Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 164 I will obey you after my succession

In fact, the Empress Dowager was also excited. How could she have imagined that the Fang family is now a mere fifth-rank security person. Thinking about it, since she married into Wei Guogong's mansion, she might have already been ranked third-rank and fourth-rank, she thought in her heart For Fang Jifan's great contribution, why not give a second-rank wife?

  But from the fifth rank to the second rank directly, this is almost unprecedented in the history of the country.

  Emperor Hongzhi's eyes fell on that Fang Shi, who was in the corner with a look of astonishment, looking unbelievable. But in terms of her attire, it's just a mere fifth grade.

  Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt that this reward was a little too much, and giving it to a third-rank gentleman, or a fourth-rank gentleman, was already a great gift from heaven.

  He was about to speak...

   But seeing that Fang Jifan had already said in a very blunt and cheerful manner: "Your Majesty is holy! The whole Fang family is grateful, and I am on behalf of my aunt, thank you for your kindness."

   This is a one-shot deal, it’s all cleared up, thank you...

  Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt that his breath was blocked. He took a deep breath, and finally exhaled the breath gently.

At this moment, all the wives in the palace have their eyes on the inconspicuous Mrs. Fang. This is just a fifth-rank Anren, and in a blink of an eye she has become a serious second-rank lady. Noble, mother is more expensive by the son, but this Fang family has become prominent directly by relying on a nephew, who wouldn't be envious?

  Fang still had an unbelievable expression on her face. The shock in her heart was conceivable, and even her body was trembling secretly. This... the reward was too heavy, beyond her imagination.

   What shocked her even more was her nephew. The naughty nephew in the past turned out to be so outstanding in the blink of an eye.

  Family is lucky!

  Thinking about the two daughters-in-law of Duke Wei’s mansion, the eldest daughter-in-law is only the third rank, while the second daughter-in-law is already the second rank, so many people gave Mu a special look.

  Mr. Mu's thoughts are even more complicated, and she is ashamed.

   When it was time for the banquet, the men had to avoid it, so in the side hall, Emperor Hongzhi set up a table by himself, and the crown prince and Fang Jifan were seated.

  Since the Empress Dowager is happy today, Emperor Hongzhi is also happy. He looked at Fang Jifan secretly, and said: "Fang Qing's family."

  The emperor is always like this, switching between the successor family and the Qing family at will. Thinking about it, this is also a kind of emperor's mind.

   "The minister is here."

  Fang Jifan responded, while looking at the cute Zhu Houzhao sitting opposite him!

  Fang Jifan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his acting skills have improved again.

   At this time, Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "I sometimes wonder whether the Qing family has a brain disease, and why this person has a brain disease, but stands out from the crowd."

  Fang Jifan was stunned. Sure enough, His Majesty had already begun to suspect, he said: "It's just that I don't have an illness. If it does, it will be terrible."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at him even more fixedly, and said, "Oh, how terrible..."

   "This..." This stumped Fang Jifan, so he hesitated and said: "Once the disease occurs, I will be as well-behaved as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

   "..." Zhu Houzhao stared at Fang Jifan, his eyes were a bit unfriendly!

  Old Fang, you cheated me.

  Actually, Fang Jifan just wanted to change the topic, because he knew that whenever His Majesty mentioned the prince, his mood would fluctuate greatly.

  Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly, looked at Fang Jifan, and then at this rebellious son, what kind of virtue this rebellious son has in Zhan Shifu, don’t I know? Yang Qing's family and Wang Qing's family often came to sue, but now they are pretending to be pitiful.

  Look at Fang Jifan, Fang Jifan always has an aunt in his heart, and he is always likable, but this rebellious son knows how to mess around.

  His face twitched, and a light flashed in his eyes, the light was a little sharp. Fortunately, he was very happy today, so...he endured it.

  Taking a deep breath, he said in an unhurried manner: "Speaking of Duke Wei's mansion, I happened to hear that there was a garrison of Duke Wei in Nanjing. It was said that there was a sect in Nanjing called the Gang of Beggars, who gathered people to make trouble..."

  Gai Gang...a very familiar name.

   Make chaos...

Ok…

  Fang Jifan was thinking in his heart that in the last life, many masters wrote many legendary stories about the Beggar Gang, and all the characters in the Beggar Gang were dedicated to the country and the people, and their righteousness was worthless.

  Fang Jifan didn't understand at the time. You said you were a beggar and went to beg for food. What kind of country are you for and what kind of monarch are you loyal to? This is illogical. Such an illogical setting is simply rubbing Fang Jifan's IQ on the ground. This person wants to eat, and he can't even eat enough, so it's against him, so why don't he keep the emperor for the New Year?

Naturally, the vast majority of people don’t think there is a problem with the master’s setting. A master is a master, and people will always worship and look up to them. A pass, not only to get a sense of superiority, but also to improve the force.

   Now that he heard that the gang of beggars was making trouble, Fang Jifan felt at ease. This is the gang of beggars, and this is what people who can’t eat should look like. Beggars in Jiangnan, pay attention!

