my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 258 Canonization
Zheng Ci is timid.

As soon as he heard that the thing was poisonous, he almost fainted.

Because... Back then, I saw that Ye Mingzhu with my own eyes.

For that thing, Zheng Ci has never forgotten it, and he has been admiring in his heart that there is such a treasure in the world.

But how could he have thought that Zhang Anshi, such a conscienceless thing, was actually used to harm others.

No wonder he has always felt tired and weak these days.

At first, Zheng Ci thought it was just an accidental cold.

But... In fact, he couldn't tell whether it was the influence of Ye Mingzhu or not.

But to Zheng Ci, it doesn't matter, because...he wants to live.

Don't be afraid of [-], just be afraid of what happens!
The old man still wants to die!
Maybe it was because of hearing the bad news, so now Zheng Ci, with straight eyes and extremely pale face, looks like a living dead.

Everyone looked at him, and suddenly noticed that this Zheng Butang, for some reason, seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden.

The censor, Chen Jia, was speechless for a while, so he could only frown and look at Zheng Ci speechlessly.

After Zhang Anshi listened, he only felt that Zheng Ci was most likely due to psychological effects.

So, he comforted him and said, "Duke Zheng, don't be afraid. The beads won't harm you. Haven't you noticed that the beads are packed in a box? This box is specially made to prevent The poison of the bead was exposed, Zheng Gong, don't panic..."

After hearing this, Zheng Ci wailed, "But... but... that box, old man... old man opened it..."

As he said this, his face was ashen, and now it's all right, if he dies, he won't be able to find someone to take advantage of.

Zhang Anshi immediately said: "What, you actually opened the box? Hey... It's none of my business. I had someone seal the box on purpose. You did it yourself."

Zheng Ci looked desperate, but he looked at Zhang Anshi firmly and said, "I don't know if An Nanhou has a way to detoxify? Old man... old man..."

Zhang Anshi directly shattered his hope, saying: "There is no cure for this poison."

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Ci's eyes began to roll up continuously, showing signs of fainting at any time.

Zhang Anshi felt that he was soft-hearted after all, so he kindly comforted him and said, "But if you only touch it once in a while, the toxicity is not deep, at most it will only have some impact on your health, don't worry, you won't die."

After saying these words, Zheng Ci breathed a sigh of relief, and his face began to turn slightly rosy.

But Zhang Anshi seemed to be afraid of being blackmailed by Zheng Ci, and immediately began to make a disclaimer: "But then again, if there is anything good or bad about you, Mr. Zheng, it must be because Mr. Zheng is not in good health, and you can't blame me. "

These words pushed Zheng Ci into the abyss again.

Because he couldn't predict which sentence Zhang Anshi said was true and which sentence was excuses.

Although Zheng Ci is timid, he is also a smart person, and he is even a master of Tai Chi. Because of this, in his ears, Zhang Anshi's words seem to say, in fact, this bead is poisonous, and you may not live long. But in order to evade, Zhang Anshi bit him to death and said that it was absolutely not poisonous, and if there was anything good or bad, it was your business, and it had nothing to do with him, Zhang Anshi.

Zheng Ci: "..."

This Zheng Ci has always cherished his life. Hearing this, how can he care about other things?Roared angrily: "Zhang Anshi, you killed me..."

After all, show your teeth and show your claws.

Fortunately, when everyone was speechless, they still reacted.

Everyone's temperament is always compromised, bickering in court may be enjoyable for everyone, but if someone suddenly wants to violently hurt others, it will not work.

So the ministers not far from Zheng Ci stopped Zheng Ci one after another, saying: "Duke Zheng, Gong Zheng, pay attention to your appearance, isn't this poisoned to death?"

"Yes, yes, what is there to worry about? This matter... I think everyone is wrong. I blame An Nanhou for not making it clear, but I also blame Zheng Gong... for insisting on opening the box privately. I see, everyone Everyone is wrong, which means everyone is right, forget it, forget it.”

Zheng Ci only felt a little dizzy, he seemed to feel that his body was dirty, and there seemed to be some toxins surging in his body.

So after the excitement, I felt my head was heavy, as if I was really poisoned, so I made a sound of "Ouch, Ouch...".

The whole person seemed to be sluggish in an instant, his body began to tremble, and his legs trembled as if they could no longer bear his body.

Seeing him like this, everyone thought the poison was really powerful.

But Zhang Anshi yelled: "I think Mr. Zheng is ill, he needs to be disembowelled, so he must be rescued quickly."

