My Brother-in-law is the Prince - Chapter 414

A local big family like the Wu family must be inextricably linked with the local scholars.

This is not surprising at all.

So although Hu Guang wanted to deny it, he finally admitted it honestly.

Zhang An Shidao: “This case involves a wide range of people, and it is jaw-dropping. From the Wenyuan Pavilion to the ordinary Hanlin editors of the Hanlin Academy, many are involved.”

Zhang Anshi paused, and then said: “If it’s an ordinary case, it’s fine, but this is a reverse case. Those who have colluded with the Wu family must be panicked. Your Majesty wants to investigate this matter thoroughly. Even if people think about it, they know that as long as Jin Yiwei continues to investigate, sooner or later they may be found.”

Hu Guang was slightly relieved to see that Zhang Anshi did not continue to follow his friendship with the Wu family.

But Zhang Anshi continued: “Since being caught is only a matter of time, it is inevitable to jump over the wall in a hurry. Your Majesty… They will definitely do everything possible to muddy the water in the capital, because this is the only way to attract the attention of Your Majesty and Jin Yiwei.” Concentrate on other aspects. This is why the attacks on the New Deal have intensified a few days ago, and the reason why the people in the Taiping Mansion were panicked all stemmed from this.”

Zhu Di nodded and said: “To this day, they are still unrepentant, a group of people who kill thousands of knives.”

Zhang Anshi pursed his lips and smiled and said: “On the surface, it seems that the situation in Taiping Mansion is critical, and Jinyiwei is at a loss. But in fact, in my opinion, this is actually an opportunity? Doesn’t this prove that these people Have been forced to a dead end and have to jump over the wall?”

“Because of this, His Royal Highness…has done a good thing, that is, to stabilize the people’s hearts and lead the people to express their feelings at this time of panic! If it weren’t for this, it would be really unreasonable for these people to want to arrest them one by one. Easy. But this time, the petition gave these people who had reached a dead end, thinking they had seized an opportunity. Therefore, I was sure that they would not miss this opportunity, so… when Wanmin made the petition, the minister had already According to the arrangement, on the one hand, Jin Yiwei is ordered to lie dormant, on standby at any time, to observe abnormal behavior.”

“On the other hand, they also communicated with the emperor and grandson in private, and set up a net of heaven and earth, just waiting for these people to show their feet, and then they can immediately attack and catch them all.”

Zhu Di nodded, he suddenly thought of something, and then said: “This is called leading a snake out of its hole?”

Zhang Anshi said: “Exactly! I took this opportunity to immediately arrest these people who are stirring up troubles everywhere, and immediately start the interrogation. This time, the petition was very sudden. If you want to come to those people, there is not much time to prepare. They are temporary. If it is a temporary response, there must be many loopholes, as long as I grasp these loopholes, I can catch big fish.”

Zhu Di couldn’t help asking: “Who is the leader?”

“There are a lot of leaders.” Zhang Anshi said: “Among them, the court officials were involved, and some of them were famous Confucians in the world.”

Zhu Di pointed to one of the people being escorted: “Is this person also included?”

Zhu Di pointed at this person with a stern expression on his face.

The person Zhu Di pointed out was a Confucian scholar.

“Isn’t this person also surnamed Wu?”

Zhu Di stared at this person.

This human said: “The crime of ten thousand deaths.”

Zhu Di said: “I have a good impression of you. You were an official in the Imperial Academy, but have you resigned since then?”

The man said: “Exactly.”

“Why did you resign?”

“I’m getting old, I just want to go back to my hometown to provide for the elderly, and I don’t want to be an official career.” This person said slowly.

Zhu Di said: “What is your relationship with the Jiangxi Wu family?”

The man shook his head and said, “Although my surname is Wu, I am from Lanxi County, Wuzhou.”

Zhu Di listened, and said: “I remembered, what does Wu Shidao have to do with you?”

The man said: “It is the ancestor of the family.”

Zhu Di didn’t say anything, just smiled.

Zhu Zhanji said from the side: “Since that’s the case, why do you want to collude with the thieves? Could it be that you are also a remnant of the former Yuan?”

