MTL - My Brother-in-law is the Prince-Chapter 347 Ruthless people have culture
Chapter 347 Ruthless people still have culture
An enveloped report was delivered to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di hurriedly ordered someone to summon Zhang Anshi to meet him.
When Zhang Anshi met Zhu Di, he grinned and said, "Your Majesty...what are your orders?"
Zhu Di glanced at him and said, "I heard that many scholars are making trouble?"
"Yes." Zhang Anshi put away his smiling face, put on a sad and indignant face and said: "The disturbance was very fierce, and even killed people, and even drove them crazy."
Zhu Di said: "Crazy..."
Zhang Anshi himself was numb, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Zhu Di saw that he had a troubled expression on his face, but instead asked the root cause: "How did you drive him crazy, how did you go crazy?"
"It's Li Shimian..." Zhang Anshi said with a wry smile, "He...he..."
"What's up with him?"
Zhang Anshi's unspeakable expression: "For some reason, he was running naked on the street...eating dung..."
Zhu Di smiled when he heard that Li Shimian was 'crazy'.
The ridiculous smile was short-lived, and in the blink of an eye, Zhu Di's face was pulled down.
Zhang Anshi buried his head, the hall was surprisingly embarrassing.
Zhu Di held his hands behind his back and raised his head. After a long silence, he said, "Are you really crazy?"
Zhang Anshi said helplessly: "This is unknown."
Zhu Di sighed and said, "I guess he must be pretending to be crazy!"
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty...how can this be seen?"
Just as the voice fell, a murderous look suddenly fell on Zhang Anshi.
Everyone in Zhang An froze, and immediately said: "Yes, yes, he must be pretending to be crazy, Your Majesty... this person must not stay."
"That's all." Zhu Di said with a flick of his sleeves, "How do you plan to end this matter?"
"Let them be in chaos for a while." Zhang Anshi said: "Nowadays, many scholars and gentry have nowhere to vent their anger. Instead of letting them fight the New Deal, it is better...to let them make chaos themselves."
"What's the mess?"
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "It's just a fake."
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi in surprise.
Zhang Anshi continued with a smile: "This is just the beginning, I have also prepared a combo set meal, please take a look, Your Majesty..."
Speaking, Zhang Anshi directly took out a long list from his sleeve, and said: "Here... the minister ordered Jin Yiwei to draw up a list, and according to the scholars in the list, and the gentry... the superiors... will send out news."
"Huh?" Zhu Di took the roster, squinted his eyes, and looked carefully.
The above is densely packed with names of various people, including ministers, great Confucians, and gentry.
Zhu Di looked at it and asked, "What news is this...?"
Zhang Anshi said: "For example, the censor Liu De, the minister said that he colluded with the minister and secretly revealed the movements of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to the minister."
Zhu Di subconsciously asked, "Did he reveal it?"
Zhang Anshi said: "No."
Zhu Di said: "Then why do you say he revealed it?"
"This person is eloquent..."
"Being eloquent, wouldn't it...can clarify your innocence instead?"
"Here is the problem. He can speak eloquently, but the number of people he can persuade is limited. He just wants to be true and false, and the false is true. Among the scholars, some people must believe him, and some people think he is eloquent. Ruhuang is actually closely related to Jinyiwei, so...there will be more controversy. To put it bluntly, the truth of the facts is not important, what is important...Everyone has the truth they want, and there will be disputes. There is nasty..."
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, "Just rely on this?"
Zhang Anshidao: "Of course it's not just relying on this, but throwing out hot spots one by one, making scholars overwhelmed. Today, it is found that someone is colluding with His Highness the King of Shu, and tomorrow, someone... and supporting the New Deal... Let this discussion never stop. come down."
Zhu Di looked at him thoughtfully and said: "But if it is finally clarified, if someone knows the truth, will they still be fooled?"
