my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 216
It's fine if Jin Zhong doesn't mention it.

At this mention, even Zhu Di was a little confused.

It is impossible for a living person to have a posthumous title.

Isn't this a joke?
As for accompanying sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple, it is reasonable to say that it was finalized during his lifetime.

So what about chasing seals?
Zhu Di couldn't help but have a big headache.

Then he said to Jin Zhong angrily: "Look at the good things you have done?"

Jin Zhong: "..."

Then, Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Is there any precedent for this matter in the previous dynasty?"

Jin Zhong said honestly: "Your Majesty, there are precedents...not that there are no such cases. For example, during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, General Li Ling was ordered to attack the Xiongnu, and the entire army was wiped out and captured. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who was far away in Chang'an thought that Li Ling had died in battle, so he After the posthumous seal, it was not long before I found out that Li Ling was still alive, so I was furious and killed his whole family."

Zhang Anshi: "..."

Zhu Di: "..."

This is obviously not a good example. Fortunately, Jin Zhong quickly said: "Of course, this matter is different from the matter of Lord Wu Ning. Credit. This matter... is indeed very difficult, and a court meeting should be held to discuss this matter."

Zhu Di was also helpless about this matter, and said: "I don't understand the etiquette, so you can figure it out."

Jin Zhongdao: "The minister is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and I don't know much about it."

He didn't want to take this muddy water.

Zhu Di immediately looked at Zhang Anshi: "What is the clue you mentioned?"

Zhang Anshidao: "These days, Ji Gang has been actively contacting people and transferring his gold and silver in large quantities. Your Majesty, this person has smuggled millions of catties of salt and plundered countless wealthy households. Over the years, his evil deeds can be described as countless. As far as I know, besides Jin Yiwei, he also raised a lot of dark guards."

After Zhu Di heard this, he was a little surprised: "Dark guard?"

Historically, Ji Gang took advantage of the convenience of the commander of Jinyiwei to house a large number of desperadoes.

It's ridiculous to say that, as a commander, he bullies honest people, but he lavishly shields the most vicious people.

And the reason why these desperadoes were sheltered was because they could be pardoned with a wave of his hand, and he was very grateful to him.

What's more, most of these people have committed capital crimes, and if they don't obey Ji Gang's order, they will die.

Zhu Di's face became even more angry.

Zhang Anshi went on to say: "These people are not small in scale, spread across many places, and have different identities. Some are stationed in the capital, and some...are stationed in Beiping. Many of his gold and silver are transferred through these people... ...Of course, he wants the golden cicada to escape, and it is not enough to rely on these people, but a few days ago, his actions were kept secret, only these two days, he realized that the minister is dead, and his time is numbered , so I started to mess up my hands and feet, and acted hastily, which made the minister aware of a clue."

"What clue?"

Zhang Anshi said: "There is a scribe... who has been working on this matter for him. Later, the people under my minister discovered the abnormality of the scribe, and checked his details, only to find that the scribe had no background."

"No details?" Zhu Di frowned.

Zhang Anshidao: "How this person entered Jinyiwei is not even recorded in the experience department, as if he popped out of nowhere. On weekdays, he is in charge of some official documents of Beizhen Fusi, so... the minister ordered someone to secretly Keep an eye on him, but this person is very vigilant, I don't dare to be watched too closely."

Zhu Di asked, "Why didn't you take him down immediately?"

Zhang Anshi said: "The person he contacted... makes me feel very strange, there are too many doubts, besides, I am afraid that if I take him by hand, I will scare the snake, and those desperadoes who are responsible for transshipment of goods may abscond immediately. So I ordered Chen Li to arrange and continue to investigate one or two."

"Ji Gang has been taken down." Zhu Di said thoughtfully: "Will these people not fall apart?"

