Zhu Di quickly ordered people to summon Zhang Anshi to see him.
When Zhang Anshi saw Zhu Di, he grinned and said: "Your Majesty...what are your orders?"
Zhu Di glanced at him and said, "I heard that there are many scholars causing trouble?"
"Yes." Zhang Anshi put away his smile and put on a sad and angry face and said: "It was very violent, and he even beat people to death and actually drove them crazy."
Zhu Di said: "Driving crazy..."
Zhang Anshi himself was numb and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Zhu Di saw that he had a troubled look on his face, so he asked the question: "How did you drive him crazy? How did you get crazy?"
"It's Li Shimian..." Zhang Anshi said with a bitter smile: "He...he..."
"What's up with him?"
Zhang Anshi looked unspeakable: "For some unknown reason, he was running naked on the street... eating feces..."
Zhu Di actually smiled a bit when he heard that Li Shimian was "crazy".
But the smile was short-lived, and in the blink of an eye, Zhu Di's face dropped.
Zhang Anshi buried his head, feeling surprisingly embarrassed in the palace.
Zhu Di put his hands behind his back and raised his head. He was silent for a long time before saying, "Are you really crazy?"
Zhang Anshi said helplessly: "This is unknown."
Zhu Di sighed and said: "I thought he must be pretending to be crazy and acting stupid!"
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty...how can you see this?"
As soon as the voice fell, a murderous gaze suddenly fell on Zhang Anshi.
Everyone in Zhang An froze and immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes, he must be pretending to be crazy. Your Majesty... this person cannot be kept."
"That's all." Zhu Di rolled his sleeves and said, "How do you plan to end this matter?"
"We have to let them be in chaos for a while." Zhang Anshi said: "Nowadays, many scholars and gentry have nowhere to vent their anger. Instead of letting them fight against the New Deal, it is better... to let them stir up chaos themselves."
"Why the chaos?"
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "The fish's eyes are mixed with pearls."
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi in surprise.
Zhang Anshi continued with a smile: "This is just the beginning. I have also prepared a combination package. Your Majesty, please take a look..."
As he spoke, Zhang Anshi took out a long list from his sleeve and said: "Here...I ordered the Jin Yiwei to draw up a list, and according to the scholars and gentry in this list...the top...threw out
information."
"Huh?" Zhu Di took the roster, squinted and looked at it carefully.
It was densely packed with names of various people, including ministers, great Confucians, and gentry.
Zhu Di asked while watching: "What news...is this throwing out?"
Zhang Anshi said casually: "For example, the censor Liu De, I said, he colluded with me and secretly revealed to me the movements of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Zhu Di subconsciously said: "Did he reveal it?"
Zhang Anshi said: "No."
Zhu Di said: "Then why do you say he revealed it?"
"This man is eloquent..."
"Being able to speak eloquently, doesn't it mean that...it can clarify one's innocence?"
"Here's the problem. He is eloquent, but the number of people he can persuade is limited. That is, if he wants to be true and false, and false and true, among the scholars, some will believe him, and some will think he is a clever tongue.
Ruhuang is actually closely related to Jinyiwei, so... there will be greater controversy. To put it bluntly, the truth is not important. What is important is... everyone has the truth they want, and there will be controversy.
, there will be something dirty..."
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, "That's all?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Of course it is not just relying on this, but throwing out hot spots one by one to overwhelm scholars. Today we find that someone is colluding with His Highness the King of Shu, and tomorrow we find that someone... and supports the New Deal... let this discussion last forever.
can not stop."
Zhu Di looked at him thoughtfully and said: "But if it is finally clarified and someone knows the truth, will they still be fooled?"
Zhang Anshi laughed: "Why not? People don't learn lessons! What's more, even if some people remember the lessons, some people don't remember them. In this way, wouldn't it be different between those who remember the lessons and those who don't remember them?
