Chapter 258.

Zheng Zhi is timid.

As soon as he heard that the stuff was actually poisonous, the man nearly fainted.

Because …… in the beginning, the self was able to see that night pearl with his own eyes.

To that thing, so far Zheng Chi is hard to forget, the heart has been marveling that there is such a treasure in the world.

But where did it occur to me that Zhang Anshi, this unscrupulous thing, would take it and use it to harm people.

No wonder he had always felt tired and weak these past few days, and his spirits were low.

Zheng Zhi at first, thought it was just an occasional infection of wind and cold.

But …… actually whether it is the influence of that night pearl or not, he can t say.

But for Zheng Chi, it actually doesn t matter, because …… he wants to live.

I’m not afraid of anything!

The old man still wants to live to a ripe old age!

Perhaps it was because of hearing the bad news, so the current Zheng Chi, with his eyes glazed over and his face unusually pale, looked like a living dead person.

The crowd looked at him and abruptly perceived that this Minister Zheng, but for some unknown reason, seemed to have aged ten years at once.

That imperial historian, Chen Jia, had no words for a moment and could only frown and look at Zheng Chi with a speechless face.

Zhang Anshi listened, but only felt that Zheng Chi, in all probability, was psychological.

So, they comforted him, “Zheng Gong, don’t be afraid, that bead, won’t harm you, don’t you realize, that bead is installed in a box? This box, is specially made, is to prevent the poison of that bead to the exposure, Zheng Gong don’t panic …….”

Zheng Chi heard, then wailed, “But …… but …… that box, old man …… old man opened… …”

He said this, his face was like ashes, this is good, he made a death, touching the porcelain can not find the wrongdoer.

Zhang Anshi immediately said, “What, you actually opened the box? Hey …… this is not about me, that box, I have deliberately let people sealed, it is you who did it yourself.”

Zheng Chi had a look of despair on his face, but he looked at Zhang Anshi steadily and said, “I wonder if there is a cure for the poison, Marquis Annan? Laofu …… Laofu ……”

Zhang Anshi shattered his hopes very directly, saying, “There is no cure for this poison.”

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Chi’s eyes began to roll up and down, showing signs of fainting at any time.

Zhang Anshi felt that he was ultimately soft-hearted, and kindly comforted him, “But if you are only exposed to it occasionally, this toxicity is not deep, and at most, it will only have some impact on your health, don’t worry, you won’t die.”

After saying these words, Zheng Chi’s heart was slightly relieved, and his face began to blush slightly.

But Zhang Anshi seems to be afraid of being blackmailed by Zheng Zhi, immediately began to make a disclaimer: “But then again, if Zheng Gong you have any good or bad, that is certainly Zheng Gong your own bad health, can not blame me.”

These words again pushed Zheng Zhi into the abyss all of a sudden.

Because he could not predict which of Zhang Anshi’s words was true and which was a prevarication.

Zheng Chi, although timid, but also smart people, but also playing Tai Chi master, because of this, in his ears, Zhang Anshi these words, but as if to say, in fact, this bead is poisonous, you may not live long, but in order to put the blame on, Zhang Anshi bit the bullet and said that this is absolutely not poisonous, if there is any good or bad, that is your Zheng Chi’s business, and he Zhang Anshi a little bit of relationship is also not.

Zheng Chi: “……”

This Zheng Chi has always cherished his life, and when he heard this, how could he care about anything else? He roared, “Zhang Anshi, you have jeopardized my life ……”

Said the man with open teeth and claws.

It’s good that the crowd was speechless but still reacted.

Everyone’s temperament is always eclectic, and people may find it enjoyable to fight in the courtroom, but if someone suddenly wants to rise up and injure someone, it won’t work.

So not far from Zheng Chi’s ministers have stopped Zheng Chi, this said: “Zheng Gong, Zheng Gong, pay attention to the ministerial ritual, this is not yet poisoned?”

