Chapter 172 has one hundred and seventy-two chapters: the truth is revealed

Zhang Anshi saw the sincere look on Zhu Gao Su’s face, so he also smiled and said, “His Highness the King of Zhao came to the capital for so many days, but I didn’t even go to pay my respects, the sin of ten thousand deaths.”

Zhu Gao Suire laughed: “Although you and I are rusty on weekdays, but we have been divine friends for a long time, this king first went to pay his respects to his father, and the next time, I will definitely not get drunk with you.”

Zhang Anshi let out a huh, and staggered his body with Zhu Gao Suo, parting ways with each other.

The next day, Zhu Gaoqi let someone invite Zhang Anshi to meet at the East Palace.

After the two met, he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking a little annoyed.

And then frowned and said, “The Commander of the Jinyiwei Commander Commander …… Father is trying to teach you to be a cool official, and it is not a good thing to have blood on your hands.”

Leading soldiers to fight is different from jinyiwei, generals fight foreign enemies and rebels, but jinyiwei is different, it is specifically targeting a group of people, and this group of people, in the Ming Dynasty has an unparalleled right to speak.

For Zhang Anshi to have another position, Zhu Gaoqi was not happy at all, and even worriedly said, “Anshi, Father is trying to make you become like Ji Gang.”

Zhang Anshi looked at his brother-in-law’s nervousness, and while his heart was moved, he said in relief, “Brother-in-law relax, I won’t be a Jijiang.”

Zhu Gaoqi, however, sighed and said, “I still want to petition, please father to withdraw the order, even if it is to transfer you into the other guards can be, but only the brocade guards …… is really worrying ah.”

Zhang Anshi did not say anything, he felt that his brother-in-law may not understand his father, his emperor father wanted to set things, not easily be able to change.

Zhu Gaoqi added at this time, “That Master Zheng ……”

Speaking of this, Zhu Gaoqi had someone call Zhu Junji.

Zhu Zhanji looked as if he had died.

Zhu Gaoqi said to him, “Things, you’ve heard, right?”

Zhu Zhanji said sullenly, “I heard, Master Zheng is too miserable, I heard that his family of twenty seven mouths, only sixteen survived, I also heard …… that.”

Zhu Gaoqi sighed, “Ai …… pity ……”

Zhang Anshi said, “Brother-in-law, think on the bright side, Master Zheng has always wished to share His Majesty’s worries on a regular basis, so this time, won’t it fulfill his wish?”

Zhu Zhanji said with a twitch, “Yes, Master Zheng said every day that a subject should go through fire and water for his father and ruler, family, country and world, there is nothing in the world that is more important than the altars of the earth and grain. For the whole of the altar of grain, it is to break his body into pieces, I did not expect that he sacrificed himself to such a point for the sake of the reverse case, my son grew up, I want to give him to repair a living shrine, to honor his achievements.”

Zhu Gaoqi: “……”

After a pause, Zhu Gaoqi was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, “That Ji Gang …… is vicious to this point, the father is still keeping this person. Such a cool official, in the future this palace will be executed.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Yes, yes, Ji Gang is not a thing, brother …… in law I think that His Majesty asked me to go to the Jinyiwei, probably to let me check and balance Ji Gang.”

“Is that so?” Zhu Gaoqi wrinkled his brows and said, “In that case, this palace is even more worried. You are so young and this person is cruel and murderous, exterminating humanity ……”

“Father rest assured.” Zhu Zhanji said, “Although A uncle’s hair is not even long, but A uncle has always said that to be a man is to be better to good people and more treacherous to treacherous people, and A uncle even Master Zheng ……”

Zhang Anshi hastily covered his mouth with one hand.

As Zhu Zhanji struggled to break away from Zhang Anshi’s hand, he added, “A-Uncle won’t eat Ji Gang’s losses.”

Zhu Gaoqi said, “What do you know at such a young age?”

Zhang Anshi is busy is digressing from the topic: “Brother-in-law …… I see …… Master Zheng he is overly sad, since I’m afraid that it is not appropriate to come to Zhanfu to teach Zhanji to read.”

