my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 215 Your Majesty is overjoyed
There was a moment of silence in the hall.

Everyone froze in place.

Only the eyes are moving desperately.

Zhu Di thought he heard it wrong.

He looked at the eunuch and said, "Zhang Anshi's corpse is here?"

In fact, when Zhu Di asked this sentence, he felt that his words were full of loopholes.

Not to mention, it's only been a day or two, and this isn't a galloping horse, but a coffin, it can't be so fast.

Even if it is so fast, there must be someone reporting before coming, let alone transporting the coffin to the Forbidden City.

Seeing that the eunuch finally knelt down at this moment, he kowtowed and said out of breath, "No, no, no. Your Majesty, it's Marquis Annan... Marquis Annan Zhang Anshi...he, he's in good spirits...he came to the palace to have an audience."

This description is very vivid. It is impossible for a dead person to be in high spirits.

Xie Jin was a little anxious.

impossible!
It's impossible!

Xie Jin said with a stiff face, "Very energetic? You mean, Marquis Annan is still alive?"

He asked what everyone wanted to ask.

The eunuch said: "Yes, he is still alive. I startled the servants a lot and thought they were fraudulent corpses. Later, when I got closer, I found that they were alive."

Zhu Di: "..."

Baiguan: "..."

Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui: "..."

Among the crowd, there was only one man named Jin Zhong who couldn't help shrinking his neck.

In fact, he came back to it afterwards.

Why did Zhang Anshi come to visit him at that time?

Why did you leave after talking nonsense?

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Anshi went to Zhenjiang, and was burnt to death inexplicably.

Think about it carefully, damn it, this utterly devoid of conscience.

People didn't come to him for advice at all.

This is misfortune!
What a smart person Jin Zhong is... He just saw the state of the palace, the more serious the discussion was, the more sad His Majesty was, and the more people like Xie Jin applauded Zhang Anshi, the more embarrassed he felt.

dying.

into his mother.

This is to kill people.

But thinking about it carefully, he couldn't clean himself up even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Fortunately...Jin Zhong is very wise. In the past two days, he has been harassing his relatives, friends and old friends everywhere.

These old relatives and friends are all old people from Yan Wangfu.

That is, the hero of Jing Nan.

Although he didn't say it clearly.

But at least... There are various hints.

Meaning... this is the result of brainstorming.

After all... this was not his own idea, in fact... it was to hit Ji Gang, who was so eager to jump over the wall, that he came up with this bad plan.

As for those who were dragged into the water by him, they actually began to have some doubts slowly.

Doubt is doubt.

Zhang Anshi's death is so real, it seems that there is no need to doubt others.

But at this moment, someone finally started to recall it, and then someone stared and started searching for Jin Zhong.

Jin Zhong felt that his neck was swishing like a gust of wind.

He swallowed his saliva, and could only smile wryly, there was no way... the old man was also a victim!

Of course... at this time, Jin Zhong still had no way to vent his anger on Zhang Anshi.

After all, it's for the purpose of attacking rebellious ministers. It's his official business. If you turn against him, it will appear that your status is too low.

It's just...it's still...embarrassing.

Jin Zhong decided to play dead.

How about love.

After a long silence, Zhu Di said, "Zhang Anshi is still alive?"

The eunuch smiled wryly and said, "Alive, still alive...It's absolutely true."

Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui's face turned green, and suddenly, his face was extremely embarrassing.

Zhu Di subconsciously rejoiced and said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, I will call him in, I want to see it with my own eyes."

Where did the eunuch dare to hesitate, he went in a hurry.

The hall fell into deathly silence again.

More and more people are beginning to recall it.

Zhang Anshi, that bastard, everyone has done tricks to this extent, how can he still be alive?

There are already people who are eager to find some guy. If Zhang Anshi really appears in front of him alive and kicking, he will be crushed to death again.

Zhu Di looked very anxious at this moment.

After grief, his mind became extremely clear.

The so-called caring is chaotic, but now...he has begun to regain his senses.

A terrible idea appeared in Zhu Di's heart, and then...he began to think about it, and the more he thought about it...the more Zhu Di felt...damn...it was really possible.

So Zhu Di remained silent, staring straight at the door of the hall with only one pair of eyes.

Finally, a familiar figure appeared.

Zhang Anshi walked in panting, dressed in armor.

When I saw Zhang Anshi...

Someone is happy.

Some people's hearts sank to the bottom.

Damn it, this bastard is really not dead.

Zhang Anshi saluted and said: "Minister Zhang Anshi, I have met Your Majesty, long live my emperor..."