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "I remember that Wei Guogong said in the memorandum that he had ordered Xu Shiji, the commander of Jinshanwei, to dispatch troops to suppress it. Jin Shanwei couldn't hold back..."

   After Emperor Hongzhi finished speaking, he looked at Fang Jifan with a smile.

  Fang Jifan suddenly realized that Jin Shanwei's commander Xu Shiji, isn't this his uncle!

  Wei Guogong wanted to come here to hope that his son would take the opportunity to get credit for it. After all, it was just a club, so he could easily win it, but who would have thought... There is no news for more than a month, doesn't that mean...

  Fang Jifan's face suddenly flushed red, shame, shame.

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly and said, "Your aunt has granted the order of the second rank, but he is only under the command of the third rank. This is both emotional and reasonable, so... I will reward him."

   "..." Fang Jifan said with a face of shame: "Your Majesty, in fact, I didn't expect..."

   "I didn't expect your uncle to be so miserable?" Emperor Hongzhi laughed, shook his head and said, "There will be no next time."

"yes."

  Although these words meant a bit of reproach, Fang Jifan was a bit moved. Emperor Hongzhi treated him very well.

  Zhu Houzhao was listening, but he couldn't help grinding his teeth. In his heart, Fang Jifan's uncle really despised him. He thought that if I got involved, only one thousand households would be needed to suppress the beggar gang.

  Emperor Hongzhi lost his appetite after eating some food and wine, and then said: "Speaking of which, there is still no news about Guizhou. Compared with the mere Huimen in the south of the Yangtze River, the chaos in Milu in Yunnan and Guizhou makes me worry."

  Fang Jifan said in his heart that it will have to wait until the next year to put down the chaos, so take your time.

  At this time, Emperor Hongzhi gave Fang Jifan a meaningful look, and said: "Fang Qing's family, I have already issued an order to Wang Shi two months ago, ordering him to build a mountain camp."

  Fang Jifan had heard about this matter, but the emperor was a thug, facing his ambiguous suggestion at the time, he turned his head and settled the matter.

  This is not kind.

  Fang Jifan pretended not to know, and said: "It turns out that His Majesty has already settled the matter, Your Majesty is holy, Yao, Shun and Yutang, minister..."

  Emperor Hongzhi panicked when he heard that he started boasting, and said with a squeeze of his hands, "What I mean is that there has been no news of success in Guizhou for more than two months."

  Fang Jifan suddenly became embarrassed again.

   Not working?

  That's not to blame for me, the dog-headed military commander. Even if it is, it is to blame for the poor execution and lack of attention in Guizhou.

  But the emperor doesn't reason with you, he thinks it has no effect at all, isn't it your problem?

   Zhu Houzhao on the side couldn't bear it and said: "Why don't father and son be in command...Go to Guizhou for a while." He really wanted to go to Guizhou in his dreams, and wanted to fight **** battles.

  Emperor Hongzhi gave Zhu Houzhao a hard look, and fire came out of his eyes.

  Zhu Houzhao shuddered suddenly, feeling a bad premonition.

Today, Fang Jifan came out of the palace relatively late, and the reason for the delay was rather strange. He tried to persuade me to beat his son all afternoon. At the beginning, he said, Your Majesty, today is the birthday of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager must not be defeated. Happy.

  At the end, seeing that the whole thing was done and the palace was flying like dogs and dogs, Emperor Hongzhi swung a decorative axe, and Fang Jifan hugged Emperor Hongzhi: Your Majesty, people will die, use a whip, just whip a few times.

   Then he watched Zhu Houzhao hang from the beam with his skin and flesh bruised. To be honest, his clothes were ragged, but his exposed muscles were actually quite manly.

As for Emperor Hongzhi, he was naturally very angry. There is only such a son. He will inherit the great rule in the future. This is the future emperor. When will Fang Jifan be beaten into such a talent?

It was near dusk when Fang Jifan left the palace with lingering fears. It was already deserted in front of the Meridian Gate, and the ladies celebrating the birthday had already left. He still had Zhu Houzhao hanging on the beam in his mind like a revolving lantern. Begging for mercy, and later shouting that a good man is not afraid of death, Fang Jifan gave him a thumbs up in his heart, iron-blooded real man, I Fang Jifan, I will obey you.

  Riding the horse all the way home, when he got home, thinking about his father who had been melancholy for a few days, Fang Jifan decided to tell his father the good news first.

  Who knows, just after meeting Fang Jinglong, Fang Jinglong exploded before Fang Jifan could speak.

   "The order of the second rank..." Fang Jinglong's eyes widened, the eyeballs were about to fall off, he looked at Fang Jifan in disbelief.

   In his hand, he was holding a letterhead, apparently just reading it.

This letter was sent by his cousin, because the Empress Dowager had just celebrated her birthday, and it was inconvenient to come to Fang's house, so I wrote a book to report the good news. the meaning of.
