The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1145

[1145. Chapter 1094 The sky is falling and the earth is falling apart]

Fang Jifan was delighted, His Majesty was indeed aware of everything.

It is an honor to follow such leadership, no, Your Majesty.

Fang Jifan hurriedly said: “Well…His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really thinks that Wu Kuan is unfair to the Beijing police.” Emperor Hongzhi squinted his eyes, and then said, “Then, what do Fang Qing’s family think?”

Fang Jifan said seriously: “I don’t recognize him.

“

Wu Kuan, but… I still think that His Majesty may have his own opinions when he visits in person.”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: “There must be no mistakes in the new policy. This is indeed a big deal. You don’t recognize Wu Kuan, but I do. More than twenty years ago, Wu Kuan taught me the study of classics and principles. I am convinced of this fact that he is a gentleman. “

“Yes, yes, yes, he is a gentleman. My sons and ministers have also heard that he is a very good person. An upright person.” Fang Jifan followed Emperor Hongzhi’s words.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: “You guys are really making things difficult for me. The palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh. If I patrol Baoding and Tongzhou, it will inevitably chill the Wu Qing family. What’s more, my edict has been issued and the gold has been opened.” The mouth is covered with water and it is difficult to close it.”

Zhu Houzhao said: “If my father can understand his mistakes and correct them…”

Fang Jifan coughed desperately.

Emperor Hongzhi’s face dropped, but he glared at the two of them: “It seems that if I don’t agree, you still want to kidnap me.”

Zhu Houzhao seemed to have been told what was on his mind, and his face suddenly turned red.

Fang Jifan said hurriedly and fearfully: “My son will die, I have no such idea.”

“It’s really outrageous.” Hongzhi said angrily: “Okay, don’t say any more. I will think about this matter and consider it. .”

Zhu Houzhao seemed very unconvinced, but didn’t know what to say.

“Also, don’t make any plans or think that I can’t cure you.” Emperor Hongzhi was particularly strict.

These two guys are really rebelling. The results of the Beijing inspection have been confirmed. They want to protect private individuals, so they encourage me to go on patrol. How can inspection be so easy, even if it is just within the capital, outside the capital? It is still going to shock the world.

It can be seen that the two of them were panic-stricken, and Emperor Hongzhi softened his heart: “Even if you want to inspect, you still need to choose a good date. Let’s wait until my brother, your uncle King Xing, comes to Beijing before making a decision.”

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan said hurriedly : “My sons and ministers obey the decree.”

Part of the goal was achieved.

At least… His Majesty was relieved, which made Fang Jifan ashamed. In fact, what he was worried about was not His Majesty, but the Crown Prince. If His Majesty did not agree, Fang Jifan could not guarantee what crazy things Zhu Houzhao would do.

It’s better now, at least… I feel at ease.

Fang Jifan was busy thanking him. Just as he was about to leave the Fengtian Palace, he met someone who almost bumped into Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan couldn’t help but wonder in his heart, what dog-like thing in the deep palace dared to be so reckless.

When I took a step back and saw…it was Liu Jian.

Liu Jian seemed very uneasy. Behind him, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian were also in a hurry. When Liu Jian saw Fang Jifan, he immediately said: “Dong Qi, wait a moment. I happen to have something to report, so you can just sit in and listen.

” Seeing Liu Jian looking so nervous, Fang Jifan looked surprised.

The sky is falling?

Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to re-enter the palace. Liu Jian took a memorial and bowed down: “Your Majesty… I have something to report. Because the situation is urgent… I am very rude.”

Emperor Hongzhi had just stabilized Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan when he saw Liu Jian and the others looked heavy, thinking that it was really going on and on, so they said: “But it doesn’t matter.”

“Your Majesty, I have just received the memorials from Shouning Marquis and Jianchang Bo, and I would like to ask your Majesty to read them .

“

Emperor Hongzhi thought to himself, what tricks can these two guys, Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bo, make?

Emperor Hongzhi found it funny: “Bring it to me and have a look.”

Zhu Houzhao was full of curiosity and wanted to know what was being played in the memorial.

Only Fang Jifan looked at it calmly.

Xiao Jing took the memorial and sent it to Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi opened it and looked down.

In my heart…I suddenly felt like I was hurting a dog.

Summoning the clans from all over the world to come to the capital…

to the capital…

the two brothers wrote it with great emotion and emotion, about how the clan’s flesh and blood are separated, and how brothers, uncles and nephews cannot see each other.

There is only one meaning. The clan members have been looking forward to staying with His Majesty for a long, long time. This is a human relationship. They should all be summoned so that they can see His Majesty every now and then and bless His Majesty.

For example, there are many princes, princes, and generals in the clan who died young. Why is this? This is because they are lonely and depressed.

Not only that, they also cited some views in an article in the Qiusuo Journal, “The Theory of Heart Disease”, believing that if you lose the happiness of human relations between relatives, you will easily die early.

Emperor Hongzhi’s eyes widened when he saw it. He raised his head in surprise and was very confused.

