my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 404

Zhang Anshi seemed a little cramped today.

After all, it was the first time to face the saint as the king of Wuhu County, so it seemed too natural and obviously inappropriate.

Zhu Di didn't care about this, and continued: "I ordered you to suppress Qixia at the beginning, but now I order you to live in Taiping Mansion. Do you know what I mean?"

"Your Majesty knows." Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty hopes that the Taiping Mansion can continue to open up the situation."

Zhu Di said: "How to open up the situation."

Zhang Anshi said embarrassingly: "I can only do my best."

Zhu Di said again: "Be more specific."

Zhang Anshi said: "Cultivate talents, deepen the New Deal, and create a peaceful government."

Zhu Di nodded and said: "You put the word "Yucai" at the top, which shows that you understand me. You can't rely on one family and one surname to do anything. Whoever can achieve great things has no wings? If not, even if you are called an orphan A widow, known as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, this will is not good, and there is nothing to do."

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhu Di took a deep look at Zhang Anshi, and said, "In the Jiangxi chief envoy, they actually wanted to kill the king, and even wanted to kill you. It can be seen... now, there is no way for me and you to go. Of course , It’s not that there is no way out at all, but I can abolish the New Deal, return everything to the original track, and follow the example of Song Renzong. But the New Deal has reached this point, and the benefits of the New Deal to the community and the people are real, I How can you have the heart to throw all this in vain?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Di sighed: "Since there is no way to retreat, then I will point to you and continue to work hard. Now the situation is dangerous, the frustrated people in the world are ready to move, and there are also people in the court who are against the New Deal. And the henchmen of the quickest ones, you... have to use your heart, be sincere, and don't be timid and cowering."

The words have been chosen very clearly.

Zhu Di already had plans to break the boat, and this desperate signal was Zhang Anshi becoming king.

To recite the law of the ancestors and set a precedent for the Ming Dynasty is actually to tell the people of the world that the New Deal at the court level is non-negotiable, and there is no room for change at all.

He, Zhu Laosi, even Emperor Gao, was no longer secretly rebellious, but openly violated the ancestral laws of Emperor Gao, so there was no possibility of compromise.

Zhang Anshi said: "I obey the order."

Zhu Di stared at him with dissatisfaction and said: "Today you are saying yes, and you are being obedient, don't you have anything to say?"

Zhang Anshi paused for a moment, but said: "I have something to do, I beg Your Majesty's permission."

Zhu Di paced and said, "Speak."

Zhang Anshidao: "The emperor's grandson is now sixteen years old, and it is the year of dancing elephants. I heard people say that when he is fifteen, he can dance elephants and learn archery. At this age, the emperor's grandson is no longer suitable to live in the East Palace for a long time. I implore your majesty to let him go." He left the Eastern Palace to take up a position, so that he can sharpen himself."

After Zhu Di heard this, he was a little surprised, obviously he didn't expect that Zhang Anshi would suddenly mention the matter of the emperor's grandson.

But regarding the emperor's grandson, Zhu Di naturally became serious, and said, "According to what you said, how should you temper yourself?"

Zhang Anshi said: "The commercial bank, Jinyiwei, and Taiping Mansion can be chosen by themselves."

Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, as if he understood something all of a sudden, so he gave Zhang Anshi a meaningful look, and said, "You bastard, you actually set your mind on my grandson."

Zhang Anshi met Zhu Di's gaze calmly, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. I know that Your Majesty loves the emperor's grandson, but I am the emperor's grandson's uncle. Is there any uncle in the world who doesn't love his nephew? But the emperor If Sun has been doing nothing, I think it is wrong, but now... the new policy is coming soon, and when I am employing people, first, it can sharpen the emperor and grandson, so that he can take charge of himself in the future. Second, it can also inspire people's hearts."

In fact, there is one thing Zhang Anshi didn't say, that is... the meaning of the emperor's grandson to the whole world is different. He is the heir apparent of almost everyone, and even his status is much stronger than his father's.

In other words, it may not be surprising that the prince Zhu Gaochi did not inherit the throne, but if the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji did not succeed in the succession, then the sun really came out from the west.

Who in the world doesn't know Zhu Di's attitude towards the emperor's grandson?

Almost every now and then, someone would ask the emperor about his grandson's daily life.

