my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 407
At this moment, Liu Zhan seemed extremely excited.

He pulled himself together and began to talk.

"Your Majesty, water can carry a boat or overturn it. Why does Your Majesty turn a deaf ear to what the people want? The ancient sages always cared about the lives of the people. Your Majesty is the Nine-Five-Year Honor. On the body, it can be said that the army and the people are attached to it, and the officials look forward to it..."

He spoke very emotionally, and as he spoke, his eyes turned red.

Seeing this, Zhu Di remained silent, but did not refute him.

When the words were spoken, the hall was surprisingly quiet.

Today, the Hanlin scholars who were talking about looked at Zhu Di one by one.

At this moment, Zhu Di sighed and said, "What the Qing family said is not without reason."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of many people began to ease slightly.

The atmosphere has changed. From Zhang Anshi being crowned king, to hearing that the bank seems to be unwilling to lend money to merchants. In fact, many people have a premonition that the New Deal may encounter huge troubles.

At this time, it is the time when the wall is falling and everyone is pushing. If you don't do it now, when will you wait?

Therefore, Liu Zhan put on an appearance of righteous speech.

Zhu Di had a smile on his lips.

"People's opinion is like running water, which is not good." Zhu Di said casually: "Everyone talks about what the people want, but who is the people? There are tens of thousands of people in the world, and everyone has what they need. I listened to what you said today. I can accept it, but..."

"Your Majesty." Liu Zhan said: "What I say is from the bottom of my heart, and what I do is exactly what I have done, and I have absolutely no selfish thoughts. These days, the reports from various prefectures and counties are obviously seen by Your Majesty. Your Majesty has I never thought about why there was a civil uprising in Jiangxi Chief Envoy? After all, it was not because of..."

When he said this, he originally attributed this major treason case to Zhu Di's mistakes in governance over the years.

But at this moment, Zhu Di, who was looking at Liu Zhan with a smile just now, suddenly turned cold.

Liu Zhan only felt that Rumang was on his back, and at this moment, he seemed to realize that he had offended Ni Lin.

Immediately, he immediately swallowed back the words that followed.

Zhu Di said indifferently: "Okay, the words of Qing and others are not unreasonable. Of course, I want to speak out widely, and I want to think about the people and the common people in the world. I am tired today, so let's talk about it next time."

Liu Zhan felt relieved. He didn't expect that His Majesty has such a good temper today. If he knew this, he should have spoken more seriously just now, but he missed a good opportunity.

There are two kinds of officials in the Ming Dynasty, one is Zhuoliu, the so-called Zhuoliu is to try every means to complete the emperor's confession, so as to obtain the emperor's approval.

The other is Qingliu, which is nothing more than jumping on the emperor's bottom line, mastering the acceptable speed of an emperor, and criticizing a few current problems every day. In this way, he can gain a huge reputation.

Such people, many important ministers who love fame, are also willing to support them, so as to gain a good reputation.

Liu Zhan couldn't help feeling a little regretful in his heart at this time, but he also knew that enough was enough.

It has to be said that he has gained a lot today. At this time, everyone has begun to speculate whether His Majesty really intends to compromise.

How to test the next step, but there is no rush.

Not long after, the ministers dispersed.

Zhu Di was still sitting here, with no expression on his face.

Yi Shiha bowed and handed him tea carefully.

Zhu Di took the hot tea, and said suddenly: "Dibao..."

"Your Majesty, what did you say?"

Zhu Di calmly said: "Today, Liu Zhan and other scholars' words should be circulated and copied in the mansion newspaper, and let others publish it."

"The slaves obey the order."

Zhu Di immediately said: "This Liu Zhan is a man who can speak well. He speaks very well, and I appreciate it very much."

Yi Shiha laughed dryly: "This man dares to speak."

"Yes." Zhu Di said: "The most lacking thing in the world is people who dare to speak up and speak up, which is easier said than done. How about this, pass on a copy of Liu Zhan's words, send them to the Imperial Academy, and teach the Imperial Academy how to deal with them." On the other hand, based on his words, some articles were derived, and they were also published in the newspaper."

