Chapter 401: Seal the King

As soon as the word gossip was mentioned, Zhu was furious.

Partially in front of Empress Xu, Zhu Di tried his best to finally hold back the anger that filled his heart.

So he added, “This seems to be an imperative; the name is not right.”

Empress Xu nodded and said, “How can this matter be done according to Your Majesty?”

Empress Xu has understood Zhu Di’s meaning, but she thought she also understands that this is not a small thing, the key point of the problem is that things have to be done, but also to be done beautifully.

Ancient people are the most talk about the four words of the name, but wherever there is the slightest bit of teaching criticism, it is inevitable that people will be born to criticize.

Zhu Di smiled slightly and said, “This is good, as long as there are two people, this thing will be a success, and this two people …… I see the fire has also arrived.”

The look of his wise ass.

When Empress Xu heard this, she did not pursue the matter any further.

Don’t look at Zhu Di sometimes reckless, but in many places, the heart is very meticulous, he felt that there is a safe way, then this thing will be able to become.

Not a moment, but see Zhu Di and a worried look, said quietly: “I am now worried about, but is the problem of the Taiping Province, heard that it is a hundred industry depression, hey ……”

Empress Xu said, “These years, the internal money is full, and this Taipingfu, indeed, is not unrelated, and now there is a mistake, your majesty really should keep an eye on it.”

Zhu Di gazed at Empress Xu, “Why, what do you have to say?”

Empress Xu smiled gently, ”I am a woman, I don t have any high opinions, what can I say? Only …… Your Majesty, it is often said that flies do not bite seamless eggs. Right now those people actually dry regicide, visible these people, has been heartless! Because of this, they are anxious to jump over the wall, but I do not know what they will do. In my woman’s opinion, now that this Taipingfu is out of order, it’s even harder to guarantee that there are no people secretly making trips.”

Zhu Di listened, took a deep breath, and nodded again, “I also expected this, these people …… heh ……”

Zhu Di revealed a disdainful look and coldly said, “If we can’t wipe out all these people, there will never be any peace in my Ming.”

Empress Xu smiled sweetly and said, “Your Majesty, in the past, when the Jingdan was in trouble, even the hardest thing, didn’t it also come over like this? If you think about it in a good way, at least …… what your majesty and Zhang Qing want to do, has become most of it, if not, how would these people doggedly jump over the wall to such a point?”

Zhu Di said: “This is not wrong, if not really stung them, but also may not have the courage to do so, think about it, after all, or the new government is fruitful.”

Empress Xu said: “My concubine all these years, although long lived in the palace, but know, the human heart is the most difficult for, in order to fly a small profit, or even just a title, eunuchs to fight, the concubines in the harem also want to fight, as your majesty said just now, the emperor in order to stop the sons of the high emperor in order to eliminate all the sons of the competition for the position, even had to go to the alienation of the sons of the emperor, but also know that, once you don’t do so, the break of the people’s thoughts, will be sibling rivalry, throughout the dynasties, fathers and sons to fight, brothers to fight, ministers to fight, which time is not you dead or alive. Sibling rivalry, through the ages, fathers and sons, brothers and ministers, which time is not a matter of death and life and death? How many times have there been such things? Your Majesty should not be concerned about this, let alone be indignant.”

Zhu Di said hatefully, “I treat them generously, they dare to do so, how can I not hate them?”

Empress Xu shook her head and smiled, “Because hatred cannot be born, and when people have hatred, they cannot help but be blinded by resentment and make irrational judgments.”

“And His Majesty is to become a great man of great deeds, at any time, than the world more calm, at any time, also need to make better choices, the Nine and a half, holding the power of the world, is the attention of thousands of people, everyone is both fear, but also not inevitably there will be ambitious people coveting this big position, if even His Majesty, are blinded by resentment, then how can achieve great things? ”

Zhu Di listened, the look of a stunned, then dumbfounded, said: “You are right, I should not be angry at every turn, at any time should not be easy to anger and impulsive, if not, but to spoil the big things.”

Originally in a bad mood Zhu Di, by Empress Xu so much comfort, will also be comfortable to open.

At that moment, he leisurely said, “Go and summon Yilungha, I have something to command.”

………………

A secret decree was quickly sent to the Jiangxi Prefecture.

Liu Guan, the Minister of Rites, has been killing mad here.

