Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1277 Resourceful Fang Jifan

  Fang Jifan is serious.

  Because weapons need a process from research and development to finalization, to assembly and practice.

  Therefore, it would be best for the Crown Prince to go and toss about this matter.

  Just... go to Changping by yourself?

Fang Jifan shook his head and said meaningfully: "His Royal Highness, in terms of the art of war, there is a saying called the force of the corner. The two of us are brothers and sisters. If we both go to Changping, it will be difficult to echo each other from afar. The heart to punish Mao Ji cannot be achieved by relying on Changping."

  Zhu Houzhao scratched his head: "You're not doing it to be lazy, are you?"

   "Don't worry, His Royal Highness will do as I say, and I'm sure...success."

  Zhu Houzhao trusted the other party, Jifan, so he laughed out loud, "I'll go see my father tomorrow."

  The crown prince is going to Changping. This time, Emperor Hongzhi agreed very simply.

   Soon, Emperor Hongzhi called Fang Jifan into the palace to have an audience.

   However, this time it is not in the Fengtian Temple, but in the Dacheng Building in the third phase of Daming Palace.

  The Dacheng Building is an auxiliary hall, which is particularly eye-catching. Emperor Hongzhi ascended the building and could look into the distance.

  Xiao Jing is now standing beside Emperor Hongzhi.

  He hunched over with a smug look on his face.

  Seeing Fang Jifan, I can't wait to take out the electric horn and announce that I, Xiao Jing, am back again!

  Emperor Hongzhi turned his head and said with a smile, "You are here."

   "Your Majesty." Fang Jifan nodded towards Emperor Hongzhi, and was about to say something.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Is it your idea for the crown prince to go to Changping?"

  Fang Jifan nodded: "Yes."

  He is an honest man, he never lies, his own idea is his own idea, he is aboveboard, and he is a teacher by example.

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "So, the banner you are playing is to train the new army?"

Fang Jifan nodded again: "Your Majesty is aware of the details, and it is precisely to test new firearms. The Xingfu Group is mainly cavalry, and their firearms are different from ours! Xingfu Group, after all, is only an external force, but it is the foundation of Daming. In terms of self-improvement, my Ming Dynasty mainly focuses on infantry, so I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can train a real firearms battalion for my Ming Dynasty."

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "I see, your purpose is not limited to that."

  Fang Jifan looked up at the sky, it was so blue.

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Is it because of Mao Ji?"

  Fang Jifan coughed: "Did the prince tell His Majesty?"

  Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back: "Do you really think I am deaf or blind?"

  Fang Jifan immediately said: "My son..."

"You don't need to say it." Emperor Hongzhi said: "I know, you are hard to say. However, it doesn't matter. Mao Ji, I know, has a bad temper and speaks out loud, but he is not good at it." The young one is an official and a famous official, but it is a pity that he did not agree with the New Deal, so he resigned from office, but he gave lectures in Dayangshan, Changping. I can tolerate new learning, so, likewise, I can tolerate Mao Ji's learning."

"Of course I know that Mao Ji said a lot of bad things about me and the prince. The prince must hate Mao Ji very much. I...how could I like such a person. But..." Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a smile: " But I will not add crimes to Mao Ji, this is because Mao Ji's so-called knowledge can be popular, not because of what Mao Ji said, but... because of the hearts of the people in the world, some people hope to use Mao Ji's mouth to criticize the court, Therefore, they agitated for him everywhere, worshiped him one after another, lifted him up high, and wished to move him into the Confucian Temple. If I blame him, there will be a second and a third one. Mao Ji, each of us, is the crime over?"

  Fang Jifan admired Emperor Hongzhi very much in his heart. He may not be a person who is ahead of the times, but he is definitely a mature emperor.

"People's hearts can't be killed." Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "But... I was thinking, you must have a way to deal with Mao Ji and the people behind Mao Ji if you encourage the prince to go to Changping like this. ?”

  Fang Jifan laughed sarcastically: "Where, where, my son is very ashamed."

  Emperor Hongzhi felt cold and shook his body.

   Seeing this, Xiao Jing hurriedly took a scarlet velvet cape and put it on Emperor Hongzhi, saying: "Your Majesty, it's windy and cold here, why not..."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and took a deep look at Fang Jifan. The fish marks in the corners of his eyes became more and more deep. It has been nearly thirty years, and in the past thirty years, it has been considered peaceful. I don’t care how the outsiders treat me, whether it is praise or slander, and I will let future generations judge.”

"But..." Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were slightly red, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist because of the strong wind. He said with emotion: "I know that the path I'm taking now is the right one, and I will go on firmly. In the future , the prince will also inherit my mantle, and will go on. I can ignore the rumors, but what about the prince? One day in the future, I will die, and I will go to see my ancestors, but the prince will continue to succeed , but also to govern the world, it is precisely because of this that I am worried that the rumors and gossips of people like Mao Ji will hurt the prince, he...must be a saint. What will he use to convince the world?"

