Xie Jin's face was slightly unsightly, but given that Zhang Anshi was the prince's brother-in-law, he still said patiently: "This is not a problem of lack of manpower, it is a violation of etiquette, if the palace learns about it, how can you teach His Royal Highness the crown prince to explain to His Majesty?" ”

Zhang Anshi was not happy when he heard this, so he looked at Xie Jin angrily: "Then let them starve to death outside?" ”

"This ...... Own company to dispose of. ”

Zhang Anshi immediately said: "If Yousi can deal with it, there will not be such a starvation." ”

Xie Jin showed a little impatience, after all, he was a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and he thought that Zhang Anshi was harming His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by doing this.

With so many people filling the East Palace, what will Your Majesty think? What will those who want to accuse the prince think?

Xie Jin said: "Zhang Gongzi is still young, and there are some things... I don't understand it yet..."

Zhang Anshi said: "I only admit one reason, there are more people in the East Palace, and there are stutterers from hunger, what's wrong with this?" Now that these people are brought in, it will also be of great benefit to alleviate the disaster situation in Suzhou and Songjiang, and if there are so many mouths, there will be fewer people who are hungry. ”

Xie Jin saw that Zhang Anshi couldn't make sense, so he hurriedly saluted Zhu Gaochi and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, this matter must not be allowed, once Your Majesty learns about it, it will definitely be angry, this matter is very important, please think twice about it." ”

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but said angrily: "Rotten Confucianism! ”

"Shut up!" At this time, a crisp voice sounded.

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, but saw that the crown princess Zhang was cold-faced, leading Zhu Zhanji over, followed by a team of palace ladies and eunuchs.

Zhang Shi hated iron and said to Zhang Anshi: "Anshi, how can you speak to Master Xie like this. ”

"Sister ......"

Xie Jinbu is a salute to Zhang's.

Zhang's chin bowed his head and said politely to Xie Jin: "Bachelor Xie has worked hard. Don't blame your brother for being reckless. ”

Zhang Shi immediately said to Zhang Anshi with a cold face: "I heard that you have recruited a lot of women to come, where are you?" ”

Zhang Anshi said stupidly: "It's over the urn wall." ”

Zhang said to Zhu Gaochi: "Your Highness, it's better to go and have a look first." ”

Zhu Gaochi sighed: "Okay." ”

The group climbed the high wall of the East Palace, along the aisle of the palace wall, and then went to the city gate building of Cheng'en Gate.

Most of the ragged people were barefoot, and in this cold weather, the unkempt people were curled up and stood timidly.

Zhang stared at the black man, not moving.

Xie Jin said to the prince and the Zhang family: "Your Highness, Niangniang, it's windy here, let's leave quickly, these people...... The ministers will find a way to hand it over to the Heavenly Mansion for disposal. ”

Zhang Shi looked back and glanced at Xie Jin: "How does Duke Xie plan to hand it over to Ying Tianfu?" ”

"This ......"

Zhang beckoned to Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi was afraid that the Zhang family would screw him, so he refused to step forward.

Zhang reprimanded: "Usually you are bold, but now you know that you are afraid." ”

Zhu Zhanji, who was held by Zhang's family, said in a milky voice: "Don't be angry, concubine, I will be obedient." ”

Zhang Anshi smiled awkwardly.

Zhang Shi muttered: "Let people settle them down first, and clean them all up." If they are not sick, let them enter the palace, let Mama Li and Mama Zhou do this, and then order Deng Jian to take care of their food and clothing, and teach everyone not to slack off, the weather is so cold, they can't last much time. ”

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but be surprised: "Ah......"

Xie Jin was shocked and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, you are ......"

Zhang's face didn't have much expression, but the whole person looked indescribably dignified, and said in his mouth: "People have no food to eat, no clothes to wear, they will die!" ”

"But ......"

