After Liu Guan finished speaking, all the ministers fell silent, waiting for Prince Zhu Gaochi's response.
It took Zhu Gaochi a long time to adjust his mood.
Only then did he show a sad expression, and spoke sincerely, word for word: "Da Xing... Emperor Da Xing has been a great nurturing father. Now that the bad news has come, I am extremely sad..."
After that, he began to wipe away his tears and wiped his eyes hard.
All the ministers sighed.
However, someone saw Zhang Anshi's sullen face, and suddenly showed a look of laughter.
This time, it was as if he had aroused public anger. The prince could not bear it any more. How could you, Zhang Anshi, bear it?
This is Daxing Emperor Bintian... His Majesty passed away, and you, Zhang Anshi, became the legitimate uncle of the state. Why are you so happy?
Fortunately, although some people felt that Zhang Anshi was rude, no one criticized him. Liu Guan continued to respond, saying: "Your Highness, I express my condolences. We should put the foundation of our ancestors and the people as our top priority. We should immediately refrain from inheriting the great power of the emperor to avoid causing future troubles."
Zhu Gaochi waved his hand and just sighed: "Everything will be done according to the ministers."
At this time, Zhu Gaochi could not express his agreement, nor could he refuse.
Agreeing immediately would be more or less disrespectful to Emperor Daxing.
But if you refuse, it is even more impossible.
So the meaning of deciding according to the ministers is that you can take charge of this matter, and I can just do it reluctantly.
Liu Guan then said: "Tomorrow, August 19th, the enthronement ceremony can be held."
Zhu Gaochi did not answer and continued to look sad.
Liu Guan just regarded him as acquiescing: "Although it is hasty, it is related to the country. The country cannot live without a king for a day, so the Ministry of Rites has no choice but to make an arbitrary decision."
Zhu Gaochi just remained silent.
At this time, he can just cry.
Although Zhu Gaochi didn't cry.
So the officials dispersed one by one and went to prepare.
As soon as Zhang Anshi saw them, they left.
Just now he took off his filial piety clothes and hat, exhaled a breath, and then sighed: "It's really not easy, brother-in-law, you almost exposed your secret."
Zhu Gaochi glanced at him and said with a bit of complaint: "You hide such a big thing from me, you are really a bastard."
Zhang Anshi said innocently: "You can't blame me. Your Majesty insists on doing this. What can I say? Oh... I'm so pitiful. Your Majesty is forcing me, and my brother-in-law is criticizing me. I'm not a human being."
At this time, Zhu Gaochi put his hands behind his back, walked a few steps, and said: "The state should be established as a courtesy. If my father does this, isn't he making fun of the people of the world? This... is really not the right thing to do. You should have advised me instead."
Nonsense.”
Zhang Anshi said: "Doesn't my brother-in-law know about His Majesty's temper? Even nine cows can't bring him back what he has decided. Besides, isn't it because of you, my brother-in-law, that His Majesty did this?"
Zhu Gaochi frowned, looking worried: "What do you mean?"
Zhang Anshi said: "To kill demons and eliminate evil, someone always has to do it. If your majesty doesn't do it today, in the future... his children and grandchildren will do it too. But killing people, no matter who is killed, will inevitably happen in the end."
Some people criticize! Rather than let our children and grandchildren
Come and do it, why not do it for your majesty? Anyway, your majesty was born in Jingnan, and there is no shortage of this fact. The so-called filth of the country is the master of the country; the omen of the country is the king of the world. My brother-in-law now understands your majesty.
That’s what I mean.”
After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi lowered his head and became unhappy. At this time, he no longer had a playful smile, but instead showed a somewhat heavy expression.
After a long time, Zhu Gaochi raised his head and said, "Are you ready for tomorrow?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Ready."
Zhu Gaochi looked at him with burning eyes and said, "What will happen tomorrow?"
Zhang Anshi said categorically: "There will definitely be."
Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but said: "This is too blind."
