Zhang Anshi saw Zhu Gaosui's sincere appearance, so he also smiled and said: "His Royal Highness King Zhao has been in Beijing for so many days, and I didn't go to visit, the crime of ten thousand deaths." ”

Zhu Gaosui said with a smile: "Although you and I are usually unfamiliar, we have been friends for a long time, this king will go to see his father first, and next time, I will definitely get drunk with you." ”

Zhang Anshi sighed, staggered with Zhu Gaosui, and parted ways with each other.

The next day, Zhu Gaochi asked Zhang Anshi to meet in the East Palace.

After the two met, he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking a little irritated.

Then he frowned and said, "Jinyi Wei commands the envoy...... Father is trying to teach you to be a cool official, and it's not a good thing to have blood on your hands. ”

Leading troops to fight is different from Jinyiwei, the general is fighting foreign enemies and rebels, but Jinyiwei is different, it is specifically aimed at a group, and this group has an unparalleled right to speak in the Ming Dynasty.

For Zhang Anshi to have another position, Zhu Gaochi was not happy at all, and even said worriedly: "Anshi, my father is going to make you a person like Ji Gang." ”

Zhang Anshi looked at his brother-in-law's nervous appearance, and while he was moved, he was relieved: "Brother-in-law relax, I won't be a discipliner." ”

Zhu Gaochi sighed and said: "I still want to play, please ask my father to take back his order, even if it is to transfer you to other guards, except Jinyi Wei...... It's really worrying. ”

Zhang Anshi didn't say anything, he felt that his brother-in-law might not know his father very well, and what his emperor's father had decided was not something that could be easily changed.

Zhu Gaochi said again at this time: "That Master Zheng ......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Gaochi asked Zhu Zhanji to be called.

Zhu Zhanji looked like a mourner.

Zhu Gaochi said to him: "You have heard about it, right?" ”

Zhu Zhanji said sullenly: "Erchen heard that Master Zheng is too miserable, I heard that his family of twenty-seven, only sixteen survived, and I heard that ......"

Zhu Gaochi sighed and said, "Hey...... It's a pity ......."

Zhang Anshi said: "Brother-in-law, think about the benefits, Master Zheng has always hoped to share his worries for His Majesty on weekdays, but this time, won't he fulfill his wish?" ”

Zhu Zhanji twitched and said: "Yes, Master Zheng says every day that to be a minister, you have to go to the soup for your father, the family and the country, and there is nothing more important in the world than Sheji." For the whole society, even if he is broken bones, he did not expect that he sacrificed to such a point in order to rebel, and when his son grew up, he wanted to build a shrine for him to show his merits. ”

Zhu Gaochi: "......"

After a pause, Zhu Gaochi gritted his teeth in anger and said, "That Ji Gang...... is so vicious that the father still keeps this person. Such a cool official will be punished by the palace in the future. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Yes, yes, Ji Gang is not a thing, brother-in-law...... I think Your Majesty asked me to go to Jinyiwei, maybe just so that I could check and balance the discipline. ”

"Really?" Zhu Gaochi twisted his eyebrows and said, "In this way, the palace is even more worried." You're so young, and this man is cruel and killing, and you're ...... dehumanizing."

"Father, don't worry." Zhu Zhanji said: "Although my uncle's hair has not grown, my uncle has always said that to be a man is to be better to good people and more treacherous to traitors, and my uncle is ...... Master Zheng."

Zhang Anshi hurriedly covered his mouth.

Zhu Zhanji struggled to break away from Zhang Anshi's hand, and then said: "Uncle will not suffer Ji Gang's loss." ”

Zhu Gaochi said: "What do you know at a young age? ”

Zhang Anshi was busy diverting the topic and said, "Brother-in-law...... I think...... Master Zheng was too sad, and he was afraid that it would not be appropriate for him to come to Zhan Shifu to teach Zhan Ji to study. ”

"Huh?" Zhu Gaochi glanced sideways at Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi patiently explained: "Not to mention that so many people have died in his family, he is heartbroken at this time, and he is afraid that he has no heart to teach Zhanji." And I've heard people say that if a person encounters a great change, it will inevitably go berth, and if it's not good for Junji, it's ......."

