my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 295 Killing Heart Sudden

Zhang Anshi looked at the eunuch, and said with a smile: "Is there some treacherous minister in the court who actually deceived His Majesty, so that His Majesty didn't even know where the person who wanted to reward him was? In short, this decree is full of mistakes. I can’t pick it up, if I do, wouldn’t I, Zhang Anshi, be like some people, a deceitful person? Take the decree, go back and tell His Majesty, and say that there are only criminals here, and there are no meritorious officials.”

The eunuch was so frightened that he was sweating profusely.

At this time, he recalled it.

It's bloody bad luck, why... I took on such an errand.

He didn't dare to say anything more at this moment, but said tremblingly: "The slave...say goodbye."

With a purpose, I want to leave in despair.

"Wait a minute!" Someone shouted.

But it was Liu Rong from the official department.

Liu Rong was in a hurry, his eyes were bloodshot, he rushed forward and said, "The intention is right, that's right."

eunuch:"……"

Liu Rongdao: "The officials who read out the will are here!"

eunuch:"……"

Liu Rong hurriedly said to Zhang Anshi: "Duke Wei... Please accept the order."

Zhang Anshi looked at him with a sneer: "I'm not as courageous as you guys. I'm very timid, and I'm also very afraid of death. I don't dare to pick up my life. If I pick up the wrong one, I want to chop off my head and kill my whole family."

When the words "Kill the whole family" came out of Zhang Anshi's mouth, Liu Rong's face suddenly turned pale.

He was no longer as domineering as before, and with a puff, his legs softened, and he knelt on the ground: "Duke Wei... this is not a joke, it's not a joke..."

Zhang Anshi stared at him with his hands behind his back, with a cold expression on his face: "Now you also know that this is no joke, but don't you guys like playing games very much? Since you like playing games, then I, Zhang Anshi, will play with you to the end."

"This is a misunderstanding..." Liu Rong cried.

Zhang Anshi looked at him disdainfully. Seeing him prostrate at his feet, he wanted to pick up his toes and lick them wildly, but he laughed loudly and said, "What a misunderstanding, but just now, the people below me almost Not only are you dismissed as an official, but you also have to be assigned to Qiongzhou. It’s okay to suffer the crime yourself, and you will also harm your family, and your children and grandchildren will be officials. But now, in your mouth, it is just a misunderstanding? You are such a big official Wei, I usually know that you are powerful, but now I understand that you have such an ability to turn clouds and rain."

After that, Zhang Anshi's face was full of sternness, and he said angrily: "Your mother, you think I, Zhang Anshi, are easy to deceive, don't you? Don't you think it's ridiculous to tell me about the misunderstanding now?"

After listening to this, Liu Rong's face was miserable.

Zhang Anshi then took a few steps, and said to the people: "Come here, call me Chen Lilai, His Majesty may have orders later, and I will stand by for orders from the thousand households in the church."

"Yes."

Zhang Anshi turned to look at the eunuch, and said sharply: "What are you still doing here?"

The eunuch was frightened and shook violently.

He wanted to see if there was still room for reconciliation between the two parties, but now seeing Zhang Anshi's murderous look, he had no more thoughts, and immediately turned around and left.

Zhang Anshi returned to the lobby. The clerks in the mansion were all happy. Just before, they still felt that they were in danger. After all, even Gao Tongzhi and the others had ended up like this. They, the clerks who assisted Zhang Anshi, waited until the new official took office. , the next step must be to clean them up.

As for not cleaning them up now, it is because they are not qualified yet.These civil servants have the most sensitive sense of smell, so they naturally know how ruthless the officialdom is.

When gods fight, once they lose, the cats and dogs below will all die ugly.

But now...they felt at ease all of a sudden.

The whole body is full of energy, a rising tide lifts all boats, one person attains the Tao and ascends to heaven...

Countless thoughts emerged in their minds.

No, this time it wasn't just one person who attained the Tao, but the entire Taiping Mansion... all ascended.

Everyone followed Zhang Anshi, and Zhang Anshi sat down, and they went to serve tea and water, and Zhang Anshi scolded the group of animals.

