Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1286 Changing sky

  Zhao Yi slammed a railway.

  Da Yi's awe-inspiring appearance.

  Then, he couldn't help but said: "What about the Baoding chief envoy? It's just absurd, nonsense!"

Zhao Yi continued: "Those tricks, don't they rely on the technique of driving profit? If a saint knows that the Confucian scholars of later generations, under the banner of a saint, have tinkered with new learning and read books restlessly, but they only pursue this profit. , then, isn’t this world in chaos?”

   "Our Majesty is good. If it is bad, there are treacherous ministers in the court. Those new students are all hideous. Forget it, let's not talk about it."

  Seeing Emperor Hongzhi's face trembling, he immediately laughed: "Don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs, let's not talk about these. But..."

He said not to talk about state affairs, but he still couldn't help it: "Actually, when you think about it carefully, it's really worrying. Mr. Zhu, think about it. In the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely inherit the rule. Wait One day, if he becomes the Son of Heaven, then... I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince has an extreme temper, and by that time, there will be no benevolence, justice, morality, propriety, justice or shame in the world."

  Emperor Hongzhi was shocked when he heard this.

  He looked at Zhao Yi's soft-spoken words, and suddenly, deep in his heart, he felt a trace of fear.

  Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "Really? So, there must be many people who are very scared."

   "This is a matter of the court. It has nothing to do with ordinary scholars like us. It's just... some people can't help worrying."

  Emperor Hongzhi only nodded. He stood up and walked away.

  Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but said: "Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu..."

   It's just that Emperor Hongzhi left in a hurry, without any courtesy.

  Fang Jifan and Xiao Jing hurriedly chased them out.

  Out of this Zhao family.

  Emperor Hongzhi boarded the car directly.

  Fang Jifan also got into the car and stared at Emperor Hongzhi.

  Emperor Hongzhi squinted his eyes, said nothing, and his face was terrifying.

  Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty..."

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said, "People's hearts are really unpredictable."

  He glanced at Fang Jifan.

   "This Mao Ji, at least I ordered him to go to the East Palace to teach the crown prince. Speaking of it, he can be regarded as the crown prince's mentor, but I never expected..."

  Fang Jifan said: "I don't know what your Majesty's plan is."

  Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes: "If the Qing family, what would you do?"

  Fang Jifan stared at Emperor Hongzhi.

  Just now when he heard Zhao Yi say, "If the crown prince becomes the emperor, there will be no benevolence, morality, propriety, justice and shame in the world", Fang Jifan's heart skipped a beat.

   "Your Majesty, people's minds have changed."

"Ok?"

  Fang Jifan said: "Some people hope to change in the direction of Baoding, while some people..."

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Yes, some people want to turn back, but why are these people so stubborn."

  Fang Jifan was thinking about it, but he couldn't figure it out.

  Yes, why are these people so stubborn?

Emperor Hongzhi sneered: "Today, I have seen this person's heart. That's good, I should have seen it. Let's go back. I can't stay outside for too long. If I stay for a long time, I'm afraid it will cause trouble to Xiao Qiang. "

   Misfortune caused Xiao Qiang to say the four words, Fang Jifan knew in his heart that something big was going to happen.

  Emperor Hongzhi was generous, but...he had a bottom line.

   Honest people are in a hurry, once they get angry, it will be terrible.

  The storm is coming.

   And this... Isn't this exactly what Fang Jifan was looking forward to?

  At the beginning in Beijing, he went around building momentum for this Mao Jida...but now...

  The carriage slowly returned to the county seat. At this time, it was already daylight, and all the officials had already come to pay their respects.

   It's just that there is no movement in the middle, and many people are whispering.

  Emperor Hongzhi entered the line through the side door, changed his clothes, and had breakfast in a calm manner. Then, he received Xie Qian who was accompanying him.

   "I have seen His Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and he suddenly said: "Xie Qing's family, you came just in time. I heard that the crown prince has lost his morals. Some people hope to find another crown prince to inherit the great rule. Only in this way can the hearts of the soldiers and people in the world be reassured. , what do you think of it?"

   Cut to the chase.

  Xie Qian shuddered after hearing this.

His Majesty only has one son, how could he find another prince, he felt uneasy, and immediately bowed down: "Your Majesty, this...veteran minister has never heard of these rumors, His Majesty the Crown Prince is inherently unstable, but his intelligence is something that is known in the world. Rarely, His Highness the Crown Prince will surely become a wise king the next day. How could His Majesty have such an idea? Your Majesty... The old minister has served His Majesty for twenty years. His Royal Highness, the old minister has watched him grow up. "

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and waved his hands: "Okay, you don't need to say any more. I know you were frightened when you heard what I said. Yes, when I said these words, I also frightened myself." One jump."

   As he spoke, he looked at Fang Jifan: "What does Jifan think?"

