Chapter 347 – Ruthless People Have Culture
A sealed report was sent to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di was busy ordering Zhang Anshi to be summoned for an audience.
When Zhang Anshi met Zhu Di, he grinned and said, “What is your …… Majesty s command?”
Zhu Di glanced at him and said, “I heard that there are many readers causing trouble?”
“Yes.” Zhang Anshi put away his smiling face and put on a sad and angry face and said, “The disturbance was fierce, and it even killed someone, and even drove them crazy.”
Zhu said, “Driving mad ……”
Zhang Anshi himself was numb, and for a moment he didn’t know how to answer.
Zhu Di saw him with a difficult face, but instead pursued the root of the problem: “How to drive crazy, how crazy?”
“It’s that Li Shimian ……” Zhang Anshi said with a bitter smile, “He …… he… …”
“What happened to him?”
Zhang Anshi was difficult to say, “He didn’t know what the reason was, but he was running naked in the street …… eating feces ……”
Zhu Di was originally listening to that Li Shimian ‘crazy’, but showed a few laughs.
But the smile was short-lived, and in the blink of an eye, Zhu’s face pulled down.
Zhang Anshi buried his head, it was surprisingly awkward in this hall.
Zhu carried his hands behind his back, raised his head, and was silent for a long time before he said, “Is it true madness?”
Zhang Anshi said helplessly, “This is unknown.”
Zhu Di sighed and said, “I expect he must be pretending to be crazy!”
Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty …… how can this be seen?”
The words from this head had just fallen, when a murderous gaze suddenly landed on Zhang Anshi’s body.
Zhang Anshi man froze and immediately said, “Yes, yes, yes, it must be pretending to be crazy, Your Majesty …… This person must not be retained.”
“Just.” Zhu Di whisked his sleeve and said, “This matter, how do you plan to end it?”
“Got to let them mess up for a while.” Zhang Anshi said, “Now many readers and also the gentry, anger has nowhere to vent, rather than let them fight against the new government, it is better to …… let them mess up themselves.”
“How messed up?”
Zhang Anshi laughed and said, “Fish eyes are mixed up.”
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi in surprise.
Zhang Anshi smiled and continued, “This is just the beginning, I have also prepared a combination package, Your Majesty, please see ……”
Said, Zhang Anshi directly from the sleeve took out a long list out, said: “Here …… I order the Jinyiwei to draw up a roster, according to this roster of the readers, and the gentry …… on the head …… throw out the message.”
“Hmm?” Zhu took the roster, squinted his eyes, and looked at it carefully.
On the top of the densely packed, actually all the names of various people, which involves a minister, there are great scholars, there are the gentry.
Zhu Di asked as he looked at it, “What news is this …… throwing out?”
Zhang Anshi then said, “For example, that imperial historian Liu De, I say that he colluded with me and secretly revealed to me the movements of the Duzha Academy.”
Zhu subconsciously said, “Did he reveal it?”
Zhang Anshi said, “No.”
Zhu said, “Then why do you say he revealed it?”
“This man can speak well ……”
“Wouldn’t it …… rather clarify one’s innocence to be able to speak well?”
“The problem is here, he can speak well, can convince people is limited, is to be true, false, false, false, true, between this readers, there must be someone to believe him, there are people who think he is coquettish, in fact, and jinyiwei closely related, and thus …… will make a bigger controversy. To put it bluntly, the truth of the matter is actually not important, the important thing is that …… everyone has their own desired truth, it will produce controversy, there will be nasty ……”
Zhu raised an eyebrow and said, “Just by this?”
Zhang Anshi said, “Of course not just rely on this, but will be a hotspot thrown out, so that the readers should be overwhelmed, today found that someone colluded with His Highness the King of Shu, tomorrow found that someone …… with the support of the New Deal …… let this discussion, never stop.”
Zhu Di looked at him thoughtfully and said, “But if it’s finally clarified and someone knows the truth, will they still fall for it?”
