My Brother-in-law is the Prince

Chapter 485: A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

   Zhu Di was overjoyed after hearing Zhu Zhanji's words.

  At this moment, he finally understood something.

   Can't help saying: "Zhang Qing kept Chen Deng and others because of this. This Dongchang... is really a jerk."

  Yi Shiha listened, his face was stunned, and he hurriedly said: "Your servant will die."

  Yi Shiha's heart was desperate, and finally had a chance to show his face, but it almost ruined His Royal Highness.

But Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the fire is about the same now. Even if Dongchang doesn't arrest people, Jin Yiwei will also plan to close the net in the past two months. After all, these gentry who are willing to relocate, They have already made the trip with their families, and those who refuse to leave will naturally stand still, and Mrs. Chen and others are useless."

  Yi Shiha immediately gave Zhang Anshi a look of gratitude.

  Zhu Di nodded and said: "In the future, if Dongchang takes any action, you must communicate in advance, and don't just think about winning."

  Yi Shiha said dejectedly: "Yes, slaves are condemned to death..."

  Zhu Di waved his hands and said, "Let's go..."

  Yi Shiha heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that His Majesty did not want to go any further.

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Grandpa Huang came just in time. Now that Hezhou is changing with each passing day, you might as well stay here for a few days. It won't be long. The governor's office will also order people to check the money and grain of Hezhou. As for the situation in Hezhou, Grandpa Huang will naturally know."

  When Zhu Di heard the word Qian Liang, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Zhanji more.

  Although this matter was Zhang Anshi's idea, it is obvious that Hezhou is completely under Zhu Zhanji's governance. Zhu Di is full of expectations for the political achievements and results.

   If there are really outstanding political achievements, it will not only mean that the three generations of the Ming Dynasty will have a sage king, but the foundation of the Ming Dynasty will not know how far it will go.

  Secondly, out of personal considerations, Zhu Di loves this grandson the most. Seeing that he is so diligent and effective in governing one side, he can't help being gratified.

  Zhu Di then smiled and said to Yang Rong who was beside him: "Yang Qing...How about my grandson?"

  Although he was asking Yang Rong, his face could no longer hide his complacency.

  Yang Rong said with a smile: "This... I don't dare to make a conclusion yet."

  This is very bold.

   But Yang Rong continued: "We still need to wait for the amount of money and food to be verified before making a decision."

  As soon as this remark came out, Zhu Di couldn't help laughing.

  Yang Rong's words won his heart. If he just blindly talked about Shengming, who would be convinced by Yang Rong's words? This is just the normal state of flattery, and these words are not new at all.

   But if we look at the final achievements, at least the achievements on the table are not small, and it seems that Yang Rong is not just bragging, but Yang Rong is cautious in his words.

  Zhu Di nodded and said: "So, that's fine, this Hezhou... I want to take a good look at it."

   Immediately, Zhu Zhanji ordered someone to arrange the trip, and he accompanied Zhu Di to rest in the government office of Hezhou Prefecture.

  Chen Deng's side was completely hopeless, but Zhang Anshi didn't intend to expose the matter easily.

   Immediately ordered the Jinyiwei Baihu Office in Hezhou to detain him and interrogate him overnight.

  Chen Deng, Zhang Sanhe and the others looked ashamed.

  They seemed to have been drained of all their energy at once, and they just sat powerlessly.

   Not long after, Zhang Anshi walked in slowly, looked at Chen Deng, and said: "Chen Gong is the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. He has a great future, but he is a thief!"

  At this time, Chen Deng no longer had the plausible words in front of the Emperor's Palace today, but said with a disheartened face: "To this day, there is nothing to say."

  Zhang Anshi said: "I can't see it all."

Zhang Anshi smiled, and continued: "Chen Gongmin, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly started writing so many articles on the spur of the moment, and leaked so many things about the palace. Could it be that he is so simple... thinking that by disturbing people's hearts, he can stop the New Deal ?”

As Zhang Anshi said, he stood up, paced back and forth around Chen Deng, who was already in wooden shackles and shackles, and said, "Others think so...or say it in the past, but you are an important minister in the court, not one of those I only know the hot-headed Hanlin. You said... Is what this king said right?"