  Fang Jifan thought about it for a while: "Your Majesty, if the crown prince fails to inherit the great rule, the minister will die without a place to bury him."

  This is the truth.

  Fang Jifan is an honest man.

  Fang Jifan and the crown prince are tied too tightly. If the crown prince is not the one who will rule the world in the future, Fang Jifan has a thousand heads, which is not enough to chop off.

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Not bad."

  He bowed his head and took a sip of tea: "You are the people I trust the most. I can trust you, but people's hearts are unpredictable. Among the people who came with me this time, can I trust others?"

Xie Qian's face suddenly fell, he seemed to have noticed something strange, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, among the ministers accompanying you this time, Wang Xingyuan, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, Zheng Jie, a member of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Tao, the censor, Zhu Jinren of the Imperial Academy, etc. , can be trusted."

  Fang Jifan said: "The disciples and grandchildren of the sons and ministers can also be trusted."

  Emperor Hongzhi raised his head: "So, what about the guards?"

  He tapped the copywriting lightly with his hands, looking thoughtful.

  Xiao Jing on the side felt cold all over, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the factory guard is here...you can call at any time."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded again, he looked very calm, but deep in his eyes, there was a bit of loneliness, he said calmly: "The commander of the Jinwu Guard is Chen Long, Marquis of Chenzhou, and Chen Long has always been my guard. I can trust it very much. But...Xiaoqi Battalion..."

  His eyes opened and closed, and when he talked about the Xiaoqi Camp, he seemed uncertain: "If the British Duke Zhang Mao is here, that would be fine. I can leave all these to him to take care of."

   "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened?" Xie Qian was so frightened that his face turned pale.

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "It's nothing serious, it's just a precaution."

  Xie Qian looked at Emperor Hongzhi suspiciously.

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly said: "Xiao Jing, you have to go back to the capital and pass on a secret decree to Liu Qing's family, telling him to calm down in the near future. Good grandson."

  Xiao Jingdao: "The servant obeys the order."

   "Also..." Emperor Hongzhi thought of something: "Send someone again to give the prince a secret decree, telling his Changping Guard to come to this county as soon as possible. I haven't seen him for many days."

  Xiao Jing didn't ask any more questions, and continued to nod: "Your maid obeys the order."

  Emperor Hongzhi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. But sighed: "Actually, sometimes, the pen is also a knife. The knife can kill, and the pen can kill the heart, but sometimes, the knife can kill the person who holds the pen."

   "It's just..." He raised his eyes, revealing a look of sadness: "It's just that, it's really my failure to come to this point."

  Fang Jifan actually understood these words.

   Unless it is a last resort, no ruler will easily draw his sword, because killing is only a means, and to a certain extent, it is only a last resort.

   Once ready to use violence, it can only show that all the means of the emperor are useless, which in itself is a sign of failure.

  Emperor Hongzhi stood up: "Mr. Mao Ji, I don't know if he is here, oh, and my officials, how about them, are they all outside?"

   Xie Qian seemed to feel cold all over.

  He said with difficulty, "Your Majesty, Mao Ji has heard that he will arrive at noon, and all the officials are kneeling outside."

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Go, first call Ma Wensheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, who is accompanying you."

  A moment later, Ma Wensheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, came to see him, and he bowed down: "I have seen Your Majesty."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at him with a smile: "Ma Qing's family, I had a dream yesterday."

   "Yeah." Ma Wensheng revealed a look of surprise: "Your Majesty doesn't know what you dreamed of. The old minister has some experience in dream interpretation. Maybe he can explain it to Your Majesty."

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled, he knew that Ma Wensheng had this hobby.

   After a pause, Emperor Hongzhi said: "Last night, I dreamed that the crown prince was killed by an assassin."

   "Ah..." Ma Wensheng's expression turned pale.

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Tell me, isn't this strange? The prince is so good, why would anyone want to kill him? It can be seen that the things in this dream are really inaccurate."

   "Your Majesty..." Ma Wensheng calmed down slowly: "This is a happy event...Dreams...dreams are reversed. If His Royal Highness is assassinated in the dream, then his good luck will come."

   "Good luck, what good luck?" Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile.

  Wensheng Ma: "..."

  Fang Jifan stood aside and said, "Could it be that the prince is going to be the emperor?"

   "Yes, yes... This dream is the other way around... No, no." Ma Wensheng said in his heart, and gave Fang Jifan a speechless look.

  Fang Jifan, you bastard, are you going to kill this old man?

  The prince became the emperor, so the emperor died?

   Ma Wensheng immediately said: "It's absolutely not, it's not. Your Majesty is very aware of the details. This is what Fang Jifan said, and the minister didn't say that."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked sideways, and glared at Fang Jifan: "Nonsense."

  Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, my son will die forever. He himself said that the dream came in the opposite direction, my son...just because of habit."
