my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 280
Zhang Anshi didn't even look at Cui Yinghao.

His face was still serious, and after taking a deep breath, he said, "Think of a way to let this Cui Yinghao take someone to salvage in the lake, and see if he can salvage something."

Of course, this method is too stupid, Zhang Anshi also felt that there was no hope, and immediately said: "The Jin family, I am afraid that people will have to think of a way, although I don't expect her to speak, but at least... if there is a chance, Let’s take a chance.”

After a pause, Zhang Anshi continued: "At this time, it seems that we are still going to have an audience. Let's go together."

Yi Shiha became vigilant, frowned and said: "Duke Wei, there will be no problem, right?"

Zhang Anshi pointed to the book and said, "You guessed it, after the burden was brought in, Mrs. Jin went to see the empress four times. You wouldn't think that a person like her would want to please the empress."

Yishiha's face changed suddenly, and he said with a bit of panic: "You...you...Wei Guogong means...Wei Guogong, don't scare us, we can't stand the scare."

Zhang Anshi seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "That's right, that's right, go out and inquire quickly, go out and inquire quickly, there are nursery rhymes, there must be nursery rhymes..."

Yi Shiha was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why and said: "Nursery rhyme, what nursery rhyme?"

Zhang Anshi said: "We have been so nervous these days that we have neglected one thing."

Yishiha still didn't understand, so he continued to stare at Zhang Anshi in a daze.

"That's a nursery rhyme!" Zhang Anshi said: "The White Lotus Sect has always liked to play tricks. Since they are determined to do something, they will definitely release nursery rhymes at a certain time before this event. Only in this way can they appear wise."

Yishiha's brows were almost twisted into a word Chuan, but he still couldn't understand it.

Zhang Anshi said: "I don't have time to explain to you in detail now, father-in-law, it's time to burn your eyebrows, you'd better send someone out of the palace to inquire around immediately, and come back immediately if you have any news."

Seeing Zhang Anshi's nervous look, Yishiha vaguely understood that this so-called nursery rhyme must be very important, so without hesitation, he immediately said: "Okay, I'll go and give orders, then there will be Duke Laowei in this palace."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the other eunuchs to obey Zhang Anshi's orders, and left in a hurry.

Zhang Anshi took Yiwang Zhu to see Zhu Di.

Although he was walking fast along the way, Zhang Anshi patted Zhu on the shoulder affectionately, and said, "Are you used to it in government schools?"

"Habit."

"Is it interesting?"

"interesting!"

Zhang Anshi blinked and said: "Very good, when you go to see His Majesty later, if His Majesty is angry, you have to stand up."

Zhu thought for a while and said, "Why?"

"This is an exam." Zhang Anshi said: "Students who enter the official school all pay equal attention to wisdom and virtue. They are full of talent and loyalty."

"Oh." Zhu nodded, looking a bit worried: "Then I'm afraid that I won't do well in the exam, and I'm afraid of Brother Huang."

"That's why it's called an exam!" Zhang Anshi said bluntly: "One must restrain his timidity before he can do great things."

Zhu looked at him helplessly and said, "But Chief Teacher, why don't you give a demonstration?"

Zhang Anshi glared at him immediately, and said angrily, "I think your intentions are not right."

Zhu had no choice but to say, "Then I'll give it a try."

He bowed his head and sighed.

Zhang Anshi encouraged: "Don't think too much at that time, just think about it, the big deal is to nod your head, and you will still be a man in 20 years."

"Oh." Zhu said weakly.

Zhang Anshi said: "A real man is only when he holds his head up and chest out."

"Hmm!" Zhu replied again.

Zhang Anshi glanced at him, a little worried, and asked, "Are you listening?"

"exist."

I saw Zhu Di again, but it was in the small hall of Empress Xu's bedroom.

Zhu Di obviously didn't want to disturb Empress Xu's rest.

Zhang Anshi reported the results of the interrogation in detail.

Zhu Di seemed distraught, he felt very hurt, he always felt that his self-esteem had been hit.

Zhu Di sighed: "One White Lotus Sect can turn the world upside down. Those ignorant people, and the Jin family, how can they... be so crazy? I can't figure it out."

Zhang Anshidao: "The common people believe in it, but I think it is justifiable. They are too miserable, and they always hope for something to look forward to. But the Jin family... I dare to say that this is just that this kind of woman is used to being rich and honored every day. , on the contrary, I feel empty and tasteless in my heart. It's just that I am used to being rich and honored. I usually stretch out my clothes and open my mouth when I eat, but I don't have much experience. Unlike other people, in order to earn fame or meritorious service, Fighting with her own life. This is a pie that fell from the sky! The ancients said that virtue does not match, but this is actually the case."

Zhu Di glared at Zhang Anshi: "You bastard, why are you talking so much?"

