my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 25
Zhu Di nodded: "The last time I made a treasure note, I really didn't expect that not only the monks and the common people did not obey the emperor's decree, but everything ran counter to it. This is really surprising."

"Theoretically speaking, if the emperor is in the deep palace and doesn't know the actual situation, but what about the cabinet, six ministers and ministers? Sigh... Who would have thought that not only the edict had no effect, but instead made the market panic. "

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "It seems that my brother has lost a lot of money."

Zhu Di: "..."

"I don't know what the princes of the court are thinking, but many ministers are from the imperial examinations, and they rarely have contact with practical affairs. In fact, it is understandable."

Zhu Di nodded, and the two finally reached an agreement.

Zhu Di said: "When the emperor was in the army, he still knew how to lead the soldiers and share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. Therefore, whenever Jing Nan's army and horses encountered setbacks, the soldiers still followed the emperor and refused to break up. Thinking about it, it is the same reason to govern the army and govern the country. Most of the civil servants in the court are self-confessed and do not know the sufferings of the people, so how can they be expected to rule the world? I think most of the civil servants are useless."

Zhang Anshi said: "Brother, don't be so extreme."

Zhu Di glared at him: "Why, isn't your family from civil servants?"

"Not really, I just think that there are always talents."

Zhu Di became interested, and looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile: "Then tell me, which one is a talent."

"This... this..." Zhu Di asked for a while, but Zhang Anshi couldn't answer for a while.

But from Zhang Anshi's point of view, what he and the man in front of him are doing now is keyboard man, no different from those people in the market who drink a few sips of wine and start pointing out the country.

It's just that even if it's blowing water, there must be some dry goods in the end.

Suddenly, Zhang Anshi said: "There is a man named Yang Shiqi who is very talented. Such a person must be a talent for governing the world."

Zhu Di was at a loss: "Who is Yang Shiqi?"

Zhang Anshi thought of Yang Shiqi, on the one hand, because his brother-in-law of the crown prince wanted someone to teach him a lecture, and it seemed that he was invited to be a lecturer in the Imperial Academy of the East Palace, named Yang Shiqi.

Of course... this name has also been heard by Zhang Anshi in the later world, at least it has appeared in various novels and TV dramas. It is said that after the Five Dynasties, the main national policies from the early Ming to the middle of the Ming Dynasty all have his shadow.

And because this person was born in poverty, he knows the hardships of the people very well.

Look... isn't this right?

Zhang Anshi said: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, what are we going to do with our leisure!"

Zhu Di nodded, but he murmured in his heart, this guy...is he just talking nonsense?

After drinking for three rounds, Zhang Anshi was a little bit drunk. At this time, Zhu Di seemed to be preparing to leave. He touched Zhang Anshi's back and said with emotion: "You little baby is not bad, and the future will be bright."

Zhang Anshi said heartily: "Then I also wish you a bright future."

Zhu Di smiled: "Damn it, talking to you here will delay my business, so let's go, get out."

"You..." Zhang Anshi gritted his teeth, glanced at the sturdy guards around Zhu Di, and smiled: "Goodbye."

Although the relationship is close, the procedure still has to go. For example, Zhang Anshi happily got into the sack.

There is a saying that is good, life is like xx, if you can't resist, then learn to enjoy it.

Kong Wu's powerful guard carried Zhang Anshi on his back, and soon appeared in an alley, and Zhang Anshi got out.

The guard stared at Zhang Anshi, and suddenly said: "Don't gossip in front of him in the future, there are some people you can't afford."

Zhang Anshi patted the dust off his body: "I don't know who can't offend whom!"

Pat your ass and go straight away.

Leaving the guard behind, the wind was messy.

…………

Zhang Anshi was on his way home, but at this moment, the Zhang family was in chaos.

Zhang Anshi slipped out, and Deng Jian came excitedly to teach Zhang Anshi how to eat and drink in the palace, but he disappeared.

And Yang Shiqi, the lecturer in the Imperial Academy, happened to come here today and prepared some homework on the Four Books and Five Classics, intending to make up for Zhang Anshi.

But when the person arrived... only to find that the young master of the Zhang family didn't even see a ghost.

