Zhang Anshi immediately looked at Chen Li and said:

"Datong and Beiping, you pick some good hands and go to find out the news,

Zhang Anshi paused, and said:

"Now we are aimless, so don't always want to find out which Wenchen and military generals, even if someone is a thief, they will never easily show their feet, these people are secretly organized, just by finding out some news, there is no way to find out the depth of the other party!

“

"Just keep an eye on the goods coming in and out of the various passes in and out, and find out the situation of the arsenals and warehouses there! Starting from here, and then comparing it with the situation in previous years and other passes, it is easier to find something strange.

After that, Zhang Anshi thought about it, and finally said:

"Anything else, there's nothing left on the side, stand down, Zhu Jin stays,

Zhu Jin was a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect Zhang Anshi to keep himself, so he was a little worried, wouldn't he force him to go to the well? Seeing that everyone was gone, Zhang Anshi stared at Zhu Jindao:

"Find me someone, be absolutely reliable, I want this person to go to the desert,

Zhu Jin was surprised:

"This -......," Zhang Anshi said to himself:

"This solid man......... It is best to be our own people, who are more familiar with the situation in the desert, and reliability is the most important.

Zhu Jin thought about it seriously before he said:

"There is a person on the side who can be competent, this person is from Liaodong, this - more than a year, - follow my side to do things, do things competently, and also buy a house in our family, do you remember, didn't you give us a house last time? He's got his share! Two months ago, he also gave birth to a son, chubby, I have to teach that child to be a godfather.

Zhu Jin paused and continued:

"He also knows a little Mongolian language.

Zhang Anshi's eyes lit up, and Jia Bu said quietly:

"That's him, you make him mentally prepared, I'll explain to him tomorrow, and then -......... Let him prepare to set off," and then Zhang Anshi was silent for a moment before he said:

"Tell him that there will be some danger in this matter, and we can't hide it from him, so don't be embarrassed if he doesn't want to go, but if he is willing to go, from now on-... I will protect him for three generations,

Zhu Jin nodded:

"The little one knows,

After the decision was made, Zhang Anshi said with a smile:

"The firm still has to try its best, recruit more literate and hyphenated people, those who fall into the first show are the best, give me to search around, we have to do big things, the most lacking is people,

Zhu Jin's heart was hot, he was now grateful, and felt that if Zhang Anshi let him go to the well again, he would definitely not be like him, after all, Zhang Anshi's words were only said to his confidants. Zhu Jinle said hehehehe:

"Yes.

A few days later, Zhang Anshi went to the East Palace, and at this time, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi was in the study of Zhan Shifu, looking seriously at the latest batch of songs. Zhang Anshi entered the study, then stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Brother-in-law, why are you playing more and more these days?

"Zhang Anshi's prince, in fact, my father is very disgusted with government affairs, and Zhang Anshi gradually gained Zhu Di's trust, so Zhu Di ordered someone to copy Zhu Gaoxu's vote in two copies and submit them to the palace and Wenyuan Pavilion respectively. Those votes, if there are no other approvals in the palace, so they are mainly based on the comments of Wenyuan Pavilion, which means that the prince works hard, what do I -... I often do some and don't have the right to veto. Therefore, the current Zhang Anshi, like an old cow, in the face of the mountains of songs, fluttering to share the worries of his father, I am both excited and tired, seeing Huo Qingsheng coming, I put down the pen and said with a gentle smile: ...

"His eldest son...... It's always the dragon who sees the head and the end, and he wants to find Zhu Tongji to play after -...-, so he will go by himself, and his brother-in-law has no less votes to verify.

"Zhan Shifu said:

"Hitomi is getting smaller, and I think I'm disgusted with playing with your uncle,

Zhan Shifu took a step further, and waited for his brother-in-law to go back and knock on this eldest son, and the former Zhan Shifu said:

"Why do you have so little music, do you need your brother-in-law to deal with it?