Zhang Anshi murmured: "This minister is... comforting His Majesty."

Zhu Di's face softened, and he said one by one: "I don't need comfort, but what you said may not be unreasonable."

As he said that, he continued with a little emotion: "Hey... so, back then, Emperor Taizu Gao sent us brothers out of the palace to practice in Fengyang, and then let us go to the border town to fight hard. In the world, where is the wealth and honor that can be enjoyed for nothing.”

Zhang Anshi said with a dry smile: "Your Majesty is right. Emperor Taizu Gao is also a sage, so I always say that only when you suffer hardships can you be a master. Of course... this is right or wrong, because... the vast majority At that time, many people endured hardships, but they were still servants for the rest of their lives. Is the minister a little wordy?"

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi fixedly and said, "Do you have something to say to me?"

"This..." Zhang Anshi laughed dryly: "Your Majesty understands the minister..."

"Finish." Zhu Di seemed to have some premonition, and even took a deep breath before saying, "You say whatever you want, I won't be angry, and you don't have to regard me as a scourge."

Zhang Anshi hesitated for a moment, and then he said: "After the Jin family got a burden, they went to see the empress four times...I think..."

Hearing the words "Queen Empress", Zhu Di subconsciously raised his eyebrows: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Zhang Anshi took a step back in shock, and said timidly: "Didn't I just hint at it?"

"What do you imply?" Zhu Di glared at Zhang Anshi angrily.

Zhang Anshi worked hard and said: "Eat bitterness and suffer... Fang Wei... Fang Wei..."

Zhu Di stood up, with his hands behind his back, and began to pace, his voice hurried: "Do you think... what is the plot here?"

Zhang Anshi said: "First of all, what is certain is that this must be an action that can revolve around the empress. But in the end, what kind of strategy is used..."

Zhu Di frowned and said, "You mean, you need to ask the queen?"

Zhang Anshi shook his head: "The empress may not know, but I have already found a solution."

Zhu Di hurriedly said, "Where is the solution?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Eunuch Ha is also lost, and the answer will be found soon."

This is why Zhang Anshi went around in circles. Before Yishiha came, since he didn't know the answer, he simply went around in circles first.If he said it at the beginning, then he would have to face the storm for at least half an hour.

Zhu Di said angrily: "Damn the Jin family, they all deserve to die, I decree... I decree that the Jin family should be executed, immediately. I decree that North Korea should arrest her family members. Send them all over. Anyone who has anything to do with the Jin family will be executed together, and no one will be left behind."

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Anshi again: "When will Yishiha come back?"

"It should be soon."

Seeing Zhu Di's angry look, Zhang Anshi felt that he could only say this.

Seeing the emperor's appearance like this, Yi Wang Zhu trembled beside him with fright, and seemed to be holding his breath at this moment.

Zhang Anshi hesitated for a moment, but still persuaded him: "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry, I think... things haven't reached the worst time yet."

Zhu Di said with a sullen face: "Zhang Qing's family, tell me, can I completely eradicate the White Lotus Sect? I just met the Jin family, and I thought...it is easy to rule the world, but it is easy to rule thousands of people." People's hearts are really too difficult."

Zhang Anshi said: "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a caring person, as long as your majesty can see the harm of the White Lotus Sect, and persevere in attacking, at the same time... at the same time... the people of the world... can live and work in peace, at least the White Lotus Sect. can be minimized.”

Zhu Di nodded, and said: "The things in this world are really ridiculous. If you don't lift the cover, you can sing and dance for peace. If you really want to lift the cover, you don't know how many terrible things will happen. When I first ascended the throne, I was so ambitious. Now But I found out that even though I have three heads and six arms, such terrible things still happen one after another. Now that I think about it, the Emperor Taizu Gao reviewed the memorials every day and set up a big prison every day. I'm afraid...it was also the emperor The longer you do it, the colder you feel."

Zhang Anshidao: "Therefore, some emperors like to do some superficial things, such as respecting the corporals, such as issuing some amnesty edicts, so everyone likes him and sings praises to him, saying that this is a rule."

"However, I think that this is just throwing troubles to later generations. Although Taizu Emperor Gao was in a hurry and used strong medicine everywhere, his love for his descendants can be seen. He didn't want to leave troubles to future generations. "

Zhu Di was quite emotional when he heard this, his eyes were slightly red: "Hey, I also want to honor the great ancestor."

King Yi Zhu said abruptly: "Father is very kind to my brother. On the first day he ascended the throne, he made my uncle King of Nanchang and built a mausoleum for him."

Zhu Di scolded angrily: "Father also imprisoned Zhu Wenzheng, the son of King Nanchang, and put him under house arrest until he died."

Zhu immediately fell silent.

But at this time, Yi Shiha came.

Yishiha left in a hurry, out of breath, and was about to salute when he saw Zhu Di.