Yang Shiqi was sitting in the hall, while Deng Jian was very embarrassed, and said to Yang Shiqi again and again: "After a while, Mr. Zhang will come back. Be safe and don't be impatient. Come on, Yang Shi said, you can drink some tea. Have a sip of tea."

So, after Yang Shiqi tactically used tea to cover up his embarrassment countless times, and ran to the latrine seven or eight times at the same time, Zhang Anshi came back reeking of alcohol.

Yang Shiqi's complexion was very bad. Before he came, he had received the crown prince's instruction, and he was quite happy. After all, he was a mere attendant, and he was really lucky to be favored by the crown prince.

Of course, this actually has something to do with Yang Shiqi's background.

Yang Shiqi grew up in poverty, his father died early, and his mother remarried. His stepfather treated him well, but he also died soon.

So orphans and widows depend on each other for their lives, and he makes a living by being a teacher for others.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the imperial court needed a large number of talents, so Yang Shiqi was able to enter the court as an official under the recommendation of nobles.

That is to say, Yang Shiqi was not an official who passed the imperial examinations. This was not a problem in the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, but after decades of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, this has become a huge weakness.

Yang Shiqi's career in officialdom was not good. Those Jinshi who came from the right track looked down on him, and he came from a poor background. Although some people valued him occasionally, he was not favored by real important officials of the court after all, let alone the relationship between fellow villagers and the same age.

Therefore, in the early years of the Yongle Dynasty, he was just a transparent person.

Only then did he realize that it was no wonder the crown prince asked him to teach this young master Zhang. He dared to let good things happen, and let him take the blame for bad things.

Yang Shiqi greeted Zhang Anshi.

When Zhang Anshi heard that Yang Shiqi was coming, he was actually very enthusiastic: "Come on, come on, Shidao Yang, I've heard about you for a long time, let's sit down, Shidao Yang, have you eaten yet?"

Yang Shiqi smiled helplessly when he heard Zhang Anshi say that he had admired his name for a long time.

It's fine if others look up to you for a long time, but you come to look up to... hey... bad luck.

Yang Shiqi put on a serious face and said, "My lord, let's start studying."

Zhang Anshi said: "Okay, okay, I always like reading."

Therefore, a "Book of History" was placed in front of Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi was dumbfounded at first, and in good conscience, he knew every word in it, but when combined, Zhang Anshi became blind.

The most frightening thing was that when Yang Shiqi started studying, Zhang Anshi began to doze off, feel drowsy, and his eyelids kept fighting.

Several times... Seeing Zhang Anshi's dumb look, Yang Shiqi coughed desperately, reminding Zhang Anshi to cheer up.

Shocked, Zhang Anshi opened his eyes blankly to look around, at first he wondered who I am and where I am.

The next moment, the eyelids began to droop again.

After doing this several times, Yang Shiqi felt that he was about to collapse.

He wanted to be furious, and imagined that he would beat this hateful guy with a ruler like he did when he was a teacher in the folk.

But he held back, and for the sake of his own future, he warned himself that he could only swallow his anger.

"Master Zhang, can you understand the "Book of Zhou" I just talked about?"

Zhang Anshi: "..."

"Don't worry, take your time, let me explain the essence of "Book of Zhou" to you."

"Okay, I guess Mr. Zhang has mastered this."

Zhang Anshi stared, blinking occasionally, looking at Yang Shiqi with a stiff face.

Yang Shiqi took a deep breath, tried hard to maintain a professional smile, and said: "Then let me repeat it again, this time listen carefully, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, many people are like this at first, and when they get the hang of it... then But it’s a matter of course.”

So repeatedly comforted for several days.

In the end, Yang Shiqi wanted to cry but had no tears.

Because this guy is clueless.

You say he has a bad attitude, but he respects you quite a bit.

But if you want to say that he is well-behaved, you have taught so many books and classics, but this guy is still blind.

You can't beat him and scold him, after all, he is the brother-in-law of His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness seems to value this brother-in-law very much. In the future, he will be a famous uncle of the country, a serious relative of the emperor.

So, a few days later, when Yang Shiqi went to Zhang's house, he probably felt like going to the grave.

When he almost collapsed and broke his defense several times, he used strong willpower to pull his sanity back again and again.
