My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 474 Crazy Zhu Zhanji

  Children are always easy to forgive.

   After all, Zhang Changsheng is still a child.

  In Zhu Di's view, the reason why this child looks so crooked is purely because he has not received a good education.

  So, the next day...

  Zhu Di got up early in the morning to read the memorials.

  Zhang Changsheng didn't dare to come out and knelt in the corner, reading a copy of "Spring and Autumn".

  Zhu Di watched for a moment, and finally heaved a long sigh.

   This seemed to give Zhang Changsheng a chance to breathe, so he carefully raised his head: "Your Majesty... What are you sighing for?"

  Zhu Di said: "You are a little doll, do you know a bird?"

  Zhang Changsheng said: "I know birds, my father taught me since I was a child..."

  Zhu Di: "..."

   Zhang Changsheng shut up immediately when he saw Zhu Di's face turned strange.

  Zhu Di said: "I really envy you. You are still a child, carefree. I am different, but when I was your age, I was like you, with a childlike heart."

   "What about now?" Although Zhang Changsheng was a little afraid of Zhu Di, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Di curiously.

Zhu Di smiled wryly and shook his head, and said: "It's different now. The child has become a man. Even if there is suffering, you can't tell it, you can't shed tears, and you have to keep it in your heart. Because everyone around you is watching You, your wife and children depend on you."

  Zhang Changsheng nodded with a half understanding: "I understand that His Majesty is suffering, but why is it suffering? Could it be..."

  Zhu Di probably felt that what Zhang Changsheng said next might not be good things that pleased him, so he immediately waved his hands and said, "Okay, shut up and read!"

  Zhang Changsheng shivered, and then he lowered his head to read the book absent-mindedly again.

  Yi Shiha beside him was speechless.

  He was convinced by the little guy Zhang Changsheng, saying that he was like his father Zhang Anshi, but Zhang Anshi's clever mouth seemed to be smeared with honey. Say he doesn't look like it, there are always a few shocking words coming out of his mouth, which makes people panic.

  Yi Shiha knew that His Majesty was worried about the crown prince and the emperor's grandson, so he didn't dare to express his anger, but he couldn't help thinking in his heart that the prince and the emperor's grandson didn't know when there would be news.

  But at this time, Zhu Di suddenly threw a memorial in hand on the ground, and said: "Zheng He's fleet, I heard that it has arrived at the old port, it seems... It is about to return."

   This is Zheng He's fourth voyage to the West.

   This voyage to the West has made a plan to sail farther, but once it goes to sea, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and the situation on the sea is really unpredictable, so what Zheng He will bring this time is unpredictable.

  Zhu Di said again: "Forget it, I don't have the heart to read the memorials. Longevity, come with me, and I will teach you how to ride a horse."

  After Zhang Changsheng heard this, he immediately cheered up. Compared with kneeling here and reading a book, he felt that Zhu Di, who was willing to take him to ride a horse, became less scary.

  Throwing away this spring and autumn, excitedly followed Zhu Di out of the palace.

  Zhu Di taught someone to fetch his BMW, then carried Zhang Changsheng onto the horse first, and then turned himself over and sat behind Zhang Changsheng. First, he taught the horse to walk slowly, while explaining some essentials.

  Zhang Changsheng was very excited, but couldn't help complaining: "My father won't teach me how to ride a horse."

  Zhu Di smiled slightly: "He is busy with official duties, so naturally he has no leisure time."

  Zhang Changsheng said: "I know this, if my father is lazy, His Majesty will kill his head."

  Zhu Di said: "Not necessarily, how can I be so scary? Your father can't spit out... Your father loves to talk nonsense, you can't believe it."

Zhang Changsheng nodded, with a smile on his face, holding the horse's mane, very happy, feeling that His Majesty behind him has become much closer, curled up carefully in Zhu Di's arms, and said: "Your Majesty said What's more, my father is confused. His Majesty is amiable, but he always says that His Majesty is strict."

  After hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but smile: "I'm strict, but there's nothing I can do about it."

  Zhang Changsheng raised his face, looked back at Zhu Di's chin, and said, "Why?"

