Chapter 399 has a murderous aura
Outside the Damien Gate, blood filled the air.
But at the moment, it was terribly quiet.
Zhu didn’t say anything, thus no one dared to make a sound at this time.
Zhu’s boots were wiped clean, long after the blood was gone.
He paced, passing in front of each minister.
Everyone trembles wherever they go.
After a long time, Zhu Di said, “Only a district of the Ministry of War left minister Jiang Chen? And more than that Jiang right the so-called great Confucian Wu family?”
He suddenly bellowed so loudly.
Among the group of ministers, the first to see Jiang Chen directly executed, already chilled, and now the mention of the Jiangwu Wu clan, there are already people with liver and gall blown away.
“District this number of people, how dare to have this kind of courage? Heh …… er readers also, act necessarily meticulous, will not leave a back way for themselves? You want to take over the country, want to teach me the Great Ming Jinji change color, how the district of these people?”
These words, every word, were like a heavy hammer that struck the hearts of the crowd.
Zhang Anshi stood aside, his eyes balking, trying to detect the ministers’ dissimilarities.
Yes, Your Majesty is right, these people act, they will definitely leave themselves a way out, and if they dare to kill the king, they are not just at the level of the Jiangxi Prefecture.
After all, if His Majesty dies, then the new ruler is the Crown Prince, but he is also His Majesty’s son, and Zhang Anshi’s brother-in-law, and if they want to make sure that the new ruler does not conduct a thorough investigation, then there must be a large number of people in the dynasty, who can exert enough influence and pressure on the new ruler, so that the new ruler will make a wrong judgment.
Zhu Di smiled coldly and continued, “Yours is the book of sages, read to the dog’s stomach? The king, the minister, the father, the son, but the ones who are the most unconscionable are you and the others.”
I don’t know who this was said to, but the ministers were all terrified.
Yang Rong and the others kowtowed, “I am guilty of ten thousand deaths.”
“Ten thousand deaths.” The crowd boomed.
Zhu Di disdained, eyes in the sinking cold, laughing is even colder, mouth said: “Of course, ten thousand deaths, Wu has been extinguished, Xu Qi, as well as his cohorts, are all killed, one does not stay, and this Jiang Chen ……
Said here, Zhu Di words a beat, suddenly said, “Zhang Qing where?”
Zhang Anshi, who was named, busily said, “I am here.”
“Take his family and kill them all together.”
Zhang Anshi said, “Obey the decree.”
Zhu Di then said, “Of course I know that their accomplices are still here, but things have come to today, still want to hide? You dare to kill me, do you still think you can escape?”
Hundred officials prostrate and kneel, at this time not a word or half a sentence dare to say, they only feel cold.
An unprecedented biting coldness that taught them to go cold.
Zhu Di then walked towards Zhu Gaoqi and looked at his son, the coldness in his eyes eased for a few moments as he said, “These days, you’ve been frightened.”
Zhu Gaoqi warily said, “The children’s minister …… children’s minister ……”
Zhu Di patted his shoulder and saw Zhu Gaoqi’s lips mumbling and stuttering.
Now gently said: “You look at it, these one by one in front of you gentle gentleman, many times, can not be so simple! You must not think that they are pedantic, think they are honest, since the great treachery and evil, must be that meek and respectful honest people.”
When Zhu said this, Yang Rong, who was worshipping on the ground, glanced sideways at Hu Guang on the side.
Hu Guang was shocked and opened his mouth to curse, but quickly swallowed his words back into his stomach.
Zhu Di apparently did not notice these, as usual, Zhu Gaoqi said: “Therefore, it is necessary to take warning! You are the Crown Prince, there will be people who will try to understand your nature and cast you in a good light. Those villains are not terrible, they just know that you love beauty, they give you into the beauty. But the really scary, precisely that seems to be loyal people, he knows you want to be a good emperor, it looks like love of the people, in front of you to be a modest gentleman, open his mouth is the country’s economy and livelihood, the people’s plight. How is this not a kind of flattery? Look at people to recognize people, do not look at what they say in their mouths, and do not listen to their rhetoric, this sleeve hand talk, in fact, self-serving people, from ancient times to date there are still few?”
Zhu Gaoqi heard, the face seems to have touched, busy saying: “Father’s teachings, the son of the court bear in mind.”
Zhu Di originally iron green face, this time also relieved, just a turn of the eyes, looking at the kneeling piece of the minister, the voice is still icy cold, said: “As for these rebellious ministers and thieves, one also do not want to run away, today, inside and outside of the capital, to strengthen the alert, the court above the fifth grade ministers and their families, shall not be decree, shall not be easy to go in and out of the capital! Zhang Qing, model battalion temporarily stationed at the gates.”
