my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 428

Obviously, Zhang Anshi was a little embarrassed in this literary building.

Does Zhong Huiyuan have a fart relationship with him?
Now he is busy earning money and has no other time.

However, after a short refreshment, Zhu Di said, "The palace examination will be held as soon as possible, Zhang Qing, you stay here, I have something to ask you."

Zhang Anshi nodded solemnly and said yes.

Wait for all the ministers to retreat.

Zhu Di stood up, with his hands behind his back habitually, glanced at Zhang Anshi, and said, "Hey... I feel more and more exhausted these days. How is it, how is Taiping Mansion now?"

"The Taiping Mansion has been building ships day and night." Zhang Anshi paused and said, "Soon, there should be results."

Zhu Di said: "How did this ship material come from?"

Zhang Anshidao: "Qixia Commercial Bank had reserved a lot before that. It was in the fifth year of Yongle that they intentionally reserved it. At the time when Deng Jian had just set out to sea, I expected that if the imperial court wanted to open the sea in the future, there might be great things to do. But now, as expected, shipping materials are needed everywhere, and I asked the trading company to resell them, and the price... has risen quite a bit."

"In addition, in Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, when the imperial court sailed to the West, they also made a lot of ship materials, many of which are still in various official warehouses. Now...the ships sailing to the West It is enough, so many merchants went to buy it."

After Zhu Di heard this, he frowned, and said, "This boat is a good thing! Nowadays, since everyone is looking for a boat, why not let Qixia Trading Company make boats and sell them by themselves, why sell them to others? , Teach people to earn the silver for this shipbuilding."

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, not to mention that the firm should pay close attention to more important things. It is really exhausting. If you try to make any profit, it may affect your main business. Secondly, since it is the New Deal, it will To let people taste the benefits, if the benefits of the world are all monopolized by Qixia Commercial Bank, I think this will be very detrimental to the implementation of the New Deal."

"The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. If there is no profit, it is too early. Besides, the business of Qixia Commercial Bank is already big enough. Only when the world is more prosperous, Qixia Commercial Bank will benefit in the future." , will also rise with the tide, but if all the benefits are taken away, how can the world become more and more prosperous?"

After hearing this, Zhu Di nodded and said, "It's not like I don't understand anything, I just asked a question or two."

After Zhu Di finished asking what he wanted to ask, Zhang Anshi resigned.

No way, he was too busy.

But at this time, Wenyuan Pavilion was extremely lively.

Now that Taiping Mansion has been sealed off by His Majesty, the affairs that Wenyuan Pavilion has to deal with have mainly become eighteen provinces.

Although the Taiping Mansion and the Eighteen Provinces are at war with each other now, they are not eating in the same pot after all, but it is much easier.

For this year's imperial examination, the bachelors have their own views.

Hu Guang was very sorry, he deliberately asked people to find Ma Yu's papers to read.After looking at it carefully, he kept nodding his head and praised: "The younger generation is awesome, the younger generation is awesome. This kid is a great talent!"

He is really talented and learned, but you don't know it.

Yang Rong is also a scholar. Although he doesn't like the pedantry of scholars, he still has a heart of love for talents. He read it immediately and couldn't help but feel relieved: "This kind of article really makes people's eyes shine."

Hu Guangdao: "There should be more people like this in the world, so why worry about the restlessness in the world?"

Yang Rong smiled and said, "The world cannot be ruled by relying on beautiful articles."

Hu Guang's face turned blue and white immediately, he hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed quietly: "Forget it, I can't say it."

Yang Rong said calmly: "It's not that you can't speak quickly, but your own heart is like a mirror. In fact, you already know these truths, but you don't want to admit it."

Hu Guang sighed: "Mr. Yang, what I can't stand is the New Deal and the New Deal. Why do you need to kill all the scholars? People like Ma Yu, who have been in poverty for ten years, are extremely talented. I don't know how many years it takes for them to be nourished by the world." His handsome...couldn't he be tolerated too?"

"Hey... the New Deal is too urgent. You should take it slow and take a few steps. It should be better for scholars."

Yang Rong smiled again at this time and said: "The affairs of the world are nothing more than the word profit. If the new policy wants to make profits, it must strip away those who benefited in the past. Whoever gained benefits in the past will suffer under the new policy. It is an eternal truth!"