Every time there is a big banquet in the palace, Zhu Di scolds the sky and the earth, but only when he sees Zhu Zhanji, can he have a smiling face.

Even Zhu Zhanji immediately organized a young army and recruited a large number of young people as retinues shortly after he came of age.

This kind of treatment far surpassed that of Prince Zhu Gaochi.

However, although Zhang Anshi's suggestion was suggested by Yang Pu, in fact, Zhang Anshi thought it was very reliable from the bottom of his heart.

It may not be possible for the emperor's grandson to come out to do things in person, and it may not be possible for other emperors of Ming Dynasty, but it is very reasonable when it comes to Zhu Di.

You must know that in history, Zhu Di would bring Zhu Zhanji with him almost every time he went on an expedition, teach him the principles of running the army, and even allow Zhu Zhanji to participate in some less dangerous military operations.

This is why, after Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, he dared to visit border towns in person, the most famous of which was the Battle of Kuanhe.

At that time, Zhu Zhanji went to inspect the border town, and learned that the Wuliangha tribe of Mongolia rebelled, and tens of thousands of people raided the frontier fortress of Ming Dynasty.

So Zhu Zhanji personally led 3000 people to counter the rebellion. When the two armies met, Zhu Zhanji personally shot and killed three enemy forwards.

Since then, the Wuliangha tribe was defeated, and Zhu Zhanji's soldiers and horses had a large number of firearms and insufficient cavalry. In order to pursue, Zhu Zhanji simply took hundreds of fine cavalry to pursue.

It can be seen from this that Zhu Di brought Zhu Zhanji with him every time he attacked the desert.

If it weren't for Zhu Di's tempering when he was young, he would dare to let him go to military operations in person.After Zhu Zhanji proclaimed himself emperor, it was absolutely impossible for him to personally lead the army horse when he was confronted by the Mongol Wuliangha rebels, and he even personally shot the arrow to kill the Wuliangha forward.

It is even more impossible to make a direct pursuit with a few hundred elite cavalry.

Therefore, Zhang Anshi has always suspected that the biggest grievance in the history of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Yingzong, known as the son of heaven, was deceived by Wang Zhen in history, and finally suffered the defeat of the Tumu Fortress, which changed the history of the Ming Dynasty. Some of the historical materials is debatable.

People in later generations always believed that Ming Yingzong's personal conquest was the result of instigation by treacherous officials headed by Wang Zhen, but from the perspective of Ming Yingzong's period, the emperor's personal conquest was actually a very normal military action.

In Ming Yingzong's view, Emperor Taizu Gao immediately won the world, and he did not know how many military battles he participated in.

And his own great-grandfather, Zhu Di, started from Jingnan. After becoming emperor, he conquered the desert six times.

His father, Zhu Zhanji, was also a ruthless man who chased and killed the Mongolians on the border.

To some extent, personal conquest is actually a traditional skill of the old Zhu family. At least before Ming Yingzong, it was indeed the case. It is roughly equivalent to the daily activities of every emperor after he ascended the throne. There is no need for a group of loyal ministers to beg, Your Majesty It can't be like this, and then a group of villains headed by Wang Zhen, sneaky temptations and tricks to overcome all opinions, and then decided to personally conquer.

Of course, food is the original sin. The problem with Ming Yingzong is not that he conscripted himself, but because of the comparison of food.

In the eyes of others, the emperor's grandson has a noble status, so naturally he must be very precious, and there should be no danger.

But obviously, for Zhu Di, Zhang Anshi's proposal made Zhu Di a little distracted. He pondered and said, "Can the emperor's grandson take on the big responsibility?"

"I don't know, but...you can learn if you don't know it, and if you don't, you can scold him. There will always be a time to learn." Zhang Anshi replied honestly.

Zhu Di nodded and said, "It depends on his own wishes."

It means agreeing.

Zhang Anshi immediately expressed great joy and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Zhu Di deliberately put on a bit of awe and said: "It's a good tempering, I don't ask about other things."

Zhang Anshi responded: "Observe the order."

Zhu Di sighed: "You are the king of the county now, and you should look like the king of the county."

Zhang Anshi said: "Yes, yes, yes."