  Chen Deng glanced at other places, and said: "The way is different, so don't conspire with each other."

  Zhang Anshi stared straight at him and said, "You are guilty."

  Chen Deng remained silent.

Zhang Anshi continued: "Then... why don't you make some guesses. You and others wrote these articles not purely in the hope that by writing some articles, you can disrupt the world, but...someone must be conspiring with you! Disturb people's hearts , is your first step, otherwise...with your disposition, you would definitely not be so childish."

  Chen Deng sneered: "Heh... Mr. Chen can't understand a word His Highness said."

Zhang Anshi said: "Of course you don't understand, or you pretend to understand because you don't know it on purpose. You just think that with these...you can cover up the real truth of the matter. It's a pity...you forgot that this king and Jin Yiwei are not vegetarians. of."

  Chen Deng's eyes were no longer as dead ashes at this moment, but he glanced at Zhang Anshi vigilantly: "Your Highness said so convincingly, so are you only relying on these inferences?"

"Of course it's not just these." Zhang Anshi said: "I know your details. In the second year of Jianwen, you went to Fuzhou to recruit soldiers, just to protect King Qin and rescue Emperor Jianwen. After that... Your Majesty will set the world, so you are like many ministers. , chose to surrender, and in the third year of Yongle, you served as the magistrate of Datong, and because of your outstanding achievements, you have successively served as a doctor of the Ministry of War, and now...you have become the right servant of the Ministry of Rites."

  Chen Deng pursed his lips, unconsciously showing frustration again, but still didn't say a word.

Zhang Anshidao: "A person of your origin can be regarded as an official with ups and downs. He has gone through a lot of worldly events, but now he wants to teach this king to believe that you are just angry at the crown, or that you only hope to rely on a little If you read the article, the world will be plunged into a turbulent situation, I am afraid that even Chen Gong himself will not believe it?"

"I, Zhang Anshi, would never believe...a person like this would be so naive and do such useless work! After thinking about it, the only explanation... is that there must be a conspiracy behind this. What you did was just laying out for others That's all, this is just the first step in your plan."

  Chen Deng laughed loudly and said, "Your Highness thinks highly of Chen."

  Zhang An Shidao: "It's not that I think highly of you, but at least I don't think you are so naive."

  Chen Deng sighed: "Your Highness can ask other people. Didn't Jin Yiwei arrest so many people?"

   "One." Zhang Anshi calmly said: "People are not caught by Jinyiwei, but by Dongchang. Jinyiwei is reluctant to catch useful people like you. From the beginning to the end, Jinyiwei treats you as treasure."

  When Chen Deng heard this, his face turned green and white, and he felt his blood surging.

  It's okay not to say these words, every time Chen Deng said it, he felt that it was piercing his heart.

"Second." Zhang Anshi continued: "According to my king's expectation, there are probably very few people who are really involved in this matter and know the secret, and the so-called non-secret will lose their identity. Such things must be very few people. As far as I know, as for other people, they are just people like you, in the name of so-called morality, fooling around to take the place of dead ghosts and pawns! Therefore, this king does not ask others, but only you."

  Chen Deng laughed: "Perhaps His Highness's judgment is wrong."

Zhang Anshidao: "This king has always firmly believed that people are different. A smart person may do a stupid thing with enthusiasm for a while, but he will never tirelessly do a stupid thing all the time. If you just wrote a few articles to vent your anger, maybe I would believe your words, but in the past six months, Mr. Chen has never slacked off."

"Then the only possibility is that during this process, Chen Gong has always maintained reason. Chen Gong knows what he is doing, and he also knows what risks he is taking, and what consequences it will bring. If a person is so calm and clear-headed, then Chen Gong...put yourself in the shoes of the king, would you believe these words?"

  Chen Deng said: "The matter has come to this point, I have nothing to say, I just want to die quickly."

