My Brother-in-law is the Prince Chapter 405

  Chapter 405 Desperate

  Zhang Anshi finished speaking.

  Chen Li and others were all excited.

   To be honest, these days, they have been aggrieved for too long.

  Especially Jin Yiwei, these days at most they are only responsible for stalking, collecting a lot of information, they have already sharpened their knives.

  Zhang Anshi immediately thought of something, so he said again: "Send someone to inform Zhu Jin, and teach him to prepare well. Besides, there is Taiping Mansion..."

  Zhang Anshi paused, and then said: "This time, we will try to catch everything!"

   "As ordered."

  Chen Li bowed to Zhang Anshi, then hurriedly left and went to work.

  Zhang An Shixian sat down, but he remembered something, so he said to the scribe beside him: "Go and invite Mr. Yang Puyang."

   Soon, Yang Pu came.

  Zhang Anshi retreated from everyone.

  Yang Pucai smiled and said, "Your Highness seems to have murderous intent here."

  Zhang Anshi glanced at him, sighed and said: "I don't like shouting and shouting, because I think there are many ways to solve the problem, but when all the ways fail, then... I have to kill people."

  Yang Pu was silent for a while, and he also sighed, and then said: "Hey, the disputes in the world all come from human desires, and what Master Cheng and Zhu Sheng said about destroying human desires may not be unreasonable."

Zhang Anshi shook his head and said: "Any kind of knowledge has its reasons, such as schools of thought, Neo Confucianism, but it cannot be used as a shield for some people to gain benefits and at the same time consolidate their own interests. There are only so many benefits in the world. Why should someone monopolize it, but also use the so-called knowledge to show yourself, let you eat any meat in this world, you also have a beautiful wife and concubine, and teach you to take it with a bright future, but you still have to pay for it. Let's set up the Chastity Arch, how can there be such a reason in the world?”

  After hearing this, Yang Pu sighed and said, "What Your Highness said is not unreasonable."

Zhang Anshi said again: "It's not a question of whether there is reason or not. In fact, the so-called reason of these people is full of flaws. What are the laws of nature and human desires? Mistakes are frequent. But let me ask Mr. Yang, is Neo Confucianism really more profound and touching than other studies? It has become more and more popular since Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, and my Ming Dynasty, and its influence can be so far-reaching ?”

  Yang Pu is thoughtful, he is a very smart person, not to mention he is also a scholar, a smart scholar does have many questions in the process of studying, but these questions, he can only bury them in his heart.

  Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "In my opinion, the fundamental reason is not that it is more broad and profound, but that it happens that this Neo Confucianism has won their hearts."

"It's like Gongyang Xue. Isn't Gongyang Xue the knowledge of sages? Isn't it also born out of Confucius? But Gongyang Xue wants great revenge and unification. In the Song Dynasty, those scholars just wanted to feel at ease. In the Yuan Dynasty, the so-called enmity of the nine generations can still be avenged, and it is even more out of date, because they want to be obedient citizens of the Mongols. To cooperate with the Mongols, the Mongols slaughtered the world, and killed countless parents, wives and children, do they dare to mention the word revenge?"

"The so-called Neo-Confucianism is nothing more than wanting peace. In the face of national enmity, they choose peace, so they pay attention to introspection, reflect on themselves at all times, and be modest gentlemen. In the face of family hatred, they also choose peace. Only by cooperating with them can they win Because of their detached status, they could pay New Year's Coins in the Song Dynasty and go to Gou for a while. When the Mongols came, they could also choose to cooperate with the Mongols and squeeze the people together.”

"Now that I am in Ming Dynasty, why is it not like this? The so-called preserving the principles of nature and destroying human desires is so ridiculous. They themselves are always dissatisfied with their desires. When they have a hundred acres of land, they want to acquire another thousand acres. When they become Jinshi, they want to They wanted to become Hanlin, and even wanted to join the cabinet to pay homage, but they wanted the people to obey. If they did not obey, the people also had desires, so they denounced them as troublemakers. .”

