Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1224 Hong Fu Qi Tian

  Emperor Hongzhi finished speaking, but took a sip of his tea: "However...it's still early, and the leaders of the various ministries don't know the rules yet. I will order the Ministry of Rites to send the etiquette officials first to let them learn."

  Emperor Hongzhi said, as if he had finished a major event, he relaxed.

   I have to say that the flattery of the desert tribes is considered to be in the right place.

   "After I return to Beijing, it's time to pay homage to my ancestors. Finally, I haven't humiliated them. But... the British Duke has been feeling unwell recently, hey..."

   As he spoke, Emperor Hongzhi sighed.

  Liu Jian knelt aside, thinking about it: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... This time I went to Datong, and the veteran thought that I still had to be on guard. If someone harbors evil intentions for those barbarians, I'm afraid they will never recover."

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "They don't dare to have any evil intentions at this time. I made an alliance with them with blood and swore with arrows, and it was too late for them to be grateful."

  Fang Jifan had a thought.

  He knows it well.

   This time, since being honored as Heavenly Khan, it was an extremely glorious moment for Emperor Hongzhi.

  Then...According to the rules, the oath ceremony adopted by the Ming Dynasty must learn from the experience of the Tang Dynasty at that time.

  Your Majesty may have to face the leaders of the various ministries alone. At least, the imperial guards must be tens of feet away. If there is any problem, it will be terrible.

  However... if Da Tianzi doesn't get close to the leaders of the various ministries, then... he will inevitably be ridiculed.

  Fang Jifan frowned. He was a little worried. He had always been on guard against foreigners.

   It’s not that Fang Jifan has a bad heart, it’s just that... sometimes Fang Jifan is even afraid of himself, so how dare he trust that alien who is thousands of miles away?

  But, how to arrange this big gift.

   If something goes wrong, I will be finished. If I want to sell a house, I will be able to pay for my death.

  Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the etiquette after going to Datong, right? I hope the Ministry of Rites will write a charter for the whole process of the ceremony and send it to my minister."

  In the hall, Zhang Sheng said: "There is no problem. The Ministry of Rites is still checking ancient books. I think there will be a draft regulation within three to five days."

  The officials in the palace were obviously also excited about it.

  Your Majesty is the Khan of Heaven, so I, His Majesty's ministers of humerus, will also be famous in history in the future, becoming 'Wei Zheng' and 'Changsun Wuji'.

  Of course, they also have doubts.

   Now His Majesty has entrusted this matter to Fang Jifan, so everyone should cooperate as much as possible.

  Fang Jifan felt better.

   After a few days, the Ministry of Rites sent the regulations.

  Fang Jifan did not dare to neglect, hid at home, put the regulations in front of himself, and studied them carefully.

  He specially invited people to rehearse every process, and Wang Shouren and others were all arrested.

  They took the trouble to replace every role, including how to salute, where the emperor stood, where the guards should stand, and where the heads of the ministries were.

   These are all etiquettes passed down from the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Hongzhi arranged this etiquette, obviously, to prove that the achievements of the Ming Dynasty have directly caught up with the Han and Tang Dynasties.

  Any emperor has a side of great success. Needless to say, this old man, of course, is not exempt. Regardless of his calmness in everything, Fang Jifan still doesn’t know what he is thinking?

   After several rehearsals, Fang Jifan couldn't help frowning.

  Because of several etiquettes, the leaders of these tribes were too close to His Majesty.

  Wang Shouren saw what was on Fang Jifan's mind: "Men, could it be that someone is afraid that someone will harm His Majesty?"

  Fang Jifan obediently said: "Your Majesty entrusts this errand to the teacher, and the teacher has to bear this responsibility. This is not a joke. If there is no accident, everything will be peaceful. If there is an accident, it will be over."

Wang Shouren lowered his head, looked at the regulations and said: "After several rehearsals, Your Majesty has three times, and they may be in danger. These tribal leaders, of course, cannot carry weapons, but Your Majesty is old after all, and even if someone is unarmed, they may be in danger. His Majesty is in a desperate situation."

"Yeah." Fang Jifan behaved in front of Wang Shouren, at least he wouldn't reveal his Three Character Classic at any time. Wang Shengren, you have to show some face, otherwise what if you get beaten up, this guy can do everything Come out.

  Fang Jifan paused for a moment, and said: "I have to talk to the Ministry of Rites, these places need to be changed, so that these **** are farther away from His Majesty."

Wang Shouren thought for a while, then shook his head: "Even if the Ministry of Rites is willing to change, I'm afraid Your Majesty may not be willing. Master, His Majesty attaches great importance to this matter. He wants to show the majesty of my Ming Dynasty, and also show that my Ming Dynasty has the same mind as it did in the prosperous Tang Dynasty." , with gentle means, if the leaders of these tribes are separated, His Majesty is afraid that he will not like it."

Fang Jifan couldn't help saying: "Hey, what you said makes sense. If Your Majesty really cares about people far away, what's the use of relying on etiquette? If he has the ability, he will take out 1.8 million taels of silver from his internal funds and give it to all the ministries." .”