Zhu Gaochi said with a slight hesitation: "If this is the case, won't it become a stone?" This is not a gentleman's doing. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "You can let him rest at home, the money and rewards that should be given are not less at all, he has to do funerals, and he has to remember his wife and children, but I am afraid that he will not have time to come." ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded: "In this matter, I will tell my father." ”

Finally got out of Zhu Gaochi, Zhang Anshi breathed a sigh of relief, saw Zhu Zhanji following him, and turned around and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

Zhu Zhanji opened a pair of bright big eyes and said, "Uncle, Master Zheng is so miserable. ”

Zhang Anshi stopped and smiled: "Yes, Ji Gang is too hateful. ”

Zhu Zhanji still looked at Zhang Anshi with blazing eyes, and said, "But I think this should be my uncle's fault." ”

Zhang Anshi was furious: "My God, whose nephew are you?" Why do you turn your elbow outward at such a young age? It is said that nephews are like uncles, but how can a kind person like uncle ......?"

Zhu Zhanji tilted his head, but said, "Sure enough, my uncle did it." ”

Zhang Anshi instead put away Fang Cai's fierce expression and said calmly: "How can you see it?" ”

"When my uncle is weak-hearted, he has to be shocked like this, as if the sky is falling."

Zhang Anshi: "......"

"I just tested my uncle, but I didn't expect my uncle to stop recruiting himself."

Zhang Anshi looked left and right, and then said, "Can't you be quiet?" ”

Zhu Zhanji sat on a plate of stone piers, dangling his feet on the high stone piers, and said, "But uncle, why do you want to harm Master Zheng?" ”

"I didn't hurt him." Zhang Anshi said with a serious face: "I'm here to save him." ”

"Save him?" Zhu Zhanji blinked.

Zhang Anshi said: "His son, as well as his relatives, rely on him to be your master, and he is rampant in the capital, and he is more fierce than us...... No, it's the four evils or the bad, it can be said that the evil is full of evil, sooner or later, he will be harmed by his son and relatives, you see it's good now, these people are either dead or crippled, and they can't harm him, but it's not for his good? ”

Zhu Zhanji frowned his head and began to fall into deep thought again.

Reason seems to be such a reason, that is......

Taking advantage of Zhu Zhanji's pondering efforts, Zhang Anshi had already run away in a puff of smoke, and only dropped one sentence: "Good nephew, uncle still has official business, goodbye." ”

"The Great Luo of the Worlds"

…………

Zhu Jin was called by Zhang Anshi again.

Zhang Anshi said: "How are you preparing?" ”

"The man has been found, but ...... There are still many things that Hou Ye has explained, let them learn it, Hou Ye rest assured...... Within three to five days, it can be done. ”

Zhang Anshi nodded: "Hey, it's not easy for you, when this is done, I will grant you half a day off, you take a rest, don't be tired of yourself, pay attention to your body." ”

It is rare for Zhang Anshi to ask for warmth like this, Zhu Jin was a little moved: "I can serve the Hou Ye, and the little one is willing to go to the soup and fire......"

Zhang Anshi said: "Don't be verbose, hurry up and work, and don't let the people you find make mistakes." In addition, you are also going to the Qianzhuang today, now is a good time for our Qianzhuang to expand, and you can't miss it. Oh, and the shipping side......... Some accounts don't seem to be right, you finish the matter of the bank, and go and deal with it by the way. ”

Zhu Jin nodded: "Yes, yes...... Small...... The small one must do its best. ”

Zhang Anshi sighed again: "You must feel that you are very hard, but what can you do, you are my right-hand man, I can't do without you." ”

Zhu Jin suddenly had high morale: "If a soldier dies for a confidant, just for that, the small one is willing to die." ”

After giving Zhu Jin chicken blood, Zhang Anshi once again returned to the dungeon set up in this mansion.

