Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1107 The holy driver goes on tour

  Fang Jifan could see the resentment in Zhu Houzhao's eyes.

  But there is no way.

   This guy is indeed a general.

  But...I'm sorry, you have spent so much money on me, Fang Jifan, why don't you obediently study steamships? With one mind and two purposes, dare to love this money, didn't you pay for it?

  Zhu Houzhao laughed: "Haha, what's so great about this, I won't partner with you."

   As he spoke, he went away in a spirited manner.

   Fang Jifan became a little worried when he saw this.

  This guy...if he messes around with me, I'd be more at ease.

  However, he went so freely, but Fang Jifan felt that Zhu Houzhao was going to do something wrong again.

  Fang Jifan sighed and thought to himself, what should we be afraid of when Fang Jifan walks upright and walks straight? there is always a solution to a problem.

  Since His Majesty trusted him so much, Fang Jifan did not dare to be sloppy.

   Personnel need to be recruited, but... Xishan doesn’t have many things, only strong young men. The money for raising soldiers must come from the internal treasury, so you don’t suffer. First recruit three to five hundred backbones.

   And… what?

   You have to call Wang Jinyuan. This guy can write and count, and he is best at such miscellaneous things. He is a very qualified logistics manager.

  To tell the truth, if it wasn’t because Wang Jinyuan was pitiful, Fang Jifan really wanted to **** this guy and become the head of the Consort Duwei’s Mansion.

   What a pity, what a pity, we, Fang Jifan, are still kind-hearted after all.

  Thinking of this, Fang Jifan felt a little regretful.

  …

   "Your Majesty..." Xiao Jing walked quickly into Fengtian Hall.

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned, looking at a memorial in his hand.

  Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be in a bad mood. This was an impeachment memorial, and the person impeached was actually the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, that is, Wu Kuan, his lecturer when he was in the East Palace.

  Wu Kuan wrote a stern memorial, criticizing the current chaos, especially the abundance of the internal treasury.

  Not only that, a few days ago, after the poisoning case happened in Honghe Temple, Emperor Hongzhi was furious, and he turned his anger on the Minister of Honghe Temple, and wanted to punish the Minister of Honghe Temple.

   This is understandable, the incident happened in Honglu Temple, as the chief officer of Honglu Temple, there is no reason why he should not be punished.

  In Wu Kuan's memorandum, he believed that this matter was not the fault of Honglu Temple Minister.

  In the memorandum, he added a particularly dazzling word...benevolence and justice are not done!

   Seeing these four words, Emperor Hongzhi almost exploded.

  Benevolence and justice are not enforced... This is an extremely severe criticism of the palace.

  Actually... Over the years, the ministers love to talk about the good and the bad in the palace, criticize the affairs in the palace, and ask Emperor Hongzhi to correct his behavior.

Even at the beginning, because Empress Zhang had only one son, the prince, the ministers thought that the heir of Emperor Hongzhi was not prosperous, so someone directly reported it, thinking that this must not be the problem of Emperor Hongzhi. Hmm... This must be Empress Zhang's problem. Her Majesty is also a man, so she must be lustful. There are so many beautiful women in the harem, why is it that Her Majesty is not here? Thinking about it this way, it must be because of Empress Zhang. Empress Zhang must be jealous and cannot tolerate Her Majesty. Messing with flowers and messing with grass... So, you see, His Majesty's heirs are not prosperous.

  They severely criticized Emperor Hongzhi for not being close to women, and at the same time denounced Empress Zhang for being jealous and not abiding by women's morals.

  Empress Zhang found out that she was about to blow up. The emperor is lustful. You call him a womanizer and a king of subjugation. You don’t have many children, so you call him this?

  Emperor Hongzhi behaved peacefully for all kinds of speculation and bold criticism. He was happy to be impeached by officials for his mistakes so that he could reflect on himself.

   It's just... this sentence of "no benevolence and righteousness" is really too obtrusive.

  Emperor Hongzhi stared at these four words, especially when he thought that the person who criticized him was actually his lecturer when he was in the East Palace, and his current minister of officials. This made him feel heavy and uncomfortable.

  In these years, haven’t I done anything that benefits the country and the people? Such denial is not just trying to fulfill your reputation of loyalty.

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed, like a lump in his throat, raised his head, saw Xiao Jing coming in, and said sharply: "What's the matter?"

   "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty will be served tea by your servant."

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned again: "Is there no clue about the poisoning case of King Xing's son?"

   "Slave... Slave..." Xiao Jing smiled wryly, it's only been a few days: "Slave is stepping up."

   "Useless things!" Emperor Hongzhi was particularly irritable today: "I can't do this little thing well. This factory has a huge amount of guards, and countless public funds are wasted. What are they doing?"

Xiao Jing didn't expect His Majesty to be so angry, he wanted to explain, and now he just started to investigate, not to mention his clan is involved, there is not enough evidence, how dare he make a conclusion easily, but he didn't dare to explain, just knelt down On the jade steps of Jinluan, kowtow is like pounding garlic.

  Emperor Hongzhi stood up, held back the anger in his heart, and put Wu Kuan's memorial aside, but thought about it again.

  So, he brought up the Zhubi again, gritted his teeth, and wanted to use the pen to reprimand Wu Kuan, exposing his straight name.

