Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 709 The strong wind knows the grass, and the honesty knows the honest minister

   "I see." Fang Jifan glanced at his wife and his old mother-in-law from afar.

  Actually...my mother-in-law is not old.

  Emperor Hongzhi really had nothing to say to Empress Zhang. When he heard that he was going to name his child Fang Aiguo, his voice became much quieter, fearing that Empress Zhang would listen to him.

  Fang Jifan, who has memorized the Ming Dynasty Records back and forth, of course knows Emperor Hongzhi's feelings for Empress Zhang.

   It’s not just recorded in the Records of Emperor Xiaozong: ‘Emperor Xiaozong ascended the throne, established Zhang as his queen, loved each other deeply, lived together in the palace, favored nothing else, just like a folk couple. '. They are almost inseparable and live together.

Another time, Empress Zhang got a mouth sore, and Emperor Hongzhi fed the medicine himself, and served him with mouthwash. Empress Zhang lay down, and he stayed by her side. When the queen fell asleep, Emperor Hongzhi felt itchy throat and wanted to cough, but he was afraid After disturbing Queen Zhang, she kept holding back, and waited until she had walked a long way before coughing desperately.

  So Emperor Hongzhi was very afraid that the words Fang Aiguo would be heard by Queen Zhang.

  He waved at Fang Jifan: "Come on, I have something to tell you."

  Leading Fang Jifan to the side hall, he said first, "This is my grandson, so you don't need to name it."

  Fang Jifan said: "Why, I am his father."

  Emperor Hongzhi folded his hands behind his back, wanting to get angry, but after all he was a generous person: "There is no reason, I am his grandfather, and I came to give him a name. You are not allowed to talk back. Talking back is deceiving the king."

   "Oh!" In the face of power, Fang Jifan finally gave up and had no choice but to nod.

  Emperor Hongzhi said again: "You accept the order of the Hanlin to study in Xishan Academy."

  Fang Jifan said: "I have received it."

  Emperor Hongzhi gave Fang Jifan a meaningful look, and then said: "It's good to receive it, I am definitely not a whim. Such a big matter is the result of my careful consideration. It has a lot to do with it, do you understand?"

  Fang Jifan knew that Daming's national policy was likely to change.

  What is Hanlin? Hanlin is the most elite elite of Ming Dynasty, and what they represent is the future of Ming Dynasty.

What kind of talents and future does the Ming Dynasty need? An old giant ship may have to change course;

  Emperor Hongzhi said with emotion: "I have great expectations for you, don't let me down."

  Fang Jifan understood in his heart, and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I dare not do my best."

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded, he suddenly glanced at Fang Jifan, and said, "Do you think I'm pedantic?"

   "..." Fang Jifan paused for a moment: "I didn't, it wasn't me, who said that?"

Emperor Hongzhi gave Fang Jifan a deep look, but then smiled: "You are young people, of course you can do things without thinking about the consequences, and just want to do one thing well. But I am the Son of Heaven, and I have to worry about everything. , when you reach my age, you will look forward and backward like me, think twice about everything, and worry a lot."

Fang Jifan said sternly: "Whether my minister will become like your Majesty in the future, I can't say. But if my minister dares to use the head as a security, if His Highness the Crown Prince reaches His Majesty's age, he will definitely not change his true colors. He will definitely not be His Majesty." Like this."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "The prince has his good points and his bad points. You can't generalize everything. People, of course, have good and bad. If they are all good, they will become a saint. Of course, I know his good points are Where, but he is not good, but I still hope he can correct it. He must think that I am criticizing him, but you don’t understand, he is a prince, and the future will be the emperor. His good points can benefit the world, and his bad points It may also harm the people of the world, I have seen his bad side, if I don't severely correct him, then it will be my fault."

  Fang Jifan couldn't help feeling ashamed and said: "Unexpectedly, His Majesty would know that the crown prince is also good."

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "If my son doesn't know about it, then I'm too stupid."

  Fang Jifan raised his thumb: "Your Majesty is wise."

  …

  After listening to what Emperor Hongzhi said, Fang Jifan did not dare to neglect the admission of the Hanlin Bachelors. His Majesty attaches so much importance to it. If there is no result, these Hanlins will still be useless. Is that okay? Fang Jifan would be ashamed...

  Emperor Hongzhi continued talking to Zhu Xiurong.

  Fang Jifan saw Xiao Jing winking at him.

  Fang Jifan deliberately walked to the eaves of the sleeping hall, Xiao Jing walked over slowly.

   "What are you doing?" Fang Jifan said calmly.

   "Keep your voice down, keep your voice down." Xiao Jing was afraid of Fang Jifan, what are you doing nonsense, we are talking about secrets, we must not show it to others.

  Fang Jifan whispered: "What are you doing?"

   "I have something, let's talk to the captain." Xiao Jing smiled.

  Fang Jifan said: "Speak up if you have something to say."

   She gave him a lot of face, and she swallowed the next sentence, after all, she is now a son-in-law, a role model for men in the world.

Xiao Jing said in a low voice: "Fang Duwei, Dongchang has found a very rare thing, that is, the Tatar man. Does Fang Duwei have any impression? contact with certain people."

