My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 121 The Rise of the Emperor's Grandson

   Actually being cheated is nothing.

  As long as the truth is not exposed, of course everyone will continue to dance and have fun.

  The key to the problem is that this matter must be exposed.

   This guy Xie Jin...is different, he likes to form parties.

  Relying on the relationship between fellow countrymen and the same year, this Wenyuange University scholar has attracted a large number of 'upright' ministers.

   Then using the special relationship between oneself and the prince, in fact... is creating a so-called princeling.

  Zhang An lived his whole life, but after being beaten by the great wisdom of major companies, he woke up to the methods and routines of people like Xie Jin.

  What they are best at is to grab a certain future helm, and then use this person's name to form a clique. On the surface, it seems to be for you, but in fact...

  The prince is already the crown prince and the future emperor. Why do you need people like you to form cliques? The prince himself is the largest faction in the world in the future.

   But Xie Jin's thoughts are different.

  He needs to show his own value. If he can't show his own value, how can he play his role?

  So, he pulled people's heads, created momentum, and showed that his relationship with the prince was unusual.

  Many people of course like to climb into Xie Jin's relationship, get in the car ahead of time, and just wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne.

  Many princes in history, in fact, knew that as a prince, they should not form cliques, but in the end, they were all dragged into trouble by people like Xie Jin, but they ended up in a miserable end.

  So the key problem is not that the princes are stupid, but that there are always many smart people in the court who make trouble out of nothing, until things get out of control and they are eventually taken over by others.

  Zhu Di is actually quite a sober person, and perhaps because he found that the King of Han was not like a king, he finally chose to kill Xie Jin, and still kept Zhu Gaochi's position.

  But Zhang Anshi is still worried that Xie Jin will become more and more crazy.

   Zhang Anshi was silent for a moment, and then said to the princess Zhang: "Sister, I think people like Xie Jin and He Liuwen are uneasy and kind."

  Ms. Zhang listened, and gave Zhang Anshi a meaningful look: "Huh?"

Zhang Anshi frowned and said: "They are foreign ministers, why do they always come to look for brother-in-law? What's the matter, can't we go to the court to talk about it? And this He Liuwen, I heard from people outside that this man's heart is not upright, so brother-in-law should not talk to him He's a good deal."

  Zhang said: "I've heard people say that this man has a clean sleeve and is upright. Of course, the gossip outside is not to be believed, but when your brother-in-law was canonized as the prince by His Majesty, he made a lot of efforts..."

Zhang Anshi sneered and said: "Sister, you and brother-in-law are really confused. Brother-in-law is the eldest son, and he should be the crown prince. No matter how confused your majesty is, you know that this is Gangji. Once your majesty ignores these things, it will inevitably turn into chaos in the future, your majesty." Such a sober person may have doubts before being named the crown prince, but it is already a certainty that my brother-in-law will become the crown prince."

  Zhang Anshi continued: "Since brother-in-law deserves his name as the prince, what is the real meaning of Xie Jin's so-called good words in front of His Majesty at that time?"

"Xie Jin is a very smart person. It is impossible for him not to understand the mystery of this. That is to say, he has long been convinced that his brother-in-law must be the prince, but at that time, he always spoke well in front of His Majesty. Could it be... Is this really for brother-in-law?"

  Ms. Zhang didn't have much contact with foreign affairs, and she didn't want to, but Zhang Anshi's words made her frown.

  She is not a confused person, she is naturally clear that she is the princess and her husband is the prince, there are not many people in this world who can really be trusted, and her brother shares weal and woe with her, so I have to think deeply about his words.

  Zhang said: "Your brother-in-law is too generous. I will talk to him in a few days."

  Zhang Anshi said again, "There is also this He Liuwen, in my opinion, don't let him come."

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "Why are you in such a hurry. If you issue an order to evict guests today, your brother-in-law will not look good. Okay, okay, I know you are doing it for the sake of your brother-in-law, but you must have a degree in everything, your family Brother-in-law knows the severity."