Zhu Di: "..."

Zhu Di went down the hall slowly, and then walked into the hall.

Standing in front of Zhang Anshi, he looked at it seriously for a while, and then circled around Zhang Anshi a few times.

reach out...

He poked Zhang Anshi's nose.

The nose is still warm.

Seeing that Zhu Di stretched out his hand to poke him, this guy subconsciously wanted to hide, as if he only hated that his armor wasn't thick enough.

Zhu Di finally reacted, and cursed, "Why the hell are you alive again?"

Zhang Anshi looked at His Majesty's wide-eyed eyes, and said bravely: "Maybe the King of Hades won't accept it."

Zhu Di looked furious.

Zhang Anshi immediately said: "Your Majesty... I have something to play."

Zhu Di glared at him and said, "Don't talk about him left and right."

Zhang Anshi said: "It's about Ji Gang's rebellion."

This statement came out.

really……

Zhu Di's eyes burst out with coldness.

He looked at Zhang Anshi faintly, and in an instant, his whole body was full of murderous aura.

"Is there any evidence?"

Zhang Anshi came prepared, took out a stack of confessions from his sleeve, and said: "There are all personal and physical evidence, the criminal evidence is very detailed, and the matter is very serious."

Of course things are serious.

This is the commander of Jin Yiwei.

In the past few years, he has done so much dirty work for the emperor, known so many secrets, and controlled tens of thousands of guards in Jinyi. Even the big Han generals in the palace are his subordinates.

How could Zhu Di not pay attention to such a thing?
Of course, the reason why Zhu Di decided to give up Ji Gang was only because Ji Gang began to have his own ideas and became difficult to control.

But... What Zhu Di couldn't imagine was that Ji Gang dared to rebel.

So when Zhang Anshi said the word treason, the nature of the problem changed again.

With a sullen face, Zhu Di accepted the confession.

These confessions cannot be shown to others, and only Zhu Di can read them.

This is a case involving the pro-military, and there are too many secrets in it, and it may even affect the royal family.

Zhu Di lowered his head...

Seeing that Ji Gang actually used eunuchs to serve himself.

Even... There are prohibited items hidden in the house.

Collusion with bandits.

Destroy the good and rich households.

He patiently flipped through one by one.

There is also a search for criminal evidence of Jin Yiwei's subordinates, etc., which are kept secret in order to blackmail the privacy of Jin Yiwei and the ministers.

The more Zhu Di looked at it, the more angry his eyes became.

There is no small crime in any one of these.

Ji Gang in Zhu Di's mind is completely different.

In the past, Ji Gang was submissive to him, as humble as a maggot.

Ji Gang behaved so humblely that even Zhu Di thought that although this person had ambitions, such ambitions were far less than the fear of him.

So he thought that this person would never dare to mess around under his nose.

But in the end, Zhu Di was still careless. He overestimated himself too much. This Ji Gang is not just nonsense?

even……

When he saw a confession about the false transmission of the imperial decree and obtained millions of catties of official salt, Zhu Di was numb.

Salt Iron Monopoly.

In addition to the grain tax, the biggest source of Ming's taxes is the salt tax. Therefore, all salt merchants need salt imports, otherwise they will be punished as selling illegal salt.

Every catty of salt is silver.

But... Ji Gang casually took a piece of Jin Yiwei's driving sticker, and could pretend that it was Zhu Di's oral instruction.

Moving salt to the salt field, millions of catties, what is the concept of millions of catties?
This is all money, real gold and silver!
What's even more frightening is that it's not just that.

The frightening thing is that, to be so grandiose, there are many procedures to go through.

For example, the middle-level officials of Jinyiwei who handle affairs, such as the official school responsible for escorting, such as the merchants who distribute, or the personnel of the saltworks, and...the household department... so much salt, the saltworks must report to the household department.

As for the local officials, they also need to assist, the salt transport envoy...and the chief envoy...don't these people...don't see anything strange?
Anyone with a little brain will know that it is impossible for the emperor to directly issue an oral order of hundreds of thousands of catties of salt.

However, from top to bottom, everyone inside and outside the Jinyiwei was silent.

No one reported.

No one questioned it.

What does this prove?
It proves that inside Jinyiwei, even half of the household department, as well as the local chief minister, Yantie envoy, local magistrate and county magistrate, are all pretending to be stupid.

Everyone turned a blind eye.

What's even more frightening...Ji Gang expected early on that no one dared to speak out, no one questioned, and he wasn't even worried at all. Some people dared to report.It can be seen how confident Ji Gang is in himself.

