My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 286 One Hit Kill

  Qin Xuezheng is in his hands at this time.

  The main reason is that this incident has become a big deal.

  As for Yang Pu, he didn't dare to compete with him at this time.

  Public recommendation today, determined to win.

  At this time, Zhu Gaochi ascended his seat, looked around, and said: "Today's discussion..."

   "His Royal Highness..."

   At this moment, someone directly interrupted Zhu Gaochi's words.

   It was Liu Bi who spoke.

  The wind direction has changed.

  At this time, everyone is paying attention to this matter. For the people in the Zhan Shifu, then... this is not a simple public recommendation.

It's as if someone has set up the stage, and everyone has their own role. Liu Bi, a bachelor from Zuo Chunfang, of course knows that when he is old, it is meaningless to be an official again, but if he leaves a good reputation , will benefit you and your children and grandchildren endlessly.

  Think about it, in the future, my descendants will report their family name and claim to be the descendants of Liu Bi. When the other party hears this, they look admiring and ask, could it be Liu Gong who spoke uprightly?

   What a longing scene this is, it's almost like the ancestral graves are about to smoke.

Liu Bi looked very dignified at this time, and said very bluntly: "Since your highness wants to be recommended publicly, then you should choose talents and use talents. In this way, it will be a blessing for the country. If you appoint private individuals, what good will it do for the country? Your Highness is willing to serve, dare not be dedicated, this Zhan Shifu's bachelor is very important, I secretly think... Qin Zhengxue must be sacrificed."

  As soon as this remark came out, it could be said to be resounding.

  Everyone said yes.

  This time, everyone's attitude was much firmer.

  After all, everyone in the world is watching. If anyone takes a step back, he will become a gangster, and he will be infamous forever.

  Zhu Gaochi's face changed slightly.

  He obviously expected this situation.

  So Zhu Gaochi thought about it, he knew that to some extent, this was also a kind of temptation.

  Although Zhu Gaochi is lenient, he is not confused. Today's incident is just like the imperial examination case back then. To some extent, it is actually a test of the emperor by the officials.

  The subtlety of this kind of temptation is that he can take the opportunity to let the imperial power or the East Palace compromise, and at the same time, use reasonable and legal reasons.

   At the beginning, his grandfather Taizu Emperor Gao killed so many people, and in his later years, he was still tempted again and again. Of course... Emperor Taizu Gao's solution is also very simple, he is more straightforward, anyone who tries to test me, I will just cut it with a knife.

   Now, when the matter came to Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaochi was calmer. He listened carefully to a person who stood up and spoke righteously, but he remained silent for a long time.

   It wasn't until these people finished speaking that Zhu Gaochi looked at Qin Zhengxue and said, "Qin Qing."

   "The minister is here."

  Zhu Gaochi said: "Qin Qing, all the ministers think you are the best candidate, what do you think?"

   "I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." Qin Zhengxue wanted to laugh, but put on a modest look and said, "Your Highness, please choose someone else."

   Didn't you want to choose Yang Pu? Then choose, now I'm making concessions, and you insist on asking me, so I'm reluctant.

  Zhu Gaochi's complexion was even worse, because these words sounded modest, but in fact, they were a run on him, the prince.

  Zhu Gaochi took a deep breath, and then said: "Choose another wise person, who is better?"

  Qin Zhengxue said: "When you wash a horse and Yang Pu, you are ten times more talented than a minister, and you are competent."

  Zhu Gaochi's face changed slightly.

  He was a little angry.

   This is obviously bullying an honest person. At this time, if you still say such a thing, it is tantamount to humiliating the prince.

  But the officials of the Eastern Palace were indifferent. To some extent, this was also a silent confrontation.

  This matter...is it because of a Yang Pu?

  Yang Pu is also a Jinshi, so he is also one of his own.

   This is not because of the prince.

  His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is everyone's bet, and it is the ladder for everyone to advance in the future. No one will choose to embarrass His Highness the Crown Prince.

   Today's attack is not even aimed at Zhang Anshi. There are emperors, princes, and relatives of the emperor. It's not that everyone can't tolerate the relatives of the emperor.

