Chapter 516: The Good Show Begins
Jin Youzi glanced at his inner brother.
But instead of speaking, he sat down slowly and took a sip of tea.
Fang said, “Tell me, what is it about?”
This person is called Liu Jin, Liu Jin said: “Brother-in-law, I think, if His Highness the King of Wuhu County really went to Xinzhou, this Qixia said, is really a good place. Brother …… in fact, I also want to do a little bit of business in Qixia, only well …… His Highness the King of Wuhu County in, can not help but still some weakness. But if the Wuhu County King is gone, I’m afraid it will be good.”
Jin Youzi looked up at Liu Jin, “How?”
Liu Jin said, “Brother-in-law, you are the Wen Yuan Pavilion university scholar, without His Highness the King of Wuhu County, this Qixia, as well as this Taiping Province, is not under the jurisdiction of the court well ……”
Jin Youzi slowly put down his tealight, revealing a displeased look, and said, “Well, these words, don’t mention them, and don’t mention them to anyone.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Liu Jin cautiously said, “It’s just that brother-in-law, this Wuhu County King, in the end, will he be a vassal ……”
Jin Youzi said, “This …… can not be said.”
Liu Jin said, “No way, this Zhang Anshi would be so bold that he refuses to even listen to the posthumous edict? He is doggedly bold.”
Jin Youzi panted, said, “Wuhu County King has a great merit in the court, these words, you must not feel free to talk nonsense, or ……”
Before Jin Youzi could finish his words, Liu Jin was busy slapping himself and smiled, “Yes, yes, I really deserve to die.”
Jin Youzi thought about it, but then said, “Thinking …… Zhang Anshi may be moved, he has been entangled in the Daming for too long, the position is not good, not to mention …… what a blessing to be able to seal the Song king ……”
Liu Jin suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Jin Youzi then said, “What’s more, the pressure on the Crown Prince is not small now, the Crown Prince’s temperament, I know, he can’t help but have a few moments of indecisiveness. However, the Crown Princess, is a deep sense of justice.”
Liu Jin froze, “Crown Princess?”
Jin Youzi raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Jin, “You are the inner brother of the old man, do you know, as a female family member, the mistress of a family, having a brother, what would you think on a normal day?”
Liu Jin did not understand Jin Youzi’s deep meaning for a moment and frowned, “This …… but I don’t know ……”
Jin Youzi smiled faintly: “Women ah, is to figure a stable, and do not seek what the great wealth, not to say that sealed a Prince, got a piece of feudal land, the position of the people, she could not wait for their own brothers, do not participate in the temple of the disputes it! Throughout the dynasties, how many such lessons ah. Crown Princess is a person of deep justice, she will make plans for the Zhang family words, only afraid …… will also be in this regard, influence His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, hope …… Zhang Anshi to go to Xinzhou.”
Liu Jin heard, roughly also understand, and then said, “The original brother-in-law s real intention, is the crown princess …….”
Jin Youzi squinted his eyes, a flash of light flashed in his eyes and said, “Plotting is in the hands of others, accomplishing things is in the hands of Heaven, this is just some hypothesis, accomplishing or not accomplishing, who can know? Just …… hopefully but hopefully it will be so.”
Liu Jin then added: “If this is the case, then this world do not know how many people want to be grateful to sister husband, sister husband a hundred years after …… even more do not know how many people want to build a shrine to you.”
Jin Youzi violently opened his eyes slightly and said angrily, “Nonsense!”
Liu Jin but obviously do not feel that his own brother-in-law is really angry, hehehe a smile, said: “Have brother-in-law these words, I will have a bottom in my heart, hehehe ……”
That Jin Zhaobo, however, stepped aside and said, “Father, if Zhang Anshi is gone. Is it possible for Hanlin not to go overseas?”
Jin Youzi, however, did not show any emotion, and sipped his tea again, before slowly and methodically saying, “This is not easy to say, things should be done one by one. Right now, just take the first step, don’t think about the future.”
Saying that, Jin Youzi stood up and waved his hand, “Old man is tired, it’s time to go and rest, inform the kitchen that there’s no need to prepare dinner.”
After saying this, he sprinted to leave, then remembered something and said to Liu Jin, “Stay at home for a few days?”
Liu Jin said, “No …… no need, I’m leaving here, and some friends ……”
He equivocated and was about to take his leave.
But at that moment, a doorkeeper came in a hurry.
