my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 245
Zhu Gaosui sat down, but he looked good.

After all, it was just a minor operation. At first, I always felt that after my belly was cut open, my body became less complete.

But now, it is very different.

The pain in the abdomen disappeared without a trace, just like being born again.

Therefore, his spirit is extraordinarily good. Only those who have really experienced illness will cherish a healthy life.

At this time, Zhu Di said: "King Zhao has just recovered from a serious illness, and he came to see me, what is the matter?"

Zhu Di's expression looked a little cold.

He no longer wanted to give his sons too much hope.

If you give him a smiling face, he will immediately think of my father's love for me, then think of being a prince, and even think of being an emperor in the future, and even think about where his mausoleum is and what his posthumous name is.

At this time, Xie Jin looked at Zhu Gaosui with a smile, and he didn't know whether Zhu Gaosui had read those books of his, maybe after reading them, he would inevitably have a lot of experience and insights.

If you want to fight for the big position, you need patience and determination. Take it slowly, Zhao Wang is young and has a great opportunity.

Zhu Gaosui raised his head and glanced at Xie Jin, his eyes were full of kindness.

Xie Jin also smiled back, and in order to give Zhu Gaosui enough encouragement, he even showed a distinctive intimacy.

Zhu Gaosui said: "Father, my son has been ill in the mansion for a long time, thinking of staying in the capital for too long, so I hope to ask my father to allow my son to go back to the feudal town."

After hearing this, Zhu Di was not surprised at all.

But as soon as this remark came out, it attracted the attention of Xie Jin, Yang Rong, Hu Guang, Jian Yi, Jin Zhong, Xia Yuanji and others.

Everyone looked at Zhu Gaosui in surprise, speechless for a moment.

Xie Jin frowned unconsciously, but soon, he suddenly thought, maybe this is just some strategy of His Royal Highness Zhao Wang, the so-called retreat to advance...

He has just recovered from a serious illness, His Majesty will definitely keep him, and he can go down the slope...

Obviously, this was going to disappoint Xie Jin, and Zhu Di didn't hold back: "Yes, you have stayed in Nanjing for too long, and I still have a lot to borrow from you. This time, you plan to return to your feudal kingdom Zhangde Are you going to the government?"

Zhangde Mansion was Zhu Gaosui's fiefdom, and Zhu Di didn't even intend to let him return to Beiping.

Xie Jin pondered the conversation between the father and son in his heart, and the more he thought about it... the more he felt something was wrong.

But I heard Zhu Gaosui answer: "Second brother has towned Annan, and Uncle Ning has towned Lu Song. I have thought about it again and again. I would like to follow the example of Uncle Ning and the second brother. Like them, I will go out of town overseas. My minister has learned something about it. Regarding the Western affairs, I know that there is a place called Java, where there are dense mountains and forests, but it is said that there are also a lot of survivors of our Han Dynasty, and the sons and ministers implore the emperor to lead the guards and family members out of the country of Java."

All the ministers looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you,

Zhu Di smiled and looked up at Zhang Anshi: "How about Java?"

Zhang Anshi then said: "Good place, Your Majesty, this place is rich in products and fertile land. The local natives are mostly tribal and uncivilized, and there are many survivors of my Ming Dynasty who are familiar with the local conditions. What's more, His Royal Highness Zhao , this Java is also ZHAO, this stroke can not write two characters ZHAO, it is simply a match made in heaven.”

After a pause, Zhang Anshi continued: "Not only that, this place is not too far from my Ming Dynasty, it is only ten thousand miles from Nanjing City to Java, and there is no big wind and waves in the waters along the way, so the fleet can go all the way south along the road Going west, crossing a strait, you can reach it, and there will be no major risks on the way."

"His Royal Highness Zhao has courage, and the guards of King Zhao are mostly elite. As long as they are equipped with enough luggage and firearms, they can form a corner with His Royal Highness Ning and Zhu Gaoxu from Annan. They can help each other and communicate with each other. It’s sure to be a big success.”

Everyone is still very familiar with Java.

There is a folk proverb: one kick will kick you to Java.