Are they going to start a fight again and attack each other? So, instead of letting them attack the New Deal together, it would be better to let them kill each other and blame each other."
Zhu Di couldn't help laughing: "How come such a good Jin Yiwei does this kind of thing all day long?"
Zhang Anshi smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, actually... I just let them practice their skills."
Zhu Di looked puzzled: "Practice?"
Zhang Anshi said: "I set up a special Thousand Household Office in the guard... The responsibilities of this special Thousand Household Office are different from those of the ordinary Jinyi Guard."
Zhu Di asked with great interest: "What does Qianhu Station do?"
"This, this... is what I am doing now."
Zhu Di's eyes widened: "What's the use of this thing? Is it spreading rumors and causing trouble all the time?"
Zhang Anshi said in a very determined tone: "Your Majesty, this thing is of great use. If used well, a thousand-household residence can be worth three model camps."
Zhu Di saw Zhang Anshi's excitement. He didn't say anything more. He just waved his hand and said, "It's up to you."
"There's one more thing..." Zhang Anshi said: "Thousands of thousands of households in this place..."
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi with suspicion. Seeing that Zhang Anshi was hesitant for a while, he couldn't help but asked: "Who is it?"
Under Zhu Di's gaze, Zhang Anshi finally said: "It's His Royal Highness King Yi!"
"Is it that bastard Zhu?" Speaking of Zhu, Zhu Di looked like he had a headache.
This guy... doesn't look like a descendant of Emperor Taizu Gao at all. No matter how you look at it... he looks like a weasel. It's really a shame for the clan.
When Zhu Di originally let him enter the official school, he hoped that this guy would become an upright man.
But the man has become stronger, but his temperament has not changed much.
Zhu Di looked unsure and sighed: "He can also be a thousand households?"
Zhang Anshi suddenly felt a little aggrieved for Zhu, and immediately said: "After His Highness King Yi came out of the official school, he entered the Jinyi Guards. After that... he successively served as the school captain, the small flag, and the general flag. This time, the special Qianhu Institute was established.
, because there is an urgent need for manpower, and His Highness King Yi has expertise, so I gave him this post after careful consideration..."
Zhu Di said, "Just get used to him and see how long he can be willful! This boy... damn, I personally raised him in the palace, not to mention that he has the blood of Emperor Taizu Gao, even if he is
He is surrounded by me, but he is not like me at all. He hangs out with women all the time, and sure enough..."
As he spoke, Zhu Di shook his head.
Zhu Di had to admit that his education failed.
But he felt like he was stuck in his throat, so he couldn't say that this guy's education was outrageous.
After all... King Yi was raised by Empress Xu. Doesn't this mean scolding Empress Xu?
Just letting such a guy... hang around like this, I can't help but be unwilling to do so, and I want to teach him a lesson, but this guy is stubborn and restless.
With this thought in his mind, Zhu Di raised his head and gave Zhang Anshi a meaningful look. In his understanding, Zhang Anshi established the so-called special Qianhu Office just to house Yiwang Zhu, so that it would appear that Yiwang was of some use.
.
But in fact, what can be achieved by fanning the flames and spreading rumors to cause trouble?
Think about Emperor Taizu Gao, a commoner who laid down the country today. Among his sons, he was as strong as the King of Xiang, as brave as himself and King Ning, and even as wise as the King of Shu. Among these many sons, there are really only a few.
Coward.
Only the youngest son is so incompetent.
"That's okay." Zhu Di said with a bit of frustration.
If the vassal had not been moved, Zhu Di would actually wish that all the vassal kings were useless.
But now... it's different. Instead, Zhu Di needs to rely on his brave brothers. Now...
Regarding King Yi, he could only comfort himself: "This guy... let him do whatever he wants, just take care of him."
Zhu Di once had the idea of asking King Yi to become a vassal, but thinking about this guy... he was afraid that if he really went overseas, his body would be gone. After thinking about it, it was relatively safer in Jinyiwei.
