my brother-in-law is the prince

Zhu Di said: "You see me calling me a widow and a widow, and it seems easy to say what I say, but in reality, it is not so easy."

"Don't talk about other things, just talk about this new policy. How many people are against it? How many people are in full support of this civil and military affairs?"

Zhu Di eloquently said that he seemed to be in a good mood today, but he said slowly: "Do you really think... that if people in this world want to oppose the New Deal, they will only pick on the mistakes of the New Deal and talk about it? What I have faced is full of The most intelligent people in the world. If they want to oppose one thing, there are many ways. The Jiangxi incident is just one, and the danger of the swords and swords in the court is not too much. Let alone the court, even if it is far away In a small prefecture thousands of miles away, it would be easy for them to destroy the current situation."

After a pause, Zhu Di continued with some emotion: "For a king, one must perceive the huge benefits of a major national policy. This is called foresight. But people with foresight in this world are like crucian carp crossing the river. There are countless people who can distinguish between interests and harm. But...the ones who are truly determined and unswerving, whether it is coercion or temptation, someone close to you crying in front of you, or a minister scolding you for being incompetent, can still stick to this determination How many people are there?"

After hearing this, Zhang Anshi couldn't help but sigh.

Zhu Di didn't say that, but he couldn't feel it.Now that he said it this way, it made him feel the same way.

Why doesn't he have such pressure?And the pressure on His Majesty will never be less than that of a courtier like him.

And the reason why Zhang Anshi was able to grit his teeth and bite to death was due to the New Deal, because he has been a human being in two lifetimes, and he already has the so-called correct answer.

A person who has the correct answer knows that he is on the right path, and naturally, he also has confidence.Therefore, in the eyes of others, Zhang Anshi is stubborn, and does not shed tears when he sees the coffin.

But what about Your Majesty?

His Majesty does not know the answer.

Even if the New Deal is effective, he has no idea what harm it will cause or what disadvantages it will show.

But he was able to make a judgment from it, and he was sure that there was nothing wrong with this matter. After that, he faced the persuasion of countless close ministers, as well as heavy pressure, and even the rebellion that endangered the country and the country, and those who stabbed out from the dark So far, it seems that Zhu Di still has no intention of wavering.

If you come to cry, I will ignore you.You use all kinds of rumors to smear, that's up to you.If you want to rebel, then suppress the rebellion.If you have the guts to kill me, then I will kill you all.

This is how Zhu Di handles it.

But if you think about it carefully, would someone else be able to withstand such pressure?
This is just like Song Shenzong in the Song Dynasty. It's not that he didn't see the problem and wanted to change it, but so what?

In the final analysis, the vast majority of emperors are actually just ordinary people. Let them withstand the pressure and do something that will really benefit after a hundred years, but they need to face countless open and dark arrows, as well as various relatives It is almost impossible to pray with close ministers and hundreds of officials, but still remain determined.

There are only a handful of people who can do it.

Zhang Anshi said: "I understand what Your Majesty means."

Zhu Di smiled slightly and said, "What do you understand?"

"My brother-in-law, although extremely filial, is far behind your Majesty. My brother-in-law handles the government affairs very meticulously. He can secure the world and guard the country, but when it comes to forging ahead, eliminating disadvantages and making innovations, he is far behind. Emperor Taizu Gao and His Majesty."

Zhu Di nodded and said: "That's what I meant too, not that he is weak, he, the prince, has done a good job, from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the present, there are very few princes who can be like him. But to start a new deal, to He can't build the railway to make a name for himself in the world. But I'm getting old..."

When talking about this, Zhu Di sighed softly, and then said: "If I have another three or fifty years of life, maybe I can slowly figure it out. But now, my body is not as good as before. Long live forever is just an empty word." , how many years can I live?"

Hearing these words, Zhang Anshi felt a little sour and uncomfortable. He wanted to comfort him a few words, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhu Di was obviously talking about important matters with him seriously, so he swallowed the words back.

"Because of this, I was eager to build a railway in Jiangxi. I wanted to see if it was feasible for each state capital to build a railway by itself. As long as the railway is opened, the flow of people and goods from south to north will naturally flow. The parents and officials of the state capital , you can gradually become enlightened. For this reason, I even... took out the inner money..."

