Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 950 Hidden secrets

   When the officials retreated, the excited expression of Emperor Hongzhi still fell on his face.

  With his hands behind his back, he was silent for a long time, looking at Fang Jifan with great interest, and then at Zhu Houzhao.

  No matter what he said, his heart was actually satisfied.

Although his son is not very well-behaved, but after all... he is still filial, even if he knows that this guy has hidden many things about himself behind his back, and he is not respectful to himself, but back then, when Emperor Hongzhi was seriously ill, it was also in the eyes of this son With tears in my eyes, I was so excited to rescue myself.

He also has a son-in-law, although he has a brain disease, but Emperor Hongzhi knew that this person's character is not bad, it's just a young man, there will always be times when he gets confused, just tap it once in a while, it will be fine, although... Most of the time knocking is not very successful.

  Of course, the most important thing is that he has a proud grandson...

  When he thought of his grandson, Emperor Hongzhi felt that the world was full of hope.

  He cheered up, and looked at Zhu Houzhao with hatred: "The matter of the seal will not be mentioned in the future."

   "Why?" Zhu Houzhao looked annoyed.

  Fang Jifan sighed in his heart, people with high IQ often have low EQ. That's right, I'm talking about myself, I'm too bad at being a human being...

  Emperor Hongzhi was surprisingly good-tempered, but he said indifferently: "Because I said, no!"

  Zhu Houzhao was shocked, but he was a little bit dissatisfied: "It was you..."

  Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi looked over coldly with unfriendly eyes, Zhu Houzhao finally closed his mouth wisely.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan: "Is it your idea to set up a county in Xishan?"

  Fang Jifan said with shame: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that this is the decree issued by His Majesty himself."

  Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan with a half-smile...

this…

  The relationship is quite messy.

  Fang Jifan's idea was to set up Xishan County, using a fake edict. Of course, this forged edict was made by Zhu Houzhao. Ever since, the emperor's grandson has today, and naturally he also has the credit of Emperor Hongzhi.

   And Zhu Zaimo took out a fake jade seal, and Emperor Hongzhi did not hesitate to pin this pot on Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan. Then, why did Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao not have the credit for the emperor's redress of the unjust prison?

  So...everyone is even.

   They all took the blame, but the ending seemed to be a happy one.

  Emperor Hongzhi said with emotion: "The Qing family, how could you think of this?"

Fang Jifan said sternly: "Your Majesty, this is exactly the purpose of the new learning, the unity of knowledge and action, there are thousands of principles in the world, which one does not sound enlightening? But your majesty, you can really act according to the principles People, how many people are there? Instead of instilling human principles, it is better to let people find the truth in practice. The aptitude of the emperor and grandson is mediocre, so this son-in-law took great pains to create a method for him to understand the truth."

Fang Jifan paused, and then said: "Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was born in a reckless family. Did he ever learn any principles when he was young? His knowledge, let alone compared with Confucianism, may not be comparable to ordinary people, but He created the foundation of the great Han Dynasty and made us name it Han. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was born among the people, and what principles did he learn? But he still created the great cause of Zhongxing. It goes without saying that I am the emperor Gao, the great ancestor, but your majesty Don't you think that these three talented and general rulers don't know the reason? The so-called "what is done on paper will eventually become superficial, and you will never know that this matter must be practiced is exactly the reason."

Emperor Hongzhi kept nodding his head, and said in agreement: "You are right, but in fact it is more than just Zaimo. Even the officials in the court, if they have no experience and don't know the suffering of the people, even if they know the great truth, they can't do it." It may not be a pillar of talent, I feel more and more like this over the years."

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but sigh with emotion. When he thought of the way the court selected talents, he seemed to feel that there were many inappropriate things that needed to be revised, but he didn't know where to start.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled wryly and shook his head. Suddenly, he remembered something, looked down at a book on the case, and then wrote lightly: "Your disciple wrote an article on the Wealth of Nations. This article was published in this issue. I have already read the journal, and just now let Liu Wenshan explain this book in front of you and Zhu Qing, and he has spoken several times just now, I think it makes sense, but..."

  Emperor Hongzhi paused for a moment: "It's just that I feel that this book may have a lot of points, but... there are also many places that are exaggerated. What do you think?"

  Fang Jifan said seriously: "Your Majesty, this Theory of the Wealth of Nations is really a wonderful book..."

Emperor Hongzhi coughed, and then said: "You tell the truth, don't flatter your disciples, I naturally know that this book is written by Liu Qing's family, but his knowledge comes from you, it is naturally your knowledge, you Fang Jifan, You are the owner of this book, you are not young anymore, you are no longer a child, let alone use your brain disease as a cover, I don't want you to boast about yourself, but want to know your real thoughts."