  But the reason why everyone suddenly started to be targeted is actually very simple, because... what they want to establish is a rule.

   This is like a great ceremony in history, who cares that you Jiajing recognizes your own father as your own father? The crux of the matter is whether your father is your father or not, it is not your Jiajing who has the final say, but etiquette.

   Then who is in charge of etiquette? Of course we have the final say.

  The atmosphere today is extraordinarily weird.

   Zhu Gaochi felt this kind of weirdness.

  He did not expect that the ministers who were usually pleasant to him would suddenly change into another posture in front of the real authority.

  Although they were still groveling, it was obvious that Zhu Gaochi felt completely different.

   All of a sudden, Zhu Gaochi began to miss Xie Jin.

  Although Xie Jin has complicated thoughts, at least... what he is good at is creating imaginary enemies, and then performing them in front of him, the prince.

  But in front of you...

   At this time, one's patience has to be tested.

  In view of the fact that His Majesty has ordered Zhu Gaochi to utter obscene words, of course Zhu Gaochi can no longer speak fragrantly.

  He suppressed the anger in his heart, still smiled and said: "Zhang Qing."

  He looked at Zhang Anshi: "What do you think?"

  Zhang Anshi said without thinking: "I still think... Yang Pu is the best."

  Zhu Gaochi nodded: "Well..."

  He was silent, obviously Zhu Gaochi was not reconciled, he thought Zhang Anshi would come up with something else.

  But what is the use of this understatement of Yang Pu best?

  Zhu Gaochi said: "The Bachelor of Zhan Shifu also needs to be responsible for drafting the ticket, and also needs to assist the East Palace. The responsibility is not small..."

  He began to change the subject.

   At this time, someone obviously began to understand what His Highness the Crown Prince meant.

  His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obviously wants to find another way. Since everyone chooses Qin Zhengxue, why not give in to each other and set up two bachelors?

  In fact, this is also a good solution.

   But obviously, other times can be done, but not today.

   What happened today is not a matter of a bachelor at all. Anyone can become a bachelor, except those recommended by Zhang Anshi.

Zuo Chunfang Bachelor Liu Bi immediately said: "Your Highness, the East Palace should be more cautious with such a big responsibility. Although the East Palace is open, if there are too many bachelors, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate. Your Majesty's East Palace's responsibilities are much smaller than those of the imperial court. , if there are no more than three scholars in the imperial court, how can the number of East Palace be increased? If His Majesty blames you, ministers, etc...how can you bear to see His Highness be blamed?"

   "Yes, Your Highness... Qin Zhengxue is enough."

"In the past dynasties, the most difficult problem to solve is redundant officials and redundant personnel. The increase of personnel in the East Palace today will not only increase the burden on the people, but also please Your Highness, with the common people in mind, it is easy to increase redundant officials and redundant personnel, but it is difficult to reduce them. "

   Zhu Gaochi was really angry at this time, he was angry.

  But he still maintained his patience. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Zhang Anshi, but Zhang Anshi was like... a wooden man, sitting dumbfounded.

   This made Zhu Gaochi a little confused.

  An Shi is unreliable, I am the crown prince, I have something to say, why don't you hurry up and give it to me?

   But Zhang Anshi was still silent, as if he was closing his eyes and resting his mind.

  Zhu Gaochi finally got a little anxious, so he looked directly at Zhang Anshi and said, "What does Zhang Qing think?"

  To Zhu Gaochi's surprise, Zhang Anshi said: "That's right, redundant officials cannot be added."

  Zhu Gaochi: "..."

  It was as if Zhang Anshi was in charge of the whole incident, pushing Yang Pu continuously, and Zhu Gaochi also stepped down to help.

   As a result, at the most critical moment, Zhang Anshi...run away.

   Zhu Gaochi looked a little embarrassed.

And Qin Zhengxue couldn't help but proudly said: "Your Highness, if Your Highness doesn't like your ministers, and your ministers are terrified, how dare you take on this important task? Yang Pu is very virtuous and talented in washing horses, and he has the trust of His Highness. Your Highness still invites you It is better for him to preside over the overall situation.”

