Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1527 Imperial Order

  Han people value rural land. The so-called rural land, to put it bluntly, is land.

  When they arrived at the Golden Continent, they reclaimed the fields, built their own new ancestral halls, robbed their land, or plundered their harvests, which would cause countless people to scream desperately.

  Thus, even though Fang Jinglong led the people to fight hundreds of battles with Franji in Golden Continent, although most of them were small-scale conflicts, Fang Jinglong didn't have any worries in terms of combat effectiveness.

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded and nodded: "The Qing family must be tired when they come back. Let's stop here today. Go back and rest for a few days before coming to see us."

  Fang Jinglong stood up, and thanked him.

   On that day, the father and son went home.

  Fang Jinglong, who has not been home for a long time, first went to the back house to meet Fang Tianci.

  Seeing this child, Fang Jinglong was indeed tired, but he was full of energy, his eyes became brighter, as if he suddenly looked a few years younger.

  Although he returned to Beijing to recuperate from his illness, compared to when Fang Jifan was at home alone, the house was empty, but soon, the Fang family became lively, with countless old friends coming to visit.

  Fang Jinglong did not avoid suspicion, entertaining him every day.

  The foundation of the Fang family is in Jinjinzhou. Fang Jinglong is very clear about this. Therefore, it is not something taboo to deal with old people.

   After all, the entire Fang family, even relatives who were hundreds or thousands of years old, were all sent to the Golden Continent. The Fang family is in Daming, although they have a deep foundation, they have no worries.

   A few days later, Emperor Hongzhi summoned Fang Jifan to have an audience. From Yunnan, the government of Guizhou reported that there was another rebellion in Yunnan.

The scale of the rebellion is not large. Yunnan has begun to reform the land and return it to the people. However... the local natives seem to be dissatisfied. Ling, Duke Qian led troops to suppress it immediately, but it was a laborious effort. The mountain roads in Yunnan are rugged. From mobilizing troops to raising food and grass, it took a long time and cost a lot, but now... there is no progress.

  Emperor Hongzhi read the memorial, and his face turned cold. The three Liu Jian who came to see him couldn't help frowning and grimacing.

   "Is this because of the bad government in Yunnan?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jian and said.

  Fang Jifan just stood aside, silent.

But Liu Jian replied: "Your Majesty, the treasury has been abundant in recent years, and Yunnan has become younger. I have never heard of the bad government. What's more, not long ago, Director Chen, the censor, visited Yunnan. Even if he is honest, I have never seen him report anything inappropriate."

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help feeling melancholy after hearing this: "It's groundless. I don't believe it. It's better to find out what the reason is. He ordered the government of Qianguo to suppress the bandits. At the same time, send someone to investigate."

  Liu Jian and others said yes, and then resigned.

  Emperor Hongzhi finally came to his senses, glanced at Fang Jifan who had been standing silently aside, and said, "Is your father okay?"

  Fang Jifan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's okay."

  Emperor Hongzhi then asked again: "I heard that they entertain guests every day."

   "It's because of His Majesty's sageness..." Fang Jifan said catchily, "If my father didn't know that His Majesty treats people leniently..."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his hand, and took a deep look at Fang Jifan: "Don't say that again. He is a good father. This is because he is afraid that you will offend people everywhere on weekdays, so he wants to make more good karma. This is for your sake." plan in the future."

  Emperor Hongzhi cheered up and changed the subject: "What do you think about the matter in Yunnan?"

  Fang Jifan thought about it for a while: "I've been thinking about it, but I can't think of why those natives want to rebel. Hasn't Your Majesty sent someone to investigate?"

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "It is impossible to rely on the censor alone. Come here and order Jin Yiwei Commander Mou Bin to investigate this matter."

  The **** on the side nodded and walked away in small steps.

  Emperor Hongzhi showed a tired look, and glanced at Fang Jifan: "I have been very worried these days. The empress is not in good health recently. Although I called a female doctor to treat her, she was helpless."

  The calm look on Fang Jifan's face disappeared immediately, and he said solemnly: "But are you sick? My son, go and see?"

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

  So Emperor Hongzhi got up and led Fang Jifan to Kunning Palace.

  In the Kunning Palace, there was not much tension, but it was obvious that there were more eunuchs than before.

   Entering the hall, she saw Liang Ruying busy.

  Empress Zhang would not be lying on the sickbed, but she looked sick and haggard, got up to pick up the holy driver, and Fang Jifan greeted Empress Zhang behind, but found that Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling were also there.

  The faces of the two brothers were livid, looking listless.

  Fang Jifan straight to the point: "I don't know what's wrong with your body?"

  Liang Ruying stepped forward, saluted Fang Jifan, and roughly talked about some illnesses.

  But he said that he didn't know what to do, and he became haggard. This happened at the beginning of the year, and until now, it has become more and more serious. The female doctors and the imperial doctors prescribed a lot of medicines, but so far, they haven't gotten any better.

  Fang Jifan frowned, and couldn't help but feel concerned. Although Queen Zhang didn't look haggard, she couldn't hide her thinness and haggardness.

