My Brother-in-law is the Prince - Chapter 404

Zhang Anshi seemed a little cramped today.

After all, it was the first time to face the saint as the king of Wuhu County, so it seemed too natural and obviously inappropriate.

Zhu Di didn’t care about this, and continued: “At the beginning, I ordered you to suppress Qixia, but now I order you to be a vassal in Taiping Mansion. Do you know what I mean?”

“I know.” Zhang Anshi said: “Your Majesty hopes that the Taiping Mansion can continue to open up the situation.”

Zhu Di said: “How to open the situation.”

Zhang Anshi said with a look of embarrassment: “I can only do my best.”

Zhu Di said again: “Be more specific.”

Zhang Anshi said: “Cultivate talents, deepen the New Deal, and create a peaceful government.”

Zhu Di nodded and said: “You put the word “Yucai” at the top, which shows that you understand me. You can’t rely on one family and one surname to do anything. Whoever can achieve great things has no wings? If not, even if you are called an orphan A widow, known as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, this will is not good, and there is nothing to do.”

Zhang Anshi said: “Your Majesty is wise.”

Zhu Di took a deep look at Zhang Anshi, and said: “In Jiangxi Chief Envoy, they actually want to kill the king, and even want to kill you. It can be seen… now, there is no way for me and you to go. Naturally, It’s not that there is no way out at all, but I can abolish the New Deal, return everything to the original track, and follow the example of Song Renzong. But the New Deal has reached this point, and the benefits of the New Deal to the community and the people are real. How can I Have the heart to put all this in vain?”

Speaking of this, Zhu Di sighed: “Since there is no way to retreat, then I will point at you and continue to work hard. Now the situation is dangerous, the frustrated people in the world are ready to move, and there are also people in the court who are against the New Deal. And the henchmen of the quickest ones, you… have to use your heart, be sincere, and don’t be timid and shrink back.”

The words have been chosen very clearly.

Zhu Di already had plans to break the boat, and this desperate signal was Zhang Anshi becoming king.

Back to the law of the ancestors and set a precedent for the Ming Dynasty, in fact, it is to tell the people of the world that the New Deal at the court level is non-negotiable, and there is no room for change.

He, Zhu Laosi, even Emperor Taizu Gao, was no longer secretly rebellious, but openly violated the ancestral law of Emperor Taizu Gao, so there was no possibility of compromise at all.

Zhang Anshi said: “I obey the order.”

Zhu Di stared at him with dissatisfaction and said: “Today, you are proclaiming yes and being obedient, don’t you have anything to say?”

Zhang Anshi paused for a moment, but said: “I have something to do, I beg Your Majesty’s permission.”

Zhu Di paced and said, “Speak.”

Zhang Anshidao: “The emperor’s grandson is now sixteen years old, and it is the year of dancing elephants. I heard people say that when he is fifteen, he can dance elephants and learn archery. At this age, the emperor’s grandson is no longer suitable to live in the East Palace for a long time. I implore your majesty to let him go.” He left the Eastern Palace to take up a position, so that he can sharpen himself.”

After hearing this, Zhu Di was a little surprised, obviously he didn’t expect that Zhang Anshi would suddenly mention the emperor’s grandson.

But regarding the emperor and grandson, Zhu Di naturally became serious, and said: “According to what you said, how should you temper yourself?”

Zhang An Shidao: “The commercial bank, Jinyiwei, and Taiping Mansion can be chosen by themselves.”

Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, as if he understood something at once, so he glanced at Zhang Anshi meaningfully, and said, “You bastard, you actually set your mind on my grandson.”

Zhang Anshi met Zhu Di’s gaze calmly, and said solemnly: “Your Majesty’s words are wrong. I know that Your Majesty loves the emperor’s grandson, but I am the emperor’s grandson’s uncle. Is there any uncle in the world who doesn’t love his nephew? But the emperor If Sun has been doing nothing, I think it is inappropriate, but now… the new policy is about to roll out, and when I am employing people, first, it can sharpen the emperor and grandson, so that he will be able to take charge of himself in the future. Second, it can also inspire people’s hearts.”

Actually, Zhang Anshi didn’t say anything, that is… the meaning of the emperor’s grandson to the whole world is different, he is almost everyone’s default heir, and even his status is much stronger than his father.

That is to say, it may not be surprising that the prince Zhu Gaochi did not inherit the throne, but if the emperor’s grandson Zhu Zhanji did not inherit the throne, then the sun really came out from the west.