As soon as this remark came out, Zheng Ci shook his head suddenly, as if waking up from a dream, suddenly he became more energetic again, pushed away the people around him who wanted to help him, and stood still obediently, without saying a word.

Zhang Anshi smiled, but immediately looked at Chen Jia, and said with a smile: "Chen Yushi said that I cheated... this... is right and wrong, we have our own opinions. I, Zhang Anshi, have been unfairly wronged. ...There must be a saying. Otherwise, I will make another bead and let Mr. Chen try it out. Let Mr. Chen wear this bead on his body for a month. I, Zhang Anshi, have no conscience, so how about pretending to be meritorious?"

Chen Jia's complexion was blue and white, seeing Zheng Ci like this, how dare he talk too much?Trying hard to hold back his anger, he immediately said: "If it's not a pretense, it's not a pretense, why is Marquis An Nan so fussy?"

After a farce, the monarchs and ministers finally calmed down.

Soon, they realized that this time, they had really solved a huge problem.

The Tatar army collapsed in an instant, relying on only one bead?
Such an incredible thing actually happened.

This An Shi is really...

No matter what the ministers were thinking, Zhu Di was in a very good mood at this time, and said happily: "There are countless living people, countless living people... Damn, this Tatar Khan's wolfish ambition is still alive today, it is really a celebration of the whole world."

After a pause, Zhu Di glanced at the ministers very seriously, and then said: "Everyone, let's talk about it, let's talk about it."

Yang Rong stood up first, and said pleasantly: "Your Majesty, the losses avoided this time are really not small. The soldiers and civilians in Guangning survived, and countless people in Liaodong survived. Not only that, but the most important thing this time is Wu. Liangha colluded with the Tatar tribe. Now that Guilichi is dead, this so-called collusion will fall apart again, which will be of great benefit to Ming Dynasty."

Jin Zhong also heaved a long sigh of relief.

He had originally prevented the emperor from personally conscripting this year and delaying the time, but he actually felt a little guilty in his heart.

This is tantamount to sacrificing part of the soldiers and civilians in the border towns this year, in exchange for Ming to attack the Tatars more effectively next year.

Now this problem is solved easily.

"Your Majesty, the so-called strategy of attacking the army is the second to attack the enemy, and the second is to attack the city. The method of attacking the city is a last resort. What the Marquis of Annan did this time is really beneficial to the common people and the country. I believe that when In terms of military exploits. All personnel involved in this matter should count their merits and reward them."

Zhu Di nodded again and again, looked at Zhang Anshi cheerfully and said, "Zhang Qing, who is involved?"

Zhang Anshi thought for a while and said, "In addition to the minister, there are many people from Neiqianhusuo who are in charge of inquiring, and some people are sent as envoys with Wang Langzhong. Not only that, there are also some death row prisoners... to make this poison."

Zhu Di said directly: "The last memorial is here."

Afterwards, Zhu Di did not go further into this topic.

To be honest, in his opinion, poisoning is not good after all. Although the effect is very strong and the results are fruitful, it is not suitable to shout about it everywhere.

Therefore, although Zhu Di was overjoyed in his heart, he still tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart.

Zhu Di restrained his smile a bit, and then said: "Your Excellencies, please leave, and Zhang Qing will stay and talk."

Zhang Anshi was left alone, obviously wanting to ask for details in private.

When Zhang Anshi and other officials left, he naturally patiently told Zhu Di all this.

The so-called luminous pearl is actually made of natural uranium ore. This thing... is actually distributed in many places. Although it is rare, it is easy for Zhang Anshi to obtain it.

However, pure uranium ore does not have strong radiation. After all, the half-life of this uranium ore is too long. The real danger of uranium ore is actually the radon accumulated over the years around the uranium mine!

This thing has a short half-life and is very dangerous, but if the radon-containing material near the uranium mine is stored immediately, and then quickly made into a glass-like object, and then sealed in a lead box, it only takes a few days for the lead box to be opened. With time, a large amount of radioactive substances can be released.

This is why Zhang Anshi wants to use death row prisoners.

As for Zheng Ci, it was actually bad luck, because... Although Zheng Ci may have only opened it for a while, the harm he suffered was not small.

Of course... none of this will kill you.

Only people like Guilichi and others were really put in the big tent for several days, and these few days were enough to seriously endanger their bodies.

You know, this is... the amount of radiation produced by a uranium mine lying deep underground for hundreds of millions of years.

Although...the radiation had dissipated a lot during the process of production and transportation, it was enough for Guilichi and others...to suffer huge damage to their bodies in just a few days of contact.

It's just that this thing...is still not fatal.

