The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1286

[1286.Chapter 1224 Great blessings spread all over the sky]

Fu Qi Tian After Emperor Hongzhi said this, he took a sip of tea: “But… it’s still early, and the leaders of the various tribes don’t understand the rules yet. I will order the Ministry of Rites to send ritual officers first to let them

Let’s learn something.”

After Emperor Hongzhi said this, he seemed to feel relaxed after completing a big task.

I have to say that the flattery of the desert tribes is in the right place.

“After I return to Beijing, it’s time to pay tribute to my ancestors. I finally didn’t humiliate them. However… the British prince has been feeling unwell recently, eh…”

As he said that, Emperor Hongzhi sighed.

Liu Jian knelt down and sat aside, thinking: “Your Majesty… Your Majesty… When you go to Datong this time, I think you still have to be on guard. Those barbarians, if anyone harbors evil intentions, may be doomed.”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled. “How dare they have any evil intentions at this time. I have made an alliance with them with blood and an oath with broken arrows. It is too late for them to be grateful.”

Fang Jifan had a thought in his heart.

He knows it very well.

This time, since he was revered as the Heavenly Khan, it was a very glorious moment for Emperor Hongzhi.

So… according to the rules, the oath ceremony adopted by the Ming Dynasty must draw on the experience of the Tang Dynasty at that time.

Your Majesty may have to face the leaders of the various ministries alone. At least, the guards need to be dozens of feet away. If there is any problem, it will be terrible.

But… if the Emperor of Heaven does not get close to the leaders of various ministries, then… he will inevitably be ridiculed.

Fang Jifan frowned. He was a bit unfounded and worried. He had always been wary of foreigners.

It’s not that Fang Jifan has any bad intentions, it’s just that… Fang Jifan is sometimes afraid of himself, so how can he still dare to trust the aliens thousands of miles away?

But how to arrange this big gift?

If something went wrong, he would be doomed. How could he sell his house and still have a living to eat?

Fang Jifan said: “Your Majesty, the etiquette after going to Datong is the responsibility of the etiquette department, right? I hope that the etiquette department will write a charter for the whole process of the ceremony and send it to me.”

Zhang Sheng said in the palace: “There is no problem. The Ministry of Rites is still looking at the ancient books, and I think there will be drafted regulations within three to five days.”

The officials in the palace were obviously excited about it.

Your Majesty is the Khan of Heaven, so I, His Majesty’s humerus ministers, will also be famous in history in the future, becoming ‘Wei Zheng’ and ‘Changsun Wuji’.

Of course, they had their doubts.

Now that His Majesty has left this matter to Fang Jifan, it is best for everyone to cooperate as much as possible.

Fang Jifan felt a little more comfortable.

A few days later, the Ministry of Rites sent the charter.

Fang Jifan did not dare to neglect, so he hid at home, put the regulations in front of him, and studied them carefully.

He specially invited people to rehearse every process, and Wang Shouren and others were all captured.

They took the trouble to replace every role, including how to salute, where the emperor stood, where the guards should stand, and where the leaders of the ministries were.

These are all etiquette handed down from the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Hongzhi arranged this etiquette to prove that the achievements of the Ming Dynasty had directly caught up with those of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

It goes without saying that every emperor has a side that is very happy for success. Of course, as his father-in-law, he is not exempt from the custom. Even though he seems to be indifferent to everything, how can Fang Jifan know what he is thinking?

After several rehearsals, Fang Jifan couldn’t help but frown.

Because of several rituals, the leaders of these tribes were too close to His Majesty.

Wang Shouren saw what Fang Jifan was thinking: “Teacher, are you afraid that someone will do harm to Your Majesty?”

Fang Jifan said obediently: “Your Majesty entrusts this errand to my teacher, and my teacher has to bear this responsibility. This is not a joke, no If something goes wrong, everything will be peaceful.”

Wang Shouren lowered his head, looked at the charter and said, “After several rehearsals, Your Majesty may be in danger three times. Of course, these tribal leaders cannot carry weapons, but Your Majesty after all. As he gets older, even someone with bare hands may put His Majesty in a desperate situation. “

“Yes.” Fang Jifan was always well behaved in front of Wang Shouren. At least he would not reveal his Three-Character Sutra at any time. Sage Wang would always give it. Save your face, or what if you get beaten? This guy can do anything.

Fang Jifan paused and said, “I have to talk to the Ministry of Rites. These places need to be changed to keep these bitches away from Your Majesty.”

Wang Shouren thought for a while and shook his head: “Even if the Ministry of Rites is willing to change, I’m afraid that your majesty may not be willing. Master, your majesty attaches great importance to this matter. He wants to show the majesty of our Ming Dynasty, and also shows that our Ming Dynasty is as broad-minded and gentle as the Tang Dynasty. If the leaders of these tribes are isolated, Open, I’m afraid your Majesty will be unhappy.”

Fang Jifan couldn’t help but said: “Hey, that makes sense. If your Majesty really cares about people who are far away, what’s the use of relying on courtesy? One hundred thousand taels of silver will be given to the various ministries.”

