The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1128

[1128. Chapter 1077 The great grace]

With Zhang Heling’s IQ, how could he have noticed something was wrong.

Especially when he saw His Majesty holding Fang Jifan affectionately, his eyes almost dropped.

What?

But he saw Emperor Hongzhi beaming with joy.

Fang Jifan’s sentence had almost been forgotten by his son. It was really a stroke of genius.

I almost forgot, being humble, being so humble.

He did not rush to show off such a great achievement, but forgot about it.

Such far-reaching planning and layout have shown that Fang Jifan made decisions before acting. Would such a smart person forget?

of course not!

there is only one truth!

That is, Fang Jifan is a man with an open mind, a noble personality, and not greedy for merit.

There were not many people like this in the Hongzhi Dynasty.

Emperor Hongzhi continued to stare deeply at Fang Jifan, with many words stuck in his throat. He couldn’t help but said: “You have forgotten such a big thing?”

“This…” Fang Jifan said with a sly look on his face: “My son… My memory has been bad recently. No, this is just a trivial matter after all, Erchen…ah, Erchen’s head hurts a little.”

“Hahahaha…”

Emperor Hongzhi laughed.

My head hurts… This kid is starting to act weird again. Whenever his head doesn’t hurt, it’s just this time.

This guy, I didn’t expect… to be so loyal and honest. With the benefits, others came forward to bite him like a jackal, but he seemed to be afraid of having great achievements.

Emperor Hongzhi was both pleased and moved.

As expected of the queen of the Fang family, he is my son-in-law.

He pulled Fang Jifan and looked around, extremely proud: “I originally thought that Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bo were the first to conquer the Japanese. Now it seems that it turned out to be my Prince Consort. The Prince Consort takes the credit but is not proud. He can be called a model minister, and I feel relieved to have such a son-in-law.”

Even the officials who despised Fang Jifan at this moment actually stood in awe.

Isn’t this the virtue advocated by saints?

Putting aside Fang Jifan as a person, as far as matters are concerned, this guy has foresight and strategizing. He made a strategy to pacify the Japanese in the early years. He has made outstanding achievements. He did not make it public afterwards. If the conscience of the Zhang family brothers hadn’t discovered it, I’m afraid no one would ever know him. Knowing that he has deep merit and fame, His Majesty said that he is an example of a good minister, and he is not wrong at all.

All the ministers said one after another: “Fang Duwei has made great achievements, yet he is so humble, and I admire him.”

They were convinced.

Wang Shouren’s eyes filled with tears, his mentor… was unfathomable.

For countless days and nights, although Wang Shouren admired his mentor very much, he always felt that his mentor’s character was a bit strange. As a great man, he always got up at three o’clock in the morning and spoke vulgarly all the time. Wang Shouren had such suspicions because As a person who founded a sect, he always had doubts about authority. It was precisely because he always had a skeptical attitude towards authority that he created his own theory.

But… today… the truth came to light, and all the doubts were suddenly cleared up.

My mentor is so low-key. Behind all his laziness, vulgar words, and frequent angry roars, there is an indisputable heart that regards fame, fame, and wealth as nothing more than the clouds. This is the greatest virtue in the world, and Those kind of bad appearances are more like the self-defeating behavior shown by those deviant celebrities during the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

This… is a truly remarkable person. His character and knowledge can be regarded as a role model for all generations.

Tang Yin and others were even more pleased and proud. They knew that their mentor was by no means as vulgar as he seemed…

Zhu Houzhao could only be dumbfounded. At this time… he was extremely impressed and thought to himself. He said that he had misunderstood Lao Fang.

Emperor Hongzhi was so happy that he almost shed tears. He held up Fang Jifan’s hand and Fang Jifan smiled. Maybe… he really gave the Zhang brothers the tips. After all, he is a noble man who forgets things a lot and suffers from brain diseases, which is trouble. Ah, I am always forgetful, even forgetting such important things.

Emperor Hongzhi said: “Since the surrender of Emperor Taizu Gao, the Japanese pirates have been wreaking havoc, killing our people, raping their wives and daughters, and plundering their property. Relying on my kindness and a little accommodation, these thieves have taken on their ferocity and become more violent. The imperial court is gentle and obedient. People from far away originally wanted peace as the most important thing, not to cause trouble, and to adhere to the original intention of being virtuous and universal. However, they did not repent, and with each passing day, I… The Fang Qing family has worked hard to plan for the country. Thinking about what I am thinking, thinking about what I am thinking, and worrying about what I am worried about, I made a strategy in the early years, so that the boat masters from all over the world would attack the thieves’ nest, catch them unawares, and kill the enemy. Such a clever plan is amazing. He has noble character, is humble and self-reflective, and is admired by everyone in the world. I am amazed by his loyalty. “

“Congratulations, Your Majesty,” all the officials said.

Emperor Hongzhi clasped his hands behind his back and glanced at Fang Jifan with relief: “Jifan, thank you for your hard work.”

Fang Jifan shook his head: “The hard work of my son and minister is not as good as your majesty’s emergency. I can share your worries with your majesty only because of your majesty’s words and deeds. “

, This is the result of my son’s learning from your majesty, my son… even if he dies, his merits are not worth mentioning. “

Huh…

Emperor Hongzhi’s face turned red with excitement.

