my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 281

Chapter 281

Zhang Anshi led Yi Wang Zhu out of the palace.

Zhang Anshi said as he walked: "In the past few days, don't go back to the government school first, and you will help me when entering and leaving the palace."

Zhu nodded and let out an oh.

He looked downcast.

Zhang Anshi comforted: "Come on, we should go meet the culprit."

The culprit...

Zhu showed doubts.

Zhang Anshi went all the way to Qixia, and then under Chen Li's guidance, he entered the Imperial Prison.

In the prison, the detainees are already overcrowded.

Now that the roster was obtained, then... Jin Yiwei began to search for the rest of the backbone.

Ordinary congregants of course don't need to be arrested, but some key personnel must be caught.

As for how to deal with it in the future, it is a matter of two opinions.

Li Xizhou was already bruised all over his body, with a grim face, he was hung up in the air, muttering to himself, as if he was chanting scriptures.

For some reason, Zhang Anshi wanted to laugh whenever this guy recited scriptures.

Yiwang Zhu looked up at Li Xizhou, and said in his mouth, "President Xi, what is he reading?"

"It should be cursing us, are you afraid?"

Yi Wang Zhu said very honestly: "I'm only afraid of the fist of the emperor's brother."

Zhang Anshi asked someone to move a chair, and then sat down in front of Li Xizhou.

He looked at the dying Li Xizhou, frowned and said, "Why are you so ruthless, don't beat him to death."

Standing aside, Chen Li blushed, and hurriedly said, "Yes, I must pay attention next time, humble."

Zhang Anshi said: "If there is any danger to his life, he must call a good doctor in time and take medicine in time. No matter how much it costs, he must be saved."

Chen Lidao: "The doctors in this prison are all the best. Being humble is not bragging. The imperial doctors in the palace are not as good as them."

Zhang Anshi scolded: "You are good and don't learn, but you want to compare yourself with the bad?"

Chen Li said with a look of bewilderment, "Ah... this..."

Zhang Anshi immediately looked at Li Xizhou, and asked Yi Wangzhu: "You probably already know the facts of the case. Let me tell you, this person in front of you...how can I get him to speak?"

Zhu Que said, "President Xi, don't be a fool."

Zhang Anshi smiled, walked around with his hands behind his back, and said, "Li Xizhou, do you still recognize me?"

Li Xizhou tried his best to open his swollen eyes, looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "I know him even when he turns into ashes."

Zhang Anshi said: "Will you explain the things in the palace?"

Li Xizhou shook his head, he said hysterically: "I won't say it, time is running out, if you let my family go... maybe... there is still a chance..."

Zhang Anshi smiled slightly and said, "Your family...is impossible to survive."

Li Xizhou said: "Then let's die together."

Zhang Anshi said mockingly: "To die together, what do you use to die with us? Do you think that relying on the Jin family, you are entitled to die together?"

As soon as this remark came out, Li Xizhou's face changed, he shuddered, and stared at Zhang Anshi suddenly: "You...how did you know?"

Zhang Anshi looked at him contemptuously and said, "How can you hide your tricks from others? If you want others to know, you have to do nothing! You see, now you and your family have one more crime."

Li Xizhou trembled again involuntarily. Since he came here, he was executed repeatedly. He still had obsessions in his heart. He just felt that... as long as he still had something in his hands, maybe there was still a glimmer of possibility, the court would compromise with him.

And now... even the last bit of hole cards are gone.

He burst into tears: "Hey... since Shengyu and Shengliang, how did it come to this point?"

His voice became more and more sad, then he gritted his teeth, and suddenly let out a long sigh of despair: "Hey..."

He sighed.

Looking at him, Zhang Anshi showed a hint of curiosity on his face, and said, "I've always wondered why...you can give orders to so many Bailian Taoists in the world while you're in a mere small county? You pretending to be a ghost Do the people around you really believe in this trick?"

Li Xizhou... It seems that because the psychological defense line has collapsed, all thoughts are gone at this time, and he just said intermittently: "It's not because people believe it or not, it's because many people in the world hope to have such a person."

Zhang Anshi stared at Li Xizhou, he was silent, waiting with bated breath for him to continue.

Li Xizhou said: "It's like, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Han Shantong and Liu Futong were the same. Don't many people know that they were pretending to be gods and ghosts? They buried stone men and preached that the stone man had one eye, and this thing came out of the world Reverse, does everyone really believe it? Heh...Actually...it's just that everyone thinks against it, because everyone thinks against it, so some people pretend to be gods and tricks, so people all over the world follow them and believe in their words."