This doorkeeper said, “Master, someone has handed in a note.”
Hearing the word cop, Jin Youzi’s body shook.
Took this strip away and only looked down at it.
Liu Jin then said, “Brother-in-law, is something wrong?”
Instead, Kim Youzi put the note away and sighed.
Liu Jin was even more curious and said, “Brother-in-law, you should say ah.”
“As expected ……”
“What?”
Jin Youzi said, “Qixia’s Wuhu County King’s House, has begun to pack up the traveling clothes, seems to have the intention of preparing to cross the sea ……”
Liu Jin heard this, and could not help but be stunned, then grinned ecstatically, “Sister-in-law is really a brilliant plan.”
Jin Youzi, however, said despondently, “This rather makes the old man feel ……”
His words didn’t continue, but he shook his head, deep in thought.
This Liu Jin heart has been happy bad, then did not pay more attention to Jin Youzi’s color, turned around and hurried out of the Jin House.
It didn’t take long to appear in one of the boats in the Qinhuai River.
This boat is decorated with lights and colors, silk and bamboo, while the crowd is smiling.
One by one, listening to Liu Jin’s words, they actually couldn’t help but stroke their palms and laugh.
“Brother Liu, in the future, we will have to rely on each other more.”
Liu Jin proudly patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry. In the future, if I eat meat, you will drink soup. Don’t even think about it, who is my brother-in-law …….”
Again, the crowd raised their eyebrows.
Once the Wuhu County King went to Xinzhou, then this Qixia, and even the Taiping Prefecture, there were just too many things for people to covet.
“I this imperial history …… also do not want to do, would rather go to Taipingfu to do a county magistrate can also be satisfied.” The person who spoke, the appearance of the hall, but the God is brightly said.
Liu Jin laughed, “This is good to say, when the time comes, I will just greet my brother-in-law. In my opinion, Brother Zeng’s appointment as a county magistrate is too condescending, and he should at least be a young magistrate of Taiping Prefecture.”
Where is this Zeng imperial history wants to do the county magistrate, after all, the imperial history Qingliu, is what kind of future …… This is just a trick to retreat into the future, just waiting for Liu Jin to be able to beat his chest to ensure that he said this.
“If this is the case, then …… I’m counting on Brother Liu.”
The crowd laughed again.
Liu Jin was hesitant at this time, and he was full of energy.
The people were even more attentive to him, and occasionally someone said, “That railroad …… is rumored to be a good deal ……”
Liu Jin was already drunk, but he said, “What, brother Zhou also wants to build?”
The man laughed loudly and said, “This can not afford to build, that is, a hundred Zhou Mou are tied up, but also can not afford to spend this silver ……”
Liu Jin, however, hemmed and hawed at him, seemingly insight into his mind, then said, “This you also rest assured …… that there is nothing difficult in the world, you can not afford to build, but this is not readily available?”
The crowd laughed joyfully again.
…………
At this time, the Wuhu County King’s Mansion looked busy.
Many people were packing up something.
Quite a few of the family’s possessions, wrapped up.
Zhang Anshi was giddy.
Until the visit of Yang Pu, who was the minister of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs.
When he came in across the threshold here, he saw Zhang Anshi’s joyful appearance, so he put on a stony face.
When Zhang Anshi saw him like this, he instantly seemed to perceive something, and revealed a mournful look as if he had lost his life.
Only then did he say, “Lord Yang, why have you come, and how come no one has been informed?”
“This house seems to be very busy, messy, I straight then came in, may be the guards see the subordinate officer is an acquaintance, so ……”
Zhang Anshi sighed: “Hey …… this king recently teared up, indeed …… lost control of the people up and down the house, hey …… this king is too sad .”
With that, Zhang Anshi reached out, wiping the tears that he was trying to squeeze out of the corners of his eyes.
Yang Pu looked at Zhang Anshi with a strange look, as if at this moment, he had a new understanding of Zhang Anshi.
However, he quickly adjusted himself and said, “My humble servant has heard that …… His Highness intends to go to Xinzhou?”
Zhang Anshi said, “What is Yang Gong’s opinion?”
Yang Pu looked deeply at Zhang Anshi: “Is Your Highness serious?”
Zhang Anshi sighed and said, “It’s just that I don’t want my brother-in-law to be embarrassed for me.”
“If Your Highness were to leave at this time, it would only be difficult for His Highness the Crown Prince.”
