Chapter 18: My Secret, Zhu Yuanzhang's Murderous Intent

Zhang Yi was shocked, Comrade Zhang, is this a change of sex?

What kind of person his father is, he still doesn't know? Although Zhang is normal in Zhang Yi's cognition, he is generally a good person.

But to say that Comrade Lao Zhang is an honest man would be too insulting to his IQ.

He still wanted to say a few more words, but Lao Zhang waved his hand:

"You don't need to say it, after your father goes back, he will take the initiative to tell the emperor and control the power of Longhu Mountain!"

He was upright, but his heart was dripping blood, Zhang Normal only felt hateful when he looked at Zhang Yi again, this dead child, how much benefit did he lose in one sentence?

If Zhang Yi said it yesterday, he would probably go back and quietly execute it, but now not only does he dare not do it, but maybe he will take the initiative to write to the emperor to reduce the power of Longhu Mountain!

No, if he stays here any longer, I'm afraid he will be angry with Zhang Yi.

Zhang Normal saluted the emperor, and got into the car with a blushing face.

"Second child of the Zhang family, take a walk with your uncle?"

Longhu Mountain and his party went away, and Zhang Yimu saw his father leave, and he also had some different feelings.

Although he doesn't deal with Zhang Normal, he has some feelings for this father after getting along these days.

"I don't know when I'll see you?"

Lao Zhu said a lot, and Zhang Yi said casually: "I'll see you next year!" ”

He knew that in the second year of Hongwu, Zhang Normal would go to Beijing to preside over a Dharma meeting for Zhu Yuanzhang, so he said this.

Lao Zhu silently wrote down this sentence, but did not say anything.

"Zhang Yi, you stay in the capital alone, what needs can you ask your uncle...... Say, what do you need, uncle will buy it for you! ”

Zhang Yi bowed down and replied:

"Uncle Huang, my father gave me twelve silver pieces before leaving the capital, and these silver are enough for us to spend, but cultivators need to cultivate, especially our Longhu Mountain's Wai Dan Technique, some materials are not easy to buy, I don't know if my uncle has any way to help?"

"You want cinnabar or something, I'll have someone send it to you when you get back......"

"Thank you uncle, but the materials I need are a little complicated, more than these, if uncle is not too troublesome, I will write you a list, if you have to buy as much as possible, you don't have to pay for the money, I will pay for it myself!"

Zhang Yi seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and he took out a note from his arms, on which were written some items he needed.

Zhu Yuanzhang took it and looked at it, frowning slightly.

The things that Zhang Yi needs are really varied.

Medicinal herbs, garlic, saltpeter, cinnabar, ore, and a kind of sand that he specified where to collect it, all of these things can be alchemy?

Zhu Yuanzhang expressed doubts in his heart, but he didn't want to accept the list.

"I'll try my best to buy it, but I can't guarantee that I can collect it all, you just wait, your uncle and I can't ask for your money, since I told Lao Zhang to take care of you, my uncle can definitely help you!"

Zhang Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, to be honest, the twelve silver that Zhang Normal left behind, if he just lived a small life, it was enough.

Twelve taels of silver, is 288 taels of silver, converted into one tael of silver can buy two stone of grain, which is nearly six hundred stone of grain, not to mention the officials of the Ming Dynasty, these silver have been compared to a lot of annual income of the nobles who were knighted.

For example, the famous Liu Bowen, who has not yet been made an earl, is only 240 stone of grain a year after he was made an earl. It is equivalent to about one hundred and twenty taels of silver.

The current emperor's slamming of the door and the surplus of Longhu Mountain, just from this detail comparison, it is self-explanatory.

But even if it is so much silver, I am afraid it is not enough for Zhang Yi.

He had too many ideas in his heart to realize, so he needed a lot of materials to experiment, but fortunately, he could collect some things in the name of alchemy without arousing the suspicion of others.

But money, Zhang Normal can give him twelve silver is already the top of the sky, as Zhang Yi said that day, the most important thing in Longhu Mountain is to be low-key.

In Jiangxi, the emperor is far away, and the emperor may not be able to see the Zhang family's flamboyance, but he is in the capital, with the name of a son of the Zhang family, how much does Lao Zhang dare to give?

If you want to accomplish your goals, you must first make money?

But how to make money, Zhang Yi had no clue for a while, so he could only take one step at a time.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Yi were walking in front, and suddenly the sound of galloping horses came from behind.

"Give way, give way to Young Master Ben!"

With a roar, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around, but saw a young man rushing over, and at that moment, Zhang Yi's small hand pulled him and made him fall towards the side of the road.

The boy rode his horse past him.

"It's the son of the Chang family, Chang Mao ......"

The people around recognized each other's identities and talked about it.

The saint was disturbed, and the faces of the guards around the emperor showed anger, but the sharp-eyed guards recognized the origin of the young man?

The general often meets the son of the Chun family, driving a horse forward in the downtown area?

The anger on the emperor's face was overflowing, he looked at the guards around him, and was about to have a seizure, when suddenly Zhang Yi grabbed his hand:

"Uncle Huang, that's the son of the Chang Yuchun family, the future Guogong, don't you be impulsive?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, and immediately thought of his current identity, and suddenly woke up.

However, when he came back to his senses, he looked at Zhang Yi with a strange gaze.

"How do you know that Chang Mao will be the future Guogong?"

In the first year of Hongwu, the emperor had not yet been awarded meritorious heroes, and he even had only drafted a list of meritorious heroes, and only he and Zhu Biao had seen this list.

How could this seven-year-old boy know Chang Mao's identity and tell him about his future adventures?

Zhang Yi dodged his eyes and said:

"Everyone knows that he is the child of the Chang Yuchun family, isn't he the future Guogong? Who doesn't know that we have two major military gods in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, these two must be the people of the crown? ”

"Why isn't it a king?"

Lao Zhu is not such an easy person to fool, he opened his mouth to ask Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi smiled:

"Just like the name of my family's Heavenly Master, Your Majesty can't tolerate it, how can he tolerate a prince with a different surname?"

Lao Zhu's expression was moved, Zhang Yi's words really spoke to his heart.

The previous dynasty was not too strict with the reward of the prince, and there were more princes with different surnames, and the more famous example, that is, the god of war king Baobao of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, was canonized as the king of Qi.

Although the emperor has not yet made a great meritorious hero, there are many speculations in the court about the rewards of Zhu Yuanzhang and these old brothers.

Among them, Li Shanchang, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun are already recognized candidates for princes.

Lao Zhu is in charge of the school, so he naturally knows what the officials are talking about in private.

In fact, this kind of speculation is normal, the official system of the Ming Dynasty follows the previous dynasty, and everyone guesses that this reward is natural according to the old practice.

But Zhu Yuanzhang has a different opinion in his heart, he is a person who values power very much, and he also cares a lot about fame.

The name of Zhang Tianshi, from the Han Dynasty to today, the Zhang family has been called for hundreds of years, and I have never seen any emperor take it seriously, but Lao Zhu chewed the words, just to get rid of your name.

The reason for this is the same as the fact that he did not allow the existence of a living king with a different surname.

He has a heart knot, and Zhu Biao may not know this heart knot.

However, Zhang Yi easily saw through his bottom line, which made the emperor murderous.
