My Brother-in-law is the Prince Chapter 516

  Chapter 516 The Good Show Begins

  Jin Youzi glanced at his brother-in-law.

   did not speak, but sat slowly and took a sip of tea.

  Just then said: "After all, what is it for?"

This person's name is Liu Jin, and Liu Jin said: "Brother-in-law, I think, if His Royal Highness Wuhu County really went to Xinzhou, Qixia is really a good place to talk about. Brother-in-law... Actually, I also want to do some business in Qixia. But...His Royal Highness Wuhu County King is here, so I still feel a little guilty. But if Wuhu County King leaves, I'm afraid it will be easier to deal with."

  Jin Youzi raised his head and glanced at Liu Jin: "What's a good way?"

  Liu Jindao: "Brother-in-law, you are a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion. Without His Royal Highness the King of Wuhu County, this Qixia and this Taiping Mansion are under the jurisdiction of the imperial court..."

  Jin Youzi put down the teacup slowly, showing displeasure, and said, "Okay, don't mention these words, and don't mention them to anyone."

   "Yes, yes, yes." Liu Jin said cautiously: "It's just brother-in-law, will the king of Wuhu County be a vassal..."

  Jin Youzi said: "This...is not good."

   Liu Jindao: "No way, this An Shihui is so bold that he won't even obey the will? He's so daring."

  Jin Youzi breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The king of Wuhu County has made great contributions to the court. You must not talk nonsense about these words, otherwise..."

  Before Jin Youzi finished speaking, Liu Jin hurriedly slapped himself, smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I really deserve to die."

  Jin Youzi thought for a while, but then said: "Thinking... Zhang Anshi may be tempted, he has been entangled in Daming for too long, and he is an extremely human minister, which is not a good thing, not to mention... what a blessing it is to be named King of Song..."

   Liu Jin suddenly smiled.

  Jin Youzi continued: "Besides, His Royal Highness is under a lot of pressure now. I know His Royal Highness's temperament, and he is inevitably a bit indecisive. However, the Crown Princess understands righteousness."

   Liu Jin was taken aback for a moment: "Crown Princess?"

  Jin Youzi raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Jin: "You are the old man's brother-in-law. Do you know that as a female family member, the mistress of a family has a brother, what do you think on weekdays?"

   Liu Jin didn't understand Jin Youzi's deep meaning for a moment, frowned and said, "This...but I don't know..."

Jin Youzi smiled slightly and said: "Woman, I just want to be safe, and I don't want to be rich, not to mention being a prince, getting a piece of feudal land, and being an extremely powerful minister. She wishes her brother would not get involved in the temple. How many such lessons have been learned in the past dynasties. The Crown Princess is a person who understands righteousness. If she will make plans for the Zhang family, I am afraid...it will also affect His Highness the Crown Prince in this regard. I hope...Zhang Anshi will go to the new continent."

  When Liu Jin heard it, he probably understood it, and then said: "It turns out that brother-in-law's real intention is the princess..."

  Jin Youzi narrowed his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and said: "It's up to people to plan things, but it's up to God to make things happen. These are just hypotheses. Who knows if it will happen or not? It's just... I hope it will be like this."

  Liu Jin said again: "If that's the case, then how many people in this world will be grateful to brother-in-law, and after a hundred years of brother-in-law... let alone how many people will build a shrine for you."

  Jin Youzi suddenly opened his eyes slightly, and said angrily, "Nonsense!"

  Liu Jin obviously didn't feel that his brother-in-law was really angry, he laughed and said, "With what my brother-in-law said, I have a solid foundation in my heart, hehe..."

  But Jin Zhaobo said from the side: "Father, if Zhang Anshi is gone, can Hanlin not go overseas?"

  Jin Youzi remained silent, took another sip of tea, and then said slowly, "This is hard to say, things have to be done one by one. Right now, just take the first step, don't think about the future."

   As he spoke, Jin Youzi stood up, waved his hand and said, "The old man is tired, it's time to go to rest, please inform the kitchen, there is no need to prepare dinner."

   After finishing speaking, he hurried to leave when he remembered something and said to Liu Jin, "How many days will you stay at home?"