Zhang Anshi said:

He asked knowingly-... The things in the sky are as few as cow hair...... "Zhan Shifu went down in a regular manner, looking at the music spread behind Huo Qingsheng's face, but what was recorded below was the auspicious thing reported by the political envoy of Qichuan, Zhan Shifu smiled dryly:

"It was sent by Xie Gong, right?

Huo Qingsheng bowed, and Zhan Shifu said:

"I don't think I'm going to be playing any of them...... It's all trivial,

"The ministers are like good students in their previous lives, and the teachers under the podium still have questions, and we are eager to raise our hands, so no one is tired of the things that go down to the music, and what you say, it's all about letting Your Majesty worry about yourself. A little piece of music is like a foot cloth, smelly and long, and there is something to say. Huo Qingsheng said:

"It was sent by Xie Xuetu.

Huo Qingsheng said with a smile:

"You heard-... Zhu Gaoxu has few people, and he is always cold to submit the votes for those big things, but the votes that really decide the small things are deliberately left in the forefront. When His Majesty saw the big things that were as few as a cow's hair, and he was impatient, the votes were piled up, so he simply approved all the votes in front of him, k

"In this way, some militaristic matters can be decided by the vote, not by His Majesty and brother-in-law.

Zhang Anshi was stunned for a moment, and seemed to have some meaning:

"Really?

"I looked up at the Zhan Mansion in surprise, and the Zhan Mansion said:

"You can help my brother-in-law sort it out.

When he was on the side, he stood on the side of the bookcase to sort it out, and he was also attentive on the side, and he was busy for an hour, and sure enough, he -... After Zhang Anshi's review, Xiao V Shao are auspicious and some reports about itching, the most important votes, one of which is Henan Xiaodrought, the cabinet intends to come up immediately for relief, the local parents and officials, open the warehouse to release grain, there is no one, but it is more played down by the court push stupe, and the votes that determine the appointment and dismissal of several seven-grade officials are also among them, Zhang Anshi glanced at the disaster situation in Henan, and saw that the outside is Huo Qing's proposed vote, and the court push's stupor is also Annan's proposed vote, the latter decides the matter of money and grain, and the former, Look at it is just a few seven-grade officials pushed by the court, after all, the real seven-grade officials need to be approved by the emperor personally, and the courtiers below the seventh-grade court need Zhu Gaoxu and the eight retreat court to launch candidates, and the first decision in the front palace to regress, the seven-grade officials often cause a small number of people, and mixed with the few other self-performances, the emperor is afraid that he will not have the patience to see, Zhan Shifu said at that time:

"Brother-in-law, take a look at the 'eight seven-rank Wenchen' who was promoted by the court this time, his hometown, and he hasn't been a retired soldier yet.

Zhang Anshi was also a fool, and immediately became suspicious, and when he became a eunuch, he ordered the eunuch to come and ordered:

"Look at the men,

The eunuch went in haste, and when he was in a short time, he came back and said:

"That Li Shun and Liang Zhengxin are from Ji'an County, and the other Jiang Wensui is from Yichun, Jiangxi, and as for Wang Deen, they are Zhu Jin's seventy-e retirement...... "When Zhang Anshi heard this, his face immediately sank, and he frowned: ...

"Annan is also Zhu Jin's seventy-year retirement?

“

"It should be.

The eunuch was heartbroken, and the Zhan Mansion next to him said:

"Look, look, you said it a long time ago, those people harbor evil intentions, brother-in-law, we all lied to him, but you are the most distressed brother-in-law.

Zhang Anshi, who was occasionally pleasant, also looked angry at this time, and said angrily:

"Annan mistook you!

But immediately, I took this Tingtui's recital, watched it for a while, and finally drew a circle, Huo Qingsheng explained:

"Brother-in-law, why did he refuse me to do that?