  Yang Pu stood aside calmly, silently observing what happened today.

  With the recommendation of Zhang Anshi and those regulations, if Yang Pu said that there was no disturbance in his heart, it would definitely be impossible.

  He is a person with ambition, why not envy the achievements of the Marquis and Prime Minister?

  Zhang Anshi's grand plan is too big. Although there are many aspects of the charter, Yang Pu does not agree with it, but the vision makes him unable to calm down.

  If...if...you can try it...

  Once this idea appeared in his mind, he couldn't get it out.

  However... now it seems that he is a little disappointed in his heart.

  Because he knew that the matter was over and he had no chance at all. Poorly, he was picked out by Zhang Anshi to accompany him on the list, but in the end it became a joke instead.

  At this time, I saw Qin Zhengxue said: "Your Highness, please appoint Yang Pu. As for the minister... he is too talented to be useful..."

  When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he only became more angry.

  At this time, it is provocative to still run on him again and again.

  He couldn't bear it any longer and burst out, and said angrily: "Is it a trifling matter in your eyes? The appointment of a bachelor is something you can decide?"

  Qin Zhengxue, however, calmed down, pretended to be sincere and apprehensive, bowed down and said: "I am guilty of death."

  Zhu Gaochi could only take a deep breath, try to calm himself down, he is now on the verge of riding a tiger.

  I saw Qin Zhengxue crying again: "I just don't want His Highness to be embarrassed..."

  Zhu Gaochi was furious, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only hold his breath hard.

  Zhang Anshi looked at Qin Zhengxue with a half-smile, but suddenly said: "If Duke Qin is a bachelor, how should he assist His Highness?"

  Qin Zhengxue obviously knew that Zhang Anshi was making things difficult for him, but he said calmly and calmly: "Govern with the arch, don't disturb the people..."

   Zhang Anshi listened, and smiled: "If it is ruled by the arch, what will the court do?"

Qin Zhengxue immediately said: "Duke Wei's words are wrong. The edicts issued by the imperial court, one by one, are all a waste of people's power. Most of the tyrannical administration is also due to this...so lighten corvee and reduce taxes. It will be a blessing for the world if you rule with the king's bow."

  Zhang Anshi smiled and said nothing.

  But Zhu Gaochi had no more patience, and said: "Okay, there is no need to say any more, today's public recommendation, let's stop here."

   After saying that, he was ready to leave.

  Liu Bi said, "Your Highness, I wonder if today's public recommendation has come to fruition?"

   All the officials obviously did not want Zhu Gaochi to continue to delay, so they all bowed down and said in unison: "Your Highness, I implore you to make a clear decision."

  Zhu Gaochi seemed to be unable to hold back his anger anymore, and said angrily: "Haven't you already made it clear? What are you asking me for?"

   Obviously, the answer has already been given.

   It can only be Qin Zhengxue.

   As he spoke, he was about to walk quickly, but Zhu Gaochi was fat and his legs and feet were not good. If he walked slowly, most people would not notice it, but if he walked in a hurry, he would inevitably limp.

   As a result, Zhu Gaochi, who was limping, looked extraordinarily embarrassed.

   All the officials said one after another: "I will send you off to Your Highness respectfully."

  Zhu Gaochi only felt that these words were extremely harsh.

  Zhang Anshi yelled: "Your Highness, step carefully."

   While speaking, he already strode up to help Zhu Gaochi.

  Zhu Gaochi was annoyed that Zhang Anshi was unreliable. He agreed that he had an idea, but he didn't tell him his idea. At the critical moment, he lost the chain.

   But with Zhang Anshi's support, Zhu Gaochi's anger suddenly dissipated a lot, and he only sighed in his heart. After all, he was still not prepared enough, or... the ministers huddled together too much.

  Qin Zhengxue looked coldly at the way the two were about to leave, and a sneer flashed across his eyes.

   Although I got my bachelor's degree as I wished.

   But apparently... it didn't make him happy.

  Because... Zhang Anshi is still by the prince's side, I'm afraid he will have to advise the prince when the time comes, and how can he become important as a bachelor?

  In the final analysis...the next thing to deal with is this Zhang Anshi.

