Zhu Di remained silent, so no one dared to speak at this time.
Zhu Di's boots were wiped clean and there was no blood stain.
He paced, passing in front of each minister.
Wherever he passed, everyone trembled.
After a long while, Zhu Di said: "Is it just Jiang Chen, the left minister of the Ministry of War? Or not just the so-called great Confucian Wu family in Jiangyou?"
He suddenly shouted loudly.
Among the ministers, they were frightened when they first saw Jiang Chen being directly executed. Now that the Wu family on Jiangyou is mentioned, some people have liver and gallbladder splitting.
Zhang Anshi stood aside, his eyes wandering around, trying to detect the strangeness of the ministers.
Yang Rong and others kowtowed: "I will be punished by death."
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "In your opinion, can the matter be undone?"
The two of them walked to the Meridian Gate in one breath.
Zhu Di continued with a sneer: "Have you read your sage's book into a dog's belly? You are the king, the king, the minister, the father, the son, the son. But the most unconscionable ones are you."
When he saw Zhang Anshi entering the palace, he pointed at a eunuch, but saw that the eunuch was holding a spiritual tablet.
This is an indescribable feeling. Perhaps to outsiders, this psychological symptom of Yi Shiha is despicable.
The two of them talked quietly all the way, and when they arrived at the Wen Building, they walked in one after another.
Zhu Di obviously did not notice this, and still said to Zhu Gaochi: "So, you must take a warning! You are the prince, and there will be people who try to figure out your temperament and do what you like. Those villains are not scary, they just know that you love beauties.
, I will give you a beautiful woman. But what is really scary is the seemingly honest person who knows that you want to do something.
A good emperor will look like he loves his people like a son, and he will be a humble gentleman in front of you. He will talk about the national economy and people's livelihood and the people's suffering. Isn't this a kind of flattery? When you look at people, don't look at what they say.
, and don’t listen to their boastful talk. Are there few people who talk with their hands but are actually selfish since ancient times?”
There are already a lot of rumors in the palace, especially about His Majesty who failed to seize the throne in his early years. He became so angry that he began to prepare for rebellion when he returned to the Prince's Palace in Peking. After that, everyone knew about things like streaking and eating excrement.
.
Now Yishiha is actually smiling.
Zhu Gaochi said tremblingly: "My son...my son..."
Zhang Anshi, whose name was called, said hurriedly: "I am here."
"Take his children and kill them all."
Zhang Anshi couldn't help but feel guilty and said: "I thought about it and decided to go back and see my wife and children first. They must be very worried about me. I'll trouble my brother-in-law to tell my sister and I that we are safe."
"What happened?" Zhu Gaochi lowered his voice and said, "Your sister is dying of panic. She is not in good health..."
Zhu Gaochi said: "We must investigate thoroughly! This matter must be investigated by you and cannot be left to others."
Zhu Di's originally livid face also relaxed at this time. He just turned his eyes and looked at the kneeling ministers. His voice was still cold and he said: "As for these rebellious ministers and traitors, don't even think about running away. From today on, the capital will be closed."
We must be more vigilant inside and outside. Ministers of the fifth rank and above in the court and their family members are not allowed to enter or leave the capital without permission! Zhang Qing, the model battalion is temporarily stationed at various city gates."
Seeing his cowardly look, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but laugh and said: "Don't worry, she is too late to be happy when she sees you, so why is she still angry?"
After Zhang Anshi heard this, he also knew that this time it was a man-made economic crisis.
Hu Guang was shocked and opened his mouth to curse, but quickly swallowed the words back.
Zhu Gaochi said: "Most of the subordinate officials in Zhan Shifu, my son, are assigned to the various prefectures under the right governor's office to work on duty. In particular, Yang Pu, a scholar in Zhan Shifu, is a fellow magistrate of Taiping Prefecture.
They are responsible for the affairs of the Railway Department, so... they will automatically report to my subordinates the movements of the Governor's Mansion."
Zhang Anshi said: "Follow the order."
However, it seemed that the Crown Princess Zhang had already received the news from the eunuch and knew that Zhang Anshi was coming.
Zhu Gaochi pondered, thinking of the terrible situation in the past two days, he sighed and said: "My father is a man of ten thousand gold. He really shouldn't go around privately to visit and teach these rebellious ministers and thieves an opportunity to take advantage of it. Could it be that what my father said just now is this?"
