Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1691 Two birds with one stone

  Zhu Hou took care of Fang Jifan, and said very seriously: "Old Fang, a knife that weighs several tens of catties, I'm afraid it will not be fun to play with. You might as well bring a firecracker, will it make you look smarter?"

  Fang Jifan laughed dryly.

  He knew that Zhu Houzhao could really do anything.

So he hurriedly laughed: "It's just a joke, Your Highness don't need to take it to heart, but..." Fang Jifan became serious when he said this: "This incident all started because of the Yang family in Bozhou, which has occupied Bozhou for hundreds of thousands of years. , land and food, as well as the army and horses of the headquarters, who have always been low-key, and now they are suddenly attacking. Obviously... they look down on His Highness. If it weren't for them, how could such controversy be caused? I have heard for a long time that the Yang family migrated when they were in the Tang Dynasty. When they arrived in the area of ​​Yungui, they were very adaptable. At that time, Yungui was still in the wilderness. Not only did they gain a firm foothold, but they even spread their branches and leaves. Now...it has reached a point that cannot be underestimated. Your Highness, in good conscience, I firmly believe that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the son of a mouse can make holes. The ancestors of the Yang family had such abilities. It's a pity, if we don't send them to the Golden Continent, I feel like I won't be able to sleep anyway."

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Houzhao blew on his mustache and squinted his eyes: "But the Yang family in Bozhou may not be easy to provoke. After all...they have soldiers and horses. , that place, the high mountains, is a natural barrier. From the beginning of the Tang Dynasty to the present Ming Dynasty, even Emperor Taizu Gao had to hold his nose to admit their hereditary status in Bozhou. It can be seen that... wanting to make them submit is really a It’s not easy, even if you start fighting rashly, the cost will be astonishing, and it’s definitely not worth it.”

  Even Zhu Houzhao, who is in a daze, knows that it is of no benefit to force the Yang family back in Bozhou.

   After all, the Yang family of Banzhou did not threaten the imperial court. Over the years, it can be said that they have been peaceful.

  Although this is a nail, it is an eyesore. But it's better than turning your face. Although the court can wipe out the Yang family, what price will it pay?

  Fang Jifan's heart is hot.

  The Yang family has so many people.

   These are the talents that Golden Continent needs!

  Although the lower limit for talents in Huangjinzhou is relatively low, it would be great if you can have healthy limbs. If you only have a lame foot and an arm missing, even if you only have the ability to reproduce, then you can be considered a talent.

  Fang Jifan is also a very stubborn person at certain times, is it so easy for him to give up?

  The answer is naturally impossible!

He clenched his fists and said: "Your Highness, Your Highness, this Yang family just didn't take His Highness seriously, so he wrote the letter, and he blamed His Highness the Crown Prince for killing the gentry openly and secretly! It's unbearable. Your Majesty, you are both a monarch and a close friend. I really can't stand it anymore. If you don't send these dog-like things to the Golden Continent, you will have a hard time sleeping and eating. Besides, you don't have to go to war to deal with them. You only need one person , so that the Yang family of Bozhou can be arrested without a fight. What's more, the Yang family of Bozhou dares to provoke His Royal Highness, can you not show them some color? Your Royal Highness, leave this matter to the minister, and the minister only needs one person to handle this matter. thing."

   "Oh?" Zhu Houzhao was taken aback, but became curious.

  Fang Jifan smiled and said slowly: "Gu Dayong!"

  Gu Dayong is Zhu Houzhao's sidekick. Ever since Liu Jin was in charge of Sihai Commercial Bank, Gu Dayong has been by Zhu Houzhao's side at any time. He has almost replaced Liu Jin's duties.

  This guy doesn't like to jump around like Liu Jin, and he doesn't like to die like other people. He always looks honest and honest. Of course...it is impossible to be an honest person if he can work by Zhu Houzhao's side.

  At this time, Gu Dayong was accompanying him. At first, when he saw the Duke of Qi fooling His Highness the Crown Prince, he was laughing foolishly at the side.

  He is well versed in the temper of His Highness the Crown Prince, and knows the way His Highness cannot be provoked.

  Therefore...every time he saw Qi Guogong use this trick, he grinned and smiled honestly, as if he was about to enter the bridal chamber.

   When Fang Jifan heard the words Gu Dayong pop out of his mouth.

  The simple and honest smile still remained on his face, but a trace of panic had already flashed in his eyes.

   Immediately... the panic in his eyes began to spread to his facial muscles.

  His throat made a gurgling sound, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.

  His body was like mud, and he collapsed.

   Immediately, he collapsed on the ground, and wailed: "Oh my god, His Royal Highness, slave... slave dare not go, slave dare not..."

  Zhu Houzhao was taken aback for a moment, never expecting that the person Lao Fang mentioned was actually Gu Dayong!

Can…

   Looking at the howling Gu Dayong, Zhu Houzhao was only annoyed.

  This shameful thing.

  So I couldn't help but raise my legs angrily to kick the valley.

  Gu Dayong hurriedly covered his head to hide.

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "Dog thing, what is the funeral, just go if you let me go, will Lao Fang cheat you? What do you usually say, you want to die for this palace, and now you have a chance? Why, How dare you be unfaithful? You bastard..."

  Gu Dayong lay on the ground and shivered. He never imagined that such a transparent person as himself would be missed by Duke Qi. His tears fell, but he didn't dare to breathe out after hearing Zhu Houzhao's words.

