When Zhu Di mentioned the word "gossip", he became furious.
Being in front of Queen Xu, Zhu Di tried his best and finally suppressed his anger.
So he added: "It seems that this matter must be done. If the name is not right, the words will not be right."
Queen Xu nodded and said, "Your Majesty, how should we handle this matter?"
Empress Xu already understood what Zhu Di meant, but after thinking about it, she also understood that this matter was not trivial. The key to the problem was that it had to be done, and it had to be done beautifully.
The ancients were the most particular about speaking truthfully and truthfully. But if there is even the slightest bit of criticism, it will inevitably lead to criticism.
Zhu Di smiled slightly and said: "This is easy to handle. As long as there are two people, it will be done. And these two people... I think the time has come."
He looked like he had the pearls of wisdom in his hands.
After Empress Xu heard this, she stopped asking further questions.
Even though Zhu Di was sometimes reckless, he was very meticulous in many aspects. Since he felt that there was a safe way, then this matter could definitely be accomplished.
After a while, I saw Zhu Di looking worried again, and said quietly: "What I am worried about now is the problem of Taiping Mansion. I heard that all industries are in depression, hey..."
Queen Xu said: "In the past few years, the internal funds have been abundant, which is indeed not unrelated to the Taiping Mansion. Now that something has gone wrong, Your Majesty should really pay attention to it."
Zhu Di stared at Queen Xu: "What, what do you have to say?"
Empress Xu smiled gently and said: "I am a woman, I don't have any high 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 committing regicide. It can be seen that
These people are crazy! Because of this, they jump over the wall in a hurry, but they don’t know what they will do. From my perspective, as a woman, if something goes wrong in Taiping Mansion now, it is even more difficult to guarantee that no one is secretly causing trouble.
"
After hearing this, Zhu Di took a deep breath and nodded: "I had expected this, these people...hehe..."
Zhu Di showed disdain and said coldly: "If we can't kill all these people, our Ming Dynasty will never have peace."
Empress Xu smiled sweetly and said: "Your Majesty, during the crisis in the past, no matter how difficult it was, it was just like this. If you think about it for the better, at least... most of what your Majesty and Zhang Qing wanted to do has been accomplished.
, If not, how could these people be so anxious as to jump over the wall?"
Zhu Di said: "This is not wrong. If it hadn't really hurt them, they might not have had the courage. After thinking about it, after all, the New Deal is very effective."
Queen Xu said: "Although I have lived in the palace for a long time these years, I know that people's hearts are the most difficult to control. For petty profits, or even just a job title, the eunuchs will fight, and the concubines in the harem will also fight.
As your Majesty just said, Emperor Taizu Gao even had to alienate his disciples in order to prevent them from competing for the throne. He also knew very well that if he did not do this and cut off people's thoughts, brothers would fight against each other. Throughout the dynasties, father and son would fight against each other.
Fighting, brothers fighting, ministers fighting, how often is it not life and death? How many things like this happen? Your Majesty should not be concerned about this, let alone be indignant."
Zhu Di said bitterly: "I treat them well, but they dare to do this. How can I not hate them?"
Empress Xu shook her head and smiled: "Because we can't have hatred. If people have hatred, they will inevitably be blinded by resentment and make irrational judgments."
"And your Majesty is someone who wants to achieve great things. At any time, he must be calmer than the people in the world. At any time, he must make better choices. The Nine-Fifth Lord holds the power of the world, and he has the power of thousands of people.
It attracts everyone's attention, and everyone is in awe, but it is inevitable that there will be ambitious people who will covet this great position. If even Your Majesty is blinded by resentment, how can you achieve great things?"
When Zhu Di heard this, his expression was stunned, and then he laughed dumbly and said: "You are right, I shouldn't be so angry that I shouldn't be irritable and impulsive at any time. Otherwise, it will lead to bad things."
Zhu Di, who was originally in a bad mood, felt relieved after being comforted by Empress Xu.
At that moment, he said leisurely: "It's a shame to go and pass it on. I have something to tell you."
