MTL - My Brother-in-law is the Prince-Chapter 295 Heart attack

  Chapter 295 Sudden killing intent

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 **** was sweating profusely from fright.

   At this time, he recalled it.

   It's bad luck, why... I took 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 desperation.

   "Wait a minute!" Someone shouted.

   But it was Liu Rong from the Ministry of Officials.

  Liu Rong was in a hurry, his eyes were bloodshot, he rushed up and said: "The purpose is correct, 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'm going to chop off my head and kill my whole family."

  When the word "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. 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 folded his hands behind his back, staring down at him, with a cold expression on his face: "Now you also know that this is not a 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 finishing speaking, Zhang Anshi's face was full of sternness, and he said angrily: "You 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, your majesty may have a decree later, and the Qianhu Office in the church will stand by for me."

"Yes."

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

  The **** 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.

  And now...they feel at ease all of a sudden.

  The whole body is full of strength, 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 enlightenment, but the entire Taiping Mansion...all ascended.

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

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 students' aspirations."

   "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 without making any sound.

  Their official positions may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of the nobles 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.

  As a result, everyone's heart fell, but they all showed neither humble nor overbearing.

  The whole house is up and down, but occasionally someone drinks tea in a low voice, or occasionally has a few slight coughs.

  …

  The **** hurried into the palace.

  But he was too timid to go to see Zhu Di directly, but went to see Yi Shiha first.

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

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

  The **** cried: "Grand Duke, Your Majesty... His Majesty's will, Duke Wei...he does not obey the edict."

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

  The **** began to stutter and talk about the cause and effect of the matter.

  In fact, after talking about it roughly, Yishiha immediately sensed something unusual.

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

  The results of the 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 is Gao Xiang, Li Ying, Zhou Zhan, etc., everyone just scanned the list, and they all felt that these names were very strange, and they were all low-level characters.

  Yi Shiha only realized now 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..."

  He walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, 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 **** 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 born because of this, not because of His Majesty's anger. When this anger subsides, he will not be angry. No matter what, this matter is important and cannot be delayed..."

  The **** said: "Slave and maidservant to deliver now?"

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

  The **** suddenly seemed to be pardoned, his heart turned from sadness to joy, and he kowtowed 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 edict from the eunuch, and said as he walked, "Follow us."

   Arriving at Wenlou, the **** waited outside the door, and Yishiha walked in.

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

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

  As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di was not angry, but shocked.

   "Where does Zhang Anshi have such courage, this kid is scared out of his wits when he sees killing a chicken."

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

  Zhu Di sensed that there was something in Yishiha'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 is not surprised by Zhu Di's reaction at all, and said patiently: "Your Majesty, you forgot that during this Beijing inspection, Your 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 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, thirty-one inferiors, among them the Taiping Mansion , accounted for more than half of them... these people... just a few hours ago, they had been deposed from the official position, and if it was serious, they were even dispatched."

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

  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 begun to fall into a kind of unconscious madness.

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

Snapped…

  This amount of money is quite heavy, and even if it was smashed, Shiha's head sank, but he didn't say anything, 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 hurriedly bowed down and said: "The crime of slaves is ten thousand deaths."

  Zhu Di ignored it, 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, it's very good. The people I want to reward, in their eyes, are all stupid and mediocre officials. What a bureaucrat, it seems... I should abdicate and let the virtuous , let them sit here."

  These words were scary enough, and Yi Shiha shed tears and cried, "Your Majesty...don't say it, don't say it, how can your majesty say this...this is against the words of the ancestors."

  Zhu Di said coldly: "My ancestors... 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 and said, "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 take Taiping Mansion Some people 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 anymore.

   "What did Taiping Mansion say?"

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... Butang also..."

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 Yi Shiha came out stroking his forehead, the **** lay on the ground, but raised his head, looked at Yi Shiha worriedly, and wanted to say something.

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

  Then the **** gave Yi Shiha a deep glance with gratitude, lowered his head, and continued to kneel down in fear.

  …

   Officials.

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

  Everyone enters and exits on tiptoe. This daunting official hall seems to have a magical power, which makes 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 stuck their heads out of their public houses.

   "I want to see the minister, what a disaster, what 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 sternly.

  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, 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 gone smoothly.

   Now the official worships the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but he shows others with 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 his own thing well every day.

   Because of this kindness, it has a very high reputation.

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

  Jian Yi said: "Come to the old man's house."

  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 remark came out...

   Among the officials, many people trembled.

   Then, fell into a deathly silence.

   Immediately afterwards, outside the official department, there were voices of people and horseshoes, and a hundred households of Jinyiwei rushed in first, shouting: "Surround me, 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 complicated color in his eyes, and then calmly said: "Observe the order."

   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 officials all had already turned pale or livid.

  Baihu held his 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 spontaneously, forming a sentry in three steps and five steps.

  Yi Shiha 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 finishing speaking, he directly entered the Taiping government office.

   This Taiping Mansion is surprisingly quiet.

  Everyone gathered in the lobby and waited until a eunuch's shrill voice said, "Your Majesty has arrived."

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

   As he spoke, he said to Gao Xiang: "Although you are criminal officials, 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?"

   "Your Majesty."

  Zhang Anshi was just about to salute.

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

  Zhang An Shidao: "Minister..."

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

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

  He has already come to his senses now, following Zhang Anshi will not suffer a loss, he thought that if something happened, Zhang Anshi would not protect him, how could he have thought that this father-in-law directly came 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 not about being an official anymore, but about one's own wealth and life.

  He took a step forward, 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 had an ordinary appearance, and said, "When did you become a pariah?"

   "The minister is faint and incompetent, and 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 said: "Whether you are incompetent or not, it doesn't matter what other people say, I have my own judgment."

   "Death to the untouchables."

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

   "Tongzhi of Taiping Prefecture."

   "What are you in charge of in Fuchu?"

   "Responsible for local salt, grain, piracy arrest, river defense, coastal areas, river engineering, water conservancy, clearing military registration, appeasing the people and other affairs."

   "You are also in charge of collecting food?"

"Yes."

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

   "Return to Your Majesty, nine hundred and seventy-four thousand five hundred and sixty stones."

   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: "All food, put an end to fire consumption, all food transportation, all transportation personnel, pay Shiyin, and ask them 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: "As much as it is out of the warehouse, after it is put into the warehouse, it will be as much as it needs to be. The money for transportation...pay for it, and ensure that there is no loss. It is the responsibility of the person who transported it."

  After hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help being slightly taken aback. This is 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.

  ...

  Tiger is here to say hello to everyone. The day and night are upside down, and he always lacks sleep. It is really uncomfortable. Tiger wants to adjust his breath tonight, so the second update will be updated tomorrow morning.