  Zhang Anshi sighed: "If you don't listen to your brother, you will be at a disadvantage!"

   Mrs. Zhang chuckled: "Okay, okay, don't be angry with my Confucian. Come, let's see if the clothes Sister cut for you fit or not."

  Zhang Anshi still muttered: "Sooner or later, my brother-in-law will be burdened by this He Liuwen, this He Liuwen..."

   "Come here." Mrs. Zhang was sullen and scolded in a low voice.

   "Oh." Zhang Anshi had no choice but to say: "Here we come."

  After trying on some clothes, some of them didn't fit well, but Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed: "My An Shi is taller again, I'll change it again tomorrow."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Oh."

  At this time, he was too witty to talk too much, he greeted Mrs. Zhang, and ran out quickly.

  At this time, Zhu Zhanji outside was poking his head.

  Seeing Zhang Anshi running out, he staggered to catch up: "Uncle, Uncle..."

  Zhang Anshi stopped, dragged him to the side of the rockery, deliberately put on an angry look and said, "It's not that I said to ignore me these few days."

  Zhu Zhanji said: "I heard from them that that great sage turned out to be Uncle's mentor."

  Zhang Anshi snorted coldly and said, "So what, what does it have to do with you?"

  Zhu Zhanji said: "It's really strange, why the great sage didn't take a fancy to me, but uncle."

   Zhang Anshi did not continue to show his face deliberately at this time, but touched Zhu Zhanji's head affectionately: "This is because my uncle is upright and kind, and the most important thing is that my uncle has courage."

   "Courage?" Zhu Zhanji opened his eyes wide.

  Zhang Anshidao: "That's the kind of courage that I have to go on despite tens of thousands of people, do you understand?"

  Zhu Zhanji said: "Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go?"

  At this time, Zhang Anshi lowered his voice and said: "Have you ever beaten a traitor?"

  Zhu Zhanji shook his head immediately: "Mother and concubine said, you are not allowed to hit people."

  Zhang Anshi sighed: "This is the result of being raised in the hands of a deep palace woman."

   "Who is the deep palace woman?"

  Zhang Anshidao: "You still want to sue. Well, you can sue yourself, and see if sister believes you or me."

  Zhu Zhanji drooped his head with a little frustration.

Zhang Anshi touched Zhu Zhanji's head again, and said earnestly: "Uncle, you are the one who hurts the most in my heart. If you want to be successful, it is not impossible. I will teach you to do one thing and keep it. From then on, everyone in the world will treat you You look at it with admiration, but...do you dare to do it?"

  Zhu Zhanji said without thinking: "Don't dare."

Zhang Anshi grimaced: "Oh my God, why does our Zhang family have blood like yours! Not to mention that everyone in your Zhu family is a ruthless person, and every generation of our Zhang family has been loyal and unparalleled. How did you get here?" Here, is it like this? Zhan Ji, my dearest relative, you are confused."

  Children still can't bear the excitement, Zhu Zhanji said: "Okay, I dare to do it, and then?"

  Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "You have to do as I say, and you can't betray Uncle, you know? Uncle is timid and can't stand being frightened."

"Oh."

  ...

evening.

  Xie Jin and He Liuwen came to the East Palace together.

   Xie Jin comes here more frequently, of course, most of them are excuses for business.

  Over the past six months or so, His Majesty has gradually begun to hand over some political affairs to the prince, which gave Xie Jin more excuses.

   And Xie Jin's reputation is very good, plus Zhu Gaochi was able to become the prince, he made a lot of efforts, almost whenever he had the opportunity, he would speak well for Zhu Gaochi in front of Zhu Di.

  Zhu Gaochi has a generous temperament and often treats Xie Jin favorably.

  As for He Liuwen, he was also quite excited at this moment.

  He clings to Xie Jin's side, and this time he came back from Annan, and got huge benefits from Annan's power minister Hu, which can be described as both fame and fortune. Today, he entered the palace to meet with the emperor, and the emperor showed great praise for his entry into Annan.