………………
A secret edict was quickly sent to the Jiangxi Chief Envoy.
Liu Guan, the Minister of Rites, has gone crazy here.
Even Chen Daowen, the Jin Yiwei Qianhu who accompanied him on the case, felt that this guy was a bit unreasonable.
This is not investigating an imperial case, this is murder.
All the people involved in the railways ransacked their homes. They took the account books and compared them one by one. They first issued the driver's license and were called. Then they interrogated them all night. The next day, the Jin Yiwei started to search their homes.
As a result, the prison in Nanchang Prefecture was simply not enough, so all the government offices were turned into prisons.
Anyway, most of the officials in Nanchang Prefecture's government office have also been cleared out, just to free up space.
Liu Guan was extremely dissatisfied with Jin Yiwei. He always felt that Jin Yiwei was too polite. Liu Butang was a person who was sworn in with crime. He couldn't stand Jin Yiwei's style of being obedient, interrogating and then ransacking homes.
So he said dissatisfied to Chen Wendao: "It's too slow. If this continues, when will we be able to clean up the evil spirits in this place? Chen Qianhu, you Jinyiwei are too old-fashioned in doing things, so they just searched it out from the hands of the Wu family."
Just take all the books. Why are you so polite? The prison is overcrowded now. If this continues, where will there be room to accommodate so many prisoners? In my humble opinion, it is better to cut the knot with a sharp knife."
Chen Daowen looked at Liu Guan with a complicated expression, but still said: "Jinyiwei has the rules of Jinyiwei."
Liu Guan opened his eyes slightly and said with a look of hatred on his face: "Everyone will punish these traitors and traitors. If you don't show them any strength, they will think that the imperial court is weak! You don't know how greedy they are.
Where, let alone how arrogant they are, do you know that when they are arrogant, the Minister of Rites may not take them seriously, all they want is money!"
Chen Daowen said: "Mr. Liu, please calm down."
Liu Guan sighed and said: "Today's young people are not as angry as they used to be. I think back then, when Emperor Taizu Gao was here, how could he care about these things."
Chen Daowen was speechless for a moment.
"Mr. Liu."
At this moment, the clerk from the camp came quickly, walking in a hurry.
Liu Guan couldn't help but wonder when he saw it, and asked: "What's the matter?"
The civil servant said: "There is a decree coming from the palace."
Liu Guan was startled at first, and then he felt numb all over. He was most afraid of what the palace wanted!
Why?
He is worried that His Majesty will settle accounts later in life!
The official said again: "This is a secret decree."
Liu Guan hurriedly said: "Why don't you invite the angel in quickly?"
"It has been arranged in the study." The literary official said: "It is better to avoid a few people when talking about this matter."
Liu Guan did not dare to neglect, so he walked away quickly and hurried to the study.
Immediately, the eunuch waiting here gave Liu Guan a decree. After the eunuch left, Liu Guan carefully picked up the lamp, took the decree, and read it carefully silently.
Then, Liu Guan frowned and couldn't help but mutter: "When I was in Jiangxi, I didn't get a single penny from them. Instead, they almost took me away. When I got to the palace, I didn't even get a penny from them.
What’s the benefit, but now you’re teaching me to use it as a shield?”
He sighed for a while and was speechless.
…………
Zhang Anshi was punished for one day and soon resurrected with full health. At this time, Yang Pu came to the East Palace to see him.
Yang Pu obviously came here specifically for Zhang Anshi. Of course, he was also an official of Zhan Shifu and could have come and gone in the name of meeting the prince.
Zhu Zhanji sat high and Zhang Anshi sat on one side. What Yang Pu brought was a book.
The book is full of forms.
What was recorded was the situation in Taiping Mansion.
Yang Pu's expression was solemn. He looked at Zhang Anshi without saying a word.
Zhang Anshi, on the other hand, looked down at the various data with a slightly unhappy look on his face.
"The situation is actually worse than imagined."
"The data from various prefectures and counties may have discrepancies and inaccuracies, but the numbers from the Railway Department are real. The amount of cargo carried every month is clear. But the current situation is shocking.
