Zhu Di said: "You see that I am a lonely widow, and it is very easy to say nothing, but in fact, where is it so easy." ”

"If nothing else, just talk about this new deal, how many opponents are there? How many of them strongly agree with this Manchu Dynasty civil and military? ”

Zhu Di told me that he seemed to be in a good mood today, but said slowly: "Do you really think ...... If people in this world want to oppose the New Deal, will they only find fault with the New Deal and talk about it? I am dealing with the brightest men in the world. They have to oppose one thing, and there are many ways. The matter of Jiangxi is just one case, and the sword and sword shadow of the DPRK and the central government, its harm is not far behind, not to mention the DPRK, even if it is a small prefecture and county thousands of miles away, it is easy for them to destroy the current situation. ”

After a pause, Zhu Di continued with some emotion: "As a monarch, you must perceive the great advantages that can be obtained by a major national policy, which is called vision. But there are countless people in the world who have vision, such as carp crossing the river, who can distinguish between interests and disadvantages. But...... How many people are truly willing to be steadfast, whether it is coercion and temptation, whether it is someone close to you crying in front of you, or a minister who denounces you for being stupid and incompetent, how many people can still stick to this determination? ”

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but sigh when he heard it.

Zhu Di didn't say that, he couldn't feel it. Now that he said this, he was able to empathize.

Why didn't he have such pressure? And the pressure of His Majesty will never be less than that of him, a courtier.

And the reason why he Zhang Anshi was able to grit his teeth and bite to death had to be the New Deal, because he was a human being in two lives and already had the so-called correct answer.

A person who has the right answer, knowing that he is on the right path, will naturally have confidence. So in the eyes of others, Zhang Anshi is stubborn, and he doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin.

But what about Your Majesty?

Your Majesty does not know the answer.

Even if the new policy is effective, he has no idea what harm it will do in the future, or what disadvantages it will show.

But he was able to make a judgment from it, and recognized that there would be nothing wrong with this matter, and then faced the persuasion of countless close ministers, as well as heavy pressure, and even the rebellion that endangered the Jiangshan Society, as well as those cold guns and cold swords stabbed out of the shadows, so far, it seems that Zhu Di still has no wavering thoughts.

You come to cry, but I ignore it. You use all kinds of rumors to smear it, and that's up to you. If you rebel, put it down. If you have the courage to kill me, then I will destroy you all over the place.

This is how Zhu Di handles it.

But if you think about it, can someone else withstand such pressure?

This is just like Song Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, he didn't see the problem and wanted to change, but so what?

In the final analysis, the vast majority of emperors are actually just ordinary people, let them withstand the pressure and do something that can only really benefit after a hundred years, but they need to face countless open guns and hidden arrows, as well as the prayers of various relatives and close ministers and officials, but they are still unswerving, which is almost impossible to do.

There are only a handful of people who can do it from ancient times to the present.

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister understands what His Majesty means. ”

Zhu Di smiled slightly; "What do you understand?"

"The minister's brother-in-law, although he is the most filial, can be compared with His Majesty, it is really far from it. The brother-in-law is very meticulous in handling the government and politics, he can calm the world and guard the country, but when it comes to pioneering and enterprising, eliminating disadvantages and innovating, he is far inferior to Emperor Taizu Gao and His Majesty. ”

Zhu Di bowed his head and said: "I also mean this, not that he is weak, he, the prince, has done a good job, from the Qin and Han dynasties to the present, there are very few princes who can be like him." But if he wants to open a new deal, build a railway, and make a name for himself, he can't do it. But I'm getting old......"

When he said this, Zhu Di sighed faintly, and then said: "If I have another thirty or fifty years of life, I may be able to slowly figure it out." But now, my health is not as good as before, long live is just a vain word, how many years can I live? ”

Zhang Anshi heard this, his heart was a little sour and uncomfortable, and he wanted to comfort him, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhu Di was obviously seriously talking to him about important things, so he swallowed the words back.

"That's why I was in a hurry to build a railway in Jiangxi, with the intention of seeing if it was feasible for the state capitals to build their own railways. As long as the railway is opened, the flow of people and goods from the south to the north can naturally circulate, and the parents and officials of the state capital can gradually become enlightened. For this reason, I even ...... Take out the inner ......"