After a pause, he went on to say: "There is no such thing as having both, just like you, Mr. Hu, who want the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment, but also hope that the world will be peaceful. You and your friends still do not lose your own interests." , if so, then it is not called the New Deal, it is called immortals descending from the mundane world, and gold falls from the sky.”

Hu Guangdao: "I can't do it, I can't prevent this from happening, and I can't blame you, but..."

Hu Guang paused for a moment, looked down at the article, and then said: "But there are always people who will come later in the world. As the old saying goes, the waves of the Yangtze River push forward the waves of the past. With so many scholars like my Ming Dynasty, the future generations will be even more formidable... "

As soon as this remark came out, Yang Rong fell silent.

In Wenyuan Pavilion, he has always been better than Hu Guang.

But what Hu Guang said, it is not known whether this honest man had intentions or no intention.

But all of a sudden, the vitality of Confucianism was inadvertently shaken out.

Later people.

People like Zhang Anshi are only for a while. In history, it is not the time when Confucianism will always control the court.

From the dispute between Huang and Lao in the early Han Dynasty to the scourge of the party's imprisonment in the late Han Dynasty, it is not like that Confucianism has suffered huge blows like these years.

But what happened in the end?
In the end, Confucian education has been extensively preached, and there are countless Confucian children, many of whom are outstanding. They may not be able to do anything to you now, but in the next ten or twenty years, these outstanding talents will emerge, and there will naturally be a day of reckoning.

They will desperately enter the court, accept the emperor's conquest, and thus hold power.Will write articles and re-establish new public opinion.They will be united through various hometown and old relationships to form an invisible but real force.

In the end...everything in this world can finally return to their hands.

How many emperors and characters who made publicity for a while, didn't they all fail in the end?

Yang Rong showed a slight smile, he didn't go on, just said: "Let's wait and see."

Hu Guangdao: "As long as a hero like Ma Yu is still around, I will have no worries."

Hu Guang seemed to have sensed Yang Rong's inner loss, and he couldn't help but feel complacent.

Two months later, the Imperial Academy entered the book "The Facts of Filial Piety".

This book is based on the filial piety recorded in ancient and modern history books.The book consists of ten volumes, including [-] people who can describe their filial piety.Everything is judged and tied with poetry.

I implore the emperor to write a preface to this book himself.

To put it bluntly, this is the filial son edition of "Spring and Autumn", which promotes filial piety through stories of filial piety throughout the ages.

After Zhu Di wrote the preface, he ordered people to publish it, bestowed civil and military officials, Guozijian and Tianxia schools, and ordered people all over the world to study it.

Zhang Anshi, as the king of the county, of course also received this book, a little story of filial piety every day, it is impossible not to read it.

In ancient times, writing a book was a proof of whether an emperor was governed by literature or not. It belonged to real political achievements. As a close minister, Zhang Anshi not only had to read it, but maybe in the future, when Zhu Di mentioned the allusion, he had to be able to deal with it himself.

If not, His Majesty will be angry.

After all, this is about filial piety, and filial piety is the root of everything in the eyes of the ancients. People who are not filial are naturally disloyal, and those who are disloyal are naturally unrighteous. Unfaithful, unrighteous, and unfilial are worse than dogs.

Zhang Anshi had no choice but to read the book obediently, and had thousands of copies printed and circulated throughout the Taiping Mansion.

Zhang Anshi even wrote a post-reading essay, praising himself for crying after reading "The Facts of Filial Piety" and feeling grateful for the kindness of his parents.

It seems that Zhang Anshi still felt dissatisfied, so he played another memorial, which was also about this "Facts of Filial Piety".

A few days later, Chen Li came to see Zhang Anshi.

"Your Highness, I found out that there are indeed many scholars in Taiping Mansion who are very dissatisfied with His Highness, but most of them are talking after drinking..."

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "What do you think should be done?"

Chen Li smiled and said: "Your Highness has always been magnanimous. If it was the past, he would often ignore it."

This is the truth, Zhang Anshi is actually not a brave and ruthless person, as long as he does not commit real crimes, Zhang Anshi will generally not let Jin Yiwei touch others.