Here, Qianhu Chen Li was personally sentenced.

And Lu Zhen almost confessed.

Even Chen Li couldn't help but be a little suspicious, and when he saw Zhang Anshi coming, he said: "Master Hou, I think he should confess everything, but I really can't ask anything else." ”

Zhang Anshi frowned and shook his head, "No, I think there should be something hidden." ”

Chen Li said: "Yes, there must be something hidden, Master Hou, you go to rest, and the little keeper teaches him to speak,"

Zhang Anshi glared at him and said, "You don't use the same set in Jinyiwei to come to the lake to get me, it's useless to beat me into a trick." ”

Chen Li was greatly embarrassed.

Zhang Anshi said: "Clean him, eat something, and I'll talk to him." ”

Half an hour passed.

In a small hall, Lu Zhen, who looked haggard, was invited, he could barely stand still, and the two lieutenants helped him to sit down.

Zhang Anshi said: "Pour him tea." ”

A lieutenant brought tea.

Zhang Anshi sighed and said: "Why are you so hard, the dignified Ministry of Etiquette is still in this situation." ”

"Willing to gamble." Lu Zhen said with a depressed face: "Now I just want to die quickly." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "You still have something hidden in your heart, if you say it, confess and be lenient, I will definitely play Your Majesty, at least ...... You can protect your family. ”

Lu Zhen listened, but was unmoved: "These words, if they are said to others, maybe they will believe it, but ......... Master Hou, do you think the old man will believe it? ”

He closed his eyes and continued, "When the old man happened to the east window, he knew about it...... All luck is gone, it's just a difference in how you die. What's more, the old man has already said what he should say, why should the Hou Ye be so hard? ”

Anyone who listened to Lu Zhen's words at this time couldn't help but be emotional, because he choked up and said it, it seems that Chen Li's methods are indeed extraordinary.

Zhang Anshi said, "Really? In this way, when you were in Beiping, you colluded with the Mongol-Tatar Ministry through mutual markets, who were the people who came into contact with you? ”

Lu Zhen said: "Benjamin Khan of the Tatar Department, he has long had the great ambition of unifying Mongolia and restoring the Northern Yuan, so he heard that there are many great Yuan relics like the old man in the Central Plains, he is very happy, and secretly gave the old man a lot of rewards, and promised to make me the right prime minister of Zhongshu in the future." ”

Zhang Anshi looked at Lu Zhen with a smile and said: "You confessed that many people are your comrades, and these comrades have not wronged them, they have also confessed, they are willing to support Qianyuan and serve the Tatar Ministry......... But I think there are some things that you didn't say. ”

Lu Zhen said: "The old man has reached this point today, what else can't be said?" The dying man, his words are also good, why did the Hou Ye persecute here. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "How did you raise the silver?" ”

"On the one hand, it is secretly exporting some pig iron and tea to the desert, and the desert side supplies us with furs, so as to make some benefits. Besides...... That is, the Tatar department has some wealth in hand, and is willing to make a strong name for the old man. ”

"They have so much silver?" Zhang Anshi sneered.

Lu Zhen said: "The little things add up to a lot, and the old man takes care of the accounts, and the people below are all in charge." ”

Zhang Anshi sighed and said, "You must have heard of me." ”

Lu Zhen nodded: "I have heard of the name for a long time." ”

Zhang Anshi stood up: "Maybe many people outside here have misunderstood me...... They all think that I, Zhang Anshi, am not a good person. ”

"Of course, there are people outside who are jealous of me and spread false rumors."

When Zhang Anshi said this, he actually became very serious, for a dying person, Zhang Anshi didn't need to tell a lie, he sighed again: "But in fact, I am really kind-hearted, I can't see blood, and I can't see anything too tragic in the world." ”

"Even ...... Even if a rebel like you is executed, of course, it will be self-inflicted, but in my opinion, it is not the same as being tortured to death when someone sins and loses his head, and I can't bear to have such a miserable thing happen in the world, so I am different from Ji Gang and them. Just ......"