Zhang Anshi laughed, “Why wouldn’t I? People don’t learn lessons! Moreover, even if someone remembers the lesson, but someone doesn’t, so in that case, won’t this person who remembers the lesson and the one who doesn’t, again make a scene and attack each other? Therefore, instead of letting them attack the New Deal together, it would be better to let them kill each other and blame each other.”
Zhu Di could not help but lose his smile, “Good end of the brocade guards, how all day long to do this incitement of the hook.”
Zhang Anshi smiled bitterly and said, “Your Majesty, in fact, …… I just let them practice.”
Zhu revealed a puzzled look, “Practice?”
Zhang Anshi said, “I am in the guards, set up a special thousand households …… This special thousand households duties are different from the ordinary jinyiwei.”
Zhu Di said with interest, “Special Thousand Households, what does it do?”
“This, this …… is what’s doing this right now.”
Zhu Di’s eyes went straight: “What’s the use of this thing? To spread rumors all day long? ”
Zhang Anshi, however, with a very certain tone, said: “Your Majesty, this thing, can be of great use, if used well, a thousand households, can be worth three model battalions. ”
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi’s agitated appearance, he didn’t continue to say anything, he only waved his hand and said, “By all means.”
“There’s one more thing ……” said Zhang Anshi, “This thousand householders ……”
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi with suspicion, and when he saw Zhang Anshi stuttering for a moment, he couldn’t help but say, “Who is it?”
Under Zhu Di’s gaze, Zhang Anshi finally said, “It’s His Highness, King Yi!”
“Is it that asshole Zhu?” Speaking of Zhu, Zhu had a headache look on his face.
This guy …… is not half like the descendant of Taizu Gao Emperor, how to look …… like a weasel, it is really the shame of the clan.
Originally let him into the official school academy, Zhu Di is counting on, this guy can at least like a square man.
But the man was stronger, only his temperament had not changed much.
Zhu Di looked unconvinced and sighed, “He can also be a Thousand Households?”
Zhang Anshi suddenly felt a little aggrieved for Zhu, and immediately said, “His Highness the Yi King, after coming out of the official school academy, entered the Brocade Guards, and since then …… has served as a lieutenant, a small flag, and a general flag, and this time, the Special Thousand Households was established because of the urgent need for manpower, and because of His Highness the Yi King’s expertise, so the minister deliberated three times and before letting him take up this post ……”
Zhu Di, however, said: “You guys just spoil him, see how long he can be capricious! This kid …… his mother’s, I obviously personally will raise him in the palace, not to say that he has the bloodline of Emperor Taizu high emperor, even if he is in my side of the ear, but not half like me, all day long and women hang out together, really …… ”
Said Zhu, shaking his head.
Zhu had to admit that his education had failed.
The bias was in his throat, and he couldn’t say that the guy was not educated like he was.
After all, …… Yi Wang is considered to be raised by Empress Xu, is this not tantamount to scolding Empress Xu?
Just let such a guy …… hang around like this, and it is hard to avoid being reluctant, and it is very tempting to teach a good lesson, but this guy is also stubborn.
This head of mind, Zhu Di then raised his head, meaningfully looked at Zhang Anshi, in his understanding, this Zhang Anshi set up the so-called special thousand households, but it is just to place a little Yi Wang Zhu, so as to appear to be a little bit of use for Yi Wang.
But in reality, what can be achieved by fanning the flames and creating rumors?
Think about the great ancestor of Emperor Gao, a man of cloth, fought today’s kingdom, among the sons, rigid such as Xiang Wang, courageous such as himself and Ning Wang, even if it is wise such as the king of Shu, this many sons and daughters of the heir, there are really not a few cowards.
Only this youngest son is so out of shape.
“Just as well.” Zhu said with a few moments of frustration.
If there had been no transfer of the clan, Zhu Di actually couldn’t wait for the feudal lords to be wimps.
But today …… is different, Zhu instead need to rely on his own those brave brothers, now ……
He for Yi Wang, also can only comfort himself, “This guy …… let him fool around, you look after him is.”
Zhu Di had moved to let the idea of Yi Wang on the clan, but think about this guy …… is afraid to really go overseas, I am afraid that the corpse is no survival. After thinking about it, or this Jin Yiwei in the relative safety.
