Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 355 The love of licking the calf

  Liu Jian worked as a duty officer for a while, and then went to the Nuan Pavilion with Xie Qian and Li Dongyang to have an audience.

   For more than ten years, Liu Jian and others have been like this, rain or shine, and they have long been used to it.

  At this time, in the warm pavilion, on the desk of Emperor Hongzhi, there was a memorial.

  Xiao Jing carefully looked at Emperor Hongzhi, his face was miserable, and he even breathed straight.

  His Majesty asked Dongchang to check the East Palace yesterday.

Xiao Jing felt really embarrassed. In fact, as the owner of the East Factory, when he was replaced by other emperors, if he wanted to investigate the prince, if he found out something shocking, it would be fine. After all, they are the emperor's slaves, and the emperor wants to investigate. Just do your duty.

  The crown prince has violated the rules of heaven. As long as he finds out something, it is not impossible to depose him.

  But the current emperor has only one son, which is the most difficult thing to deal with, but so many terrible things have been found out at the prince.

   "Sure enough..." Emperor Hongzhi looked very calm today, he seemed to have expected something: "This guy, I knew he would not be honest, and he would definitely drag Fang Jifan to take risks."

   "Your Majesty..."

   "Who knows his seals?"

"this…"

  Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "It's really an unrepentant thing."

  Xiao Jing was terrified, but he still reminded: "There is still the imperial decree, which was taken out yesterday... to Liaodong."

   "Oh." Emperor Hongzhi nodded, "Let them go."

  Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while, and said again: "Do you know why I didn't show my face yesterday? I saw that guy winking with Fang Jifan, and I actually knew their plan."

  Xiao Jing was under a lot of pressure. In fact, he gradually realized something, but he still said: "I don't know."

  Emperor Hongzhi said with a straight face: "Fang Jifan's reminder is indeed not unreasonable. That Li Long seems to be strange."

   After a pause, Emperor Hongzhi said: "But I have already opened the golden mouth, how can I change it, have you seen the emperor's order changed day and night?"

   "No." Xiao Jing began to play dumb.

Emperor Hongzhi leaned on the imperial chair, and continued: "I regret it, but I can't change the order overnight, so... I let the prince go around. If it turns out that there is something wrong with North Korea, then this false decree will come true. True The decree is still in the middle, and if the situation is not good, I will definitely not dare to take it out."

  Xiao Jing couldn't help saying: "But what if..."

"However, if there is nothing wrong with North Korea, and it is Fang Jifan's unreasonable worry, it is not simple? This decree is fake, but it was forged by someone in the East Palace. I will deal with the crown prince first, and then he will blame himself for all the crimes." Give it to a certain **** in the East Palace. At that time, even if it is a huge crime, it will all fall on one eunuch? Naturally, the crown prince wants to let him have a long memory, and in North Korea, he can order someone to appease him in private. As for the eunuch, I can be magnanimous and let him go to Fengyang to guard the ancestral tomb, and this matter will be over."

  Xiao Jing then said: "I understand, Your Majesty is wise."

  Emperor Hongzhi was expressionless.

  Although he guessed that the prince would definitely do something that would make him want to beat him up, he never expected that this guy would actually dare to do it, with such courage.

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "To put it badly, it's called treason, but to put it nicely, it's called courage to do things. Hey..."

  Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi was not angry, Xiao Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole behind. It is really clever."

  Emperor Hongzhi glared at him: "What is so clever? I am a yellow bird, is my son a mantis?"

  Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, it's my servant who is stupid and said something wrong!"

  Emperor Hongzhi didn't think he was smart at all, he just thought he was taking advantage of his son's 'absurdity', but his son was so bold, what could he be happy about?

He said indifferently: "The factory guards will stay put for now, and will go to the East Palace in a few days to find out all those ghost things. This matter must not be made public. After the large and small seals and seals are found, they will be sent to the palace immediately. If you come from the palace, you will tell the public that you have found out that the East Palace has been attacked by thieves, and if you leak a single word, you will be punished with death."

   "Your servant understands. And..." Xiao Jing hesitated and said again and again: "Your Majesty, the person who went to spread the false decree...is related to Mr. Liu?"

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "What?"

   "It's Liu Jie."

  Emperor Hongzhi had a strange expression: "This must be Fang Jifan's ghost idea. This is called dragging people into the water. If you want to die, everyone will die together."

  Xiao Jing said with a bitter face: "This Fang Jifan..."

  Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "Don't continue to ask about this matter."

  ………

  After a stick of incense.

  Liu Jian and others entered the Angler to have an audience.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked calm, and was about to discuss matters with the ministers, but he heard Xie Qian say: "Your Majesty, I heard some rumors today."

   "Rumor, what rumor?" Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly.