Zhang Anshi paused here, and suddenly his face began to become unpolite, his voice was a little higher-pitched, and he looked at Lu Zhen coldly and said: "It's just that there is a limit to my kindness, if you are still obsessed and unrepentant until now, then ...... Lu Zhen, let me tell you, you will die a miserable death, there are some things that you can't imagine, I hope you will do it yourself! ”

Lu Zhen lowered his head and was silent.

Zhang Anshi didn't say anything more, Tie Qing's face turned blue, and walked out.

Coming out of this small hall, Zhang Anshi found himself sweating, this is an indescribable feeling, he has always been pure and kind, but somehow, at the moment of the moment, deep in his heart, there was a little anger.

"Hey...... Jinyiwei is really not a human doing, you have to teach people to go to the temple to send a few hundred taels of sesame oil money, if you don't send some silver to the Buddhas, you always feel unsteady.

…………

Confucius temple.

In the mansion.

The sound of the piano gradually rose.

The sound of this piano is like the flowing water of the mountains, and the sound of the gurgling water is slow, as if it is accompanied by the breeze, and even in this mansion, there is a little more aura.

Just then, someone walked in: "I heard ......"

The sound of the piano came to an abrupt end.

Then...... The person who played the harp had a look of anger on his face.

The visitor took a step back in fear and kept silent.

The person who played the piano seemed to be trying to continue stroking, but unfortunately...... After trying the timbre, I finally sighed: "I'm confused, don't play, what's the matter?" ”

"Jin Yiwei's side, I'm uneasy."

"It's something that's been known for a long time." The person who played the piano said: "It's not difficult to guess that Ji Gang is a person...... It's very interesting, he is really a person who doesn't admit defeat, is that new acquaintance called Deng Wu? ”

"Yes, it's this person."

The person who played the piano said: "This person is a mediocre talent, it is impossible for Zhu Di not to know ......"

"Such a mediocre talent, promoted to Tongzhi...... It can be seen that Zhu Di is no more than Erer. ”

The person who played the piano shook his head and said: "You are wrong, this person is just Zhu Di's chess piece, Ji Gang is a chess piece, and so is this person." Do you know what a chess piece is? The role of chess pieces, in addition to achieving their own goals, is that they can be discarded at any time. Zhu Di doesn't care who is the same acquaintance. What he wanted...... It is to break the intertwined joints in the current brocade guard, so as to ...... for the future Someone he truly trusts clears the way. ”

"It's the villain Hutu, it seems that Ji Gang and Deng Wu are also Hutu, and now they ...... I don't even know that Zhu Di has a bad heart, if they are like you......"

The person who played the piano smiled and said: "You are wrong, Ji Gang is also a hero, as for that Deng Wu, he can gain Ji Gang's trust step by step and become the commander of Jinyiwei. It's just that no matter how smart a person in this world is, once he is in the chess game, he will inevitably be confused by the authorities. Didn't Ji Gang know that His Majesty had changed him? No, he knew better than anyone else, but even at this point, he wanted to gamble. The more he thinks he might become an outcast, the more he struggles to survive, and the more he feels danger, the more he will take risks and make desperate bets. ”

"It's not about being smart or not, it only matters about human nature, the person who falls into the water, knowing that the straw that floats over is useless, but so what, he will still desperately hold on, is this person who falls into the water also stupid? No, this is Zhu Di's power, don't look at him recklessly, he will kill people at every turn, but if you really become his opponent, he will not cut the mess quickly, but will always put you in a state of falling into the water, teach you to want to live again and again, and then do one stupid thing after another, until everything is irreparable, and when you really die, look back on this terrible process, and realize how stupid you are. ”

"The person who knows Zhu Di best in the world may be you."

