Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1158 Lord of Yao and Shun

   First took a carriage and went to a place to meet Emperor Hongzhi.

  Emperor Hongzhi was indeed dressed in casual clothes. When Fang Jifan saw His Majesty, he smiled wryly. Recently, His Majesty has a bit of a bad taste.

  But he can understand Emperor Hongzhi's thoughts.

   To observe the sentiments of the people, after all, I was led to ruin by myself.

  Emperor Hongzhi seemed in a good mood, he was in the same car with Fang Jifan, every time Fang Jifan was in the same car with Emperor Hongzhi, he could see Xiao Jing's resentful eyes.

  Emperor Hongzhi was sitting in the car, and he said calmly: "I remember that your disciple Tang Yin once gave a memorial, severely criticizing the unreasonableness of the Wei system. At that time, I didn't take it seriously, but today... I want to see it in person."

  Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Bohu is a man who leads troops in Ningbo, so he can't understand the habits of the inland guards."

  Emperor Hongzhi fell silent.

  The ones who went this time were the Yongqing Zuowei. The Yongqing Zuowei were inconspicuous in the capital. Before that, they only defended the periphery of the capital.

   It's just... With the development of the new city, the Yongqing left guard has become more important because it is quite close to the new city.

The chariots and horses soon arrived at the site of Yongqing Zuowei. It was not much different from ordinary farms. Looking around, there were endless wheat fields. It seemed that it was the harvest season. Countless ragged people were harvesting. wheat.

   These are all military fields, and Emperor Hongzhi sat in a carriage all the way to Yongqingwei's camp.

   It's just that the big camp has long been dilapidated, and there is no one guarding the camp gate. There is only an old soldier who moved a bench here.

  Emperor Hongzhi got out of the car, and Fang Jifan followed immediately.

He suddenly thought that he was the imperial envoy, and Emperor Hongzhi was just his entourage, so he walked to the front obediently, with a wink, a guard stepped forward and shouted at the old soldier: "Duke Qi is ordered to serve you!" The decree came to patrol the camp, where are the people?"

   "Ah..." The old soldier was taken aback, dumbfounded for a long time.

   "Patrolling the camp, why didn't you say earlier that Commander Chen is still at home?"

  Fang Jifan stepped forward: "Where is his home, tell him to roll here."

   "..." The old soldier had heard of Fang Jifan's name, and his face turned pale with fright: "This... this... is in Xincheng."

  Xincheng...

  Fang Jifan gritted his teeth: "What about the fellow?"

   "Commander Liu Tongzhi is also at home." The old soldier said tremblingly, "Why don't you humble yourself and call him?"

  Fang Jifan looked back at Emperor Hongzhi.

  Emperor Hongzhi was dumbfounded.

   The military officers...were not in the battalion at all.

  Fang Jifan narrowed his eyes: "When will they come to the camp?"

  The old soldier was so frightened that he dared not speak.

  Fang Jifan sternly said: "Your command is great, but I am the best. If you are blind, don't you know who I am, Fang Jifan?"

   "Say, say..." The old soldier **** in fright, the words Fang Jifan... I've heard it before: "I will come twice a month."

  Fang Jifan looked around: "Where are the soldiers?"

  The old soldier hesitated and said, "They are all going to harvest the wheat."

  Fang Jifan said: "You are the only one in this camp?"

  The old soldier said: "The humble man has trouble with his legs and feet. The superior officer takes pity on the humble man and lets the humble man guard the gate here."

  Fang Jifan couldn't help but said: "How many days do you practice in the camp, how many days do you practice?"

  The old soldier seemed to feel that something was wrong, but looking at Fang Jifan in a python robe, he was surprisingly obedient: "March and May, when the Ministry of War comes."

  Fang Jifan wanted to ask again, but when he turned around, he saw that Emperor Hongzhi had already pulled his face, turned around and left.

  Fang Jifan couldn't care less about the old soldier, so he hurriedly chased after him, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, are you... not going to the camp?"

  Emperor Hongzhi looked up at the scorching sun. After getting out of the car, he was already sweating profusely.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "What are you doing in the camp?"

  Fang Jifan smiled awkwardly: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty is really wise."

  Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "Speaking of Shengming, I cut off your tongue."

  Fang Jifan's scalp was numb, knowing that Emperor Hongzhi was angry again.

  Xiao Jing stood aside, smiling, muttering in his heart, sometimes you, Fang Jifan, were photographed on the horse's leg.

  Fang Jifan immediately raised his face, and said eloquently: "Even if you cut your tongue, I will say that your majesty is as wise as Yao and Shun, and Yu Tang can't match it!"

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

  His face softened, looked at the tragic Fang Jifan, and showed a bitter smile, he patted Fang Jifan's shoulder: "Hey..."

  Xiao Jing: "..."

  Xiao Jing was a little dazed, at this moment, he couldn't laugh anymore, this Fang Jifan... really amazing.

  Emperor Hongzhi cheered up, Fang Jifan's words gave him some warmth.

  Perhaps... this is really out of Fang Jifan's heart.

