Chapter 7.
Nanjing City in the past few days under a rain, the rain in Jiangnan is always like prostatitis, always want to stop and stop, down and not exhaustive, but also like a half-covered woman in general, always less enjoyable.
The weather suddenly cold some, the East Palace side, a eunuch to Zhang Shian sent a new coat, is the Crown Prince and Crown Princess afraid of Zhang Anshi do not know hot and cold, specially ordered to send.
Although Zhang Anshi did not lack clothes, but he also knew that whenever there was a change in the weather, the Eastern Palace would always give clothes, in fact, it was a reminder of the meaning of Zhang Anshi to add a piece of clothing.
Zhang Anshi went to the schoolhouse again with great gusto.
Only today, the schoolhouse has changed.
Outside the courtyard wall of Hu Yan’s mansion, however, he saw a single forbidden guard wearing a flying fish coat standing across the sword, three steps to a post, five steps to a whistle.
It was as if he was in the presence of an enemy.
Inside the courtyard wall, there were even cries of misery.
Zhang Anshi got off the carriage and his legs tightened.
Horrified glanced to the accompanying Zhang San: “Ya …… my benefactor Hu Yan Gong was copied?”
Zhang San blinked and swallowed, too scared to speak.
Zhang Anshi entered the academy alone, only to realize that in this front yard, a dozen teenagers were kneeling on the ground.
Zhu Yong was even worse, drooping his head, and there was actually someone who shackled him, this bulky wooden shackle around his neck, and as soon as he saw Zhang Anshi, he mouthed, “Big brother, run.”
Zhang Anshi winced, but then he heard the screams again.
The scream grew clearer, only to see someone being held down on a wooden bench and whipped with a leather whip.
Zhang Anshi fixed his eyes and saw who it was if not Zhang Yoking.
Zhang Yoking wailed on one side and seemed to have caught a glimpse of Zhang Anshi as well, so he yelled, “Big brother, big brother, hurry up and run, they’re coming to beat you up.”
The executioner was dressed in a flying fish suit, and a cold-faced eunuch stood to one side.
Zhang Anshi was so scared at this point that his legs were shivering a bit.
It was not true that he was a man of two lives, but the first time he saw such a solemn scene, he was really inexperienced.
Subconsciously, Zhang Anshi wanted to run, but then he thought: would it be too late to run at this time?
I’m afraid that if I run, the consequences will be even worse.
After taking a deep breath and fixing his mind, Zhang Anshi said very nicely, “I won’t run, I recognize the punishment, and I’ll go kneeling as well.”
Said a slip of smoke, to the kneeling teenagers to vacate a position.
But the eunuch was looking up at Zhang Anshi, “Which one are you?”
Zhang Anshi said, “Zhang Anshi.”
The eunuch then took out a book, flipped through it, but said, “Zhang Anshi? Oh, your zhengshi is quite good, it can be seen that you have used your efforts, there is no need to be penalized.”
Zhang Anshi was instantly relieved.
At this moment, another whip swung down hard.
Snap ……
Zhang Yoking howled like a pig killer.
Under his breath, he also slurred, “Big brother, didn’t you say Hu wrote it?”
Zhang Anshi almost left tears of sympathy.
The eunuch added, “Since Mr. Zhang does not need to be punished, and there are no lessons in this academy today, it is better for you to return.”
Zhang Yoking also chirped and grunted, “Big brother, you can’t bear to stay here in your heart, it’s better to go, I can stand it.”
“Oh.” Zhang Anshi nodded and ran off in a huff.
Zhang Yoking: “……”
However, Zhang Yoking had no time to think, and soon let out another pig-killing scream.
……
Zhang San was looking after the carriage and was probing outside, when he instantly saw Zhang Anshi scurrying out of the mansion like a rabbit.
Zhang San took a long breath of relief and went up in surprise: “Young master …… What is it, Master Hu was really copied?”
“Things are more serious than expected, and a few of my brothers are afraid they’ve folded in.”
“But young master you ……”
“I’m successful in my studies, so naturally I won’t be punished.”
Zhang San drooped his head, as if his head was running at high speed, pushing to see if there were any other ambiguities in those words.
Zhang Anshi said, “Hurry up and leave as the best strategy, don’t nag here, my brothers are beaten to this state, my heart aches so much that I have to get medicine for them.”
“Oh.” Zhang San nodded blankly.
