Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1077 Great Grace

  With Zhang Heling's IQ, how could he sense something was wrong.

  Especially when he saw His Majesty holding Fang Jifan affectionately, his eyeballs almost fell out.

  What?

  But I saw Emperor Hongzhi beaming with joy.

  Fang Jifan's sentence, I have almost forgotten, it is really a stroke of genius.

   Almost forgot, modesty, really humble.

  Such a great achievement, he didn't rush to show it, but forgot it.

  Such far-reaching planning and layout have shown that Fang Jifan is planning before acting. Will such a smart person forget?

of course not!

there is only one truth!

   That means that Fang Jifan is a man with an open mind, a noble personality, and not greedy for merit.

   There are not many people like this in the Hongzhi Dynasty.

  Emperor Hongzhi continued to stare deeply at Fang Jifan, many words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't help saying: "You have forgotten such a big thing?"

   "This..." Fang Jifan squirmed: "My son...I have a bad memory recently. After all, this is just a trivial matter. My son... ah, my head hurts."

"Ha ha ha ha…"

  Emperor Hongzhi laughed.

  Head hurts... This kid is playing tricks again, when will his head not hurt, but at this time.

  This guy, I didn't expect... to be so honest and honest. If he has benefits, others will come forward to bite like a jackal, but he will be fine, as if he is still afraid of making great achievements.

  Emperor Hongzhi was both relieved and moved.

   As expected of the queen of the Fang family, he is my son-in-law.

He pulled Fang Jifan and looked around, extremely proud: "I originally thought that the first contribution to defeating the Japanese was the Marquis of Shouning and Uncle Jianchang, but now it turns out that it was actually my son-in-law captain, and the captain-in-law is not proud of the credit. He can be regarded as a model for ministers, and I have this son-in-law, which is enough to comfort me."

  Even the officials who disliked Fang Jifan at this moment, at this moment, they all respected him in awe.

   Isn’t this the virtue advocated by saints?

Putting aside Fang Jifan himself, as far as the matter is concerned, this guy is far-sighted and strategized. He made a plan to suppress the Japanese in his early years. You know, with deep merit and fame, His Majesty said that he is a model of a minister, and he is really not wrong at all.

   All the ministers said one after another: "Fang Duwei has made great contributions, but he is so humble, the ministers admire him."

   They are convinced.

  Wang Shouren's eyes filled with tears, his mentor...Unfathomable.

For countless days and nights, although Wang Shouren admired his mentor very much, he always felt that his character was a bit weird. As a senior teacher, why did he always get up every day and use vulgar words all day long? Wang Shouren had such doubts because As a founder of a sect, he always has doubts about authority. It is precisely because he always has a doubtful attitude towards authority that he created his own theory.

  But... today... the truth came to light, and all doubts suddenly became clear.

This teacher is low-key, all the laziness, vulgar words, and angry roars are hidden behind all this, is an indomitable heart that regards fame and fortune as floating clouds, this is the greatest virtue in the world, and All kinds of bad appearances are more like the self-defilement shown by those deviant celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

  This... is the truly remarkable person. His moral character and knowledge can be regarded as a model for all ages.

  Tang Yin and the others were even more relieved and showed pride. They knew that their mentor was definitely not the vulgar person on the surface...

  Zhu Houzhao could only be dumbfounded. At this moment... he was already extremely impressed, and wondered in his heart whether he had misunderstood Lao Fang.

Emperor Hongzhi's teardrops of joy were about to fall, holding up Fang Jifan's hand, Fang Jifan smiled, maybe... I really gave the Zhang family brothers some advice back then, after all, my nobleman forgets things too much, and he has a brain disease, which is troublesome , always forgetting everything, even forgetting such an important thing.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Since Emperor Taizu Gao came down, Japanese pirates have ravaged, killed our people, raped their wives and daughters, and plundered their property. They relied on my benevolence, and if they accommodated a little, these thieves would bear their fierceness and intensify. The imperial court is gentle and obedient. People from far away originally wanted peace to be the most important thing, not to cause troubles, and to abide by the original intention of virtue and rule the world, but they didn't know how to repent, and as time went by, I...benevolence was exhausted. Fang Qing's family planned for the country, worked hard, thought What I think, read what I think, and worry about what I worry about. In the early years, I set up a strategy to make the sailors around the world attack the nest of thieves, surprise them, and punish their ministers. Such a wise plan is amazing. Everyone His quality is precious, he is good at humility and self-examination, and he does not count meritorious service, so he is admired by all the people in the world. If his loyalty is like this, I am amazed."

   "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty." All the officials said one after another.

  Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back, and looked at Fang Jifan in relief: "Jifan, thank you for your hard work."

Fang Jifan shook his head: "My minister's hard work is not as good as your Majesty's, and my minister's ability to share your majesty's worries is only because of your majesty's precepts and deeds. Not worth mentioning."

  Hoo...

  Emperor Hongzhi blushed with excitement.

