my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 514 The Emperor's Heart Is Unpredictable

Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di.

At this point thoughts are flying.

So he looked at Zhu Di and said, "Your Majesty means... Jin Youzi has other plans for this move?"

Zhu Di smiled, but the smile obviously didn't reach his eyes, and said: "Whether there is a conspiracy or not, what does it matter? Just wait and see."

Zhang Anshi said: "Should I be prepared?"

"No need." Zhu Di said: "It's useless to prepare. Instead of doing this, it's better to just sit on the sidelines. There is a saying, "If you don't break, you can't stand. If there is any action at this time, it will make people suspicious."

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty is still wise. But...they are so bold that they dare to pretend!"

Zhu Di smiled, and said: "Who can accomplish things in the world, who is not a daring person? Just like me, when I was in trouble, many people thought, how daring I am, how dare I rebel? How many people in this world It is such a person, if such a person succeeds, they will shine forever, and if they lose, they will lose everything, and there is nothing to blame."

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but smiled and said: "I don't have such courage."

Zhu Di was noncommittal, but suddenly said: "Really?"

"Ah..." Zhang Anshi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I am wronged!"

But Zhu Di said: "You don't have such courage because you didn't take that part! If Jianwen made me feel at ease to be a vassal, would I have such courage? If it wasn't for Jianwen, I would abolish a vassal today and tomorrow Forcing a vassal king to set himself on fire, would I have the courage to put all my eggs in one basket? If it weren’t for the emergency that Jianwen had sent people to Beiping to arrest me, how could I make such a painful decision..."

Zhu Di continued to speak eloquently: "Actually, these people... are the same. A new policy will destroy their family fortunes. There is also a long history of entering the cabinet, which will cut off their official careers. Zhang Qing's family, do you really think... ...Won't these attract backlash? Do you think that as long as there are many soldiers and generals, they can't do anything to you?"

"You're wrong. They won't fight you head-on where you are good at, but how can such a deep hatred be taught them to be willing to bear it? It's just that some people... can't find an opportunity, they just wait for the opportunity anxiously. And some People, but they can seize the opportunity at the corner and strike back."

Looking at Zhu Di's face, Zhang Anshi couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty appreciates them?"

Zhu Didao: "I regard them as opponents. Now that I am feigning death, I appreciate them the most. If not... How can a mere group of thieves be worth my effort?"

But then he smiled coldly and said: "It's one thing to appreciate. In the world, there are right and wrong, but there is no right or wrong. I am not a corrupt scholar, and I will not pursue what is right or wrong. I only know who is right or wrong." My enemies, since they are enemies, must be dug out and wiped out, so that all disasters can be eliminated."

Speaking of this, Zhu Di showed a bit of tiredness, and sighed: "I am really old, and I am no longer as smug as before. What I am doing now is just to clear the last obstacle for my descendants."

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty is still very young...you can live...a hundred years old..."

Zhu Di said: "Others are long live, but you are hundred years old."

Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "This is different..."

Zhu Di shook his head: "Okay, I know you really mean it, so don't keep talking. Next, you know what to do."

Zhang Anshi said: "I obey the order."

Obviously Zhang Anshi wanted to laugh, but he still had to put on a mournful face. This was a huge challenge to Zhang Anshi's acting skills.

But there is no way, at this time, I can't laugh loudly in front of others.

Therefore, he had no choice but to keep a sullen face, and act dumb when he met everyone.

After all, you can't do it with tears streaming down your face, but it's still easy to act like you're out of your mind.

Wenyuan Pavilion...

It was already the next day.

The smoke in the temple has not yet cleared.

The Wenyuan Pavilion, which has always been harmonious, is now filled with gunpowder.

Sheren and Shuzuo, now their hearts are in their throats.

At this time, they were all nervous and inexplicable, fearing that they would be involved in it.

But Hu Guang just went back last night and managed to take a nap. Early this morning, he hurried to be on duty again.

Although he couldn't sleep well, he maintained ample physical strength.

As soon as he arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion, he asked if Yang Rong had come, and then he plunged into Yang Rong's room.