……
“Fengtian Cheng Yun emperor, system said: recently heard that the East Palace Prince family members do wrong, the royal relatives shall not be restrained, rampant as this, really unlike. I every thought, this must be the cause of the East Palace arrogance, the Prince can not teach relatives, and how to govern the world, today I decree to admonish you, teach you the Prince know what is good and bad, and can no longer tolerate reckless, if the next time, by no means lightly spared, Qin Ya!”
At this time, in the East Palace, a eunuch was pulling out his voice, singing promise of a decree from the palace.
The words in the decree were very vulgar, of course, in fact, this has always been the style of Zhu’s holy decree.
Crown Prince Zhu Gaoqi knelt on the ground in a disciplined manner, listening to the imperial decree, but was already terrified and had no color on his face.
After the eunuch reading the decree had finished reading, he carefully smiled, “Your Highness ……”
Zhu Gaoqi sighed, “Understood, you and go and resume the decree.”
The eunuch went.
Zhu Gaoqi just sighing, back to the East Palace inner court.
At this time, Crown Princess Zhang came to meet the Crown Prince.
Zhu Gaoqi held her hand, depressed.
Zhang said worriedly, “Did Anshi get into trouble again?”
Zhu Gaoqi nodded and sighed: “This time it’s different, now it’s up to the heavenly audience, father personally issued an order to scold …… hey ……”
When Zhang heard this, she immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and busily said, “When His Majesty gave the decree, it is inevitable that in the eyes of the hundred officials, this is a sign that His Majesty detests His Highness, and if someone with a heart takes this opportunity to fall on the well and search for His Highness’s other faults, I am afraid that the wall will fall on the crowd ……”
In general, the emperor will not scold the crown prince, after all, the crown prince is the crown prince, need to establish a certain degree of prestige, then the reprimand will also be very polite, but this time so nonchalant, I’m afraid that his majesty will have to move something.
Zhu Gaoqi was silent for a moment and said, “This palace is not worried here, but it is Anshi …… those people with evil intentions may not dare to move this palace, but they can borrow Anshi to make an article, which is unfavorable to Anshi.”
Zhang’s will be like this Nanjing in the unpredictable weather in general, in an instant will be tears in the eyes, tears such as beads and chains of general snapping down, choking: “Poor me this brother, early on there is no father, I do sister, married into the palace door, the palace door is strict, can not be day to day to look after the discipline. Only left him alone in the outside, young and can not know things, I am afraid that a lot of friends around the fox and dogs to lure him to do wrong …….”
Zhu Gaoqi was moved, busy comforting: “Anshi heart is good, you and do not cry, everything can be discussed in the long run.”
Zhang’s tears immediately retracted and she looked at the small eunuch at the side and said, “Go and call that brother of mine here.”
So the eunuch went away in haste.
Zhang Anshi was really irritated this time, especially after seeing Zhang Yoking’s ass being beaten to the skin, he had a feeling of a rabbit dying.
He was summoned to the Eastern Palace and entered the inner court.
Hurriedly entering the hall, he saw his sister, Zhang, and smiled, “Sister.”
Zhang put on a displeased look, “What have you done again, I’m so pathetic, it’s fine that my mother’s family doesn’t have to rely on me, it’s also fine that you as a brother can’t share in the worries but you’re still causing trouble all day long.”
Zhu Gaoqi said from the sidelines, “Alright, alright ……”
Zhang said: “You see his playful and smiling look …… hey ……” said, then reached out to wipe tears and sobbed.
Zhang Anshi couldn’t see this, and busily put away his smile, drooping his head and saying, “What did I do wrong again?”
Zhang said, “Today, His Majesty issued an imperial decree, reprimanding your brother-in-law, saying that he was not disciplined properly, and also said that he connived and harbored, he is the Crown Prince, ah, a hallowed Crown Prince, being reprimanded like this, which one of the civil and military forces of this entire court is not looking at the jokes!”
“You silly brother, don’t you realize how difficult it is for your brother-in-law? His Majesty does not like him, and I don’t know how many treacherous villains there are around the Holy Emperor, stirring up right and wrong every day, look at what your brother-in-law has become worried about.”
Zhang Anshi then went to see Zhu Gaoqi.
However, I saw that Zhu Gaoqi was also sad and bitter, but I forced myself to say, “I am a son of man, I can not share the worries of the king, and it is right to be reprimanded …… Anshi is still young, it is just a matter of …… what is the meaning of saying this. “
