Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 325 Bestowing officials

  Fang Jifan's words made sense to Emperor Hongzhi's intuition.

  Could it be... Really because I treated the prince as a child and didn't give him a chance to be alone?

   There is also the Xishan Academy, which won thirteen juren this time, and it is bound to shake the world. The prince's appointment as the dean of the academy is a matter of great benefit and no harm.

  The princes of all dynasties were in an extremely embarrassing situation. On the one hand, they were princes, and on the other hand, they were feared by the palace.

  But in the Hongzhi Dynasty, there was no such concern at all. On the contrary, Emperor Hongzhi thought that the prince's reputation was not enough, and that the prince would not be able to restrain the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty in the future.

  Fang Jifan will make mistakes as soon as he makes mistakes, which is tantamount to adding part of the huge reputation of Xishan Academy to the prince.

  In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor and the scholar-officials jointly ruled the world. Aren’t the scholars in Xishan Academy not the scholar-bureaucrats?

  They still call the prince a great master, so it shows that the prince attaches great importance to scholar-bureaucrats.

   This is really beneficial and harmless. This imperial decree was actually made right by mistake.

But…

Emperor Hongzhi still had a tense face. He looked at Fang Jifan. Although such a statement was very good and exciting, but the crown prince carved a jade seal privately with a radish, falsely passed on the imperial decree, and claimed to be the dean and the chief military officer. ...I can't swallow it.

   As a result, the Snapper became silent.

  The more silent you are, the more oppressive you feel. Zhu Houzhao couldn't help shivering, he felt something was wrong.

   What Lao Fang said makes sense, Father will definitely listen to his advice. But... the more you obey, the time of your own death may be approaching.

  What is the meaning here...Although the father thinks it makes sense, he must have a step down. Is it just because it makes sense that he encourages the private engraving of jade seals?

  Obviously, this is impossible, and he must be taught a lesson first, and then follow the good advice, expressing that the other party's Jifan's advice is very much recognized.

  Although Zhu Houzhao does not care about the consequences, when the knife is on his neck, his desire to survive is still very strong!

He immediately burst into tears, choked up and said: "Father, Fang Jifan is right, my son...I just want to share my father's worries with all my heart, and I also want to be alone and do what I can, but my son I know that my father loves my son, so... I always worry about my son and protect my son, but my son has grown up and is willing to share the worries of my father, so I took the risk and did these outrageous things. If my father If you want to be punished, you should punish this son severely, even if you are beaten to death, you will be willing."

   This time, I was greatly inspired by Fang Jifan.

   It turns out that right and wrong are black and white, so you can say it that way.

  Zhu Houzhao is a person who is good at drawing inferences from one instance, sobbing, he said these words.

  Emperor Hongzhi pursed his lips and continued to remain silent.

  Actually, he couldn't figure out whether what the son said was true or false.

   But after he was silent, he still didn't make a move after all.

  The talk has come to this point, if you do it again, it will be meaningless.

   "You want to be alone?"

  Emperor Hongzhi stared at Zhu Houzhao.

  Zhu Houzhao nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, yes, I want to be alone."

Emperor Hongzhi immediately took a memorial from the imperial case without hesitation, threw it directly at Zhu Houzhao's feet, and said: "You should handle this matter. If you handle it well, you will be meritorious. you."

  Zhu Houzhao was ecstatic, and picked up the memorial, but he hadn't had time to read it.

   Then I heard Emperor Hongzhi say again: "Fang Jifan."

   "The minister is here."

  Emperor Hongzhi's face softened a lot, and said: "This Xishan Academy was set up by the Qing family, the so-called dean of the prince is nothing but a vain..."

  Fang Jifan said righteously and solemnly: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. This minister is rather upright. His Royal Highness is a dragon and a phoenix among people. As the dean, not only the whole academy rejoices, but also the minister's heart."

  Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and said with a wry smile, "You guys..."

   Facing these two guys who were wearing a pair of pants and covering each other, Emperor Hongzhi felt helpless.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Then how to deal with the matter of the crown prince falsely preaching the imperial decree?"

  Fang Jifan said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, this is not a false edict. This is the real imperial edict. As long as your Majesty thinks it is true, even if it is covered with a seal carved with carrots, it is true."

   "..." Emperor Hongzhi glared at him: "You also know that he carved the seal with radish?"

   "..." Fang Jifan was stunned!

  Damn it, this scum really used carrots?

  Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and said: "The imperial decree has not passed through the cabinet, nor has it been archived in the palace. This is not justified."

   "Then, send another copy?" Fang Jifan said.

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "Wouldn't it be self-defeating if I reissued a copy? People in the world will definitely suspect that since I have issued a copy before, why send another one? If something goes wrong, it is a demon. You don't know this. ?"

  Fang Jifan raised his thumbs up: "Your Majesty's ingenuity and ingenuity are admirable to you. However, you can't reissue a copy, and you can't..."

