My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 478 Adding an official

   Zhu Di's joy is justified.

  It's easy to say it alone, but it's too difficult to do it.

  With so many people, how to make them obey your arrangement wholeheartedly, how to seize the opportunity, how to finally accomplish one thing, these kinds of things are easy to say, but in fact they are more difficult than reaching the sky.

  Ordinary people, let alone tens of thousands of people, let him manage ten people, not to mention doing anything, it is difficult not to lose the chain.

  The most important thing is... This battle not only showed Zhu Zhanji's unique vision, but also a kind of courage that ordinary people don't have.

   And all of this...

   All prove that the young man in front of him, even if he succeeds to the throne now, will never be worse than an ordinary emperor.

  The so-called emperor's appearance is expected to be so.

   Baiguan looked at Zhu Zhanji with strange eyes, as if he had re-acquainted with this grandson who had grown up since he was a child.

  Although Zhu Zhanji has not learned many emperor skills, I have to say that this kid is really... scary.

  So much so that at this moment, many people dare not treat Zhu Zhanji as a boy anymore.

  At this time, I saw Zhu Zhanji saying: "Grandpa, in fact, this is nothing. This is all uncle's teaching, and the soldiers below are just doing their best."

  Zhu Zhanji's answer is more satisfactory.

   This is also Zhu Zhanji's greatest advantage. He knows better than anyone what his advantage is. When he was in Guanzhong, he kept strengthening this advantage.

   That is: You all follow me well, and you will get credit if you succeed. But the most different thing about me is that I will never compete with anyone for credit.

  Because in this world, if there is anyone who does not need credit at all, then it is me, Zhu Zhanji.

  These credits are not worth mentioning to Zhu Zhanji. He was born a nobleman, and all the fame is of no use to him.

  This also means that as long as you work together with him, everyone gets a point of credit, it will be your own, and you don't have to worry about someone competing with you for credit.

  For any group, this is definitely a great temptation!

  Because throughout the ages, for ordinary people, it is very common for the credit to be discounted. It’s just that some offer 50 or 40% off, and some directly cut your ankles off.

  Zhu Di was very pleased, but at this moment, his eyes quickly swept across a person, and he said: "Just now Zou Qing criticized Zhang Qing, saying that Zhang Qing harmed the emperor's grandson, and committed a heinous crime..."

  Zhu Di spoke slowly, with a very peaceful tone.

  Zou Ji's expression changed slightly.

   Zhu Zhanji's performance, to be honest, even in the eyes of an orthodox scholar like him, it can definitely be called astonishing.

  Although he didn't read the Four Books, he knew the pros and cons, and he didn't read the Zizhi Tongjian, but he was well versed in the art of manipulating people. I'm afraid there are few people who can compare with the civil and military skills of the Manchu Dynasty.

  Zou Ji hurriedly bowed down, the Guozijian, who has always been outspoken and outspoken, actually said: "I...negligence, I really deserve death."

  Zhu Di looked at Zou Ji with a smile, and said: "Zou Qing also thinks that my grandson has been taught by Zhang Qing, and he has a climate?"

  Zou Ji was silent for a moment, although he didn't want to admit it at all, he still sighed and said: "At this age, with this insight, to be able to act so vigorously and resolutely, the ministers are really amazed."

  Zhu Di nodded, quite proud. When one is old, what could be more comforting than his own children and grandchildren?

   What's more, it is debatable whether the old Zhu's family treats others well or badly, but they always have a kind of old farmer's unique protective psychology towards their offspring.

   Zhu Di still put on a stern voice: "In the future, you must think twice before discussing matters, and you must not fabricate right and wrong out of thin air. If I trust Zou Qing's words, will it lead to a big mistake?"

  Zou Ji was so ashamed at this moment that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

  Zhu Di said: "This time... I will pardon you not guilty, and there will be no next time."

   Zou Ji hurriedly thanked him.

   All officials were silenced.

  Zhu Di immediately looked at Zhang Anshi happily, and said, "Zhang Qing..."

   Once I changed my bad attitude just now, I felt like a spring breeze in a blink of an eye.

  Zhang Anshi didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and hurriedly said, "The minister is here."

  Zhu Di said: "I just spoke a little louder, don't take offense."

  Zhang Anshi: "..."

