The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1251

[1251. Chapter 1193 You won’t believe it even if I say it.]

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang stared at each other with big eyes.

After being silent for a long time, Liu Jiandao asked: “Is there any evidence for this matter in ancient times?”

This was to ask Li Dongyang whether similar things had happened in ancient times.

Confucian officials pay great attention to historical experience.

Now this matter is so speechless. If you think about it carefully, how to deal with it must have a basis.

Li Dongyang shook his head: “No.”

Yes, the thing about resurrection from the dead…

“But…” Li Dongyang had a thought in his mind: “There is something similar.”

“Huh?” Liu Jian’s mind was a little confused.

He wanted to go back and read a book.

Li Dongyang pondered for a while: “During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Ling was ordered to attack the Xiongnu, but unfortunately he was defeated and surrounded. At that time, the news reached Chang’an. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty followed the advice of many people and thought that Li Ling served his relatives with filial piety and had trust with the scholars. With the heart of serving the country, he will definitely die to serve the country and will never be greedy for life. Therefore, everyone thought that he died in the battle. The emperor even personally issued an order to support his family. Later… I found out that Li Ling was still alive… …”

Liu Jian fell silent.

He felt that Li Dongyang was here to cause trouble.

He knew this allusion.

Later, everyone discovered that Li Ling was still alive and had surrendered to the Huns.

As a result, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and the Li Ling clan was destroyed.

The people who vowed to defend Li Ling were all convicted.

What everyone is talking about now is that Fang Jinglong came back from the dead. Why are you raising this issue with Li Ling?

“What should we do now?” Liu Jian interrupted the allusion wisely and continued to ask.

He knew that Li Dongyang was scheming.

Li Dongyang pondered for a long time and shook his head.

“Hey…” Liu Jian couldn’t help but smile bitterly: “Why are you still alive?”

Everyone has accepted that you are dead. So much preparation work has been done for your death, but you are suddenly alive, worthy of the hard work of so many departments. ?

Of course, the thought was fleeting.

After Liu Jian was silent for a moment, he said: “It’s good to be alive, it’s good to be alive.”

He then said: “You should go to see your Majesty. For such a big matter, you should ask your Majesty for your judgment.”

“But now, if you rush into the East Wing Hall, you will only I’m afraid…”

“When has the time come, to obey the authority when the matter is urgent?”

Li Dongyang thinks it makes sense, yes, to obey the authority when the matter is urgent, it has already reached this point, is it right to make a mistake?

He and Liu Jian winked, and they hurried towards the east side hall.

This frightened the other eunuchs and imperial guards, and someone whispered: “Mr. Liu, don’t be disrespectful, don’t be disrespectful.”

But who dared to stop the chief assistant bachelor of the cabinet and the cabinet bachelor.

The two of them had rushed into the palace recklessly.

But at this time, the ceremony officer was still reciting a long sacrificial inscription, and Emperor Hongzhi stood in the palace, his eyes slightly red.

Fang Jifan cried softly.

Zhu Houzhao drooped his head.

Liu Jiandao: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty…”

He spoke.

The ceremony officer seemed to have seen a ghost.

I can no longer read this memorial text.

Emperor Hongzhi looked back at Liu Jian and Li Dongyang with a surprised expression.

Immediately, he frowned and Long Yan was furious!

On such an occasion, so recklessly, this is a heroic spirit coming.

If it’s a living person, no matter how they collide, as long as the living person doesn’t care, it’s fine. Even if they stroke their beard, it doesn’t matter.

But what is the occasion now?

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jian and Li Dongyang with a sullen face.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang just smiled bitterly in their hearts. Of course they knew the consequences. They prostrated themselves: “Your Majesty, I… must hurry up…”

Emperor Hongzhi interrupted him rudely: “The sky should not fall at this time. You are so anxious, I am here to ask you, has the sky fallen?”

Liu Jian kowtowed hurriedly: “The sky has not fallen…”

“In that case…”

Li Dongyang stepped up and said from the side: “But your Majesty… People live. “

People… live.

In the east side hall, there was silence for a while.

Everyone looked at Li Dongyang in astonishment.

People…alive?

Fang Jifan’s sobs also stopped abruptly. He raised his head with a look of astonishment on his face: “Who…is alive?”

Liu Jian looked embarrassed: “Your Highness the Prince of Xinjin…”

Huh…

gasps came from the hall. the sound of.

Emperor Hongzhi felt even more chilly on his back.

ghost?

Have they seen a ghost?

Liu Jian hurriedly took out the sheepskin scroll and stepped forward: “Your Majesty, please see, this is the express message sent to Huangjinzhou.”

Then, the sheepskin scroll was delivered to Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi’s hands trembled, and he took it with a dull expression, opened it… took a breath, then raised his head, his eyes were blank for a long time: “Ah… how strange!”

“…”

Fang Jifan was confused: “Your Majesty…”

Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hands: “Don’t speak yet.”

Emperor Hongzhi took the sheepskin scroll and looked back at Fang Jinglong’s throne.

Then, he frowned: “Liu Qing, what do you think?”

Liu Jian smiled bitterly: “I don’t know.”

This is the truth.

Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back and began to pace in the palace.

In the distance, British Duke Zhang Mao and the etiquette officials were frightened.

Today, the sacrificial rules are completely broken. This is a sign of destruction.

Emperor Hongzhi stopped, raised his head, and suddenly said: “Jifan, come here.”

