My Brother-in-law is the Prince - Chapter 401

Chapter 401 Conferring the King

As soon as the word gossip was mentioned, Zhu Di became very angry.

Born in front of Empress Xu, Zhu Di tried his best, and finally suppressed his anger.

Then he said again: “It seems that this matter is imperative, and if the name is not correct, the words will not go well.”

Empress Xu nodded and said, “According to Your Majesty, what should we do?”

Empress Xu already understood what Zhu Di meant, but she also understood after thinking about it, that this matter is not small, the key point of the problem is that things must be done, and they must be done beautifully.

The ancients were the most upright people, but if there is a little bit of criticism, it will inevitably make people criticize.

Zhu Di smiled slightly and said: “This is easy to handle, as long as there are two people, this matter will be completed, and these two… I think the fire is coming.”

He looks like he is holding a wisdom pearl.

Empress Xu listened, and stopped asking.

Although Zhu Di is sometimes reckless, but in many places, his heart is very meticulous. Since he feels that there is a safe way, then this thing can definitely be done.

After a while, I saw Zhu Di’s worried face again, and said quietly: “What I am worried about now is the problem of the Taiping Mansion. I heard that all industries are in depression, hey…”

Empress Xu said: “In the past few years, the internal funds have been plentiful, and it is indeed not unrelated to this Taiping Mansion. Now that something has gone wrong, Your Majesty should really pay attention.”

Zhu Di stared at Empress Xu: “Why, what do you have to say?”

Empress Xu smiled gently and said, “I’m a woman, and I don’t have any great opinions. What can I say? It’s just… Your Majesty, as the saying goes, flies don’t bite seamless eggs. Now those people are actually killing the king. You can see this.” People, they are already insane! Because of this, they jump over the wall in a hurry, but they don’t know what they will do. From my wife’s opinion, now that something happened in Taiping Mansion, it is even more difficult to ensure that no one will make trouble secretly.”

Zhu Di listened, took a deep breath, and nodded again: “I also expected this, these people… huh…”

Zhu Di showed disdain, and said coldly: “If these people can’t be wiped out, my Ming Dynasty will never have peace.”

Empress Xu smiled sweetly, and said, “Your Majesty, in the past when Jing was in trouble, no matter how difficult things were, didn’t you do it like this? If you think about it for the better, at least… what Your Majesty and Zhang Qing wanted to do has already completed most of it. If not, how could these people jump over the wall in such a hurry?”

Zhu Di said: “This is not wrong. If it didn’t really hurt them, they might not have such courage. After much deliberation, the New Deal is still very effective.”

Empress Xu said: “Though these concubines have lived in the palace for a long time, they know that people’s hearts are the hardest thing to deal with. For petty gains, even just for a title, the eunuchs will fight, and the concubines in the harem will also fight. As His Majesty just said, Emperor Taizu Gao even had to alienate his sons in order to prevent his sons from competing for the position. Fighting, brothers fighting, ministers fighting, which time is it not about life and death? Is this kind of thing rare? Your Majesty should not care about this, let alone be indignant.”

Zhu Di bitterly said: “I treat them kindly, how dare they do this, how can they not hate?”

Empress Xu shook her head and smiled: “Because you can’t have hatred. When people have hatred, they will inevitably be blinded by hatred and make irrational judgments.”

“And Your Majesty is someone who wants to make great things happen. At any time, you must be calmer than the people in the world. At any time, you also need to make better choices. The Ninth Five-Year Lord holds the power of the world in his hands. Everyone is in awe, everyone is in awe, but there will inevitably be ambitious people coveting this great position, if even His Majesty is blinded by resentment, how can he achieve great things?”

Zhu Di was taken aback when he heard this, and then he laughed dumbly and said, “You’re right, I shouldn’t be easily angered, and I shouldn’t be irritable and impulsive at any time, otherwise, it will ruin major events.”

Zhu Di, who was in a bad mood, felt relieved after being comforted by Empress Xu.

At the moment, he said leisurely: “It’s too late to pass it on, I have something to order.”

………

A secret decree was quickly sent to Jiangxi Chief Envoy.

Liu Guan, Minister of Rites, has gone crazy here.

