"Fortunately? What does this mean?" Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi in confusion.
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "I am very lucky that apart from my sister, my father only gave birth to a son, this son. So the two siblings depend on each other for life and have a very deep relationship."
Zhu Di: "..."
Zhang Anshi continued: "As far as I know, any family with many children among these common people will be full of all kinds of conflicts, and there will also be a lot of troubles, which will make people very annoying."
Zhu Di nodded subconsciously.
Zhang Anshi's words seemed to be just making things up, but in fact, they made Zhu Di feel a lot better mentally.
He turned the naked uncle-nephew dispute into a family conflict.
There must be some dirty things in the family, but whose family doesn’t?
Everyone is like this, so at most His Majesty is just one of them! You see, this psychological burden is gone.
Zhang Anshi continued: "The reason why I and my sister have a deep relationship. Firstly, it is because my sister brought me up. Secondly, if we dig deeper, it is because we, sister and brother, can support and help each other."
."
Zhu Di nodded and said, "This is the right thing to do."
Xia Yuanji actually did not argue with Zhang Anshi, but thought about it seriously and said: "Probably not, but thank you for the reminder, His Highness."
After saying that, he added: "Call me in to talk."
Zhang Anshi said: "He devoted himself to Buddhism and promoted Buddhism everywhere. Now... it has been quite effective. In Western countries, Buddhist temples have been built in large numbers and are hosted by his disciples. I heard that there are now three thousand disciples. Your Majesty
Your Majesty, I dare to say that your Majesty was definitely wary of Zhu Yunzhen in the past. But now, will your Majesty still be wary of him? I am afraid that at this time, I wish he could live a long life and live a better life in the West.
."
Hu Guang obviously does not have this problem.
Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "I have already seen that he will definitely become a great monk."
In the past, disasters have been fine, but this year's situation is very unusual.
Zhu Di said: "Nothing."
Zhang Anshi shook his head: "This is not the case. Because in my opinion, those who can become eminent monks are never the kind of monks who have escaped into Buddhism since childhood, but people who have great experience in life and have experienced countless ups and downs in life. Only those who can become eminent monks.
Such a person has experienced great hardships in the world
Wealth and honor, and then falling from the sky to the mortal world, these great ups and downs, and ups and downs of emotions, are by no means comparable to ordinary people. Only such people can achieve great enlightenment and understand Zen principles that others cannot understand. This is like Sakyamuni,
Aren’t you also born as a prince?”
Of course, Zhu Wengui's treatment has been greatly improved. He is not directly imprisoned within a high wall like the former Jian Shuren. As long as he does not leave Fengyang, no one dares to do anything to him.
The greater their ambition, the more benefit they will have for Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Anshi said: "But the matter that Emperor Taizu Gao was worried about has been solved by your majesty. If Emperor Taizu Gao knows that his descendants can be harmonious in the future and can have a blind date with each other because of your majesty, he will definitely be very happy."
Joy."
Zhu Di took it without mercy, opened it, raised his eyebrows and said: "The matter is already so serious, what happened this year? It's so powerful."
Zhu Di looked at Xia Yuanji and said thoughtfully: "Xia Qing's family, how much grain can the Ministry of Household Affairs provide for relief?"
Yi Shiha hurriedly entered the palace and said, "My servant is here."
After saying that, Zhu Di said: "Is it appropriate for Xia Qing to go?"
Yi Shi Ha said: "When Zhu Yunwen was first captured, Zhu Yunwen was a monk. His Majesty saw that Zhu Yunwen wanted to repent, so he granted Zhu Wengui the title of county king, but..."
Xia Yuanji smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't dare to go if I'm not a minister. In fact, I am the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. At this juncture, I should be in charge of the Ministry of Revenue."
Zhu Di was a little speechless at this answer.
Zhang Anshi and Yi Shiha both accepted the offer.
Yishiha glanced at Zhu Di strangely. He couldn't understand the reason for a moment, but His Majesty suddenly remembered Zhu Wengui.
This commoner was so pitiful that when he was released in his fifties, he couldn't even tell the difference between an ox and a horse.
Zhang Anshi looked embarrassed. In his impression, Zhu Di was just a rough guy, but...
Zhu Di nodded, cheered up, and asked, "How is Zhu Yunwen now?"