Even Chen Daowen, the thousandth member of the Jinyiwei who accompanied him on the case, felt that this guy was a bit incomprehensible.

This is not investigating a Chin case, this is killing people.

All the people involved in the railroad, all copied home, take the account book, one by one than the right, first under the driving sticker, people called, then they will be interrogated overnight, the next day there are jinyiwei began to copy the home.

So much so that the large prison in this Nanchang Province is simply not enough, so, all the government offices, turned into a large prison.

Anyway, this Nanchang Prefecture’s government office, the vast majority of the officials, have also been cleaned out, just to make room.

Liu Guan is extremely dissatisfied with the brocade guards, he always felt that the brocade guards are too polite, Liu Department Tang is a person who does not share the same day with the sin, he can not stand the brocade guards this kind of under the driving sticker, interrogation and then copy the style of the family.

So he was dissatisfied with Chen Wendao said: “Too slow, this goes on, when can we clean up the evil spirits here? Chen Chitou, you are the jinyiwei do things too old-fashioned, directly in accordance with that Wu’s hand searched out the book of the whole number to take people is. What’s the point of being polite? Now the prison industry is also overcrowded, in such a way, where there is still room to place so many prisoners? In my humble opinion, it’s better to cut the Gordian knot.”

Chen Daowen looked at Liu Guan with a complicated expression, but still said, “The Brocade Guards have their own rules.”

Liu Guan will be two eyes slightly a face of cynicism and hatred, said: “These traitors, everyone has to be put to death, not to give them a little bit of power to see a look, they still think the court is weak! You do not know what they are greedy to what place, not to mention they are rampant to what point, you know do not know, they are rampant when the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites may not be in the eyes, as long as the money!”

Chen Daowen said, “Lord Liu rest his anger.”

Liu Guan sighed and said, “Young people nowadays, ah, did not have the heart of the beginning, think of the past, when Emperor Taizu Gao was there, which still cared about these.”

Chen Daowen was speechless for a moment.

“Lord Liu.”

Just then, the clerks of the line came with quick, hurried steps.

When Liu Guan saw this, he couldn’t help but wonder, so he said, “What is it?”

The clerk said, “There is a decree from the palace.”

Liu Guan was first stunned, then he felt that his whole body was numb, he was now most afraid of any decree from the palace!

Why?

He’s worried about His Majesty settling scores!

I only saw the clerk say again, “It’s a secret decree.”

Liu Guan was busy saying, “Don’t quickly invite the angel in.”

“It has been arranged in the bookstore.” The clerk said, “It’s better to speak of this matter and avoid it a little.”

Liu Guan did not dare to be slow, and hastily raised his steps and hurried to the bookstore.

Immediately, the eunuch waiting here gave Liu Guan a copy of the decree, and when that eunuch excused himself, Liu Guan carefully picked the lamp, took the decree, and read it carefully and silently.

And then, Liu Guan’s eyebrows frowned, mouth can not help but muttered: “In the Jiangxi time, I did not get a penny of their benefits, but instead almost pulled by them to cushion the back. When I arrived at the palace, I didn’t give my old man half a penny’s worth of benefits either, and now I’m being taught to use my old man as a shield?”

He sighed for a while, quite speechless.

…………

Zhang Anshi was punished for one day, and quickly resurrected with full blood, but at this time, Yang Pu came to the East Palace for an audience.

Yang Pu is obviously specifically for Zhang Anshi to come, of course, he is also the Zhanzhi Office of the subordinate officials, can also borrow the name of the audience with the Prince in and out.

Zhu Zhanji sits high, Zhang Anshi accompanied by one side, Yang Pu brought, but a book.

The book is full of forms.

What was recorded was the situation in the Taiping Mansion.

Yang Pu’s expression was grave as he looked at Zhang Anshi without uttering a word.

Zhang Anshi, on the other hand, looked down at the various figures with a slightly unhappy face.

“The situation is actually worse than expected.”

“Prefectural data may have discrepancies, there will be inaccuracies, but the number of railroad division this side, is real, every month the geometry of the goods carried, a clear picture. But now the situation, it is very worrying, not only so, from the former and the railroad division of long-term cooperation of a number of business houses, now also downturn. I have personally visited a few, not optimistic.”

