Early Ming Dynasty: Turning Clouds and Rains into New Learning Saints

Chapter 212 I don’t want to give this honor to Xi Yi
After arriving in the Forbidden City, Zhang Yifan discovered that the eunuch who passed the order was taking him to the harem, and he knew that this was probably not official business.

Not business?

What is it that makes Zhu Yuanzhang, the father-in-law, unhappy?
For a moment, Zhang Yifan was a little confused.

But if he couldn't figure it out, he didn't think about it anymore. Anyway, he would know it when the time comes.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, Zhang Yifan found King Zhou's brother-in-law kneeling there, and he immediately guessed what was going on!

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in the main seat with a drooped face, looking like I was very angry.

Beside him, Queen Ma sat, seemingly trying to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang.

There is another person, the eldest brother Zhu Biao, who is accompanying his younger brother.

The arrival of Zhang Yifan made King Zhou, who had his head down and was being scolded, obviously show a hint of joy when he raised his head and saw him. It was the kind of surprise that when the army was surrounded by the enemy, he suddenly discovered that reinforcements had arrived.

Zhu Biao also saw him, so he greeted him first with a smile: "Yifan, here we come!"

When Queen Ma saw it, she also showed a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang, on the other hand, still had that cold face. When he saw Zhang Yifan, he asked directly: "Do you know about this kid not doing his job properly?"

In the outer court, it is a courtesy.However, when there are no outsiders, Zhu Yuanzhang prefers the feeling of being at home, and does not like those in the outer court.

Therefore, when Zhang Yifan heard the question, he answered directly: "Father, do you mean that the fifth brother is doing something related to medicine?"

This situation is very obvious. Zhu Yuanzhang himself is also a good person. In front of him, pretending to be deaf and dumb will not work at all. It is better to simply admit it.

At this time, when Zhu Yuanzhang heard it, he immediately said angrily: "As expected, you know that this kid also said that you also support him in doing this?"

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan nodded without hesitation and said: "Back to my father, if my fifth brother wants to do something meaningful, of course I will support him."

King Zhou, who was kneeling on the ground, was originally a little worried, fearing that his brother-in-law would change his words and deny it under the power of his father.

At this time, after hearing Zhang Yifan's words, his liking for this brother-in-law has reached another level.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was not happy anymore. He reached out and patted the coffee table next to him, looked at Zhang Yifan and shouted sternly: "It's nonsense, you guys know how to act nonsense!"

When Empress Ma saw them, she quickly advised them, "They are all members of my own family, so please talk to me."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang held back for a while, then softened his tone a little and said to Zhang Yifan: "This boy is not sensible. I thought you were the sensible one. But I didn't expect that you still let me do this." Disappointed. Do you know how easy it is to defend the country I laid down..."

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan could confirm that his father-in-law really regarded him as his family, otherwise he would not have said this.

So, without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to finish speaking, he spoke directly and said sincerely: "Father, I know, I know all this. You are worried about the Ming Dynasty. You can tell from many things at a glance that you are Why do you do that? You want the vassal king to be able to lead troops to fight, so that the Ming Dynasty can be stable, I can understand. However, have you ever thought about the nine sons of a dragon, each of whom is different. Not everyone is suitable to lead He is a soldier who fights in a war. A man who is strong-willed is not sweet and is not suitable for leading an army in a war. Is it possible that you force him to lead an army in a war?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment.

In fact, he himself was born out of war, so why didn't he know that such a thing as fighting a war depends on talent, and it's easier to do bad things if you lose a battle reluctantly!

However, he really wanted to stabilize Zhu Ming's empire, and he was more willing to believe that dragons gave birth to dragons and phoenixes, and mice gave birth to a son who could dig holes.

However, when Zhang Yifan put this matter in front of him, he finally sighed in his heart.

The nine sons of the dragon are all different. Why doesn't he know it? He just doesn't want to admit it!

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang stopped talking, Zhang Yifan continued to say sincerely: "Teach students according to their aptitude and train them to become talents. I think this is the right way. My fifth brother is interested in medicine. At least I think it is a very good thing. It is better than those It’s better to be a dandy sitting on a hawk, walking the dog, eating, drinking and having fun.”

At this point, Zhang Yifan noticed that Zhu Yuanzhang's expression became more relaxed, as if he had thought of something, and felt that this was reasonable, so he continued: "To be honest, I am very dissatisfied with today's medical practice. There are too many diseases that cannot be cured. Watching patients suffer or even die is torture. And as long as you are a human being, you will inevitably get sick. Now that the fifth brother has this ambition, he can really make medical science go further and benefit everyone. To put it bluntly, my descendants, except for you, the founding emperor, other emperors may not have a fifth brother who can make them appreciate and remember you more!"

"If you don't believe it, look at there are so many emperors in history. How many emperors can you remember? But as for medicine, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, etc. are remembered by the world!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he said angrily: "How many people are waiting for medical skills?"

When he said this, he obviously admitted Zhang Yifan's point of view.However, what he said was right, there were not many people with medical skills like Zhang Zhongjing's, so they would be remembered.