Zhang Anshi shook his head: "Many people, both inside and outside the court, are celebrating. What are they celebrating? They are just looking forward to me going to Xinzhou! But if you want to force me to go to Xinzhou, I must give you, brother-in-law, a warning. The new emperor has always been
This is usually the case when you ascend the throne. In fact, Jin Yiwei has already received a lot of secret reports."
"Secret report, what secret report?" Zhu Gaochi raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Anshi deeply.
"Many people have already begun to want a piece of the pie in advance." Zhang Anshi said: "You can't afford it early if there is no profit! Of course, the ministers are still cautious, but the relatives and clan members around them are not so cautious.
Now. Now we have reached this point. The benefits that should be promised have been promised to others, and the advantages that we want to take advantage of have been predicted in advance. Brother-in-law, have you heard of... any benefits? "
Zhu Gaochi didn't know why and said: "Good thing?"
Zhang Anshi explained patiently: "It's just business, and suddenly there is good news in the market..."
Zhu Gaochi looked at him curiously: "What is this?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Because of the good news, everyone has already clearly arranged the future income from this good news. Who should get what benefit, who can eat how much, who can take how much, everyone is in advance,
Everyone has already divided the pie. Of course, everyone has also invested in costs... By the time the good news really comes out, it will have already been released."
Zhu Gaochi frowned and said, "What does this business have to do with the present?"
Zhang Anshi sighed and said: "The pie has been divided, but if this good news cannot be turned into real benefits, then many people... will be ready to die."
Zhu Gaochi was even more surprised: "Why is this?"
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "For example, if a person knows in advance that he may become the governor of Taiping Mansion, this is a very lucrative position, and the premise of all this is that I will rule Xinzhou. And this person wants to make money in advance
He has spent countless money on this position, and even went bankrupt in order to seize the opportunity... So... if he can't get this position, he will be dead."
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, and a source-changing app used by old bookworms,]
Zhu Gaochi nodded and said, "I probably understand. But why don't they wait until everything is settled and you go to Xinzhou before spending the price?"
Zhang Anshi continued: "Because everyone wants to seize the opportunity, the so-called opportunity cannot be missed, and there is also a saying that the night is long and the dream is many. By the time he decides to wait for that day, others may have already been one step ahead. So although the news may have a certain
Uncertainty, but if it's a step too late, and wait until the news is settled, where will his share be? It's like when dividing the cake, you didn't discuss it with others in advance, and when the cake is brought out, it will be so wasteful
The dishes are all cold."
The more Zhu Gaochi listened, the more incredible it became.
Zhang Anshi continued: "But it's not just that. What's scary is that since this person has spent countless prices in advance to obtain the position of Taiping Fuyin. There is such a huge amount of money in this position, then... once someone knows this
If there is news, someone will definitely take action in advance to find him and share the little cake he has on hand."
"Therefore, it is impossible to say that someone has already spent countless money on this future Taiping Mansion, giving countless gold and silver, so that in the future... I can get some benefits in Taiping Mansion, and spent this money
cost……"
Zhu Gaochi said in surprise: "So, there are many participants?"
Zhang Anshi said: "More than just a lot of people, everyone is watching, especially some... people who are well-informed and well-connected."
Zhu Gaochi immediately said: "After the big cake is divided, everyone divides the small cakes. After the small cakes are distributed, how about dividing the leftovers of the cake?"
"Yes." Zhang Anshi said: "If someone has premeditated the position of the fuyin, someone will go to the future fuyin in advance, and premeditated the position of the county magistrate. Once the position of the future county magistrate has been obtained, someone will go to the future county.
Order there to plan some business related to the county, or...premeditate a certain piece of land. In short, these people will participate in this share of the meal based on their ability and worth.
"
Zhu Gaochi felt cold all over his body and couldn't help but said: "How can people be so greedy?"
Zhang Anshi seemed calm and said: "Brother-in-law, this is called the first to get the moon near the water. There is another saying, it is called military speed. There is a completely different difference between doing things one step early and one step late. The New Deal has such great benefits, why don't you teach others
Are you salivating? It’s just that I didn’t have the opportunity before, but now that the opportunity has come, how can anyone let it go?”