Who in the world does not know, Zhu Di’s attitude towards the emperor’s grandson?

Almost every now and then, someone would ask the emperor about his grandson’s daily life.

Every time there is a banquet in the palace, Zhu Di scolds the sky and the earth, but only when he sees Zhu Zhanji, can he have a smiling face.

Even Zhu Zhanji immediately organized a young army and recruited a large number of young people as retinues shortly after he came of age.

This kind of treatment far exceeds that of Prince Zhu Gaochi.

However, although Zhang Anshi’s suggestion was suggested by Yang Pu, in fact, Zhang Anshi thought it was very reliable from the bottom of his heart.

The grandson of the emperor came out to do things in person. It might not be possible for other emperors of Ming Dynasty, but it was very reasonable when it came to Zhu Di.

You must know that in history, Zhu Di brought Zhu Zhanji with him almost every time he went on an expedition, taught him the principles of running an army, and even allowed Zhu Zhanji to participate in some less dangerous military operations.

This is why, after Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, he dared to visit the border towns in person, the most famous of which was the Battle of Kuanhe.

At that time, Zhu Zhanji went to inspect the border town, and found out that the Wuliangha tribe of Mongolia rebelled, and tens of thousands of people raided the frontier fortress of Ming Dynasty.

So Zhu Zhanji personally led 3,000 people to suppress the rebellion. When the two armies met, Zhu Zhanji personally shot and killed the three forwards of the enemy.

After that, the Wuliangha tribe was defeated. Zhu Zhanji’s soldiers and horses had a lot of firearms and the cavalry was insufficient.

It can be seen from this that Zhu Di brought Zhu Zhanji with him every time he attacked the desert.

If Zhu Di hadn’t tempered himself when he was young, he would have dared to let him go to military operations in person. After Zhu Zhanji proclaimed himself emperor, it was absolutely impossible for him to personally lead the army horse when he was confronted by the Mongol Wuliangha rebels, and he even personally shot the arrow to kill the Wuliangha forward.

It is even more impossible to make a team that dares to pursue directly after bringing hundreds of elite cavalry.

Therefore, Zhang Anshi has always suspected that the biggest grievance in the history of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Yingzong, known as the son of heaven, was deceived by Wang Zhen in history, and finally suffered the defeat of the Tumu Fortress, which changed the history of the Ming Dynasty. Some of the historical materials is debatable.

People of later generations always believed that Ming Yingzong’s personal conquest was the result of the instigation of treacherous officials headed by Wang Zhen, but from the perspective of Ming Yingzong’s period, the emperor’s personal conquest was actually a very normal military action.

In Ming Yingzong’s view, Emperor Taizu Gao immediately won the world, and he did not know how many military battles he participated in.

And his own great-grandfather Zhu Di, Jing Nan started a family, and after becoming emperor, he conquered the desert six times.

His father, that is, Zhu Zhanji, was also a ruthless man who chased and killed the Mongolians on the border.

To some extent, personal conquest is actually a traditional skill of the old Zhu family. At least before Ming Yingzong, it was indeed the case. It is roughly equivalent to the daily activities of every emperor after he ascended the throne. There is no need for a group of loyal ministers to beg, Your Majesty It can’t be like this, and then a group of villains headed by Wang Zhen, sneaky temptations and tricks to overcome all opinions, and then decided to personally conquer.

Of course, cooking is the original sin. The problem with Ming Yingzong is not that he conscripted himself, but because of the comparison of dishes.

In the eyes of others, the grandson of the emperor has a noble status, so naturally he must be very precious, and there should be no danger.

But obviously, for Zhu Di, Zhang Anshi’s proposal made Zhu Di a little distracted, and he pondered: “Can the emperor’s grandson take on the big responsibility?”

“I don’t know, but…you can learn it if you don’t know it, and if you don’t, you can scold it. There will always be a time to learn it.” Zhang Anshi replied honestly.

Zhu Di nodded and said: “It depends on his own wishes.”

This means agreeing.

Zhang Anshi immediately expressed great joy and said: “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness.”

Zhu Di deliberately put on a bit of awe and said: “It’s a good tempering, I don’t ask about other things.”

Zhang Anshi responded: “Follow the order.”

Zhu Di sighed: “You are the king of the county now, and you should look like the king of the county.”

