my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 485 A Rare Opportunity

Zhu Di was overjoyed after hearing Zhu Zhanji's words.

At this moment, he finally understood what it was.

Can't help saying: "Zhang Qing kept Chen Deng and others because of this. This Dongchang... is really a jerk."

Yi Shiha listened, his face was startled, and he hurriedly said: "Your servant will die."

Yishiha's heart was desperate, and finally had a chance to show his face, but it almost ruined His Royal Highness.

But Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the fire is about the same now. Even if Dongchang doesn't arrest anyone, Jin Yiwei will also plan to close the net in the past two months. After all, these gentry who are willing to relocate, They have already made the trip with their families, and those who refuse to leave will naturally stand still, and Mrs. Chen and others are useless."

Yi Shiha immediately gave Zhang Anshi a look of gratitude.

Zhu Di nodded and said, "If Dongchang takes any action in the future, we must give it a heads-up beforehand, and don't just think about winning."

Yi Shiha said dejectedly: "Yes, slaves are guilty of ten thousand deaths..."

Zhu Di waved his hands and said, "Let's go..."

Yishiha also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that His Majesty does not want to continue to investigate further.

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Grandpa Huang came just in time. Now that Hezhou is changing with each passing day, you might as well stay here for a few days. It won't be long. The governor's office will also order people to check the money and grain of Hezhou. As for the situation in Hezhou, Grandpa Huang will naturally know."

When Zhu Di heard the word "Qian Liang", he couldn't help but look at Zhu Zhanji more.

Although this matter was Zhang Anshi's idea, it is obvious that Hezhou is completely under the governance of Zhu Zhanji, and Zhu Di is full of expectations for the political achievements and results.

If there are really outstanding political achievements, then not only does it mean that the three generations of the Ming Dynasty will have a sage king, but the foundation of the Ming Dynasty does not know how far it will go.

Second, out of personal considerations, Zhu Di's favorite is this grandson. Seeing that he is so diligent and effective in governing one side, he can't help being gratified.

Zhu Di then smiled and said to Yang Rong who was beside him: "Yang Qing...how is my grandson?"

Although this was asking Yang Rong, the complacency could no longer be concealed on his face.

Yang Rong said with a smile: "This... I don't dare to make a conclusion yet."

This is very bold.

But Yang Rong continued: "We still need to wait for the amount of money and food to be verified before making a decision."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhu Di couldn't help laughing.

Yang Rong's words really won his heart. If he just blindly talked about sages, who would be convinced by Yang Rong's words?This is just the normal state of flattery, and these words are not new at all.

But if we look at the final political achievements, at least the political achievements on the table are not small, and it seems that Yang Rong is not just bragging, and it seems that Yang Rong speaks cautiously.

Zhu Di nodded and said, "So, that's fine, this is Hezhou... I want to take a good look at it."

Immediately, Zhu Zhanji ordered someone to arrange the trip, and he accompanied Zhu Di to rest at the government office in Hezhou.

On Chen Deng's side, all thoughts were lost, but Zhang Anshi did not intend to expose the matter easily.

Immediately ordered the Jinyiwei Baihu Office in Hezhou to detain him and interrogate him overnight.

Chen Deng, Zhang Sanhe and the others looked ashamed.

It was as if all their energy had been sucked out of them all at once, and they just sat powerlessly.

Not long after, Zhang Anshi walked in slowly, looked at Chen Deng, and said: "Chen Gong is the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. He has a great future, but he is a thief!"

At this time, Chen Deng no longer had the eloquent words in front of the Emperor's Palace today, but said with a disheartened face: "To this day, there is nothing to say."

Zhang Anshi said: "I can't see it all."

Zhang Anshi smiled, and continued: "Chen Gongmin, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly started writing so many articles on the spur of the moment, and leaked so many things about the palace. Could it be that he is so simple... thinking that if he disturbs people's hearts, he can stop it?" New Deal?"