  Fang Jifan was a little confused.

  What do you mean... This has become my own thought again?

Wang Shouren's innovative learning, apart from being a human being in two lifetimes, compared with Wang Bo'an, he is not enough to lift his shoes. The new learning is created by oneself, with the conscience of heaven and earth, will Fang Jifan be the kind of person who plagiarizes other people's achievements? To put it bluntly, our Fang Jifan has always been open-minded. It's shameful to think about stealing other people's achievements.

   But no matter what Fang Jifan explained, the Emperor Hongzhi and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty refused to listen, so they recognized Fang Jifan.

Well now, this Theory of the Wealth of Nations is a book compiled by Liu Wenshan after years of observation of economic activities, and finally exhausted his efforts. How much can I really improve my lazy temper?

   What the hell, has it become my own knowledge again?

  Fang Jifan is a person with a sense of justice, and being honest is the bottom line he has always adhered to.

So he immediately shook his head like a rattle drum, and he was about to cry, saying: "Your Majesty, no, really, if this country's wealth theory is the knowledge of my son, and Liu Wenshan is just picking up my son's teeth, my son I swear to God, Xu Jing, my most beloved disciple, is still overseas, if I tell a lie, the thousand-foot waves will shoot Xu Jing to death..."

Emperor Hongzhi stared at him, and said coldly: "Don't say that there are none, the fleet was built with my internal funds, why, you paid for the death of Xu Qing's family and my fleet? "

   "..." Fang Jifan was at a loss for words.

   Does this prevent people from telling the truth?

  Under such a big question of right and wrong, His Majesty actually only cares about his pocketbook, how vulgar.

Emperor Hongzhi obviously didn't believe Fang Jifan's words, but now he didn't continue to discuss this issue with Fang Jifan. He leaned back slightly, put his hands on the imperial case, and said indifferently: "In this book, it is actually believed that in this world, there is a The invisible hand is regulating everything in the world, as well as all the goods in the world, is this... alarmist?"

   Well, have a question say a question!

  Fang Jifan said: "I think..."

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help frowning, but interrupted Fang Jifan's words: "The invisible hand... what is this invisible hand, is it more powerful than me?"

   "This... this..." Fang Jifan couldn't answer for a while, but he really wanted to say, with your IQ and knowledge, it's hard for me to explain clearly.

  Of course, Fang Jifan dared not say such things.

  Emperor Hongzhi still frowned, as if he was still puzzled by the large amount of information in the book.

  If it wasn't because Liu Wenshan was Fang Jifan's student, or he directly believed that this was Fang Jifan's thinking, I'm afraid... I didn't have time to think about this book, but the more I think about it, the more difficult it is to understand.

  Fang Jifan quickly winked at Zhu Houzhao, and the two left angrily. If they continue to question, they will definitely be exposed.

Who is to blame for this, I can only blame Liu Wenshan, that dog-like thing, with such a big brain hole, even Fang Jifan felt strange, when did Liu Wenshan figure out so many truths, this guy, who usually can't see anything, but hides it deeply Lou.

  Leaving Fengtian Temple with Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Thinking about it carefully, I still suffer a loss. It's about the jade seal."

   "Your Highness." Fang Jifan comforted Zhu Houzhao and said, "Forgive others and forgive them. A good man does not suffer immediate losses."

Zhu Houzhao shook his head, and said unwillingly: "Hmph! This is what I hate the most. Obviously we have a reason. Why should bad things be my fault, and good things... I don't have my share, whatever, no I'm wasting time, I have to hurry to the research institute, Lao Fang... this steam locomotive..."

   "It's made?" Fang Jifan's eyes lit up, and he looked surprised, it's only been half a year.

  Zhu Houzhao said with embarrassment: "It's a bit difficult, there are still a few difficulties that have not been overcome, but... I discovered that this steam engine can be used for weaving."

   "What?" Fang Jifan was speechless.

  Your uncle.

  In an instant, Fang Jifan's face turned green. Steam engine weaving...is feasible, and later generations have proved it.

But... What Fang Jifan wants are railways and trains. Why do you build this? Fang Jifan is not bragging. For eighty copper coins a day, Fang Jifan can recruit 108,000 women to weave with just a wave of his hand. , In an outrageous era with low manpower, what the **** are you playing with me on a steam loom?

  Zhu Houzhao, however, seemed very excited, and said, "You don't believe me?"

  Fang Jifan was silent.

  ………