   Liu Jindao: "No...no need, I'm leaving now, and I have some friends..."

  He was vague and about to leave.

  But at this time, a door came in a hurry.

  The door said: "Master, someone handed me a note."

  Hearing the word Tiaozi, Jin Youzi paused and revived his spirits.

   He took the piece and only looked down.

   Liu Jin said: "Brother-in-law, what happened?"

  Jin Youzi took the note and sighed.

   Liu Jin became even more curious, and said, "Brother-in-law, you really said it."

   "As expected..."

"What?"

  Jin Youzi said: "Qixia's Wuhu County Prince's Mansion has already started to pack up, and it seems that there are plans to cross the sea..."

  After hearing this, Liu Jin couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then grinned ecstatically and said, "Brother-in-law is really clever."

  Jin Youzi said sadly: "This makes the old man feel..."

  He didn't continue speaking, but shook his head and fell silent.

   Liu Jin was already so happy that he didn't pay much attention to Jin Youzi's expression, turned around and hurried out of the Jin mansion.

   Not long after, she appeared in a painting boat in the Qinhuai River.

  The boat was decorated with lights and festoons, silk and bamboo bursts, and everyone was smiling.

  Listening to Liu Jin's words, they couldn't help clapping their hands and laughing.

   "Brother Liu, I will rely on you a lot in the future."

  Liu Jin patted his chest triumphantly and said: "Don't worry. If I eat meat, you will drink soup. I don't even think about it, who is my brother-in-law..."

  Everyone was smiling again.

  Once the king of Wuhu County goes to Xinzhou, there will be too many things to covet in Qixia and even Taiping Mansion.

   "I, the censor... don't want to do it anymore. I would rather go to Taiping Mansion to be a county magistrate."

   Liu Jin smiled and said: "It's easy to say, I will just say hello to my brother-in-law at that time. In my opinion, any county magistrate of Brother Zeng is too condescending, at least he should be the young governor of Taiping Prefecture."

  Why does Zeng Yushi want to be a county magistrate? After all, what kind of future is Qingliu Yushi... This is just a trick of retreating. We just wait for Liu Jin to pat his chest and promise to say this.

   "If that's the case, then... I'll leave it to Brother Liu."

  Everyone laughed again.

   Liu Jin was full of ambition at this time, and he was naturally high-spirited.

  Everyone was even more attentive to him, and occasionally someone said: "The railway... I heard that it is a good deal..."

   Liu Jin was already drunk, but said: "Why, brother Zhou also wants to build?"

  The man laughed loudly and said, "This can't be built, even if a hundred Zhous are tied up, they can't afford this money..."

  Liu Jin smiled at him, as if he had read his thoughts, and said, "You can rest assured about this... There is nothing difficult in the world, and you can't build it, but isn't this ready-made?"

  Everyone laughed cheerfully again.

  At this time, the Prince's Mansion in Wuhu County looked very busy.

  Many people are packing something.

  Many household belongings were wrapped up.

  Zhang Anshi looked excited.

  Until Yang Pu came to visit, Yang Pu was the minister of the Ministry of Marine Affairs.

  As soon as he stepped over the threshold, he saw Zhang Anshi was overjoyed, so he put on a dignified look.

  Seeing him like this, Zhang Anshi immediately seemed to have sensed something, so he showed a mournful and mournful expression.

   Then he said: "Mr. Yang, why are you here? Why is no one notifying you?"

   "This mansion seems to be very busy and messy. I walked in straight away. Maybe the guards saw that the official was an acquaintance, so..."

  Zhang Anshi sighed: "Hey... I don't think about food and drink recently, indeed... I lost the discipline of the people in the house, ah... I am so sad."

   As he spoke, Zhang Anshi stretched out his hand and wiped away the tears that were squeezed from the corners of his eyes.

  Yang Pu looked at Zhang Anshi with a strange look, as if at this time, he had a new understanding of Zhang Anshi.

  However, he quickly adjusted his mood, and said, "I heard... Your Highness is planning to go to Xinzhou?"

  Zhang Anshi said: "What's your opinion, Mr. Yang?"

  Yang Pu took a deep look at Zhang Anshi: "Is Your Highness serious?"

  Zhang Anshi sighed and said, "I just don't want my brother-in-law to embarrass me."

