my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 52 Talents

It was already late at night when Zhu Di returned to the palace.

It's just that he couldn't sleep.

Seeing him like this, Empress Xu couldn't help but said, "Is Your Majesty still worried about the disaster victims in Songjiang and Suzhou?"

Zhu Di: "..."

Zhu Di couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and hurriedly said: "Family matters, state affairs, world affairs, worry about everything, all right, go to sleep."

Although he was lying on a comfortable bed, his mind was full of thoughts. When it finally dawned, Zhu Di hurried to Wulou.

A corner of the Wenlou was burned and had to be repaired, so Zhu Di could only rest here temporarily in the Wulou.

"Tell Yao Guangxiao to come, hurry up!"

Yi Shiha listened, and dared not neglect.

Who in the palace doesn't know, it's a very urgent and confidential matter, His Majesty summoned Yao Guangxiao to discuss it.

As for general state affairs, the Wenyuange University Scholars are called to discuss.

As for those matters that are not urgent, all civil and military officials are called to discuss.

His Majesty summoned Yao Guangxiao alone today, which means that something big must happen.

In fact, Yao Guangxiao's official position is not high, he is only in charge of the monk record department of the Ministry of Rites, but the size of the official rank is meaningless to Yao Guangxiao.

He hurried into the palace, and then walked into the Wulou leisurely, with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty..."

Zhu Di waved at him: "Yao Qing's family, I have been with you for a long time."

Yao Guangxiao stepped forward, he and Zhu Di had a tacit understanding, calmly said: "Your Majesty...do you have something on your mind?"

"Let's take a look." Zhu Di said, and showed Yao Guangxiao the playing pair transcribed by the guards yesterday.

Yao Guangxiao's expression became serious, but he took these manuscripts, read them for a moment, and then showed a surprised expression: "Ah..."

Zhu Di had a suspicious look on his face, so he leaned forward too, and just looking at it...his face fell down. It was at that time that he ordered the guards to write it down verbatim. As a result...in the manuscript that was transcribed, there was a sentence at the beginning of Zhang Anshi His mother, and then Zhu Di also responded with your mother.

Zhu Di's old face trembled slightly, a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help scolding: "This group of brainless things, fuck their mother, and transcribe everything, Yao Qing's family, don't care about these things, look behind, the important thing is to look behind. "

Yao Guangxiao continued to smile, and continued to read with a smile on his face.

It's just that the back of him no longer showed any surprise, but a look of intense interest, and the more he looked... the more interested he became.

So much so that his expression became more and more serious, and even his expression began to become dignified.

After reading it once.

It seems that Yao Guangxiao felt that he was not satisfied, and read it again with ecstasy. When he put down the manuscript, he realized that he had lost his composure, and Zhu Di was staring at him at this time.

Zhu Di said: "Yao Qing's family...what do you think?"

Yao Guangxiao smiled wryly and said: "If it's just a prescription for gunpowder, I think... this Guo Degan is just a craftsman's talent, at most... he is just a skilled craftsman, so what if he is Lu Ban alive?"

"It's just..." Yao Guangxiao paused, and then said again: "The regulations proposed by this person have a lot of meaning. Is this really what a young man said?"

Zhu Di said: "Yes, I was just surprised when I first heard his rules, but after returning to the palace, I felt more and more incredible. If these rules were proposed by Yao Qing's family, or... it was Wenyuan Pavilion University. The scholar mentioned it, and I was not so surprised. But Guo Degan is a young man, how can he be so seasoned."

Zhu Di said: "Although there are some aspects of the charter he proposed that are questionable, even whimsical. But if you really want to discuss it in detail, it is comprehensive. At his age, if he can do this, he may only be 12 years old. Only Gan Luo can do it."

Yao Guangxiao nodded subconsciously: "I just saw that the performance was right, and I think so too."

Zhu Di said: "Could it be that this is really a gift from heaven to help me? Guo Degan... Guo Degan..."

As Zhu Di said, he put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth. He hadn't slept all night, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said with a little emotion: "Hey... I think of other teenagers like him, compared with Guo Degan , It’s really the difference between pearls and jade and dung.”

Zhu Di cheered up and sat down, Yi Shiha served Zhu Di a new pair of tea.

Zhu Di hugged the teacup, pondered for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and asked Chao Yishi: "How are those three dogs now?"

three dog things...

Yi Shiha immediately understood, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the three young masters are in prison, and they are quite safe."

Zhu Di snorted coldly and said, "Can you be restless in prison?"

Yi Shiha: "..."

"Has anyone visited them?"

"I heard...someone visited in the name of the East Palace."

"Zhang Anshi?" Zhu Di frowned displeased.

Yishiha said: "It should be."

Zhu Di said: "I knew that they were like dogs, and this An Shi must have a share, but... this time he was lucky enough to escape, otherwise we would wipe them all out and throw them all into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Look at these guys, no? It's all about the future, but I don't worry about it, I won't be able to eat and die, if I don't care about it, I don't know what catastrophe will happen in the future, especially with that..."

Originally, Zhu Di wanted to talk about Zhang Anshi, but after thinking about it, he felt that the worst was not his turn.

At least now thinking about it, this guy has changed from a hideous face to a handsome one.

Zhu Di then said again: "Especially that Qiusong, this son is the youngest, but his mother dares to do anything, his mother, it's really not a thing!"

Yi Shiha laughed dryly and didn't answer.

Zhu Di lost his temper, but he didn't seem to think it was interesting, so he said to Yao Guangxiao who was silent at the side: "I and Guo Degan's play is right, you take it, sort it out first, and then give me a charter, Guo Degan De Gan is right, the key to the problem lies in the mechanism.”

Yao Guangxiao said: "I obey the order."

…………

In the blink of an eye, the weather was getting colder and colder. At dawn, even the water on the Qinhuai River seemed to be frozen, and a thin layer of ice could be seen.

The willows beside the embankment also lost their branches and leaves, and became listless.

A group of ragged women were sent to Nanjing City.

Originally, Nanjing City strictly prohibited people without a guide to enter or leave, but the leader was holding the defenses of the East Palace. Now, the guards of Chaoyang Gate did not dare to stop them.

These people were dispatched into the city, all of them were sallow and thin, with withered and yellow hair. Even if they were tied up in a bun, their unkempt hair was as fluffy as dry grass.

Soon, Donggong called Zhang Anshi over.

Zhang Anshi happily arrived at the main hall of the East Palace, but when he got here, Zhang Anshi suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Zhu Gaochi was so anxious that he was about to stomp his feet, but the one standing beside Zhu Gaochi was Xie Jin.

Although Xie Jin is a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, he has a good relationship with Zhu Gaochi, and they usually have a very close relationship.

When Zhang Anshi saw Xie Jin, his face was a little ugly. He had seen Xie Jin come to find his brother-in-law many times, but Zhang Anshi's impression of Xie Jin was probably more of a pig teammate.

Zhang Anshi stepped forward and said, "Brother-in-law."

Zhu Gaochi frowned and said, "Why is it so nice? There are so many people here, and they all say... they want to come to the East Palace?"

Zhang Anshi said very calmly: "Yes, this is the maid I prepared for my brother-in-law."

Zhu Gaochi muttered, not knowing what to say.

Xie Jin smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, there are regulations for adopting maids in the East Palace, and etiquette must not be exceeded. If not... I'm afraid there will be suspicion in the palace."

Zhang Anshi said: "I spent money to buy them, and most of them are women from Songjiang and Suzhou. I heard people say that they will starve to death if they have no way out. At this time, the East Palace happens to be short of manpower. What's wrong with me buying them?"