“Yes, yes, what is there to count? This matter …… I see everyone is at fault, blame Annan candidate did not say clearly, but also blame Zheng Gong you …… have to open the box privately, I see ah, everyone is at fault, it is the same as everyone is not right, forget it, forget it.”

Zheng Chi only felt a little dizzy, he seemed to feel that his body was dirty and there seemed to be some kind of toxin surging in his body.

So after the excitement, they felt their heads sinking so much that it seemed like they were really poisoned, so they let out, “Ouch, ouch ……” out of their mouths.

The whole person, instantly shriveled as if his body began to shiver, and his legs shivered as if he could no longer bear his own body.

When the people saw him like this, they said that the poison was really powerful.

But Zhang Anshi bellowed, “I think Zheng Gong is sick, we have to open his belly and rescue him quickly.”

The words, Zheng Chi suddenly hit a jolt, like a dream, all of a sudden people again some spirit, set aside the side to help him, obediently stood still, did not say a word.

Zhang Anshi laughed, but then whirled to look at that Chen Jia, smiled and said: “Chen imperial history said that I risked my credit …… this …… right and wrong, have their own say. I Zhang Anshi suffered this injustice, this …… thing always have to have a statement. How about this, I make another bead, let Chen Gong to try, let this bead, teach Chen Gong to bring on the body for a month, Chen Gong, if you can still be no disaster and no disease, will be counted as my Zhang Anshi loss of conscience, how to risk credit?”

Chen Jia’s face was green and white, seeing Zheng Chi like this, where else would he dare to say more? Trying hard to hold his fire, he immediately said, “If it’s not an impostor, it’s not an impostor, why is Marquis Annan being catty?”

After a farce, the monarchs and ministers finally calmed down.

Soon, they realized that this time, they had really solved a heavenly trouble.

The Tartar army fell apart in a moment, relying on a single bead?

Something so unbelievable but real.

This Zhang Anshi is really ……

Regardless of what the ministers are thinking, but Zhu Di’s mood at this time is great, rejoicing: “Live a lot, live a lot ah …… heck, this Tartar Khan wolves and wild hearts, but also today, it is really a universal celebration.”

After a pause, Zhu Di but very seriously scanned the ministers, and then said, “All the ministers to say a word, to say.”

Yang Rong took the lead and stood out, and said in surprise: “Your Majesty, the losses avoided in this case are really not small, Guangning’s military and civilian people were able to survive, and countless people in Liaodong were also able to live, not only that, the most important thing in this case is still the collusion between Uliangha and the Tartar Ministry. Now ghost Li Chi a death, this so-called collusion and fall apart, to my Ming, there is a great benefit.”

Jin Zhong also breathed a long sigh of relief.

He had originally prevented the Emperor from going on a personal expedition this year and delayed it, but he actually had a few feelings of guilt in his heart.

This is tantamount to sacrificing a portion of the military and civilian population of the border towns this year in exchange for a more effective strike by Daming against the Tartar Ministry next year.

Now this problem, however, is solved.

“Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the upper army is to attack the strategy, the second is to attack the traffic, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city. The method of attacking a city is a last resort. What Marquis Annan did this time is really favorable to the people and the countryside, so I thought that it should be considered as a war merit. All the people involved in this matter should be counted for merit and rewarded.”

Zhu Di listened and nodded his head, happily looking at Zhang Anshi, “Secretary Zhang, who are all involved?”

Zhang Anshi thought for a moment and said, “In addition to the minister, there are quite a few people from the Inner Chitou Office who are in charge of prying, and there are also people who accompany Wang Langzhong on his mission, and not only that, but there are also some death row inmates …… who make this poison.”

Zhu Di was very direct: “Come up with a sangha.”

And after that, Zhu didn’t continue to delve into this topic.

To be honest, in his opinion, poisoning was not good after all, although the effect was strong and the battle was fruitful, but it was something that was not suitable to go around yelling.

Therefore, although Zhu Di was overjoyed in his heart, he still tried to suppress his inner joy.

Zhu Di collected a few moments of laughter, then said, “The ministers retire, Zhang Qing stay and talk.”