   At this time, Xie Jin took him to meet the prince again. Once the prince favored him, coupled with His Majesty's praise for him, and his achievements in entering Annan, his future prospects must be limitless.

  Xie Jin said: "This time you entered Annan, it can be said that you have worked hard, and I am already helping you. I invite you to be the censor of the right deputy capital."

  He Liuwen thanked with great joy: "Thank you, Mr. Xie."

  Xie Jin said: "I want to say thank you, Your Highness the Prince."

   After finishing speaking, he glanced at He Liuwen with a meaningful look.

  He Liuwen was more pleased, but he also noticed something. At this time, the way he looked at Xie Jin was even more different, as if Xie Jin at this moment represented not only the Wenyuan Pavilion University scholar, but also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

   "Later, you don't need to say much in front of His Highness, I will speak well for you."

   "Yes, thank you." He Liuwen looked at Xie Jin gratefully.

  The two went to the East Palace. Zhu Gaochi met with the two and asked about Annan's situation.

He Liuwen then said: "This matter has been reported to Your Majesty. This Annan Hu family is the Grand Master of Annan Kingdom. He has always served the lord wholeheartedly. Everyone in Annan called him a good man. It is a pity that Annan Kingdom has no heirs. Now... even the clan The bloodlines were also cut off. When I went to Annan, I found that the whole country of Annan was governed by the Hu family in an orderly manner, and the Hu family has always been respectful to me, Daming..."

  He was rambling on, but in fact, An Nanguo was far away in the sky, and the information was not smooth. The impression of the Manchu monarchs and ministers about An Nanguo could only be heard from He Liuwen.

Zhu Gaochi nodded again and again: "Father also summoned the palace, and has already issued an order to grant the Hu family a golden seal and canonize him as the king of Annan. However, He Yushi went to Annan this time and went back and forth for a year. He was displaced along the way. Hard."

  He Liuwen said: "I am ashamed, but I just tried my best."

  Zhu Gaochi saw that it was getting late, so he said: "You can accompany me to have a meal here, so as not to go back at this time and be hungry."

  He Liuwen was ecstatic in his heart, and naturally knew that he had gained the trust of the prince.

  As long as this matter spreads, everyone will know that he has also become the prince's confidant.

  So he hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness loves you so much, I... I am ashamed of myself."

   Immediately, Zhu Gaochi had a meal with the two of them. In fact, the meal in the East Palace was very simple. Zhu Gaochi asked some things, and He Liuwen also answered fluently. Zhu Gaochi said to Xie Jin: "This man is honest and will become a great weapon."

  Xie Jin strikes while the iron is hot: "Your Highness, this time the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is vacant, and he has made great contributions this time. I hope to invite Your Majesty..."

  The latter words, Xie Jin did not continue.

  Zhu Gaochi pondered for a moment: "This requires the permission of the emperor, and I have no objection."

   In fact, what Zhu Gaochi was waiting for was that Zhu Gaochi had no objection, Xie Jin said with a smile: "Your Majesty also cherishes He Liuwen's talent, it seems that he is sure."

  He Liuwen said: "His Royal Highness is very kind and virtuous, and I will do the work of a dog and a horse."

  Zhu Gaochi is not very used to these words. In this process, he didn't contribute much, but the other party seemed to be able to get promoted because of his credit.

  But Zhu Gaochi was kind, but he didn't say much.

   After drinking some water and wine, He Liuwen got up to urinate.

  This is not so much the East Palace, but it is not the East Palace. It is just Zhan Shifu. There are several respectful houses nearby. He Liuwen can go there, and there is only one respectful house used by officials who come and go here on weekdays.

  He was a little drunk, but he was extremely excited. He knew that he might become an assistant officer of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in a short time, and his future was immeasurable.

  So he entered the Gong's room, which was stinky, after all, it was not used by real nobles, He Liuwen pinched his nose, and was about to untie his belt.

  But at this time...a bang...

  He Liuwen only felt that his mind was blank, his legs trembled, and he collapsed to the ground.

  Gunpowder smoke rose, and all kinds of strange things flew around. He was trembling, and he was about to faint.