  Zhu Di thought for a while, at this time he was really in a bad mood, worried about something, but said: "Because I am the Son of Heaven, I have many ministers, but I should not be too close to my ministers, otherwise, I will lose my prestige."

  Zhang Changsheng nodded with a half understanding.

  Zhu Di said: "As for my sons... I have always educated my sons, and I inevitably need to be stricter, just to prevent them from developing a surly temper."

  Zhang Changsheng said: "I understand. Be strict with your son and be close to your grandson."

  Zhu Di shook his head, smiled wryly and said, "That won't work either."

   "And why?" Zhang Changsheng asked in surprise.

   Zhu Di said: "Just talk about my grandsons, the eldest grandson Zhu Zhanji, you know your cousin."

  Zhang Changsheng pouted and said, "He always deceives me..."

Zhu Di said: "He is the eldest grandson, and he is responsible for the community. Although I love him, he needs to stop in moderation. As for the other grandchildren... hey... they are all in my blood, so why should I not be close? It's just... the more so , the more you can't be too close, they are the nobles of the sky, I am worried...they will have unreasonable thoughts, only by appearing alienated can they be able to live in peace and keep their own responsibilities."

  Zhang Changsheng understood something, and said: "The more you like it, the more you have to show a ruthless appearance."

  Zhu Di touched his head and said, "What a smart boy."

At this time, Zhang Changsheng showed some confusion, and said: "But Your Majesty is close to me, and I am also the prince's son. I will inherit the title in the future, and I will be the ancestral temple of the Zhang family. This will also teach me to be surly. From then on, my father's family business will be ruined."

Zhu Di felt that Zhang Changsheng was looking for faults, and his unhappy mood seemed to get worse all of a sudden, so he couldn't help cursing: "Don't be so long-winded, you talk like this, I'm not teaching you by telling you these things. Here's an analogy, riding a horse..."

  Hoo...

  Zhu Di clipped the horse's belly, and the horse under his seat shot out like an arrow. Except for the whistling wind, the world was clean.

  ...

  Changan County.

  The situation in Guanzhong is worse than that in Henan. Because it is farther away from the capital, the relief is worse than that in Henan.

  In addition to the many thieves in Guanzhong, many thieves and rebels suddenly gathered in one place overnight and directly attacked the grain road between Guanzhong and the capital.

  All prefectures and counties are in a hurry.

  In the camp where Zhu Zhanji, who led people to explore the terrain and prepare for the railway project, immediately had some people's hearts fluttering.

   After all, many of the railway bureaucrats who came with them were only in charge of the railway situation on weekdays, and they had never encountered such a dangerous situation.

   Fortunately, there are two or three hundred model battalion captains accompanying them for protection.

  As the deputy envoy of the Railway Department, Zhu Zhanji quickly became the focus of everyone.

  The terrain in Guanzhong is flat, surrounded by mountains and mountains, gentry and bandits gather together, they have a large number of horses, come and go like the wind, and grow rapidly.

   Zhu Zhanji is here, Jin Yiwei has come to warn.

   At this time, many people come in and out here.

   Obviously the situation has reached a very urgent point.

   This is the grandson of the emperor, and there is absolutely no chance of any mistakes.

  The only consolation is that no matter where the person came from, it is a hundred household officials of Jinyiwei, or a civil servant transferred here, or a team officer of the model camp, or even the treasurer of Qixia Bank or a commercial firm.

   They met Zhu Zhanji, and Zhu Zhanji could always call their names easily.

   Then, everyone's heart suddenly became hot, and then they began to speak from the bottom of their hearts.

  Zhu Zhanji's experience in Taiping Mansion is very effective.

  He has been in charge of investment promotion and is very close to many shopkeepers.

   He was also responsible for the work of the captain who managed public security, so he had contact with many people in Jinyiwei and the model camp.

  He was also in charge of water conservancy, and got along with many civil servants.

   He even assisted many merchants in their loan matters, and many procedures and approvals went through his hands.

   It can be said that in this Taiping Mansion, anyone with a little name is his acquaintance.