Zhang Anshi said, “There’s no hurry, we can just recover.”

“But my humble servant has a little worry.” Yang Pu looked at Zhang Anshi, his face was a clear color of worry, and at this time, he murmured.

Zhang Anshi said, “There are no outsiders here, so there’s no harm in you saying anything.”

Yang Pu thought for a moment, then said: ”My humble opinion, right now the depression of all industries is a big trend. But behind this big trend, it is more like someone is deliberately causing trouble. Now within the Taiping government, there are many people fanning the flames and making a lot of noise, and now the people are in turmoil, plus some people are deliberately doing this, then it will be even more worse.”

Zhang Anshi’s expression also became a bit more serious and said, “What kind of people are they?”

“The majority of readers, but only some readers, or just the appearance ……”

Zhang Anshi smiled coldly and then said, “They are now desperate for a dog to jump over the wall, but they are thinking that they can’t escape anyway, so they’ll just do a jade and stone.”

Yang Pu nodded and said, “Governor here, I’m afraid I have to make plans early.”

Zhang Anshi slightly lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said, “Don’t worry about this, I know in my heart, play with me Zhang Anshi, don’t see if they have any weight.”

After a pause, Zhang Anshi added, “I will make a trip to Qixia now.”

A few hours later, Zhang Anshi appeared in Qixia, Chen Li, Gao Xiang, Zhu Jinren, etc., have long been looking forward to see, they came to see Zhang Anshi one by one, and told each and every one of them about the situation in this Taiping Province.

The situation is, indeed, somewhat unpromising.

On the one hand, it was the first time they had encountered a crisis, so everyone was a bit at a loss, and on the other hand, it was the vague feeling of some wrong beginnings that worried them.

After listening to Zhang Anshi roughly, his eyes turned to a person and said, “Zhu Jin ……”

“In.”

Zhang Anshi sank his eyebrows and said, “From now on, all money changers, all of them, suspend their business for a few days for me, just say rectify.”

Zhu Jin was shocked and hurriedly said, “Dudu. Now the money bank here …… has …… been in a bad situation. If it is like this again, I am afraid …… it must make a big mess out of the sky.”

Zhang Anshi, however, appeared to be calm and relaxed, saying, “Just do it as it is, and enter heck, don’t they want to mess up? Then teach them to know the power.”

Zhu Jin only felt that Zhang Anshi was a bit crazy, this was not solving the problem, it was simply adding fuel to the fire.

Zhang Anshi then looked at Chen Li, “Remove all the lieutenants from the streets, don’t take people everywhere.”

Chen Li just gave Zhang Anshi a strange look, but without hesitation, he said, “As you command.”

Zhang Anshi then looked at Gao Xiang, “Prefect Gao.”

“In.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Inform the prefectures and counties, teach the upper and lower levels to follow the steps and do their own work. Don’t worry about anything else.”

Gao Xiang pondered for a moment, “Dudu, really don’t care?”

“Whatever!” Zhang Anshi said decisively, “What are you afraid of, the sky won’t collapse, I, Zhang Anshi, am back, the Model Battalion and the Brocade Guards are on standby, so what can I do? But those people ……”

When the words were said, Zhang Anshi’s casualness disappeared all of a sudden, and a fire permeated his face.

Having been lectured by his sister, he was worried that he had nowhere to vent his anger!

So he said, “Let them be buried for what comes next, with them!”

After that, Zhang Anshi raised his hand, whisked his sleeve and said, “Act according to the order, the situation of the various merchants, the streets and alleys, the prefectures and counties, still have to report to me at any time.”

“Yes.”

One by one, they left to do their work, and the duty room was finally cleared.

Zhang Anshi, on the contrary, calm and relaxed up, the current situation, seems to be some confusion, if you want to slowly comb, or on some people to rectify, it looks like, need to spend some effort, coupled with the current depression of the industry, will inevitably lead to the government to throw a mouse, but Zhang Anshi obviously do not have the heart to slowly comb, he wants to be fast and clear, to see the blood!

…………

Qixia here, has been a panic, the bulk of the goods, has continued to plummet, many merchants, hoarding goods have been stalled.

The streets, too, are beginning to look chaotic, and a kind of pamphlet is now in vogue in the streets, in which there is much gossip.

And here, there are already people on fire from here, arriving in the capital.