As Zhang Anshi said, he stood up, paced back and forth around Chen Deng, who was already in wooden shackles and shackles, and said, "Others think so...or say it in the past, but you are an important minister in the court, not a Those Hanlins who only know their heads are hot. You said... Is what this king said right?"

Chen Deng glanced at other places, and said: "Differences in Taoism do not conspire with each other."

Zhang Anshi stared straight at him and said, "You are guilty."

Chen Deng remained silent.

Zhang Anshi continued: "Then... why don't you make some guesses. You and others wrote these articles not purely in the hope that writing some articles can cause chaos in the world, but... someone must be conspiring with you! Disturbing people's hearts is your first step, otherwise...with your temperament, you would definitely not be so childish."

Chen Deng sneered: "Heh... Mr. Chen can't understand a word His Highness said."

Zhang Anshi said: "Of course you don't understand, or you pretend to understand because you don't know it on purpose. You just think that with these...you can cover up the real truth of the matter. It's a pity...you forgot, this king and Jin Yiwei, Not vegetarian."

At this moment, Chen Deng's eyes were no longer as dead ashes, but he glanced at Zhang Anshi vigilantly: "Your Highness's words are so convincing, so are you only relying on these inferences?"

"Of course it's not just these." Zhang Anshi said: "I have known your details. In the second year of Jianwen, you went to Fuzhou to recruit soldiers, just to protect King Qin and rescue Emperor Jianwen. After that... Your Majesty will set the world, so you and many ministers Similarly, you chose to surrender, and in the third year of Yongle, you served as the magistrate of Datong, and because of your outstanding achievements, you have successively served as a doctor of the Ministry of War, and now... you have become the right servant of the Ministry of Rites."

Chen Deng pursed his lips, unconsciously showing frustration again, but still didn't say a word.

Zhang Anshidao: "A person of your origin can be regarded as an official with ups and downs. He has gone through a lot of worldly events, but now he wants to teach this king to believe that you are just angry at the crown, or that you only hope to rely on a little If you read the article, the world will be plunged into a turbulent situation, I am afraid that even Chen Gong himself will not believe it?"

"I, Zhang Anshi, would never believe that...a person like this would be so childish and do such useless work! After thinking about it, the only explanation...is that there must be a conspiracy behind this. What you did was nothing but It's just laying out for others, this is just the first step in your plan."

Chen Deng laughed loudly and said, "Your Highness thinks highly of Chen too much."

Zhang Anshi said: "It's not that I think highly of you, but at least I don't think you are so naive."

Chen Deng sighed: "Your Highness can ask other people. Didn't Jin Yiwei arrest so many people?"

"One." Zhang Anshi calmly said: "People are not caught by Jinyiwei, but by Dongchang. Jinyiwei is reluctant to catch useful people like you. From the beginning to the end, Jinyiwei treats you as treasure."

When Chen Deng heard this, his face turned green and white, and he felt his blood surging.

It's okay not to say these words, every time Chen Deng said it, he felt that it was piercing his heart.

"Second." Zhang Anshi continued: "According to my king's expectation, there are probably very few people who are really involved in this matter and know the secret, and the so-called non-secret will lose their identity. Such things must be very few people. As far as I know, as for other people, they are just people like you, in the name of so-called morality, fooling around to take the place of dead ghosts and pawns! Therefore, this king does not ask others, but only you."

Chen Deng laughed: "Perhaps His Highness's judgment was wrong."

Zhang Anshidao: "This king has always firmly believed that people are different. A smart person may do a stupid thing with enthusiasm for a while, but he will never tirelessly do a stupid thing. If you just wrote a few articles to vent your anger, maybe I would believe your words, but in the past six months, Mr. Chen has never slacked off."

"Then the only possibility is that during this process, Chen Gong has always maintained reason. Chen Gong knows what he is doing, and he also knows what risks he is taking, and what consequences it will bring. If a person is so calm and clear-headed, then Chen Gong...put yourself in the shoes of the king, would you believe these words?"

Chen Deng said: "The matter has come to this point, I have nothing to say, I just want to die quickly."