Wang Shouren: “…”

You can’t change it, so how can you predict the danger?

The more Fang Jifan thought about it, the more headache he got.

At this time, the Foreign Language Academy was established.

More than 190 young people all entered the academy.

They were the first batch of people to learn the language. Zhu Houzhao personally served as the dean, and Fang Jifan obediently went to watch the ceremony. At noon, Zhu Houzhao’s excitement had not passed. Seeing Fang Jifan’s distraught appearance, he said: “Why, Are you not happy to see me become the dean?”

Fang Jifan said: “Your Highness, you have wronged me. What I am worried about now is your Majesty’s alliance.”

As he said that, he expressed his worries.

When he mentioned this, Zhu Houzhao’s eyes shone. He had always hoped that he would become the Khan of Heaven and shine for all ages. But who knew that his father would take away this good fortune? He couldn’t help but said: “This is easy to handle, then that Just let me take the place of my father and make the oath of alliance with the ministries. If anyone dares to do something evil, I will punch him and break his bones before he gets close.”

Fang Jifan: ” …”

Sure enough, His Highness the Crown Prince died in the same way.

Your Majesty cannot shoot you to death.

Fang Jifan said: “Your Majesty is the most powerful person in the Ninth Five-Year Plan. These matters should be yours.”

Zhu Houzhao put his hands behind his back and kicked his boots, looking listless: “In this case, there is nothing I can do to help.”

Just as he was talking, Wang Jinyuan came in a hurry: “His Royal Highness, Duke of Qi… there is a Tatar who wants to see you.”

Tatars…

Ordinary Tatars are not allowed to enter the customs and must have a certificate.

Fang Jifan said: “Call in.”

As he said that, Fang Jifan took out a toad mirror from his sleeve and put it on his eyes. Facing the Tatars, it was better for him to remain a little mysterious.

Zhu Houzhao was very excited when he saw Fang Jifan’s toad mirror. He waved his hand in front of Fang Jifan and said, “Yeah, I want one too.”

Fang Jifan took out another small round mirror. Zhu Houzhao wore it and couldn’t help but said, “I want one too .”

Gong has been busy with the academy and the Steam Research Institute these days. I didn’t expect that you, the boy, would actually come up with such interesting things.”

Fang Jifan ignored him.

After a while, the Tatar came in, dressed as a merchant, no different from ordinary Han people.

The Tatar bowed down and said in Chinese reluctantly: “The little Tatar leather goods merchant Zhu Renjie has met the Duke of Qi.”

Nowadays, all Tatars like to call themselves Zhu.

Fang Jifan asked: “What’s the matter with you?”

“I’m here to give you a warning. This time, various tribes gathered outside Datong City. There are many tribes involved. I heard that some people among these tribes want to plot evil.”

Fang Jifan cheered up: “Really? Is there any definite news?”

“No… I just heard it from outside the customs. I thought about it and felt something was not good, so I specially found a way to enter the customs and came here. Report. “

I’m really afraid of something.

The problem is, with so many tribes involved now, who is it that wants to do something evil?

Fang Jifan then sneered: “Ha… you are a Tatar, and you keep coming here to tell me this. I think you are harboring evil intentions. Come on, take this bitch…”

Zhu Renjie was frightened and said hurriedly : “The villain really feels that something is fishy, so he came here to report it. He has no other thoughts.” As he spoke, he said excitedly: “The villain used to be a herdsman in the tribe. Later, thanks to the great blessing of the Duke of Qi, he passed away. The businessman is engaged in the fur trade, and his life is getting better and better day by day. The villain’s clan members are also prosperous. The days in the past were too hard… The villain is afraid. If the Ming Emperor comes out of seclusion, he will go out. Whatever happened, the good days of us Tatars have come to an end, and then there will be endless wars.”

At this point, he had tears in his eyes and kowtowed: “Please give me a lesson from the Duke of Qi.”

Fang Jifan just thought .

After believing it for a while, he asked: “Are there any clues?”

“The villain makes leather goods. He mainly goes to various ministries to buy sheepskins and cowhide. He often stays in various ministries and makes friends with the shepherds. Therefore, all ministries The villain is more or less aware of any rumors among them. We, the Tatar tribe’s little people, have naturally received the favor of the Duke of Qi and are completely committed to the Duke of Qi, but there is no guarantee that there will be some former leaders. They had not been restrained before, claiming to be the descendants of so-and-so, and all they could think about was restoring the glory of their ancestors. Although they were obedient on the surface, deep down in their hearts, they refused to surrender. The Duke of Qi had to guard against it. “

There is some truth in what he said.

After the Tatars invaded, the lives of the vast majority of herdsmen were indeed much better than before. They did not want to go back to the war-torn era, plunder, or suffer any more. As we live our lives, there will always be some old nobles. At the beginning, it can be said that they wanted wind and rain, but now they are suppressed by the Ming Dynasty everywhere, and they are unwilling and dissatisfied.