Somewhere in the capital.

A cadre of people sat in silence, heads hung low, faces ashen.

The court has closed the capital and formed a situation of catching a turtle in a jar, and that Jiang Chen was killed alive by His Majesty in front of the ministers, which is even more chilling.

That horrifying scene was like a dark cloud that enveloped everyone’s heart.

Finally, someone said with difficulty, “Sooner or later …… sooner or later …… the brocade guards follow the vine ……”

“His Majesty has gone mad, what can they not do now?”

“We will be affected, hey, when they do this kind of thing in Jiangxi, the old man will say never for, the risk is too great, but that Wu ……”

“What’s the use of talking about this now?”

Someone stood out and said angrily, “A great man’s death knuckles, what’s the point of laying down one’s body to die? Since we are pushed to this point, then it’s just as well, a fish dying in a net.”

“I don’t know what other insights there are.”

“Make a scene, make a scene.” This furious man said, “The New Deal has been going on for so many years, making a lot of noise and wailing, but what have we gotten in return? Now the Taiping Province, not also full of grievances? In my opinion, then teach this Taipingfu to make more fierce, the sky turned upside down is good, just to teach the world to see, this new policy is what look like.”

“Haunting, on what grounds? By me and others?”

“We are such people, since the teaching of the people of the army and the people to make a fuss, that Qin died, not Chen Sheng Wu Guang and other pikers? Han’s death, is not also the first Yellow Turban thieves? Teach the ignorant people to make a fuss first, and so on almost, that is, we come out to clean up the mountains and rivers of the time.”

The crowd was silent.

Someone said, “But where are thieves like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang?”

This man said, “Don’t worry, the indoctrination is already underway.”

At this time, the crowd, more like a group of people who are about to drown, they know that if they continue like this, sooner or later they will be investigated to their head, and end up in a death without a burial place.

But nowadays, whenever there is an idea, they also regard it as a life-saving straw and clutch it in their hands.

Knowing that the possibility of these words …… being realized is minimal, but there is a saying that is good, offense is the best defense, instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to be sober, attacking the Taiping House, teaching this Taiping House to turn upside down, or at least teaching His Majesty and Zhang Anshi to be anxious, caring for the head but not the buttocks, and buying more time for them.

Just then, someone suddenly came in a hurry.

“There is news from the palace.”

The people only thought that the great difficulty, and I do not know what Zhu Di found out, at the same time, a color change, face green.

Instead, this man said, “Zhu Chun, King of Shu, and Liu Guan, Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, have petitioned to enthrone Zhang Anshi as king.”

At these words, there was another silence in the hall.

The king of Shu is the representative of the clan, he is after the high emperor Taizu, and in the capital, to a certain extent, what is represented is the meaning of the clan.

As for the Ministry of Rites Secretary Liu Guan, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites authority is not as bad as the Ministry, the Ministry of households, the Ministry of War, but the most noble, after all, it is in charge of the rites of passage.

The sealing of the king could be considered extremely unexpected for the people here.

However, when I learned that it was these two people who had submitted the report, I felt that it was reasonable.

Under the sky, it is really impossible to do justice to the name without these two people’s appeal.

Finally, someone couldn t help but sneer, “It is really willing to give up, just …… isn t this against the ancestral system?”

“Now that people have made the world, of course what he says about ancestry, what is ancestry, anyway, this ancestry is owned by others.”

Someone mused and said under his breath, “What are the movements of Wen Yuan Ge and the ministries?”

“Can have what movement?” Someone shook his head and said, “These two people have submitted a report, as long as the palace pushes the boat with the water, then this matter is considered to be finalized, that is, I do not know, this king with a different surname, and which dynasty’s courtesy should be followed.”

You know, in all dynasties, the treatment of the king was completely different, Daming has never had a king with a different surname, God knows if it is in accordance with the clan’s feudalism or if it follows the classical approach.

The crowd couldn’t help but sigh again.

This news is also very fast, it reached Zhang Anshi’s desk, Zhang Anshi will Jin Yiwei’s report read twice, and then revealed a strange expression.

He looked a little odd in his demeanor, but no one knew that he couldn’t help but mutter in his heart at that moment, “Ah Sister God.”

………………

It’s the New Year, I wish you all good health, all the best, and bring in your monthly votes!
