MTL - My Brother-in-law is the Prince-Chapter 397 I am the country
Chapter 397 I am the country
Zhou Yan just froze in place, staring at Zhang Anshi absent-mindedly, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
He looked at the scraps of paper that Zhang Anshi had kneaded, and when the scraps of paper were raised, the imperial edict of His Royal Highness fell down with the wind.
Zhou Yan opened his mouth, but he was still speechless.
Zhang Anshi laughed lightly, with a joke in his smile, and said: "Any other edicts, or imperial edicts? Bring them all, and let me have a look."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhou Yan with serious eyes.
There was no sound in the hall, everyone looked at Zhang Anshi without saying a word.
But if you look closely, it is not difficult to see that from the moment Zhang Shian walked in, everyone's eyes were dim, but now they are brighter, with joy in their eyes.
Zhang Anshi continued to look at Zhou Yan aggressively.
At this time, Zhou Yan had obviously become the target of public criticism. There was a flash of panic in his expression, but he tried hard to calm his mind.
I saw that he forced a little smile, and said: "Commander... This is the prince's edict after all, and the governor's words are probably going to be true."
He seemed to remind Zhang Anshi kindly.
Zhang Anshi's eyes suddenly widened a little bit, revealing a look of rage. With a movement of his body, he raised his leg and kicked Zhou Yan over, and said angrily, "Falseness? The only thing I, Zhang Anshi, is not afraid of in my life is falling The population is true! Why, you dare to break ground on Taisui’s head by asking for an edict that is difficult to distinguish between true and false?"
Although Zhang Anshi's force value is not high, he is young after all and has strength. Zhou Yan was directly kicked to the ground by his sudden kick, like a fallen bastard.
He turned over in a panic, ignoring the pain in his body, bowed down and kowtowed: "Commander, being humble is also obeying orders."
Zhang Anshi's eyes were full of coldness, and he said sharply, "Whose order is it?"
"Mrs…"
Zhang Anshi shouted: "My brother-in-law, will I give you such an order? When you are about to die, you still want to pour dirty water on my brother-in-law's head?"
Zhou Yan was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he said in a panic: "No, it's not the prince, it's... it's..."
"Who is it?" Zhang Anshi said coldly.
Zhou Yan hurriedly said: "It's...it's a humble self-assessment."
Zhang Anshi pointed at Zhou Yan, and said to the people around him: "Look, he himself admitted that he falsely passed on the edict, heinous, he deserves death. He said this himself, and I didn't force him."
Chen Li and the others were all staring at Zhou Yan. At this moment, they already understood that Zhou Yan... was going to die anyway.
After hearing this, Zhou Yan howled immediately: "Dudu...Dudu...you taught me to say it, I...I..."
Zhang Anshi sneered: "The person who instructed you to come here is probably someone else."
Hearing these words, Zhou Yan shuddered suddenly, and dared not speak anymore.
"It's okay." Zhang Anshi said slowly: "You don't need to say, this is Jinyiwei, this is Nanzhen Fusi. If you want to speak, there are naturally all kinds of means. Are you afraid that you won't be able to speak? You, this is my Weiwei. Brother in the middle school, commanding and envoys, with a decent reputation, but you want to be lowly and a thief, if that is the case, then naturally I will fulfill you."
Zhou Yan's face became paler, and he kowtowed with tears in his eyes: "Forgive me."
Zhang Anshidao: "If I spare you, will the brothers in Nanzhen Fusi forgive you? Will my brother-in-law forgive you? National laws and family rules can forgive you?"
Zhou Yan was already kneeling on the ground, and he couldn't understand the situation at this time.
Zhang Anshi didn't want to look at him anymore, he just turned his head and said: "Put this person under arrest, and force me to question him fiercely. I will definitely find out who is behind him."
"Here."
Everyone is excited.
This week, Zhou Yan was dragged down like a dead dog.
Zhang Anshi's face was serious at this moment, and he immediately said: "Call for people, follow me into the palace to **** you."
Without the slightest hesitation, everyone said in unison: "Here."
