My Brother-in-law is the Prince Chapter 402

  King King...

  Zhang Anshi was somewhat confused by this unexpected news.

  However, several brothers are here, all of them are here to celebrate.

  Zhu Yong said proudly: "Brother becomes the king, and our faces will be bright in the future. If anyone provokes us, I will say...Brother is the first king with a different surname in Ming Dynasty."

  Zhang happily said: "Hit anyone who doesn't like it. That kid Xu Jingchang inherited the Duke, so it's nothing special. Beat him as usual!"

  Qiu Song said expressionlessly: "Is it true that if you are crowned king, you will be fine if you blow up people?"

Zhang Anshi's face turned pale when he heard it. He hasn't written off the horoscope yet, and it's just the performance of the King of Shu and Liu Guan. Although this may obviously be the order of the palace, he can't open the champagne halfway. As we all know, Opening champagne halfway usually kills faster, okay!

  Zhang Anshidao: "Good brother, you can't report the name of the big brother for doing bad things. Don't forget that if you come forward, the big brother will use his brains later."

  Zhu Yong enthusiastically said: "A man should be like this, a man should be like a big brother, he will die as a ghost, and be born as a king with a different surname."

   Several people are still excited.

Seeing them talking to themselves, Zhang Anshi was terrified. This is not in line with his personality as a big brother. If their thinking continues to slide, maybe there will no longer be the name of the three evils in the world. 's name.

  Zhang Anshi sighed.

  The sigh had an effect.

  So Zhu Yong said: "Brother, why are you being humble again?"

  Zhang Anshi said quietly: "It's not modesty, it's melancholy. Brother suspects that someone wants to harm me."

  Zhu Yong stared: "Who dares!"

   "Don't keep bluffing. In this world, not everything is solved with fists. Think about it, why someone asked me to be the king with a different surname. Is there a king with a different surname in Ming Dynasty?"

  The three of them were silent for a while.

Zhang Anshi said: "That's right. After being a prince, my elder brother will be stared at by thousands of eyes. Whatever I do, I will inevitably be scolded by others. How can I be a prince? This is clearly the case." Grandson."

  Zhu Yong and the three looked at each other.

Zhang Anshi looked disappointed and said: "Brother originally thought, we brothers, we usually teach some brothers to do things, and I, as the eldest brother, always plan the schemes behind, it is inevitable that people will think that the elder brother is not loyal. Brothers, how can I not stand up for you? So I toss and turn every day, always feel sorry for my brother, thinking that in the future, if something happens, the eldest brother must go first, so I teach Bo Yuntian and call him a dignified man."

"But who knows, as long as I don't die, someone wants to push my elder brother to the limelight, and teach my elder brother to be the attention of thousands of people, a position that everyone hates. Hey... This is how the elder brother will stand up for his brother in the future. Don't you want to teach elder brother to be that kind of villain who only wants to gain fame but only wants to be a good person, and teach his brothers to be bad people?”

   Speaking of this, Zhang Anshi sighed a long time, and said again: "Brother lives in such a despicable way, thinking about it makes him feel unhappy. He has no faith and righteousness, and lives in idyllic ways. It would be better to die."

   Zhang Anshi paused when he said this.

  However, the script did not go in the direction of Zhang Anshi, and the three of them stared at Zhang Anshi dumbfounded, without saying a word.

   Zhang Anshi couldn't understand their thoughts for a while, coughed and said: "You guys talk."

  Zhu Yong scratched his head and said: "What the elder brother said seems a bit awkward and difficult to understand. I will think about it first."

At this time, Zhang said: "Brother... We know your difficulties, you don't have to worry about it. We brothers are not different from each other. Whoever is in the early years is the same. Big brother is more capable and smarter than us. Naturally, we need to worry more. We feel sorry for you." Eldest brother is too late, so why does elder brother say something about living in idyllic ways, with no faith and no righteousness?"

  Zhang Anshi rejoiced and said: "If the youngest thinks this way, the eldest brother can rest assured. The eldest brother is useless... woo woo woo..."

  Zhu Yong reacted: "The third brother is right, I think so too."

  Only Qiu Song remained silent, as if there were no waves in the ancient well.

