The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1175

[1175. Chapter 1121 Long Yan is furious]

. There were three shouts of long live outside.

But inside…

there was no sound.

It seems that Emperor Hongzhi has not the slightest interest in people outside.

It’s just…all the ministers held their breath.

Creak… creak…

what is this sound?

Finally…

someone couldn’t help it anymore.

Then Wu Kuan said: “Your Majesty, I and others…respectfully welcome your Majesty.”

Still no movement.

People kneeling on the ground, you look at me, I look at you, looking at each other.

What’s going on?

What’s the sound inside?

Why didn’t your Majesty say a word?

Nothing will happen inside…

Wang Ao’s forehead was dripping with cold sweat. He couldn’t stand or sit for a while.

“Come in.” Emperor Hongzhi’s voice finally sounded again.

Everyone let out a long sigh of relief.

Everyone filed in.

Wang Ao walked in the front, but as soon as he entered the workshop, he saw a familiar figure from behind.

Emperor Hongzhi turned his back to him, but he stepped on the logs skillfully, holding a long saw, and kept cutting the wood.

Pieces of wood were scattered on the ground.

Emperor Hongzhi was sweating profusely. Because the Confucian cedar was too wide for workmanship, he wore a short shirt. He was no different from an ordinary craftsman.

All of a sudden, Wang Ao’s tears flowed out.

This is who asked Your Majesty to saw wood here.

This is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the son of a rich man. He cannot sit down in the hall, how can your majesty… how can he…

“Your majesty…” Wang Ao choked with sobs and knelt down again.

Others prostrated themselves.

Emperor Hongzhi sawed half of the wood and frowned slightly. He concentrated on it, took a ruler and measured it to make sure there was no deviation in size. Then, he stepped on the half-sawed wood, and the remaining half of the wood became brittle. The raw one broke and fell to the ground.

“Don’t make any noise. The order is urgent. The goods will be sent out in the evening. Please let me finish the work.”

“This…”

The ministers were speechless.

They think…is His Majesty…also suffering from a brain disease?

Oops… Fang Jifan’s stupid brain disease is actually contagious, I should have told you earlier!

Emperor Hongzhi was not distracted and said, “Let the others come in and get things done quickly. The order is a big deal and cannot be careless.”

“…”

Fang Jifan and others filed in.

These craftsmen are used to Mr. Zhu, but now that he is the emperor, they dare not show off their arrogance.

Emperor Hongzhi greeted them: “It’s time to work.”

Everyone returned to their workstations, painting, punching and milling. For a while, this small workshop was making a ping-pong sound.

Fang Jifan stood there, not knowing which station he should go to. In fact… he suddenly found that he seemed… unfamiliar with his business.

Compared with the busy work in this workshop, the ministers still dare not express their enthusiasm. They feel that His Majesty seems to be a little different from before.

Looking at the figure from behind, holding the saw skillfully and cutting off the pieces of wood, everyone… felt shocked, and some… couldn’t understand.

Hey…

suddenly… Emperor Hongzhi’s hand stopped, and everyone looked up and focused on him.

Emperor Hongzhi put down the saw and stretched out his palm, but accidentally, the saw cut his finger. The wound was not deep and blood rolled out.

The ministers were stunned and felt that they could no longer breathe.

“Your Majesty… Your Majesty… is injured. Come, hurry up… please invite the imperial doctor who is accompanying you, the imperial doctor…”

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: “No need, it’s just a minor injury.”

As he said that, he casually raised his fingers He put the head into his mouth, sucked it in, and the blood disappeared.

“Just put some medicine on it later and it will be fine.”

Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t help but stretch his waist, and then turned around and looked at the row of ministers kneeling on the ground. Fang Jifan was also kneeling among them… This guy…

Emperor Hongzhi was speechless. Which side was he from? Why did he seem to be hiding wherever he was free? This was not a brain disease, he was obviously too smart.

Emperor Hongzhi said: “Jifan.”

“Yes.” Fang Jifan was a little unsure, as if… this… was a bit unruly.

But… our successor must remain useful and serve thousands of people…

Emperor Hongzhi said: “Get up and stand on the other side.”

“Oh.” Fang Jifan stood up and stood obediently behind Emperor Hongzhi. The craftsmen at other workstations did not dare to stop their hands. Fang Jifan pretended to pick up the saw that Emperor Hongzhi had just grabbed, and held it horizontally in the air, quite a bit. They look like working people.

Emperor Hongzhi clasped his hands behind his back and looked at these hundreds of officials. These were all his humerus ministers. When he met them in Fengtian Hall, his mood was completely different from when he met them in this workshop.

Emperor Hongzhi’s eyes fell on Wu Kuan, with a smile on his lips: “Wu Qing’s family, what’s wrong with your face?”

This was what Wu Kuan was waiting for.

The blood on his face had dried up long ago, but he was reluctant to wipe it off because he wanted to impeach Ouyang Zhi.

“Your Majesty…” Wu Kuan raised his voice with tears streaming down his face: “Ouyang Zhi… Ouyang Zhi… he did it… with an ink stone. Ouyang Zhi, a prefect, acted so boldly. Your Majesty, if I hadn’t avoided it at the beginning, Open the key, now…I can no longer see your majesty, your majesty…Ouyang Zhi has the audacity to beat Shangguan, and even commit murder. This…is…a crime of ten thousand deaths. I beg your majesty…to make the decision for me!