  Zhang Anshi sneered, and said: "It's easy to think about death, but if you want to die in the hands of Jin Yiwei, I'm afraid it will be as difficult as climbing the sky. Think about your family and relatives, think about yourself."

  Chen Deng closed his eyes, and said: "It seems that this torture is inevitable. Anyway, I have heard about Jinyiwei's methods for a long time, and today... Chen wants to learn."

  Although he couldn't see his eyes, there was a look of determination on his face.

  Zhang Anshi's face changed slightly, he pondered for a moment, but said nothing, but hurried out of the cell.

  Outside the cell, the lights were brightly lit, making people's eyes flicker. Chen Li and the local Jin Yiwei and the others had already been waiting here.

   "Your Highness..." Chen Li stepped forward.

  Zhang An Shidao: "It's a fraud. This case is really not easy."

  Chen Li opened his eyes, and said in surprise, "This person...has admitted it?"

  Zhang An Shidao: "Although he didn't admit it, he has also seen from his eyes and face that he has other accomplices and has other plans."

  Chen Lidao: "Since that's the case, then leave it to Humble, Humble to pry his mouth open."

  Zhang Anshi nodded: "Hurry up, we have already scared the snake, and we must make a quick decision."

Speaking of this, Zhang Anshi's handsome face showed a bit of anger, and said: "Those damned Dongchang, we have been watching for so long, maybe we can find out Chen Deng's real intentions! As a result...they took People, now they have caused us a lot of trouble."

  Chen Li smiled wryly: "They must have held back for too long, and they really want to get some credit."

Zhang Anshi snorted coldly and said: "They want credit, so you can tell me, I will always leave them a mouthful of soup to drink! Forget it, Chen Deng, I leave it to you. After all, Chen Gong is the great hero of the emperor's grandson." , I can't bear to see him covered in bruises."

   "Here."

   In response, Chen Li hurried to work!

   Nothing to say all night.

  The next morning, a report from Jin Yiwei was delivered to Zhu Di's desk.

  Zhu Di was temporarily staying in the dormitory of the state government office. After receiving the report, he summoned Zhang Anshi to come and dismissed the left and right, but he frowned and said, "What Zhang Qing means is that this Chen Deng and others are just the tip of the iceberg?"

  Zhang Anshi rarely said solemnly: "According to my judgment, it should be so."

  Zhu Di showed anger, and couldn't help but slapped the memorial on the copybook, and said angrily: "In this way, those **** in Dongchang are still arguing."

  Zhang Anshi said awkwardly: "They probably didn't do it on purpose."

  Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "This Chen Deng...hasn't spoken yet?"

  Zhang Anshidao: "Chen Gong is still stubborn, and Jin Yiwei...is already thinking of a way."

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and said: "This person doesn't open his mouth like this, so...unless the matter is too big, he already knows that by now, he will never be spared. Besides, he should hate me to the bone, That's why I gritted my teeth."

   This is a bit sensitive.

  Zhang Anshi coughed a few times, but did not respond.

  Zhu Di didn't go any further, and asked again: "Who would conspire with him?"

   Zhang Anshi then seriously said: "This minister has already asked people to figure out the relationship between Chen Deng, from teachers and students to relatives, to colleagues...Jin Yiwei will never let go of any clues."

  Zhu Di nodded and said: "Move quickly, the accomplices are already on alert, and they must not be allowed to escape."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Follow the order."

  Zhu Di heaved a sigh of relief, the look on his face had been put away, but he showed a bit of loneliness, he sighed, and said quietly: "There are too many chaotic ministers in this world, it makes my heart chill!"

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty wants to do great things and carry out the New Deal, but he will inevitably be opposed by people, and even some people have ulterior motives to breed other attempts! Isn't this the case from the beginning of Qin Shihuang to the present? Your Majesty... How many people in the world oppose His Majesty? As long as His Majesty is doing the right thing, then more people in the world will be grateful to His Majesty."

  Zhu Di nodded and nodded: "Well..."

  ...

   and state.

   At this time, in this bustling market, there is a big business house, which is well-known in Qixia, and it is the newly-emerged Ma's Shipping Company.

  Many commercial firms have come here to list their names, which has become a fashion.