  Wang Shouren: "..."

  Changes cannot be changed, how do you want to predict danger?

  The more Fang Jifan thought about it, the more headache he felt.

   At this time, the Foreign Language Academy was established.

  More than one hundred and ninety teenagers have all entered the academy.

They were the first group of people to learn the language. Zhu Houzhao was the dean himself, and Fang Jifan obediently went to watch the ceremony. It was lively and lively until noon. Zhu Houzhao's excitement had not passed away. Seeing Fang Jifan's distraught appearance, he said: "Why, Are you not happy to see Bengong as the dean?"

  Fang Jifan said: "Your Highness, you have wronged me too much. What I am worried about now is His Majesty's alliance."

   As he spoke, he expressed his worries.

As soon as this was mentioned, Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up. He had always hoped that he would become a heavenly Khan and shine forever, but who knew that this prize would be taken away by his father. He couldn't help saying: "This is easy to handle, then Just let me take the oaths of my father and other ministries on behalf of the emperor, I will be the Heavenly Khan. If anyone dares to plot evil, before he gets close, I will punch him and break his bones."

  Fang Jifan: "..."

   Sure enough, how did His Highness the Crown Prince die?

  Your Majesty cannot shoot you to death.

  Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and these matters should belong to His Majesty."

  Zhu Houzhao kicked his boots with his hands behind his back, looking listless: "If that's the case, then there's nothing I can do."

  While speaking, Wang Jinyuan came in a hurry: "His Royal Highness, Duke of Qi...a Tatar is asking to see you."

   Tatars…

  Ordinary Tatars are not allowed to enter the customs, and must have evidence.

  Fang Jifan said: "Call in."

   As he spoke, Fang Jifan took out a toad mirror from his sleeve and placed it on his eyes. Facing the Tatars, it was better for him to remain a little mysterious.

  Zhu Houzhao was very excited when he saw Fang Jifan's toad mirror, and shook his hand in front of Fang Jifan: "Ah, I want one too."

Fang Jifan took out another small round mirror, Zhu Houzhao was wearing it, and couldn't help but said: "I've been busy with the academy and the steam research institute these days, I didn't expect that you, boy, have tinkered with such interesting things .”

  Fang Jifan ignored him.

   After a while, the Tatars came in, but they were dressed as merchants, no different from ordinary Han people.

  The Tatar man bowed down, barely speaking in Chinese, "I wish you Renjie, a leather goods merchant from the Tatar Ministry, I have met the Duke of Qi."

  Now all Tatars like to call themselves surname Zhu.

  Fang Jifan said: "What's the matter with you?"

   "Little man, I came to warn. This time, various ministries gathered outside Datong City. There are many tribes involved. I heard that some of these ministries want to plot evil."

  Fang Jifan cheered up: "Really? Is there any definite news?"

   "Not at all... It's just outside the customs. It's just anecdotal. After thinking about it, the villain thought it was not good, so he deliberately found a way to enter the customs and came to report."

   I'm really afraid of something.

  The question is, now that there are so many tribes involved, who is it that wants to plot evil?

  Fang Jifan immediately sneered: "Heh... You, a Tatar, came here to tell me these things over and over again. I think you are harboring evil intentions. Come on, take this bastard..."

This Zhu Renjie was frightened, and hurriedly said: "The little man really felt that something was wrong, and he came here to report, and he had absolutely no other thoughts." Then, he said excitedly: "The little man used to be a shepherd in the tribe. Thanks to Duke Qi's great blessing, he started a business. He was in the business of leather goods. His life was getting better and better every day. The people of the villain's clan were also thriving. The old days were too bitter... The villain was afraid, If something happens to the Emperor Ming after he leaves the customs, the good life of our Tatars will come to an end, and then there will be endless battles."

   Speaking of this, he had tears in his eyes, kowtowed and said: "I also invite Qi Guogong to learn from you."

  Fang Jifan believed in his heart just now, he said: "Is there any other clues?"

"The villain makes fur goods, mainly going to various ministries to buy sheepskins and cowhide, and often stays in each ministries, and makes good friends with the shepherds. Therefore, the villain is more or less aware of any rumors among the ministries. A few. We, the small people of the Tatar tribe, have naturally received the favor of the Duke of Qi. Qi Guogong is devoted to it, but it is hard to guarantee that there will be some former leaders. All I can think about is that I want to restore the glory of my ancestors, although I am obedient on the surface, but deep down in my heart, I am unwilling to surrender, Duke Qi has to guard against it."

   There is some truth to what he said.

After the Tatars were attached, the vast majority of herdsmen did live a much better life than before. They didn't want to go back to the era of war, they didn't want to plunder, and they didn't want to suffer any more. Live life, but there will always be some, the old and expensive in the past, at the beginning, it can be said that they want wind and rain, but now they are controlled by Daming everywhere, and they are unwilling and dissatisfied.

  …

   Ask for a monthly pass.
