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

Chapter 67 Pig Liver Color (Additional update during Spring Festival)

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood was obviously a little different from that of his son.

Although, if someone could give it to him, such as the Heshi Bi, he would definitely be very happy, and he would definitely treat it as a national treasure.

However, at the scene in front of him, seeing Zhang Yifan, a country boy, pointing at the civil servant's nose and scolding so hard, he was trembling with anger. For some reason, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little refreshed in his heart!
These civil servants have been angry with him and attacked him in secret. Although he has the power of life and death, it is really impossible for the civil servants to be so angry!At most, it would make the civil servants tremble with fear rather than with anger.

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang became more curious about Zhang Yifan.Seeing that he has no stage fright at all and speaks sharply, this obviously does not fit the impression of a country boy!
This boy is not simple!

Thinking like this, he also wanted to hear what this country boy could say next to overturn the common belief that He's Bi is a national treasure?

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was outside the world, smiling and watching the fight below, and he was in a rare good mood!

At this time, the other civil servants and generals had come to their senses.The generals are okay, but the civil servants are all pissed off.

However, those who were in the upper echelons of the city were sullen and silent, while those who were in the lower echelons of the city, or the civil servants who wanted to take this opportunity to express themselves, jumped out one by one and besieged Zhang Yifan.

"You little boy, you're talking nonsense, do you know what you're talking about?"

"The He's Bi is a recognized national treasure, but you have reduced it to nothing, and only your cement is good? It is simply arrogant!"

"I don't know etiquette, I don't know etiquette, I deserve to be killed!"

"Yes, he deserves to be killed and quartered!"

"If you chop him alive, it will be an advantage to him, so he shouldn't have been born!"

"..."

Faced with the siege of a group of civil servants, Zhang Yifan was secretly happy.Because he had analyzed that in the Hongwu Dynasty, he absolutely could not get along with civilian officials and military generals.If you have a good relationship with them, then if you show your talents and become more popular in the future, you may be jealous of Zhu Yuanzhang.

According to Zhang Yifan's own analysis, why Li Shanchang did not die well is related to his good relationship with civilian officials and military generals.

At Li Shanchang's position, Zhu Yuanzhang had to be wary. Even if Li Shanchang himself had no objections, he had the support of many civil servants and military generals. What if the yellow robe was added to his body?
This suspicion will become more serious after Zhu Biao's death.

According to these analyses, Zhang Yifan had originally planned his appearance, starting from the verbal battle with the Confucian scholars. Now he saw that these civil servants were besieging him and echoed his expectations.

No, I saw that he was not afraid at all, and he couldn't feel the cold. He just pointed at the group of civil servants and said loudly: "Okay, then let me ask you whether He's Bi can be eaten or drunk, or whether it is Can it be used? How useful is it? How much contribution does it make to the emperor and the country? Come on, let’s talk about it!”

"..." Hearing Zhang Yifan's rhetorical question, the people who had been attacking in a chaotic manner suddenly became quiet.

Can a national treasure be defined in this way?The reason why it is a national treasure is that it should be rare!
However, these questions from Zhang Yifan could not be answered directly in front of the public.Because from a rational point of view, a useless thing, no matter how rare it is, can’t be considered a treasure, right?

The silence in the main hall, especially compared with the noise during the previous siege of Zhang Yifan, was a bit eye-catching and a bit slap in the face of the civil servants.

Every time you have a little more peace, you have a little more time to slap your face!
Embarrassing or not?
Others may be okay, those civil servants who besieged Zhang Yifan are absolutely embarrassing!
Zhu Yuanzhang felt happy when he saw this scene.

To do a good job, someone must be able to control these civil servants.Normally, they seem to be the only ones who are knowledgeable, but now it’s better, are they slapped in the face?

However, there are some smart people after all, and they are naturally dissatisfied when they see Zhang Yifan being in the limelight.

No, Prime Minister Hu Weiyong stood up and shouted coldly: "The reason why He's Bi is a national treasure is that whoever owns He's Bi is the destiny of heaven! I'm sorry you don't understand the meaning of this!"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not get the imperial seal engraved by He Shibi.If someone offered this at this time, he would definitely be overjoyed and reward him heavily as a national treasure.There is no other reason, because he possesses the jade seal engraved by He Shibi, which shows that he is destined by destiny and endorses his imperial power!
He would definitely give affirmation to this kind of thing.

When the civil servants heard Hu Weiyong's words, they immediately came to their senses and echoed one after another, as if they wanted to make things right and save the face they had just lost.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang nodded secretly after hearing this.

I have to say that Hu Weiyong is indeed qualified to be prime minister.This is why even though Zhu Yuanzhang was dissatisfied with his marriage to the Li family, he still wanted to use him.

However, Zhang Yifan sneered and immediately retorted: "In that case, let me ask you, how many emperors have owned the Heshi Bi in the past? Are they all destined by destiny?"

After a pause, he didn't wait for Hu Weiyong to answer, and then shouted coldly: "Destiny is the human heart, not a stone. If you don't understand this, why do you have the nerve to be an official of the Ming Dynasty? You will only harm the country and the people!" "

As soon as he said these words, it was like an arrow from the string, hitting Hu Weiyong directly in the heart, so that his face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.

He has always had smooth sailing, especially when he became the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. He was the leader of one person and more than ten thousand people. He was highly sought after by everyone and was in the limelight.

I thought that this country boy was so arrogant in the hall, so I just said that treating him would make him, the leader of hundreds of officials, more popular among the people.

Unexpectedly, when he explained the reason that everyone knew and his destiny, he was suddenly slapped in the mouth by this country boy, and he was unable to reply.

If this matter really needs to be debated, Hu Weiyong will not speak so easily when facing an opponent like Li Shanchang.Unexpectedly, a country boy with such a quick mind could make one mistake and become an eternal regret!
Before the jade seal engraved by He Shibi was lost, it had been owned by many conquered kings.As long as we discuss this matter calmly, it is not impossible for Confucians to come to the conclusion that destiny is the human heart.

Therefore, in this hall, Hu Weiyong could not refute for a while, and neither could other officials.In the main hall, it became quiet again.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang perked up after hearing this.If Zhang Yifan was so angry with Yang Wenyu before, it just made his eyes shine, but seeing him refute Hu Weiyong this time, and realizing that destiny is the principle of human heart, made him pay more attention to Zhang Yifan.