   "I heard... a decree was sent from the East Palace to go outside the pass. This incident is very strange. It seems to have come from Jinyiwei. I recalled that the crown prince and Fang Jifan reported the Korean King Li Long yesterday..."

   Before Xie Qian finished speaking, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang almost exploded.

What…

   Flowed out a will?

  Thinking in this way, they immediately thought of several imperial edicts posted in Xishan Academy.

  Could it be...a carrot again?

Liu Jian suddenly became serious, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, is there really such a thing? It's better to investigate thoroughly. If His Royal Highness is just playing around, it's fine to play around in Xishan Academy, but if the nonsense goes to North Korea, So much so that it shocked the whole world, this is not going to end well, not to mention anything else, but once this matter gets out, the censors will catch the wind, and the scholars will discuss it fiercely, I'm afraid..."

  Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Liu Jian with a very strange look, but only pursed his lips without saying a word.

   Xie Qian said angrily: "It's better to investigate this matter thoroughly. If it is really the case, Your Majesty, this is a big deal. How dare Fang Jifan encourage His Highness the Crown Prince like this, it is already a capital offense."

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "Since it is nothing but nonsense, why should you care about it, Liu Qing's family, don't you think so?"

  Liu Jian frowned. Although his impression of Fang Jifan had changed a lot, he even vaguely felt that even if this matter was true, it was probably the prince's idea, and Fang Jifan might just be innocently involved.

   But after thinking about it, this matter is terrible. The prince stamped seals everywhere and issued imperial decrees. There are no two days and no two masters. It is definitely not a joke.

Immediately, he said: "Your Majesty, the country has its own laws and regulations, and the imperial court also has its own rules and regulations. The minister is the head and assistant. It is reasonable to ask Your Majesty not to ignore this matter. It is better to investigate thoroughly. If there is nothing, it just proves innocence. But if It’s true, and anyone involved should be severely punished to make an example.”

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jian, but his gaze was even more strange!

  He muttered in his heart, what my son did, I know very well, what your son is doing, you don't know?

  Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "Since that's the case, it's good to check it out. Xiao Jing, go and check it out. Remember, don't make any big moves."

  Xiao Jing gave Emperor Hongzhi a meaningful look: "Your servant knows."

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Okay, let's check it first. By the way, Liu Qing's family, your son Liu Jie, what are you doing recently?"

  Speaking of his son, Liu Jian felt an indescribable sense of comfort in his heart, but on the surface, he said modestly and cautiously: "My subject, Liu Jie, has been studying in Xishan Academy since he was elected."

   "Have you disappeared for many days?" Emperor Hongzhi smiled.

   "It's been a while." Liu Jian said: "But if I can make some progress because of this, I would really wish for it."

   "Yes..." Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly: "Liu Qing's family is right, all right, let's discuss the business."

  But when Emperor Hongzhi asked such a question, Liu Jian suddenly felt uneasy for no reason!

  Why did His Majesty suddenly ask about his son? Although my son is excellent, there is really no need to suddenly ask about it.

  He finished discussing the matter in a trance, and then returned to the cabinet in a trance. Facing the memorial, he suppressed the doubts in his heart, calmed down and proceeded to draft the proposal.

   It was just that when he went back from duty, sitting in the sedan chair, he couldn't help thinking about it again.

  Did the crown prince and Fang Jifan make false edicts?

  It is possible, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a criminal record, not to mention that there is no impenetrable wall in this world, such things will not be groundless.

  But...it doesn't seem to have anything to do with my son.

   Probably not, Liu Jie is an honest and responsible person, different from the Prince and Fang Jifan.

  Liu Jian thought about it, sat in the sedan chair and laughed!

  Your Majesty and Fang Jinglong are not good at this point. They worry about their naughty child every day. Even if this child is talented and capable, what's the use of being dishonest? Didn't you just break your heart and worry about it all day long?

  My family, Liu Jie, is different. Although his aptitude is a bit mediocre, at least... don’t cause trouble, An Sheng!

  After getting off the sedan chair, Liu Jian remembered that it was almost the Chinese New Year, and the academy should be on vacation, but he didn't know when Liu Jie would return home!

  At this time, the door greeted Liu Jian, and Liu Jian asked, "Has the young master returned home today?"

"No." Menzi said with a sad face: "Master, this matter is very strange. Early this morning, the academy was over. At noon, all the students of the academy in Beijing returned home, but the young master disappeared at night. I was still thinking in my heart, did I go to play with my classmates, and asked someone to inquire, and several classmates said that they had never seen the young master since yesterday, and it is said that they were called by His Royal Highness and Uncle Xinjian, saying something... "

   "What?" Liu Jian suddenly trembled, and his whole body exploded.