Everyone nodded one after another, and when they nodded, they had to be very serious, like the anchors in the news, serious and serious, showing concern for the country and the people, and nodded one after another: "What the Lord said is pole."

"The father-in-law spoke out the aspirations of the students."

"These killers..."

Soon, Gao Xiang and others, who had sorted out the delivery situation, came to the lobby one after another.

Zhang Anshi asked someone to move the seats, and everyone sat down one by one. They sat upright and did not make any sound.

Their official positions may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of the lords in the temple, but they have been practicing in the local area for a long time, and they have already perfected their human skills.

In fact, Zhang Anshi didn't need to remind them, they already knew what was going on.

Therefore, everyone's heart fell, but they all showed neither humble nor overbearing.

Throughout the whole house, there were occasional people who drank tea in a low voice, or occasionally had a few slight coughs.

…………

The eunuch hurried into the palace.

However, he was timid and did not dare to go to see Zhu Di directly, but hurriedly went to see Yi Shiha first.

"Grandpa, please save your servants." The eunuch bowed down with a bitter face.

Yi Shiha stood up, looking very unhappy, frowned and said: "What are you doing, do you still know the rules?"

The eunuch cried: "Grand Duke, Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Duke Wei... he does not obey the edict."

Yi Shiha was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "What's going on?"

The eunuch stuttered and told the ins and outs of the incident.

In fact, after talking about it briefly, Yi Shiha immediately sensed something unusual.

His eyes narrowed into a line, and he said thoughtfully: "Then the Ministry of Officials...Jingcha...has punished mostly people from the Taiping Mansion?"

The results of Jingcha, in fact, not many people paid attention to it.

It's not because the Jingcha is not important, but because...all fools know that the so-called inferiors set by the Ministry of Officials must be officials who have long been marginalized among Beijing officials.

Whether it was Gao Xiang, Li Ying, Zhou Zhan, etc., everyone just scanned the list, and felt that these names were strange, and they were all low-level characters.

It is only now that Yishiha understands that these people...are actually related to the Taiping Mansion.

Yi Shiha immediately said: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it..."

With his hands behind his back, he paced back and forth, and said in his mouth: "Your Majesty is already in a rage, if this news gets out, it will definitely add fuel to the fire..."

The eunuch was even more frightened now, so he cried and said: "Your servant thinks the same way, Grand Duke, you have to teach your servant, when to send it, can you..."

Yi Shiha said: "Your Majesty's anger is caused by this, not because of His Majesty's anger. When the anger subsides, he will not be angry. No matter what, this matter is important, so we cannot delay..."

The eunuch said: "Slave maid to deliver now?"

"Don't go." Yi Shiha said: "Let's go, you will just wait outside."

The eunuch suddenly seemed to be pardoned, his heart turned from sadness to joy, he hurriedly kowtowed and said gratefully: "Grand Duke... Slave... Slave..."

Yi Shiha waved his hand: "Don't talk about these things. After all, you are too young. If you encounter such a thing in the future, you have to ask Zhang Anshi for a memorial, and say that you will bring it back to His Majesty. You will play it yourself, and you will be able to do it yourself." Zhang Anshi played in the world, but the result was different. His Majesty read Zhang Anshi's memorial, and his anger and joy were all on Zhang Anshi, but you only brought back the will, and all the joy and anger of His Majesty had to be spread on you. Really What a fool..."

As he spoke, he took the imperial decree from the eunuch's hand, and said as he walked, "Come with us."

When they arrived at Wenlou, the eunuch waited outside the door, and Yishiha walked in.

Zhu Di was still deep in thought at this moment, seeing Yi Shiha tiptoeing over, he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Yi Shi laughed and said: "Your Majesty, the decree was sent to the Taiping Mansion, but at the Taiping Mansion, Duke Wei refused to obey the edict."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhu Di was not angry, but shocked.

"Where does Zhang Anshi have such courage, this kid was scared out of his wits when he saw the chicken being killed."

