MTL - My Brother-in-law is the Prince-Chapter 399 murderous
Chapter 399 Murderous
Outside the Daming Gate, blood spread everywhere.
But at this moment, the place is terribly quiet.
Zhu Di didn't say a word, so no one dared to make a sound at this time.
Zhu Di's boots were wiped clean, and there were no bloodstains.
He paced, passing in front of ministers one by one.
Wherever he passed, everyone trembled.
After a long time, Zhu Di said: "Is it just Jiang Chen, the left servant of the Ministry of War? It's not just the so-called great Confucian Wu family on the right side of the river?"
He suddenly shouted loudly.
Among the ministers, seeing Jiang Chen being punished directly, he was terrified, but now that Jiangyou Wu's family is mentioned, some people's livers and gallbladders are broken.
"How dare these mere people have such guts? Heh... you are a scholar, you must be careful in your actions, how can you not leave yourself a way out? You want to seek to seize the country, and want to teach me how to change the color of the Ming Dynasty. How many people are there?”
These words, every word, is like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of everyone.
Zhang Anshi stood aside, looking around, trying to detect the strangeness of the ministers.
Yes, Your Majesty is right. These people will definitely leave a way out for themselves in their actions. If they dare to kill the king, it is not just at the level of Jiangxi chief envoy.
After all, if His Majesty dies, then the new monarch is the crown prince, but he is also His Majesty's son and Zhang Anshi's brother-in-law. If they want to ensure that the new monarch does not investigate thoroughly, then they must be in the court, and there must be a large number of people who can give the new monarch Apply enough influence and pressure to make Xinjun make a wrong judgment.
Zhu Di continued with a sneer: "Have you read the sage's book into the dog's stomach? Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, but you are the most conscientious."
I don't know who said this to, but all the officials were panicked.
Yang Rong and others kowtowed and said, "I am guilty of ten thousand deaths."
"Thousands of deaths." Everyone said loudly.
Zhu Di disdained Gu, his eyes were cold, but his smile was even colder, and he said: "Of course I will die, the Wu family has been exterminated, Xu Qi and his party will all be killed, not one will be left behind, and this Jiang Chen...
Speaking of this, Zhu Di paused, and said abruptly, "Where is Zhang Qing?"
Zhang Anshi, who was named, hurriedly said: "The minister is here."
"Take his family and kill them together."
Zhang Anshi said: "Follow the order."
Zhu Di continued: "Of course I know that their accomplices are still here, but now, do you still want to hide it? You dare to kill me, do you think you can escape?"
Hundreds of officials knelt down and knelt down, not daring to say a word at this time, they just felt cold.
An unprecedented coldness made them feel cold all over.
Zhu Di then walked towards Zhu Gaochi, looked at his son, the coldness in his eyes eased a bit, and said: "These days, you are frightened."
Zhu Gaochi tremblingly said: "My son... my son..."
Zhu Di patted him on the shoulder, seeing Zhu Gaochi's lips pursed and he stuttered.
Now he said gently: "Look carefully, these gentlemen who are gentle and kind in front of you are often not so simple! Don't think that they are pedantic or honest. He is a gentle, respectful and honest man."
When Zhu Di said this, Yang Rong, who was kneeling on the ground, glanced sideways at Hu Guang who was beside him.
Hu Guangda was taken aback, and opened his mouth to curse, but quickly swallowed the words back.
Zhu Di obviously didn't notice this, so he said to Zhu Gaochi as usual: "So, you must be warned! You are the crown prince, and some people will try to figure out your temperament and love you. Those villains are not scary, they just know that you love beauties But what is really scary is that seemingly loyal person. He knows that you want to be a good emperor, so he looks like he loves the people like a son, and acts like a modest gentleman in front of you. The national economy and the people's livelihood, and the suffering of the people. Isn't this a kind of flattery? To know people, don't look at what they say, and don't listen to their boasting. This kind of nonsense is actually selfish, and there have been few people since ancient times. ?"
After Zhu Gaochi heard this, his face seemed to be touched, and he hurriedly said: "The teachings of the father, the sons and ministers will always remember them in their hearts."