"It's just like those rebels. It doesn't matter whether the rebellion succeeds or not, but before it succeeds, everyone has to bury themselves together and discuss first who will be the prime minister, who will be crowned king, and who will be general. Once it's done, everyone will be together.
He is a prince, and if he loses... he will die and his family will be destroyed."
Zhu Gaochi clasped his hands behind his back, seeming to be thinking about something. After taking another two steps, he asked again: "Does your father know these things?"
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know yet, but he probably knows...somewhat. The Jinyiwei side has only found out some scraps of information. After all...they don't dare to probe too far, so as not to alert the snake."
Zhu Gaochi lowered his head slightly and said quietly: "Now that someone has distributed the cake, then...it won't happen if they don't drive them away."
"Yes." Zhang Anshi said with certainty: "So tomorrow... they will have to fight to the death."
Zhu Gaochi took a deep breath, then looked up at Zhang Anshi and said: "I know, I... I want to see how they plan... to defeat the enemy!"
Zhang Anshi said: "The royal guards... are also ready, just waiting for His Majesty to throw the cup as a signal."
…………
Late at night.
Jinfu.
Jin Youzi was sitting in the inner hall, drinking tea slowly with a teacup.
He stayed up all night, his eyes were bloodshot, and he glanced at the dark sky outside from time to time.
When his son Jin Zhaobo, who was sitting with him, saw this, he couldn't help but said: "Dad...you..."
Before he could finish his words, Jin Youzi waved his hands and said: "Your Majesty's great conduct can't help but make people feel sad. It doesn't matter, I'm in good health at last. Later, when it's daybreak, I'll have to go to the palace to pay my respects."
."
Jin Zhaobo looked at Jin Youzi, who looked a little tired, and said uneasily: "But father, your body can't stand it."
Jin Youzi smiled at him and said: "Don't worry, I know what I know. You still have to prepare your homework. No matter what, in the coming spring, you will have to be named on the gold medal list. Only then will our Jin family be proud and proud. I have grown old as a father. Over the years,
I didn’t ask anything about your brothers. This is all because of my father’s fault. Among the brothers, you are the only one who is the most knowledgeable. This makes my father very happy, and you must keep up your efforts."
Jin Zhaobo was silent. He lowered his head and wanted to say something, but he hesitated.
Jin Zhaobo actually wanted to talk about the current situation in the court, but he had spoken many times before, but his father always ignored him and did not want him to get involved.
So Jin Zhaobo said: "Father, uncle, he..."
Jin Youzi looked at him and said, "What's wrong with him?"
Jin Zhaobo said with a hint of worry: "I heard... uncle is outside... Chengri is with someone... and my son is a little worried."
Jin Youzi's expression was calm, he just nodded and said: "Leave him alone, he has always been a Hutu person..."
Jin Zhaobo said: "The day before yesterday, he was looking for his son and said that he wanted to... buy a big house for his son... and he also said..."
Jin Youzi said: "Have you accepted it?"
"My son dare not accept it." Jin Zhaobo said, "This is not my son's ambition."
Jin Youzi showed a look of relief and said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't accept it. Your behavior makes my father very happy."
Jin Zhaobo said: "Father just didn't want to ask uncle..."
Jin Youzi said calmly: "It's okay to ask, I haven't understood my own affairs, so why do I still have the time to ask others?"
Jin Zhaobo couldn't help but said: "Father... Your Majesty is doing a great job... The DPRK will definitely..."
"Now is not the time for you to care about these things." Jin Youzi's face became a little solemn, and he continued: "Your mind should be on your studies. When my father was your age, he only thought about fame.
Because...one should focus all his life on reading."
"But... you must first set your ambitions and know what your aspirations are. After you know your aspirations, then work hard in this direction. Other things are not your concern. If you don't listen, you won't
Go and hear it, don't care about it, because all of this needs to wait until you get fame before you can learn and think about it. If not, you will easily fall into a situation of being distracted and half-hearted."
Jin Zhaobo said: "My son needs to be taught. My father should go and take a nap."