   On the other side, somewhere in the dark.

  Zhang Anshi took the Huozhangzi, and then stuffed the Huozhangzi into Zhu Zhanji's hand.

  Zhu Zhanji: "..."

  Zhang Anshidao: "Remember what will happen later, when someone comes, you will cry, and... remember what I taught you."

  Zhu Zhanji held the fire folder, opened his eyes wide, and looked at his uncle: "..."

Zhang Anshi patted Zhu Zhanji's head: "My dearest and dearest Zhanji, Uncle still has something to do. Uncle still needs to go to Guangda Shengxue to benefit the common people. I will leave the matter here to you. Remember, ah! Uncle loves you."

  Zhu Zhanji: "..."

  He only noticed a blur in front of his eyes.

   Then with a whoosh, Zhang Anshi disappeared and disappeared into the darkness.

   Zhu Zhanji was still holding the fire folder, his little hands trembling slightly.

   Opened his mouth to say something, but found that Uncle's body was gone.

  He opened his eyes in confusion, as if he felt that his little head couldn't turn around.

  At this time, Zhan Shifu was in chaos from top to bottom.

   Soon, a group of eunuchs came hurriedly with lanterns.

  They saw He Liuwen fainted from fright in Gong's room, but no one was willing to drag him out.

   Later, someone discovered Zhu Zhanji again.

   Zhu Gaochi and Xie Jin also rushed over.

  Seeing this scene, his face changed drastically.

   "Hurry up, save people." Zhu Gaochi said.

  Finally, He Liuwen woke up slowly, and immediately after, he was disgusted by himself.

  He let out a wail.

   And at this time, crying sounded.

  Everyone looked in the direction of the crying, who was it not Zhu Zhanji?

  Zhu Zhanji cried very sadly, as if he was the one being bombed now.

  So much so that his tears fell down, and his small body was still twitching.

   An **** hurriedly stepped forward and hugged him.

   Someone also found the fire folder in his hand.

  Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said: "Don't cry, don't cry... The child must be scared. Why are you here at this time?"

  Zhu Zhanji stretched out his hand, pointed in the direction of He Liuwen and said: "He is a traitor, father, he is a traitor!"

  After Zhu Gaochi heard this, his face changed drastically again.

  The **** on the side hurriedly coaxed: "Your Highness, stop talking, stop talking."

  Zhu Gaochi probably understood what happened at this time, and his face was ugly.

   Xie Jin is even more like a mourning concubine, like a dead mother.

  Then He Liuwen looked at the child in disbelief. He was already in a panic, and now he was so frightened that he was about to pass out after hearing Zhu Zhanji's words.

   "Ah..." He Liuwen burst into tears and said, "Your Highness...why does Your Highness treat you like this?"

   Zhu Gaochi was speechless.

  He Liuwen said again: "Even if I have something to do to His Highness and Young Highness, how can I humiliate my servant so much, even...even..."

  Zhu Gaochi's body was shaking.

   Xie Jin didn't say anything, because you can't beat or scold the child in front of you, and you can't even reason with him.

  Zhu Zhanji continued to cry, crying more sadly than He Liuwen, still chattering: "He is a traitor, a traitor...Father..."

   This night, no one sleeps.

  A note was quickly stuffed into the palace through the crack of the Meridian Gate, and soon an **** sent the note to the Supervisor of Rituals.

  Today, Yi Shiha, who is on duty at the Supervisor of Ceremonies, did not dare to be negligent. Holding the note, he frantically headed towards Da Nei.

   "Your Majesty..."

  At this time, Zhu Di had already gone to bed.

  Hearing the movement, he turned over with a wheel.

  He is a very vigilant person, perhaps because of his habit of military career all the year round.

  Although he woke up suddenly, he was full of anger: "Who is it?"

  Yi Shiha tiptoed in: "Your servant has something to report."

   "What's the matter?" Zhu Di was slightly angry.

  Yi Shiha said: "There was an explosion in Zhan Shifu."

  Zhu Di was shocked when he heard it: "Where is my grandson... how is my grandson?"

