Zhang Anshi finished his speech.

Chen Li and the others were invigorated.

To be honest, these days, they were holding back for too long.

Especially the Brocade Guards, who were at best only responsible for staking out and gathering a lot of information these days, had long since sharpened their knives.

Zhang Anshi then remembered something, so he added: “Send someone to inform Zhu Jin, and teach his side to get ready as well. On top of that, there’s also the Taiping Province side ……”

Zhang Anshi paused and then said, “This time, make sure to do it all!”

“As you wish.”

Chen Li bowed to Zhang Anshi and retired in a huff to go about his business.

Zhang Anshi sat down idly, but he remembered something, so he said to the clerk at the side: “Go and invite Mr. Yang Pu Yang to come.”

Soon, Yang Pu came.

Zhang Anshi held back the crowd.

It was Yang Pu who smiled and said, “Your Highness there seems to be a murderous aura here.”

Zhang Anshi glanced at him and sighed, “I don’t like to shout and kill, because I think there are many ways to solve the problem, but when it really comes to the time when all the ways are collectively ineffective, then …… one has to kill people as well.”

Yang Pu was silent for a moment, and he sighed with it before saying, “Ai, all the strife in the world stems from human desires, and the extinction of human desires as stated by Cheng Fu Zi and Sage Zhu may not be without merit.”

Zhang Anshi shook his head and said: “Any learning has its own reasoning, the hundred schools of thought so, science so, but it can not become a person used to profit, while consolidating their own interests of the shield, the world’s benefit is only so much, why someone exclusive to go, but also the use of the so-called learning to show their own, where in the world there is meat for you to eat, the beautiful concubines you also have a good future also taught you to take, but also even the chastity of the house of cards also want you to set up, where in the world there is such a reason”. The good future also taught you to take away, but also want to even chastity house of cards also want you to set up it, where in the world there is such a reason?”

Yang Pu listened and sighed, “What Your Highness said is not without reason.”

Zhang Anshi also said: “This is not the question of whether there is no reason, in fact, these people’s so-called reason, can be said to be full of flaws, what the reason of heaven and human desire, what materialism, these empty words, you listen to the coarse reasonable, detailed deeper, but also found that the errors and omissions frequently. But I came to ask Mr. Yang, science than other studies, is it really more profound, more moving? So much so that since the Song Dynasty, more and more popular, through the Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, and my Ming Dynasty, the influence can be so far-reaching?”

Yang Pu pondered, he is extremely intelligent people, not to mention that he is also a reader origin, a smart reader, in the process of reading is indeed a lot of questions, just these questions, he can only be buried in the heart.

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “In my opinion, ah, the fundamental reason is not that it is more erudite, but that it happens to be this science that has won their hearts.”

“This is just like the study of rams, which is the study of the sages, isn’t it? Wasn’t it also born from Sage Kong? But the ram school to great revenge, to great unification, to the time of the Song Dynasty, those readers, only want to feel at ease in a corner of the land, only think of their own acres and thirds of the land, to the time of the Yuan Dynasty, the so-called nine worlds of vengeance, can also be avenged the idea, is even more out of place, because they want to do the Mongols of the submissive people, want to cooperate with the Mongols, the Mongols slaughtered the world, I do not know how many people’s parents, wives and children, they dare to mention the word of revenge? the word revenge?”

“The so-called science is nothing more than a desire to live in peace. In the face of national hatred, they choose to live in peace, and that is why they talk about self-examination, reflecting on themselves all the time, and wanting to be modest gentlemen. In front of the hatred of the family, they also choose to live in peace, only with the cooperation, to obtain their supreme position, they in the Song Dynasty, can be the annual coin, to live in peace for a while. When the Mongols came, they could also choose to cooperate with the Mongols and go together to oppress the people.”

