  Chapter 396 You Dare to Represent the Crown Prince

  The ship first arrived at the ferry of Confucius Temple.

   It’s just that Zhu Di has not disembarked yet, but someone has discovered that the security at the ferry is much stricter.

  Zhu Di was in the boat and told Zhu Yong, "Go and ask what's going on."

  Zhu Yong went, came back after a while, and reported: "Your Majesty, I heard that a few days ago, there were remnants of the White Lotus Sect in Nanjing City. His Royal Highness...has issued an order to strengthen the investigation of various ferries and official roads."

  After hearing this, Zhu Di frowned deeply, and glanced at Zhang Anshi.

  Then calmly said: "White Lotus Sect has been wiped out, so where are the remnants of the White Lotus Sect now? They are still making such a big noise."

   Zhu Yong then stammered and said: "There are... and..."

  Seeing his hesitation, Zhu Di said impatiently: "Speak up if you have something to say."

  Zhu Yong said: "The minister heard some rumors on the pier, saying that His Majesty... Your Majesty... was caught by water thieves..."

  After hearing this, Zhu Di turned pale.

   Obviously, he already understood what Zhu Yong meant.

  Zhu Yong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, my minister... ten thousand deaths..."

  Zhu Di waved his hand indifferently: "This has nothing to do with you, go down."

  Zhu Yong escaped in a hurry as if he had been pardoned.

  Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "What do you think about this?"

Zhang Anshidao: "The water thief attacked His Majesty. Logically speaking...the news spread to the capital should also be the news after His Majesty arrived in Nanchang Mansion. After all, at that time, no one knew that His Majesty was in Jiujiang City except the Wu family and others. So The minister feels that this matter is very strange."

  Paused, he continued: "Your Majesty, is there a possibility, that is... Before the water thief took action, people like the Wu family were already determined to win, so they sent the news to the capital in advance?"

  Zhu Di said lightly: "I haven't died yet, so I sent it to the capital ahead of time..."

  Zhang Anshi said with a sneer: "Yeah...it's really strange."

  Zhu Di took a deep look at Zhang Anshi, and said, "Is it strange? Or are you pretending to be confused with me?"

  Zhang Anshi quickly restrained his smile, and said: "I...I dare not..."

  Zhu Di snorted coldly and said, "You are the commander of Jin Yiwei, don't you know the importance of this news?"

Zhang Anshi had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty naturally knows that if anyone can learn the news of His Majesty's death in advance, I'm afraid there will be a lot of work to be done here. Information has always been the most valuable thing in the world, especially such important news , As long as you can master it in advance, as long as you operate it a little bit, it will not be a problem to make a fortune."

  Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep thought: "In this way, then... whoever makes profit from it is Wu's accomplice?"

  Zhang Anshi said: "It's possible."

  Zhu Di sighed: "The Wu family is on the right side of the river, and there are many disciples and old officials. In the capital, there are many ministers on the right side of the river..."

  Zhang Anshidao: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the vast majority of ministers are actually loyal to His Majesty, and only a handful of bad ones, such black sheep..."

  Zhu Di suddenly became furious again, and said angrily: "They cheated me of my money and wanted to kill me, and now they want to cheat my son."

  Zhang Anshi: "..."

  Zhu Di said: "Speak."

  Zhang Anshidao: "Your Majesty, I am thinking, will this happen in all dynasties?"

  Zhu Di asked rhetorically, "Then what do you think?"

  Zhang An Shidao: "There should be, and there are quite a few, but... it may not be seen in the annals of history."

   "How can you see it?" Zhu Di continued to ask.

Zhang Anshidao: "Thieves of the country, such as... Wu, if they can succeed and the conspiracy is not discovered, then your majesty is just because of licentiousness, like many foolish kings in history, who like to waste people and waste money. A thief."

"At this time, thanks to the Wu family and Wu's disciples and old officials, when the country was in crisis, they helped the building to turn the tide, assisted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, succeeded the great rule, and extended our Ming dynasty. Zuo is indeed a model of a minister, admired by all ages."

  Zhu Di listened, smiled and said: "How can you see it?"

   "Because they are not equal." Zhang Anshi thought for a while, and said, "But I dare not say what will happen later."

  Zhu Di said: "Come on, what kind of ugly words have I never heard? Just don't make rumors in private."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged, and I have never..."

   Seeing Zhu Di's face stretched, Zhang Anshi immediately changed his words, saying: "The emperor is inherited by blood, good and bad, and lives in a deep palace. Although it seems to be in charge of the power of the world, in fact..."

