My Brother-in-law is the Prince Chapter 517

  Chapter 517 Catch a turtle in an urn

  After Liu Guan finished speaking, all the ministers fell silent, waiting for Prince Zhu Gaochi's response.

  Zhu Gaochi took a long time to adjust his mood.

   Only then did he reveal a mournful expression, word by word, earnestly said: "Daxing...Emperor Daxing has been kind enough to raise us, and this sad news is passed on, and I am overwhelmed with grief..."

   After finishing speaking, he began to wipe away his tears and wiped his eyes very hard.

   All the ministers sighed.

  But someone saw Zhang Anshi sullen again, and suddenly showed a look of uncontrollable laughter.

   This time, it was like provoking the anger of the public. The prince can't help it, but you, Zhang Anshi, can't help it?

  This is the Daxing Emperor Bintian... His Majesty passed away, and you, Zhang Anshi, have become a legitimate uncle of the country, why are you so happy?

   Fortunately, although some people felt that Zhang Anshi was rude, no one criticized him, but Liu Guan continued to respond, saying: "His Royal Highness mourns, the foundation of the ancestors and the people should be the most important, and it is advisable to succeed the great emperor immediately, so as not to breed future troubles."

  Zhu Gaochi waved his hand, just sighed: "Everything is done according to Zhu Qing."

   At this time, Zhu Gaochi could not agree, nor could he refuse.

   Immediately agreed, more or less disrespect to Emperor Daxing.

  But if it is a refusal, it is even more impossible.

  So the meaning of deciding according to the group of ministers is that you can make up your mind on this matter, and I can just reluctantly make it difficult.

  Liu Guan then said: "Tomorrow, August 19th, the enthronement ceremony can be held."

  Zhu Gaochi didn't answer, and continued to look sad.

  Liu Guan only regarded him as acquiescing: "Although it is hasty, it is related to the country. A country cannot live without a king. The Ministry of Rites has no choice but to make arbitrary decisions."

  Zhu Gaochi was just silent.

   At this time, it is enough for him to cry.

  Although Zhu Gaochi didn't cry.

  So the officials dispersed one by one and went to prepare.

   Zhang Anshi saw them leaving.

  Just now he took off his filial piety hat, let out a foul breath, and sighed: "It's really not easy, brother-in-law, you almost revealed your secrets."

  Zhu Gaochi glanced at him, and complained a bit: "You are hiding such a big matter from me, you are such a bastard."

  Zhang Anshi said innocently: "No wonder I, His Majesty insisted on doing this. What can I say? Hey... I am so pitiful. Your Majesty forced me, and my brother-in-law here is blaming me. Anyway, I am not human."

At this time, Zhu Gaochi put his hands behind his back, took a few steps, and said: "The state should be established in accordance with the etiquette. Didn't the emperor play tricks on the subjects of the world by doing this? It really shouldn't be like this. You should have persuaded me instead of fooling around .”

  Zhang An Shidao: "Don't brother-in-law know about your majesty's temperament? What he decided, even nine cows can't be pulled back. Besides, isn't your majesty doing this because of you, brother-in-law?"

   Zhu Gaochi frowned, looking worried: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Slaying demons and eradicating evil always requires someone to do it. If His Majesty doesn't do it today, in the future...his descendants will also do it. However, no matter who kills people like this, someone will eventually be killed." Criticism! Rather than letting the children and grandchildren do it, it is better for your majesty to do it. Anyway, your majesty is born in Jingnan, and there is no shortage of such facts. The so-called stain of the country is the master of the country; "Brother-in-law now understands what His Majesty means."

  After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi lowered his head and was unhappy. At this moment, he no longer had a hippie smile on his face, but instead showed a somewhat serious expression.

   After a long time, Zhu Gaochi raised his head and said, "Are you ready for tomorrow's event?"

  Zhang Anshi said: "It's ready."

  Zhu Gaochi looked at him with burning eyes and said, "What will happen tomorrow?"

  Zhang Anshi said categorically: "There must be."

  Zhu Gaochi couldn't help saying: "This is too blind."

