Zhou Yan just froze on the spot, looking at Zhang Anshi with blank eyes, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
He looked at the scraps of paper that Zhang Anshi had crumpled up, and then when the scraps of paper were thrown up, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's edict scattered in the wind.
Zhou Yan opened his mouth, but still couldn't speak.
Zhang Anshi chuckled lightly, with a hint of joking in his smile, and said: "Are there any other edicts or imperial edicts? Bring them all and show them to me."
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Yan with a serious look.
There was silence in the hall, everyone looked at Zhang Anshi without saying a word.
But if you look closely, it is not difficult to see that from the moment Zhang Shian walked in, everyone's eyes were dim, but now they became brighter and brighter, with joy in their eyes.
Zhang Anshi continued to look at Zhou Yan aggressively.
At this time, Zhou Yan had obviously become the target of public criticism. His expression flashed with panic, but he tried hard to calm down.
He forced out a smile and said: "Captain...this is the Crown Prince's edict after all. I'm afraid the Governor's words must be true."
He seemed to be kindly reminding Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi's eyes suddenly widened a bit, revealing a look of rage. With a movement of his body, he raised his leg and kicked Zhou Yan over. He said angrily: "Felling the truth? The only thing I, Zhang Anshi, am not afraid of in this life is falling."
The population is telling the truth! How come you dare to disturb Tai Sui by asking for an edict whose authenticity is hard to tell?"
Although Zhang Anshi's martial arts value was not high, he was still young and had some strength. Zhou Yan was directly kicked to the ground by his sudden kick, and he was like a bastard who fell to the ground.
But he hurriedly turned over in embarrassment, ignoring the pain on his body, bowed down and kowtowed: "Captain, I am humble enough to act under orders."
Zhang Anshi's eyes were filled with cold light and he said sternly: "Whose order are you following?"
"Mrs……"
Zhang Anshi shouted: "My brother-in-law, would you give such an order? When death is imminent, you still want to pour dirty water on my brother-in-law's head?"
Zhou Yan was so frightened that he trembled and said in panic: "No, it's not the prince, it's... it's..."
"Who is it?" Zhang Anshi said coldly.
Zhou Yan said hurriedly: "That's...it's just a humble act of self-assertion."
Zhang Anshi pointed at Zhou Yan and said to the people around him: "You see, he admitted it himself. He falsely passed on the edict, which is a heinous crime and deserves death. This is what he said himself, and I did not force him."
Chen Li and others were all staring at Zhou Yan. At this moment, they already knew very well that Zhou Yan... was going to die without a complete body.
After Zhou Yan heard this, he immediately howled: "Commander...Commander...you taught me what to say, I...I..."
Zhang Anshi sneered: "The person who ordered you to come here must be someone else."
Hearing these words, Zhou Yan shuddered violently again and did not dare to say anything anymore.
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Anshi said slowly and calmly: "You don't have to tell me, this is the Jinyi Guard, this is Nanzhen Fusi. If I want you to speak, I will naturally have all kinds of means. Are you afraid that you won't be able to speak? You are my guard.
My brother in the army, commanding and envoys, has a good reputation, but he wants to be humble and a thief. If so, then naturally I will help you."
Zhou Yan's face became increasingly pale, and he kowtowed with tears in his eyes: "Spare my life."
Zhang Anshi said: "If I spare you, will the brothers in Nanzhen Fusi be willing to spare you? Will my brother-in-law spare you? Can the national laws and family rules spare you?"
Zhou Yan was already kneeling on the ground. He could not understand the situation at this time.
Zhang Anshi didn't want to look at him anymore, so he just turned around and said: "Take this man down and interrogate him fiercely. I will definitely find out who is behind it."
"Here."
Everyone was excited.
This week Zhou Yan was dragged down like a dead dog.
Zhang Anshi's face was solemn at this time, and he immediately said: "Gather the people and follow me into the palace to protect you."
Without any hesitation, everyone said in unison: "Here."
Zhang Anshi said that Zhou Yan's so-called edict was not an edict; it was not an edict.
But Zhang Anshi said he wanted to escort him, but no one questioned him.