Zhang said: "I know that I have good intentions, if I really cause any gossip, I will bear it, and the most important thing now is ...... One more person is one. ”

Xie Jin obviously felt that the Zhang family had some women's opinions: "Your Majesty has ...... by your side"

"Will there be anyone around Your Majesty who will use this to criticize the crown prince?" When Zhang said this, his eyes fell on those ragged people, his eyes flashed with pity, and he continued: "But Duke Xie has never tasted the taste of starvation and cold, I haven't tasted it, and my brother hasn't tasted it either." But my Zhang family ...... I am not from a rich and noble family, but I also know the suffering of the world, and I know how difficult it is for people to live in such a disaster year! ”

"There are many truths in the world, if you are reasonable, of course I can't talk about Xie Gong, but I, a woman, only admit one reason, the family surnamed Zhu sits in the world, and the life and death of the people are maintained on the emperor, the prince is a son, I am a daughter-in-law, today I am a half-person who teaches here to starve to death in front of the East Palace, are you not afraid of being rejected by God?"

Speaking of which, Xie Jin could only look at Zhu Gaochi, hoping that Zhu Gaochi could say something.

Zhu Gaochi's mouth trembled, and finally said, "Listen to her." ”

Xie Jin: "......"

Zhang Shi no longer understood Jin, and said gently to Zhang Anshi: "My brother, the bastard is a little bastard, and he doesn't do anything about personnel on weekdays, but today's big thing is the right thing." There are so many people here, if the East Palace can't support it, then starting today, from here in the main palace, each person will eat two meals, and all the expenses will be halved. ”

She paused, and then said, "As for the father and queen mother...... How do parents think of the prince and the palace, this is a matter for my parents, I can't change my parents' minds, but thunder and rain are the grace of the monarch. As a child, I can share the worries of my father and the emperor, so that there are fewer hungry people in the Ming Dynasty, this is the great truth. ”

Zhang Anshi looked at his sister, his eyes were shining, and he lost no time in saying, "Sister said well." ”

Seeing this, Xie Jin looked at Zhu Gaochi again, Zhu Gaochi also calmed down, he waved his hand, reprimanded the palace ladies and eunuchs around him, and said in a low voice: "What Concubine Ai said is very true, Master Xie always says to the palace to fight for the prince, fight for the prince?" What is the purpose of contention storage? If this palace becomes a vassal king, will it be rich and noble? ”

"This palace wants to be the crown prince, because this palace thinks that this palace can treat the world with benevolence, and the ancestors should not be trampled at will. What the bachelor is worried about, this palace is also very worried, but the matter has come to this point, how can it be shirked? ”

Xie Jin sighed and said, "Your Highness's intentions, the minister has understood. ”

What he was worried about...... It is the emperor's crisis of trust in the crown prince, once there is a crack in this trust, then it will be more difficult to bridge it than to ascend to the sky.

Up and down the East Palace, there was already a movement, Deng Jian personally took people, prepared food, went out of Cheng'en Gate, and tried to let these women take a bath, and after eating, confirmed that there was no disease.

In the East Palace, several of Zhang's cronies and grandmothers were discussing the placement.

Zhang Anshi saw that his brother-in-law and sister didn't have time to pay attention to themselves, so he took Zhu Zhanji's hand and went to the small hall to warm himself with the charcoal stove.

"Zhan Ji, Zhan Ji, you are really a filial child, as soon as I see you, I know that you will be my uncle's intimate little padded jacket in the future."

Zhu Zhanji blushed his cheeks and thought about his thoughts.

"In a few days, I will order some looms, now our East Palace has abundant manpower, we can't sit and eat empty, we want to expand production, Uncle can't enter and leave the palace at any time, you have to help Uncle keep an eye on it, you know no!" I don't believe anyone in the whole world, but I can trust you. ”

Zhu Zhanji sat on the chair, his legs hanging in the air, shaking and shaking, and continued to support his cheeks.

"Hey, why don't you speak?"

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but say at this time: "Uncle didn't say last time that he was not allowed to talk to you. ”

Zhang Anshi showed a loving smile, touched his head, and said in a voice full of emotion: "Uncle loves you, why are you willing to ignore you?" You have to remember to help Uncle keep an eye on the production, you know? ”

Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and said, "Uncle is losing money." ”

Zhang Anshi pulled his face: "What is this, let's help others for fun, but there is a saying that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, you see that a person is going to starve to death, throw him food, this is called charity." But if you give him a chance to gain a foothold in the world, that's help. ”

"Okay, you don't understand it yet, when you grow up in the future, you will naturally understand Uncle's good intentions, and Uncle will die of sorrow in order to do good deeds."

Zhu Zhanji's eyes widened, and he looked confused and puzzled.