  It's just today, but the treasurer of this shipping company has brought a group of guys to wait here.

   Soon, a gorgeous carriage stopped in front of the door.

   One person got out of the car slowly, and the shopkeeper immediately laughed, showing longing for his boss.

  His owner, not only came from the number one scholar, but also grew rapidly after a short time in business.

   Now, in just one or two years, it has been able to keep pace with other big shipping companies.

  Such skills are legendary.

   Ma Yu nodded at the shopkeeper and said, "How is the business here?"

"It's not bad." The shopkeeper bowed respectfully and said: "The owner started to deploy here in Hezhou last year. It is indeed on the right path. Who would have thought that Hezhou can develop so rapidly, and our shipping company will follow suit. A piece of the pie, especially in this place, is the most enthusiastic about Xibei products from outside the region, they are rich... Our overseas spices, ivory and other things are in short supply."

  Ma Yu smiled, pursed her lips and said: "From last year to this year, this is the fastest growing one, but... it's not enough just to do this business."

  The shopkeeper heard it, and said in surprise: "The owner means..."

Ma Yu said with a smile: "I came here just for this matter. This is different from the state and other places in the world. Here...whether the ship company can surpass other peers and become the number one ship company in the world depends on these days." .”

  The treasurer was dumbfounded when he heard this. So far, Mars Shipping is only the third largest shipping company in the world. No matter in terms of the size of the ships or the annual profit, there is a gap between the first and second largest shipping companies.

  But the owner said that in just a short period of time, he could surpass other boat companies, but he felt incredible.

   But Ma Yu didn't seem to want to continue talking, but just said with a relaxed face: "I heard that His Majesty also moved here?"

  The shopkeeper said: "Yes, it's in the state office. After all, the emperor's grandson is here, and His Majesty loves him dearly. I also heard that the factory guards have caught many rebels."

Ma Yu smiled and said: "The matter of the rebellious party is not so simple. But... speaking of it, our boat trip is thanks to these rebellious parties! Without them, Ma and others will not find the opportunity to sail a thousand miles a day .”

  The more the shopkeeper listened, the more confused he became.

But Ma Yu obviously didn't intend to talk about it in depth. He just said: "Prepare the money and continue to deploy in Hezhou. You need as much land, warehouses, and manpower as you have. Besides... I heard that Wuhu His Highness the Prince of the County also came to Hezhou with him, but he didn't know where he lived, but he didn't know...whether he could visit him. This His Highness...can't be underestimated, he is the real God of Wealth."

  Ma Yu's face was full of appreciation.

  Then the shopkeeper said: "The villain will arrange it now."

   Ma Yu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Thank you."

  The shopkeeper was flattered, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare."

  Ma Yu just nodded, he was full of ambition, it seemed that at this moment, he already had a strategy in his chest.

  …

  At this time, Zhang Anshi was still in the Baihu Office, hoping to get some information from Chen Deng.

  It’s just that Chen Deng, no matter how much he suffered, has refused to let go of his mouth so far, which made Zhang Anshi feel a little annoyed.

   But at this time, a school captain came quickly, took a name card and handed it forward, saying: "Your Highness, there is a person who claims to be Ma Yu, and wants to see him."

  Zhang Anshi didn't even think about it, so he subconsciously said: "I don't see, this king is very busy now, this king is here in Hezhou, how come there are so many people wanting to pay respects! Didn't you see that this king is busy?"

  As he spoke, Zhang Anshi was taken aback for a moment, as if he had suddenly realized it, and then said, "Ma Yu?"

  He frowned, and after muttering, he realized...he had an impression of Ma Yu.

  This person is the number one scholar, and later the Taiping Prefecture transported grain, and Ma Yu's merchant ships also contributed a lot.

  Zhang Anshi couldn't help but said to himself: "This guy... why did he suddenly come to Hezhou..."

Zhang Anshi was thoughtful, and then... His eyes widened slightly, as if thinking of something, he murmured: "No way, no way, this guy... just smelled a huge business opportunity? His mother, this People really are talents!"