"The Confucianism in the Han and Tang Dynasties never had too many confinement on women. The reason is that at that time, scholars were pursuing meritorious deeds. They had to go to the desert thousands of miles away, to the Western Regions, to Lingnan, and the family had to be handed over to women. The masters came to take care of it, but now, what is it like? A bunch of useless people, when they encounter national enemies and family hatred, they dare not advocate revenge. He was also afraid that the women would show up in public and encounter robbers like Khitan, Jin, and Mongols, and that the women in the family would be captured and humiliated, so they advocated that the gates should not be opened, and the two gates should not be opened, and the golden lotus feet should be entangled."

Having said this, he paused, seemingly unfinished, and continued: "They have desires for land, but they don't go to the desert, the Western Regions, and the Western Regions to annex other people's land, so they nest in the village and bully their relatives. , when there is a famine, they will add insult to injury, annex the land of their neighbors, and complacently claim that they are some kind of heirloom of farming and education, some kind of family with accumulated goodness and virtue."

"These people are like dogs with broken spines outside, people like mud worms, but when they close the door, they show off their power. If there is something unsatisfactory to them, the imperial court will give them less generous courtesy, and they will blame the sky. Swearing at the ground, citing scriptures, putting on a very strong look, pointing fingers."

  At this time, Zhang Anshi's tone became more serious, and he shouted: "Man is so shameless."

  Looking at the indignation on Zhang Anshi's face, Yang Pu remained silent, his face was slightly red.

  Yang Pu could deeply feel that Zhang Anshi's emotional fluctuations and ups and downs made him speechless for a while.

Zhang Anshi said again: "However, this is also very good. I, Zhang Anshi, don't believe in their so-called benevolence and morality. I only believe in one thing. If they feel that they are not satisfied, they still want to be dissatisfied and refuse to give up profits. Then use your skills and fight like a man to **** it from His Majesty and me, Zhang Anshi, instead of relying on those despicable and shameless so-called dirty tricks and means, nor those so-called seemingly righteous words. Absurd knowledge, if this is the case, even if they fail like this, I, Zhang, will give them a high regard!"

  Yang Pu listened carefully, and finally said: "Your Majesty understands what His Highness means."

  Zhang Anshi looked at Yang Pu indifferently and said, "Is Bachelor Yang worried and hesitant?"

  Yang Pu met Zhang Anshi's gaze, thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry for being an official."

  Zhang Anshi raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Who are you sorry for?"

   "To feel sorry for those who will die next."

  Zhang Anshi smiled, and said: "Maybe I, Zhang Anshi, lose, and the grave will be covered with weeds. People in future generations will cast aside my name when they hear my name."

  Yang Pu looked at him seriously and said: "If this is the case, then if the official is still alive, he will write a sacrificial oration to His Highness, praising that there was once such a person as His Highness in this world."

  Zhang Anshi laughed loudly: "I'm afraid that your mere sacrificial oration will eventually be buried in the pile of old papers and covered up by countless articles that criticize you."

"No matter how much you cover it up, there will be a day when you will see the light of day again." Yang Pu said with firm eyes: "There has never been a knowledge that will not change forever in the world. There will be people like His Highness today. Thousands of years later, there will definitely be many people. There are many people like His Highness, and there will be Zhang Anshi in the end, who will make the world see the sun."

When Zhang Anshi listened, he felt a lot of emotion, and then he curled his lips and said, "Damn it, why did you go so far away from the topic! Mr. Yang, I called you because I hope that you can help me in the past two days." I am staying in this palace for the time being, and I will deal with the reports sent at any time."

  Yang Pu raised his head, his eyes were calm, and he said: "Your Highness is also a scholar, can you really trust me?"

  Zhang Anshi subconsciously said: "You are different, you have mutated."

"Mutations…"

  Zhang Anshi didn't care whether he understood the meaning of the word variation, and continued: "Mr. Yang, I have never rejected learning, and I still admire those who are knowledgeable. It seems that you haven't understood what I just meant."

  Yang Pu smiled and said: "Now I understand, Your Highness will leave this matter to the subordinate officials, and the subordinate officials will definitely fulfill their mission."