Yishiha said, "Who is the right person to ask to write the article?"

Zhu Di said slowly: "If Xie Jin is still there, it would be best to let Xie Jin write the article."

Yi Shiha looked hesitant and said: "Your Majesty means...the Wenyuan Pavilion..."

Zhu Di said: "They work very hard, so don't let them be distracted. Could it be that I am a Ming Dynasty, and there is no one who is proficient in writing and can write beautiful essays?"

After a pause, Zhu Di went on to say: "Look... that... that... what is it called... By the way, the guy who gave a report on the abuses of the New Deal a few days ago is very good. The report is very good, He is a man who has read poetry and books and is full of economics."

Yishiha smiled and said: "I understand, I will do it now."

…………

Someone took a copy of the residence newspaper and delivered it to a certain deep house overnight.

"Haha, gentlemen, let's take a look. The mansion newspaper that will be published tomorrow is the original manuscript of the mansion newspaper, which has not yet been published! However, this mansion newspaper was personally ordered by His Majesty."

Everyone circulated it one after another, all with smiles on their faces.

"What do you guys think?"

"Haha... there is hope."

“How come you see?”

"I looked at Qixia, something big happened. Look at those merchants, howling, I'm afraid that the harm of the new policy has already appeared. But at this time, His Majesty suddenly accepted Liu Xueshi's advice, and now It’s also telling people to publish this article to announce it to the world, isn’t the intention obvious? This is blowing the wind!”

"I look like it too."

"Ah."

Someone stood up, bowed to a person deep in the hall, and said with a flattering expression: "Wu Gong's article is really amazing, and I admire it."

The person only smiled lightly, and said with neither joy nor sadness: "However, it's ridiculous. To be honest, I didn't expect that His Majesty would order me to write an article. But..."

He paused, walked to the window sill, looked out of the window with an old face, leaving only a side face, he said slowly: "Next, I don't know if we will continue to investigate this Jiangxi case."

"There must be more investigations. Even if His Majesty may not take it to heart, Jin Yiwei is like a vicious dog, and he will definitely not let it go."

"Hey..." The human said: "This is going to make people die! No matter what, let's continue to take this opportunity to make this Taiping Mansion chaotic. The more chaotic they are, the less they can care about other things, and gentlemen, it's time Get ready, while they are in a hurry, hurry up and get rid of the relationship."

Everyone said yes.

"Then our arrangement at Qixia, will we continue?"

"Continue!" The man said decisively: "Not only that, but we have to increase it layer by layer! Only in this way can we teach people about the harm of the New Deal. Besides, the more we do, the more we teach He, Zhang Anshi, took care of one thing and lost another, and did nothing."

"Very good!"

After everyone said yes, they sat around and drank tea.

In the capital, Confucianism is very popular, many scholars, even ministers, will hold some banquets and tea parties to discuss Confucianism.

……

"Mr. Zhou is here."

Mr. Zhou came here in style, with a smile on his face.

He is very familiar with Qixia, as a great Confucian, he has been entrusted by many people to give lectures in various schools.

He has a detached demeanor, coupled with his great reputation, he can always talk freely, so wherever he goes, he will be warmly welcomed.

Some schools also hope to use this to gain some fame from famous Confucian scholars. After all... If they can invite famous Confucian scholars to come here, even if it is just for a class, it will be of great benefit to the reputation of the school.

This Mr. Zhou can not only get a lot of money, but he is also admired by everyone, so he is willing to come.

Of course, even though the person who invites him is like Mu Chunfeng, he always looks arrogant and arrogant, even if it is just to say hello, he just nods slightly.

From his point of view...the whole Qixia Academy is an unworthy figure, if someone asked him to come here to impart more serious knowledge and educate the ignorant business people in Taiping Mansion, he would still be a little reluctant to come here.

At this time, the classroom of Nuo University was already full of students who came to observe.

Everyone only knew that Mr. Zhou was very powerful, and they all wanted to join in the fun.

The teachers and students in the school stood on the side of the classroom one by one.

Mr. Zhou is seated this week.

Someone brought him tea.

