my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 99
"So, in my opinion, Zhang Fu's contribution is not that great. Although he and the commander of the guard Zhang Kuan have credit for killing the enemy, this credit is not theirs."

Zhu Gaoxu seemed to understand, so he said happily: "Then this work is of course the father. The father predicted the enemy's opportunity first. Naturally, the father ordered Zhang Fu to go to clean up the soldiers and horses first. The father predicts things like a god, and my son admires him." Incredibly."

Qiu Fu and the others looked at Zhu Gaoxu like two idiots.

Especially Qiu Fu, he even felt that it was wrong for him to ask His Majesty to release the King of Han, and it would be better for His Highness to stay in the King of Han's mansion obediently, at least to be safe.

So much so that Qiu Fu even thought about how wise the King of Han was at the time of Jing Nan. On the battlefield, he always used his troops properly, and when he charged forward, he often fought with his life.

But now... It seems that the situation has changed. In this world, it seems that there is no room for the King of Han to use his powers anymore.

The bottom line is that the king of Han was too anxious, he was eager to express himself, eager to prove himself, it was precisely this untimely impatience, he may not have noticed it himself, but in the eyes of others, he was more or less greedy for merit Adventurous meaning.

After Zhu Di listened, he stared at Zhu Gaoxu: "Is it because I predict things like a god?"

"Isn't it?" Zhu Gaoxu asked back.

"But the reason why I ordered Zhang Fu to go to Chengshanwei is because of Zhang Anshi's reminder."

Zhu Gaoxu's smile gradually disappeared at this moment.

He was a little confused, and looked back at Zhang Anshi, who returned a modest and apologetic smile.

Zhu Gaoxu's face was as pale as a pig's liver. He desperately wanted to say something more to resolve the embarrassment at the moment, but many words came to his lips, but he couldn't come out. He just felt... a feeling that he seemed to be powerful but had nowhere to stretch.

Zhu Di said: "It is Zhang Anshi who predicts things like a god."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Yes... yes..."

Zhu Di said: "He has such insight at such a young age, this is beyond my imagination, Zhang Anshi..."

"The minister is here."

Zhu Di asked a question that everyone wanted to know: "How do you know that Chengshanwei might be at fault?"

Zhang Anshidao: "This... I have nothing to do, I found... I found... There was a report from the North Korean country, saying that a large group of thieves attacked their Jeolla-do area. Ferocious, to be able to break through the city, the minister... the minister is thinking, such a large-scale pirate must have a lot of desires, the larger the scale of the pirates, the more supplies they need, and the North Korean country may not be able to satisfy their appetite, so I think...after their looting this time, next time they will prepare their troops, they will definitely choose a more affluent place to satisfy their appetite."

Zhang Anshi continued: "The location of the Shandong guards happened to be the closest to the place they plundered, and they were the most affluent. The Ming Dynasty stationed Chengshan Guards, Dengzhou Guards, and Laizhou Guards on the front line of Shandong. Among the three guards, Chengshan Guards The scale is the smallest and the strength is the weakest, so it is the most vulnerable to pirate attacks. Based on this, I judged that Chengshanwei was most likely to be attacked. The best way for Japanese pirates to come east is to use the wind direction at sea , These two months are exactly the best time for the Japanese pirates to act, of course...the minister is just taking advantage of this...to make random judgments and talk nonsense, who knows, a blind cat has met a dead mouse."

After hearing this, the governors looked at each other in blank dismay.

What I am most afraid of is that the hero is humble. You are a blind cat and a dead mouse. How can we live? Be bold and brag.

After Zhu Di heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and fell into deep thought. He took a few steps and stopped again, as if he was chewing and swallowing Zhang Anshi's words carefully.

"From a piece of news from North Korea, you can make such a precise judgment, but in hindsight, it is indeed a case of anticipating the enemy's opportunity. Zhang Anshi, have you never learned the art of war?"

