Chapter 243: The Pit of Death

Perhaps benefited from Zhu Yuanzhang's education.

The vast majority of Zhu Di's brothers are not wrong to say that they are dragons and phoenixes among people.

The reason why Zhu Di was annoyed was precisely because of the appearance of King Yi's thief eyebrows and rat eyes, which was too spicy for his eyes.

In fact, Zhu Di's judgment of King Yi is also correct, this guy is indeed a scumbag-like existence.

The historical King Yi, after arriving in Luoyang to become a vassal, did not like to stay in the palace, often carried a slingshot and a sword, galloped around the suburbs on horseback, and attacked the people who could not evade at every turn. His life is indulgent and unbearable, and he usually has no scruples about cutting his hair naked and mixing with men and women, and he takes pleasure in it.

The reason for this comes from his depressed life experience, coupled with the death of Empress Xu, which made him completely let go of himself.

And another factor is that after seeing his brother and nephew compete for the throne, as a witness, he knows that as a vassal king, he should not do anything at all, and it is better to live this life absurdly than to do something.

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if King Yi doesn't go overseas, I'm afraid that ...... The other kings will also be suspicious. Zhu Gaoxu and His Royal Highness King Zhao can go, that is in the eyes of the kings, after all, they are the sons of His Majesty, and they will definitely supply them with a large number of firearms and grain and grass. ”

"King Ning can go, that's because the kings know that King Ning is both civil and military, and has courage. Kings are far inferior to him. But if King Yi doesn't go, the kings can't help but feel that Your Majesty is favoring one over the other. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Di sighed and said: "I am only afraid that if this kid goes, he will die under the sword, he knows neither soldiers nor farmers, and he is better than the women of the deep palace......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Anshi coughed desperately.

Empress Xu was listening, she was very concerned about the fate of King Yi, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

Zhu Di knew that he was speechless, so he snorted and laughed: "All in all, this is a bastard, such a bastard, even in Luoyang, I am afraid that he will cause trouble, let alone other places." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty doesn't train him, how do you know that he has no talent?" It's better than this...... Let His Royal Highness King Yi leave the palace immediately, let him experience outside, and then make a decision? ”

"Experience?" Zhu Di stared at Zhang Anshi and said, "How to experience?" ”

"Let's go to the government academy." Zhang Anshi said: "His Royal Highness King Yi will go to study for a year or two, if it is really available, His Majesty will let him take the guards overseas, if it is really unusable, it is not too late to go to Luoyang." ”

Zhu Di said hesitantly: "This kid ...... If you go to the government academy, you should be prepared for whether it will ruin the atmosphere of the academy. ”

Zhang Anshi said confidently: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will be able to govern him well." ”

Zhu Di glanced at Queen Xu: "How?" ”

Empress Xu smiled: "This is the best of both worlds, the concubine is a woman, and there are some things that cannot be taught." There is nothing wrong with letting King Yi go deep into the people. Originally...... Didn't Your Majesty and King Ning also be sent to Fengyang, the central capital, by Emperor Taizu Gao, to go deep into the people, learn farming, and get close to the people? ”

Zhu Di suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "You're right, that's how it should be." ”

Actually...... The reason why it went smoothly is still a matter of national policy.

When Emperor Taizu Gao was here, he really hoped that his sons would be able to defend the emperor in various places. Therefore, I am also very dedicated to their cultivation. As Empress Xu said, at that time, Zhu Di and others were sent to Zhongdu to let them understand the suffering of the people, not only that, but also invited many Confucians, taught them literature, and ordered the generals in the army to teach them the way to lead the army.

Because of this, the vast majority of Zhu Di's generation have their own abilities.

Can be ...... thereafter When Jianwen cut the feudal domain, and then Zhu Dijing was difficult to succeed, the situation changed dramatically. When Jianwen was there, he was only afraid that he would jump to his feet, why did his imperial grandfather train his uncles one by one like tigers and leopards, why didn't he raise them as pigs?