   "If His Highness leaves at this time, it will be embarrassing for His Highness the Crown Prince."

  Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Mr. Yang is about to use his three-inch tongue..."

Yang Pu smiled and said: "I just want to say something from the bottom of my heart. Hey... since His Highness implemented the new policy in Taiping Mansion, there are indeed many people who have received His Highness's favor. Now... there are also many people... who can be alone, but after all Their seniority is still too low, they did not enter the temple, they just guarded one side. Has His Highness thought about how many people will celebrate once His Highness goes to Xinzhou, and lose His Highness's protection... how many wolves, tigers and leopards will be attracted? "

  Zhang An Shidao: "In this way, isn't it true that this king will never be able to become a vassal for the rest of his life?"

Yang Pu shook his head and said: "At least it will take some years, more people need to graduate from Qixia's school, let them start their experience as civil servants, then gradually become officials of the frontier, and finally enter the temple. It's reliable. What's more, the lower officials feel that this verbal dispute is really strange, is it true that His Highness really wants to make loved ones hurt and enemies happy?"

  Zhang Anshi looked at him firmly and said: "You mean... this king won't leave? But if you don't leave, do you know what the consequences will be?"

  Yang Pu suppressed his smile, nodded and said, "I know."

  Zhang Anshi said with a half-smile, "Then tell me."

Yang Pu said: "Once His Majesty is doing well, and His Highness refuses to surrender in the capital, some people must think that His Highness the Crown Prince has violated His Majesty's wishes, which is unfilial. Some people will use this to criticize, and may even set off a war. Courtesy."

He paused for a moment, and then said: "The so-called name is right, and words are right. It is not easy to succeed the great rule in an upright manner. Once being criticized by others, it will arouse people's discussions, and it is not a good thing for His Royal Highness. In addition , This also cuts off the possibility of His Highness becoming a prince, His Highness must be regretful, right?"

  Zhang Anshidao: "I'm not interested in titles."

  Yang Pu smiled, but did not expose it.

  Prince and county king are two concepts.

  Especially in Daming, this prince can be regarded as a serious division of land and territory. He has various subordinate officials and institutions under the palace, and has enough guards for the palace.

  Besides that, at the level of prince, it can be regarded as completely detached from the concept of courtier.

   Even if you meet a high-ranking member of the court, according to the law, you have to pay homage to the prince.

  Don't underestimate these four words.

  In ancient times, when the etiquette system was the most important, this worship actually meant that the prince had special powers that others could not enjoy.

   I have to say that Emperor Taizu Gao really broke his heart for his sons. If it weren't for the fact that only one person can inherit the world, he would like to give everything to his sons, that is, the princes.

  Yang Pu thought for a while, and said: "Your Highness... Please think twice before..."

  Zhang Anshi only nodded and pursed his lips, but he seemed not interested in continuing.

  Yang Pu only shook his head when he saw this.

  Zhang Anshi looked at him and said: "Okay, it's getting late, this king should enter the palace to serve His Majesty, let's talk back."

  As Zhang Anshi spoke, he got up.

  When Zhang Anshi came to Zhu Di's bedroom.

  Zhu Di was lying on the copy at this time, holding a pen, writing something.

  Zhang Anshi looked around and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty... aren't you afraid that someone will see you?"

  Zhu Di couldn't help laughing seeing his cautious look, and said, "Don't worry... I'm much more cautious than you. How is it, how is the matter going?"

   Zhang Anshi said seriously: "It's all done."

  Zhu Di nodded, thinking about something, and said: "It seems...then it's time to choose a good day."

  Zhang Anshi was taken aback, and said, "Good day?"

  Zhu Di smiled and said: "Of course it is a good day for the crown prince to ascend the throne."

  Zhang Anshi couldn't laugh, and subconsciously said in shock: "Your Majesty hasn't...no..."

"there is nothing?"

  Zhang Anshi hesitated for a while, and then whispered: "I haven't made a big move yet...cough cough...I will die."

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Isn't this going to happen soon? Besides, this big thing...isn't it just when I say? Tonight...I will call the prince here, and I should show it to others and tell him the truth But this drama has to go on, in my opinion...many people can't wait...I've done it well, since that's the case...then...you might as well choose a good day to teach them to be happy..."

