People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 167 Human Blood Steamed Buns, Should I Be the Blame?
Two days passed since the news that Confucius was in critical condition.

Zhang Yi wanted to go to the Confucian residence to see Kong Na, but every time he came to the Confucian residence, the scene of heavy traffic at the door dispelled Zhang Yi's thoughts and turned back.

Although he had promoted some things, he didn't want to expose himself to the eyes of those officials.

As for the plan that he had just promoted but was interrupted because of Kong Kejian's serious illness, he didn't care.

Anyway, the time is still long, as long as he is still alive, he is not afraid that he will not be able to wait for the opportunity.

Lao Zhu is a short-tempered person, and the progress of the project on Jiming Mountain is also a bit fast.

The news about the complete relocation of Guozixue has gradually become a reality, and even some people have begun to pass by.

The price of being busy is that Guozixue's classes have become unstable.

This is just right for Zhang Yi, a sneaky person like him.

Kong Na was not there, he was spanking and chatting with other students in Guozixue, and he even took some specialties from his fellow villagers to eat.

In Guozixue, it is inevitable that someone will talk about Kong Na and the Kong family.

All kinds of gossip and rumors are flying everywhere.

What everyone is most concerned about is probably whether the "Confucius's Suanjing" was published by the Confucian family.

Kong Muyan's pen name has long been guessed.

Some people say that the Sutra is the painstaking work of Mr. Confucius, probably because of this, the old man can't afford to get sick after finishing the Sutra!

As scholars, as long as the Kong family does not end up fighting with them for jobs, the Kong family still has a halo in their hearts.

This was different from how they treated Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi had been with them for a long time, and they even forgot their identity as a Taoist priest.

This is probably because the aura of the Confucian family in the hearts of scholars is far more important than that of Longhushan!
Zhang Yi found it interesting to observe this phenomenon.

Although later generations have become accustomed to the difference between Hua and Yi, most people agree that Kong Kejian's behavior is a traitor.

But in the eyes of scholars in this era, they understand or sympathize with Kong Kejian.

Everyone has a standpoint. From the perspective of Zhang Yi, a modern person, it is the lack of [education] in this era.

This further highlights the importance of the appearance of the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

"If "Confucius Mathematical Classics" is named under the name of Kong Kejian, I'm afraid there will be another wave of sales after his death..."

Zhang Yi thought about it, but he also thought about whether he should give Kong Kejian a hand.

Compassion is out of the question, he mainly wants to try medicine...

After all, it is Lao Zhu's job to test the medicine. Lao Zhu knows the effect of allicin, but he doesn't know much.

But think about it or forget it, it would be too much trouble to save Kong Kejian.
Seeing that everyone was chatting in full swing, he was about to leave.

But he saw from afar that the children of those aristocratic families were staring at him?

Chang Mao was an old acquaintance, and Zhu Yu himself knew them, and there were some others who were probably children of heroes, but he had never heard of them.

Zhang Yi originally thought that these people would come to trouble him, but in fact, Chang Mao behaved very well these days.

He probably knew why, just because the emperor stared at their grades every day, these people were tortured by the exam and were about to cry.

It’s okay for others to fail the exam. They have to face sticks from the palace from time to time.

The style of the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang is that he takes care of both major and minor matters.

In addition to working more than ten hours a day, he still has to catch up on the educational progress of the children of heroes from time to time.

With the help of the emperor to torture these people, Zhang Yi was naturally clean.

It's just that when Zhang Yi was strolling around, Chang Mao and others looked at him, seeming to mean something, Zhang Yi felt baffled, what the hell are these guys doing?
When he went out, he bumped into Xu Cunren who came back from outside.

"Are you playing truant again?"

Mr. Xu had a straight face, while Zhang Yi laughed.

Can dismissing school early be called escaping?

Mr. Xu insulted people.

"But it's okay, you don't have to come to Guozi to study recently, it's better to avoid the limelight!"

"how?"

Xu Cunren will not be able to do it for Zhang Yizheng. Usually he plays truant, and his husband wants to bring him back to class, but now he takes the initiative to let him take leave?

Zhang Yi recalled the eyes of Chang Mao and others, as if he understood that something bad had happened to him.

"Did you treat Mr. Kong?"

"Um……"

Zhang Yi nodded. If there was a possibility of concealing the matter of being in the Taoist temple at the beginning, he would not be able to conceal the matter of going in and out of the Confucian Mansion later.

"You come with me!"

Xu Cunren brought Zhang Yi back and took him to the small courtyard where he always lived.

After closing the door, Mr. Xu said:
"Recently, there are a lot of people going to Confucian Mansion. Everyone wants to take advantage of the time when the emperor forgives the Confucian family, and go to Confucian Mansion to find a sense of existence..."

