my brother-in-law is the prince

Zhang Anshi entered the palace to see him.

Zhu Di's complexion was not very good.

At this time, Zhu Di was very old, but even so, he still looked at the memorials sent one by one.

He may have run out of energy, so he went through the memorials carefully.

Mostly it's just a quick glance.

Most of the time, Zhu Di would lose his mind, and he could not help thinking of the past years.

Zhang Changsheng always sat in the corner to accompany the driver.

The current Zhang Changsheng is no longer small, with a handsome face and a slender figure. He is wearing a small fish suit bestowed by the imperial court, with an embroidered spring knife on his waist, very majestic and majestic.

But when he heard that Zhang Anshi was coming to see him, he hurriedly said in fright: "Your Majesty, my subject... my subject will leave."

As he said that, he ran away in a hurry.

Zhang Anshi went inside without knowing, and when he entered the hall, he bowed to Zhu Di, Zhu Di looked at him with a smile: "Zhang Qing is going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, come on, what's the matter?"

Zhang Anshi then talked about the addition of officials and schools in the vassal state.

Zhu Di stood up, frowned and said: "The former, if Zhang Qing didn't remind me, I really didn't realize it. This is also a top priority. In the past, the vassal state only managed the affairs of the prince's mansion, and a long history mansion was enough. But now , if only rely on these officials, how to govern a vassal state? This matter must be done urgently first, let Liu Guan, Minister of Rites, draw up a constitution, and then announce it to the world."

Immediately, Zhu Di said again: "As for the latter, there is nothing wrong with adding a school...as long as the vassal state does not object, it will be fine."

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhu Di said: "The word "Shengming" is exaggerated. You brought it up, so you should be wise."

Zhang Anshi nodded.

Zhu Di said again: "A few days ago, I saw Qiu Fu. He was also old, but he was worried. Is it because his son went to sea?"

Zhang Anshi said: "General Xiaoqiu has long been determined to make contributions. This trip to the sea is an opportunity. I know his intentions, so... I chose him. After all, he is my brother, and I have to take care of my own people."

Zhu Di gave Zhang Anshi a complicated look: "But his father is very impatient."

"After the general, what's the rush?" Zhang Anshi: "Didn't General Qiu have to live and die with His Majesty in the past, so that he is what he is today?"

"You don't understand." Zhu Di shook his head and said with a bit of emotion: "As a general, I taught Qiu Song to overcome thorns and thorns, and lead horse and infantry to attack. Qiu Fu can understand the general situation. But when he goes out to sea, he is another Something happened."

In the final analysis, people at this time, after all, have an instinctive awe towards the vast ocean, even Qiu Fu, who is a military commander, cannot escape it.

Zhang Anshi said: "Someone has to go. If no one goes, then I should go."

"Okay, okay." Zhu Di pressed his hands and said: "You don't have to be tempered in this life. I told Qiu Fu the same way. He was speechless when he said it. This old guy, the more active he is, the more courageous he is. Small. But..."

Zhu Di paused, and then said: "Qiu Song is going here, thousands of miles away, but if it's just for showing off, there is really no need. I heard that the model battalion is going out with the fleet, and the cost is not small."

Zhu Di raised his concerns.

To put it bluntly, I was afraid of wasting money.

Europe is no better than the West, the benefits of the West are tangible, the distance between Daming and the West or even Tianzhu, if it is by sea, it can barely be called communication.

Even if the vassal state is divided, the vassal state can still have close contacts with Ming Dynasty.

But Europe, at least at the current speed, is still too far away. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is far away from the sky. It takes more than a year to go back and forth. up.

But if they send troops to go, even if they are divided in the future, I am afraid that no vassal king is willing to go.

Zhu Di was born as a general, and he knows the truth of making friends from a distance and attacking from a distance.Then Europe is too far away, beyond reach, and it is useless to go out.

Zhang Anshi seemed to have thought that Zhu Di would eventually say something like this, but he said calmly and calmly: "Your Majesty, the barbarians there are not convinced by the king, not to mention that they are invited to send troops this time, but they are actually just going to help the battle. I will take this opportunity to train soldiers." Ma. Although I have a navy in Ming Dynasty, I have no actual combat other than killing pirates. This fight against pirates...is not a real naval battle. Over time, the pirates fought more and more, which not only made the soldiers more and more arrogant. The navy is invincible in this way. On the other hand, it is also taking this opportunity to go deep into Europe, as a pioneer, and pave the way for the future."

