111 I'm embarrassed to be a guest at King Yan's Mansion (second shift)
As a traveler, I know the development of human history and understand that if the Ming Dynasty adopts the hereditary system, it will be detrimental to the development of the whole society.
Although it is said that he and several generations of children and grandchildren can enjoy happiness, there are still foreign countries in this world.
Under the hereditary system, it is easy to decay, and then whether it is a hereditary family or not, all will suffer.
The Ming Dynasty had more than 270 years of luck, and the most important thing was that Zhu Yuanzhang formulated a real imperial examination system to ensure that Ming officials could be born from the broadest strata.
However, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, especially the establishment of the Fushe during the Chongzhen period, through the alliance of officials and eunuchs, they monopolized the lowest level of Xiucai in the imperial examination, which dealt a fatal blow to the imperial examination, thus giving the Ming Dynasty, which was seriously ill, the final blow.
Not to mention, this world is not only the Ming Dynasty, but also the surrounding countries, and even those countries far away in the West.
If the descendants do not work hard, even the hereditary title will be defeated; It is better to teach them knowledge, so that it is the foundation of life and life for generations.
Therefore, Zhang Yifan wanted to change the hereditary system of the Ming Dynasty, including the hereditary title and professional hereditary. However, it is very difficult for the feudal dynasty to change this, at least until it has the absolute right to speak, and it is not possible to reveal any of the meaning of this aspect to anyone.
At least the hereditary title is definitely not good, but the professional hereditary can still work hard first. At this time, I saw Zhang Yifan playing to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, if you succeed, the sons don't want the hereditary title, and the sons want another reward!" As soon as he heard this, the ministers in the Wuying Hall couldn't help but look at him like fools, don't you want a hereditary title?
How many people dream of it? They soon remembered that the colt was actually an orphan, and he was only sixteen years old, so he probably didn't know the hereditary title, right?
At the same time, they are also curious, if they don't want a hereditary title, then what does he want? What is it that makes him feel more important than a hereditary title?
After Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, he was also a little curious, so he asked, "Then what do you want?" ”
"Father, the son wants 50,000 yuan!" Zhang Yifan listened to it and immediately replied. As soon as he said this, all of a sudden, in the Wuying Palace, even in front of the emperor, was stunned
With a "buzz", many civil and military officials couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
"Is this stupid? It turned out to be 50,000 yuan? ”
"How ignorant is this to ask for money?"
"Although 50,000 is indeed a lot, can it be compared with a hereditary title?"
"Fool, this is a colt!"
"It turned out to be a colt in the eyes of money!"
"......" Even the crown prince Zhu Biao was anxious for his eldest sister, and couldn't help but remind in a low voice: "You can think about it, the opportunity is rare!" Zhu Yuanzhang was also surprised, stared at Zhang Yifan and asked: "You should be worry-free now, don't want a hereditary title?" Have you figured it out? ”
"Erchen is short of money!" Zhang Yifan listened and replied seriously,
"Erchen wants money, 50,000 yuan!" When those civil and military officials heard this, they all shook their heads, this colt really has to lose money, and there is no help!
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unhappy when he heard this, how could this son-in-law be so shallow that he couldn't tell the difference between the importance of 50,000 yuan and the hereditary title?
Thinking so in his heart, he asked with a cold face, "What money do you lack?" Zhu Yuanzhang really can't think of what money his son-in-law lacks?
The couple has a lot of money, enough to use, right? When Zhang Yifan heard this, he immediately replied: "His Royal Highness King Yan told the five hundred soldiers who participated in the competition that as long as they can win the competition, he will reward each of them with one hundred yuan. I asked him where he got all that money? He said that he should have enough money to take out all the money, as well as the princess's dowry......" Everyone was taken aback when they heard this.
They didn't expect that King Yan would attach so much importance to this competition, this is gambling with all his belongings, and he will let it go!
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Nonsense! However, in his heart, he was still a little happy.
This way of doing things, he admires. Zhang Yifan, on his side, continued to say: "...... His Royal Highness King Yan said that I just got married, and I can't come up with a few dollars, so I don't need to make it up. But I think I also have a part in this competition. King Yan is my fourth brother, he takes care of me so much, no matter what, if I don't contribute, am I still his brother-in-law? So, I don't want a hereditary title, I want 50,000 yuan, I ...... Erchen came out for His Royal Highness King Yan, and Erchen didn't want to see King Yan's Mansion so poor that it clanged! After he said this, the Wuying Hall suddenly became very quiet, and no one laughed at this horse captain for falling into the eyes of money.
Think about it, too, who doesn't know the preciousness of hereditary titles? As long as this Zhang Yifan is a human, he must know it, right?