"As long as the large amount of money and food and Ji's family are still there, these people... lose Ji Gang's protection, and they will definitely put their hopes on the person who approached them. Since Ji Gang puts all hopes of survival on that person, How could these desperadoes give up? Without Ji Gang, they are nothing, and once the old case is uncovered, they will die without a place to die."

"Not to mention, these years, relying on Ji Gang's power, they have become used to arrogance, killing people, stealing goods, and doing everything. Such a person...how can they easily give up everything in front of them? So I concluded that this person who colluded with and approached Ji Gang... That's the crux of the matter, it doesn't matter whether Ji Gang is dead or not."

With a gloomy face, Zhu Di said angrily, "I never imagined that Ji Gang would do so many things behind my back."

Zhu Di's anger is justified.

Ji Gang is his eyes and ears, Zhu Di either cares about the affairs of the army, or is all his energy wasted by the affairs of the state capitals in the world, originally thought that these eyes and ears belonged to him, even if he was in the palace, he still You can monitor people in the world through Ji Gang.

But how did he know that Ji Gang directly used these eyes and ears to do his own business, even various things, which were shocking.

Zhang Anshi said again at this time: "Your Majesty, so I think that Jin Yiwei... needs to be changed."

"Change?" Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi: "I plan to order Chiyou to be the commander of the Jinyiwei, how about it?"

Zhu Di's thinking is this, since Ji Gang is unreliable, let the more reliable Zhang Anshi come.In this case, the problem may be solved.

To Zhu Di's surprise, Zhang Anshi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Your Majesty, I think... this is very wrong."

So Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi with strange eyes.

Zhang Anshidao: "Jin Yiwei is dead. The people Ji Gang promoted at the beginning were all opportunistic and opportunistic young people. What is the use of counting on these people...? The minister thinks that it should be demolished and rebuilt."

Zhang Anshi's words made Zhu Di's expression more serious, and he sat down and said, "How should I say it?"

Zhang Anshi was already prepared, and said: "Jinyiwei's army, all are on standby, let Neiqianhu go to him for a big trial, if it involves corruption and perverting the law, take what should be taken, Xiaowei and Tiqi, for the time being Stay, still give them a salary, and let them stay. After that, a group of people will be recruited among the school lieutenants, and the Neiqianhu Institute will conduct training, and then fill the vacancy of the former Nanbei Town Fusi. After those big trials, The military officials who have no problems can not only stay in the post, but also let them be promoted by one level."

Zhang Anshi paused, and then said: "Not only that, I think it's inappropriate to rely solely on Jinyiwei. There should also be a yamen in the palace to control and supervise Jinyiwei, in order to prevent people like Ji Gang from appearing."

After hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help looking at Yi Shiha.

Yi Shiha trembled in his heart, he actually coveted Ji Gang's power originally.Therefore, many eunuchs in the palace were secretly speaking ill of Ji Gang.

The purpose is to let the eunuchs also be placed in Jinyiwei. For this reason, Yi Shiha and Ji Gang are in the same situation.

But since Zhang Anshi came out, Yi Shiha felt that this matter was unlikely. Once Zhang Anshi took control of the Jinyiwei, and then placed eunuchs into the Jinyiwei, it would be tantamount to a direct conflict with Zhang Anshi.

Yishiha is still counting on his future years to be peaceful!

Fighting for power with the current prince's wife and brother, and the emperor's grandson's uncle, isn't this increasing the risk factor for yourself?
Originally, this heart was already cold, but who would have expected that Zhang Anshi would bring it up by himself.

Zhu Di stared at Zhang Anshi and said, "Go ahead."

Zhang Anshi then said: "Above the Ministry of Criminal Justice, isn't there a Dali Temple? If the Jinyiwei is the Ministry of Criminal Justice, then it must be on top of it. There is a Dali Temple watching over it and responsible for reviewing Qin cases! The reason why Ji Gang can be domineering is because he said One is one, and two is two, no one can control it. What's more, Jin Yiwei is the emperor's pro-army, and their every move is sacred, and in the eyes of the subjects, they have the acquiescence of the imperial power."