But at this moment, a eunuch suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Wenyuan Pavilion and the ministers of various ministries are asking for an audience."
Zhang Anshi suddenly interrupted him and said, "I'm just worried about Mr. Hu..."
Zhu Di was very satisfied and said: "That's good, that's it, it's settled like this."
After things were arranged, the ministers were ready to retire.
Xia Yuanji expressed his worries. There were so many areas involved, from floods in the Huaihe River to droughts in Henan and other places, as well as the locust plague in Guanzhong. In the past, the court's approach would have been simple. When disasters occurred in Henan, the Ministry of Household Affairs would dispatch
The officials went to ask questions, and at the same time... they transferred grain from surrounding areas such as Guanzhong and Jiangnan to provide relief.
Zhang Anshi looked at him with a half-smile but said, "Then according to Duke Xia, what is this called?"
Zhu Di then turned his attention to the three Wenyuan Pavilion bachelors.
The most important thing is that Hu Guang has a good character. If he has a character like Liu Guan, the Minister of Rites, Zhu Di would never dare to send him.
At least this defensiveness has gone away, and more seals are enough.
But the disaster is so involved that no matter where the refugees go, they have no food to put them in. As time goes by, big problems will arise.
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and said: "I'm here to choose a good domain for him, and report to me when the time comes. He has been imprisoned for a long time, and I'm afraid he doesn't understand the world. How old should he be now?"
Zhang Anshi had no choice but to stop and wait for him.
Zhang Anshi said: "She should be around twenty years old."
"Brothers and disciples all eat in a big pot. Over time, there will definitely be disputes. But if the pot is divided, these relatives can be used to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty, and the relatives can use their own families to expand their territory.
The power of the world, but outside the world, between each other,
The most reliable symbiotic relationship in the world has been formed, and no one can live without the other. In addition, throughout the dynasties, the problem of the clan members being suspected of rebellion in the palace has also been solved. Looking at the past dynasties, I am afraid that there is no more clan clan than at this time.
It’s time for a more harmonious relationship.”
Xia Yuanji said: "The disasters in Henan and other places are the most serious, and there is no need to delay. Here in Zhili and other prefectures..."
Zhu Di nodded: "The boss is already old. He needs someone to help him and slowly increase his experience. As time goes by, he will naturally understand military and civil affairs. In a few days, he will be summoned to the palace to see him, and then he will be ready.
Fan. It would be better for his vassal territory to be closer to Zhu Yunwen."
Xia Yuanji thought for a while and said: "The chief envoys in various places have limited abilities. They need to mobilize senior officials from the court to control the disaster-stricken provinces and act accordingly."
Zhang Anshi said: "I'm worried that Mr. Hu, who has good intentions, will miss important events. You are the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, so you should be more careful."
Xia Yuanji thought for a moment and said, "This is called taking into account the overall situation."
After Zhang Anshi said that, he smiled: "Zen theory cannot be understood by just sitting and chanting sutras. But Zhu Yunwen, what he has experienced is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, so his thoughts are more complicated than those of ordinary people."
It is much more profound. Because of this, his achievements in Buddhism are probably unsurpassed by anyone."
Zhang Anshi didn't say much, said goodbye to Xia Yuanji, and left anxiously.
Hu Guang then kowtowed: "Thank you."
It was Hu Guang who stood up first without hesitation: "I... would like to give it a try."
The clown is actually me, Zhang Anshi?
"Even if it's Jianwen... no... even if it's Zhu Yunwen, he has become a monk now and has built Buddhist temples in Luzon and other places to promote Buddhism. As far as I know, many clan members have put aside their suspicions towards him.
All the kings are willing to cooperate with Zhu Yunwen and hope that his temple will be built in their own vassal territory, because only in this way can I, the Buddha of the Ming Dynasty, be able to calm people's hearts."
Xia Yuanji said: "There is enough food. If the conscripted civilians can be paid with money, a lot of money can be saved. But... the disaster now affects not only Henan, but also other areas in the north of Zhili."
The government has already affected Jiangxi, Huguang and Guanzhong areas, and the impact has been so severe. If it is just like usual, and only officials are sent to inquire, I am afraid..."
Zhang Anshi was stunned for a moment, then said: "I don't know."
The conversation was immediately brought back.
After hearing this, Xia Yuanji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sigh: "The county prince is indeed extraordinary for receiving this holy grace."