Zhu Di's originally livid face also eased at this time, but he turned his eyes to the minister who was kneeling together, and said in a still cold voice: "As for these rebellious officials and thieves, none of them want to run away. Internally and externally, strengthen your guard. Ministers of the fifth rank and above in the court and their family members are not allowed to enter or leave the capital easily! Zhang Qing, the model battalion is temporarily stationed at various city gates."
Zhang Anshi said: "Follow the order."
Zhu Di immediately got back on his horse and muttered: "It's really cheap, Jiang Chen, the thief, who accidentally beat him to death. If not, he must be skinned."
He looked annoyed.
Just these words make people shudder even more.
The officials were still silent, and each of them lowered their heads as low as possible.
Zhu Di never looked at them again, and immediately rode into the Forbidden City.
Looking at Zhu Di's back, Zhu Gaochi heaved a long sigh of relief. He was overjoyed to see Zhang Anshi still bouncing around, and deliberately stopped for a moment, waiting for Zhang Anshi to follow him before he walked slowly with Zhang Anshi.
"What happened?" Zhu Gaochi lowered his voice and said, "Your elder sister is going to die in a hurry, she is not well..."
Although these words were reprimands, Zhang Anshi felt warm in his heart when he heard them.
Zhang Anshi said in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, it's a long story. In short, someone wanted to murder His Majesty. Fortunately, I did my best and did my best. If not, I'm afraid that something big will happen. Of course, Your Majesty... also contributed a lot..."
Zhu Gaochi listened to the whole story, but still didn't understand what happened. He only heard Zhang Anshi talking vividly about **** the thief with his hands, and how to arrange it.
Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but said, "I'm so lucky to have you."
Zhang Anshi secretly glanced at Zhu Di, who was riding a horse in front of him, and said in a low voice: "You can't say that. Although your majesty is old, his credit is not small. Brother-in-law, as children, we can't take all the credit On myself, if my brother-in-law is not my closest relative, I would never tell the truth, to the outside world... I would say that His Majesty planned the strategy and won the victory..."
Zhu Gaochi nodded approvingly and said: "You are doing the right thing. It seems that you have really grown up and are more stable than before."
Zhang An Shidao: "With His Majesty and brother-in-law teaching by example, can you not be prudent?"
Zhu Gaochi pondered, thinking of the bad situation in the past two days, he sighed and said: "My father is a man of gold, I really shouldn't visit here and there in private, and teach this rebellious minister and thieves to take advantage of it. Just now what my father said, could it be that this Are there any remaining parties in the DPRK?"
Mentioning this, Zhang Anshi's complexion became a bit dignified, and he nodded silently.
Zhu Gaochi said: "Investigate thoroughly! This matter must be investigated by you, and you must not leave it to others."
Zhang Anshi nodded: "Understood."
Zhu Gaochi's warning also had his own thoughts. The emperor was assassinated. In terms of stakes, the ultimate beneficiary was actually the prince.
This is a problem of the past dynasties. Zhu Gaochi is not too young. He has been the prince for more than ten years. It is inevitable that some people will speculate that the prince is not willing to be a Qianlong.
So for Zhu Gaochi, the best way to clear up his grievances is to find out all the remnants, and it is best for his close relative Zhang Anshi to investigate the matter.
Now there are so many rumors and gossips about the palace, especially about His Majesty's failure to seize the throne in the early years, becoming angry from embarrassment, returning to the Beiping Palace and preparing for rebellion, and then running naked and eating dung. .
Zhu Gaochi knew that if things went on like this, more rumors would inevitably come out.
The two talked quietly all the way, and when they arrived at Wenlou, they walked in one after the other.
Zhu Di has gone to Da Nei first to visit Empress Xu.
Yishiha poured tea for the crown prince and Zhang Anshi. Yishiha looked a lot older. This time he went to Jiangyou. After the news of the accident, Yishiha seemed to have lost his backbone.
This is an indescribable feeling. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Yi Shiha's psychological symptoms are degrading.
But for Yishiha, he has been appointed to follow Zhu Di since he can remember, and has been serving him in his daily life since Zhu Di was still King Yan. For Yishiha, Zhu Di is everything to him, let alone him today. Everything he owns is also given to him by Zhu Di. He may not have read many books and learned a lot of knowledge, but he only knows that his life is tied to Zhu Di.