Zhang Anshi laughed and said, “Lord Yang is going to use his three-inch tongue ……”
Yang Pu smiled and said: “The next official just want to say some words from the bottom of his heart, hey …… since your Highness in Taiping Province since the implementation of the new policy, there are really a lot of people, by your Highness favor. Now …… there are also a number of people …… to be able to stand alone, but after all, their qualifications are still too shallow, did not enter the temple, but the town is just a party, Your Highness has not thought about it, once Your Highness went down to the new continent, how many people want to pop the crown to celebrate, when lost Your Highness’s Shelter …… and how many jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards will be attracted?”
Zhang Anshi said, “In that case, wouldn’t it be true that this king will not be able to settle the feud for the rest of his life?”
Yang Pu shook his head and said, “At least some more years are needed, there need to be more people, graduated from Qixia’s academy, let them start practicing from the civil official, then slowly become a feudal official, and finally step into the temple, only these people are the most reliable ah. What’s more, this oracular dispute, my humble servant feels that it is really fishy, does your highness really want to do the thing that hurts the relatives and makes the enemies happy?”
Zhang Anshi looked at him fixedly and said, “Do you mean …… that this king will not go? But if I don’t go, do you know what the consequences will be?”
Yang Pu collected his laughter and nodded his head, “I know.”
Zhang Anshi said with a wry smile, “Then tell me.”
Yang Pu said, “Once His Majesty’s great line of work is completed, and His Highness refuses to take up vassalage in the capital, there are bound to be people who think that this is His Highness the Crown Prince defying His Majesty’s wishes, and that it is a great unfiliality. There are even people who will take this opportunity to attack, and may even set off a ritual discussion.”
He paused, then said: “The so-called name is right, the words are smooth, want to openly succeed the great system, it is not easy. Once it is criticized, causing the world to talk about it, it is not a good thing for His Highness the Crown Prince. In addition, this also cuts off the possibility of your highness to be crowned prince, your highness must also regret it?”
Zhang Anshi said, “I have no interest in titles.”
Yang Pu smiled, but did not reveal it.
Prince and County King are two concepts.
Especially in Daming, this Prince is considered to be a serious land division, under a variety of royal subordinate officials as well as institutions, there are enough royal guards establishment.
In addition to this, at the level of Prince, one is considered to have completely transcended the concept of being a vassal.
Even if you meet a first-ranking member of the court, according to the law, you need to pay homage to the Prince in ambush.
Don’t underestimate the words ambush and pay your respects.
In ancient times, the most ritualistic times, this ambush and pay a visit actually means that the Prince has a special power that others can not enjoy.
It had to be said that Emperor Taizu Gao, indeed, had worried his heart out for his sons. If it were not for the fact that this world could only be inherited by one person, he would have hated to divide everything among his sons, that is, those princes.
Yang Pu thought about it, said, “Your Highness …… or please consider again and again before ……”
Zhang Anshi only nodded and pursed his lips, but he didn’t seem interested in saying more.
When Yang Pu saw this, he only shook his head in his heart.
Zhang Anshi looked at him and said, “Well, it’s getting late, it’s time for this king to go into the palace to serve His Majesty, let’s go back and talk.”
Zhang Anshi said, already getting up.
……
When Zhang Anshi arrived at Zhu Di’s bedchamber.
Zhu Di at this time actually ambled on the paperwork, lifting the pen, writing something.
Zhang Anshi looked around and whispered, “Your Majesty …… is not afraid that someone will see it?”
Zhu Di looked at his careful appearance and couldn t help but laugh, saying, “Don t worry …… I am much more cautious than you. How is it, how are things done?”
Only then did Zhang Anshi say squarely, “It’s all in order.”
Zhu Di nodded his head, pondering something while saying, “This seems …… then it is time to choose a good day.”
Zhang Anshi froze and said, “Good day?”
Zhu smiled and said, “Of course it’s a good day for the crown prince to ascend the throne.”
Zhang Anshi laughed uncontrollably and subconsciously exclaimed, “His Majesty has not …… not …… yet.”
“Nothing?”
Zhang Anshi hesitated for a moment before whispering, “There is not yet a great line of …… coughing ……鑷ｄ竾姝�.”
Zhu Di smiled and said: ”Isn’t this almost a big line? Furthermore, this big line …… is still not when I say when? Tonight …… will call the prince to come, I should also show the people, tell him the truth. But this play, still have to play on, according to me to see …… many people already can not wait for …… me big line, both so …… then… . might as well pick a good day, so as to teach them to be happy ……”
Zhang Anshi: “……”
Zhang Anshi couldn’t help but spit in his heart, still happy, it’s going to kill him in the end!
