Chapter 517 I don’t want Qingyun, but I want peace of mind (Part 1)

"This time, we are going to raise 10,000,8,000,000,000,000,000 grains of grain?"

Zhu Di asked again, and after receiving Yang Shiqi's affirmative answer, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. If the price previously drawn up by the Ministry of Revenue was based on, the estimated number in his mind was about 20,000 shi, but now this number suddenly

Doubled, he was naturally surprised and couldn't help but praise: "Well, Wu'an Hou Zheng Heng dared to let go, Zhang Yue dared to take action, if all the civil and military forces in the world can work together like them, I can sit back and relax!"

Even though Yang Shiqi had always been mature and prudent, when he heard the emperor's biased judgment at this moment, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Yangwu Bo's Mansion and Wu'an Marquis' Mansion were close to each other, and the two families often walked around on weekdays, not to mention that Zhang Yue was not originally

It would be really unfair to compare those ordinary civil servants who came from poor families like this. So, even though he had always regarded Zhang Yue as his nephew, at this time he felt that the emperor's praise was meant to be flattered when spread out.

I have to say one more fair word.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Yue's business is indeed good this time, but now it is just the number promised by each merchant, and it has not been put into the warehouse. Furthermore, with all due respect, the minimum price set by the household department this time was too low.

Since the salt merchants who had previously defended their support did not support the sale of salt, they should not have lowered the price so low all of a sudden. After all, Guo Shangshu..."

Yang Shiqi almost said that Guo Zi was not as good as Xia Yuanji, but he quickly changed his words: "After all, Guo Shangshu was afraid that the merchants would not be willing to win, which would delay the Northern Expedition, so he would rather set the price lower, so

Only Zhang Yue could have such leeway. Moreover, the most important thing is that the emperor is wise and agrees not to pay salt. Otherwise, the merchant will slip up and his trick will not work. And if there is no Mianren's idea, the emperor will not promote him again.

He does not have the title of governor of Xuanfu, and he will not be allowed to preside over Kaizhong this time."

All emperors like to hear flattery, and Zhu Di is no exception. But after all, he is the emperor who conquered the world on horseback. The ordinary level of flattery can no longer impress him, but Yang Shiqi's comprehensive words are indeed to his liking. Hahahaha

After laughing for a while, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was wonderful to refute the two discussions between Xungui and Qiqing. The title of commander is easy, but even if Zhang Yue has some military strategy, after all, he cannot lead troops into battle; as for official positions

After being promoted to one or two levels, he was no longer idle. These cabinet ministers who had personally promoted him to the cabinet knew his intentions well and put him in a position that was both important and did not require rank.

"Okay, I know you love the house and the bird, but don't be too harsh on others. Young people can suppress them, but they should also be praised when they should be praised. Can't I even praise him a few words?"

He casually put the memorial that made him feel very good on the desk, and then flipped through the other memorials sent by the East Palace. When he suddenly turned to one of the memorials, his movements suddenly stopped. Just now

The face that was still smiling suddenly turned gloomy. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the large vermilion seal, and an indescribable emotion arose in his heart.

The King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, invites him to enter the court in the first month!

Seeing that the emperor's face was not very good, Yang Shiqi naturally knew which memorial was responsible for the trouble. He had no feelings for Zhu Gaoxu, who had caused Huang Huai and other former officials of the East Palace to be imprisoned, and had made him go to the Jinyiwei prison.

I have the slightest favorable impression. However, the emperor ordered him to be demoted to Le'an, and he was also the emperor who said that he was not allowed to enter the palace for no reason. Moreover, since the vassal was established in the 15th year of Yongle, the King of Han had not set foot outside Shandong for nearly five years. However,

, the situation of the King of Han was just a matter of the emperor’s thoughts.

"We are about to march to the north, why is he joining in the fun at this time!" Zhu Di coldly threw the memorial on the table, and then said lightly, "Let the prince write back and tell the king of Han that he is now the king of the vassal, and don't think about entering at any time.

Capital, it is his duty to cultivate his character well! It is enough for his son to be in the capital now. After the first month, I will lead my troops to go on an expedition, so I have no time to deal with him!"

The emperor's answer was very affectionate to Yang Shiqi, but as a cabinet minister, sometimes like the prince, he had to say a few words against his will. At this time, he had to give a few more words of advice, but he immediately changed his mind before Zhu Di got angry.

The topic was changed, and he gently reminded that King Zhou had stayed in the capital for too long, and there had been some bad discussions in the court.

He was also thinking about his close friends. Seeing that Du Yishan's beloved son-in-law and disciple was established with great success, the emperor still refused to let him go. How long will this wait? If he really suspected that he was connected with the King of Zhou, he would simply

Confronted

Ask the King of Zhou; if you don’t believe it, at least you have to have an explanation. The former Imperial Censor Chen Ying was harsh and mean, but the current Imperial Censor Liu Guan’s eyes widened when he saw money. The officials who were supposed to speak outright about state affairs have simply become a bunch of people.

Buzzing flies!

Thinking of Zhang Yue's impassioned and even fierce memorial, Zhu Di frowned again. Originally, he was imprisoned just for a moment of anger, but since the censor revealed that Du Zhen had been in contact with Zhu Xi, he couldn't help but

I remembered the past when Du Zhen repeatedly refused to be summoned. He killed the ten clans of Fang Xiaoru, Qitai, Huang Zicheng and others, and many famous scholars.