Now Yishiha is smiling.
Zhang Anshi spoke vividly in front of Yi Shiha, how brave his Majesty was when he was in Jiujiang Mansion.
Yi Shiha was in a good mood and was willing to listen, so he tsk-tsk-tsk in admiration to cheer up the spitting Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshidao: "For such a big water thief, His Majesty punched him. Before the fist came, the thief would bleed from all seven orifices."
Zhu Gaochi was beside him, drinking tea with a smile and listening quietly, looking into Zhang Anshi's eyes with a bit of relief, An Shi has really grown up, so he doesn't need to worry people.
Yi Shiha still listened attentively.
On the other hand, the little **** who was serving tea saw that His Royal Highness, Duke Wei and the Grand Duke were all happy, so he might as well say coldly, "Isn't it because the fists haven't arrived yet, why are the seven orifices bleeding?"
Yi Shiha suddenly gave the **** a fierce look.
The **** was so frightened that he wanted to plead guilty.
Zhang Anshi said: "Haha... You don't know this. When the strength reaches a certain level, there will be dark energy. Have you ever heard of fighting cattle across mountains? Do you know how to transform a horse from fighting spirit?"
Eunuch: "..."
Yi Shiha smiled and said: "Dudu Zhang, he is ignorant and has no knowledge, you continue to talk."
At this time, a voice said: "What?"
It was Zhu Di who came back from Ouchi and was pacing in slowly.
Everyone was busy saluting, and Yi Shi laughed and said: "Your Majesty, Dudu Zhang is talking about your majesty's killing thieves in Jiangxi."
Zhu Di said grandly: "What is there to boast about, just a mere thief?"
Zhang Anshi then said: "Yes, I will die."
Zhu Di waved his hand: "Stop doing this."
Zhu Di sat down, and then said: "I just punished Jiang Chen just now, just to scare the snake."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Anshi's heart was slightly shocked: "Your Majesty means..."
Zhu Di said: "These people...since they dared to do such a thing, now that the incident is out, and so many of their comrades have been killed, they will inevitably feel panic. I just want to shake the mountain and shake the tiger. Jin Yiwei, just take advantage of this Monitor the officials, and see...their words and deeds!"
Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di with admiration and said: "It turns out that Your Majesty has already planned this. Don't worry, Your Majesty. On the side of the minister, while monitoring, follow the clues of Jiang Chen and others, and continue to follow the vine. gone."
Zhu Di nodded, and then said: "The one I worry about is Qixia."
After he finished speaking, he sighed faintly.
At the beginning, he insisted on going to Jiangxi because he was thinking about his two and a half million taels of silver.
But now, Zhu Di just realized that he has lost even more.
Because of these damned rebellious ministers and thieves, the market was turbulent, and the market price of the entire Taiping Mansion plummeted. The previous momentum of aggressive expansion has been broken.
I'm afraid... the capital chain of many merchants will be broken in the next step, and even the bank will be affected, and the business of the entire business will plummet.
If this is the case, if it goes on like this, the loss will be more than two and a half million taels. I am afraid that twenty-five million taels will not be enough to fill this hole.
Zhang Anshi listened, but he also knew that this time could be regarded as a man-made economic crisis.
The previous prosperity made almost everyone have the illusion that if they had to open a workshop, they would definitely be able to earn money.
Nowadays, this huge crisis is shrouded like a dark cloud, and it is not easy to break the fear in people's hearts.
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "Look, Yiqing, can things be salvaged?"
Zhang Anshi frowned and thought for a while: "If you want to do everything possible to keep the business and turn it into a profit, I am quite sure. I think back then, I had foreseen the possibility, so I have been very careful this year. But if It takes more effort to maintain the overall situation of the entire Taiping Mansion."
"It's just your Majesty, the reason why the commercial firm is able to thrive is precisely because of the prosperity of the Taiping Mansion. If the prosperity of the Taiping Mansion is lost, even if the commercial firm can still make profits, it is actually just a rootless duckweed."
Zhu Di frowned and said: "Then think of a way, no matter what method you use, you must keep my property... and let the soldiers and civilians in Taiping Mansion live and work in peace and contentment."