  The emperor's words are really... Can he say that he is offended?

I saw Zhu Di said again: "I am old, and sometimes there will be things I don't understand. You are a junior, so you must not take these things to heart. An Shi helped Henan, Guanzhong and other places, and saved countless people. You also deserve credit."

  The latter words sounded pleasant to Zhang Anshi.

  So Zhang Anshi said modestly: "I dare not take credit for it. From the relief to the thieves, from the prince and the emperor's grandson, down to the soldiers and civil servants, all of them have made great contributions. How dare I steal their credit?"

  Zhu Di smiled, but he didn't continue to argue about it. He just put his hands behind his back and said, "In any case, you all have worked hard."

As he spoke, he walked up to the main hall step by step and ascended to his seat. He looked around at all the officials and said, "Forget about Huguang for now, but the land of Guanzhong and Henan is now suffering from natural disasters and man-made disasters, and now it is suffering from military disasters, and the lives are devastated. It is terrible, and now... How to deal with it?"

  Zhu Di looked at Baiguan seriously.

   This matter is of great importance, after all, it involves two provinces and tens of millions of people.

  So someone took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the imperial court should send good ministers..."

  Everyone looked over, only to see that the person who spoke was Xia Yuanji, Shangshu of Hubu.

   It was only halfway through his words, but Zhu Di said: "Who is a good minister?"

   "This..." Xia Yuanji said: "It's not as good as after Ting Tui..."

  Zhu Di smiled, but turned to look at Yang Rong at the side, and said, "Does Yang Qing have any suggestions?"

  Under normal circumstances, someone has already put forward their own suggestions to the emperor, and the emperor turns to ask other people for their opinions. It was basically confirmed that Zhu Di was not satisfied with Xia Yuanji's suggestion.

  Yang Rong stood up slowly with a smile on his face. He said: "Your Majesty's mind is free to judge the good and the bad of my ministers. I suspect that Your Majesty has prejudices. Since His Majesty intends to do so, I will follow suit."

  No one expected that Yang Rong would answer like this.

   And Zhu Di looked at Yang Rong with a smile, and seemed to be aware that this Yang Rong seemed to have seen his thoughts.

Of course, Yang Rong also had thoughts. Instead of catering to the emperor, he expressed his majesty's thoughts. Instead, he showed incomparable obedience. The implication was that the world belongs to Ming Dynasty, and the emperor of Ming Dynasty is His Majesty. Why should His Majesty be concerned about such a matter Ask around? It's better to directly issue an order to show the emperor's prestige. Anyway, any order of His Majesty, the ministers and others will follow it.

   This is actually a statement.

Zhu Di nodded and said: "What Yang Qing said, I agree with the truth! Let's just do it like this. You Dudu's Mansion will be promoted to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and Zhili will be controlled, as well as Henan and Shaanxi. The candidates for the Metropolitan Governor , let Zhang Qing appoint him, what do you think?"

  Hundred officials are dumb.

  This... authority is too great.

   This is equivalent to setting up a super organization, and this organization is equivalent to occupying one-fifth of the world's population and land.

  Zhu Di wandered his eyes, observing the reactions of the officials.

  Even Zhang Anshi seemed surprised, as if hesitating whether to refuse.

  Yang Rong, on the other hand, was calm and relaxed. He seemed to have guessed the holy will long ago and was not surprised.

  Xia Yuanji stood up first, and said: "Your Majesty, I think...whether...the power is too great...this governor's mansion, I am afraid that only the governor of Jingzhou in the Eastern Jin Dynasty can compare."

  Xia Yuanji is worthy of being a scholar, and he made up this allusion by hand.

  During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty at that time could be almost divided into three parts, one was Yangzhou, the other was Jingzhou, and the other was the more remote Shu land.

  In order to resist the threat from the north, coupled with the checks and balances between the aristocratic family and the imperial power within the dynasty, the imperial court often has to set up a governor of Jingzhou to control Jingzhou.

  But because the governor of Jingzhou was so powerful that he almost controlled 30% of the land and population of the Eastern Jin Dynasty at that time. Therefore, looking at the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is not uncommon for the governor of Jingzhou to conspire against rebels.

   Every once in a while, the governor of Jingzhou would lead his troops down the river to threaten the capital at that time.