Zhang Anshi replied: "I have learned a little bit."

Zhu Di was moved.

Not only Zhu Di, but also the other governors couldn't help being moved.

This guy really learned?
If he had learned it, wouldn't the person who taught him the art of war be even more powerful?This should at least be a character like Han Xin.

Zhu Di's eyes were hot, so he couldn't help but said: "Who is the person who taught you the art of war? I never thought that there are such people in the world."

Zhang Anshi said: "It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of us."

The monarchs and ministers began to look at each other, wondering who in the palace secretly made a fuss about Zhang Anshi.

"You mean..." Zhu Di frowned: "Damn it, can you fart as soon as you want, at such a young age, how dare you play tricks on me."

Zhang Anshi said: "I learned the art of war from Your Majesty."

"..."

Everyone looked at Zhu Di in surprise.

Zhu Di was also dumbfounded.

Zhang Anshi said: "Since I got acquainted with Your Majesty, I often listen to His Majesty's teachings. Maybe His Majesty sometimes just blurts out words, but I remember them all. After returning, I will chew them again and again to understand the deep meaning of Your Majesty's words. There are many things. , I’m afraid of pondering, this minister thinks more and more that every word of His Majesty’s every word is exquisite and worthy of careful study.”

"Being by His Majesty's side, what I have learned is not only the art of war, but also His Majesty's benevolence for the common people. Oh, there are countless examples to mention, and I can't even count them. It's just that I'm still stupid. Some places are too profound to understand, I only learned some superficial aspects, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Zhu Gaoxu's mouth was wide open. Fortunately, he didn't learn the word shit, so he could only use his poor cultural knowledge to curse in his heart: "Fuck you!"

All the supervisors listened, some half-believed, some actually believed it, and thought to themselves: Why can't I understand it?Am I stupid?

There were also people... who seemed to see the mystery, and looked at Zhang Anshi with ulterior motives.

Prince Zhu Gaochi was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and was momentarily stunned.

Zhu Di was also dubious: "Really? But I think this is a bit unbelievable. You won't deceive the emperor, right?"

Zhang Anshi said very seriously: "I never deceived the emperor, otherwise, I will give you an example. Cough..."

He coughed tactically, and then said seriously: "Just say that His Majesty is often in front of the ministers, er... what do you say 'into his mother'..."

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi expectantly, but suddenly his face sank.

Some people are already snickering.

Zhang Anshi said: "At first, I mistakenly thought that His Majesty was really just a general, but later I realized that His Majesty is actually the Son of Heaven. I was shocked at the time, and felt weird for a while, Your Majesty is a dignified Son of Heaven, why does he always marry his mother? "

"Until recently, I realized it!"

Zhang Anshi said it soundly, and continued: "Your Majesty's words are dirty. In fact, there are deep meanings in this. Your Majesty hopes that he will not be the emperor in the Forbidden City. As an emperor, he should enjoy the same joy with the army and the people, just like your majesty. So Jing is hard to succeed, only when you get along well with the soldiers will they feel that your majesty shares weal and woe with them, and they will all be willing to strive to be the first."

"This entry into his mother, although superficial and vulgar on the surface, is an ironclad proof that His Majesty loves soldiers like sons, unlike some so-called Confucian generals who sit in a big tent all day long and speak polite words in their mouths. How can such a person... be loved by the soldiers, how can we win the support of the soldiers."

"Thus, the minister made inferences and thought that as a general, he should act like His Majesty, love soldiers like sons, and share weal and woe with the soldiers. Then this march and battle will be half successful."

Zhu Di: "..."

Think carefully.

He's so fucking reasonable, why didn't I think of it?
So Zhu Di beamed brightly and said: "It makes sense for you to say that."

Zhang Anshi said: "I haven't learned enough, I need to study more in the future."