Zhang Anshi pondered for a moment and said: "I have a solution, but it will take some time to prepare."
Zhu Di's eyes lit up a little, and he hurriedly said, "How many days?"
"Half a month." Zhang Anshi thought for a while.
Zhu Di immediately said: "It's half a month, this is a big deal! If there are rebellious officials and thieves, just kill them all, but if something happens to the Taiping Mansion, not to mention the loss of internal money, the soldiers and civilians will The common people have all lost their livelihoods, are you going to teach these hundreds of thousands of people to become refugees?"
Seeing Zhu Di's excited look, Zhang Anshi had no choice but to say: "I... will definitely do my best."
Zhu Gaochi sat on the side, but said: "Father, I have heard something in the capital."
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi and said, "But it's okay to say."
Zhu Gaochi said: "After the news of Jiangxi came out, there were internal and external troubles in the Taiping Mansion. It seems that many people are secretly spreading rumors and making troubles, trying their best to teach the Taiping Mansion..."
His words did not continue.
The meaning is nothing more than that this is not just a problem with the railway, but also the result of someone pushing the flames.
Zhu Gaochi's implication is that this matter is really difficult to handle. If Zhang Anshi fails, he cannot be blamed.
Zhang Anshi also suddenly understood the prince's intentions, and only looked at his brother-in-law with a smile.
Zhu Di said, "Why does the prince care about the Taiping Mansion?"
Zhu Gaochi said: "Most of the officials under Zhan Shi's mansion, my ministers, are delegated to the prefectural capitals under the right governor's mansion to work on duty, especially Yang Pu, a scholar of Zhan Shi's mansion, who is also an acquaintance of Taiping Mansion. Specializes in the affairs of the railway department, so... they will report to the ministers about the movements of the Dudufu's government."
After hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help nodding his head in relief and said, "This is what the prince should do."
But immediately, Zhu Di frowned again, and said with a cold smile: "This matter is of great importance. It is related to the prosperity and failure of the society. It should not be underestimated. Zhang Qing will try his best to do it, and I will give you full power! No matter what is used, and what needs to be restrained, even if it is the imperial court The six parts, as long as Zhang Qing needs them, let them do their best to listen to the tune."
Zhang Anshi said: "Follow the order."
Zhu Gaochi secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhu Di was already showing signs of exhaustion, obviously exhausted all the way. At his age, it is very rare for him to persevere until now.
Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Anshi resigned tactfully.
The two walked to the Meridian Gate in one breath.
Zhu Gaochi was out of breath, and every time he walked in and out of the palace, it was a torture for him.
There were already cars waiting outside, so Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "Go to the East Palace first, and meet your sister."
Zhang Anshi couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and said: "I thought about it, I'd better go back and see my wife and children first, they must be very worried about me. I will trouble my brother-in-law to report my sister and I are safe."
Zhu Gaochi glared at him and said: "When the bad news came, your sister had already taken them to the East Palace, so I was afraid they would be too sad."
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Zhang Anshi asked tentatively: "Brother-in-law, sister, are you not angry?"
Seeing his cowardly look, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't worry, she is too late to be happy when she sees you, so why is she still angry?"
Zhang Anshi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling confident all of a sudden, and immediately said: "I am not a brother, I always make sister worry, so I will go to see her."
Zhang Anshi went to the East Palace excitedly.
Zhu Gaochi was relieved all the way, and led Zhang Anshi to the bedroom.
Today's East Palace is extremely cold.
Zhang Anshi followed Zhu Gaochi into the palace.
Who knew that as soon as he entered, he saw that the atmosphere in the palace was extremely cold, and the eunuchs on the left and right did not dare to vent their anger.
But the princess Zhang seems to have learned the news from the **** long ago, knowing that Zhang Anshi is coming.
As soon as Zhang Anshi entered the palace, he pointed to an eunuch, but saw that the **** was holding a spiritual tablet.
Mrs. Zhang shouted loudly: "Kneel down."
Zhang Anshi: "..."
Zhang Anshi quickly raised his eyes to look for Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaochi had already stood aside very docilely, and then looked at Zhang Anshi silently, as if he had nothing to do with himself.
Zhang Anshi: "..."
