My Brother-in-law is the Prince Chapter 133

  Chapter 133 Characters and evidence

  The so-called "Document Dacheng" is actually the famous "Yongle Dadian" in later generations.

  Zhu Di still knows scholars very well. He is not in the right position, so the first thing he does after he ascends the throne is to repair books.

  The so-called compilation of books is to collect excellent books from all over the world to make a grand canon.

   This is extremely attractive to many great Confucians!

  Think about it, if your own book can be included in the canon, wouldn't it be the fulfillment of the ultimate dream of writing to convey the truth?

  For readers, this is a feast.

  But to Zhu Di, it is his means to manipulate scholars! Those who are disobedient must not even think about it. Only obedient people will give you a chance.

  And once the book is revised, it means that a large number of Confucian scholars are required to organize and transcribe the anthology. These people all have official positions, which is equivalent to giving many scholars an official status.

  Cultivating books is the highest achievement for a scholar, and coupled with being an official, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

  Thus, in terms of the emperor's mind, don't look at Zhu Di's rough appearance, he always has plans for other people's mothers.

   But to a certain extent, these scholars are being controlled to death.

  Zhu Di asked Zhang Anshi to directly copy books in "Document Dacheng" in the spirit of thrift and housekeeping. Zhang Anshi couldn't help being overjoyed.

  You should know that the quality of "The Great Completion of Documents" is higher, and there are a large number of annotations from Hanlin and Confucianism, which is another new selling point for the library.

  So Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di happily and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Di did not hesitate to praise: "I originally thought that you were only proficient in economics, but who would have known that you are also proficient in governance! Although governance is a word, it is not easy! This method is another way , Very good! I really envy the prince, who has a right-hand man like you."

  Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am also your Majesty's right-hand man, and the crown prince is just my brother-in-law."

  Zhu Di smiled, he naturally knew that Zhang Anshi was almost raised by Zhu Gaochi, not to mention that Zhang Anshi's father died early, and although the crown prince was a brother-in-law, he was actually just like Zhang Anshi's father.

  Zhu Di did not continue to talk about this topic, but said: "Since you want to recruit scholars, then do your best and do it well, don't embarrass me."

   After finishing speaking, he and Zhang Anshi went out of the study together, and saw a small building with few people in it. Zhu Di couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Why is it so deserted there?"

  Zhang An Shidao: "There are books on miscellaneous studies, such as nine chapters on arithmetic, medicine, engineering, agriculture, etc., all of which I collected with great effort."

  Zhu Di said with regret on his face: "Scholars don't like to read these books, and it's understandable, but it's just a waste of space, which is a pity."

Zhang Anshi said very seriously: "Your Majesty, whether they like it or not is their business, but in this world, there will always be people who like it. The books here are all-encompassing, including Confucian classics, four books and five classics, and many historical books. But in my opinion , this miscellaneous learning is also a university question, and it can really help the world and benefit the common people."

  Zhu Di smiled and said: "You make up your own mind, I will let you guard here, and I will not interfere with the affairs here."

  At this time, Zhu Di changed the subject: "How many people are Zhu Yong?"

   "He's leading troops."

   "Several children, at this time, they should learn from their father and brother and bring a bird soldier." Zhu Di muttered, "Where is your soldier? I'll go and have a look, and then drive back to the palace."

  Zhang Anshi and Zhu Di left the library together.

  Who would have known that the outside of this library is also crowded with people. Many people want to come in after hearing that there are countless books here.

   What's more, it's free today, so more people are itching.

  Unfortunately, the inside was already full of people, and the guards at the door would not let them in, so there was a commotion.

  The preciousness of books in this era can be seen.

  Zhu Di ignored these people, and asked someone to lead the horse, and got on the horse.

  Zhang Anshi and Xu Huizu were behind, and someone asked them for a horse.

  Zhang Anshi took this opportunity to say to Xu Huizu: "Duke Wei has worked hard."