   "Send another copy." Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a moment, and then said: "It's just that this time it's not the conferment of the crown prince, but your conferment on Fang Jifan. I ordered people to pass on the decree, Xiao Jing, please write it down..."

Xiao Jing has been standing in the corner like a transparent person, but he watched the entire conversation between the monarch and his ministers before. At this moment, he had to admire Fang Jifan. Chun, it seems that this kid can soar into the sky, it is not unreasonable.

   Feeling deeply in his heart, he hurriedly said, "The servant is here."

  Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "Pass down the decree, and then order Fang Jifan to be the deputy commander-in-chief of Xishan, and the dean of Xishan Academy. This decree bypasses the cabinet as usual, so let's do it like this."

  Deputy commander in chief, Fang Jifan is understandable.

  It’s just a Xishan, and even the commander-in-chief has come out. Although it’s a strange thing, it doesn’t matter, it’s okay to make mistakes, but what is the same dean?

  Of course, in Daming, there is actually a special official position and title. For example, in the imperial examination, the first class is Jinshi Jidi, and the third class is from the same Jinshi background. They are all Jinshi, one is true, and the other is also true.

  However, the addition of a same name seems to be a little bit less meaningful. Like Mrs. Ru and Mrs. Ru, Mrs. Ru is a serious wife, and Mrs. Ru means that although you are not a wife, you enjoy the treatment of a wife.

  In short...Fang Jifan is also the dean, at least he sounds better than the deputy dean.

   What's more, it was given to a deputy commander in chief, and neither side suffered.

  Fang Jifan quickly thanked him.

  Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan, and said: "Thank you for your hard work, I know that you and the prince are brothers and sisters...um..." He had something to say, but stopped abruptly! He didn't continue the original words, but turned to say: "When I just came from Kunning Palace, Princess Taikang said that she was not feeling well, you can go and have a look, this brain disease can never be cured, it is really embarrassing." I'm worried."

  Relapse again?

  The frequency of recurrence seems to be a little faster recently.

  Fang Jifan didn't dare to neglect, he saluted and said: "I'm going now."

  Fang Jifan showed an anxious look on his face, he hurried out of the warm pavilion, and then entered the back garden. He hurried, but he came to an attic very quickly.

  As soon as Fang Jifan entered, he saw Nanny Liu head-on. With a bit of fear on her face, Nanny Liu bowed to Fang Jifan tremblingly.

  Fang Jifan didn't give her a good face, like many people in the palace, the more you put on an air of inviolability, the more she will know how to fear you.

   Entering the bedroom, she saw Princess Taikang, weak and boneless, half leaning on the couch with a thin quilt covering her head!

  Fang Jifan stepped forward and saluted: "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell again?"

  Zhu Xiurong pursed her lips, and then said: "I don't know if the old disease has recurred, or it's because of the cold, so I invite Uncle Xinjian to take a look."

  Fang Jifan sat down, and Zhu Xiurong stretched out his hand obediently.

  Fang Jifan took her pulse.

  The pulse was really choppy, and looking at Zhu Xiurong again, Fang Jifan couldn't help frowning, his chest was heaving.

   Zhu Xiurong said in a low voice: "It is said that today's rankings will be released, your student's disciple, has he passed the intermediate test?"

  Fang Jifan couldn't help being taken aback, a little surprised that Princess Taikang's news is quite well-informed.

  Fang Jifan put on a serious face, and said softly: "It's just a bunch of crooked melons and jujubes. I don't have the time to deal with them. I just let them fend for themselves. I'm ashamed to say it."

   Zhu Xiurong said, "No wonder you are so knowledgeable."

Fang Jifan sat up straight, with his hands still on her veins, and said: "The sea of ​​learning is boundless, where is there any knowledge in this world, all living beings are fools, but I am luckier and see more than others." A little bit, that's all, I don't like to say these things, and it's not something to show off, Your Highness, your pulse is a little messy."

  Fang Jifan's calm appearance, his handsome face, the sword eyebrows are always slightly furrowed, with a little melancholy, his eyes are very calm, which makes Zhu Xiurong a little moved.

   No wonder so many people have praised him recently. It is really rare to see a man as capable as he is, but also so sincere and open-minded.

  Zhu Xiurong said in a low voice: "I also read occasionally, but I always work behind closed doors, and I can't find anyone to ask for advice."

"Your Highness." Fang Jifan said: "Reading is just a process, and seeking knowledge is the purpose. Therefore, if Your Highness is studying, you must not die. You need to read and ponder. Let's talk about the simplest thing. How many ways to write?"

   "Huh?" Is this simple? Zhu Xiurong's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said with embarrassment: "I... I don't know much about it."

   "There are four kinds." Fang Jifan gently stroked Zhu Xiurong's forearm with his hand, and wrote the four ways of writing Hui.

   "Now, do you understand?" Fang Jifan pursed his lips and smiled: "This is just the simplest knowledge, it's nothing."