   Even if there are unfamiliar people, that's okay. Where do you work? In the third battalion of the model camp? Do you know Zhou Li, the battalion officer of the 3rd Infantry Battalion of the Model Battalion? ah? Is it your brother? Ben Gong knew him very well.

   This is not a formality, because Zhu Zhanji really knows him very well.

  Even... for a period of time, he was briefly in charge of the teaching work, dealing with government schools, mathematics schools and other well-known universities.

  Therefore, even if it is a fledgling official, he is fine, he can drag you around for a long time, asking you which school you graduated from and who you studied under.

  As for the job he is now in charge of the railway department, it seems that the railway department has more professionalism and can be used as the deputy envoy of the railway department. In fact...his job content is more comprehensive.

  After all, the railway is the main artery of Zhili. When the prefectures and counties in Zhili are building railways, or setting up stations, or when there are any disputes between the railway and the local area, people will often negotiate with the railway department.

   As for the major commercial firms, of course they also have to negotiate with the Railway Department.

  In addition, Jinyiwei often needs to set up checkpoints at various stations or trunk lines, or pursue them, and also needs the assistance of the Railway Department.

  Even some drills in the model camp require cooperation with the Railway Department.

  So soon, a large number of people from all directions and responsible for different responsibilities gathered in the suburbs of Chang'an County. Everyone was anxious, but they quickly got along with Zhu Zhanji.

The situation is indeed very bad, the situation of bandits everywhere is very crazy, there have always been horse bandits in Guanzhong, and now they hang out with many gentry people, these gentry people have a lot of cattle and horses, now these people gather in one place, They communicated with each other and worked together, not only ambushing grain roads everywhere, but also attacking many camps.

   There are quite a few camps, which can be supported, but some of them suffered heavy losses due to negligence.

The most frightening thing is not only this, but also... the officials in various prefectures and counties seem to be untrustworthy, and they are suspected of secretly collaborating with horse bandits. You must know that these officials originally turned a blind eye to the gentry's hoarding of goods With one eye, there is such a big problem now, and I know that the court may settle accounts later in the fall.

   Many gentry went to the capital to sue, but it may not have any effect.

  The only hope for survival at the moment is that these horse bandits are more aggressive. After chilling the hearts of the gentry in Guanzhong, the situation is in chaos, so that the court has to worry about the overall situation and finally chooses to compromise.

  It can be said that there are powerful enemies outside and troubles inside. This situation of internal and external troubles may make the situation worse at any time.

   "Your Highness, the most urgent task at the moment is the lowly people. Immediately **** Your Highness out of the customs. Your Highness will go back to the capital first..."

  Zhu Zhanji said: "Go back to the bird, if I go back to the capital, the situation in this pass will completely collapse."

   "Your Highness is a man of gold!" On the other side, an official chimed in: "There are no students in the world, but His Highness is indispensable, not to mention...His Royal Highness Wuhu County King..."

Zhu Zhanji pondered, and said after a while: "The general is away, and the king's life is not accepted. Now in this pass, we are the only ones struggling. I think about it. Even if we return now, there may not be no danger along the way. Right now The most urgent task is to put down the bandits immediately, otherwise the bandits will be rampant for a day, Guanzhong will be devastated for a day, Guanzhong has already experienced natural disasters and man-made disasters, and it can no longer be exhausted."

  Speaking, Zhu Zhanji stood up, and then said: "After thinking about it, there may be no way to break the thief in the current situation."

   "But I don't know what His Highness means..."

  Zhu Zhanji said: "Uncle told me that dogs bite people when they are in a hurry. Now they are driving me into a hurry, so they can't sit still!"

  Everyone was speechless for a moment, and the majestic grandson compared himself to a dog. This...

  But Zhu Zhanji didn’t take it seriously. He had dealt with people a lot in Taiping Mansion. In fact, the vast majority of people, without so many words, were workers and people who lived. At this time, he had already understood deeply.

  Why does his grandpa, who received royal education, marry his mother every day?

  Because you really want to deal with Qiu Bahe and the decent people, if you don’t say a few words like this, you may not be able to communicate well.

  As for those polite, open-mouthed Zhihu, but also closed-mouthed words, they are just fig leafs used to paste the wall.

