Chapter 171.
Zhu Di didn’t expect Zhang Anshi to be so decisive.
When he remembered Chen Wenjun, Zhang Anshi didn’t have such certainty.
Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Zhu Di turned toward Yiluoha, who was at the side, and said, “Let the hundred officials go to the side hall and wait for the news.”
Obviously, it is not easy to let the hundred officials out of the palace now, who knows if there are any accomplices?
Being in the palace is the equivalent of keeping people under control.
Yizhuoha nodded and smiled, “Please, gentlemen, follow us.”
Everyone is also sensible enough to know that at this point in time, they are better off staying away.
So the crowd dispersed.
Zhang Anshi, however, said, “Then Commander Commander Commander, please stay for a while.”
Jin Yi Wei Commander Commander Deng Wu heard this, but his body was even more like sifting chaff, he did not know what he was facing next, and subconsciously glanced at Ji Gang.
Ji Gang, on the other hand, had gone with the flow of people by now.
Zhu Di took his seat and looked at Zhang Anshi, “How to teach him to open his mouth?”
“Use torture.” Zhang Anshi said dryly, “Teach him to beg for life, beg for death, and he will naturally talk.”
Zhu Di strange up: “Chen Wenjun s time …… you do not move the sentence, said the effect is not obvious, but why this Lu Zhen, you want to move the sentence?”
Zhang Anshi patiently analyzed, “This is different, Chen Wenjun is a pawn, and this pawn tends to be convinced of what he thinks, so the more you torture him, the more he thinks he is doing the right thing instead, and it is extremely difficult for him to talk rather than die.”
“But Lu Zhen is not the same, Lu Zhen is the main messenger behind the scenes, this main messenger often know more than the chess pieces, the reason why he dared to conspire, all because of the interests of the people just, a pursuit of interests, as long as the moving …… is not afraid that he does not open his mouth.”
Zhu Di listened and thought deeply.
He got up and took a step towards Deng Wu.
Teng Wu was busy is hanging his head, bowed and said, “His …… Majesty ……”
Zhu Di said, “I …… vaguely remember you, when it was Ji Gang bailed you out?”
Deng Wu hurriedly bowed down and said, “Your Majesty, who is Ji Gang, I owe my present day to the grace of the Holy Spirit.”
Zhu smiled faintly, “Is that so? The words are all like that.”
Teng Wu urgently said, “Ji Gang in the guards, is indeed only a hand in the sky, but after all, he is the commanding officer, humble people, of course, act by his orders, sometimes even if his orders are wrong, humble people do not dare to disobey, but the reason why he is obedient to him, not because he is the commanding officer, but because …… he represents His Majesty.”
Zhu nodded, “You said he sometimes gives the wrong orders?”
Teng Wu said: “Last year …… minister Liu Fengwen and he had a suspicion, he authorized people to weave a crime …… but because of this Liu Fengwen died of illness, and thus put an end to it. Last winter, his nephew killed a person in the street, someone sued to the Yingtianfu, he then authorized my humble self, went to the Yingtianfu to catch the person who sued, and falsely accused him of treason …… sent to the Imperial Prison, and this year started in the spring …….”
Without waiting for Deng Wu to continue, Zhu Di coldly said, “In the first place, why didn’t you report it?”
Deng Wu said fearfully, “My humble people only know that His Majesty trusts Ji Gang, and when Ji Gang gives an order, he often claims to be under imperial orders, so how would I dare to file a complaint. How would I dare to disobey what His Majesty has explained?”
Zhu Di said, “Are you not saying that even your torturing Zheng Lun and their families to death was authorized by him, Ji Gang?”
Deng Wu said, “Yes …… yes ……”
Zhu Di looked at Deng Wu meaningfully and said, “I have heard that the Brocade Guards are still filled with many of Ji Gang’s countrymen and relatives?”
“Yes.”
Zhu nodded his head and said, “One man gets a chicken and a dog.”
Deng Wu only buried his head silently, not daring to utter a single breath.