Zhang Anshi finally concluded: "His Royal Highness Zhao Wang has courage."

The country of Java is actually in what is now known as Borneo. It is the handover of Malay, Indonesia, and Brunei in later generations. It is all adjacent to the Java Sea. The entire sea area can actually be called Java.

Zhu Di nodded and said: "In that case, then I agree, King Zhao is my son. In addition to the three guards of King Zhao, I will give a guard to accompany him, and I will give food, ordnance, firearms, medicine...etc. Satisfy King Zhao's needs."

Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui said: "Thank you, my son."

He looked grateful.

Although Zhu Di was disappointed with this son, he was still a little bit reluctant after all, but he still hardened his heart.

When the son grows up, instead of staying in Daming, it is better to let him fly high.

Didn’t I also be thrown to Peiping by Emperor Taizu Gao at the beginning, and went deep into the desert to fight the Tatars?
If I can do it, so must King Zhao.

But Xie Jin, who was on the side, was completely dumbfounded.

How is this going?

He couldn't tell the difference for a while, and didn't dare to speak easily.

But when His Majesty actually finalized this matter directly, he was a little anxious.

Xie Jin reluctantly continued to maintain a smile on his face, and said, "Your Majesty, is it inappropriate for His Royal Highness King Zhao to become a vassal after recovering from a serious illness?"

Zhu Di raised his head, looked at Xie Jin with a smile and said, "Then what do you think, Yi Xieqing?"

"This..." Xie Jin said, "It's better to get sick first."

Zhu Di said with emotion: "Xie Qing is really meticulous. Zhao Wang, what do you think?"

Zhu Gaosui said: "Mr. Xie loves my son, but my son thinks that it is better to behave as soon as possible. My son's illness has almost recovered. Now, I only hope to go to Java as soon as possible, out of the waterway here, and be my father's emperor." Share your worries."

Xie Jin: "..."

Zhu Gaosui continued: "It's just that I have always been reckless. I am worried that once I go to Java and there is no one to restrain me, I will inevitably get carried away. I know that I have a bit of courage, but I will make suggestions in the future and educate the natives. , but it is better to have someone’s full support.”

Zhu Di said: "Really? I can ask the minister to accompany you out of town."

This was discussed a long time ago, so the father and son answered each other in a tacit understanding.

Zhu Gaosui said: "It's just... my son is afraid that the minister will not agree."

Zhu Di said, "Then what's your plan?"

"My minister has some friends in the court. They have a very close relationship with my minister. It can be said that they have a fateful friendship. If they are invited to go, it happens to be the meaning of my minister's friends. It also prevents other people from being called. Ken, my son is also not at ease."

Zhu Di smiled and said: "It's easy to handle, and I'm sure about it, which friends you want to bring, but it's up to you."

"My son...here is a directory." As he spoke, Zhu Gaosui took out a notebook from his sleeve.

Good guy... Zhang Anshi stared straight at the notebook Zhu Gaosui took out.

King Zhao has a lot of friends!

Zhu Gaosui said: "The personnel to be listed are all close friends with the ministers. Although they are not siblings of the same mother, they are also brothers of the opposite sex. If they accompany them, they will definitely help the ministers."

Hey... At this time, Xie Jin felt extremely regretful.

He didn't expect that Zhao Wang was so hopeless, a serious illness wiped out his ambition completely.

Wrong person!
I saw Zhu Di took the list and looked down carefully. Here, there are 63 ministers involved, all of whom have their official positions and brief introductions. It can be seen that Zhao Wang did this very meticulously, and even recorded the biographies of the characters. Some.

Eighty percent... Princess Zhao...remembered it.

Zhu Di nodded secretly, this Princess Zhao is no ordinary woman.

Just seeing the first name, Zhu Di looked up at Xie Jin strangely.

Xie Jin was confused by Zhu Di.

Zhu Di evoked a smile, and said to Xie Jin and others: "This time King Zhao... is going to Java, and I will send my subordinates to accompany him, which involves many ministers. I am thinking, there is nothing wrong with this, serving me What's the difference between it and the son who serves me? Besides, there are quite a few people inside who are close friends with King Zhao, and since they are so affectionate, they are willing to accompany them if they want to come, what do you think?"