Zhang Anshi was silent for a while thoughtfully, and then said: "You are too exalted. Compared with people like Liu Futong and Han Shantong, you are far behind. They are pretending to be gods and ghosts in order to resist, but you are just It's money-grabbing."

Li Xizhou said: "The number of ways is the same. Even if Han Shantong and Liu Futong are alive in this world, they may not be able to call many people to rebel with their original methods. In the same way, if I only used it to promote it at that time, my I'm afraid the White Lotus Sect is far less popular than the White Lotus Sect they preached."

Zhang Anshi said: "There is some truth to it."

Li Xizhou went on to say: "I'm just following the hearts of the people. Ordinary people, by saving money and clothing, offered their belongings and gave them to me in exchange for their peace of mind. But those Bailian Taoists in all states and counties in the world are worried about themselves. The tenants under my hand are always dissatisfied with the rent or for other reasons, causing trouble."

"Thus, with the White Lotus Sect, these local tyrants gave me money, and I asked them to be the White Lotus Taoist. With this status, the tenants below have no complaints. Not only do they dare not care about the rent , Even if it’s a holiday, they still have to save money and send their belongings to this Taoist Bailian’s home to show their piety.”

Li Xizhou paused, and continued: "In the end, it's just your Four Books and Five Classics. In order to make yourself different from others, you pretend to be profound. What these Four Books and Five Classics violate is just the same as the current Zen and Taoism. The problem is that he is self-styled, and regards these profound and obscure things as his capital to distinguish himself from the common people. Don't look at what the government usually says about enlightenment and enlightenment, but ordinary people can't understand a word of what the gentry and scholars say. It’s hard to even speak.”

Li Xizhou was coughing desperately at this moment, his whole body seemed to be in excruciating pain, and his face was wrinkled.

After a while, he said again: "It is true that this can teach people... to be complacent and self-satisfied, but the downside is that the common people are always restless, and if they refuse to settle down, it will inevitably make people uneasy. My White Lotus Sect , that is to say to those ignorant people, the people believe that, then the powerful and rich households in those places, even the gentry and scholars, would also like to get a Bailian Taoist, it is easy and labor-saving, and there are benefits, why not do it? "

"As for those local governments, one thing more is worse than one thing less. So... even without me, without this White Lotus Sect, there will still be other people, and other things will come out."

Zhang Anshi sneered, and said: "It's really a good idea. I didn't expect that a so-called White Lotus Sect would count everyone's hearts. In this way, those local parents and officials, as well as local school officials, are all It's a wine bag and a rice bag, and it's not even as good as you liars."

Zhang Anshi had to admit that this Li Xizhou was definitely an expert in playing tricks.

Li Xizhou's face was extremely ugly, but he insisted: "This is different. Those people... rely on the Four Books and Five Classics to become officials. What does it matter to them whether they educate the people? But we are different. We have nothing. If we don't have the ability to let People who believe our words are nothing."

Zhang Anshi said: "There is some truth to this."

After speaking, Zhang Anshi stood up, but he said calmly: "You have committed a heinous crime, and now you have finally said a few words. The reason why I came here is to tell you that you have no cards left. In the next three You will suffer a lot in [-], and after three years, you will not be delayed. You have said so many words just now, it can be seen that you are a very smart person, but a person who is too smart, but puts these Smart, if you use it on such a heinous thing, then... you must bear the consequences."

After saying the last words, Zhang Anshi walked out of the torture room, and confessed: "From now on, the attack should be serious, and don't kill him."

After all, he left the cell without looking back.

Standing outside the cell, he let out a long breath, Yiwang Zhu came out, and Zhang Anshi said, "Do you know why I brought you here?"

Zhu shook his head.

Zhang Anshi said: "After seeing it, how do you feel?"

"Scary." Zhu honestly replied.

"Of course it's scary." Zhang Anshi said: "But since Jinyiwei has to face such things, people can't stay in the greenhouse all the time. In this world, there are always people who face the darkness. It's not you, it's someone else. This official school, Are you still reading it?"

Without any hesitation, Zhu said, "Read."

"Why?"

Zhang Anshi seemed a little surprised that this guy was so straightforward.

"Although it's scary, it's also exciting." Zhu said.

Zhang Anshi: "..."

Zhang Anshi immediately said: "After graduating from the official school, do you plan to join Jinyiwei?"

"Me?" Zhu looked surprised, and then said: "I'm afraid the emperor won't allow it."