  Zhang Anshi breathed a sigh of relief, so he smiled and said, "Then...please."

  Yang Pu said: "Your Highness, please take care too."

"For the sake of cherishing what you said, it seems like you are going to do something dangerous, which makes me feel a little worried." Zhang Anshi smiled: "Don't worry, I have one advantage, that is, I never Put yourself in a dangerous situation, no one knows how to protect yourself better than me."

  Yang Pu also smiled, which he believed.

  Zhang Anshi is obviously a very efficient person. Now that this place has been arranged, he is also duty-bound. With a smile on his face, he shouted to the outside: "Come here."

   After a while, a group of guards came in.

  They brought the armor and began to put it on for Zhang Anshi in a hurry.

   This set of armor is obviously an enhanced version, it is specially made, and it actually made Zhang Anshi look like a big can.

   It can be said that if Zhang Anshi has made great contributions to the progress of Ming Dynasty military research, the greatest contribution lies in the research of armor.

   Then, Zhang Anshi dressed up and led a group of guards out of the hall.

   Outside the hall, there were already more guards standing here holding their knives.

  When Zhang Anshi appeared, everyone followed suit and left directly.

  Yang Pu, who was left behind, stared at Zhang Anshi's back in a daze, sighed, and then smiled wryly.

As an official of the crown prince, Yang Pu belongs to the perspective of the audience who dissociates from this. Although he occasionally participates in some decision-making, he does not get involved much. This time, what is the plan?

   It looked very serious, after all, I have never seen Zhang Anshi wearing such an armor.

   On the other end, a secret performance was quickly sent into the palace.

  Yi Shiha held the memorial and quickly entered the Wenlou.

  Zhu Di, who was sitting here, only glanced at it briefly, but his face was expressionless, and he just said lightly: "I know."

   Immediately, he casually threw the report into the charcoal basin under his feet.

  The report touched the charcoal fire in the upper charcoal basin, and immediately rolled up a bright flame, and then, ashes flew.

  At this time, Zhu Di seemed a little tired, he leaned his body slightly on the back seat, his eyes were half closed, and he said in his mouth: "The emperor's grandson has gone to Qixia, right?"

"Go, I went there early in the morning. It seems to be on business at some China Merchants Bureau. His Royal Highness Wuhu County Prince is quite courageous..." Yi Shiha carefully observed Zhu Di's face, and then said: "I asked His Highness to be a small Your Highness is not happy about this little clerk."

  Zhu Di still calmly said: "Let them go."

  After a pause, he looked up at Yi Shiha, and suddenly said with emotion: "You are old too."

  Yi Shiha said: "Your servant is in good health."

Zhu Di said: "When a person gets old, his body collapses, and it only happens overnight. Don't think that your body is still as strong as when you were young. Look at yourself, you have more white hair than mine. How many."

  Yi Shiha's eyes gradually turned red, and his whole body became sad, and said quietly: "I didn't expect it to be so good. Decades passed in a blink of an eye."

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Yes, decades have passed in a blink of an eye, and the days left for me by God are not many, but I am the Son of Heaven, and there are still many unfinished business in the world, if I can't do it soon It's clean, I'm really sorry."

   As he spoke, Zhu Di sighed faintly.

  Yi Shiha seemed to understand Zhu Di, but said: "Which one of your Majesty's actions will not be beneficial for the future? After thousands of years, it will be praised by the world..."

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "You're wrong. Everything I did with Emperor Taizu Gao was **** and bloody. It's not bad if you don't get scolded by others. How dare you be a holy king? But... After I finish these tasks at hand, my son and grandson will have the opportunity to become a holy king who will last forever, so ah...it's okay for me to bear this infamy."

  Yi Shiha said: "Your Majesty..."

  Yi Shiha wanted to say something.

