Zhu Di's praise is by no means an exaggeration, but it is really from the bottom of his heart.

The result of such a large disaster was not only easily solved, but also the extent of relief was far beyond everyone's imagination.

But the crux of the matter is that whether it is the emperor or the imperial court, or the Taiping Mansion, or even Zhang Anshi personally, there are actually a lot of profits.

In all dynasties and dynasties, the situation of profiting from the catastrophe must have caused anger and resentment.

But Zhang Anshi not only made everyone profitable, but also made the court win the hearts of the people.

This kind of means sounds shocking, and no one can think of it even if it is afraid of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Even if you think about it, you can't do it.

At this time, Zhang Anshi smiled, straightened his body, and said modestly: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed to say that the minister's ability is really not able to ascend to the hall of elegance, and the minister is very ashamed, and I dare not praise Your Majesty like this." If there is some credit this time, it is also the result of the concerted efforts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Taiping Mansion. ”

Zhang Anshi's words were indeed very modest, and there was not even a trace of pride on his face.

Over the years, he has come to the conclusion that modesty is right anyway.

As for him asking for merit in front of Zhu Di in person, telling all kinds of ways to make money in front of the monarchs and ministers, it is not that Zhang Anshi is psychologically immature, and he hopes to show himself in front of everyone.

It's really too wild for the New Deal, these things need to be taught hand-in-hand, if you make a fortune by yourself, where do others know how powerful the New Deal is?

Only the benefits here, as well as all kinds of relationships, are peddled one by one, this monarch and ministers...... Even if one or two people open their minds, it will be of great benefit to the New Deal.

Zhu Di listened, didn't think about it, and couldn't help but say: "Prince...... It's not a credit, he's just going to contribute. ”

But after saying that, he seemed to feel that these words belittled the prince a little, after all, he was the prince, and he should also establish some prestige for him.

So as soon as the words changed, he said: "Naturally, he is my son, and he is the prince of the country, but he is willing to do it himself to help the people, which is unprecedented in such a prince." I have this son, and my heart is very comforted. It's just that this merit, as Zhang Qing said, is the result of the best efforts of the Taiping Mansion, and now, the people are fed and clothed, which is the greatest merit, and I ...... I was very pleased. ”

The hearts of the hundred officials are still shocked, they are slowly digesting Zhang Anshi's various paths, in addition to shock, I am afraid that they are still a little ashamed of themselves.

It is said that Zhang Anshi, this kid, is a relative, and most of the officials are from Jinshi who read poetry and books, and he is the pride of the sky.

can be carefully discussed, although this An Shilu is wild, but with this relief work alone, no one has to be convinced.

It's true, the facts crush everything!

However, Zhu Di suddenly remembered something, and immediately looked at Zhang Anshi with burning eyes, and said, "Can the emperor and grandson go to the relief this time?" ”

Zhang Anshi naturally knew that Zhu Di cared about Zhu Zhanji, so he said patiently: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun has now joined the Railway Division, and is the same as the Railway Division, responsible for assisting in the construction of the railway. The minister hopes that the emperor and grandson can try the affairs of the Taiping Mansion and the Ministry of Maritime Affairs. ”

On the one hand, they also assisted in the relief, and on the other hand, after surveying and planning, they mobilized the strong men to build the roadbed. Of course, in order to prevent this from happening, the minister also placed a member of the model battalion beside the emperor and grandson, which was not only to protect the emperor and grandson, but also to protect the personnel of the railway department. ”

Zhu Di was obviously very satisfied, and said with his chin bowed: "Hmm...... So...... Very good, what I am most worried about is that my children and grandchildren will be in the palace for a long time, regardless of grains. Emperor Taizu Gao is Huai's right cloth, and he can win the world because he can understand the suffering of the people and know the depth of the sinister world. ”

"If not, it will be like the descendants of the Mengyuan, the original Temujin generation, skilled in bows and horses, how brave, with a mere hundreds of thousands of iron horses, whipping the world, no one dares to be. But it is only a hundred years, but his children and grandchildren are all sluggish, afraid when they hear the enemy, and panic like a lost dog when they see the enemy. ”

Zhu Di paused, sighed, and then said: "It's a pity, it's such a reason, but the prince and the emperor and grandson have always been around, those who are ministers and slaves, which one doesn't only know how to coax the prince and the emperor's grandson, and which one dares to sincerely teach the prince and the emperor's grandson to experience?" Everyone is willing to work their behalf, and they appear to be brave and loyal, but in reality, they are harming them. Only Zhang Qing dares to do this. ”

When he said this, many people in the hundred officials couldn't help but secretly began to roll their eyes.