He is his son-in-law, and at the beginning... I was also watching him grow up. At that time... Emperor Hongzhi thought to himself, at that time, he was only eleven or twelve years old, with an immature face, in his heart... Maybe... I was Holy.

   As soon as he thought of this, Emperor Hongzhi felt a little rippling in his heart. He put his hands behind his back, yes, in front of the child, let Shengming show him.

  Facing the gentle eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, next... shall we..."

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Walk around."

   "Abiding by the order!" Fang Jifan said obediently.

  Speaking, Emperor Hongzhi went first, Xiao Jing wanted to catch up, but Emperor Hongzhi waved to Fang Jifan: "Jifan, come here."

   "Oh." Fang Jifan pushed Xiao Jing aside: "Make way, don't get in the way."

   Xiao Jing smiled: "Okay, okay, Duke Qi, please first."

   Eyes... like a wronged little daughter-in-law.

  All the way...walking aimlessly.

Emperor Hongzhi was already covered in hot sweat, his face looked a little pale, it was too hot, he took a deep breath, and said, "This is still the guardhouse that guards the capital, other guardhouses in the world must be...not much better. "

  Fang Jifan thought for a while: "Yes. However, there are quite a few military households who went to sea with their father."

   "No wonder... the Japanese pirates were rampant at the time, and it was like entering a land of no one." Emperor Hongzhi said calmly, as if he had prepared for the worst.

   "It seems that it's not that the Japanese pirates were cruel, nor is it that they are so great. If you ask the root cause, it's that the root is rotten." Emperor Hongzhi actually smiled: "What do you think of Jifan?"

  Fang Jifan said: "There is no unchanging law in the world. When Emperor Taizu Gao was there, this set was effective. At that time, the world had just been pacified, and the country needed peace and prosperity, but..."

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

   Soon, they arrived at the field ridge near the camp, where countless military households were scrambling for wheat.

  An old man was holding a sickle, his upper body was naked, and his exposed skin was tanned like black charcoal.

   This old man is obviously not too young. When he saw someone coming, he only glanced at it and continued to harvest.

  Emperor Hongzhi stood with his hands behind his back and watched from the sidelines.

  The weather was extremely hot, and after a while, Emperor Hongzhi's clothes were soaked through.

  Xiao Jing hurriedly went to the neighborhood, fetched cold spring water and offered it.

  Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "Go and ask Jifan if he wants to drink."

  Fang Jifan was impolite, snatched Xiao Jing's water, muttered and drank it in one gulp: "It's delicious, go get another one."

   "This is for His Majesty." Xiao Jing couldn't help saying.

  Emperor Hongzhi still stood still, staring at it for half an hour, he couldn't take it anymore.

  Emperor Jian Hongzhi remained silent, and the others waited patiently wherever they dared to speak.

  At this time, the old man finally couldn't take it anymore, just put down his sickle, and looked at the dozens of strange people in the field.

   After thinking for a while, he came to the ridge of the field and saluted: "I don't know, gentlemen..."

  When he saw the python robe Fang Jifan was wearing, he thought it was unusual.

  Fang Jifan said with a smile: "You continue to cut, we are here to watch, do not hinder you."

  Old man: "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi glared at Fang Jifan, but said, "Give him some water and some food."

   "Ah..." The old man was taken aback.

   Then someone took out a few cakes from the bag, filled them with clear springs, and brought them to the old man.

  The old man was not polite. Although he seemed hesitant, he was very grateful. After taking the cake, he was reluctant to eat it, but put it away, took a sip of water, and smacked it in his mouth.

  Xiao Jing couldn't help but said: "Give you the cake, what are you doing hiding?"

   "Go back and give it to my grandson." The old man said.

  The word grandson seemed to have touched Emperor Hongzhi's mind. He smiled: "I also have a grandson. He is ten years old this year and he is not small."

  The old man said: "Your grandson must be extraordinary."

  Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be moved by the word "extraordinary", with a smile on his face.

  That little guy is both civil and military, of course extraordinary, the only shortcoming is that he is too impulsive, of course, this is what a teenager should be.

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "I don't know the old man's surname Gao."

   "The younger one is Gao Laohe."

  Gao Lao and...

  This name is quite rare.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "This weather is really hot. It would be nice if it rained."

  Gao Laohe was overjoyed, grinning and showing his yellow teeth: "This can't be done. If there is a sudden heavy rain, the wheat will rot in the ground before it can be harvested."

  Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed dumbfoundedly: "Come, sit down and talk."

  As he spoke, he didn't shy away from it, and sat down on the ridge of the field in a big way.

  Gao Laohe didn't dare to sit down, but squatted down: "Your nobles come here..."

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Passing by here, I just want to take a look. This is the left guard of Yongqing. It's next to the capital. It's really a good place."

"Of course." Gao Laohe nodded again and again: "According to calculations, it is also at the feet of the emperor. These years, although the weather has not been smooth, the world has been peaceful. Thanks to the great blessing of the court, you guys have finally passed a few years of peaceful life .”

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled. Of course, he was not touched by this peaceful life.

  If this is the day when Taiping was born, then... this so-called peaceful and prosperous age is really worthless.
