My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 456 Garn

   "Fortunately? What does this mean?" Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi very puzzled.

  Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "It's my luck that my father gave birth to only this son besides my elder sister. So the two siblings depend on each other for life, and their affection is very strong."

  Zhu Di: "..."

  Zhang Anshi continued: "As far as I know, any family with many children will be full of all kinds of conflicts, and there will be many troubles, which is very annoying."

  Zhu Di subconsciously nodded.

   Zhang Anshi's words seemed to be just common sense, but in fact, they made Zhu Di feel better.

  He turned the naked uncle and nephew fight into a family conflict.

   There must be dirty in the family, who doesn't?

   Everyone is like this, so His Majesty is at most one of them! You see, this psychological burden is gone.

Zhang Anshi went on to say: "The reason why I have such a deep relationship with my elder sister is that firstly, it is because my elder sister dragged me into a big relationship. Second, if we look deeper, it is that we, sister and brother, can support and help each other. .”

  When Zhu Di heard this, he sighed emotionally: "Yes, my sons fought fiercely back then."

  Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, isn't this the case in all dynasties? Emperor Taizu Gao is also a person who is familiar with history, so when he was alive, he must have been worried about such things."

  Zhu Di's mood suddenly sank again, and he said quietly: "What he was worried about finally happened."

Zhang Anshidao: "But what Emperor Taizu Gao was worried about was resolved by His Majesty. If Emperor Taizu Gao knew that his descendants would be in harmony in the future, and because of His Majesty, they could have a blind date with each other, he must be big." Joy."

  The topic was directly turned back.

  Zhu Di stared at Zhang Anshi, knowing that there was a comforting element in it, but he slowly figured out what it was.

Zhang Anshidao: "Now the brothers and sons of His Majesty entrusted by the imperial court are away. The kings desperately need the support of the imperial court. There is no disagreement. I just hope to have more exchanges with Your Majesty. As for the two Highnesses Zhao Wang and Han Wang, the relationship with the crown prince They are also getting closer, isn't it... isn't this something to celebrate?"

"Brothers and children, all eat in a big pot. After a long time, disputes will inevitably arise. But if the pot is divided, these relatives can use these relatives to expand the territory of Ming Dynasty, and the relatives can use their own family to expand the territory. They have formed the most reliable symbiotic relationship in the world with each other, and no one can do without the other, and in the past dynasties, the problem of suspected clan rebellion in the palace has also been solved. Throughout the dynasties In the past dynasties, I am afraid that there is no time when the clan relationship is more harmonious than this time."

"Even if it's Jianwen... no... even Zhu Yunqi, he has become a monk now, built Buddhist temples in Luzon and other places, and promoted Buddhism. As far as I know, many clan relatives have let go of their suspicions against him. Kings They are all willing to cooperate with Zhu Yunqi, and hope that his temple will be built in their own domain, because only in this way can I use the Buddha of Ming Dynasty to stabilize people's hearts."

   "Your Majesty, if Emperor Taizu Gao knew that His Majesty had solved such a big problem between clansmen, how could he blame Jing Nan for such a trivial matter?"

  Zhu Di nodded, cheered himself up, and turned to ask: "How is Zhu Yunqi now?"

Zhang Anshi then said: "He devotes all his heart to the Buddha and spreads the Dharma everywhere. Now...he has achieved quite a lot. In Western countries, Buddhist temples have been built, which are presided over by his disciples. I heard that there are now three thousand disciples. Your Majesty, I dare to say that your majesty must have been wary of Zhu Yunqi in the past. But now, will your majesty still be wary? I'm afraid at this time, I wish he could live a long life and live a better life in the West."

  Zhu Di nodded: "This son is not a good emperor, but he is a good monk."

  Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "The minister has already seen that he will definitely become a generation of eminent monks."

  Zhu Di glared at him and said, "You're an afterthought."

Zhang Anshi shook his head: "This is not the case. Because in my opinion, the one who can become an eminent monk is never the kind of monk who escaped into Buddhism since childhood, but a person with great experience in life and experienced countless ups and downs in life. Only Such a person has experienced great wealth in the world, and then fell from the sky to the mortal world. Such ups and downs, emotional ups and downs, are by no means comparable to ordinary people. Only such a person can fully understand the Zen principles that others cannot comprehend. This is like Shakyamuni, who was also born as a prince?"

