Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1294 My Emperor Shengming

   Sure enough, as everyone expected.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "The mission of the New Deal is very important. People must be familiar with the New Deal and understand the New Deal and the New Learning. You and others are my humerus and the pillars of the country. From my point of view, this is yours. Expertise. I usually see all the ministers who are concerned about the country and the people. Now in this poor and remote place, the people don’t know what the New Deal is, and their lives are difficult. If things go on like this, it’s not going to work. Jifan, you draw up a roster, and invite these ministers to come. Work hard, serve as a study tour officer, and go to Yunnan, Guizhou, Jiaozhi, Hexi, Liaodong and other places for study tours."

   "..."

   They retained their official positions in Beijing and went on a school tour as imperial envoys.

   This is a good idea.

On the one hand, these people are idle in the capital anyway, so let them go to Yungui, Jiaozhi, Hexi, and Liaodong. Many places there are cut off from traffic, and it is difficult to educate them. They are the backbone of the imperial court. Let them go ,It could not be better.

   As a result, there will be fewer people in Beijing. After all, they went there with advanced experience. If there is no success in missionary work, I am afraid that they will never return to Beijing for the rest of their lives. When the time comes, they will definitely work hard.

  Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Chen Feng appreciatively: "Chen Qing's family is loyal to the country, thinks what I think, thinks what I think, which makes me gratified. I have Chen Qing, like a tiger with wings added."

  Chen Feng: "..."

  His Majesty's compliment to him made him feel a little bit stunned.

  He felt that he might not survive tonight.

  At least, he could feel countless fierce eyes projected towards him, he shuddered, but said helplessly: "I am ashamed."

  But at this time, an **** hurried in from outside: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, just outside the county seat."

   At this point, everything is settled.

  Emperor Hongzhi Longyan Dayue.

  My son, I haven't seen him for many days.

  Emperor Hongzhi was overjoyed and said: "Jifan, Shen Qing's family."

  Fang Jifan and Shen Wen came out: "The minister is here."

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Go and welcome him in."

   "Follow the order."

Fang Jifan regretted that he could not personally send Mao Ji to the psychiatric department for treatment. Maybe this Mr. Mao Ji suffered from a relatively rare brain disease. Maybe, congratulations to Mao Ji, he was finally able to get his compensation I wish, I would like to mention a brain disease with my own name, and leave it in history.

   For example, Mao Ji's dementia?

   Hearing that the crown prince was coming, Fang Jifan felt refreshed.

  So, he left Changping County together with Shen Wen, the prince's father-in-law.

  Outside the county seat, Zhu Houzhao led a mighty army.

   More than a thousand Changping guards, all of them fighting with open flames, are neat and tidy, and they look a bit like.

  Zhu Houzhao rode his horse in front, saw Fang Jifan from a distance, was overjoyed, got off his horse and said, "Old Fang, hahaha... you really came to Changping, I know..."

  The two looked at each other, and there was a lot of information.

  Since Zhu Houzhao left for Changping, a conspiracy against Mao Ji has already begun.

  The arrival of the prince in Changping made people mistakenly think that on the surface it was military training, but in fact he had some intentions for the development of Changping, and then went to Xishan Academy to cooperate with the prince and make a gesture of exploring the terrain.

  After that, let these gentry of Changping enter the urn, and finally, collect the net and catch them all.

  Shen Wen sullenly coughed aside.

  Zhu Houzhao just noticed Shen Wen, and immediately cheered up: "Ah, I met Bachelor Shen, Bachelor Shen, hello."

  The two are not Weng-in-law in name, but they are actually Weng-in-law. Zhu Houzhao treats him with great respect.

  Shen Wen then saluted Zhu Houzhao: "His Royal Highness, I am a courteous official."

   "You're welcome." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, "It just so happens that I have something to ask for Shen Xueshi."

  He looked at Shen Wen with a smile.

   This gave Shen Wen a bad premonition.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Scholar Shen, it's like this. A few days ago, I led the soldiers to practice. You also know that the money and food given by the court are better than nothing. I can't let them work in vain, so... I'm down." Promise, I will give them some extra money every month, and the emperor will not send hungry soldiers, right? Scholar Shen must understand this truth, but I don’t have enough money in my palace... Or, Scholar Shen, you can lend me tens of thousands of taels of silver..."

  Shen Wen: "..."

  He was angry, but in front of Zhu Houzhao, he couldn't get angry again, and said patiently: "Your Highness, don't you have silver in your majesty's internal money? There is also Duke Qi, Duke Qi has silver."

  Zhu Houzhao stared at him, looking like a mentally retarded man, and couldn't help saying angrily: "What are you talking about, father is my real father, Fang Jifan is my real brother, how can I borrow money from them?"

  Shen Wen: "..."

  Zhu Houzhao said: "It's only tens of thousands of taels."

   "I have no money." Shen Wen gritted his teeth.