After Zhu Di heard this, his frowning finally eased a little, and he nodded and said, "It's right to plan ahead."

He wanted to say a few words or spend too much money.

But in the end, he didn't say it out loud. After all, Zhang Anshi's ability to make money is also top-notch.

Alas, the older a person is, the more stingy he is.

Zhu Di sat down tremblingly, his hands were trembling, and he said with a smile: "Over the past year, I feel that the dragon's body is not as good as before. Some immortals say that this is caused by overwork, and I should take a good rest. , keep it up, but where can I let it go?"

Zhang Anshi had already seen that Zhu Di's condition was not very good, his expression became a little more concerned, and said: "Your Majesty should take good care of your body, I see Your Majesty..."

Zhu Di didn't seem to be patient to listen to this, so he pressed his hands and said, "It's okay, I did have many old diseases when I fought in the South and the North, and I didn't feel anything when I was young, but now that I am old, they burst out all at once. On my side... ...cough cough..."

Zhang Anshi couldn't help feeling depressed, but didn't know what to say.

After Zhu Di coughed a few times, the tiredness on his face became more obvious, and he said: "You should be busy with your business, don't delay the important matter, I am not in good health, but I need the crown prince to help you all the more, so don't delay it. "

Looking at Zhu Di's face, Zhang Anshi felt a little uncomfortable, but he had no choice but to say: "Yes, I obey the order."

In fact, he wanted to say something, but he hesitated, but in the end he obediently resigned.

When Zhang Anshi left, Zhu Di couldn't help panting heavily, probably because he had been holding it in for a long time, and it took him a long time to slow down, and then he said to Yishi beside him: "Take...take the medicine."

Yi Shiha nodded, couldn't help but glanced at Zhu Di worriedly, and then hurriedly said: "My servant is going to find the gods to get the medicine."

After two sticks of incense, Yi Shiha left and came back out of breath.

Then, a elixir that was still warm appeared in front of Zhu Di's eyes, and Zhu Di swallowed it in one gulp, and Yi Shiha took warm water from the side, and Zhu Di drank the warm water in one gulp.

After sitting upright for a while, Zhu Di's complexion started to turn a little rosy, and his complexion looked much better.

"This god is somewhat useful." Zhu Di said slowly.

Seeing that Zhu Di's face turned better, Yi Shiha also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with an apologetic smile, "My maidservant thinks that His Royal Highness the Prince of Wuhu County is more intelligent."

"This is different." Zhu Di said: "Zhang Qing is a minister, although he is also good at gold and stone techniques, but in the end, his mind has to be on the government, and he has enough things to do."

Yi Shiha said: "Your Majesty is too sympathetic to His Royal Highness Wuhu County King."

Zhu Di pondered and said: "These two real people have done a lot of service. They have worked so hard to practice such an immortal medicine. I should not be stingy. After some time, choose a good and auspicious day to issue an order and seal them."

Yi Shiha said: "I don't know... why the imperial seal..."

Zhu Di stood up with his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth. His complexion became better and his voice became louder than before.

Therefore, he raised his voice and said: "One is Jiutian Jinque, Qingweidong, Xuanchong, Xuanmiao, Merciful Hongen, and the other is Jiutian Yuque, Gaoming, Hongjing, Chongzhan, Miaoying, Renhui, Hongen, how about it?"

Yi Shiha said: "Your Majesty has such great love, if they know about it, they will definitely be grateful."

In Daming, to be granted the title of Daoist is almost considered complete.

This real person is a first-class person, and the imperial court not only provides rice and grain, but also builds mansions for him.

Zhu Di thought for a while, and then said: "Such a title is still lacking after all. These two brothers are people who have attained the Tao, so why not... just title them "Nine Heavens Golden Que, Ming Dao, Dade, Great Immortal, Appearing Spirit Puji" Qingweidongxuanchongxuanmiaofeeling kindness protects the country and protects the people Hong Enzheng" and "Nine Heavens Jade Que Xuanhua Helps Education Shangxian Zhaoling Bodhisattva Gaoming Hongjing Chong Zhanmiaoying Benevolence assists the country Blessing the people Hongen Zhenren""

Even though they are both real people, the level is very different from Qingwei Dongxuan to Dao Dade Da Da.