Zhang Anshi said, “Obey the decree.”
Zhu Di then rolled back onto his horse and mumbled, “It’s really cheap for Jiang Chen, the thief, to have accidentally beaten him to death, if not, I have to skin him.”
He wore a chagrined look on his face.
It was just that the words were even more chilling.
The group of ministers remained silent, each one crouching their heads as low as possible.
Zhu Di, on the other hand, never looked at them again, and then beat his horse into the Forbidden City.
Looking at Zhu Di’s back, Zhu Gaoqi took a long sigh of relief, and when he saw Zhang Anshi still bouncing there, he was overjoyed, and deliberately stopped for a moment, waiting for Zhang Anshi to accompany him in the rear, before he slowly walked with Zhang Anshi.
“What happened?” Zhu Gaoqi lowered his voice and said, “Your ah sister is going to die in a hurry, her body is already not good ……”
Although this was a rebuke, Zhang Anshi heard it with warmth in his heart.
Zhang Anshi whispered, ”Brother-in-law, it’s a long story, but in a nutshell, it was someone who wanted to plot against His Majesty. Fortunately, I did my best and defied the odds. If not, I’m afraid that something big will really happen, of course, your majesty …… didn’t make much effort ……”
Zhu Gaoqi listened to a large, but still did not understand what happened, only to listen to Zhang Anshi colorfully said how to beat the thieves hand to hand, and how to set up, in order to wait for the execution of the water bandits, followed by a surprise attack on the city of Nanchang.
Zhu Gaoqi listened to it and couldn’t help but say, “In that case, it’s fortunate to have you.”
Zhang Anshi sneaked a glance at the front playing horse Zhu Di, whispered: “also can not say so, although his majesty is old, but his credit is not small. Brother-in-law, we do the son of the younger brother, can not take the credit on their own body, if not brother-in-law is my closest relative, I will not tell the truth, external …… I say that it is His Majesty’s strategy, the decision to win a thousand miles ……”
Zhu Gaoqi nodded his head with a deep look of satisfaction and said, “It’s very right of you to do so, it seems that you’ve really grown up and are more stable than before.”
Zhang Anshi said, “With His Majesty and brother-in-law teaching by word and example, can one not be steady?”
Zhu Gaoqi pondered, at this time thought of these two days bad situation, sighed and said: “Father is the body of ten thousand gold, really shouldn’t go around privately visit, teach this chaotic officials and thieves can take advantage of the opportunity. What father said just now, could it be that there are still remnants in this dynasty?”
At the mention of this, Zhang Anshi’s face also stared for a few moments as he silently nodded his head.
Zhu Gaoqi said, “To investigate thoroughly to the end! This matter must be investigated by you and must not be left to others.”
Zhang Anshi nodded, “Understood.”
Zhu Gaoqi this admonition, also has his mind, the emperor was assassinated, in terms of the stakes, in fact, the ultimate beneficiary, is he the crown prince.
This is the problem of successive dynasties, Zhu Gaoqi is not too young, do more than ten years of the Prince, it is inevitable that some people will speculate that the Prince is not willing to do only the submerged dragon.
So for Zhu Gaoqi, the best way to clear his name is to find out all the remaining parties, and it is best for Zhang Anshi, who is his closest relative, to look into the matter.
Now for the palace gossip, has been a lot of hair, especially for his majesty early on will not be able to seize the throne, angry, back to the Beiping Wang Fu began to prepare for rebellion, after the naked run and eat feces and so on, can be said to be known to everyone.
Zhu Gaoqi knew that if this continued, more rumors were bound to come out.
The duo whispered all the way to the Mandarin’s House before walking in one after the other.
Zhu Di had already gone to the inner sanctum first to visit Empress Xu.
Yixuha to the crown prince and Zhang Anshi tea, Yixuha appeared to pale a lot, this time to the right side of the river, he did not accompany the escort, has been in the Secretary of the Palace of Justice on duty, he waited for Zhu Di all his life, after the news of Zhu Di’s accident, Yixuha seems to have lost the backbone of the moment.
This is an indescribable feeling, perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, also lost Ha this psychological symptom is cheap.
But for also lost Ha, he remembered from the beginning, has been designated to follow Zhu Di, from Zhu Di is still in Yan Wang, will serve his living, for also lost Ha, Zhu Di is his everything, not to mention that today he has everything, but also Zhu Di gave him, he may not have to read a lot of books, to understand a lot of learning, but only know, his life, is tied together with Zhu Di.