However, in the eyes of Zhang Yifan, the hereditary title is no more than one
The word "righteousness". In his eyes, family affection is far more precious than hereditary titles, so he didn't want hereditary titles and chose money!
This kind of pair of horses
The importance of "righteousness" and the importance of family affection, how many people in the world can compare? If it was his relative, he must be lucky, right?
Even Zhu Yuanzhang was completely devoid of coldness, and his face was relieved, this son-in-law is really good, really good!
At this time, he remembered everything Zhang Yifan had done to Liujia Village. From that time, you can see that he has a grateful heart!
It's not an accident that it's doing this now! Then, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of himself again, he can also be said to be an orphan, so he became the founding emperor, and after he developed, he attached great importance to family affection.
This son-in-law has a very good appetite, it's really good! Thinking so in his heart, while he was happy, he still didn't show it, but just asked Zhang Yifan: "Okay, since you ask for it yourself, then this smallpox plague is really done, and I will reward you with 50,000 yuan!" ”
"Thank you, father!" When Zhang Yifan heard this, he didn't regret it at all, but said happily,
"In this way, I am embarrassed to go to Yanwang's Mansion as a guest!"
"......" Zhu Yuanzhang and the others couldn't help but be speechless when they heard it. However, they can all hear the family affection in Zhang Yifan's words.
The civil and military officials in the Wuying Palace, except for a very few, no longer meant to laugh at this horse captain in their hearts.
When there is a resolution in the court, the corresponding things are immediately implemented. Others didn't understand, so under the auspices of Zhang Yifan, the Tai Hospital cooperated, and the Criminal Department cooperated, preparing to verify whether the smallpox plague could be cured as Zhang Yifan said.
It can be said that as the news spread, the eyes of everyone in the Jingshi were all focused on this matter.
Intellectually, they did not believe that the inexplicable plague of smallpox could suddenly be cured. But, emotionally, they wanted it to be true, and smallpox could really be cured.
Ambivalence makes them very entangled. I really wanted to go to the site, but I was afraid of smallpox.
In the end, the Taoist temples and temples in Jingshi suddenly became crowded. Originally, under the leadership of Zhu Yuanzhang, people in the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty believed in Buddhism and Taoism very much, and this time, it was even more lively.
"Bodhisattva bless, the method of the horse is really useful!"
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable bless, the horse can do it!"
Most of the "......" prayers are similar, with horses and smallpox being the key words. One, two...... So many people are about the same.
This situation attracted the attention of a monk. This monk, unlike other monks, is also very proficient in Confucianism, went to the yamen set up by the imperial court for an interview, and became a monk who ate the imperial court.
If it was the original history, during this time period, he had just been practicing stealthily and deepening the cultivation of Buddhist and Confucian doctrines.
But now, he was alarmed. In fact, as the news spread more and more, more people who didn't care about gossip were alarmed.
After all, the smallpox plague is no more than ordinary news. There were even some brave ones who were just outside the city, looking at the place of martial law from afar.
"It's coming, it's coming, the prisoners from the Criminal Department are here!" As someone shouted, I saw five prisoner carts on the official road out of the city, holding five death row prisoners, heading for martial law.
The sergeants on the outer floor, all of them were somewhat sympathetic to the five prisoners. As soon as the prisoners were handed over, those people from the yamen of the criminal department hurried away as if they were fleeing for their lives.
And these death row prisoners were also as pale as dirt, numb to the mercy of those soldiers, and even one of them was unwilling to leave, and was dragged into the inner circle by the sergeant.
These sergeants, tremblingly, made a handover to the soldiers in the inner circle, sent the prisoners in, and then fled back to the outer circle as quickly as they could.
For them, they are not afraid of fighting on the battlefield, but they are afraid of the plague. If you understand what the plague is all about, you probably won't be afraid.
However, they do not know what the plague is like, and under word of mouth, they often exaggerate the horror of the plague, so that everyone is afraid, and it is not false.
In the midst of such an atmosphere, another group of knights appeared at the city gate. When someone saw it, they immediately exclaimed: "Look, the captain of the horse is here!" These words made everyone cheer up at once, and they all turned their heads to look at each other, thinking in their hearts, such a big man as the Captain of the Horse is really coming!
Sure enough, in this team of knights, Zhang Yifan sat on the back of the horse and drove the horse forward easily. Behind him, there was also a eunuch, looking at the costumes, the level was not low, and there were also three imperial doctors from the Tai Hospital.
and Zhu Wu and other guards. These people are very interesting, except for Zhang Yifan, who looks at ease, the others are either trembling or looking at death as if they were home.
Obviously, although Zhang Yifan comforted them, they definitely did not have Zhang Yifan's confidence.
Zhang Yifan saw the martial law place in the distance, and was about to take the reins to lead the horse's head over, when suddenly, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him.