Zhu Di spoke earnestly, and after discussing the business, as an elder respecting relatives, Zhu Di inevitably had to teach Zhang Anshi a lesson: "I heard that the censors impeached you for being arrogant and rude, are there any of these?"

Zhang Anshi said helplessly: "Ah... this..."

Zhu Di said with a straight face: "You are not young anymore, if you are not a teenager, how can you be rude? You can be decisive in handling things, but you still need to put on a show in front of others."

Zhang Anshi said: "..."

Zhu Di said, "Why didn't you speak?"

Zhang Anshi rubbed his head, and said with annoyed expression: "I'm thinking, where is my rudeness?"

Zhu Di smiled and said, "That's right, let's examine myself three times."

"After thinking about it, it may be because I scold my mother a lot on weekdays." Zhang Anshi thought about it seriously.

After Zhu Di heard this, he was speechless for a while, and finally said: "Okay, it's getting late, go and open your mansion, and take care of your affairs."

Zhang Anshi hurriedly resigned as if he had received an amnesty.

"His Majesty."

Yishi smiled and served tea, and said, "The king of Wuhu County...is still a young man at heart."

Zhu Di said: "He is not a teenager anymore, he will think about things."

Yi Shiha smiled, as if listening attentively.

Zhu Di said: "Let the emperor's grandson go out of the palace, he has a good plan."

Yi Shiha smiled and said: "Yes, not only the grandson of the Pope has sharpened it, but also inspires people's hearts..."

Zhu Di said: "It's more than that, he doesn't want to be the standard-bearer of the New Deal, he wants the emperor's grandson to buy this man's heart!"

"It's so, His Majesty thought too deeply. I didn't expect the king of Wuhu County to learn how to protect himself wisely." Yi Shiha still smiled.

In fact, everyone in Yishihabi knows what kind of plan Zhang Anshi is playing. If you want to survive in the palace, if you don't have more than a dozen minds, you will have been killed a long time ago.

What's more, it's Yi Shiha who stands out from this group of people?

It's just that Yi Shiha can't break through these words, and only His Majesty can break through this matter.

A truly shrewd person does not lie in how to show one's shrewdness, but in hiding one's edge.

……

Zhang Anshi said goodbye to Zhu Di, and came to the East Palace non-stop, and conveyed Zhu Di's "word of mouth" to Zhu Zhanji face to face.

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Zhanji looked a little excited, and said with great interest: "Uncle, in this way, I can also be alone?"

"No, I'm not alone, I'm an errand." Zhang Anshi said: "Choose an errand yourself. There are also many errands in the Jinyiwei, Commercial Firm, and Taiping Mansion. You can handle it yourself. You are too young, so be a small official. "

Zhu Zhanji's face tensed, the smile on his face disappeared all of a sudden, and he said angrily, "Uncle, I'm going to talk to my concubine..."

"Go, go quickly." Zhang Anshi looked completely fearless, and even sneered: "I was just about to talk to my sister about this. My sister understands righteousness and general principles, so I wish I could."

Zhu Zhanji suddenly looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, and said weakly: "Then what do you think uncle will do?"

Zhang Anshi pondered and said: "Qixia Merchants Department needs manpower, you might as well give it a try."

Zhu Zhanji asked, "Department of Investment Promotion, what are you doing?"

"Deal with merchants."

Zhu Zhanji said: "But I don't know how to deal with people."

Zhang Anshi said: "You can learn what you don't understand, it's okay, uncle is here."

Zhu Zhanji thought of something again, and said again: "But if you bring many guards...would it be wrong?"

Zhang Anshi didn't have time to think about it and said: "Uncle will arrange it. When it comes to protection, no one understands it better than Uncle. Don't worry."

Zhang Anshi was in a posture that did not allow him to have an excuse for refusing, so Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to nod.

After finishing his work, Zhang Anshi hurried back to Qixia.

This county prince's mansion has a bright sign hanging high up, even if it looks good.

There is office in the front, and the inner courtyard of the palace is in the back, which is similar to the Forbidden City.

Of course, the most distinctive thing here is the turrets here and there. Each turret is a sentry post. Entering this county palace, the walls are thick and thick. If a stranger comes in, there is no one to lead the way, and he will rush rashly. He must get lost.

At this time, Zhang Anshi ascended the seat.

Taiping mansion came to congratulate one after another.

