The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1362

[1362. Chapter 1294 My Emperor’s Holy Ming]

Sure enough, it’s as expected.

Emperor Hongzhi said: “The mission of the New Deal is of great importance. It must be done by people who are familiar with the New Deal and have some understanding of the New Deal and the New Learning. You are all my humerus and the pillars of the country. I think this is yours.” Expertise. I usually see all the ministers concerned about the country and the people. Now in this poor and remote place, the people do not know what the New Deal is and live in poverty. If this continues, it will not be successful. Please draw up a list and invite these ministers. Work hard and serve as patrol officers to study in Yunnan, Guizhou, Jiaozhi, Hexi, Liaodong and other places. “

“…”

Retain their official positions in Beijing and go on study tours as imperial envoys.

This is a good idea.

On the one hand, these people are idle in the capital anyway, so let them go to Yungui, Jiaozhi, Hexi, and Liaodong. In many places there, transportation is cut off and education is difficult. They are the backbone of the imperial court. Let them go ,It could not be better.

As a result, there are fewer Jiji Waiwai in Beijing. After all, they go there with advanced experience. If there are no results in the missionary work, they will never think of returning to Beijing in their lifetime. By then, they will definitely work very hard.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Chen Feng with admiration: “Chen Qing’s family is loyal to the country. He thinks about what I think and thinks about what I want. I am happy. I have Chen Qing and I am even more powerful.”

Chen Feng: “…”

Your Majesty The praise given to him made his heart skip a beat.

He felt that he might not survive tonight.

At least, he could feel countless ferocious eyes being cast on him. He shuddered, but said helplessly: “I am ashamed.”

But at this moment, a eunuch hurried in from outside: “Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived. , just outside the county seat.”

At this time, everything settled.

Emperor Hongzhi Longyan was delighted.

I haven’t seen my son for many days.

Emperor Hongzhi was overjoyed and said: “Jifan, Shen Qing’s family.”

Fang Jifan and Shen Wen came out: “I am here.”

Emperor Hongzhi said: “Go and welcome him in.”

“I obey the order.”

Fang Jifan regretted that he could not come in person .

Send Mao Ji to a psychiatrist and get treatment properly. Maybe this Mr. Mao Ji has a relatively rare brain disease. Maybe, I also want to congratulate Mao Ji for finally getting what he wanted. I am happy to mention a A brain disease that has its own name has left its name in history.

For example, Maoji Alzheimer’s disease?

When he heard that the prince was coming, Fang Jifan felt happy.

So, Shen Wen and the prince’s father-in-law left Changping County together.

Outside the county town, Zhu Houzhao came with a large number of troops.

There are more than a thousand Changping Guards, all holding open fires, but they are neatly organized and have a certain appearance.

Zhu Houzhao was riding in front, and when he saw Fang Jifan from a distance, he was happy and got off his horse: “Old Fang, hahaha… You have indeed come to Changping, I will know…”

The two looked at each other, which contained a lot of information. .

From the moment Zhu Houzhao left for Changping, a conspiracy against Mao Ji had already begun.

When the prince arrived in Changping, people mistakenly thought that it was for military training, but in fact he had intentions for the development of Changping. He then went to Xishan Academy and the prince to cooperate with each other and make a gesture of exploring the terrain.

After that, these Changping gentry were put into the urn, and finally, the net was closed and they were all caught in one catch.

Shen Wen grimaced and coughed aside.

Only then did Zhu Houzhao notice Shen Wen, and he immediately cheered up: “Yeah, I’ve met Bachelor Shen, Bachelor Shen, hello.”

The two were not Weng’s son-in-law in name, but they were Weng’s son-in-law in fact. Zhu Houzhao’s attitude towards him , which is quite respectful.

Shen Wen saluted Zhu Houzhao: “Your Highness, you are polite.”

“You’re welcome.” Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, “Just in time, I have something to do and I want to see Bachelor Shen.”

He looked at Shen Wen with a smile.

This gave Shen Wen a bad premonition.

Zhu Houzhao said: “Senior Scholar Shen, it’s like this. A few days ago, I led the soldiers to drill. As you know, the money and food given by the court is better than nothing. I can’t let their hard work go in vain, so… I, your Majesty I have promised to give them some extra money every month. The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, right? Bachelor Shen must understand this truth, but I don’t have enough money… How about, Master Shen, you can lend me tens of thousands more taels of silver. …”

Shen Wen: “…”

He was angry, but he couldn’t get angry again in front of Zhu Houzhao. He said patiently: “Your Highness, doesn’t His Majesty have money in his internal funds? And the Duke of Qi has money? Ah.”

Zhu Houzhao stared at him, looking like he was mentally retarded, and couldn’t help but said angrily: “What are you talking about? My father is my biological father, and Fang Jifan is my biological brother. How can I borrow them? Money?”

Shen Wen: “…”

Zhu Houzhao said: “It’s just tens of thousands of taels.”

“I don’t have any money,” Shen Wen gritted his teeth.

