The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1211

[1211. Chapter 1156 The upright Duke of Qi]

Emperor Hongzhi also frowned at this moment.

Call the 12th Regiment Battalion.

This is his grandson… the future master of the Ming Dynasty.

He wants to call someone over…so what.

But the problem is that this breaks the rules.

Without my will, you rashly announced the transfer of the capital camp and want to rebel?

Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t bear to blame Zhu Zaimo, but he rolled his eyes and glanced at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan: “…”

For a long time, Fang Jifan was dejected and said softly: “My son and ministers will die.”

It’s impossible not to accept it. If he had known this, why would he fall into the trap of the emperor’s grandson?

But at this moment, a group of young people came.

I thought it was really people from the 12th Regiment Battalion who came.

But I saw young people, each holding a spiritual tablet.

All of a sudden, there was an uproar.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned even deeper. What is this? It’s so unlucky.

Ma Wensheng was speechless. Wow, the Ministry of War has caused trouble and the coffin has been brought. The next step is to bring the coffin.

This group of young men was led by Xu Pengju. Xu Pengju held the coffin in his arms like he was holding an explosive pack. He said, “Brother, seven more coffins have been shipped outside.”

Ma Wensheng: “…”

Zhu Zai Mo pointed at these spiritual tablets and said, “Come, let this Yuan Wai Lang have a good look.”

He Jing was startled and hung her head in a hurry, not daring to look.

“These are the soldiers who have died in the past year. Some of them died of illness, but in my opinion, more of them died of starvation. Where do you think your Bing Jing and Carbon Jing come from? It’s just from They came from sucking the blood of these people. They are all young and strong. Why do they have so many diseases? Do you know why I am here today?”

He Jing’s face was pale and she felt panicked.

Although I usually have a lot of truth, I don’t feel that I have done anything wrong.

Sometimes he even thought that those dirty things did not start with him, not to mention that the ice and charcoal tributes he collected had never harmed anyone. But now, when the memorial tablet and coffin were placed, he actually felt a little guilty. It was so horrifying that I didn’t even dare to raise my eyes.

Zhu Zaimo said: “I am here to ask for salary on behalf of the capital camp. The court is in difficulty, the military department is in difficulty, and you keep saying that it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, but no matter how difficult it is, it is not as good as those soldiers. The court is in difficulty, but it is just a matter of time.” Raise fewer idle people; the Ministry of War’s difficulties are, at best, nothing more than a deficit in its account books; your difficulties are just one less chicken a day, fewer women in the house a year, and fewer sets of clothes, that’s all, the soldiers eat If you are not full, you will starve to death, it will breed resentment, and it will shake the country. Don’t you know this debt? You don’t know that you still need me, a child, to speak out.”

He Jing just lowered his head and said nothing .

A word.

Ma Wensheng hurriedly said: “Old minister, I will die.”

Zhu Zaimo said: “No matter what, money and food must be sent to each camp within a month. If there is no money and food, even if it is borrowed, it must be sent. The Ministry of War has been I’m really ashamed of Your Majesty. Fortunately, I had to clean up the Ministry of War, but now I still haven’t made any progress.”

Ma Wensheng looked ashamed. He was being taught a lesson by a child. What else could he say?

However, Huangsun pointed directly at Bing Jing and Tan Jing. At this time, if he continues to quibble, God knows what will be revealed next.

His Highness seems to know everything about the Ministry of War.

Who dares to argue with people who know everyone’s details?

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he saw that Zhu Zaimo did not continue to pester him fiercely. It turned out that he was asking for salaries for the soldiers. This…

he finally coughed.

Only then did everyone pay attention to Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi had already stood up and said to Zhu Zaimo: “Zai Mo, it’s getting late.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Zhu Zaimo nodded: “My grandson will take his junior brothers back to Xishan now.”

As he spoke, he shouted: “Evacuate.”

A group of children immediately dispersed following Zhu Zaimu’s birds and beasts.

Ma Wensheng and others were still immersed in embarrassment.

They came to pay tribute to Emperor Hongzhi one after another.

Emperor Hongzhi was still thoughtful, pointing at Ma Wensheng and others: “You guys… ah…”

sighed: “Successor… let’s go.”

What he saw and heard today made Emperor Hongzhi feel depressed, and his grandson After tearing off this fig leaf, there were some things. How could Emperor Hongzhi not know about it?

It is precisely because of the knowledge that we know how deep the water is. Over the past decades or hundreds of years, a group of people have been working together and collaborating. What can the court do? It can only turn a blind eye. These ministers, Emperor Hongzhi needs them. When I came to govern the world, I knew their shortcomings, but I had to use them and couldn’t use them.

Emperor Hongzhi came out of the Ministry of War with a very ugly face. He saw many ministers outside the court.

But Emperor Hongzhi ignored this and waited for the carriage. Emperor Hongzhi said: “Jifan, come and ride with me.”

