Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1429 A rare talent

  Emperor Hongzhi was most speechless because of this look.

  He couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment: "No matter who instigates him, I will never forgive him."

   He bit the last sentence very hard.

  Liu Jian coughed.

  He thought for a while: "Your Majesty, Li Chaowen is Fang Jifan's nephew. I think it would be best to ask Fang Jifan to ask."

   This is very clear.

   Li Chaowen is Fang Jifan's nephew, and His Majesty is Fang Jifan's father-in-law.

  This relationship... No matter how you look at it, it seems that His Majesty ordered Li Chaowen to do it.

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

  Looking at the ministers of his humerus.

  Whether it is Liu Jian or Li Dongyang, they seem a little hesitant to speak. After all, as courtiers, they still have no way to guess His Majesty's mind.

  Your Majesty will definitely not admit that it was ordered by him, but who knows whether His Majesty ordered it behind the scenes.

   This is a question that will never be cleared up. No matter how much His Majesty denies it, Liu Jian and others cannot really be the roundworms in Emperor Hongzhi's stomach.

  Emperor Hongzhi felt that he had jumped into the Yellow River, and he couldn't clean himself up.

   Of course, there is no way.

  For example, chopping up that **** Li Chaowen is self-proving his innocence. You see, I killed him, which means I am innocent.

   But then again, Emperor Hongzhi was quite lenient, Li Chaowen was just talking nonsense, because of this, and his head, obviously, was a bit unbearable for Emperor Hongzhi.

  In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao Fang Jifan."

  …

  Fang Jifan came very quickly.

  He arrived at Fengtian Hall excitedly, saluted, and raised his eyes: "I have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor..."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked around, and Liu Jian and others were all there.

  Emperor Hongzhi said bluntly: "Jifan, Li Chaowen is talking nonsense. He is your nephew. Do you know these nonsense?"

"I don't know!" Fang Jifan resolutely said: "Your Majesty, who is this minister? I put all my thoughts on serving the country. I don't have the heart to meddle in these trivial matters. My minister has been wronged. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, I will do it." Order the factory guards to investigate, but if there is any collusion between Erchen and Li Chaowen, Erchen implores His Majesty to kill Li Chaowen immediately, no, his whole family should be killed, all men, women, and dogs in the family who are over three years old will be killed. Even though the minister is his uncle, he will never frown, and the righteousness of killing relatives is happening today."

  Speaking of this, Emperor Hongzhi, who asked the teacher for his crime, was silent. Is this too much?

Emperor Hongzhi's face softened: "In this way, it is Li Chaowen who has made his own decision?" He said through his nostrils, "Hmph, do you think that I am the former emperor of Chenghua? I will listen to his treacherous sycophant. Word?"

Fang Jifan said with emotion: "Your Majesty is really a sage. The emperors of all dynasties wished to put a high hat on themselves and enjoy the flattery of their courtiers. Only my emperor is always sober and open to speak. He is only willing to accept criticism from his courtiers. Examine yourself three times and review your own faults. So far, even Tang Zong and Song Zu are not as good as your Majesty. My son reads history and vaguely remembers the allusions of Tang Taizong and Wei Zheng, but Tang Taizong can only accommodate one Wei Zheng, my emperor's sage is more than ten times that of Tang Taizong's. It's because since you came to the throne, the courtiers of the Manchu court have been encouraged by your majesty to be Wei Zheng, and your majesty has been kind and accepting with humility. The so-called people are full of temples, Why worry that the country is not prosperous?"

   "I really admire this son-in-law."

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

  Although I think this is a bit wrong.

  But it seems to be talking about the heart.

  Liu Jian and others on the side had a wooden face.

   Duke Qi is really amazing, he can brag both ways, without repeating anything, he deserves this **** to make a living by selling houses all day long.

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed, and waved his hands to everyone: "Forget it, this matter will not be pursued anymore."

  He rejected Liu Jian and others.

  Fang Jifan stayed where he was and refused to resign.

  Emperor Hongzhi knew that he had something to say, but he didn't say anything. When the others dispersed, Emperor Hongzhi said calmly, "Does Jifan have anything else to say?"

   "Your Majesty." Fang Jifan walked closer and looked at Xiao Jing warily.

  Xiao Jing: "..."

   Fortunately, he was savvy, with a numb look, he glanced at Emperor Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and Xiao Jing also left.

  In the Fengtian Hall of Nuoda, only Emperor Hongzhi and Fang Jifan were left.

  Fang Jifan bowed down: "Your Majesty, please tell me, Rong Erchen, in fact... the matter of Li Chaowen, my son is aware of it."

  Emperor Hongzhi was stunned for a moment, then pulled his face down again, with a tone of reproach: "What did you say, you just denied it."

  Fang Jifan looked innocent.

   "There were too many idlers just now, how dare I admit it?"

   "Hmph!" Emperor Hongzhi said with dark clouds on his face, "You have hurt me."

