Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1181 Conferring the King

   A group of accompanying ministers is already noisy.

  In Tianjin Port, a carrier pigeon has already arrived.

  Under normal circumstances, any major military and political affairs will not be communicated through carrier pigeons.

  Because this thing is too unreliable.

  However... if there is a particularly urgent situation, and even if it is detected by others, it doesn't matter, it is still reliable to use carrier pigeons to deliver messages.

It’s just that the cultivation of carrier pigeons takes a lot of effort. Daming set up a carrier pigeon station between Tianjin Wei and Wa Kingdom. Scared to pee.

   Immediately, the parchment was rolled around and began to pass the news to Xingzai.

  In the hall, Ma Wensheng heard everyone scolding in full swing.

  In his heart...for Fang Jifan, he was quite complicated.

  This guy is really shameless for asking for money.

   What a shame.

  Everyone scolded fiercely, as if as long as Fang Jifan was mentioned, many people found a common topic.

  Anyway, idleness is idleness... No scolding is not worth it.

   Outside, someone hurried towards the direction of walking.

  Someone rushed in: "Master...Master...Quick, hurry...Get ready to see you."

"What happened?"

"The express news sent from Huangjinzhou was sent to Jinshan by carrier pigeons, and then from Jinshan to Japan by express boat, and then sent to our Tianjin Wei by carrier pigeons..." It was a little **** who spoke. With a look of panic on his face: "A major event happened, Franji attacked Xinjin, and Xinjin...has been wiped out...and...Liu Gong is over there, and he heard the news. There is no news about Liu Jie in this bulletin. , but Mr. Liu was still so anxious that he almost passed out."

  Everyone gasped.

   "What else happened?"

The **** had a difficult look on his face, and after a long time, he said: "There is also... Duke Lu... Duke Lu... died in battle... It is said that when the reinforcements arrived, he was wounded in more than 30 places all over his body. Before he died, I personally went into battle, fought fiercely with the bandits, and read a poem."

   All of a sudden, everyone turned pale.

  Duke Lu, he...

  Even Liang Chu fought a cold war, with a pity on his face, he asked, "He Shi?"

  The **** said: "Report to the king on the golden platform, and carry the jade dragon to die for the king!"

  In the hall, there was deathly silence, and a needle could be heard.

  After being silent for a long time, a censor suddenly said: "The Fang family, you are really the empress of Zhongliang."

   "Yes, yes, it is really loyal for generations. It is a pity that Duke Lu's ambition has not been paid. It is a pity that Fang's family has been loyal for several generations. Even Fang Jifan's dog... no, Duke Qi, he is also loyal on weekdays."

   "Duke Lu made great contributions, so why didn't his son, Duke Qi, make great contributions to Ming?"

  Everyone sighed with emotion and nodded in agreement.

  Liang Chu's eyes were red: "Hearing this sad news, Qi Guogong must be heartbroken. He is loyal to the country, and his father dies and his son succeeds him. This family is full of loyalty and kindness, which is really admirable."

  Everyone nodded even more fiercely, with regret on their faces, not hypocrisy.

  It's just... death is the most important thing. At this time, if you still speak ill of others, this is a matter of character.

  Just because Qi Guogong corrupted everyone with dozens of taels of silver, he kept yelling and scolding him. He is still young, and in the eyes of everyone present, he is still a child.

   Besides, the Duke of Lu died for the country, and his death was so tragic, which is awe-inspiring.

   Someone raised a thumbs up: "In terms of loyalty, the Fang family has been for generations, there is really no choice, gentlemen, go and see you quickly. Your Majesty is afraid..."

  Everyone came to their senses, full of worries.

  Duke Lu died in battle, and he died so tragically. Besides, who else can maintain the situation in Huangjinzhou?

  Once the situation cannot be maintained, the imperial court has exhausted their minds on the strategy of sailing to the west, isn't it...

  Everyone was sullen, especially Ma Wensheng, who was even more worried. When they arrived, all the officials saluted.

   When Emperor Hongzhi saw the report, he was stunned.

   This is just a piece of parchment, and what was sent was just a few words.

  Because it is an express report of pigeons, there are not many things that can be recorded.

   But the information here is already scary enough.

  Emperor Hongzhi took off his glasses, wiped them, put them on again, and looked at them carefully.

  Behind the glasses, the eyes were blurred by tears.

With a look of shame on his face, he couldn't help beating his chest and falling down, tears streaming out: "This is what I did to him. He is not young, but I ordered him to go to the Golden Continent. Duke Lu will serve me for the rest of his life." , in the end, it was impossible to end well, I... it was my fault."

   All the officials turned pale, and bowed down one after another: "Please don't blame yourself, Your Majesty."

  Emperor Hongzhi burst into tears. The Duke of Lu is not only his own in-laws, but the Fang family has lived and died for Daming for several generations. Now that he thinks...Fang Jifan will not know what to do if he hears the bad news, he is even more heartbroken.

Emperor Hongzhi gritted his teeth: "Franji is ambitious, good, very good, I will never give up. From then on, I, Da Ming, and Frangji will not live together! Sooner or later, I will crush Frangji , with the shame of Xue today."

