my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 58

Zhu Di was furious again: "Why the hell are you swearing? Who taught you, why didn't you learn well at such a young age?"

Zhu Zhanji was timid, lowered his head and said, "Yes... yes..."

Zhu Di restrained his temper, patted his head and said, "Okay, I'll spare you once."

At this time, Zhu Gaochi had brought the people from the East Palace to hear the news. Zhu Gaochi was very disturbed, not knowing why his father came here suddenly.

Seeing Zhu Di from a distance, he limped forward and prostrated himself in the tunnel, saying, "I have seen my father."

Zhu Di held Zhu Zhanji's hand, his face turned cold: "What were you doing just now?"

Zhu Gaochi said: "My minister is teaching Confucian classics to the audience and masters."

Zhu Di said coldly: "It's very comfortable."

"My son and minister will die." Zhu Gaochi responded with sincerity and fear.

Zhu Di said: "Your son will be starved to death by you, don't you care about the body of the emperor's grandson?"

"Ah..." Zhu Gaochi was surprised, and immediately lowered his head: "My son's crime is unforgivable..."

Zhu Di glared at him: "You may not necessarily listen to Confucian classics, that Yang Shiqi spoke very well. You should read more the memorials of Emperor Wen Jing of the Han Dynasty, and compare them with the "Han Shu"."

Zhu Gaochi said: "My son and minister are incompetent, let the emperor worry too much, it is really... ten thousand deaths..."

Zhu Di said with a stern face: "Tomorrow I will order people to also copy a copy of the reviewed memorial and send it to the East Palace. You can read it more and study hard."

Zhu Gaochi looked surprised, even flustered.

"What are you still doing?"

"Yes, yes, my son obeys the order."

Zhu Di took Zhu Zhanji and walked away.

Zhu Gaochi still knelt on the spot, dumbfounded.

Empress Xu spun two feet of yarn herself.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhu Di urged Empress Xu to leave quickly.

Empress Xu smiled and took Mrs. Zhang's hand, and said a lot, "It's a pity that the palace can't be at ease. It can't produce so many spinning machines like the East Palace. After some time, the palace will come again. After one or two times, the new spinning machine becomes familiar, and practice makes perfect.”

Mrs. Zhang said neither humble nor overbearing: "Empress mother has learned very fast. If I have free time, I will sew some clothes for empress mother and send them to the palace. I am afraid that father and empress mother will not like it."

"Why don't you like it?" Empress Xu said joyfully, "Just send it here, and I will teach His Majesty to wear it every day."

Zhu Di couldn't stand it: "Go, go, why are you so talkative."

Zhu Gaochi stood aside with his hands down, not daring to vent his breath.

Empress Xu left, and when she was leaving, she couldn't help hugging Zhu Zhanji, touched his face, tears rolled up, and kept asking: "Don't starve yourself, no matter how hungry you are, you can't starve yourself, you know? What are you doing?" It's time to miss the emperor's grandfather and emperor's grandmother, so I told your mother and concubine to teach her to take you into the palace..."

Zhu Zhanji agreed.

Zhu Di put his hands behind his back and kept his face sullen all the way. When he returned to the palace, Empress Xu looked a little tired, but she gave Zhu Di a meaningful look and said, "Your Majesty, we have a good daughter-in-law."

Zhu Di nodded, showing a look of relief: "There is also a good grandson!"

I don't know how relieved Empress Xu was, Zhu Di said gently: "Okay, your body still needs to be recuperated, go and rest first."

Empress Xu seemed to understand what Zhu Di had to do, so she left for the bedroom.

The hall suddenly fell silent.

Zhu Di just sat firmly, the expression on his face began to flicker.

His pair of eyes gradually changed from gentle to ice-like, and between his eyes, there was the sharpness of a sword drawn from its sheath.

"Come on!"

Yi Shiha stepped forward, bowed and said, "Your servant is here."

Zhu Di tapped the imperial case with his fingers to beat the beat, he mused, and the beat got faster and faster.

After a long time, he slowly said: "One: Zhang Anshi, the younger brother of the Crown Princess... Chicheng Enbo, this son... has a good sister, not to mention hearing that his father died early, it should be some rain and dew."

Yi Shiha respectfully said: "Your servant will remember."