Even Chen Daowen, a thousand households of Jin Yiwei who accompanied him in handling the case, felt that this guy was a bit unreasonable.

This is not investigating the Qin case, it is killing people like hemp.

All the people involved in the railway ransacked their homes, took the account books, compared them one by one, first issued the driver’s sticker, and people called them, and then interrogated them overnight.

So much so that the big prisons in Nanchang Mansion were not enough, so all the government offices were turned into big prisons.

Anyway, most of the government officials in the government office of Nanchang Prefecture have been cleaned up, just to make room.

Liu Guan is extremely dissatisfied with Jin Yiwei. He always feels that Jin Yiwei is too polite.

So he was dissatisfied with Chen Wendao: “It’s too slow. If this goes on, when will we be able to clean up the monsters here? Chen Qianhu, you Jinyiwei are too old-fashioned to do things, just searched out from the hands of the Wu family.” Just take all the books. Why are you being polite? Right now the prison is overcrowded. If things go on like this, how can there be room for so many prisoners? In my humble opinion, it’s better to cut the mess quickly.”

Chen Daowen looked at Liu Guan with a complicated face, but still said: “Jinyiwei has the rules of Jinyiwei.”

Liu Guan opened his eyes slightly, and said with a look of envy and hatred: “These rebellious officials and thieves are punished by everyone. If you don’t give them a little bit of power, they think the court is weak! Don’t you know that they are so greedy? Where, let alone how rampant they are, do you know, when they are rampant, the Ministry of Rites may not pay attention to them, only money!”

Chen Daowen said: “Mr. Liu calm down.”

Liu Guan sighed, and said: “The young people nowadays are not as energetic as before. I think back then, when Emperor Taizu Gao was here, they didn’t care about these things.”

Chen Daowen was speechless for a moment.

“Liu Gong.”

At this moment, the civil servants of Xingyuan came in a hurry.

Liu Guan couldn’t help being surprised when he saw it, and said, “What’s the matter?”

The official said: “There is an order in the palace.”

Liu Guan was stunned for a moment, and then he felt paralyzed. Now he is most afraid of some will from the palace!

Why?

He is worried that His Majesty will settle accounts after autumn!

I saw the official said again: “It’s a secret decree.”

Liu Guan hurriedly said: “Hurry up and ask the angel to come in.”

“It has been arranged in the study.” The official said: “It is better to avoid some people when talking about this matter.”

Liu Guan didn’t dare to neglect, so he hurriedly walked away and came to the study in a hurry.

Immediately, the **** waiting here gave Liu Guan a will, and when the **** left, Liu Guan carefully lit the lamp, took the order, and read it silently.

Then, Liu Guan frowned, and couldn’t help muttering: “When I was in Jiangxi, I didn’t get a penny from them, but I was almost dragged away by them. When I arrived in the palace, I didn’t give the old man a penny.” Good, but now you teach me how to use it as a shield?”

He sighed for a while, but was speechless.

…

Zhang Anshi was fined for one day, and he was soon revived with full blood. At this time, Yang Pu came to the East Palace to have an audience.

Yang Pu obviously came here specifically for Zhang Anshi. Of course, he is also an official of Zhan Shifu, so he could have come and gone in the name of meeting the prince.

Zhu Zhanji sat high, Zhang Anshi sat beside him, and what Yang Pu brought was a notebook.

The notebook is full of tables.

What is recorded is the situation in Taiping Mansion.

Yang Pu’s expression was serious. He looked at Zhang Anshi without saying a word.

Zhang Anshi looked down at the various data, his face slightly displeased.

“The situation is worse than expected.”

“There may be discrepancies and inaccuracies in the data of various prefectures and counties, but the numbers from the railway department are real. The number of goods carried every month is clear. But the current situation is very frustrating. I am very worried, not only that, but many commercial firms that used to cooperate with the Railway Department for a long time are now in a downturn. The next official has personally visited a few of them, and it is not optimistic.”

Zhang Anshi said: “It’s not urgent, we just need to recover.”

“But I’m a little worried.” Yang Pu looked at Zhang Anshi with obvious worry on his face, and said in a deep thought at this moment.

