My Brother-in-law is the Prince Chapter 472

  Chapter 472 Kill without mercy

  Zhu Di's praise is definitely not an exaggeration, but it really comes from the heart.

   Such a big disaster was not only solved easily, but the strength of the relief far exceeded everyone's imagination.

   But the crux of the problem is that whether it is the emperor, the imperial court, or the Taiping Mansion, or even Zhang Anshi himself, there are actually huge profits.

  Throughout the dynasties and dynasties, the situation of making a profit in a catastrophe is bound to cause anger and grievances.

  But Zhang Anshi not only benefited everyone, but also won the hearts of the court.

  Such methods sound terrifying, and no one in the entire Ming Dynasty would have thought of them.

   Even if you think about it, you can't execute it.

At this time, Zhang Anshi smiled, straightened his body, and said humbly: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed to say that my ability is really not in the hall of elegance. I am so ashamed that I dare not be praised by Your Majesty. If you say this Fan has some credit, which is also the result of the concerted efforts of His Royal Highness and the Taiping Mansion."

   Zhang Anshi's words were indeed very modest, and there was not even a hint of pride on his face.

  Over the years, he has come to a conclusion that it is right to be humble anyway.

   As for him asking for credit in front of Zhu Di, telling the various ways of earning money in front of the monarchs and ministers, it is not that Zhang Anshi is immature and hopes to express himself in front of everyone.

   It's really the way of the New Deal is too wild. These things need to be taught hand in hand. If you make a fortune in silence, how will others know how powerful the New Deal is?

   Only by selling the benefits here and various relationships one by one, these monarchs and ministers...even if one or two of them are enlightened, it will be of great benefit to the New Deal.

  After Zhu Di heard it, he didn't even think about it, so he couldn't help saying: "Prince...it doesn't count as any credit, he just went to contribute."

   But after finishing speaking, he seemed to feel that these words belittled the prince a bit. After all, he is the crown prince, so he should be given some prestige.

So the conversation changed, and he said again: "Of course, he is my son, and even the heir apparent of the country, but he is willing to help the people himself, which is unprecedented for a prince like this. I am very relieved to have this son. It's just This achievement, as Zhang Qing said, is the result of the utmost efforts of the entire Taiping Mansion, and now, the common people are fed and clothed, this is the greatest merit, and I am... very happy."

  Baiguan's heart is still in shock, they are slowly digesting Zhang Anshi's various ways, in addition to being shocked, I am afraid that they are also a little bit ashamed.

   It is said that Zhang Anshi is a foreign relative, and most of the officials are from Jinshi who have read poetry and books, and they are the proud son of heaven.

   But in detail, although this An Shi way is wild, but based on this relief alone, no one has to be convinced.

   Really, facts crush everything!

   Zhu Di suddenly remembered something, and immediately looked at Zhang Anshi with burning eyes, and said: "Can the emperor and grandson go to give relief this time?"

Zhang Anshi naturally knew how much Zhu Di cared about Zhu Zhanji, so he said patiently: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is now in charge of the Railway Department. The government and the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, try it again."

"For this relief, the Railway Department also sent a lot of personnel. On the one hand, they also assisted in the relief. On the other hand, after the survey and planning, they mobilized strong men to build the roadbed. Of course, in order to prevent it from happening, the minister was by the emperor's side , and also deployed a team from the Model Battalion, not only to protect the emperor's grandson, but also to protect the personnel of the Railway Department."

Zhu Di was obviously very satisfied, nodded and said: "Well... so... very good, what I am most worried about is that my descendants will stay in the palace for a long time, regardless of the five grains. Emperor Taizu Gao was a commoner in Huaiyou, and he was able to win the world because he could Experience the suffering of the people, know the depth of danger in the world, and my descendants should do the same."

"If not, it will be like the descendants of the Mongol Yuan. Temujin's generation was skilled in bows and horses. How brave they were, they flogged the world with hundreds of thousands of cavalry, and no one dared to do so. Depressed, hearing the enemy is frightening, seeing the enemy is like panic like a bereaved dog."

