The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1346

[1346. Chapter 1279 Professional Habits]

Liu Jian sighed: “Actually, it’s not a big deal. It’s just that Fang Xiaofan actually approved the note without authorization, misappropriated three thousand taels of silver from the cabinet, and went to the workshop to place an order… She said she wanted to print some forms, three thousand Er Na, she also claimed to be from the Duke of Qi. Your Majesty…this girl is still young, so I thought…it would be better to invite her to the Ministry of Husbandry. I thought she would be able to make a difference in the Ministry of Husbandry. “

Emperor Hongzhi: “…”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

How could Fang Jifan let Fang Xiaofan do such a thing? The cabinet had a lot of money. With just such a small amount of money, three thousand taels were allocated at once. Is this… still reasonable?

It seemed that Fang Jifan was usually very strict when teaching his disciples, but he went too far towards his sister.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: “Have you discussed this matter with Li Qing’s family?”

Li Dongyang is the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, so this matter should be discussed with him.

Liu Jian shook his head: “I thought… I thought…” Liu Jian looked aggrieved: “I thought… I don’t need to discuss such a trivial matter with Binzhi.”

Emperor Hongzhi took a breath of cold air, and was surprised. Be true to your word.

He sighed: “I see, there is no need to go to the Ministry of Revenue. I will summon her in the next two days. Of course, I cannot break her heart. But such nonsense will not work, whether it is the cabinet or the Ministry of Household Affairs , They are all central, and nothing can be done carelessly. In my opinion… give her a job, lest… she gets into trouble.”

After hearing this, Liu Jian said, “I’m just afraid of the Duke of Qi…”

Emperor Hongzhi. He lowered his face and said: “How dare he!”

Liu Jian breathed a sigh of relief: “Your Majesty, this silver…”

Emperor Hongzhi felt a headache, good guy, three thousand taels are gone again.

Even if there is silver, it is not professionally made.

“The internal funds will be allocated.”

“Old minister, thank you for your grace.”

………

Sent Liu Jian off.

Emperor Hongzhi rubbed his temples.

“It’s only been a few days, but Fang Xiaofan has already caused trouble. Hey…”

Xiao Jing stood aside and said nothing.

“Why don’t you speak?”

Xiao Jing thought

for a while: “I don’t understand the cause and effect, so I don’t dare to talk nonsense.” Emperor Hongzhi glared at him: “You said what you shouldn’t say, but you didn’t dare to say what should be said. Said.

“Your Majesty…” Xiao Jing thought of his days in the desert, and the muscles on his face twitched. After all, he was not Wang Shouren. Wang Shouren liked to go there. He was a eunuch, and he had sacrificed to enter the palace. At what cost?

He smiled and said: “Your Majesty, have you ever thought about what this form is? Since County Master Fang has made an order, he must at least understand what this form is, right?”

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked: “That’s right. , I was thinking that I was squandering my money, but I actually ignored this.”

Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while: “I will go to the cabinet the day after tomorrow, and I will find out at a glance. Tell him that his sister spent three thousand taels of silver from the cabinet.”

“Understood.” Xiao Jing said cheerfully, “Your Majesty, do you want to hint to him again that he has to pay for this money?”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly. Hong said calmly: “Three thousand taels of silver, what can be compensated? If pursued, it would seem that the court is stingy. He Fang Jifan has made so many contributions, how much is he worth three thousand taels? What’s more, he is smart, even if he is not It implies that, depending on his temperament, he will take the initiative to offer compensation. “

Xiao Jing said: “But what if he doesn’t take the initiative?”

Emperor Hongzhi’s face was bruised and red, and he coughed: “You can figure it out yourself. “

Xiao Jing gave Emperor Hongzhi a deep look: “I understand what your Majesty means.”

…

The next morning, Fang Jifan hurried into the palace.

Emperor Hongzhi canceled the lecture for that day.

Fang Jifan had already learned about the matter. It was Xiao Jing who came to report the news in person early in the morning. Fang Jifan looked ashamed: “Your Majesty, I really shouldn’t have done this. How could it be… how could it be… so ridiculous.”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: “It’s okay, you don’t have to look so frightened. My child, I won’t care.”

Fang Jifan said: “Your Majesty, I brought three thousand taels of silver. I have thought about these three thousand taels of silver again and again, and I feel that… I should compensate you. Yes, we still have to pay.”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled again: “Forget it, it’s just a small matter. I have already paid this money, so you don’t need to worry about it.”

“Oh,” Fang Jifan said. The banknote was stuffed back into his arms again, and he said with shame, “My son, I’m really ashamed.”

Emperor Hongzhi looked straight at the banknote that was stuffed back into Fang Jifan’s arms.

His face was a little stiff, and finally, he turned his eyes and glared at Xiao Jing angrily.

Xiao Jing: “…”

He hinted.

Who knew Fang Jifan was so shameless.

Fang Jifan said: “My son is guilty of death. In fact, I shouldn’t use this money to humiliate Your Majesty. Your Majesty is rich all over the world. Is it the king’s land in the world? How can he care about this mere three thousand taels of silver? When he came, Xiao The father-in-law reminded him again and again that although His Majesty had provided money from the internal funds, His Majesty had made it clear that he would never accept compensation. My son was so deceived by eating lard that he still thought about asking for compensation. Now let’s take a closer look. Eunuch Xiao is right, if the family is compensated, it will make His Majesty look less generous.”