Who doesn't know the truth? But ordinary people, who would dare to let the crown prince and the emperor and grandson do that?

But Zhang Anshi's identity is different.

This Zhang An Shi did this, it is His Majesty's family matter, no matter how it is, the crown prince and the imperial grandson will not be surprised.

What if you let someone else try it? I'm afraid that before I can do it, I will be mistaken for ill-intentioned and cut off my head.

Who doesn't know the so-called truth that Zhizi is suspicious of his neighbor?

Zhu Di then paced a few steps, his heart was excited, and then he remembered something, looked at Zhou Juren and others, the side of the tiger's eyes, and stared at Zhou Ju fiercely: "You just wait to stock up on goods in the disaster year, it is greedy to this point, but now it is planned by Zhang Qing, if you are willing to gamble and lose, I will pay a few respects." Now that he can't steal chickens, he dares to gather people to come to Beijing to complain about his grievances and frame him, can he be convicted? ”

Everyone in Zhou Ju was like a thunderbolt in the sky, and they were terrified in their hearts.

In fact, they have understood that at this point, they are completely finished.

The reason why it is finished is not because their reasoning is untenable.

People like Zhou Juren are all elites, and when it comes to reasoning, they have read books all their lives, but they have reason to refute themselves.

To say something ugly, if you really want to talk about the crime, everyone in Zhou Ju is really not afraid of a Zhang Anshi.

But they understand that the so-called truth, the so-called argument of tongues, no longer has any meaning.

This An Shi helped the people, made the palace make a lot of money, and taught the court to win the hearts of the people, not to mention that there will be a steady stream of income in the future, and it may even be ...... They also got their land and the manpower of the victims, and built the roadbed of the railway.

This is basically the result that only Zhou Juren and others are injured, and everyone in the world has benefited greatly.

To say something ugly, don't say that Zhang Anshi is reasonable, even if Zhang Anshi is really guilty, he did such a lack of virtue as digging up people's ancestral graves. In front of the emperor, he must also defend Zhang Anshi.

Because these huge benefits are all based on Zhang Anshi's attack on Zhou Juren and others.

If you are maintaining these people at this time, then ...... How do you calculate the railroad? How are the benefits of taxation calculated?

It seems that there are still people who try to refute one or two things, and want to exonerate themselves.

But Zhou Juren's face was already miserable, with a sad face, and he was busy kowtowing like garlic and said: "Grass people...... Ten thousand deaths, ten thousand deaths......"

This is not a matter of reason, this is directly standing on the opposite side of the world, standing on the opposite side of the emperor, and competing with the emperor for the interests of hundreds of millions of taels of silver!

However, in this whole world, it is the emperor who says that you are justified, and that if you are guilty, you will have the sin of ten thousand deaths, and if you want to kill your whole family, you will not be left behind.

Zhu Di was angry at this time, but he thought of something, looked at Zhang Anshi with slightly open eyes, and said, "Zhang Qing...... These people ...... It's the thief I asked you to catch in the first place, right? ”

Zhang Anshi said calmly: "Your Majesty, it is ......"

He continued slowly: "Your Majesty ordered the minister to take the thief, and the minister thought at that time that if they were thoroughly investigated one by one, the disaster situation in these four provinces would be so serious, and there would be so many thieves involved. At the same time, it may also lead to these thieves who are stubborn after learning of the rumors, after all, they are the head snakes of the land, and they have deep roots in all the prefectures and counties of the world, and the Jinyi guards cast a net and send out sporadic horsemen, which will not only cause great turmoil, but also may return in vain. ”

"It may even wronged good people and let some cunning villains escape justice."