Zhu said at this time, “How about August 19th?”
Zhang Anshi said, “I don’t understand this.”
“That’s the day after tomorrow …… Well …… that’s a good day for it.”
Zhang Anshi, on the other hand, hesitantly said, “Your Majesty, will this ……”
Zhu Di said, “Aren’t you usually very bold? Now you are afraid?”
“I just think …… this seems unlucky.” Zhang Anshi said.
Zhu Di instantly understood Zhang Anshi’s meaning, smiled and said: “I have never followed the rules in my life. People, always have to follow through, can not come to old age, but became an honest person, right? Follow me is, don’t think too much, I now other already don’t want to worry about, just want to see, some of these people, can be heartless to what extent.”
Zhang Anshi had to nod, “If it’s August 19th, will it be too late ……”
Zhu said, “It’s not a problem ……”
Zhang Anshi thought for a moment and said, “Then this matter, is it necessary to discuss it with Eunuch …… Yilungha.”
Zhu Di nodded and said, “It’s time to let him know, you go ahead and talk about this matter.”
Zhang Anshi responded helplessly.
…………
Slow long night.
In the Forbidden City, it suddenly began to become incredibly chaotic.
Immediately after that, as if in one night, all the lanterns here were replaced with white lanterns with濂�.
All the eunuchs and forbidden guards, all of them were draped in sackcloth and had white caps on their heads.
Zhang Anshi’s entire body looked unnatural.
He didn’t expect to play this big.
After this night’s change, in fact, the Hundred Officials already knew what had happened.
Immediately, all of them prepared white belts and tied them on their bodies, and with sorrowful faces, they first went in from the noon gate and made a great salute.
And then, he went to visit the Prince.
A country cannot live without a king.
The Emperor’s great line, then embracing the new ruler to ascend the throne, is not to be delayed.
The general situation is that the emperor stops his spirit, the crown prince will then ascend to the throne, and the burial will then be ordered.
The ministers meet the Prince.
But found an extremely odd thing.
The Crown Prince who was like a dead father a few days ago.
At this time, it seems to also want to put on a sad look, but someone secretly went to observe, I don t know if there is a problem with the vision, but found that the crown prince …… seems to hold back trying to laugh.
At this moment …… the ministers who had inadvertently perceived the expression of the crown prince were so frightened that they were busy pretending that they had not seen anything.
Immediately after …… the heart can t help but sigh.
His Royal Highness …… has always shown his filial piety, and the days when His Majesty was seriously ill were even more painful.
Who would have thought that this His Majesty’s two legs, which had just been a great line, he could not hold back his laughter.
But when you think about it, it seems barely understandable.
Which prince did not look as if he was the most filial during the emperor’s lifetime?
Today’s Prince, already over forty years old, now finally have the opportunity to ascend to the great treasure, do not want to smile are difficult, right.
Zhang Anshi, however, on the side of the crown prince Zhu Gaoqi, anxious to stomp his feet, taking advantage of the hundred officials to bury their heads in the ambush of kung fu, came to the side of the crown prince Zhu Gaoqi, with a very low voice: “Brother-in-law …… don’t laugh, don’t laugh …… are looking at it ……”
Zhu Gaoqi, who had already learned the truth, tried very hard to collect his laughter, but could not help but say, “Don’t laugh either.”
The duo’s voices were slight, muttering.
This hundred officials do not hear very clear, but only know that the Prince and Zhang Anshi seems to be discussing what, and do not see the Prince to teach everyone to avoid salute, but also had to continue to prostrate in the low, a kowtow look.
“Ahem …… excuse me.” Zhu Gaoqi said.
“Your Highness …… “Afterwards, it was the normal process, Liu Guan, the Minister of Rites, got up and bowed again, “This is the unfortunate death of His Majesty, please Your Highness do not mourn… …”
He said on one side.
Unavoidable to see the extremely good spirit of Zhu Gaoqi, the corners of the mouth constantly tugged at the corners of the mouth, efforts to suppress the corners of the mouth does not make it up.
Liu Guan as if his eyes blind, as if completely unable to see the general, still fuss general: “After all, the ancestor base is important, the people are important. Please your highness, to undertake this great task, do not have to grieve too much, take care of their own bodies.”