"The ministers and officials come from all the states in the world. Those who can enter the court are all the top smart people in the world. An emperor who has inherited the foundation of his ancestors has to face hundreds of thousands of elites in the world. Any one person's wisdom is far higher than the crowd..."

  Zhu Di thought for a while, nodded, but said: "That's why the emperor technique is needed."

  Zhang An Shidao: "The emperor's art that His Majesty mentioned is divide and conquer?"

  Zhu Di said: "Exactly."

"This method, I think, when the world is peaceful, divide and rule is the best way. Let the ministers attack each other, so that they can't form a joint force. In the end, the emperor will be the judge." Zhang Anshi thought carefully, Then he said: "But Your Majesty... If you want to implement the New Deal, can your Majesty still divide and rule?"

  After hearing this, Zhu Di lowered his head in thought, as if touched.

   Ministers can fight for power and profit, but after all, if the emperor wants to do something, it will dig the foundation of the ministers. It is useless to rely on the so-called emperor's balance technique.

  The premise of balance is that the world is peaceful and the emperor has not violated their interests. In order to fight for power and profit, they will do everything possible to attack their opponents.

   But obviously, the situation of the New Deal will inevitably make the vast majority of ministers unite secretly, and then provoke the imperial power.

   Don’t look at some people who read the Four Books and Five Classics and look like nerds, but if you really treat them as nerds, then you are really stupid.

  People read the Four Books and Five Classics to preach benevolence, righteousness and morality to you, but they will be ruthless, but they can do anything.

  Thinking of this, Zhu Di sighed faintly.

  Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Fortunately, Your Majesty is not an ordinary emperor, if not..."

  Zhu Di was not in the mood to listen to this, so he waved his hands and said, "Go ashore, don't make a big fuss."

  He paused for a moment, then said again: "Take someone to Qixia immediately."

  Zhang Anshi was stunned for a moment, and then said puzzledly: "Your Majesty...what is this..."

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi gravely, with a sharp light in his eyes, and said, "Go ahead, take hold of the Jinyiwei and the Model Camp. Then immediately bring the captain and the Model Camp to the capital. I will enter the palace after the soldiers are promoted to the capital. "

  Zhang Anshi's eyes widened slightly, as if he understood the intention at once, and said: "I obey the order."

  Zhang Anshi still admires Zhu Di sometimes, because he can always grasp the key points.

  Under such circumstances, the so-called conspiracy, or the so-called conspiracy, is actually meaningless, as long as the Jinyiwei and the elite soldiers are captured.

   Regardless of your schemes and schemes, whoever dares to make mistakes will kill them.

   It's so direct, so straightforward!

  So Zhang Anshi left without further delay and rushed to Qixia immediately.

  South Town Fusi.

   At this time, Zhou Yan, the official, was sitting in the hall. He had not rested all night, and issued a series of warrants.

  The matter of this week is very clear. In Nanzhen Fusi, the brand of fellow acquaintance Chen Li is too deep, and it will not be a matter of overnight to completely remove Chen Li's influence.

  Let Chen Li go to Zhenjiang first, and then slowly find some excuses to evacuate some thousands and hundreds of households under the jurisdiction of Nanzhen Fusi.

  Besides, these reasons are easy to find.

  Of course, Zhou Yan was also waiting, waiting for someone to approach him.

  He is very handy with such tactics and tactics. He was like this when he was in Jinwuwei, and it is not a problem for him to be transferred to Jinyiwei later.

  He firmly believes that after a long time, someone in the Fusi of Nanzhen must realize that he is now the master of the house, and naturally someone will start to find ways to please him.

  And these people... can be cultivated in the future to replace those thousands and hundreds of households that have been eliminated.

  From then on, these people gradually became his henchmen, and as time passed, he could hold Nanzhen Fusi firmly in his hands.

  The most important thing now is to find a way to drive Chen Li to Zhenjiang as soon as possible.

  Early in the morning, Zhou Yan ordered Nanzhen Fusi to come down to see him, and Chen Li also came. Zhou Yan asked Chen Li to sit down first, and after being polite, he ascended his seat.

   What he did was actually sending a signal to the Fusi of Nanzhen that from today onwards, he, Zhou Yan, is the master of this place.

   It's just that it's obvious from up to down, that each one is showing resentment.

   But Chen Li still had a smile on his face.

   Zhou Yan first said some empty talk, nothing more than how the pro-military should be, and then talked about when he was in Beizhen Fusi, and then smiled and said: "Chen Tongzhi, how is the delivery now?"

  Chen Li seemed casual and said: "There are too many things at hand, and it will take a while. I'm afraid that the delivery will be inconvenient, and it may be delayed for several days."