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he immediately said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, as long as my fifth brother is truly devoted to medicine, I can guarantee that he will help his fifth brother to shine in medicine, even far surpassing the ancient miracle doctors, and will be remembered by future generations. The Zhu family has such a sage!"

Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet reacted to his words, but King Zhou, who was kneeling there, straightened his back more and more, and in the end, he almost jumped up with joy.

It was as if he could really become what Zhang Yifan described.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw him like this, he was a little angry. He pointed at the two of them and said, "With just the two of you, how can you produce a sage?"

When King Zhou heard this, he replied without hesitation: "Where there is a will, there is a way!"

Empress Ma laughed when she heard this, but she didn't make a sound.

Zhang Yifan then added: "Before my son went to Xiangshan County, my father probably didn't expect that there would be Xiangshan County today, right?"

There is no other way. If you have performance, you will naturally take it out and use it!Otherwise, we can only express our determination palely like King Zhou.

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed obviously when he heard what he said.After a while, his expression softened obviously, he looked at his son and said, "Get up!"

"Hey!" King Zhou immediately agreed when he heard it, then stood up happily, and patted his knee by the way.

It was as if he was already a sage at this time.

Zhu Biao stood next to him, reached out and patted him too, with a smile on his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to pay attention to his son, turned to look at Zhang Yifan and said, "I hope you can give me another Xiangshan Miracle. What do you think?"

Even if Zhang Yifan has already been solicited by Xiangshan County, for someone with Zhu Yuanzhang's experience, you have to come up with something practical before he can make a judgment.Empty talk does not work well with Zhu Yuanzhang.

After Zhang Yifan heard this, he immediately replied: "My son discovered that there is a microcosm around us that is invisible to the naked eye. I was thinking that if we can unravel the veil of this microcosm, it must be epoch-making. Let the fifth younger brother's name go down in history!"

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously: "Is it the virus you mentioned, and what else, and then it requires disinfection and so on?"

The Crown Princess has always insisted on disinfection measures, and the army also boils water for drinking. At least such measures are required.When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhang Yifan mention it, he still curiously confirmed it.

This thing is very mysterious to people of this era.In the past, when Zhang Yifan said it, few people believed it. Only the few people who were close to Zhang Yifan and knew him well would believe it.

Even the issue of boiling water for drinking was only started to be promoted in the army because Lao Si tried it in the army he led and found that diarrhea and the like were indeed reduced a lot.

At this time, Zhang Yifan already had the endorsement of Xiangshan County's results, and his words had more weight. Therefore, even Zhu Yuanzhang came to verify it head-on.

At this time, Zhang Yifan listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's doubts and replied with a smile: "Yes, that's it. Erchen was working on the glass factory, so he was going to use the glass to try to make things that could not be seen with the naked eye. If it's done later, my father can see it with his own eyes."

Zhu Yuanzhang was persuaded by Zhang Yifan, and he changed his view of the fifth child, which can be regarded as getting rid of one of his stubbornness, and he was in a good mood.Therefore, after hearing what he said, he smiled and said: "Then you should make it as soon as possible to see, I really want to see, what kind of thing will it be?" Speaking of this, he remembered something, and reminded Said: "By the way, the thing that can observe the enemy's formation must be made first!"

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan naturally nodded in agreement.

Empress Ma looked at the family in harmony again, and was in a good mood. Looking at Zhang Yifan, she said with emotion, "Yifan, you really know a lot. How did you do it?"

None of her sons or daughters have the ability of this son-in-law. She is really surprised.

After hearing her question, Zhu Biao and others turned to look at Zhang Yifan, with a hint of envy in their eyes.

Zhang Yifan listened and said with a smile: "It's actually very simple, just observe carefully."

"Is it really that simple?" Queen Ma asked in surprise after hearing this, her tone clearly showing disbelief.

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan immediately said with a smile: "Mother, what do you think the land under our feet is like? They say the sky is round and the sky is round, but I think this is wrong!"

When Queen Ma heard this, she immediately became interested, stared at Zhang Yifan and asked, "How do you say it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang and others also looked at Zhang Yifan curiously, wanting to hear his explanation.

It should be obvious at a glance that the sky is round and the place is round, so why is it wrong?
Zhang Yifan saw that they were all looking at him, so he asked with a smile: "My father and mother have been to many places. May I ask you, on the endless plains, or on the big rivers, when you see When someone or a ship comes, do they see the whole at a glance first, or do they see the upper part first, and then slowly see the whole?"

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma both thought about it in their minds, and then they were surprised. They both looked at each other at any time and were really surprised.

Because this truth is obvious. If the sky is really round and the earth is round, then you must either not see it, or you can see it all together.But in fact, this is not the case.

At this moment, Queen Ma said in surprise: "Then what is the ground under our feet like?"

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan didn't answer right away, but looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and asked with a smile, "What does the emperor think?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he shook his head honestly and was not angry because he didn't know.