  He took Liang Ruying's usual medical certificate and looked at it. Zhang Heling was at the side, and said nervously: "It's okay, nothing should happen."

  Fang Jifan ignored him, but looked up at Liang Ruying: "Your Majesty still has athlete's foot?"

  Liang Ruying's pretty face blushed immediately.

   You must know that this woman's feet, in this era, are similar to many indescribable places in later generations.

  Empress Zhang looked normal, in her opinion, Fang Jifan was a junior and also her son-in-law, he was considered a half-son, so there was nothing to be shy about.

  Fang Jifan frowned, hesitated and said nothing.

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help asking: "How about Jifan...?"

  Fang Jifan said: "I have to think about it carefully. This disease... I am not fully sure. I will come to the palace to see a doctor after a month."

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but look disappointed.

  It seems...even Fang Jifan couldn't find any cause of the disease.

Empress Zhang said with a gentle smile: "Actually...the palace is fine, it's just that...it's just that I'm weaker. go."

  Zhang Heling looked at Empress Zhang faintly, showing a bit of sincerity: "Sister, we will stay with you."

  Zhang Yanling also swallowed his saliva, and the chick pecked at the rice and nodded. In the palace, not only can he accompany Queen Zhang, but here... he also takes care of the food.

  ...

   Not long after, Fang Jifan left the palace with a bit of worry.

   Returned to Fuchu.

  Fang Jinglong has been waiting for him to come back, holding the one-year-old Fang Tianci in his arms. At first, Fang Tianci was scared when he saw such a rough guy as Fang Jinglong in front of him, but when his elder father hugged him and played with him all day long, he suddenly became proud, as if subconsciously understood that he had a backer , Even the crying sound is more confident than usual.

  Fang Jifan looked at Fang Jinglong, but remembered something, and asked, "Father, when you came back, did the fleet bring back any special products from the Golden Continent?"

"Special products?" Fang Jinglong was stunned, and said casually: "It's not that the fleet landed, the people in Xishan Academy and Tuntianwei are like robbers, and the person in charge leads a group of people to divide up the things brought back from the Golden Continent. Is it all over?"

  Fang Jifan: "..."

   Well, it does seem like tradition.

   Every time a fleet comes back from the Golden Continent, it is necessary to collect various rare plant seeds, various animals and aquatic products from the Golden Continent for research by Xishan Academy and Tuntianwei.

  Fang Jifan let out an oh, and immediately wanted to run away, Fang Jinglong couldn't help asking: "Where are you going?"

  Fang Jifan didn't stop on his feet, and only left a sentence: "I'll go look for it and see what I brought back."

  ...

  West of the Urals, a city sprung up here.

  It is not a city, but a settlement among countless reclaimed fields.

  Xiao Jing arrived here with the caravan.

  Liu Jie fought fiercely with the people in the caravan, and soon knew the situation here like the palm of his hand.

"Eunuch Xiao, this place is called Xuanli, and it is the biggest foothold of the caravan. My mentor has always been working here, but unfortunately, he took people to inspect several other places in the past few days. to come back someday.”

  Xiao Jing nodded, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it could be considered that he had arrived at the place.

   Fortunately, the journey along the way, although it was freezing cold, did not suffer too much.

  He didn't want to go to other places either. This time he was here to make an inspection tour. As long as he checked the place for the Adhan ceremony, he would be considered as having completed his mission.

   There were seven Dongchang fanzi who came with them, and all of these seven people were good players. With just a look from Xiao Jing, they understood what was going on, and immediately began to pretend to be various identities and infiltrate Xuanli City.

  Although the Ural Mountains have passed, the cold air is much less, but this place is full of mud, and people spread gravel on the road. In the center of the city, there is a government office.

   Xiao Jing led Liu Jie to the government office, and saw a clerk coming out with a book bag in his face. This person saw Liu Jie's dress in a scarf, and Xiao Jing himself was also extraordinary.

  So this person hurriedly saluted: "I don't know if you are allowed to come here, why?"

  His accent is a bit weird, but it doesn't hinder communication.

   Xiao Jing coughed and opened his mouth to say something.

  Liu Jie took the lead and said: "I am a student of Xishan Academy, and I am here to pay homage to my teacher."

  As soon as he heard about Xishan Academy, the clerk's eyes immediately brightened: "Ah, he is actually a great Confucian from the Academy. I... I, Fang Tangjin, met the two gentlemen."

   When Liu Jie heard that this person was surnamed Fang, he was also in awe: "Your surname is Fang? But where is the Fang family?"

  Fang Tangjin said: "I am the side of Hanhai..."

  Han Hai...

   This vast sea is what the Ross people call Siberia.

  This person said that he was from Hanhai... Xiao Jing and Liu Jie looked at each other in dismay, and then they looked at each other seriously. Looking carefully, this person's appearance is indeed somewhat different.

  Dare to feel that this is not a Han Chinese.

  Looking at it this way, nine out of ten are people from the former Siberian Khanate.