Zhang Anshi thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. In the future...His Royal Highness King Yi is smart and gifted with special talents. In the future... he will definitely become a blockbuster..."
"Okay, don't say these words to me. Next time in front of Queen Xu, brag about King Yi. It's also good to make her happy."
Zhang Anshi knew that it would be difficult to convince His Majesty to change his view of King Yi, so he chuckled and did not continue.
At this moment...
Sudden……
There was a roar.
In this Forbidden City, the doors and windows are trembling.
The ground collapsed.
Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi suddenly changed their expressions.
A eunuch rushed in from outside and shouted in a panic: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... the ground collapsed... the ground collapsed..."
But the movement only trembled and seemed to have stopped.
Zhu Di said with a sullen face: "Everything is fine, why did the ground collapse?"
Zhang Anshi immediately said: "According to the induction of heaven and man, someone must have done something that is outrageous and resentful."
Zhu Di: "..."
Zhang Anshi said: "I saw with my own eyes...that man named Li Shimian pretending to be crazy and talking nonsense. He must have offended God."
At this moment when Zhu Di was in shock.
Immediately afterwards, another eunuch came: "Your Majesty... it's not a collapse of the earth... it's not a collapse of the earth, there was an explosion, a violent explosion..."
Zhang Anshi was shocked, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said: "Where...it exploded somewhere..."
"Shang... Shangyuan County..."
Shangyuan County...
Zhang Anshi felt relieved. Shangyuan County belonged to Yingtian Mansion and had nothing to do with him.
Zhu Di said: "How much is the loss?"
The eunuch said in embarrassment: "This... this... I don't know, but the Grand Eunuch has already sent someone to inquire about it."
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Shu has just been appointed as the Governor of the Left, but now something has happened in Shangyuan County. I think... this has nothing to do with the Governor of the Left. This must be Yin Tianfu, who usually... does nothing.
…”
Zhu Di flicked his sleeves and said with a cold face: "We will wait until there is new news."
After a while, another eunuch came to announce: "Your Majesty, all the scholars and ministers from various ministries are here to see you."
Zhu Di said: "Xuan."
After a while, Yang Rong and others filed in.
Obviously he came here for this news.
Almost everyone looked worried. With such a huge explosion, everyone's first reaction was Zhang Anshi's question.
So walking into the hall, everyone looked at Zhang Anshi meaningfully.
Zhang Anshi immediately understood the unkind look and said anxiously: "Masters... Masters... this is Shangyuan County... something happened in Shangyuan County..."
Yang Rong wondered: "There is so much gunpowder in Shangyuan County?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Isn't it necessary?"
Zhu Di said: "There is no need to argue now... The most urgent task now is to check the damage first."
All the ministers seemed uneasy.
It's so scary, it will explode if you tell it to.
Then, another eunuch came and said: "Your Majesty, all the princes and nobles want to see you."
Because the matter involved gunpowder, all the princes and marquises of the Fifth Army Commandery Mansion came to see him one after another. "
Zhu Di looked at everyone at this time: "The Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, has gunpowder been stored in Shangyuan County?"
Qiu Guogong Qiu Fu said: "No... there has never been..."
He was anxious mainly because his son was Qiu Song.
In the past few years, he has developed a psychological shadow. Whenever an explosion is involved, he feels that nine times out of ten, his son is the perpetrator.
There was such a big explosion today, and I don’t know what happened to Qiu Song.
"Your Majesty... this is indeed too dangerous. I think..." Jin Zhong said at this time: "I think that this is probably a problem with the firearms workshop. The firearms workshop is placed at the feet of the emperor. The danger is real.
It’s too big. Now...the Ministry of War...as long as there is any trouble, many family members will come to the Ministry of War to ask for people..."
Zhu Di was puzzled: "You want someone...who do you want?"