Zhang Anshi shook his head: "Nowadays, inside and outside the court, many people are celebrating with each other. What are they celebrating? They just hope that I will go to Xinzhou! But if you want to force me to go to Xinzhou, you must give your brother-in-law a blow. Ascension to the throne is generally the case. In fact, Jin Yiwei has already received a lot of secret reports."

   "Secret report, what secret report?" Zhu Gaochi raised his eyebrows, and took a deep look at Zhang Anshi.

"Many people have already started to want a piece of the pie in advance." Zhang Anshi said: "It's too early to say that it's too early to get no profit! Of course, the ministers are still cautious, but the relatives and clansmen around them are not so cautious. Yes. Now that it's come to this point, all the benefits that should be promised have been promised to others, and all the benefits that you want to take advantage of have been predicted in advance. Brother-in-law, have you heard about the benefits?”

  Zhu Gaochi didn't understand, so he said authentically: "Good?"

  Zhang Anshi patiently explained: "It's just for business, and suddenly there is good news in the market..."

  Zhu Gaochi looked at him curiously: "What is this?"

Zhang Anshi then said: "Because there is good news, everyone has already clearly arranged the future benefits of this good news. Who should get what benefits, who can eat as much, who can get how much, everyone is in advance, The pie has already been divided. Of course, everyone has invested in the cost... When the good news really comes out, the good news has already been released."

  Zhu Gaochi frowned and said, "What does this business have to do with the present?"

  Zhang Anshi sighed and said: "The pie has already been divided, but if this good news cannot be turned into real benefits, then many people... are about to die."

  Zhu Gaochi was even more surprised: "Why?"

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "For example, a person knows in advance that he may become the governor of the Taiping Mansion. He has already spent countless money on this position, even in order to seize the opportunity, it can be said that he went bankrupt...then...if he can't get this position, he will die."

  Zhu Gaochi nodded, nodded and said: "I probably understand. But why don't they wait until everything is settled and you go to Xinzhou before paying the price?"

Zhang Anshi continued: "Because everyone wants to seize the opportunity. The so-called opportunity cannot be missed. There is also a saying that nights are long and dreams are many. By the time he is determined to wait until that day, others may have already been one step ahead. So although the news may have certain Uncertainty, but if it is a step too late, when the news is finally settled, how can he still have his share? It's like when you divide the pie, you haven't discussed it with others in advance. The food is also cold."

   Zhu Gaochi became more and more unbelievable the more he listened.

Zhang Anshi continued: "But it's not just that. The frightening thing is that since this person has spent countless prices in advance to win the position of Governor of Taiping Prefecture. This position has such a huge lure, then... once someone finds out the news , there is bound to be someone who will make a move in advance and find him to share the little cake in his hand."

"Therefore, it is impossible to say that someone has already spent countless money and sent countless gold and silver to this future Taiping Governor, for the future... what benefits he can get in the Taiping Palace, and spent the price ..."

  Zhu Gaochi said in surprise: "In this way, there are many participants?"

  Zhang Anshidao: "It's not just a lot, everyone is staring at it, especially some... people who are well-informed and have connections."

  Zhu Gaochi immediately said: "After the big cake is divided, everyone will divide the small cakes. After the small cakes are distributed, how about the residue of the cake?"

"Yes." Zhang Anshi said: "If someone premeditates to get the position of governor, someone will go to the future governor in advance to plan for the position of county magistrate. Once the position of future county magistrate is obtained, someone will go to the future county. Let there be some premeditated transactions related to the county in that county, or...premeditated a certain piece of land. All in all, these people will participate in this share of food according to their ability and wealth."

  Zhu Gaochi felt cold all over his body, and couldn't help but said: "How can people's greed go so far?"

Zhang Anshi looked calm, and said: "Brother-in-law, this is called getting the moon first when you are close to the water. There is also a saying that soldiers are precious and fast. It is completely different to do things early and late. Why don't you teach people such great benefits as the New Deal?" Salivating? It's just that there was no opportunity before, but now that the opportunity comes, how can anyone let it go?”