Zhu Di frowned: "Didn't we just meet each other not long ago? Why did you come to see me again?"
Xia Yuanji added: "But don't worry, Your Highness, by then the disaster situation in other provinces will be alleviated, and here at the Ministry of Revenue..."
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, isn't this the case in all dynasties? Emperor Taizu Gao was also a man who was familiar with classics and history, so he must have been worried about such things when he was alive."
Zhu Di glared at him and said, "You are thinking only after the fact."
Yang Rong took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent memorial in Henan."
Xia Yuanji, however, hurriedly caught up with him and said urgently: "Your Highness, please wait a moment."
So everyone only gave Zhu Wengui the treatment of a county king and continued to stay in Fengyang.
Hu Guang bowed down and said, "I have received divine grace, so I dare not not try my best."
When Zhu Di heard this, he sighed with emotion: "Yes, my sons also fought fiercely back then."
Even if they were ambitious, they used their ambition against the local natives.
"Your Majesty, the situation is serious. We must take precautions before it happens. We should immediately order officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs to inquire." Yang Rong said.
But the next moment, Xia Yuanji frowned again and said: "As for the disaster here in Zhili..."
But... Zhu Wengui's fate was changed because of Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi said: "Don't you mean that I like to be taken advantage of?"
Zhang Anshi's words surprised Zhu Di. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but agree: "This is reasonable. I have heard a saying that the country is unfortunate and its poets are lucky. The Anshi Rebellion created many great poets, and the Jin Dynasty
people went south, Bianjing fell into the hands of the Jin people, and countless
Families had to rush to the south, and fathers and sons, husbands and wives, and brothers were separated from each other. It is not known how many poets were born. It can be seen that the more painful the experience, the more countless poets and poets were born. On the contrary, when the world was peaceful and people lived and worked in peace and contentment, more poets were born.
It’s just some literati who forcefully talk about their sorrows in order to compose new words.”
Zhu Di stared at Zhang Anshi, knowing that there was something comforting in it, but he slowly figured out what it meant.
In fact, disasters have always occurred in Zhili, but the county and prince's palace did not pay too much attention to them.
Zhu Di did not issue a fiefdom decree, and Zhu Wengui's identity was extremely sensitive, so the ministers did not dare to ask more questions.
As if being told something that was on his mind, Xia Yuanji said awkwardly: "Things have their own priorities, and I have absolutely no selfish motives."
Zhu Di couldn't help but become worried, and said: "As far as you are concerned, what should we do?"
It has to be said that Zhang Anshi's strategy of sweeping the world has indeed solved a big problem for Zhu Di, and now he can look at his brothers and nephews with a normal mentality.
Zhu Di pondered for a while, and then said: "This is the bloodline of my brother, Prince Yiwen. It is not safe to stay in Fengyang. Let's enfeoff him. Find a good vassal land overseas, give him three guards and men, and seal him."
As the prince, choose a capable chief minister for him, and select a few capable military ministers to assist him. As for the name of the country, it will be 'Yue'."
But now, there are disasters nearby, which means that food needs to be transported thousands of miles or even thousands of miles away, which involves various provinces. There is also the problem that once a disaster occurs, there will inevitably be refugees.
Xia Yuanji breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Hu Guang who went there. If Hu Guang did this, the victims would be saved.
He walked quickly outside the palace. He was young and energetic, so he walked at the front.
Zhu Di seemed to have settled his worries all of a sudden, and the frown he had just frowned relaxed.
After all, the more land and population they have, the more Ming Dynasty's tariffs, money and food will grow. The larger their territory, the stronger Ming Dynasty's control over the four seas.
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty is truly a sage. He even understands literary and ink matters."
Zhu Wengui was the second son of Zhu Yunwen. Historically, after the Battle of Jingnan, he was imprisoned in Fengyang by Zhu Di. He was only two years old at the time and was called a commoner until more than fifty years later, in the Ming Dynasty.
After the restoration of Emperor Yingzong, he took pity on him, built him a house, married him, had children, and released him.
Zhu Di had no choice but to say: "Then who can go?"
Thinking about it carefully, he actually forgot that the education Zhu Di received when he was young was indeed the best in the world, and given the strictness of Emperor Taizu Gao, he was afraid that Zhu Di's cultural knowledge should at least be better than the ordinary talents of this era.