“And now in my Ming Dynasty, how can it be otherwise? The so-called survival of the reason of heaven, extinguish human desire, how ridiculous, they themselves are always wanting to be dissatisfied, have a hundred acres of land, thinking of annexing a thousand acres, do the scholar, thinking of becoming a Hanlin, and even want to enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister, but want the people to obey, if not obedient, the people also have the desire to reprimand them for the unruly people, and, therefore, advocate the indoctrination, but to cut off the so-called unruly people’s desires. ”

“Han and Tang Confucianism, has never had too much confinement for women, the reason is that at that time the pursuit of the scholar is to build a career, they need to go 10,000 miles away from the desert, go to the Western Regions, go to Lingnan, the home must be handed over to the hostesses to take care of, but to the present, what has become of the situation? A group of losers, when there is a national hatred, do not dare to advocate vengeance, all day long study the scriptures and theories, every day only buried head to do the article, to the text for the noble, but also afraid of the women’s exposure, encountered the qidan, jinren, mongolian robbers such as this, for fear of the women in the family were captured to insult, so they advocate what the door does not go out, not to step forward to the door to be entangled in the golden lotus feet.”

Said here, he paused, appeared to be not yet finished, so he continued: “They have a desire for land, but do not go to the desert, the Western Ocean, the Western Region annexation of other people’s land, so then, they are nested in the countryside, bullying the townspeople, in case of disaster, will fall on the rocks, annexation of neighboring land, but also complacent self-proclaimed that they are what the cultivation of reading and reading the family, what the accumulation of goodness and virtue of the family clouds. They also boasted that they were a family of cultivation and study, and a family of good and virtuous deeds.”

“These outside will be like a broken spine of the dog generation, like mud worms in general, behind closed doors, but is a show of force, a little less than they want, the court to be less generous courtesy, they will want to point to the sky and curse the ground, quoting scripture, and put on a very elegant look, pointing fingers.”

At this point, Zhang Anshi intensified his tone and bellowed, “The shamelessness of man is so great.”

Looking at the indignant color on Zhang Anshi’s face, Yang Pu was silent and his face was slightly hot red.

Yang Pu could deeply feel the fluctuations and ups and downs of Zhang Anshi’s emotions and was actually speechless for a moment.

Zhang Anshi said: “However, this is also very good, I Zhang Anshi do not believe in their so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality, I only believe in one thing, if they feel that they are not satisfied, still still want to be dissatisfied, refused to give up the benefits, then come up with the ability to, like a man, from the hands of his majesty and I Zhang Anshi to fight to snatch, instead of relying on the mean and shameless so-called dirty! Plans and means, not that a few so-called seemingly righteous words of the absurd learning, if so, they are so even if the success of the failure, I Zhang people still look up to them!”

Yang Pu listened carefully and finally said, “My humble servant understands what your highness means.”

Zhang Anshi, however, looked at Yang Pu indifferently and said, “Is Bachelor Yang worried and hesitant?”

Yang Pu met Zhang Anshi’s gaze and thought for a moment, “My humble servant is lamenting.”

Zhang Anshi raised an eyebrow and curiously said, “Lamenting who?”

“Pity the man who will die next.”

Zhang Anshi, however, laughed and said, “Perhaps if I, Zhang Anshi, lose, my grave will be filled with weeds by then, and the people of the future generations will be spurned by everyone who hears of my great name.”

Yang Pu looked at him with a serious look and said, “If this is true, then if I am still alive, I will write an offering to Your Highness, praising this world that there was once a person like Your Highness.”

Zhang Anshi laughed out loud, “I’m only afraid that this district of yours will end up being buried in the piles of old paper and covered up by those countless articles of verbal abuse.”

“No matter how much it is covered up, there will be a day when it will see the light of day again.” Yang Pu’s eyes firmly said, “How has the world ever had a learning that remains unchanged for all times, today there will be a person like your highness, after a thousand years, there will be many, many people like your highness, there will be a Zhang Anshi who will make this world to turn the clouds to see the sun.”

Zhang Anshi listened, actually have a kind of feeling a lot of feelings, then skimmed his mouth and said: “Damn, talking, how to digress from the topic! Mr. Yang, I called you to, is the hope that these two days, you help me in this king’s house temporarily town, at any time to deal with the sent reports.”

Yang Pu raised his head, his eyes were calm, only said, “The next official is also a scholar, your highness really believe me?”

Zhang Anshi subconsciously said, “You’re different, you’ve mutated.”