The advantage of this is that only these thieves will be particularly concerned about the price of grain, and they will have to do everything possible to buy grain and maintain the price of grain in order to maintain their interests and make them suffer huge losses. Whoever loses more will hoard more grain, and this practice is clear at a glance, and it is absolutely impossible to wronged others. ”

"This is the second one......" Speaking of this, Zhang Anshi evoked a meaningful smile and said: "The second is to ask Hu Gong for a small favor." ”

"Hu Guang?" Zhu Di cross-examined.

As soon as Hu Guang mentioned that guy, Zhu Di was a little angry.

He didn't expect this guy to get to this point.

Teaching him to give charity, in vain, and causing so many troubles, this person has no ability to take charge of himself at all.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Anshi actually said: "It is Hu Gong, the minister secretly contacted Hu Gong, and Hu Gong also noticed that something was wrong, but it was just ...... He wanted to make amends, but it was too late. So the minister invited someone to talk with him in person, and finally worked out a strategy, that is, to invite Zhou Juren and these people into the urn. ”

"Your Majesty, these thieves have suffered heavy losses, and the minister is thinking, these people are in various states and counties, after all, the tree is big and deep-rooted, once the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, it will inevitably cause a big incident."

Zhu Di nodded.

This is the truth, why did the emperors of all dynasties have to rule the world with the powerful and the gentry?

In essence, the emperor is far away, but these families who have been operating in the local area for hundreds or thousands of years are intertwined, and once the imperial court harms their huge interests, they will inevitably find ways to create all kinds of chaos and even cause disasters.

Zhang Anshi said at this time: "The so-called blockage is better than sparse, rather than letting them jump over the wall in a hurry and take risks, then it is better to let them all come to the capital." But how to get them to come to Beijing? If there is no chance of victory, they will not dare to come. Therefore, the role of Duke Hu was revealed, he had a huge prestige, put on a posture of being willing to be the master for them, and secretly contacted and instructed them, as long as they came to Beijing, the princes of the court and the central government would definitely breed sympathy for them, and would give them justice, so that they could be regarded as giving them a huge hope, and this was why they went to Beijing to complain about their grievances. ”

Zhu Di: "......"

Zhu Di's old face was twitching, and when he heard this, he actually understood what was going on.

Zhu Di is already an old fox, but the old face twitched several times, and finally, he was still a little nervous, and the panicked Zhou Juren waited with his fingers: "What Zhang Qing said is...... Those who come to the capital, one counts as one, are they all those thieves? ”

Zhou Juren subconsciously muttered: "No, it's not ......"

He shuddered.

Who would have thought...... All this ...... It turned out to be a scam.

What law does not blame the public, what you can rest assured, wrapped in the old man, the old man is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the princes of the court have long been dissatisfied with Zhang Anshi's behavior, as long as he enters Beijing, he will know the benefits to His Majesty, and His Majesty will be in tears.

This...... It's all a lie......

All this is actually a ghost trick by Hu Guang and Zhang Anshi joining hands to fool around.

Knowing this truth was really more shocking than learning that he was murdered by Zhang Anshi.

All of a sudden, some people feel that the amount of information they receive is too large, so that the whole person is really unbearable, at the moment, this week, there is a person behind him, and his eyes are dark, and he falls to the ground with a click.

Zhang Anshi only glanced at it, and then continued to say to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty is really a saint, that's right, as long as you come to the capital, you are all thieves who hoard goods, and there is no one who is wronged!" ”

"Your Majesty...... Here is a telegram from Duke Hu, hoping that the minister will forward it to His Majesty, and His Majesty will know it at a glance. Here, all of them are the evil forms and evil deeds of these people in the prefecture and county that Hu Gong secretly collected, and there are many crimes listed down, which can be said to be whipped into it. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Anshi took out a note from his sleeve.

Yisha quickly sent this piece to Zhu Di's face.