  Xu Huizu took a deep look at Zhang Anshi, and said with a slight smile: "You are not bad, you are better than some people."

  Zhang Anshi curiously said: "Ah... some people, my nephew still wants to teach me, these some people..."

Xu Huizu said: "There is such a place for people to study, there is no prostitution, and there is no crooked way. This is the right way for a man to live. There are many gossips about you in the outside world. Don't take it to heart, let alone learn from some people. It's crooked, a man is in this world, he does something, he doesn't do something, you may think it's long-winded, but it's always useful.”

  Zhang An Shidao: "Be taught."

   After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

  This is the uncle of the country today, and Zhang Anshi is the uncle of the country in the future. This should be regarded as an inheritance from the old to the new.

  Zhu Di was already ahead, and the two of them got on their horses quickly and drove fast all the way. Soon, they arrived at the camp.

   Zhu Di cavalry entered the camp.

   Then I saw that in Nuo Da's school grounds, the people inside were all wearing fish scale armor and holding wooden sticks in their hands. Under the scorching sun, five hundred people stood neatly, motionless.

  Zhu Yong, Zhang Fu, and Gu Xingzu were also fully armed and stood at the front of the team.

  Zhu Di glanced at it like a horse watching flowers, lowered his eyebrows, and said nothing, and then said to Xu Huizu who caught up with him: "What do you think?"

  Xu Huizu said: "Not bad."

   Zhu Di looked arrogant. At this time, Zhu Di is indeed something to be proud of. After all, he has led the army for decades and has almost no defeats, so he is the man he is today.

Zhu Di said: "It looks mighty, standing like a wooden stake one by one, but... what is the difference between this and the big Han general in the palace? It's just standing in a row. The real elite soldiers all climb out of the dead , That's the tiger wolf! These boys are still young.”

  Xu Huizu nodded.

   This is also true.

  In Zhu Di's inherent experience, soldiers are all fought in battles, and the reason why the Ming army at this time was chasing death and chasing the north, and fighting every hundred grams, did have its capital.

  Since Emperor Taizu Gao raised his troops, countless people followed Emperor Taizu Gao and traveled thousands of miles, fighting everywhere, most of them died, and the remaining people, which one is not an elite soldier?

   When the era of Emperor Taizu Gao passed away, the remaining generals and elite soldiers still took on the responsibility of fighting against the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty every year. Coupled with the Battle of Jingnan, those elite soldiers who climbed out of the dead, in Zhu Di's mind, were the capital of Daming's arrogance to the world.

  As for these immature guys in front of them, just standing like the guards, they look a little bit, but to Zhu Di, they are nothing more than that.

  So... well, I don't like it.

  Zhang Anshi understood the meaning in Zhu Di's eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, this statement is wrong. I believe that the real elite soldiers lie in discipline. With discipline, they can use their arms like fingers."

Zhu Di smiled and said: "It's not easy to be like this. You guys... If you really want to learn the way of generals in the future, when I send troops to Mobei, I will let you be my personal soldiers. I will teach you to see with your own eyes what a real elite soldier is like, after a few years of study, and then let you lead the army alone, you will be able to be like Zhang Fu and be able to be alone."

  Zhang Anshi did not get a high evaluation, which made Zhang Anshi a little speechless, but he didn't say much.

  After reading everything he wanted to see, Zhu Di said, "It's time for me to drive back to the palace. Regarding the library, I will explain to Xie Jin and Yao Guangxiao, and you can have someone transcribe it."

   After finishing speaking, without further delay, I will fight back with Xu Huizu.

   On the way back, Zhu Di was thoughtful, and Xu Huizu also had his own thoughts.

   "Xu Qing, are you thinking about Jingyi again?"

  Xu Huizu said: "No, I'm thinking... Zhang Anshi is really eclectic, he is a genius."

  Zhu Di laughed and said, "I'm not thinking about your son-in-law!"

  Xu Huizu only smiled and didn't speak.

