my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 80
Chapter 80:

Zhu Di asked, "Is there any result?"

"Yes." Liu Kuan said: "This Shen family is a family of good deeds. It has always followed the rules. This man named Shen Jing has always been honest and kind to others. He farmed and studied at home. In previous years, he built bridges and repaired roads to help the poor people around him. He is called good. People call him Shen Shanren."

After a pause, Liu Kuan said again: "This Shen Shan is knowledgeable and reasonable, he is indeed a good man."

It seems that Liu Kuan didn't notice that Zhu Di's face was already pulled down.

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "His family's Zhuangzi is so big, where does the money and food come from?"

Liu Kuan said: "The Shen family originally had more than [-] mu of fertile land, and had several generations of family business. The Shen family has been diligent and thrifty for several generations, so they saved money and food, and built such a village, but..."

He didn't continue to say the following words, but the meaning was obvious... It was just a good thing, being blown up by someone, it was a disaster without reason, it was really painful!

Zhu Di pursed his lips, and he didn't seem to find anything wrong, just faintly, he felt something was wrong.

But he didn't show his face, he just said lightly: "I know."

Wait until the minister retreats from the screen.

Zhu Di raised his head and glanced at him in disbelief, and said, "Has Jin Yiwei checked the situation at the Shen's house?"

Yi Shiha hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei did not report this. After all, the Shen family is an ordinary citizen and has no official position, and Jin Yiwei's duty..."

Needless to say, Zhu Di understood what Yi Shiha meant.

Jin Yiwei Commander Ji Gang is a person who understands the rules, he only manages what should be managed, and will never interfere with what should not be managed.

Zhu Di thought for a while, and said, "Ji Gang is right. Such a precedent cannot be set. Once this example is set, there will be endless troubles."

Once Jin Yiwei is allowed to intervene in such an ordinary case, then Jin Yiwei will replace the Sanju, and his power will be infinite.

At this time, Zhu Di seemed to have thought of another thing, and said again: "How many Zhang Anshi are there, are you still honest?"

"It's honest, we get together every day and tinker with things."

Zhu Di frowned: "Didn't study?"

"Did not go."

Zhu Di's brows obviously wrinkled deeper: "Why?"

Yishiha said truthfully: "I have been there, but Guozijian Jijiu said that they have already left their teachers, so there is no need to go again."

Zhu Di said angrily, "Hu Yan, what does this mean?"

Yishiha smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Hu has no desires."

Hearing these words, Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help but laugh.

That's right, Hu Yan was born as the No. [-] scholar in the imperial examination, which was a remarkable qualification in the early Ming Dynasty.

However, compared to the cabinet ministers who were born in Jinshi in Wenyuan Pavilion, the reason why Hu Yan is still offering wine to the Imperial College is because he is not very keen on fame and fortune.

Such a person, you really can't do anything about him, if you don't want to be strong, can you still put a knife on his neck and beg him to make progress?

Zhu Di said, "I know."

Just as he was talking, an eunuch came in to report: "Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Han is asking to see you."

After hearing this, Zhu Di nodded, "Call me in."

Not long after, Zhu Gaoxu stepped on brisk steps, walked in happily, and first saluted: "Father..."

Zhu Di closed his eyes and looked at Zhu Gaoxu: "What's the matter, are you so happy today?"

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: "I have a friend who has both ability and virtue. I am overjoyed to find such a good friend."

But Zhu Di said: "Really? It's rare that you still put your mind on this, but it's true that a confidant is hard to find. It's just that your imperial brother was assassinated just now, so you're still happy?"

Zhu Gaoxu: "..."

The East Palace has reported the assassination, and Zhu Di ordered Jin Yiwei to investigate.

Zhu Gaoxu's mind turned quickly, and he said with a dry smile: "My son is actually worried about the emperor's brother, but I heard that the emperor's brother is fine, so I didn't take it to heart. At the time of Jingnan, life and death were always on the line. It's nothing."

Zhu Gaoxu's words, Zhu Di actually agrees.

Zhu Di felt that his son could not be cowardly, and that assassinating him was nothing, but it was the prince who killed him instead, which made people look at him with admiration.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "Your Majesty, I just went to see my mother."

After hearing this, Zhu Di became concerned, and said, "What are you doing after seeing your mother?"

"Of course it's to say hello, but my son made an unfeeling request to the queen mother."

Zhu Di said: "Speak up if you have something to say."

Zhu Gaoxu said happily: "Isn't my sister Jingyi still unmarried? Now that I have reached the age of marriage, I am thinking that I have to find him a good husband with both ability and integrity."

Zhu Di cheered up all of a sudden.

The girl Jingyi that Zhu Gaoxu said was actually his cousin.

That is, the daughter of Queen Xu's brother Wei Guogong Xu Huizu, and the niece of Queen Xu.

During the process of Jing Nan, although Xu Huizu was Zhu Di's eldest brother-in-law, he stood firmly on the side of Emperor Jianwen and opposed Zhu Di Jing Nan.

Until Zhu Di killed Nanjing City, Xu Huizu did not change his original intention, thinking that Zhu Di was unfaithful and unfilial.