“He said no.” Zhu Houzhao got angry: “Concubine Fang made it clear. The Shen family has thousands of acres of mulberry fields in their old house. The price of silk is so expensive now. Last year, the silk sold was worth tens of thousands. It’s two silver dollars, and that’s not all, there’s also…”

Shen Wen’s face changed, and he said hurriedly: “Okay, okay, okay, borrow it, I’ll borrow it.”

After coaxing Zhu Houzhao, Shen Wen felt as if a thief had entered his home. Feeling, so I frowned and sighed.

Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao had not seen each other for many days, and they were extremely close, laughing and joking all the way to Xingzai.

Zhu Houzhao entered the procession and saluted Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao with a smile.

He knew in his heart that the incident involving Mao Ji must have been a conspiracy between the prince and Fang Jifan.

The prince has indeed grown up.

Already know how to deal with people like Mao Ji.

No longer just relying on force, but using your brain.

Emperor Hongzhi kept his expression and smiled: “You are here, just in time, many people here are praising you.”

“Yeah.” Zhu Houzhao said happily: “Father, I don’t know what they praise their sons and ministers for.”

“Praising you and me .

The successor to the vassal government introduced a new policy to benefit the country and the people, which is a good thing for our Ming Dynasty.”

Zhu Houzhao said with joy: “This is nothing, my son can also knit sweaters, repair machines, and…”

Emperor Hongzhi. Hold your hands, this son is just not humble.

It would actually be good if you were more modest and soft-spoken.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: “I ordered you to come here to train troops, how about it?”

Zhu Houzhao said: “I am fortunate to have fulfilled my order. All the Changping Guards are under my supervision. Not only that, but what Lao Fang did is Approving firearms is so interesting, but it would be impossible for others to do it. Those who know mechanics cannot lead soldiers, and those who can lead soldiers do not understand the structure and principles of firearms, let alone how to improve them. I know everything. For more than a month, I have been practicing with the soldiers with this firearm. I have found more than 30 problems and 17 suggestions for improvement. At the same time, based on the improved fire gun, I have cooperated with it. The new training method enables this firearm to exert its maximum power. Now, the morale of the Changping Guards is as high as a rainbow, and they are no longer the sick and sick people they were before. Logistical cooperation is also inseparable from the sponsorship of Master Shen. “

Zhu Houzhao claimed that he had merit, and Emperor Hongzhi could understand it; Fang Jifan had merit, and Emperor Hongzhi could understand it.

This Shen Wen… what kind of merit does he have?

He doesn’t understand.

Shen Wen’s expression changed, and he said subconsciously: “Your Highness, it’s not that we agreed to borrow it, but we didn’t say that we would sponsor it.”

“This is the same principle.” Zhu Houzhao said, “I am doing my best for you, don’t be afraid. .”

Shen Wenhuang was extremely flustered.

I not only have a son-in-law, but also a son. What should I do with my son?

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: “The prince seems to be quite interested in military training. I know that since the orthodoxy, most of the border guards have been abandoned and have no combat effectiveness. Therefore, most of the guard posts have been abolished and military households have been reorganized. They were reorganized and sent to the Huanghuangzhou garrison. However, the guards in Gyeonggi and border towns have not yet been abolished. I have heard reports from others that the Changping guards are used to being lax and have no fighting power. The prince wants to reorganize them. I’m relieved.”

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: “Your Majesty, I have thought about it. Now Changping Guards have to take them out to gain some knowledge. They can’t stay here in Changping all the time. I have thought about it myself. Take them to Tianjin Guard for a walk. Tianjin Guard has large ships with countless ships coming in and out. Not only that, Tianjin Guard also has a huge training place, which is just right for them to perform well. “

Changping Guard is stationed in the mountains. On the ground, the camp is small and really not suitable for large-scale drills.

Zhu Houzhao was about to ask for orders now. Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly. Father and son had not seen each other for many days. He was doting on his heart and said, “If you want to go, just go.”

Zhu Houzhao said excitedly: “Father, whether you are going or not? It would be nice to see it with your own eyes.”

Emperor Hongzhi hesitated, the prince was also very affectionate to him today.

How do you feel…what the hell is going on?

But thinking about it carefully, Emperor Hongzhi felt ashamed. It probably was because father and son had not seen each other for a long time. How could I doubt my son so much.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the ministers. At this moment, he felt that he had great power.

For the time being, no one in the court dared to contradict him.

Emperor Hongzhi said: “I came to Changping all the way. I wanted to see the place where people preached enlightenment. But now, I came here in good spirits. I am afraid that I will return in despair. The prince’s military training is a matter of concern. The country and the country cannot be careless in the slightest. I am his father. Let’s go to Tianjin Wei to see what soldiers and horses the prince has trained and what the successor is capable of. . If they practice well, I will reward them well, oh, by the way, and the Shen Qing family who sponsored the prince.”

Shen Wen was frightened and said hurriedly: “Your Majesty, your Majesty, it is not a sponsorship, it is a loan, which must be repaid. That kind of thing.”

“It’s the same thing.” Emperor Hongzhi smiled: “Don’t be too serious.”

Shen Wen: “…”