The man shook his head and said: “Although the ancestor was an official in the Yuan Dynasty, the subject does not miss the Yuan Dynasty.”

Zhu Zhanji said: “Why is that?”

This man said: “Confucius said to achieve benevolence, and Meng said to seek righteousness, they just want to sacrifice their lives for righteousness. I am just a scholar with no power to restrain a chicken. Today… Now that I have reached this point, I have nothing to say .”

He said, shaking his head feebly.

“What a powerless scholar.” Zhu Di sneered after hearing this.

He glanced at Zhu Zhanji and said, “Grandson, do you think he is a scholar?”

Zhu Zhanji said: “It looks like it.”

Zhu Di continued to ask: “Is there no power to restrain the chicken?”

“Yes.” Zhu Zhanji answered honestly.

Zhu Di didn’t get angry, but sat up straight and said, “Then I’ll tell you one more thing, his grandfather Wu Shidao was very famous, and he had contacts with great Confucian scholars, including Huang Jin, Liu Guan, Wu Lai, Zheng Fuchu and others. You may not be familiar with these people, but it doesn’t matter, you just need to know that from Emperor Taizu Gao, among the civil servants of our Ming Dynasty, Song Lian, the head of the civil servants who was praised by Emperor Taizu Gao, was the most They are their students.”

After a pause, he continued: Don’t underestimate this powerless scholar. People like Wu Shidao, and their disciples, once built academies in eastern Zhejiang and Jianghuai areas, and now the well-known Diaotai Academy and Dumen Academy were all built by their disciples. ”

“Scholars in this world are lucky if they can enter such an academy for further study, and after studying in the academy, these people either return to their hometowns to open an academy to teach their children, or become officials, it can be said that they are all over the world. ”

Zhu Zhanji couldn’t help but mutter in his heart, it turned out he was teaching again.

Zhu Di seemed to see what he was thinking, and said, “Don’t underestimate the word teaching. What they pay attention to is to pass on to their children, and they also pay attention to the friendship between teachers and students. In addition, many courtiers and Chinese officials came from them. Disciple, this is not so simple, don’t talk about other things, just say that this person’s ancestor Wu Shidao not only served as an official in the Yuan Dynasty, but also had many disciples and former officials. in his book, but do you know how he compiled it?”

Zhu Zhanji said: “Please make it clear, the emperor.”

Zhu Di laughed and said: “If a scholar who studies Confucianism, even if the article is inferior, he will also include it. But if he does not regard Confucianism as a standard, even the best article, he will look down on it, and it must be classified as inferior and denounced as deviant. .Grandson, don’t underestimate his compilation of books. They are no different from my son of heaven in reading, but if you teach him to appreciate someone, you can make a big impact, and teach this person to be famous far and wide.”

“But if he doesn’t like it, he only needs to reprimand a few words to ruin this person’s reputation. They all said that I am a man who is arbitrary and decisive in killing. It’s ridiculous. The most decisive in killing and killing without blood, isn’t it? Is it just these people? I employ people, and I still know the truth that when the water is clear, there are no fish, and I always know how to forgive.”

Zhu Di said, his voice became more and more cold, and he said: “For a person like Wu Shidao, if any scholar dares to disobey his Confucianism, he will mobilize his party members and so-called friends to attack him. Even a speck of sand is not tolerated. Now his grandson claims to be a scholar with no power to restrain a chicken in front of you, but don’t believe it, they kill people with their mouths by no means less than I kill people with knives.”

Zhu Zhanji said: “Sun Chen understands, what the emperor means is, don’t be deceived by these people.”

Zhu Di squinted his eyes and said: “In the first place, reading is a good thing, but when there are many people who study, over time, each has its own merits. And those who read the book first, in order to make everyone submit to themselves, will use their fame and connections. Suppressed by the latecomers, the party unites against the dissidents, and over time, the scholars in this world are either his kind, or his old disciples. Don’t think that after he resigns, he thinks that this person is indifferent to fame and wealth. Their The heart of fame and wealth is very big. In their view, being an official is like picking something out of a bag. There are countless relatives, classmates, and disciples who are officials. For such a person, it is nothing but a burden.”