“Hmm?” Zhu Gaoqi took a sideways glance at Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi patiently explained, “Not to mention the fact that so many people died in his family, at this time he is heartbroken, I am afraid that he does not have the heart to teach Junji. Moreover, I heard someone say that if a person suffers a big change, he will inevitably lose his mind, and if it is unfavorable to Junji, this ……”

Zhu Gaoqi said with slight hesitation, “If so, wouldn’t it be like throwing stones down a well? This is not what a gentleman would do.”

Zhang Anshi said, “You can let him rest at home, the salary and rewards that should be given, not at all less, he has to organize the funeral, but also to memorialize their wives and children, I’m afraid that there is no time to come over.”

Zhu Gaoqi nodded, “I will report this matter to my father.”

After easily slipping out from Zhu Gaoqi, Zhang Anshi breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing Zhu Zhanji trailing behind him, he turned around and said, “What are you doing following me?”

Zhu Zhanji opened a pair of big bright eyes and said, “Uncle, Master Zheng is so miserable.”

Zhang Anshi stopped and smiled, “Yes, Ji Gang is too hateful.”

Still gazing at Zhang Anshi, Zhu Zhanji said, “But I think this should be caused by A-Uncle.”

Zhang Anshi was furious: ”Heavens, whose nephew are you anyway? Why are you turning your elbow outward at such a young age? It is said that nephews are like uncles, but how can a virtuous man like A uncle ……”

Zhu Zhanji tilted his head, but said, “Indeed, it was A-Uncle who did it.”

Instead, Zhang Anshi put away his intense expression and calmly said, “How can you see that?”

“When Aunty’s heart is weak, he has to be so startled, as if the sky is falling.”

Zhang Anshi: “……”

“I was just testing A-Uncle, but I didn’t expect A-Uncle to confess without a fight.”

Zhang Anshi looked around before saying, “Can’t you keep your voice down?”

Zhu Zhanji sat on his butt on a plate of stone piers, with his feet dangling from the high stone piers and swaying, and said on one side, “But A-Uncle, why did you want to harm Master Zheng?”

“I’m not harming him.” Zhang Anshi said with a serious face, “I’m saving him.”

“Save him?” Zhu Zhanji blinked.

Zhang Anshi said, “His son, and his relatives, relying on the fact that he is your master, in the capital rampant lawlessness, than our three ferocious …… no, is the four ferocious still bad, can be said to be full of evil, sooner or later, one day, he is going to be his own son and his relatives to the harm, you see now well, these people are either dead or crippled, can not harm him, not for his good?”

Zhu Zhanji frowned and began to fall into deep thought again.

The reasoning seems to be such a reasoning that is ……

Taking advantage of Zhu Zhanji’s pondering, Zhang Anshi has already run away in a puff of smoke, only dropping a sentence, “Good nephew, uncle still has official business, see you again.”

…………

Zhu Jin was called by Zhang Anshi again.

Zhang Anshi said, “How are the preparations going?”

“People have been looking for, but …… there are many marquis you accounted for, let them learn it, marquis rest assured …… within three or five days, it can be done.”

Zhang Anshi nodded his head, “Hey, it’s not easy for you, when this is done, I will allow you a half day leave, you take a break, but don’t tire yourself, pay attention to your body.”

Rarely Zhang Anshi so warm, Zhu Jin somewhat moved: “can serve for the marquis, I am willing to go through fire and water …….”

Zhang Anshi said: “less nagging, hurry to work, find the people, must not let them make mistakes. In addition, the money bank you have to go today, now is our money bank expansion of a good time, can not miss. Oh, there are shipping side ……… some accounts seem to not be right, you finished the money bank, by the way to deal with it.”

Zhu Jin nodded his head and waist: “Yes, yes …… little …… little will do his best.”

Zhang Anshi sighed again, “You must feel like you’re having a hard time, but what’s the solution, you’re my right hand man well, I can’t leave you.”

Zhu Jin suddenly had a high fighting spirit: “A soldier dies for a friend, just for these words, I’m willing to die even if I have to.”

After giving Zhu Jin a boost, Zhang Anshi once again returned to the dungeon set up in this mansion.