Jin Yiwei's discipline is very strict, no driving posts are allowed, and people must not be taken lightly.

So Chen Li thought that this time it should be similar.

But Zhang Anshi said: "In other places, what these people do is their business, but in this place of Taiping Mansion, if we continue to pamper them, wouldn't I, Zhang Anshi, become a bastard?"

"Bastard?" Chen Li couldn't turn the corner.

The smile on Zhang Anshi's face subsided, and he said coldly: "I built a library, read to them, served me well, took care of public security, and facilitated their transportation. Turning my head, I taught them to point at me all the time. Isn't this no different from the bastard who married a wife but the wife had an affair with someone behind her back?"

When Chen Li heard this, he immediately sharpened his sword.The king of Wuhu County cannot be a bastard. Whoever dares to green His Highness will die.

So Chen Li looked at Zhang Anshi with piercing eyes and said, "Then His Highness means..."

Zhang Anshi's words were succinct: "Catch everything in one sweep, take them all, and leave no one behind."

Chen Li immediately said bluntly: "Here!"

Immediately, hurried away.

Zhang Anshi sat down and looked at Chen Liyuan's back, thoughtfully.

After holding back for so long, now... I can finally do it.

Zhang Anshi's gaze suddenly became gloomy, changing from his previous amiable expression.

Today is different from the past, the current Taiping Mansion is his Zhang family's world, if he continues to indulge in this way, even if these people deceive people's hearts, Zhang Anshi's foundation may also be shaken.

That being the case, we had no choice but to do it.

…………

In the Forbidden City.

Zhu Di was lowering his head at this time, looking at Zhang Anshi's memorial, a smile appeared on his face.

Then, Zhu Di said: "Zhang Anshi is a filial child after all."

Yi Shiha smiled awkwardly, he can also do this kind of superficial writing, he can also write, okay.

However, Yishiha still affirmed: "Yes, His Royal Highness Wuhu County Prince is extremely filial."

Zhu Di didn't say anything more, and continued to read another memorial. After reading it for a while, he smiled and said: "This is also very good."

As he said that, he picked up the ink brush and wrote the character 'ke' on the memorabilia, before he said: "Send Wenyuan Pavilion to make an imperial edict, to draw up an edict."

Yi Shiha bowed his head and replied, "Observe the order."

Immediately, Yi Shiha went to Wenyuan Pavilion personally, and sent the emperor Zhu's memorial to Wenyuan Pavilion, and there was an imperial edict to draw up the decree, and then issued it to the Ministry of Rites.

All of this is a trivial matter not worth mentioning.

But in Taiping Mansion, something really happened.

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

All of a sudden, Jin Yiwei began to block the ferry, and then began to hunt for people according to the map.

In just one night, more than 300 scholars were all captured, but they were not sent to prison, but were directly imprisoned.

The night passed.

Many people seem to have evaporated.

It wasn't until their relatives and old friends noticed something strange and asked around, that they knew that many scholars were taken away last night.

At this time, Shihlin was in an uproar.

This time, it was more serious than before. In the past, people were often arrested because they found real evidence of crimes.

Even though many scholars appealed for their grievances, everyone knew that the other party had indeed committed a crime.

But at least for scholars, it is relatively safe to discuss and scold occasionally.

It can not only enjoy the mouthful, but not worry about punishment, but also show the strength of character.Even if they wrote articles in a strange mood, or pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, Jin Yiwei had nothing to do with them.

Scholars are very smart. In the Ming Dynasty, there were a lot of accusations against the palace, or criticisms such as using the past to explain the present. Even if there are many stories and dramas that have been handed down.

This is precisely because, in fact, Gong Zhong and Jin Yiwei are too lazy to talk to them.

But now it's different, now they directly take people, and take away so much at once, it's enough to cause panic.

At this time, there were many Juren coming to Beijing, and a large number of scholars rushed to tell each other.

All of a sudden, he went to Datian to listen.

At least at this moment, Liu Guan, Minister of Rites, was frightened.

Immediately, he went to Wenyuan Pavilion with several other ministers.