As far as Zhu Di is concerned, he also knows that cultivating a vassal king is a great hidden danger.

Therefore, there began to be an unwritten rule, for the vassal king, if he wanted to read the Four Books and the Five Classics, or study something else, or even if you were ridiculous like King Yi, the emperor would generally turn a blind eye.

But if you are thinking about the emperor's learning such as the general knowledge of governance, or the way of leading the army, then ...... You're done.

Now it is different, what Zhu Di wants to emulate is the sub-feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty, trying to send the Zhu family members overseas to serve as vassals, give them money, food, soldiers and horses, and teach them to establish a stronghold in various parts of the world to serve the future Ming Dynasty to settle the world. If the vassal kings have no ability, not to mention being laughed at, they will inevitably lose the face of the clan.

With this Yiwang Zhu out of the palace to study as the beginning, it can be regarded as a serious opening of the curtain of the Ming clan to go to sea.

In the end, Zhu Di said: "Teach me well, if you are disobedient, you will beat him hard, you have good medical skills, and if you can't die, you will be killed." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Yes, the minister obeys the order." ”

Zhu Di sighed: "Zhang Qing, like the prince, is also a generous person." ”

After some sighing, he went to visit King Zhao again, and then he relieved his heart and led Queen Xu back to the palace together.

Zhang Anshi stayed here until the evening.

After making sure that King Zhao's wound was not inflamed, he was relieved to leave, but Princess Zhao stopped Zhang Anshi and asked Zhang Anshi to leave after dinner.

Zhang Anshi was very helpless, so he had to eat.

Princess Zhao didn't eat, after all, she couldn't share the table with Zhang Anshi, but she sat behind the curtain in the ear room and talked to Zhang Anshi.

It is reported that this Princess Zhao is also a powerful woman, at this time first thanked her, and then said worriedly: "Your Royal Highness is like this now, I don't know what to do, he has committed a heinous crime again, my father must not forgive, my life is really bitter, married to King Zhao, I thought that I would be prosperous and rich, but who would have ...... His Highness was confused for a while, and he didn't want to separate himself from his own brother, what was the result......"

Zhang Anshixin said, good guy, she is really a powerful woman.

Especially that sentence, you have to distinguish between high and low with your own brothers.

This score is equivalent to diluting the contradiction with the prince. As for biting his brother to death, of course, it means, you see...... This is a real brother, dear, who broke the bones and tendons.

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty has given permission to let His Royal Highness King Zhao go overseas to become a vassal, just like His Royal Highness's second brother." ”

After hearing this, Princess Zhao sighed even more: "This overseas must be very hard." ”

"It's hard work." Zhang Anshi didn't hide it from her, and said truthfully: "That's a place farther away than Qiongzhou, how can you not work hard?" ”

Princess Zhao seemed to be about to shed tears again, and skillfully took out a handkerchief to wipe her eyes.

But at this time, Zhang Anshi said: "It's just ...... This word hard work also scores people, Niangniang, you think, no matter how hard you work in this world, can you still suffer the prince? His Royal Highness King Ning, as well as my brother, wrote to say that the land was fertile, whether it was Annam or Luzon. Especially His Royal Highness King Ning, he has now begun to build the city, and it was a little hard in the early stage, but later, everything that should be built was also built, and the land was also distributed to the families of the guards, and now he has taken a large amount of grain and spices, and has continuously traded with the merchants, exchanging a large number of weapons and silk, porcelain, and tea in the capital."

"I heard that King Ning's palace occupies a larger area than when he was in Nanchang. Now that King Ning is there, he can't help but think about it...... After resting, he planned to continue to march and recruit the unsubscribed. That Luzon is a good place, it covers a large area, and the population is extremely large, if it can be taken down in the future, according to me, His Royal Highness King Ning will be the richest prince in the world. ”

Princess Zhao frowned and said, "King Kening is King Ning......"