Zhang Anshi smiled: "Why not? People don't learn lessons! Besides, even if some people remember the lesson, others don't. In this way, the people who have remembered the lesson and the ones who don't remember it will be different. Are you going to fight again and blame each other? So instead of having them attack the New Deal together, let them kill each other and blame each other."
Zhu Di couldn't help laughing: "The well-behaved Jin Yiwei, why does he do this kind of thing all the time?"
Zhang Anshi smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, actually... I just let them practice their skills."
Zhu Di showed doubts: "Practice?"
Zhang An Shidao: "The minister set up a special thousand-household office in Weizhong... The duties of this special thousand-household office are different from those of ordinary Jinyiwei."
Zhu Di said with great interest: "What does the Special Thousand Households Office do?"
"This, this... is for this job."
Zhu Di's eyes were straightened: "What's the use of this thing? It's always spreading rumors and causing trouble?"
Zhang Anshi said in a very determined tone: "Your Majesty, this thing is very useful. If it is used well, one thousand households can be worth three model camps."
Zhu Di saw Zhang Anshi's excited look, he didn't continue to say anything, he just waved his hand and said, "Leave it to you."
"One more thing..." Zhang Anshi said: "The thousand households in this thousand households..."
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi suspiciously. Seeing Zhang Anshi hesitating for a while, he couldn't help asking: "Who is it?"
Under Zhu Di's gaze, Zhang Anshi finally said: "It's His Royal Highness King Yi!"
"Is that **** Zhu?" Speaking of Zhu, Zhu Di had a headache.
This guy...doesn't even look like a descendant of Emperor Taizu Gao. No matter how you look at it...he looks like a weasel, which is really a shame to the clan.
Originally let him enter the official school, Zhu Di was hoping that this guy would at least look like an upright man.
Keren is stronger, but his temperament has not changed.
Zhu Di looked uncertain, and sighed: "He can also be a thousand households?"
Zhang Anshi suddenly felt a little wronged for Zhu, and immediately said: "His Royal Highness Yi Wang entered Jinyiwei after he came out of the official school, and since then...he has successively served as a school captain, a small banner, and a general banner. This time, the special Qianhu Institute was established. Because there is an urgent need for manpower, and His Royal Highness Yi Wang has expertise, so the minister carefully considered before letting him take up this position..."
But Zhu Di said: "Just get used to him and see how long he can be self-willed! This kid...damn, I clearly raised him in the palace myself, not to mention that he has the blood of Emperor Taizu Gao, even if he is I've been around me, but I'm not half like me, hanging out with women all day long, as expected..."
As he spoke, Zhu Di shook his head.
Zhu Di had to admit that his education had failed.
He has a thorn in his throat, and he can't say that this guy's education is outrageous.
After all... King Yi was brought up by Empress Xu, isn't this the same as scolding Empress Xu?
Just let such a guy... hang around like this, and he is inevitably unwilling. He really wants to teach him a lesson, but this guy is stubborn.
Thinking in his heart, Zhu Di raised his head and gave Zhang Anshi a meaningful look. In his understanding, Zhang Anshi set up the so-called special thousand households office, just to accommodate Yiwang Zhu, so that Yiwang could be of some use. .
But in fact, what can be achieved by fanning the flames and spreading rumors?
Think about Taizu Emperor Gao, a commoner, who conquered today's world. Among his sons, there are few sons who are as strong as the King of Xiang, as brave as himself and King Ning, even if they are as wise as the King of Shu. coward.
Only this youngest son is so ineffective.
"Forget it." Zhu Di said with a bit of frustration.
If the feudal vassal had not been moved, Zhu Di would have wished that the vassal kings were useless.
But now...it's different, Zhu Di needs to rely on his brave brothers, now...
For King Yi, he had no choice but to comfort himself: "This guy...let him do whatever he wants, just take care of him."
Zhu Di once had the idea of letting King Yi take over as a vassal, but thinking about this guy... I'm afraid that if he really went overseas, there would be no bones left. After thinking about it, Jinyiwei is relatively safer.
