my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 513
The atmosphere in Wenyuan Pavilion suddenly became tense.

Seeing the situation froze.

Someone was trying to smooth things over, but it was Liu Guan.

Liu Guandao: "Gentlemen, what time is it now? It's so good, why are you still arguing? Please tell me which sentence it is. Everyone is here now, just take a look at it."

Hu Guang looked very angry, and didn't ease his face because of Liu Guan's smoothing, but just snorted coldly, noncommittal.

In fact, he has a good relationship with Jin Youzi, and it can be said that he has a long history of friendship, but the more so, the more angry he is about it.Because he thought that Jin Youzi had deceived himself and was a deceitful person.

On the contrary, Jin Youzi seemed steady, seeing Liu Guan's inquiry, he said, "In the edict, there is a sentence...that is: canonize Zhang Anshi as King of Song..."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's expressions showed strange colors.

King Song... This is the title of prince, standing shoulder to shoulder with the sons of Emperor Taizu Gao, King Zhao and King Han.

Zhang Anshi's canonization of the county king is already considered extraordinarily generous.

It's a rule breaker.

But now there is such a seal again, it is absolutely unprecedented.

In his life, Zhu Di, in the name of Jing Nan, accused Emperor Jianwen of breaking the law of the ancestors, so he became the emperor.

It is also because of this that during the Yongle Dynasty, no matter what they did, no matter whether they acted according to the ancestral system or not, at least they all acted on the signboard of the ancestral law.

Only the matter of Zhang Anshi becoming the king is simply trampling on Zhu Yuanzhang's established law blatantly.

But now, he continued to increase the weight layer by layer, and was about to be named a prince.

But when the ministers thought about it carefully, it seemed that... Zhu Di was indeed able to do this kind of grace.

After all... Your Majesty today is too special, and only he has the courage to risk the disapproval of the world. If he is an emperor of later generations, he may not have such determination.

Combined with Zhang Anshi's contribution, and Zhu Di's trust in Zhang Anshi, it can be said... the possibility is not small.

What's more, it is precisely because this is a will that this is possible.

If Zhu Di made this decree at any other time, there would definitely be ministers to persuade him.

Not to mention other people, even some academicians in Wenyuan Pavilion who are inclined to Zhang Anshi may feel that Enrong is too much and ask His Majesty to think twice.

But the difference in the edict is that the emperor is about to die at this time, no matter how unreasonable his last words are, no one will run to argue with him, let alone ask him to withdraw his orders.

What's more, this edict is the emperor's final deathbed confession, and the new emperor who succeeded the great rule definitely dare not overthrow it easily.

It can be said that this is Zhu Di's last utterance. Questioning the will is in itself overthrowing his own legitimacy.

Other things can be obeyed and violated, except for the will.

All the ministers were silent, and some people sighed... this piece of Anshi... I don't know what kind of luck it is.

There are also people who are obviously keenly aware that... things should not be so simple.

Therefore, in the silence, everyone looked at Jin Youzi one after another.

Jin Youzi continued: "The new king ascended to the pole, and Zhang Anshi was canonized as the king of Song. His eldest son, Changsheng, was the son of the king of Song, and his second son, Changnian, succeeded the prince of Wuhu County! Let him go to Xinzhou and enshrine his family temple. In the Ming Dynasty, they were as rich and honored as the imperial court."

After listening to the ministers, many people seemed to understand something in an instant.

To be a prince, and even a county king for his son, can be said to be an extremely human minister, and he has no regrets in this life.

And as a prince, naturally, like other princes, he should return to the fief and become a feudal prince.

After all, Zhu Di's two sons are already in feudal clan. His Royal Highness Song Wang has no reason to stay in the capital any longer.

This is definitely an extremely attractive will, and it can even be said... a situation where everyone is happy.

For the Zhang family, after working so hard, what else is there to pursue?Why not go back to your own vassal land and work hard to create your own vassal state, like all clansmen, expand the territory and expand the territory, and rule as the king and hegemony in the thousands of miles of blue waves overseas.

And for more people, if Zhang Anshi can leave the capital, wouldn't it be a surprise?