Jin Youzi smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll sit here for a while longer for my father."
"Father..." Jin Zhaobo looked hard to say, and then he immediately said: "I heard that someone was impeaching my father... to make an edict."
There was no emotion or anger on Jin Youzi's face. He glanced at Jin Zhaobo, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "Are you worried?"
"yes."
Jin Youzi said: "This is the official career. On the official career, there will be many things and many people will appear. It is not only a single-plank bridge, but also a broad road, a rugged mountain road, and a flat river. There are poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts.
There are also flowers paving the way, which not only makes people want to stop, but also makes people feel like walking on thin ice. But don’t worry, after walking as a father for so many years, although you will stumble, you will not fall."
Jin Zhaobo sighed. His father's answers were always vague.
Jin Youzi seemed to have read through his thoughts and said, "He must be thinking in his heart whether these words about his father are a little too cover-up."
Jin Zhaobo said: "My son doesn't dare."
Jin Youzi smiled: "The reason why you feel... mysterious and mysterious now is because... you have not yet entered the official career and have not experienced the hardships and honors involved. Because of this, you cannot empathize with me. Now for
You just need to remember what the father has said to you, and in the future... when you reach the age of being a father, you will be able to understand everything."
"yes."
Sitting there all night.
The sky is dim.
It's already time.
Jin Youzi finally stood up.
He was still wearing court robes, and after just stroking his hair, he prepared to start his journey.
The carriage and horses were ready, and Jin Youzi sat upright. Although he had not slept all night, he did not feel drowsy on his face. Instead, he sat upright among the carriages and horses, with his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping.
Do a final review of what is about to happen today.
…
All the officials gathered together.
The ministers filed into the palace in an orderly manner.
As the eunuchs sang.
As well as the sound of bells and drums from various corner towers, all the ministers in the capital were gathered together at this time.
The enthronement ceremony was prepared by the Ministry of Rites.
Everything is in perfect order.
It seems like...it has been practiced often.
Although Liu Guan is a veteran, he doesn't do anything serious at all on weekdays.
But he did such a ceremonial ceremony very impressively.
There is only one fly in the ointment.
He discovered that Zhang Anshi, the king of Wuhu County, was actually absent.
Liu Guan became anxious and angry about this.
The news we received is that Zhang Anshi cried and fainted last night because of His Majesty's great deeds.
Liu Guan couldn't help but curse: "I saw him smiling yesterday..."
Liu Guan didn't say the next words, after all, he didn't like to offend others.
Zhang Anshi was also in the palace at this time, and had even arrived at Zhu Di's bedroom.
Yi Shiha, who had come out of his sadness, prepared a royal robe and looked at Zhu Di who was still well, with a smile of relief from time to time.
At this time, Zhu Di was dressed in new clothes, with black and white beard and hair. Facing the bronze mirror, Zhu Di looked steadily at himself in the mirror.
Couldn't help but...Zhu Di showed a bit of secrecy.
Zhang Anshi said from the side: "Your Majesty... you are so heroic."
Zhu Di rolled his eyes and said, "Young warrior."
Zhang Anshi said: "..."
Zhang Anshi really wanted to say, what is your style of being an emperor?
Zhu Di said at this time: "Are you ready?"
"Everything is ready." Zhang Anshi hurriedly put away his complaints and said: "The commander of the Jinyi Guards, Chen Li, has prepared troops and quietly controlled the inside and outside of the capital. In addition, Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu have each led their own troops.
, seal the nine gates at any time."
Zhu Di glared at him and said: "That's not what I'm asking. I don't expect the Jinyi Guards and the Model Camp. These people can't escape from my grasp. What I'm asking is... is there anything wrong with the prince?"
Zhang Anshi said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...has always been impeccable in his actions. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Zhu Di sighed: "Then let's prepare for the trip. It's time for all the princes to see me. I haven't summoned the ministers in so many days. I think they will miss me very much."
Zhang Anshi turned his head to the side and couldn't help but roll his eyes, saying in his heart: Your Majesty, you should accumulate some virtue.
