Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1223 Tian Khan

  Fang Jifan was unwilling to argue with Zhu Houzhao.

  Fang Jifan blinked: "Your Highness is knowledgeable and versatile, which is really admirable. However, although Your Highness understands many languages, you must know that there are so many languages ​​in the world. Can Your Highness understand it alone?"

  Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao was very unhappy.

He sneered: "Just learn it. No matter how much, I can learn it. There is a trick to learning a language. Every language has its grammar. First understand its method, and then recite its common words and sentences. Find a few natives and let him be by your side all the time. You can talk to him every day. In less than three to five months, you will be able to communicate normally. What, do you want to learn? Come, call Master, I will teach you you."

  Fang Jifan shook his head: "I don't learn this."

   This made Zhu Houzhao quite melancholy.

  Fang Jifan is lazy whenever he can, and he is not ashamed of being superficial.

  Fang Jifan continued: "However, His Highness's learning method must be good. I was wondering, should our Xishan College set up a foreign language academy?"

   "Yeah." Zhu Houzhao immediately geared up: "Yes, this is a good thing, Lao Fang, you are too smart, why didn't I think of it."

  Fang Jifan put his hands behind his back and accepted his compliment; "It's just a pity, who will be the dean of this foreign language school? It's really troublesome. There are so many talented people in this world. It's really confusing."

  Zhu Houzhao opened his eyes wide, and blinked at Fang Jifan eagerly, as if saying, Me, me.

  Fang Jifan said: "In my family, there is a servant, he is very smart, why not let him come, he knows four or five languages."

  Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath: "I know four or five kinds, but I don't believe it."

  Fang Jifan pinched his fingers and counted for him: "He is from Shandong, he can speak Shandong dialect, official dialect, and..."

  Zhu Houzhao was getting impatient: "Stop rambling, I feel that I am very suitable. I must be the dean of the foreign language academy. Old Fang, I am going to lose my face."

  Fang Jifan likes to hang Zhu Houzhao's appetite: "Your Highness, what is your identity, no, no."

  He shook his head desperately.

  Zhu Houzhao was in a hurry, and made a gesture to pinch Fang Jifan's neck.

  Fang Jifan had no choice but to say: "It's okay to be the dean, just pay the money."

  Zhu Houzhao: "..."

Fang Jifan said: "After thinking about it, I have already thought about the source of students. The tuition fees are also taken care of for them. Even after they graduate, they will be awarded the military rank of the Strategic Security Bureau. The only thing is... there is still a lack of scholarships. No, Your Highness will pay."

  Zhu Houzhao began to whine and hum, probably because there is no reason why you have to pay for your own money when you work for Fang Jifan.

   This time, he chirped and hummed in Sanskrit, which, to put it bluntly, is Tianzhu.

  Fang Jifan couldn't understand anyway, his ears were very clean, and he loved everything.

  Zhu Houzhao coughed, and laughed: "Old Fang, I have agreed, and the matter of silver is easy to talk about."

  He is a never-ending machine, but he is always looking for anything that will make him stand out.

  For the matter of the foreign language academy, it is still necessary to report to Emperor Hongzhi.

  Fang Jifan was not idle, and immediately wrote a charter and went to Fengtian Hall.

  Emperor Hongzhi wears sunglasses, looking unpredictable.

  The first seven or eight cabinet bachelors and ministers also wore sunglasses, and no one knew what was hidden in the eyes behind the sunglasses.

  Fang Jifan almost staggered when he entered.

  Damn it...

  Sunglasses are already so popular?

  Nine out of ten people in this world are followers.

  The emperor put on sunglasses, and Wang Bushi also wore them. When everyone saw it, it was rare, as if it had become a symbol of distinguishing ordinary people.

   Many people also want to buy a pair to see.

   It’s okay if you don’t buy it, but when you buy it, those merchants immediately feel that it’s cool, this thing is very expensive, the lowest grade is only a few dozen taels of silver, ordinary people can’t afford it. When I go out, wearing such conspicuous sunglasses, the words "I have money" are written on my face.

  Officials wear them very well. People who are ups and downs in the officialdom are most afraid of being seen through their details, but the eyes are the windows to the soul. Wearing sunglasses, you suddenly have a dignified appearance, and others can't see you clearly.

  Of course, the important thing is to be good at the top and effective at the bottom. Your Majesty wears them all.

  At this time, people don't think that the other party wears glasses, which is disrespectful to the other party. Anyway, if you wear glasses, I will wear them too. Come on, hurt each other.

  Fang Jifan hurriedly took out his hands from his sleeves, took out his special toad mirror, and put it on the bridge of his nose. Only then did he feel relieved that he had integrated into the group.

  Fang Jifan saluted: "I have seen Your Majesty, I have come here for the sake of the Bureau of Strategic Security, here is a new charter, please have a look at your Majesty."

  Emperor Hongzhi said in his heart, I think about it carefully, you Fang Jifan is so bold, what I wear are small round sunglasses, why are your Fang Jifan's lenses so big, is this a violation of etiquette?

  Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "Take me and have a look."

  After carefully reading the regulations, Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Foreign Language Academy...I agree. It's just...the crown prince...also understands foreign languages?"

Fang Jifan danced and said: "Not only does he understand, he is proficient in everything. He has learned many things, can answer questions with foreign monks, and can communicate with Tatars, as well as Koreans, Japanese...even Tianzhu people. .”

  Emperor Hongzhi was speechless, his son is really...

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "If he likes it, let him go, I can't control him anymore."

   sighed.

  Beating Zhu Houzhao a few days ago, Zhu Houzhao immediately went to the Empress Dowager and Queen Zhang to complain. Now the backyard is on fire, and Emperor Hongzhi is very upset.

  Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes, and then said: "A few days ago, Kazan, Astrakhan, Siberia, and the Crimean Khanates came with their troops. Not only that, but also Haixi, Jianzhou, and Savage Jurchen All the ministries, all of which are in Datong, request to be attached, you came just in time, I want to hear what you think."

When Fang Jifan heard the names of Kazan, Astrakhan, Crimea, and Siberia, these scattered so-called khanates were originally the Kipchak Khanate, one of the so-called four major khanates of the Mongols. The Western Expedition, occupying the extreme north and Eastern Europe, was also powerful for a while.

   It's just... until now, it has declined, and the Principality of Moscow has risen. Over the past few decades, they have repeatedly fought against the Principality of Moscow, but they have been defeated repeatedly and even expelled from the Ural Mountains.

  Under the strong pressure of the Principality of Moscow, these Kipchak Mongolian tribes, which have been split into several, are in decline. They know that they are invincible. In all likelihood, they want to find foreign aid.

As for the tribes of Haixi, Savage, and Jianzhou Jurchen, it can be said that they sometimes submit and sometimes rebel. In Chenghua years, after a period of blows and the blows of North Korea, recently, they have obeyed a lot. .

  Now these people actually formed a partnership and came to meet the emperor, together with the Tatar Ministry, the Duoyan Ministry, and all the forces outside the pass, I think they all ran to Datong.

  Fang Jifan looked down at the memorials sent by the eunuchs. These memorials were played jointly. Fang Jifan squinted his eyes, but he saw clearly the word "Heaven Khan" in the memorials!

   All of a sudden, Fang Jifan understood that His Majesty suddenly had such a strong interest in these little fish and shrimp.

  People say that these desert people are stupid, but when you think about it carefully, none of them are stupid.

  Now, the fortune of the Ming Dynasty is prosperous, the desert and the Liaodong tribes all rely on the breath of the Ming Dynasty.

   Nine times out of ten, these people got together secretly, and when they were combined, they wanted to emulate the old things of Tang Shi.

  At the beginning, Tang Taizong defeated Goguryeo, swept Mobei, attacked and killed Turkic, Tubo and other countries in the Western Regions were all frightened by the news, so they jointly signed a request to enclose, and honored Tang Taizong as Tian Khan.

   This is almost the peak moment of the Central Plains Dynasty in history.

   And with the three characters of Tian Khan, the name of Tang Taizong naturally left his name in history, and the descendants of later generations all admire him.

  Fang Jifan read slowly: "The ministers are the subjects of Ming Dynasty, coming to Tianzhizun's place is like meeting parents, please the Tianzhizun not to abandon, and allow us to be the subjects of Daming from generation to generation."

  The Supreme Being here is Tian Khan.

  Fang Jifan finished reading, and then said: "Your Majesty's achievements have already caught up with Tang Taizong, and you can stand shoulder to shoulder with him. My son is really happy for Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi also seemed to be proud of this, he sighed and said: "I know that when the Central Plains is strong, they will be submissive and submissive, but once the Central Plains is weak, the so-called "Tian Khan" is just a mirror image. That's it, I got this replay, which is a lesson for the people of the Tang Dynasty. Instead, I'm walking on thin ice and worried. I have always entrusted the management of this desert to the Qing family, and now I have been recommended by various ministries. You, Fang Jifan, have made a great contribution to me! "

  Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "I don't dare to be a minister, I just have the honor of His Majesty."

  Emperor Hongzhi was overjoyed, so the benefits of sunglasses came. When encountering such a thing, he had to be humble, and he must not look overjoyed, otherwise, others would say that he valued his reputation too much.

  Sunglasses hide the joy of Emperor Hongzhi.

  I only saw a picture of not getting angry and majestic.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Now all the ministries are gathered in Datong, hoping to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty. Fang Qing's family will arrange this matter."

  Fang Jifan asked in surprise, "Your Majesty is going to Datong?"

  Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "Could it be that they were summoned to the capital? At the beginning, Tang Taizong was in the desert to form an alliance with them. Only in this way can it be shown that our Ming Dynasty occupies the four seas, and the whole world is a king's land.

  Fang Jifan had no choice but to say: "My son...do your best to arrange it."

  Emperor Hongzhi was overjoyed, and said happily, "With Ji Fan here, I feel very relieved. This time, the prince should not stay in the capital, and go with me."