Zhang Anshi thought for a while, and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, in the future... His Royal Highness King Yi is talented and intelligent, born with special talents, in the future... he will definitely be a blockbuster..."
"Okay, don't tell me these words, next time in front of Empress Xu, go brag about Yi Wang, and make her happy, it's also good."
Zhang Anshi knew that it was difficult to persuade His Majesty to change his view of King Yi, so he laughed and did not continue.
Right now...
Sudden…
There was a bang.
In the Forbidden City, the doors and windows were trembling.
The ground collapsed.
Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi suddenly changed their expressions.
An **** rushed in from outside and shouted in a panic: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Dibang... Dibang..."
It's just this movement, it's just trembling, and it seems to have stopped.
Zhu Di sullenly said: "It was fine, why did it collapse?"
Zhang Anshi immediately said: "According to the induction between heaven and man, someone must have done something outrageous."
Zhu Di: "..."
Zhang Anshidao: "I saw with my own eyes... that man named Li Shimian, pretending to be crazy and talking nonsense, he must have offended God."
At this moment when Zhu Di was still in shock.
Immediately afterwards, another **** came: "Your Majesty...it wasn't a landslide...it wasn't a landslide, it was an explosion, a violent explosion..."
Zhang Anshi turned pale with fright, his heart skipped a beat, and hurriedly said: "Where...where did it explode..."
"Shang... Shangyuan County..."
Shangyuan County…
Zhang Anshi felt relieved, Shangyuan County belongs to Ying Tianfu and has nothing to do with him.
Zhu Di said: "How much is the loss?"
The **** said awkwardly: "This... this... slaves don't know, the Grand Duke has already sent someone to investigate."
Zhang Anshidao: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Shu just took office as the Governor of the Left, but now something happened in Shangyuan County. I think... this should have nothing to do with the Governor of the Left. This must be the Governor of Yingtian. On weekdays... he didn't do anything..."
Zhu Di flicked his sleeves, and said with a cold face: "We'll talk about it when there's new news."
After a while, another **** came to announce: "Your Majesty, all scholars and ministers are here to see you."
Zhu Di said: "Xuan."
A moment later, Yang Rong and others filed in.
Obviously came for this news.
Almost everyone looked worried. With such a huge explosion, everyone's first reaction was Zhang Anshi's question.
So walking into the hall, everyone looked at Zhang Anshi meaningfully.
Zhang Anshi immediately understood the unfriendly gaze, and was anxious: "Master...Master...This is something that happened in Shangyuan County...Shangyuan County..."
Yang Rong wondered: "There is so much gunpowder in Shangyuan County?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Is there no need for it?"
Zhu Di said: "There is no need to argue now... The most urgent thing right now is to check the damage first."
All the ministers seemed uneasy.
It's too scary, it will explode if you say it will explode.
Then, another **** came and said, "Your Majesty, the princes are asking to see you."
Because gunpowder was involved, all the princes and princes from the governor's office of the five armies came to see him one after another. "
Zhu Di looked at everyone at this time: "The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, has gunpowder been stored in Shangyuan County?"
Qi State Duke Qiu Fu said: "No... never..."
He was very anxious, mainly because his son was Qiu Song.
In the past few years, he has experienced a psychological shadow, but whenever an explosion is involved, he feels that, in all likelihood, his son is the perpetrator.
Today is such a big explosion, I don't know what happened to Qiusong.
"Your Majesty...this is really too dangerous, I think..." Jin Zhong said at this time: "I think that, nine times out of ten, this is another problem with the firearms workshop. The firearms workshop is placed under the feet of the emperor, and the danger is too great Yes. Now... on the side of the Ministry of War... as long as there is any disturbance, many dependents will come to the Ministry of War to ask for someone..."
Zhu Di was puzzled and said: "I want someone... who do I want?"