"A major event happened. This time, a major event happened. Now the capital is already in trouble. For some reason, many famous scholars have been arrested. Among the more than 200 people, there are more than 70 scholars, and the rest are innumerable. And Four, will take the high school exam, will have a palace exam soon, and will be a Jinshi, well behaved, Jin Yiwei suddenly picks someone..."

After Liu Guan came back from Jiangxi, he was much more honest than before, and he always pretended to be stupid about the affairs of the court, but this time, as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, he really couldn't sit still.

It was really too big for him to cover, and if he didn't say a word, he couldn't justify it.

After Xia Yuanji found out, he said angrily, "Jin Yiwei is so bold?"

After hearing this, Hu Guang trembled with anger: "Who gave the order?"

"Who else?" The person who spoke was the academician of Hanlin University, and he was also furious at this moment.

Yang Rong seemed calm, and said calmly: "Don't worry, take your time, Jin Yiwei, what did you say?"

"They only said that this is a major matter for military aircraft and should not be interrogated."

Yang Rong said: "Or is it His Majesty's will?"

"It's not like, it's impossible for His Majesty not to leak information about such a big matter, but if it's an ordinary Jin Yiwei, who would dare to issue such an order?"

Yang Rong lowered his eyebrows and said, "You mean His Royal Highness Wuhu County King?"

Everyone was silent.

Silence is the default.

Yang Rong's frown deepened. He has always been biased towards Zhang Anshi. This is because he can see through Zhang Anshi's essence. Not to mention the New Deal, Yang Rong feels that this may be a solution to the hidden dangers of Ming Dynasty in the future.

The most important thing is that although Yang Rong knew that Zhang Anshi was notorious, he still kept the rules. This is very important. After all, no one wants to believe that a reckless person can benefit the world.

But now...

Yang Rong remained calm, glanced at everyone and said: "Go to the audience first, state this matter, and see His Majesty's holy order."

Everyone shouted loudly: "Duke Yang has a high opinion, I should report to His Majesty to impeach Jin Yiwei!"

It was clearly asking for His Majesty's holy order, but everyone's intention turned into impeachment.

It can be seen that this time, even Jin Zhong, who is more inclined to Zhang Anshi, has provoked the anger of the public, and has been reluctant to say anything, with a dull look.

So the ministers came to Wenlou together in a mighty way.When I saw Zhu Di, I first gave Zhu Di a big gift.

Zhu Di actually got the news beforehand, so he also frowned.

He had already inquired about Yi Shiha, but there was no special news from the East Factory. Zhang Anshi's sudden madness was beyond Zhu Di's expectations.

I haven't picked up the knife yet, that guy Zhang Anshi has already hacked from the Forbidden City to the Confucian Temple?

Zhu Di was full of doubts, pondered for a moment, then said with a straight face: "Call Zhang Anshi to see him."

The eunuchs did not dare to neglect, and rushed to Qixia in a hurry.

After conveying His Majesty's oral instructions, Zhang Anshi seemed surprised.

He muttered puzzledly: "It's all right, why are you teaching me to have an audience at this time? I'm just copying the scriptures of filial piety."

But he hurried to the Forbidden City, and when he arrived at Wenlou, he saluted and said, "I have seen Your Majesty."

Zhu Di raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Anshi, seeing that his face was normal, he became even more suspicious.

Zhu Di frowned, and said without beginning or end: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Anshi said with a puzzled expression: "Your Majesty, please let me know, I don't know what's wrong."

Seeing Zhang Anshi's denial, it seemed that someone was getting angry.

However, even though he was about to move, he still tried his best to hold back.

Feeling the anger of the ministers, Zhu Di coughed and said, "Scholars, those scholars... what crime did they commit? Why are they all taken by Jin Yiwei all of a sudden?"

"So it's this." Zhang Anshi smiled, as if he couldn't feel the angry eyes of each one at all, at this moment he let out a long breath, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, this is not following His Majesty's will Act?"

Zhu Di: "..."

The officials began to whisper and looked at Zhu Di.

Zhang Anshi said at this time: "Your Majesty's will, the minister also brought it, I think...the Supervisor of Rituals, the Imperial Academy, and the Ministry of Rites must also have archives."

After finishing speaking, he took out a will, offered it with both hands, and the eunuch handed it to Zhu Di.