Now the Yishakha, on the contrary, smiled with a frown on his face.
Zhang Anshi also colorfully spoke before Yiluoha about how His Majesty had been so valiant when he was in Jiujiangfu.
Yilostha was in a good mood and willing to listen, thus admirably making tsk-tsk-tsk sounds to match so as to cheer up the sputtering Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi said, “Such a big water thief, your majesty’s fist went over, and before this fist arrived, the thief bled from all seven orifices.”
Zhu Gaoqi at the side, smiling tea quietly listening, looking at Zhang Anshi’s eyes, with a few points of relief, Anshi really grown up, can not teach people to worry.
Yildonha remained attentive and washed her ears.
On the contrary, the small eunuch serving tea on the side, seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as well as the Duke of Wei as well as the Grand Eunuch were all happy, he coldly might as well say, “Isn’t it true that the fists haven’t arrived yet, and how come they’re bleeding from the seven orifices?”
Yilu Hatun gave the eunuch a vicious glare.
The eunuch was so frightened that he was busy trying to apologize.
Zhang Anshi but said: “haha …… this you do not know, this force to a certain extent, there is a dark force, the mountains hit the bull have you ever heard of? Fighting gas into the horse you do not know?”
Eunuch: “……”
Yilungha said with a smile, “Governor Zhang, he doesn’t know anything and doesn’t have much insight, so you continue.”
But then a voice said, “Say what?”
It was Zhu Di who had returned from the big house and was pacing in slowly.
The people were busy saluting, and Yiluoha said with a smile, “Your Majesty, Governor Zhang is talking about Your Majesty’s efforts to get rid of the thieves over in Jiangxi.”
Zhu said atmospherically, “What is there to brag about when it comes to a mere vermin?”
Zhang Anshi then said, “Yes, I will die by all means.”
Zhu waved his hand, “Cut the crap.”
Zhu Di sat down, and then said, “I just executed Jiang Chen, that is, to scare the snakes.”
At these words, Zhang Anshi’s heart was slightly shaken, “What does Your Majesty mean ……”
Zhu Di said: “These people …… both dare to do such a thing, and now things leak, and there are so many accomplices have been killed, will certainly be born out of fear, I am to knock the mountain to shake the tiger a little bit, Jin Yiwei this side, it is just to take this to monitor the hundred officials, and to see… …their behavior!”
Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di with a face of admiration and said, “It turns out that your majesty already has such a plan, don’t worry, your majesty, on my side, one side of the surveillance, one side of the clues along with Jiang Chen and others, continue to trace the melon, these people are now a turtle in a jar, can’t last long anymore.”
Zhu Di nodded his head and then said, “The one I’m worried about is Qixia.”
He said and sighed quietly.
When he insisted on going to Jiangxi, he was thinking of his two and a half million taels of silver.
But now, Zhu Fang realized that he had more to lose now.
Because of these damn messy ministers and thieves, they caused a market turmoil, and the entire market of the Taiping Province plummeted, and the momentum of the previous great expansion had been broken.
I am afraid …… that the next thing is that the financial chain of many merchants is broken, and even the money changers are going to be affected, and the trading of the whole merchant bank, too, is going to be in a plunge.
If this is really the case, let this continue, the loss is not only two and a half million taels, I am afraid that 25 million taels are not enough to fill this hole.
Zhang Anshi heard it, but he also knew that this time could be considered a man-made economic crisis.
Previously thriving, so that almost everyone has the illusion that only to open a workshop, you can certainly earn money, as long as the silver investment, nine times out of ten will be able to make a steady profit.
And now, with this great crisis hanging like a dark cloud, it is not easy to break the fear in people’s hearts.
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and said, “According to Qing, can things be undone?”
Zhang Anshi pondered with a deep frown and said, ”If I want to do my best to preserve the merchant bank and turn it into a profit, I am fully certain of that. When I thought about the beginning, I had anticipated the possibility, so I have been very careful this year. However, if I want to maintain the overall situation of the entire Taiping Province, it will take more effort.”
“It’s just that, Your Majesty, the reason why the merchant bank is able to be like a fish out of water is precisely because of the prosperity of the Taiping Prefecture, and if the prosperity of the Taiping Prefecture is lost, the merchant bank, even if it can still generate profits, is in fact nothing more than a rootless floating duckling.”
Zhu Di frowned and said, “Then think of a way, no matter what way, to keep my …… also want to let the military and civilian people of Taipingfu live and work in peace and happiness.”