Zhang Anshi said: “Yes, yes, yes.”

Zhu Di spoke earnestly. After discussing the business, as an elder respecting relatives, Zhu Di inevitably had to teach Zhang Anshi a lesson: “I heard that the censors impeached you for being rude and rude. Is there such a thing?”

Zhang Anshi said helplessly: “Ah…this…”

Zhu Di said with a stern face: “You are not young anymore, you are no longer a teenager, how can you be rude? You can be decisive in handling things, but you still need to put on a show in front of others.”

Zhang Anshidao: “…”

Zhu Di said: “Why don’t you talk?”

Zhang Anshi rubbed his head, and said annoyedly: “I am thinking, where is the minister being rude.”

Zhu Di smiled and said: “This is right, let me examine myself three times.”

“After much deliberation, it may be because I scold my mother a lot on weekdays.” Zhang Anshi thought about it seriously.

After hearing this, Zhu Di was speechless for a while, and finally said: “Okay, it’s getting late, go and open your mansion, and take care of your business.”

Zhang Anshi hurriedly resigned as if he had received an amnesty.

“Your Majesty.”

Yi Shiha smiled and served tea, and said: “The king of Wuhu County…is still a young man.”

Zhu Di said: “He is not a teenager anymore, he will think about things.”

Yi Shiha smiled, as if listening attentively.

Zhu Di said: “Let the emperor’s grandson go out of the palace, he has a good plan.”

Yi Shiha smiled and said: “Yes, the grandson of the Pope has been tempered, but also inspiring…”

Zhu Di said: “It’s more than that, he doesn’t want to be the standard-bearer of this new deal, he wants to let the emperor’s grandson buy this man’s heart!”

“It’s so, His Majesty thought far-reachingly. I didn’t expect the king of Wuhu County to learn how to protect himself wisely.” Yi Shiha still smiled.

In fact, everyone knows what Zhang Anshi is planning. If you want to survive in the palace, if you don’t have more than a dozen minds, you will be killed a long time ago.

What’s more, Yishiha who stands out from the crowd?

It’s just these words, but Yi Shiha can’t point it out, and only His Majesty can point it out.

A truly shrewd person does not lie in how to show his shrewdness, but to hide his edge.

…

Zhang Anshi said goodbye to Zhu Di, and came to the East Palace non-stop, and conveyed Zhu Di’s “oral order” to Zhu Zhanji face to face.

Zhu Zhanji put his hands behind his back, looked a little excited, and said with great interest: “Uncle, in this way, I can also be alone?”

“No, I’m not alone, I’m an errand.” Zhang Anshi said: “Choose an errand yourself. There are also many errands in the Jinyiwei, the Commercial Firm, and the Taiping Mansion. You can handle it yourself. You are too young, so be a small official. ”

Zhu Zhanji’s face tensed, the smile on his face disappeared suddenly, and he became angry, and said, “Uncle, I’m going to talk to my concubine…”

“Go, go quickly.” Zhang Anshi looked completely unafraid, and even sneered: “I’m about to talk about this with my sister. My sister understands the righteousness and the general situation, so I wish I could.”

Zhu Zhanji suddenly looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, and said weakly: “Then what do you think it is good to go?”

Zhang Anshi pondered and said: “Qixia Investment Promotion Division needs manpower, you might as well give it a try.”

Zhu Zhanji asked, “Department of Investment Promotion, what are you doing?”

“Deal with merchants.”

Zhu Zhanji said: “But I don’t know how to deal with people.”

Zhang Anshi said: “You can learn what you don’t understand, it’s okay, uncle is here.”

Zhu Zhanji thought of something again, and said again: “But if you bring many guards…would it be wrong?”

Zhang Anshi didn’t have time to think about it and said: “Uncle will arrange it. When it comes to protection, no one understands it better than Uncle. Don’t worry.”

Zhang Anshi was in a posture that did not allow him to have an excuse for refusing, so Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to nod.

After finishing his work, Zhang Anshi hurried back to Qixia.

This county prince’s mansion has a bright sign hanging high up, even if it looks good.

There are offices in the front, and the inner courtyard of the palace is in the back, which is similar to the Forbidden City.

Of course, the most distinctive thing here is the turrets here and there. Each turret is a sentry post. Entering this county palace, the walls are dense. If a stranger comes in, there is no one to guide the way.

At this time, Zhang Anshi was promoted.