Here, Chien-Li, the thousandth man, personally carries out the execution.

And Lu Zhen pretty much confessed.

Even Chen Li couldn’t help but be a little skeptical, and when he saw Zhang Anshi coming, he said, “Marquis, I feel that he should have confessed to everything, and I really can’t ask anything else.”

Zhang Anshi frowned and shook his head, “No, I think there should be something else hidden.”

Chen Li then said, “Yes, surely there is still hiding something, marquis you go to rest, small custodian teach him to speak,”

Zhang Anshi glared at him and said, “Don’t try to fool me with the same thing you did at the Jinyiwei, there’s no use in flexing your muscles.”

Chen Li was greatly embarrassed.

Zhang Anshi said, “Clean him up, eat something, and I’ll talk to him.”

After a little over half an hour.

In a small hall, a haggard looking Lu Zhen was invited, he could hardly stand up, two lieutenants assisted him to sit down.

Zhang Anshi said, “Pour him tea.”

A lieutenant then brought tea.

Zhang Anshi sighed and said, “Why are you so bitter, the Minister of Rites, but even to this situation today.”

“Willing to gamble.” Lu Zhen said with a frustrated look on his face, “Now I only wish for a quick death.”

Zhang Anshi said, “You are still hiding something in your heart, right, if you say it and confess to leniency, I will definitely report to His Majesty, at least …… you can protect your family.”

Lu Zhen heard it, but was unmoved, “These words, if they were said to other people, perhaps they would believe it, but ……… Marquis, do you think that the old man will believe it?”

He closed his eyes and then said, “When the old man was exposed in the east window, he knew …… that all the flukes were gone, and it was only the difference of how to die. What’s more, what the old man should say has been said, why should the marquis be so bitter?”

Anyone who listened to Lu Zhen’s words at this time could not help but be moved by them, because he was choking on his sobs, and it seemed that Chen Li’s means were indeed extraordinary.

Zhang Anshi, however, said, “Is that so? In that case, when you were in Beiping, you colluded with the Mongolian Tartar Ministry through the mutual market, who was the person who contacted you?”

Lu Zhen said: “Tartar Department of Ben Ya Lun Li Khan, he has long had a unified Mongolia, restore the northern Yuan’s great ambition, so heard that in the Central Plains there are still many like the old man such as the Yuan legacy of the ministers, was very happy, secretly gave the old man a lot of rewards, and promised that in the future, I was appointed as a right prime minister of the Central Book.”

Zhang Anshi looked at Lu Zhen with a smile and said, “You have explained that many people are your accomplices, and these accomplices, but all of them have not been wrongly accused, and they have all explained that they are willing to support the former Yuan, and to serve the Tartar Ministry ……… However, I think that there are still some things that you did not say.”

Lu Zhen said, “What can’t the old man say when he has reached this point today? A man who is about to die, his words are good, so why is the Marquis being forced to this point.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Those silvers, how did you raise them?”

“On the one hand, is secretly export some pig iron as well as tea and other things to the desert, and the desert side, to supply us with fur, so as to make some benefits. In addition …… to this is the Tartar Department has some wealth in hand, would like to strengthen for the old man a momentum.”

“They have so much silver?” Zhang Anshi sneered.

Lu Zhen said, “Accumulation of less becomes more, the matter of the accounts, the old man manages less, are the disposition of the lower people.”

Zhang Anshi sighed and said, “You must have heard of me.”

Lu Zhen nodded, “I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Zhang Anshi stood up, “Maybe this outside many people, I have a misunderstanding …… that I Zhang Anshi is not a good person.”

“This is, of course, a blackmail from someone outside who is jealous of me.”

When Zhang Anshi said this, he actually got very serious, to a person who was about to die, there was no need for Zhang Anshi to tell lies, he sighed again, “But in reality, I’m a really good-hearted person, I can’t see blood, and I can’t see anything in the world that is overly tragic.”