For this reason, even if Zhang Anshi asked everyone to line up to eat excrement, no one would have any objection.
So everyone quickly dispersed and went to prepare.
Only Chen Li stepped forward and said: "It would be great if the Governor can come back safely."
Zhang Anshi said: "I sent you a letter from Jiangxi, did you receive it?"
Chen Li did not dare to neglect and said hurriedly: "I have already received it."
"Where's the letter?"
"Burned."
Zhang Anshi: "..."
Chen Li said: "Things have changed. When I received the letter, the prince's edict came. Zhou Yan immediately restrained the Jin Yiwei. I wanted to see what Zhou Yan and others did this time. So this
It is a secret letter that has not been shown to anyone. Of course, this is a humble and self-inflicted decision, and it will definitely lead to death."
Zhang Anshi nodded: "Did you find out anything?"
Chen Li raised his head, his eyes were blazing, and he said word by word: "Just a Zhou Yan is nothing. The breadth of involvement behind him is breathtaking."
"Very good." Zhang Anshi patted him on the shoulder, with a look of relief in his eyes, and said: "According to the situation, you can now take charge of yourself. Now it's important to protect yourself. You can continue to investigate this clue. Remember... you have to follow the clues and find out the clues.
Don’t let it go.”
Chen Li nodded: "I used to be a mere member of a thousand households. If it weren't for the support of the governor, how would I have thought that I would be here today? The governor's kindness will never be forgotten, so please rest assured, governor."
Zhang Anshi nodded.
He is still very satisfied with Chen Li. He is steady, meticulous, able to do everything without showing his face, and most importantly, loyal.
"Oh, that's right." Zhang Anshi suddenly said: "This Jin Yiwei also needs to be rectified."
Chen Li was stunned: "I wonder what the governor means..."
Zhang Anshi said: "Like Zhou Yan, all the military attachés transferred from other pro-armies were dismissed or assigned to other pro-armies. From now on, the candidates for all middle and high-level military attachés within Jinyiwei will be considered by the governor. Personal Guards
From now on, you don’t need to pay attention to the opinions of the government office. Intermediate military attachés must come from official schools in the future. Those who are still in the thousands or hundreds of households can stay in their posts. After a few years, if they are capable
They can stay, and if they are not capable enough, they can be given a casual job to provide for their retirement."
Chen Li said: "I understand."
Zhang Anshi said: "You can handle this matter quietly. All the candidates will be compiled into a book and shown to me."
"Well. But..." Chen Li said with some worry: "Captain, if everything up and down is arranged by our guards, the personal guards... our Jinyi Guards have too much authority. I'm afraid that some people will be dissatisfied and spread the word.
Say anything unfavorable to the governor."
Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "You won't believe it even if I say it. This is what His Majesty meant."
"Ah...this..." Chen Li indeed had a look of astonishment on his face.
But Zhang Anshi continued: "Of course, I also intend to do this. What the Jinyi Guards want is to be like an iron barrel, airtight, not subject to any influence from the personal guards and officials, and to be unique. If not,
How can we deal with the endless stream of rebels in the future?"
As he spoke, Zhang Anshi took a deep look at Chen Li and continued: "Your Majesty is going to implement the New Deal. It will be a matter of time. In the future, it will be a real pain for many people. Your Majesty is going to perform an operation on the whole world."
, do you know about surgery? And our Jin Yiwei is this scalpel. If the knife is not sharp enough, then what is the use of this Jin Yiwei? So..."
Zhang Anshi mused: "Jinyiwei will also set up an internal affairs department to review the records of the Weizhong Official School and check their backgrounds to ensure that everyone is foolproof. People like Zhou Yan will never appear again. The internal affairs department is here
, teach this boy Chen Daowen to take responsibility."
After hearing this, Chen Li said: "He is still too young, I'm afraid..."
Zhang Anshi said: "What I'm afraid of are those people who get old, learn to be slick, and then hang up a copybook of 'It's rare to be confused' in their own room."
Chen Li was startled, and then said: "I understand what the governor meant."
Zhang Anshize asked again: "This Zhou Yan, what has he done in the past few days?"
