The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1218

[1218. Chapter 1163 Beat him to death]

After talking about agriculture, Emperor Hongzhi picked up the tea cup on the document, took a sip of tea, and looked at the sky outside: “It’s getting late…”

This was about to issue an order to expel guests.

When he saw Fang Jifan coming, he knew that Fang Jifan must have something to say, so he had no intention of listening to this talk.

At this time, someone said: “Your Majesty, I have something to say.”

Everyone looked and saw that it was Wu Yan, the imperial minister.

Wu Yan bowed and walked out.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: “What do you want to say about the Qing family?”

Wu Yan said: “Your Majesty, what I want to talk about is the matter of the emperor’s grandson.”

The emperor’s grandson…

the matter of the Ministry of War has been fermented in Shilin, and the discussion Very powerful.

Emperor Hongzhi said calmly: “Oh, what happened to the emperor’s grandson?”

“The emperor’s grandson is impulsive. I thought… he broke into the Ministry of War, which was really wrong.” Wu Yan said: “After this incident, people all over the world talked about it. Your Majesty …The emperor’s grandson is good. He has been gentle and smart since he was a child. I secretly believe that the root of this lies in the emperor’s grandson’s education.”

Wu Yan gave Fang Jifan a cautious look.

Fang Jifan looked at him coldly.

This made Wu Yan a little uneasy.

But in the end, the righteousness in his heart overcame his fear of the other party’s successor, and he plausibly said: “I did not mean to slander Duke Qi, but the knowledge taught to him by Duke Qi was wrong. I sincerely request your majesty to choose another good teacher for your highness. , If a gentleman wants to cultivate his body, he must first rectify his mind; if he wants to rectify his mind, he must first be sincere in his intention; if he wants to be sincere in his intention, he must first acquire knowledge; to teach and educate people, the first thing to educate is virtue. , the so-called having both ability and virtue, virtue comes first. What the saints advocate is gentleness, courtesy, frugality and concessions. This is virtue. How can we teach the emperor and his grandson to fight and kill? This fighting and killing is done by reckless men and by scholars. Young… Besides, can the emperor’s grandson’s behavior in the military department be anything like a gentleman? Now that the emperor’s grandson is still young, it is time to teach him how to cultivate virtue. Otherwise, the people of the world will inevitably be frightened and worried. Worry.”

Wu Yan said and kowtowed.

He sighed in his heart that it was really not easy. At least his tone was tactful and he didn’t say anything harsh. He just said that there was something wrong with Qi Guogong’s education methods.

If your Majesty is willing to follow the good example and choose a good teacher, you will have done a great thing for the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Hongzhi still had a smile on his face, but his smile became colder and colder. He put his hand on the document and said, “Oh, I understand.”

“May I ask your Majesty…” Wu Yan was like a monk with two feet, confused, not knowing what your Majesty meant. Now that I know what it means, I can’t help but ask.

Emperor Hongzhi said slowly: “Fang Qing’s family, you are here too, what do you think?”

Fang Jifan felt aggrieved and had done evil for half his life, but there are still people who have the guts to scold him in person for his education problems. Is it because you are too kind? It’s still you Hanlin who are drifting away.

Fang Jifan said: “My son, I have nothing to say. If your Majesty chooses another wise man, this year’s tuition fees will not be refunded.” All

the officials in the hall were dumbfounded at first.

At first, they admired Wu Yan’s courage.

Mr. Wu really speaks out for justice, which is amazing.

But… Fang Jifan, what the hell is this? Is tuition important?

On the other side, the disciples and grandsons of the Academy of Sciences couldn’t help laughing at first, but then their hearts shivered and they stopped smiling.

Master is really amazing. On the surface, he is talking about tuition fees, but in fact, he is very light. He uses this tuition fee to show that his mentor does not care about other people’s questions. Master’s knowledge is not only profound and profound, but also his ability to adapt to the situation is also profound. Unfathomable.