He asked Jian Yi first.

When Jian Yi heard that the King of Zhao was going to surrender, how could he refuse to agree?
He is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, so he said: "Your Majesty, King Zhao's request to seal the vassal overseas is to share the worries of His Majesty. This is filial piety. And the company of His Majesty's quasi-ministers is the love of a father for his son. This is the love of the calf. Loyalty and filial piety Jieyi, as it should be.”

The next one, Zhu Di looked at Yang Rong: "What's the plan of Yang Qing's family?"

Yang Rong thought it over and said: "What Mr. Jian said is not unreasonable. But I am worried... this Java is too far away, so far away from home, in this life, if I want to come back again, it will be very difficult, I am afraid... it will hinder human relations. Feelings."

Yang Rong is still kind, and he also knows that many people cling to King Zhao, but they just want to make a big difference with a small one. If they really go to Java, it will be called "every day should not be done", and the land will not work.

Zhu Di nodded and said: "Yang Qing is thoughtful. It's really against human relations that the whole family can't be reunited, but it doesn't matter. The whole family can go together."

Yang Rong: "..."

At this time, Zhu Di looked at Xie Jin: "What does Xie Qing think?"

In fact, Xie Jin already knew what Zhu Di meant. Nine out of ten, this is something that His Majesty and King Zhao have discussed a long time ago, and it cannot be changed at all.

Instead of singing a different tune like Yang Rong at this time, it is better to simply let nature take its course.

His mind is now on Zhang Anshi's minting of coins. Since the mud of Zhao Wang can't support the wall, it doesn't matter. If Zhang Anshi is brought down, everything else will be easy to talk about.

So he said with a sigh: "It is a national policy for the vassal king to go overseas. Zhao Wang has taken the initiative to invite Ying, which is really impressive. His Majesty's direct son, a noble man, and the vassal prince can still go, so... as a courtier Is it not right to act according to the order? The minister thinks that if a minister violates the holy will, isn't this the so-called: a minister who is not filial to the ruler and father is called chaos. The words of the sages, the minister deeply believes that However, most of the rebellious officials and thieves in the past dynasties started by violating the holy will."

What he said was high-sounding, and he quoted scriptures, Zhu Di nodded again and again: "Xie Qing is a loyal minister."

After finishing speaking, he closed the directory and said: "In this case, then prepare as soon as possible. If it is time to go, pack your bags early. Tomorrow, I will issue a decree to reward all the ministers who accompanied King Zhao. Xie Qing ..."

Xie Jin said: "The minister is here."

Zhu Di said: "You are an example, and I am very grateful. This trip to Java, the mountains are long and the rivers are far away, and I have borrowed from you, but... you have made up your mind, and King Zhao cannot do without you. I have thought about it again and again. , I am still determined to act for you, although it is difficult for Xie Qing to let go, but after all, Zhao Wang is more important. When you leave, remember to come to the palace early to see me, and I will see you farewell."

Xie Jin: "..."

Jian Jin stood motionless, his face stiff.

Zhu Di said with a half smile but not a smile: "Why, why is Mr. Xie silent?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Could it be that Mr. Xie is overjoyed?"

Xie Jin: "..."

Xie Jin was really dumbfounded.

He never imagined that he was included in this list.

In fact, this is also understandable.

In his opinion, he is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, no matter how good Zhao Wang is, it is impossible to add his name to it.

But he never expected, Zhao Wang... This is the lion's big mouth.

However, His Majesty actually gave permission.

Zhang Anshi said: "Jie Gong, Xie Gong..."

Zhang Anshi stepped forward and shook Xie Jin's arm.

Xie Jincai slowly came back to his senses, and looked at the monarchs and ministers in the palace in surprise.

Subconsciously... He rubbed his forehead: "Oh, oh... oh..."

Then, the body began to soften.

Finally, his eyelids rolled up, his body began to convulse, and he lay on the ground and twitched.

