The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1163

[1163. Chapter 1111 Your Majesty knows everything clearly]

. Emperor Hongzhi looked at these people, old and young, tall, short, fat and thin.

It’s really… neat.

It’s just… there seems to be something missing.

Emperor Hongzhi forced a smile and said: “You don’t have to be polite, please come and give me a seat.”

The crowd said: “The common people don’t dare. The common people look up to God’s grace and worship your majesty… and you have Yang Zhizhou…”

Emperor Hongzhi looked at them with a smile on his face.

These people all talked about how things have been going smoothly recently and the benefits brought by this new policy.

Yang Yiqing, sitting aside, was smiling.

Moreover, these people are well-organized and well-organized, and they can still behave politely even before they arrive at the imperial court.

The officials accompanying him all nodded and expressed their approval.

Emperor Hongzhi held the document in his hand. After listening for half an hour, he glanced at Yang Yiqing happily: “The Yang Qing family is really well managed. Countless people praise the Qing family for Bao Zheng’s rebirth. I am very pleased.” “

Your Majesty.” Yang Yiqing said, “This is your Majesty’s credit for advocating the New Deal. What does this have to do with you?”

“Yes, yes, this is all your Majesty’s credit.” The people all praised it.

Emperor Hongzhi looked around: “I have been touring here. I can see the people living and working in peace and contentment, so I can rest assured. I am tired. Come, let me take a rest first.”

He stood up.

The ministers sitting aside felt relieved.

Sure enough, this trip was not in vain.

Especially Wu Kuan’s eyes lit up when he heard that Yang Yiqing took the extra tax money to help the people.

He stroked his beard and was so mesmerized by it that he almost cheered for it.

Although Wang Ao, the Minister of Civil Affairs, had a smile on his face, there was a hint of worry on his face.

The rest of the people had different expressions, but they were all silent.

After Emperor Hongzhi stood up, Xiao Jing stepped forward to help him.

Emperor Hongzhi opened Xiao Jing’s hand and said, “Jifan, come and help me.”

Fang Jifan stepped forward, and Emperor Hongzhi took Fang Jifan’s hand.

How could Yang Yiqing dare to neglect him? He was busy leading Emperor Hongzhi to the mansion.

This mansion has been renovated a long time ago after His Majesty’s imperial tour. Although Emperor Hongzhi’s behavior is not as impressive as that of the Daming Palace, it is still exquisite.

Fang Jifan and Xiao Jing, one on the left and the other on the right, accompanied Emperor Hongzhi to rest in the middle of the journey. Emperor Hongzhi thought of something and turned back. At this time, Yang Yiqing bowed down, saluted, and respectfully sent His Majesty to sleep.

Emperor Hongzhi said: “When I arrived in Tongzhou, there was nothing here that was not orderly and the people were very good. This is the credit of the Qing family. The Qing family implemented the New Deal, which was in line with my wishes. I traveled here and wasted people and money. , It really shouldn’t be, especially for you. The ministers who are accompanying you also need to rest, so the Qing family can entertain them.”

Yang

Yiqing was excited and bowed: “I obey the order.”

In the palace, Xiao Jing was busy pouring tea for Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and remained silent.

Fang Jifan then said: “Your Majesty, please leave now. Tomorrow morning, Your Majesty will still have to walk around Tongzhou. It’s hard work. I will come tomorrow…”

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: “Wait a minute.”

Fang Jifan stopped. .

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan deeply: “Tongzhou, what do you think of Jifan?”

Fang Jifan thought for a while: “I didn’t see anything, I am very stupid.”

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: “Hey, it’s more than just that. You are stupid.”

“No, no, no.” Fang Jifan said hurriedly: “Your Majesty is wise, but I am stupid.”

Emperor Hongzhi said calmly:

“Your Majesty, you said this yourself. .

Emperor Hongzhi glared at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan chuckled and showed his true colors: “I am also afraid of responsibility. I speak upright, so please don’t take it to heart.”

Emperor Hongzhi said quietly: “I… arrived in Tongzhou, and what I saw was indeed true. It was in good order, and the people I saw were well-educated. Listening to what they played, I knew that Yang Yiqing really loved the people like a son. The other officials were also diligent in writing official documents, which were simply impeccable. But I felt that there was something. , I seem to have not seen it yet. What I want to know is more than that. If I only look at this, then… what is the meaning of this tour?”

Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi deeply.

He knew Emperor Hongzhi very well.

Emperor Hongzhi would never have said such a thing ten years ago, or even a few years ago.

Your Majesty has changed.

Fang Jifan said: “Your Majesty is right. Sure enough, your Majesty is right. Your Majesty is indeed a sage. I have been studying with Your Majesty since then…”

Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hands: “Don’t come here, I… want to be here in private.” This Tongzhou… look at it.”

“What…” Fang Jifan was stunned and asked for a private visit!

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan: “Please accompany me.”

This… is not the capital.

If there was a slight mistake, how could Fang Jifan suffer the consequences?