Zhang Anshi said: "As long as you insist on going your own way, His Majesty can't do anything to you, can he still beat you to death?"

Zhu Dao: "Then I'll go and tell Brother Huang that the head teacher admires me very much and hopes that I will stay in Jinyiwei."

Zhang Anshi's eyes widened immediately, and he scolded: "You are not worthy to be my student."

Zhu then drooped his head and said aggrievedly: "I am willing to stay, I like being in the school, and I hope to stay in Weili like my classmates in the future."

Zhang Anshi said: "Let's talk about it at that time, but...the reason why I showed you this is another reason. What do you think when you see this person?"

"He harmed the emperor's wife, so naturally I wish I could tear him into pieces."

"Chop into pieces?" Zhang Anshi looked at him teasingly and said, "I'll give you a knife, are you really willing to chop him into pieces?"

Zhu nodded seriously: "Really."

Zhang Anshi also became serious, and said: "But have you ever thought that cutting people into pieces is addictive."

"Addictive?"

Zhang An Shidao; "A person will become more and more violent after experiencing blood."

Zhu seemed puzzled: "But isn't that what Jin Yiwei does?"

"Jin Yiwei is helping the world and killing non-officials. Is that what he did?" Zhang Anshi said angrily, "If Jin Yiwei is regarded as a violent machine, then it is no different from Ji Gang, but it is used to eliminate dissidents. In the end Violence will overwhelm reason, and it will become more and more indiscriminate between right and wrong!"

"Do you hope that Jin Yiwei will become like this in the end?"

Zhu immediately shook his head, but said, "But there's nothing you can do about it."

"It is necessary to let people face the darkness, but also to have a bright side." Zhang Anshi's tone gradually became calm: "So I have a plan, to promote some hobbies in Weili and government schools, so that people can participate in it." , such as kicking cuju, playing chess, or other recreational activities. In this way, after tense killing, it is rare to relax, which can relieve such violence. But everything is difficult at the beginning, and we must encourage everyone to do it like this... "

Zhang Anshi paused, and then said: "I've been thinking about it, and I want to hold some competitions in Weili and the school, such as chess games, or Cuju competitions, or some Weili people's calligraphy exhibitions. In addition, we need to set up an internal publication, which is responsible for collecting the deeds of some guards and writing them into articles. There are both praises and criticisms, and we are also willing to accept contributions from guards and schools. , It is to cultivate interest, to separate bloody work and peaceful interest."

"Oh." Zhu nodded: "So that's the case, but... what does this have to do with me?"

Zhang Anshi said: "You have good eyes and ears, you can help me find out in the school and in the Weili, what other hobbies do you all have, of course they must be healthy hobbies."

Zhu thought for a while, but asked, "What is a healthy hobby?"

Zhang Anshi said patiently: "It's a good hobby."

"I understand, why didn't the head teacher say it earlier, leave it to me, I can handle it properly." Zhu patted his chest and said.

Zhang Anshi said: "Okay, let's go back to school."

Zhu Oh let out a cry, turned around and walked a few steps, but suddenly stopped and turned around. At this moment, he burst into tears: "Chief teacher..."

Zhang Anshi said: "What is it?"

"Sister-in-law... will be fine, right?"

Zhang Anshi pursed his lips, but did not answer immediately.

Zhu seemed to have grown up a lot all of a sudden. He looked at Zhang Anshi and seemed to understand something, so he turned around and left.

…………

Zhang Anshi went back home.

Seeing Xu Jingyi who was also pregnant with Liujia, Zhang Anshi couldn't help but said with fear: "Hey...so I always said that one must be careful in life. It seems that I was right to be cautious all these years."

Xu Jingyi was about to give birth, probably because she was about to become a mother, she seemed to be more gentle and easy-going.

After hearing Zhang Anshi's nonsensical words, she asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Anshi shook his head, and didn't say anything about the palace. He was afraid that she would be worried, so he changed the topic and said, "You have to be more careful these few days, the baby is supposed to be born, but... I might be busy these few days , when the time comes... I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of it."

Xu Jingyi smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, husband, I can take care of myself, besides, there are so many people around me watching."

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but said: "It's really a tiger father without a dog girl."

Xu Jingyi said: "What?"

Zhang Anshi hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just thought of Master Taishan."

There was nothing to say all night, and on the next day, Zhang Anshi entered the palace to have an audience.

As soon as a person arrives at the Meridian Gate, he sees the eunuch waiting here.

