The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1287

[1287. Chapter 1225 Long Yan is delighted]

Jifan suddenly stood up and said to Zhu Houzhao: “Take this person to the palace immediately. His Royal Highness will go in person to explain the reason to His Majesty.”

Zhu Houzhao also became serious and did not dare to neglect.

So he took the Tatar to the palace to have an audience. In the evening, he came back depressed.

“How is it?” Fang Jifan waited impatiently and looked at Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao shrugged: “If there is no real evidence, of course let the factory guards continue to inquire. My father wants to save face rather than his life. He feels that this is just groundless rumors. If he does not go to Datong and make an alliance with the various tribes, it will appear that he is cowardly and will not If you dare to go, he will be the second Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Why is he so happy with his achievements? He is indeed a foolish emperor. I am not wrong.”

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao and said in his heart, aren’t you father and son of the same virtue?

Of course, Fang Jifan’s attitude towards Emperor Hongzhi is understandable.

The title of Heavenly Khan is extremely tempting to any emperor.

Comparatively speaking, the Khan on this day was even more qualified than going to Mount Tai for the Zen ceremony. Just for the Taishan Zen ceremony, I don’t know how many emperors rushed to join in the fun.

People have to pursue something, and the same goes for being an emperor.

Is it okay for you to deprive him of his little hobby?

Fang Jifan clasped his hands behind his back and said, “What else did your Majesty say?”

“Father said, let you think of a way to be on guard.”

“…”

Fang Jifan bared his teeth and muttered in his heart: “You are a fool!” He said in his mouth: “Your Majesty is really a wise man. , since you have been entrusted with such an important task, I, Fang Jifan, must do our best.”

As he said that, Fang Jifan subconsciously held the toad mirror. This toad mirror is indeed very useful. It can hide his inner thoughts so that others cannot see his heart.

Zhu Houzhao said: “Father is looking for death. It seems that there is no way to save him.”

Fang Jifan frowned: “We have to think of a way. Unfortunately, His Royal Highness cannot go in place of His Majesty…” Fang Jifan looked at him with a strange look on his face. Zhu Houzhao: “Speaking of which, His Majesty the Crown Prince, why don’t you look like His Majesty?”

Zhu Houzhao: “…”

If they look similar, it would be okay for Qiao Zhuang to change his appearance and let the Crown Prince find a way to replace Emperor Hongzhi, but …It really doesn’t look like it.

This made Fang Jifan very confused.

Zhu Houzhao lifted up Fang Jifan’s shirt: “What do you want to say?”

Fang Jifan said hurriedly: “No, no.”

Zhu Houzhao said: “I just look like my mother. Look at Zhu Zaimo, he is exactly like his father. , carved out of the same mold, I am my father’s son, Zhu Zaimo is my son, and my grandson is like a father. What do you think?”

“No, no” Fang Jifan’s neck seemed to be broken. , shaking his head like a rattle.

Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes and let go of Fang Jifan: “You mean, let someone replace the father? In this way, in the eyes of the world, the alliance between the father and the various tribes will go down in history, and at the same time, the father’s safety can be guaranteed?” “

Fang Jifan nodded: “I have this idea, but it’s a pity…”

Zhu Houzhao said: “Actually… I think Wang Shouren looks very similar.”

Fang Jifan: “…”

Not to mention, they are really similar.

Fang Jifan suddenly felt sorry for Wang Shouren’s father, Wang Hua.

Fang Jifan said: “I think it may be that Shouren has gained weight in middle age recently, and the flesh on his face has grown a little more, so that’s what he looks like. Don’t talk nonsense.”

Zhu Houzhao said: “It’s just that the nose is not as tall as my father. “

Fang Jifan: “…”

Zhu Houzhao said in surprise: “Go and call Wang Shouren.”

Fang Jifan couldn’t help but said: “Your Highness, Bo’an is my beloved disciple…”

Zhu Houzhao said with his hands behind his back: “This is a big deal. If my father is at fault, your successor will die without a burial place.”

Soon…

Wang Shouren was called to the main hall of Zhenguo Mansion.

When entering the hall.

Then he saw Zhu Houzhao wandering around him.

Zhu Houzhao looked at him with a smile and couldn’t help but clapped his hands: “Okay, okay.”

Wang Shouren: “…”

Fang Jifan clasped his hands behind his back, looking sad.

Zhu Houzhao said, “Now there is a big thing that I have to ask you to do. Do you dare?”

Wang Shouren looked at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan coughed: “Bo’an, actually, if you don’t want to do it, you don’t have to do it.”

“This involves the livelihood of tens of millions of people. In the words of you scholars, it is called the relationship between the common people of the country.” Zhu Houzhao added fuel to the fire.

Wang Shouren said calmly: “If it is a matter of family and country, how dare I not go?” Zhu Houzhao shouted: “Look, he said it himself, come, come, come…come…come…get the ruler.”

Liu Jin outside

.

He looked around and was very happy. He didn’t like Wang Shouren very much. He always felt that Wang Shouren was aloof and seemed to be discriminating against him. As a personal attendant of the dean of the institute, he carried small hammers, rulers and other things on his body. This was very As expected, Liu Jin came in with a big belly and took a ruler to show to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao took a ruler, measured Wang Shouren’s face, and murmured: “He is a little shorter, his eyebrows are a little sparse, and more importantly, his nose is a little smaller.”