Zhu Di immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't be too polite, what did you find out?"

Yi Shiha breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "It was Wei Guogong who taught the slave to inquire about some nursery rhymes. The slave asked people to go out of the palace to continue inquiring, and at the same time checked, Dongchang's records in the past few days Some folk situations. Sure enough, three days before the discovery, there was a strange ballad."

Zhu Di said nervously, "What ballad?"

Yi Shiha looked hesitant and said: "It's all children's ramblings."

Zhu Di said angrily: "Say!"

Only then did Yi Shiha reluctantly say: "The general meaning is... because His Majesty has offended the gods in the sky by arresting the White Lotus Sect, so...so the heavens will send disasters...to...death to Longzi..."

His voice is getting softer.

In fact, Yishiha has already said it lightly. If the original words are spoken, God knows what will happen.

Zhu Di trembled with anger: "Damn..."

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, I finally understand everything."

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi: "Do you understand?"

Zhang Anshidao: "The demons saw that the bombing of the Imperial Tomb in Zhongdu did not work, so they decided to continue to provoke His Majesty. Therefore, they sent instructions to Concubine Jin to let her act in the palace, and the actions in the palace... Aiming at the Empress... A few days later, at the time when the Jin family had already started, such nursery rhymes were spread. In fact... they killed two birds with one stone. On the one hand, they continued to anger His Majesty and taught His Majesty to kill. On the other hand, nursery rhymes were spread beforehand, and with the success of the Jin family's actions...then these nursery rhymes will come true, Your Majesty, what will the people of this world think? What they think is that these nursery rhymes are actually true If you hit it, then...everything in the nursery rhyme is true. The White Lotus Sect is indeed a true immortal, and Your Majesty...against the White Lotus Sect is an act against the heavens."

"Your Majesty... In this way, when everyone is convinced of this, no matter how much His Majesty kills, it will be of no avail. Because even if the followers of the White Lotus Sect are killed and arrested everywhere, they still firmly believe that they Blessed by the gods. And this...is the most terrifying."

Zhu Di gasped.

Zhang Anshidao: "The reason why I asked Eunuch Yishiha to start with nursery rhymes is that the White Lotus Sect is best at pretending to be gods and tricking ghosts. Now that they have taken action, they will not miss this opportunity to publicize."

Zhu Di said: "What is the explanation for the dead dragon son?"

Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, don't forget, Empress Empress...is pregnant right now."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di's face paled instantly.

He took a deep breath, tried to stabilize himself, and said, "Go and see the queen."

Without any hesitation, Zhu Di quickly led Zhang An and the others to meet Empress Xu.

An eunuch woke up Empress Xu who was sleeping peacefully. Empress Xu knew Zhu Di well, and if it wasn't for something urgent, she would never disturb her rest.

So he simply packed up his clothes and came out in a hurry.

Seeing Zhu Di's strange expression, she couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty... what's wrong?"

But Zhu Di said: "The Jin family has been looking for you four times recently, hasn't it?"

Empress Xu said: "She came here and walked around. She is usually cold-tempered and doesn't come and go much, but these days, she does come here frequently."

"Did she come to see you just to ask for warmth?"

"Brought some food..."

Zhu Di said, "Have you eaten?"

Empress Xu said: "The concubine has been greedy since she was pregnant. Besides, the food she brings is quite to my taste. She sees that I like it, so she often brings it and eats it with the concubine."

Zhu Di's face was full of sorrow, he said: "These people in the palace are all dead, I don't know..."

Empress Xu said: "Your Majesty, don't take your anger out on others. How could it be possible for those who are also in the palace... Your Majesty, is there something wrong with that thing?"

Zhu Di sighed: "You, too, were careless."

"The concubine eats with her, and besides, they are all in the harem, the concubine..."

Zhu Di said, "This is not poison..."

Empress Xu is such a smart person, now that she is slowly coming to terms with it, she suddenly felt a little dizzy, she quickly rubbed her forehead, and said, "No wonder I always feel a dull pain in my stomach these few days... I thought that only……"

Zhu Di said: "Zhang Anshi, go and have a look."

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, it is better to let... the imperial doctors come and see, and the minister will guide you, or..."

Zhu Di said: "The eyebrows are on fire, but you are still trying to shirk."

Zhang Anshi said: "Actually...actually...the minister is not good at feeling the pulse, so I still have to invite the imperial doctor to come together and find a way together."

Zhu Di nodded: "Go and ask the imperial doctor."

Zhang Anshi said: "Call Imperial Doctor Xu."

Zhu Di didn't object.

After a while, many imperial doctors came, and everyone thought it might be a sign of miscarriage.

But how about the child in the belly, but I can't tell.

Zhang Anshi said at this time: "Okay, you guys have finished reading, let me give it a try, that...that, the idlers will leave."