Zhu Zhanji said: "The horse bandits are very powerful, but what is terrible about them is that they come and go like the wind, attacking everywhere, teaching the camps in various prefectures and counties, and it is impossible to defend against them. But in my opinion...in fact, although there are many of them, they are all The men and horses gathered for a while, each with their own ghosts and different ideas, are nothing more than a mob. If a hundred of them gather together, their combat power will be quite strong, and if a thousand of them gather together, their strength will be greatly reduced. When people are together, they are just a group of defeated dogs who can only bark their teeth."

"The most important thing is that they have not yet formed a powerful ruler who can unite them, so... this is a good time for us, we have to find a way to gather them together, and then break them. "

  Everyone listened carefully to Zhu Zhanji's words. Everyone is a person with rich experience. At this time, they slowly calmed down and couldn't help but fall into thinking.

Zhu Zhanji said: "But we are different. The more people we have, the stronger our combat power is. Now in Chang'an County, we have three or four hundred captains of the model battalion, more than 70 captains of Jinyi, and hundreds of captains. A strong guard, if at this time, order the troops from the prefectures and counties around Chang'an County to gather in our direction, if we can gather six to seven hundred or even thousands of model battalion captains and two to three hundred Jinyi captains, plus Thousands of strong guards, then...there is a chance of winning."

After a pause, he continued: "People of Taiping Mansion, please ask yourself, you are all officials, but if you really go out, can you really do as much as you think? I don't think so, between you So today's capability lies in the Taiping Mansion behind you. If a lieutenant of a model battalion is outside, even if he is physically strong, he can knock down two strong men, but if he is three or five strong men, can he knock down? I don't think so. The reason why the model battalion is so powerful is because the captains gather together and display strengths that ordinary people can't predict."

"So now, give my order. From now on, I will take over the surrounding prefectures and counties, and everyone will gather like Chang'an County. And... name me, I will teach Guanzhong within three to five days, and everyone will know me Zhu Zhan Ji is in Chang'an County, those thieves are useless to kill the people, but if they can teach me to catch them without a fight, that is the real skill, I Zhu Zhanji alone, the value to the emperor can be compared with the whole Guanzhong."

   "..."

   This plan is simply crazy.

   It is tantamount to Zhu Zhanji using himself as a target to attract horse thieves and rebellious parties in various prefectures and counties in Guanzhong.

   Naturally someone wants to persuade Zhu Zhanji: "Your Highness..."

  Zhu Zhanji put on a straight face, and said seriously: "Now I have the final say here, I am acting according to Uncle's words, why, you don't even listen to Uncle's words?"

  Zhu Zhanji is more easy-going most of the time, but when he becomes serious, the innate majesty of being an emperor's grandson is revealed at once.

  By the side, a hundred households of Jinyiwei were taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you can't say that, if it spreads...it will be very detrimental to the King of Wuhu County."

   It’s fine for the emperor’s grandson to take the risk, but he even played Zhang Anshi’s signboard. If something happened, people who didn’t know would think it was Zhang Anshi’s order.

  If this is the case, there is really something good or bad. Didn’t the Prince of Wuhu sing a song with the side stove on, and suddenly a pot fell from the sky?

Zhu Zhanji knew that no one would dare to risk his safety, but his uncle's name is the best to use now, so he calmly said: "Don't think about other things now, anyway. , This is what Uncle means. From now on, listen to me! Zhou Sili, you immediately lead people and build fortifications. Liu Baihu, teach Tiqi, issue my orders, and at the same time, find a way to spy on the depths of the rebellious party Commander Zhang, from now on, I will temporarily serve as the temporary battalion officer of the Model Battalion. You gather all the troops and wait for the day, and you can recruit other officers and soldiers from nearby teams at any time, and reorganize all the official schools."

   Speaking of this, he thought about it seriously: "There are also... people from the Railway Department, surveying the terrain, looking for some good places to fight the thieves."

While explaining, Zhu Zhanji said: "In any case, there can be no further delay. Within half a month, the chaos in Guanzhong will be completely quelled! If it is done, I will guarantee your wealth for fifty years. If it is not done, I will die with you. "

  ...

  There is a second update tonight!