” , Wu Kuan sobbed and kowtowed.

All the ministers were silent.

What Wu Kuan accused was a serious crime, and Ouyang Zhi… was finished.

It’s a pity that a good young man is like this…

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows: “How did he hit you?”

Wu Kuan said: “With an inkstone.”

“Inkstone?”

“How many inches of inkstone?”

Wu Kuan stretched his neck, eagerly between, indescribable.

Emperor Hongzhi said: “Bring the inkstone.”

After a while, Xiao Jing brought the inkstone. Emperor Hongzhi had no expression on his face and was obviously furious.

Wu Kuan felt confident, thinking that his great revenge would finally be avenged, and God was wise.

Emperor Hongzhi grabbed the inkstone: “How does it compare to this inkstone?”

Wu Kuan stretched his neck and looked at it: “It’s almost…”

Emperor Hongzhi said: “How did you smash it?”

Wu Kuan gently touched his forehead with his hand: “Just like this, I smashed this place. Your Majesty… I… I really… almost couldn’t see you anymore. Back then… I was in the East Palace to serve your Majesty… I… I am Wanwan…”

He He talked about the friendship between himself and Emperor Hongzhi at the beginning, which was really a good time. Of course, he knew that His Majesty was a person who valued affection, and only by touching His Majesty could he take revenge.

He wanted Ouyang Zhi to be ruined and die without a burial place.

Others all felt sorry for Ouyang Zhi. At this point…Ouyang Zhi…had gone too far after all…

but at this moment…Emperor Hongzhi played with the inkstone in his hand, and suddenly…

the inkstone in his hand came out.

The inkstone flew towards Wu Kuan’s forehead very quickly.

It just so happened that it was the wound.

Wu Kuan suddenly felt a…familiar feeling.

Snap…

the inkstone hit my forehead hard.

Sure enough… it’s very familiar…

Wu Kuan suddenly felt his head sinking, hitting an old injury without any bias, and severe pain spread throughout his body in an instant.

He let out a pig-killing cry.

Blood… dripped down.

It wasn’t just his body that hurt, but his heart. His heart seemed to be torn apart.

His body was shaking, and he covered the wound with his hand. There was blood again, blood on one hand.

“Your Majesty…” Wu Kuan made a sad and angry voice.

“Your Majesty…” The officials were shocked.

Your Majesty…How could your Majesty…

Wu Shilang, he once taught His Majesty the meaning of scriptures. Although he did not have the name of master and disciple, he was actually master and disciple.

What’s more… he is a minister. How could your Majesty humiliate a minister like this and beat him like this?

This is something only a foolish king would do.

Everyone was heartbroken.

When someone carefully glanced at Emperor Hongzhi, they found that Emperor Hongzhi’s face did not show any shame, but it was like ice that would never melt for thousands of years. His face was particularly terrifying, and in his eyes, a flash of light flashed across his face. Murderous intent.

“Is it smashed like this?” Emperor Hongzhi asked sharply.

Wu Kuan bowed down. He couldn’t understand what happened. Suddenly, he became frightened. He felt fear for the first time. He prostrated on the ground and let the blood on his forehead drip on the ground.

He trembled all over: “Yes… yes…”

Emperor Hongzhi laughed: “Then, which one is better, me or Ouyang Qing’s family?”

Insult… This is an insult.

Your Majesty, how can you treat your ministers as prostitutes?

Wu Kuan was extremely sad and angry: “Your Majesty… Your Majesty’s doing this is an insult…”

“I just want to insult you!” Emperor Hongzhi responded impatiently before he could speak: “If I didn’t insult you, if I didn’t follow the example of Ouyang Qing’s family and beat you Wu Kuan to death, how could I be right? How can the countless people in Tongzhou who are separated from their wives and children survive? How can they cope with the refugees who are suffering from hunger and cold? How can they cope with the common people in Baoding Prefecture who use their own hands to provide for themselves with food and clothing? “

“…”

Everyone was confused? .

They could not understand what Emperor Hongzhi said.

At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi was filled with overwhelming anger: “You have a salary and a salary, and the people are rich and anointed. I trust you and appoint you as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. This is such an important responsibility. I will monitor all the officials in the capital and make the wise people available to me.” , it is also your duty to get rid of the stupid and incompetent, but…what have you done? What have you done with my salary?”

Wu Kuan was shaking in pain and could not lift his head after being scolded by Emperor Hongzhi. At this time… he was a little dissatisfied: “Your Majesty… must have been bewitched by the treacherous minister. I… I have always been loyal to the public and defend myself, and I have nothing to do with my sleeves…”

“Treacherous minister, where is the treacherous minister?” Emperor Hongzhi pressed forward step by step.

Wu Kuan took a deep breath. He didn’t know where he came from. He raised his head and looked past Emperor Hongzhi and fell on Fang Jifan.

At this point…

fight!

From between his teeth, Wu Kuan drilled out three long-lost words: “Fang…Ji…Fan!”

…

Originally I wanted to go to bed early, but if I think about it carefully, if I fall asleep at this time, Everyone scolded again, and so on!