I am very worried. Not only that, but many of the companies that used to have long-term cooperation with the Railway Department are now in recession. I have personally visited a few of them, and I am not optimistic."
Zhang Anshi said: "There's no rush, we can just recover."
"But the official is a little worried." Yang Pu looked at Zhang Anshi, with an obvious look of worry on his face, and said thoughtfully.
Zhang Anshi said: "There are no outsiders here, you just have to say whatever you want."
Yang Pu thought for a while and then said: "The official believes that the current depression in all industries is a general trend. But behind this general trend, it is more like someone is deliberately causing trouble. Now there are many people in Taiping Mansion who are fanning the flames and causing trouble.
It's also quite powerful. People are already in chaos now, and if someone does this deliberately, it will make it even worse."
Zhang Anshi looked a little more serious and said, "Who are they?"
"There are mostly scholars, but there are only a few scholars, or it's just the appearance..."
Zhang Anshi smiled coldly, and then said: "They are so anxious to jump over the wall now, but they think that they can't escape anyway, so they will die together."
Yang Pu nodded and said: "Commander here, I'm afraid we have to make plans early."
Zhang Anshi lowered his head slightly and thought for a moment, then said: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart. I don't want to see if they have any weight in playing with me."
After a pause, 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 and others. They were already eager to see what happened. They came to see Zhang Anshi one by one and told them one by one about the situation in Taiping Mansion.
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 felt something was wrong, which made them worried.
After Zhang Anshi heard this, he looked at someone and said, "Zhu Jin..."
"exist."
Zhang Anshi frowned and said: "From now on, all banks will suspend their business for a few days and say rectification."
Zhu Jin was shocked and said hurriedly: "Captain, the situation here at the bank... is already... not good. If it continues like this, I'm afraid... there will be a big mess."
Zhang Anshi, however, seemed calm and composed, saying: "Just do it like this. Damn it, don't they want to cause chaos? Then teach them how to be powerful."
Zhu Jin only felt that Zhang Anshi was a little crazy. Rather than solving the problem, it simply added fuel to the fire.
Zhang Anshi then looked at Chen Li: "Remove all the captains from the street. Don't take people everywhere."
Chen Li just glanced at Zhang Anshi strangely, but said without hesitation: "As ordered."
Zhang Anshi then looked at Gao Xiang: "Gaofu Yin."
"exist."
Zhang Anshi said: "Inform all prefectures and counties and teach them up and down to perform their duties step by step. Don't worry about other things."
Gao Xiang pondered for a while: "Captain, do you really not care?"
"No matter!" Zhang Anshi said resolutely: "What are you afraid of? The sky will not fall. I, Zhang Anshi, am back, and the model camp and Jin Yiwei are on standby. What can I do? But those people..."
Having said this, Zhang Anshi's casualness suddenly disappeared, and his face was filled with anger.
After being taught a lesson by his sister, he was worried that he had nowhere to vent his worries!
So he said: "Let them be buried with you for what happens next!"
After that, Zhang Anshi raised his hand and waved his sleeves and said: "According to orders, the conditions of each business house, each street, and each prefecture and county must still be reported to me at any time."
"yes."
One by one, they took the order and left their busy work. The room on duty was finally clean.
Zhang Anshi became calm and relaxed. The current situation seemed a bit chaotic. It would take a lot of effort to slowly sort it out or rectify certain people. Coupled with the current depression in all industries, it would inevitably lead to
The government is trying to prevent rats, but Zhang Anshi obviously has no intention of sorting it out slowly. What he wants is to cut through the mess with a sharp knife and see blood!
…………
People here in Qixia are already panicking. Bulk commodities have continued to plummet. Many merchants have hoarded goods that are unsaleable.
Chaos also began to appear on the streets. A kind of pamphlet is now popular on the street. Most of the pamphlets contain some rumors.
And here, someone has arrived in the capital quickly.
Somewhere in the capital.
A group of people sat silently, with their heads lowered and their faces ashen.