Tongzhou is a thoroughfare.

What is a land of thoroughfares? It means that there are people traveling from south to north, and countless people from all walks of life have gathered together. Fang Jifan… is not stupid. He just wants to survive strong, make a living for the people, sell more houses, and support more people. There are so many working people, and he never thought of doing such a risky thing.

But…

if he refuses, Your Majesty, he…

looks at Emperor Hongzhi looking at him with burning eyes.

Obviously, Fang Jifan was the son-in-law of Emperor Hongzhi. In Emperor Hongzhi’s heart, he was a trustworthy person. This was a trust. He believed that Fang Jifan would definitely do what he wanted.

If you are greedy for life, afraid of death, or afraid of getting into trouble, your Majesty must be very disappointed.

Fang Jifan looked calm, and said with a smile: “Your Majesty has this intention, and I agree with it, but… Your Majesty just wants to relax, so this is easy, but… If Eunuch Xiao goes, I will go.”

Xiao Jing was frightened .

His face changed, and he suddenly felt the urge to urinate. He knelt on the ground with a snap: “Your Majesty, slave… slave, I think it’s not allowed. This… this… something is going to happen. This is not the capital.” , if something goes wrong, what will your majesty do? This slave… I can’t bear it.”

Emperor Hongzhi’s heart dropped when he heard the words “can’t bear it.” He couldn’t help but glance at Xiao Jing, his eyes filled with disappointment: “Xiao Jing. “Banban, you have grown up with me, but you never imagined that you are no better than my son-in-law.”

Fang Jifan chuckled: “Your Majesty, I am very ashamed.”

Emperor Hongzhi looked cold: “But… I am. After thinking about it, this trip cannot be in vain. I have to go. You have to go even if you don’t want Xiao Jing.”

As he said that, Emperor Hongzhi softened his face and glanced at Fang Jifan: “I know that you are not worried, so why not, I will bring a few trustworthy guards and let them wear civilian clothes.”

Fang Jifan said with shame: “Your Majesty, I suggest that I bring my disciple Wang Shouren with me. He… is more powerful.”

Wang Shouren But an escape expert. In history, when Liu Jin chased him, he was alone and could outrun the rabbit, which was beyond the reach of those assassins.

In addition, Wang Shouren is skilled in bow and horse, and has powerful martial arts. With him around, Fang Jifan can rest assured.

“Very well, prepare quickly. This matter must be kept absolutely confidential. We will set off at dawn tomorrow.”

At

dawn the next day, Tongzhou City was still completely silent.

Emperor Hongzhi and his party were already wearing ordinary uniforms, and under Xiao Jing’s arrangement, they took advantage of the night and went out.

The entire Tongzhou City, for some unknown reason, was still silent.

Walking on the street, Emperor Hongzhi frowned deeper when he saw the coldness.

There were guards all along the way. Fortunately, Xiao Jing had the badge to do what he was ordered to do, so no one dared to make things difficult. After leaving Xingzai far away, the guards gradually became scarce.

Emperor Hongzhi found a place of confinement and then changed into regular clothes.

After being completely released from the prison, Emperor Hongzhi felt refreshed.

Fang Jifan looked left and right. Looking at this Tongzhou City, it seemed that everywhere he looked, he was thinking about it. If this place was demolished and a luxury area was planned, it would be great if there was a big theater there. .

This is a professional habit.

Because Tongzhou City has a thoroughfare, there is no city gate. Walking along the canal, gradually, some people became inhabited.

People didn’t seem to care about the arrival of His Majesty’s Majesty. Many people on the canal were already busy.

Along the canal is a stretch of low wooden houses, with no end in sight.

At this time, a light came on occasionally in a room. Not long after Emperor Hongzhi left, a cry suddenly came from a room.

Emperor Hongzhi stopped. The cry came from a woman.

Xiao Jing immediately understood His Majesty’s thoughts and wanted to go forward and inquire.

Emperor Hongzhi walked forward and said, “I’ll go take a look.”

Fang Jifan looked helpless. Your Majesty is really a curious baby.

It seems…everything is new.

Everyone knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened, and they saw a man carrying a bag, and two women, already in tears. The old woman was obviously the man’s mother, and the young one, Apparently she is his wife.

The man looked at the eight or nine people outside and was stunned for a moment.

Emperor Hongzhi didn’t know how to speak.

But it was Fang Jifan who was aroused. Fang Jifan said: “We are in business. I heard someone crying here and thought something happened.”

The man’s face softened, he shook the bag on his shoulders and saluted, “It’s just that I was about to leave.” My mother and my wife couldn’t bear to leave the housework, so nothing happened. It was so early in the morning that it made people laugh.

“Oh? Where are you going to work?”

The man looked worried at this time. , was not in the mood to answer Emperor Hongzhi’s question, and his mother and wife were still very sad at this time, so they felt that Emperor Hongzhi was rude and couldn’t help but said angrily: “I’m going to Baoding Mansion, where else can I go?”