Yi Shiha couldn't remember it for a while, but he didn't dare to ask, so he could only say: "Yes, Your Majesty, this servant has remembered."

Then Zhu Di waved his hand and said: "Okay, go and rest, I want to take the medicine."

Yi Shiha listened and left quickly.

When Yishiha left the Wenlou, a little eunuch hurried over.

The little eunuch said in a low voice: "Grandpa, His Royal Highness Wuhu County King is waiting for you at the Meridian Gate."

Yi Shiha was taken aback, didn't Zhang An Shi have already resigned from the palace?Why haven't you left yet?
Immediately, Yishiha didn't dare to be negligent, and hurried to the Meridian Gate, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Anshi waiting for him under the wall, and the other eunuchs and guards watched one by one, but they didn't dare to ask.

Yishiha stepped forward, Zhang Anshi looked at him with a smile, Jiao Yishiha's hairs stood on end.

Yi Shiha calmed down and said with a dry smile: "His Royal Highness Wuhu County King, you are..."

Zhang Anshi said: "Ask my father-in-law something."

Yi Shiha said: "Your Highness, it's okay to ask, we naturally know everything, and we can talk endlessly."

At this moment, Zhang Anshi was subconsciously solemn, and said: "I just want to ask you, Your Majesty, how come the dragon's body is not in good shape all of a sudden?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Shiha's face changed slightly, but he began to hem and haw.

You know, to inquire about the dragon body is a very serious problem.

The emperor's physical condition is very sensitive in itself, if other people dare to ask easily, it will inevitably make people suspect that there is some conspiracy.

Of course, Zhang Anshi wouldn't cause this, but... Zhang Anshi should ask him face to face, why would he be wrong to ask him?
Yi Shiha felt very embarrassed, thought for a while and said: "This... this... Your Majesty should just be old. Oh, look at our mouth, can you say this? Your Majesty's body is healthy and happy. He is still growing, he is long live."

Zhang Anshi slightly hooked the corner of his lips, looked at Yishiha with a half-smile, and watched his performance.

Yi Shiha said: "Why is your Highness asking this?"

Zhang Anshi was honest, and said bluntly: "A few days ago, Jin Yiwei reported some things, saying that the palace... picked up two gods, I didn't take it to heart at the time, our Ming Dynasty... has a lot of talented people Is... isn't it all for playing this?"

The aliens Zhang Anshi mentioned were actually Yao Guangxiao and Jin Zhong.

These two are also a monk and a Taoist, both are Zhu Di's most powerful left and right arms. Zhu Di has been surrounded by such a group of people for a long time, and these are all capable people, and their level is better than those who came from the imperial examination. There are many people.

In fact, this is also understandable. After all, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the world had just experienced a great chaos. Many capable people chose to add a monk or Taoist status to themselves in order to avoid military disasters and for the convenience of traveling around. .

It is precisely these people who travel the world, who are both knowledgeable and deeply aware of the sufferings of the people, so they often show extraordinary talents.

Yishiha laughed dryly and said: "This... this... there are some things that we can't say, Your Highness, why do you bother to ask this?"

Zhang Anshi frowned and said: "I saw that His Majesty's complexion turned gray, it seems that there is..."

Yi Shiha hurriedly waved his hands and said, "You can't talk nonsense, you can't talk nonsense!"

Zhang Anshi didn't seem to be as patient as usual today, but he raised the decibel and said, "I just want to ask you, who are these two so-called gods, and what did they eat for His Majesty?"

Yi Shiha was taken aback, and looked around. Fortunately, the other people were some distance away from them, as if they didn't hear what Zhang Anshi said just now.

But under Zhang Anshi's stare, Yi Shiha felt that he couldn't hold on anymore, so he said cautiously: "A few days ago, Your Majesty felt a little uncomfortable..."

Zhang Anshi immediately said: "Since you are not feeling well, why didn't you look for me?"

Yi Shiha said: "Your Majesty is worried that His Highness will not be able to separate himself, Your Highness... there will be too many things to ask at that time..."

Zhang Anshi pursed his lips and said, "And then?"

Yi Shiha said: "So he ordered the Minister of Rites to look for strangers, His Majesty was thinking that the imperial doctor might have no hope, or a half-baked person like His Highness... no, His Highness... a person who is like Wenchangxing descended to earth. The servant searched for a year, and said in a memorial: Fujian people worshiped Xu Zhier and Zhijiao in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and their gods are the most spiritual. So His Majesty Long Yan was very happy, and he called two Taoists. These two Taoists... entered the fairy medicine, and His Majesty took it Yes, I am really in good spirits.”

