Chapter Eighty-Four: Reward

Zhu Di sat down and looked at the accounts carefully.

Zhang Anshi was afraid that Zhu Di wouldn't understand, so he wanted to mention it on the side.

But as everyone knows, a really powerful commander may not understand poetry and songs, but he is extremely sensitive to numbers.

After all, any military decision is about numbers.

Zhu Di not only understands, but also is very sensitive.

I saw him say: "They have hoarded so much grain in Suzhou and Songjiang, so much as 90,000 stones? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "They adopt the strategy of buying low and selling high, and when there is a famine, they will immediately double the purchase of grain on the market, and when the grain on the market is empty, they will hoard goods and speculate the price higher." ”

Zhu Di sneered: "It's really terrible, these people even pointed at my nose one by one and said that I killed people like hemp, saying that I was a murderer, but these people's soft knives, the people they killed, how many times more than ten times more than me?" ”

Zhang Anshi was curious, and said, "Your Majesty, who else dares to say such a thing?" This really made people unexpected, only the ministers thought that His Majesty was lenient and kind-hearted. ”

Zhu Di ignored him, continued to look at the number carefully, and then his eyes closed, and he said: "In this way, in Suzhou and Songjiang, open warehouses and release grain on the spot, this disaster can probably be solved?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Of course, these grains cannot meet the needs of all the people, but the minister thinks that with a large amount of grain distributed to the people, other grain merchants and gentry who are hoarding goods will also panic, but they are afraid that they will be shipped one after another, and at that time...... Food prices could plummet, and the situation would be alleviated. ”

Zhang Anshi paused and continued: "But...... This is just an ideal state, from an ideal state, Suzhou and Songjiang are the land of fish and rice, even if there is a year's famine, it stands to reason that the grain storage is enough, plus the imperial court has also allocated so much disaster relief grain, logically speaking, there will be no shortage of food, but these people of the Shen family have not made a lot of money from it, and hundreds of people have become starving? ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Anshi smiled dryly: "It can be seen that the key to the problem may not only be the problem of food, but the ......."

At this time, Zhang Anshi suddenly paused.

Zhu Di glared at him and said, "Say, why don't you continue?" ”

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "The minister, like His Majesty, is also kind-hearted, and it is inconvenient to say what he says later, for fear of saying it...... Conscience is disturbed. ”

Zhu Di sneered: "In this way, before the grain is distributed, there is one more thing to do?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty Shengming, if you want to come, you can only ask Yousi to check." ”

Zhu Di shook his head: "When the imperial court sends someone to investigate, then when the evidence of the crime is collected and the canonical punishment is clear, I don't know how long it will take, hey...... I finally understood Emperor Taizu Gao. ”

The last sentence carried some emotion, but he did not continue.

Zhang Anshi's heart seemed to be a deer, he always felt ...... It seems that something terrible is going to happen.

Zhu Di immediately said: "In any case, with this batch of grain, the urgent need has finally been solved." ”

After saying that, Zhu Di stood up and said, "Here, you don't have to guard it, I will order Ji Gang to send Jinyi Guard." ”

After a pause, Zhu Di said gently: "Setting off a cannon in the capital without authorization is a crime of death, this time, if you are ignorant, I will not pursue you, but next time, I will not be spared." ”

Zhang Anshi looked embarrassed, and said busily: "Yes." ”

Zhu Di said, and called Yishu to come.

He also lost his bow and obeyed orders.

Zhu Di said: "One: Fate Ti rode the starry night to Songjiang and Suzhou two mansions, and the prefects of these two mansions will be killed!" ”

Yisha shuddered.

Zhu Di said again: "All the county orders involved in the disaster will also be killed." ”

"Slave...... The slave obeys. ”

Zhu Di had no expression on his face, not even a menacing look, his eyes were even gentle, and he continued eloquently: "Ren Zhoushou is the new prefect of Suzhou, Xu Wen is the prefect of Songjiang, and the rest of the counties and county orders are filled by the county and county officials. ”

This was said neatly, and he could only say honestly: "The slave obeys the order." ”

Zhang Anshi's eyelids jumped as he listened.