"Mr. Yang, I thought about it all night and thought it was too scary. Jin Youzi is really scary."

Yang Rong raised his head, looked at him with weird eyes, and said, "You're right."

Hu Guangdao: "He really has the endurance. He doesn't show his face on weekdays, and even occasionally shows support for the New Deal, but until then, he didn't try to see him. How can a person... be so hypocritical!"

Yang Rong still looked quiet, and only hummed.

Hu Guang looked at him, frowned and said, "Mr. Yang, why are you so calm? You...you..."

Yang Rong said: "Then what should I do?"

Hu Guang said anxiously: "It's almost imminent, and now it's the time for the righteous death festival, we eat the king's salary..."

Yang Rong suddenly interrupted him and said, "Mr. Hu, can you sit down and have a sip of tea slowly?"

Hu Guangdao: "I don't want to sit, I just want to stand and talk."

Yang Rong smiled helplessly, and said: "Hey... this matter is indeed very serious, but Hu Gong should not be so excited, why don't we wait for the development of the matter before making a conclusion."

"Why?" Hu Guang looked at him suspiciously.

Yang Rongdao: "Because...Since Duke Jin made such a choice, there must be a reason for his choice. Now this time is indeed a good time."

"Great timing?" Hu Guang was confused.

Yang Rongdao: "Your Majesty may want to make a big move, the new monarch may not be able to gain a stable foothold, and the world is worried. Now... something has happened to the will, and now there are different opinions. The dispute in Wenyuan Pavilion is actually not important anymore."

"Why is it not important?" Hu Guang's anger was raised again immediately, and he said angrily: "You and I were ordered, why is it not important? Last night, you also heard it with your own ears, and you know what His Majesty's oral order is. Is there no right or wrong now? If people don’t have right and wrong, what’s the difference between them and pigs and dogs?”

Yang Rong smiled wryly and said: "Hey... hey... hey... Mr. Hu, can you let me finish my sentence first. Right and wrong are important, but right now it's not useful to fight for right or wrong...but that people in the world Willing to believe what the truth is?"

Hu Guang stared at him with wide eyes: "Ah... what do you mean?"

Yang Rong said: "If everyone wants Zhang Anshi to become a feudal clan, then at this time, everyone will firmly believe in being a prince and going to Xinzhou to become a feudal clan. If everyone doesn't believe it, everyone will think that Jin Youzi is a hypocritical edict. You understand Did I mean it?"

Hu Guang frowned into a Sichuan character, and said: "Then people in the world believe it or not?"

Yang Rong smiled and said: "The reason why Jin Youzi suddenly threw this out when he didn't have an advantage in Wenyuan Pavilion is, to a certain extent, because he believes... everyone will believe his words."

Hu Guang said angrily: "Then there is no distinction between right and wrong?"

Yang Rong said: "How come you are still saying right or wrong?"

Hu Guang was furious: "In the books I read, in my father's precepts and deeds, there are some right and wrong. If there is no right and wrong, then there is no talk of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom!"

Yang Rong sighed and said, "You are very good, but what we are talking about now is not this, we are talking about the actual situation."

"Shouldn't people talk about this in real situations? So what's the difference between a hypocrite and a hypocrite?" Hu Guang said.

Seeing Hu Guang's furious look, Yang Rong was very helpless, and said, "It seems that I can't convince you, Mr. Hu came here just to say this?"

Hu Guangdao: "I've made up my mind. I plan to go to see the prince and explain the reason. This matter is not trivial, and it is related to His Majesty's oral order. If even His Majesty the Crown Prince can't trust me, then I, Hu Guang, will simply resign and ask His Majesty if he believes in Jin Youzi. It's still me, Hu Guang...Yang Gong, we have always had a good relationship, and you will not go with us."

Yang Rong shook his head: "No."

Hu Guang stared at him and said, "You are greedy for wealth and power, and you are obsessed with power!"