"Know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles." The man's hand was on the strings, and he gently plucked it, and listened to the sound of the piano with his ear sideways, and said, "If you want to achieve great things, if you don't even have this, how can you succeed?" Now, there is no turning back, pass the order down, do it as soon as possible! Success or failure is in this move, taking advantage of the fact that Jinyiwei is now caught in infighting, and while Zhu Di still thinks that he has wiped out the so-called chaotic party, now is the best time. ”

"Yes."

The person who played the piano said, and his face was tired: "Within ten days, everything will be visible, hey...... In fact, if it weren't for Lu Zhen's revelation, I really didn't want to come to this point. ”

He shook his head and smiled wryly.

………………

"Your Majesty."

He hurried into the temple.

Zhu Di was sitting upright at this time, carefully reviewing the recital.

When he heard Yishuha's voice, he looked up and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Yishu said: "There is Zhang Anshi's recital. ”

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows slightly: "Huh? Qixia's side, what's going on? ”

Yisha said: "There is no movement. ”

Zhu Di frowned lightly and said, "Didn't you continue to follow the vine and catch people?" ”

"Nope." Yisha replied honestly.

Zhu Di nodded and said thoughtfully: "Is it ...... This Qin Eucalyptus is just me and Zhang Anshi's heart, all of this is just Lu Zhen's doing? ”

Of course, Zhu Di was obviously not asking about Yifuha, but dripping.

Because of this fact, Lu Zhen looked like a person who couldn't survive the punishment, and it was impossible for him to pry his mouth open.

Zhu Di lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then looked up at Yishu and said, "Take the music." ”

Immediately, Yisha stepped forward.

Zhu Di opened it and muttered, "This kid ......"

"Your Majesty...... It's ......"

Zhu Di smiled, handed the song to Yishuha, and said, "See for yourself." ”

Yisha nodded, tiptoed to take the note, opened it, and saw that the note was written...... A key clue has been found, but it's just ...... I hope to enter the palace to judge, and I hope that His Majesty will give up a side hall and arrange it by the thousands of households, and then it will be clear.

Zhu Di looked at Yishu and said, "This guy is fucking playing tricks again...... How can I be with Master Yao, and return that Jin Zhong a virtue! ”

Yisha didn't dare to talk, you know, there was no one here he didn't want to provoke.

Zhu Di said at this time: "Spread my message, I am accurate, tell Zhang Anshi's kid that tomorrow, as soon as the palace door opens, he will be allowed to arrange it in the annex building next to this martial tower." ”

Yisha hurriedly said respectfully: "The slave obeys the order." ”

Zhu Di said again: "Since the truth is going to come out, then let Ji Gang and Deng Wu of Jinyiwei also come to take a look, let them learn well, and summon them too." ”

The corners of Yishiha's mouth slightly hooked up a smile, and a trace of deep meaning inadvertently flashed in his eyes, and then he flashed away, and said honestly: "The slave obeys the order." ”

…………

Last night, Zhang Anshi had a good night's sleep.

When I wake up, I feel energized.

At this time, before dawn, Zhu Yong and Zhu Jin were already waiting outside.

Zhang Anshi hurriedly washed up, and after getting dressed, he came out of his residence and said with a smile: "Haha...... I didn't expect you to get up earlier than me, Zhu Jin, but you're all ready, right? ”

Zhu Jin hurriedly said: "According to your orders, you are ready." ”

Zhang Anshi looked at Qianhu Chen Li again: "Then has Lu Zhen cultivated enough spirits?" ”

Chen Li said: "I have already cultivated my spirit. ”

Zhang Anshi bowed his head with satisfaction: "Okay, very." Seeing everyone's efforts, I, Zhang Anshi, am really excited, the so-called tiger brothers, father and son soldiers, really their own family is reliable, and the sky is also very good today, I can't help but make a big deal in poetry, Lu Zhen, who entered his mother, has to break his body into ten thousand pieces today. ”

Zhu Jin and Chen Li, as well as Zhu Yong, looked at Zhang Anshi solemnly one by one, listening attentively.