Zhu Di, however, with his hands behind his back, smiled and said, “But this is also human nature, Ji Gang …… is still meritorious ……”
The fact that he spoke so abruptly suddenly suddenly caused Teng Wu to be puzzled.
Only one side, Yilostha, was wearing a smile on his face.
When His Majesty suddenly uttered these words, someone’s bad luck was not far off.
Zhu Di said, “Deng Wu, you use torture, Zhang Anshi is afraid of spilling blood ……”
Teng Wu hesitated, “Here, Your Majesty?”
Zhu Di face indifference, not to look at that Lu Zhen, only faintly said: “Where are the same, the rebels, do not want to pick a place?”
With that, he looked at Zhang Anshi and said, “Have all of Lu Zhen’s relatives been taken down?”
Zhang Anshi said, “I …… ten thousand deaths, I am anxious to go first to find his gold and silver it …… relatives side …… this time …… should have taken it.”
“Gold and silver ……” Zhu’s eyes seem to smile.
And then, Zhu Di said, “Let’s go, Zhang Anshi, accompany me to walk around this left side, also lost Ha, pass the decree, transfer the Feather Forest Guards, claim all the relatives of Lu Zhen, don’t leave out a single one.”
Both Yizhuoha and Zhang Anshi said yes.
At that moment, Zhu Di led Zhang Anshi out of the hall.
Zhu Di face gloomy, walked not far, then said: “Lu Zhen this person …… I still count on trust, but never thought, this person is so heartless. I sometimes …… really tired of heart, this world some people do not serve my Daming, think Taizu is a piece of cloth, you are not polite, is a beggar origin, and now but won the world. There are also people …… are disdainful of me to pacify, do this son of heaven …… Zhang Qingjia ah Zhang Qingjia, is it true that they do not know how to live?”
Zhang Anshi also thought seriously before saying, “Your Majesty, it is human to be arrogant.”
Zhu Di gazed at Zhang Anshi, “Arrogant?”
Zhang Anshi then said: ”Just like Lu Zhen such a person, in the eyes of His Majesty, he is only a district courtier, but in the eyes of his relatives and subordinates, he is the object of greeting and pleasing. Just like …… Hu Weiyong in the beginning, people can t help but curry favor and tout him in front of him. This person is flattered and pleasing more, naturally, they feel that everything is deserved, and feel that they are not the same as ordinary people. As time passes, he becomes more and more disdainful of people, thinking that others are just lucky, and that if he were so lucky, he could also soar to the heavens.”
Said here, Zhang Anshi lowered his voice: “such as that Hu Weiyong, Hu Weiyong’s origin, than that of Emperor Taizu I don’t know how much higher, in the body of Emperor Taizu, he did make a lot of achievements, Emperor Taizu appointed him as prime minister, he is in charge of the world’s military and political affairs, began to arrogate to himself, think he is great. Unbeknownst to him, he was just being unselfconscious, and Emperor Taizu’s pinch of a finger could have taught him to go up in smoke.”
“But will he believe that he is not worth mentioning in the presence of Emperor Taizu Gao until he sees his coffin? No, I thought that he would not reflect until the end.”
Zhu Di nodded his head while listening and nodded, “Zhang Qing has reminded me that I must not teach people to be arrogant.”
Zhang Anshi said, “I will be very cautious, this is because I know that it is my sister in law who raised me, and on weekdays my sister in law teaches by word and example ……”
Zhu Di impatiently glared at him and said, “Alright, alright, don’t always end up mentioning yourself again.”
Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “I’m just giving an example.”
Zhu Di suddenly said, “What do you think of Ji Gang?”
Zhang Anshi: “……”
“Why don’t you say something?”
Zhang Anshi said, “Commander Ji …… I’m not qualified to say that he’s a Jin Yi Wei, I think …… if he’s not loyal to His Majesty, His Majesty wouldn’t have entrusted him with such an important position, so… …I still keep my mouth shut for good.”
Zhu Di snapped, “If he was disloyal, I certainly wouldn’t have entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility, what you said makes sense.”
Zhang Anshi thought to himself, “What the hell did I say?
And in the hall behind them, a wailing sound came out.