The rhythm of Zhu Di's tapping became more and more rapid, even with an uneasy feeling: "Hua Bule...take it down immediately and send it to Beizhen Fusi without interrogation. Tell Ji Gang and give me a good rest. Castrate him several times, and execute him in the spring of the next year!"

When Yishiha heard this, his legs tightened, and suddenly he felt a phantom limb-like pain.

Yi Shiha said: "The servant obeys the order."

Zhu Di then said again: "Third: Longevity Day will be in two days, let's make it more lively, especially remember to call Zhang Anshi into the palace, this kid... I used to think he was extremely hateful, but now I think about it, no matter how bad it is, there will still be a Ministry of Criminal Justice." Are those brats in the prison bad?"

After a pause, he continued: "His sister, the princess, is sensible and righteous, so I will take advantage of the longevity banquet to help the princess discipline and beat this kid. He deserves to be rewarded, and he should be dealt with. Don't end up being as bold and reckless as Zhu Yong and Qiu Song, doing all kinds of bad things!"

"Yes."

Not long after, there was a sad scream from outside the hall, but it was Huabule's voice: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I am wronged by this servant, you are wronged... Your Majesty... forgive me."

Zhu Di just sat curled up on the throne, wrapped in long sleeves, and turned a deaf ear to it.

………………

Zhang family.

In the early morning, Yang Shiqi came here as usual.

With the mood of going to the grave, he did not start teaching immediately.

It's not because he is perfunctory about his duties, but because he knows very well that his student is probably still sleeping soundly.

So as usual, he arrived at the study first, where Deng Jian had already started drinking morning tea in a tacit understanding.

"Shi Yang said good morning."

"it is good."

"The tea is ready for you, please."

Yang Shiqi nodded and sat down.

Blowing on the hot tea, we started our daily chat.

Astronomy and geography, inside and outside the government and the field, this scholar and eunuch talk about everything.

It's not that the two people's tempers match, but that if they don't talk, they can only play with mud and count ants.

"I heard that His Majesty went to the East Palace yesterday?"

"Yes, we were surprised to see His Majesty coming down."

"I don't know..."

"Don't inquire about this, we don't dare to say these things, you will lose your head if you gossip." Deng Jian took a sip of tea and said: "Let's talk about something that can be said."

Yang Shiqi nodded, and then said: "Last time, I asked Eunuch Deng to inquire about it. I wonder if there is any news?"

"You mean Guo Degan?"

"Exactly." Yang Shiqi sighed: "This Guo Degan Shenlong sees the head but doesn't see the end. I am favored by him, and I just want to be able to visit him to thank him, but... I am ashamed to say that I have never met my benefactor so far."

Deng Jian said: "Who is Guo Degan, we really didn't find out. This person comes and goes without a trace. He is really a master. These days, I always hear you miss him, and we are also in the heart." Whispering, thinking that if we could meet each other, it would be enough to comfort us for the rest of our lives."

Yang Shiqi couldn't help sighing, disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"In a few days, our son will enter the palace, so let's put our minds on him now."

"As soon as I mentioned him, I was very worried. A few days ago, for some reason, he calmed down a bit, but after only a few days, he became old again. If His Majesty knows that he is so unbelievable, I'm afraid he will get angry. Hey ... I don't know what kind of thunderous wrath I will suffer when I enter the palace to celebrate my birthday. Once His Majesty is angry, if His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess Concubine are angered again..."

Yang Shiqi couldn't help sighing again, with a sad look on his face.

He is really not optimistic about Zhang Anshi, this...what the hell...

He has taught countless students. No matter where they go, those students are eager to learn knowledge, because knowledge is precious, and no one is so neglectful of knowledge.

Zhang Anshi is so lucky, the prince of the Tian family's relatives dotes on him very much, and the prince concubine has only him as a brother.

Just such a person, as long as he is a little progressive or normal, he will definitely be rich and honored in this life.

But now it seems... This person's temperament is similar to that of many dandy relatives in the past dynasties, and sooner or later he will cause trouble.

Just as he was talking, someone outside sang: "There is an imperial decree!"

As soon as Yang Shiqi heard the word imperial decree, Yang Shiqi's hands trembled, and hot tea was spilled on his hands.