Are there any remaining parties in the DPRK?"
Zhu Gaochi's warning also had his own intentions. From the perspective of the stakes of the emperor's assassination, in fact, the ultimate beneficiary was him, the prince.
Zhang Anshi said: "Follow the order."
Zhu Di immediately said: "Then half a month, this is a big deal! If there are rebellious officials and traitors, just kill them all. But if something happens to Taiping Mansion, let alone the internal funds are gone, the soldiers and civilians will
All the people have lost their livelihoods, are you going to teach these hundreds of thousands of people to become refugees?"
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi and said, "It doesn't matter if you say it."
Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and couldn't help but said: "To put it this way, I'm lucky to have you."
At this time, a voice said: "What did you say?"
Zhu Gaochi was panting. Every time he walked in and out of the palace, it was a torture for him.
Zhang Anshi whispered: "Brother-in-law, it's a long story, but in short, someone wants to murder your majesty. Fortunately, I tried my best and worked hard regardless of my own safety. If not, I'm afraid something big will happen. Of course, your majesty... also contributed a lot...
"
Zhu Di's eyes suddenly brightened a little, and he hurriedly asked: "How many days?"
Yishiha suddenly glared at the eunuch fiercely.
An unprecedented coldness made them feel cold all over.
Zhu Di nodded and then said: "The one I am worried about is Qixia."
Zhu Di already showed signs of exhaustion. It was obvious that he had been exhausted from traveling all the way. It was very rare for him at his age to be able to persevere until now.
Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di with admiration and said: "It turns out that your majesty has already planned such a plan. Don't worry, your majesty. On the other hand, I will monitor and follow the clues of Jiang Chen and others and continue to follow the clues. These people are now the turtles in the urn and cannot last long."
Already."
But then, Zhu Di frowned again, and said with a cold smile: "This matter is of great importance. It is related to the prosperity and ruin of the country. It cannot be underestimated. Zhang Qing will try his best to handle it. I grant you full authority! No matter what is used, what needs to be controlled, even if it is the imperial court.
The six departments, as long as Zhang Qing needs them, let them do their best to listen to the tune."
If this is the case, if it continues like this, the loss will not only be 2.5 million taels, but even 25 million taels will not be enough to fill this hole.
After all, if His Majesty dies, the new monarch will be the prince, but he is also His Majesty's son and Zhang Anshi's brother-in-law. If they want to ensure that the new monarch does not conduct a thorough investigation, they must have a large number of people in the court who can provide information to the new monarch.
Exert enough influence and pressure to make the new king make wrong judgments.
Because of these damn rebellious officials and traitors, the market was turbulent, and the market price of the entire Taiping Mansion plummeted, and the previous momentum of aggressive expansion was broken.
Yi Shiha was in a good mood and was willing to listen, so he made a tut-tut-tut sound in admiration to cheer up Zhang Anshi, who was spitting.
He did not continue speaking.
Zhu Gaochi sat aside and said: "Father, I heard some things while I was in the capital."
I'm afraid... the capital chain of many merchants will be broken next, and even banks will be affected, and the business of the entire business will plummet.
Yi Shiha poured tea for the prince and Zhang Anshi. Yi Shiha looked much older. This time when he went to Jiangyou, he did not have any bodyguards. He was always on duty in the ceremonial prison. He had served Zhu Di all his life. It was said that Zhu Di
After the news of the accident, Yi Shiha seemed to have suddenly lost his backbone.
The ministers remained silent, all lowering their heads as low as possible.
After Zhu Gaochi heard this, his face seemed touched, and he hurriedly said: "My father's teachings, I will keep them in mind."
Zhang Anshi said: "For such a big water thief, if your Majesty punches him, the thief will bleed from all his orifices before the fist comes."
Zhu Di frowned and said: "Then think of a way. No matter what method you use, you must protect me... and let the soldiers and civilians of Taiping Mansion live and work in peace and contentment."
He looked annoyed.
At this point, Zhu Di paused and said suddenly: "Where is Zhang Qing?"
Zhang Anshi secretly glanced at Zhu Di, who was riding in front of him, and said in a low voice: "You can't say that. Although your Majesty is old, his contribution is not small. Brother-in-law, we, as disciples, cannot take all the credit."
