Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 277 The scholar was upset because Zhu Biao asked why the Kong family had no moral integrity!
Zhang Cheng was not surprised to see Zhu Yuanzhang looking so unhappy.

After all, everyone will be angry at being looked down upon by others, let alone Zhu Yuanzhang who has become the King of Wu.

"Pass the message, let Kong Xixue come to see us!"

Zhu Yuanzhang then gave these instructions in a deep voice to Zhou Zong, the man on duty.

Zhou Zong said yes and glanced at Zhang Cheng before leaving.

Zhang Cheng didn't know what Zhou Zongguo meant when he looked at him.

But he didn't stop Zhou Zong from asking more questions.

He knew that if he forcibly called out Zhou Zong, Zhou Zong would definitely not tell the truth.

In any case, Zhang Cheng believes that the person who can be responsible for Zhu Yuanzhang's personal safety and convey orders by Zhu Yuanzhang's side must be someone Zhu Yuanzhang can trust.

Because these people are either Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted sons or adopted nephews.

Many young and old people who still respect Confucianism and hope to restore the old system of the Yuan Dynasty are quite worried that Kong Kejian will anger Zhu Yuanzhang.

"I really couldn't answer at that time!"

These adopted sons and nephews were all orphans selected from the nursing home. They had received Datong education since childhood and were raised by people from Datong Society. They should know how much kindness Datong Society had given them.

At this time, Li Shanchang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, came.

"Mr. Zhang's purpose is to seek truth from facts and tell the history to the prince, so as to prevent the prince from misunderstanding the true situation of China in the future, and then have the idea of ​​abolishing the idea of ​​​​Datong and restoring the old system!"

Speaking of it.

"At this time, as a scholar, shouldn't I be respectful to His Holiness?"

Tao An immediately frowned and squeezed his striped face together:
"Mr. Zhang, why are you mentioning this?"

Seeing this, Zhang Zhong and Tao An hurriedly stood up and saluted Li Shanchang.

Zhang Zhong sighed and picked up the tea with a helpless expression.

"Why do you think Yan Shenggong should be like this? If the superiors really feel that the Kong family despises him for being a commoner, then wouldn't it force the superiors to get angry and ignore the law and forcibly issue an order to ban the officers and generals stationed in Shandong? Kill the entire Kong family?"

Zhang Zhong nodded and said: "This Duke Yan Sheng is indeed confused!"

Zhang Zhong couldn't help but said: "My lord may not know that because of Mr. Zhang, the prince also knew about the surrender of the Kong family. He also asked me to talk about the detailed history of the surrender of the Kong family that Mr. Zhang mentioned. Ask me why the Confucius family of Beizong refused to uphold integrity and loyalty when they offered money and Yuan, and they were not even willing to flee south. "

Tao An, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, spoke to Zhang Zhong, who was also a member of the Hanlin Academy, with a worried look on his face.

Kong Ke insisted that the fact that he was ill and not going to court also affected the hearts of many civil servants in Datong Society.

"Scholar Tao asks this because he doesn't understand Mr. Zhang's meaning."

Let’s talk.

The Hanlin Academy of Datong Society is still a subordinate agency of the cabinet. It was Zhang Cheng who considered that Datong Society also needed a social science research institution to provide social science information support to the rulers when deciding on government affairs, and asked Zhu Yuanzhang for his consent. an institution established.

Just because Zhu Biao gradually needed enlightenment in reading, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy to take charge of Zhu Biao's enlightenment education first, and when Zhu Biao was older, he would think about how to train Zhu Biao and how to establish an education system for nobles. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang is very busy now, busy with the Northern Expedition, so many things can only be put aside first.

Since the Hanlin Academy is now only a subordinate agency of the cabinet, Li Shanchang naturally has the power to manage the Hanlin Academy.

Because the Hanlin Academy was temporarily responsible for Zhu Biao's education, Li Shanchang often came to the Hanlin Academy in an attempt to get to know Zhu Biao through the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy.

As a person who cares about power, Li Shanchang is naturally very concerned about what kind of person Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son Zhu Biao is, whether he has the talent to be the king of the world, and what his personality is like.

Li Shanchang came to the Hanlin Academy on this day after finishing his work. Just because he heard Tao An and Zhang Zhong from the Hanlin Academy talking about Confucius and Zhu Biao, he hid outside and listened for a while. , and then walked in.

After Zhang Zhong and Tao An saluted him, Li Shanchang sat on the chair and said, "From my perspective, you guys in the Hanlin Academy are still too idle, otherwise you wouldn't have anything to blame Mr. Zhang behind his back."

"Can you blame Mr. Zhang?!"

Snapped!
Li Shanchang suddenly took pictures of several cases and asked the two of them sharply.

Zhang Zhong and Tao An both lowered their heads.

Li Shanchang began to say sincerely: "Mr. Zhang is a great contributor to the creation of our Datong Society, a beacon that points our way in the dark night, and a sage who saves the common people in the world. How come it is your turn to criticize?"

"Datong Society and the people of the world have not given us such power to criticize Mr. Zhang!"

Li Shanchang emphasized again in a stern tone, then looked at the two of them again and said sincerely:
"If you don't understand many of Mr. Zhang's decisions, you can come and ask me. How can you be so self-righteous as to criticize Mr. Zhang?"

"Besides, it should have been your Imperial Academy's duty to explain the situation of the Confucius family to the Crown Prince in a matter-of-fact manner, but now you need Mr. Zhang to fulfill this duty for you. Don't you feel guilty?"

When Li Shanchang said this, both Zhang Zhong and Tao An gritted their teeth.

Li Shanchang softened his tone at this time and said:
"I know that you don't want to see the superiors and princes become aroused by knowing the truth about the Kong family, and even go so far as to destroy the entire Kong family and get the name of Ku Lie."

"However, you might as well think about it carefully. Since you are all so worried, why doesn't Duke Yan Sheng have this worry?"

"What does this mean? It means that Duke Yansheng just wants to see if our superior is a person who can restrain his own anger!"

Li Shanchang continued.

After Li Shanchang said this, both Zhang Zhong and Tao An's eyes lit up, they looked at each other, and then bowed to Li Shanchang.

Zhang Zhongxian said: "What Yuan Fu blames is that we are indeed too worried. We should not doubt the superiors and Mr. Zhang, but the same as Yan Shenggong!"

Tao An also said: "Yuan Fu is still wise, and he can see through the three senses at a glance, which makes us feel relieved and understand our own stupidity."

The two of them had understood through Li Shanchang's words that Li Shanchang, like themselves, also hoped that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Cheng would abandon the concept of Datong. Otherwise, they would not praise Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Cheng both inside and outside the conversation, and remind themselves that Kong Kejian is I want to see if Zhu Yuanzhang is a person who can endure his personal anger, and whether he will give up the idea of ​​Datong because of his personal anger, kill people wantonly, and then have to re-advocate the Confucian "Destiny Theory" and restore the old system of the Yuan Dynasty.

Therefore, both of them now flattered Li Shanchang respectfully.

Li Shanchang nodded and smiled: "I wish you could understand."

Zhang Zhong said at this time: "In this case, we should ask Mr. Zhang to persuade the superior."

Tao An also said to Li Shanchang: "Yes, Yuan Fu, the superiors have always only listened to Mr. Zhang. Whether Yan Sheng Gui will be punished, now it depends on Mr. Zhang."