All the imperial doctors withdrew.

Zhang Anshi looked at Yi Wang who was still standing there, and said, "Including His Royal Highness Yi Wang."

Yi Wangzhu refused to leave, his eyes were already red, the only one in the world who treats him best is the emperor's wife, so he sobbed, "Does the emperor's wife want to..."

Zhu Di kicked him, but only stopped when his toes were within walking distance: "Get lost."

Zhu Cai reluctantly left.

Zhang Anshi solemnly sat down in front of Empress Xu, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, do you feel a dull pain? My personal guess is just my personal guess. Since the Jin family didn't inject poison, it must have been mixed in the food." Some abortion drugs, such as saffron, etc., these drugs... can cause cervical contraction, and if excessive, it may lead to... unstable fetal position. Of course, I just said the general meaning, that is, what they use is not poison……"

Zhang Anshi paused for a moment, but then said: "Your Majesty... how many weeks are you pregnant?"

"week?"

Zhang Anshi said: "It's been a few months."

Empress Xu said: "It should be six and a half months."

six and a half months...

Zhang Anshi frowned, and he began to estimate in his heart: "Is it the imperial doctor who found out the happy pulse?"

Empress Xu nodded: "Exactly."

Zhang Anshi breathed a sigh of relief, I said...

The calculation method of pregnancy in ancient times is different from that in later generations.

Generally, the pregnancy period in ancient times starts from the detection of the happy pulse, and if the pregnancy period in later generations is calculated, it should be counted from the last menstrual event.

Therefore, this pregnancy should be more than seven months, or even close to eight months.

Zhang Anshi coughed: "I... I... have to make sure of one thing, so... so I have to find a tool first. Er... can someone help me find a book? It should be frivolous."

After a while, someone found a book.

Zhang Anshi folded the book into a roll shape, and then said to a palace lady: "Take this, this side is facing your mother's belly, and the other side is facing your ear, count how many times it beats for me, remember, Be careful."

This Gong'e looked suspicious, but still nodded.

Zhang Anshi asked people to put down the curtain, stood behind the curtain, and said, "I said, let's start, are you ready?"

After a while, that Gong'e said: "It's ready."

"Okay, start."

Zhang Anshi gave an order.

Then, Zhang Anshi began to count the time silently, and after 60 seconds of mental calculation, Zhang Anshi shouted: "Stop, let me ask you...how much is the fetal heartbeat?"

Gong'e said: "73 times."

After hearing this, Zhang Anshi frowned.

Zhu Di said from the side: "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, let's continue, this time we have to listen to someone else."

Immediately afterwards, another person was changed, and the number was 79 times.

Zhang Anshi was still not reconciled, so he asked several maids to listen one by one.

The results obtained are obviously not optimistic.

"Your Majesty, this fetal heart... has changed so many people, at most, it was only 79 times. I think... I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

"You keep talking."

Zhang Anshi said: "Something might happen."

"Something happened?"

"If it's a normal fetus... it should be between 160 and [-] times. It's like the pulse of our adults. In fact, it's the same when the fetus is in the belly. If it's low... there's only one possibility..."

Zhu Di stared at Zhang Anshi, and said: "Come here, go and find out if there are any normal pregnant women, let these ladies go and listen."

Yi Shiha listened and nodded quickly.

Zhu Di tried his best to calm down his mood, and let people lift the veil. At this time, Empress Xu also began to look sad.

Empress Xu said: "Zhang Qing, what is the worst outcome?"

Zhang Anshi said: "I... still feel that we should observe for another day before making a conclusion."

Empress Xu said: "Hey..."

Zhu Di said: "Then observe for another day, Zhang Anshi, what do you have to say?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Continuing to let people listen to the fetal heart rate every other hour is the old way. If there are any other symptoms, they must be treated in time. As for the others... we can only wait until tomorrow."

Zhu Di wanted to be furious and scold something, but because Empress Xu was present, and worried that she would be even more disturbed, he tried to calm down and said, "You will come to the palace early tomorrow morning, don't delay."

Zhang Anshi said: "Yes, I have resigned."

Coming out of the palace, Yiwang Zhu kept asking: "What's the matter with the queen's wife, what's the matter with the queen's sister-in-law, nothing happened. Chief teacher, please don't ignore me, talk to me."

Zhang Anshi said: "It's still unclear, I dare not make a conclusion."

Zhu Bing's eyes were red: "It's over, I'm afraid that something will happen to the emperor's wife. The head teacher said that he can't make a conclusion. It must be deeply poisoned."

After that, he hurriedly bumped into the tree trunk by the side of the road, knocked his head on the tree trunk and said: "It's all my fault, I dare not go to the official school, I should stay in the palace, with me here, I can't hurt the emperor's sister-in-law .”