Yi Shiha said: "It's because Wei Guogong... is afraid of bullying the king."

Zhu Di sensed that there was something in Yi Shiha's words, so he only uttered one word: "Say."

Yi Shiha said: "It is said that the Ministry of Officials has already punished the officials that His Majesty wanted to reward before His Majesty. Exiled Qiongzhou as an official...and others...probably the same..."

Zhu Di's pupils shrank suddenly, as if he had seen a ghost, he was silent for a long time before he said, "Why is the official department like this?"

Yi Shiha said: "The officials said that this is His Majesty's will."

Zhu Di: "..."

Yi Shiha was not surprised by Zhu Di's reaction at all, and said patiently: "Your Majesty, you forgot that during this Beijing inspection, His Majesty has explained that those who are inferior to the Beijing inspection will be dealt with severely."

"You mean... the inferior Jingcha are all in the Taiping Mansion?"

Yishiha took a deep breath, in fact, he had already felt the anger in Zhu Di's body, but now, he could not avoid it, nor could he perfunctory, so he faced Zhu Di and said, "Yes, among the 31 inferiors, the Taiping Mansion is the Most of them...these people...just a few hours ago, they had already been deposed from office, and if it was serious, they were even assigned."

Zhu Di's body was stiff, but in the depths of his eyes, a pair of pupils seemed to have started to burn something.

His chest began to rise and fall, and what was even more frightening was that at this moment, because of being too excited, his brain seemed to have fallen into a kind of unconscious madness.

At the end, Zhu Di was so angry that he directly picked up the ink pen on the copybook, and patted Yi Shiha.

Snapped……

This amount of money was quite heavy, and Shiha's head sank when it was smashed, but he didn't make a sound, just stood where he was, still not saying a word.

Zhu Di said: "How dare the thief?"

Yi Shiha: "..."

Zhu Di was so angry that his face turned red, and he shouted: "They are playing me like this, what are they treating me as their puppet? I'm not dead yet, I'm not dead yet!"

Although Yi Shiha had anticipated Zhu Di's anger before, he still couldn't avoid being frightened, and quickly bowed down and said: "The crime of ten thousand deaths for slaves."

Zhu Di ignored it and was disappointed, and continued to scold: "These people have reached such a point, is it because the sword of deceiving me is not good?"

Zhu Di frantically ran through the literary building: "Okay, that's great. The people I want to reward, in their eyes, are all stupid and mediocre officials. What a bureaucrat. It seems... I should abdicate Rang Xian, let them sit here."

These words were scary enough, Yi Shiha shed tears and said in tears, "Your Majesty...don't say it, don't say it, how could your majesty say this...it's against the words of our ancestors."

Zhu Di said in a cold voice: "My ancestors...my ancestors were deceived by them, and now they have come to deceive me again, shameless, shameless!"

Yi Shiha said: "If Your Majesty gets angry, you can dismiss their officials..."

"Dismissed from office?" Zhu Di laughed loudly: "What do I dismiss their officials for? I want to see for myself how these people...deceived me. They are very vicious. Teach them to go to Beijing to investigate, and they will take peace." People from the government came to make up the number, and they kept saying that they wanted to clean up Gangji! I am really blind, but I still confess that I will be severely punished. Traitors have never dared to do this, even if Qin Hui is reborn, how dare he do this?"

Yi Shiha dared not speak.

"What about Taiping Mansion?"

Yi Shiha had no choice but to say: "The Taiping Mansion has received two decrees, and it is not clear which one is true and which one is false. The officials who were rewarded did not dare to accept the decree, and now they are preparing to clean up. Things, ready for delivery, and then..."

Zhu Di was obviously not in the mood to listen to the latter words, and interrupted: "Go to the Taiping Mansion and issue an order! Give the order to the Jinyiwei! And you Dongchang, first surround the official department, and everyone who is related to the affairs of the Jingcha, even if it is just I will also take down the errand runners first. When I go to Taiping Mansion, I want to see them confronted. Didn’t they always say that I must act fairly? Didn’t they always ask me to be discerning? Then I will show them. "

Yi Shiha said softly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, that Jian... the Ministry..."