“Oh.” Fang Jifan breathed a sigh of relief.

The matter of the Ministry of War was thoroughly investigated last time. Even the tip of the iceberg shocked Fang Jifan, but now… this boy Zhu Zaimo actually…

This little guy has a bad temper, just like himself.

No matter what, a person with a sense of justice will have worse luck than ordinary people.

For example, while walking on the street, a brick may fall from the sky and hit the person on the back of the head. Another example is when drinking water, you find that the water is mixed with venom. Or, while sleeping, he was accidentally chopped into pieces.

Of course, such a person would not be annoying.

Fang Jifan had complicated thoughts. When he got into the car, he saw Emperor Hongzhi leaning on the sofa. He rubbed his temples. When the car door was closed tightly, he suddenly laughed: “This grandson of mine is really nosy.”

Fang Jifan said : “Your Majesty, this is not meddling in other people’s business. State affairs are also the affairs of the emperor and his family, so there is no reason to ignore them. If a mouse enters my house and steals my rice, I must catch the mouse. , peel it off, take out the internal organs, wash it, remove its head, then remove its tail, put it in a frying pan, and fry it hard. Not only that, but I also use onions, ginger, garlic and other things to fry it. Put it in the oil pan and humiliate it severely.”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: “But… the emperor is the emperor of the world. Emperor Taizu Gao established a guard system and a capital camp system, with six departments and five departments. The Military Governor’s Mansion governs the world’s soldiers and horses. As He Jing said, three feet of ice cannot be frozen in a day. The emperor and grandson are still too young and have only seen the surface…”

Emperor Hongzhi looked like he had come from before.

In fact, why doesn’t he want to change?

Even the previous emperors, Emperor Chenghua, Yingzong, Xuanzong and even Emperor Wen, don’t they… don’t want to change?

It’s not that we can’t see the problem, it’s just that the water is too deep, and even though we have ambitions, we are afraid.

How many civil and military officials and people will be involved?

I’m afraid no one else has such courage except Emperor Taizu Gao.

Emperor Hongzhi no longer blamed Zhu Zaimo in his heart. Even Fang Jifan, who was instigating Zhu Zaimo behind his back, could not express his anger because he knew that what his grandson did was right.

It’s just a pity… he is still too young…

Emperor Hongzhi smiled bitterly: “One day, he will understand that as the emperor, not everything can come true. In this world, there will be countless things that even he himself can’t do anything about. It’s the same with you, Jifan.”

Fang Jifan chuckled and said, “Your Majesty.”

Emperor Hongzhi glared at Fang Jifan: “You said this, but I know that you are not telling the truth. If you have anything to say, just say it. “

Really?” Fang Jifan blinked.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

Fang Jifan said: “I believe that nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people who are willing.”

Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t help but laugh, childishly.

But… wasn’t it the same when I was their age?

Young people, young people…

Emperor Hongzhi opened the car curtain and saw the government office passing by in front of the glass window outside. He suddenly said: “Jifan, Zai Mo has been staying in the capital camp these days. What are you doing?”

Fang Jifan shook his head.

Emperor Hongzhi said: “I have become curious.”

“Your Majesty…”

Emperor Hongzhi said: “Not far from this new city, there is a guard station. If I remember clearly, it should be Yongqing Zuowei, right?

Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile: “Go and take a look. I want to see what our Ming Dynasty’s guardhouse looks like.”

“But your Majesty…” Fang Jifan was stunned

.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled brightly: “By the way, if I go, I’m afraid it will cause trouble again, why not…” He squinted: “Can you forge an imperial edict?”

Fang Jifan was so frightened that his face turned green: “No, son I swear to God that I will never forge an imperial edict. I will be loyal to you from generation to generation and have the conscience of heaven and earth.”

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly showed a look of regret: “That’s it. At the beginning, I asked you to accompany the prince to study. The prince was very quick. Then I learned how to correct imperial edicts. Later, I asked you to teach my grandson to read. My grandson’s ability to correct edicts is not as good as his father. This is very strange. They all know it, but you are innocent. “Yes.”

Fang Jifan’s face was grim: “They are self-taught and have nothing to do with Erchen. This is a family tradition. How can I learn it well? Besides, who is Erchen?” In this life, I have been pure and innocent, and followed the rules. The most important thing is that I am still afraid of death. I am a person with brain disease, Your Majesty…”

Emperor Hongzhi hurriedly pressed his hands: “Okay, okay, I I don’t mean to blame you. How could you be so scared?”

“No.” Fang Jifan said plausibly: “I think this matter must be made clear. Your Majesty goes out to find out who doesn’t know about it. , what kind of person are you? I walk upright and sit up straight. Even if someone falsely accuses me, I…”

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: “I just asked casually. If you don’t know, you won’t be fine. , I will draw up one myself.”

“Ah…” Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi in surprise, dumbfounded.