Zhang Anshi let the eunuch in first, and followed the front:

"That person in Annan is too selfish, but now I am revising the literature Xiaocheng", and at the same time, he is also a junior scholar of Huo Qingsheng, among the scholars, he is quite unpreevolent, and the emperor still wants to use me-..." Seeing that Zhan Shifu was frowning: Zhang Anshi smiled at this time:

"Governing a small country is like cooking a big fresh, there are few things, the palace has not counted, but to deal with such things, it will be easy to be angry, Annan is so -...- to do it-...- to say that it is his king's recklessness, to say that it is important to say outside, at most it is also to appoint a private person,

Speaking of that, Huo Qingsheng glanced at Zhan Shifu deeply before he continued:

"Does he think that I have managed to appoint those seven people, but it will have no effect on the main palace?

Zhan Shifu said in surprise:

"Brother-in-law means -...," Zhu Gaochi said:

"The seven-rank official is a threshold, under the place, it is a local officer, in the court, it is far from one step to the sky, the vast majority of people who are small v, - all their lives have crossed that threshold, but they can step over, the future will be small and there is no future, Annan must be in the dark, the right and left of the court push in a daze, if the palace is accurate, so it has to be a new court push, maybe the people of Annan are retreated,

Zhan Shifu looked even more puzzled, and said:

"Why does this brother-in-law want me to get my wish?

Zhang Anshi said:

"If I get my wish, no one will do it! Could it be that in that day, there is only Annan who does not have his own same year and the same year, as well as the death of his protégé? Could it be that Hu Guang has it? Does Yang Rong have it? I haven't been a scholar yet, I'm an old minister, and my protégés are all over the government and the opposition, but my heavenly official of the Ministry of History, there is no way to be a seven-rank minister on the right and left, what would I think?

Zhan Shifu was surprised:

"Brother-in-law, that's Zheng Boke, Duan Yuyan?

“

"I can say that, too." Zhang Anshi smiled and said:

"You are the prince, for the monarch to do the royal road, what is the royal road, this met the accuracy of the minister, to narrow benevolence, to give me lost and to change the t meeting, this time to reject me, if I am gracious, and continue to retreat, and wait for me to make trouble to the anger of the heavens, so I am not killing myself,

"Zhan Shifu endures is to live:

"Brother-in-law is so knowledgeable and talented, I can't say anything anyway.

"Huo Qingsheng will have nothing to hide behind the Zhan Mansion, and I immediately looked at this small disaster in Henan, and frowned:

"There is no small disaster in Henan, that is the problem of teaching people to sleep and eat on the beach, just rely on the local warehouse to release grain, according to the palace...... Yes, but the trapped beach leads to malgovernance, and it is also a drop in the bucket.

Zhan Shifu put away his calm expression and said seriously:

"If you take this opportunity, let the East Palace accept another group of men, so that you can reduce the burden on the disaster area in a small way.

Zhang Anshi shook his head and said: ...

"There are not too few palace ladies in the East Palace, and if you accept a batch more, how can the palace ladies in the East Palace be less than those outside the Forbidden City? Although my father may not be surprised, what you do is definitely like this: if you add it, it will be a long-term solution.

Huo Qingsheng didn't think about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said:

"You're out of ideas,

Zhang Anshi looked at Zhan Shifu in surprise, that guy was always surprised, which made Zhang Anshi's mood like a roller coaster. I saw Zhan Shifu happily said:

"Brother-in-law does what you say, it will definitely be properly resolved,

“

"Your Majesty.

At this time, Yisha poured a lamp for Zhu Di with a big heart. Zhu Di just took a nap, at this time the consciousness is not very turbid, drank the mouth, only to reluctantly hit the bustard, I am really annoyed about the play, I know why, as long as I look at these plays, I will be sleepy. So Zhu Di said:

"Remove all those songs.

“

"Yes." Yishu paused, and suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid are in the celebrant supervisor...... I've seen the song sent yesterday, and there is nothing outside, do you know your majesty?