  Anyway, Zhang Anshi doesn't care about Qiu Song's thoughts anymore. This guy has a little brain problem. If he thinks about him all day long, Zhang Anshi suspects that he will become mentally disturbed.

So Zhang Anshi said: "In a word, no matter what... we will treat each other with sincerity. If the elder brother eats meat, he will have your soup. That's right, you came at a good time. There is just one thing here that I want to ask you to do. This matter... elder brother thinks After much deliberation, it is most appropriate for you to do it.”

  The three of them began to look at each other again.

   Zhu Yong felt dizzy.

  What did you come here for?

  But at this time, he responded happily: "Brother just orders."

  The three brothers left in a hurry, and Qiu Song was the happiest. Qiu Song seemed very proud, because what Zhang Anshi told him made him instinctively excited.

  The next person, who was much more normal, was Yang Pu.

  Yang Pu smiled and bowed to Zhang Anshi first.

   "Meet the governor."

  Zhang Anshi said casually: "Mr. Yang, you are welcome to sit down and talk."

  Yang Pu leaned over and sat down: "Have you heard of the recent memorials?"

   "You mean His Highness the King of Shu?"

   "Exactly."

  Zhang Anshidao: "What virtue and ability do I have? How dare I be named a king with a different surname? His Royal Highness Shu Wang has good intentions, but he wants to roast me on the fire."

   "The governor is unwilling to accept?"

  Zhang Anshi's face twitched, and he would be damned if he didn't accept it. Although in all dynasties, those who accept such favors will definitely end well.

   But Zhang An Shishu in the Ming Dynasty, as long as it was not in the period of Emperor Taizu Gao, if the Zhu family dared to seal it, what would they dare not accept?

   What's more, this is canonized by His Majesty, and the future successor will be either his brother-in-law or his nephew. Why, the Zhu family's son-in-law, not the Zhu family's nephew, dare to bully his uncle?

  After a few generations, everyone has accepted this fact, and no one will question it. Instead, they think it is a matter of course.

Seeing Yang Pu looking at him with burning eyes, Zhang Anshi looked a little embarrassed, and said, "This... this... I, Zhang, have no virtue, how dare I accept this kindness? But if the clan and ministers I strongly advocate this, but Your Majesty has far-sighted considerations and thinks that this move will benefit the world. Although I am sincere and apprehensive, I can only think of Your Majesty and the common people, so I have no choice but to resign myself to it."

  Yang Pu continued to smile.

  Zhang Anshi was very uncomfortable, and said: "Mr. Yang is here, I'm afraid it's not just for this?"

  Yang Pu was in a daze at this time, not knowing what he was thinking.

  So Zhang Anshi said: "Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang..."

  Yang Pu came back to his senses.

  Zhang Anshi couldn't help but said: "What is Mr. Yang thinking?"

   "The lower officials dare not say anything."

   "We are our own family, so it doesn't matter if we say it." Zhang Anshi encouraged: "I am a person who doesn't understand the world, and I still need Mr. Yang's guidance."

Yang Pu is a very cautious person, so he calmed down at this time, but said: "The officials are thinking, the words and deeds of the governor just now are the same as the empress and concubine, and it is true that the princess and Zhang Dudu are sisters and brothers, and they both have a relationship. A man of great wisdom."

  Zhang Anshi immediately raised his eyebrows: "Are you here to amuse me?"

Yang Pu said sincerely: "The wealth, life, and future honor and disgrace of this official are all closely related to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Dudu Zhang. How dare you entertain them? I dare not say these words, but Dudu Zhang insists on asking. I just dared to say it."

  Zhang Anshi was speechless for a moment, sat down, and then said again: "That's right, close the door, whatever you say, our own family. What do you mean by my sister...?"

   "This throne, in the final analysis, is what the empress begged for you."

Zhang Anshi scratched his head, in fact, he also felt something faintly, and said with a smile: "Sister is too troublesome, I could have waited for her to become a queen, and forced my brother-in-law to make me a king, but I have to make such a mess. "

Yang Pu said with a smile: "The governor is on the way. The princess concubine has worked so hard for the governor! Only His Majesty can give the governor the title of king. If the future is really His Royal Highness or the emperor's grandson, this road will be blocked. died."