Zhang Anshi was left alone, apparently wanting to ask for details in private.

And Zhang Anshi waited for the hundred officials to go away, and naturally, patiently, to Zhu Di, he told all this and more.

That so called night pearl, in fact, is a natural uranium ore made, this thing …… is actually much distribution, although rare, but to obtain, for Zhang Anshi, but also easy.

Can be pure uranium ore, in fact, radiation is not strong, after all, the half-life of this uranium ore is too long, uranium ore is really dangerous, in fact, is the uranium ore surrounding, the radon accumulated over the years!

This thing has a short half-life and is very dangerous, but if the material containing radon near the uranium ore is stored immediately, and then made into a glass-like object at a rapid speed, and then sealed up with a lead box, when this lead box is opened, it only takes a few days’ work, and then a large amount of radioactive material can be released.

That’s why, Zhang Anshi had to use death row inmates.

As for that Zheng Chi, in fact, it is also bad luck, because …… Zheng Chi, although it may just open and look at a moment of effort, in fact, the harm suffered is not small.

Of course …… none of this will kill you.

The only way to do that was to be placed in the tent for days when it was true, as was the case with Ghostly Red and the others, and those days would be enough to seriously jeopardize their health.

You know, this is …… the amount of radiation produced by a uranium mine lying deep in the ground for hundreds of millions of years.

Although …… this radiation had dissipated quite a bit during the process of production and transportation, it was enough to cause great damage to the bodies of Ghostly Akira and the others …… in just a few days of exposure.

Only, this stuff …… still won’t be fatal yet.

It just makes people lose their hair and their bodies start to get more and more tired.

If he recuperates properly, he will have no problem living for another ten years.

The ghost Li Chi is conquering the critical period of Liaodong, daily saddle horse fatigue, as the Tatar Khan, and must pull together the tribes of the various ministries, the night and people drinking, so do not die, is absolutely considered a medical miracle.

In so many fresh words, Zhu Di listened to what he seemed to understand.

Zhang Qingjia really did not say wrong, this thing …… said I really do not quite understand.

Since I don’t understand, I won’t listen.

Then, Zhu Di said with a smile, “I know you have a lot of ghost ideas, in this way, in the coming year, sweeping the desert, completely sweeping this disintegrated Tartar Department again, enough to bring a hundred years of peace to the Great Ming, very good!”

Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty, this practice, after all, is detrimental to the peace of heaven; poisoning is, after all, a means for chickens and dogs to steal, and I am very uneasy in my heart when I use this poisonous plan.”

Zhu Di nodded: “Yes, it is indeed difficult for you, who would like to do this kind of meticulous thing? You have worked hard, I will also give you additional rewards at that time.”

Zhang Anshi felt that his conscience, a little bit of comfort, then said: “But then again, if we do not come up with this strategy, the people of Liaodong and the border towns, I do not know how many people will have to die under the butcher’s knife, and then it is the blood flow into a river, a miserable situation. Today to see them saved, I will also heart a little more at ease.”

Zhu Di said: “Ming and Tartar, is a world hatred, the so-called ten worlds, but also can be avenged! This ghost Li Chi, wolf ambition, how to kill him is not too much, the only way to preserve thousands of people, you think so is right! Just …… later or not make an exception, as you said, poisoning is, after all, the means of chicken and dog, if it is not a sudden incident, I would rather rise up and sweep the desert in a dignified manner.”

Zhang Anshi nodded his head, he actually agreed with Zhu.

Although it is costly to start an army and there may be quite a few losses, somehow you defeat your opponent squarely so that they will fear you and submit willingly.

If only because of this, and the fight against the Tartars, but the other side is still not convinced, which should be used to combat the means of the army, or essential.