"It's like those rebels. It doesn't matter whether the rebellion is successful or not, but before it succeeds, everyone has to be buried together and discuss first. Who will be the prime minister, who will be the king, and who will be the general. If you are a prince, if you lose... you will die and your family will perish."

  Zhu Gaochi put his hands behind his back, as if he was thinking about something. After taking another two steps, he said again: "Does the emperor know about these things?"

  Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know yet, but most likely, he also knows... a little bit. Jin Yiwei only found some fragments of news. After all... don't dare to investigate too much, lest you startle the snake."

  Zhu Gaochi lowered his head slightly, and quietly said: "Now someone has distributed the cake, so...they won't be able to do it unless they drive it away."

   "Yes." Zhang Anshi said with certainty: "So tomorrow...they will die."

  Zhu Gaochi took a deep breath, then looked up at Zhang Anshi and said, "I know, I know, I... have to see, how they plan to... kill the net!"

  Zhang Anshidao: "Jin Yiwei... is also ready, just wait for His Majesty to throw a cup."

   Late at night.

  Golden Mansion.

  Jin Youzi sat in the inner hall, drinking tea slowly with a teacup.

  He didn't sleep all night, his eyes were bloodshot, and he glanced at the dark sky outside from time to time.

   His son Jin Zhaobo, who was sitting with him, couldn't help but said, "Father...you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jin Youzi waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty's great deeds will inevitably make people feel sad. It's okay, the old man's health is finally fine. Later, when the sky is about to dawn, he should enter the palace for an audience. .”

  Jin Zhaobo looked at Jin Youzi who had a slightly tired face, and said uncomfortably: "But father, your body can't bear it."

Jin Youzi smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, you know what your father knows. You still have to prepare your homework. No matter what, in the next spring, you will always have to be named on the gold list. Our Jin family can be considered proud. As an old father, after so many years, I also didn't ask about you brothers, it's all bad for my father, among the brothers, only you are the most knowledgeable, my father is very pleased, you have to make persistent efforts."

  Jin Zhaobo was silent. He lowered his head and wanted to say something, but he hesitated.

  Jin Zhaobo actually wanted to talk about the current court situation, but he had spoken many times before, but his father always talked about him and didn't want him to get involved.

  So Jin Zhaobo said: "Father, uncle..."

  Jin Youzi looked at him and said, "What's wrong with him?"

  Jin Zhaobo said with a bit of worry: "I heard... Uncle is outside... spending time with people... my son is a little worried."

  Jin Youzi had a calm expression, just nodded and said: "Leave him alone, he has always been a fool..."

  Jin Zhaobo said: "The day before yesterday, he was looking for his son, saying that he wanted to buy a big house for him... and also said..."

  Jin Youzi said: "Have you accepted it?"

   "My son dare not accept it." Jin Zhaobo said: "My son's ambition is not here."

  Jin Youzi showed a look of relief, smiled and said: "It's fine if you don't accept it. Your behavior makes my father very happy."

  Jin Zhaobo said: "Father doesn't want to ask uncle..."

  Jin Youzi said indifferently: "I'm just asking, I haven't figured out my own affairs yet, why do I still have the heart to ask others."

  Jin Zhaobo couldn't help but said: "Father... Your Majesty's great move... the court will definitely..."

"Now is not the time for you to care about these things." Jin Youzi's face was a little solemn, and he continued: "You should put your mind on your studies. When you are a father at your age, you only think about fame. Because...a person's whole life should be devoted to reading."

"It's...you have to set your ambition first and know what your wish is. After you know your wish, you can work hard in this direction. Other things are not what you should care about. Don't listen, don't go Just don't worry about it, because you have to wait until you get fame before you learn and think about it. If you don't, it's easy to fall into a situation of half-hearted and half-hearted.”

  Jin Zhaobo said: "The son is taught. Father should go and take a nap."

  Jin Youzi smiled and said, "It's okay, let's sit down for a while for my father."

   "Father..." Jin Zhaobo looked unspeakable, and then he said: "I heard that someone impeached my father...pretending to be an edict."