Zhang Anshi pondered for a moment and said, “I do have a way, but it will take some time to prepare.”
Zhu Di’s eyes brightened a few points at once, and he busied himself by saying, “Many how many hours?”
“Half a month.” Zhang Anshi thought for a moment.
Zhu Di then said: “Then half a month, this is a big thing! With the rebels and traitors, all kill all that is, but if the Taipingfu incident, not to mention the internal money is gone, the people and the people have lost their livelihoods, you want to teach these hundreds of thousands of people to become a vagabond?”
Looking at Zhu Di s excitement, Zhang Anshi could only say, “I …… will do my best.”
Zhu Gaoqi sat on the sidelines, but said, “Father, I was in the capital and heard something.”
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoqi and said, “But there’s no harm in saying it.”
Zhu Gaoqi said, “After the message of Jiangxi, Taipingfu internal and external problems, there seems to be a lot of people, are in the secret rumors, trying to do everything possible, want to teach this Taipingfu …….”
His words did not continue.
It means nothing more than that it’s not just the railroads, there are people pushing the envelope.
Zhu Gaoqi’s implication is that this matter is really difficult to do, if Zhang Anshi did not do well, you can not blame him.
Zhang Anshi also instantly understood a few of the Crown Prince’s intentions, and only looked at his own brother-in-law with a smile on his face.
Instead, Zhu Di said, “How come the Crown Prince is also concerned about the Taiping Mansion?”
Zhu Gaoqi said: “the children’s Zhanfu subordinate officers, most of them, are devolved to the right governor’s office under the rule of the state on duty, especially the Zhanfu university scholar Yang Pu, is the Taiping Province of the same, specializing in railroads Division of the matter, so …… almost the right governor’s office of the movements of the children’s office, they will be to the children’s son to report! .”
Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn’t help but nod his head in relief, “This is what a Crown Prince should do.”
Just then, Zhu Di and frowned up, cold smile: “This matter is significant, about the rise and fall of the gods of earth and grain, can not be trivialized, Zhang Qing try to do, I grant you full powers! Regardless of what is used, and what needs to be restrained, even if it is the six departments of the court, as long as the Secretary needs, let them do their best to listen to the transfer.”
Zhang Anshi said, “Obey the decree.”
Only then did Zhu Gaoqi secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhu Di has revealed the state of fatigue, obviously all the way to the boat, his age, can adhere to the present, has been very rare.
Zhu Gaoqi and Zhang Anshi then both wisely retired.
The two of them walked to the noon gate in one breath.
Zhu Gaoqi was panting, every time he walked in and out of the palace forbidden, it was a torture for him.
There was already a carriage waiting outside, so Zhu Gaoqi looked at Zhang Anshi and said, “Go to the East Palace first and meet your sister.”
Zhang Anshi could not help but feel a bit weak and said, “After thinking about it, I’d better go back to see my wife and son first, they must be very worried about me. Just please trouble brother-in-law to report peace to my sister for me.”
Zhu Gaoqi glared at him and said, “When that bad news came, your sister had long ago picked them up at the Eastern Palace, just in case they were overly sad.”
Seeing that there was no escape, Zhang Anshi asked tentatively, “Brother-in-law, Sister isn’t angry, is she?”
Zhu Gaoqi looked at his abashed appearance, but could not help but laugh, “Don’t worry, she can’t even be happy to see you, how could she still be angry?”
Zhang Anshi sighed in relief, feeling instantly empowered, and immediately said, “I’m not a man to be a brother, and I’ve taught Sister to worry every time, so I’ll go and see her.”
Zhang Anshi arrived at the East Palace in a flurry of excitement.
Zhu Gaoqi all the way to relief, leading Zhang Anshi to the bedchamber.
Today’s Eastern Palace is exceptionally cold.
Zhang Anshi followed Zhu Gaoqi into the hall.
Who knows a go in, suddenly see the atmosphere in the hall extraordinarily cold, around the eunuchs one by one atmosphere dare not come out.
However, it seemed that Crown Princess Zhang had long since gotten the news from the eunuchs and knew that Zhang Anshi was coming.
As soon as he saw Zhang Anshi enter the hall, he pointed at a eunuch, but saw that this eunuch was holding a spirit tablet.
Zhang bellowed, “Kneel down.”
Zhang Anshi: “……”
Zhang Anshi hastily raised his eyes to look for Zhu Gaoqi, Zhu Gaoqi has very meekly stood aside, and then silently looked at Zhang Anshi, the appearance of the matter is not concerned.
Zhang Anshi: “……”