Zhou Yan’s so-called edict, Zhang Anshi said that it is not an edict, so it is not an edict.
But Zhang Anshi said that he was going to **** him, but no one questioned it.
For this sake, even if Zhang Anshi asked everyone to line up to eat dung, obviously no one objected.
So everyone quickly dispersed and went to prepare.
Only Chen Li stepped forward and said, "It's really great that the governor can come back safely."
Zhang Anshidao: "I sent you a letter from Jiangxi, did you receive it?"
Chen Li did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly said: "You have already received it."
"Where's the letter?"
"Burned."
Zhang Anshi: "..."
Chen Lidao: "Things have changed. When I received the letter, the prince's edict came. Zhou Yan immediately restrained Jin Yiwei. I wanted to see what Zhou Yan and others have done this week. So this A secret letter, not shown to others. Of course, this is a humble self-assertion, and it is really deadly."
Zhang Anshi nodded: "Have you found out anything?"
Chen Li raised his head, his eyes were burning, and he said word by word: "Just a mere Zhou Yan is nothing, and behind him, the involvement is extensive, which is amazing."
"Very good." Zhang Anshi patted him on the shoulder, with a look of relief in his eyes, and said: "You can act on your own, and now the **** is important. You should continue to investigate this clue. Remember...you have to follow the vines, every one of them will be found." Don't let it go."
Chen Li nodded: "Humbleness used to be just a thousand households. If it weren't for the support of the governor, how would you have thought that you would be where you are today? The governor's kindness, humbleness is unforgettable, please rest assured."
Zhang Anshi nodded.
He is still very satisfied with Chen Li, he is stable, meticulous in handling things, he can do everything without showing his face, and most importantly, he is loyal.
"Oh, that's right." Zhang Anshi suddenly said: "This Jinyiwei has to be purged."
Chen Li was taken aback: "I don't know what the governor means..."
Zhang Anshi said: "Like Zhou Yan, all the military officers transferred from other pro-military forces were dismissed or assigned to other pro-military forces. From now on, all the candidates for middle and senior military officers in Jin Yiwei will be considered by the governor. From now on, there is no need to pay attention to the opinions of the government office. Intermediate-level military officers must be educated in official schools in the future. Those who are still in the thousands or hundreds of households can stay in the post. After a few years, if they are capable Yes, they can stay, and if they are not capable enough, give them a leisure job to provide for them.”
Chen Lidao: "Understood."
Zhang Anshidao: "You should handle this matter quietly. All the candidates will be compiled into a book and shown to me."
"Here. But..." Chen Li said with some concern, "Captain, if the ups and downs are all arranged by our guards, the pro-military guards... Our Jinyi Guards have too much authority, and we are afraid that some people will be dissatisfied and spread something. Words that are not good for the governor."
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "You won't believe it when you say it, this is what His Majesty meant."
"Ah... this..." Chen Li really showed a look of astonishment.
But Zhang Anshi went on to say: "Of course, I am also interested in this. What this Jinyiwei needs is to be like an iron bucket, airtight, free from any influence from the pro-military guards and officials, and to be unique. If not, How can we deal with those rebel parties that emerge in endlessly in the future?"
As he said that, Zhang Anshi took a deep look at Chen Li, and continued: "It will be a matter of time before your Majesty will implement the New Deal. In the future, it will be a painful pain for many people. Your Majesty is going to perform an operation on the whole world." , surgery, do you know? And our Jinyiwei is this scalpel, if the knife is not sharp enough, then what is the use of Jinyiwei? So..."
Zhang Anshi pondered: "Jin Yiwei will also set up an internal affairs department to review the files of the Weizhong official school and check their backgrounds to ensure that everyone is safe and there will be no more people like Zhou Yan. The internal affairs department , teach Chen Daowen to take charge."
Chen Li listened and said, "He's still too young, I'm afraid..."
Zhang An Shidao: "What I'm afraid of are those people who are old and have learned to be slick, and then hang a copybook of 'rarely confused' in their value room."
Chen Li was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "I understand what the governor means."