Zhu Di was dumbfounded.

Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui also looked astonished.

Jian Yi immediately said: "Please call the imperial doctor."

Yang Rong had a different meaning, but he was still kind in the end: "Marquis Annan is here, let's see what's going on."

Hu Guang was also a little anxious, and hurried forward and shouted: "Jie Gong... Xie Gong..."

Zhang Anshi rushed forward, felt his pulse, rolled Xie Jin's eyelids, and put his hands on his neck again.

Then he said: "It's weird, I'm not sick, it's normal."

Xie Jin's head was tilted to one side, but his body was still shaking.

Zhang Anshi smiled wryly: "Jie Gong...don't pretend, convulsions and convulsions are not like this, your trembling frequency is too low, you want to be like me..."

As he spoke, Zhang Anshi lifted up his skirt, exposing his legs in breeches, and began to shake violently.

"Look, this is it!"

Xie Jin's head was still on one side, and he continued to shake, and the frequency began to increase unconsciously.

Zhang Anshi raised his eyebrows and said: "That's not right, the eyes should be turned up, I checked your eyes, it's fine."

Xie Jin closed his eyes and continued to tremble.

Zhang Anshi said: "At this moment, you should be foaming, but what you spit is saliva..."

Xie Jin: "..."

Zhang Anshi said seriously: "Jiegong, please trust my medical skills."

In the end, Xie Jin stopped moving and lay on the ground, motionless.

After hearing Zhang Anshi's words, everyone lowered their heads speechlessly and looked at Xie Jin on the ground in embarrassment.

Obviously, what Xie Jin is pursuing at this time is that as long as I am not embarrassed, the embarrassing is someone else's strategy.

He appeared to be unconscious.

Zhang Anshi frowned and said: "Could it be that I made a wrong diagnosis? If so, Your Majesty, this may be epilepsy, which is no small matter, and it can only be cured if it has to be disembowelled... I implore Your Majesty's kind minister to start rescue immediately."

When these words were said, everyone looked at Zhang Anshi speechlessly.

In fact, everyone knows what's going on, but everyone is smart and pretends not to know.

But you, Zhang Anshi, lack great virtue.

After hearing this, Xie Jin, who was lying on the ground, finally opened his eyes.

He didn't say anything, but rolled over and stood up. At this time, it seemed that his face was really sick, and his face was yellow. After standing up, he was still silent and silent.

The scene was embarrassing.

Even Zhu Di didn't know what to say.

In fact, Zhu Di's dissatisfaction with Xie Jin... has been accumulating, and the literature has been completed, and the affairs of Wenyuan Pavilion are slowly getting on the right track.

When he knew that King Zhao asked for Xie Jin, Zhu Di understood that Xie Jin, a kid, must have had a close relationship with King Zhao in the past.

The crime of ministers contacting the vassal king in private can be big or small. To put it bluntly, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is alienating the sons of the emperor.

So when he saw Xie Jin's name, Zhu Di didn't hesitate at all.

But seeing Xie Jin's embarrassment now, he was really angry and laughed, so he simply... pretended that what happened just now didn't happen.

It was Zhang Anshi who said worriedly: "Jiegong...you..."

"Go away!" Xie Jin suddenly lost his former demeanor, and suddenly roared at Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi was startled, and immediately backed away, using Yang Rong's body to block himself.

Yang Rong: "..."

Zhang Anshi said: "Jiegong, don't worry..."

Xie Jin took a deep breath, and glanced at Zhu Di imploringly.

At this moment, he was devastated.

If you don't understand what's going on at this time, you are really stupid.

How dare they team up to cheat him!
Especially King Zhao...

He bowed down to Zhu Di, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty...the minister and King Zhao are indeed old friends, but the minister's health is not good..."

Zhang Anshi immediately said: "No problem, I can..."

Xie Jinrong didn't want Zhang Anshi to continue disrupting the situation. He even felt that this might be his last chance to argue for himself.

So Xie Jin said again: "What's more, the affairs of the court and China are complicated..."