After a pause, Zhang Anshi continued: "That's why I thought that there would be an internal office in the palace, and some capable Jinyi school captains would be dispatched for its control. In addition, the Nanzhen Fusi...separated from it."

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi, puzzled and said, "Strip it off?"

Zhang Anshidao: "Jinyiwei has the North and South Town Fusi, the North Town Fusi is in charge of Tiqi affairs, and the Nanzhen Fusi is in charge of family law and prison. , then the targets of punishment by the family law will be those who refuse to be loyal to the commander. Instead of this, it is better to set up a yamen for the governor of Nanzhen."

Zhu Di thought for a while, raised his eyebrows and said, "So, wouldn't it coincide with the inner office of the palace?"

Zhang Anshi shook his head and said: "It doesn't overlap. The internal office is responsible for carrying out His Majesty's will, preventing Ji Gang from falsely preaching the imperial edict, and at the same time responsible for delivering news. The Nanzhen Fusi is in charge of supervising the school captains and Tiqi, or Qianhu, The crimes committed by Baihu and others. If there are commanders, co-prefects, qian affairs, eunuchs, experience, etc. involved in crimes, the Nanzhen Fusi can also be responsible for collecting evidence and report them all."

After Zhu Di heard this, he obviously understood what Zhang Anshi meant. Jin Yiwei's power was divided into three parts, one in the palace, and another part was given to Nanzhen Fusi to form a check and balance situation.

In fact... Zhu Di started doing this kind of thing after Ji Gang's rebellion happened in history.He set up the East Factory on top of Jinyiwei, and after that, he seemed to feel that the East Factory was not safe, so he added a West Factory.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, an expert factory was added on top of the East Factory and the West Factory.

The root cause, in fact, is that Jin Yiwei has too much power.

Zhang Anshi just advanced these things.

Zhu Di said, "Is this an idea you've thought up a long time ago?"

Zhang Anshi smiled embarrassingly, and said: "In these days, the more I check this document, the more shocking I feel. This person is so bold and reckless, because Jin Yiwei has great power. So I am thinking, who will sit on it?" This Ji Gang's position, after a long time, I'm afraid it will be rampant. If this problem is not solved fundamentally, even if there is no Ji Gang, I'm afraid there will be people like Jin Gang."

Jin Zhong: "..."

However, Jin Zhong is obviously happy to see the success of this. He has long disliked Ji Gang, but now that he thinks about it, Ji Gang was just Zhu Di's personal soldier. Became such a person who both people and gods are angry with.

Thinking about it carefully, isn't it because of what Zhang Anshi said?
Zhu Di obviously approved of Zhang Anshi's point of view, and even said with satisfaction: "What Zhang Qing said really wins my heart."

Zhang Anshidao: "However, I think that although the Nanzhen Fusi is separated, if it is only responsible for supervision, I am afraid that it may not be able to control the Beizhen Fusi."

Zhu Di said, "What's your idea?"

"How about letting Nanzhen Fusi take charge of the Jinyiwei official school?"

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi in surprise.

Zhang Anshidao: "Most of the guards recruited by Jin Yiwei are either honored ministers or ordinary idlers. The pro-army is so majestic, so some people try their best to drill into the camp and enter the pro-army, so that they can show off their might."

Zhang Anshi paused, and then said: "There has never been any standard for recruiting school lieutenants, which has given many thousands of households, hundreds of households, and even command envoys, colleagues, and officials room to operate. They sent a large number of family members You and your relatives are stuffed into the guards, so that these people not only lack in ability, but they also collude with each other."

"The situation of Jinyiwei today is all due to the confusion of personnel and affairs, so...the reason for setting up an official school is to eliminate such disadvantages. If Jinyiwei wants to recruit people, the Nanzhen Fusi will be responsible for the recruitment. Test their basic literacy and physical strength, and only after they pass the test can they enter school, and after one year of study, they will be assigned by the Fusi of Nanzhen to various households for appointment."