Jin Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "Two years ago, a group of descendants of honorable ministers suddenly disappeared. No one was seen alive or dead. Although Duke Wei repeatedly said that this was some major military incident and was involved, but the family members
I believed it at first, but now, I believe that... these people... are afraid that in some accident, their bones will be gone, so... Duke Wei is hiding it..."
Zhu Di seemed to have remembered something and glanced at Zhang Anshi: "Yes, where are Xu Jingchang and the others?"
Zhang Anshi suddenly woke up and said, "Yes, Xu Jingchang and the others...haven't they gone home yet?"
"..."
There was a deathly silence in this palace.
At this moment, all the civil servants and generals went crazy.
The civil servants were fine, but Jin Zhong was the only one who was unlucky. He had to think of ways to appease the families of these generals every day.
But the military ministers were different. Among them, Dingguo Duke Xu Jingchang and Zhang Anshi's father-in-law were involved.
Wei Guogong Xu Huizu was looking at Zhang Anshi with a shocked look.
In addition, there are Meng Wen, the son of Meng Shan, the Marquis of Baoding, Wang Xiang, the son of Wang Zhong, the Marquis of Jing'an, and Xu Zhengye, the son of Xu Xiang, the Bo of Xing'an.
Only then did Zhang Anshi remember that there seemed to be such a thing.
He did...send a group of people to that huge workshop.
However, the implementation of the New Deal has always been inseparable, so Zhang Anshi naturally forgot about it.
Occasionally thinking about it, he couldn't help but wonder why he hadn't seen that guy Xu Jingchang recently.
But now...seeing everyone looking at him with strange eyes, Zhang Anshi immediately said: "Yes, this matter involves military aircraft..."
Then Baoding Hou Mengshan became anxious: "If you stop prevaricating, tell me whether you are dead or alive?"
"I think... I think... he should still be alive."
"Where are they?" Meng Shan's heart sank to the bottom.
Zhang Anshi said angrily: "I am...at the research institute of Qixia Army Workshop...on business..."
Everyone is still full of doubts, you look at me, I look at you.
Duke Xu Hui of Wei said: "It's been two years, how could there be no news at all? Let these children go home quickly."
Not to mention other people, let’s just talk about Dingguo Duke Xu Jingchang. He was one of the few great contributors to Jingnan, not to mention the nephew of Queen Xu and Wei Guogong. His father... also died in Jingnan. This
It can be said that he is the only Miao Miao in the Dingguogong lineage.
Although these guys usually do mischief in the capital, even if they are a group of prodigal sons, it is better than disappearing from the world.
Under so many eyes, Zhang Anshi felt full of pressure and nodded quickly: "Isn't this... to let them... to make them change their minds? I... I will turn around... I will turn around..."
"There's no need to look back." Zhu Di was also a little anxious: "Let them go home immediately."
Zhang Anshi was about to say yes.
At this time... Yi Shiha came in a hurry and said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... it has been found out, it has been found out... it is... it is from the Qixia Military Workshop Research Institute..."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's expression changed.
Suddenly he yelled: "Fuck you, where's my knife..."
Someone roared angrily.
But it was Mengshan, Marquis of Baoding.
Zhang Anshi's mind suddenly buzzed.
Wei Guogong had quick eyesight and quick hands, and immediately hugged Baoding Hou Mengshan: "Don't worry, don't worry... I'm not dead yet..."
Qiu Fuchang finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little dazed. Finally... I have nothing to worry about.
So he went to help and persuaded: "Forget it, forget it, life and death are fate..."
There was chaos in the palace for a while.
Zhu Di was stunned and could no longer care about the chaos in the palace. His first reaction was, how can he explain this to Queen Xu?
Zhang Anshi was also a little confused for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Didn't...didn't you say...it was bombed in Shangyuan County?"
"It was... bombed by Shangyuan County, but... but..." the eunuch said: "It was just people from the research institute... who went to Shangyuan County specifically to bomb it."