Zhu Di paused, sighed, and then said again: "It's a pity, the reasoning is such a reasoning, but all those ministers and slaves around the prince and the emperor's grandson all the time, who didn't only know how to coax the prince and the emperor's grandson, Who dares to teach the crown prince and the emperor's grandson to practice? Everyone is willing to work **** their behalf, showing that they are utterly loyal, but in fact, they are harming them. Only Zhang Qing dares to do so."

   After saying this, many people in Baiguan couldn't help but secretly rolled their eyes.

  Who doesn't know the truth? But ordinary people, who would dare to let the prince and the emperor's grandson do that?

   But Zhang Anshi's identity is different.

   Zhang An Shi's doing this is His Majesty's family business, no matter what, the crown prince and the emperor's grandson will not be offended.

   What if you let someone else try it? I'm afraid that before I do it, people will mistakenly think that this is an evil intention and cut off my head.

  Who doesn't know the so-called sophist's suspicion of neighbors?

Zhu Di then took a few steps, his heart was excited, and then he remembered something, looked at Zhou Juren and others, stared fiercely at Zhou Juren from the side of the tiger's eye, and said: "Just wait for the disaster year to hoard goods Since it is greedy to this point, but now it is plotted by Zhang Qing, if you are willing to gamble and admit defeat, I will respect you a little bit. Now that you can't steal a chicken, you dare to gather a crowd to Beijing to complain, plant and frame, can you be convicted?"

  Everyone in Zhou Ju was like a bolt from the blue, and everyone was terrified.

  Actually, they already understood that for this sake, they were completely finished.

  The reason why they are finished is not because their reasoning is untenable.

   People like Zhou Juren are all good people, and when it comes to reasoning, they have read books all their lives, but they have plenty of reasons to argue for themselves.

   To put it bluntly, if you really want to judge crimes, Zhou Ju everyone and everyone are really not afraid of Zhang Anshi.

  But they understand that the so-called truth and the so-called verbal debate now have no meaning.

This piece of Anshi helped the people, made the palace a lot of money, and taught the court to win the hearts of the people, not to mention that there will be a steady stream of income in the future, and it may even... get their land and the manpower of the victims, and build the roadbed of the railway .

   This is basically the result that only people like Zhou Juren were injured, and everyone in the world benefited greatly.

   To put it bluntly, don't say that Zhang Anshi is justified, even if Zhang Anshi's evidence of the crime is convincing, he did such immoral things as digging up people's ancestral graves. In front of the emperor, Zhang Anshi must be defended.

  Because these huge benefits are based on the fact that Zhang Anshi hit Zhou Juren and others.

  If people like Zhou Juren are defended at this time, then...how about the railway? How is the tax return calculated?

   It seems that some people are trying to refute one or two, and want to exonerate themselves.

  But Zhou Juren, already had a miserable face, with a look of sadness, and hurriedly kowtowed like garlic: "Grass people... ten thousand deaths, ten thousand deaths..."

   This is not a matter of reason, this is standing directly on the opposite side of the world, standing on the opposite side of the emperor, and competing with the emperor for the interests of millions of taels of silver!

  However, in this world, the emperor says you are right, then you are right, and if you say that you are guilty, you will be punished with ten thousand deaths. If you want to kill your whole family, you will not stay.

  Zhu Di was furious at this time, but he thought of something, looked at Zhang Anshi with slightly opened eyes, and said: "Zhang Qing... these people... are the thieves I wanted you to catch back then, right?"

  Zhang Anshi calmly said: "Your Majesty, it is..."

He continued slowly: "Your Majesty ordered me to catch the thieves. At that time, I thought that if one by one is thoroughly investigated, the disasters in these four provinces are so serious and there are so many thieves involved. If Jin Yiwei is caught up in a big way, it will definitely affect the victims. At the same time, it may also cause these thieves to resist stubbornly after hearing the news. After all, they are local snakes with deep roots in various prefectures and counties in the world. turbulence, and may return without success.”