Regarding myself, if my brother-in-law was not my closest relative, I would never tell the truth. To the outside world... I would say that His Majesty is the one who plans the strategy and wins the battle thousands of miles away..."
When Zhu Di said this, Yang Rong, who was prostrate on the ground, glanced sideways at Hu Guang who was standing aside.
Zhu Gaochi nodded with deep approval and said: "You are right to do this. It seems that you have really grown up and are more stable than before."
Zhu Di waved his hand: "Don't do this."
The eunuch was so frightened that he wanted to accuse him.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Zhang Anshi asked tentatively: "Brother-in-law, sister is not angry, right?"
Zhu Gaochi was beside him, drinking tea and listening with a smile. He looked at Zhang Anshi with a bit of relief in his eyes. An Shi had really grown up and no longer had to worry about him.
After hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but nodded happily and said: "This is what the prince should do."
Zhu Di immediately walked towards Zhu Gaochi, looked at his son, the coldness in his eyes softened a bit, and said: "You have been frightened these days."
Zhu Gaochi listened for a long time, but still didn't understand what happened. He only listened to Zhang Anshi vividly talking about how to kill the thieves, how to arrange them, kill the water bandits while waiting for work, and then make a surprise attack on Nanchang City.
Zhang Anshi nodded: "Understood."
Zhu Di immediately got on his horse again and muttered: "It's really easy for the thief Jiang Chen to beat him to death by mistake. Otherwise, he would have to be skinned."
Zhu Di never looked at them again, and then rode into the Forbidden City.
Mentioning this, Zhang Anshi's expression became more solemn and he nodded silently.
But these words make people shudder even more.
But for Yi Shiha, he has been appointed to follow Zhu Di as long as he can remember. From when Zhu Di was still King Yan, he has served him in daily life. For Yi Shiha, Zhu Di is everything to him, not to mention that today he
Everything he had was given to him by Zhu Di. He may not have read many books or understood a lot of knowledge, but he only knew that his life was tied to Zhu Di.
Zhu Gaochi comforted him all the way and led Zhang Anshi to his bedroom.
After he finished speaking, he sighed quietly.
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Anshi was slightly shocked: "Your Majesty means..."
The East Palace is particularly cold today.
Zhu Di said: "These people... dare to do such a thing, and now that the matter has been leaked, and so many of their comrades have been killed, they will inevitably feel panic. I just want to shake the mountain and shock the tiger. Jin Yiwei is here to take advantage of it."
Here are the officials under surveillance, let’s take a look at...their words and deeds!”
Zhang Anshi once again vividly told Yi Shiha how brave his Majesty was when he was in Jiujiang Mansion.
The previous prosperity gave almost everyone the illusion that if they had to open a workshop, they would be able to make money. As long as they invested the money, they would be able to make a profit nine times out of ten.
Although these words were meant as a reproach, Zhang Anshi felt warm in his heart.
Zhu Gaochi knew that if this continued, there would inevitably be more rumors.
Zhu Di continued: "Of course I know that their accomplices are still here, but today, do they still want to hide it? You dare to kill me, do you think you can run away?"
But now, Zhu Di discovered that he had lost even more.
Zhu Gaochi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yishiha said with a full smile: "Captain Zhang, he is ignorant and has no knowledge. You can continue talking."
Zhang Anshi pondered for a moment and said: "I have a way, but it will take some time to prepare."
Zhu Di ignored him with disdain, his eyes were cold, but his smile was even colder, and he said: "Of course, ten thousand people will die. The Wu family has been wiped out. Xu Qi and his companions have all been killed, leaving no one alive. And this
Jiang Chen......
Zhu Di patted him on the shoulder and saw Zhu Gaochi's lips pursed and his words stammered.
Zhang Anshi frowned and thought for a while and said: "If I want to do my best to protect the company and turn it around, I am absolutely sure. Back then, I had foreseen the possibility, so I have been very careful this year. But if
If you want to maintain the overall situation of Taiping Mansion, it will take more effort."
Yes, your Majesty is right. These people will definitely leave a way out for themselves. If they dare to commit regicide, it is not just at the level of Jiangxi Chief Envoy.
There were already cars waiting outside, and Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "Go to the East Palace first and meet your sister."
Zhu Di said grandly: "It's just a thief, what's there to boast about?"