Zhu Di interrupted him and said: "You are also a person who has seen people's hearts for a long time, don't you understand? I think you understand very well, but you are just pretending to be confused. These days, I feel tired and occasionally recall the past. Now Thinking about it, a hundred years from now, if my sons and grandchildren and the people of later generations were born in a peaceful world, they would not understand, nor would they understand that I am out of the desert, chasing death and north, and it is difficult to achieve success. All kinds of deeds of ruling the world with tyranny."

"How could they know that if you don't fight the Tartars, they won't get along with each other in a friendly way. They also won't understand why Jianwen's so-called 'good governance' will be defeated by me. It's even more unreasonable why I always have to fight If there is more massacre, the blood of the killing must flow into rivers before giving up."

  Speaking, Zhu Di smiled, and said again: "It's not certain, they will think that I am cruel and easy to kill in my bones, and I like to kill people for pleasure."

  Yi Shiha said with red eyes: "Your Majesty...don't say it, don't say it..."

  Zhu Di said: "Then don't talk about it. If you ask someone to tell Zhang Anshi, you don't need to win the order. Just pass on the word of mouth and teach him to do everything cheaply, so that you don't have any worries."

  Yi Shiha then said: "Your maid obeys the order."

  Zhu Di closed his eyes and said: "I'm tired, take a rest."

  Yi Shiha glanced at Zhu Di, then quietly backed away.

  At this time, Zhu Jin got a note.

  Just looking at the note, he understood everything.

  This man with a face full of smiles, every day he would show a smile like that of Maitreya Buddha when he met everyone, but now, his face is hardened, and there is no such pleasant smile anymore, instead, it is a face of indifference.

   "Call all the big banks." Zhu Jin said: "All the treasurers of the banks are here."

   Soon, many shopkeepers, big shopkeepers, and even chief shopkeepers of many banks arrived one after another, and they entered the headquarters of the firm.

   Crowded people, waiting for something.

  Zhu Jin said in a deep voice: "Because of the bank's reserves..."

  With hands behind his back, Zhu Jin paced with a big belly, shuttling among shopkeepers. These shopkeepers were all acquaintances, and many of them were brought up by Zhu Jin himself, so they couldn't be more familiar with them.

  Everyone lowered their hands quietly and listened attentively.

Zhu Jin continued: "In order to prevent the shortage of reserves, the United Bank began to shrink the lending business from top to bottom. All loan approvals are no longer the responsibility of the shopkeeper. Above 10,000 taels of silver, the general treasurer's approval is required. Submit to the old man for approval."

  As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the quiet hall just now.

  These shopkeepers are all proficient in the business of the bank, which is tantamount to directly covering the pockets of the bank! And based on their many years of experience, once this news is released, it will be nothing less than a catastrophe for the vast majority of commercial firms and merchants.

   "Mr. Zhu." Someone couldn't help but stood up worriedly and said, "If that's the case, something big will happen. Many firms...they..."

Zhu Jin pressed his hands and said: "Do you need to talk about the current market situation? Besides, what is the current situation? You are not deaf or blind, and you must have heard of it. This is what His Royal Highness Prince Wuhu has carefully considered. The result is also to prevent the bank from falling into a situation of irreparable doom, well, let's do it like this.”

   I heard that it was the order of the King of Wuhu County. At this moment, everyone was speechless.

   It's just that many people's hearts began to become chaotic.

  Some people are so buzzing that they suddenly feel at a loss for what to do, and some people just feel that their eyelids are constantly beating, and they are no longer controlled by their own body functions.

  After Zhu Jin gave his orders, he asked everyone to retreat.

  He sat upright, and waited for the shopkeepers to leave before saying: "From now on, thank you behind closed doors, and all visitors will not be seen. Tell them that they are not in good health these days, and it is inconvenient to see each other. Of course, you should be more polite."

  A scribe who was waiting by the side nodded and followed suit.

  Zhu Jin just stood up, his expression became more serious.

   After contemplating for a long time, finally, he regained his previous spring-like smile, shook his head, and murmured: "Whatever, just let it go."

  The introduction in the last chapter can't be said to be watery. After all, there are always readers who don't know Yu Qian. Although many readers are familiar with it, after all, we still have to take care of new readers.