"I have been promoted to some official schools, but other than that, I hope to be transferred to Zhenjiang..."
Zhang Anshi snorted coldly and said: "Every official school he was promoted to will be dismissed from his post. No one will be retained."
Chen Li hesitated for a moment and said, "There are some people who may not be his party members..."
Zhang Anshi said: "Don't leave impurities. I said, we should be like an iron bucket. If you feel aggrieved by some people, then find a way to transfer them to other pro-army groups. If that doesn't work, you can also recommend them to
Dongchang."
Chen Li sneered: "Dongchang has been hoping to transfer some people from us! I understand, I understand."
"That's right, I plan to recommend you as the Commander of the Imperial Guard."
"Ah..." Chen Li looked at Zhang Anshi in astonishment: "This is impossible."
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."
At this time, the troops of the brigade had already assembled.
The captains in fish uniforms were full of murderous intent. They stood with their swords drawn and led by Qianhu and Baihu to attack the capital.
Tiqi rode on Pegasus first and was responsible for clearing the road.
Another team of model battalions followed behind, setting up their formation and marching slowly.
Qixia.
This place has become the thoroughfare of the world.
But these days, I have experienced unimaginable ups and downs.
With the construction of the Jiangxi Railway, various business houses saw the opportunity and believed that the railway was about to be rolled out in the future, so...a large number of workshops began to expand production.
For a time, it could be described as extremely prosperous.
But the news that followed came one after another, directly teaching all the workshops to fall into a desperate situation.
Not even an inch of Jiangxi's railways had been repaired. When the news came out, steel, lumber, even cotton and all bulk commodities plummeted instantly.
This is conceivable.
I thought it was opening the door to a new world. Compared with the railways in Zhili, if railways in various provinces start to be built one after another in the future, this will be such a vast market.
After tasting the sweetness in Zhili, no businessman would want to miss such a good opportunity.
Although Zhang Anshi thought it was risky at the beginning, the vast majority of businessmen were engaged in a life of licking blood. As long as they had enough profits, it didn't matter if they took risks.
But they calculated the costs, calculated the market potential, calculated the profits, and even calculated the expenses required by the unspoken rules. The only thing they didn't calculate was... the human heart.
Immediately afterwards, the news came out that His Majesty and Zhang Anshi had died in Jiangxi, and the entire Qixia suddenly almost came to a standstill.
Everything they do today is based on the premise of the New Deal, and everyone knows that the overall backstage of this New Deal is His Majesty, and the real planner is Zhang Anshi.
Now that they are gone, no one knows what will happen tomorrow?
These merchants who have just grown up, as well as the soldiers and civilians who have just tasted some sweetness, have no power at this time.
They used to be fish, but now they are just fattier fish, ready to be slaughtered.
Amidst this wailing, almost everyone was in desperate situation, and all businesses seemed to be in a huge catastrophe.
Only at this time, the Jin Yiwei and the Model Battalion suddenly began to dispatch. Instead of causing worries among the soldiers and civilians in Qixia, on the contrary... suddenly people became a little calmer.
This may be the only legacy His Majesty and Duke Wei left to Qixia, or in other words, the entire Zhili.
A vast army of troops marched straight towards the capital.
Directly take over the city defense everywhere.
When the guards saw this, they were at a loss and obediently handed over their duties.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Anshi flew on horseback to meet Zhu Di.
Zhu Di is still in the boat.
He was not in a hurry and was waiting slowly.
At this time, Zhu Di was like a chess player. He made a move with confidence, and where the chess piece landed, the whole capital was boiling with whispers everywhere.
Zhang Anshi arrived in front of Zhu Di and said: "Your Majesty, the arrangements have been made."
Zhu Di nodded: "I asked someone to inquire about some things."
Zhu Di said slowly: "I heard... there is a problem with United Bank?"
"this……"
Zhu Di said: "Many merchants...are unable to make ends meet and have invested too much in the early stage. Now...bankruptcy is imminent, and the bank can no longer collect the money it lent?"
Zhang Anshi said: "In the past, many merchants pinned their hopes on Jiangxi's railways... Now..."