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but think of the sentence that Zhu Di had just sighed at this time.

This is ruthless enough, after all, there are so many prefects and county orders, Zhang Anshi absolutely believes that there must be a few of them who have been wronged.

Merely...... Zhu Di doesn't care anymore, the disaster is urgent, if he doesn't kill, change the blood, and wait to investigate slowly, I'm afraid that in the spring of the next year, I can barely discuss the crime, and when it comes, I'm afraid that many people will be dead.

Since this is the case, then use the method of Emperor Taizu Gao, I don't care who is greedy and who is cheap, and now that it has reached this point, then let's all die.

And these newly appointed people, with the lessons of the past, dare not say what will happen to them in the future, but at least in this winter, they will definitely do their best to help.

Zhu Di ignored Zhang Anshi, and only snorted: "Take those three boys, get out of here." ”

"Oh." Zhang Anshi's chick pecked the rice, like a docile quail: "The minister will leave." ”

As if he had been pardoned, he quickly led people away.

So much so that Qiu Song's kid was a little stupid, and he was still dragged by Zhu Yong to run.

All of a sudden, the four disappeared.

Zhu Di was in the library, picked up the "Spring and Autumn" on Zhang Anshi's desk, looked at it, threw it to the ground, and muttered: "Return the fucking "Spring and Autumn"!" ”

…………

Zhang Anshi was honest, and hid at home for two days, as if he felt that the limelight had passed, so he slowly started to move.

On the other hand, a marriage began to have eyebrows.

Xu Jingyi, the daughter of Wei Guogong, has just grown up and has reached the age of marriage.

Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, was worried about his in-laws, and almost every day he ran to the palace and Wei Guogong.

Empress Xu is naturally extremely concerned about her niece's marriage, her brother is a stubborn temper, and would rather be imprisoned than bow to Zhu Di.

This nephew and niece are even more favored by Queen Xu.

It's good that Zhu Gaoxu didn't mention it, but when she mentioned it, Queen Xu was moved, so she naturally ran to discuss with Zhu Di.

When Zhu Di heard this, he was happy: "That child is very well-behaved, and she really wants to find a husband who is satisfactory, her father is not sensible, but we can't help but know things, this is a big deal, all in all, no matter who Jingyi wants to marry, I am here...... You have to do a lot of things, and you can't let your child be cold-hearted. ”

Empress Xu smiled softly and said, "Yes, my brother...... Ay...... No matter what you say, you can't teach the child to suffer a loss, this matter is still mentioned by Gao Xu, he doesn't mention it, the concubine didn't expect that Jingyi has grown up. ”

As she spoke, her eyes were full of sorrow and joy, on the one hand, Wei Guogong's affairs were a thorn in her heart, Xu Da's children had always been harmonious, but because of the Battle of Jingjing, there were huge differences, so that now they are ...... Brother and sister turn against each other.

On the other hand, she was glad that her niece had grown up and would marry a wife in the future, and that she should do her best as an aunt.

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing when he heard that Zhu Gaoxu was also interested in Xu Jingyi, the daughter of Wei Guogong...... Ha ha...... This guy, although he doesn't pay attention to it on weekdays, still has a little conscience, and he still thinks of his brothers and sisters in his heart. ”

Zhu Di was very pleased, and Long Yan was happy.

He is the emperor and the father, because of this, after experiencing the Battle of Jingjing, he understands the importance of family harmony, Zhu Di has nothing else to worry about in his life, but what he is worried about is his son turning against him, and after a hundred years, there is a scene of brothers killing each other.

And Zhu Gaoxu's concern for his sister-in-law made Zhu Di see Zhu Gaoxu's warm side, and Zhu Di hoped to ...... Sons can compete less and be more brothers.