He also just glanced at it lightly, cleared his voice, and said: "Whenever you teach knowledge, you must ask questions first. If you don't, it's not good to talk about it in a big way. Let's talk about it today. , Lanxi Wu Gong's "Respecting the Hometown Record". All the teachers and students were confused.

What is the name of "Respecting the Hometown"?
Lanxi Wu Gong...

Mr. Zhou pursed his lips and smiled, and he couldn't help saying proudly: "Lanxi Lord Wu has always been admired by the world. A few decades ago, there were only three people who could equal his fame. His knowledge is so great that people admire him so far."

Seeing that everyone did not respond.

Mr. Zhou said: "It is beneficial for you to read more books of sages. Could it be that you don't even know the name of this Lanxi Lord Wu? Idle learning is not a proper job after all, just like..."

Suddenly someone said abruptly: "Just like the Taiping Mansion's New Deal, is it a crooked way, going astray?"

Mr. Zhou looked at one of the students and said calmly, "Huh? This statement...is not unreasonable..."

There was an uproar in the classroom.

Even the teachers who came to teach with respect from Xueli looked at each other with meaningful expressions.

The students began to whisper.

Mr. Zhou coughed again, as if he wanted to suppress these discordant sounds.

What was ushered in was more whispers.

Someone stood up and said, "Mr. Zhou, since the New Deal has disadvantages... Then Mr. Zhou, please tell us, what should we learn?"

"Confucian classics!" Mr. Zhou said decisively.

The man said: "But why didn't I learn Confucian classics when there was no new policy?"

"It's my business to do learning."

"I don't see it right. Without the New Deal, I would not be able to read. Now that the New Deal is in place, I can read and read. Is it better for me to be illiterate, or better to read and write?"

"Reading miscellaneous books is worse than having no books." Mr. Zhou felt the other party's provocation.

He suspected it was intentional.

But at this time, his face was ashen, and he wanted to leave in a huff.

"I think this study of Confucian classics is a crooked way. It only teaches people like Mr. Zhou, and they talk all day long." Someone shouted loudly.

Everyone laughed.

Mr. Zhou was furious. He immediately stood up and said with a flick of his sleeves, "It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable. Is this how you treat guests? It's ridiculous, ridiculous!"

In the past, he had given lectures in various schools, and what he said was too profound. In fact, everyone only understood half of it, but no one dared to question him.

But today, Mr. Zhou smelled an unusual atmosphere.

"Absurd, I think you are absurd!" Another person shouted: "You have taken so much money for traveling, but you are lecturing on the record of respecting the countryside. You also taught me not to read, and it is not easy for me to wait for my parents to provide us with reading. Now you I know you, you scolded the New Deal everywhere in Qixia, and said that the New Deal is bad, I just ask you if you are right?"

Mr. Zhou said shyly and angrily, "So what?"

This sentence, everyone finally understands, it is not like those jerky and difficult to understand things that make people feel admiration and want to doze off at the same time.

At this time, someone shouted: "Don't let him go, beat him."

As soon as the order was given, Mr. Zhou thought he had heard it wrong.

The pupils in his eyes shrank, and before he could react, the crowd rushed up.

Ahhh.

Somebody threw a punch, and Mr. Zhou suddenly fell to the ground straight.

Immediately afterwards, fists and kicks like raindrops hit Mr. Zhou.

…………

There was chaos in the classroom.

A teaching assistant hurriedly found the head of the school.

The schoolmaster was leisurely drinking tea with others in his private room.

"We're fighting." The assistant coach whispered.

"En." The headmaster nodded lightly and said, "It's a lot of trouble, isn't it?"

"Very powerful." The teaching assistant said, "I'm afraid that the young man's attack will not be serious."

"This is not our business." The headmaster looked a little cold, and he said: "If he really died in our school, I will take care of it. Today... is to teach him to die!"

The teaching assistant nodded: "I heard... now it's all starting to make trouble."

The schoolmaster said lightly: "Understood."