That makes sense.

At first, Fang Jifan was idle and had a bad reputation, but now… he has changed. What is the reason for this? Could it be that it was really the result of my words and deeds? Suddenly, Emperor Hongzhi felt that he and Fang Jifan had become extraordinarily tall.

“I have said that I will not be stingy in rewarding you for your great contribution to reassuring the people and fighting against the Japanese. I want to add the vassal to the vassal and make it the Duke of the country. What do you think?”

“Buzz…”

The civil and military officials in the court were all in an uproar.

Fang Jifan had already been granted the title of Marquis before, which was a very rare situation for him as a prince-in-law.

His father has already been made a Duke…

Now, is this Fang’s successor going to be made a Duke too?

In this way, wouldn’t it be like the Xu family, one family and two masters?

This is a special precedent for the country.

But even so, Fang Jifan’s contribution is indeed not small.

The Ming Dynasty was awarded knights for their military exploits. This victory over Japan was certainly the result of the sacrifice of the three armies, but it was absolutely inseparable from Fang Jifan’s strategic planning.

The Japanese pirates who had been wreaking havoc for a hundred years were solved by Fang Jifan at once, and it was reasonable and reasonable for him to be granted the title of Duke.

It’s just… such an honor…

Emperor Hongzhi flicked his sleeves and said seriously: “I have clearly defined rewards and punishments, so that I can set the rules and regulations. I have made my decision, and the Ministry of Rites will comply with it without delay.”

Fang Jifan’s heart… almost jumped into his throat.

Your Majesty is very generous.

It seems that… I once misunderstood His Majesty.

This good thing is coming, and no matter how noble a person is, he cannot refuse it at this moment.

After all, I have long wanted to have more children. This way, I will get another title in the future… In the future, I can also be like the Xu family, with one family and two princes, and a highly respected minister.

Fang Jifan did not hesitate: “Your Majesty… I thank you for your grace and your Majesty’s love. I am so grateful that I can’t help but want to praise, long live my emperor, long live your emperor!”

Emperor Hongzhi’s face was still filled with excitement. .

The credit is great, but with so many contributions made by Fang Jifan, his contribution to pacifying Japan is nothing.

What excited him was Fang Jifan’s humility. This child’s character made me happy.

Then, his eyes fell on the Zhang brothers.

The contribution of these two brothers is not small.

It’s just that… Shouning Hou Zhang Heling opened his mouth wide. This big mouth couldn’t be closed. He opened his eyes wide, without any expression on his face.

Zhang Yanling’s face looked… as if she had begun to wander. Hey, what is going on? Is this a dream? Who am I and where am I?

Emperor Hongzhi had a gentle look on his face: “The contribution of the two Qing family is not small. You two are my wife and brothers. How can I treat you poorly? The Qing family has worked hard. This time the Japanese are pacified, even if you are not Credit also comes with hard work. I will never treat you badly.”

Emperor Hongzhi paused, clasping his hands behind his back, showing the dignity that an emperor should have: “The Marquis of Shouning, Zhang Heling, has made great contributions to the fight against Japan. In recognition of his merits, he was given another five million gold. The reward was equal to that of his elder brother, Jianchang Bo Zhang

Yanling

.

Zhang Heling still doesn’t quite understand.

It took him a long time to react.

Damn it…

Dare to love this, this is a credit.

Zhang Yanling on the side was not stupid and blurted out: “Your Majesty… I have something to say!”

Zhang Heling suddenly shuddered and immediately interrupted him: “Your Majesty, he has nothing to say.”

Zhang Yanling: “…”

In his heart It feels aggrieved, he wants to report, he wants to expose, the credit goes to us two brothers, we are the Duke of the country.

But the brother didn’t say anything. Not only did he interrupt him, he turned his head and gave Zhang Heling a murderous look.

Zhang Yanling had no choice but to shut up.

Zhang Heling’s heart was bleeding.

Can’t say.

What he had said before was so conclusive that he had a nose and eyes. With Zhang Heling’s superb IQ, he naturally knew that once he denied it, His Majesty and the officials might not believe what he said. They just thought that the two brothers coveted this reward, so they suddenly changed their denials.

Even if you believe it, so what? If you believe it, the two of you have said so much nonsense here. Isn’t this bullying? In front of the civil and military officials of the court, he committed the crime of deceiving the king, even if His Majesty… does not blame him.

But most of this credit can only be used to pay off the crime.

Right now… there is at least one consolation prize, which is five million gold. Hmm… how much is this discount in silver?

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at the two brothers worriedly: “Wait, sir, you don’t look too good?”

“Your Majesty… I… I…” Zhang Heling felt like a lump in his throat.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: “I think you have had a bumpy journey here, eh… you have really suffered. It’s hard to come back. You have to take good care of yourself and don’t work too hard anymore. Do you understand?”

Zhang Heling cried.

Tears welled up like a tide. He lay on the ground, crying heartbreakingly. He twitched while wiping his tears: “My lord… thank you for your grace…”