  Of course, Xia Yuanji has such considerations, and there are reasons for it. He is a minister, and it is reasonable to object.

  Zhu Di was not impatient, and smiled: "If I appoint someone else, can I stabilize Guanzhong and Henan Chief Envoys?"

   This rhetorical question left Xia Yuanji speechless for a moment.

  Zhu Di went on to say: "Then... how about Xia Qing going to serve as the chief political envoy of Shaanxi? As for the chief political envoy of Henan, who can Xia Qing choose?"

"this…"

  When Xia Yuanji was hesitant about what to say, Zhu Di said again: "I have made up my mind, so I will set up the Governor's Mansion! Zhang Qing, you will be the Governor."

   Zhang Anshi saw Zhu Di's resolute attitude, and this obviously has great benefits for the promotion of the New Deal. Immediately, after a little hesitation, he said: "Your Majesty is so trustworthy. It has never been seen before in history. I have no choice but to report it with all my heart."

  Zhang Anshi is not a person with a twitchy personality. Now that he understands the power of it, he simply accepts it.

  Zhu Di didn't allow any of the officials to continue to object, so he waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, let's come up with a charter and talk about how to govern. I'm tired today, so let's do it!"

   Said, stop court.

  Hundred officials were still in shock. Obviously, the news was so sensational that everyone was caught off guard.

  By the time everyone reacted, Zhu Di had already driven away, and there was no one in sight.

  Hu Guang seems very depressed these days. He escaped a catastrophe, but he went to Guanzhong and Henan on his last trip, and finally realized...his own abilities are lower than his expectations.

   This made him very uncomfortable.

  I thought that I was a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, no matter what, a few chief ministers in the district were still able to catch them. Now that I think about it carefully, my life seems to be nothing special.

  The most painful thing for people is to face the mediocre self.

   What is even more painful is that Hu Guangnian had to accept the reality of his mediocrity after he passed his forties.

  It turned out that I was able to become a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, not because of my extensive reading of poetry and books, nor because of my amazing talents, but because of my luck.

  Thus, although he was not convicted this time, he was always depressed and sighed.

   Fortunately, Yang Rong was always on the sidelines to comfort and encourage him, saying that you are actually capable, but not that capable.

   Today, Hu Guang looked shocked.

After retreating from the imperial court and returning to Wenyuan Pavilion, he quickly ran to Yang Rong's room on duty, and said in surprise, "Duke Yang, Duke Yang, what His Majesty has done is really unexpected. Could it be that His Majesty really...had no precautions at all?" Is it? This is the foundation of the country..."

  A qualified emperor is best at checks and balances.

   And Zhu Di is obviously a very qualified emperor, but why is it not surprising that he directly issued such a decree now?

   "The authority is too great..." Hu Guang said with a troubled face: "Mr. Yang... seems to be instigating this matter."

  Yang Rong still looked calm and said with a smile: "It's not my instigation, it's just...things will come to fruition, so I'm just happy to see it happen."

   "What do you mean when it will happen?" Hu Guang frowned and said, "Did Your Majesty have this intention long ago? Then why didn't Duke Yang say it earlier? Oh... Your Majesty is confused..."

Yang Rong continued to smile and said: "Who says Your Majesty is confused? Hu Gong said carefully, you have to know that those fans in Dongchang are not capable of riding outside the palace. They are in this palace and in Wenyuan Pavilion. There are still some abilities."

  Hu Guang's face was miserable, and he quickly said: "Mr. Yang knows that I don't mean it...I mean..."

   "You mean...why did His Majesty make such a decision, don't you?" Yang Rong took a sip of tea and looked up at Hu Guang.

  Hu Guang nodded heavily, and then said: "This Metropolitan Governor's Mansion..."

But Yang Rong interrupted him and said: "Your Majesty has been hesitant about the Henan and Guanzhong matters before, so these days, he has not mentioned this matter. But now...the emperor's grandson returns to Beijing, things are very different. "

  Hu Guang couldn't help but listen carefully, subconsciously said: "What's the difference?"

  Yang Rong stared at Hu Guang, and said: "First, if Henan and Guanzhong want to do everything, Zhang Anshi is the best candidate."

  Hu Guang sighed, and said with some resentment: "This kid does have some ideas."