   Fortunately, there were no other people at this time. What Yang Pu said was very bold.

  However, this also shows that the relationship between Zhang Anshi and Yang Pu has reached an extraordinary level.

   After all, the two are now in a relationship of sharing weal and woe, and there is no restricted area for private conversations.

  Zhang Anshi obviously didn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a while, and he became puzzled, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "Why is this?"

Yang Pu smiled and said: "Is there any reason in the world for an emperor to confer kingship on his in-laws? The status of the governor is his in-laws. When His Majesty is here, this role is not obvious, and he can still be canonized by merit. But once When the crown prince ascends the throne, if His Highness the Crown Prince canonize him, he will become a king for his brother-in-law. If he does this, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing, and the Crown Princess will not be happy, because if this is the case, if there is me in future generations, I will be the king. Dote on the concubine and give his brother the title of king? Once this opening is opened, what should I do?"

After a pause, he continued: "Furthermore, His Majesty is the hero today, so naturally he dares to do what he wants. Who dares not to follow his mind? But if it is His Royal Highness, if you want to do this, it will not be so easy. .”

  As soon as Zhang Anshi heard it, he also pondered some meanings, so he said: "So, sister is trying to find a way out for me?"

Yang Pu smiled and said: "Captain, the one who loves you the most in the world, this princess concubine must be one of them. The princess concubine will be the mother of the world in the future, and her own son will also be the lord of the country. There is no need for her to do these things." Worrying. If she doesn't worry about the governor, who else can she worry about?"

  Zhang Anshi sighed, and he agreed with Yang Pu's words in his heart, so he was also moved.

  Yang Pu continued: "Of course, there is certainly the mother's painstaking efforts in this, but in fact, the one who really decides this matter is Your Majesty. If Your Majesty does not have this intention, there will never be a memorial from the King of Shu and Liu Butang."

  Zhang Anshi nodded and said: "Then what do you think His Majesty means?"

   "Yes, here is the most important point. Most of the princes of Ming Dynasty are vassal kings, and the vassal kings are about to become vassals, so the lower officials dare to speculate that this king is definitely not the vassal king of the clan."

  At this time, Zhang Anshi, like an obedient student, listened carefully, and said: "Go on, I love to listen."

  So Yang Pu said again: "So the key to the problem is, what kind of law is this king. This is something that I have never done in Ming Dynasty, and it will inevitably cause controversy."

  Zhang Anshi nodded: "I don't want to go to Fan now, it's better to stay in the capital."

  Yang Pu smiled and said: "It depends on His Majesty, and the meaning of the officials."

  Zhang An Shidao: "Then what do you think will be the final canonization method?"

Yang Pu thought about it seriously, and then said: "This...it's really hard to say. Your Majesty's actions have always been very unexpected. You need to wait a little longer, and now the ministers are afraid that there are still disputes. Your Majesty is also observing the situation in the court. move."

  Zhang Anshi couldn't help sighing: "This matter... If there is any progress, you can come to me and give me some suggestions to see what to do next."

  Yang Pu smiled and said, "This is actually what I mean when I come here."

   "Ah..." Zhang Anshi was stunned.

Yang Pu said: "It is His Royal Highness who is worried that the governor will be unable to grasp it at this time, or that he will get carried away, or that his words and deeds will cause some controversy. Instead, the governor will become a target of public criticism, so he specially asked the lower officials to come here and look at the governor. This matter ...Let your majesty go to plan, and the most appropriate way for the governor to do now is to wait patiently."

  Zhang Anshi couldn't help showing a wry smile, pointing at Yang Pu and saying, "So it was brother-in-law's intention..."

  Yang Pu smiled and said: "This is for the good of the governor."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Don't worry, I promise to be obedient these few days."

  He next, muttered in a low voice: "My brother will do the bad things."

   Just these words, I don't know if Yang Pu heard it.

  In Wenyuan Pavilion.

  A small closed-door meeting has lasted for an hour.

  Yang Rong, Hu Guang, Jin Youzi, and various ministers gathered here, and there are different opinions.

   Everyone's attitudes are different, but Yang Rong doesn't have much opinion on this.