Emperor Hongzhi stood up, wiped away his tears, and took off his glasses. Although his eyes were blurred, his eyes still seemed to be alive. He said sharply: "The Duke of Lu died in a foreign land. Transport his body back to his homeland, and if there is a way, all other soldiers who died in battle will also be transported back. They died in Huangjinzhou, but they should be buried in their hometown."

  Among the ministers, Liu Jian is missing. Liu Jian is not in good health. I think it is because of his son.

   Therefore, Xie Qian stood up: "Yes, the imperial court must spare no effort in manpower and material resources to transport them back."

  Emperor Hongzhi said again: "All the soldiers who died in battle will be compensated, and other than that..."

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath: "The Duke of Lu is extremely brave, so he can curb the chaos and cut down the bandits. He is ordered to go out, and he is successful. He is not reserved. Women have nothing to love, treasures have nothing to take, and Zhongzheng has nothing to do." Fault, as bright as the sun and the moon, within this dynasty, there is only one person. Breaking barbarians and barbarians, making achievements throughout the past and present; If it is sweet, for hundreds of generations, how many people are there who regard death as life? I lost my humerus in pain today, and now I lose the Duke of Lu, it is like breaking my arm. It hurts, it is a pity, it is sad, and I am angry! "

Emperor Hongzhi was already furious, almost bursting into anger, but finally took a deep breath to calm down the infinite anger, and then said slowly: "Now Qing died in battle, I am sad, and I will postulate the prince of the county, follow the precedent of the King of Zhongshan .”

  The so-called precedent of Zhongshan King is that Xu Da, the founding general, was granted the title of Wei Guogong, and after his death, he was posthumously named Zhongshan King.

   Another example is Mu Ying, the Duke of Guizhou. After his death, Zhu Yuanzhang was very distressed, so he named him King of Qianning.

  The opposite **** is crowned king, and he must die or be crowned king.

   This is the rule.

  Even if he is dead, it is a rare honor to be posthumously named king with a different surname, which is enough to shine forever.

  Emperor Hongzhi said this.

   All the officials bowed down one after another.

The Fang family has contributed a lot to the imperial court over the years, and the state of Lu justified the chaos in the southwest, managed Jiaozhi for the imperial court, and included Jiaozhi in its pocket. His son also made great contributions to the court. After that, he traveled across the ocean to guard gold Zhou, this is a narrow escape, and it can be said that he has surpassed the sun and the moon. Now that he died in battle, His Majesty's move is reasonable.

   All the officials bowed down one after another, Xie Qian said: "I don't know what the posthumous name is?"

  Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a moment: "Again!"

   All the ministers were silent.

  Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes, revealing a look of pain: "Qing and others, quickly retreat, Jifan, I have ordered someone to pass it on. I will tell him about this in private."

   All the ministers had complicated thoughts and resigned one after another.

   They went out in a mighty way, but they saw Fang Jifan approaching happily.

   "Qi Guogong."

  Everyone saluted one after another.

  Fang Jifan felt uncomfortable when he saw the swarm of ministers, and he was afraid that one of them would not control himself and beat him up in groups.

   It can be seen that everyone has a serious face, but they salute to him one after another. Even some people who don't like him usually look polite at this moment, Fang Jifan just feels more at ease.

  He hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty called me, so I won't talk to you gentlemen, ah... goodbye."

  Fang Jifan wanted to run away.

  Xie Qian called him: "Duke Qi, I have made up my mind. I will watch the ceremony in two days and buy a seat. Hey, I am old and have trouble walking. Come here. I have fifty taels of silver here. Take it."

  He took out a bank note from his sleeve and stuffed it into Fang Jifan's hand.

  Others said one after another: "I will buy one too."

   "I'll buy one too."

  Fang Jifan was stunned, he was afraid that he would not be able to sell it.

  Who expected it to be so popular.

  Seeing that everyone gathered around one after another, he took out the banknote without hesitation, and stuffed it into his hand desperately.

  Fang Jifan even wondered if there was something wrong with these guys' brains.

   "Uh...not for sale, not for sale anymore, it's alright, enough, I'll just accept these dozen, and don't want the rest." Fang Jifan waved his hands hurriedly.

   All the ministers suddenly felt that Fang Jifan had become cute. It seemed that his conscience still knew the pain. Sure enough, in this world, no matter how scumbag a person is, there will be a good side.

That Liang Chu was still holding the silver bill in his hand: "Mr. Qi, don't be polite to us. We are all old and not young. If we don't sit, how can we bear it? You just accept this money. Take some chairs for the ceremony. Money, this is very reasonable."

   "Yes, yes, very reasonable."

  Everyone nodded and looked at Fang Jifan sincerely.

  Fang Jifan coughed: "This... this... I actually want to say that the price of the seat... has increased..."

   "..."

   Silence.

  Everyone looked at Fang Jifan and suddenly felt like an idiot.

  Fang Jifan looked at them, and really felt that they were a bunch of idiots. This seat was in short supply, and everyone was rushing to buy it. According to the principles of market economy, shouldn’t the price be raised?

  …

  Chapter 5 delivered, ask for a monthly pass.