Yang Rongdao: "It's not this problem, but this problem. Even looking for the prince is useless. His Highness the prince has no power to make decisions. He is only the prince now. If you teach him how to deal with it now, you will only put him in a dilemma. "

Seeing that Hu Guang wanted to refute, Yang Rong continued earnestly: "Think about it, if he believes in you, then those who believe in Jin Youzi will think that the prince even tried to keep Zhang Anshi on his body. Even going against His Majesty's will is a great disobedience. Think about it, can the crown prince bear the accusation of disobedience?"

"The most frightening thing here is far from being as simple as right and wrong. Rather, it puts His Royal Highness in an embarrassing situation. At the same time, it also seals Zhang Anshi, giving the Zhang family a way out. For Zhang Anshi It would be a good choice to leave everything here and return to Xinzhou. And for the officials who have been tortured by the New Deal these years, it also has an additional outlet. For the gentry in the world..."

Hu Guangdao: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Yang Rongdao: "Even if you don't want to go, I would advise Mr. Hu not to go. At this time, His Royal Highness is about to ascend the Great Treasure, and it is time to win the hearts of the world. We are arguing over this, whether it is said to be a party dispute, or it is said to be a matter of passion." It doesn't matter if you fight. But His Royal Highness, no matter what choice you make, it will put him, the new king who is about to inherit the great rule, in a very embarrassing situation."

"Historically, when a new monarch ascends the throne, he needs to show his filial piety and buy the hearts of the world. That's why...there will be amnesty and measures to win over the ministers. After the overall situation is settled, after a year or two, then Carry out your own ideas. At this time... to persecute His Highness the Crown Prince is out of the question. We should focus on the overall situation and limit this debate to Wenyuan Pavilion and all officials, not the East Palace."

"You..." Hu Guang pointed at Yang Rong, but didn't bother to say any more, stomped his feet, and went away aggressively.

Hu Guang was very angry.

Go away directly.

However, although he was furious, he didn't take Yang Rong's words seriously, but...he didn't go directly to the East Palace, but obediently went back to his room.

I didn't have any thoughts on drawing, but took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and started to draw cockroaches. I drew dozens of cockroaches, and thoughtfully marked each cockroach, big and small.

"Jin Youzi."

"Jin Youzi's eldest son..."

"Jin Youzi's eldest grandson..."

……

Jin Youzi was extremely low-key, he did not continue to talk about His Majesty's oral order, even if someone came to visit, he never continued to talk about it with anyone.

He was still silent, looking extraordinarily calm, as if nothing had happened.

Even at the cusp of this storm, he is still in business as usual.

"Jie Gong..." Jin Youzi came to Xie Jin with a memorial.

Xie Jin nodded, raised his head and glanced at Jin Youzi, and said with a smile, "What advice does Mr. Jin have for you?"

"This memorandum... is about Jiangxi's persuasion of farmers. It was played by Jiangxi's chief envoy. It's just that there are some unclear words here. Can Xie Gong take a look."

Xie Jin nodded, reached out to take the memorial, just looked at it, and said: "Last year's grain harvest was bumper, so this year the common people hope to grow more sangzi, which is understandable. If the government orders not to force the cultivation, it is not appropriate. The best way is to limit only some of the big households."

Jin Youzi nodded.

Xie Jin returned the memorial, and Jin Youzi took it. Jin Youzi said, "I heard that on the other side of Jishui, Xie Gong's people will also move to Java?"

Xie Jin sighed: "Jishui is a good place with outstanding people. Hey... this is a place for birth and breeding. It is impossible to say that it is not sad to leave it without leaving home. But Java also lacks manpower. They go to Java, go make a difference!"

"It's tough there, but if you don't go through these trials, how can you shine on the lintel? In the history of the big family, which one didn't start a business hard to benefit the children and grandchildren? So that the children and grandchildren have nothing to worry about? This matter... Xie is I wrote letters again and again, advising them, but they still couldn’t make up their minds, and now...seeing that a certain re-entered the cabinet, they actually asked them to enter Java, and they agreed.”

Jin Youzi said: "It's really admirable for Xie Gong to sacrifice himself so much."

Xie Jin smiled and said: "I'm afraid it's just to teach people to ridicule. They have already entered the cabinet, but they still teach the clansmen to go to dangerous places."

