Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 682 The Archer

  The Fifth Prince sneered, and exchanged glances with Abu Hua.

  Abu Hua hurriedly shook his head at him.

  Fifth Prince said: "Okay, it's very good, since that's the case, then, so what if it's just a game? It's like archery! If your disciple loses, what should he do?"

  Fang Jifan crossed his hands and said: "If I win, I will get the land of Hexi. If you win, I will give you my head."

  As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall was shocked, and Emperor Hongzhi was immediately angry. He felt that Fang Jifan was treating military affairs like a child's play.

  Fifth Prince's eyes lit up: "Oh, it's scary to be afraid, you Han people are cunning, if you lose, but you don't admit it, what do you say?"

Fang Jifan said eloquently: "I can guarantee the heads of hundreds of my disciples and grandchildren. I Fang Jifan is a man of faith. If I lose, I will not lose my head. If all the heads of my disciples and grandchildren fall, they will also want to lose their heads." If you want to live in the world, you will be stabbed in the back. This kind of bet is bound to cause an uproar in the world. Even if we, Fang Jifan, are dishonest and brazen, will everyone be dishonest and shameless? And if you win, I am the son-in-law of the Ming Emperor, Your Majesty loves me so much, I will definitely do my best to ask Your Majesty to trade with Tatar unconditionally, and I will never owe you anything."

  The Fifth Prince listened, although he felt a little unbelievable.

   But when I think about it carefully, isn’t it true that I am sure that the Ming Dynasty’s unconditional mutual market has already made a fortune, so that the Ming Dynasty’s monarchs and ministers will lose face, why not?

Besides, there is a limit to how shameless a person thinks about it. With such a big bet, countless people pay attention to it, and if they lose, they still live on. Seeing people with their faces, it is better to be dead than to be alive.

  He laughed loudly: "Since that's the case, then let's do this, when can we compete."

  Fang Jifan said: "One and a half months later, the new year is about to start, and it is the best time to compete."

   "Okay." Fifth Prince Chiju resolutely said: "Since that's the case, I'll wait for you!"

  He was beaming.

  But Na Abuhua looked worried.

The Fifth Prince said coldly: "I firmly believe that Daming still has people who keep their promises. You have listened to his words. If that is the case, then you don't need to be polite here. After one and a half months, I hope you can keep your promises." .Farewell! Abuhua, let's go."

  Abuhua seemed hesitant, but when the monarchs and ministers in the warm pavilion looked at each other, Chiju had already walked out loudly, and Abuhua had no choice but to follow behind, saying goodbye.

   After the two left the warm pavilion, Chi Shu's arrogant and complacent look just now became gloomy.

  Abuhua took a deep look at Chiju, and said in Tatar: "Prince, are we too hasty?"

Chiju shook his head: "Did you forget the mission that Father Khan asked us to come? Since the exchange market is a cover, it would be great if we can fight for it. Father Khan is blessed by the Longevity, and he is the king of the land, the Khan of Khans, he How can you be willing to make peace with Daming for the rest of your life? This time I was specially ordered to come here. What I really want is to get in touch with the prince of their clan of Daming. It is Ling Chi’s crime for this prince to contact us, so he sent ordinary people here. No matter how confident he is, he must be looking forward and backward, hesitating."

"This is the brilliance of Father Khan. The best way to get rid of the hesitation in people's hearts is to let the other party see our true sincerity. I am the son of the Great Khan, and I have entered the customs. This is to tell that My lord, in order to make an alliance with this lord secretly, Da Khan is willing to pay any price, even my life. Only in this way can he put all his eggs in one basket."

  A Buhua sighed: "But if that's the case, you have a bet with that Fang Jifan now, and it is bound to attract attention. Isn't this..."

Chi Zhu laughed loudly: "This is the biggest effect of this bet. My performance today, especially in front of the Emperor Ming, convinced him that I am just a fool who is easily irritated. It is precisely such people, they will not have too many guards, but will focus all their attention on the bet in a month and a half later, we can use this bet to try our best to fight with the prince's secret envoy Just get in touch."

   "But... the bet has to count, the prince's bet is too big." A Buhua sighed.

Chi Shu didn't take it seriously: "I learned riding and archery since I was a child, and I dare not say that I am the number one archer in the desert. This archery skill can also surpass those in Monan, Mobei, and mere southerners. I don't believe that someone can do it." His arrow skills are stronger than mine, not to mention, Fang Jifan plausibly said that this person is his disciple... If he cheats, it will only make people laugh."

   Speaking of this, Chiju gritted his teeth: "So, this bet is also my wish. At that time, not only will I shoot the contestant, but also Fang Jifan, who will die without a place to die."

  Abu Hua seemed to think it was reasonable after hearing this, but he is a cautious person after all: "In short, it is better to be careful in everything."

