My Brother-in-law is the Prince

Chapter 514: Unpredictable

  Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di.

  At this time, thoughts are flying.

  So he looked at Zhu Di and said, "Your Majesty means... Jin Youzi has other plans for this move?"

  Zhu Di smiled, but the smile obviously didn't reach his eyes, and said: "Whether there is a conspiracy or not, what does it matter? Just wait and see."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Should I be prepared?"

   "No need." Zhu Di said: "It's useless to prepare. Instead of doing this, it's better to stand on the sidelines. There is a saying that is not broken. If there is any action at this time, it will make people suspicious."

  Zhang An Shidao: "Your Majesty is still wise. But...they are so bold, how dare they pretend to be a bully!"

Zhu Di smiled, and said: "Who can accomplish things in the world, who is not a daring person? Just like me, when I was in trouble, many people thought, how daring I am, how dare I rebel? How many people in this world It is such a person, if such a person succeeds, they will shine forever, and if they lose, they will lose everything, and there is nothing to blame."

  Zhang Anshi couldn't help but smiled and said: "I don't have such courage."

  Zhu Di was noncommittal, but suddenly said: "Really?"

   "Ah..." Zhang Anshi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I am wronged!"

But Zhu Di said: "You don't have such courage because you didn't take that part! If Jianwen made me feel at ease to be a vassal, would I have such courage? If it wasn't for Jianwen, I would abolish a vassal today and tomorrow Forcing a feudal lord to burn himself to death, would I have the courage to put all my eggs in one basket? If it wasn't for the emergency that Jianwen had sent someone to Beiping to arrest me, how could I have made such a painful decision..."

Zhu Di continued to speak eloquently: "Actually, these people... are the same. A new policy will destroy their family fortunes. There is also a long-standing cabinet charter, which will cut off their official careers. Zhang Qing's family, do you really think... these things Won’t it attract backlash? Do you think they can’t do anything to you as long as you have more troops?”

"You're wrong. They won't fight you head-on where you are good at. But how can such a deep hatred be taught them to bear it willingly? It's just that some people... can't find an opportunity, they just wait for the opportunity anxiously. And some people , but he was able to seize the opportunity in a desperate situation and fight back."

   Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di's face and couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty appreciates them?"

  Zhu Di said: "I regard them as opponents, and now suspended animation is the greatest appreciation for them. If not... a mere group of thieves, how can it be worth my effort?"

But then he smiled coldly and said: "It's one thing to appreciate. In the world, there are right and wrong, but there is no right or wrong. I am not a corrupt scholar, and I will not pursue what is right or wrong. I only know who is right or wrong." My enemies, since they are enemies, must be dug out and wiped out, so that all disasters can be eliminated."

   Speaking of this, Zhu Di showed a bit of tiredness, and sighed: "I am really old, and I am no longer as smug as before. What I am doing now is just to clear the last obstacle for my descendants."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty is still very young...you can live...a hundred years old..."

  Zhu Di said: "Others are long live, but you are a hundred years old."

  Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "This is different..."

  Zhu Di shook his head: "Okay, I know you really mean it, don't keep talking. Next, you know what to do."

  Zhang Anshi said: "I obey the order."

   Obviously Zhang Anshi wanted to laugh, but he still had to put on a mournful face. This was a huge challenge to Zhang Anshi's acting skills.

   But there is no way, I can't laugh loudly in front of others at this time.

  Therefore, he had no choice but to keep a sullen face, showing a blank look when he met everyone.

   After all, it is impossible to do it with tears streaming down your face, but it is still easy to act like you are out of your mind.

  Wenyuan Pavilion...

   At this time, it is the next day.

  The smoke in the temple has not yet dissipated.

   The Wenyuan Pavilion, which has always been harmonious, is now filled with gunpowder.

  Sheren and Shu Zuo, now my heart is in my throat.

  At this time, they were all nervous and inexplicable, fearing that they would be involved in it.

   And Hu Guang just went back last night at midnight and managed to take a nap. Early this morning, he hurried to be on duty again.

  Although he couldn't sleep well, he maintained plenty of energy.

  As soon as they arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion, they asked Yang Rong if he had come, and then plunged into Yang Rong's room.

