People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 48 The Zhang Family's Good and the Kong Family's Bad

Not long after, on the desk in the emperor's study room, there was already a family letter written by Zhang Yi to Zhang Normal.

Zhang Yi's letter was really a "letter from home", because the letter was thick and heavy. Zhu Yuanzhang opened the letter and began to read it, and an unfriendly experience came over his face.

Zhang Yi's words are really indescribable.

"Hasn't this kid practiced calligraphy well? My handwriting is better than his..."

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhang Yi's handwriting, he wanted to hit him. This guy's handwriting was like a ghost drawing.

He was born in a bad family, and had no chance to read any books since he was a child. Later, he married Empress Ma, and only then began to learn how to read and write, but after his own efforts, he finally succeeded in this aspect.

If it is said that he has a poor foundation, Zhang Yi, this bastard, is completely bad.

Although Lao Zhu was angry, he still read Zhang Yi's family letter patiently.

The content of the letter was basically the same as what he had guessed. Zhang Yi earnestly persuaded Zhang Normal to present the method of smallpox vaccine to the emperor. .

Zhu Yuanzhang looked very satisfied, at least Zhang Yi took this matter very seriously.

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 quoted the scriptures and classics all the way down, and wrote down the methods of growing and ripening vaccines in detail, and finally introduced them to cowpox. Zhang Yi also has complete operation methods, which are comparable to his teaching Zhu Marking is much more detailed.

He told Zhang Tongfan to memorize this book by heart, and it is best to come to the face only after he has done all the tricks.

In the letter, Zhang Yi still did not forget the old Zhu Hei, saying that the current sage is hard to describe, so this book must be memorized first before going to Beijing to meet the sage. Today's majesty likes verbal praise, so let him not have too many expectations.

Old Zhu was already used to Zhang Yi, so he wouldn't make trouble with this level of complaints.

What he really cares about is the book that Zhang Yi wrote to Zhang Normal. This book is about the medical skills of vaccines, but in this book, it is not at all similar to the medical skills in the world today. There is no qi and blood, no yin and yang, In its place is a whole new theory.

With Zhang Yi's writing style in the vernacular, Lao Zhu has no difficulty in reading.

"Bacteria, microorganisms, parasites... If father can't understand, you can use water worms instead..."

Zhang Yi's book, to a certain extent, made Lao Zhu confirm that this son must be able to peek into the future, although he has already verified it through many things in the past.

But this book once again confirmed Zhu Yuanzhang's conjecture.

There is no genius who can throw away the ancient medical system out of thin air and start a new one.

"This kid has hidden a lot of things!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished the book, he found that Zhang Yi had a few more pages. He couldn't laugh or cry when he visited, and handed the two "books" to Zhu Biao. The father and son looked at each other and nodded.

Seeing things like the future, even though the Zhu family and his son have witnessed Zhang Yi's magic countless times, they can't help but doubt it.

But Zhang Yi once again proved his ability with his own actions.

As for the other "book", Zhu Biao also laughed.

This kid Zhang Yi is really good at playing tricks!
Zhu Yuanzhang called someone to come in, and asked someone to copy Zhang Yi's book, and the other copy was sealed and sent to Longhushan.

"Father gave Longhushan part of the credit for promoting the vaccination method, and it really paid off!"

Zhu Biao waited for his subordinates to leave, and said to the emperor!

"That's what he deserves. Could it be that I'm the kind of person who only takes credit from others? Distinct rewards and punishments are the way to be a king!"

Lao Zhu touched another book of memorials in his hand, and the good mood just now became ugly.

"Father, what's the matter?"

Zhu Biao obviously felt the change of the emperor's mood and asked aloud.

Lao Zhu handed over the memorial to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao read two words from the memorial, the Kong family...

"Kong Kejian, do you really think 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...

One of these two families is Confucianism, the other is Taoism... They are the only two families in the land of China that can be called aristocratic families.

Unlike the Zhang family's control of Zhengyi, the Kong family's influence 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 sage teacher, the Confucianist. After Dong Zhongshu deposed all schools and respected Confucianism alone, Confucianism was the only one in China.

No matter how the past emperors behaved like monsters, whether they worshiped Buddhism or respected Taoism, the status of Confucianism has never changed.

It is also because the scholar class represented by Confucianism firmly controls the management of the Huaxia Dynasty. As a descendant of Confucius, the Shenggong Mansion of Kong Jiayan was also raised to the altar.

Those scholars may not necessarily take the Kong family to heart, but if the emperor wants to move the Kong family, people all over the world will also oppose it.

Because the Confucian family is like the emperor of Zhou, the spiritual totem of scholars in the world.

In the past years, if the Kong family chose to be a mascot, the emperors of all dynasties would definitely give the Kong family enough face for their ruling needs.

But the Confucian family of this generation is different, or the Confucian family of the entire Yuan Dynasty is the same.

Today's Yan Sheng Gong Kong Kejian was not only a mascot in the previous dynasty, but also a senior member of the former court from the official to the Ministry of Rites.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang established Daming now, attacked Shandong, and after taking down Jining, Lao Zhu asked Kong Kejian to come to see him, but he actually said that he would not be sick.

Isn't it clear that you still want to be a fool, expecting the Mongols in the north to create miracles?

If it was changed to before, Zhu Yuanzhang would probably have to endure the Kong family for a while, but now Lao Zhu doesn't want to bear it anymore!

"It's the same family, but Zhang Normal's old way is much more interesting. He, Kong Kejian, looks down on me, a mud-legged emperor, and deliberately puts on airs for me? Prince, later, you can write a letter for me and send it to the front line, and tell Xu Da that he is going to send it to the front. If Shenggong doesn't come, let Xu Da personally take him back to Beijing!"

The king was angry, and even Zhu Biao, the son who was intimate with the emperor, was secretly startled.

"Compared to the old Taoist in Longhushan, this Kong Kejian is just an old man!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's anger made the eunuch outside the imperial study kneel down and tremble.

"Put it all together, compared to political wisdom, Duke Yansheng of the Kong family is indeed inferior to the one from Longhushan..."

There is no harm if there is no comparison. Compared with Zhang Normal's obedience and Zhang Yi's contribution to the court, the Kong family's Yan Shenggong quickly became hateful in the eyes of the emperor!
Zhu Biao's emotion temporarily calmed Zhu Yuanzhang's mood.

However, he vaguely had an idea in his heart!

"Recently, when Li Shanchang was in Zhongshu Province, he commented on the Zhang family and the Kong family. One of his ideas can be used as a reference for me!"

After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he asked people from outside to come over and passed on an oral order.

Not long after, a head of the school inspection took Zhang Yi's family letter and his oral order, and rushed to Longhu Mountain eight hundred miles away.

A few days later, the envoy came to Longhu Mountain. After announcing his identity, the Taoists at the foot of the mountain did not dare to neglect, and hurried up the mountain with the envoy.

The gate of the Zhang family was close in front of us, and before the envoy had time to step into the gate, he heard a mournful cry:

"Zhang Yi, you bastard!"
