Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 245 Blockbuster

   It was extremely quiet in the Snapper for a while.

  Fang Jifan raised his eyes to look at Emperor Hongzhi, and then at Zhu Houzhao. At this moment, he was very considerate of Zhu Houzhao.

  That night in Xishan, Zhu Houzhao was so excited. The young man facing the map was full of energy and radiated light all over his body.

  But now Zhu Houzhao is like a defeated rooster. How many evils did this guy do, how many people he ruined in his previous life, in exchange for the retribution in this life.

  Fang Jifan sympathizes with Zhu Houzhao very much. If it were him, he should also feel uncomfortable at the moment.

   Therefore, he spoke very seriously.

"You can use your personality as a guarantee. This is indeed the idea of ​​His Majesty the Crown Prince. Your Majesty is wise and discerning. Is he being too harsh on His Majesty the Crown Prince? Your Majesty, Your Majesty's intelligence is beyond the reach of ordinary people, but why does His Majesty turn a blind eye?" ?”

  After hearing these words, Zhu Houzhao was about to shed tears, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and looked at Fang Jifan very excitedly.

  Old Fang, you are really my confidant, these words really touched my heart.

  Emperor Hongzhi's face was flat, and he glanced at Zhu Houzhao from the corner of his eye, probably with a look of disdain for this guy.

   Everything is afraid of comparison.

  Fang Jifan's words really made Emperor Hongzhi feel sad. Look at the Fang family father and son, who turned the tide and made great achievements.

  The other one, who is also a man of culture and martial arts in Beijing, saw that Qian Yue was bound to lose at the beginning, but now, he guessed that the battle situation in Guizhou might turn around. The Fang family father and son are really amazing.

   But Fang Jifan actually wanted to give the credit to the prince. This child... is kind and righteous to the prince.

Ah…

It's okay if you don't justify it, but the more you argue, Emperor Hongzhi compared Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao in his heart, but found that the prince who thought he was not bad is now really unbearable. You can also brazenly embrace it on your body, you are useless, you can't study well, and you don't even have virtue. Does the dignified prince need to take credit?

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "When you give birth to a son, you should give birth to Fang Jifan..."

   "..." Zhu Houzhao blinked, he didn't understand, his face was astonished, what?

  Liu Jian and others also sat on the sidelines. His Majesty, the Prince, and Fang Jifan played against each other. They saw clearly, and as onlookers, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

  His Royal Highness the Prince...It is indeed a bit too much, but Fang Jifan is a man who can be made, someone who can be called a pillar.

The corners of Zhu Houzhao's mouth moved slightly, and he opened his mouth to say something, but Emperor Hongzhi obviously didn't want to get entangled in this matter, because he felt that as a father, Fang Jifan's remarks had left him with the last bit of decency, so he continued to reprimand the prince , what's the use?

  Anyway, this guy who doesn't earn money, he won't change after repeated admonitions, little beast, oh little beast.

   But Fang Jifan saw something, something was wrong, Fang Jifan is a moral person, it should belong to the prince, it belongs to the prince, how can he take the credit of the prince.

  This is immoral.

   So he spoke again.

   "Your Majesty, I think..."

  Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan, and pressed his hands on him.

"You don't need to say any more. Your father has made great contributions. If he hadn't turned the tide, I don't know what this Guizhou would have been like. It is said that if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch tiger cubs? I have such a loyal minister and good general in Ming Dynasty. Why worry about the world? Not fair!"

  It seems... Emperor Hongzhi has no interest in continuing this topic.

  Fang Jifan glanced at Zhu Houzhao, only to see that he was wronged and looked sad. Fang Jifan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he can only help you here.

  Your Highness, please do it yourself.

"Not bad!" Ma Wensheng was still pinching the report, read it twice, and couldn't help but beam with joy: "If it weren't for Nan Hebo, I'm afraid that what the court has received now is the biggest bad news since Tumubao. , Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, the entire province of Guizhou will fall into the hands of thieves, and Nan He's uncle dared to make such an incomparable feat, attracting the attention of the world, this is the result of His Majesty's insightful eyesight."

   "Your Majesty has a clear understanding of the details, and the ministers are amazed." Liu Jianren and others couldn't help but beam with joy, and followed suit.

   Yes, it was His Majesty's decision to let Fang Jinglong go to Guizhou at that time, against all opinions. Only now did he find out that if the commander-in-chief hadn't been Fang Jinglong, Guizhou would be completely over.

   From this we can see how wise His Majesty is.

  Of course, such bragging is actually justifiable. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. After all, their proper flattering is beneficial to physical and mental health.

  Emperor Hongzhi was overjoyed, not because of this insight, but because a big stone settled in his heart, he looked around at everyone, and then spoke.

   "In the past few days, there have been many good news. First the sweet potato, and then the great victory in Guizhou. This is not my sage, but the blessing of my ancestors. It is the father and son of the Fang family sharing my worries, and it is also the result of the hard work of the soldiers...'