“Mutations ……”

Zhang Anshi, regardless of whether he understood the meaning of the word mutation or not, went on to say, “Mr. Yang, I have never rejected learning, and I still have admiration for those who have learning, it seems that you have not yet understood the meaning of what I said just now.”

Yang Pu smiled and said, “Now I understand, Your Highness will leave this matter to the subordinate official, the subordinate official will definitely not dishonor his mission.”

Zhang Anshi breathed a sigh of relief, so he smiled and said, “Then it s …… please.”

Yang Pu said, “Your Highness, please take care of yourself as well.”

“You put words to the point of cherishing this, it’s as if you’re going to do something dangerous, teaching me to suddenly worry a bit in my heart.” Zhang Anshi smiled, “Don’t worry, I am a person, one good thing is that I never put myself in a dangerous situation, no one knows how to protect myself better than me.”

Yang Pu also smiled along with it, this point he did believe.

Zhang Anshi was obviously a person who did things very efficiently, and since he had arranged this place, he was duty-bound to do so, and with a smile on his face, he shouted out to the outside, “People come.”

In no time, he saw a group of guards walk in.

They brought armor, and with seven hands and feet, they began to put it on for Zhang Anshi.

This set of armor, obviously belonging to the power-enhanced version, was specially made, and it was actually raw and assembled Zhang Anshi like a big can.

It can be said that if Zhang Anshi made a great contribution to the progress of military research in the Ming Dynasty, the greatest contribution lies in the research of armor.

And then, Zhang Anshi led a group of guards out of the hall, dressed in new clothes.

And outside this hall, there were more guards, standing here by their swords.

Zhang Anshi appeared, the crowd followed him, and he directly raised his head.

Yang Pu who was left behind, dumbfounded, looked at Zhang Anshi’s back, sighed, followed by a bitter smile.

As the prince belongs to the officials, Yang Pu belongs to the audience outside of this perspective, although he occasionally involved in some decision-making, can be mixed but not much, at this time he can not help but begin to contemplate, can not help but think, Zhang Anshi this time, in the end, what is the intention of doing?

It looked as if it was very serious, after all, I had never seen Zhang Anshi wearing such armor.

…………

At the other end, a secret message was sent into the palace with great speed.

Yizhuoha pinched this sangha and entered the Wenlou at a quick pace.

Sitting here Zhu Di, only a cursory glance, but expressionless, just faintly said, “I know.”

With that, he casually threw the sangha into the charcoal pot at his feet.

The sonata touched the coals in the upper charcoal pot and immediately curled up in a bright flame, and afterward, ashes flew.

At this time, Zhu Di seems to have a few tiredness, he will body slightly leaning against the back seat, eyes half-open and half-closed, while the mouth said, “The royal grandson has gone to Qixia, right?”

“Went, early in the morning to go, seems to be in what the Merchants Bureau official work. Wuhu County King of His Highness is not small gallantly ……” also lost ha carefully observed Zhu Di’s face, and then said: “actually let His Highness, do a small clerical, His Highness is not happy.”

Zhu remained calm and said, “Let them be.”

After a pause, he glanced up at Yiluoha and suddenly lamented, “You’re getting old too.”

Also lost his ha, “The slave girl’s body is fine.”

Zhu Di said: “After the person is old, this body collapsed, but also is only overnight, do not think that the body is still as young as the hard, you look at yourself, your head of white hair, more than I have more it.”

Also lost ha but gradually red eyes, the whole person also looks sad up, quietly said: “slave girl also did not expect, how good end, decades, a flash of the past.”

Zhu Di smiled and said, “Yes, decades in a blink of an eye on the past, the days left by heaven for me to think that there is not much more, but I am the son of heaven, there are still many things in the world that have not yet competed, if you can’t do it early and clean, really make me regret ah.”

Saying that, Zhu sighed quietly.

Yiluoha seemed to understand Zhu Di, but said, “Which of the things that His Majesty has done is not beneficial for a thousand years? After a thousand years, it will be praised by the world …….”

Zhu Di waved his hand and said: “You’re wrong, I and Taizu high emperor things done, which one which pile, are fishy and bloody, not be spat on even good, where also dare to do what the saint? But …… I will have these things at hand to finish, my son, my grandson, will have the opportunity to do the name of a thousand years of the saint, so ah …… I come to bear the name of this scolding, is not unavoidable.”