  He knew very well that if he took over at this time, Zhu Di would pick him up.

  The partner who grew up together, he knows Zhu Di's temperament too well.

  Zhu Di was quite annoyed when he saw that Xu Huizu didn't take the bait.

   On the road, I saw dozens of horsemen whizzing by, and a stall along the way was knocked into the air by the man on horseback, and the old woman who was guarding the melon stall immediately howled.

   But the dozens of knights on the horse laughed, and the Pegasus sped away.

  Seeing this, Zhu Di was furious, and pointed his horsewhip at the distant knight: "Who are these people? I don't know... Come forward."

  Yi Shi quickly stepped forward, dismounted from Zhu Di's horse and said, "Your Majesty, these are Tiance Guards..."

  Zhu Di sneered and said: "The imperial guards should be in the camp, why are they haunting and disturbing the people?"

  Yi Shiha said: "Your Majesty, Tian Cewei has been dispatched to the Hanwang Mansion and is under the control of the Hanwang. As for why this is so, I need to inquire about it."

  When Zhu Di heard this, he became even angrier.

Xu Huizu was not surprised at all. He knew his nephew very well. When he was only a prince, this nephew dared to steal his uncle's horse. It was also heard that when returning from Nanjing to Beiping, this Zhu Gaoxu killed him on the way. Many officials and people died, and there was a postman in Zhuozhou who was directly killed by him just because he displeased him.

  At that time, Zhu Gaoxu was just the prince of King Yan. Now that his father has become the emperor of Ming Dynasty, it is even more conceivable that he is domineering.

  Xu Huizu looked serious and said: "Pampering my son will only make my son more arrogant and domineering to the point of being out of control."

  Zhu Di heard the implication, but he showed pain, and wanted to scold him, but found that even if he wanted to scold him, he might be the one who should be scolded in the end.

  So he said bitterly: "Take some silver and give it to the old woman."

  Yi Shiha listened and went in a hurry.

  After this incident, Zhu Di was depressed for the rest of the journey.

He said painfully to Xu Huizu: "I have three sons, the eldest son is still stable, but I am worried that he is not in good health. The second son is domineering, but after all he has made great contributions to Jingnan, I really can't bear it. The youngest son Zhu Gaosui is now dead. As far as Fan is concerned, it's clear that you can't see it. But this kid... is not a good bird, he is full of bad water. But no matter what, they are my sons."

After finishing speaking, there was a wry smile on his face, and he said again: "Of course I know what you said is reasonable, and I have repeatedly wanted to strictly order the King of Han to surrender, dismiss his guards, and beat him hard, but when things came to an end, I was so worried. I can't bear it. You know me, I am a person...Although I can kill people like hemp, but the relationship between blood and humanity...I am always hesitant, quite like a woman."

  Xu Huizu sighed and said: "I hope the King of Han can understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts."

  The emotions of the two of them are not high, and there is nothing to say in the next journey.

  At this time, Li Wensheng entered the library.

  He came alone.

  Different from other scholars, his family background is average, so he rarely hangs out with other scholars.

  For him, being selected as a scholar is already smoke from his ancestral grave, and he has great luck.

   It's just that this time I went to Beijing to participate in the provincial examination in Nanzhili, and the list has been released, and Sun Shan lost his name.

  Li Wensheng is undoubtedly in pain. He knows that his imperial examination may be hopeless, but this scholar...compared with other scholars with great careers, he seems out of place.

  He planned to stay in Nanjing for a few more days before going back to his hometown. Then he managed the few acres of Susukida at home, but if it didn't work out, he would find other ways out.

When he came to this library, he also heard that there is a collection of books in the world. There are countless books, which are inexhaustible. He rushed over excitedly, and couldn't help but be speechless when he saw that the inside was overcrowded.

  Almost all the small buildings were full of people, but he was alone, as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden, looking a little timid.

   At this moment, he suddenly stopped and saw a small building, empty, only a few people were studying there.