Taiping Mansion came to congratulate one after another.

Now the officials in the Taiping Mansion are already Zhang Anshi’s subordinate officials.

Zhang Anshi didn’t show any joy at the moment, but said: “Because of His Majesty’s great love, I was conferred the title of king. I am in awe and trepidation, walking on thin ice, lest I fail to serve the court and feel ashamed of your Majesty. Everyone is here today. It’s very good. Let me announce something first.” One thing, this king’s Changshi Mansion needs a lot of manpower.”

For the county king, the status of Changshi Mansion is equivalent to Wenyuan Pavilion, which belongs to the secretarial institution.

Of course, this secretary is not the ideal kind of secretary who is fine during the day and fine at night.

What they are responsible for is uploading and distributing, which is like Zhang Anshi’s right-hand man.

And you must be young, the future is naturally limitless.

Zhang Anshi seemed to have prepared a long time ago, and directly photographed a roster, and then said: “Just follow this.”

After everyone listened, they circulated it one after another.

But after a closer look, I found that there was no one I knew.

This is suspicious.

Gao Xiang looked puzzled, and couldn’t help but said: “Captain…”

Zhang Anshi said: “It’s Your Highness.”

Gao Xiang smirked and said, “His Royal Highness Wuhu County King, most of the lower officials in this roster are incomprehensible, for example… this Yu Qian…is a Juren from Zhejiang. There is nothing wrong with it, but is this person willing to come here for business? The second is… this person is not familiar with the situation in Taiping Mansion, will he…”

He gave an example.

And this person named Yu Qian, although he is a Juren, but from the perspective of Gao Xiang, there are too many Juren in Daming, and in the roster, most of them are Yu Qian who is not well-known and has little relationship with the Taiping Mansion. student.

Zhang Anshi was obviously prepared for someone to ask questions. He smiled and said: “I know your doubts. The Changshi Mansion is a secretary supervisor. Its essence is from the superior. They are unfamiliar with the Taiping Mansion. Let them get familiar with it slowly. The important thing is to recruit talented people. Talented people are the foundation of the New Deal, and only the best of the world can enter the Taiping Mansion, then things will be settled.”

Zhang Anshi continued: “You are all hard-working talents, that’s why I let you take the lead. As for Yu Qian, I have ordered someone to invite him. If he refuses, that’s fine. Don’t worry, Your Majesty will take action and he will come down.” decree!”

This is Yu Qian, not the Yu Qian known to later generations.

This Yu Qian does not like to smoke or drink, but he is a famous figure. It can even be said that if there are many stars in the history of the Ming Dynasty, then this Yu Qian must be the most shining one among them.

Obviously, what Zhang Anshi needs most is people, and plastic young people. These young people must have integrity, be indomitable, and have a smart mind that is different from ordinary people. They must also have the courage to stand out from the crowd in critical situations. courage.

Right now, Zhejiang Juren Yu Qian has become the focus of Zhang Anshi’s recruitment.

As for whether Yu Qian agrees with the New Deal, Zhang Anshi doesn’t care, because he knows this kind of person, as long as he is recruited, let him personally understand the essence of the New Deal and the changes it can bring. Enemy against the New Deal.

Naturally, besides Yu Qian, there are many other people in the roster.

It can be said that in the next 30 to 50 years, Zhang Anshi racked his brains and pondered over all the heroes, and he has already searched all the heroes in this directory.

Gao Xiang listened, and pondered: “Since Your Highness thinks it is so appropriate, then the officials and others will definitely have no objection.”

Zhang Anshi thought of something at this time, and said: “How is the situation on Qixia’s side now?”

While speaking, someone slowly stood up, it was Chen Li.

Chen Li is not an official of the county palace, he is here today, just to attend.

At this moment, Chen Li calmed down and looked at Zhang Anshi gratefully.

…

Obviously, the reason why Chen Li thought that he was very likely to get the position of commander was naturally the result of Zhang Anshi’s strong recommendation.

Chen Li calmly said: “Your Highness, everything has been arranged properly.”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “Everything is ready?”

Chen Li firmly said: “I only owe the east wind.”

After Zhang Anshi listened, he cheered up and said with radiance: “Very good, let’s go to Dongfeng, let’s do it!”

The sound of these words shook the rubble!

…

During the Chinese New Year, there will be fewer updates, but the daily updates will be guaranteed. I hope everyone understands and ask for a monthly pass.