   "Fortunately, it was only the firecracker that exploded... it just exploded the latrine."

  Zhu Di: "..."

   "It seems to be a firecracker ordered by His Royal Highness."

   "Is he injured?" Zhu Di was shocked again.

   "His Royal Highness was not injured, but was frightened."

  Zhu Di couldn't sit still any longer, and stood up with his shoes on.

  Empress Xu also heard the movement, she got up nervously and said with a frown, "He must be very scared."

   "Yes, I cried for a long time."

  Empress Xu frowned: "How could such a thing happen?"

  Yi Shiha then said: "Censor He Liuwen is injured."

   "Who is He Liuwen?" Zhu Di asked in surprise.

  Yi Shiha said: "Your Majesty forgot, you summoned him at noon yesterday, he just came back from Annan."

  After hearing this, Zhu Di remembered something, and then said: "At that time, what did he go to the East Palace for?"

   "Bachelor Xie Jinjie said that he wanted to report to His Royal Highness about Annan. Your Majesty, you forgot that His Royal Highness is now also involved in some matters related to the Ministry of Rites."

  Zhu Di nodded. He was really annoyed by the affairs of the various ministries. Now the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Rites, as well as the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment are almost all handled by the prince.

  And Zhu Di is only in charge of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War.

  Zhu Di said: "How could he be injured?"

   "Your Majesty, didn't you say it? It was His Royal Highness who was careless, and took advantage of He Liuwen's respect, and lit a firecracker."

   "His mother!" Zhu Di was furious.

  Empress Xu said: "Who is His Majesty scolding?"

  Zhu Di said straightforwardly: "Of course the one who scolded is the prince!"

  Empress Xu: "..."

Zhu Di was furious, and said viciously: "He is not young anymore, how could such a thing happen? This must be due to his improper discipline. He can't even take care of his own family. I still expect to hand over the country to him? Huangsun Xiaoxiao At this age, at the age of being ignorant, I have been frightened this time, if there is anything wrong with it, I will definitely take the crown prince."

  Empress Xu said: "Your Majesty calm down."

  Zhu Di sighed heavily and said, "Why didn't I have a good son."

After all, he continued angrily: "How many other doctors are there? I have recruited so many people who have read poetry and books to teach the emperor and grandson to read. What is the purpose of letting the emperor and grandson study? Is it just to recognize those few words? ? It is to let them teach the emperor and grandson what to do and what not to do."

   "Look at them and see what they look like. It's really unreasonable. Come and order, those people... all of them will be whipped thirty times, severely."

  Yi Shiha said: "The servant obeys the order."

  Zhu Di then said: "How about the aftermath?"

   "The grandson of the emperor has been coaxed to sleep by the princess, it seems that... he didn't get any fright after that."

  Zhu Di finally heaved a sigh of relief, and happily said: "It's also fortunate that nothing happened."

He felt a little happier: "This child dares to play this at such a young age, but he is very similar to me! Men, you can't be like a prince, you only know what you know, you have to have blood, dare to play this at a young age, and when you grow up, I will Take him across the desert, he can be a vanguard officer."

  Yi Shiha dryly laughed.

  Zhu Di looked at him and said, "Is there anything else?"

   "One more thing..." Yi Shiha was silent for a moment, and said: "After the emperor and grandson finished lighting the firecrackers, he pointed at He Liuwen and kept reading a sentence."

  Zhu Di raised his eyebrows: "What are you talking about?"

   "The emperor's grandson kept saying that He Liuwen was a traitor! After hearing this, He Liuwen was greatly insulted, and left in embarrassment immediately. The prince wanted to keep him, but he didn't respond."

  Zhu Di frowned even deeper, subconsciously said: "Fuck him..."

Having said that, Zhu Di paused for a moment, but then changed the subject, and said: "This is not good. He has worked hard and made great achievements. You can't insult him like this. In two days, I will call this He Liuwen into the palace. I will personally reward him, lest someone Said that our Tian family is mean and ungrateful."