Therefore, for Zhu Gaochi, the best way to clear his grievances is to find out all the remaining party members, and it is best for his close relative Zhang Anshi to investigate the matter.
Zhu Di sat down and said, "I just killed Jiang Chen just to scare away the enemy."
Zhang Anshi followed Zhu Gaochi into the palace.
On the other hand, the young eunuch who was serving tea at the side saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Duke Wei and the Grand Eunuch were all happy, so he calmly said: "Why is it that the fists haven't arrived yet, so why are the seven orifices bleeding?"
Yi Shiha still listened attentively.
Zhang Anshi breathed a sigh of relief and felt confident. He immediately said: "Brothers like me are not human beings. I always worry my sister. I will go see her right now."
Looking at Zhu Di's back, Zhu Gaochi breathed a long sigh of relief. He was overjoyed to see Zhang Anshi still jumping around. He deliberately stopped for a moment and waited for Zhang Anshi to follow him, then he slowly walked with Zhang Anshi.
It was Zhu Di who had returned from Ouchi and was walking slowly in.
Everyone hurriedly saluted and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Governor Zhang is talking about how your Majesty is eliminating thieves in Jiangxi."
"Your Majesty, the reason why the trading company is able to thrive is precisely because of the prosperity of Taiping Mansion. If the prosperity of Taiping Mansion is lost, even if the trading company can still make profits, it will actually be nothing more than duckweed."
Zhang Anshi also suddenly understood some of the prince's intentions, and just looked at his brother-in-law with a smile.
"Half a month." Zhang Anshi thought for a while and said.
Seeing Zhu Di's excited look, Zhang Anshi could only say: "I...will do my best."
"Ten thousand deaths." Everyone shouted loudly.
This has been a problem in all dynasties. Zhu Gaochi is not young anymore. He has been the prince for more than ten years. It is inevitable that some people will speculate that the prince is unwilling to just be a hidden dragon.
Zhu Di, on the other hand, said: "Why does the prince care about Taiping Mansion?"
All the officials were prostrate and prostrated, not daring to say a word at this time. They just felt cold.
Zhang Anshi arrived at the East Palace in great excitement.
He originally insisted on going to Jiangxi because he was thinking about his two and a half million taels of silver.
Every word of these words was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's soul.
Zhang Anshi said: "With your majesty and brother-in-law teaching you through words and deeds, how can you not be prudent?"
eunuch:"……"
Zhang Anshi said: "Follow the order."
Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Anshi both resigned wisely.
Zhang Anshi said: "Haha... you don't know something about this. When your strength reaches a certain level, you will have hidden strength. Have you ever heard of beating a cow across the mountain? Do you know that fighting spirit turns into a horse?"
At that moment, he said gently and honestly: "Look carefully, these gentlemen who are gentle in front of you are not so simple in many cases! You must not think that they are pedantic or honest. Those who do great evil will surely
He is an honest man who is gentle and respectful."
I don’t know who he said this to, but all the ministers were frightened.
Zhu Di had already gone to Da Nei to visit Empress Xu.
What it means is that this is not just a railway problem, but also the result of people adding fuel to the flames.
"How dare these people have such courage? Hehe... You are scholars, and you must be careful in your actions. How can you not leave yourself a way out? You want to seize the country, and you want to teach me how to change the color of the Ming Dynasty.
How can we differentiate between these people?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Yes, I will die."
But now, this huge crisis is shrouding like a dark cloud, and it is not easy to get rid of the fear in people's hearts.
Who knew that as soon as he entered, he saw that the atmosphere in the palace was extremely cold, and the eunuchs on the left and right did not dare to leave.
Zhu Gaochi's implication was that this matter was indeed difficult to handle. If Zhang Anshi failed, he could not be blamed.
Zhu Gaochi glared at him and said: "When the bad news came, your sister had already taken them to the East Palace, fearing that they would be too sad."
Zhu Gaochi said: "After the news from Jiangxi came out, Taiping Mansion was experiencing internal and external troubles. It seems that many people were secretly spreading rumors and causing trouble, trying their best to teach Taiping Mansion..."
Mrs. Zhang shouted: "Kneel down."
Zhang Anshi: "..."
Zhang Anshi quickly raised his eyes to look for Zhu Gaochi. Zhu Gaochi had stood aside very meekly, and then looked at Zhang Anshi silently, as if it had nothing to do with him.