When Zhu Di said this, he couldn't help but fly into a rage, his eyeballs were bigger than copper bells.

Zhang Anshi was so frightened that he immediately dodged his eyes.

Zhu Di continued: "But now it seems that I was too eager for success, which is called knowing that I can't do it. It is precisely because of my recklessness that this result occurred."

Zhu Di's face gradually became full of anger and regret.

Zhang Anshi hesitated for a while, and finally said: "At the beginning, I actually felt that something might happen, but...but I was afraid that your majesty would be suspicious and attack the minister, so I didn't dissuade you."

Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Anshi: "I have already reflected on my problem, and now it's time to talk about your problem."

"Ah...this..."

Zhu Di said slowly: "I heard that you are in charge of the Jinyiwei. Even if you are the commander of the Jinyiwei, you are only in charge of the Nanzhen Fusi, and you rarely ask the Beizhen Fusi and the newly established Dongzhen Fusi. , and still let them go their own way. Even the official promotion of Weizhong, you seldom ask, but ask the pro-military governor's house to decide, right?"

Jinyiwei belongs to the pro-army Jingwei Office, which has 22 pro-military guards under its jurisdiction. Theoretically speaking, this Jingwei Office is the immediate boss of Zhang Anshi, the commander of Jinyiwei.

However, during the Yongle period, the so-called Jingwei government office was almost useless.

Because the 22 Jingwei are all forbidden troops, directly under the emperor, any commander can be regarded as a high-ranking officer, and is deeply trusted by the emperor.

Under Zhu Di's unblinking gaze, Zhang Anshi had no choice but to say: "The head of Nanzhen Fusi is in charge of supervising Jinyiwei's upper and lower official schools. I think... as long as the supervision is good..."

Zhu Di shook his head and said, "I don't think you have this idea, nor do you want to be lazy, I'm afraid you think that Jin Yiwei has great power, and you don't want to get all your hands on it, right?"

"This……"

Zhang Anshi felt that it was too difficult for him. How should he answer this question to the emperor?
But Zhu Di glared at him angrily and said, "Your mother, you want to do the New Deal. If you don't bother with the New Deal and live a down-to-earth life, it will be fine. But since the New Deal has been implemented, don't you know , once the new policy is opened, will the world be filled with firewood and fire? I don’t know how many people have tried their best to put me and you to death, but you still think about avoiding suspicion all day long?”

Zhang Anshi suddenly felt profusely sweating, and stammered: "I... I think..."

Zhu Di sternly said: "I order you to be the commander, and you will do what the commander should do. You will be killed, you will be in control, and you will not avoid people's words. Just like I ordered you to be the governor of the right governor's mansion, what you take is You are in control of everything, big and small. Otherwise, what is the use of your command and envoy Jiayou Dudu Mansion Dudu?"

"I can't hold all the power in this world in my hands. It must be distributed to all my ministers. If you don't hold the power of life and death in your hands, it will fall into the hands of others. I can trust you, but I can't trust you." other people."

When Zhu Di said the following words, Zhang Anshi couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, and quickly said yes, and silently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Zhu Di's face was extremely serious, and he continued: "From today on, take responsibility for me, and take care of Jinyiwei and Youdu Dudu's Mansion, not only that, but also the model camp! If not, who will guard you if something goes wrong? ?”

Zhang Anshi met Zhu Di's unquestionable gaze, and finally said: "I understand."

"Your Majesty, we are about to reach Tianmen Mountain." Zhu Yong said excitedly.

Zhu Di looked up at him and said, "Tianmen Mountain? How long is this Tianmen Mountain from Nanjing City?"

"I'm afraid it will take seven or eight hours."

Zhu Di suddenly turned cold, and said, "Seven or eight hours, that's still very early, what the hell is that!"

Zhu Yong laughed dryly. He was at the stern of the boat and heard Zhu Di's high-pitched voice at the bow. Nine times out of ten, it must be the eldest brother who was scolded, so he deliberately came to ease the atmosphere.

Zhu Yong said quickly: "Your Majesty, this Tianmen Mountain is also the capital city. This place is Wuhu County, which belongs to Taiping Mansion. Is this not... this is not..."