With a big belly, Zhu Di smiled cheerfully: "I believe it, but even if you learned it from me, there are so many people around me, how can others not learn it? It can be seen that people and people The difference between humans and dogs is really bigger than that between humans and dogs. The Qing family made the first contribution to suppressing the bandits this time, and this is a real military achievement, so it must be rewarded according to merit."

Zhu Di made a conclusion immediately, but Zhang Anshi accepted it frankly.

Not to mention whether I have merit or not, but I have said so many bragging words, at least I have to give some benefits, my tongue is numb, Zhang Anshi.

Qiu Fu said at this time: "Your Majesty, besides that, Zhang Fu also ordered someone to send some things, which he said were brought to His Majesty by the soldiers of Chengshan Guard."

Zhu Di said, "Oh? What is it?"

Qiu Fu took off the bundle, and Yi Shiha took it carefully, put the bundle down, then opened it up, and several pears appeared in front of everyone.

Qiu Fudao: "Zhang Fu said that it was sent by the soldiers of Chengshan Guard. They planted it when they were in the field. The fruit just bears fruit and wants to present it to His Majesty for a taste. He also said that His Majesty has eaten all kinds of delicacies from all over the world. It's just a little thought of the soldiers to look down on this melon."

After hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes lit up.

Busy to Yishi said: "Quick, go and wash the melons, I want to taste it."

Yi Shiha didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly washed it, and when he brought it back, he wanted to try the poison first.

Zhu Di frowned and said, "My officers and men, could it be possible to harm me? If you try it today, the officers and men who taught Chengshanwei will be chilled. Take it, and... distribute it to the generals." Let's have a try, Zhang Anshi, you should try one too."

Zhang Anshi was not polite, took one from Yishiha's hand, and started to chew it immediately.

I have to say that this melon is quite fresh, a little sweet, and I am not polite at the moment, and it tastes delicious.

The monarchs and ministers ate very happily, Zhu Di ate one immediately, took the towel handed over by Yishiha, wiped his mouth, and said with emotion: "These soldiers have to farm the fields while not forgetting to guard the border towns. It is really hard work." .”

"Zhang Fu is the person who knows me best. The commanding Zhang Kuan and the soldiers of Cheng Shanwei are also loyal and sincere. I will never treat you lightly. This time, I will reward you heavily and give you generous gifts. The five armies commander The government should work with the Ministry of War to draw up a reward regulation, don't be reluctant."

Qiu Fu and the others agreed. They admired Zhang Fu's exquisite heart and Zhang Anshi's good mouth.

Zhu Di was immediately overjoyed, and looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile: "The prince has this younger brother, and this son will be the prince's right-hand man in the future."

Zhu Gaochi was overjoyed, got up hurriedly, and said: "Father is too absurd to praise An Shi, he is still young and needs to be sharpened."

But Zhu Gaoxu's heart is sour, isn't it obvious that his brother is going to be the emperor?

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't hide the jealousy in his heart, and this inexplicable jealousy made him want to go crazy with jealousy.

Obviously he is the bravest one, and when things are difficult, he always rushes forward and makes countless contributions, obviously he is tall and tall, and has always been favored by his father, but now...

…………

When Zhu Gaochi left the palace, he was actually very tired.

He has always been in poor health, plus he is obese, not to mention that he has been messed up by the imperial examinations at hand these days.

But today he is very happy, laughing all the way, tugging Zhang Anshi from time to time, every time he imagines tugging Zhang Anshi's hand like before.

Zhang Anshi avoided it.

Zhu Gaochi smiled and said: "My An Shi has grown up, it seems that in the future, I will treat him as an adult."

Zhang Anshi said: "I have grown up a long time ago, brother-in-law, don't treat me as Zhanji."

Zhu Gaochi said: "Speaking of him, he is always unhappy recently."

"What's wrong with him?" Zhang Anshi became worried. Uncle would still count on his nephew for the rest of his life.

Zhu Gaochi said: "He said that he did not agree to the marriage with the girl from the Xu family, and said that Uncle's body would not be able to bear it."

