People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 9 Can I Be a Good Emperor?

To say that the emperor is narrow-minded is definitely a capital crime of beheading.

Zhang Yi said casually just now, seeing Lao Zhu's questioning, he also hesitated for a moment, so he turned his eyes to his father and asked for his opinion.

The emperor also turned to look at Zhang Normal, and the others all focused on Zhang Normal with strange expressions on their faces.

The Patriarch of the Zhang family wished he could drive west now and ignore the mundane troubles, but he still managed to force a smile and said:
"Your Uncle Huang is my best friend, absolutely trustworthy! Say what you have to say!"

"Oh!"

Since the old man has repeatedly emphasized that Uncle Huang is trustworthy, it's fine.

Zhang Yi thought for a moment and said:
"In fact, everyone's growth experience will affect a person's life, and the character of a founding emperor often affects a dynasty. Today, His Majesty came from a humble background, and has gone through hardships to get to his current position. Of course, this king has his great side. , but the inferiority complex brought about by his native family will also affect his behavior style!"

The scene was so silent that even Zhu Biao didn't dare to speak.

Although the emperor made a conclusion just now, what Zhang Yi said can be regarded as the words of a child, or the words of a certain god.

But it is a very serious accusation to be accused of the emperor's inferiority in person, especially if it is said in front of the emperor.

The crime of disobedience, great disrespect...

Let alone Lao Zhu now, the guards behind Lao Zhu couldn't sit still.They can't wait to leave immediately, not to hear these words.

"You go out!"

The emperor couldn't see any joy or anger, but just waved his hand to let the guards go.

If the guards are granted amnesty, leave immediately!

At the scene, only Zhu Biao and Zhang Normal remained where they were.

"go on!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's mood is by no means as calm as he looks on the surface.

Zhang Yi's word "inferiority" seems to express the dark side that he least wants to be seen by others. They all say how about Lao Zhu. Who would have thought that the emperor would actually be confused in his heart?

From a penniless beggar to today, Lao Zhu himself feels that his experience is too mysterious.

In front of people, he is a king, a father, and a husband, and he is not allowed to expose his inner weakness in front of others. Probably only Empress Ma and him have a close relationship, so that he can see a trace of inferiority in Lao Zhu.

Even if Empress Ma could see it, she would never point it out to protect Lao Zhu's dignity.
And others, who can understand him?

"This low self-esteem comes from his origin. If we talk about the origin of the emperor of Ming Dynasty, he is unprecedented. He reads books and listens to stories... He will never meet a more legendary emperor than him! But this kind of legend , will definitely intensify the emperor's thoughts, he will worry that he will not be the emperor, so he will try his best to prove himself to the world..."

At the same time, he was also worried that since he could be the emperor, others would have some thoughts that they shouldn't think about! "

Zhang Yi cleared his throat and said:
"This kind of suspicion towards the ministers will cause the emperor to act too viciously. From the perspective of outsiders, although His Majesty has great abilities, his mind is still small!"

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned back instinctively, neither happy nor angry, but there was already a trace of killing intent in his eyes.

No matter who it is, if you don't give a little face and directly reveal the side you don't want to face in your heart, you won't be happy.

No one is a sage, who can face his own darkness, let alone a king.

"Shenxian Zhang, after all, I still blame the emperor for treating the Zhang family like this..."

In Lao Zhu's words, Zhang normal seems to have smelled the smell of blood, and almost knelt on the ground, begging the emperor for forgiveness.

If he was not afraid of offending the emperor, he would have done so long ago.

Frightened, Lao Zhang could only scold Zhang Yi:

"You rebellious son, dare to comment on the emperor like this, don't get involved with our Zhang family!"

"Old Zhang, how can you blame the child for the words of the gods!"

Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses, seeing that Zhang was disrupting the situation normally,

He patted Zhang Normal on the shoulder, Zhang Normal's complexion twisted, and finally suppressed his fear and nodded silently.

"Uncle is wrong. I don't think the patriarch didn't blame the emperor. On the contrary, the patriarch hoped that the emperor would kill the prestige of the Zhang family! The Zhang family is a trivial matter in the world, but the interest groups represented behind the Zhang family should indeed be suppressed!
Perhaps after being suppressed, the Zhang family can continue to pass on, but if the Zhang family is favored again, they may be in danger of dying! "

What Zhang Yi said was sincere. Although he was just a traveler, he was from Longhu Mountain after all.

On the mountain where he was isolated in childhood, there were his parents, relatives...

Big brother Zhang Yuchu will not look down on him because his father doesn't like him, he always protects his younger brother with his naive thoughts.

Little brother Zhang Yuqing is a little follower, when he messes around, his father punishes him, and he is willing to take the blame for himself!
Although he never experienced family affection in Zhang Normal, Zhang Yi did experience it in his mother and brother.

Therefore, he still likes Longhu Mountain!
As a time traveler, he could see the problems in the Zhang family.

The eldest brother Zhang Yuchu, the future 43rd generation celestial master, is also a famous master in the history of Taoism, but his position of celestial master was finally passed on to his younger brother Zhang Yuqing. The story behind it is alarming.

He was punished by the emperor for disaster, and eventually lost the position of celestial master.

It is hard for Zhang Yi to imagine that the elder brother who protects him everywhere will become such a person in the future, but after thinking about it carefully, it is not surprising that the elder brother becomes such a person.

Longhu Mountain has a radius of hundreds of miles, and the Zhang family is the sky.

It is easy for people to lose themselves in power.

This is still the Zhang family that Zhu Yuanzhang cleaned up and suppressed. In the future, there will also be several scum.

What if the Zhang family was once again favored?Will it degenerate to the point that even the emperor can't stand it?

After all, although they are both a thousand-year-old family, the Zhang family has absolute amulets compared to the Kong family. The emperor can exchange for the Quanzhen Tao, but it may not be impossible to destroy a Zhang family.

Old Zhu stared at Zhang Yi, but saw that his expression was firm, obviously agreeing with his ancestor's opinion.

The anger in his heart subsided a little.

But it was also uncomfortable, if Zhang Daoling's criticism of him was out of selfishness, the flame in Lao Zhu's heart still had a vent.

But Zhang Yi, or the selflessness shown by the old god in Zhang Yi's dream, made the emperor unable to do anything.

Fortunately, after all, he still has some heart to suppress the anger in his heart.

"It seems that His Majesty is not useless in the eyes of the old god!"

"Uncle Huang's words are wrong. The old ancestor said that His Majesty the Emperor's mind is small. It's because the Emperor's thinking is still somewhat unable to get rid of the farmer's thinking because of his background!"

The old farmer, Lao Zhu, who had been detained again, looked strange. Zhang Yi did not suspect him, and continued:

"But apart from the influence of the original family, our Majesty of the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as a great king, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is an emperor through the ages!"

The word Qiangu Yidi was mentioned again, and Zhu Yuanzhang's heart trembled.

He was hammered by Zhang Yi just now, but now he is given an evaluation of an emperor through the ages, Lao Zhu's mood is like riding a roller coaster.

Moreover, being praised by this child, he actually felt a sense of joy and approval.

"I...really? Can His Majesty be a good emperor today?"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't notice it himself, and his voice trembled a little.