And where does this confidence come from?

Why can you be so confident?

Did he make himself emperor?
Zhu Di took a deep breath, he felt a little dizzy.

Confessions are made in various unimaginable ways.

So much so that Zhu Di raised a question, this Ji Gang...how dare he do this?

Looking up, Zhu Di stared at Zhang Anshi and said, "Are these... are they absolutely true?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, these are all the confessions of his confidants, with signatures and affidavits on them, and not one, nor two, these people...in fact, there are quite a few of them, and they all participated in Ji Gang's matter. That is to say ...They blew themselves up, and they were actually ready to be implicated. Your Majesty, who would risk their own heads to expose Ji Gang?"

After a pause, Zhang Anshi continued: "Besides, in this confession, each other's testimony can be cross-corroborated, and...the time, place, and many people are involved, even if one or two people frame it, but as long as Follow the confession to arrest other people involved in the incident, and there are so many sufferers... Could it be that... these people will also lie." For example, in the case of the salt field where the false imperial decree was passed on, there are at least hundreds of people involved in the handover Thousands of people, and the saltworks must also have account books, so... I feel that this cannot deceive people. "

Zhu Di nodded, the facts of this case are indeed clearly visible, this Ji Gang really didn't even pretend.

At this time, Zhang Anshi was very close to Zhu Di, and he lowered his voice and said: "I also heard that sometimes he would call some officials and schools to a banquet at home, and come out in front of the guests, wearing a python robe that a prince can only wear. , no one dares to say no, just say that he is extraordinary... Praise him..."

"That's enough." Zhu Di was furious, his face blushing to the extreme: "Don't say any more."

What Zhang Anshi said was like slapping Zhu Di in the face.

He thought that controlling Ji Gang himself was like a child's play, but who knew... he was more like being played by Ji Gang. This Ji Gang simply regarded him, the emperor, as a fool.

Zhu Di was very angry, and said viciously: "Where is Ji Gang?"

"It has already been taken." Zhang Anshi said: "I have ordered someone to take custody of him. I am worried that he will die. There are too many things on him."

Zhu Di said, "Is he just going to get caught like this?"

Zhang Anshi said: "He's not willing to catch him without a fight, but...he didn't expect that the minister suddenly appeared, it's all thanks to...Jin Butang..."

After Jin Zhong listened in the hall, his face changed suddenly, and he began to subconsciously hide behind his colleagues.

Although it was expected that Zhang Anshi and the guy who lacked great virtue...he would definitely involve Jin Zhong.

But I didn't expect that when this guy talked about him, he was so eloquent and didn't look ashamed at all.

Zhu Di didn't continue to ask, at this time, all civil and military officials were here, Zhu Di only said: "Those official schools, are they under control?"

"I didn't control them." Zhang Anshi said: "These people are just a turtle in a urn."

Zhu Di immediately understood that Zhang Anshi had controlled these people.

He took a deep look at Zhang Anshi, took a deep breath, and asked, "How did you come back to life?"

Zhang Anshi smiled wryly, "This...it's a long story."

Zhu Di looked around, and said seriously: "Back down, all gentlemen."

As soon as this statement comes out...

Everyone's face was miserable.

Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, looked sad just now, and now he is even more sad.

And Xie Jin was not much better.

His mind has started to run at high speed, and at this moment...a possibility slowly emerged in his mind.

But... Even if you think of this possibility, what's the use?
As a result, all the ministers retreated one after another.

Before leaving, Yang Rong and Hu Guang glanced at Zhang Anshi with strange eyes.

Sometimes... they are convinced by Zhang Anshi, Zhang Anshi can be regarded as a model who is particularly capable of tossing around, and this kind of thing can only be done thanks to him.

As soon as Jin Zhong heard this and stepped back, he immediately hid himself in the crowd and fled as if he had received an amnesty.

In any case, this is a place of right and wrong, it is better to run first.

Who knows, at this time a voice said: "Jin Qing's family, stay here too."

Jin Zhong: "..."

He could only sigh in his heart, but it's a pity...that someone had counted his fate for the rest of his life, but in the end...he hadn't counted himself.

But at this time, Wei Guogong Xu Huizu deliberately came up to Zhang Anshi, and smiled at Zhang Anshi while passing Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi smiled back.

He found that Xu Huizu looked at him with a doting expression, which made him... a little creepy.

All the ministers retreated.

Only then did Zhu Di give Zhang Anshi a hard look: "Speak, tell me, tell me the truth, and I will spare you the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty...it's a long story, I think...it's better for Duke Jin to talk about it."