Hearing this, Zhu Di regained his energy. It was indeed time-consuming and labor-intensive to do so, but Zhu Di did not know that once this happened, it would mean that it would be difficult for those who were admitted to Jinyiwei by their own ability to truly become the domestic slaves of a certain military officer. .

He pondered and said: "How about the original captain?"

"It's very simple." Zhang Anshi said: "Set an iron law. All captains, who want to be promoted, will not be promoted unless they have made great achievements. If they do not go through the official school, they will hardly be promoted. Those who are willing to receive a salary and stay in the army are naturally up to them. Of course, they can also apply for the official school, and because they are from Weili, they can relax their standards appropriately, which is considered as His Majesty's favor for them. Enrong."

Zhu Di nodded, and said again: "What did you learn in the official school?"

Zhang Anshidao: "Literacy, arithmetic, fighting, riding, firearms, detectives, etc."

Zhu Di looked at Jin Zhong: "What do Jin Qing's family think?"

"If this is the case, then those who enter the army will be the sons of real good families. I think this strategy is very appropriate."

Zhang Anshidao: "Furthermore, after all the official schools, Lieutenant Xiang, who joined the pro-military army, should be listed as a pro-military member. All those who are listed as a pro-military register, the Beizhen Fusi cannot arbitrarily abolish them, but if they want to abolish, they need to go through the internal affairs. The Yamen and Nanzhen Fusi will jointly verify it, and then report it to His Majesty, and His Majesty will make a decision before it can be approved."

"This can greatly protect their status. Even if they are in the Weizhong and are not tolerated by the superiors, they can still serve in the Weizhong. If you want to do illegal things, I am afraid that the captains who are listed as pro-military may not be willing to take risks with them, and would rather be tolerated by their superiors, otherwise, the benefits will not be obtained, and they may bring hidden dangers to themselves.”

Zhu Di gathered himself together and said, "Since that's the case, let's do it like this. It's just that this official school will cost a lot."

"This expense is one of the reasons, and the second is that I think that the Jin Yiwei's army should also increase their salaries, at least to make their lives more decent."

Zhu Di smiled, and said generously, "This is what money comes from inside. I don't lack this little money. This Nanzhen Fusi..."

Zhu Di paused, and then said: "Let's leave it to you to deal with it. I order you to be the commander of Jinyiwei, to control the Fusi of Nanzhen, and Chen Li from the Neiqianhusuo... let him be the commander and envoy. , to assist the Nanzhen Fusi. The Nanzhen Fusi has an imperial prison, an official school, and an internal thousand households. To take over, but now that I think about it, I need to think about it. The inner office..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Di looked at Yi Shiha and said, "If you choose a candidate, this office will be called..."

Zhang Anshi boldly interjected: "Why don't we call it Dongji Incident Factory?"

Zhu Di smiled, looked at Yi Shiha: "Did you hear that?"

Yishiha's heart has already blossomed with joy.

This is simply the result that everyone is satisfied with.

Jin Zhong fulfilled his wish and restrained Beizhen Fusi.

Don't look at Zhang Anshi only got a Nanzhen Fusi, but in fact... Zhang Anshi didn't bother to jump into such dirty work as Jinyiwei.But Nanzhen Fusi is obviously different. Relying on the official school, Jinyiwei can take away part of the personnel rights, Neiqianhusuo has the supervision right, and the imperial prison has the right to review the prison.

It is equal to the authority of the Jinyiwei, divided into two, Zhang Anshi does not touch the dirty work, but the benefits are not lost at all.

As for Tongzhi, he can be regarded as Jin Yiwei's number two figure.Of course, Jin Yiwei has two accomplices, both of whom are assistant officers of the commander, but the weight of Zhang Anshi, the accomplice, is not comparable to that of others. In addition, there is another Chen Li as his assistant. A thousand households.