Zhang Anshi said again: "This Zhou Yan, what has he done these days?"
"I have been promoted to some official schools, other than that, I hope to transfer the humble to Zhenjiang..."
Zhang Anshi snorted coldly and said: "Every official school he was promoted to will be dismissed from office, and none will be left behind."
Chen Li hesitated for a moment, and said, "Some people may not be his henchmen..."
Zhang Anshi said: "Don't leave impurities. As I said, you want to be like an iron bucket. If there are some people who feel wronged, then find a way to transfer them to other pro-military forces. If it doesn't work, you can still recommend them to other soldiers." East factory."
Chen Li sneered: "The East Factory has always hoped to transfer some people from us! I understand."
"That's right, I plan to recommend you as the commander of Jinyiwei."
"Ah..." Chen Li looked at Zhang Anshi in astonishment: "This is impossible."
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."
At this time, the troops of the brigade are already assembled.
The school captains in fish suits were full of murderous looks, and they all stood with their swords on their hands. Under the leadership of thousands of households and hundreds of households, they went straight to the capital.
Ti rides first on the flying horse and is responsible for clearing the road.
Another model battalion followed behind, formed a formation, and walked slowly.
Qixia.
This place has become the thoroughfare of the world.
But these days, they have experienced unimaginable ups and downs.
With the construction of the Jiangxi Railway, all commercial firms saw the opportunity and believed that the railway would be rolled out in the future, so... a large number of workshops began to expand their production.
For a while, it can be described as extremely prosperous.
But the news that followed was that one after another, they directly taught all the workshops and fell into a desperate situation.
Jiangxi's railway is not repaired. When the news came out, steel, wood, even cotton spinning and all commodities plummeted instantly.
It is conceivable.
I thought it opened the door to a new world. Compared with the railway in Zhili, if the railways in various provinces start to be built one after another in the future, this is a huge market.
After tasting the sweetness in Zhili, any merchant would not want to miss such a good opportunity.
Although Zhang Anshi thought it was risky at the beginning, the vast majority of merchants are doing their own livelihood. As long as there is enough profit, it is nothing to stand up and take risks.
But they have calculated the cost, the potential of the market, the profit, and even the cost required in the unspoken rules. The only thing they haven't calculated is the human heart.
Immediately afterwards, the news of His Majesty and Zhang Anshi's death in Jiangxi came out, and the entire Qixia almost came to a standstill suddenly.
Everything they do today is based on the premise of the New Deal, and everyone knows that the general background of the New Deal is His Majesty today, and the real planner is Zhang Anshi.
Now that they are gone, no one knows what will happen tomorrow?
These merchants who have just grown up, as well as the soldiers and civilians who have just tasted some sweetness, have no power at this time.
They used to be fish, but now they are just fatter fish, ready to be slaughtered.
Amidst the wailing, almost everyone was in a desperate situation, and all business transactions seemed to have fallen into a huge catastrophe.
Only at this moment, Jinyiwei and the Model Battalion suddenly started to mobilize, not only did not arouse the worries of Qixia soldiers and civilians, but...suddenly, people's hearts were slightly calmed down.
This may be the only inheritance left by His Majesty and Duke Wei to Qixia, or the entire Zhili.
The mighty men and horses rushed straight to the capital.
Directly take over the city defenses everywhere.
Seeing this, the imperial guards obediently handed over their duties in a daze.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Anshi flew to join Zhu Di.
Zhu Di is still in the boat.
He is not in a hurry, he is waiting slowly.
At this time, Zhu Di was like a chess player, he made a move casually, and where the chess piece landed, the entire capital was boiling, and whispers were everywhere.
Zhang Anshi came to Zhu Di and said, "Your Majesty, the arrangements have been made."
Zhu Di nodded: "I asked someone to inquire about some things."
Zhu Di said slowly: "I heard... something went wrong with the United Bank?"
"This…"
Zhu Di said: "Many merchants...are unable to make ends meet, and invested too much in the early stage. Now...bankruptcy is imminent, and the bank can't get back the money it borrowed?"