Academicians of the Academy of Sciences, are you all gearing up now to scold our master? What do you want to do, smash the sign?

It should be noted that in any era, the sects are all one. Only if your mentor is great will others think highly of you. If you are as powerful as your ancestor, it is called a famous sect. Disciples and disciples carry the sedan chair for the ancestor, which is to promote yourself. The higher the patriarch stands, the greater his power. Only then will his disciples and grandchildren have a good life in the future.

For example, if you want to be an official, your boss is your senior brother, and several other yamen are also your senior brothers, and your ancestor is in a high position and has high morals and prestige. Then, even if you don’t make progress, even if you can’t Although you are rising rapidly, you don’t have to worry, someone dares to deliberately suppress you.

My mentor Wang Shouren and my uncle Tang Yin have weird tempers and extremely arrogant temperaments. Are such people suitable for officialdom? Not to mention the officialdom, whether it’s in a shopping mall or a factory, I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive.

But so what, they scolded their superiors for going their own way, never clinging to any high-ranking officials, and never joining in the fun of their colleagues. It’s not the same now, they are rising through the ranks?

The academicians were staring at Wu Yan, and if the emperor hadn’t been there, they would have taken action.

When Wu Yan heard the word “tuition fee”, he was really angry and funny. He couldn’t help but said: “Your Majesty… Your Majesty…”

When he said this, Emperor Hongzhi’s eyes suddenly opened, and fire spewed out of his eyes, and he screamed sternly. “That’s enough!”

Wu Yan was stunned. He didn’t expect that His Majesty would suddenly become so angry.

Before he could react, Emperor Hongzhi pointed his finger at him: “Get out of here!”

Wu Yan became a little scared and quickly prostrated: “Your Majesty, I will die.”

When other officials saw this, they were stunned and also Prostrated: “Your Majesty, why…”

“What does my grandson have to do with you, a mere scholar of the Imperial Academy? What qualifications do you have to make irresponsible remarks about my family affairs?”

Wu Yan almost lost his temper.

This is what I said…

Emperor Hongzhi clasped his hands behind his back and gritted his teeth: “I like my grandson very much. Fang Qing’s family taught him knowledge, and I feel relieved. If I choose another good teacher, should I choose someone like you?”

Wu Yan heard this , his vision went dark, and he almost fainted. This sentence is really heartbreaking.

His Majesty usually has a surprisingly good temper, but he never expected that he would say such vicious words.

All the Hanlin officials were startled and fell silent.

Emperor Hongzhi sneered: “Whether it is right or wrong, my heart is like a clear mirror. I will not tolerate you confusing right and wrong here. Get out of here. Get out of here.”

Wu Yan’s face was as pale as paper. Hearing the hidden words from Emperor Hongzhi’s mouth, Murderous, frightened and sweating, he hurriedly stood up: “I… take leave.”

Other Hanlin also left dejectedly.

Emperor Hongzhi rolled his sleeves and glanced at the academicians: “My lords, I am tired, please leave.”

Zhang Xin and others felt happy when they saw his majesty reprimanding Wu Yan, and they all saluted and left.

Emperor Hongzhi finally said: “Jifan, you stay.”

Fang Jifan did not leave.

Wait until everyone is gone.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at him: “It’s a coincidence that you came here today. When you arrived in front of the emperor, someone came to sue you.”

Fang Jifan said aggrievedly: “Your Majesty, I… I try my best, and there is not a day when I am not loyal. Geng Geng, serve my Ming Dynasty, share your Majesty’s worries, and teach the emperor and grandson by words and deeds. Unexpectedly, they would insult my son and ministers like this. I, my sons and ministers… also have self-respect, just like a loyal woman who is insulted. At this time, all thoughts are lost. Please your Majesty…”

Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hands. He doubted whether Fang Jifan was a loyal woman, but he still said gently: “Stop talking about these gossips, it is useless to talk too much. Why are you here?”

“Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince ?