It is simply unreasonable for ordinary people not to invite people to dinner when they encounter such a good thing.

As for Yishiha, the eunuchs in the palace also got a share of the pie.

Of course, the reason why Zhang Anshi is willing to share it is because this Jinyiwei is not his family anyway, and I, Zhang Anshi, don't feel sorry for everyone eating together.

What's more, it's only a matter of time before eunuchs participate in the pro-military. Even if Zhang Anshi doesn't propose it today, Dongchang will definitely appear in ten or twenty years.

At this time, Zhang Anshi only accelerated the historical process, and at the same time sold a favor to Yi Shiha. In addition... In fact, he also borrowed Nanzhen Fusi to distribute a lot of power in Dongchang.

Kill three birds with one stone, perfect!

Of course Zhu Di was more satisfied. Zhang Anshi was very thoughtful, and according to this idea, even if a new Jinyiwei commander was appointed, he could use it with confidence as long as he was allowed to carry out the palace's will.

So Zhu Di said in a good mood: "Those three candidates from thousands of households, you report to me, and I will give you an order, don't be afraid of spending money on the official school, and draft a charter for the entrance examination and send it to me. "

He asked.

Zhang Anshi quickly agreed, seeing that it was getting late, he was worried about his brother-in-law the prince, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I... have to leave, I have to go and see His Royal Highness and sister."

Zhu Di waved his hands and said, "Go, go, you all should leave."

Zhang Anshi and Jin Zhong left the palace gate together.

But after walking out, Jin Zhong kept sighing.

Jin Zhong's sigh was so obvious that Zhang Anshi was embarrassed to pretend he didn't know, and said, "Why is Duke Jin sighing?"

Jin Zhong glared at him sharply, and said angrily, "Are you willing to ask this old man?"

Zhang Anshi laughed dryly: "This... this..."

Jin Zhong snorted coldly: "Why did you drag the old man into the water?"

Zhang Anshi said seriously: "This is because..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Anshi scratched his head, and then continued: "It's not because Mr. Jin is an upright person, he has always been indifferent to things, even if someone offends you, Mr. Jin will not retaliate privately. I admire Mr. Jin in my heart... and It was urgent, so I had to... had to..."

Jin Zhong: "..."

you are more honest...

This is Zhang Anshi's answer.

This made Jin Zhong doubt his life. Is Zhang Anshi praising him or scolding him?

"Heh..." Jin Zhong sneered, "You have a good relationship with that bald donkey, but you came to harm me."

Zhang Anshi said: "Jin Gong, I have been wronged. I have a clean relationship with Master Yao. In my mind, Jin Gong is the most worthy person to be friends with. Besides, Master Yao will take revenge. How dare I provoke him? He, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well at night!"

Jin Zhong could only blow his beard and stare.

However, he was depressed for a while, and then he pondered: "You are not bad, you take credit without being arrogant, and you have a clear understanding of Jin Yiwei's matter...you did the right thing."

He paused, and then said: "Everyone is afraid of Ji Gang, but... everyone wants to be Ji Gang. And once you become a commander like Ji Gang, everyone may become Ji Gang in the end. Only you, it's still okay It is not difficult to refuse Ji Gang's temptation, but it is difficult. Take this opportunity to propose a whole set of regulations. You boy... a child can be taught. "

Although he was resentful in his heart, Zhang Anshi was really right. Jin Zhong was right about things and wrong about others. Although he held a grudge, he had to say that he was full of praise for Zhang Anshi when it came to Jin Yiwei.

Zhang Anshidao: "I am different from Ji Gang. What Ji Gang seeks is power and position, but I am a relative of the country, and what I seek is long-term peace and stability, and a long life with the country. Therefore, I am willing to do everything that is good for the world. do it."