Zhang Anshi: "..."
With such a violent explosion, nine times out of ten, someone should have been vaporized.
Zhang Anshi said dully: "I... I didn't let them do this, I only taught... taught them to behave themselves..."
Zhu Di grimaced, and finally shouted: "That's enough, go take a look and see what happened..."
After a roar, finally... the chaos stopped.
…………
Western suburb of Shangyuan County.
A group of people were in shock.
Everyone crawled out from the layers of floating soil.
In the distance...the flames shot into the sky.
A young man wiped the dirt on his face, blinked his eyes, and ignored the embarrassment all over his body. He said with a bit of joy: "It's okay, it's okay... Fortunately, I'm smart and came here."
Yuanxian experiment, if not..."
"Brother Xu, Brother Xu..." A little man ran over like crazy and said with tears: "It failed again. It seems... our cylinder can't bear it at all..."
"It's all your fault... you have to add so much kerosene to it. Who told you to fortify the gunpowder? A bunch of lunatics!" The man slapped the loose soil on his body, cursed for a while, and then suddenly said: "How is it?
Are you okay? Are you okay?"
"I'm going to take a look...it's not good...there are many people rushing here..."
But I saw a group of people who looked like farmers, holding poles, hoes and other items, rushing towards them menacingly.
"We have destroyed many of their thatched houses. Those who come to settle accounts with us should run, run quickly!"
Someone slipped away, and with lightning speed, disappeared without a trace.
The rest of the people... no longer cared about lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, but actually stood up one by one and ran very fast.
Some people did not forget to say: "Everyone needs to protect the scene. We will conduct surveys later... we need to record the experimental data... I'm leaving first."
Only a group of craftsmen were left, standing dumbfounded. They reacted slower, mainly because they didn't have the consciousness to run away subconsciously when they heard any noise.
So... they looked at each other in confusion at this time, and by the time they reacted, they were surrounded by farmers running from a distance.
Someone grabbed them and yelled angrily: "See the official, go see the official..."
A craftsman stumbled and said: "I...I...this has nothing to do with us. It was them...they did it...They said...Shangyuan County...is the best place to do this...if something happens, run away."
...Fleeing back, Shangyuan County police officers have to pursue them across the border...The procedures are also cumbersome...Oh...it has nothing to do with me, I was opposed to it at the beginning...Oh, why do you beat someone..."
At this time, a group of young people and teenagers had already disappeared without a trace.
After a while, the group of people hid in the military workshop.
Within this high wall, they suddenly... found a sense of security.
So... everyone couldn't help but be very proud, one of them said: "Brother is really awesome, our Thirteen Taibao of Qixia... all of us are very skilled with our feet."
This man, who was called the eldest brother, was even more proud. He crossed his hands and raised his head slightly and said: "At last, we have not forgotten our skills. Fortunately, I reacted quickly."
Some people were worried and asked: "What will Carpenter Liu and the others do?"
"Don't be afraid." The eldest brother continued to cross his hands and said: "Those who can't die, when the time comes... my brother-in-law will take action and I will definitely get them back."
"Are they going to get beaten?"
The eldest brother shook his head and said: "I think...well...it shouldn't be..."
"Hey..." The elder brother immediately beat his chest and said: "It seems... this method is wrong. It is clear that our method is right, but why can't it be done?"
"Maybe it's a material problem?"
"Could it be a burning problem..."
"I think...it's a structural problem."
Everyone expressed their thoughts in a hurry.
The elder brother held his chin, looking thoughtful, and said after a while: "It's a pity... what a pity... ugh... let's think of another way, but it's a pity that Carpenter Liu and the others are not here... otherwise... we can discuss it with them again.
Discuss. Let’s go back and look at my brother-in-law’s notes. Maybe we missed something.”
Everyone immediately started to hang their heads again, looking regretful.
But at this moment... there was already a group of people marching towards Shangyuan County in a mighty manner.