Everyone disappeared, including those who had not received much favor from Emperor Jianwen. If he had not had a group of military officers and nobles who could be used as his arms at that time, and did not bother to pursue the investigation, I am afraid he would have killed him at that time.

There were a large number of them. When Du Zhen was finally summoned to come to court, he questioned him face to face, and the answer he received at that time made him very satisfied.

"Go to the Fusi Imperial Prison in Jinyiwei North Town and ask Du Yishan on my behalf. The impeachment of the imperial censor is true!"

Generally speaking, in the Fusi Imperial Prison in Beizhen, only middle-ranking officials came to deliver the order, or the royal guards directly recommended people. Ministers from the court rarely came here, so Yang Shiqi, who came here in response to the order, was a big surprise to everyone.

Fortunately, from the cell boss to the jailer, those important

All the ministers took good care of them, and Du Zhen was the one they cared about most. Unexpectedly, Yang Shiqi saw something he shouldn't have seen during this trip. After hearing the news, Fusi Town, Beizhen sent people to fly

He reported to Yuan Fang and personally accompanied Yang Shiqi to the South Prison.

Yang Shiqi, who has experienced the experience of imprisonment, is no stranger to the cells with almost the same shape. Along the way, he found many familiar faces, from Huang Huai to Yang Pu to Jin Wen Ruishan, from Xia Yuanji to Wuzhong

, all of them are his former colleagues. Since he did not slow down, occasionally

Someone would raise their head and take a look at him. His gaze, as calm as a pool of stagnant water, was extremely heart-stopping. When he arrived in front of Du Zhen's prison, he saw the man sitting in front of the simple table writing like the others.

, with a charcoal pot next to it, he shouted before the prison door opened.

"Yishan!"

Du Zhen looked up when he heard this, and after recognizing Yang Shiqi, he put the pen on the pen holder - since his family gave him the four treasures of the study, he never used the ones provided by the jailer for free. After all, he didn't choose anything else, but he didn't care about this one.

A little picky - he rubbed his wrists and stood up, then walked around the waiter and walked forward.

"Brother Shiqi, why are you here? Since you are accompanied by Zhenfu, your brother must have come under the emperor's order? What, but you have something to ask me?"

"It's been like this, but you still look like this!" Yang Shiqi smiled bitterly, shook his head, and then asked, "Why do I have to ask questions according to the order, instead of pardoning you according to the order?"

"If you want to pardon me, an edict is enough, so why do you need to come here in person?"

Although he knew that Du Zhen was sharp when he worked together in the Hanlin Academy, Yang Shiqi thought that he could not be so calm and calm when he was in prison. After sighing deeply, he said seriously: "Zuo Chun

Yang Shiqi, a scholar of Fang University, was ordered to interrogate Du Zhen. The day before yesterday, the imperial censor impeached you for having secretly communicated with the vassal king when you were living in Kaifeng. Is this true? "

There were several vassal kings in Kaifeng, but even if Yang Shiqi did not point it out clearly, Du Zhen knew that the other party was referring to the most important one. He bowed calmly without any hesitation and replied: "Report to the emperor, this matter is true.

"

Yang Shiqi originally thought that this must be someone else's nonsense, but he never expected that Du Zhen would admit it as soon as he opened his mouth. He couldn't help but be stunned. In desperation, he asked without thinking, "You don't have any explanation?"

"The emperor only asked whether it was true or not. Brother Shiqi, please tell the truth."

At this moment, even Yang Shiqi, who had always been good-tempered, had an urge to become angry. Knowing that Du Zhen must not know what was going on outside in prison, he actually didn't care that there was Beizhen Fusi Zhenfu next to him, and his face was full of annoyance.

color.

"Yishan, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your daughter and son-in-law! Zhang Yue was trapped in Xinghe for nearly half a month. He tried his best to defeat the Arutai offensive, and finally delayed him until Yinwara took advantage of the situation.

After attacking and retreating, he achieved great success; the emperor ordered him to patrol the Xuanfu, and he successfully completed the task of opening the center; at this time when everyone was in trouble, he did not forget the previous memorial to guarantee

You... think about it for yourself, and at least write a memorial to explain it clearly to the Emperor!"

Seeing Yang Shiqi angrily walking away, followed hurriedly by everyone from the Zhenfu to the jailer, Du Zhen shook his head and sighed. This is not something that others can't find out if he doesn't want to admit it. Besides,

The emperor had no intention of asking him to explain, so why should he bother to talk and provoke others to attack? Besides, with Zhu Di's suspicious temperament, I'm afraid he had sent a royal guard early in the morning. It was really an unexpected surprise to get the news about Zhang Yue.

Squinting his eyes slightly, a smile appeared on Du Zhen's usually cold face. When he was a private school teacher in the Zhang Family School, some of the students were more talented than Zhang Yue, and some were more diligent and attentive, but he was not so good at it.

The little guy has a bad temper towards him. Now that his former student has become his son-in-law, what's even more valuable is that his mind is still the same as before, which makes him feel more gratified than doing big things. I don't want Qingyun to feel at ease, this is really the student he taught.

As he was thinking about it, a random thought suddenly came into his mind.