Zhu Di pursed his lips, wanting to scold something, but seeing Zhu Yong's bright smile, he just murmured: "Understood. I want to be quiet, you two stand down."

Zhang Anshi and Zhu Yong quickly resigned as if they were pardoned.

After running to the stern, Zhu Yong chirped and said: "Brother, fortunately I heard the movement and went to rescue him. Your Majesty is getting old. At this age, people can't help chattering and swearing. My father is like this."

Zhang Anshi could only look at the rushing river water rolling down, the ship was in the middle of the river, skimming the shadows of the mountains on both sides of the river.

…………

Nanzhen Fusi.

A secret report was sent quickly.

Chen Li had already heard some rumors, and he was very anxious, so he sent three groups of captains to Jiangxi.

Upon hearing the news that Jiangxi had arrived, Chen Li opened it up to take a look, and immediately felt relieved.

His Majesty is still there, so is the governor, and his nephew Chen Daowen is also unscathed.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, the sky was gloomy at this time, and he was about to take the memorial to the East Palace immediately, and copied several copies to send to the palace, Wenyuan Pavilion, Dongchang and other ministries.

But at this time, someone suddenly came and said, "The matter of Zhou Chen is here."

When Chen Li heard that something about Zhou Qian was coming, he was already in a relaxed mood at this time, but this week, Zhou Yan had a good relationship with him.

Chen Lidao: "Invite him to come to the public room."

But the school captain said: "Zhou Qianshi said that he would call everyone to the main hall."

Call everyone to the main hall?
Chen Li frowned. He felt that Zhou Yan's actions were very impolite. He is the head of the Nanzhen Fusi. If there is anything, Zhou Yan should also come and have a prophetic meeting with him. He is a Beizhen Fusi... Doing it like this is tantamount to directly bypassing him, Chen Li.

Chen Lidao: "Is there any explanation about what is going on?"

"It is said that there is an edict from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Chen Li was confused, but he still got up and said as he walked, "Let's go."

Chen Li, the acquaintance of Nanzhen Fusi, led Nanzhen Fusi Qianshi, Zhenfu and thousands of households to the main hall.

At this time, I saw Zhou Qianshi leading several school captains, holding an edict in his hand, with a solemn expression on his face.

He said sternly: "The crown prince has an edict. The situation in Beijing is urgent. In order to prevent any changes, I specially ordered this matter to temporarily restrain Jinyiwei."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Li immediately understood what was going on.

He only needs to take out the urgent report from Jiangxi, and the matter can be clarified, so he smiled slightly and said, "Old Zhou..."

Zhou Yan's face was impersonal: "Chen Tongzhi, now is an extraordinary time. It is not because I am unkind, but because I have been ordered to offend him. From now on, all the subordinates of the Fusi of the Nanbei Town will do everything they can. To strengthen the defenses inside and outside the capital, Chen Tongzhi is a veteran of Weizhong, and he is also the most trustworthy, Zhenjiang Prefecture is the gateway of the capital, and the relationship is the most important, so I invite Chen Tongzhi to go to Zhenjiang."

As soon as this remark came out, in fact, Nanzhen Fusi immediately realized that something was wrong.

No matter how important Zhenjiang is, there is no need for a Tongzhi to go, just appoint a thousand households. Chen Tongzhi has been in charge of Nanzhen Fusi for many years, and the whole operation cannot be separated from him. How could he be easily transferred?

What's more, Zhenjiang is important, isn't the most important thing in this world, the capital and Qixia?
Zhou Yan said to Chen Li with a slight smile: "Chen Tongzhi, you are old, but right now, it is time to share the worries of His Royal Highness, I am afraid that you will have to work hard."

Behind him, a thousand households stood up and shouted: "Zhenjiang should be humbled, why bother Chen Tongzhi for such trivial matters!"

Zhou Yan pulled his face down and shouted: "How to deal with it is a matter between me and Chen Tongzhi. What do you do with a thousand households? Why, have you forgotten the family law?"

The thousand households gave Zhou Yan a vicious look, showing an unyielding look, but he finally lowered his head unwillingly when he said the word "Family Law".

Chen Li looked at the crowd full of resentment, then at Zhou Yan, and said lightly, "If I leave Qixia, what will the Fusi of Nanzhen do?"