“They often accept conscripts, stay in the court for a few years, and then resign. They either edit books or teach. They are free and comfortable, and they have a literary name. However, there are many things in the world. Manipulation In their hands, most of the time, they only need to write a letter to do something, and sometimes the effect is more effective than my imperial decree.”

Zhu Zhanji listened very seriously, and said: “Sun Chen understands, this is the thief of Wen.”

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Zhanji approvingly, and said enthusiastically: “If it were you, how would you deal with such a literary thief?”

Zhu Zhanji actually bowed his head, thought carefully, and finally highlighted four words: “Family and family extermination!”

Zhu Zhanji said it firmly!

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji in surprise, and all the officials couldn’t help trembling.

No matter whether he is busy or not, looking at a young man, when he talks about killing people, he doesn’t even blink his eyes. It’s impossible if he doesn’t feel horrified.

So Zhu Di was shocked, and couldn’t help asking: “Why?”

Zhu Zhanji said frankly: “If the thieves of this article are about to punish their hearts, neither the emperor nor the sun ministers are their opponents. As for uncle, although uncle reads it with his age in mind, if he is not in harmony with this article The thieves are reasonable, but they are vulnerable. Since the reasoning does not make sense, then we have to use the means that the emperor is best at. Only in this way can we solve this problem. What’s more, what they are involved in is treason, treason Clan extermination, this is the law of the ancestors, and since there are laws, one cannot favoritism.”

Zhu Di couldn’t help laughing and said: “But if such a person is killed, then thousands of scholars in future generations will scold me severely.”

Zhu Zhanji looked serious and said: “Uncle said that only great destruction can lead to great success. There is no one who has achieved great things in the past without being scolded. People should have their own standards to measure whether a thing is good or bad. Why care about others?” What about the criticism?”

Zhu Di looked at the man at this time and said, “Is what my grandson said makes sense?”

The man’s face was miserable, and he choked up and said: “Caomin prays that His Majesty spare Caomin’s life. From now on, I wish… to be your majesty’s eagle dog.”

Zhu Di smiled: “It’s too late to be an eagle dog now. My grandson’s words are my words. I opened this golden mouth. How can I break my promise?”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di said, “Let the grandson decide this case.”

Then, Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and said, “Who else is involved in this matter, Jin Yiwei will take care of it as soon as possible.”

Zhang Anshi glanced at the ministers, and then said: “Your Majesty, there are quite a few people among the officials.”

Zhu Di did not hesitate at all, and immediately said a word: “Take it!”

“Here.”

A directory was taken out from Zhang Anshi’s sleeve.

Then, Zhang Anshi began to roll the roll.

Zhang Anshi’s voice was very steady, but it seemed like a reminder.

Every time one person is mentioned, some people say that they are wronged, some people collapse, and some pretend to be strong, and they just smile coldly.

In this situation, for the officials, it seems that the days are like years, and the time passes very slowly.

A person is charged.

Someone was very sad and shouted: “Your Majesty, don’t dare again.”

Another human said: “It was him, he instigated it. At that time, I was just instigated by others…”

Listening to these noisy voices, Zhu Di just felt bored.

He had a cold face, a pair of tiger eyes, and never looked at these familiar faces.

More than thirty people were singled out one by one.

The lieutenants rushed forward and pushed him to the ground.

The voice of begging for mercy is endless.

Zhu Di finally ordered: “Remember to raid the house!”

Leaving this sentence aside, Zhu Di didn’t want to stay any longer, and simply drove away.

Zhang Anshi held the handle of the knife at his waist, stood in place, let out a sigh of relief, and then shouted: “Take it down.”

The lieutenants immediately twisted and dragged away.

The rest of the ministers all looked quite nervous.

Yang Rong was still calm, and said: “Everyone should perform their duties.”

As he spoke, he immediately took a step ahead, and everyone had to disperse.

Watching those ministers leave one by one, Zhu Zhanji moved closer to Zhang Anshi, grinned and said, “Uncle, how do you see me doing?”

“It’s okay.” Zhang Anshi felt relieved.

But right now, there are still many things to do. The first thing to do is to stabilize the situation in Taiping Mansion. Solving hidden dangers is a problem. How to regain confidence and promote development is the most important thing.