Zhu Di said with concern: "Is there a candidate now?" ”

"The celebrant recommended a few, and the king of Han also recommended one, saying that this person has passed through heaven and earth, looks dignified, and is a talent who is not born in the world, and the concubine does not dare to slack off on this matter, so he ordered the people of the celebrant to take a look one by one, and choose one with good conduct and appearance."

Speaking of this, Queen Xu's eyes were filled with tears: "The poor concubine's brother is always stubborn, if not, this must be his business." Now that there is no one to take care of the children, I, as a sister, don't know what to do if I don't take care of these children anymore. “

Zhu Di comforted her and said: "He is like your father, and he can't pull back the nine cows if he recognizes it, but ...... Marriage is a great joy, why are you crying? It's time to be happy. ”

"Yes."

Zhu Di said again, "This time, to do it beautifully, Duke Xu was posthumously presented as the king of Zhongshan by the imperial court, so let's do it according to the specifications of the prince's daughter to marry, in order to be decent, the Dingguo Gongfu City, but also to send a wife, and when the dragon fast son-in-law is selected, I will call the dragon fast son-in-law into the palace, I want to take a good look, I will be Jingyi, as my own daughter to see." Let the whole world know that I have no prejudice against the Wei Mansion. ”

Empress Xu was very touched in her heart, wiped away her tears, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, concubine." ”

Zhu Di laughed: "It's all a family, why do you need to say thank you?" ”

On the other side, Cui Shuntong, the eunuch of the celebrant and eunuch, hurriedly went to investigate, and he met with several men recommended by the eunuch, these people, both in terms of family background and appearance, were all good, but it was difficult to decide for a while.

This is a big deal, Cui Shuntong doesn't dare to slack off, if something goes wrong, he will die.

He knew the weight of the Xu family in the hearts of His Majesty and Empress Xu, and he couldn't be sloppy at all.

Finally, he came to the Han Palace.

The king of Han took him into the palace very affectionately.

Cui Shuntong was flattered and said, "Lord Wang, where is the young man you recommended?" ”

"Ah...... Isn't that right here? Zhu Gaoxu looked a little unhappy.

Cui Shuntong glanced at the person who had been standing beside Zhu Gaoxu, and was startled.

Where is this teenager, this teenager is only afraid...... A bit precocious...... Or rather...... It's ripe.

As for physiognomy...... Belch......

Cui Shuntong looked at Guo Degang and saw that he looked trembling, his complexion was slightly dark, his face was a little pockmarked, and his teeth were ...... It's a bit dark......

That's it?

Cui Shuntong couldn't help but laugh dryly: "Your Highness, the slave has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Looking at Cui Shuntong's appearance, Zhu Gaoxu was furious: "If you make this king unhappy, don't say it, otherwise this king will lose his temper and kill him." ”

Cui Shuntong: "......"

In fact, at this time, Guo Degang was already scared to pee.

Recently, following Zhu Gaoxu's side, there is always a desire to urinate, every day is like a roller coaster, he wants to open his mouth to say something, but the words are not spoken, but he looks at Zhu Gaoxu timidly, and swallows these words back.

At this time, I saw Zhu Gaoxu say: "You say, can this brother succeed?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu's face was stiff, with a bit of threat.

Cui Shuntong stubbornly said: "It's a success, it's just a ......."

Zhu Gaoxu immediately glared at Cui Shuntong and sneered: "It's just not what you want!" Bastard, is it my sister-in-law who is marrying, or is it your eunuch who is marrying? Is it your turn to evaluate my family's affairs? ”

"Ah...... This ......"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Forget it, this king will have a showdown today, you come, this king has something to say to you." ”

Cui Shuntong laughed and leaned next to Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu lowered his voice and said: "I really don't hide it from you, don't look at my brother who looks ordinary, in fact, His Majesty and the Queen Mother treat him as a treasure, what is the mind of this king's own father and mother, will this king not know?" According to the king, you don't have to run any longer, and the celebrant will fill in my brother to the king, but if anyone else is chosen, the king will kill you. ”

Cui Shuntong listened to the clouds and fog, as if he had heard something, chewed carefully, and seemed to understand nothing.