Zhang Anshi said: "He...he is talking nonsense, brother-in-law, I think he is not young, we can't always let him idle around, he is a prince after all, you should ask Your Majesty to prepare a few more masters for him, to teach him Studying, I heard...many children, when they are his age, can already read the Four Books and Five Classics by heart."

Zhu Gaochi said in surprise: "There is such a smart child?"

Zhang Anshi said: "How dare I lie to my brother-in-law, I am very worried about Zhanji, the grandson of the emperor, how can he fall behind others?"

Zhu Gaochi has always attached great importance to Zhu Zhanji's matter. Hearing Zhang Anshi's words at this time, his expression couldn't help becoming serious: "I will definitely go back and discuss this matter with your sister. Anshi, what did you say?" Very good, fortunately you reminded me, if not, I would still treat him as a child."

Zhang Anshi suddenly felt an indescribable joy.

So he said with a cheerful smile: "We are all a family. We are not outsiders. Others don't care about our family. Only we have such worries."

Zhu Gaochi nodded approvingly: "Yes, a family."

Zhu Gaochi continued to walk with a limp, and when he was about to reach the Meridian Gate, he said: "You have made such a great contribution this time, but you don't know what your father will reward you. You have to remember that after receiving the reward, you will be rewarded." You must immediately enter the palace to thank you, don't let your father think that you are impolite."

"Also, in the future, don't mention any kind of mother in front of the father. This is not appropriate after all. The father can say that it is because the father has such a temper. As a courtier, you should be cautious."

Zhang Anshi drooped his head: "I know, I know."

Zhu Gaochi said helplessly: "Look, you look impatient again. If I tell your elder sister to know, I will definitely scold you."

Zhang Anshi said: "Sister will not know, I know that my brother-in-law is definitely not the kind of villain who speaks ill of me behind my back."

"You..." Zhu Gaochi wanted to teach him a lesson, but he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Of course I will cover it up for you this time, but it won't be the case next time."

After leaving the Meridian Gate, when Zhu Gaochi got on the chariot out of breath, Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, please preside over the imperial examination properly, I have a big gift for you."

"Great gift?" Zhu Gaochi sat on the sedan chair, and just now he collected himself, his breath became more even, and he couldn't help asking curiously: "What kind of gift."

Zhang Anshi said: "Send a Jinshi to you, a scholar from the north."

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Don't mess around."

Zhang Anshi said: "If it is like before, almost all the scholars on the list are scholars from the south, and the scholars from the north will definitely cry out for injustice like in the Hongwu period. But if your majesty is like the emperor Gao, the examiners are required to re-read the papers. I am afraid that the students in the south will also make trouble, and then the brother-in-law will be caught in the middle. And it's better that his ranking is higher, so that he can relieve brother-in-law's urgent need!"

"Brother-in-law, look well, for my brother-in-law, I will squeeze oil out of rocks for my brother-in-law."

Zhu Gaochi wanted to say something, but Zhang Anshi had already run away in a hurry.

Zhu Gaochi was speechless for a moment, shaking his head with a helpless look on his face.

……

The so-called extraction of oil from a stone means that Gu Xingzu is that stone, and only by squeezing out his potential can he have a chance.

For this chance.

Zhang Anshi decisively increased the difficulty. At this time, he was no longer cutting questions from a book.

In the past, when cutting questions, I just took two questions from an Analects of Confucius or a book of the mean.

Now it is a word taken from the Analects of Confucius and the Doctrine of the Mean to overlap.

In this way, the difficulty has increased a lot.

Gu Xingzu's face turned green with fright, but he could only do the questions again and again blankly.

Learn various methods of doing problems.

Then Yang Shiqi continued to point out the problems in the article, and finally rectified according to the problems.

Gu Xingzu is already considered an extremely smart person, and now, he happens to be at the age when a person has the best memory and ability to accept, and is also the most energetic.