With disdain on his face, Lao Xu drew a conclusion on Yingtian's recent behavior in the officialdom.

Zhang Yi chuckled, agreeing with Mr. Xu's point of view.

Eight out of ten people who went to the Kong family probably went there for the sake of presence, just as Mr. said.

They may not be interested in the Confucian family, but the status of the Confucian family is placed there, and it does not need to invest much to show that they respect the descendants of the Confucian family.

Especially after the two adults Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen took the lead,

They don't need to have psychological pressure.

At the beginning, only some people may want to go, but when most people go, it will be different if they don't go.

It's just that there are too many people going, and moths will appear sooner or later.

Among them, there is a group of people who are too concerned about Yan Shenggong's situation and focus the problem on the imperial physician.

This kind of person who is full and has nothing to do is called Yanguan, who is famous for finding fault.

So, the report about the imperial physician's poor care of Mr. Kong flew to the palace like a snowflake.

Everyone is well aware of the current situation in the Confucian Mansion. Isn't the one in the deep palace the one who started it?
But this kind of thing can't be said clearly. These people are scolding the emperor in the name of scolding the imperial physician.

Lao Zhu was naturally well aware of this matter. Although he had an extreme personality, he was not really small-minded, and he did not have any people from the city.

He can settle accounts with you for other matters, but the emperor sneered at this kind of accusation and didn't take it seriously.

Wanting the emperor to be furious, and then hit the board, complete the KPI of his career, and earn a reputation as a loyal minister, this is the old routine of the officials!

If you pretend to be stupid, the emperor will also pretend to be stupid. The comparison between the monarch and his ministers is who has thick skin.

So a situation where only the imperial physician was injured was immediately achieved.

The imperial physicians were under tremendous pressure and wanted to quit, but the emperor did not allow it.

The miserable imperial physicians couldn't bear the pressure, and began to blame others...

"So, this pot is dumped on my head?"

Zhang Yi listened to Xu Cunren's eloquence, with a depressed expression on his face, what's going on with Te Niang?

Other people are sitting at home, and a huge pot is falling from the sky, so let people live?

Zhang Yi himself also became nervous, mother, this is very likely to be fatal!

No wonder Xu Cunren asked him to go back to avoid the limelight.

Xu Cunren nodded, and continued to tell Zhang Yi what happened in the past few days.

Probably, the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital couldn't bear the pressure, so they blamed Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi's use of sleep techniques to treat Kong Kejian's illness was naturally revealed.

His so-called healing methods are not the methods that a decent person should use.
Therefore, this matter has room for hype and fermentation,

This matter is usually nothing to do, but once someone with a heart goes online, someone has already led it towards a nature similar to the chaos of witches and voodoo, and deceiving the public with demonic words.

To be honest, Zhang Yi was a little nervous.

Such things as deceiving people with gossip can be a big or small thing at any time, especially when it comes to Zhu Yuanzhang, no one dares to say that they are all right.

Who is Zhu Yuanzhang? He is moody!

He can trust you infinitely, or doubt you in a blink of an eye!
Unless you are a family member of his blood lineage, no one is worth it.

Don't look at Longhushan's sacred family now, but don't have any idea of ​​resting on your laurels.

The emperor used the Zhang family because the Zhang family was useful and obedient, and would not cause trouble.

But if something really creates public opinion, it is also a disaster.

Zhang Yi calmly listened to Xu Cunren's ins and outs, and the anger in his heart was uncontrollable.

He thought he was low-key enough, but once the political vortex rolled up, he would inevitably be involved.

The words and deeds of those censors were blatantly blaming themselves and Longhushan.

What they really accused was the emperor himself.

However, the risk they have to take may be just a few reprimands from the emperor, or a few boards.

But if it falls on Longhushan or a "commoner" like himself, it is very likely to be a disaster of killing.

"However, in order to gain fame and reputation, you have to use the poor family's wealth and life to gamble their future. It's very good..."

Zhang Yi smiled calmly, but did not show any anger.

Xu Cunren looked at this disciple who was not a disciple with some concern. He had been with Zhang Yi for a while, but he knew the devilish nature of this kid.

Moreover, this kid also has enough courage and ability to set off a storm.

"Don't mess around, listen to the old man, I will grant you a sick leave, just go to the Taoist temple to stay...

In fact, now that I think about letting your son stay in Guozi Academy, it may not be a blessing!
You are number one in mathematics every time you are in Guozixue, and some people have a lot of opinions..."

"It's just such a small matter, is it worth their shot?"

Faced with someone he trusted, Zhang Yi still couldn't help but complain a little.