Jin Zhong smiled wryly and said: "Two years ago, a group of disciples of honorable ministers suddenly disappeared, no one was alive, no corpse was seen after death. Although Wei Guogong has repeatedly said that this is some kind of military incident and is involved in it, but the family members At first I believed it, but now, I believe it...these people...I'm afraid that in some accidents, there will be no bones left, so...Duke Wei concealed it..."
Zhu Di seemed to remember something, and glanced at Zhang Anshi: "Yeah, what about Xu Jingchang and the others?"
Zhang Anshi seemed to wake up suddenly and said: "That's right, Xu Jingchang and the others... haven't come home yet?"
"..."
In this temple, there was a deathly silence.
All of a sudden, civil servants and generals went crazy.
The civil servants are okay, but Jin Zhong is unlucky, and he has to find a way to appease the family members of these generals every day.
But the military officials are different. Among them, Dingguo Gong Xu Jingchang, Zhang Anshi's father-in-law is involved.
Wei Guogong Xu Huizu was looking at Zhang Anshi with a shocked look.
In addition, there are Meng Wen, son of Baoding Hou Mengshan, Wang Xiang, son of Jing'an Hou Wang Zhong, and Xu Zhengye, son of Xing'an Bo Xu Xiang.
Zhang Anshi just remembered that there seems to be such a thing.
He did... sent a group of people to that huge workshop.
However, the implementation of the New Deal has always been inseparable, so Zhang Anshi naturally forgot about it.
Occasionally, he would think of it, and he couldn't help wondering why he didn't see that guy Xu Jingchang recently.
But now... Seeing everyone looking at him with strange eyes, Zhang Anshi immediately said: "Yes, this matter involves military affairs..."
Then Baoding Hou Mengshan was in a hurry: "Stop prevaricating, just tell me, is it dead or alive?"
"I think...I think...he's still alive."
"Where are they?" Meng Shan's heart sank to the bottom.
Zhang Anshi resentfully said: "In...in the research institute of Qixia Army Workshop...on business..."
Everyone is still full of doubts, you look at me, I look at you.
Wei Guogong Xu Huizu said: "It's been two years, how could there be no news at all? Let these children go home."
Not to mention other people, just talk about Xu Jingchang, Duke of Ding. This is one of the few great heroes of Jing Nan, let alone the nephew of Empress Xu and Duke Wei, and his father... died in Jing Nan. Said to be the only seedling of Ding Guogong's lineage.
Although these guys are doing mischief in the capital on weekdays, even if they are a group of prodigal sons, it is better than disappearing from the world.
Under so many gazes, Zhang Anshi was full of pressure, and nodded quickly: "Isn't this...to make them...to let them change their minds? I...I turn around...turn back..."
"There is no need to look back." Zhu Di was also a little anxious: "Put them home immediately."
Zhang Anshi was about to say yes.
At this time...Yi Shiha came in a hurry and said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... found out, found out... yes... it's the Qixia Army Workshop Research Institute..."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone's expression changed.
suddenly roared: "Fucking hell, where is my knife..."
Someone roared.
But it was Baoding Hou Mengshan.
Zhang Anshi's mind suddenly buzzed.
Duke Wei Guo had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and immediately hugged Baoding Hou Mengshan: "Don't worry, don't worry... It's not dead yet..."
Qiu Fuchangchang finally heaved a sigh of relief, and his body was a little fluttering. Finally... nothing to do with the old man.
So he also went to help, persuading: "Forget it, forget it, life and death are fate..."
There was a mess in the hall for a while.
Zhu Di was dumbfounded, he could no longer care about the chaos in the palace, his first reaction was, how to explain this to Empress Xu?
Zhang Anshi was also a little confused for a moment, and hurriedly said: "No... Didn't you say... Was it bombed in Shangyuan County?"
"It was Shangyuan County... that bombed it, but... but..." the **** said: "It's just that people from the research institute... went to Shangyuan County to bomb it."