Zhu Di said: "Take them all together, and don't let any of them go until there is no result. It is ordered that Beizhen Fusi, those involved in this matter, must be taken, and their residences in the capital must be surrounded first. Mo One is going to go, and when the truth is identified, then what should be caught and what should be released."

Yi Shiha said: "The servant obeys the order."

He touched his swollen forehead, feeling terrified.

Zhu Di said angrily, "Let's go."

Zhu Di took the lead out of Wenlou.

The eunuchs waiting outside were already scared out of their wits.

When he saw Yi Shiha come out stroking his forehead, the eunuch lay on the ground with his head up, looking at Yi Shiha worriedly, wanting to say something.

Yishiha followed Zhu Di step by step, and waved to him, signaling him not to make any noise at this time.

So the eunuch took a deep glance at Yi Shiha gratefully, lowered his head, and continued to kneel down in fear.

…………

Ministry of officials.

This place is still the same as usual, compared with other ministries, this place looks much more solemn.

Everyone entered and exited on tiptoe. This daunting official hall seemed to have a magical power, which made anyone feel awe of it.

At this time, someone came in a hurry.

The man ran wildly into the hall.

This is Liu Rong, the doctor who came back from Taiping Mansion.

This Liu Rong seems to be crazy, there is no usual official manners.

"I want to see Butang, I want to see Butang..."

The guards stopped him: "Mr. Liu...what's the matter..."

Many people poked their heads out of their communal rooms.

"I want to see the minister, it's a disaster, it's a disaster."

"Who is roaring here!"

At this time, someone came out of the public room as if taking a stroll in the courtyard, and asked sharply.

When everyone saw this person, they all shrank their necks in fright. This is Jian Yi, a heavenly official from the Ministry of Officials.

Jian Yi is an old official. He came from a famous family. Even when he was a child, he studied under Yin Zhe, the Zhongshu Zuocheng of the Yuan Dynasty at that time. Moreover, the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty paid a very high price to Jian Yi. Far beyond my reach, I shall accomplish it."

Growing up in such an environment and changing dynasties did not affect Jian Yi.Sure enough, as his mentor said, he was successfully elected and named on the gold list to become a Jinshi, and he quickly gained Zhu Yuanzhang's attention.

It can be said that Jian Yi's life has been smooth and smooth.

Now the official worships the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but he shows his integrity, honesty and sincerity.

He did exactly that. He had no entertainment on weekdays, and he hardly made friends with other ministers. He only did what he was doing well every day.

Therefore, this Jianyi has a very high reputation.

If Liu Rong saw him in the past, he must have been trembling and dared not show his anger, but today, he still shouted in panic like before: "Mr. Jian, Mr. Jian... a disaster..."

Jian Yi said, "Come to my husband's apartment."

Liu Rong said: "Your Majesty... issued an order to praise Taiping Mansion and upgrade Taiping Mansion to Jingzhao. Zhang Anshi and Taiping Mansion will ascend to heaven."

As soon as this statement comes out...

Among the officials, many people trembled.

Then, it fell into a deathly silence.

Immediately afterwards, outside the official department, there was the sound of people and horseshoes, and a family of guards in Jinyi rushed in first, shouting: "Wrap me up, not a single fly can come in."

As he spoke, he pressed the knife step by step and came in. Holding a driving sticker in his hand, he acted like no one else: "Which one is Mr. Jian? The driving sticker is here! Your Majesty has an order to ask Mr. Jian to confront the officials at the Taiping Mansion." .”

From the beginning to the end, Jian Yi actually didn't say anything, he just showed a trace of complexity in his eyes, and then calmly said: "Zunzhi."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head back calmly, and looked at the officials: "The driver is here, all the gentlemen put down the official duties at hand, and follow the old man to Qixia to face the saint."

Liu Rong was paralyzed with fright.

The rest of the doctors, principals, and on-duty hall officials were already pale or livid.

Baihu held the knife and looked at them vigilantly, with no expression on his face, full of murderous intent.