Fang Jifan wiped his tears: “Your Majesty…”

Emperor Hongzhi said: “Your father is still alive.”

Fang Jifan opened his mouth as big as an egg.

Emperor Hongzhi forced a smile: “This is a great event, a great joy. No matter how you say it, it is good for people to live.”

Everyone was shocked.

Emperor Hongzhi handed the parchment to Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan took it. He was dubious at first, but when he looked at it seriously, he suddenly understood everything, so… Shale: “As expected, haha… haha…”

He laughed loudly. Shake the rubble!

With this smile, all the officials outside were so frightened that their expressions changed.

Damn it, isn’t this Fang Jifan’s voice?

Is this piece of shit still human?

His father is dead and he can still laugh.

………

Emperor Hongzhi was happy for a moment, and then speechless again.

He looked at all the ceremony officials with a confused look on his face, at the incense and the heavy crown robes on his body.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t help

but said: “This can be regarded as a crime of deceiving the emperor.” “No!” Fang Jifan was anxious: “Your Majesty, you have to speak with your conscience. The report over there is that he was hit by more than thirty knives. I have always said that my father is a good person, and he is definitely not a short-lived person. His Majesty insisted that my father is dead and passed away. I think that even if he is deceiving the king, he is also deceiving himself. “

I encountered it .

As a matter of principle, Fang Jifan is not stupid. It is not his own fault, so why should he admit it?

Emperor Hongzhi’s face became a little more relaxed: “It seems… that’s the case.” Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief: “But…”

Now he suddenly felt… he was riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off: “What should we do here? Will the sacrifice still be carried out? ?”

He looked at Zhang Mao in the distance.

Zhang Mao: “…” “

Your Majesty…” Liu Jian said immediately: “I think that the sacrifices can no longer be carried out. How can there be sacrifices for the surviving people.”

“Then…” Emperor Hongzhi rubbed his hands in pain. Rubbing his temples: “But we’re already nearly halfway through.”

“That’s alright!” Emperor Hongzhi rolled his sleeves and suddenly burst into laughter: “Haha… It’s good to be alive, it’s good to be alive, well, let’s go, let’s go, move to Fengtian immediately Palace, what’s going on here… Zhang Qing’s family.”

Zhang Mao was still in shock and couldn’t calm down for a long time. He bowed: “I’m here, old minister.”

Emperor Hongzhi said: “Here, you come to deal with the aftermath and continue to perform sacrifices. Yes, you can choose one by yourself, and sacrifice to whomever you like.”

Zhang Mao: “…” It took him a long time to come back to his senses: “I obey the order.”

Emperor Hongzhi looked around and said, “Get off and come back. Palace!”

Fang Jifan was happy and looked at the parchment in his hand with pleasure.

I have long said that my father will definitely not die. I, the young Zhuge Fang, will succeed to the vassal clan. How can I have wasted my fame?

In the blink of an eye, the gloom in Fang Jifan’s heart suddenly disappeared, and he said with joy, “Your Majesty, I am here to serve you.”

As he said that, he caught up with him in a few steps.

The officials outside were talking a lot and whispering to each other.

But at this moment, in the East Wing Hall, Emperor Hongzhi, surrounded by Zhu Houzhao, Fang Jifan and others, walked out quickly without saying anything, and went straight out of the Ancestral Temple without a trace.

Everyone stood there dumbfounded, dumbfounded.

Most of the guards and eunuchs were gone immediately.

It’s not the case if the ministers leave, it’s not the case if they don’t leave.

Soon, there was gossip.

Prince Xinjin… was still alive…

Suddenly, all the ministers were in an uproar.

Damn it, why didn’t you tell me earlier if you weren’t dead?

The entire Ancestral Temple was almost exploded.

Liang Chu almost stomped his feet: “I also gave the Fang family a gift.”

“I also went along with it.”

“Now that the person is alive, will the gift money be refunded?”

There was silence again.

The answer lies within the heart.

………

In the east side hall.

The sacrifice continues.

Fang Jinglong’s throne has been withdrawn.

Since we can’t offer sacrifices to Fang Jinglong, let’s offer sacrifices to other honorable ministers in the East Wing Hall.

The ceremony officer quickly took out a new sacrificial inscription. Fang Jinglong was new here. His sacrificial inscription needed someone to write it, but other sages in the East Wing Hall had it ready-made.

The sacrificial words were recited, followed by food offerings, then burning, burning incense and praying, not to mention.

It’s just that… today’s sacrifice is a little different.

The chief priest, Zhang Mao, could not help laughing from time to time while listening to the memorial text, and suddenly burst into laughter.

So, he was busy covering his mouth.

The other ceremony officials changed their solemn tone and couldn’t help but laugh too.

“Zhuang Su, Zhuang Su!” Zhang Mao coughed: “Don’t laugh, don’t laugh.”

Everyone tensed up.

Zhang Mao suddenly held his stomach: “No way, haha…haha…” He wanted to laugh again, but felt that his sign was ruined, and wanted to cry. This crying and laughing scene left the etiquette officials speechless for a moment, so they had to say Waiting quietly for Zhang Mao.

Zhang Mao finally calmed down his emotions, wiped his eyes, and made his eyes red. He tried hard to make his voice choked up, and said in a deep voice: “Ancestors, don’t blame, don’t blame…” He said in his mouth, but in his heart But I couldn’t help but think about…how it would end.

………