  Fang Jifan looked deeply at Xiao Jing: "And then?"

Xiao Jingdao: "We feel that it is unusual, especially after the death of the fifth prince, the Tatar envoy Abu Hua has been staying in the capital, he dare not go back to the desert, fearing that because of the death of the fifth prince, the Tatars will be killed." Khan angered him, so we started from him, although Abu Hua refused to cooperate with us, but... also revealed a little information, this matter... is very likely to be related to King Ning."

  King Ning... colluded with the Tatars.

  Fang Jifan's expression was surprisingly calm.

Xiao Jing looked at Fang Jifan with a smile: "King Ning sent someone to contact Abuhua and the fifth prince. Now that the fifth prince is dead, Abuhua dare not go back to the desert. His wishful thinking has failed, and he must be very anxious now." , I am afraid that things will be revealed."

  Fang Jifan said: "Why did you tell me these things, why didn't you tell His Majesty immediately?"

  Xiao Jingdao: "Isn't there no proof yet? Without real evidence, how dare we slander a prince of Ming Dynasty and think that he has lived too long?"

Fang Jifan nodded, thinking it made sense: "So you tell me, you want me to say it, or you think I'm a two-faced person, I can't hide things in my heart, and I will definitely not vomit when the time comes. Old Xiao, are you Do you want to use me as a gun?"

   "..." Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "No, no, we are not such a person, but want to discuss with Fang Duwei."

   "Need to talk about it." Fang Jifan wanted to beat someone.

Xiao Jing hurriedly took two steps back, and said with a wry smile: "What we are most afraid of is that once the king of Ning sees a change in the capital, he will be anxious and do something he shouldn't do. Captain Fang, if he is in a hurry, he will wall jumper."

  Fang Jifan calmed down: "Then what do you want to do?"

Xiao Jingdao: "Nanchang Mansion, we have already started to arrange. Just in case, we have checked all the imperial guards in the capital, especially the Warrior Battalion. They have been stationed in the imperial city recently, and they will never be random. Change of defense, recently all the personnel entering and exiting the palace, servants and servants pay special attention...Of course, we are in the open, no one is allowed to be in the dark, Captain Fang is a capable person, you should also be careful with the prince."

  Fang Jifan breathed a sigh of relief. Although this Xiao Jing is not a kind person, rotten PI stock, shameless, but to the Emperor Hongzhi and the crown prince, to be honest, he is still loyal.

  Fang Jifan said firmly: "Leave it to me at Xishan."

  Xiao Jing heaved a sigh of relief: "This is great, hehe..."

  …

  In the evening, Fang Jifan and Zhu Xiurong went out of the palace together.

   Zhu Xiurong's face was bright red. I don't know what the empress Zhang said to her, Fang Jifan couldn't help but asked curiously: "Why, is there any happy event?"

  Zhu Xiurong said angrily, "You will know when the time comes."

  Fang Jifan shook his head, chirping and humming: "The husband and wife are not in agreement, and there is still a secret, the son-in-law captain who made tears for her husband..."

  …

  Emperor Hongzhi saw that it was still early and he was still ready to move, so he went from Kunning Palace to the Nuan Pavilion.

  Order someone to pass on Ouyang Zhilai, asking him to send all recent memorials.

  Ouyang Zhi came with a stack of memorials, and Emperor Hongzhi bowed his head, holding a ink brush, and began to review the cabinet drafts.

  The oil lamp was burning, and it was very quiet. Emperor Hongzhi looked very serious, and Ouyang Zhi who was on the side didn't say a word.

  But at this time, someone outside said: "Your Majesty, the **** Liang Jing, Shangyi Supervisor, has come to see you, and said that there is a big event to report."

  Emperor Hongzhi had some impressions of this eunuch, he was silent for a moment and said: "Call in."

  A moment later, an **** walked in slowly, and said with a smile: "Slave Liang Jing, I have seen Your Majesty."

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

  The **** said: "The servant girl discovered that there are obscene paintings in the palace, and felt that the matter was of great importance, so she came here to report."

  Emperor Hongzhi was a person who was out of vulgar tastes. When he heard that there were **** pictures in the palace, his face immediately pulled down, and he said in a deep voice: "Bring it, I will take a look."

  Liang Jing bent forward, slowly trying to take out something from her sleeve.

   When he was in front of Emperor Hongzhi, suddenly, a cold light flashed from his sleeve, and what he took out was a sharp dagger.

  Emperor Hongzhi was stunned when he had never seen such a formation before.

  Liang Jing seemed to be determined to die. When she took out the dagger, her forehead was covered with sweat from soybeans, and her body was trembling.

  But at this moment, Ouyang Zhi's eyes suddenly flashed, this time...he didn't realize it.

  Ouyang Zhi shouted: "There are assassins."

Immediately, he hugged Emperor Hongzhi and rolled, but the dagger had already arrived. Ouyang Zhi subconsciously raised his arm to block it. After the dagger flashed, blood sprayed out immediately, but it was half of Ouyang Zhi's palm, including the belt. The bone was broken in half.

  …

  Chapter 2 was delivered, and the tiger asked for a monthly pass. The battle was fierce.