But seeing that Zhang Anshi had not moved for a long time, Zhu Jin said cautiously: "Master Hou, where is your poem?" ”

Zhang Anshi's eyes widened and said, "Haven't you already read it?" ”

"Ah......h

"In."

"Fuck."

"Lu Zhen."

"Today's ......"

"I have to take him."

"Ten thousand broken corpses."

"No!"

"This is the stream of consciousness, you are only shallow, you don't know how powerful this poem is."

Zhu Jinle was happy, and cocked his thumb: "The villain is stupid, now I have listened to your reminder Hou Ye, and only then did I realize that this poem is really shocking, it can be said that it is more ancient, Hou Ye, you don't talk about the rhythm, but there is the general uninhibited and suave of the poet Li Bai back then, especially the last sentence of the word 'can't', which is really heartwarming and unforgettable." Today's mediocre poems, compared with your poems, Master Hou, are really a heaven and an underground. ”

Chen Li held back for a long time before he said: "Good poetry, good poetry!" ”

Only Zhu Yong and Zhang Xuan seemed to have just woken up, their eyes were as big as copper bells, but unfortunately they had no beads in their eyes, and they still looked confused.

Qiu Song said expressionlessly: "Big brother, don't be verbose, do serious things." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "My fourth brother is a monkey anxious, haha......"

Zhu Jin and Chen Li both laughed dryly: "Haha......"

Qiu Song glared at them, and they couldn't laugh anymore.

Zhang Anshi said: "Okay, don't be verbose, Zhu Jin, you go and bring that person quickly." Chen Li, you enter the palace first and make arrangements. The second brother followed me, and the third and fourth brothers were on standby in the model camp, and if there was any movement in the capital, such as fireworks or wolf smoke in the sky, it would mean that I had asked for an order to transfer you into the city, and you should enter Nanjing City as soon as possible. ”

After a pause, Zhang Anshi's face was extremely serious, and he added: "Remember that it's fireworks or wolf smoke, not a fucking gunpowder explosion." ”

Zhang Xuan hurriedly said: "Oh, oh, oh, we know." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Let's go our separate ways." ”

…………

Lu Zhen was blindfolded, and then thrown into the carriage.

Since the last time Zhang Anshi interrogated him, Chen Li has not tortured him again.

He was in the dungeon, but he was in peace for a few days, and his spirit gradually returned to normal.

But he only recovered some of his spirit slightly, and the torture of the past few days not only broke his body, but also brought his spirit close to collapse again and again.

The carriage was bumpy all the way, and it was nearly an hour, and at last, the carriage stopped.

Someone escorted Lu Zhen down, and then escorted him forward.

Entered the palace......

Lu Zhen knew that the ground he was stepping on was only the masonry in the palace.

He has been in and out of this Forbidden City many times, and he has long known the difference between this masonry and stone.

But at this time, his heart was full of doubts.

Why...... Will you enter the palace at this time?

Does Your Majesty want to personally judge the royal court?

What else do they want to ask?

Countless questions came one after another.

Soon, he arrived at a place, and at this time, someone asked him to sit down.

The black cloth that covered his eyes was also removed.

Lu Zhen's eyes lit up, and he blinked a little uncomfortably, but after seeing the scene in front of him clearly, he knew that he should be in a remote hall somewhere in the palace.

Here, in addition to Zhu Yong, who escorted him, there were also several eunuchs, who were carrying out the final cleaning of this small hall at this time, and everyone lowered their heads, and no one paid attention to him.

And at this moment......

Zhu Di was standing outside the window of this side hall, not entering the hall, this position, it was not easy for the people inside to find him.

At this time, he was holding his hands behind his back, his face was solemn, and he glanced at Zhang Anshi, who was standing aside, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Your Majesty." Zhang Anshi said in a low voice: "Minister...... It's time to get your hands dirty. ”

Zhu Di bowed his head: "Do you want me to go with me?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "You can or cannot. ”

Zhu Di said impatiently: "Is that fucking okay?" ”

"Yes, yes...... Your Majesty is what he says. ”