   "Even, good people may be wronged, so that some cunning villains can escape the law."

"Therefore, the minister made two preparations, selling grain at a high price while giving relief. The advantage of this is that only these thieves are hoarding goods, so they care about the price of grain and have to try their best to buy grain and maintain food. Only by keeping the price can they maintain their interests and cause them to suffer huge losses. Whoever loses more, who hoards more grain, this approach is clear at a glance, and it is absolutely impossible to wrong others."

   "The second thing..." At this point, Zhang Anshi evoked a meaningful smile, and said: "The second is to ask Hu Gong for a small favor."

   "Hu Guang?" Zhu Di asked rhetorically.

  As soon as Hu Guang was mentioned, Zhu Di became a little angry.

  He didn't expect this guy to be so useless.

  Teaching him to give relief is in vain, and he has caused so many troubles. This person doesn't have any ability to stand alone.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Anshi actually said: "It was Mr. Hu. I contacted Mr. Hu secretly. Mr. Hu also noticed that something was wrong, but...he wanted to make up for it, but it was too late. So I invited someone to I personally went to have a secret talk with him, and finally came up with a strategy, which is to invite people like Zhou Juren into the urn."

   "Your Majesty, these thieves have suffered heavy losses. I am thinking that these people are in various states and counties. After all, their roots are deep. Once the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, it will inevitably cause big trouble."

  Zhu Di nodded.

  This is the truth. Why did the emperors of all dynasties have to rule the world with the powerful and the gentry?

  Essentially, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, but these families that have been operating in the local area for hundreds of thousands of years are deeply intertwined. Once the court hurts their huge interests, they will definitely find ways to create all kinds of chaos and even cause disasters.

At this time, Zhang Anshi said again: "The so-called blockage is worse than sparseness. Instead of letting them jump over the wall and take risks, it is better to let them all come to the capital. But how to make them come to the capital? If there is no chance of winning, they will never dare to come. Therefore, Mr. Hu He has great prestige, pretending to be willing to be the master for them, secretly contacting and advising them, as long as he comes to Beijing, the princes in the court will definitely sympathize with them and give them justice , In this way, it has given them a great hope, and this is why they went to Beijing to complain."

  Zhu Di: "..."

  Zhu Di's old face was twitching. When he heard this, he already understood what was going on.

Zhu Di is already considered an old fox, but his old face twitched several times, and finally, he couldn't hold back any longer. Zhou Ju, who was panicking with his fingers, waited for everyone: "What Zhang Qing said is...one who comes to the capital is counted as one. The thief must be right?"

   Zhou Juren murmured subconsciously: "No, it's not..."

   He shivered.

  Who would have thought...all of this...was a hoax.

What law does not blame the public, what do you rest assured, put it on the old man, the old man is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the lords of the court have long been dissatisfied with Zhang Anshi's behavior. As long as he enters the capital, he will tell his majesty his interests, and his majesty must show Tears beheaded Ma Su.

  This...is all a lie...

   All of this was actually a trick played by Hu Guang and Zhang Anshi working together.

  Knowing this truth is really more shocking than knowing that I was murdered by Zhang Anshi.

  Suddenly, some people feel that the amount of information they have received is too large, so that the whole person cannot bear it. At the moment, this week, there is a person behind him, his eyes go dark, and he just clicks, and the person falls to the ground.

  Zhang Anshi only glanced at it, and then continued to say to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty is truly wise, that's right, anyone who comes to the capital is a hoarder, and no one will be wronged!"

"Your Majesty... here is a report from Mr. Hu. I hope you will forward it to Your Majesty. Your Majesty will know it at a glance. Here are all the evil deeds of these people in the prefecture and county that Mr. Hu secretly collected. The many crimes counted down can be said to be penetrating."

   As he spoke, Zhang Anshi took out a memorial from his sleeve.

  Yi Shiha quickly sent this memorial to Zhu Di.

  Zhu Di opened it, and there were tens of thousands of words in small print inside, which shows how much thought Hu Guang has spent in these days.