However, the people in the palace, of course, should be cautious in doing things, Cui Shuntong said: "What does His Highness mean...... Your Majesty and Niangniang already belong to this person? “

"Of course, it's not just the will, it's what my father misses in his heart." Zhu Gaoxu said: "Of course, these can't be mentioned now, you know that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, even if the father and emperor want it, but he will never like you eunuchs to figure it out in private." ”

Cui Shuntong looked up again at Guo Degang, who was standing like a slave in the distance, and looked very embarrassed: "But Your Highness, the slave thinks it's ......."

"You know a bird!" Zhu Gaoxu glared at him angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "If this king is not familiar with his father's thoughts, how can he recommend Guo Degang?" Do you think this king is a fool? ”

Cui Shuntong thought about it, this makes a lot of sense.

King Han must know something he can't know, if not, would he dare to make fun of the marriage of the daughter of the Duke of Wei?

Cui Shuntong thought about it, since there are already candidates of the Heavenly Family, now they are just going through the motions, what kind of excitement do they have together!

"That'...... Your Highness, what should the slave say? ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Don't worry, let's come one by one, where is your booklet?" ”

Cui Shuntong took out the booklet, which recorded the origins, names, eight characters, conduct, and appearance of several candidates.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "This king is coming, you come to fill in." ”

Zhu Gaoxu first read his place of origin, eight characters and name.

Cui Shuntong obediently wrote it down.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Character...... Just fill in according to the king's fill in and write 'great virtue'. ”

"Ah......" Cui Shuntong glanced up at Zhu Gaoxu in surprise.

Zhu Gaoxu said very calmly: "This king will not be wrong to look at people. ”

"What about physiognomy?" Cui Shuntong obediently filled in and continued to ask.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "This king looks at him, although he is not Pan An and Song Yu, he can be regarded as a beautiful eyebrow, so he will write a beautiful eyebrow." ”

Cui Shuntong hesitated: "......"

"How?" Zhu Gaoxu glared at him: "Do you have something to say?" ”

Under Zhu Gaoxu's angry eyes, Cui Shuntong immediately said: "No." ”

Write it down obediently.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his anger into joy, and said: "You go back and inform the celebrant and the celebrant to wait for this matter...... Involving secrets, there are some things that are inconvenient to say, but you have to choose this Guo Degang, who dares to have objections, then it is best not to let this king know, if this king knows, then continue to be reincarnated as a gelding dog in the next life. ”

Cui Shuntong's legs tightened, and he had an indescribable feeling of 'phantom pain': "The slave knows." ”

Cui Shuntong said that, and obediently went back to resume his life.

Zhu Gaoxu waited for Cui Shuntong to leave, and then came to Guo Degang happily: "Brother Guo, blame this king for not having the ability, otherwise you should be a concubine, this king has always been heart-wrenching when he treats his brother, and when you marry this king's sister, you and I will be relatives." ”

Guo Degang stammered: "Your ...... Your Highness...... I'm ......."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "What's wrong with you? ”

Guo Degang wanted to say, I have already married a wife.

It's just that I swallowed it raw again in the end.

He didn't dare to say.

At first, he didn't dare to say it, because he was afraid that Zhu Gaoxu, a moody guy, would not only arrest him, but also arrest his wife and children when the time came.

It's just that later, he was frightened.