When Zhang Yifan saw it, he immediately said seriously: "My son wants to make a bet with my father. We live on the same ball!"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he immediately interrupted and said: "How is it possible to live on a ball? When we go to other places, won't we fall down?"

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan immediately turned to look at him and replied: "Because as long as things have weight, they are attracted to each other. This is why things do not fall up, but fall down. Because the balls under our ground Very big, he weighs the most!”

When talking to them, it’s not easy to talk about quality. Simply talk about weight that is easier for them to understand.

Zhu Biao was stunned when he heard it, then shook his head and said: "What you said is very strange, but if you say this is a huge ball under our feet, I don't believe it."

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Father, how about you send a fleet and let them sail eastward to see if they can return to the Ming Dynasty. This will prove that there is a ball under our feet. !”

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You kid, you came up with such a shocking conclusion and still made a bet with me. Could it be that you just want me to send a fleet to do such outrageous things?"

At this time, the Western Age of Discovery had not yet begun, and Magellan, who completed his voyage around the world, would not be born until 100 years later.

Now that he has crossed, Zhang Yifan doesn't want to give Xiyi this honor.

At this time, after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhang Yifan said seriously: "If my father doesn't want to send one, then I will make too much money and summon a fleet like this myself to do this?"

After hearing this, Zhu Biao asked with great interest: "Yifan, why do you want to do this? It's impossible to spend so much effort just to prove that we live on the same ball, right? To do this Things, just money, you don’t know how much it will cost?”

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he turned to look at him and said seriously: "Brother, one of the tricks of my knowledge is to put forward hypotheses and then prove them to be right or wrong. If you want to improve your knowledge, you must constantly use this method Ways to try.”

Zhu Biao didn't expect him to say such a thing, so he was stunned for a moment.

Then Zhang Yifan continued: "In addition, I think every place has its own specialties. This does not need to be explained. Then if the fleet is sent out, if they can sail back, they can also bring back things that our Ming Dynasty does not have. Specialties. Maybe we can eat more delicious food, use more useful things, and learn more useful things in the future, don’t you think?"

Upon hearing this, Queen Ma couldn't help but sigh: "Yifan, does Jing Jing like to eat, so you have this idea? Haha, Jing Jing has really found the right person!"

Zhang Yifan: "..."

He said so much, in fact, he wanted Zhu Yuanzhang to explore overseas, but he didn't expect that Empress Ma would immediately involve Zhu Jingjing.

Can he deny this misunderstanding?

Certainly not!
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang had a smile on his old face and said immediately: "Okay, go back and accompany your wife!"

After finishing speaking, he turned to Queen Ma and explained: "You don't know, I originally wanted this boy to be the governor of Yingtian Mansion, but it turned out that this boy said that Jing Jing was pregnant, and he wanted to take care of Jing Jing, so he shouldn't be the Ying Tian Mansion Yin. Fu Yin!"

Hearing this, Queen Ma was even more satisfied. Looking at Zhang Yifan, her eyes were filled with smiles. The more she looked at this son-in-law, the more she liked him.

It's really a pity that this son-in-law can't separate out several, otherwise, those daughters will all be taken care of.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already issued an order to evict guests, and Zhang Yifan didn't want to stay any longer, so he would go.

King Zhou was also expelled from the palace and left happily with Zhang Yifan.After such an incident, the voice called "brother-in-law" became several times more attentive, as if he wanted everyone in the world to know that Zhang Yifan was his brother-in-law.

Within two days, King Yan returned to the capital to celebrate the New Year, and brought his daughter-in-law to the door again.

As soon as he saw Zhang Yifan, Zhu Di deliberately handed the little fat boy in his arms to his wife, then spread his arms and shouted loudly: "Good brother-in-law, long time no see!"

When Zhang Yifan saw him, without saying a word, he immediately took out Zhu Wu's waist knife from behind him, weighed it in his hand and said, "If you have the ability, come and give me a hug?"

When Zhu Di saw it, he burst into laughter and said, "Yifan, believe it or not, even if you have a sword, you are no match for me!"

When Princess Yan saw it, she smiled and said that the two of them, a vassal king and a consort, were not in good shape.

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan threw the knife back to Zhu Wu who was already sweating, and said angrily: "For the sake of my fourth sister-in-law, I won't argue with you!"

Zhu Di didn't care, and laughed with his mouth open.

After entering the room and sitting down, he also said to Zhang Yifan: "How about it? When will you go to the army to exercise? Why don't you come with me and I will protect you? Don't worry!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhu Jingjing and said, "Look at him, he has thin arms and legs, so he should exercise well, right?"

After hearing this, Zhu Jingjing turned to look at Zhang Yifan and said, "Brother Fan, why don't you take back the shares? I don't think Fourth Brother wants it!"

"Don't, don't!" When Zhu Di heard this, he quickly laughed and said, "God of Wealth, others don't know, but I know."

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan snorted and said: "It's good to know that I am the God of Wealth. Next year, I will stay here and not go anywhere. I will make a cornucopia for you to see."

However, he never asked God if he would agree!