  Zhu Di only lowered his head, looking at the shocking words.

  'Forcing people into prostitution', 'Annexing fertile fields with the food of a bucket'...

Seeing this, Zhu Di narrowed his eyes, and there was a sudden murderous intent in his eyes, and his thick eyebrows sank, before he said: "I never thought that Zhang Qing would be able to help people this time, and also beg for thieves." It's just a trick, but it has done so many things for the court.”

  Hundreds of officials were a little bit overwhelmed. To be honest, when Zhou Juren and others came to Beijing, there were still people who sympathized with Zhou Juren and others, and shared the same hatred.

  But now... for this sake, even Hu Guang jumped out to report and expose. If he still speaks well of people like Zhou Juren at this time, it is basically tantamount to courting death.

  Even if he is his own son, he dare not say a word of no.

The expression on Zhu Di's face became more and more icy, as he looked at it, he said: "Okay, at first I thought it was just these people who were greedy, but I never thought that they are so bold that they really do everything they can. Evil gentleman, how can I tolerate it?"

   After finishing speaking, Zhu Di raised his eyes and stared at Zhou Juren and others, his eyes were like a sharp sword, as if they would be executed on the spot at any time.

  Zhou Juren gasped, his face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the grassroots are wronged, wronged..."

   After finishing speaking, everyone kowtowed in unison, begging for mercy.

  Zhu Di sneered and said: "Really? Who wronged you? Is it Zhang Qing's family, or Hu Qing's family? Or... Could it be me?"

  Zhu Di said this without haste, but it made Zhou Juren feel like a light was on his back, and his whole body was chilly.

His teeth kept shivering, and he worked hard for a long time before he burst into tears and said: "Caomin... Caomin... people, they have been entrapped to the point of bankruptcy. What's more, most of the Caomin usually do not fight with others, do good deeds and accumulate virtue, but this time ...I just stocked up on some food, Your Majesty...Your Majesty..."

   All the officials involuntarily widened their eyes, looking at Zhou Juren and others like they were fools.

  To be honest, it's really rare to see someone throwing himself into the trap when he gets on the pole and comes to the capital.

After hearing Zhou Juren's words, Zhu Di became even more angry, and said angrily: "In the year of famine, hoarding food, isn't it enough to sway people's hearts? Then the death of Meng Yuan is not because of these people who took advantage of the famine to make profits. Embezzling people's fields, leaving people without a place to stand and dead without a place to die?"

"If it weren't for the traitors of the people like you, how could Emperor Taizu Gao be forced to join the army and rebel against the Yuan? How could the Mongolian Yuan collapse so suddenly that I won the world? How can the Tartars tolerate it? Let me down, if I let you down, wouldn't I just sit back and watch Daming kill himself?"

After speaking, Zhu Di stood up, obviously very angry, and said angrily: "Now you are asking for mercy? Then I would like to ask, you say... In my heart, is it important for the country of Ming Dynasty, or you thieves? Is your dog's life important?"

   Having said this, there is actually no need to continue.

  Your Majesty no longer has to guess.

  Zhou Juren felt as if he had been struck by lightning, so he shouted in horror: "I would rather hand over my wealth than sue for injustice."

Zhu Di only sneered contemptuously on his face, and then said: "It's ridiculous! Is your wealth still yours? You are already bankrupt, what else can you hand over? If you forgive me today, how will future generations use it?" For a warning?"

   These four words of warning made Zhou Juren gasp.

  Many times, the emperor killed people with intentions, for example...to set an example for future generations.

  Since the emperor believed that the actions of people like Zhou Juren would destroy the world, if people like Zhou Juren can still live well and only receive some minor punishments, then this is the emperor being rude to his country.

  How could Zhou Juren not understand the meaning of Zhu Di's words? Just because he knew it, he trembled all over.

  After working hard for a long time, he still wanted to make the last struggle. He said in a jiffy: "If your majesty punishes us today, he will be separated from his morality. People in the four provinces will lose their hearts and chaos will come!"

   This is his last hole card.