It just makes people lose their hair and the body starts to get more and more tired.

If you take a good rest, you can live another ten years without any problem.

However, Guilichi was at the critical period of conquering Liaodong. He worked hard on the pommel horse every day. As a Tatar sweat, he had to win over the tribes of various tribes, and drank with people at night.

Among so many new words, Zhu Di half-understood.

Zhang Qing's family was right, this thing... I really don't understand it.

If you don't understand, don't listen.

Then, Zhu Di smiled and said: "I knew you had a lot of tricks. In this way, in the coming year, sweeping the desert and completely cleaning up the disintegrated Tatar tribe will be enough to bring peace to Daming for a hundred years. Very good." !"

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, this kind of practice is ultimately harmful to the peace of heaven. After all, poisoning is a means of robbery. I feel very uneasy when I use this poisonous plan."

Zhu Di nodded and said: "Yeah, it's really difficult for you. Who would want to do such a careless thing? You have worked hard, and I will reward you when the time comes."

Zhang Anshi felt that his conscience had been comforted a little, and he said, "But then again, if you don't make this bad move, many people in Liaodong and Border Town will die under this butcher's knife. It's like a river, it's a horrible situation. Seeing them saved today, I feel a little more at ease."

Zhu Di said: "Da Ming and the Tatars are feuds for generations. The so-called enmity of ten generations can still be avenged! This ghost is so powerful and ambitious, no matter how he is killed, it is not too much. Only in this way can thousands of people be saved. , You are right to think this way! It’s just that… in the future, it’s not an example. As you said, poisoning is a means of thieves and robbers after all. If it didn’t happen suddenly, I would rather raise troops and sweep the desert with dignity.”

Zhang Anshi nodded. In fact, he also agreed with Zhu Di.

Although the cost of raising an army is high, and there may be a lot of losses, but to a certain extent, if you defeat your opponent in an upright manner, the opponent will fear you and surrender willingly.

If the Tatars were attacked just because of this, but the other party still refused to accept it, it is still necessary to use military means to attack.

But at this moment, Zhu Di suddenly remembered something, and suddenly said: "Yes, there is one more thing..."

He paused, picked up a memorial, and said: "Zheng He has a memorial sent overseas, saying that they sent a fleet to explore south, and found an island in the southeast of Java. The island is located in a remote place, and it seems to be quite large in size, sparsely populated, and most of the land is barren. However, there are many strange things on this island! One of them looks like a mouse, but it is half the height of a human. On the stomach, there is a bag, and this Zheng He has also learned badly, and he used this thing to repay auspiciousness."

Zhang Anshi was taken aback, but couldn't help laughing.

That place... Zhang Anshi knows.

But he pretended to be surprised and said: "Really, this is really rare, Your Majesty... I am ignorant, but I really want to see what this mouse with a bag looks like."

Zhu Di smiled and said: "When they are sent back to the capital, I will call you to come and see. That's right, I have to call Zhu Zhanji, this kid, I have to give him a long-term experience."

When Zhu Di talked about Zhu Zhanji, the murderous spirit he showed when discussing the Tatars just disappeared without a trace at this moment, and he still blamed him: "I am very busy these days. , I don’t know how he is doing recently, does he miss me?”

Zhang Anshi said: "I often talk about His Majesty, saying that only his grandfather in the world treats him best."

Zhu Di said, "Really?"

When these two words were said, although there was a questioning tone, Zhu Di's eyes were already full of smiles.

Zhang Anshi turned his hands towards the sky, and said: "I dare to use my reputation as a guarantee."

Zhu Di laughed suddenly and said, "He is just a grandpa like me. If he doesn't miss me, who else can he miss? This grandson is like me, and he will become a great weapon in the future."

Zhang Anshi thought to himself, in history... Zhu Zhanji was really similar to Zhu Di, and basically continued Zhu Di's national policy.

Of course, this may be the reason why Zhu Di basically took Zhu Zhanji to "gain knowledge" when he set off in history.

"By the way, how is the wine selling?"

Zhu Di's mind turned quickly, and he thought of the wine seller so quickly.

Zhang Anshidao: "I have only started preparing these days, and I think it won't be long before we can start selling."

Zhu Di pretended to be indifferent, and said, "How many bottles of wine have you made?"

"Thirty thousand boxes." Zhang Anshi said: "This is the first batch."

Zhu Di was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "How many bottles are [-] boxes?"

Zhang Anshi said: "A box of six bottles, um...about 18 bottles."'