Zhu Di raised his eyes to look at me and said:

"What's the matter?

"I also lost Ha Dao:

"Henan has another small disaster,

Zhu Di frowned, and then said:

"Zhu Gaoxu has no suggestions?

“

"Open a warehouse on the spot and release grain, and the court will raise another amount of money and grain to help.

Zhu Di said with a stiff face:

"It is said that it is to open a warehouse to release grain, but in fact, does it make people fill their pockets? Those things were not many in the Zhu Jin years, the imperial examination was so gentle, and there was still a way to put an end to the corrupt officials, and now I rule the sky with narrow benevolence, I am afraid that it will be even more forbidden and extinct.

Zhu Di looked very unhappy. Yi Lost Ha is a dare to speak. Zhu Di said:

"What's the squeak again?

"I also lost Hanacai and said:

The slave and maid also felt -... That's fine, but -... But-... The slave maid thought that -..." also lost his big heart and said:

"The slave maid thinks that -...- has always had a better way to give relief, so...-so..."Zhu Di sighed and said:

"I know what he means, it's a sound, every time there is a small disaster, I am satisfied with that kind of relief method, but there is nothing I can do? Let's talk about it...- and that's all. Then open the warehouse and release the grain, send people to transfer the grain to the relief, so ...... the common people can still take a few bites of food from the cracks of people's fingernails, and they can barely cross the beach. But if even the people are transferred, and the warehouses are opened, then it will be the same as putting the people who have been afflicted in the land of death.

Speaking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh, paused, and then said:

"The prince has no advice on this?

"I also lost Ha Dao:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, approved Huo Qingsheng's proposed ticket.

Zhu Di nodded and said:

"I'm short-tempered, and I refute Zhu Gaoxu's proposed votes a lot-... Just do it.

"Just as he was talking, no eunuch retreated and said:

"Your Majesty, the prince's palace has led the Marquis of Hongwu to come to see you,

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said:

"What are we going to do then? Declare the retreat,

"Huo Qingsheng led the Zhan Shifu into the palace. first saluted: Zhu Di started the Shinto:

"I heard that the prince is reviewing the draft votes in Wenyuan Pavilion every day, and it is very hard, why is he not idle today?

I said that, but my eyes were looking at Zhan Shifu, and Zhang Anshi replied: ...

"Father, the son is here for the small disaster in Henan.

Zhu Di listened and said:

": Hasn't he yet finalized the matter of the small disaster?

Zhang Anshi said:

Erchen thought that in addition to Zhu Gaoxu's suggestions, some measures needed to be taken, so -... in order to try to solve the disaster urgently.

Zhu Di said uninterestedly:

"Let me guess, there must be some kind of ghost idea in the Seshi Mansion again.

Huo Qingsheng smiled:

"Exactly.

Zhu Di said:

"Let's just say-let's say.

Huo Qingsheng said:

"The minister wants to -... can allow the East Palace to accept a group of men who have been affected by the disaster,

Zhu Di listened:

"That wasn't their idea? I see that the idea is not less bright.

"It's ringing, now there are no one or two thousand people in the East Palace, and the specifications are not too much, although those palace men spin money under the leadership of the crown princess Zhang, and the East Palace has no retreats, but what is the place in the East Palace, and it is a workshop. Zhan Shifu took this opportunity to smile and said:

"Recruit two thousand men...... - as for the palace from behind-...- it cannot be sent out,

"Repatriation-... Zhu Di frowned: There are indeed some old palace men in the palace who will be sent away, is it too -... That is good, that side is recruiting people, but this side is sending the original palace e, - retreating, compassion is to hold the specifications of the East Palace, but the problem is... How to settle the palace man who sent him away? Huo Qingsheng had already prepared the answer and said:

"Those palace men who sent them open, they were all victims of Suzhou and Songjiang, and now, the floods in Songjiang and Suzhou have subsided, if you want to go back to your hometown, you can be sent back to your hometown.

