Chapter 19: The Emperor’s Grandson

Zhang Anshi first met his sister Zhang, and cried to Zhang holding his head, “Sister, I’ve been kidnapped, those thieves, all of them are vicious, I almost can’t see my sister …… Sister, you quickly persuade your brother-in-law to send a hundred or eighty guards to protect me… …”

“I’m so miserable, a dozen people beat me up, if it wasn’t for the fact that I convinced people with my virtue and reasoned with them, I would have died without a burial place today.”

Zhang was shocked and immediately ordered the eunuchs to call Zhu Gaoqi.

Zhu Gaoqi came in with a big belly, because his feet were in a hurry, he almost tripped over the threshold when he entered the hall.

He stumbled and exclaimed, “Anshi, is everything alright, the palace has come to see.”

Zhang Anshi said with a resigned face, “It’s also my luck that I almost had something happen.”

Zhu Gaoqi carefully scrutinized Zhang Anshi and made sure that Zhang Anshi had no external injuries, but soon, he, the good-tempered crown prince, also burst into a rage, “There is such a bold thief in the world, where were you robbed?”

Zhang Anshi said, “Not far from Zhang’s house, they took a sack and put it over my head and ran away with me on their backs.”

Zhu Gaoqi said, “This matter must not be left unsettled, Anshi, you must be careful from now on. This palace will personally go to Yingtianfu and order them to find out the cause of the case, these thieves can’t run away.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Brother-in-law, you have to send a hundred or eighty guards ……”

“This will wait to be found out ……”

“The guards still have to eat and drink, so many people …… will not be able to afford it? How about ……”

Zhu Gaoqi said, “Now is not the time to talk about this, this palace first wants to wipe out the thieves.”

…………

Zhang Anshi was sad to find that the hundred and eighty guards did not get anything, but as a result, on the next day, he was called to the bedchamber by Zhang.

Zhang was holding the young Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji is an imperial grandson, fleshy, the flesh and blood of the Crown Prince and Zhang, Zhang dotedly glanced at Zhu Zhanji: “My son really understands things, at a young age, he can already recite poems.”

Zhang Anshi smiled and stared at his nephew, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of affection in his heart, “Yes, a good boy, he will definitely be more conscientious than his brother-in-law in the future, and treat me better.”

But in the twinkling of an eye, Zhang s cold as frost: “I have a brother like you, really restless day and night, not a day of peace, others are envious of our Zhang family, saying that our Zhang family is very rich …… but how much hard work during this period, only I know myself.”

“Ah…… A sister how to say such a thing.”

“You’re not even as good as Juniper, just look at it, you’re old enough, yet you still believe what you’re told on a daily basis. ”

Zhang Anshi said, “I’m innocent. ”

“Also said wrongly accused, thanks to your highness yesterday worry, first went to Yingtianfu, but Yingtianfu’s servants to poke around, also did not hear people say someone carrying a sack to woo the city. And did not see any outlaws. Later, His Highness is still not assured, and went to ask the five cities military division and the five military governor’s office, also did not hear anyone say that there are any outlaws in the neighborhood. Anshi ah, you really by Zhu Yong and Zhang yoking those two lawless people taught bad, this continues, how can be.”

After saying this, she began to sob, wiping her tears with her sleeve: “Why am I so miserable! All the other brothers are fine, should I suffer like this? If father is alive and knows that you are so unaware, how should I face him if I die in the future.”

Zhang Anshi: “……”

Zhu Zhanji frowned his little eyebrows on the side, seeing his mother consort crying, he also had a heavy look on his face, shook his mother’s arm once and said, “Mother consort, not afraid, A-Uncle is no good, there’s still me.”

Zhang Anshi: “……”

This time, in fact, even Zhang Anshi was confused.

It’s not possible to make a big change.

Those guards are obviously waving, carrying him …… such a big sack, those people are blind?

Or perhaps Yingtianfu had perfunctorily taken care of his brother-in-law?

No, that’s never possible, where would they have the guts to slack off on something the Crown Prince asked to be investigated?