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di's face changed slightly: "There are so many, five taels of silver, is it worth selling?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, it depends on how much money the wealthy households in my Daming...have, and I can't say for sure."

Zhu Di thought for a while, and frowned slightly.Although there are quite a lot of these wines, even if they are sold, they are only worth a million taels of silver, as if...not many.

For the current Zhu Di, although it is not a small sum of money, it is not ecstatic.

Zhang Anshi saw Zhu Di's thoughts, but he wanted to laugh in his heart. Your Majesty... still doesn't understand the meaning behind it.

Next... it's time for His Majesty to really open his eyes.

After bidding farewell to Zhu Di and leaving the palace, Zhang Anshi returned to Qixia without stopping.

He had just settled down, but immediately ordered someone to summon Zhu Jin, and immediately began to explain.

"From now on, all shops will start to distribute goods in an all-round way, and give me the signboard of our royal brewing."

Zhu Jin said kindly and authentically: "Yes."

Zhang Anshi said again: "Okay, you go and call me Chen Li."

Zhu Jin nodded and hurried away.

When Chen Li came, Zhang Anshi took a look at him.

"How's Fusi in Beizhen?"

Chen Li is now mainly responsible for the affairs of Neiqianhusuo and the Imperial Prison, and the Beizhen Fusi really has nothing to do with him.

However, Chen Li still said obediently: "Master Hou, there is nothing wrong..."

Zhang Anshi scolded: "Jin Yiwei's army, how can they be okay? If they have nothing to do, what is the court supporting them for? They are really a bunch of bastards, it is simply unreasonable, our Nanzhen Fusi is responsible for supervising the Beizhen Fusi, you In the name of your business, go and order the thousands of households in Fusi, Beizhen! Tell them, if they want to eat rice, I, Zhang Anshi, will give them a sigh of relief, and they won't even think about it."

Chen Li cheered up: "Yes, no one wants to eat for free. The humble side immediately dispatched the inner thousand households to go to the various thousand households to watch and see who is perfunctory."

Zhang Anshi said with satisfaction: "That's right, Jin Yiwei's duty is to monitor all officials, and Nan Zhen's governor's duty is to monitor Bei Zhen's governor, we are in this position, we have to seek government affairs, you know? "

Chen Li quickly said yes: "It's better for you, Lord Hou, to teach you a lesson. After thinking about it, everyone is indeed slack these days, and it's time to clean up."

Zhang Anshi said casually: "Then let Nanzhen Fusi, together with the thousands of households in Beizhen Fusi, do a good job for me. Tomorrow, let the military officers above the General Banner of Nanbei Town Fusi come to me for a meeting. .”

"Here!" Chen Li quickly responded.

Afterwards, he came out suspiciously, scratched his head, and muttered in a low voice: "This time, which bastard...offended our Lord Marquis?"

…………

The next day...

The military officers from Fusi of Nanbei Town came out in full force and gathered in Qixia.

Zhang Anshi directly mobilized, demanding that all the riders up and down should be released this winter. From the capital city to the provinces and state capitals, to severely crack down on certain illegal behaviors, everyone has to work tirelessly.

Of course everyone said yes.

Dare to say yes, it has been killed long ago.

Although everyone still feels baffled in their hearts, why is the wind so tight all of a sudden.

The most important thing is that Jin Yiwei is a spy. A spy, of course, sneaks into the night with the wind, moistens things silently, and can be as low-key as possible, but why is there such a big turmoil now?
Someone is going to die, someone must have offended our Lord Hou, this time, if he doesn't skin him, how can he rest?

At the same time.

In Chongwen Hall, a court discussion is also beginning.

These important ministers above the third rank obviously did not realize that a storm was brewing in Nanzhen Fusi.

They were called together for a court push.

This time, the Tingtui is still an old topic, which is the matter of Zhang Anshi being duke.

At the beginning, it was also because of the duke designation, which was extremely controversial, and many people were full of complaints. Some directly vetoed it, and some spoke earnestly, using words such as being young and needing experience to prevaricate.

But today, it was different, and made great achievements again. Although it was poisoning, it could still be regarded as a military exploit.

In addition, this time, Yang Rong, who presided over Tingtui, seemed to agree with it, and Hu Guang did not object.

Others such as Jin Zhong and Xia Yuanji also expressed their support, and the situation quickly turned one-sided.

After the court meeting, a record of the court meeting was quickly sent to Zhu Di in Wenlou.

Zhu Di didn't participate in such a court push, because the officials were arguing about it, which was really meaningless.

He has a bad temper and is very angry. Sometimes when he hears some strange talks, he can't help but get angry, and simply hides.