Zhang Anshi sneered, and said: "It's easy to think about death, but it's going to be as difficult as going to heaven if you want to die at Jin Yiwei's hands. Think more about your family and relatives, think about yourself."

Chen Deng closed his eyes, and said: "It seems that this torture is inevitable. Anyway, I have heard for a long time that Jin Yiwei's methods are extraordinary, today... Chen wants to learn."

Although he couldn't see his eyes, there was a look of determination on his face.

Zhang Anshi's face changed slightly, he pondered for a moment, but said nothing, but hurried out of the cell.

Outside the cell, the lights were brightly lit, making people's eyes flicker.Chen Li and the local Jin Yiwei and the others had already been waiting here.

"Your Highness..." Chen Li stepped forward.

Zhang Anshi said: "It's a fraud, this case is really not easy."

Chen Li opened his eyes and said in surprise, "This person...has admitted it?"

Zhang Anshidao: "Although he didn't admit it, he has also seen from his eyes and face that he has other accomplices and has other plans."

Chen Lidao: "Since that's the case, then leave it to Humble, Humble to pry his mouth open."

Zhang Anshi nodded: "Hurry up, we've already startled the enemy, we must make a quick decision."

Speaking of this, Zhang Anshi's handsome face showed a bit of anger, and said: "Those damned Dongchang, we have been watching for so long, maybe we can find out Chen Deng's real intentions! As a result...they did it. Taking people has caused us a lot of trouble now."

Chen Li smiled wryly: "They must have held back for too long, and they really want to get some credit."

Zhang Anshi snorted coldly and said: "They want credit, so you can tell me, I will always leave them a mouthful of soup to drink! Forget it, Chen Deng, I leave it to you. After all, Chen Gong is the great hero of the emperor's grandson." , I can't bear to see him covered in bruises."

"Here."

In response, Chen Li hurried to work!

Silent all night.

In the morning of the next day, a report from Jin Yiwei was delivered to Zhu Di's desk.

Zhu Di was temporarily staying in the shack of the prefectural government office. After receiving the report, he summoned Zhang Anshi to come and dismissed the left and right, but he frowned and said, "What Zhang Qing means is that Chen Deng and others are just the tip of the iceberg?"

Zhang Anshi rarely said solemnly: "According to my judgment, it should be so."

With an angry look on his face, Zhu Di couldn't help but slapped the memorial on the case, and said angrily: "In this way, those bastards in Dongchang are still scaring the snake."

Zhang Anshi said awkwardly: "They probably didn't do it on purpose."

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "This Chen Deng...hasn't spoken yet?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Chen Gong is still stubborn, Jin Yiwei...is already thinking of a way."

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and said: "This person doesn't open his mouth like this, so...unless the matter is too big, he already knows that by now, he will never be spared. Besides, he should hate me to the bone , so I gritted my teeth."

This is a little sensitive.

Zhang Anshi coughed a few times, but didn't answer.

Zhu Di didn't go any further, and asked again: "Who would conspire with him?"

Only then did Zhang Anshi seriously say: "This minister has already asked people to figure out the relationship between Chen Deng, from teachers and students to relatives, to colleagues... Jin Yiwei will definitely not let go of any clues."

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Move quickly, those accomplices are already on alert, and they must not be allowed to escape."

Zhang Anshi said: "Follow the order."

Zhu Di heaved a sigh of relief, but the expression on his face had faded away, but he showed a bit of loneliness. He sighed, and said quietly: "There are so many chaotic ministers in this world, it makes my heart chill!"

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty wants to do great things and implement the New Deal, but he will inevitably be opposed by others, and some people will have ulterior motives to breed other attempts! Isn't this the case from Qin Shihuang to the present? Your Majesty... How many people in the world oppose His Majesty? But as long as His Majesty does the right thing, then there will be more people in the world grateful to His Majesty."

Zhu Di nodded and nodded: "Well..."

…………

and states.

At this time, in this bustling market, there is a big business house, which is well-known in Qixia, and it is the newly-emerged Ma's Shipping Company.