   "Mr. Yang, I thought about it all night and thought it was too scary. Jin Youzi is really scary."

  Yang Rong raised his head, looked at him with strange eyes, and said, "You're right."

  Hu Guangdao: "He really has patience. He doesn't show his face on weekdays, and even occasionally shows support for the New Deal, but until then, he didn't try to see him. How can a person... be so hypocritical!"

  Yang Rong still looked quiet and only hummed.

  Hu Guang looked at him, frowned and said, "Mr. Yang, why are you so calm? You...you..."

  Yang Rong said: "Then what should I do?"

  Hu Guang said anxiously: "It's almost imminent, and now it's the time for the festival of righteousness and death. We eat the king's salary..."

  Yang Rong suddenly interrupted him and said, "Can Mr. Hu sit down and have a sip of tea slowly."

  Hu Guangdao: "I don't sit down, I just stand up and talk."

  Yang Rong smiled helplessly, and said: "Hey... this matter is indeed very serious, but Hu Gong should not be so excited, why don't we wait for the development of the matter before making a conclusion."

   "Why?" Hu Guang looked at him suspiciously.

  Yang Rongdao: "Because...Since Duke Jin made such a choice, there must be a reason for his choice. Now this time is indeed a great opportunity."

   "Great timing?" Hu Guang was confused.

  Yang Rongdao: "Your Majesty may want to make a big move, the new monarch may not be able to gain a stable foothold, and the world is worried. Now... something has happened to the will, and now there are different opinions. The dispute in Wenyuan Pavilion is actually not important anymore."

"Why is it not important?" Hu Guang's anger was raised again immediately, and he said angrily: "You and I were ordered, why is it not important? Last night, you also heard it with your own ears, and you know what His Majesty's oral order is. Is there no right or wrong now? If there is no right and wrong for human beings, what is the difference between them and pigs and dogs?"

Yang Rong smiled wryly and said: "Hey... hey... hey... Mr. Hu, can you let me finish my sentence first. Right and wrong are important, but it is not useful to argue about right and wrong now...but that people in the world are willing to believe that the truth is true. What?"

   Hu Guang stared at him with wide eyes: "Ah... what do you mean?"

Yang Rong said: "If everyone wants Zhang Anshi to become a feudal clan, then at this time, everyone will firmly believe in being a prince and going to Xinzhou to become a feudal clan. If everyone doesn't believe it, everyone will think that Jin Youzi is a hypocritical edict. You understand Did I mean it?"

  Hu Guang frowned into a Sichuan character, and said: "Then people in the world believe it or not?"

  Yang Rong smiled and said: "The reason why Jin Youzi suddenly threw this out in Wenyuan Pavilion, when he didn't have an advantage, is to a certain extent, because he believes... everyone will believe his words."

  Hu Guang said angrily: "Then there is no distinction between right and wrong?"

  Yang Rong said: "Why are you still saying right or wrong?"

  Hu Guang was furious: "In the books I read, in my father's precepts and deeds, some are right and wrong. If there is no right and wrong, then there is no talk of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom!"

  Yang Rong sighed: "What you said is very good, but what we are talking about now is not this, we are talking about the actual situation."

   "Shouldn't people talk about this in real situations? So what's the difference between a hypocrite and a hypocrite?" Hu Guang said.

  Yang Rong looked at Hu Guang's furious look, feeling very helpless, and said: "It seems that I can't convince you, Mr. Hu came here just to say this?"

Hu Guangdao: "I've made up my mind. I plan to go to see the prince and explain the reason. This matter is not trivial, and it is related to His Majesty's oral order. If even His Majesty the Crown Prince can't trust me, then I, Hu Guang, will simply resign and ask His Majesty if he believes in Jin Youzi. It’s still me, Hu Guang...Yang Gong, we have always had a good relationship, and you will not go with us.”

  Yang Rong shook his head: "No."

   Hu Guang stared at him and said, "You are greedy for wealth and power, and you are obsessed with power!"