“A few days ago, I took a lot of money from my son…”

At this point, Emperor Hongzhi’s expression became unpredictable: “I don’t know anything about this matter,”

Fang Jifan said sincerely. “I know that your Majesty does not know about it, and I am not asking for debts. What I mean is that Your Highness took the money and went to study the steam engine. Now, some results have been achieved. I sincerely ask your Majesty to take a look. .”

As he spoke, he took out a report on the steam engine ship that he had already prepared in his sleeve.

A eunuch got off the Jinluan, received the report, and sent it to Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi felt much more at ease. He sat down, opened the report, and read it carefully.

…………

A group of Hanlin officials are like mourning an heir.

This time, I was really sad.

Your Majesty’s behavior is no different from that of a coward. Hanlin is a pure person who speaks uprightly. His Majesty actually utters such evil words and is so sarcastic. This… is really heartbreaking.

When Wu Yan walked out of the Meridian Gate, his face was filled with tears. He clenched his hands into fists and bit his lips hard to prevent himself from crying loudly.

I said something wrong.

I am Wei Zheng, Bigan.

Your Majesty cannot follow what is good and what is good is like cutting off the road of speech.

The other Hanlin officials also seemed to realize that their right to speak was gradually losing. They were all dejected, like cocks defeated in a fight.

Suddenly, someone whispered: “Mr. Wu, forget it…hey…”

After Wu Yan heard this, there was an unknown fire rising in his heart. He said sternly: “Forget it, forget it.” Damn it, my Ming Dynasty is over, God, why is your Majesty like this? Your Majesty is still like this, so what will happen to the common people? He said that he wanted to beat people, so he rushed into the Ministry of War and beat up the imperial officials. If there is anyone, he will succeed. Beating him like this will make him feel pain!”

Hearing the words Fang Jifan.

The group of academicians who slowly came out of the Meridian Gate seemed to be in a panic.

This is our master.

Zhang Xin stood up and said sternly: “You bitch, who are you scolding?”

This is not to blame for Zhang Xin’s rudeness. He has been farming for ten years and dealing with farmers all day long, and he is not elegant at all.

The officials went crazy, especially Wu Yan. A group of people came up like a tide and pointed at Zhang Xin. Wu Yan was extremely angry. What he suffered today was a great shame and humiliation. He sneered and said solemnly: “I’m just scolding you.” Duke of Qi, can’t you scold him? Is he the emperor? What, how do you treat him? Although Duke of Qi is favored by your majesty today, he needs to know that if he is in Hedong and Hexi the next day, he will not die.

” The last sentence, the most vicious, is what Confucius said to Zilu, meaning that he had a strong temper and would die a bad death sooner or later.

All the Hanlin officials were shocked and applauded him. Mr. Wu was really a man of his temper.

The academicians did not hear the meaning of “death is not a good death”, but they also generally knew that it was definitely not a good word.

After all, in citing classics, academicians are like weaklings compared with Hanlin officials.

Zhang Xin suppressed his face and glared at Wu Yan. He was thinking of how to refute Wu Yan.

But at this moment, among a group of academicians, someone suddenly said: “This bitch bullies people too much, beat him to death!”

A group of academicians who were still scratching their heads and thinking about how to retort suddenly realized, yes, beat him to death !

.

You know…

none of the academicians are good.

This agricultural academician deals with farmers all day long.

Those who study engineering are those who have worked in a workshop.

As for astronomy, it is more like holding a compass and walking through the rivers and lakes.

If there is engineering, it is even more amazing. The work on the construction site is commonly known as the small contractor.

The group of people suddenly seemed to explode.

I can’t stand these guys anymore. The most important thing is that they insult my master.

A group of people clenched their fists and rushed forward.

Among the crowd, Engineering Academician Wang Ye took out the wrench he carried with him from his sleeve.

“You…you…what…are you going to do?”

The Hanlin officials suddenly exploded.

Seeing that Wu Yan was surrounded by water, the other Hanlin officials were stunned. Their expressions changed drastically, and they ran away with their heads in their hands!