Rather at this time, Zhu Di violently remembered something, suddenly said, “Yes, there is another matter ……”

He paused, picked up a sangha, said: ”Zheng He has a sangha sent overseas, said they sent a fleet of ships, exploring to the south, perceived that in this southeast of Java, found an island. This island is located in a remote area, looks not small, sparsely populated, the land is mostly barren land. But this island, there are a lot of strange things! One of the things, like a rat, but half a man high, belly, but there is a bag, this Zheng He also learned bad, even take this thing, to report auspicious.”

Zhang Anshi froze, but he couldn’t help but lose his smile.

That place …… Zhang Anshi knows.

But he pretended to be surprised and said, “Is it, this is rare, your majesty …… Chen is ignorant, but would like to see, this has a bag of rats, what is the appearance.”

Zhu Di laughed: “When they are sent back to the capital, I will call you to see. Right, have to call on Zhu Zhanji, this kid, have to give him a long look too.”

Zhu Di said to Zhu Zhanji, that party because of the discussion of the Tartars showed the murderous spirit, at the moment subsided without a trace, mouth also a reproachful look: “These days, I am very busy, I do not know how he has been, he has no thoughts of me?”

Zhang Anshi said, “He often recites His Majesty under his breath, saying that his royal grandfather is the only one in the world who treats him the best.”

Zhu said, “Is that so?”

When these two words were said, although they were said with a questioning tone, Zhu Di’s eyes were already overflowing with laughter.

Zhang Anshi, on the other hand, turned his hand in the direction of the sky and said, “I dare to take my name and honor as a guarantee. ”

Zhu Di immediately lost his smile and said, “He is just a royal grandfather like me, not thinking about me, who else can think about? This grandson is like me, and will become a great man in the future.”

Zhang Anshi thought in his heart, the history …… of Zhu Zhanji is really similar to Zhu Di, basically continuing Zhu Di s state policy.

Of course, this could be the reason why historically Zhu Di went on expeditions and basically took Zhu Zhanji with him to ‘grow his knowledge’.

“By the way, how’s that wine selling?”

Zhu Di’s brain is a quick turn, so quickly thought of selling alcohol on the top.

Zhang Anshi said, “I these days, just started to prepare it, think it won’t take long, can open the sale.”

Zhu Di pretended to be careless and said, “How many bottles of wine have been made?”

“Thirty thousand boxes.” Zhang Anshi said, “This is the first batch.”

Zhu Di froze and subconsciously asked, “How many bottles are 30,000 cases?”

Zhang Anshi said, ”A case of six bottles, well …… roughly 180,000 bottles.”

At these words, Zhu Di’s face changed slightly, “So many, sell them for five taels of silver, can they be sold?”

Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty, it depends on how much silver my Daming …… rich families have, I can t say.”

Zhu Di thought about it and frowned slightly. These wines, although they are quite a lot, but even if they are sold, in fact, they are only a million taels of silver, as if …… they are not much.

For the current Zhu Di, although it is not a small amount of money, but not so much as to be ecstatic about it.

Zhang Anshi saw Zhu Di s mind, but in his heart, he wanted to laugh, this His Majesty …… still does not understand the name here.

Next …… it’s time for your majesty, a real eye opener.

After bidding farewell to Zhu Di and leaving the palace, Zhang Anshi then hoofed it back to Qixia.

He had just landed, but immediately ordered Zhu Jin to be summoned, and then began to give an account.

“From now on, all the stores, start laying out goods comprehensively, and get the signboard of our Palace Imperial Brew out to me.”

Jukin said submissively, “Yes.”

Zhang Anshi added, “Alright, go and call Commander Chen Li to me.”

Zhu Jin nodded and hurried off.

When Chen Li arrived, Zhang Anshi glanced at him.

“How’s the northern township doing these days?”

Chen Li is now mainly responsible for the internal thousand households and prison matters, this North Township Division, really does not have much to do with him.

However, Chen Li still obediently said, “Marquis, there’s nothing going on over there ……”

Zhang Anshi scolded, ”The Brocade Guards’ personal army, how can they be fine? If they have nothing to do, what does the court keep them for? What a bunch of bastards, simply incomprehensible, our South Township Division, responsible for overseeing the North Township Division, you use your Commander’s name, go to reprimand the North Township Division of the various thousand households! Tell them, if they want to eat white rice, with my Zhang Anshi’s breath, they can’t even think about it.”