  He paused: "If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded, and if you have demerit, you will be punished."

   When he mentioned it, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but give Zhu Houzhao a cold look.

   Immediately he said again: "Nan Hebo has made such a contribution. Such a military achievement cannot be ignored. The Ministry of War must immediately draw up regulations, so as not to chill the hearts of the soldiers."

Ma Wensheng nodded and nodded. The Ministry of War has its own old rules for rewarding meritorious deeds, so there is no need to worry about it, but... he calmed down: "Nan Hebo's contribution this time is very great, so I think, Nan Hebo's reward, please Your Majesty Holy Judgment is good."

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Fang Jifan."

   "Your Majesty is here." Fang Jifan was delighted, and replied with a smile: "What is your Majesty's order?"

  Emperor Hongzhi took a deep look at Fang Jifan: "According to Qing, how should your father be rewarded for such meritorious service?"

  Fang Jifan felt a little cheated. You asked me what I was doing. I am my father’s son.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a half-smile, as if he was trying to teach Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jifan thought about it seriously, and then said: "I think that His Royal Highness the crown prince is the crown prince, and the minister is a minister. If your majesty wants to teach you, you should also test the prince."

   "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a moment.

   Then he looked at Zhu Houzhao.

  Zhu Houzhao's heart turned cold, and he co-authored with himself for a long time to mess around, but in the end he became a bad person instead.

  Who knows, Fang Jifan's words suddenly gave him a glimmer of hope.

  He gave Lao Fang a grateful look, with tears in his eyes.

  In this world, only Lao Fang knows me best.

   "Then, prince... tell me about it." Emperor Hongzhi said with a straight face.

  Zhu Houzhao cheered up, and saw Fang Jifan gave him a wink, which seemed to be encouraging, and also hoped that he would wash away the insult and cheer for himself.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help taking a deep breath: "Father, it depends on what precedent you follow. If it was the old system of Emperor Taizu Gao, Mu Ying, the adopted son of Emperor Taizu Gao, led the army into Yunnan. Because of his meritorious service, Xiping waited for him Therefore, today, Nanhebo’s contribution to the pacification of Guizhou is no less than that of Muying’s township of Yunnan, and he should be given a title.”

"In addition, during Taizu and Emperor Wen's time, there were many people who made great achievements, so the titles were widely granted. After Yingzong, the imperial court seldom conquered externally, and internally, there were few rebels who made rebellions. The so-called rebels were mostly There are very few thieves, like Milu's rebellion, that shook the government and the public, and it is precisely because of this that Nan Hebo's contribution is hard to come by."

   Zhu Houzhao actually started to speak clearly and logically.

   This time, Emperor Hongzhi was a little stunned.

  In any case, it is impossible for Fang Jifan to give the crown prince a sneak peek in advance about how to reward meritorious deeds.

  Emperor Hongzhi thought that this guy's answer was either a random nonsense, or a concise seal of honor, but unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao started to talk at length.

   "Go on!"

  Emperor Hongzhi remained silent.

  Zhu Houzhao was sad and indignant, but he continued.

"But since it is a reward, you can't just follow the old system. There is a saying in the art of war that soldiers are impermanent and water is impermanent. Although Guizhou has won a great victory, Guizhou has initially decided that the imperial court killed so many during the process of countering the rebellion. The natives, although the natives have been suppressed, they must not be convinced..."

  Emperor Hongzhi's eyes changed. At this moment, he began to sit upright and listened very seriously.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Father, this is a **** enmity. Besides, in the court, since the situation has been vented, the chieftain of Yunnan and Guizhou must be more disobedient. Therefore, although Milu is flat, he can The hearts of the people are still dissatisfied, and the chieftains of Yunnan and Guizhou must also be dissatisfied, and in this situation, the only thing the imperial court can do is to use this huge victory to forcefully push for reform."

"But if we plan to enforce it, there are many contradictions inside and outside Guizhou, and the relationship between the Han and the natives has reached the point of death, then... there must be a person who makes the natives fear and guards in Guizhou. Those who are dissatisfied dare not act rashly. If this person can stop the native children from crying at night, and make the natives hate him deeply, but tremble, father, right now... the only candidates are Nan and Bo. "

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded again and again.

  Even Liu Jian and others, including Ma Wensheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, seemed to have touched their hearts.

  The words of the prince are very reasonable.

   The reward is second, and what is really important is to solve the follow-up problems, otherwise, even if the rebellion subsides, a new rebellion will be brewed, and there will never be an end.

  The highlight of the crown prince is that he didn't start with rewards, but began to analyze the situation after the rebellion in Guizhou was put down. When did the crown prince...be so insightful?

  Everyone started to get serious, wondering what the prince would know next.

  …

   Knowing that everyone is eager to read, I endured back pain and wrote the next chapter, poor.