Zhang Anshidao: “There are no outsiders here, so it doesn’t matter what you say.”

Yang Pu thought for a while, and then said: “The lower officials think that the current depression of all industries is the general trend. But behind this general trend, it seems more like someone is deliberately causing trouble and making troubles. Now inside the Taiping Mansion, there are many people who are fanning the flames and making troubles. It’s also quite powerful, people’s hearts are already in turmoil now, and some people deliberately do this, it’s even worse.”

Zhang Anshi couldn’t help but look serious, and said, “Who are they?”

“Many scholars are scholars, but there are only a few scholars, or it is just an appearance…”

Zhang Anshi smiled coldly, and then said: “They are jumping over the wall in a hurry, but they think they can’t escape anyway, so they will die together.”

Yang Pu nodded and said: “The governor is here, I’m afraid it’s better to make a plan early.”

Zhang Anshi lowered his head slightly and thought for a while, then said: “Don’t worry about it, I know what’s going on in my heart, if I play with Zhang Anshi, I don’t want to see if they have weight.”

Paused, Zhang Anshi said again: “I will go to Qixia now.”

A few hours later, Zhang Anshi appeared in Qixia. Chen Li, Gao Xiang, Zhu Jinren, etc. were already waiting for their eyes to see through. They came to see Zhang Anshi one by one, and told about the situation in Taiping Mansion one by one.

The situation is indeed not optimistic.

On the one hand, it was the first time they encountered a crisis, so everyone was a little at a loss. On the other hand, they faintly felt something was wrong, which worried them.

After Zhang Anshi probably heard it, he looked at a person and said, “Zhu Jin…”

“exist.”

Zhang Anshi frowned and said: “From now on, all banks will suspend their business for a few days, and just say rectification.”

Zhu Jin turned pale with shock, and hurriedly said: “Commander, the situation here at the Qianzhuang… is not good at all. If it continues like this, I’m afraid… a big mess will come out.”

Zhang Anshi looked calm and relaxed, and said: “Just do it like this, **** the hell, don’t they want to mess up? Then teach them how powerful it is.”

Zhu Jin only felt that Zhang Anshi was a little crazy. This was not a solution to the problem, it was simply adding fuel to the fire.

Zhang Anshi immediately looked at Chen Li: “Remove all the school captains from the street, don’t take people everywhere.”

Chen Li just gave Zhang Anshi a strange look, but said without hesitation, “Obey.”

Zhang Anshi then looked at Gao Xiang: “Gaofu Yin.”

“exist.”

Zhang Anshidao: “Inform all prefectures and counties, teach them to go up and down, step by step, and perform their duties. Don’t worry about other things.”

Gao Xiang pondered for a while: “Captain, do you really care?”

“No matter!” Zhang Anshi said decisively: “What are you afraid of? The sky won’t fall. I, Zhang Anshi, are back, and the Model Camp and Jinyiwei are on standby. So what? But those people…”

Having said that, Zhang Anshi’s casualness disappeared suddenly, and his face was full of anger.

Being taught a lesson by sister, he is worried that he has nowhere to vent!

So he said: “Let them be buried with them for the next thing!”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Anshi raised his hand and said with a flick of his sleeves: “According to orders, the situation of each business firm, each street, and each prefecture and county should still be reported to me at any time.”

“yes.”

One by one, they took orders and left to work, and the duty room was finally clean.

On the contrary, Zhang Anshi became calm and relaxed. The current situation seems to be a bit chaotic. If he wants to sort out slowly, or rectify certain people, it seems that it will take a lot of effort. Coupled with the current slump in all industries, it will inevitably lead to The government is wary of rats, but Zhang Anshi obviously doesn’t have the heart to sort it out slowly. What he wants is to cut the mess quickly and see blood!

…

Here in Qixia, people are already panicking. The bulk commodities have been plummeting, and many merchants have hoarded goods that are unsalable.

On the streets, chaos also began to appear. Now a pamphlet is popular on the street, and most of the pamphlets are gossips.

And here, someone has rushed to the capital.

Somewhere in the capital.

A group of people sat silently, their heads bowed, their faces ashen ashes.