Many commercial firms came here to list their names one after another, which has become a fashion.

But today, the shopkeeper of this shipping company has brought a group of fellows to wait here.

Soon, a gorgeous carriage stopped in front of the door.

One person got out of the car slowly, and the shopkeeper immediately laughed, showing longing for his boss.

His boss was not only a champion, but also grew rapidly after a short time in business.

Now, in just one or two years, it has been able to keep pace with other big shipping lines.

This kind of skill is already a legend.

Ma Yu nodded to the shopkeeper and said, "How is the business here?"

"It's not bad." The shopkeeper bowed respectfully and said: "The owner started to deploy here in Hezhou last year. It is indeed on the right path. Who would have thought that Hezhou can develop so rapidly, and our shipping company will follow suit. A piece of the pie, especially in this place, is the most enthusiastic about Xibei products from outside the region, they are rich... Our overseas spices, ivory and other things are in short supply."

Ma Yu smiled, pursed her lips and said, "From last year to this year, this is the fastest growing one, but... it's not enough just to do this business."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was surprised and said, "My boss means..."

Ma Yu said with a smile: "I came here just for this matter, which is different from the state and other places in the world. Here...whether the ship company can surpass other peers and become the number one ship company in the world depends on these days gone."

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded when he heard this. So far, Ma's Shipping Company is only the third largest shipping company in the world. No matter the size of the ships or the annual profit, there is a gap between the first and second largest shipping companies.

But the owner said that in just a short period of time, he could surpass other boat companies, but he felt incredible.

But Ma Yu didn't seem to want to continue talking, but said with a relaxed face: "I heard that His Majesty also moved here?"

The shopkeeper said, "That's right, it's in the state office. After all, the emperor's grandson is here, and His Majesty loves him dearly. I also heard that the factory guards have caught many rebels."

Ma Yu smiled and said: "The matter of the rebellious party is not so simple. But... speaking of it, our boat trip is thanks to these rebellious parties! Without them, Ma and others would not be able to find a boat that sails so fast. opportunity."

The more the shopkeeper listened, the more confused he became.

But Ma Yu obviously didn't intend to talk about it in depth. He just said: "Prepare the money and continue to deploy in Hezhou. You need as much land, warehouses, and manpower as you have. Besides... I heard His Royal Highness Prince of Wuhu also came to Hezhou with him, but he didn't know where he lived, but he didn't know...whether he could visit him. This His Highness...don't underestimate him, he is the real God of Wealth."

Ma Yu's face was full of appreciation.

So the shopkeeper said: "The villain will arrange it now."

Ma Yu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Thank you."

The shopkeeper was flattered and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare."

Ma Yu just nodded, he was full of ambition, it seemed that at this moment, he already had a strategy in his chest.

……

At this time, Zhang Anshi was still in the Baihu Office, hoping to get some information from Chen Deng.

It's just that Chen Deng, no matter how much physical pain he has suffered, has not let go of his mouth so far, which makes Zhang Anshi a little annoyed.

But at this time, a school captain came quickly, took a name card and handed it forward, saying: "Your Highness, there is a person who claims to be Ma Yu and wants to see him."

Zhang Anshi didn't even think about it, so he subconsciously said: "I don't see, this king is very busy now, this king is here in Hezhou, how come there are so many people wanting to pay respects! Didn't you see that this king is busy?"

But speaking, Zhang Anshi was taken aback for a moment, as if he had come to his senses suddenly, and then said, "Ma Yu?"

He frowned, and after murmuring, he realized...he had an impression of Ma Yu.

This person is the number one scholar, and Ma Yu's merchant ships also contributed a lot to Taiping Prefecture's grain transportation.

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but said to himself: "This guy... why did he suddenly come to Hezhou..."

Zhang Anshi was thoughtful, and then...his eyes widened slightly, as if thinking of something, he murmured: "No way, no way, this guy... just smelled a huge business opportunity? His mother , this person is truly a talent!"