Chi Shu has a dark face. In the eyes of others, he is just a brave man, but he has inherited the scheming of Tatar Khan. In fact, this competition has been planned in a flash in his mind. I will never lose, and I can get what I want.

"With such a big bet, if you think about it, it will definitely shake the world. Countless people are looking forward to this competition." Chi Zhu said with a smile: "This land in the west of Hexi is a huge bait, just like us It's like trapping wolves, you always need to prepare a piece of fat meat to attract wolves."

  ...

  In the warm pavilion.

  Emperor Hongzhi's face was ashen.

  Fang Jifan is too Menglang.

   It's just child's play.

He didn't interrupt immediately at that time, what's more, he just didn't want to be in public, expressing that he had the opposite opinion with Fang Jifan. After all, there were Tatars here, if the Tatars thought that the Emperor Ming was dissatisfied with the captain-in-law, It is inevitable that Fang Jifan will lose face in front of outsiders.

But when Fang Jifan finally made the bet, Emperor Hongzhi was about to stop him. Unfortunately, it was too late. Fang Jifan and Chiju were like dry wood meeting a raging fire. Come here, everything is reduced to ashes.

   "Jifan, what are you doing?" Emperor Hongzhi snapped.

  Fang Jifan said: "Don't you find it strange, Your Majesty?"

   "..."

  Everyone stared at Fang Jifan.

  However... There are also people with calm faces and a look of indifference.

  Obviously, some people found it strange that this person was Li Dongyang, but Li Dongyang didn't speak, just staring at Fang Jifan.

"What did you say?"

Fang Jifan said: "This fifth prince is so reckless. What is the purpose of such a reckless man, the Tatar Khan sent him here? What's more, if this person is really a common man, but I can see his Chinese. Although the accent is a bit inaccurate, the excerpts and quotations are all extremely accurate. It can be seen that his profound Sinology is not inferior to ordinary scholars. Such a reckless and completely impatient person is confident in his riding skills Shooting, but also proficient in Chinese, this in itself is a strange thing.”

Fang Jifan said: "I heard that after the Northern Yuan Dynasty was defeated and retreated to the desert, there were still nobles who inherited the Chinese language. As the son of the Tatar Khan, Chiju should have learned Chinese, but a Tatar wants to learn it well. , You have to have enough patience and hard work, so... I feel that this person is definitely not a reckless person, but he deliberately behaved so recklessly, deliberately made a noise here, and even made a bet, your majesty? Don't you find it strange?"

Emperor Hongzhi was only worried about the bet. After listening to Fang Jifan's analysis, he suddenly understood, and frowned: "This is also the reason why you agreed to compete with Chishu? So, the competition is just a cover. Behind this competition, there may be conspiracy. "

  Fang Jifan said seriously: "That's right, Your Majesty, I saw through Chiju's treacherous tricks at a glance, so I naturally followed suit. Let's see what kind of tricks this person is playing."

  Emperor Hongzhi's face softened a lot. Thinking about it carefully, it really is so. Chiju deliberately did this, isn't it just to irritate the monarchs and ministers, so that he and others have no time to think deeply?

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help smiling, feeling relieved: "So, I thought that the Qing family really wanted to send disciples to compete with that Chiju to complete the bet."

   "It's going to be done." Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi strangely: "I made a bet, of course I have to agree to the contract. My son is a man of integrity."

   "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi's smile gradually disappeared.

   After talking so much nonsense, what did you see through the treacherous tricks and follow the tricks, thinking that this was just a blindfold, but it turned out...

Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "The Tatars learned bow and horse since they were young, and they are not comparable to ordinary people. I heard the secret report from the factory guards. This Chiju is really good at bow and arrow. How do you compare with him? Family and country affairs, such Is it child's play?"

  Fang Jifan said: "It's not that I'm competing with him, but my disciples are going to compare with him. Although I have learned some archery skills, it's too cheap for him to appear on the stage in person. I'm too lazy to bully him."

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

  Liu Jian had a pleasant face at this time: "Captain, don't you have a good candidate? Come on, tell me who this person is."

  Many people complained in their hearts that Fang Jifan really overestimated himself and wanted to touch an egg to a stone, but after listening to Liu Jian's words, they all became quiet.

   That's right, let me tell you who this person is, maybe Fang Jifan really has a trump card.

  Fang Jifan said seriously: "This person has just entered school and is still studying. In order to prevent unnecessary interference and distract him, I dare not say his name."

  Just enrolled...

still learning…

  *Your uncle!

Emperor Hongzhi's face turned blue. This bet is related to the mutual market. Daming cannot be dishonest, not to mention, it is also related to Fang Jifan's life. Of course Fang Jifan can live brazenly. He has a thick skin and can influence Yes, but Daming's reputation will be made fun of.
