favor.

At least, don't make him feel bad.

"Father will give our brothers a test in the next few days. As you know, my current goal is to go to sea and see...

But the opportunity that determines whether I can go to sea is in the next two or three years!
My father gave me two conditions. The first condition is to get married this year and leave an heir!
The second condition is that I, within two or three years, must prove that my martial arts skills are superior to those of my other brothers!
Otherwise, I still have to go and join the feudal clan honestly!

The engagement has been decided and I will get married around the middle of the year..."

When Zhu Ping said this, his mood was complicated.

However, he didn't resist much. The first man got married, and his parents ordered a matchmaker. As long as the emperor didn't let him become a victim of political marriage, he would accept it.

He is different now than before.

He has an ideal and a goal to strive for.

The personal relationship between children is secondary.

"But the second condition is making things difficult for me, even though I have tried very hard...

But the third and fourth children are really not weak, and it is impossible to deliberately let them go. Now I can only try to catch up, try to push them down, and let them see what I am capable of as a brother!

Can……"

Zhu Ping was stunned and Zhang Yi smiled.

It is really difficult for Zhu Xi to defeat Zhu Di, an unborn genius, in martial arts.

As for literary talent, the things that the princes were tested for were probably similar to political commentaries!
Is Zhu Xi preparing to make himself his adviser?

Zhang Yi fell into deep thought.