…………

Zhu Di rushed to Qixia.

When the horse fell, a group of imperial guards dispersed consciously, and formed a sentry in three steps and five steps.

Yishiha wanted to go ahead and inform Zhang Anshi.

Zhu Di said: "You don't have to wait for them to pick you up, I still have legs and can walk."

After all, he directly entered the Taiping government office.

This Taiping Mansion is surprisingly quiet.

Everyone gathered in the lobby and waited until the eunuch's shrill voice said: "Your Majesty is here."

Zhang Anshi immediately stood up and said, "Go pick him up."

Then he said to Gao Xiang: "Although you are criminal officials and wear the body of a criminal, you can come with me."

So everyone wanted to walk out of the lobby.

But at this time, Zhu Di has already stepped into the hall: "Who is the criminal?"

"His Majesty."

Zhang Anshi was about to salute.

But Zhu Di's eyes were like knives, showing his murderous intent.

Zhang Anshi said: "My minister..."

Zhu Di waved his hand: "Which one is Gao Xiang?"

"The untouchables...here." Gao Xiang calmly said.

He has already come to his senses now, and following Zhang Anshi won't hurt him. He thought that Zhang Anshi wouldn't protect him if something happened, but he didn't expect that this father-in-law would directly come to a big fight.

Now that he has a backer, he naturally knows in his heart that Zhang Anshi has set up a platform for him, and the next step is up to him.

This matter is no longer a matter of being an official, but of his own wealth and life.

He took a step forward, and Zhu Di looked at him.

But Gao Xiang didn't have a black gauze cap on his head, and the official clothes on his body had also been replaced with an ordinary Baixin round neck shirt.

At this time, he bowed to Zhu Di: "Untouchable Gao Xiang, I have met Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

Zhu Di glanced at Gao Xiang, saw that Gao Xiang was plain-looking, and said, "When did you become a pariah?"

"The minister is incompetent and incompetent. Now he has been deposed. Following His Majesty's will, he is now an official of the Qiongzhou government." Gao Xiang responded very calmly.

But this sentence hurt Zhu Di all of a sudden.

Zhu Di immediately flew into a rage, bared his teeth and cracked his eyes and said: "Whether you are incompetent or not, it doesn't matter what others say, I can make my own judgment."

"Death to the untouchables."

Zhu Di said angrily, "What position did you hold before?"

"The magistrate of the Taiping Mansion."

"What are you in charge of in the mansion?"

"Responsible for local salt, grain, piracy arrest, river defense, sea frontier, river engineering, water conservancy, clearing up military registration, appeasing the people and barbarians, etc."

"You are also in charge of collecting food?"

"Yes."

Zhu Di said: "How much is the grain collection this year?"

"Report to Your Majesty, 97 shi."

This amount matched the grain book that Zhu Di was looking at. He continued to stare at Gao Xiang and said, "How about eliminating the loss? How much can be entered into the treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

Gao Xiang settled down and said: "There is no loss."

"No loss?" Zhu Di was taken aback, almost speechless in shock.

After a while, he said: "How can there be no loss, but there is loss in all grain requisitions."

Gao Xiang said: "For all grain, put an end to fire consumption, all grain transportation, and all transportation personnel are paid to Shiyin, and they are required to transport how much and how much to store."

Zhu Di said: "What about the loss from being eaten by sparrows?"

"It doesn't matter." Gao Xiang said: "How much is out of the warehouse, after entering the warehouse, as much as you need, the money for transportation...pay, and ensure that there is no loss, it is the responsibility of the person who transported it."

After Zhu Di heard this, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback. This was obviously different from the situation in previous dynasties.

"In this way, the cost of transportation may rise sharply."

"There is an account for transportation, and there is an account for food. I am afraid that these accounts are mixed together. It is not clear how much this fire consumption was stolen by sparrows and mice, and how much food was eaten by corvees along the way. But if it is not clear, then there will be various names of additional distribution and apportionment. Instead of this, it is better to clarify it directly. In this way, each account will be clear and will never cause confusion. There is less room for extra pie.