The imperial court has sealed off the capital, forming a trap of catching turtles in a urn. It is even more chilling that Jiang Chen was beaten to death by His Majesty in front of the ministers.
That kind of terrifying scene is like a dark cloud, shrouding everyone's mind.
Finally, someone said with difficulty: "Sooner or later...Sooner or later...Jin Yiwei will follow the clue..."
"Your Majesty has gone crazy, what else can't they do now?"
"We will definitely be affected. Hey, when they did this kind of thing in Jiangxi, I said they must never do it. The risk is too great, but the Wu family..."
"What's the use of talking about this now?"
Someone stood up and said angrily: "What's the point of sacrificing one's life for a real man? Since we are forced to do this, then let's just fight to the death."
"I don't know what else I have to say."
"It's making trouble, it's turning the world upside down." The angry person said: "After so many years of the New Deal, there has been a lot of trouble, and people are wailing all over the place, but what did they get in exchange? Isn't there a lot of complaints in Taiping Mansion now? In my opinion,
, then let’s teach the Taiping Mansion to cause more ferocity and turn the world upside down, just to show the world what this new policy is like.”
"Why are you making trouble? Why should I wait?"
"What kind of people like us teach the soldiers and civilians to make troubles? When the Qin Dynasty is destroyed, aren't there men like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang? When the Han Dynasty is destroyed, aren't the yellow turban traitors first? We teach the ignorant people first to make a big fuss, and that's it.
, that is, when I come out to tidy up the mountains and rivers."
Everyone was silent.
Someone said: "But where are thieves like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang?"
The man said: "Don't worry, we are already educating you."
At this time, everyone was more like a group of people about to drown. They knew that if they continued like this, sooner or later they would be found on their heads and end up dead without a burial place.
But now, whenever they have an idea, they regard it as a life-saving straw and hold it tightly in their hands.
Knowing that the possibility of these words... being realized is very slim, there is a saying that is good, attack is the best defense, instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to simply attack Taiping Mansion and turn the Taiping Mansion upside down. At least it will make His Majesty and Zhang Anshi anxious and worried.
Don't worry about it and buy them more time.
At this moment, someone suddenly came in a hurry.
"There is news from the palace."
Everyone just thought that a disaster was coming, and they didn't know what Zhu Di had found out. At that moment, everyone's expressions changed and their faces were ashen.
But this person said: "Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, and Liu Guan, the minister of rites, have submitted a petition to request that Zhang Anshi be canonized as king."
As soon as these words came out, there was another silence in the hall.
The King of Shu is the representative of the clan. He is the successor of Emperor Taizu Gao, and he is in the capital. To a certain extent, he represents the wishes of the clan.
As for the Minister of Rites, Liu Guan, who is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, although this Ministry of Rites is not as powerful as the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Husbandry, and the Ministry of War, it is the most noble. After all, it is in charge of ethics.
Being crowned king can be said to be a very unexpected thing for the people here.
But knowing that it was these two people who presented the performance, I felt it was reasonable and reasonable.
In this world, if it weren't for these two people, it would really be impossible to do it justice.
Finally, someone couldn't help but sneered: "I'm really willing to give it up, but... doesn't this go against the ancestral system?"
"Now that people have taken over the world, of course, whatever they say about ancestral system, it is ancestral system. Anyway, this ancestor belongs to other people."
Someone was deep in thought and said, "What are the trends in Wenyuan Pavilion and various ministries?"
"What can happen?" Someone shook his head and said, "These two people have reported that as long as the palace goes with the flow, then the matter is settled. I just 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 is completely different in the past dynasties. There has never been a king with a different surname in the Ming Dynasty. God knows whether it is based on the method of clan feudalism or the classical method.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh.
The news arrived on Zhang Anshi's desk very quickly. Zhang Anshi read Jin Yiwei's report twice, and then showed a strange expression.
He looked a little weird, but no one knew it. At this time, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Sister, I am amazing."

The New Year is here. I wish you all good health and all the best. Get your monthly pass!