But even so, he felt overwhelmed.

It doesn't matter if you can't bear it.

Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu can always get a chicken from a strange place.

Then Qiu Song carefully took out the small gunpowder bag and put it on the chicken.

A second ago, the chicken was clucking alive and well.

In the next second, there was a bang, and the chicken rose to the sky on the spot, accompanied by a shrill cluck, and finally the rooster fell to the ground and was cooked.

Seeing this situation, Gu Xingzu's crotch was wet.

The eyes, which were originally lifeless, suddenly lit up.

Then, with gunpowder wrapped all over his body, he didn't say anything anymore, and continued to study hard.

Of course, this thing cannot be used frequently.

After all, it is more costly.

What's more... the more times, the effect may be weakened.

However, seeing Gu Xingzu's hard work always reminded Zhang Anshi of himself who worked hard for the college entrance examination last time, and in the end he only passed a bad school.

The reason why he passed the bad school was not because he didn't work hard enough, but because other people were better than him.

He couldn't help but envy Gu Xingzu at this time. Gu Xingzu was lucky when he grew up in an era when a group of scholars really took the imperial examination with an attitude of making a fuss.

A few decades later, once the beasts among the scholars realize the trick and start racking their brains to carry out exam-oriented education, the so-called scholars like Gu Xingzu who became a monk on the way will never have a chance.

Regardless of whether the results of Gu Xingzu's efforts are useful or not, Enke is about to start in the highly anticipated.

Yang Shiqi felt like he was committing a crime, so when Zhang Anshi excitedly went to sign up for Gu Xingzu as a student supervisor, Yang Shiqi hid for fear of being seen.

His psychological quality is not high, which is still far from the prime minister Yang Shiqi who has gone through several dynasties in history.

Of course, Zhang Anshi believes that people will grow up. The current Yang Shiqi just hasn't experienced the real beating. Life will teach him how to become a cheeky old fritter.

...............

At this time, in the Wulou.

A letter of regulations for the five armies' governor's mansion and the Ministry of War to advance together was sent to Zhu Di's desk.

Zhu Di is obviously very concerned about this.

So Yi Shiha, who knew His Majesty's mind well, put this charter at the top of the memorial.

Zhu Di picked it up solemnly, then roughly glanced at the charter, and then frowned: "Zhang Fu is a Marquis? Is he the commander of the capital?"

Yi Shiha only said: "Slaves dare not discuss state affairs indiscriminately."

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction: "It's okay, as long as you don't talk nonsense, and this Zhang Kuan... was transferred to the Xuanfu, well, this battle is indeed not as grand as the one in the border town, but it can save one side." Ping An, the credit is not insignificant, give him an uncle... there is no need to be hereditary."

Yi Shiha smiled and said, "If he knew, he would be so grateful."

Zhu Di continued to read and asked every meritorious soldier.

Almost all of them added some rewards on the basis of the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Yi Shiha looked calm and calm, but he couldn't help but feel a little strange. Logically speaking, Zhang Anshi was the first and ranked first. His Majesty didn't ask Zhang Anshi, but directly discussed the merits from Zhang Fu, but he didn't know that His Majesty was What do you think.

After reading the charter from beginning to end, Zhu Di turned back again, and his eyes fell on Zhang Anshi, the first hero.

He squinted his eyes, and his eyes flickered, as if he was deep in thought.

Suddenly, Zhu Di said: "Damn it, this guy's flirtatious skill is not inferior to that of Zhang Fu's. I almost got carried away and couldn't control myself."

"Ah..." Yi Shiha said in amazement: "This servant thinks that what Zhang Anshi said may not be all flattery, he...every time he sees His Majesty, the way he looks at His Majesty is... all... how to say, They all seem to be in admiration."

Zhu Di laughed from the bottom of his heart, and said, "Are you still observing this?"

Yishiha laughed dryly and said, "The servant only sees it occasionally."