Once Zhang Anshi leaves, although Zhang Anshi's team is still powerful, it is impossible to continue to deepen the New Deal.

Even... the entire New Deal came to an abrupt end, which is unknown.

After all, among the New Deal, the most difficult thing to deal with is not necessarily the power of the New Deal, but... Zhang Anshi, a difficult opponent.

Zhang Anshi was like a spiritual totem, causing many people to gather around him spontaneously.

But once Zhang Anshi is lost, the situation will be uncertain.

Especially in Zhili, those people trained by Zhang Anshi have not yet entered the center and really hold great power.

To deal with these people, you only need to win over or divide, and over time, they will fall apart.

As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the emperor's grandson, there may not be no way.

All in all, at least for now, the loss of Zhang Anshi's influence can also make people breathe a sigh of relief.

Immediately, the hall became deathly silent.

After a while, someone suddenly said: "What Duke Jin said may not have been true. In my opinion, since Duke Jin has heard His Majesty's will, others have not heard it, or the other two Dukes have not heard it for a while. But that's all. After all, this is His Majesty's holy will, if you remove this holy will from the imperial edict, Your Majesty would be extremely regretful if he knew it. Since we are ministers, we should respect the holy will, how can we be careless?"

The one who spoke was Xia Yuanji, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs.

Xia Yuanji's words are not unreasonable.

One of the three people heard it, so the situation at that time was that His Majesty was really vague in his speech, and it is not surprising that some people did not hear it, but this is the holy will, and we cannot just turn a blind eye just because someone did not hear it.

As soon as these words came out, many people began to nod their heads: "Yes, yes, this is a major event, not to mention... In my opinion, His Majesty loves His Royal Highness the King of Wuhu very much, and he is still thinking of the King of Wuhu at this time. It can be seen that His Majesty loves you so much, if I and other courtiers ignore it, this... I am truly ashamed of Your Majesty's kindness..."

As they spoke, some people began to cry.

It's the way it is with this kind of thing, once someone starts to shed tears, it's a little bit unreasonable for the others not to follow suit.

So everyone shed tears.

Wiping tears, someone choked up and stood up, but it was Wu Zhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

Wu Zhong said sadly: "If it violates the holy will, isn't it a failure to live up to the holy grace? In my opinion, this item... should be added. Xie Gong, Yang Gong, Hu Gong... what do you think?"

Xie Jin said slowly; "I have never listened to the edict in front of the emperor, let's see what everyone thinks."

Yang Rong glanced at the crowd and said, "This is unheard of."

Hu Guang still had a sullen face, and his attitude was the most intense: "It's not unheard of, but there is no such sentence at all. Although His Majesty's verbal instructions are vague, every word, even if it is not clear, is just a sentence, what does it mean? I Hu Guang How can someone not know that he is not deaf yet? This is an edict!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's expression changed.

The word "Jiaozhao" is an extremely serious matter, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a blatant tear.

After all, coercion is equivalent to treason, and it is impossible for ordinary colleagues to make such accusations unless they are at the point of death.

A person who can reach the level of a Wenyuange University scholar must act prudently and think twice before acting, and it is even more impossible to adopt such fierce words.

Jin Youzi said: "What Mr. Hu means is... Jin dares to pretend?"

Under this rhetorical question, it pointed to the vital point.

That's right, this is the conferment of Zhang Anshi. Jin Youzi and Zhang Anshi have never had any kindness. Even if Zhang Anshi is Jin Youzi's own son, how could Jin Youzi be willing to take the risk of killing his family to bestow Zhang Anshi?
At least on the surface, the truth is like this.

Hu Guang was obviously very angry, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Do you think I don't know? This is an excuse to drive Zhang Anshi away. Whether Zhang Anshi is in Beijing or not has nothing to do with Hu, but Hu has never heard of His Majesty's edict. Just not! How can such things be vague... In short, this edict... was drafted by you, Jin Youzi, and has nothing to do with Hu, and it has nothing to do with Wenyuan Pavilion."

His face was flushed with excitement, and he seemed to be fighting desperately with his sleeves.

Yang Rong on the side frowned, coughed lightly, and wanted to signal something, but Hu Guang ignored it, turned his head, and said to Yang Rong angrily, "You don't need to cough, when will your cough get better?"