Jin Youzi thought for a while and said, "There are indeed doubts."

"Because this is the general trend of the world." Xie Jin glanced at him and said, "It's like enfeoffing the feudal princes after the Zhou family defeated the merchants. How many clan relatives of the Zhou family went to the world, and the hardships involved can be imagined." , that's not the case... Where did the Zhou family's royal career come from? How did hundreds of princes surnamed Ji come from? Throughout the dynasties and dynasties, there have been many people who can see the general trend clearly. people, but very few.”

"Why? Because this trend is the result of the joint efforts of thousands of people. If everyone doesn't work hard, how can the general trend come about? Everyone likes leisure and hates work, and wants to pick up what is ready-made, but... opportunistic, and in the end it is nothing more than being clever and being misunderstood by cleverness. "

After a pause, Xie Jin smiled again and said: "Jin Gong, you and I are from the same hometown, and there are no outsiders here. There are some things that Xie Mou shouldn't ask too much, but at this moment I can't help but whisper in my heart, and I ask Jin Gong to enlighten me." .”

Jin Youzi said: "Please also ask for instructions."

Xie Jin's eyes were gloomy, as if there was something flickering, but he said lightly: "Did Duke Jin really hear about your majesty's conferring the king of Song Dynasty on the vassal?"

Jin Youzi wasn't angry, nor was he in a hurry to defend himself. He still looked calm and calm, and said slowly: "I really didn't expect this to be a muddled account, but... Jin can't argue with it, so I can only say... the letter is true." , Believe it or not."

After hearing this, Xie Jin pursed his lips, as if he had found his answer.

He just said lightly: "You can do it yourself."

After thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "In fact, Java is really a good place. Although many places there are still barren, it is close to the vast ocean, and it faces Daming across the sea. There are no four seasons. The land is fertile and can be called The Land of Abundance."

Jin Youzi smiled and said, "It's congratulations that Mr. Xie found a good place."

With that said, Jin Youzi took the memorial and left.

Work for a while.

But a Shu Zuo came in a hurry and said, "Jie Gong...the new memorial..."

Xie Gong said indifferently: "Take it."

Who knew that there were quite a lot of memorials sent by the Secretary of General Administration.

It was piling up like a mountain on Xie Jin's desk.

Xie Jin was interested, and immediately took a copy, and only glanced at it lightly.

Then, he was thoughtful, and then...he said slowly: "Three..."

Then he spat out another word: "Two..."

Shuzuo, who hadn't left yet, was very puzzled, so he looked at Xie Jin suspiciously.

Only seeing Jin read again: "One!"

Read this word.

"what……"

From the guard next door, there was a piercing roar.

It can be described as sonic rubble.

With a clear expression on his face, Xie Jin breathed out, hooked his lips, and couldn't help saying: "It's still the same... Everyone has changed, but he hasn't changed!"

As he spoke, he shook his head...and sat upright with a wry smile.

The source of the voice came from Hu Guang's mouth.

Hu Guang also just saw the memorial sent by the Secretary of General Administration, and after roaring for a while, he immediately turned the memorial into a mess.

Immediately afterwards, he stood up and ran to Yang Rong's room angrily. When he saw Yang Rong, he said angrily, "Shameless, really shameless..."

Yang Rong was also holding a book in his hand, and smiled bitterly: "Hush ... a little movement, people who don't know, think you and I are conspiring, just like you and I are the same as the party."

Hu Guang snorted and said: "A gentleman is a friend and not a party. I am not afraid of what people say, but I am not afraid of what people say."

Yang Rong sighed: "Okay, Mr. Hu...you stop being angry, and speak slowly if you have something to say."

Hu Guangdao: "It seems that Zhang An Shicheng's trip is a foregone conclusion. This Jin Youzi...is really despicable and shameless, he must have colluded with others a long time ago! Hey...you here...have so many memorials? They also sent them of?"

Yang Rongdao: "I said earlier that the key to the problem is not right or wrong, but... what other people believe in the truth..."

"Are they right to believe?" Hu Guang asked coldly.
