Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1094 Heaven and Earth Shatter

  Fang Jifan is enjoying himself, His Majesty is really discerning.

   It is an honor to be able to follow such a leadership, no, Your Majesty.

  Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "This...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really thinks that Wu Kuan is unfair to Jingchao."

  Emperor Hongzhi narrowed his eyes, and then said: "Then, what does Fang Qing's family think?"

  Fang Jifan said seriously: "I don't know Wu Kuan, but... I still think that His Majesty will visit in person, maybe he will have his own opinions."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "New Deal, there must be no mistakes. This is indeed a major event. You don't know Wu Kuan, but I do. More than 20 years ago, Wu Kuan taught me the study of classics and righteousness. He is a gentleman. , I have no doubts."

   "Yes, yes, yes, he is a gentleman, and my ministers have heard that he is a very upright person." Fang Jifan followed the words of Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "You guys, I'm really in trouble. The palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh. If I visit Baoding and Tongzhou, it will inevitably chill the hearts of Wu Qing's family. Besides, my imperial edict has already been issued, and the gold is opened. Mouth, it’s hard to get overwhelmed.”

  Zhu Houzhao said: "Father, if you know your mistakes, you can correct them..."

  Fang Jifan coughed desperately aside.

  Emperor Hongzhi pulled his face down, but glared at the two of them: "It seems that if I don't agree, you still want to tie me up and go."

  Zhu Houzhao seemed to have been told what was on his mind, and his face flushed suddenly.

  Fang Jifan hurriedly said in fear and trepidation: "My son and minister will die, I never have such an idea."

   "It's really outrageous." Hongzhi said angrily: "Okay, don't talk about it anymore, I will think about this matter and think about it."

   Zhu Houzhao seemed very unconvinced, but he didn't know what to say.

   "Also, don't make any plans, don't think that I can't rule you." Emperor Hongzhi was extraordinarily strict.

These two guys are really in the opposite direction. The results of the Beijing inspection have been confirmed. They wanted to cover up their private interests, so they urged me to go on inspections. How can inspections be so easy, even if they are only within the capital, and when they leave the capital, It is still going to shock the world.

  Seeing the panic of the two, Emperor Hongzhi softened his heart: "Even if you want to inspect, you still need to decide on a good date. Let's make a decision after my brother, that is, your uncle King Xing enters Beijing."

  Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "I obey the order."

   Part of the goal achieved.

  At least... His Majesty was relieved, which made Fang Jifan ashamed. In fact, he was not worried about His Majesty, but the prince. If His Majesty did not agree, Fang Jifan could not guarantee what crazy things Zhu Houzhao would do.

   It's all right now, at least... peace of mind.

  Fang Jifan was busy thanking him, and just about to leave Fengtian Hall, when he came face to face, someone almost bumped into Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jifan couldn't help thinking in his heart, which dog-like thing in the deep palace dared to be so reckless.

  Take a step back and take a look...it is actually Liu Jian.

  Liu Jian seemed very restless, behind him Li Dongyang and Xie Qian were also in a hurry, Liu Jian saw Fang Jifan, and immediately said: "Duke Qi, wait a moment, the old man happens to have something to play, just listen in."

   Seeing Liu Jian's nervous appearance, Fang Jifan was surprised.

  The sky is falling?

  Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to re-enter the palace. Liu Jian took a memorial and bowed down: "Your Majesty...the minister has something to play, because the situation is urgent...how rude."

  Emperor Hongzhi had just stabilized Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan, but seeing the expressions of Liu Jian and the three of them were serious, he thought in his heart that there were really ups and downs, and he said, "But it's okay to say."

   "Your Majesty, I have just received the memorabilia from Shou Ninghou and Jianchang Bo. Your Majesty, please have a look."

  Emperor Hongzhi thought to himself, Marquis Shouning and Uncle Jianchang, what kind of trouble can these two guys make?

  Emperor Hongzhi thought it was funny: "Bring it to me and have a look."

  Zhu Houzhao was full of curiosity, and also wanted to know what was being played in the memorabilia.

  Only Fang Jifan took it indifferently.

  Xiao Jing took the memorial and sent it to Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi opened it and looked down.

   In my heart... I suddenly felt like I was RI the dog.

  Call the clans from all over the world to Beijing...

  To Beijing…

  The two brothers wrote with both voice and emotion, such as the fact that the clan is separated from flesh and blood, brothers and uncles and nephews cannot meet each other.

   There is only one meaning. The clansmen have been looking forward to staying with His Majesty for a long, long time.

   Even for example, there are many princes, county kings, and auxiliary generals in the clan, who died young. Why is this? This is because they are lonely and depressed.

   Not only that, they also cited some viewpoints in a paper in the Quora journal, "On Heart Disease", thinking that losing the happiness of human relationship between relatives is easy to die early.

  Emperor Hongzhi stared straight in the eyes, and he looked up in surprise, very dazed.