   What you said makes sense.

  Back then Fang Jifan was idle and had a bad reputation, but now...he has changed. What is the reason for this? Is it really the result of my precepts and deeds? All of a sudden, Emperor Hongzhi felt that the figures of himself and Fang Jifan had become extraordinarily tall.

   "I have said that I will not be stingy in rewarding the great contribution of An Min against the Japanese. I want to add Ji Fan as the Duke of the state. What do you think?"

   "Buzz..."

  The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were all in an uproar.

  Fang Jifan had already made an exception to the title of Marquis before. As the son-in-law captain, this is an extremely rare situation.

  His father has been added as a Duke...

   Now, Fang Jifan is going to be made a Duke?

   In this way, wouldn't it be the same as the Xu family, one family and two men?

  This is a special precedent for Guochao.

   But even so, Fang Jifan's contribution is indeed not small.

  Da Ming was knighted for his military exploits. This time the Pingwa was certainly the result of the efforts of the three armies, but it was absolutely inseparable from Fang Jifan's strategizing.

  The Japanese pirates who have been raging for a hundred years were dealt with by Fang Jifan at one time, and it was reasonable and reasonable for him to become a prince.

   Just...so honorable...

  Emperor Hongzhi flicked his sleeves and said sternly: "The rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and the rules and regulations can be corrected. My intention has been decided, and the Ministry of Rites will follow it and handle it without delay."

  Fang Jifan's heart... almost jumped into his throat.

   Your Majesty is very generous.

  It seems... I once misunderstood His Majesty.

   This good thing is coming, no matter how noble a person is, at this moment, he can't refuse it.

  After all, I have long thought about having a few children, so that's good, and I will have another title in the future... In the future, I can also be like the Xu family, with one family and two princes, and an extreme minister.

  Fang Jifan did not hesitate: "My son... thank you for your grace, your majesty's love, my heart is so grateful, my son can't help but want to praise, my emperor, long live your majesty!"

  Emperor Hongzhi was still very excited.

   He has made a lot of contributions, but Fang Jifan has made so many contributions, and this contribution to Pingwa is nothing.

   What excites him is Fang Jifan's modesty. I am gratified by this kid's character.

   Then, his eyes fell on the Zhang family brothers.

  These two brothers have contributed a lot.

  It's just...Shouning Hou Zhang Heling opened his mouth wide. The big mouth couldn't be closed. He opened his eyes wide without any expression on his face.

  Zhang Yanling's face is... as if he has started to wander, hey, what's going on? Is this a dream? Who am I, where am I?

Emperor Hongzhi had a gentle look on his face: "The two Qing families have made a lot of contributions. You two are my wife and brother. How can I treat you poorly? The Qing family has worked hard this time. There are credits and hard work. I will never treat you badly."

Emperor Hongzhi paused, and put his hands behind his back, showing the dignity that the emperor should have: "Shouning Hou Zhang Heling has made great contributions to the fight against the Japanese, and the contribution is indispensable. I will give you a bullfighting uniform to show his merit, and give him another five million yuan. Jianchang Bo Zhang Yanling, the reward is the same as that of his brother."

five million…

gold!

  Zhang Heling still doesn't quite understand.

   It took a long time for him to react.

  Damn it...

   Dare to feel this is a credit.

   Zhang Yanling on the side was not stupid, and blurted out: "Your Majesty... I have something to say!"

  Zhang Heling shuddered suddenly, and immediately interrupted him: "Your Majesty, he has nothing to say."

  Zhang Yanling: "..."

  He feels aggrieved, he wants to report, he wants to expose, this credit is due to our two brothers, we are the Duke of the country.

  But the elder brother didn't say anything, not only interrupted his words, he turned his head and gave Zhang Heling a murderous look.

  Zhang Yanling had no choice but to shut up.

   Zhang Heling's heart was bleeding.

   Can’t say.

  The previous words were convincing, and what he said was clear and clear. With Zhang Heling's superb IQ, it is naturally clear that once he categorically denies it at this time, the majesty and the officials may not believe his words.

   Even if you believe it, so what? If you believe it, the two of you have said so much nonsense here, isn’t this a deception? In front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he committed a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, even if His Majesty...doesn't blame him.

   But most of this credit can only be used to pay off the crime.

  Right now...at least there is still a consolation prize, five million gold rewards, um...how much is this silver discount?

  Emperor Hongzhi glanced at the two brothers worriedly: "Your Majesty, you don't look very well?"

   "Your Majesty...I...I..." Zhang Heling felt stuck in his throat.

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Thinking about it, you have a bumpy journey, eh... really suffered, and finally came back, you must take good care of your generals, and don't work any more, understand?"

  Zhang Heling cried.

  Tears poured out like a tide, he prostrated himself on the ground, crying heartbreakingly, twitching and wiping away his tears: "My... Thank you Your Majesty for your grace..."

  ...

   Ask for support.