Jin Zhong is about to jump up, the meaning in this sentence... is clearly planting.

It seemed that he knew the inside story of all this, and why did he know the inside story, didn't he say that he instigated it all?

Zhu Di looked at Jin Zhong.

Jin Zhong had no choice but to say embarrassingly: "Your Majesty... I don't know much about some things, this matter... this matter... Master Yao, and..."

Zhu Di couldn't help being furious and said: "Okay, so many of you are all working together to lie to me!"

Jin Zhong: "..."

Zhang Anshi immediately said: "Your Majesty, in fact, this has nothing to do with Duke Jin and the others, it is actually the minister's idea."

At this time, Jin Zhong was not grateful to Zhang Anshi at all.

Because the inner and outer meaning of these words is, Your Majesty, don't embarrass Jin Zhong and the others. I, Zhang Anshi, took over this matter. If you are guilty, it will be all on me, Zhang Anshi.

Different from the cunning and cunning of Jin Zhong and others, Zhang Anshi's honesty and honesty are vividly displayed on Zhang Anshi's simple face.

However, at this time, no matter how Jin Zhong explained, or even how he argued, it was meaningless.

It will only create an impression on Zhu Di... At least Zhang Anshi knows that he is wrong, Jin Zhong, you dare to deny it in front of me.

Jin Zhong had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, this matter is too difficult to explain in one word. I think it's better for Marquis Annan to explain the cause and effect."

Zhu Di sighed, and then said angrily: "Say, hurry up, don't say any more, I have something to say first, I have prepared the coffin, if you talk about him here, I will press you into the coffin together. "

Zhang Anshi said: "The thing... is that I started to thoroughly investigate Ji Gang, but I soon discovered that Ji Gang is much stronger than I imagined. Extremely cunning, he began to instigate people to attack Uiqianhusuo, and Uchisenhusuo... killed two people and injured dozens of people. Only then did I realize that...the big thing is not good."

"However, after all, Ji Gang is the commander of Jinyiwei. If there is no real evidence, how can he be convicted? I also noticed that Ji Gang's minions are dead set on him. I thought, Ji Gang is so dangerous, how could someone convict him?" Your own wealth and life are tied to him?"

"So I was very helpless. After all, I was still young, so I went to visit Duke Jin. After discussing with Duke Jin, I realized that Ji Gang must have grasped the handle of these minions, so that these people, even though they knew His Majesty intended to investigate Ji Gang, but for the sake of his own wealth and life, he is still willing to go to hell with Ji Gang."

"The scary thing is that their methods are becoming more and more ruthless, and more and more crazy! So in the end, I had to take the risk. If I didn't do this risky move, these minions would continue to go crazy. I can't imagine that they will do it." What happened."

Seeing that Zhu Di was deep in thought, Zhang Anshi continued after carefully observing his words and expressions, and then continued: "Your Majesty also knows what happened after that. The minister cheated to death in Zhenjiang, which messed up their position instead. There are two advantages in this. Those minions realized that the matter had reached the point of no return. Even if their tricks were not exposed, and the minister suddenly died for no apparent reason, they could hardly absolve themselves of the blame. The tricks were exposed and they would die. Could it be that they followed Ji Gang and killed him? A Marquis, do you still want to live?"

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Is this called putting it to death and rebirth?"

Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise."

"The second..." Zhang Anshi continued: "This is the real purpose of the minister."

"The real purpose?" Zhu Di frowned, staring at Zhang Anshi and said, "What purpose?"

Zhang Anshidao: "The first thing is to make the people in Jinyiwei jump back, make them stand up obediently, and turn against Ji Gang, and Jinyiwei's internal division is torn apart. Then the second is to completely interrupt Ji Gang's rhythm."

After a pause, Zhang Anshi continued: "Has your Majesty ever thought that Ji Gang has committed such a heinous crime? Does he not know that sooner or later, he will die without a place to bury him? This person is insidious and cunning, and has been in charge of Jinyiwei for many years , I don’t know how many people’s secrets I hold, let alone how many people I have secretly manipulated, and I don’t know how many connections there are.”

"When His Majesty ordered his ministers to investigate Ji Gang, he should have had a premonition that something would happen sooner or later. As a man, he will definitely leave a way out for himself. So... the minister predicts that he has already begun to secretly communicate with others. Collusion, ready to abscond."

Zhu Di nodded when he heard this.

If others offended the emperor, they might be unable to escape, but Ji Gang was no ordinary person.