   Zhou Yan frowned when he heard this, and said: "This is impossible. Over there in Zhenjiang, I heard that there are thieves making trouble. The matter is of great importance. Only people like Chen Tongzhi guarding it can make people feel at ease. Chen Tongzhi, the country should be the most important thing."

  Chen Li remained silent.

  A thousand households stood up and said, "Since the matter is urgent, I can go ahead and go to Zhenjiang to preside over the situation."

  Zhou Yan looked at Qianhu in disgust. He had no choice but to deal with such hob meat as Chen Li, but he didn't pay attention to a mere Qianhu.

  So he said lightly: "Who is you?"

   "Liu Zhou from a thousand households."

  Zhou Yandao: "I've heard about you. You are in charge of sorting the situation of the Fusi in Nanzhen. Let me ask you, why didn't you warn in advance when the White Lotus Sect taught bandits to make trouble?"

   Liu Zhou said: "Because there is no information about the White Lotus Sect bandits."

"Nonsense!" Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows in awe-inspiring manner, and said angrily: "If there is no such thing, why would there be bandits making trouble? Could it be that the bandits who were killed a few days ago were all fake? It really doesn't make sense, you are negligent of your duty , is already a capital offense, and I still don’t know what I did wrong today, it can be said that I will not change after I have been taught, come here, take this person down, and the family law will serve.”

  As soon as this remark came out.

   There was silence in the hall, just watching with wide-eyed eyes.

  But I couldn't see any school captain coming forward to get the thousand households.

   Zhou Yan was even angrier and wanted to shoot the case.

Chen Li smiled at this moment and said: "We can know from the matter of Zhou Yu that when Liu Zhou was with Duke Wei, Duke Wei trusted him the most? Every time he travels, he likes to take him with him, saying that he is the most Loyal and reliable, and the most careful in handling things."

  Zhou Yan naturally knew in his heart that Chen Li was trying to scare him off on purpose, but if he couldn't deal with Liu Zhou now and give these arrogant soldiers a blow, how would he be able to hold back?

Immediately, he sneered and said: "Today is different from the past. Back then, he obeyed Duke Wei, but people's hearts would change. This Liu Zhou took credit for being proud, which is even more sinful! Besides, Duke Wei passed away. Who doesn't feel sorry for me in the guard? But the dead are gone, but we, the surviving ones, still need to serve as servants and guard the palace, which is also the purpose of His Royal Highness ordering me to come here."

   said.

Zhou Yan raised his chin slightly, and said again: "I have ordered the Crown Prince to order the Fusi of Zhennan Township to rule out lawless people like Liu Dan! Someone... If you take it down, whoever dares to refuse will be the one who resists the imperial edict! "

  Chen Li still sat still, with a half-smile on his face, as if he was having fun.

  But Liu Zhou was extremely sad and indignant, but he had no choice but to hold Zhou Yan. This tall man couldn't help but burst into tears: "If Duke Wei is alive in the sky..."

   "The prince has an edict? Why haven't I heard of it?"

   While talking, someone walked into the lobby slowly.

   This voice was inexplicably familiar.

   There was surprise in everyone's eyes, and there was a sudden silence in the hall, each of them looked at the person who came in against the light.

  Zhou Yan also looked over subconsciously, but saw this person walking in with a smile.

  The man smiled and said: "I'm not dead yet, who is cursing me?"

  Zhou Yan: "..."

   Waiting for this person to enter the hall, his face became clearer and clearer.

  Suddenly, there was a commotion in the hall.

   Zhou Yan suddenly felt his scalp go numb, and his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.

  Chen Li had already stood up, his eyes lit up a little at this moment, and a genuinely happy smile appeared on his lips.

  He bowed unhurriedly and said to the visitor: "I have seen the governor."

   "Meet the governor..."

  Everyone bowed down in unison, as if they had made an appointment.

  Zhang Anshi kept his hands behind his back, ignored it, but went straight to Zhou Yan, looked straight at him, and stretched out his hand, "Where is the prince's edict?"

  Zhou Yan's body was like a sieve, trembling all over.

  He seemed to be bewildered, his body was no longer in control, and he hurriedly took out an imperial edict from his sleeve.

  Zhang An Shi snatched over and looked down. He knew every single word of this edict.

Then, Zhang Anshi tore the edict directly, divided it into two, and then kneaded it into a ball. Then he said: "You said this is the edict of His Royal Highness, why don't I know? Are you able to represent the prince, or I, Zhang Anshi, can better represent the prince?"