“Come on, come on…” Fang Jifan also couldn’t bear it. After he stopped, he took off his toad mirror and put it on Wang Shouren’s nose.

“Hey, it’s amazing!” Zhu Houzhao danced happily.

As soon as the toad mirror was put on, half of Wang Shouren’s face was immediately covered, and Wang Shouren’s body immediately glowed with a look of calmness and dignity.

Wang Shouren: “…”

Zhu Houzhao raised his head: “Now we have work to do.” He looked like crying with joy, dancing excitedly, then patted Wang Shouren on the shoulder and said: “This time, if something really happens, you It’s a great achievement. Don’t be afraid. I will send ten or eight guards to protect you from dozens of feet away. Even if you die, you will die for the country.”

Fang Jifan wiped his sweat and said, “I believe Bo’an. Bo’an is very skilled in martial arts, and he can kill twenty-nine of them.”

“What if the opponent uses a weapon?” Zhu Houzhao scratched his head.

Fang Jifan said: “The most important thing is not the weapon, but how to exchange the civet cat for the prince, ah, no, Bo’an exchanges for the emperor.”

“Add the medicine, and if the medicine is overturned, then you will be a fool.”

Fang Jifan shuddered: “I… I won’t do it.”

Zhu Houzhao picked his nose: “There is a more terrifying question. If… no one is against Hun Jun, will we be miserable?”

Fang Jifan lowered his head. He regretted it now. Such a way of playing is too bad. Black-hearted.

Zhu Houzhao said: “Old Fang, why are you blushing? Let me guess what you are thinking. Then you will blame all the relations on Wang Shouren, right?”

“No…” Fang Jifan blinked and said seriously. : “No, a man, a real man, our successor…is not that kind of person.”

You two said one word, and I said another.

Wang Shouren stood there wearing a toad mirror. Although he was diligent in thinking, but now… his brain was a little weak.

After a long time, he took off the toad mirror: “What on earth are you going to do?”

Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao looked at each other and fell into silence. Fang Jifan said meaningfully: “Bo’an, we don’t talk about what we are going to do now. Why?” The teacher will give you a lesson first to purify your soul and let you know what loyalty, filial piety and loyalty are. “

…

At the end of the month, the mighty team set off.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed very excited about this.

Although there were merchants and warnings, the factory guards had conducted a secret investigation, but they had not heard of any conspiracy among the ministries.

Emperor Hongzhi was not worried about this.

Because there are so many imperial guards here. The Jinyi Guards and Jinwu Guards alone, as well as the accompanying Xiaoqi Battalion, number tens of thousands. Together with Datong’s border troops, they are enough to intimidate the various tribes.

The leaders of the tribes, thinking about it, were willing to obey. Now, the power of the Ming Dynasty has been extremely strong. How dare these people make mistakes.

What he was most worried about was the prince.

But this time, he learned the lesson and took the prince directly with him, so… he felt a lot more relieved.

Along the way, seeing Zhu Houzhao obediently following him around, looking inexplicably well-behaved, made Emperor Hongzhi feel a little more comforted.

It seems… only by keeping an eye on this mud monkey can I rest assured.

As for Fang Jifan, he had already gone to Datong to arrange defense.

The successor is very reassuring. He can take charge of his own affairs and does not have to worry about himself like a prince.

Zhu Houzhao almost never left Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi called him to him and asked, “Why are you so honest recently?”

Zhu Houzhao said, “Father, after the last time father taught his son, he was very unhappy at first. I was convinced, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized that this was all the good intentions of my father. When I thought that my father was always worried about my son, I felt extremely uncomfortable. I never knew the rules. I did it spontaneously, and now I have planned to start a new life, and I don’t dare to worry about my father anymore.”

Emperor Hongzhi took off his sunglasses and couldn’t help but look at Zhu Houzhao beside him, and then sighed: “You can think so, then. It couldn’t be better. I usually don’t mean to criticize you harshly, but you are a prince. As a prince, you should act like a prince. It doesn’t matter how I treat you. The most important thing is how the people in the world treat you. You, the soldiers and civilians in this world, all hope for your own well-being in the inner court. Don’t let them down, otherwise, how can you be worthy of your ancestors?”

Zhu Houzhao said sincerely: “What my father said is absolutely true. From now on, I will try my best to make less nonsense.”

“Hahahaha…” Emperor Hongzhi was greatly relieved. It was rare for father and son to say such intimate words without any quarrels or quarrels, and Zhu Houzhao was not seen going in from one ear to the other. To his great joy, Emperor Hongzhi patted Zhu Houzhao on the shoulder: “That’s what you said. Come on, come on, come on, ride in the chariot with me. I want to hear what you think of the tribes in the desert.”

Zhu Houzhao came up obediently .

Sitting opposite Emperor Hongzhi in the car, he said: “My son, I don’t have any opinion. In fact, my son is still young and doesn’t understand anything. My father has been ruling the country for decades and has a clear understanding of everything. He has already made up his mind. How can I dare to play tricks on others?” “