   Li Wensheng was taken aback, looking at the other small buildings that had already been occupied by black people, he walked towards the relatively empty small building.

   There are more than a dozen bookshelves arranged in an orderly manner here, and all of them are full of books.

   There are medicine, yin and yang, alchemy, astronomy, topography, skills and so on.

   And all of them are marked.

  Among the few scholars who came in, there are more people who read medicine and yin and yang.

   But Li Wensheng's eyes were fixed on a row of bookshelves.

  Among this row of bookshelves are about medicine, mostly prescriptions.

  Li Wensheng took a quick look at it, and finally took out a book out of curiosity.

  The name of this book is interesting, it is called: "Plague Prevention and Treatment".

   Li Wensheng was at a loss.

   Plague?

   Isn't this a disaster caused by the God of Plague? Can this also be prevented?

  He remembered... his great-grandfather died in a plague, so he took this book subconsciously.

   Look at the inscription at the bottom of the book, written by Zhang Anshi.

  Zhang Anshi...

   sounds familiar...

   Because Li Wensheng's family is usually poor, he came to Beijing to take the exam this time, but he was alone. He has no family education, it all depends on hard work, but hard work can make him a scholar, and when he comes to Juren... it can't be solved by hard work.

   Therefore, he only vaguely heard the name of Zhang Anshi, but he didn't know who Zhang Anshi was.

  With curiosity, he opened the book, only to find that the writing style in it was different from other medical books. It actually talked about the principles of plague and various preventions.

  Li Wensheng just found it very novel, so he watched it attentively.

  Time passed quickly, and when he raised his eyes from the book, he realized... he had been reading for more than an hour.

   This made him feel a little regretful. He originally wanted to find some annotations of the Four Books and Five Classics, but who would have thought that time would be wasted on such useless books.

  He shook his head with a wry smile, and put the book back where it was.

   Then he walked out of the small building.

  But just a few scholars passed him by. They seemed to see Li Wensheng coming out of the small building of miscellaneous learning, and someone whispered: "I don't know what to do, heresy...haha..."

  Another person said: "Reading this idle book, I am willing to degenerate. It is important for us to learn more about the righteous way of sages. If not, how will we be named on the gold list in the future, govern the country and the world, and save the common people from suffering?"

   A few people, you say a word, and I say a word.

  These words were very soft, but they were still heard by Li Wensheng.

   Li Wensheng suddenly felt that his ears were red to the base of his ears, and he felt ashamed.

  Li Wensheng, Li Wensheng, you are ashamed to be a scholar, but you are wasting your time here with such a good opportunity, no wonder you can't go to high school. From then on, I am afraid that I will never win the exam, so I will return to my hometown to work in agriculture in this life.

When he thought of this, he felt even more inferior. Thinking of his poor family, his parents had to sell a few acres of land in order to allow him to study. Scholars are far behind.

  Now I am still immersed in miscellaneous books, I really feel ashamed of my parents.

  He looked flustered and lonely, and left in a hurry.

  In this big camp, there is only one person who is allowed not to participate in the drill.

   That is Qiusong.

   After countless explosions and rich experience, Qiu Song and several craftsmen finally researched a...grenade according to Zhang Anshi's request.

  Yes... One can be held in the hand and thrown, the power is not small, about the size of a palm, and it weighs four catties.

   Most importantly, easy to detonate!

   This made Qiu Song elated all of a sudden, even when he shook his nose, he shook it sideways.

   After seeing it, Zhang Anshi felt that the effect was good, and immediately asked the craftsmen to produce and supply with all their strength.

  In this era, there is no large-scale mass production. It is completely relying on craftsmen to rub it out. Sometimes Zhang Anshi feels a little unreliable. These guys... If they rub it wrong, wouldn't they kill people?

   Fortunately, there is Qiusong.

  Qiu Song is a serious person. He knows gunpowder like the back of his hand. At this moment, he is like a supervisor. If the firearm is not up to standard, he will be furious.