Immediately, he became a little annoyed: "These people... spent a lot of money on weekdays, asking everywhere, and they were invited here. They originally wanted to add color to the school, but who knew that these people... took this opportunity to slander and abuse everywhere. .Now that I think about it, I'm so confused, I spent money to invite these people to scold me, despicable!"

After he complained, he continued: "Today... the school has a day off, everyone... let's take a rest."

The assistant nods.

……

One by one, the workshops have begun to rest one after another.

Not far from the city of Nanjing, there is a tea shop.

In the tea shop, a lot of scholars gathered, a group of scholars in shawls and Confucian shirts gathered together, drank tea, and inevitably talked about the past and the present together.

Today, it is still the case.

After all, scholars don't do production, and they have free time every day, so they can't help talking more intensely.

Just as everyone was talking cheerfully, there was a sudden noise outside.

A group of people suddenly rushed to the outside of the tea shop, and someone shouted and asked: "These days, the scholars who go around printing the king of Wuhu County and wronging the country and people are here?"

Dr. Cha was so excited that he shouted, "It's up there. Those articles on the street are all written by them. They are the ones who slander the king of Wuhu every day and say that the king of Wuhu eats dung."

After the voice fell, the cheerleaders rushed in one by one.

Immediately, there was a cry from inside: "What are you going to do, what are you going to do? Is this still a place where the king's law exists? Wait...wait...ahah..."

Most of these people are powerful and powerful, and there are even many people whose faces are as black as coal, as if they were picked up from a pile of coal, but they are extremely powerful, and at this time they are filled with righteous indignation. Call again and again.

…………

Confucius Temple in Nanjing City.

Someone has already started erecting the shed directly.

Somebody started giving out excellent booklets printed, and in these booklets, they were all printed overnight.

Seeing this, some scholars came forward to welcome them, and when they saw the booklet, they were furious: "It's ridiculous!"

As soon as he scolded, a crowd of people swarmed forward, and they were not polite, and punched them head-on.

The man covered the blood on his face and shouted, "Are you going to kill someone?"

"Kill, kill. If you don't teach us how to live, you won't be able to live!"

The scholar was horrified, he saw murderous eyes all over the streets and alleys.

Without saying a word, he immediately fell to the ground and shouted, "Ah, ah... I'm dead, I'm dead..."

…………

In the model camp.

A memorial has been sent to Zhang Anshi quickly.

Zhang Anshi only glanced at it lightly, then threw it away.

"These guys... are too gentle. Why are they still like this after making trouble for so long?"

It was Chen Daowen who delivered the report, and Chen Daowen said: "Your Highness, it's just the beginning. Isn't this a warm-up first? As far as I know, the craftsmen and labors from the various mines and workshops have not yet arrived. They It's too far away...it takes some time to travel."

Zhang Anshi said dissatisfiedly: "I'm going to be impatient. This kind of thing is not embroidery, it's slow and gentle. That's right, there are people making trouble everywhere now. I think... this king should protect the court as soon as possible." Zhong Zhugong. Others can’t care about it, but if something happens to you, it will be terrible. It’s not that there is a bachelor attendant who gets the limelight when he speaks, called... what is it called..."

"It's called Liu Zhan."

"Yes, that's him." Zhang Anshi continued: "Choose a school lieutenant to guard his mansion, and tell everyone that this is a big man who is famous all over the world, denounces the New Deal in front of the emperor, and must be well protected Let him get hurt, let alone disturb his family. We, Jin Yiwei, have a duty to protect Mr. Liu."

Chen Daowen said with a grin: "I'm protecting, I'm protecting. I sent a person to his house a long time ago, and even posted a notice on the gate of his house. It is Wei Zheng who dares to stand before the imperial court to say that Mr. Liu speaks uprightly." I reprimand Your Highness, if someone dares to rush in and make trouble, Jin Yiwei... will definitely not take it lightly."

Zhang Anshi nodded: "Well, that's good. I'm relieved to hear you say that."

"But... Your Highness... here..."

Chen Daowen took out a roster: "These people... are also like Liu Zhan, should they be protected in case of accidents? They are all people who love the people like children..."

Zhang Anshi waved his hand: "Go, go, I don't want anyone to bleed and get hurt!"