Yang Rongdao: "It's not this problem, but this problem. Even looking for the prince is useless. His Highness the prince has no power to make decisions. He is only the prince now. If you teach him how to deal with it now, you will only put him in a dilemma. "

Seeing that Hu Guang wanted to refute, Yang Rong continued earnestly: "Think about it, if he believes in you, then those who believe in Jin Youzi will think that the prince even tried to keep Zhang Anshi on his body. Even going against His Majesty's will is a great disobedience. Think about it, can the crown prince bear the accusation of disobedience?"

"The most frightening thing here is far from being as simple as right and wrong. Rather, it puts His Royal Highness in an embarrassing situation. At the same time, it also seals Zhang Anshi, giving the Zhang family a way out. For Zhang Anshi It would be a good choice to leave everything here and return to Xinzhou. For the officials who have been tortured by the New Deal these years, there is also an additional outlet. For the gentry in the world..."

  Hu Guangdao: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Yang Rongdao: "Even if you don't want to go, I advise Mr. Hu not to go. At this time, His Royal Highness is about to ascend the Great Treasure, and it is time to win the hearts of the world. We are arguing over this, whether it is said to be a party dispute, or it is said to be a matter of passion. It doesn't matter if you fight. But His Royal Highness, no matter what choice you make, it will put him, the new king who is about to inherit the great rule, in a very embarrassing situation."

"Historically, new monarchs have to show filial piety and win the hearts of the world when they ascend the throne. That's why... there will be amnesty in the world, and measures to win over the ministers will be adopted. After all the overall situation has been decided, it will be carried out after a year or two. My own opinion. At this time...to persecute His Highness the Crown Prince is out of the question. We should focus on the overall situation and limit this debate to Wenyuan Pavilion and all officials, not the East Palace."

   "You..." Hu Guang pointed at Yang Rong, but he didn't bother to say any more, stomped his feet, and went aggressively.

   Hu Guang was very angry.

   Go straight away with anger.

  However, although he was furious and disapproved of Yang Rong's words, but...he didn't go directly to the East Palace, but obediently returned to his room on duty.

  I didn’t even think about drawing, but took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and started to draw cockroaches. I drew dozens of cockroaches, and thoughtfully marked each cockroach, big and small.

   "Jin Youzi."

   "Jin Youzi's eldest son..."

   "Jin Youzi's eldest grandson..."

  …

  Jin Youzi appeared to be extremely low-key, he did not continue to talk about His Majesty's oral order, even if someone came to visit, he never continued to talk about it with anyone.

  He was still silent, looking extraordinarily calm, as if nothing had happened.

  Even at the cusp of this storm, he is still in business as usual.

   "Jie Gong..." Jin Youzi came to Xie Jin with a memorial.

   Xie Jin nodded, raised his head and glanced at Jin Youzi, and said with a smile, "What advice does Mr. Jin have for you?"

   "This memorandum... is about Jiangxi's persuasion of farmers. It was played by Jiangxi's chief envoy. It's just that there are some unclear words here. Can Xie Gong take a look."

Xie Jin nodded, reached out to take the memorial, just looked at it, and said: "Last year's grain harvest was bumper, so this year the common people hope to grow more sangzi, which is understandable. If the government orders not to force the cultivation, it is not appropriate. The best way is to limit only some of the big households."

  Jin Youzi nodded.

  Xie Jin returned the memorial, and Jin Youzi took it. Jin Youzi said: "I heard that on the other side of Jishui, Xie Gong's people will also move to Java?"

Xie Jin sighed: "Jishui is a good place with outstanding people. Hey... This is a place to grow and raise. It is impossible to say that it is not painful to leave your hometown and give up easily. But Java also lacks manpower. Xie Mou thinks about it, let them Go to Java, go make a difference!"

"It's tough there, but if you don't go through these hardships, how can you honor the lintel? All along, which one of the big families didn't start a business hard, so that it benefits the children and grandchildren? It makes the children and grandchildren have nothing to worry about? This matter... Xie has repeatedly After writing letters and advising them, they have been unable to make up their minds, and now...seeing that a certain person has rejoined the cabinet, they actually asked them to enter Java, and they agreed."

  Jin Youzi said: "It's really admirable for Xie Gong to sacrifice himself so much."