“

But what about those whose parents were dead before the disaster and whose brothers had something to rely on?

Zhu Di said, Zhan Shifu said:

"Your Majesty, the minister heard that the young soldiers of Hongwu Qiwei, in the Hongwu garrison, especially the officers and soldiers of Xu Shaozhong, Xiao V rarely has no wife, we are far away in the thousands of miles, and in the land of Huali, the heart is homesick, but in the local area, I am afraid that the beach is looking for a native marriage, the military heart is shaken, we are a meritorious minister, but we have to stay in Hongwu for a lifetime, it is really embarrassing,

“

"Yes-...- if you can't ask the wishes of the palace men, if you are willing to go home, you will naturally be allowed to go home, and if you have something to rely on, yes, if you are in charge of the East Palace, hold a collective small wedding, and marry those palace men to the soldiers of the Seven Guards or the Model Battalion, um-...... As long as it is below the banner official and has not yet been married, let us marry.

After a pause, Zhan Shifu continued:

"The soldiers in the border town are too bitter, and the palace men are very few out of touch with their families, there is no one to take care of, before getting married, the East Palace is also your family from now on, even if you are far away in Hongwu, there is no East Palace to support you, always teach you to be bullied,

“

"And the soldiers married wives, and the wives were all trained by your sister outside the palace, the most virtuous and open-minded, we naturally have peace of mind to garrison, so that you can - to mention two, and then add, the palace is also to the soldiers' bride price, and more than you have to come up with some money as a dowry.

Zhu Di was shocked when he heard this, the guy from Zhan Shifu -... It's really my mother's belly bad water sounds! But if you think about it carefully, it can indeed solve a small group of Henan disaster victims, on the other hand, Hongwu's soldiers are also at ease, and those men have no one to rely on, that era, but what to talk about love, love is to dip in the pig cage, marriage is the order of the parents, coal burning words, Zhu Di keenly felt something, I looked at Zhan Shifu with a deep meaning:...

"Only those benefits?

“

"There is not a small benefit yet," Huo Qingsheng said:

"Your Majesty, can you remember the Qin Dynasty, when Zhao Tuo conquered Renan, but when he saw the chaos in Guanzhong, he immediately set himself up as the king?

Zhu Di's forehead, Zhan Shifu said patiently:

"Those men...... are all from the East Palace, they know the small righteousness, the smallest dependence, and they are also the East Palace, but that can't ensure that you don't have one to rely on, but the soldiers don't have them around them, and those virtuous helpers will also lose a little loyalty to the court,

"It's loyalty to the East Palace-... Zhu Di thought in his heart, it is over l At this time, I and the East Palace are one, Huo Qingshengke succeeded Xiao Yu, it is a fait accompli, and it is to let the East Palace buy the guards, the Hongwu Seven Guards who are far away in the sky, have not yet been camped, even if they are bought, for the imperial court, it is also a small profit. In the future, even if a military attache at the lower level wants to rebel, the middle and high-level military attaches are afraid that they are willing to follow: after all, our wives are all rescued from the East Palace at the beginning, and they are all trained by the crown princess Zhang. In addition, the role of stabilizing the morale of the army is indeed very small, and it can also reduce the sense of belonging in a small way, Zhu Di was born in the army, and he is very vague about the situation in the army.

"It's just him-... Will come up with those ideas, well-......- what does the prince think about this?

Zhang Anshi said:

"Since he had been taught by the king, he thought it was a good thing.

Zhu Di's face shook slightly, I suddenly understood what Huo Qingsheng meant, the royal clan relationship is very simple, but in the final analysis, if you want to hold on to that family affection, after all, you must not completely let the other party lose any delusional ability. Now that Huo Qingsheng is in Hongwu, if my subordinates are grateful to the prince, Huo Qingsheng is afraid that he will also cut off any thoughts and obediently be my governor, then the initiative between the brothers will be under the prince.