Zhang Anshi: "..."
Such a violent explosion, nine out of ten...someone should have been vaporized.
Zhang Anshi only said dully: "I...I didn't let them do this, I just taught...teach them to behave themselves..."
Zhu Di sullenly, finally shouted: "That's enough, go take a look and see what happened..."
After a roar, finally... the chaos stopped.
...
The western suburbs of Shangyuan County.
A group of people are still in shock.
Everyone crawled out from layers of floating soil.
In the distance...the fire is soaring into the sky.
A young man wiped the dust from his face, blinked his eyes, and, ignoring the embarrassment of his body, said with a bit of glee, "It's okay, it's okay... Fortunately, I'm smart and came to Shangyuan County experiment, if not..."
"Brother Xu, Brother Xu..." A small man ran over like crazy, and said with tears, "It failed again, it seems... our cylinder can't bear it at all..."
"It's all your fault... you insisted on adding so much kerosene, who said to fortify gunpowder? A bunch of lunatics!" The man slapped the dirt on his body, cursed for a while, and then said abruptly: "How is it? It's okay Are you all right?"
"I'm going to take a look... not good... There are many people rushing here..."
But I saw a group of people who looked like farmers, holding poles, hoes, etc., rushing towards this side aggressively.
"We knocked down a lot of their thatched cottages, and those who came to settle accounts with us, run, run!"
Someone slipped away, and disappeared with lightning speed.
The rest of the people... no longer caring about lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, they turned over one by one and ran very fast.
Some people did not forget to say: "Everyone must protect the site, we will investigate later... we need to record the experimental data... I will go first."
Only a group of craftsmen were left, standing dumbfounded. They reacted slower, mainly because they didn't have the consciousness to run away subconsciously as soon as they heard a sound.
So... At this time, they looked at each other in dismay, and when they realized it, they were surrounded by farmers running from a distance.
Someone grabbed them and cursed angrily: "See the official, go to the official..."
A craftsman stammered and said: "I...I...it has nothing to do with us, they...they did it...they said...Shangyuan County...it's the most suitable place to do this...something happened, escape back...flee back, Shangyuan County The guards have to hunt across the border...The procedures are also cumbersome...Oh...it has nothing to do with me, I was against it at the beginning...Oh, how did you beat someone..."
At this time, a group of youths and teenagers had already disappeared without a trace.
After a while, the group hid in the military workshop.
Within this high wall, suddenly... they found a sense of security.
So... all of them couldn't help being complacent, one of them said: "Brother is really amazing, our Qixia 13th Taibao...everyone is really good at their feet."
This is called the eldest brother, and he is even more proud. He crossed his hands, raised his head slightly and said: "At least we have not forgotten our craftsmanship back then. Fortunately, I reacted quickly."
Someone said worriedly, "What about Carpenter Liu and the others?"
"Don't be afraid." The eldest brother continued to cross his hands and said: "They won't die. When the time comes...my brother-in-law will go out and get them back."
"Will they be beaten?"
The eldest brother shook his head and said, "I think...um...probably not..."
"Hey..." The elder brother beat his chest and fell down, "It seems... this method is wrong. It is clear that our method is correct, but why can't it be done?"
"Maybe it's a material problem?"
"Could it be a burning problem..."
"I think... it's a structural problem."
Everyone expressed their thoughts in a hurry.
The eldest brother held his chin, looked pensive, and said after a while: "It's a pity...it's a pity...hey...let's think about it, it's a pity that Mr. Liu and the others are not here...otherwise...you can discuss it with them again. Let's turn around, Look at my brother-in-law's notes again, maybe I missed something."
Immediately, everyone began to droop their heads again, with regretful expressions on their faces.
And at this moment... a group of people has already rushed straight to Shangyuan County.
In Shangyuan County, it was already a mess.
...
It will be updated by one o'clock.
