my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 4
Inner Palace, Wenhua Palace.

An eunuch walked into the hall in pieces, holding a memorial, and presented it to the imperial case.

After the imperial case, Yongle Emperor Zhu Di was sitting upright, holding a memorial and watching silently, without saying a word for a long time.

Zhu Di has a burly figure, his complexion is slightly dark, and his eyes are as sharp as if they were pierced into a bag.

Accompanying Zhu Di was an old monk dressed in black. The old monk was calm and relaxed, with a certain air of grace.

The Wenhua Hall is a side hall, so the layout is not large, but it is precisely the place where Zhu Di met with his confidant ministers in private and summoned the officials of the Hanlin on weekdays.

As for this old man, he was famous all over the world. He first became a monk and was named Daoyan. Afterwards, he instigated Zhu Di to rebel in Beiping City, and finally determined Yao Guangxiao to become the king of the world in one fell swoop.

After Zhu Di proclaimed himself emperor, he ordered Yao Guangxiao to be the prince's young teacher, and appointed him to be in charge of the Senglu Department. Although the official position was not high, because he was the confidant of Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, many decisions in the world had the shadow of Yao Guangxiao's participation, so In the folk, people call this monk the 'Prime Minister in Black'.

After Zhu Di picked up the memorial, he only glanced at it lightly, then his face suddenly darkened, and his sharp eyes were faintly filled with anger.

This anger disappeared in a blink of an eye, and then he threw the memorial on the imperial case: "The benevolence of the prince's wife is that the son is not like the father."

When Yao Guangxiao listened calmly, he suddenly heard the overtones, Zhu Di immediately won the world, just like Emperor Taizu Gao, with a fierce temperament.

But his evaluation of the prince Zhu Gaochi is the benevolence of a woman, which is obviously very dissatisfied with the prince.

As for the four words that the child is not like the father, it is actually more serious, because the original meaning of the words is that this child is not like me...

Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly, but ignored Zhu Di's complaints indifferently.

The matter of their father and son is not something that a monk like himself can evaluate at will.

But Zhu Di raised his head, looked at Yao Guangxiao and said, "How can a woman who is so benevolent that she can't even discipline her own relatives rule the world?"

If it is said that the former leader is not like his father, it is just a personal emotional complaint, then how to control the world is related to the issue of the country and society.

Yao Guangxiao said: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is said in the memorial?"

Zhu Di saw that he finally spoke up and seemed to have found a sympathy, so he snorted coldly: "Jin Yiwei reported that the crown prince indulged his wife and brother, and this man not only has no intention of studying, he is stubborn, and he is also domineering. Everyone shunned him like a snake."

A young man messing around... In fact, Yao Guangxiao doesn't care, after all, he is just a relative of the emperor. How many relatives of the emperor in this world will be called good people?

What Yao Guangxiao paid more attention to was the news of Jinyiwei's report. Obviously, most of Jinyiwei's military officials were originally from Zhu Di's personal soldiers, and they were deeply trusted by Zhu Di. Back then, these personal soldiers also followed the Han King Zhu Gaoxu in the battle. It can be said that they had a history. fateful friendship.

And now Jin Yiwei secretly reported the crime of the prince's relatives, behind this must not be simple.

It's just that Yao Guangxiao is a very smart person, he doesn't want to get involved in it, Yao Guangxiao said: "Imperial relatives are law-abiding, you really shouldn't be arrogant."

Zhu Di nodded, with a gray and cold face, he just said indifferently: "Decree to order the prince to strictly discipline him. If he can't even handle such a small matter, then I will take care of it myself."

Yao Guangxiao nodded.

But Zhu Di couldn't help but said: "I've never seen such a wicked boy!"

Just as he was talking, an eunuch hurried in from outside and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Hu Yan, the Imperial College's sacrificial wine, begs to see you."

Zhu Di closed the memorial without showing any signs of expression, but He Yao Guangxiao looked at each other, as if they were thinking, what is he asking for a visit?
Zhu Di said: "Come in."

Hu Yan was a famous Confucian who was famous all over the world before, and he was clean and honest, and he was very magnanimous in dealing with people, so Zhu Di also regarded him very highly.