Yang Rong sat upright with a helpless expression on his face.

"Oh, stop arguing, stop arguing, it's this time, how can you mess yourself up? Is there anything that you can't talk about properly?" Liu Guan advised from the side.

Hu Guang said: "Then Liu Gong, you are the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the etiquette is the righteousness. You uphold the etiquette, so what do you say?"

Liu Guan pinched his beard and said slowly: "In my opinion, this one can be added to the will or not..."

"Bah!" Someone spit on Liu Guan's face, but this person was not Hu Guang, but Jin Zhong.

Jin Zhongben was already overwhelmed with grief, but at this moment he gradually tasted something, he was already panicking, but he could hold back his temper, but after hearing Liu Guanzhi's words, he finally couldn't hold back, and directly spat on Liu Guan's face.

He stared at Liu Guan, and said angrily: "Is this the way to discuss right and wrong? Such a big matter, it is okay, or it can be so vague? Since Ergong has never heard of it, why not?" Someone took the opportunity to disturb the audiovisual? Is there some conspiracy?"

Liu Guan hurriedly wiped his face in embarrassment, and said: "What kind of talk is this, what kind of talk is this, Jin Zhong, I have no grudges with you in the past, and I have no grudges with you in the present, and I even invited you to dinner, you...you... "

At this time someone said: "Forget it, forget it."

It was Jin Chun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and Jin Chun said: "Pay attention to your appearance..."

Hu Guang shouted angrily: "This is creating chaos, forming a party for personal gain."

"Who does Hu Gong say form a party?" Jin Youzi stared at Hu Guang.

"It's you!" Hu Guang glared at him angrily.

Jin Youzi said coldly: "You and I are from the same village, and I have always respected you, but you made an edict on the left and formed a party on the right. Is this what a gentleman does?"

Hu Guang looked at him with sarcasm and said, "It doesn't matter whether I am a gentleman or not, but you are a villain."

Jin Youzi said: "You have a personal enmity with Zhang Anshi, so you have to listen to Zhang Anshi's appointment as the prince, so you turn a blind eye, and abolish the public because of personal interests, you are a villain."

"Shameless!" Hu Guang roared angrily.

"You are shameless!"

Hu Guang was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to raise his fists to fight, but after finally raising his fists, he held back and waved his fists and said, "Say one more thing."

"Shameless, what, you still want to beat someone?"

"Do you think the old man dare not fight?"

"Shameless person, you can check."

"It was you who hit."

"You hit."

"I must teach you a lesson today."

"You hit."

"I... a rebellious minister and a traitor, everyone gets to punish me!"

"You are fighting!"

After all, Hu Guang put his hands down, hid them in his sleeves, and said sullenly, "I won't fall for your tricks."

Jin Youzi said indifferently: "Mr. Hu is nothing more than that."

Hu Guang snorted coldly: "These words are useless to me."

Everyone was dumbfounded, and they were so dumbfounded that they couldn't speak.

It's just that at this time, many people have realized... Next... Maybe this His Majesty has not swallowed his last breath, or... Before the bones are cold, a storm is already brewing.

…………

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Someone yelled and trotted to Wenlou in a hurry.

Walking into the side hall, the eunuch was out of breath and said, "It's... a fight, almost... a fight."

Zhu Gaochi and Zhang An Shiben were serving here, and when they heard the news, they couldn't help being stunned and said: "Who wants to fight?"

Zhang Anshi looked very excited, and said enthusiastically: "Who won?"

The eunuch took a breather, and then detailed what happened in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Zhu Gaochi: "..."

Zhu Gaochi was obviously stunned.

Zhang Anshi said quietly: "It turns out there hasn't been a fight yet."

He couldn't help feeling somewhat regretful.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were many fights between ministers, but there were not many in the Yongle Dynasty, and finally there was some movement, but the result was only thunder but no rain.

But Zhu Gaochi frowned. He was concerned about another matter, so he said, "Is there any disagreement among the academicians? Or is it about His Majesty's oral order?"

He didn't dare to say the will, as long as his father and emperor survived, it would still be an oral order.

Only then did Zhang Anshi remember that he... seems to be a prince.