  Of course...it is very difficult to deal with Wei Guogong Zhang Anshi, but what Qin Zhengxue wants to do is to squeeze Zhang Anshi out of the decision-making circle of the East Palace.

   At that time, he will be in control of the East Palace.

   Qin Zhengxue is certainly not without advantages, at least... the minister of the Manchu Dynasty still supports him.

   So... wait and see, step by step.

  He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of his wonderful future, he still couldn't help but feel a little light.

   Just when Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Anshi were about to leave in embarrassment, at this time, an **** rushed over quickly.

   "Your Highness, Your Highness..."

  The **** ran very fast, out of breath.

   All of a sudden, everyone in the hall became still.

  Even Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but stop and look back at the eunuch.

  Zhang Anshi smiled but wasn't smiling.

  Qin Zhengxue was not happy, and said righteously: "This is the East Palace Government Hall, how can it be so noisy."

   This can be regarded as the disqualification of Qin Zhengxue, a new bachelor.

  The East Palace should be decided by the ministers, not some relatives and eunuchs. The ministers are naturally opposed to these relatives and eunuchs.

   At this time, he can be regarded as performing his duties as a new bachelor in front of the officials.

   What happened today must be spread throughout the world. Not only will he honor his ancestors, but he will also be praised by people all over the world.

  The **** took a complicated look at Qin Zhengxue, but still said: "Your Highness, the family of the Cixi Qin family, come to Beijing..."

   Qin Zhengxue listened...Cixi Qin's...

   Isn't this...his own home? For no reason, his heart jumped suddenly, and he felt a bad feeling.

  All the officials seemed to sense that something was wrong, and they all looked at the **** solemnly.

  The **** said: "I came to Beijing to report the funeral."

   Report a funeral...

  As soon as this remark came out...it was even quieter here.

  Zhu Gaochi: "..."

  Qin Zhengxue: "..."

   Liu beep: "..."

  Yang Pu: "..."

  A needle drop can be heard in the hall.

  Everyone is choking.

   "Why... how..." Qin Zhengxue felt as if his heart had been hit by something hard, and with a bang, he was about to explode.

What followed was that his body swayed, as if he had been drained of strength, looked at the eunuch, and it was too late to blame the eunuch, he hurriedly said: "What's going on, it's... who happened to it?" gone?"

  The **** glanced at Qin Zhengxue more complicatedly: "Qin Sheren...is...your father..."

   All of a sudden, Qin Zhengxue's brain exploded.

   Buzzing, his body was a little unsteady.

  My father...is gone...

   It’s fine if it’s gone...

  When the father passes away, the son must mourn.

  The ancients have always admired filial piety, let alone ministers of Confucian background. Therefore, in the past dynasties, if their parents passed away, the ministers had to go home to attend the funeral and observe filial piety for three years.

   Within three years, he is not allowed to be an official.

  But... I just put my feet into the center of power in the Eastern Palace...

   We haven't had a feast to celebrate yet.

   As a result... Are you going home to invite someone to dinner?

how is this possible…

how is this possible…

  Qin Zhengxue's face changed drastically. There was sadness and panic in his eyes, and he was anxious.

   "A few days ago, my father sent a letter saying that he was still in good health. Why... suddenly... passed away suddenly?"

   he muttered, looking in disbelief.

  But this time, Zhu Gaochi was no longer angry.

  Everyone is dead and their father is dead, why are you so angry?

  Zhu Gaochi walked back slowly, sat down, and then... tried hard to show a sad expression: "Qin Qing...sorry..."

  Zhang Anshi looked at Qin Zhengxue coldly.

  He stopped pretending and had a showdown.

  Yes, at this time... there must be a showdown.

   Sure enough... Many people looked at Zhang Anshi subconsciously.

   After all, this died too punctually, so on time that everyone didn't think it was an accident.

   Thinking about it again, Zhang An Shinai Jinyiwei... this guy... is insane, maybe he can really do such a thing.

  Qin Zhengxue seemed to realize something all of a sudden, he looked sad, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Anshi.

  At this time, Zhang Anshi was also staring at Qin Zhengxue naked.