Chen Li perked up, “Yes, no one wants to eat for free, my humble side immediately had the inner Chitosha set out to all the Chitosha’s to keep an eye on them, to see who’s working in a perfunctory manner.”

Zhang Anshi then satisfied: “This is right, the duty of the Brocade Guards, is to monitor the hundred officials, and the duty of the South Zhenfu Si, is to monitor the North Zhenfu Si, we are in its position, to seek its own politics ah, know?”

Chen Li quickly said yes: “Or Marquis you teach a good lesson, I think about it, these days, everyone is indeed slacking off, it’s time to tidy up a bit.”

Zhang Anshi lightly said, “Then let the South Zhenfu Division, united with the North Zhenfu Division’s various thousand households, give me a good fight. Tomorrow let the military officials above the general flag of the North and South Zhenfu divisions come to me, for a meeting.”

“Here!” Chen Li hurriedly answered.

Afterwards, he walked out with a suspicious face, scratching his head and muttering in a low voice: “This time, but which one of the ungrateful guys …… offended our marquis?”

…………

Next Day ……

The military officials of the North and South Zhenfu Departments poured out and converged on Qixia.

Zhang Anshi directly mobilized, asked in this winter, this up and down the Tee ride should be put out, from the capital, and then to the provinces and state capitals, to crack down on certain unlawful acts, all people, need to go out of their way.

The crowd, of course, said yes.

Anyone who dared not claim it would have been taken out long ago.

Although everyone’s mind still felt puzzled as to how all of a sudden the wind was so tight.

The main thing is that the Brocade Guards are secret agents, secret agents, of course, with the wind into the night, silent, how low-profile can be, how low-profile, but now how to make such a big upheaval?

Someone is going to be finished, someone must have offended our Marquis, this time, how can we stop until we skin him?

But at the same time.

In the Chongwen Hall, a court meeting was also beginning.

These important ministers of the third rank and above apparently did not recognize that a storm was brewing in the Southern Zhenfu Division.

They were called together for a court push.

This time, the court pushed, or the old topic, that is, the matter of Zhang Anshi’s dukedom.

In the beginning, also because of the dukedom, the controversy is very great, many people are full of complaints, some people directly vetoed, there are also some people in the language, with young, need to experience and so on the words to put off.

But today, it is different, and made a great achievement, although it is poisoned, can still be considered a war hero.

Plus this time, Yang Rong, who presided over the court push, seemed to be quite in favor of it, and Hu Guang did not oppose it.

The rest, such as Jin Zhong and Xia Yuan Ji, also expressed their support, and the situation, too, quickly became lopsided.

After the court meeting, a record of the court meeting was quickly sent to Zhu Di, who was located in the cultural building.

Zhu Di did not participate in such a court push, because it was not really interesting for the hundred officials to make a lot of noise.

He has a bad temper and a lot of fire, and sometimes when he hears some strange talk, he can’t help but get angry and just hide.

The record was brought in by Yiluoha himself, “Your Majesty, there are results from the Court Push.”

Zhu looked up at him, “It’s already passed, hasn’t it?”

Yiluoha said with a smiling face, “Your Majesty anticipates things like a god.”

Zhu Di, however, coldly said, “If this time, still prevaricating, it really can’t be said. What did they say?”

Yizhiha said, “Jian Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, has proposed to be the Duke of Shun Guo ……”

“Lord Shungu?”

Zhu Di immediately frowned up, revealing a displeased color: “Zhang Anshi is a duke enthroned with great merit, what is the meaning of this Shun word ……, could it be that it is also an allusion to the emulation of Wei Qing and Huo Zhaodi?”

Zhu Di and these ministers dealt with a long time, the so-called long illness into a doctor, also began to feel the way of these ministers.