   A craftsman was stuffed into a jar full of gunpowder because he cut corners and almost exploded to the sky. Fortunately, he was stopped in time, so there was no tragic scene of being smashed to pieces.

   Counting the days, I have practiced for more than two months, and now I finally have some appearance. The Chinese army that conquered Annan has already set off. If there is no accident, the model battalion should also withdraw and follow the Chinese army all the way south.

  Thinking that his brothers were about to part with him, Zhang Anshi couldn't help but feel sad.

  But when the brothers go out to fight, they go out by themselves. The tiger head flag is always in the camp. Seeing the flag is like seeing a person. Thinking of this, Zhang Anshi feels a little relieved.

   With this flag, it is as if Zhang Anshi came in person.

  "Uncle, uncle..."

  Zhu Jin came panting.

  Zhang Anshi was lying on a deck chair under a sun umbrella, watching everyone practice.

  Zhang Anshidao: "Bold, you are the only one who can enter the camp here? Come in again for me, let someone tell you, and then come in after I agree."

  Zhu Jin was out of breath, sweating profusely and said: "Something happened, something happened. A few Tiance guards stepped on the seedlings in our Qixia field. Some farmers went to argue with them, and they beat him up."

  Zhang Anshi: "The King of Han? Why, this King of Han still wants to take revenge on me?"

  Zhang Anshi regained his spirits all of a sudden.

  Zhu Jin said: "This should not be revenge from His Highness the King of Han."

  Zhang An Shidao: "How do you know, are you his undercover agent?"

  Zhu Jin was taken aback, and quickly explained: "This day Cewei... has been very domineering in the capital since he became the King of Han.

  Zhang Anshi cursed: "Then is there any law for the king?"

   Zhu Jin said: "He is the King of Han, and the father of the King of Han is Your Majesty, so he is Wang Fa."

  Zhang Anshi was furious: "The bullying is too much, I, Zhang Anshi, will never swallow my words."

  At that moment, Zhang Anshi shouted in Zhu Yong's direction: "Second brother, come here."

  As soon as Zhu Yong heard Zhang Anshi's call, he rushed over in armor. His face was tanned black, and he trained soldiers here almost every day, eating and sleeping with them. At this time, he approached Zhang Anshi and looked at his elder brother with admiration.

  Big Brother is Big Brother, and Big Brother uses his brain.

   "Brother, what are your orders?"

   "Go to Tiance Guard's camp, challenge me a bit, and get back my face."

   "Ah...this..."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Don't dare to go?"

   "Just me going?"

  Zhang Anshi said: "There are too many people going, and I hurt all the brothers. I can't bear it. You are the only one who will not suffer."

  Zhu Yong said disgruntledly: "Okay, I'll go."

  He didn't hesitate at the moment, and ran away in a hurry.

   Half an hour later, Zhu Yong came back out of breath again, smiling broadly.

   "How, are you provocative?"

   "Provocation." Zhu Yong said.

  Zhang Anshi said: "And then?"

   "There is no more."

  Zhang Anshi said: "You provoked me, why didn't you continue?"

   "I spit a mouthful of phlegm at their gate, and they dare not fart."

  Zhang Anshi: "..."

   "Big brother, big brother, what do you want to say, just say a word."

  Zhang Anshi sighed and said, "Let the third child provoke you."

  Zhu Yong bounced and said: "Oh, oh, okay, I'll call him."

   Another hour passed, Zhang Fu came back, and Zhang Anshi saw him intact: "You also spit out a mouthful of phlegm?"

  Zhang Fu said fiercely: "I **** on the edge of their camp."

  Zhang Anshi felt tragic.

   It is gratifying that the two brothers have grown up, and they have grown their brains.

  Zhang Anshi said seriously: "It seems that only the fourth child can be dispatched."

   An hour later.

  Boom...

   A roar...

   Then a team of Tiance Guards chased a young boy and wanted to fight.