Zhang An Shidao: "In the past, many merchants pinned their hopes on Jiangxi's railway...now..."
Zhu Di nodded: "There are still many merchants whose sales are slow. I also heard that many workshops are laying off their staff?"
Zhang Anshi said: "It should be."
Zhu Di said again: "Lianzhen's business... has lost money in this monthly account?"
This business firm is Zhu Di's lifeblood, and it is almost the main source of income from internal funds. Every year, the steady stream of income is paid into internal funds.
In these years, under the management of Zhang Anshi and Zhu Jin, it can be said to be flourishing, and it can be said that it has a lot of money.
Losing money is completely beyond Zhu Di's imagination.
Ke Commercial Bank is rooted in the entire commercial system of Zhili.
Once Zhili is depressed, the various commodities produced by the commercial firms, as well as the various investments at the beginning, will naturally be greatly affected.
Zhang Anshi also knew that Zhu Di valued the firm, so he patiently explained: "I have already sensed the danger, so the investment in the firm has been very restrained in the past six months. If you think about it, even if you lose money, you won't be hurt. , it is estimated that it is only a slight loss, but other businesses..."
Zhu Di couldn't help but sighed: "I let these people in Jiangxi toss the railway, it's because I dig my own grave."
Zhang Anshi was speechless for a while.
That's right, you really did it yourself, no wonder me!
Zhu Di did not continue to be sad, and said: "Let's go, enter the palace."
"Follow the order."
Zhu Di went to the pier, and he stood there for a while, there were already school lieutenants all over the vicinity, guarding him as tightly as an iron barrel.
Zhu Di walked on foot, and did not take a chariot.
Zhang Anshi held his sword and followed behind.
When the two moved, all the followers started to move.
There are Tiqi riding in front to clear the road, there are two guard wings, and there are retinues behind.
The mighty men and horses went straight to the Forbidden City.
...
In the Forbidden City, things are very strange.
The atmosphere is extremely depressing.
This is actually understandable, the dragons have no leader.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered the palace early in the morning to meet Empress Xu, presumably because he was afraid of his mother's grief, so he dared not leave without authorization.
As far as the officials are concerned, there are those who are worried about it, some who want to take advantage of the situation, and some who are secretly planning the layout. They have their own ideas, and they are all different. Almost everyone is trying their best to enter Wenyuan Pavilion. Ask for news.
This Wenyuan Pavilion is full of horses and horses, and everyone is waiting for the news from His Royal Highness.
And in Wenyuan Pavilion, why not?
At this time, Yang Rong was sitting upright, still dealing with the memorial at hand.
At this time, he can only behave calmly.
Hu Guang and Jin Youzi can only do this. If they panic at this time, it will make the floating hearts even more uncertain.
At this moment, Hu Guang suddenly saw a memorial, and then hurried to Yang Rong.
"Mr. Yang."
Yang Rong raised his head, nodded to him and said, "What?"
Hu Guang frowned and said: "This memorial, even strange, is to impeach Jin Yiwei."
"Huh?" Yang Rong took the memorial and just glanced at it: "So fast?"
Hu Guangdao: "Yes, it's really too fast, but it's not aimed at Wei Guogong, but at the officials and schools in Jinyiwei, saying that they ran amok at the beginning, planted frame, and harmed Zhongliang. I know Chen Li, but... Duke Wei has just left... so impatient..."
Yang Rong didn't seem surprised at all, and said calmly: "This is a temptation."
He paused for a moment, then said again: "The person playing this is just a mere censor, but I want to come, just to test His Highness the Crown Prince."
Hu Guang immediately said: "How can His Royal Highness let him do what he wants?"
Yang Rongdao: "Of course he won't let him do what he wants, but... the crown prince's successor, after all, lacks prestige, and the new king is on the throne. At this time, is there any reason not to win the hearts of the world? If you can't do good at this time, then... you will have to Take the opportunity to make trouble."
"Now it's up to His Highness the Crown Prince's reaction. If His Highness the Crown Prince has any doubts, or the response is not firm enough, then there will be countless impeachment petitions pouring in like mountains and seas."