The record was brought in by Yi Shiha himself: "Your Majesty, Ting Tui has a result."

Zhu Di looked up at him: "Has it passed?"

Yi Shi laughed and said: "Your Majesty knows things like a god."

But Zhu Di said coldly: "If you still prevaricate this time, it's really unreasonable. What did they say?"

Yi Shiha said: "Jian Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, proposed to be the Duke of Shun Guo..."

"Mr. Shun Guo?"

Zhu Di immediately frowned, revealing displeasure: "Zhang Anshi is a duke conferred with great merit, what does the word Shun... mean? Could it also be an allusion of Xiao Weiqing and Huo Qubing?"

Zhu Di has been dealing with these ministers for a long time, and the so-called long-term illness becomes a doctor, and he has begun to figure out the routines of these civil servants.

The allusion mentioned by Zhu Di actually comes from the historical records. When Sima Qian wrote the historical records, perhaps because of personal emotional factors, he included Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in the "Biography of Ning Xing", and Deng Tong, Li Yannian, these emperor's male favorites tied.

Sima Qian also has a special explanation for the so-called "Biography of Ning Xing", that is, since then, there are not many families of domestic favorite ministers and foreign relatives.Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were also fortunate to have relatives, but they were quite capable of self-improvement.

The general idea is that both Wei Qing and Huo Qubing belong to the favorite ministers, and Wei Qing and Huo Qubing are among them, and they can be regarded as motivated.

Zhu Di was particularly dissatisfied with this section of Shiji. Nowadays, a group of civil servants actually pushed out a Shun Guogong, which seems to have some deep meaning.

It is probably because Zhang Anshi is regarded as one of the ranks of lucky ministers, so the name Shun is used.

But obviously, Zhang Anshi's credit was covered up by this word.

Zhu Di raised his face, and said coldly: "I see, there is no need to be obedient, let them discuss it again, and write a note to Jian Yi, I know he has read poetry and books, and understands righteousness best, I hope he will not harbor selfish thoughts. "

Yi Shiha naturally understood Zhu Di's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "This servant also thinks the same way."

He smiled, and continued: "At the time of Ting Tui, everyone knew that Marquis Annan was a high-ranking duke, and this was a matter of course. But after all, Marquis Annan was quite controversial among scholars, so some people wanted to please both sides. On the one hand, it satisfies some yin and yang remarks among scholars. Second, and..."

Before Yishiha finished speaking, Zhu Di interrupted with a sneer: "Is it the scholars in the scholastic community, give them their salaries? Hmph, if you dare to be weird, let them go to serve as officials in the scholastic community." gone."

Yi Shiha quickly said yes.

Looking at Zhu Di's suffocated expression, he turned to say: "Yes, Your Majesty, today... Qixia has summoned many military officers from Jinyiwei to a meeting. people go."

Zhu Di finally distracted, raised his eyes and said, "What are you talking about?"

"I don't know...they haven't come back yet."

Zhu Di nodded: "Dongchang and Nanbei Town Fusi are both my humerus, so we must work together."

"Yes, the servant has remembered."

…………

On the other side, Zhang Anshixin, who was in Qixia, finished the meeting contentedly, and then happily kicked his feet up and drank tea.

Zhu Yong and the others came here in a hurry at this time.

Zhu Yong said: "Brother, I heard that you are going to make trouble here, why don't you call us?"

Zhang Anshi only casually said: "You don't need a sledgehammer to kill a chicken."

As soon as these words came out, the three of Zhu Yong immediately regained their mental balance.

Zhu Yong cheerfully said: "I thought something happened. Big brother, have you heard? Today's court push is for your business."

Zhang Anshi said: "Of course I know, it's just that the more it is at this time, the harder it is for me to ask more questions."

Zhu Yong looked at Zhang Anshi with admiration and said, "Brother can still sit still. If it was me, I'm afraid... I would have been in a hurry to follow the ants in the hot pot. You don't know, when the court was discussing merit, my father was about to kill him." When he became the duke of the state, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night, because he was afraid that someone who didn't have eyes would spoil his good deed."

Zhang Anshi was happy: "Why is your father acting like a second idiot?"

Zhu Yong suddenly showed a bit of gloom, and said with emotion: "Forget it, let's not mention him. When I mention this prodigal stuff, I will get angry."

"However..." Zhang Zai said: "Theoretically speaking, there should be news at this time. Why hasn't there been an imperial edict yet?"

Zhang Anshi calmly took a sip of tea, and said: "Don't be in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry, why panic?"