Fang Jifan pulled Zhu Houzhao back with a pleasant face: "Your Highness, don't hit him, keep his useful body, anyone in this world can use it, even a cat or a dog, even a piece of toilet paper is useful, don't break it, Give me a face. Gu Dayong, you go to my place tomorrow, and I will give you a face-to-face instruction, and then prepare to go. Remember, you are only allowed to go alone, and no one is allowed to take it with you. Even if you die, you must not take it with you. Expose your identity, understand?"

  …

  The next day, Fang Jifan waited patiently.

  Gu Dayong came here feeling aggrieved.

   Eyes are still swollen, as if she cried all night.

  Fang Jifan was very enthusiastic and patted him on the shoulder: "Our little strong man is here."

  Gu Dayong: "..."

  Fang Jifan took him to the hall, invited Gu Dayong to sit down, and poured tea for Gu Dayong himself.

  Gu Dayong was even more frightened to piss. He didn’t dare to sit anymore, and knelt on the ground again with a slap: "Qi Guogong, my own, my own people, my servant Qi Guogong, has always been respected, Qi Guogong... look at the slave girl... look at the slave girl..."

  Fang Jifan suddenly put on a straight face, and shouted: "Why, don't you have toast and fine wine?"

  Gu Dayong suddenly became deflated, and his face was miserable: "Eat... eat a toast, it's just... how can the servant..."

  Fang Jifan looked at him with a half-smile, he didn't enjoy such torture at all.

   It must be reiterated that Fang Jifan is a person who has broken away from vulgar tastes. In his bones, he has the virtues that a modern person should have.

He sat down and took a sip of tea slowly: "It doesn't matter whether you are capable or not. To me, Fang Jifan, as long as you are interested, you will be useful. Now I want to use you, but you are pushing back and forth. What is the reason? Look down on me Fang Jifan? Don't make people anxious, you make me anxious, I will hand over the private money you secretly hid to His Royal Highness, and your nephews, nephews... all will be chopped up and fed to the dogs."

  Gu Dayong shuddered, and quickly waved his hands: "Don't, slaves don't dare to provoke..."

  It was Fang Jifan who provoked us, so why did we provoke him?

  Of course, there is no reason to speak with Qi Guogong.

   "In this case, then obediently listen to my words and do it. If it is done, it will be for your benefit. If it is not done, it will be regarded as being loyal to His Royal Highness."

   As he said that, Fang Jifan gave some orders, so and so, and so and so, Gu Dayong was terrified by hearing it, and felt that his life was not in his own hands.

  After finishing his orders, Fang Jifan stroked his shoulders, and personally sent him to the door. At the door...a car and horse had already parked.

  Fang Jifan said: "Work hard, I have always been optimistic about you, it is not early, hurry up and get on the road, and the journey will be smooth."

  Gu Dayong got into the car tremblingly.

   With a click, Fang Jifan closed the car door.

  Gu Dayong was still in shock, but found that there was a scratching sound outside the car.

  He was so busy that he stuck his head to the glass window to look, and then began to pat on the glass of the car window, shouting: "Why is it still locked, Duke Qi, it's so good, why is it still locked..."

  Fang Jifan took the iron chain and locked the door at the door. Then he felt relieved, ignored the sound of beating the carriage and howling, and waved to the carriage in a happy mood.

  At this time, Wang Jinyuanxing came excitedly with a bulletin sent by Feige in his hand. Seeing this scene, his face was miserable.

  Fang Jifan with his hands behind his back, watched the carriage slowly go away, showing a satisfied smile.

  Wang Jinyuan stepped forward tremblingly: "Master...Master...today...this...what are you doing?"

  Fang Jifan said resolutely: "Your young master, for the sake of the court, I really broke my heart."

  Wang Jinyuan felt his neck was chilly.

  Fang Jifan glanced at him, knowing that Wang Jinyuan didn't understand him.

   I sighed in my heart.

  His Royal Highness the Prince is about to ascend the throne.

   Soon, a group of old people from the East Palace will ascend to heaven.

   Needless to say, Liu Jin, this is his own grandson, and he is becoming more and more stable.

   But what about Gu Dayong and these people?

   These people, keeping them will be a disaster sooner or later.

   It is not necessary to stay, the emperor cannot be without eunuchs, without Gu Dayong, there will be Zhang Dayong, and there will be Li Dayong.

  Therefore, Fang Jifan must learn a lesson from Gu Dayong and these people.

  Don't get in the way easily. If you get in the way, there are ten thousand ways to kill you.

  Be obedient and obedient, and if you listen, you will benefit from doing things for Fang Jifan.

   This reward and punishment is to teach them to be human.

  What's more...Golden Continent is the foundation of the Fang family, so we have to plan for it.

   In Huangjinzhou, population is the most important issue. If we don’t send more people there, how will we develop and grow in the future?

  Manpower is the most precious resource.

  With people, there is everything.

   This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

   Not to mention, tidying up the Yang family in Banzhou can also strengthen the prince's prestige, and let people know that provoking the fate of His Royal Highness will be beneficial to promote the unity of the ruling and opposition parties in the future.

  Fang Jifan was too lazy to explain to Wang Jinyuan: "Why, what's the matter?"

   "Master, there is a piece of news from Luzon. The villain finds it very interesting, so I come here to report it."