  The young man was covered with gunpowder, even though the Tiance guards were chasing him, they were too frightened to get too close.

  Finally, Qiu Song rushed into the model camp, and the guards that day came back disgruntled.

  Qiu Song is like a general who has won the victory and returned to the court. He strode forward with a tiger's pace and his belly puffed up in front of Zhang Anshi: "It's blown up. I threw the grenade into the latrine in their camp."

  Zhang Anshi patted Qiu Song's head in relief: "Smart and courageous, Deputy Battalion Officer Qiu, the best battalion officer in this year's battalion, I've made an appointment for you first."

  Qiu Song's eyes sparkled, and he was extremely proud.

   It won't be long...

   Then someone rushed over: "It's not good, it's not good, Tiance Wei... Tian Cewei has been dispatched, and he is rushing here."

   It was Zhang San who spoke. Zhang San was on his way to watch the wind. As soon as he found out about Tian Cewei's movements, he immediately reported it.

  Zhang Anshi took a deep breath and said, "Our people, are you here?"

   Gu Xingzu said: "Master, please come."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Let's go, let's meet first."

   After finishing speaking, go directly to the big tent.

  In the big tent, Yao Guangxiao was looking at the layout of the tent, nodding in satisfaction, and there was another person who came with him, Fang Bin, the right servant of the Ministry of War.

  Yao Guangxiao needless to say, Fang Bin is also Zhu Di's confidant, because Zhu Di attaches great importance to the Ministry of War. After entering the capital, Fang Bin was quickly promoted to the right servant as a mere doctor, which shows Zhu Di's trust in him.

  This Fang Bin was specially invited by Zhang Anshi to inspect the camp. Anyway, you are the right servant of the Ministry of War. It is only natural to inspect the newly formed model camp.

  Although Zhang Anshi didn't go to the Ministry of War before, he suddenly climbed up again, which made the Ministry of War finally feel that he had regained a little face, and the right servant came to order the parade horses himself.

  Fang Bin didn't expect Yao Guangxiao to come, so he hurriedly greeted Yao Guangxiao.

  Yao Guangxiao said with a smile: "Oh? Is the Ministry of War coming to patrol today? It seems that the poor monk didn't pick the right time."

  Fang Bin said conveniently: "I don't know Mr. Yao, you are here..."

   "The old man was invited by Zhang Anshi to drink tea. This kid... is quite interesting."

  He said it was very interesting, but he still didn't say a word. An hour ago, Zhang Anshi asked someone to donate 20,000 taels of sesame oil money to Yao Guangxiao's temple.

  Of course Yao Guangxiao came excitedly to drink tea and chat by the way, besides, he was indeed interested in this young man.

  Fang Bin smiled and said: "That's fine, I'll sit with Yao Gong after finishing my official duties here."

  Yao Guangxiao said with a smile: "Please go ahead."

  At this time, Zhang Anshi came in and said happily: "Mr. Yao, Fang Shilang, oh, I've waited so long, I'm really ashamed..."

  The three of them sat down, and Yao Guangxiao was about to talk about the scene.

  At this time, someone rushed into the camp and said, "It's not good, it's not good, Tiance Guard is calling, saying he wants to level our model camp."

  Zhang Anshi stood up suddenly, and immediately said to Yao Guangxiao and Fang Bin: "Yao Gong, Fang Shilang, you heard it with your own ears, it was Tian Cewei who made the first move."

  Yao Guangxiao: "..."

  Fang Bin seems to have eaten a fly, he only has one thought now... It seems inappropriate to stay here, should the old man run away first as a respect?

  He stood up and turned around in a hurry: "How could such a thing happen, how could such a thing happen... What should I do? It shouldn't be so. The guard shouldn't be so reckless that day."

  Zhang Anshidao: "Ah... yes, yes, Fang Shilang is right, the king of Han should be a person who knows the importance."

  Fang Bin: "..."

  Brother, sister, ask for a monthly pass.