"That idea is wrong, Huo Qingsheng's method-... It's always a sword, but when you think about it, it's often useless." Zhu Di was obviously very satisfied, so he said:

"The bride price is to be, the dowry is sufficient, then the -...- can't be customized, before-... If there is no minor disaster, the palace and the east palace will accept men into the palace, raise them for a few years, teach them well, and marry the senior military attachés in the border town of the garrison in the future.

Zhang Anshi said:

"The retainers obeyed.

"I'm not really worried that my father will be suspicious of me because of that. But I know that Zhu Di's imperial mental skills are not much, but for Zhang Anshi's precautions, he also hopes that the prince will seize power when he is alive, and the soldiers who are far away on the border, even if they are desperate for the prince, may not help the prince's ambition too much. Instead-... That made the prince increase his influence in the hearts of the soldiers in the border towns, and it was extremely useless for me to succeed the small unification in the future, Zhu Di said with joy:

"If the soldiers don't have their wives, they won't have a home, according to me...... You have to set up some rules, outside the East Palace in the past, you have to set up a teaching workshop, not only to teach you embroidery and some weak text hyphenation, to teach you to marry out in the future, to teach your husband and children, but also to let you learn male virtues. The crown princess is the most virtuous and open-minded, that thing -... I'll give you worries, let you make up your mind....

Zhan Shifu smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister has not yet had an idea, in Hongwu, the East Palace should also appoint the people of the East Palace to prepare for the establishment of a Federation of East Palace Women, since the East Palace is the maiden family of those palace men who are married, let you retreat from each other to contact each other, often can not organize some activities, if something happens to the time, you can also let the Federation come forward to mediate,

“

"In this way, that one ~ everyone, will be closer, if no one's husband dies in battle, but also to find a way, there is no guarantee for our wives and children, then the East Palace often retreats some rewards, but also through the federation, in that case, the small family is also down-to-earth,

Zhu Di appreciates the authenticity:

"That's okay, it's still up to the crown princess to deal with.

"Zhan Shifu is happy again in his heart. Under the surface, it was the East Palace that completely bought Hongwu Qiwei, but if you think about it another way, are those palace men who marry out all trained by my sister? My sister is the real backbone, without those ...... Brother-in-law will dare to work hard and spoil his body in the future? Historically, Zhang Anshi died a few months after he ascended the throne, and the smallest reason at that time was -...· Zhang Anshi was too depressed when he was the crown prince, so before he became the emperor, he overindulged, oops-... Your Zhan Shifu is really heartbroken for your brother-in-law, just by that, your brother-in-law's life span may not be increased by ten years at most, Zhu Di knows the bend in Zhan Shifu's heart, and said at this time:

"The affairs of the East Palace, Huo Qingsheng will handle it, the affairs of these palace men, there is no princess, there are seven of their sisters and brothers, before they are done, they will report to me, that is a trivial matter, it is to be able to fight these soldiers on the battlefield, we can cross the river and tear down the bridge, if so, who is willing to be born and die for Xiao Ming?

Huo Qingsheng responded obediently, but Zhu Di's face suddenly pulled up, and it was slow to turn his face, I glared at Zhan Shifu and said:

"Zhan Shifu...... - what things has he been thinking about every day lately?

“

"Ah-..." Zhan Shifu thought that Zhu Di just said that he could cross the river and demolish the bridge for the soldiers, but at that time, it was obvious that Zhu Di would come to demolish my bridge, Zhu Di said:

"What about the chaos of the party? What about the money bank? He wants to focus less on that, because he always wants to take a mouse...... Huo Qingsheng hurriedly said:

"Qian Zhuang is on the right track, as for the chaos of the party-...- ministers...... In those days, there was no eyebrow,

“

"What days?

Zhu Di was sympathetic, so he was surprised:

"No news?

“