Zhu Di was obviously in a good mood, so he said with a smile: "It is true that he has many ideas that coincide with mine, so he knows me. As for his merits, the Ministry of War agreed to grant him land and money. Besides, adding a Marquis, but this Marquis...is not a hereditary replacement, I think this is inappropriate."

Yi Shiha said: "The honor and disgrace of the life and death of the courtiers are all in the mind of your majesty, so naturally your majesty's holy order is the best."

Zhu Di thought about it, and said in his mouth: "This kid... is a capable person, I have other arrangements for him..."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di rudely raised the ink pen, and directly crossed out the suggestions of the Ministry of War and the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies.

After thinking for a while, he picked up the ink pen and wrote a long paragraph eloquently. Then he closed the charter, seemed relieved, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Send this charter to Wenyuan Pavilion...to copy it, and it will be published immediately." Tell the world."

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

"One more thing..." Yi Shiha suddenly remembered something.

Zhu Di glanced at him: "Huh?"

Yi Shiha said: "There is also a memorial to His Royal Highness, which is under this charter."

The crown prince's memorial should have been ranked first, but Yi Shiha made his own claim this time, but he felt that he should remind His Majesty.

After hearing this, Zhu Di smiled, opened the memorandum, and asked, "How is he doing with the imperial examination? Is he taking care of one thing and neglecting another, and he is at a loss in his advances and retreats?"

Yi Shiha said: "His Royal Highness has always been prudent, so there shouldn't be any big mistakes."

Zhu Di shook his head and said, "You always speak for others, for the crown prince, and for the king of Han. Zhang Anshi is not hesitant to say good things, as if there are not many bad people outside the palace."

"The matter of the imperial examination is not easy. On the one hand, it is indeed difficult for me to push it to the prince. It is so difficult that I have not even thought about how to do it well. On the other hand, it is to use this to sharpen the prince! It's not a test, but I just want him to know that in the future, he will inherit the reunification, and there will be many troubles for him. It's good to let him suffer. If he suffers more, my grandson can do more. The year is Taiping."

Yi Shiha: "..."

Zhu Di read the memorial, but his expression became serious again, and he said: "In this memorial, the crown prince happened to mention the emperor's grandson, saying that the emperor's grandson is not young, and it's time for him to study, and he should choose a good teacher... um... ..."

Yi Shiha said: "My little master...it really seems to have grown up a lot all of a sudden, and he is a precocious person."

Zhu Di said: "This matter should not be underestimated. The masters selected for him must be the best. Let's choose four first, and they must all be virtuous and virtuous. For the supervisor of ceremonies, first draw up a few people. Choose, I want to see it myself."

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

Since then, another eunuch hastily left the palace.

At noon, go to Guozixue.

When the eunuch arrived at Guozixue.

It happened that there was a bang.

Fortunately, the power of the explosion is not great.

He raised his head, only to hear two clucks, a chicken flying high and high.

The eunuch was startled, and when the chicken fell to the ground, four people rushed out, and someone shouted: "Oh, this time it was fried well, it's fully cooked."

eunuch:"……"

He dusted off the dust on his body, endured the fear in his heart, and went forward.

"Cheng Enbo accepts the order, and His Majesty has an order."

Zhang Anshi stood up, and said excitedly: "Here, come, please, father-in-law, you have worked hard, father-in-law, do you want to eat chicken?"

The eunuch, who has always been domineering and domineering when he leaves the palace, smiled subtly at this moment, stretched out his hand to block it, expressed his refusal, and cleared his throat: "There is a decree, please Cheng Enbo accept the decree first, this is His Majesty personally explained it, and instructed the servants to declare the decree quickly, and to go back and report to His Majesty immediately."

Only then did Zhang Anshi get serious: "Eunuch, please!"

Zhu Yong and the others looked at Zhang Anshi with envious eyes. The eldest brother is indeed the eldest brother...