After Zhang Anshi finished speaking, he smiled: "Zen is something that can't be comprehended by just sitting and chanting, but Zhu Yunwen, what he experienced is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, so his thoughts are more than ordinary people. It is much more profound. Because of this, his achievements in Buddhism are probably unmatched by anyone."

Zhu Di was surprised by Zhang Anshi's words. After thinking about it, he couldn't help agreeing: "This is reasonable. I have heard a saying that is called the luck of the country's unfortunate poet. The Anshi Rebellion created many great poets, and the golden When people went south, Bianjing fell into the hands of Jin people. Countless families had to compete to cross to the south. Fathers and sons, husbands and wives, and brothers were separated. Not to mention how many poets were born. It can be seen that the more painful the experience, the more countless people will be born. On the contrary, when the world is peaceful and people live and work in peace and contentment, there are only a few literati and poets who express their sorrows for new poems."

  Zhang Anshidao: "Your Majesty is really a sage, and he even understands things like writing and ink."

"Get out." Zhu Di raised his head slightly, and said with a bit of arrogance: "Do you really think that I am like you, and it is difficult to learn since I was a child? I did not know how many great Confucians taught me, and the education I received was not ordinary people. Comparable. It's just... I have read the classics and history, and I am also familiar with literature and ink, but I actually entered the army and guarded the screen in Beiping. Only then did I realize that these things are very useless. If I want to rule the world, how can I rely on those useless poems and books? .”

  Zhang Anshi looked awkward, in his impression, Zhu Di was just a big bastard, but...

Thinking about it carefully, he actually forgot that the education Zhu Di received when he was young was indeed the best in the world, and with the strictness of Emperor Taizu Gao, I am afraid that Zhu Di's cultural knowledge should at least be better than ordinary scholars in this era much.

   On the contrary, he... seems to be at most a childish level. At this level, Zhang Anshi may still have something to give himself extra points.

  The clown is actually me, Zhang Anshi?

  Zhang Anshi felt that his mood suddenly became bad.

  At this time, Zhu Di said: "After a while, Zhu Yunqi should be given some rewards. It is not easy for him to live in the West. His son Zhu Wengui..."

  Zhu Di frowned, and suddenly shouted: "Come here."

  Yi Shiha hurried into the hall and said, "Your servant is here."

  Zhu Di said: "How is Zhu Wengui doing now?"

This Zhu Wengui is the second son of Zhu Yunqi. Historically, after the Battle of Jingnan, he was imprisoned in Fengyang by Zhu Di. He was only two years old at the time and was called Jian Shuren. Yingzong restored, took pity on him, built a house for him, married a wife and had children, and released him.

  This Jianshu man is very pitiful. When he was released in his fifties, he couldn't even tell the difference between a cow and a horse.

  It's just... Zhu Wengui's fate has changed because of Zhang Anshi.

  Yi Shiha said: "When Zhu Yunqi was captured, Zhu Yunqi was a monk. His Majesty saw that Zhu Yunxuan had the intention of repenting, so he bestowed Zhu Wengui as the county king, but..."

  Zhu Di said: "It's nothing."

   "However, the vassal land has not yet been granted, and has been staying in Fengyang to support it with the gift of the county king."

  Zhu Di did not decree to enfeoff the land, and Zhu Wengui's identity was so sensitive that the ministers did not dare to ask more questions.

  So everyone only gave Zhu Wengui the treatment of a county king, and continued to stay in Fengyang.

  Of course, Zhu Wengui's treatment has been greatly improved, and he is not directly imprisoned within the high wall like the former Jianshu. As long as he does not leave Fengyang, no one dares to do anything to him.

Zhu Di pondered for a while, and then said: "This is the blood of my brother, Prince Yiwen. It is not safe to stay in Fengyang. Let's divide it out. Find a good place overseas, give him three guards, and seal it up." For the prince, choose a capable long history for him, choose a few more capable military officials to assist him, and as for the name of the country, we will set it as 'Yue'."

  Yi Shiha gave Zhu Di a strange look, and for a while couldn't understand why, His Majesty suddenly missed this Zhu Wengui.

  However, he didn't dare to say more, and immediately said: "Your servant obeys the order."

  Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "Come and choose a good land for him. When the time comes, report to me. He has been imprisoned for a long time. I'm afraid he doesn't understand the world. How old should he be now?"

  Zhang An Shidao: "It should be about twenty years old."

Zhu Di nodded: "The boss is not young anymore. He needs someone to help him with all his heart and slowly increase his experience. After a long time, he will naturally understand military and civil affairs. In a few days, I will call him into the palace to meet him, and then I am ready to go to the palace. Fan. His domain should be closer to Zhu Yunqi."

  Zhang Anshi and Yi Shiha both agreed to come down.

  Zhu Di seemed to settle down a concern all of a sudden, and his brows that were slightly frowned before also relaxed.

   I have to say that Zhang Anshi's strategy of managing the world has indeed solved Zhu Di's big trouble, and now he can use a normal mentality to look at his brothers and nephews.

  At least this suspicion of defense is gone, one more seal is one.

  Even if they had ambitions, they used their ambitions to deal with those local natives.

  The greater their ambitions, the more they benefited Daming.

   After all, the more land and population they have, the more tariffs, money and food of Ming will snowball. The larger their territory, the stronger Ming's control over the four seas will be.

  Zhu Di turned around and said: "Zhang Qing, how is your Xinzhou?"

  Zhang Anshi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I don't know."

  Zhu Di: "..."

   With this answer, Zhu Di was a little speechless.

Zhang Anshi said calmly: "I'm busy now, it's all about the Taiping Mansion. On the Xinzhou side, I only entrusted Yang Shiqi, the chief minister, to manage it. I heard that it's not bad, and I've opened up a lot of routes to Taiping Mansion, and there are many merchants. .”

  Zhu Di said: "Well, this is also very good. Take care of yourself..."

  Zhang Anshi was confused by what he said, and he couldn't ask more questions, so he was about to leave.

  But at this time, an **** suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Wenyuan Pavilion is seeking an audience with the ministers of all ministries."

  Zhu Di frowned: "Isn't it not long since we met, why did you come to see me again?"

   As he spoke, he said again: "Call me in and talk."

   Not long after, Yang Rong and others came in a hurry.

  Yang Rong took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, Henan has urgent memorials."

  Zhu Di also lost his life. Ha took it, opened it, raised his eyebrows and said: "The matter is already so serious, what happened this year? It's so serious."

  In the past, there were disasters, and they were fine, but this year's situation is very abnormal.

   "Your Majesty, the situation is serious. To prevent it from happening, you should immediately order the Ministry of Households to send officials to ask questions." Yang Rong said.

  Zhu Di looked at Xia Yuanji, pondered and said: "Xia Qing's family, the Ministry of Households, how much food can be provided for relief?"

Xia Yuanji said: "There is enough food. If the recruited peasants are paid with silver, a large amount of silver can be saved. But... now the disaster affects not only Henan, but also the northern provinces of Zhili. , Jiangxi, Huguang, Guanzhong and other places have been affected so much, if it is just as usual, just send officials to ask questions, I am afraid..."

Xia Yuanji expressed his worries. The areas involved are too great, from the floods in the Huaihe River to the drought in Henan and other places, as well as the locust plague in Guanzhong. In the past, the imperial court’s solution is very simple. The officials went to inquire, and at the same time... transferred grain from surrounding areas such as Guanzhong and Jiangnan to relief.

   But now, disasters are happening nearby, which means that food needs to be transported thousands of miles or even thousands of miles, which involves the provinces, and once a disaster occurs, refugees will inevitably be born.

   But the disaster involved too much, no matter where the refugees went, there was no food for resettlement, and after a long time, big problems would arise.

  Zhu Di couldn't help feeling worried, and said, "As far as Yi Qing is concerned, what should I do?"

  Xia Yuanji thought for a while and said: "The political envoys in various places have limited capabilities. They need to allocate high-level officials from the imperial court to control the disaster provinces and act according to their own circumstances."

  Zhu Di nodded and said, "This is the truth."

   As he spoke, Zhu Di said, "Is it appropriate for Xia Qing to go?"

  Xia Yuanji smiled wryly and shook his head, "I don't dare to go if I am not a minister, but I am the minister of the household department. At this juncture, I should sit in the household department."

  Zhu Di had no choice but to say: "Then who can go?"