Zhang Anshi understood what she meant, so he said: "The local natives have very low combat effectiveness, and many places only use bronze weapons. As long as the business house is willing to supply military supplies, as long as there is a little talent to lead the troops, you can get good results! However, the people of Annam are more fierce, and until now, there are still people who refuse to surrender, and the people in Luzon and other places are docile, and then let Confucian scholars teach them Chinese, teach them the Four Books and Five Classics, and there will be a steady stream of manpower and material resources in the future. ”

Princess Zhao still said with concern: "Your Royal Highness knows a little about the war, but ...... Civilize...... The natives ......"

Zhang Anshi smiled: "I also expected this situation, so I specially implored Your Majesty to explain the situation." After all, King Zhao is His Majesty's son-in-law, how could he not take care of it? Your Majesty said, let King Zhao point the generals, ministers of the court, but anyone who is close to King Zhao, King Zhao will draw up a list, and they can be brought with them at that time. Moreover, in order to let them follow His Royal Highness King Zhao with all their hearts, His Majesty also issued an order to unify their whole family, old and young, and set off with His Royal Highness King Zhao, you see...... Isn't that the best of both worlds? ”

"Yikes." Princess Zhao was quite surprised, she may not think that these ministers are useful, but at least she thinks that this shows that His Majesty is concerned about King Zhao, it can be seen that the relationship between father and son is still there, and even the ministers in the court are willing to do so, this is his own son.

Zhang Anshi said: "The only thing I'm worried about is that King Zhao doesn't have many close ministers to him...... If it is not close, ask someone to go, and they will definitely refuse. ”

Princess Zhao seems to feel that this matter is sensitive, but after thinking about it carefully, she is going to be a vassal, can she still manage this? At this time, if you are still secretive, it doesn't seem like words.

You must know that it is not accurate in the future, and you have to rely on Zhang Anshi Commercial Bank to provide Zhao Wang with more baggage and firearms.

So Princess Zhao said: "I heard His Royal Highness King Zhao say that there are many ministers who are good friends with him, including Zhou Yun of the Imperial History, and ...... of the Hanlin Academy."

In one breath, she reported dozens of people.

Zhang Anshi said in his heart, good guy...... This is still known to Princess Zhao, those who may not have a relationship in place, not particularly close, but afraid of more.

At this time, Princess Zhao looked at Zhang Anshi with blazing eyes and said, "Can so many people be taken away?" ”

Zhang Anshi nodded directly and said: "At this time, you must not be polite, I have never lacked ministers, but at this time, I am polite to Your Majesty, and I will be a vassal in the future...... It's too late to regret it. If it were me, I would definitely take all these good relationships with me by name, otherwise it would be difficult to ask for another concert in the future. Niangniang, you have to persuade His Royal Highness King Zhao not to miss the opportunity, after this village, there will be no such shop. ”

Princess Zhao said: "What Marquis Annan said is extremely true, it is very reasonable, no matter what, they are all born in Jinshi, and they have been officials in the court for a long time, and they have brought it, and they are more down-to-earth." But what if someone doesn't follow it? ”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Your Majesty loves King Zhao, where can you care if others are still dependent?" If a will goes on, it must be followed. ”

Princess Zhao knew it in her heart.

While speaking, Zhang Anshi had finished his meal, and said: "I still have some things to explain, His Royal Highness King Zhao...... Isn't it right to Xie Gong...... It's also ...... Very ......"

"Ah......" Princess Zhao chuckled in her heart.

This befriending an ordinary minister is not the same as befriending a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and she subconsciously wants to deny it.