Zhang Anshi frowned and said, "Did you feel energetic when you ate it, but slowly, your body became weak again?"

Yi Shiha looked at Zhang Anshi with some surprise, and then said: "This... this... there is such a situation, the servant girl actually persuaded him at the beginning, once there was blood in your majesty's sputum, the servant girl said: this phlegm The disease of fire deficiency and inversion is actually caused by taking immortal medicines. As a result, His Majesty was furious and cursed: I don’t accept the immortal medicines, I take ordinary medicines. So the servants dare not talk too much. But no matter what I say, the immortal medicines are indeed It will be effective after taking one dose, which is really extraordinary."

After Zhang Anshi heard this, Jun's eyebrows frowned even deeper, but he just said: "Got it."

Seeing Zhang Anshi's appearance, Yishiha became worried, and said, "Your Highness...there will be no problem with this medicine?"

Zhang Anshi actually said directly: "There must be a problem."

"Ah...this..."

Zhang Anshi said: "You have to persuade Your Majesty when you turn around."

"Slaves dare not persuade you." Yi Shiha said with a bitter face, "Your Highness is not ignorant of His Majesty's temper. This matter... Your Highness should go down and take care of it."

Zhang Anshi was furious, glared at him angrily and said, "You don't dare, but teach me?"

Yi Shiha: "..."

Zhang Anshi thought for a while and said, "Just wait, I'll hurry back and discuss with my brother-in-law."

He also nodded.

Zhang Anshi wasn't in the mood to chat with him, so he turned around and walked away.

…………

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law... do you believe in ghosts and gods?"

Prince Zhu Gaochi said in his bedroom, "A gentleman believes in ghosts and gods and stays away."

Zhang Anshi felt that this remark...was a bit perfunctory, it was obviously Kong Shengren's set of words that jumped up and down.

Immediately, he asked the Crown Princess Zhang at the side.

Mrs. Zhang said with a bit of piety: "I believe, of course I believe! If not, how can I pray to the gods of the heavens all day long, to bless you all in peace, and to turn evil into good luck?"

Zhang Anshi immediately said: "Sister, this is your fault. People live in this world, and even people may not be able to believe everything. How can they believe in ghosts and gods? No wonder Zhan Ji often said that sister is confused."

Zhang's face suddenly turned frosty.

Zhang Anshi shook his body, and hurriedly said: "This is what Zhan Ji said, and I may not believe all of his words."

Mrs. Zhang said with a serious face: "If you don't believe me, then how can my brother who has been a fool since he was a child, get enlightened all of a sudden? So what... I was still a fool in the past, but in a blink of an eye... suddenly I am capable of writing, martial arts, and capable. Such a thing happened? I'm not being arrogant, but I don't know what kind of person my brother is?"

Zhang's repeated questioning made Zhang Anshi speechless.

Mrs. Zhang continued: "What does this mean? It means that this is the blessing of the gods, and it is the heaven who has pity on our Zhang family, which taught you to change your bones. Then tell me, should I believe in ghosts and gods?"

Zhang Anshi felt guilty all of a sudden, with a bit of confidence: "Actually... it may be... it may be... I was relatively low-key when I was young, and I didn't want to show my talent...so I deliberately hid my clumsiness..."

Mrs. Zhang said abruptly: "That's good, why are you asking this?"

Zhang Anshi had no choice but to say disgruntledly: "I entered the palace today, and saw that His Majesty's complexion was not good. I later found out that these days, His Majesty has been taking the pills practiced by those two pretenders. I'm not worried..."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi and Mrs. Zhang frowned in unison.

Zhang said: "This kind of monster will definitely bring disaster to my palace."

Zhang Anshi was shocked, and said, "Don't you believe this too, sister?"

Mrs. Zhang said angrily: "I believe in heaven and gods, not people who claim to be gods! Those who claim to be gods and practice any kind of panacea are probably evil people."

Zhang Anshi felt that the image of this elder sister suddenly became quite tall, and couldn't help but said: "Sister still understands righteousness."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked at Zhu Gaochi eagerly.

Zhu Gaochi said with a bit of worry: "Your sister always has an idea, and what she said is very insightful. Since she said this, it is really time to worry."