Although Zhu Gaochu treated him like a brother every day and gave him brocade clothes and jade food, the more this happened, the more scared Guo Degang became, because he saw with his own eyes a eunuch in the Han Palace, who was beaten half to death by Zhu Gaochu because of his disobedience to Zhu Gaoxu.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”

Zhu Gaoxu was happy: "Hey, you...... It's just too deep hidden, and you can't do anything, if it weren't for the fact that this king saw your medical skills of resurrection, this king almost thought that he recognized the wrong person, you masters...... No matter how much I love this, so is Master Yao Guangxiao. ”

Guo Degang: "......"

………………

"Sister, Sister ......"

At this time, Xu Qin carried his schoolbag on his back and returned to the Wei Mansion in a hurry.

In Xu Jingyi's boudoir, the ten-year-old child smiled and said happily: "Sister...... Do you know, big brother Zhang Anshi...... They're out of the school. ”

This boudoir looks simple, Xu Jingyi is sitting in front of the dresser, but she is staring intently at the small window facing the dresser.

Her skin was as white as snow, her side face was like a goose egg, her long eyes opened and closed, with the resentment of a girl, and when she heard the voice of her brother Xu Qin, she turned around and said, "Okay, I don't want to hear it." ”

Xu Qin said with a look of worship: "Ah, you don't know yet, you definitely don't know, Sister, you must admire it." ”

Xu Jingyi said: "......"

Xu Qin didn't seem to be able to see his sister's lack of interest at all, and said like a cannon: "Brother Zhang, how many of them...... Running to learn, Master Hu said that they have already learned something, especially Brother Zhang, he has learned five cars, and there is nothing to teach Brother Zhang in the future. ”

Xu Jingyi frowned slightly: "Didn't you say that they often don't go to school?" How can you be more knowledgeable than Master Hu? ”

Xu Qin's eyes were shining, and he said with admiration: "So, this is the strength of Brother Zhang, he can be both literate and martial, with a few brothers, he works for the heavens all day long, and his knowledge can be improved every day, do you say it is powerful?" ”

Xu Jingyi lowered her eyes and felt incredible.

Xu Qin said in a low voice at this time: "I have to tell you a secret, Zhang Anshi is Guo Degan." ”

Guo Degan?

Xu Jingyi was a little shocked.

For Guo Degan, she has an impression, her queen aunt was seriously ill at the beginning, and then she didn't know how to recover, she also went to the palace to inquire, and the queen aunt was full of praise for this Guo Degan, as if Guo Degan cured the queen's aunt.

"How is this possible, he is so young."

Xu Qin crossed his hands and said triumphantly: "How is it impossible? This is what Brother Zhang Xuan said to Liu Jin, and he also said that if Liu Jin spreads out, he will kill Liu Jin! Liu Jin said to me again, and also told me that if it spread, he would kill me. Sister, do you say that Brother Zhang is not powerful, he can cure diseases, he is also good at reading, and he can also do eighteen kinds of martial arts, who doesn't know that the eldest brother of the three fierce brothers in the capital can kill a cow with one punch. ”

Xu Jingyi was speechless in surprise when she heard this.

Xu Qinle said he: "Sister, you marry Zhang Anshi, teach him to be my brother-in-law, so that I will be the four murderers in the capital, otherwise, they think I am stupid and refuse to worship me." ”

When Xu Jingyi heard this, she raised her eyebrows and reprimanded, "You ...... You ......"

Seeing that her sister seemed to be angry, Xu Qin ran away.

But after a while, a grandmother walked in quickly and said, "Someone came to the palace, saying that he chose a good person for the girl......

Xu Jingyi's face turned red.

In the past few days, everyone is talking about her marriage, and her queen aunt has also sent people to run here every other day, and her daughter's family is too shy to raise her head, but the woman is in the boudoir, and she knows nothing about the outside world, so she can only be at the mercy of others.

Now that it was getting closer, she was scared like a deer.

At this time, the grandmother took a piece of red paper and handed it to her, and said, "This is the person personally selected by the queen mother, this person ...... It is said that he has great virtue, his eyebrows are clear and his eyes are beautiful, and the eight characters are also compatible with you, the girl. ”

Seeing Xu Jingyi hanging her head and not speaking.