Emperor Hongzhi stroked his long beard that was blown by the cold wind, and then his eyes fell on Fang Jifan: "Yes, I heard that you encouraged the prince to go to Changping, and I immediately agreed. Oh, my life There is no way to deal with people like Mao Ji, but I know that you may have a way. So, I see you."

  Fang Jifan said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, you can't say this. Mao Ji is so cunning and loyal. How could he be his opponent? Your Majesty thinks highly of him."

  Emperor Hongzhi laughed loudly: "Haha, what I'm taking is you who lie and still show your true feelings."

  Fang Jifan: "..."

  Fang Jifan was angry.

   Someone must have said something bad about him.

   Otherwise, how could His Majesty treat himself like this.

  Fang Jifan subconsciously gave Xiao Jing a look.

  Xiao Jingben laughed when he heard what His Majesty said, and when he saw Fang Jifan's malicious eyes, he became a little anxious, and hurriedly shook his head silently at Fang Jifan, meaning that it had nothing to do with us, our family was wronged.

  Emperor Hongzhi patted Fang Jifan on the shoulder: "Prince, you must be famous. You and the prince are brothers and sisters. I know that you will do everything possible to solve this problem for the prince. As for me, we will wait and see."

  Fang Jifan bit the bullet and said: "Yes."

  Emperor Hongzhi stretched out: "Let's go, it's windy and cold here, help me, go downstairs, and walk with me. Oh, there is one more thing, just now, Xie Qing's family came to complain."

  Fang Jifan supported Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, what are you suing?"

"It was said that Xiaofan was in the cabinet, insisting on improving all the reports, and came up with a... what kind of form. Liu Qing's family said that the cabinet has always been like this, but she still talked back. In the end, she even said that the prince yesterday Taught him what to say."

   "Oh." Fang Jifan said with a face of shame: "Sister She is really unreasonable. After returning, I will definitely criticize him. However, Your Majesty must not blame His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness..."

   "The prince went to Changping the day before yesterday." Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a smile.

  Fang Jifan: "..."

  Damn it...

  This prodigal girl.

   Have a little brain, okay?

  No one is here, so what are you doing with the X bowl.

The smile on Fang Jifan's face was stiff: "The crown prince really hates it. Since there is a letter, he didn't send it to his son, but to his younger sister. It seems that His Highness still cares about her younger sister. It's really difficult for him. "

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled, and said nothing more, Fang Jifan shook his head, whether you believe it or not, anyway, I believe it myself.

   Accompanied Emperor Hongzhi to go around the third phase of the Daming Palace.

  Emperor Hongzhi was obviously very satisfied with this project.

This is all invested in by a large sum of money. With the continuous expansion of the new city, the civil engineering skills have become more and more advanced, and the materials used have become more and more "bold". majestic.

  In the evening, Fang Jifan left the palace.

  He intentionally waited outside the Meridian Gate, and sure enough, he saw Fang Xiaofan, a subordinate on duty, happily coming from the direction of the cabinet.

  Seeing Fang Jifan, the little girl ran towards Fang Jifan, and then threw herself into Fang Jifan's arms: "Brother, do you know that I decided to be in the cabinet..."

   "I know." Fang Jifan smiled bitterly: "A form? What kind of form is it?"

   "You don't understand even if you tell me." Fang Xiaofan said.

  Fang Jifan gritted his teeth, I don't understand, I am a human being in two lives.

   "Mr. Xie went to sue, did you know?" Fang Jifan took a deep breath.

   "I know, I told him, this is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince taught me."

  Fang Jifan said: "But the prince, he went to Changping a few days ago."

Fang Xiaofan raised her head and looked at the sky, there were snowflakes flying in the sky, she stomped on her buckskin boots, exhaled white air, her pretty face was flushed, she covered her mouth with both hands, and said: "Then tomorrow Let me explain, and say that His Highness the Crown Prince has come in a dream."

Fang Jifan blinked: "Sister, we are new learners. We don't believe in ghosts and gods. We believe in science. We must never mention this thing about dreaming. Let me teach you, if something happens again, His Royal Highness will If you're not here, you just insist that it was the emperor's grandson who taught you."

   "Yeah, that's not going to work, he's my friend."

  Fang Jifan gritted his teeth: "He is your nephew, your own nephew, what are you embarrassed about, one family, don't speak two different languages, understand?"

"Oh."

  Fang Jifan was happy just now, and held Fang Xiaofan's hand: "Are you hungry?"

"hungry."