Only a moment later, he saw Hu Yan walking into the hall quickly, not as calm as before. When he saw Zhu Di, he immediately bowed down and said out of breath, "Minister Hu Yan, I have seen Your Majesty."

"The Qing family is free of courtesy." Zhu Di forced a smile, and found that Hu Yan was a little different from before.

"Your Majesty, I am here to beg Your Majesty to be merciful, and I will resign from the responsibility of teaching the disciples of the honorable minister."

Zhu Di's expression changed slightly, and he immediately said, "Why, what happened?"

Hu Yan couldn't hold back anymore: "Your Majesty... I can't teach you anymore. These children are all stubborn. A few days ago... Zhu Yong, the son of Zhu Neng, the Duke of Cheng, went to the back house of the minister...to steal the chicken of the minister... ..."

Zhu Di's face was slightly ugly, but he calmed down: "The child is messing around, Qing is a great sage, don't take this to heart."

When Hu Yan heard it, her heart turned cold. This is not your chicken, right?

So he said again: "What's even more exasperating is...that Zhang Fu..."

Upon hearing Zhang Fu, Zhu Di's expression changed again.

That kid...Zhu Di has been paying attention to him all the time. Zhang Fu's father is Zhang Yu. When Jing Nan was in trouble, Zhu Di was surrounded by the army. Zhang Yu pretended to be Zhu Di to attract the enemy and rescued Zhu Di. In the first battle, Zhang Yu died in battle.

It can be said that Zhu Di's life was almost saved by Zhang Yu. Without Zhang Yu, there would be no Zhu Di today. After Zhang Yu died in the battle, there were only a few children left behind. Zhang Fu was the youngest, and Zhu Di certainly valued him very much.

"What's up with him?"

"He is the most unworthy. The minister went to the latrine well, but he used firecrackers to blow up the dung..."

Zhu Di: "..."

"Your Majesty, I can't control you anymore. At that time, I was really gentle and swept the floor, covered in feces... I have never been insulted like this before."

Hearing this...Zhu Di got up on the case, and couldn't help yelling: "I really can't think of it, there are people worse than that Zhang Anshi in the world! This kid Zhang Fu, and that Zhu Yong... Qing family... don't worry ...I will never tolerate them!"

Hu Yan wanted to say something more.

Zhu Di couldn't hold back his face any longer, and with a wink, Hu Yan had no choice but to leave.

As soon as Hu Yan left, Zhu Di took a look at Yao Guangxiao, and said indignantly: "The disciples of Xunchen have corrupted so much, I thought... Zhang Anshi was hopeless, who would have thought... there could be worse."

Yao Guangxiao also frowned: "Your Majesty, this matter is no small matter. If you just sit back and ignore it, in the future..."

Zhu Di's long and narrow eyes slightly closed: "Hu Yan is gentle and courteous, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with these brats, you should go there, check them out, and see how they behave in daily life. Pick out a few top-notch ones, and I still don't believe it, among so many children, there is not a single top-notch."

Yao Guangxiao was the chief planner and behind-the-scenes promoter of the Jingnan Campaign, not to mention those teenagers, even if their fathers were in front of Yao Guangxiao, they would probably tremble with trepidation. For Zhu Di, it was most appropriate for Yao Guangxiao to go.

Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly and said, "Yes."

…………

Zhang Anshi has slowly adapted to the current life. He lives outside the East Palace, but his brother-in-law of the prince will send people to greet him almost every day.

This made Zhang Anshi feel at ease.

It was another morning dawn.

Zhang Anshi's No. 11 days of rebirth.

He faintly felt that with his own efforts, his reputation had gradually improved.

well.

Especially at this time, you must be humble and not proud.

Today is the time for school again, Zhang Anshi set off for the school under Zhang San's arrangement.

After reuniting with Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong, Zhu Yong excitedly said: "Brother, let's see what the third brother brought here."

Zhang Anshi looked down, and saw that Zhang Fu took out a large bag of things from his sleeve, and opened a corner, revealing a ball of black things, and then immediately stuffed it back. After looking around, he started to giggle .

It's gunpowder, it's only for Shenji Battalion!

I rely on!

Zhang Anshi: "..."