But immediately, he settled down, thinking that Zhang Anshi was born in Jinyiwei after all, and these things may not be able to be hidden, so he said: "There are some friendships, which is also what His Highness told me, I don't understand the things outside, as a woman." ”

Zhang Anshi laughed and said, "If I am King Zhao, I must ask Duke Xie to go out of the mountain." ”

Princess Zhao said in embarrassment: "But he is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion...... How can His Highness ......?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Anyway, this is Your Majesty asking His Royal Highness King Zhao to order generals, but if there is anything to do, don't point it in vain, even if Duke Xie refuses to go, and tries his best to shirk it, won't His Royal Highness King Zhao have no loss?" But what if Duke Xie goes, Duke Xie is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and in the Shilin, his appeal is amazing, if he is willing to accompany King Zhao, His Royal Highness King Zhao...... When I arrived in the domain, I was afraid that the local literary scholars and the local Han people would definitely admire it. ”

"This is not only good for King Zhao to run the domain, but also...... Xie Gong, although he doesn't dare to say that his protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world, but how many people in this government and the opposition have been favored by him and promoted by him? Everyone remembers his kindness, as long as Duke Xie goes, although King Zhao is thousands of miles away in the future, it is conceivable that there are countless people in this court who say good things for His Royal Highness King Zhao. ”

Zhang Anshi finally said sincerely: "Princess, this time is not the time to be polite, we have to think about it for His Royal Highness King Zhao!" ”

Zhang Anshi's words were indeed very reasonable, and Princess Zhao was very moved when she heard it.

One dismissal is more useful than a thousand ministers.

After all, she is going thousands of miles away, if she is not worried in her heart, it is false. After all, this is not a joke, in the future, King Zhao wants to settle down outside forever, so he naturally can't wait to take what he can take away.

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "And I heard that Duke Xie also admires His Royal Highness King Zhao." I can't say, when he learned that His Royal Highness King Zhao was going to summon him overseas, he was still happy in his heart! He often told the people around him that he worked very hard in Wenyuan Pavilion, and was responsible for presiding over so many major events, and he really hoped that one day, he would be able to follow Tao Yuanming's example, find a peach blossom source, pick chrysanthemums under the east fence, and see Nanshan leisurely. Duke Xie is a master, not an ordinary person, princess, you can't guess him with the mind of an ordinary person. ”

Princess Zhao nodded and said, "What you said is reasonable, this matter is ...... I'm going to talk to King Zhao. ”

Zhang Anshi was happy, and said contentedly: "Okay, I'm full, princess, if there is nothing else, I will leave." ”

Princess Zhao got up and instructed the eunuchs around her to send a gift, and instructed: "You have to come often in the future, the prince doesn't know when he will make the trip, and when he will be able to come back, I'm afraid it's hard to say, after all, everyone is a relative, and it is once to be able to move around." ”

Zhang Anshi said, "Okay, I'll come back tomorrow to visit His Highness's injuries." ”

As he spoke, he left the Zhao Palace.

Walking out of the gate of the palace, Zhang Anshi was in a very good mood, he was glad that he had saved someone's life again, Amitabha!

After two days, King Yi was allowed to leave the palace.

Zhang Anshi personally picked him up at the noon gate.

When Yiwang Zhu saw Zhang Anshi, he smiled and said: "You still have a way, the imperial brother finally agreed to let me go out of the town overseas, haha......"

Zhang Anshi said: "It also depends on how you study, don't be verbose, let's go." ”

Zhu nodded, and he got into a big car.

Zhang Anshi also came in and said to him: "When you enter the official academy, you can't mess around, you know?" Otherwise, if I invite Your Majesty, you will suffer from it. ”

Zhu Chang blushed: "After I am Emperor Taizu Gao, how can you look down on people?" ”

Zhang Anshi admonished: "When you enter the school, you will not be after Emperor Taizu Gao, and the student registration I will give you is the son of the king of the capital surnamed Shangjia, and you will be called the king in the future." ”

Zhu Dao: "The eldest husband will not change his name, and he will not change his surname......

Zhang Anshi glared at him and said, "Shut up." ”

Zhang Anshi was still very imposing, but Zhu was shocked, so he had to say, "Oh." ”

Zhu enrolled, and he felt that everything was fresh.

was taken to Minglun Hall, took his own school card, and lived in this school.

But soon, he found out...... Not so much so here.

The rules in the school are very strict, and because it is a transfer class, the only advantage is that he is a prince after all, so the level of literacy and hyphenation is good.