  But Hu Guang was very excited. This time he was not targeting Zhang Anshi, but the ancestral law. If this is the first of its kind, it would be fine. Who knows how many kings with different surnames will come out in the future?

  Jin Youzi's attitude is consistent silence. He has always been taciturn and does not express his views easily.

  Xia Yuanji's attitude is also very firm. He thinks it is inappropriate. Zhang Anshi has made great contributions, and having a duke is enough. It is too inappropriate to be crowned king.

  Jin Chun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, is contrary to Xia Yuanji. Jin Chun believes that... since the clan has no objections, the emperor's family affairs should not be wasted because of this.

Only Jin Zhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, said a lot, but he didn't seem to say anything. When Yang Rong thought it was necessary, he said yes, yes, Xia Yuanji retorted, thinking that this violated the ancestral system. For example, then the rule of non-Zhu Buwang will be destroyed, which is very bad. Jin Zhong also said, reasonable, reasonable, what Duke Xia said is very true.

  Jin Zhong stirred up such a disturbance, and Xiao Hui, who was originally arguing with each other, made people feel that this guy was here to make a joke.

  Hu Guang glanced at Jin Zhong, and said teasingly: "Jin Butang is in favor of being a king, but also disapproves of being a king. He abides by the law of the ancestors, but also sets this example. What is the meaning?"

  He paused, and then said: "Tomorrow is the court meeting, and we will openly discuss it at that time. If we don't come up with a unanimous idea today, when the court meeting comes tomorrow, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

  The court meeting is an open discussion among ministers.

   But in fact, once there are disputes in this kind of big meeting, it is difficult to discuss the results, and it will only cause a lot of trouble.

  So under normal circumstances, before the court meeting, Wenyuan Pavilion, the great scholars of various ministries and the ministries will gather in private for a small meeting.

  If everyone can barely reach an agreement, then when it comes to the court meeting, there will be no debate.

  After all, the people present here are almost all bigwigs from the court. They have made a decision. During court discussions, other ministers often dare not easily put forward opposing opinions.

   But seeing that it was getting dark and the court meeting was imminent, but everyone could not reach an agreement, Hu Guang was naturally anxious.

  Jin Zhong smiled calmly and said: "Everything you say makes sense, so I agree with everything."

  Hu Guang stared at him anxiously and said, "But which side do you agree with more?"

   "Either side is the same." Jin Zhong said.

  Hu Guang was angry: "How can one daughter marry two husbands?"

  The atmosphere became tense again.

Jin Zhongyou said leisurely: "If it is a common people's family, it is a big deal for one woman to marry two husbands, and it involves a big problem with human relations. But... if it is in a temple, one woman marries two husbands, such a strange thing What's the matter?"

  After hearing this, Hu Guang was speechless for a while.

Jin Zhong smiled and said: "Why is this? This is because people have different positions and different ways of thinking. As a minister, we are supported by the soldiers and civilians, received the grace of the emperor, and controlled the power of the world. Words and deeds are closely related to the people of the world. Because of this, the matter of one woman marrying two husbands is only a trivial matter after all, and it is not worth mentioning. If such matters are discussed every day in this temple, then All the princes in this temple have become vegetarian meals for corpses?"

"I have read the memorials of the King of Shu and Liu Butang. This matter is neither big nor small. If you really want to talk about it, you can naturally associate it with the law of the ancestors. It can be said that it is small, but it is not. It's just a family matter of the Tian family. But in today's world, are there fewer things that are bigger than it? Not to mention other things, in Taiping Mansion alone, I heard that many craftsmen and young men were fired by merchants, and now they have no food and clothing. , the people in this family have lost their livelihoods, who will support their parents, who will nurture their children, all these things are the sufferings of the people, and they are the blood and tears of people."

   "But the princes didn't comment on this, but they quarreled over the request of the king of Shu and Liu Gong. Hu Gong...you are too stubborn, I am too lazy to talk to you."

   After Jin Zhong finished speaking, he turned his gaze, looked at Xia Yuanji and said, "But Mr. Xia, you are in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs. At this time, do you still have time to spare?"

  Hu Guang: "..."

  Natsuhara Yoshi: "..."