As soon as the eunuch saw Zhang Anshi, he hurriedly said: "Duke Wei, Your Majesty has an order that Duke Wei go straight into the palace."

Zhang Anshi nodded tacitly, hurried to the palace, and trotted to Empress Xu's bedroom.

Outside the sleeping hall, Imperial Physician Xu looked forward to it, waiting for Zhang Anshi to come.

"how?"

"It's still the same." Xu Taiyi said: "I have been listening to the fetal heart rate all night... but it has been around eighty times... Madam also feels a little uncomfortable..."

Doctor Xu lowered his voice.

In fact, he is no longer a doctor, but a medical officer, that is, he manages the medical clinics of the world.

But now, he has to come when he should, every time he comes to the palace to see a doctor for the nobles, he feels terrified, and only when he sees Zhang Anshi can he feel at ease.

Zhang Anshi nodded, and then entered the sleeping hall together with Imperial Physician Xu.

Seeing Zhang Anshi, Zhu Di said, "You come, and the others step down."

As if granted amnesty, Imperial Physician Xu hurriedly withdrew from the palace with other eunuchs and court maids.

Zhang Anshi went forward, saluted first, and said, "Is your lady alright?"

Zhu Di sighed and said in a low voice, "She just fell asleep."

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Empress Xu, her voice became softer: "She also feels that the child in her belly... tell me, what is the worst outcome of the current situation?"

Zhang Anshi said: "The worst result is that both the big and the small can't be kept."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di gasped, and his face turned pale instantly.

He tried his best to restrain himself, and still said softly: "How about a better result?"

"Think of a way...to keep the empress." Zhang Anshi said.

After Zhu Di heard this, his Adam's apple rolled: "Is the child lost?"

Zhang Anshi could only remain silent.

Zhu Di said desolately: "Hey... she has a child in old age, she has suffered so much, and finally made it to this day, I don't know how sad she should be."

Zhang Anshi said: "Actually, I am also worried about this."

"You said."

Zhang Anshi said: "My lady and even the lover, after suffering such a blow, they must be depressed. In addition... during the treatment process, I am afraid that my health will not be good. Under this double blow..."

He didn't go on, but the meaning was self-evident.

Zhu Di put his hands behind his back, and he nodded subconsciously. Of course he knew what Zhang Anshi meant. Empress Xu's health was not good, and coupled with the pain of losing her son, her heart was depressed. This was definitely a fatal blow.

Zhu Di said quickly: "Anyway, you find a way... come up with a charter, I... hope she..."

When Zhu Di said this, he suddenly became gentle: "I hope she is fine."

"Cough cough..."

A clear cough interrupted Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi's words.

Both Zhang Anshi and Zhu Di looked at the phoenix couch in the distance.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has a message." Empress Xu spoke suddenly.

It turned out that she hadn't slept at all, and the reason she "slept down" was because she was afraid that Zhu Di would be worried, but in fact, she had heard everything from Zhang Anshi entering the palace to the whispering with Zhu Di.

Zhu Di hurried forward and said, "What's the matter?"

Empress Xu on the couch waved to Zhang Anshi. She sat up, leaned on the pillow, stared at Zhang Anshi and said, "Zhang Qing's family, can the child be kept?"

She asked very seriously, while Zhu Di was watching, his face suddenly became ugly.

Zhu Di knew Empress Xu best. Empress Xu was a very assertive person. She was said to be stubborn on weekdays, but once Empress Xu made up her mind, even Zhu Di couldn't hold back her.

Zhang Anshi hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look into Empress Xu's eyes.

Empress Xu said: "Zhang Qing's family, if you speak frankly, there is no need to hide anything."

Zhang Anshi had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "The child is still young...and...at this time...he is already in danger in his belly, minister...chen..."

"In other words, it's not hopeless?"

"There will be danger." Zhang Anshi said: "And even if he can be born, there is no guarantee..."

Zhang Anshi felt that these words were cruel, and he couldn't say any more.

Empress Xu closed her eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "Is Jingyi okay now? The baby should be born by this time."

Zhang Anshi nodded.

"Hey, you guys don't know what it's like to be a mother. If it's Jingyi, she will definitely understand what I mean."

Zhang Anshi just drooped his head, as if he was being reprimanded.

Empress Xu continued: "In the early years, I gave birth to three sons and four daughters for Your Majesty. Now... the youngest child has grown up. Now... I am pregnant again, perhaps because of my age, so... ...I always feel that this pregnancy is extraordinarily hard. But no matter how hard it is, I don't complain. This is because, these days, I always look forward to seeing this child..."