Subconsciously, he focused on Fang Jifan: “Fang Qing’s family, what’s going on?”

This has to make people suspicious.

A few days ago, I had the idea of cutting off the vassal clan, but when I turned around, the Zhang brothers reported that if they said it had nothing to do with Fang Jifan, then there was something wrong.

Fang Jifan quickly denied it.

This is a big deal. Our successor cannot die yet, I want to remain useful, but… the Zhang brothers must have moved too fast.

A few days ago, they spent a lot of money to buy hundreds of houses. It was obvious that the current house’s increase was pretty good, which was good. They turned around and took a strong dose of medicine.

Fang Jifan thought that it would take at least a year and a half for these two guys to report. It had only been a few days…

Fang Jifan immediately said: “I wonder what your Majesty said?”

Emperor Hongzhi knocked on the slip: “Brothers Zhang, The two uncles have submitted a petition to summon the clan to the capital.”

“Yeah.” Fang Jifan was even more surprised: “Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with the ministers. The two uncles have always been prejudiced against me. “My lord, fire and water are incompatible, this is known to the world.”

Emperor Hongzhi: “…”

Liu Jian became heartbroken.

“This matter is of great importance. Since the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, discussions on clan issues have never been allowed. After that, under Emperor Wen, Emperor Wen even dealt with the clan carefully. Over the past hundred and thirty years, the imperial court has dealt with clan issues. This question can be said to be very cautious. Today…the two uncles will definitely cause an uproar. Not only the clan will be suspicious and worried, but the whole court will also be in an uproar. This is because the old minister believes that this matter is of great importance. , the person who submitted the report is not someone else, but a relative of the country. These two relatives of the country will inevitably make the outside world suspect that this… is His Majesty’s original intention… His Majesty… what the veteran meant… this matter will definitely cause huge panic. , One mistake will have disastrous consequences.”

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian obviously thought so.

As a joke, he summoned the clan members to the capital.

These clans, dozens or hundreds of princes, and hundreds of county kings, not to mention the generals who assist the country and the generals who control the country.

These are tens of thousands of people, and these are still recognized by the royal family. There are also countless peripheral relatives of these royal relatives.

Not to mention anything else, there are dozens or hundreds of princes. They not only have land, but also food, and even special guards. The in-laws they marry, even if they are not important officials of the court, are nobles or local poets and books. No one in our family is a fuel-efficient lamp.

If it were an ordinary censor, it would be fine if he wrote such a memorial. After all, no one would pay attention to it.

What Liu Jian is worried about is precisely the sensitive identities of the Zhang brothers.

Who are these two people? They are the emperor’s brothers-in-law.

Considering the personalities of these two people, would they worry about the affairs of the clan and not caring about their own affairs?

But why worry about it all of a sudden? Outside, there must be countless people who suspect that behind the two uncles, there is the emperor’s encouragement. This is simply because the emperor wants to use the Zhang brothers to express his feelings.

Once there are such doubts, those clans will definitely be in panic. They are not easy to mess with. Even if they are not capable of raising troops to fight against the imperial court, if they launch a barbaric attack, they can at least cause the world to be shattered and wars will break out. Even in the court, the officials would never think that this was appropriate.

In the eyes of hundreds of officials, the clan members stayed in their own vassals honestly and out of sight.

If you enter Beijing and suddenly countless princes, princes, generals who assist the country, and generals who control the country suddenly appear in the capital, my mother, how will you live like this?

I’m afraid that tomorrow, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture will directly sign the seal and ask for a scholar.

If a tile falls from the sky, it can kill several members of the royal family. This is simply a nightmare for the court.

Emperor Hongzhi said: “This is not my intention, and I don’t know why Shouning Hou wrote this memorial.”

Liu Jian said, dumbfounded: “Now we are riding a tiger. Your Majesty, you are in a dilemma now. If you do this, just sit back and ignore it. , rumors are bound to spread, and the clan members are even more frightened. There is no guarantee that someone will not take risks. Since the beginning of the Seven Kingdoms in the Han Dynasty, there have been many lessons learned from this, but… But if His Majesty immediately issued an order to clarify, It may not be able to eliminate the doubts of the clan and officials. They just think that His Majesty has instructed Shouning Hou to do this, but seeing that the limelight is not good, they have no choice but to immediately clarify. This will make His Majesty laugh at others and think that He is afraid of the clan. “

Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t help but touch his forehead. Liu Jian was right. He was so steady and lost his composure today because this matter… was too big.

At first, the idea of cutting down the vassalage was just an idea that came to Emperor Hongzhi’s mind, but Emperor Hongzhi had many things on his mind.

Well now, the two brothers from the Zhang family… came directly to the house to take out the ladder and cross the river to demolish the bridge. Doesn’t this mean that I have been exposed to fire and water?

Emperor Hongzhi said with a fierce face: “Why are they writing this memorial for no reason? You are relatives of the country, so they are responsible for this matter?”