"Your Majesty." Fang Jifan calmly said, "Your Majesty, Rongchen, please explain. Your Majesty...I have no choice but to do it. Think about it, in this world, every now and then, there will be all kinds of gossip. A few days ago, you said that a saint came out. Your Majesty, think about it. Who is a saint and who has the guts? This is clearly someone who is plotting to do something wrong and wants to take this opportunity to confuse people and deceive people. Your Majesty, civilian soldiers and civilians People, there are many good things, and they can't tell right from wrong, which gives many people who plan to do wrong, opportunities to take advantage of it. So, today some people claim to be immortals, and tomorrow some people say that saints are about to come out. In this world, there is no such thing as His Majesty The edict, who dares to become an immortal, who dares to become a Buddha, who dares to be called a saint? Against them!"

  Fang Jifan analyzed it for Emperor Hongzhi in detail.

"I think about it carefully, rather than letting these people shake the country with rumors and rumors, it is better to simply use Li Chaowen's mouth to let your Majesty come down to be this saint. What's more, Your Majesty is knowledgeable, loves the people like a son, and governs the world. Is it a sage? Confucius sage is not as good as His Majesty."

  Emperor Hongzhi was dumbfounded.

  He couldn't help beating his chest and falling to his feet: "Jifan, you have harmed me. Doesn't this let everyone in the world know that I am a person who seeks fame."

  Fang Jifan said solemnly: "Your Majesty, in fact, this is a great opportunity."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan coldly, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What timing?"

"First of all, since these rumors are spread by someone, then the person who spread the rumors must have ulterior motives. Now that the real person of this dynasty, Li Chaowen, has already said that His Majesty is this saint, then, wouldn't it be a mess? If their plan is violated, these people with other motives will definitely take this opportunity to criticize Li Chaowen vigorously, they will never allow the things they have created to be wrong, and finally make a wedding dress for His Majesty."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan suspiciously, and murmured in his heart, the rumors that the saint is about to spread were really not created by you, Fang Jifan?

Fang Jifan said with an innocent face: "Your Majesty, my son is so honest, how dare he commit the crime of deceiving the king. In fact, the rumors from this saint are almost every year in this dynasty. This is really not a child. Your servant did it."

  Emperor Hongzhi gave Fang Jifan a meaningful look.

  He believed Fang Jifan, and then said: "Go on."

  Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi had calmed down, Fang Jifan said calmly.

"Your Majesty is cheating now, let's look at the follow-up development. Li Chaowen is now the target that His Majesty and his ministers put on the table. Let him bear the pain of thousands of arrows. Next, find out who is behind this rumor." , Your Majesty can just kill people and kill them."

"Not only that, the name of this saint will still be on His Majesty's body at that time. From then on, His Majesty will be a saint, and the saint will rule the world in power. This is also just to put an end to rumors and set the record straight, lest there will be such a thing in the future. gossip about it."

  Emperor Hongzhi stared deeply at Fang Jifan, his face uncertain.

  Fang Jifan's idea is actually pretty good.

  First of all, crack down on these rumormongers.

  Secondly, put an end to such rumors in the future.

  But the problem is...

  How to convince the world?

  Emperor Hongzhi really didn’t have any clues in his mind, so he couldn’t help lowering his eyes to think for a while, and then looked at Fang Jifan with doubts: "But in the eyes of the world, I am just trying to gain fame, and this Li Chaowen was ordered by me."

  Fang Jifan smiled and said: "Your Majesty can trust your ministers, can you trust Li Chaowen?"

  Emperor Hongzhi fell silent.

  Long time...he nodded.

  Fang Jifan patted his chest and assured: "Then, Your Majesty will wait patiently. My minister has a perfect plan to keep the world convinced."

  Emperor Hongzhi froze for a moment.

  Even though Fang Jifan made repeated assurances, he still felt a little unreliable.

It is not easy to convince the people of the world. Once it is self-defeating, it will be really ridiculous. It is equivalent to Emperor Hongzhi betting all his fame on Fang Jifan and asking him to gamble. .

  This seems to be playing with fire, which is very worrying.

  Emperor Hongzhi took a deep look at Fang Jifan, and asked seriously: "Are you really sure?"

  Fang Jifan said righteously: "Your Majesty, the heads of my sons and ministers will be the guarantor."

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed.

  This guy, he killed me first and played later, he has already tied me into the car.

  If it were someone else, Emperor Hongzhi would have cleaned it up long ago.

   But what else can the other party succeed.

  Not to mention the love between Weng and his son-in-law, he saved his own life twice.

  Fang Jifan appeased Emperor Hongzhi, and hurried out of the palace.

  At this moment, he was smiling, but relaxed.

  Because next... there will be a good show to watch.

  It's just that...the Emperor Hongzhi who was worried was left in the palace.

  Xiao Jing carefully poured a cup of tea for Emperor Hongzhi.

  Emperor Hongzhi took a sip.

  Xiao Jingdao: "Your Majesty's expression is calm, much calmer than earlier, I don't know Qi Guogong..."

  Emperor Hongzhi rolled his eyes at Xiao Jing, and then said indifferently: "Don't mind your own business."

   "Oh." Xiao Jing nodded, very simply.