That heart-rending sound seemed to tear through the air, teaching people to be chilled.
Listening to the wailing, Zhu Di remembered something at this time and said, “Do you think there is someone else behind this Lu Zhen?”
“I don’t dare to make a judgment easily.” Zhang Anshi thought for a moment and said, “It’s just that this matter is too big, they exchanged gold, they were able to quickly drive the price of gold directly up by 20%, so it’s obvious that they are powerful.”
“You mean …… they have stored a lot of gold and silver ……” Zhu Di said, “Yes. To rebel, you need people, money and food, and ……”
Zhu Di’s eyes were covered with blood, looking a little scary, as the leading person in the line of rebellion, Zhu Di obviously has a deep understanding of these.
Zhu Di said angrily, “The people who collude with them must be found out, they dare to buy my ministers and collaborate with them inside and outside, I must not keep them.”
As they were speaking, a eunuch hurried out from the hall, running to them with small steps and saying, “Your Majesty, Marquis Annan, that Lu Zhen confessed.”
Zhu Di was not in a hurry and said to the little eunuch, “What was confessed?”
“He said …… there were eleven other people involved …… four of whom were court officials, and one military official stationed in Beiping.”
“A military officer stationed in Beiping?” This had apparently aroused enough scorn in Zhu.
He smiled coldly and said, “Good one.”
Saying that, Zhu Di looked deeply at Zhang Anshi, and said under his breath, “That Thousandth Household Chen Li, will be yours to listen to in the future.”
Zhang Anshi snapped his head up to look at Zhu Di, puzzled, “What does Your Majesty mean ……”
Zhu Di, however, faintly said, “Give the order.”
The eunuch hastily bowed and listened.
Zhu Di said with his hands behind his back, “Zhang Anshi is the Commander of the Commander of the Jinyiwei, the East Side Thousand Households, which was changed to the Inner Thousand Households, is under the control of Zhang Anshi, and the Inner Thousand Households …… is responsible for the case of rebellion.”
Zhang Anshi: “……”
Zhang Anshi wasn’t very happy, and to be honest, he didn’t like working as a brocade guard.
In fact, this is also understandable, the hall of the royal relatives, can not dirty hands, at least the whole body must be clean and clean.
Yamen like Jin Yiwei, looks arrogant and domineering, but the essence is to do dirty work just.
Seeing his face with doubts, Zhu Di said, “In this matter, it is settled. I need to borrow you now, there are some people that I can’t trust.”
What else could Zhang Anshi say but, “I obey the decree.”
Zhu Di eventually led Zhang Anshi back into the main hall, where he then saw Lu Zhen’s confession.
This Lu Zhen only a tea work, has not human form in general, although the surface has no wounds, but his body as if he suffered countless pain in general, the whole person even stand can not stand up.
Commander Deng Wu said, “Your Majesty …… this is ……”
“From now on, you don’t have to be the Commander Commander.” Zhu Di took Deng Wu’s confession.
Deng Wu was astonished.
Zhu Di faintly said, “You take over as Tong Zhi, who killed himself a few days ago.”
Deng Wu was surprised and happy, and quickly fell to the ground and said, “Many …… thanks to your majesty.”
Zhu Di glanced down at the confession and wrinkled his brows, “Only these people?”
“It should be these people, he said …… these are the backbone, such things, too confidential, if too many people involved, but instead of too many people, may happen.”
Zhu Di handed the confession to Deng Wu: “Go and get the people, don t spare a single one, and their families …… should also be exhausted.”
After a pause, Zhu Di added, “I’m going to kill them all!”
Deng Wu said, “Obey the order.”
He had no more misgivings and hurried off.
Zhu Di, on the other hand, looked at Zhang Anshi and said gruffly, “This matter …… I think there is still something fishy, you have to monitor the capital inside and outside. Don’t look at you just Commander, but I let you do Commander, is to let you don’t have to to the tip of the storm, you can feel at ease to do the case of the eye of the adversity, as for what methods you use, all by you.”
Zhang Anshi said, “I obey the decree.”