  There was a bit of coldness in those naked eyes.

   It seems to be saying... How does it feel to be a dead father... How?

  Qin Zhengxue shuddered unconsciously, and then became furious.

  He pointed at Zhang Anshi and yelled loudly: "Duke Wei...what do you mean?"

  The target is directly at Zhang Anshi.

  The officials also suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.

  Too ruthless, no one thought that this guy was playing off-the-board tricks, and he was so vicious.

   All of a sudden, everyone was furious.

  Liu Bi immediately said: "How can things be so strange, Your Highness, I think... this matter is not simple."

   This is like launching a charge horn.

  Qin Zhengxue was grieving, but felt helpless.

  Papa died and had to go to the funeral, this is absolutely impossible to change.

  His official career...although it does not mean that it has come to an end, but after three years of mourning and returning, it may be a different situation in the temple. Who can guarantee that he will still have a place?

  At this moment, he was full of anger and flew into a rage. He looked at Zhang Anshi intently. Since his father was gone and his future was gone, then... Zhang Anshi would have to pay the price.

  Even if it wasn't Zhang Anshi's actions, Zhang Anshi should be implicated in the matter, so that people all over the world will criticize him.

   Both jade and stone will be destroyed!

  Qin Zhengxue continued to press, "Wei Guogong...what does this mean?"

  Zhang Anshi was very calm, and said calmly: "My condolences."

  Qin Zhengxue said: "Why is my father such a coincidence..."

  Zhang Anshi said: "You should not ask me, but your father."

  Qin Zhengxue: "..."

  Qin Zhengxue was so angry that he felt that there was nowhere to vent his anger, so he looked at the **** again and said, "Where are the mourners, outside the East Palace?"

   "Just outside, here... there is a letter..."

  Hearing that there was a letter, Qin Zhengxue collected himself, took the letter, and then... looked hard.

  He tore open the letter paper, as if he wanted to find clues from his father's violent death, maybe... There is evidence of murder here.

  Everyone looked at Qin Zhengxue, and hoped that Qin Zhengxue could discover something.

  It's just... After reading this letter... Qin Zhengxue was a little confused.

Yes…

   Completely dumbfounded.

  His father died more ugly.

  According to what the doctor said, he died on the couch of his concubine.

  Of course, people who die on the couch usually die at the end of their lives.

  But the doctor's conclusion is exhausted and dead.

  Yes, the literal meaning of exhaustion. People die.

  The reason why people are exhausted and people die is because of taking medicine.

medicine…

  When Qin Zhengxue saw this, he froze... This must be Zhang Anshi...

  This drug…

   But he continued to read, and found that this medicine...was a gift from the local county magistrate Liu Jiong.

   "..."

  As for Liu Jiong's medicine... It is impossible for the family to hide Qin Zhengxue's information. After all, this is a family letter. We must tell the truth about the cause and effect of the matter. After all, Qin's father is dead, and now Qin Zhengxue is in charge.

  This medicine...is the servant of the subordinate who blackmailed a merchant...to put it bluntly, it was robbed.

   And the merchant...

   No need to read it... Qin Zhengxue immediately closed the letter. He wished that at this time, he immediately tore up the letter and burned it to ashes.

  Zhang Anshi said at this time: "Qin Sheren, did your father die in an unknown way? Speaking of it, this is too coincidental. If there is really something hidden, in my opinion... it is better to investigate thoroughly!"

   "Jin Yiwei can investigate at any time. If Qin Sheren feels that Jin Yiwei is unreliable, he can also ask His Royal Highness, the Ministry of Punishment, and Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate to the end... In short, we must not let your father... die in an unclear way."

  After hearing this, all the officials were filled with righteous indignation. Many people looked at Qin Zhengxue, wishing that Qin Zhengxue would jump out immediately and investigate the matter to the bottom.

  After hearing this, Qin Zhengxue's face changed drastically. Under the eyes of everyone, he suddenly said: "My father... my father is dying..."

   "No, isn't it a few days ago... Are you in good health? How can you just say no?" Zhang Anshi said with a suspicious expression.

  Qin Zhengxue hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Stop it, stop it."