But here, it's not just about literacy and hyphenation.

Everyone only thinks he is the king, and sometimes he gets proud, and when it comes to Emperor Taizu Gao and his imperial brother, he is immediately looked at sideways.

"Classmate Wang, don't mention Your Majesty at will in the future, we will call Your Majesty, and we should be called Great Grandmaster."

"He is a teacher, and I am a disciple, isn't this a disciple? No, I am brother to him. ”

Then all the people glared at him angrily.

Zhu didn't care, crossed his hands and said: "Don't be ignorant, I ...... it."

Before he could finish his sentence, someone began to roll up his sleeves.

Although fighting is strictly forbidden in the official school, as soon as it is discovered, it will be fired immediately.

But for such a legitimate reason as insulting the Great Grandmaster, you can't even see it with a lantern on weekdays.

Zhu is still very good at looking at the situation, and immediately said: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have slandered the grandmaster." ”

Zhu was isolated, but fortunately, what Zhu is best at is the isolated environment, when Emperor Jianwen was there, life was more difficult than this!

After receiving the lesson, he soon began to become low-key and modest, leading horses when riding, grinding ink for people when doing homework, and handing toilet paper to people when squatting in the thatched pit......

He blended in quickly, and it wasn't long before he really thought of himself as a king.

…………

Summer comes and goes, the weather gradually gets hotter, and when early summer comes, the ministers are lazy as soon as it is noon, so they are more in the duty room and take a nap.

King Zhao is still alive, which makes many people with good deeds start to be interested again.

It is reported that His Majesty has been particularly fond of His Royal Highness King Zhao in recent days.

In fact, this is understandable, although the will has not yet been issued, Zhu Di also knows that this son, who has just recovered from his injury, will go to sea soon.

Zheng He's fleet may return in the fall, and then after resting, if there is no accident, it will continue to sail.

When the time comes, he will take King Zhao's belongings and his guards and set off for the next stop.

After such a farewell, the father and son don't know how long it will take to see each other again.

Therefore, Zhu Di went to King Zhao's mansion to visit King Zhao almost every three or five days.

This point is well known to all officials.

All of a sudden, this Zhao Wangfu was like a city.

For ministers with a sensitive sense of smell, this may be a signal, which means that His Majesty is ...... to King Zhao Other thoughts may have arisen from it.

Of course...... It's not very likely.

But the bigger it is, the more it is an opportunity to burn the cold stove.

What if it did?

Xie Jin didn't sleep at noon, but at this time, he searched for a lot of books, which were all books he paid attention to when he was cultivating literature, and most of them were books that nourished his heart.

After tidying up, Xie Jin coughed, and a scribe walked in.

Xie Jin said: "Send these books to King Zhao's mansion ......"

The scribe said, "I don't know if you want to bring a word?" ”

Xie Jin stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I heard that His Royal Highness King Zhao has just recovered from a serious illness, and it should be the time to recuperate. ”

When the scribe heard this, he hurriedly hugged the book and hurried away.

Xie Jin smiled and watched the scribe leave.

Xie Jin is in a good mood.

His Royal Highness King Zhao...... There's still a chance.

As for giving gifts when he is seriously ill, there are also mysteries, after all, he is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and if he comes to the door in person, it will make people suspicious. Especially that Zhang Anshi, he must keep an eye on him at any time, and if he goes in to talk about something, Zhang Anshi will definitely add fuel and vinegar to His Majesty.

But if you are indifferent to King Zhao, it is not appropriate.

If you think about it, it's just a gift.

King Zhao is sick, give some gifts, and no one can find fault with it.

But there is also a mystery in gift-giving, if it is gold and silver, it will look tacky and not in line with the identity of Xie Jin.

Only sending books, not only fitting his identity as a clear stream, but also mixed with some Yongzhi books in these many books, others can't see what is famous, and they can't find anything wrong, but when King Zhao saw it, he immediately understood that this was his Xie Jin's secret encouragement to King Zhao, teaching King Zhao not to give up, and also showing his determination to be willing to work with King Zhao in the same boat.