"With this insight, it's already very rare." Jin Zhong kept nodding his head, and said with great satisfaction: "There are many people in the world, just like you, they are also relatives of the emperor? But they are short-sighted, and they are still no different from Ji Gang. You kid, you don't look like you should be at this age, okay, let's just leave now..."

Just as he was talking, he saw a eunuch rushing towards the hall where Zhu Di was in a panic.

A while later, Zhang Anshi arrived at the Jinshui Bridge, and saw Zhu Di hurriedly leading the people, and the chariot roaring behind Zhu Di.

Zhang Anshi turned his head and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty..."

Zhu Di grabbed Zhang Anshi's wrist, and said with a serious face, "The crown prince is no longer possible."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhang Anshi suddenly thought as if his soul was flying away.

Zhu Di didn't care about Zhang Anshi's reaction at this moment, turned his head angrily and said to the eunuch behind him: "Don't bring this chariot, fetch the horse, and fetch the horse for me right away."

After all, regardless of the people behind him, he anxiously brought Zhang Anshi to the Meridian Gate.

Finally, a eunuch hastily prepared a few horses.

Zhu Di didn't say anything, and turned over with a gloomy face.

Then, he led Zhang Anshi and galloped towards the East Palace.

As soon as he entered the East Palace, he saw that the left and right Chunfang was very cold. Obviously, the assistant officials of the East Palace had gone to the Inner Palace one after another.

Sure enough, when he entered the inner palace, Zhu Di saw Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui talking to someone in a low voice outside the bedroom.

As soon as Zhu Gaosui saw Zhu Di coming, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Father..."

Zhu Di said angrily, "Where is the prince?"

Zhu Gaosui immediately cried: "Brother Huang...Brother Huang vomited blood, I'm afraid it won't work. Fortunately, my minister... invited Zhou Shenxian... so I barely breathed a sigh of relief."

When Zhang Anshi vomited blood, his mind suddenly buzzed.

If he vomited a bucket of blood, wouldn't he die early?

Zhu Di shivered, and he looked at Zhu Gaosui in disbelief.

Zhu Gaosui howled and said: "Father, father, go and see the emperor, brother, he...he..."

As he spoke, tears fell like rain, and he beat his chest and fell to his feet.

Zhu Di didn't say anything more, and went straight into the hall.

In this hall, I saw Zhu Gaochi lying on the bed, and beside the bed was an old man in common clothes, who had prepared a bowl of food and was about to feed it to Zhu Gaochi.

The Crown Princess Zhang was on the side, already crying.

Zhu Zhanji knelt and sat in a corner. At this time, no one paid attention to him, but he was too dull to say a word, and his eyes lost the previous look.

Seeing this, Zhang Anshi was the most excited, first he rushed forward, pushed the old man away, and shouted: "What is this thing?"

Surprised, the old man staggered, and a bowl of talisman water splashed out.

Seeing Zhang Anshi coming, from the couch, one hand softly grasped Zhang Anshi's wrist: "Anshi, you are still alive... cough cough... cough cough... I just heard that you are fine... cough cough..."

Zhang Anshi lowered his head, and saw Zhu Gaochi with a pale face.

At this time, Zhang Anshi shuddered, he gritted his teeth, and quickly held Zhu Gaochi with his backhand.

Zhu Di approached the couch step by step. He looked at Zhu Gaochi on the couch in disbelief, took a deep breath, and was speechless for a moment.

"I have seen His Majesty..."

Everyone around fell to the ground and kowtowed.

Out of fear of Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi also wanted to hold on.

It's a pity...he seemed to have used a lot of strength, but his body still remained motionless.

Zhu Di turned his head, looked coldly at the imperial doctor in the palace, and said in a deep voice, "Why did you become like this?"

It was Imperial Physician Xu who came, and Imperial Physician Xu hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, what the crown prince is suffering from is an emergency. I wait... It's hard to tell for a while, but it's just a doctor invited by His Royal Highness King Zhao, but he said there is a cure..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on the skinny old man pushed away by Zhang Anshi again.