When Zhu Di said this, he couldn't help but be furious, and his eyes were bigger than the copper bell.

Zhang Anshi was so frightened that he immediately dodged his eyes.

Zhu Di continued: "But now it seems that I am too eager to succeed, which is called knowing that I can't do it." It is because of my recklessness that this result came about. ”

Zhu Di's face gradually became full of anger and became a little remorseful.

Zhang Anshi hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "At the beginning, I actually vaguely felt that something might happen, but I ...... But he was afraid that His Majesty would suspect the minister and attack the minister, so the minister did not dissuade him. ”

Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Anshi: "My problem has been reflected, and now it's time to talk about your problem." ”

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

Zhu Di said slowly: "I heard that you are in charge of the Jinyi Guard, even if you are the commander of the Jinyi Guard, but you are only in charge of the South Town Fu Division, and you rarely ask about the North Town Fu Division and the newly established East Town Fu Division, and still let them do their own thing." Even the official promotion of Weizhong, you rarely ask about it, but ask the pro-military governor's office to call the shots, right? ”

Jinyiwei is subordinate to the pro-army Beijing Health Administration, under the jurisdiction of the pro-army 22 guards, theoretically speaking, this Beijing Health Administration, is Zhang Anshi, the top boss of the Jinyi Wei commander.

It's just that in the Yongle period, the so-called Beijing Health Office was almost useless.

Because the twenty-two Jingwei are all forbidden troops and are directly under the emperor, which commander can be regarded as a high authority and trusted by the emperor.

Zhang Anshi had no choice but to say under Zhu Di's unblinking gaze: "Nanzhen Fusi is in charge of supervising the Jinyi Guard's upper and lower official schools, and the ministers think ...... As long as the overseer is good......"

Zhu Di shook his head and said: "I don't think you have this idea, and you don't want to be lazy, I'm afraid that you think that Jinyiwei's authority is very great, and you don't want to get involved in it all, right?" ”

"This ......"

Zhang Anshi felt that he was too difficult, facing the emperor, how did he answer this question?

Zhu Di glared at him in annoyance and said: "Your mother, you have to do the new deal, if you don't toss out of this new deal and live a down-to-earth life, it will be fine." But since the New Deal has been implemented, don't you know that as soon as the New Deal is launched, the whole world will inevitably be covered with dry firewood? I don't know how many people have tried their best to put me and you to death, but you still think about avoiding suspicion all day long? ”

Zhang Anshi sweated profusely and stammered: "Minister......... The minister thinks ......"

Zhu Di said sharply: "If I make you the commander, you will do what the commander should do, life and death, take power, and do not avoid people's words." Just as I ordered you to be the governor of the right capital, what you take is that you have everything in your hands. Otherwise, what is the use of you, the commander of the governor of the capital of the right and the governor? ”

"The authority of this world, I can't hold it all in my hands, it is bound to be distributed among the ministers, if you don't hold this power of life and death in your hands, it will fall into the hands of others, I can trust you, but I can't trust others."

When he heard Zhu Di say the latter words, Zhang Anshi couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and hurriedly said yes, silently wiping the sweat on his forehead.

Zhu Di's face was extremely serious, and he continued: "From today on, take responsibility for me, and pay more attention to the Jinyi Guard and the Right Capital Governor's Mansion, not only that, but also the model battalion!" If not, if something happens, who will protect you? ”

Zhang Anshi met Zhu Di's unquestioning gaze, and finally said, "The minister understands." ”

"Your Majesty, we are going to Tianmen Mountain." Zhu Yong rushed to the road.

Zhu Di looked up at him and said, "Tianmen Mountain? How long is Tianmen Mountain from Nanjing City? ”

"I'm afraid it will take seven or eight hours."

Zhu Di's face suddenly turned cold, and he said: "Seven or eight hours, that's still early, what's the ghost called!" ”

Zhu Yong laughed dryly, he was at the stern, and he heard Zhu Di's voice on the bow of the boat being very high-pitched, nine times out of ten, the eldest brother must have been scolded, so he deliberately came to ease the atmosphere.

Zhu Yong said: "Your Majesty, this Tianmen Mountain, counted, is also the capital, this place is Wuhu County, which belongs to the Taiping Mansion, and the minister is not ...... It's not ......"