“Even …… even like you such a rebellious party, if you are executed, of course, is also self-inflicted, but in my opinion, someone crime off the head, and be tortured to death is not the same, I can not bear to the world have such a miserable thing happen, so I and Ji Gang they are not the same. Just ……”

Zhang Anshi paused here, and suddenly his face started to become nonchalant, his voice rose a little higher, and he coldly looked at Lu Zhen and said, “It’s just that this kind of goodness in my heart, there is a limit to it, and if by now, you are still obsessed and unrepentant, then …… Lu Zhen, I’m telling you, you’re going to die a horrible death , there are some things that you can’t imagine, I wish you well!”

Lu Zhen lowered his head and was silent.

Zhang Anshi didn’t say anything else and, with an iron face, walked out.

Out of this small hall, Zhang Anshi found himself sweating for a while, this is an indescribable feeling, he has always been pure and kind, but somehow, just in the moment just now, in the depths of his heart, it was born a little bit of hostility.

“Hey …… brocade guards are really not people do ah, have to teach people to go to the temple to send a few hundred taels of incense and oil money to be good, do not give the Buddha to send some silver, always feel that the heart is not solid.

…………

Fuzimiao.

In the middle of the mansion.

The sound of the piano builds up.

This zither sound is like high mountains and flowing water, the gurgling sound of flowing water Xu Xu, like and the breeze clip companion together, even in this mansion, also a few more aura.

Just then, someone stepped in, “Hear ……”

The sound of the piano came to an abrupt end.

And then …… the person who played the piano had a huffy face.

The visitor took a wincing step back and kept his mouth shut.

The person playing the piano seems to try to continue to stroke the piano, but unfortunately …… tried the tone, and finally sighed: “The heart is messed up, do not play, say it, what is the matter?”

“On the side of the brocade guards, there’s no peace.”

“This is something that has long been known.” The person who played the zither said, “It is not difficult to guess, Ji Gang this person …… is very interesting, he is really a person who is not defeated ah, that new Tongzhi, is it called Deng Wu?”

“Yes, it is this man.”

The person playing the zither faintly said, “This person is a mediocrity, it is impossible for Zhu Di not to know ……”

“Such a mediocre talent, promoted to the position of Tongzhi …… can see that Zhu is also no more than an er.”

The person playing the zither shook his head and said: ”You are wrong, this person is also nothing more than Zhu Di’s pawn, Ji Gang is a pawn, so is this person. Do you know what a pawn is? The function of a chess piece, apart from achieving one’s own goal, is that it can be discarded at any time. Zhu Di doesn’t care who is a co-conspirator. What he wants …… is to break the intertwined joints in the Jinyiwei at the moment, so that he can clear the obstacles for the future …… people he really trusts.”

“Instead, the villain is confused, it seems that that Ji Gang and Deng Wu is also confused, to the present day …… even do not know that Zhu Di heart is malicious, if they are like you this ……”

The person playing the zither laughed and said: ”You are wrong, Ji Gang is also considered to be a great man, as for that Deng Wu, can step by step get Ji Gang’s trust, become the Commander of the Jinyiwei Commanders Commander, and now for the Tongzhi, will never be a confused person. Just this world, no matter how smart people, once in the chess game, it is inevitable that the authorities are lost. Doesn’t that Ji Gang know that His Majesty has changed towards him? No, he knows better than anyone else, but even at this point, he still wants to gamble. The more he thinks he might become a castaway, instead, the more he will struggle to survive, and the more he senses the danger, the more desperate and desperate he will be.”

“This has nothing to do with smart or not, only cares about the nature of man, the man in the water, knowing that the straw floating over useless, but how, he will still try to grab, is this man in the water is also stupid? Not also, this is Zhu Di’s powerful place, you do not see him reckless, at every turn to kill, but if you really become his opponent, he will not be quick to cut through the mess, but always put you in the state of the water, teach you time and time again want to ask for life, and then do one thing after another stupid things, until everything can not be undone, and so on, you really to the death of the time to look back on this horrible process, only to know that their own stupidity to the extent of what. .”

“The one who knows Zhu best in the world is probably you.”

“Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will win a hundred battles.” This person’s hand stroked on the strings of the zither, and gently plucked them again, his ears turned sideways, listening to the sound of the zither carefully, and on the other hand, he said, “In order to achieve great things, if you don’t even have this point, how can you succeed? Now, things can’t be turned back, pass down the order, early action it! Success or failure is here, while now Jin Yi Wei is stuck in infighting, while that Zhu Di still thinks he has exhausted the so-called chaotic party, now is the best time.”

“Yes.”

The person playing the piano said, a weary face: “Within ten days, everything can be seen, hey …… in fact, if not Lu Zhen defeat, really do not want to go to this step ah.”

He shook his head and smiled bitterly.

………………

“Your Majesty.”

Also Lostha hurried into the temple.

Zhu Di was sitting at this time, and was carefully reviewing the sangs.

It was only when he heard the voice of Yiluoha that he looked up and said, “What is it again?”

Yiluoha said, “There is Zhang Anshi’s sangha.”

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows slightly, “Hm? Over at Qixia, is there any movement?”

Yizhi Lostha said, “There’s no movement.”

Zhu frowned lightly and said, “Didn’t continue to follow the trail and catch people?”

“No.” Yishakha answered honestly.

Zhu Di nodded, thoughtfully said, “Is …… this pile of Chin case, just I and Zhang Anshi multi hearted, all this is just Lu Zhen did?”

Of course, Zhu was clearly not inquiring about Yizhuha, but muttering.

Because this fact is fishy, Lu Zhen looks like a person who can’t survive the torture, it is impossible to still pry his mouth.

Zhu Di lowered his head and contemplated for a moment before jerking his head up again to look at Yilungha, “Fetch the zhengshi.”

Immediately afterward, Yiluoha presented the sangha and came forward.

Zhu opened it and muttered, “This kid ……”

“Your Majesty …… this is ……”

Zhu Di laughed and handed the zhengshi to Yiluoha, saying as he did so, “Read it yourself.”

Also lost Ha nodded, tiptoeing to take the zhengshi, open a look, then see this zhengshi, wrote …… have found the key clues, just …… hope to enter the palace to try, hope that his majesty to let out a side hall to, by the inner thousand households to set up, then you can The water falls out.

Zhu Di looked at also lost Ha Road: “This guy and his mother in the show mystery …… how and Yao master, but also that Jin Zhong a line of virtue!”

Yiluoha didn’t dare to talk, knowing that any of the people here was someone he didn’t want to mess with.

Zhu Di at this time, but said: “Pass me the oracle, I permit, tell Zhang Anshi that boy, tomorrow at a quarter past dawning, once the palace door is open, permit him to set up in this martial arts building next to the supporting building.”

Yiluoha hurriedly and respectfully said, “The slave girl obeys the decree.”

Zhu Di then added, “Since the water is going to fall out, let both Ji Gang and Teng Wu of the Brocade Guards come to take a look at it as well, so that they can learn a good lesson, and summon them here as well.”

The corners of Yiluoha’s mouth slightly hooked up a smile, his eyes inadvertently swept through a trace of ulterior motives, and then flickered, and then honestly said, “Slave girl obeyed the decree.”

…………

Last night, Zhang Anshi had a good night’s sleep.

When you get up, you feel energized.

And at this time, the day was still young, Zhu Yong and Zhu Jin several people, had long been waiting outside.

Zhang Anshi hurriedly washed and dressed, then came out from his residence and laughed, “Haha …… I didn’t expect you guys to get up earlier than me, Zhu Jin, can it all be ready?”

Zhu Jin hurriedly said, “It’s ready as per your orders, Your Excellency.”

Zhang Anshi looked at Qianhu Chen Li again, “And did Lu Zhen raise his spirits?”

Chen Li said, “It has been nourished.”

Zhang Anshi nodded his head with satisfaction: “Very good. Seeing everyone make such an effort, I, Zhang Anshi, am truly enraptured, the so-called tiger fighting pro-brothers, on the battlefield father and son, it is true that the talents of one’s own family are secure ah, and today’s sky is also very good, I can’t help but be inspired by the poem, into the motherfucking Lv Zhen, I must break him into pieces today.”