I saw Zhang Anshi continue: "He has such a deep layout in Jinyiwei, and his retreat should have been laid out long ago. When he senses danger, he will naturally start his plan slowly. But if the minister slowly Check him out, and when he completes the final layout step by step, maybe... In the end, this person has already escaped, and he still has not lost his wealth for the rest of his life."

"And whoever is colluding with him outside will also lose clues. This person is too meticulous in his actions. A meticulous person will definitely do everything in a seamless manner."

"Then the benefits of the minister's feigned death appeared. As soon as the minister feigned death, he immediately realized that time was running out, because... no matter whether he has any evidence of guilt, His Majesty will definitely deal with him in the future. Your Majesty... At this time, he is in a hurry, so his previous layout must also become hasty, and once in a hurry, there will be mistakes, and if there are mistakes, his feet will be exposed. In fact... During the process of feigning death, the minister, People have already been watching everything related to him day and night, just waiting for him to show his feet."

Zhu Di suddenly realized, and couldn't help saying: "Why, did you show your horse's feet?"

Zhang Anshi took a deep look at Zhu Di, and said: "There are already clues, because it was too hasty, so we found a person. There are also people who have secretly colluded with him, and even the wealth he has been greedy for ink over the years may be exposed."

After hearing this, Zhu Di was very excited.

It turned out that cutting off a Ji Gang actually involved so many things.

From this point of view... this fake death... is simply killing two birds with one stone.

If Zhang Anshi didn't die, not to mention that he might not be able to catch Ji Gang, maybe this guy could really escape unscathed, and all the clues might be cut off.

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi seriously, and said sincerely: "You kid, you should make a quick decision."

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "I learned this from His Majesty."

Seeing that Zhu Di was happy, Zhang Anshi said without hesitation: "At that time, I also hesitated, but when I thought that Your Majesty loved me so much, I had nothing but a loyal heart, and I could learn from the sun and the moon, so I decided to risk this day. The big risk is to find out everything about Ji Gang for His Majesty, so as to live up to the emperor's grace."

Jin Zhong: "..."

Didn't you just say that you and the old man are in the same group?
Why now, it seems that it has nothing to do with the old man again?

Jin Zhong coughed desperately beside him.

Zhang Anshi then said again: "Of course, Duke Jin... contributed a lot."

Zhu Di nodded, and said: "The Jinqing family has always been loyal. It's just...you have this idea, but why, unlike my report, I have been disturbed for the past two days."

Zhang Anshi said: "It's not that the minister deceived the emperor, and the minister is cowardly. How dare he do such a thing? It's just that Jin Gong hinted at the minister, saying that Ji Gang is very cunning and cautious in his actions, especially at this time. When he is most sensitive, if he smells something wrong, all his previous efforts may be for naught. Your Majesty is not good at using schemes and tricks, and is the most upright person. Once he knows this in advance, then Ji Gang may be able to see through the schemes of his ministers by observing his words and expressions, so Jin Gong hinted that since he is determined to serve His Majesty and eliminate harm for His Majesty, he must let it go. Your Majesty is a sage, and he knows that he will not be suspicious of someone who is employed, and that he will not accept the order of an outsider. With His Majesty's benevolence, I will never care about this matter, so...the minister gritted his teeth and had no choice but to do it."

Zhu Di looked at Jin Zhong.

Jin Zhong grinned happily, and said: "Yes, I didn't say it explicitly, but I hinted at such a thing."

Zhu Di couldn't help saying with emotion: "Hey...you guys..."

However, Zhu Di couldn't help cursing again: "Zhang Anshi is young, so he can be said to be ignorant. Your Jinqing family is not young, and you still have no rules. Zhang Qing's family, don't always let them fool you in the future. They are just using you. serve as hatchet man."

Jin Zhong: "..."

Zhang Anshi said: "If you can repay the emperor's kindness, not to mention being a spearman, you will be smashed to pieces, and I will be willing to do so."

Jin Zhong said angrily, "Marquis Annan...no, Duke Wu Ning's words are really admirable."

"What Lord Wu Ning?" Zhang Anshi was a little confused.

He vaguely remembered that Daming did have a Duke Wu Ning.

But isn't that Xu Da?
If he gets married to the Xu family in the future, then why is Mr. Wu Ning his?

After hearing this, Zhu Di was speechless for a while.

Jin Zhong was happy, and looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile, and said, "Zhang Anshi, you don't know, you already have your posthumous title, which is Wuning, congratulations, congratulations. From then on, I, Ming, have another Wu Ning..."

Zhang Anshi: "..."

…………

So tired, everyone went to play during the holidays, only the tiger wrote from morning to night.