Zhang Anshi thought for a moment, but still said, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty, in the future …… His Royal Highness the Yi King is naturally smart and born with special talents, and in the future …… he will definitely make a name for himself… …”
“Alright, don’t say these words to me, next time in front of Empress Xu, go brag about Yi Wang, coax her to be happy, it’s also good.”
Knowing that it would be difficult to convince His Majesty to change his mind about King Yi for a while, Zhang Anshi hemmed and hawed and did not continue.
Right now ……
Suddenly ……
Boom.
This Forbidden City is actually trembling with doors and windows.
The ground crumbled.
Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi suddenly changed color.
Outside, a eunuch sprinted in and called out in panic, “Your Majesty …… Your Majesty …… The ground has collapsed …… The ground has collapsed … …”
Only the movement, too, only quivered and seemed to stop.
Zhu Di taut face said: “good end, how the ground collapse?”
Zhang Anshi immediately said, “According to the celestial and human senses, someone must have done something heavenly and human-angry.”
Chu: “……”
Zhang Anshi said, “I saw …… with my own eyes that the man named Li Shimian, pretending to be crazy and talking nonsense, it must be that he has angered the heavens.”
It was at this time when Zhu was in shock.
Immediately after that, yet another eunuch came, “Your Majesty …… it’s not an earth collapse …… it’s not an earth collapse, it’s an explosion, a violent explosion …… ”
Zhang Anshi was shocked, his heart skipped a beat, and he busily said, “Where …… where did it blow up ……”
“Go to …… Upper Dollar County ……”
Shangyuan County ……
Zhang Anshi was in a relaxed mood, Shangyuan County is under the Yingtian Prefecture and has nothing to do with him.
Zhu, on the other hand, said, “What are the losses?”
The eunuch said with difficulty, “This …… this …… slave girl doesn’t know, the grand eunuch has already sent people to inquire.”
Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Shu has just been appointed as the left governor, but now something has happened in Shangyuan County, I thought …… that this should have nothing to do with the left governor, this must be the Yingtian Prefect, who has not acted on weekdays …… ……”
Zhu whisked his sleeve and said coldly, “Wait for new news to come.”
After a while, another eunuch came to inform, “Your Majesty, all the bachelors and ministers of various ministries have an audience.”
Zhu Di said, “Declare.”
A few moments later, Yang Rong and the others fishtailed in.
Obviously running with this message.
Almost everyone had a worried look on their faces, and with such a huge explosion, everyone’s first reaction was Zhang Anshi’s problem.
So walking into this hall, everyone looked meaningfully at Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi understood the unkind gaze in a second and was anxious: “Your Excellencies …… Your Excellencies …… This is what happened in Shangyuan County …… Shangyuan County ……”
Yang Rong was puzzled, “Shangyuan County also has so much gunpowder?”
Zhang Anshi said, “What about Moshu?”
Zhu Di said, “There is no need to argue now …… The immediate priority is to check how the loss is first.”
The ministers all looked uneasy.
It’s too scary to say it’s going to blow up.
And then a eunuch came and said, “Your Majesty, the princes and lords seek an audience.”
Because the matter involves gunpowder, all the princes and marquises of the Five Armies Governor’s Office have come to see them. ”
Zhu Di looked at the crowd at this point: “The Five Army Commanders, can you store gunpowder in Shangyuan County?”
Qi Guo Gong Qiu Fu said, “No …… not ever ……”
He was distraught, mainly because his son was Chuson.
Over the past few years, he had sort of blown up his psyche, but whenever there was an explosion involved, he felt that, nine times out of ten, his own son was the perpetrator.
Today there was such a big explosion again, and I don’t know how Chuson is doing.
“Your Majesty …… this is indeed too dangerous, I thought ……” Jin Zhong said at this time: “I thought, this nine times out of ten, again is the firearms workshop side out of the problem. The problem of the firearms workshop is at the feet of the Emperor, the danger is too great. Nowadays …… the Ministry of War this side …… as long as there is any wind blowing grass, there are many dependents to the Ministry of War to ask for people ……”
Zhu Di did not understand, “Want people …… want what people?”