Zhu Di looked sad, and said, "What are you talking about now, hey..."

Empress Xu said: "Zhang Qing's family is capable. If...the child has even the slightest chance of surviving, please also Zhang Qing's family and don't give up."

She stretched out her hand all of a sudden, took Zhang Anshi's hand, and said kindly: "I hope Zhang Qing can understand my feelings."

Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "Yes, yes."

Empress Xu immediately let go of Zhang Anshi's hand, smiled and said: "Zhang Qing is the most promising among the younger ones, so... I will say what I have to say, after all, Zhang Qing will make up his mind."

Zhang Anshi said: "Chen...Chen, go and think about a regulation first."

As he spoke, he gave Zhu Di a look.

Zhu Di got up, and the two left the hall one after the other.

As soon as he came out, Zhu Di said: "This is a woman's benevolence, Zhang Qing..."

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I'm thinking..."

Zhu Di calmed down, sighed and said, "Speak."

Zhang Anshi said: "I'm thinking... once the child is gone, can the empress be able to bear it? It has always been...she is not in good health, and her spirit is not very good..."

Rarely, Zhu Di seemed very powerless, and sighed, "Then what do you think we should do?"

"There may be some danger." Zhang Anshi said: "And the minister is actually not too sure."

Zhu Di opened his eyes slightly and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty himself just said..."

Zhu Di pressed his hands and said worriedly: "How sure are you?"

"Five to sixty percent." Zhang Anshi said: "However, the danger of the empress has also increased by a few percent."

Zhu Di stared at Zhang Anshi, but hesitantly said, "Actually, I can't make up my mind right now..."

He appears anxious.

So, looking around, Zhu Di saw Imperial Physician Xu who was trying to hide himself in the corner.

Zhu Di said, "You come."

"Yes." Imperial physician Xu failed to hide, so frightened, he hurried forward and saluted: "Mr...."

Zhu Di said: "You heard what I said, what do you think?"

Doctor Xu said: "Chen...Chen..."

Zhu Di said: "You are a great medical officer, can't you even come up with such an idea? What use do I want you to be?"

Zhu Di shouted loudly.

Doctor Xu hugged his head subconsciously.

It doesn't matter if you don't hug it, but if you hug it, Zhu Di can't hold back anymore.

Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, forget it, forget it, this is not the time to do this."

Zhu Di took a deep breath and said, "Then you figure out a way."

Zhang Anshi gritted his teeth: "Then give it a try. If something really happens to the empress, it's a big deal... I will bear the blame."

Zhu Di said: "Since you have made up your mind, then give it a try..."

He was silent for a moment: "It's not your turn to bear this crime, just teach this bird man to bear it. If there is any mistake, I will cut him."

Zhu Di pointed.

This finger miraculously touched Tai Physician Xu's body.

Doctor Xu only felt his eyes go dark.

"Since that's the case, then we must make preparations quickly, Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Zhu Di said: "Everyone in the palace is at your command, and these imperial physicians..."

Zhu Di paused: "I don't understand the matter of having a baby, so I can only rely on you."

Zhang Anshi said: "Yes."

Zhang Anshi took a deep breath. Right now, there is actually no other way, that is to start production in advance.

And early production... At least in this era, it is very dangerous.

If in later life, the solution is very simple, just caesarean section.

However, laparotomy is obviously too dangerous in this era. After all, this is not appendectomy. If Zhang Anshi is given ten or twenty years, it can actually be solved technically step by step.

Right now...the only way...is to go the other way.

Zhang Anshi winked at Imperial Physician Xu.

Doctor Xu was still in a daze.

Zhang Anshi coughed: "Doctor Xu..."

Only then did Dr. Xu come back to his senses, so he hurriedly followed Zhang Anshi to the corner.

"Duke Wei, do you really have a solution?"

"There is a way, it's a bit dangerous, and there's also a huge problem." Zhang Anshi said: "It's just a bit of a taboo, think about it, we are two big men."

Imperial Physician Xu took a deep breath, then stared at Zhang Anshi and said, "Don't worry about it, Duke Wei. To be precise, I'm not really a man anymore."

Zhang Anshi: "..."

Doctor Xu lowered his head and said, "Old man...have been inhumane for many years, and you know...you're getting old."

"But I think you are only over forty years old."

Imperial Physician Xu coughed: "Let's not worry about this for now, don't talk about it, don't talk about it."