Emperor Hongzhi’s eyes widened and he couldn’t help but look at Xiao Jing.

Damn it…

you told me yesterday that you would give a hint to Fang Suifan.

Turn around and tell Fang Jifan that there is no need to compensate and you will never accept any compensation.

You are deceiving the emperor and ignoring your superiors.

Xiao Jing was trembling with fear.

Fang Jifan, you bitch, you villain, you are harming us. This is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. How dare he accept it? He immediately shouted: “Qi Guogong, you can’t talk nonsense. What I said is that you have to pay money.”

Fang Jifan: “…”

Xiao Jing said angrily: “You can’t be so unjust…”

Emperor Hongzhi was already shaking with anger.

No matter what he said, Emperor Hongzhi was furious.

This little thing can’t be handled well without talking about it.

At this time, what are you yelling about? Are you afraid that the whole world will not know that I asked my son-in-law to pay for three thousand taels of silver?

I still want to be shameless.

“You…”

Emperor Hongzhi stepped forward angrily, raised his hand, and tried to slap him down.

The hand was hanging in the air, but it was not struck down after all.

But Xiao Jing was different. He took action when he saw Emperor Hongzhi.

As a eunuch’s instinct, he groaned and closed his eyes tightly, looking as if he had been seriously injured.

But…after this…

Xiao Jing opened his eyes.

He was confused.

His Majesty did not start a fight.

I… seemed to have called a little early.

Emperor Hongzhi was convinced.

This thing… He didn’t say anything about his deception, and he didn’t say anything about the person who had lost me. Before I hit him or even removed my hand, he started howling like he was seriously injured. This shows how much thought this bitch has hidden behind him.

Xiao Jing opened his eyes wide and looked at Emperor Hongzhi with an embarrassed expression.

Emperor Hongzhi stared at him.

Eyes facing each other.

Xiao Jing watched as the anger on Emperor Hongzhi’s face grew stronger and stronger.

Bang…

this time, it’s serious.

A slap hit Xiao Jing’s face.

Xiao Jing didn’t dare to ahhh this time and silently covered his cheeks.

Emperor Hongzhi was furious: “Back off.”

Xiao Jing said hurriedly: “Slave…obey…”

“Ah!”

Upon hearing the sound of ah, Xiao Jing shuddered.

But Fang Jifan suddenly said: “I remembered it. After thinking about it, he seemed to be talking about…”

Xiao Jing: “…”

Emperor Hongzhi clasped his hands behind his back and said sternly: “That’s enough, don’t mention this matter again. Three thousand taels of silver, it’s like the sky is falling.”

Fang Jifan said with a smile: “Your Majesty is right.” Emperor Hongzhi said

with his hands behind his back, “Go to the cabinet, I can’t listen to the cabinet’s words without reason. “If Fang Xiaofan did anything wrong, I will convince her.”

Fang Jifan said with a smile, “Okay, Your Majesty.”

Fang Jifan looked loyal and honest.

Xiao Jing obediently retreated to the door of Fengtian Palace, covering his cheeks and secretly licking his wounds.

Emperor Hongzhi left the Fengtian Palace and boarded the car, while Fang Jifan and Xiao Jing had to walk.

Xiao Jing looked around furtively and said with a resentful look: “Qi Guogong, we haven’t offended you recently…”

Fang Jifan smiled and said hurriedly: “Oh, oh, I’m very sorry. I’m used to it. I’m really sorry. , Be sure to pay attention in the future.”

Xiao Jing: “…”

In the cabinet.

When the three bachelors heard that His Majesty’s Majesty had arrived, they hurriedly left the cabinet to greet him.

Emperor Hongzhi landed on the ground and looked around: “Where is Xiaofan?”

“Your Majesty, Fang Xiaofan is going to teach the scribes…”

Emperor Hongzhi said urgently: “Call her here.”

With that, Emperor Hongzhi entered the cabinet. Lift seats in the lobby.

Liu Jian and the others looked at Fang Jifan and seemed a little guilty.

Fang Jifan, on the other hand, looked cheerful: “Xiaofan is ignorant, so I let you worry.”

“It’s a trivial matter to worry about.” Xie Qian was relatively straightforward and sighed: “The main thing is… to have an impact on the cabinet…”

Just as he was talking, Fang Xiaofan came.

She came in, saluted, and said with a smile: “I have met Your Majesty.”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and waved to her: “Come, come to me. I heard that you made a form. What is this form?”

Fang Xiaofan said: “This form can make the statistical data more intuitive, but… the printing workshops are still printing, and those scribes are stupid, and many of them haven’t learned yet.”

Zhongshu Shehe, who can enter the cabinet, Scriveners are all fine people.

They were all outside, and when they heard this stupid word, they were all… speechless.

Emperor Hongzhi laughed loudly: “I don’t care, even if it is still printing, I have spent money, but I still have to hear a sound. Even if it is still printing, I have printed some. Take it, I want to see it with my own eyes.” “Is this money worth spending?”

Fang Xiaofan could only say: “Then I will show my

embarrassment?” Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Xiaofan.

Fang Xiaofan raised his head and said with a smile: “Your Majesty, haven’t the household department already calculated the amount of money and food at the end of this year to an equal amount? If that’s the case, then, my daughter alone… let’s compare it with the household department and see. Who will present the approximate number to His Majesty first? “

One person… compares it with the entire household…