  Xia Yuanji said: "This person must be extremely favored and trusted by His Majesty. At the same time, he must entrust the power of temperance to the disaster provinces. The official position must be above the ministers to control the governors of the provinces."

  Zhu Di set his sights on the three Wenyuange Grand Scholars.

  Hu Guang took the lead without hesitation: "I... would like to give it a try."

  Hu Guangjiu is in Wenyuan Pavilion, and he has a good temperament. Regardless of his background or status, he is enough to make the chief envoys of the provinces admire him.

  The imperial court is all about seniority. If you don't have enough seniority, people will treat you with respect.

   Hu Guang obviously has no problems in this regard.

  The most important thing is that Hu Guang has a good character. If he had the character of Liu Guan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Zhu Di would never dare to send him there.

  So Zhu Di said: "If this is the case, then I will trouble Hu Qing."

  Hu Guang bowed down and said: "I am blessed by the Holy Grace, dare not try my best."

  Zhu Didao: "Prince Hu Qing was bestowed with the power of arbitrariness, and he went to Henan and other places in an emergency to assist in disaster management. When encountering anything, he can be arbitrarily arbitrarily, and he can report it at that time."

  Hu Guang kowtowed: "Thank you."

  Xia Yuanji heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Hu Guang was going. With Hu Guang doing this, the victims will be saved.

  At the next moment, Xia Yuanji frowned again, and said, "As for the disaster in Zhili..."

   Halfway through his words, Zhang Anshi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, as the right governor, I should give relief."

  Zhu Di was very satisfied, and said: "That's fine, since that's the case, it's settled like this."

  After things were arranged, the ministers were ready to leave.

  Zhang Anshi did not stay any longer, and left with everyone.

  He walked out of the palace quickly. He was young and energetic, so he walked in the front.

  Xia Yuanji hurriedly caught up with him, and said anxiously: "His Royal Highness, wait a moment."

  Zhang Anshi had no choice but to stop and wait for him.

  Xia Yuanji said: "The disaster situation in Henan and other places is the most serious, there is no need to delay, Zhili and other prefectures..."

  Zhang Anshi looked at him with a piercing gaze and said, "You are worried that I will ask you for food, right?"

   As if being told what was on his mind, Xia Yuanji said awkwardly: "There are priorities, and there is absolutely no selfishness."

  Zhang Anshi didn't talk too much, and simply said: "Don't worry, I will find a way for this. The Ministry of Households should focus on the most important things first."

  After hearing this, Xia Yuanji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really extraordinary that the king of the county can receive this kindness."

  Zhang Anshidao: "Doesn't it mean that I like to be taken advantage of?"

  Xia Yuanji said: "Your Highness, how can you say that?"

  Zhang Anshi looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Then according to Duke Xia, what is this called?"

  Xia Yuanji thought for a while and said, "This is called taking care of the overall situation."

  Zhang Anshi just smiled and didn't say anything.

  Xia Yuanji said again: "But rest assured, Your Highness, when the disaster situation in other provinces eases, the household department..."

  Zhang Anshi suddenly interrupted him: "I'm just worried about Mr. Hu..."

  Xia Yuanji asked puzzled, "Why are you worried about Mr. Hu?"

  Zhang An Shidao: "I am worried that Mr. Hu is kind-hearted, but he will miss a major event. You are the Minister of the Ministry of Households, so you should be more careful."

  Xia Yuanji didn't argue with Zhang Anshi, but thought about it seriously: "It shouldn't be, but I would like to thank His Royal Highness for reminding me."

  Zhang Anshi didn't say much, said goodbye to Xia Yuanji, and left in a hurry.

  In fact, there have always been disasters in Zhili, but the county prince's mansion didn't pay much attention to it.

   It's not because they don't care, but because most of the top and bottom of Zhili are officials trained by the Taiping Mansion, and the money and food are still sufficient. As long as the people affected by the disaster are resettled step by step, it will be fine.

  But now Zhang Anshi has to shoulder the entire Zhili disaster, the situation is still different. At present, Zhang Anshi ordered people to call the prefects and prefects of the governing prefectures to see him.

  So outside the county king's mansion, hundreds of magistrates and magistrates came here one after another.

   Such a lively scene can be considered unique.