Facing such an uncle who was as stubborn as a stone in a latrine, Zhu Di had no choice but to have him placed under house arrest.

However, this is the case, after all, this is Empress Xu's elder brother, and in fact, except for this elder brother Xu Huizu, the rest of the Xu family have made great contributions to Jing Nan.

Therefore, Zhu Di's thoughts towards Xu Huizu are both love and hate. He not only hopes that Xu Huizu can change his mind, but also annoys him for not thinking of family affection.

Now Xu Huizu is under house arrest, but Wei Guogong's nephews, whether it is Zhu Di or Empress Xu, are very important.

After all, this is Xu Da's direct descendant, Zhu Di has already put his father under house arrest, but Zhu Di has a lot of care for these Xu Huizu's children.

The scope of Zhu Di's family relationship is very narrow. Although there are countless harems, the real family members are only Empress Xu, three sons and a few daughters. If there are more, they are the Xu family.

Zhu Di was very sympathetic to the children of Duke Wei's mansion. After all, his father was convicted and Zhu Di was afraid of them, so whenever there was any reward in the palace, Duke Wei's mansion received the most rewards.

As for Xu Jingyi, she was naturally favored by Zhu Di and Empress Xu.

Zhu Di said slowly: "Jingyi has indeed reached the age to talk about marriage. If his father hadn't been convicted, the family would have worried about it, but I... didn't think of this, what a fool."

Zhu Gaoxu cheered up, and said pleasantly: "Yes, yes, the male college should be married, and the female college should be married. The father and the ministers are so anxious that their hair is going to be gray because of Jingyi's sister. I happen to have someone here... ..."

Zhu Di became concerned and said, "What family background is it?"

Zhu Gaoxu looked indifferent, and said: "What is the lintel of the family background? Anyway, no matter what the family background is, who can be as high as our Zhu family and Wei Guogong's family? I think that the most important thing is that Jingyi's sister is virtuous and virtuous. Find her a man with both ability and integrity."

Zhu Di said, "Have you talked to your queen mother?"

"I said it." Zhu Gaoxu said cheerfully: "My mother was also very surprised when she heard that there was such a person. She said that she would let the eunuch go and see it in person. It will be a good day in a few days, and let the eunuch know the good and the bad at a glance."

Zhu Di said seriously: "Jingyi is your sister, you take her marriage matter to heart, which shows that you are a conscientious person, but... You still have to be cautious about this matter, I will personally ask you, don't make mistakes Confused."

Zhu Gaoxu laughed in his heart, and he was already imagining in his heart that if his father knew that his brother and sister Jingyi's future husband is Guo Degang, haha... I don't know how happy I should be!

Of course, he can't say it now. Once he said it, it would violate the iron law of his father not to explore Guo Degang's identity.

Anyway, as long as the father likes someone, this king will give him the best in everything, only then will my father know that the only one who can truly inherit the mantle of my father is this king.

Zhu Gaoxu responded cautiously, and said: "I understand. That's right, father, I also heard that many people dare not speak out against Zhang Anshi."

Hearing this, Zhu Di suddenly became slightly angry: "What are you asking about again?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "A few days ago, didn't this Guo Degang blow up the Shen family's village? Good guy, even the son-in-law didn't have such courage. All the officials said that this Shen family is a kind family, and even they Not safe day and night, being oppressed by the emperor's relatives at will, I think many people will die and be sad."

Zhu Di immediately raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "You are a vassal, why are you in charge of the affairs of the family and the country? You and your mother can't live in peace for a few days, get out of here, get out immediately!"

Zhu Gaoxu's good mood suddenly disappeared, and he felt a thousand grievances in his heart.

Father now pampers his imperial brother to such an extent that even his wife and brother cannot criticize him.

Just wait and see, when the father finds out that Guo Degang is a good brother of the king, the guardian godfather is shocked, and then he knows how powerful the king is.

And that Guo Degang, really amazing, he is the mother's savior!He had to spend a little money to tie his heart.

…………

Recently, the atmosphere in the capital is quite strange.

The matter is still above the Shenjiazhuang.

The Shen family suffered an indiscriminate disaster, and there was a lot of commotion, and soon the news spread in the capital.

After that, the imperial court actually sent people to investigate Shen's house, which seemed to mean that there was no reason to blame him.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Criminal Justice withstood the pressure and found no criminal evidence, and even the Ministry of Criminal Justice said a lot of good things for the Shen family, otherwise, this Shen Shan would really be forced to death by those royal relatives.

But... Daming has never lacked people who dare to speak up.

I heard that many censors are gearing up to avenge the Shen family, and they are targeting the three culprits in the capital.

After a few days of silence, seeing the wind reversed, he asked people to rest in Zhuangzi, and at the same time, he was furious.

It really doesn't make sense, I Shen Jing is also a person with a name and surname, how can I suffer this humiliation for nothing?

When Emperor Jianwen was here, how courteous he was to us gentlemen!
Ten thousand steps back, even if the Mongols entered the Central Plains back then, the emperor of Meng Yuan still showed great respect to the ancestors of the Shen family.