Zhu Di nodded: "There are still many merchants who are struggling to sell goods. I also heard that many workshops are laying off employees?"
Zhang Anshi said: "It should be so."
Zhu Di added: "Even my trading company... actually suffered a loss in its accounts this month?"
This trading company was Zhu Di's lifeblood and almost the main financial source of the internal funds. Every year, a steady stream of income was paid into the internal funds.
In recent years, under the management of Zhang Anshi and Zhu Jin, it can be said to be prosperous and rich.
Losing money was something Zhu Di could not imagine at all.
However, commercial banks are rooted in the entire commercial system of Zhili. It can be said that when one is prosperous, everyone is prosperous, and when one is damaged, everyone is harmed.
Once Zhili went into recession, the various commodities produced by the trading houses, as well as the various investments made at the time, would naturally be greatly affected.
Zhang Anshi also knew that Zhu Di valued the trading company, so he patiently explained: "I have already felt the danger, so in the past six months, the trading company's investment has been very restrained. Thinking about it, even if it loses money, it will not hurt the bones."
, I guess it is only a slight loss, but other merchants..."
Zhu Di couldn't help but lamented: "When I let these people in Jiangxi mess with the railway, I was digging my own grave."
Zhang Anshi was speechless for a moment.
That's right, you really did it yourself, but you can't blame me!
Zhu Di did not continue to feel sad and said: "Let's go and enter the palace."
"According to the decree."
Zhu Di went to the pier and stood there for a moment. There were already many school captains nearby, guarding him as tightly as an iron barrel.
Zhu Di walked leisurely and did not ride in the chariot.
Zhang Anshi held his sword and followed behind.
As soon as these two people moved, all the followers began to move.
There are Ti cavalry in front to clear the road, guards on both wings, and retinues behind.
A large number of people and horses headed straight for the Forbidden City.
…………
The Forbidden City is very strange.
The atmosphere was extremely depressing.
This is actually understandable, as the group of dragons has no leader.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered the palace early in the morning and went to see Empress Xu. Presumably he was afraid that his mother would be grieved, so he did not dare to leave without permission.
As for the officials, there are some who are worried about it, some who want to take advantage of the situation, and some who are secretly planning the layout. They all have their own agenda. Almost everyone is trying their best to get into Wenyuan Pavilion.
Ask for news.
This Wenyuan Pavilion is now full of carriages and horses, and everyone is waiting for news from His Highness the Crown Prince.
And in Wenyuan Pavilion, is it not the same?
At this time, Yang Rong was sitting upright, still working on the memorial at hand.
At this time, he could only act calmer.
Hu Guang and Jin Youzi can probably only do this. If even they panic at this time, it will make the floating people's hearts even more uncertain.
At this moment, Hu Guang suddenly saw a memorial and hurriedly came to Yang Rong.
"Mr. Yang."
Yang Rong raised his head, nodded towards him and said, "What?"
Hu Guang frowned and said: "This memorial is even strange. It is to impeach Jin Yiwei."
"Huh?" Yang Rong took the memorial and took a quick look: "So fast?"
Hu Guangdao: "Yeah, it's really too fast, but this is not directed at Duke Wei, but at the official schools in Jinyiwei, saying that they were illegal, framed up frame-ups, and killed loyal and good people. Although they named them
I know Chen Li, but... Duke Wei has just left... so impatient..."
Yang Rong didn't seem surprised at all and said calmly: "This is a test."
He paused and then said: "The person who is writing this memorial is just a mere censor, but I think I came here just to test His Highness the Crown Prince."
Hu Guang then said: "How can His Highness let him have his wish?"
Yang Rongdao: "Of course I won't let him get what he wants, but... the prince succeeds to the throne. After all, he doesn't have enough prestige. The new king has ascended the throne. At this time, is there any reason not to win over the people of the world? If he can't follow the good path at this time, then...
We will take this opportunity to cause trouble."
"Now it depends on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's reaction. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has any doubts or does not respond resolutely enough, then countless impeachment memorials will swarm in like a mountain and sea."