Zhu Jin and Chen Li, as well as Zhu Yong and a few others, each looked at Zhang Anshi solemnly, with a sidelong look.

However, seeing that Zhang Anshi did not move for a long time, Zhu Jin cautiously said, “Marquis, where is your poem?”

Zhang Anshi stared wide-eyed and said, “Didn’t you already read it?”

“Ah ……”

“Enter.”

“Motherfucker.”

“Lu Zhen.”

“Today ……”

“Non will he.”

“In pieces.”

“No!”

“It’s stream of consciousness, and you’re too talented and uneducated to realize the power of this poem.”

Zhu Jin happy, thumbs up: “I’m stupid, now listen to the marquis your reminder, this is the afterthought, this poem is really shocked four, can be said to be more ancient never, marquis you do not talk about the law, but even when the poetry fairy Li Bai that general unrestrained and suave, especially that last sentence ‘can not’ Especially the last line ‘cannot’, it is really unforgettable. Those mediocre poems in the world today, compared with your poem, it is really a heaven and a hell.”

Chen Li held his tongue for half a day before saying, “Good poem, good poem!”

Only Zhu Yong and Zhang Yoking, as if just woke up in general, eyes open copper bells big, but unfortunately have eyes without pearls, still confused look.

Qiu Song said expressionlessly, “Big brother, don’t nag, do the serious thing.”

Zhang Anshi said, “This fourth brother of mine is just monkeyish, haha ……”

Zhu Jin and Chen Li both laughed dryly, “Haha ……”

Chuson glared at them and they couldn’t laugh anymore.

Zhang Anshi said: ”Alright, don’t even nag, Zhu Jin, you quickly go and bring up that person. Chen Li, you take a step into the palace first and make the arrangements. Second brother follow me, third and fourth brother standby in the model camp, if there is any movement in the capital, such as fireworks or wolf smoke in the sky, this means, I have already asked for a decree to transfer you into the city, you enter Nanking City with all speed.”

After a moment’s pause, Zhang Anshi, his face unusually serious, added, “Remember it’s fireworks or wolfsbane, not a fucking gunpowder explosion.”

Zhang Yoking was busy saying, “Oh, oh, oh, oh, we know.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Split up.”

…………

Lu Zhen was tied up by his eyes, while he was thrown into the carriage.

Since the last time Zhang Anshi interrogated him, Chen Li had not tortured him again.

He was in the dungeon, but he was at peace for a few days, and at this time, his spirit gradually returned to normal.

But he had only slightly recovered some of his spirit, and these days of torture had not only crushed his physical body, but also his spirit, which was close to collapsing over and over again.

The carriage was bumping along for close to an hour before it finally stopped.

Someone escorted Lu Zhen down, then escorted him forward.

Into the Palace ……

It was clear to Lu Zhen that the ground he was stepping on was masonry that was only found in the palace.

This Forbidden City, he had been in and out many times, the difference in this masonry, he has long known by heart.

But at this moment, his mind was gathering doubts.

Why …… would you be in the palace at this time?

Is His Majesty going to try him in person?

What else are they going to ask?

Countless questions came and went.

Soon, he arrived at a place, and actually at that moment, he was asked to take a seat.

The black cloth that had been over his eyes was also removed.

Lu Zhen’s eyes snapped open and he blinked in some discomfort, but he also knew that he should be in one of the palace’s side halls after taking in the scenery in front of him.

Here, apart from Zhu Yong, who was escorting him, there were a few eunuchs, who were at that moment making a final sweep of this small hall, all of them with their heads bowed down, and no one paid any attention to him.

And at this moment ……

Zhu Di is standing outside the window of this remote hall, without entering the hall, this position, the people inside are not easy to find him.

At this moment, he was carrying his hands behind his back, his face grave, and glanced at Zhang Anshi, who was standing aside, and said, “How’s it going?”

“Your Majesty.” Zhang Anshi whispered, “I …… can do it.”

Zhu Di nodded, “Do you want me to go with you?”

Zhang Anshi said, “It can and cannot be done.”

Zhu impatiently said, “Then the hell is it possible or not?”

“But, but …… whatever His Majesty says.”