Zhu Di pursed his lips and wanted to scold something, but when he saw Zhu Yong smiling brightly, he only hummed at the moment: "I know." I want to be quiet, and you two stand down. ”

Zhang Anshi and Zhu Yong hurriedly retired as if they had been amnestied.

When he ran to the stern, Zhu Yong chirped and said: "Big brother, fortunately, I heard the movement and went to relieve the siege of my eldest brother, Your Majesty is old, and when people reach this age, they can't help chattering endlessly, and they like to scold people, my father is like this." ”

Zhang Anshi only looked at the turbulent river with concern, rolling down, and the ship was in the middle of the river, skimming the shadows of the mountains on both sides.

…………

Nanzhen Fuji.

A secret report was sent quickly.

Chen Li had already heard some rumors, and he was so anxious that he had already sent three batches of lieutenants to Jiangxi.

Hearing the news from Jiangxi, Chen Li personally opened it and took a look, and suddenly a hanging heart was put down.

His Majesty is still there, the Governor is still there, and his nephew Chen Daowen is also unscathed.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, at this time the sky was gloomy, and he was about to immediately take the report, go to the East Palace to play the report, and copy several copies, and send them to the palace, Wenyuan Pavilion, Dongchang and various departments.

But at this time, someone suddenly came and said, "Zhou is here." ”

Chen Li heard that Zhou Yan was coming, and he was already in a relaxed mood at this time, and this Zhou Yan had a good relationship with him.

Chen Li said: "Invite him to the public house." ”

The captain said, "Zhou said that he would gather everyone and go to the main hall." ”

Gather everyone to the main hall?

Chen Li frowned, he felt that it was very rude for Zhou Yan to do this, he was the person in charge of the Nanzhen Fusi, if there was anything, Zhou Yan should also come to meet him with the prophet, he was a servant of the Beizhen Fusi...... Doing this is tantamount to directly bypassing him Chen Li.

Chen Li said: "Is there an explanation of what it is?" ”

"It is said that there is an edict from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Chen Li was confused, but he still got up and said as he walked: "Let's go." ”

Nanzhen Fusi knew Chen Li with him, and led Nanzhen Fusi to the main hall, Zhenfu and thousands of households.

At this time, he saw Zhou Yanshi leading a few captains to come, holding an edict in his hand, with a solemn face.

He said with a straight face: "The prince has an edict, the situation in Beijing is urgent, in order to prevent changes, I specially ordered this servant to temporarily control the Jinyi Guard." ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Li immediately understood what was going on.

He only needed to take out the urgent report from Jiangxi, and the matter could be clarified, so he smiled slightly and said, "Old Zhou, ......"

Zhou Yan's face was impersonal: "Chen Tongzhi, now is an extraordinary time, it's not that I'm not close to people, but I'm really offended." From now on, the people of the north and south towns and the Fu Division, etc., have all strengthened the defense inside and outside the Beijing Division, Chen Tongzhi is the old qualification of Weizhong, and it is also the most trustworthy, Zhenjiang Mansion is the gateway to the capital, and the relationship is the most important, so please Chen Tongzhi and go to Zhenjiang. ”

As soon as these words came out, in fact, Nanzhen Fusi immediately noticed that something was wrong.

No matter how important Zhenjiang is, there is no need for a Tongzhi to go, just appoint a thousand households, Chen Tongzhi has been in Nanzhen Fusi for many years, and the operation up and down is inseparable from him, how can he be easily transferred?

What's more, Zhenjiang is important, the most important thing in the world, isn't it the capital and Qixia?

Zhou Yan said to Chen Li with a light smile: "Chen Tongzhi, you are old, but right now, it is a time to share your worries for His Royal Highness the Prince, I am afraid that you will have to work hard." ”

Behind him, a thousand households stood up and shouted: "Zhenjiang is still humble, such a trivial matter, why do you need to work Chen Tongzhi!" ”

Zhou Yan's face fell, and he shouted: "How to deal with it, it is something that I and Chen Tongzhi know, what do you have to do with a thousand households?" Why, have you forgotten your family law? ”

The thousand households glared at Zhou Yan viciously, showing a look of unyielding, but when the word family law came out, he finally lowered his head unwillingly.