Zhang Anshi said at this time: "There are Hu Gong and Yang Gong..."

Hearing this, Xie Jin felt cold.

Hu Guang and Yang Rong couldn't help feeling cold.

Hu Guang wanted to wave his hand subconsciously, saying that I am not, I am not...

Zhang Anshi's remarks are very suspicious of sowing dissension. It seems to be saying that Hu Guang and Yang Rong are also involved in this conspiracy.

Yang Rong is much calmer, it has reached this point, what is there to argue about?Let him go.

Zhu Di said, "Zhang Anshi, don't say a word."

Zhang Anshi immediately said: "The minister is dead, I will not talk about it."

Zhu Di said: "Xie Qing is about to go on a long journey, and he should have some concerns in his heart. Xie Qing, you also said that he is close to King Zhao, and King Zhao is my son. I don't trust him. With your help, I can do it too. not worried."

"In addition, what Xie Qing said just now is also reasonable. The so-called disobedience of the ministers to the emperor is also the so-called disorder. I heard these words very reasonable. If all the ministers of the court knew what they said, I would also Then you can sit back and relax. Alright, I've made up my mind, you don't need to say any more."

There was no last leeway left, and Xie Jin trembled all over.

The majestic Wenyuan Pavilion scholar actually went to the country of Java...

Moreover, he was only assisting a vassal king, so this was more than exile, at least he would be exiled to Qiongzhou, and there would be a day of recovery.

But when I went to Java, I really didn't want to die.

And his whole family...his relatives...

Thinking of his family, he shivered again.

His son was executed by His Majesty not long ago.

How ruthless His Majesty's methods are, and now His Majesty is still saying it in a good manner, but if he still refuses to obey the order, continues to pretend to be sick or refuses, then the result...

He was sad from the heart, with tears in his eyes, and for a moment, his eyes were blurred, choked with sobs, and said with great difficulty: "Minister...Minister...obey the order."

When he uttered the word Zunzhi, it seemed that everything in his body was emptied.

Then the whole person collapsed on the ground as if he had no strength.

Looking back at the first ten years of hard study, I think of the glory of being proud of the spring breeze, being named a talented scholar, and being named on the gold list. What an honor it is.

The wealth that many people dare not even think about is within reach for him, Xie Jin, like picking something out of a bag.

After that, he was reused by Emperor Jianwen. He first served as the examiner of the palace examination, and then entered the Imperial Academy as a servant of the Imperial Academy.

Just when he was about to make a fortune, a disaster was in front of him. Zhu Di killed Nanjing, and many people wanted to die that night.

However, most of the ministers who were favored by Emperor Jianwen survived.

Xie Jin is one of them.

Not only did he survive, but he lived a very nourishing life!
As the first Hanlin official to seek refuge with Zhu Di, Zhu Di appointed him to tear down and read the memorials made by the officials during the Jianwen period. All the memorials that offended Zhu Di were destroyed, and the memorials about military affairs and people's livelihood were kept.

Xie Jin did a great job and was quickly appreciated by Zhu Di. Since then, he has made steady progress and soared into the sky.

But now... all of this is gone.

But now...

Xie Jin smiled wryly.

Now it's nothing.

He then choked up, with tears in his eye sockets, and said with difficulty: "I... have been greatly loved by Your Majesty, and today, and now Your Majesty's rain and dew, I feel like I am receiving sweet rain. After this long journey, I will not dare to disappoint Your Majesty's expectations."

After all, he kowtowed in despair.

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Di only hummed lightly.

Then he said: "Jing represents Xieqing, ordered to build a stone workshop in his hometown, my Ming Dynasty will last forever, there must be many people like Xieqing, like Zhang Qian and Ban Chao, who can travel thousands of miles and make great achievements in the world."

After all, Xie Jin thanked him again.

Zhu Di waved his hand: "You can go."

At this time, Yang Rong, Hu Guang and others were all shocked.

One by one did not dare to let out the atmosphere.

Dare to kick this foot to the country of Java, this is true!
At that moment, all the ministers were confused, and they all bowed their hands and resigned.