The imperial court has sealed off the capital, forming a situation of catching a turtle in a urn. It is even more chilling that Jiang Chensheng was beaten to death by His Majesty in front of the ministers.

That horrible scene, like a dark cloud, shrouded everyone’s heart.

Finally, someone said with difficulty: “Sooner… sooner or later… Jinyi Wei follows the vine…”

“Your Majesty has gone crazy, what else can’t they do now?”

“We will definitely be affected, hey, when they did such things in Jiangxi, the old man said that they must never do it, the risk is too great, but Wu’s…”

“What’s the use of talking about this now?”

Someone stood up and said angrily: “It’s the day of death for a man, so what’s the point of sacrificing one’s life? Now that you’ve been forced to this point, then we’ll simply die.”

“I don’t know if you have any other ideas.”

“Come on, make a mess.” The angry human said: “The New Deal has been so noisy and wailing all over the place for so many years, but what did you get in return? Isn’t there a lot of complaints in the Taiping Mansion now? In my opinion , then teach the Taiping Mansion to make troubles more vicious and turn the world upside down, just to teach the world what this new policy looks like.”

“Trouble, why make trouble? Should I wait?”

“What kind of people am I waiting for? Teach the soldiers and civilians to make trouble. Didn’t the Qin Dynasty have such ordinary people as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang? Didn’t the Han Dynasty also have the yellow scarf bandits first? First teach the ignorant people to make trouble, and it’s almost time. , that is, when I wait to come out to clean up the mountains and rivers.”

Everyone was silent.

Someone said: “But where are the thieves like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang?”

The man said: “Don’t worry, we are already teaching.”

The people at this time are more like a group of people who are about to drown. They know that if they continue like this, they will be found out sooner or later, and they will end up dead without a place to bury them.

But now, whenever they have an idea, they regard it as a life-saving straw and hold it tightly in their hands.

Knowing that these words… are very unlikely to be realized, but there is a good saying that offense is the best defense. Instead of sitting still, it is better to simply attack the Taiping Mansion and make the Taiping Mansion turn upside down. At least it will also teach His Majesty and Zhang Anshi to burn their heads Give them more time regardless.

At this moment, someone came in a hurry.

“There is news from the palace.”

Everyone just thought that a catastrophe was imminent, and they didn’t know what Zhu Di had found out. At that moment, everyone’s expressions changed, and their faces turned livid.

The man said: “Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, and Liu Guan, the minister of the Ministry of rites, made a concerted effort to make Zhang Anshi king.”

As soon as this remark was made, there was another silence in the hall.

The king of Shu is the representative of the clan. He is the emperor Gao after Taizu, and he is in the capital again. To some extent, he represents the meaning of the clan.

As for Liu Guan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, he is in charge of the Ministry of Rites. Although the authority of the Ministry of Rites is not as powerful as that of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War, it is the most noble. After all, it is in charge of ritual education.

It can be said that being a king is a very unexpected thing for the people here.

It can be known that these two people played the performance, but they feel that it is reasonable.

Under this world, if it weren’t for these two people to play, it really wouldn’t be justifiable.

Finally, someone couldn’t help but sneered and said, “I’m really willing, but… isn’t this against the ancestral system?”

“Now that they have ruled the world, of course what they say about the ancestral system is the ancestral system. Anyway, the ancestors belong to them.”

Someone was deep in thought, and said inwardly, “What’s going on with Wenyuan Pavilion and the ministries?”

“Can there be any movement?” Someone shook his head and said: “The two of you will play, as long as the palace pushes the boat smoothly, then this matter will be considered settled, but I don’t know which dynasty’s courtesy will be used for this king with a different surname.”

You must know that the treatment of kings in successive dynasties is completely different. There has never been a king with a different surname in Ming Dynasty.

Everyone couldn’t help sighing again.

The news arrived very quickly, and it arrived on Zhang Anshi’s desk. Zhang Anshi read Jin Yiwei’s memorial twice, and then showed a strange expression.

He looked a little weird, but no one knew it. At this moment, he couldn’t help but muttered in his heart: “Sister is amazing.”

………

New Year is coming, I wish you all good health and good luck, and here is the monthly ticket!
