Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1341 The Monarch and His Subjects Get Together

Fang Jifan thought about it in his heart, and then said to Ouyang Zhi: "Oh, I never thought that this Yang Yiqing would climb up again from a small official. It's really not easy. In this way, he should really thank me If I hadn't knocked him to the ground with a slap in the face, and taught him to almost never turn over, I'm afraid he hasn't had such a chance yet."

  Ouyang Zhi couldn't answer for a while: "..."

  To be honest, Ouyang Zhi doesn't quite agree with the teacher's words.

  You can’t kill someone’s father, and his son will become stronger because of the loss of his father. After being stabbed on the beam, he will be named on the gold list and become a high-ranking official. People should thank you for killing his father.

   This is bandit logic.

  This kind of thinking is undesirable.

Of course... Ouyang Zhi didn't dare to refute his teacher, he always said what the teacher said, so he just nodded: "This time, Yang Yiqing also came to Beijing. The student wrote a letter to His Majesty mentioning him, and His Majesty called him to Beijing together. The meaning of the test is in it."

  Fang Jifan was very surprised, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked seriously: "Are you going to meet tomorrow?"

  Ouyang Zhi was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily: "Yes."

Fang Jifan yawned, and then said lightly: "Then, as a teacher, I'm afraid I have to go with you tomorrow, and then, I don't know how His Majesty will arrange for you. Now you are a great official in the frontier, and you have made great contributions. Master is very worried about your future, you are old and young, and you can't make a mistake in this official career."

  Ouyang Zhi was moved.

  My mentor is really closer than my own father. It is my luck in my life to meet my mentor.

   His eyes couldn't help being blurred again.

   After all, he is a sentimental person.

  Even if he became an official of the frontier outside, he has already cultivated a heart of iron and stone, but here, he still has tears in his eyes.

  Fang Jifan comforted him and told him not to cry. Even if he wanted to cry, he had to hold back his tears and cry in front of the emperor.

  Your Majesty is the most soft-hearted person. He has made great achievements, and if he cries again, the image of this loyal and capable minister will be revealed. Are you afraid that he will not be able to flourish in the future?

  No words that day.

  In the early morning of the next day, Fang Jifan brought Ouyang Zhi into the audience.

  Outside Fengtian Hall, Fang Jifan met Yang Yiqing.

  Yang Yiqing is still the same.

   Anyway, they are all old bones. In Fang Jifan's eyes, there is no difference.

  Yang Yiqing saw Fang Jifan, but his mind was extremely complicated.

  At the beginning, he wanted to attack Xinxue, so he resolutely went to Tongzhou.

  But... when the actual people's sentiments in Tongzhou were nakedly displayed in front of him, he was shocked.

  In any case, he could never have imagined that the people under his management would go to Baoding one after another like refugees, and countless people would regard him as a jackal. It was as if someone was stabbing his heart out with a knife.

  Back then Yang Yiqing was conceited. The more conceited he was, the more he suffered. It can be said that his lifelong knowledge has been overturned.

  He couldn't accept it at all.

Immediately afterwards, His Majesty was furious and demoted him to a petty official. He was at a loss at first, but slowly, when he looked at the world, the people and things around him, and then thought about Neo Confucianism and new learning with the eyes of a petty official, All of a sudden, he began to shake.

He began to slowly absorb these new things, as well as that new knowledge. First, there was resistance deep in his heart, and later, he was able to entertain merchants like other small officials, and even talked about the Wealth of Nations with people. He also started to pick up the quest journal, read the articles in the quest journal, and immediately began to think about the world in a new way.

  He became more and more capable, from a small official to a secretary, and then became a bookkeeper, a county magistrate and a general judge.

  The circumstances of life are really strange.

  At the beginning, he was the person who most defended the imperial examination.

  However, when he became a small official, he became the biggest beneficiary of the selection of officials as officials. If he hadn't selected officials as officials, I'm afraid that he would never have any bright future.

   After Yang Yiqing was silent, he bowed to Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jifan straightened his waist and accepted it with a big voice, without feeling the slightest embarrassment or inappropriateness at all.

  Yang Yiqing said respectfully: "Duke Qi..."

   "Hmm." Fang Jifan nodded ambiguously, his gaze fell on him.

   "Thank you." Yang Yiqing said sincerely, it can be said that he expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

  Fang Jifan was overjoyed, blinked at Ouyang Zhi, and said with a smile: "Look, sure enough, he should thank him as a teacher."

  Ouyang Zhi: "..."

   Well, Ouyang Zhi is used to it.

  What kind of wind and waves have I never seen before?

  So, he was deadpan.

Fang Jifan patted Yang Yiqing's shoulder: "You don't have to thank me. Seeing that you can find your way back, it's not in vain. A certain person on our side never asks for anything in return. If you thank me, I'll see you again." By the way, I heard that you also taught Ouyang Zhi a lot of knowledge. In this way, you regard him as a good teacher and helpful friend? This is even better. We will be a family in the future. If you don’t mind, you can call me Shigong Bar."

   "..."

  Yang Yiqing fell silent.

  To be honest, at my age, I really can't say it.

  The old man also needs face.

But…

   He sighed deeply.