Mama looked like a person who had come over, smiled, and continued: "The queen mother said, if the girl is satisfied, it is settled, and in two days, this person will be summoned to the palace to meet him, so that His Majesty and the queen mother can meet, if it is not ...... Choose another one. ”

Xu Jingyi remained silent.

Mama said: "This person's name is also good, called Guo Degang, you see, there is virtue and masculinity." ”

"Guo Degan?" Xu Jingyi was slightly stunned, and there was suspicion on her pretty face.

Mama said, "Yes, is the girl dissatisfied with this name?" ”

Xu Jingyi played with the corners of her clothes in embarrassment, and stopped talking.

"Girl, you have to give the old body a word of accuracy, and the old body has to go back to life."

Mama urged again and again.

Xu Jingyi said in a voice as low as a mosquito: "It's all up to my aunt." ”

Mama suddenly smiled, accepted the red paper, and said, "Great joy, great joy, girl, the old body has gone back to life." ”

The mama is gone.

Xu Jingyi propped her chin in front of the dressing table, looking out of the window stupidly, full of distracting thoughts, and a pair of clear eyes, but at this time it seemed to be covered with a layer of fog.

…………

The next day, Zhang Anshi was called to the East Palace by the crown princess Zhang.

As soon as Zhang saw Zhang Anshi, he said, "Tomorrow I will wear new clothes and enter the palace with your brother-in-law and me." ”

"Why?" Zhang Anshi was puzzled.

Zhang smiled and said: "The girl of the Xu family is about to get married, I heard that I have chosen a good husband, my father and mother heard that this person is very good, and the girl of the Xu family should also come down, so I ...... I want to call it into the palace to have a look. ”

"The children of the Wei Mansion are pitiful, you know about the affairs of the Duke of Wei, he competed with his father, but his father had no choice but to circle him, but these children in the Wei Mansion, those of us who are relatives, naturally have to take care of him."

Zhang Anshi said: "Oh. ”

He paused, thought about it again, but said, "But what does other people's marriage have to do with me?" ”

Zhang Anshi felt that there was nothing wrong with his problem.

When Zhang heard this, he became angry, and directly gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up, don't talk now." ”

Zhang Anshi drooped his head and sat in a row with Zhu Zhanji on the side.

Zhu Zhanji saw that he had angered his mother, so he moved away.

Zhang looked at Zhang Anshi with a very innocent look, and finally couldn't help but say, "This girl from the Xu family...... The most favored by the queen mother, taking you to take the opportunity to let you enter the palace, this is a great joy, the father and the queen mother are happy, see you, and look at you more pleasing in the future. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Anshi nodded obediently and said, "Then I know." ”

Zhang continued to explain seriously: "After you arrive, don't talk nonsense. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "What is nonsense. ”

Zhang said angrily: "Just don't scold your mother at every turn, do you think I don't know that you are rude on weekdays?" ”

Zhang Anshi drooped his head again, but said in his mouth: "No way, I learned from a bad person." ”

Zhang taught him again: "When you see that man coming, you should say auspicious words." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "What auspicious words." ”

Zhang said: "You say that you are handsome, handsome and burly, you say that you are full of economy, in short, say more festive words, and make the big guys happy." ”

Zhang Anshi suddenly realized, and said: "Now I understand, in short, it is a mustache and a horse." ”

Zhang glared at him and said, "It's not the new husband of the Xu family's girl, but when everyone is happy, let everyone be more festive, so that the queen mother will be happy when she hears it, and maybe she will favor you extraordinarily." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Don't worry, sister, I'll type a draft when I go back, memorize it, and when I see that person tomorrow, I'll recite it." ”

Zhang raised his eyebrows and couldn't help laughing: "You, do you still need to recite this?" ”

Zhang Anshi blushed and said, "Sister, you have always known me, I am shy." ”