"Still said no." Zhu Houzhao was angry: "Fang Concubine made it clear that the Shen family is in the old house and has ten thousand acres of mulberry fields. Now the price of silk is so expensive. Last year, the silk sold was tens of thousands Two silver coins, that's more than that, and..."

   Shen Wen's complexion changed, and he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, okay, borrow, I will borrow."

   Coaxed Zhu Houzhao, Shen Wen felt like a burglar in his house, so he frowned and sighed.

  Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao hadn't seen each other for many days, and they were very close, laughing and laughing all the way to the end.

  Zhu Houzhao walked in and saluted Emperor Hongzhi.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao with a smile.

  He knew in his heart that the matter of Mao Ji must have been conspired by the crown prince and Fang Jifan.

  The prince really grew up.

  Already know how to deal with people like Mao Ji.

   It is no longer just relying on force alone, but using your brain.

  Emperor Hongzhi remained calm and smiled: "It's just right that you are here, and many people here are praising you."

   "Ah." Zhu Houzhao said happily: "Father, I don't know what they praise my son and minister."

   "Praise you and Jifan for starting a new deal, benefiting the country and the people, it is a good deed for my Ming Dynasty."

  Zhu Houzhao beamed with joy: "It's nothing, my son can knit sweaters, repair machines, and..."

  Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hand, this son is just not humble.

  If you are more humble and keep your mouth shut, it is actually quite good.

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "I ordered you to come here for military training, how about it?"

Zhu Houzhao said: "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life. The Changping Guards were all subdued by Erchen. Not only that, the batch of firearms that Lao Fang got is really interesting. Others will come to this matter. It must be impossible to do it well. Those who understand machinery can’t lead soldiers. Those who can lead soldiers don’t understand the structure and principle of this firearm, let alone how to improve it. Erchen happens to know everything. The firearms cooperated with the soldiers to conduct drills, found more than 30 problems, and had 17 suggestions for improvement. At the same time, based on the improved firecrackers, a new drill method was added to make the firearms play to their full potential. Wei Li, Changping Wei's morale is now like a rainbow, and it is no longer a group of sick people. This is not only due to the merits of the ministers, but also the cooperation of Lao Fang in logistics, and it is also inseparable from the sponsorship of Shen Xueshi .”

  Emperor Hongzhi can understand Zhu Houzhao's claim that he has made contributions; Emperor Hongzhi can understand Fang Jifan's contributions.

  This Shen Wen...what the **** does he do?

  He doesn't understand.

  Shen Wen's complexion changed, and he said subconsciously: "Your Highness, didn't you agree to borrow it, and didn't say sponsorship."

   "It's the same reason." Zhu Houzhao said: "I'm doing my best for you, don't be afraid."

  Shen Wenhuang was very flustered.

  I not only have a son-in-law, but also a son. What about my son?

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "The prince seems to have some experience in military training. I know that since the orthodox rule, most of the frontier guards have been abandoned and have no combat effectiveness. Therefore, most of the guards have been abolished, and the military households have been reorganized. Reorganized and sent to Huangjinzhou to farm. However, the guards in Jingji and Bianzhen have not been abolished. This Changping Guard, I have heard reports from people in the past, saying that it is used to laxity and has no combat power. The crown prince intends to clean up. It’s also reassuring.”

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have already thought about it. Now Changping Wei, I have to take them out to gain knowledge. I can't stay here in Changping all the time. I have made up my mind and will take them to Tianjin personally. Wei walks around, Tianjin Wei has big ships, countless ships come in and out, not only that, Tianjin Wei also has a huge training place, just right, it can let them display their skills."

  Changping Guards are stationed in the mountains, and the camp is small, which is really not suitable for large-scale drills.

  Zhu Houzhao was going to ask for orders now. Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly. The father and son had not seen each other for many days. He had a doting thought in his heart: "Since you want to go, then go."

  Zhu Houzhao said excitedly: "Whether the father will go or not, it's good to see it with your own eyes."

  Emperor Hongzhi hesitated, today the prince is also very affectionate to himself.

  How does it feel...what the hell?

   But thinking about it carefully, Emperor Hongzhi felt ashamed. Presumably it was because the father and son hadn't seen each other for a long time. How could I doubt my son so much.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at his ministers. Only now did he feel that he was in power.

   For the time being, no one in the court dared to contradict himself.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "I came to Changping on this journey. I wanted to see and see the land of enlightenment that people spread, but now, I came here on a whim. I'm afraid I will return in a disappointment. The prince's military training has nothing to do with it." State Sheji, this is nothing careless, I am his father, so why not go to Tianjin Wei, to see what the prince has trained in soldiers and horses, and to see what Jifan is capable of If they practice well, I will reward them well, oh, yes, there is also the Shen Qing family who sponsored the prince."

  Shen Wen was frightened and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not sponsorship, it's a loan that needs to be repaid."

   "It's all the same reason." Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Don't be too serious."

  Shen Wen: "..."

  …

  Chapter 3 is delivered, during the event, ask for support, ask for a monthly ticket.