   Xie Jin smiled and said: "I'm afraid it's teaching people to ridicule. They have already entered the cabinet, but they still teach the people to go to dangerous places."

  Jin Youzi thought for a while and said, "There are indeed doubts."

"Because this is the general trend of the world." Xie Jin glanced at him and said, "It's like enfeoffing the feudal princes after the Zhou family defeated the merchants. How many clan relatives of the Zhou family went to the world, and the hardships involved can be imagined." , but that’s not the case... Where did the Zhou family’s royal career come from? How did hundreds of princes surnamed Ji come from? Throughout the dynasties and dynasties, there have been many people who can see the general trend clearly. People, but very few.”

   "Why? Because this trend is the result of the joint efforts of thousands of people. If everyone doesn't work hard, how can the general trend come about? People are lazy and want to pick up what is ready-made.

After a pause, Xie Jin smiled again and said: "Jin Gong, you and I are from the same hometown, and there are no outsiders here. There are some things that Xie Mou shouldn't ask too much, but at this moment I can't help but whisper in my heart, and I ask Jin Gong to enlighten me." .”

  Jin Youzi said: "Please also ask for instructions."

   Xie Jin's eyes were gloomy, as if something was flickering, but he said lightly: "Did Duke Jin really hear about your majesty conferring the king of Song Dynasty on the vassal?"

Jin Youzi wasn't angry, nor was he in a hurry to defend himself. He still looked calm and calm, and said slowly: "I really didn't expect this to be a muddled account, but...Jin can't argue with it, so I can only say at the moment... Believe it or not. then none."

   After Xie Jin listened, he pursed his lips, as if he had found his answer.

  He just said indifferently: "You can do it yourself."

After thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "In fact, Java is really a good place. Although many places there are still barren, it is close to the vast ocean, and it faces Daming across the sea. There are no four seasons. The land is fertile and can be called The Land of Abundance."

  Jin Youzi smiled and said, "It's congratulations that Mr. Xie found a good place."

   As he spoke, Jin Youzi took the memorial and left.

   Work hard for a while.

  But a secretary came in a hurry, and said: "Jie Gong...the new memorial..."

  Gong Xie said lightly: "Bring it."

  Who knew that there were quite a lot of memorials sent by the Secretary of the General Administration.

   It was piling up like a mountain on Xie Jin's desk.

   Xie Jin was interested, and immediately took a copy, and only glanced at it lightly.

  Then, he was thoughtful, and then...he said slowly: "Three..."

   Then spit out another word: "Two..."

   Shuzuo, who hadn't left yet, was very puzzled, so he looked at Xie Jin suspiciously.

  Only seeing Jin read again: "One!"

   This word is finished.

"ah…"

  From the guard next door, there was a piercing roar.

   It can be described as sonic boom rubble.

   Xie Jin had a clear look on his face, heaved a sigh of relief, hooked his lips, and couldn't help saying: "It's still the same... Everyone has changed, but he hasn't changed!"

   As he spoke, he shook his head... and sat upright with a wry smile.

  The source of the voice came from Hu Guang's mouth.

  Hu Guang also just saw the memorial sent by the Secretary of the General Administration, and after roaring for a while, he immediately turned the memorial into a mess.

   Immediately afterwards, he stood up and ran to Yang Rong's room angrily. When he saw Yang Rong, he said angrily, "Shameless, really shameless..."

Yang Rong was also holding a book in his hand and smiled bitterly: "Hush ... a little movement, people who do not know, think you and I are conspiring, just like you and I are the same as the party."

  Hu Guang hummed: "A gentleman is a friend and not a party. I am not afraid of what people say, but I am not afraid of what people say."

  Yang Rong sighed: "Okay, Mr. Hu...you stop being angry, and speak slowly if you have something to say."

  Hu Guangdao: "It seems that Zhang An Shicheng's trip is a foregone conclusion. This Jin Youzi... is really despicable and shameless. He must have colluded with others a long time ago! Hey...you have so many memorials here? Are they also sent?"

  Yang Rongdao: "I said earlier that the key to the problem is not right or wrong, but... what other people believe in the truth..."

   "Are they right to believe?" Hu Guang said coldly.