But he heard Zhu Di say again: "King Zhao and Zhang Anshi stay and talk."

So, Xie Jin seemed to have finally regained some strength, and walked out of the hall in a daze.

Hu Guang caught up and said worriedly: "Jie Gong..."

Xie Jin ignored him, just looked at the void with both eyes, and still staggered away.

Hu Guang wanted to catch up, but Yang Rong, who was following behind, stopped him and said in a low voice, "Young Master Xie has a good face, don't say anything at this time, otherwise he will feel ashamed."

Hu Guang sighed quietly: "I'm worried that he won't think about it."

"Don't worry Hu Gong, Xie Gong...wouldn't do such a thing." Yang Rong said firmly.

Hu Guang looked sideways at Yang Rong, and couldn't help saying: "I'm a fellow townsman and classmate with him, and we've known each other for dozens of years. Why does Yang Gong know Xie Gong better than I do?"

Yang Rong looked at him with special meaning and said, "It's clear to the bystanders."

Hu Guang shook his head and sighed again: "The dignified scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion actually became King Zhao's friend. This...it's so regrettable, let alone hurting the family...hey..."

But Yang Rong said: "This may not be a bad thing."

Hu Guang looked at Yang Rong in surprise: "What does this mean?"

Yang Rongdao: "Xie Gongxin is too big. Although he has setbacks in his life, he has only been good at reading all his life, so he can't help but think highly of himself... Such a person is fine if nothing happens, but if something happens, he will cause a catastrophe. Have you ever wondered why the King of Zhao wants to order the generals of Duke Xie? What is the relationship between King Zhao and Duke Jie...?"

It can be said that he woke up with a word, and Hu Guang shuddered suddenly: "You mean..."

Yang Rong nodded, and then said: "If you stay in Wenyuan Pavilion, like Xie Gong, disaster will come sooner or later. Going to Java... is really wrong, but he has read thousands of books, but he has not traveled thousands of miles. .”

"Perhaps...going to Java...will make him learn to persevere, know the sufferings of the people, and learn how to live in the world. Good fortune depends on misfortune, and misfortune depends on blessing. The blessings and disasters of this world are unpredictable, Mr. Hu... ...You let him calm down for a few days first, and then go to comfort him after a few days."

Hu Guang sighed and said: "What a high-spirited person he was at the beginning, but now... I can't bear to see him like this."

Yang Rong smiled and said: "In this world... how can there be people who have a smooth life all their lives? If people only have blessings but no disasters, it may not be a good thing."

Hu Guang couldn't help but said: "Then if I teach you to go to Java, you will definitely..."

Yang Rong said without hesitation: "I will go."

Hu Guang said nothing: "Just talk."

Yang Rong thought for a while and said, "You're just asking."

"Hey……"

A sigh.

……

In Chongwen Hall.

Although Zhu Di sent away the officials, he picked up Zhao Wang's list again and looked at it carefully.

His face darkened, and he cursed at King Zhao: "Your mother, have you made friends with so many ministers?"

Zhu Gaosui, king of Zhao, hurriedly said: "I am confused for a while, and I will be punished with death."

Zhu Di glared at him angrily, and cursed angrily: "If you didn't wake up too late, if not, I will kill you and everyone in this list."

Zhu Gaosui was suddenly frightened and out of his wits.

Zhu Di said again: "This Xie Jin...I also know him as a man, and know that he is smart and arrogant. But I didn't expect that he had such intentions, but you saved his life!"

The you Zhu Di was talking about was Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi looked innocent.

Zhu Di said: "Don't think that I don't know, you must have suggested this idea to King Zhao."

Now, Zhang Anshi said calmly: "Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. After all, I have a kind heart."

Zhu Di said: "This matter, let's stop here."

Zhu Di immediately sat down and said again: "Okay, next, let's discuss coinage."

Zhang Anshi raised his head and glanced at Zhu Di: "Your Majesty... this... can make a lot of money... the real big money, compared with this coin, smuggling and smuggling official salt are all trivial."

After Zhu Di heard this, his body shook and his eyes lit up.