The more Zhang Anshi thought about it, the more unimaginable he felt. He even thought, “Could it be that the man, in fact, is on official business in Yingtian Prefecture, and is the governor of Yingtian Prefecture, and that is why he was able to cover up the matter?

However, looking at that fellow, he is clearly a chowderhead, where is the semblance of a civil servant.

When Zhang cried, Zhang Anshi found it unbearable and fled.

Since the Crown Prince was unwilling to draw guards to protect him, Zhang Anshi thought carefully, there were some servants at home, like Zhang San or something.

Of course …… Zhang San such a person can t be counted on, the other side of seven or eight, but also like a man who has killed people, Zhang San such goods, even if there are twenty or thirty on his side, Zhang Anshi also feels uneasy.

Thinking about it, since there is no one to keep him safe, it s better to simply …… obey.

As the saying goes, a change in perception broadens the horizon, Zhang Anshi felt that he chose to coexist with that dude, but instead, his heart was much broader.

So Zhang Anshi drummed up the medicine with all his heart for a few days, and after a few attempts, he finally filtered and extracted that ‘green hair’, which he carefully packed in a porcelain bottle and hid it close to his body.

Things are ready, but the old not see those people to find the door, this rather let Zhang Anshi heart uneasy.

I’m not afraid of thieves stealing, but I’m afraid of thieves thinking about it!

Then thought carefully, the other party is in Zhang Yoking’s mansion robbed him, could it be ……

Everything was as Zhang Anshi expected, when he was visiting Zhang Yoking, this time he went out without climbing over the wall, but just after leaving the center door, only after turning a street, he saw a familiar face.

That dude is not there, but it is a guard by his side, the guard holding his hand, although it is an unusual person’s cloth clothes in the body, but all over the body, there is a kind of pugnacity beyond the ordinary people.

The man smiled faintly at Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi immediately said, “Don’t set your head, I want my face.”

Instead, the man reached out, “Where’s the medicine?”

Zhang Anshi then took out the medicine from his arms and handed it to this person, “This medicine, I can not say that I am sure …….”

As he spoke, the man had collected the medicine; he seemed to be silent, and every word he spoke was as if it were a gift to the person.

“Dude didn’t come?”

The man looked at Zhang Anshi with a meaningful look, but without replying, he turned around and left.

…………

August 17, the second year of the Yongle.

The three Ryukyu countries paid tribute together, King Shannan died, his younger brother Yingzu reported the funeral, because King Shannan had no heir, Yongle Emperor Edicted his younger brother Yingzu to be the King of Shannan, and gave him the seal of the King of Shannan.

On the same day, Su, Song two provinces into a big water trouble, Wujiang area is particularly bad, low field all no, farmers car water to save the field, abdominal starvation and exhaustion, crying to the sky. Stronger people eat chaff mixed with diamond endive Nymphoides, young and old into the city to beg, more cast in the river.

The sangha was sent to Zhu Di’s desk, and Zhu Di’s face looked worried.

Suzhou and Songjiang are the most important grain-producing areas in Jiangnan, and a disaster here would certainly affect the treasury’s revenue that year.

At this time, Zhu Di with a Zhu pen, pondering, then Zhu batch down: “fixed Su, Song and other provinces flooded to the rice rules: each large mouth of rice a bucket, six to fourteen years old, six liters, five years old and the following do not with. Each household has a large mouth of more than ten people only with a stone. For those who were not suffering from a total disaster and had a shortage of food, the rules for borrowing rice were as follows: one mouth borrowed one bucket of rice, two mouths to five mouths borrowed two buckets of rice, six mouths to eight mouths borrowed three buckets of rice, and nine mouths to ten mouths or more borrowed four buckets of rice. After the fall harvest, they would return the bucket to the government.”

After the Zhu approval, Zhu Di looked up, but saw Yilungha tiptoeing in, hunched over and saying, “Your Majesty.”

Zhu Di rested his hand on the imperial case and lightly said, “Well ……”

Yizhuoha said, “There is something to be done by the brocade guards.”

It’s a new week, so I’m asking for some support!