Also Lost Ha, “Your Majesty ……”

Yee Lostha wanted to say something.

Zhu Di interrupted him, ”You are also a person who has seen people’s hearts for a long time, could you not understand? I see that you understand very well, just in pretending to be confused. I these days, I feel tired, occasionally recall the past, and now think, I hundred years later, my children and grandchildren and future generations of people, if really born in the world of peace, they will not understand, will not understand, I this out of the desert, chasing after the dead and the north, and the success of the war, the rule of the world to the tyranny of the various deeds.”

“Will they not know that if you do not fight this Tartar, they will not be friendly and coexist. Will not understand, Jianwen so-called ‘good governance’, why will be defeated in my hands. Even more incomprehensible, why I always have to massacre, have to kill the blood flow into the river, only to give up.”

Said Zhu Di a smile, and said: “Can’t say, they will think, I am cruel and good to kill in my bones, like to kill for fun it.”

Yizuha reddened her eyes and said, “Your Majesty …… stop it, stop it ……”

Zhu Di said, “Then, you ask someone to tell Zhang Anshi, there is no need for the Chinese decree, directly pass the oral message, teach him to do everything cheaply, do not have any worries.”

Yiluoha then said, “The slave girl obeys the order.”

Zhu Di closed his eyes and only said, “I am tired, take a break.”

Yiluoha glanced at Zhu, then quietly retreated.

…………

At this time, Jukin, got a note.

Just one look at the note made everything clear to him.

This face full of smiles, every day, people will reveal a smile like the Maitreya Buddha, but now, his face is boarded up, no longer that pleasant smile, instead, is a cold face.

“Summon the major money banks.” Zhu Jin said, “All the treasurers of the money banks, all of them come.”

Soon, many money changers, grand masters, and even chief masters arrived, and they entered the merchant bank’s headquarters.

The crowds of people, waiting for something.

Zhu Jin said in a deep voice, “Due to the issue of the money bank’s reserves ……”

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Jin paced with a big belly, shuttling between the shopkeepers one by one. These shopkeepers were all acquaintances, and there were quite a few of them, all of whom Zhu Jin had personally brought up, and were too familiar to be familiar with.

All of them hung their hands in silence and shuffled along.

Zhu Jin continued, “In order to prevent the reserve from being insufficient, the United Chambers up and down began to contract the business of lending, all the loan approvals, no longer the treasurer is responsible for, more than 10,000 taels of grain silver, need to be approved by the chief treasurer, more than 50,000 taels, have to be handed over to the old man for approval.”

The moment these words came out, the hall, which was just quiet, burst into an uproar.

These shopkeepers, none of them are well versed in the business of the money changers, which is equivalent to directly covering the money bags of the money changers! And with their years of experience, once this news is released, for the vast majority of merchant houses and merchants, it is like the sky is falling.

“Zhu Gong.” Someone couldn’t help but stand out worriedly, “If that’s the case, something big is really going to happen ah, a lot of merchant houses …… they ……”

Zhu Jin pressed his hand and said, “The current market, need we say more? Furthermore, what is the situation now? All of you are not deaf and blind, must have heard, this is Wuhu County King His Highness after careful deliberation, came out of the results, but also in order to avoid making the money bank fall into a situation of no return, well, according to this.”

Hearing that it was an order from the Wuhu County King, this instantly left everyone speechless.

Only, many hearts began to wander.

Some people were so full of buzzing that they were, for a moment, at a loss for words, while others only felt that their eyelids were constantly throbbing and were no longer subject to the manipulation of their own bodily functions.

After Zhu Jin gave his orders, he asked the crowd to retreat.

He, on the other hand, sat upright and waited for those shopkeepers to retreat before saying, “From now on, close the door and thank the guests, all visitors, none of them. Tell them that they have not been well recently and are not in a position to see each other, but of course, be polite.”

A clerk waiting nearby nodded and complied.

Only then did Ju Jin stand up, his expression growing more and more grave.

After contemplating for a long time, finally, returning to his former spring-like smile, he shook his head and muttered, “Whatever, let it be.”