   Subconsciously, he set his eyes on Fang Jifan: "Fang Qing's family, what's going on?"

  This has to make people suspicious.

  A few days ago, I came up with the idea that I wanted to use this to cut down the feudal clan, but when I turned my head, the Zhang family brothers played. If it has nothing to do with Fang Jifan, then there is something wrong.

  Fang Jifan hurriedly denied it.

   This is a big deal, I, Fang Jifan, can't die yet, I want to keep my body useful, but... the Zhang family brothers are moving too fast.

  A few days ago, they spent a lot of money to buy hundreds of houses. Obviously, the current mansion is enjoying a good price.

  Fang Jifan thought that it would take at least a year and a half before these two guys played, and it was only a few days...

  Fang Jifan immediately said: "I don't know what His Majesty said?"

  Emperor Hongzhi knocked on the copybook: "Brothers Zhang, two uncles, please summon the clan to Beijing."

"Ah." Fang Jifan was even more surprised: "Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with my humble minister. The two uncles have always had prejudices against me. They have always been incompatible with my ministers. This is a well-known fact in the world. .”

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

  Liu Jian was heartbroken.

"This matter is of great importance. Ever since Emperor Taizu Gao, outsiders were never allowed to discuss matters concerning the clan. Afterwards, when Emperor Wen arrived, Emperor Wen was still careful with the clan. The problem can be said to be very cautious. Today... the two uncles of the state will play, and it will definitely cause an uproar. Not only the clan is suspicious and worried, but the whole court will also be in an uproar. The reason why the old minister thinks that this matter is of great importance is because, The person who gave the memorial was not someone else, but a relative of the state. These two relatives will inevitably make the outside world suspect. This... is His Majesty's original intention... Your Majesty... The old minister means... This matter will definitely cause a huge panic. One careless, The consequences could be disastrous."

   Li Dongyang and Xie Qian obviously think so too.

   Just kidding, summon the clansmen to Beijing.

   These clans have dozens of hundreds of princes, and hundreds of county kings, not to mention the generals who assist the country and the generals who guard the country.

   There are tens of thousands of people, and this is still recognized by the royal family, and there are some who are peripheral relatives of these royal relatives, and there are countless more.

Not to mention anything else, tens of hundreds of princes, they not only have land, but also food, and even special guards. Even if their in-laws are not important court officials, they are honorable or local poets. No one in the family's family is a fuel-efficient lamp.

  If it was an ordinary censor, it would be fine to submit such a memorial, after all, no one would pay attention to it.

  What Liu Jian is worried about is precisely the sensitive identities of the Zhang brothers.

   Who are these two people? They are the emperor's brother-in-law.

  Take these two people as human beings, clan affairs, take care of them, will they worry about it?

   But why did he suddenly worry about it? There must be countless people in the outside world suspecting that behind the two uncles is the encouragement of the emperor.

  Once there are such doubts, those clans are bound to panic. They are not easy to provoke. Even if they are incapable of raising troops to fight against the imperial court, once they launch a brutal attack, at least they can make the world fall apart and fight everywhere. Even in the court, the officials never thought it was appropriate to do so.

  In the eyes of all the officials, the clansmen stayed in their own lands obediently, keeping out of sight.

  If you enter Beijing, countless princes, county kings, Fuguo generals, Zhenguo generals suddenly appear in Beijing, my mother, how do you live these days?

   I am afraid that tomorrow, the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture will directly hang up the seal, asking for a scholar.

  A tile falling from the sky can kill a few royal family members. This is simply a nightmare for the imperial court.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "This is not my original intention, and I don't know why Shou Ninghou made this memorial."

Liu Jian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "It's hard to ride a tiger now. Your Majesty, it's a dilemma now. If you just sit back and ignore it, rumors will spread, and the clans will be even more panicked. It's hard to guarantee that no one will take risks. Since the Han Dynasty, The Seven Kingdoms Rebellion started, so there are many lessons learned. But...but if His Majesty orders clarification immediately, it may not be able to dispel the doubts of the clan and officials. They just think that His Majesty instructed Shouning Hou to do this The limelight is not good, so I have no choice but to clarify immediately, which will make His Majesty ridiculed, thinking that His Majesty is afraid of the clan."

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help touching his forehead. Liu Jian was right. He was so steady, and he lost his composure today. It was indeed because this matter...it was too big.

  At the beginning, the cutting of the vassal was just an idea of ​​Emperor Hongzhi, but there were many things that Emperor Hongzhi had on his mind.

  It's all right now, the two brothers of Zhang's family... came directly to the house, pulled the ladder, crossed the river and demolished the bridge. Doesn't this mean that I will be put in the fire and water?

  Emperor Hongzhi put on a tiger face: "What are they doing with this memorial for no reason? You are relatives of the state, so they also care about this matter?"

  ...

Chapter One.