Yang Rong smiled, and continued: "Secondly, from today's perspective, the emperor's grandson must become a great weapon. Historically, when the emperor granted authority, the most worrying thing is that the ruler is weak and the minister is strong. Although Zhang Anshi is a foreign relative, he is also deeply trusted, but after all... Still a courtier... This is of course the reason why His Majesty has always been indecisive about Henan and Guanzhong. But now, there is no such worry. The emperor's grandson will definitely become a wise master like Emperor Xuan of the Han in the future! Think about it, Da Ming San In fifty years, will there still be a situation where the master is weak and the minister is strong?"

  Hu Guang's eyes widened slightly, and he suddenly realized: "So that's it! I understand, I didn't expect this."

Yang Rong smiled and said: "So, don't worry about it. Of course, there is the third one, and the third one is Your Majesty... I hope the new policy can be implemented, not only limited to Zhili, but now Henan and Guanzhong have become popular. At this time It will be a pity if this opportunity is missed.”

"So... Isn't it a matter of course for this Metropolitan Governor's Mansion? This guy Zhang Anshi... In fact, I still underestimated him. I thought that he is now an extremely human minister, and there may be no hope of continuing to go further. Unexpectedly... He has actually cultivated the emperor's grandson, which on the contrary makes him have the possibility to go further, do you think this guy did it unintentionally, or did he plan it long ago?"

  Hu Guang thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Forget it, don't ask me, I don't want to bother thinking about these things, this is something smart people like you and Zhang Anshi should think about."

  Yang Rong couldn't help laughing and said: "Hu Gong, don't be discouraged, how can you say such depressing words?"

  Hu Guang sighed: "It is only to boost your morale and destroy your own prestige. I really feel more and more unfathomable to you."

Yang Rong smiled and said: "The reason why Mr. Hu is depressed is because he is in Wenyuan Pavilion. It is not easy to be surrounded by either His Majesty, the old man or people like Zhang Anshi, even an **** like Yishiha. It’s understandable to be upset about it.”

   "But if Hu Gong thinks about it, if Hu Gong stays in the army or in the workshop, he may be superior in wisdom, stand out from the crowd, and stand out from the crowd!"

  Hu Guang's face changed slightly, and he opened his mouth to argue a few words, but in the end he said like a defeated rooster, "Anyway, whatever Duke Yang says is right."

  Yang Rong: "..."

At this moment, Yang Rong couldn't laugh anymore. He began to worry about Hu Guang's mental state. He knew Hu Guang well. In the past, if he teased Hu Guang casually, this guy would break up with him The last few sentences are different now. No matter how provocative, this guy is right.

  ...

   "Uncle, Uncle..."

  Out of the palace, Zhu Zhanji excitedly caught up with Zhang Anshi.

  Zhang Anshi stopped and turned around, but said: "No, no, you are my uncle, and I am your nephew."

   Zhu Zhanji listened, and said: "Uncle...how do you say this?"

Zhang Anshi said: "I have regarded you as my own flesh and blood since I was a child. Think about it carefully, how does Uncle love you on weekdays? You bastard, you actually repay your kindness with revenge! Oh my god, it's like this now, how can you pay it back in the future? Twenty years from now, won't you still want to raid my house and destroy my family? Hey...don't say it, don't say it, I'm so panicked, Zhang Anshi is unlucky, I've treated you like this for more than ten years."

Zhu Zhanji saw Zhang Anshi beating his chest and slumping his feet, and he was in pain, so he hurriedly said: "But uncle... If I don't do this, how can I control the people around me and teach them to obey orders? Besides, didn't the emperor praise uncle too? Ah Uncle, I am doing this for your own good."

   Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Zhanji's face asking for credit, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and said: "What are you talking about! What if something happens to you? If something happens to you, I will pack up and go to Xinzhou to play with kangaroos."

  Zhu Zhanji was taken aback for a moment, and then asked curiously, "Uncle, what is a kangaroo?"

  Zhang Anshidao: "The kangaroo is the same as my uncle. It feeds and takes care of its offspring when it is born, and turns its own flesh and blood into a body that feeds young children. But what's the use of this? In the end, it's just an exchange of kindness and revenge."

  ...

  Students, there will be more in the evening, let's continue to vote, the tiger is desperately coding, and everyone will try their best to support it.