Zhu Zhanji said: “The emperor taught me to deal with it. I plan to wipe out all these people. What do you think, Uncle?”

Zhang Anshi took a deep look at Zhu Zhanji, and then said: “If Emperor Taizu Gao and His Majesty, what would they do?”

Zhu Zhanji immediately said: “Of course it is also an extermination.”

Zhang Anshi said: “This is your fault. You can clearly say that the law of the ancestors should be used to deal with it, but you have to say that I think the family should be exterminated. The former is to abide by the ancestral system, and the latter shows your ruthlessness.” , a person should not easily show his ruthlessness, but should say the most beautiful words and deal with the most ruthless hands.”

After hearing this, Zhu Zhanji opened his eyes slightly, showing a look of sudden realization, and said: “I understand, just like my uncle on weekdays, always saying no, no, but in fact…but he has already put things in his own In my arms.”

Zhang Anshi’s face suddenly turned cold, and he said angrily: “Nonsense, when did you see it! Well, leave the matter of the chaotic party to me. But right now, the most important thing is to stabilize people’s hearts. You are the third class in the Taiping Mansion. Officials, at this time, they should go to various prefectures and counties to report the imperial court’s will on the new policy, this is the top priority.”

Zhu Zhanji said: “But I think killing people is more enjoyable.”

Zhang Anshi sighed: “Killing people will leave trauma, but saving people is different. Saving people can cause people’s joy and satisfaction. So let uncle deal with such bad things. You should explain it clearly to the soldiers and civilians.” alright.”

Zhu Zhanji showed a little puzzlement, frowned and said: “But aren’t we killing evil people?”

“Who says they are evil people?” Zhang Anshi said in surprise: “Likes and dislikes are relative, just like in your eyes, your grandpa is the first-class good man in the world, but in the eyes of Jianwen’s courtiers? The same I am your uncle, do you also think that uncle is a good person… But in the eyes of some people, uncle is still heinous.”

Zhu Zhanji: “…”

“Okay, let’s leave it alone, hurry up and do things properly, Uncle still has a lot of things to deal with at hand.”

Zhang Anshi waved his hand and let out a sigh of relief.

Next, some people are busy.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. Any one of these people who were killed has a huge influence in today’s world.

The killing of these people will inevitably lead to certain consequences.

For example, if you feel happy, you will feel happy, but if you feel unhappy, you will definitely hate the court.

When Zhang Anshi returned to Qixia, it was already late at night.

The sky was covered with stars, and Zhang Anshi sat down with a tired face. He continued to look at the dossiers organized by the Tiqi during the day.

At this time, someone appeared on Zhang Anshi’s desk, and then sent the latest report to Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi looked up in astonishment, only to realize that he was a civil servant.

The clerk also looked very tired, but at the same time, he looked at Zhang Anshi with a very different look. Those eyes were very sharp, but they did not harbor any kindness.

“Who are you?” Zhang Anshi frowned and said, “What’s your name?”

This person was stunned for a moment, but still said: “Your official, Yu Qian!”

When Zhang Anshi heard the word Yu Qian, he couldn’t help squinting his eyes and looking at this person.

He observed the young man carefully. He was very young, but he looked stable, but… he seemed very unhappy.

Zhang Anshi then smiled and said: “How long have you been in Changshi Mansion.”

“Three days.”

Zhang Anshi reached out and picked up the teacup on the table. Instead of bowing his head to drink tea, he nodded and said, “In three days, I have gradually become familiar with the work at hand. Are you used to it? How about room and board?”

Yu Qian pursed his lips, looking unmoved, but seemed very calm: “I have arranged a place to live, and the food is good, but I am not used to it.”

“Why aren’t you used to it?” Zhang Anshi couldn’t help but wondered.

Yu Qian pursed his lips and remained silent again, but after a while, he suddenly raised his head and said: “In the eyes of outsiders, this is a rich and noble place, but in the eyes of subordinate officials, this county palace is just like the palace of the king of hell!”

“Kangdang…” Zhang Anshi’s hand holding the teacup trembled, and then the teacup fell to pieces.