Of course...... This is just a statement.

The most powerful thing here is that Xie Jin both expressed his stance and did not express his position.

King Zhao succeeded, that is, he supported him with all his might, and when His Highness was seriously ill, he still refused to let His Highness give up hope.

And if King Zhao fails......

What? I just gave him a few books, and I didn't say anything.

The mystery in this is really wonderful.

He couldn't help but be complacent about his wisdom.

So Xie Jin lowered his head, but found a book of notes.

This book, in fact, is no different.

Can it be ...... But it was Zhang Anshi who went up.

Xie Jin became interested, because Zhang Anshi is Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei has the right to play secretly.

It stands to reason that in fact, Zhang Anshi's recital can be done without going through Wenyuan Pavilion.

But if he passes by Wenyuan Pavilion with great fanfare, the only possibility is that this is a statement by Zhang Anshi, which is to let the world know about it, and implore the emperor or the court to agree.

Xie Jin picked up the note, but saw that it said "Scrap Money and Coin Sparse".

Scrap money minting?

Xie Jin couldn't help frowning.

Scrapping banknotes is easy to understand, that is, scrapping Daming treasure banknotes......

Good guy, Zhang Anshi is really ruthless, this is to abolish the treasure money system set by Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty!

Although now, the Daming treasure banknote basically exists in name only, and no one in the market is willing to accept this thing.

But although everyone knows that the problem is serious, no one dares to openly put forward any suggestions.

On the one hand, there is the problem of this treasure money, which everyone does not understand.

Even if you understand, you don't want to get into trouble.

Xie Jin probably watched Zhang Anshi's recital, but it was Zhang Anshi who proposed to let His Majesty's internal funds, as well as the treasury, and the money bank, establish a coin bureau together, and at the same time completely abolish the Daming treasure banknotes.

Xie Jin saw that it was in the clouds, and although Zhang Anshi said a thousand words, Xie Jin only felt that his eyes were black.

However, he only smiled, and wrote on the next draft: "The minister thinks that the court will discuss it." ”

Meaning, this thing...... Let's discuss it in court.

As he spoke, he put it aside.

Sure enough, the next day, there was a decree in the palace to convene a court meeting.

So six days later, Zhang Anshi was fully prepared and came to the noon gate.

Here, there are many ministers waiting.

When everyone saw Zhang Anshilai, they just smiled at each other, but they didn't have a cold eyebrow.

The court is like this, even if it is the revenge of killing your father, if you can't kill it at once, you often don't hesitate to give you a smile.

Even if you want to kill the incense stick before you die, maybe they will pull you, shush you and ask you for warmth, sincerely ask how you are doing recently, whether the food is fragrant, and warn you to eat less and more often.

In fact, many people are a little confused about this court discussion, but it doesn't matter, just watch the excitement.

Yang Rong was a little unusual today, he had already learned the content of the song, and he was more concerned about this matter.

So when I saw Zhang Anshi, I actually came to Zhang Anshi in front of everyone.

Zhang Anshi looked flattered: "I've seen Yang Gong." ”

"I've seen Master Hou."

Salute each other.

Yang Rong said: "Yang has already read your recital, and there are many things I don't understand, I wonder if Annanhou can teach you a lesson or two?" ”

Zhang Anshi ignored the gazes of the others and said, "I am ready, and I will explain it to His Majesty and the hundred officials after the court discussion later." ”

As soon as Yang Rong heard it, he understood that this was definitely not something that could be explained clearly in one or two sentences, but he said with interest: "Is this beneficial to the country?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "You can leave it to eternity." ”

Good guy, that's a big tone.

Yang Rong smiled and said: "If this is the case, it will be the blessing of the world and the common people." If it is indeed insightful, I will support it very much. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Yang Gong is too good to me...... Woowoo woo ......"

Zhang Anshi suddenly felt that something was wrong, and entered his mother's ...... How did you transform into the Zhu Zhanji model?

Got broken by that guy.