  Jin Youzi couldn't see any joy or anger on his face. He glanced at Jin Zhaobo, took a sip of tea, and said slowly, "Are you worried?"

"yes."

Jin Youzi said: "This is the official career. On the official career, there will be many things and many people. It is not only a single-plank bridge, but also a broad road, a rugged mountain road, and a flat river. There are poisonous snakes and beasts, as well as flowers. Paving the road can make people want to stop and walk on thin ice. But don't worry, after walking for my father for so many years, although there are bumps and bumps, I won't fall.”

  Jin Zhaobo sighed, his father's answer was always clouded.

  Jin Youzi seemed to see through his thoughts, and said, "He must be thinking in his heart, whether these words for his father are a bit too concealed."

  Jin Zhaobo said: "My son dare not."

Jin Youzi smiled: "Now you feel... mysterious and mysterious, because... you have not stepped into the official career, and you have never experienced the hardships and honors involved. It is precisely because of this that you cannot empathize. Now for father and You just need to keep in mind what you said, and in the future... when you reach the age of being a father, you will understand everything. "

"yes."

  Sit withered all night.

  The sky is twilight.

   It's Mao time.

  Jin Youzi finally stood up.

  He was still wearing court clothes, he only stroked his hands, and then he started to walk.

The chariots and horses were ready, boarded the chariots and horses, and Jin Youzi sat upright. Although he hadn't slept all night, he never felt drowsy on his face, but sat upright in the chariots and horses with his eyes closed, as if For what is about to happen today, do the last review.

   Hundreds of officials gathered.

   All the ministers filed into the palace in an orderly manner.

  Sing along with the eunuchs.

  As well as the sound of bells and drums from various turrets, all the ministers in the capital have gathered at this time.

  The enthronement ceremony was prepared by the Ministry of Rites.

  Everything is in order.

  As if... rehearsed often.

  Although Liu Guan is an old fritter, he doesn't do any serious things at all on weekdays.

   But such a grand ceremony of etiquette, he did it impressively.

   There is only a fly in the ointment.

  He discovered that Wuhu County King Zhang Anshi was actually absent.

  Liu Guan got angry because of this.

  The news I got was that Zhang Anshi passed out from crying last night because of His Majesty's great conduct.

  Liu Guan couldn't help cursing: "I saw him laughing yesterday..."

   Liu Guan didn't say what happened next, because he doesn't like to offend people after all.

  As for Zhang Anshi, he was also in the palace at this time, and had even arrived at Zhu Di's bedroom.

  Yishha, who came out of sadness, taught people to prepare the crown clothes, and looked at Zhu Di who was still well, and he smiled gratifiedly from time to time.

  At this time, Zhu Di was dressed in a new attire, with black and white beard and hair. Facing the bronze mirror, Zhu Di stared at himself in the mirror.

  Can't help it...Zhu Di showed a bit sad.

  Zhang Anshi said in the sidelines: "Your Majesty... you are so heroic."

  Zhu Di rolled his eyes and said, "You are a brave bird."

  Zhang Anshidao: "..."

  Zhang Anshi really wanted to say, what about your style of being an emperor?

   Zhu Di said at this time: "Are you ready?"

"Everything is ready." Zhang Anshi hurriedly put away his complaints, and said, "Chen Li, the commander of Jin Yiwei, has prepared troops and quietly controlled the inside and outside of the capital. Besides, Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu have already brought their troops. , to block the Nine Gates at any time."

  Zhu Di glared at him and said: "That's not what I asked. I don't count on the Jinyiwei and the Model Camp. These people can't escape from my hands. What I asked is... the prince, is there any mistake?"

  Zhang Anshidao: "His Royal Highness... has always been impeccable in his actions, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

  Zhu Di sighed: "Then get ready for the trip. It's time for the princes of the Manchu Dynasty to see me. I haven't summoned the ministers for so many days. If you want to come...they must miss it very much."

  Zhang Anshi turned his head to one side, couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and said in his heart: Your Majesty, you should accumulate some virtue.