Chen Li looked at the people who were full of resentment, then looked at Zhou Yan, and said lightly: "If I leave Qixia, what will I do with this Nanzhen Fusi?" ”

"It's easy to do." Zhou Yan said: "The relationship between Nanzhen Fusi is the most important, and I can just sit in charge." ”

Many people looked at Chen Li, just waiting for Chen Li to turn his face, and everyone disobeyed together.

But Chen Li bowed his head: "In this case, if there is work and work, can you ask the old man to clean up and set off in the next two days." ”

"Yes." Zhou said: "There are just some affairs that need to be settled. ”

In fact, when he said that the delivery, Chen Li understood everything.

If it is only a temporary appointment, how can it be closed?

'M afraid...... After this settlement, his acquaintance went to Zhenjiang, and some people hoped that he would never return to Beijing.

He nodded without joy on his face and said, "Yes, there is labor." ”

After that, under the disappointed eyes of everyone, he walked away.

……

"Chen Tongzhi ......" someone chased into Chen Li's public house.

Chen Li packed up some of the files on the case.

This is Wu Ye, the servant of Nanzhen Fusi.

Wu Ye said angrily: "What does this mean? With a copy of the prince's edict, the affairs of the Fusi of Beizhen can be ......"

Chen Li said: "You don't say a word, be careful that the wall has ears." ”

Wu Ye said with a little worry: "This thing is strange, I don't think it's simple, I ...... it the night before yesterday."

Chen Li looked at Wu Ye with a smile: "You have to take care of the affairs of Nanzhen Fusi, but don't let the brothers of Nanzhen Fusi make any trouble, if not, I will ask you in the future." ”

"It's blowing up and down, as long as Chen Tongzhi ......"

"Don't mess around." Chen Li scolded: "Go and do your part, go down." ”

Wu Ye was still unwilling, but when he saw Chen Li's face pale, he finally stomped his feet and left angrily.

Chen Li thought thoughtfully for a moment, and then ...... He took out the express from Jiangxi from his sleeve.

After groaning, he calmly rested the express on the candlestick.

The candlestick was lit up, and as soon as it touched the letterhead, it immediately began to burn.

Chen Li immediately threw the half-burned letterhead into the charcoal basin at his feet, and then ...... A flame suddenly rose from the charcoal basin, and finally everything burned clean.

"Real gold is not afraid of fire, this time...... It's time to see who's the real gold. Chen Li muttered.

…………

Deep House.

Someone hurried into the depths of the courtyard.

"Zhou Yanshi has already taken the Nanzhen Fusi."

"Very good, Nanzhen Fusi is in charge of the promotion, reward and punishment of Jinyi Guard, as long as he controls it, within half a year, he can clean up the rest of Zhang Thief's party and replace his own people, this time it can be regarded as seeing the light of day."

"Is this step too risky? If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't chosen Zhou Yanshi......"

"You don't know this, at first, let Zhou do things to get rid of thieves, make a contribution, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent, I heard that this week's affairs risked death to save a lot of people, for this week's affairs, His Royal Highness the Prince will be most impressed by him in the past two days."

The man paused, then slowly continued, "Of course, this alone is not enough. But if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly heard about the bad time of His Majesty and Wei Guogong, he would definitely be at a loss, at this time, he was afraid that he himself would have no master, and he would lose two close relatives at once, plus the chaos had just occurred in the capital, which had to make people suspect that the anti-thieves in Jiangxi conspired with the anti-thieves in the capital! ”

"At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the weakest, tired and most painful, and for the sake of the country, he had to make arrangements for the capital, so as to be foolproof. So at this time, whoever is most impressed by him, he will naturally choose this person. After all, at this time, he was still in a hurry to go to the Forbidden City to comfort the queen mother! ”

"Therefore, this week's affairs may not be the most senior in Jinyiwei, but for His Royal Highness the Prince, the only Jinyiwei who can be named at that time may be Zhou Yan. The final person selected is not Zhou Yan, but who is it? ”

What's more, Zhou Yan's removal of thieves has proved that he has nothing to do with those chaotic parties, and he thinks of the people, and the prince also believes that once there is any chaos in the capital, Zhou Yan's affairs can be handled according to his heart. As for Chen Li and the others, if it weren't for the urgency, they might be the best choice, but it's a pity...... They don't have that luck. Maybe Your Highness may not be able to remember their names for a while. ”