Zhu Di said this allusion, in fact, from the Historical Records, Sima Qian made the Historical Records, perhaps because of personal emotional factors, Wei Qing and Huo Zhaodong, included in the “sycophantic fortunes biography”, alongside Deng Tong, Li Yannian, the emperor’s male favorites.

The so-called “sycophant biography”, Sima Qian also has a special explanation, that is: since it is, the internal favor favor favoring ministers at the bottom of the house of the relatives, but not enough to count. Wei Qing, Huo Zhaodi also to the relatives of noble honor, but quite with the material can be self-improvement.

To wit, Wei Qing and Huo Daizi both belonged to the internal favorites, in which Wei Qing and Huo Daizi were still considered to be upwardly mobile.

Zhu Di on the history of this paragraph, especially dissatisfied, now, a group of ministers, actually court launched a Shun Guo Gong, seems to have a deep meaning.

Roughly, Zhang Anshi was regarded as being in the ranks of the fortunate ministers, and thus used Shun as his number.

But apparently, Zhang Anshi’s credit was overshadowed by this word Shun.

Zhu Di tensed up his face, coldly said, “I see, do not have to use Shun, let them renegotiate, under the note to Jian Yi, I know that he reads poetry and books, the most righteousness, I hope that he does not harbor selfish thoughts.”

Yilungha naturally understood Zhu Di’s mind and busily said, “The slave girl also thinks the same way.”

He smiled, then said: “court push, we all know Annan Hou high merit, this duke, is deserved. But after all, Annan candidate is quite controversial in the scholars, so there are people who want to please both ends. On the one hand, to satisfy some of the scholarly world’s yin and yang remarks. On the other hand, and ……”

Before Yiluoha could finish his words, Zhu Di interrupted with a sneer, “Is it that group of scholars in the Shihlin that give them their salaries? Hmph, if they dare to be shady again, then let them go and become officials for the scholarly community.”

Yizhuoha hastened to say yes.

Looked at Zhu Di holding his breath face, turned to say, “By the way, your majesty, this day …… Qixia side, called a lot of Jin Yiwei military officials to go to the meeting, not only that, even the palace this side of the East Factory, also invited some people to go.”

Zhu Di finally distracted his attention, raised his eyes and said, “What was discussed?”

“I don’t know yet …… None of them are back yet.”

Zhu Di nodded: “East factory and the North and South Zhenfu Si, are my backbone, must work together.”

“Yes, slave girl remembered.”

…………

At the other end, Zhang Anshi, who was in Qixia, finished the meeting with satisfaction, and then happily crossed his legs and sipped his tea.

Zhu Yong several but at this time came in a hurry.

Zhu Yong said, “Big brother, I heard that you are going to make trouble on your side, why don’t you call us?”

Zhang Anshi only said lightly, “You don’t need a bull’s knife to kill a chicken.”

Once these words came out, Zhu Yong’s trio, immediately balanced their minds.

Zhu Yong cheerfully said, “I thought something had happened. Big brother, have you heard? Today’s court push is for your matter.”

Zhang Anshi said, “I naturally know that, it’s just that the more the time comes, the worse it is for me to go and ask more questions.”

Zhu Yong then admiringly looked at Zhang Anshi said, “Or big brother sit still, if it is me, I am afraid …… has long been anxious with the hot pot of ants. You do not know, when the court on merit, my father is about to be added to the State Duke of the time, he was so excited that he could not sleep all night, for fear that there is which is not long-eyed, bad for his good.”

Zhang Anshi was happy, “Why is your father like a two-bit fool.”

Zhu Yong, however, suddenly revealed a few depressing colors and lamented, “That’s all, let’s not mention him, I’m angry when I mention this loser.”

“But ……” Zhang said from the sidelines, “as a matter of fact, at this time, there should be a message, how come there is still no holy decree to come?”

Zhang Anshi Shi Shi Shi Shi bet a mouthful of tea and said, “Don’t all of you be in a hurry, I’m not even in a hurry, what’s the point of panicking?”