"This is easy to handle." Zhou Yan said: "Nanzhen Fusi has the most important relationship, and I can just sit in the town."

Many people looked at Chen Li, just waiting for Chen Li to turn his face, so that everyone would follow in disobedience.

But Chen Li nodded: "Since that's the case, then I have something to do, can I ask the old man to clean it up and leave in a day or two."

"Yes." Zhou Qianshi said: "It just so happens that some matters need to be settled."

In fact, when he mentioned the delivery, Chen Li understood everything.

If it is only a temporary appointment, how can it be necessary to deliver?
I'm afraid... After the delivery, his fellow confidant went to Zhenjiang, and some people hoped that he would never return to Beijing.

He nodded without showing any anger on his face, "Thank you."

After all, under the disappointed eyes of everyone, he walked away.

……

"Chen Tongzhi..." Someone chased into Chen Li's public house.

Chen Li tidied up some files on the case file.

This is Wu Ye, who is the servant of Nanzhen Fusi.

Wu Ye said furiously: "What does this mean? With a copy of the Prince's edict, you can..."

Chen Lidao: "You don't say a few words, be careful that the walls have ears."

Wu Ye was a little worried and said: "This matter is strange, I don't think it's easy, the night before yesterday..."

Chen Li looked at Wu Ye with a half-smile: "You have to take care of Nanzhen Fusi's affairs, but don't let the brothers of Nanzhen Fusi cause trouble. If not, I will ask you in the future. .”

"This is going to explode up and down, as long as Chen Tong knows..."

"Don't mess around." Chen Li scolded, "Go and do your own thing, get down."

Wu Ye was still not reconciled, but seeing Chen Li's face turned livid, he finally stomped his feet and left angrily.

Chen Li thought for a while, and then... He took out the letter from Jiangxi from his sleeve.

After pondering, he calmly put the bulletin on the candlestick.

The light on the candlestick was burning, and when it touched the letter paper, it immediately began to burn.

Immediately, Chen Li threw the half-burned letterhead into the charcoal basin under his feet, and then... a ball of flames suddenly rose in the charcoal basin, and finally burned everything completely.

"True gold is not afraid of fire, this time... it's time to see who is the real gold." Chen Li murmured.

…………

Deep house.

Someone hurried into the depths of the courtyard.

"Zhou Qianshi has already won the Fusi of Nanzhen."

"Very good. Nanzhen Fusi is in charge of the Jinyiwei's promotion, rewards and punishments. As long as he grasps it, within half a year, he will be able to clean up Zhang Thief's remaining party and replace him with his own people. This time, it can be regarded as the end of the cloud."

"Is this step too risky? If His Royal Highness did not choose Zhou Qianshi..."

"But you don't know. At first, let Zhou Qianshi get rid of the thieves and make a contribution, and His Royal Highness is kind. I heard that Zhou Qianshi risked his life to save many people. Regarding this week's incident, His Royal Highness, the two Day happens to have the deepest impression on him."

The man paused, then continued slowly: "Of course, this alone is not enough. But if His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly hears the sad news about His Majesty and Wei Guogong, he must be at a loss. I am completely at a loss, and I lost two close relatives at once, and in addition, there has just been a riot in the capital, which makes people suspect that the rebels in Jiangxi are colluding with the rebels in the capital!"

"At this time, His Highness the Crown Prince is at his weakest, most exhausted, and in the most pain. For the sake of the country, he has to make arrangements for the capital to be foolproof. Then at this time, whoever has the deepest impression on him, he will naturally be able to I will choose this person. After all, at this moment, he is still in a hurry to go to the Forbidden City to comfort the empress!"

"So, for this week's matter, Jinyiwei may not have the most seniority, but for His Royal Highness, the only Jinyiwei who can be named at that time may be Zhou Yan. Who is the person who is finally selected? ?”

"What's more, Zhou Yan's elimination of thieves has proved that he has nothing to do with those rebellious parties, and he cares about the people. The prince also believes that if any troubles happen in the capital, Zhou Qian's affairs can be handled according to his wishes. As for Chen Li and others , if it wasn't for the urgent situation, they might be the best choice, but unfortunately...they don't have this luck. Perhaps Your Highness may not be able to remember their names for a while."