Zhu Di’s face, at this time is a slight easing, and so that also lose ha from the Department of General Affairs to pass orders back, Zhu Di said, “Let the hundred officials dispersed it …… summoned Ji Gang to come.”
Yiluoha bowed her head and said, “The slave servant obeys the decree.”
In a few moments’ time, Kizuna came warily.
Zhu had his hands behind his back and didn’t say a word.
Ji Gang bowed down and said, “I …… have seen Your Majesty.”
Zhu Di faintly said: “three years ago, you in my account, although for the soldiers, but wait for nothing less than thoughtful, military information around, you can always get quickly, and inform me, there are several battles, are because you get the deployment of the southern army in advance, only to let me find the opportunity to break the enemy.”
Ji Gang’s eyes reddened and tears spilled down, “I am …… foolish ……”
“No, you are not foolish.” Zhu Di said with a cold face: “You are the heart of the mind has become more, if you do not have the ability, how would I entrust you with a big job? But people, when they have more heart eyes, it’s easy to get things done.”
Kizuna just felt like his heart was going to jump into his throat.
He could never guess what was in Zhu’s heart.
However, I heard Zhu Di say slowly again, “Last year, your nephew killed someone, and you still want to frame the sufferer?”
When Ji Gang heard this, he was shocked and said with fear and trepidation, “Your …… Majesty ……”
Zhu Di said, “There are still people and you do not deal with, you want to frame him, if not this person is sick and died, I am afraid …… that this person will become a chaotic party, right?”
Ji Gang has been scared de soul, tears, “I …… have the crime of ten thousand deaths.”
He didn’t dare to be sophomoric; right now, there was no other thought than to bend his head and confess his sins.
Zhu Di sighed: “I have always thought that you Ji Gang other perhaps there are flaws, but to me …… is still redoubtable loyalty.”
“Your Majesty, the heavens and the sun can tell how loyal I am to Your Majesty.”
Zhu Di smiled faintly, “I hope so, take care of yourself.”
Ji Gang was momentarily confused when he heard this.
He didn t expect …… His Majesty to turn his head and actually seem to not pursue the matter again.
If it was in the past, I am afraid that he would have already scolded him to death.
Kizuna was still hesitant to get up.
Zhu said, “Go.”
Only then did Ji Gang warily say, “Pei …… Pei …… thank you, Your Majesty.”
Said the man, red-eyed, and carefully excused himself.
Out of the temple.
Kizuna looked up, the redness in his eyes, hadn’t receded yet, but as he looked out at the sun, he had a sense of seeing the sun again.
He contemplated His Majesty’s attitude with an indescribable feeling, which caused a deeper and deeper fear in his heart.
Then …… he suddenly and coldly popped out two words from his teeth, “Deng Wu!”
Speaking softly, he hurried away.
…………
Zhu Di waited for Ji Gang to leave before turning his attention back to Zhang Anshi.
He glanced at Zhang Anshi and said, “Do a good job as your Commander, I have high hopes for you.”
Zhang Anshi obediently said, “Yes.”
Zhu smiled, “And all that gold and silver ……”
Zhang Anshi finally knew the meaning of high hopes, and immediately said, “Zhenjiang side, those gold and silver, as well as Lu Zhen’s mansion, I will copy them all, and will not miss a penny.”
Zhu sighed, “Go.”
Zhang Anshi excused himself and left in a hurry.
Zhu Di with his hands behind his back, looking at Zhang Anshi quickly disappeared back, a fierce look also lost ha: “Zhang Anshi will understand my intentions?”
Also Lostha said, “It will be understood, and it will not be understood.”
Zhu smiled, “What kind of words are these?”
Yiluoha was honest enough to voice his opinion, “He may only be able to appreciate the importance that His Majesty places on those gold and silver, but as for the rest of His Majesty’s deeper meaning, he may not be able to appreciate it.”
Zhu Di, however, said, “I do not see it this way, he is the smartest person, this time …… to catch Lv Zhen, he will set up a Herculean feat, full of the dynasty of civil and military, who can be as good as him?”