  It's just...the Zhu pen just touched the memorial, and Emperor Hongzhi was stunned again. If the impeachment of the minister is regarded as a name for selling, then what is the difference between Zhen and the first emperor of Chenghua?

  Hey, if this is the case, from now on, no one will dare to speak out that he has committed a crime. If all the officials are silent, everyone will only praise His Majesty's sage, and who will blame me for my mistakes.

  He hesitated in his heart, and finally, he picked up the Zhu pen and wrote Zhu Zhu: "I should think twice about what you say."

  After writing these four words, my heart was extremely complicated. I felt that I had the grievance of knocking out my front teeth and swallowing in my stomach, but at the same time, I felt that a matter of my heart was finally resolved.

  He continued to flip through the next memorial, which was actually sent by the East Palace.

Seeing that it was the crown prince’s memorandum, I looked at it again, and it was obvious that the cabinet did not dare to draft it because it was the crown prince’s fault, so I read it carefully. After reading it, I had to jump again: “Didn’t I approve a Donggongwei? How did you come out?” A righteous right back, and a wicked left back?"

   "Ah..." Xiao Jing was dumbfounded.

   Zhengde right back, he can understand, but lack of moral left back...

  It's just about the crown prince, Xiao Jing didn't dare to say anything, he hurriedly said: "I don't know."

  Emperor Hongzhi's face was ashen and terrifying, and he couldn't help saying angrily: "I can't rule Wu Qing's family, and I can't rule your Zhu Houzhao?"

  Therefore, he brought up the Zhubi and criticized: "Distort my intentions, do whatever you want..."

  Written here, it is not what to say.

  Thinking about it carefully, no matter how inconspicuous the prince is, at least he didn’t point his nose at me and scold me.

  So, my heart softened, and I swiped the previous comment, and wrote: "You are the crown prince, so you can't make sex."

   After finishing writing, there is no further investigation.

  Emperor Hongzhi sat down and looked up at Xiao Jing: "How is the New Deal?"

   "Your Majesty are talking about Baoding Prefecture and Tongzhou?"

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

   "The servant girl can't tell, the servant girl doesn't understand this."

Emperor Hongzhi said, "I'm really depressed these days. Last time, Fang Jifan asked me to go to Tongzhou and Baoding Mansions to see it with my own eyes. I think I should see it. If I don't, I don't know how deep it is. The New Deal is a major national event. , is my century-old plan for the Ming Dynasty, which cannot be neglected, and I will pass the decree and choose an auspicious day to go out on patrol."

Emperor Hongzhi paused, and then took a deep look at Xiao Jing: "During my tour, the prince supervised the country. Once I went on tour, some people who plotted against the law would surely breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that since I dared to go on tour, I would definitely deal with it." The matter of the son being poisoned was not taken to heart, and the court must be tight outwardly and internally tight, and must keep a close eye on certain clan members, and report any abnormal behavior at any time."

  Xiao Jing understood something.

   This time, His Majesty is determined to win the summoning of the clan relatives to the court, and he is bound to kill the chicken as an example to the monkey, but who is the chicken?

  Going on patrol, there are countless imperial guards, personal guards, and Beijing camp officers and soldiers to protect them. There will never be any problems, but they can take this opportunity to test the reactions of the clan members.

  Not only can you observe the place and understand the implementation of the New Deal, but you can also use it to observe the clan, which is killing two birds with one stone.

  Xiao Jing bowed and said: "Slave...obey the order."

  …

  Xishan…

  Wang Jinyuan was stunned in front of the gate of the town's state mansion. On the left and right sides, banners were hung up respectively. On the other side, there is also a flag hanging, and a letter is written: The imperial order recruits the lack of morality, righteousness and bravery.

  Below the lacking guard is Gu Dayong, the **** of the Eastern Palace. Gu Dayong is sitting behind a desk, drinking tea.

   Oops... This time it was heavy rain that washed over the Dragon King Temple.

  Na Gu Dayong even squinted at this side, looking malicious, as if he was going to swallow Wang Jinyuan.

  Wang Jinyuan was a little worried, did he offend His Highness the Crown Prince?

  His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to be very difficult to mess with.

  But... my young master is not easy to mess with.

  Wang Jinyuan is about to cry.

   After a while...

   On Gu Dayong's side, another banner was hung up, and a letter was written: "His Royal Highness is personally recruiting troops."

   All of a sudden.

Most of the young people who came upon hearing the news chose to form a long queue outside the Zhengdewei, but one by one started to run to the Quidewei. The fools understand what the personal guard of His Royal Highness means. Your Highness, the future As the emperor, he is the emperor's relative and teacher, and he has a lot to do.

  Wang Jinyuan saw fewer and fewer people coming.

   It was Gu Dayong who was busy, and that Gu Dayong was smiling, like picking animals, harshly testing every applicant.

  Wang Jinyuan felt his neck was chilly.

  What can we do here, choose the rest of His Highness the Crown Prince?

   It seems… and only…

  But at this time...another group of people came, and when they reached the flag of Zhengdewei, they hung up a new flag: "His Royal Highness is recruiting troops!"

ah…

  Wang Jinyuan stared straight at the eyes. It was originally a rivalry between brothers, but now it seems that father and son are against each other?