   To be honest, what he is thinking about now is not learning new things. Following Ouyang Zhi, he has indeed learned a lot. Although he has not been a teacher, he has no name as a teacher and student, but he has the reality of a teacher and student.

  He looked at Fang Jifan who was overjoyed.

   I bowed down and made a salute: "Everything the students have learned comes from Mr. Ouyang. Students, rotten wood, if it weren't for Mr. Ouyang's instruction, what would happen today. The Duke of Qi should be worshiped by the students."

  Fang Jifan waved his hand and said with a big smile, "Get up, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously."

  Yang Yiqing: "..."

  To tell the truth, if it were Yang Yiqing's temper back then, he would have wanted to knock Fang Jifan to the ground a long time ago. Anyway, Yang Yiqing is also a person who has managed horse affairs, led soldiers, passed customs, and chopped people in the desert.

   It’s all good for the old man and the teacher, are you just joking now?

   Do you think I am a public toilet in the new city? Come when you want, leave when you want?

   He took a deep breath.

  Becoming a small official gave him a new temper and a new start in life, so at the moment, he has no temper at all, and his face is still gentle: "This is not a joke, it is actually a student's last word, so don't take it too seriously."

  Fang Jifan let out an oh.

  But at this time, a **** came out.

   "Your Majesty declares..."

"knew."

  Fang Jifan responded and entered the hall first.

  Ouyang Zhi and Yang Yiqing did not dare to neglect, and followed Fang Jifan and filed in.

  Emperor Hongzhi sipped green tea and sat on the imperial chair. When he heard that Ouyang Zhi was coming, he was quite excited.

  It is not easy for the monarch and his ministers to get along with each other.

   What's more, Ouyang Zhijiu was in Baoding Mansion for a long time. Although he was not far from the capital, he managed a lot of opportunities in Baoding every day, so why not Emperor Hongzhi.

   Now that Ouyang Zhi has made great achievements and returned to the court, it is even more rare.

  If Ouyang Zhi hadn't opened up the overall situation of the New Deal in Baoding Mansion, Emperor Hongzhi still couldn't figure out the future direction.

  It must be known that any knowledge, or in other words, the theory of governing the country and the world, needs to be complemented by actual governance. After all, theory needs to be combined with practice. Just like at the beginning, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, so he also needed a model for Confucianism to govern the world, such as strengthening the centralized QUAN, implementing measures such as equalization, equalization, calculation, and suing, to restrain the powerful, and so on.

  And Ouyang Zhi provided a model for the world, declaring to the whole world that the new learning and new policies are feasible.

  Three people came in, Fang Jifan and Yang Yiqing already bowed down.

  Ouyang Zhi looked dazed, but still stood.

  Emperor Hongzhi's eyes became moist when he saw this familiar face, and that familiar calm and calm look.

  He suddenly stood up.

  Looking at Ouyang Zhi.

  Thinking back then, he still remembered that Ouyang Zhi stood in front of him when someone was assassinated in the palace.

  A series of past events, like a revolving lantern, flashed through Emperor Hongzhi's mind.

  Ouyang Zhi finally realized that he was about to bow down, ready to make a big salute.

   "Ouyang Qing's family, you don't need to be too polite." Emperor Hongzhi got down from the golden palace, walked quickly in front of Ouyang Zhi, helped Ouyang Zhi up, and looked at him.

  Ouyang Qing's family is still the same, honor or disgrace is not surprising.

  Haha, my son's house.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was flushed with excitement, his eyes were moist, and he held Ouyang Zhi's arms: "I heard that the Qing family arrived yesterday evening. I wanted to tell you about it, but I also wanted the Qing family to come all the way. It's hard work to think about it. Let you rest overnight." , haha, you are thinner than before, look at you, your temples are as white as mine."

  Ouyang Zhi: "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi was used to Ouyang Zhi being silent.

  Ouyang Zhi was originally a loyal and honest person, so he didn't expect him to say anything like "I'm going to die forever."

  Perhaps, it is because of this that it seems rare.

  Of the court officials of the Manchu dynasty, only Ouyang Qing's family stood out from the crowd.

  Emperor Hongzhi said with emotion: "Come, give Ouyang Qing a seat."

  Xiao Jing moved to Jindun graciously long ago.

  He was very happy to see Ouyang Zhi, sincerely.

A treacherous person like Xiao Jing, in this life, has been wary of everyone, but he only knows that he is a pure person to Ouyang Zhi. To see such a pure person, even if the relationship is not Well, it still makes Xiao Jing respectful.

  Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi with resentment on his face, and he pursed his mouth and looked aggrieved.

  Emperor Hongzhi remembered it now, and smiled at Fang Jifan: "Fang Qing's family, you get up too, and give Fang Qing's family a seat too."

  Fang Jifan sat down in a hurry, his legs and feet were a little numb.

  Yang Yiqing, on the other hand, still worshiped on the ground.

  Last time, Emperor Hongzhi visited Tongzhou and Baoding, and he had a bad impression of Yang Yiqing. He summoned him again today, which is already a lenient, and naturally it is impossible to get any good looks.

  Emperor Hongzhi saw that Fang Jifan and Ouyang Zhi were seated, so he turned around, went up to the golden throne, and sat down.