  Zhang Anshi: "..."

  Zhang Anshi couldn't help complaining in his heart, he was still happy, let's kill him in the end!

   Zhu Di said at this time: "August 19th, how is it?"

  Zhang Anshi said: "I don't understand this."

   "That's the day after tomorrow... well... it's a good day, that's all."

  Zhang Anshi hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, will this..."

  Zhu Di said: "Aren't you usually very courageous? Are you afraid now?"

   "I just think...it seems unlucky." Zhang Anshi said.

Zhu Di immediately understood Zhang Anshi's meaning, smiled and said: "I have never followed the rules in my whole life. As a person, you always have to follow the rules. You can't be old and become an honest person, right? Follow me That's it, don't think too much, I don't want to worry about other things now, I just want to see how crazy these people can go."

  Zhang Anshi had no choice but to nod: "If it's August 19th, will there be too little time..."

  Zhu Di said: "No problem..."

  Zhang Anshi thought for a while and said, "Then, do you need to discuss this with Eunuch Yishiha..."

  Zhu Di nodded and said: "It's time to let him know, you can talk about it."

  Zhang Anshi reluctantly complied.

   Slowly grow the night.

  In the Forbidden City, suddenly began to become extremely chaotic.

   Immediately afterwards, as if overnight, all the lanterns here were replaced with white lanterns with offerings.

  All the eunuchs and guards were dressed in sackcloth and white caps.

  Zhang Anshi looked unnatural.

  He didn't expect to play so big.

  After the accident that night, the officials already knew what happened.

   Immediately, everyone prepared their white belts, tied them on their bodies, and looked sad. They first entered through the Meridian Gate and saluted.

   Then, he went to see the prince.

  A country cannot live without a king.

  The emperor is on the way, so there is no delay in supporting the new king to ascend the throne.

  Generally, when the emperor is dead, the crown prince will ascend to the great treasure, and then order the burial.

  When the ministers met the prince.

  But found a very strange thing.

  A few days ago, the prince who was like a dead father.

   At this time, it seems that he also wants to put on a heartbroken look, but someone secretly observes, wondering if there is a visual problem, but finds that the prince... seems to be holding back his laughter.

   All of a sudden...the ministers who noticed the prince's expression inadvertently pretended not to see anything in fright.

   Immediately afterwards... I couldn't help but sigh.

  His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... has always shown his filial piety to others, and when His Majesty was seriously ill for a few days, he was in pain.

  Who would have thought that His Majesty kicked his legs, and he couldn't help but want to laugh just now.

  But after thinking about it carefully, it seems that I can barely understand it.

  Which prince didn't look filial when the emperor was alive?

  The current crown prince is over forty years old, and now he finally has the chance to become a great treasure. It's hard not to laugh.

Zhang Anshi, however, was beside the prince Zhu Gaochi, stamping his feet anxiously, taking advantage of the time when all the officials buried their heads on the ground, he approached the prince Zhu Gaochi, and said in a very low voice: "Brother-in-law...don't laugh, don't laugh...you're all watching ..."

  Zhu Gaochi, who had already learned the truth, tried his best to stop laughing, but couldn't help saying: "Don't laugh too."

  The two voices were soft, whispering.

  The officials couldn't hear clearly, but they only knew that the crown prince and Zhang Anshi seemed to be discussing something, and they didn't see the crown prince teaching everyone how to avoid courtesy, so they had no choice but to continue to kneel down and kowtow.

   "Ahem... excuse me." Zhu Gaochi said.

   "Your Highness..." Afterwards, it was the normal process. Liu Guan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, got up and bowed again: "Your Majesty has passed away unfortunately, please do not mourn..."

   he said.

   It is unavoidable to see Zhu Gaochi, who is very energetic, with the corners of his mouth constantly tugging, trying to suppress the corners of his mouth so that it does not rise.

Liu Guan acted as if he was blind, as if he couldn't see at all, and said in a serious manner: "After all, the foundation of the ancestors is the most important thing, and the people are the most important. Please, Your Highness, in order to take on this great responsibility, don't be too sad, and take good care of your body. .”