Zhu Di opened it, and it was full of small words, tens of thousands of words, which showed how much thought Hu Guang had spent in these days.

Zhu Di only lowered his head and looked at the shocking words.

'Forcing people to prostitute', 'Annexing fertile land with the grain of the bucket'......

Seeing this, Zhu Di's eyes narrowed, and in these eyes, killing intent suddenly appeared, and his thick eyebrows sank, and then he said: "I never expected that Zhang Qing had the merit of relief this time, as well as the labor of begging for thieves, one means, but he did so many things for the imperial court." ”

The officials were a little nervous, to be honest, when Zhou Juren entered Beijing, there were still people who empathized with Zhou Juren and others, and shared the same hatred.

Can ...... now At this point, even Hu Guang jumped out to report and expose, and if he said good things to Zhou Juren at this time, it was basically equivalent to looking for death.

Even if he is his own son, he doesn't dare to say a word.

The look on Zhu Di's face became more and more cold, and he said while looking at it: "Okay, I originally thought that it was just these people who were greedy, but I never expected that they were bold and daring, and they really did everything, how could I be compatible with such an inferior gentleman who harms the people?" ”

After that, Zhu Di raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Ju and the others deadly, his eyes were like a sharp sword, as if he would correct them on the spot at any time.

Zhou Juren was already gasping, his face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the grass people are wronged, wronged........."

After that, everyone coincidentally kowtowed like pounding garlic, and a voice begging for mercy rose and fell.

Zhu Di sneered: "Really? Who has wronged you? Is it Zhang Qing's family, or Hu Qing's family? Or...... Could it be me? ”

Zhu Di's words were not hurried or slow, but Zhou Juren only felt like a man on his back, and his whole body was cold.

His teeth kept shivering, and he worked hard for a long time before he burst into tears: "Grass people...... Grass Folk ...... People have been trapped to the point of bankruptcy. What's more, most of the grass people have no quarrel with others on weekdays, and they do good deeds and accumulate virtues, but this time...... Just a little bit of food, Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"

The officials involuntarily widened their eyes one by one, looking at Zhou Juren and others like fools.

To tell the truth, these people who came to the capital on the pole and threw themselves into the net...... It's really rare.

Zhu Di listened to Zhou Juren's words, but he became even more angry, and said angrily: "In the year of famine, hoarding food is not enough to benefit your heart? Isn't the death of Meng Yuan exactly the same people who took advantage of the famine to make profits, embezzled the people's fields, and left people with no place to stand and no place to bury their deaths? ”

"If it weren't for people like you, how could Emperor Taizu Gao be forced to the point of joining the army against the Yuan? How could this Meng Yuan collapse with a bang, and make me win the world? If I can tolerate you, if I can tolerate you, won't I also sit back and watch the Ming Dynasty bring about its own destruction? ”

Saying that, Zhu Di stood up, obviously angry, and said indignantly: "Now you are asking for mercy? Then I want to ask, you say...... In my heart, is it the Ming Dynasty's society that matters, or the lives of you thieves? ”

Having said that, there is no need to go on.

Your Majesty's mind no longer needs to be guessed.

Zhou Juren only felt like he had been struck by lightning, so he shouted in horror: "I'd rather hand over my family than dare to complain." ”

Zhu Di only sneered contemptuously on his face, and then said, "Ridiculous! Is your net worth still Er's? You are already bankrupt, what else is there to hand over? How can future generations take this as a warning to you? ”

This was taken as a precept, and Zhou Juren gasped.

In many cases, the emperor kills people with intent, such as ...... Be an example to future generations.

Since the emperor thinks that the behavior of Zhou Juren and these people will perish in the world, then if Zhou Juren and these people can still live well and only receive some punishments, then this is the emperor's impoliteness to his own country.

How could Zhou Juren not understand the meaning of Zhu Di's words? Just because he knew, his whole body trembled.

After working hard for a long time, he still wanted to make a final struggle, and said in the future: "If Your Majesty punishes us today, we will be separated from Germany, the land of the four provinces, the hearts of the people will be lost, and chaos is coming!" ”

This is his last hole card.
