In front of the Fengtian Palace, the hundred officials were silent.

Even Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless for a while.

Zhang's normal reward is insignificant, Lao Zhang is an outsider, and it is normal to offer auspicious rui and get some benefits.

What's more, most of the officials can see that Zhang Normal is nothing more than a prop used by the emperor to stimulate the Kong family, and to a large extent, if the emperor does not want to clean up the Kong family, Lao Zhang will not get such benefits.

But even so, Liu Ji also stood up against Lao Zhang.

What's even more rare is that Li Shanchang will actually seconded Liu Ji's decision.

This kind of treacherous scene made the old foxes present unsure for a while, and they were all silent.

You must know that although the Ming Dynasty has just been established, the contradictions between Li Shanchang and Liu Ji have gradually become public, with different ideas and different interests.

The two sides have vaguely formed two forces in the court to wrestle with each other.

It is absolutely uncommon for Liu Ji and Li Shanchang to unite because of one thing!

But just after a while, the hundred officials reacted, since the two most powerful people in the court have knelt down, what choice do they still need?

"Chen Yang Xian seconded the proposal!"

"Minister Wang Guangyang seconded the proposal!"

"Minister Hu Weiyong seconded the proposal!"

……

The officials in front of the emperor knelt down.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank instantly, and Zhang Normal was even bigger.

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military suddenly became his enemies, and he instantly felt that the whole person was not good.

"Liu Ji, tell me what you mean, are you dissatisfied with the canonization of Zhang Zhenren?"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and questioned Liu Ji directly.

Liu Ji's expression did not change, and said:

"Your Majesty, Zhang Kong's two families are my Chinese family, and the Kong family is the most holy master, and the status is noble, now Your Majesty is rewarded, why is Kong Xi only awarded the second rank, and Zhang Zhenren's rank is from the first grade, since ancient times, the saint only respects the Confucian saint, and An You is placed above the Yan Shenggong with the Taoist priest?"

"No matter what your majesty's intentions are, I think it's inappropriate!"

Liu Ji almost pointed to Zhu Yuanzhang's face and said that he deliberately retaliated, but Zhu Yuanzhang's expression did not change.

What kind of character Liu Ji is, Zhu Yuanzhang also knows in his heart, and his question is probably the reason why some officials are dissatisfied.

Everyone has a position and their own calculations.

These Ming officials in front of them, if the emperor just taught the Confucian family a lesson, they would probably pretend to be crazy and stupid, as Zhang Yi said, most of them actually don't like a Confucian family who is nostalgic for power.

The mascot should have the consciousness of the mascot, and the Confucian family that does not touch the fireworks in the world is the best Confucian family in the hearts of scholars!

Therefore, from this position, the interests of the emperor and the officials are actually the same.

But the emperor shouldn't have been, he shouldn't have used the Zhang family to suppress the Kong family.

The emperor suppressed the Kong family, and the scholars could be regarded as infighting, but your Zhang family pressed the Kong family, what kind of thing is your Longhu Mountain?

The circulation of Chinese power has always been among the kings and scholars, Taoist priests, and the playthings of kings.

Zhu Yuanzhang understood this truth, and Zhu Biao gradually understood it.

Liu Ji knelt down with hundreds of officials, not for Kong Xixue, he was reminding Zhu Yuanzhang not to ignore the status of Confucianism because of the Confucian family.

It is no wonder that Li Shanchang and the officials who are usually intrigued will kneel in unison, which is the "exhortation" of the entire Shizi group to the emperor!

Zhu Biao was a little sympathetic to Zhang Normal, and he inexplicably became a pawn in the game between hundreds of officials and kings.

"Hehe......"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't see joy or anger on his face, and after a long time, he chuckled.

He smiled, and the official on his knees couldn't figure it out.

"Liu Ji, I ask you, should you be rewarded for your merits?"

"Yes!"

"Then I ask you, the last time Zhang Normal came to Beijing, I have given him a real position, a second rank, this time he has made a monstrous achievement, should I be rewarded?"

Liu Ji hesitated for a moment and replied:

"Yes!"

The four words of monstrous merit, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty do not know the details, but the merit should be rewarded, and no one can say that the emperor is righteous.

"Then you teach me, Zhang Zhenren is already a real person, the second rank, and he is a person outside the party, how should I reward him, whether to give him a knighthood, or to enshrine Zhang Normal as a national teacher?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, the anger in his words was no longer hidden.

Everyone was instantly silent.

Only Liu Ji Toutie, back:

"The minister thinks that if Zhang Zhenren really makes immortal achievements, it is not too much to reward him, but if His Majesty is just because of a certain auspicious ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately shut up and pointed at Zhang Normal:

"You say ......"

Zhang Normal was inexplicably involved in this turmoil, on one side was the king, and on the other hand, he was a civil and military official, and he had already secretly complained in his heart.

The Ming Dynasty is too difficult to mix, although he has also been the Heavenly Master of the Yuan Dynasty, he has never seen this kind of scene.

Seeing that the emperor forced himself to appear, Zhang Normal stiffened his head and began to say:

"Poor Dao dreamed in a dream that the ancestor came and gave him a volume of scriptures and a medical book!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt everyone's eyes fall on him with all kinds of disdain.

Cut~ I thought it was a fresh routine?

Although the ancients believed in ghosts and gods, they couldn't stand up to the thousands of years in China, auspicious events emerged one after another, and everyone was a little aesthetically fatigued, do you still play this set?

The hundred officials were eager to try, if the emperor wasn't here, many of them would probably jump out and spray people.

Zhang Normal was being watched by others, and he couldn't help but curse his rebel son in his heart.

If you donate a medical book, you will donate a medical book, what kind of apocrypha are you doing?

You're cool, but in the end, the black pot isn't your own back?

He took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to finish what was going on.

As he spoke, the fighting spirit of the officials gradually turned into astonishment, and finally fell silent.

Not to talk about the dream of the gods, the word smallpox is too familiar to the big guys.

Everyone is a person who has experienced the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Plagues are rampant.

No one died of smallpox, and even many of their wives and children and grandchildren died in front of their eyes.

Even now that the Ming Dynasty has unified the south, the influence left by the displaced people in the troubled times is still there.

Smallpox, the king of the plague, actually affects everyone.

If Zhang Normal really had a way to eradicate smallpox forever, it would not be an exaggeration for him to be knighted on this basis.

Because this matter is not a generation, but a matter of interests!

The only thing everyone doubts now is whether this Taoist priest is pretending to be a ghost?

After all, from ancient times to the present, the emperor who was killed by a Taoist priest has at least ten fingers, and Zhang Normal was taken the position of heavenly master by the emperor, and it is also common sense for him to take risks and speculate.

"This ...... Is it reliable? ”

Liu Bowen asked the questions they wanted to ask for the hundred officials, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have a good face:

"Are you the kind of faint king who is superstitious about Huang Lao?"

The hundred officials looked at each other, Zhu Yuanzhang was in the prime of life at this time, and he really didn't look like he would be superstitious about the art of immortality.

If that's the case, then their reasons for coming out of the crowd become very awkward.

"I think about intrigue all day long, and I don't know how to do a serious job! Liu Ji, Li Shanchang, and Zhang Zhenren will all come to the imperial study in a while! ”

Lao Zhu was furious, shook off the hundred officials, and then left the Fengtian Hall with Zhu Biao.

As soon as he reached the place where no one was, the emperor immediately smiled.

"Good!"

Seeing that the emperor was happy, Zhu Biao was stunned!