Yiluoha thought for a moment and said, “The slave girl dares to think that it is not the same. Catch the chaotic party, rely on is clever, but some things, but need life experience, slowly to realize.”
Zhu Di thought about it and then nodded, “What you said is not unreasonable. Lu’s full family, don’t leave a single one, cut off the roots.”
“Yes.”
…………
Zhang Anshi went out of the palace.
By the time he rode back to Qixia, Zhang Anshi was already exhausted.
These days are busy enough, but fortunately Zhang Anshi is young and can survive.
Zhu Jin had been waiting here for a long time, so Zhang Anshi instructed him, “The copying of the family should be done quickly, you should send more accountants, and all that gold and silver, keep a close eye on it.”
“Yes.”
Seeing that Zhang Anshi seemed preoccupied, Zhu Jin said with concern, “This time, the Marquis has made a great achievement, shouldn’t he be happy?”
Zhang Anshi wrinkled his brow and said, “I just feel strange …… always feel …… that things are not this simple.”
Zhu Jin looked at Zhang Anshi in dismay and said, “Is it not Lu Zhen?”
Zhang Anshi shook his head, but smiled and said, “No, of course it is Lu Zhen! But …… Lu Zhen such a person …… well …… in short, we have not wronged him, he is indeed the rebel, the only reason is … …Forget it, I won’t say it, into his mother, I just want to lie down now, and …… this marquis has broken the rebel party greatly, has become a thorn in the side of the rebel party, from now on, give me additional guards …… let that thousand households Chen Li, give me Prepare thirty or fifty competent school lieutenants …… to protect me day and night.”
Zhu Jin smiled, “Yes, marquis you thousand gold body, this world without you …… can how to be good, in order to let the big guys can live in peace and happiness, must be well protected marquis is.”
Zhang Anshi said, “Your horse’s ass stings my ears, get the hell out of here!”
…………
In the mansion of Fuzimiao.
Someone hurried to the depths of the inner house, and the visitor looked alarmed as he entered the small hall at a quick pace.
And here, there were still people sipping tea slowly, with a calm and relaxed look.
“Lu Gong …… was taken, along with …….”
“I already know.” The tea drinker sighed, “It’s a pity, it’s a pity, it’s a pity that the chess move was a mistake.”
“Those silvers ……”
The tea drinker said viciously, “Hmph, stop talking about these things.”
“Yes, yes.”
“In any case …… this time …… has suffered a big loss, without Lu Zhen, it’s like having less left arm and right arm ……”
“Will they follow Lu Zhen …… to your head.”
“No.” This person sipped his tea again, slowly settling down, he faintly said, “Lu Zhen is an extremely smart person, he knows that he must die, his family, will not stay. Good thing, his foreign room, and his foreign room born son, is still in our hands, if he will trick, always in our hands, but also have to leave a after. But if he dares to involve us, then this Lu family will not be able to leave anything, Zhu Di’s means, he has seen.”
“It’s just that this capital city …… is really dangerous ……”
This person shook his head: “Immediately going to do it, if this juncture, I’m not in the capital, ultimately can not rest assured, in fact,…… Lv Zhen no more, there are benefits, if they do not hold Lv Zhen, all day winds, but may be a bad thing for our good things, now it is very good, they gradually sparse defense , just the best time.”
“Yes ……”
The man stood up and sighed, “I really didn’t expect that the crown prince would have such a wife and brother ……”
He sighed and kept shaking his head.
Indescribable regret flowed from his brow.
…………
Jinyiwei.
Ji Gang coldly looked straight at Deng Wu.
And although the new Commanding Officer Tongzhi Deng Wu is slightly bowed, he looks calm and composed.
“Now that you have taken over Brother Liu’s position as a co-conspirator, congratulations.” Ji Gang said with a smile.
“This is all due to the Duke’s fulfillment.” Teng Wu was not humble.
Kizuna said, “No way, it’s your own skill.”
Deng Wu smiled, “It is all because of the words and teachings of the Governor, I have today, in the future, I will definitely step up my filial piety to the Governor.”
Kizuna only nodded as he suddenly said, “Is your family okay?”