But Zhang Anshi is not a fool, as a prince, he has a price.

Prince is more like a prize.

Obviously, it is impossible for His Majesty to issue such an oral order, so...there is only one possibility for such an oral order to be issued.

That is, some people hope that Zhang Anshi will become a vassal.

It has to be said that this move is very powerful, because it is for the good of the Zhang family.

How great a privilege is it to go to Xinzhou to be a tyrant and be a vassal for generations?
Zhu Gaochi put his hands behind his back, glanced at Zhang Anshi, and said, "Did this come from the mouth of the emperor?"

As he spoke, Zhu Gaochi paced back and forth, looking unsure.

Because this might really be something his father could do.

Zhu Gaochi is the most filial person, and Zhu Di's edict must be obeyed. After all...he is the successor of the Conqueror, if the edict is to be overthrown, and Zhu Gaochi is still in the edict, is it also overthrown?
Zhang Anshi suddenly said: "Brother-in-law, take a rest here, I'll go and take a look at His Majesty's dragon body..."

Zhu Gaochi frowned, he wanted to have a good discussion with Zhang Anshi, but Zhang Anshi wanted oil on the soles of his feet, so he shook his head helplessly and said: "Father is important, you go now."

Zhu Gaochi looked extremely tired, he had tossed too much today, he fell down on the chair, his expression became more and more gloomy.

Zhang Anshi has already entered the bedroom in a hurry.

At this time, there was no one in the bedroom except Zhu Di, which was what Zhu Di meant.

So when Zhang Anshi tiptoed in, Zhu Di was still lying there with his eyes closed, motionless, like a dead person.

After Zhang Anshi got closer, he saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Zhu Di remained silent.

Zhang Anshi held his temper and called a few more times in a low voice.

Zhu Di still didn't move.

Zhang Anshi had no choice but to quietly go to the couch and mutter a few words in a low voice.

These few words were like a shot in the arm, suddenly... Zhu Di suddenly sat up.

Zhu Di glared at Zhang Anshi with piercing eyes and said, "Really?"

Zhang Anshi said with a wry smile: "There is going to be a fight, everyone knows about it, how can it be false... Your Majesty... just said it seriously... Do you want to seal it?"

Zhu Di couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "You think I'm so stupid?"

"Ah... this..." Zhang Anshi couldn't help but look sad after hearing this.

Zhu Di noticed Zhang Anshi's emotions, but said: "Teach you to be a feudal lord... This must be a conspiracy, it is Jin Youzi... I really never expected... I thought...it would be Hu Guang..."

"Ah..." Zhang Anshi said in surprise, "Your Majesty is suspicious of Wenyuan Pavilion..."

Zhu Di said slowly: "The matter of alchemists...is definitely not a matter of a few ordinary officials. The people behind... are definitely not that simple. If it is really just a few thieves, a servant, and a Hanlin, How could I have endured for so long, dealing with that person surnamed Xu?"

He paused, and then said: "I originally thought that Hu Guang was the most suspicious person in Wenyuan Pavilion. Hu Guang is a man of great wisdom and stupidity, and looks like a fool, but I always feel that he may not be so simple."

"Secondly, it might be Yang Rong. Yang Rong is too smart. He is so shrewd alone... It makes people feel unfathomable and difficult to understand. That's why I have a little bit of wariness."

"But I never expected..." Zhu Di frowned deeply when he said this.

Obviously, this result really surprised him.

Zhang Anshi felt that Zhu Di's analysis just now was very reasonable, so he nodded subconsciously.

Then, Zhang Anshi stared at Zhu Di closely and asked, "Your Majesty... what should we do now?"

After a pause, Zhang Anshi said again: "My minister, Jin Yiwei can..."

Zhu Di pursed his lips, as if he was thinking about something.

Then he slowly leaned his back against the edge of the bed behind him, then took a meaningful look at Zhang Anshi, and said, "Why does Jin Youzi want to correct him? Can he really achieve his goal by correcting him? Now it seems...it seems... ...Wenyuan Pavilion does not support him..."

After Zhang Anshi heard it, his heart was shocked, and he seemed to have begun to remember it.