Jin Zhong smiled bitterly and said: “Two years ago, there is a group of honored ministers sons and daughters, suddenly disappeared, life is not seen, death is not seen corpse. Although the Duke of Wei’s side, said again and again that this is what military affairs, involved, but the dependents at first still believe, now, but all believe …… that these people …… are afraid that in some accidents, the corpse and bones do not exist, so … . the Duke of Wei only to conceal ……”
Zhu Di seemed to remember something and glanced at Zhang Anshi, “Right, where are Xu Jingchang and the others?”
Zhang Anshi as if awakened suddenly said, “Yes, Xu Jingchang they …… have not gone home yet?”
“……”
There was a deathly silence in this hall.
This time, the civil and military officials went crazy.
The civil ministers are fine, only Jin Zhong is unlucky, every day to find ways to appease these military generals dependents.
But the military ministers were different; in this case, it involved Duke Dingguo Xu Jingchang, Zhang Anshi’s old husband.
Duke of Wei, Xu Huizu, was looking at Zhang Anshi with a shocked look.
In addition, there were Meng Wen, son of Marquis Meng Shan of Baoding, Wang Xiang, son of Marquis Wang Zhong of Jing’an, and Xu Zhengye, son of Xu Xiang of Xing’an Bo.
Zhang Anshi then remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.
He did …… send a group of people, to that one huge workshop.
However, the implementation of the new policy, has been inseparable, Zhang Anshi naturally, will forget about it.
Occasionally, he would think about it, and he couldn’t help but wonder why he hadn’t seen that Xu Jingchang fellow lately.
And now …… seeing everyone looking at him with a weird look, Zhang Anshi immediately said, “Yes, this matter involves military affairs ……”
That Baoding Marquis Meng Shan was anxious: “Less prevarication, you just tell me, is it dead or alive?”
“I think …… I think …… is still alive.”
“Where are they?” Meng Shan’s heart sank to the bottom.
Zhang Anshi said resentfully, “In …… the research institute of the Qixia Military Workshop …… on official business ……”
The crowd is still full of doubts, you look at me and I look at you.
Duke of Wei Xu Huizu said, “It’s been two years, how could there not be a single word? Quickly let these children go home.”
Not to say that others, alone a Dingguo Gong Xu Jingchang, which is Jingwu few few after a few great achievements, not to mention the nephew of Empress Xu and the Duke of Wei, his father …… also died in the Jingwu, which can be said to be the only seedling of the lineage of the Dingguo Gong.
Although these guys, usually in the capital city to fool around, but even a group of losers, it is better than evaporated on earth to be stronger.
Zhang Anshi, filled with a sense of pressure under so many gazes, hurriedly nodded his head and said, “Isn’t this what …… was done in the beginning in order for them …… to be able to clean up their act? I …… I turn back …… turn back just ……”
“There is no need to turn back.” Zhu Di was also a bit anxious, “Release them home immediately.”
Zhang Anshi was about to say yes.
At this time …… also lost ha but hurriedly came and said, “Your Majesty …… Your Majesty …… found out, found out… …is …… is the side of the Qixia Military Workshop Institute ……”
Everyone’s color changed when these words came out.
Suddenly there was a loud roar, “Into his mother, where is my knife ……”
Someone roared.
But it was that Marquis Meng Shan of Baoding.
Zhang Anshi’s brain suddenly buzzed.
Duke Wei’s quick eyes and hands, a moment to hold Marquis Baoding Meng Shan: “Don’t be anxious, don’t be anxious …… is not still dead ……”
Qiu Fu long finally relieved at ease, his body a little floating. At last …… there is no old man s business.
So he went to help as well, urging, “Forget it, forget it, life and death have their destiny ……”
The temple was a mess for a moment.
Zhu Di was dumbfounded, no longer care about the chaos in this hall, his first reaction was, how to explain this to Empress Xu?
Zhang Anshi was also a little confused for a moment, panicked and said, “No …… didn’t you say …… that it was blown up over in Shangyuan County?”
“It was Shangyuan County …… that blew up, but …… but ……” the eunuch said: “But it was the people from the Institute …… who purposely ran to Shangyuan County to blow it up.”