“Good.” Teng Wu said, “My mother-in-law, has been chanting, Dudu has not come to the door for a long time, once upon a time, we brothers, often together, bitch personally cook, do some home cooking, Dudu has been praised.”
Ji Gang laughed, “These days, official business is too busy, when free, when to pay a visit.”
“Then my humble family is not to be flattered.”
“You go down, the matter of the Reverse Case is still to be thoroughly investigated, and in my opinion, it is not as simple as that.”
“Here.”
Deng Wu excused himself.
Ji Gang picked up the tealight, sipped the tea, and suddenly, as soon as he snapped the tealight in his hand, he ruthlessly dropped it on the ground.
Clunk ……
The tealight fell to pieces, along with the tea leaves and tea water in it splashing and shooting everywhere.
The clerk was shocked, kneeling on this broken ceramic tile, and at once, blood bubbled up from both knees as if it were a note: “Dudu ……”
Ji Gang said lightly, “Nothing, it’s just that the tea is cold, get a new pair.”
“Yes.”
Ji Gang took his seat and waited for the clerk to also leave, leaving him alone in this cold public room, Ji Gang s face suddenly became hideous and whispered, “Deng Wu …… then blame me for not being merciful.”
…………
After three days.
Zhang Anshi entered the palace for an audience in a hurry.
When Zhu Di heard that he had come, he showed a happy face.
Zhang Anshi joyfully said, “Your Majesty, copied out the number, oops …… this Lu Zhen, gave Your Majesty a big gift ah.”
Zhu Di said, “Don’t say it first, let me guess, it’s one million taels?”
Zhang Anshi said, “How could Your Majesty look down on Lu Zhen so much?”
Zhu Di said, “Could it be that …… there are three million taels?”
Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty …… is three million seven hundred and forty four thousand taels.”
When Zhu Di heard this, he was astonished, “How can there be so many?”
Zhang Anshi was also happy, “Yes, that’s why …… I came to tell your majesty one good thing and one bad thing.”
Zhu said, “What’s the bad thing?”
Zhang Anshi said, “The good thing is of course …… that your majesty has made another fortune, your majesty …… you are stuffing your teeth, this is all silver in your teeth, is it not worth being happy? Just this bad thing is …… such a large amount of silver …… from where? That Lu Zhen …… is the Minister of Rites is right, there are other those party …… are really not unusual people, but the problem is …… I still can not imagine, they are private, from where Get so much silver ……”
Zhu looked up, “So you feel that the matter has not yet passed.”
Zhang Anshi said, “Yes, I think …… Lu Zhen is just the tip of the iceberg.”
“This person and then scrutinize a trial.” Zhu Di said, “Any kind of torture is greeted on him, I don’t believe, he still won’t open his mouth.”
Zhang Anshi said, “I think so too.”
Zhu Di was surprised and said, “You this guy …… is not another ghost idea?”
Zhang Anshi coughed, “Your Majesty, I am a decent person, I don t engage in crooked ways, my brother-in-law has always taught me that men are great …….”
“Alright, alright.” Zhu Di said, “What the fuck are you doing with me babbling about this. Really outrageous, I want results …… just results!”
Zhang Anshi said, “I am now making some preparations, and soon …… there will be results.”
“What preparations?”
Zhang Anshi hesitantly said, “This, I’m afraid that for a moment I can’t say ……”
Zhu Di glared at him, “Then give me immediately do it properly, I wait for your good news, I am now …… always wondering …… who in the end is the accomplice.”
Zhang Anshi nodded, “Then I’ll take my leave, please give me three days, Your Majesty.”
As he exited the hall, he happened to meet someone head on and almost collided with Zhang Anshi.
As soon as Zhang Anshi saw this person, he grinned, “So it’s Your Highness King Zhao, Your Highness has come to see His Majesty?”
King of Zhao Zhu Gao Suo pulled Zhang An Shi’s hand intimately and refused to let go, “Brother Zhang, we are relatives, you don’t have to be so raw, this king has known your great name for a long time, and has been saying to his royal brother that he wants to meet with you, but it’s a pity that you’re so busy.”