Much more.
Zhang Anshi just smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Anshi did not stay any longer and left with everyone.
Xia Yuanji asked in confusion: "Why are you worried about Mr. Hu?"
Zhu Di: "..."
Zhang Anshi said: "Now that the imperial court has enfeoffed His Majesty's brothers and sons, the kings are in desperate need of the imperial court's support. They have no objections and only hope to have more exchanges with Your Majesty. As for the relationship between the two Highnesses, King Zhao and King Han, and the prince.
We are gradually getting closer to each other, isn't it...a gratifying thing?"
Zhang Anshi said calmly: "What I'm busy with now are all matters in Taiping Mansion. For the Xinzhou side, I only entrusted the governance to Chief Shi Yang Shiqi. I heard it's pretty good. Many routes to Taiping Mansion have been opened up, and there are many merchants coming and going.
."
Halfway through his words, Zhang Anshi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I am the right commander, so it is my duty to provide relief."
Zhu Di turned around and asked: "Zhang Qing, how is your Xinzhou?"
Zhu Di nodded: "This son is not a good emperor, but he is a good monk."
At this time, Zhu Di said: "After some time, Zhu Yunzhen should be given some rewards. It is not easy for him in the West. His son Zhu Wengui..."
Hu Guang had been in Wenyuan Pavilion for a long time, and his temperament was very good. Whether it was his birth or status, he was enough to make the chief envoys of various provinces obey him.
Zhu Di said: "Well, that's good too. Just make the most of your life..."
"Your Majesty, if Emperor Taizu Gao knew that Your Majesty had solved such a big problem between clan members, how could he blame Jing Nan for such a trivial matter?"
"However, the vassal territory was not actually sealed. He has been staying in Fengyang and being supported by the prince."
Zhang Anshi did not hesitate and simply said: "Don't worry, I will figure this out myself. The Ministry of Revenue will focus on the important things first."
Not long after, Yang Rong and others came in a hurry.
Xia Yuanji said: "How can your Highness say this?"
Zhang Anshi was confused by what he said, and he didn't want to ask any more questions, so he was about to leave.
Zhang Anshi looked at him with a discerning look and said, "You are worried that I will ask you for food, right?"
"Go away." Zhu Di raised his head slightly and said with a bit of arrogance: "Do you really think that I am like you, and it is difficult to learn since childhood? I have received guidance from countless great scholars, and the education I received is not that of an ordinary person.
comparable
.It’s just that... I have read classics and history, and I am also proficient in literature. After actually entering the army and guarding Fanping in Peking, I realized that these things are very useless. If I want to rule the world, how can I rely on those useless poems and books?
."
Zhu Di's mood suddenly dropped again, and he said quietly: "What he was worried about finally happened."
However, he did not dare to say more and immediately said: "I obey the order."
Zhu Di frowned and suddenly shouted: "Here comes someone."
So Zhu Di said: "If this is the case, then Hu Qing will be troubled."
The imperial court is all about seniority. If you don't have enough seniority, people will treat you in both positive and negative ways.
Zhang Anshi felt that his mood suddenly became bad.
On the contrary, he... seems to be at the level of a child at most. At this level, Zhang Anshi may still be able to give himself extra points.
Xia Yuanji said: "This person must be extremely favored by His Majesty and be trusted by His Majesty. At the same time, he must be entrusted with the power to control the disaster-stricken provinces. His official position must be higher than that of ministers, so that he can control the chief envoys of each province."
Zhu Di asked: "How is Zhu Wengui doing now?"
Zhu Di said: "I also gave Hu Qing the crown prince and grand master, and granted him arbitrary power. He urgently went to Henan and other places to assist in disaster control matters. If he encounters anything, he can make arbitrary decisions. He can just report it when the time comes."
It's not because they don't care, but because most of the people in the Zhili government are officials trained by the Taiping Prefecture, and the money and food are still sufficient. As long as the disaster-stricken people are resettled in a step-by-step manner, it will be fine.
However, now that Zhang Anshi has to shoulder the responsibility for the entire Zhili disaster, the situation is still different. At that moment, Zhang Anshi ordered people to summon the magistrates and magistrates from various prefectures to see him.
As a result, hundreds of magistrates and county magistrates came outside the prince's palace one after another.
Such a lively scene can be considered a unique experience.