"The muddy water in the court is already very deep. When there are no conflicts of interest, everyone, hello and me!

But once there is an interest dispute, a small mistake can be magnified infinitely!

Didn't you see what happened to the old man with your own eyes? "

Xu Cunren was also emotional when he thought of the situation where he was isolated a while ago because he was admitted to the imperial examination for mathematics.

As the sacrificial wine of Guozixue, he is far enough away from the center of power, but once other people's interests are affected, those old brothers on weekdays would like him to die.

Zhang Yi's situation is somewhat different from his, but essentially the same.

Some people needed him to be a target, and his own situation didn't really matter.

"Master Liu is behind this matter?"

After Zhang Yi had an idea, he began to ask for details.

Most of the officials are under the control of Liu Bowen. If this old guy takes action against him, he will be in big trouble.

No matter how confident he was, he dared not say that he could wrestle with that famous official.

"You think too highly of yourself, you still can't get into the eyes of Lao Liu, this matter is not promoted by any senior officials, if you push, you will not be what you are today!

Well, how should I put it, although Liu Ji is in charge of Yushitai, but not all Yushitai belongs to him, do you understand?

Moreover, even those who belong to the Eastern Zhejiang School are not everyone, everyone else has to follow Liu Ji in every matter!
Moreover, this matter has been brewed, and it is not only people from the Eastern Zhejiang faction who took action, how can I put it, there are some people in the court, who have been displeased with you for a long time..."

"mom*!"

What Xu Cunren said is a truth, and Zhang Yi also understands it.

Even if it is the Zhedong faction, everyone gathers together to form a group, after all, it is for the benefit.

But in a faction, there are big interests that keep everyone united, and there are small interests that compete with each other.

In the eyes of the senior officials in the court, Zhang Yi's incident was a trivial matter, and they might not even raise their eyelids.

But for some teammates, it is a good opportunity to gain a sense of presence.

This kind of matter does not involve the fundamental interests of the faction, and the officials who are dissatisfied with Longhushan do not involve East Zhejiang or Huaixi.
Even the person who provoked this incident may not have a bad impression of Zhang Yi.

It's just that Zhang Yi is useful, so they can use it as a pawn, that's all.

But the people who are being used have to spend their wealth and life to accompany them, and they cannot help themselves.

"Co-author, am I being eaten by those grown-ups as a blood bun?"

Zhang Yi grinned: "Are these grown-ups forcing the poor Taoist to become a demon?"

Xu Cunren hurriedly said:

"Don't be pessimistic, there is a high probability that things will not happen!

You avoid the limelight first, I will go to Liu Ji later and ask him to mediate...

Moreover, regarding the nature of this matter, not to mention whether the emperor cared, even if he cared, he had to ask the Kong family for their opinions!
You know whose side that Kongne child is on! "

Zhang Yi nodded silently, he is not a radical person, as long as things don't provoke him, he will avoid the limelight.

The sewage in the court hall was dirtier than he imagined.

Seeing that he agreed, Xu Cunren comforted him, and Zhang Yi turned and went out.

After going out, he saw Chang Mao and the others from a distance, and Zhang Yi understood the sarcasm on their faces.

He didn't mind either, and left on his own.

After Xu Cunren waited for Zhang Yi to leave, he went out to look for Liu Bowen as soon as possible.

When Liu Bowen came down, he was already sitting in the side hall waiting.

"You are here for that child!"

Before Liu Bowen waited for Xu Cunren to speak, he had already explained the situation straight to the point.

Xu Cunren nodded silently, and Liu Bowen smiled.

"You want me to mediate this matter? In fact, you are just worrying about it. The child's contribution is unknown to others. Is the emperor not sure yet?
He has his worth, so he'll be fine! "

Xu Cunren heard the words and said:

"I understand what you said, but you are not ignorant of the turbulence in the court, sometimes a small matter will be fueled by others and become a big event!
Even if the emperor wanted to protect him, he would be coerced by public opinion and had to do something against his will! "

Liu Bowen was silent, Xu Cunren's worries were not unreasonable.

Everyone who is in the officialdom naturally understands that the kind of action that takes advantage of a small matter to ferment, and then uses the name of righteousness to force the emperor,
Any official is familiar with the road.

The last time a hundred officials forced the palace, it was an attempt they made, but the officials were defeated.

But as long as the scholars and the king share the world, the courtiers will always use various means to test the king's bottom line and seize power.

The king will also do everything possible to weaken the prime minister's power.

Zhang Yi is just a chess piece, no one cares what a chess piece thinks?
"Are you afraid that his other things will be dug out by those people?"

Liu Bowen said what Xu Cunren was worried about.