Zhang Anshi: “……”
With such a violent explosion, nine times out of ten …… there should already be people vaporized.
Zhang Anshi only dulled, “I …… I didn’t let them do this, I only taught …… them to be peaceful …… ”
Zhu tensed his face and finally exclaimed, “That’s enough, go take a look and see what’s going on ……”
After a roar, finally …… the chaos stopped.
…………
Western suburb of Shangyuan County.
The group was in shock.
Everyone climbed out of the layers of floating soil.
In the distance …… the flames are burning in the sky.
A youth, wiped his face mountain of mud stars, blinked his eyes, can’t take care of a mess, with a few points of celebration staggered: “Fortunately, fortunately …… fortunately I’m smart, rushed to Shangyuan County experiments, if not … …”
“Brother Xu, Brother Xu ……” A small man ran over madly, shedding tears, “Failed again, it seems …… that our this cylinder simply can not withstand …… it.”
“It’s all your …… fault for having to add so much kerosene to it, and who was it that said to stuff it with gunpowder? Bunch of crazy people!” The man slapped the floating soil on his body and cursed for a while, while then abruptly said, “How is it? Is it alright, are they all alright?”
“I’m going to take a look …… Not good …… There’s a lot of people rushing this way ……”
Instead, they saw a group of peasant-like people, holding flat stretches, hoes and other things, rushing aggressively toward this side.
“We shook down quite a few of their thatched huts and came to settle the score with us, run, run!”
Someone slipped out of sight with a swift, whooshing motion.
The rest of the people …… one by one can no longer care about lying on the ground to pretend to be dead, and even one by one rolled over and got up, ran fast.
There are also people who do not forget to say, “Everyone should protect the scene, later to survey …… to record the experimental data ah …… I go first.”
Only left …… a group of craftsmen, stood dumbfounded, they reacted slower, mainly did not have this kind of self consciousness of subconsciously running away as soon as they heard the movement.
Thus …… at this time, they looked at each other, and by the time they reacted, they were surrounded by the farmers who ran in the distance.
Someone grabbed them and cursed angrily, “See the officials, go see the officials …….”
A smith stuttered, “I …… I …… This has nothing to do with us, it’s them …… It’s them who did it. …… They said …… Shangyuan County …… did this best …… something happened, escaped back …… fleeing back, Shangyuan County police officers have to cross the border to chase and arrest …… procedures are also cumbersome …… oops …… and I have nothing to do with it. I was against it at first …… Ouch, how do you hit people ……”
At that moment, a group of youths and teenagers, however, had long since run away without a trace.
Moments later, the group ducked into the military workshop.
Within these high walls, at once …… they found a sense of security.
So …… and can not help but be complacent one by one, one of them said, “Big brother is really powerful, our Qixia thirteen guards …… each foot kung fu are excellent.”
This is called is the big brother, is even more proud, forked hand, slightly angled head said: “When we were the craft is finally not forgotten, fortunately I reacted quickly.”
Instead, someone worriedly said, “What about Artisan Liu and the others?”
“Not afraid.” This big brother continued to fork his hand and said, “Can t die, by the time …… my sister in law goes out, I guarantee that I can ask them back.”
“Do they get beat up?”
The older brother shook his head, “I don’t think …… well …… it should ……”
“Hey ……” This big brother then beat his chest and said: “It seems …… that this method, not right. Clearly our method is right, but why can’t it be?”
“Maybe it’s the material?”
“Could it be a combustion problem ……”
“I think …… is structural.”
The crowd chimed in with their thoughts.
This big brother held his chin, a face of contemplation, half a ring and then said, “It s a pity …… It s too bad …… Hey …… think about it again, but it s a pity that Liu craftsman They are not …… otherwise …… can also discuss with them again. Let’s turn back, and look at my brother-in-law’s notes, perhaps missing something.”
The crowd then began to droop their heads again with a look of regret.
And just at this time …… there is already a team of people, voluminous and straight to Shangyuan County.
Inside Shangyuan County, however, it was already a mess.

Will update before one o’clock.