But at this moment, a bit of anger appeared on Zhu Di's face again, and he said: "After all, it's still the prince's fault, and those damned doctors. Look, they took Professor Huangsun What has it become, hmph!"

Zhu Di walked back and forth in front of the dragon couch with his hands behind his back, and he couldn't help saying: "The crown prince should also teach me a lesson. If the emperor's grandson goes astray in the future, he must be a father. blame."

   Empress Xu was relieved when she heard that Zhu Zhanji was fine, but she also felt a little worried when she heard that Zhu Zhanji insulted the minister.

  Zhu Di said: "Okay, sleep, you step back."

  He glared at Yi Shiha.

  Yi Shiha listened, and hurriedly withdrew.

  But who would have known that the next moment, Zhu Di rushed out of the hall following Yi Shiha.

   I was also shocked.

  But I saw Zhu Di outside the hall, and he was trying his best to scan the roof of the bedroom by the moonlight.

   It seemed that he was still not at ease, so he picked up another small stone and threw it hard towards the top of the temple.

Snapped…

  The small stone made a crisp knocking sound on the glazed tiles on the roof of the hall, and then rolled down.

  Zhu Di then turned his gaze back from the direction of the top of the hall, shook his head, and muttered in his mouth: "Hum, fortunately this kid is not here. If he still dares to come, I will just beat him to vent his anger."

   After finishing speaking, he turned around and went back to the bedroom in a hurry.

  Empress Xu looked at Zhu Di who was walking back, and said, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

  Zhu Di said casually: "It's okay, sleep, sleep."

   Empress Xu glanced at Zhu Di meaningfully with her phoenix eyes, and then fell silent.

   Nothing to say all night.

  ………

   Zhenjiang is close to the capital and is the gateway of the capital.

  At this time, a young man with the appearance of a embarrassed scholar appeared on the street. His hair was disheveled and his clothes were dirty, like a beggar.

   It's just that although he is dressed in rags, if you look carefully, the material of the clothes looks like satin.

  He appeared on the street with a limp, and soon attracted the attention of several gentlemen.

   These gentlemen followed all the way.

  But I saw him keep asking people for directions, heading towards the pier.

  These officials were in shock, because the identity of the other party was really unpredictable.

If we say that he is an ordinary refugee, although his clothes are tattered, he looks luxurious. In addition, when he speaks, he speaks a very pure official language. People who can speak this kind of official language are obviously by no means ordinary people. Some ordinary scholars would not have such a pure accent.

  The officials can be said to be well-informed. The reason why they didn't approach easily was because they knew that the other party might not be an ordinary person, and they didn't want to cause trouble for themselves.

The man came to the pier immediately, boarded a boat with a black flag, and was instructed to buy a ticket. He seemed to have no money, so he found a jade pendant from his body and wanted to mortgage it there. Ticketing.

  The ticket seller saw that the jade pendant was not simple, so he bought a ticket for him with his own money, and took the jade himself.

  So, holding the ticket, the man boarded the boat.

  After the gentlemen looked at each other, one of them said in a low voice: "I'm leaving, it seems that I'm going to the capital."

  Another person said: "If you go to other places, we brothers can ignore it, but just go to the capital, let's ask."

  At that moment, the two gentlemen rushed up, stopped the man, and shouted coldly: "Who are you?"

  The man looked startled, and immediately said: "Don't take me, don't take me, I'm going to see Emperor Daming, I'm Chen Tianping, Prince Annan, and I'm going to sue the Imperial Court!"

  As soon as this remark came out, the two gentlemen looked at each other, shock flashed in their eyes.

   This man named Chen Tianping said again in the purest official language: "In the country of Annan... someone conspired to usurp the throne and kill my Annan clan. The emperor of Ming was deceived by treacherous officials!"

  ...

   Regarding the accent of the Annan nobles, you can watch the video of the last Vietnamese nobles in the late Qing Dynasty. Their accents are purer than 99% of the common people in the late Qing Dynasty.

  Another book is recommended: "Taoist Fighting the Sword at Night", written by a friend, you can read the book.