Now all the officials in the Taiping Mansion are already Zhang Anshi's subordinates.

Zhang Anshi didn't show any joy at the moment, but said: "Because of His Majesty's great love, I was conferred the title of king. I am in awe and trepidation, walking on thin ice, lest I fail to serve the court and feel ashamed of your Majesty. Everyone is here today. It's very good. Let me announce something first." One thing, this king's Changshi Mansion needs a lot of manpower."

For the county king, the status of Changshi Mansion is equivalent to Wenyuan Pavilion, which belongs to the secretarial institution.

Of course, this secretary is not the ideal kind of secretary who is fine during the day and fine at night.

What they are responsible for is uploading and distributing, which is like Zhang Anshi's right-hand man.

And it must be young, the future is naturally limitless.

Zhang Anshi seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and directly photographed a roster, and then said: "Just follow this."

After everyone listened, they circulated it one after another.

But when I looked closely, I found that there was no one I knew.

This makes people suspicious.

Gao Xiang looked puzzled, and couldn't help but said: "The governor..."

Zhang Anshi said: "It's Your Highness."

Gao Xiang smirked and said, "His Royal Highness Wuhu County, among the roster... most of the lower officials are incomprehensible, for example... this Yu Qian...is a Juren from Zhejiang. There is nothing wrong with Shifu, but is this person willing to come here for business? The second is... this person is not familiar with the situation in Taipingfu, will he..."

He gave an example.

And this person named Yu Qian, although he is a Juren, but from the perspective of Gao Xiang, there are too many Juren in Daming, and in the roster, most of them are Yu Qian who is not well-known and has little relationship with the Taiping Mansion. student.

Zhang Anshi was obviously prepared for someone to ask questions. He smiled and said: "I know your doubts. The Changshi Mansion is a secretary supervisor. Its essence is from the superior. They are unfamiliar with the Taiping Mansion. Let them get familiar with it slowly. The important thing is to recruit talented people. Talented people are the foundation of the New Deal, and only the best of the world can enter the Taiping Mansion, then things will be settled."

Zhang Anshi continued: "You are all hard-working talents, that's why I let you take the lead. As for Yu Qian, I have ordered someone to invite him. If he refuses, that's fine. Don't worry, Your Majesty will take action and he will come down." decree!"

This Yu Qian is not the Yu Qian known to later generations.

This Yu Qian does not like to smoke or drink, but he is a famous figure. It can even be said that if there are many stars in the history of the Ming Dynasty, then this Yu Qian must be the most shining one among them.

Obviously, what Zhang Anshi needs most is people, and plastic young people. These young people must have integrity, be indomitable, and have a smart mind that is different from ordinary people. They must also have the courage to stand out from the crowd in critical situations. courage.

Right now, Zhejiang Juren Yu Qian has become the focus of Zhang Anshi's recruitment.

As for whether Yu Qian agrees with the New Deal, Zhang Anshi doesn't care, because he knows this kind of person, as long as he is recruited, let him personally understand the essence of the New Deal and the changes it can bring. Enemy against the New Deal.

Naturally, besides Yu Qian, there are many other people in the roster.

It can be said that in the next three to fifty years, Zhang Anshi has racked his brains and pondered over all the heroes, and has already searched all the heroes in this list.

After Gao Xiang listened, he murmured: "Since Your Highness thinks it is so appropriate, then the officials and others will definitely have no objection."

Zhang Anshi was thinking of something right now, and said, "How is the situation on Qixia's side now?"

While speaking, someone slowly stood up, it was Chen Li.

Chen Li is not an official of the county prince's mansion, he is here today just to attend.

At this moment, Chen Li calmed down and looked at Zhang Anshi gratefully.

Zhang Anshi is already the king of the county, and soon there should be a vacancy in the position of Jin Yiwei's commander. If there are no accidents...

Obviously, the reason why Chen Li thought that he was very likely to get the position of commander was naturally the result of Zhang Anshi's strong recommendation.

Chen Li said calmly, "Your Highness, everything has been arranged properly."

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "Everything is ready?"

Chen Li said firmly, "I only owe Dongfeng."

After Zhang Anshi listened, he cheered up and said with radiance: "Very good, let's go to Dongfeng, let's do it!"

This remark shook the rubble!
