The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1405

[1405. Chapter 1334 Flower Seller Fang Jifan]

Fang Jifan was unwilling to recognize someone like Xiao Jing.

You can’t have cats and dogs just calling you mom and dad.

The most troublesome thing is that Xiao Jing is still the person in front of the emperor. He is the palm seal of Dongchang, the eunuch of the ceremonial department, and the eunuch Bingbi. For such a person to recognize him as his nephew, if the emperor knew about it, it would be a big deal.

But he is shameless if he can’t stand Xiao Jing.

Fang Jifan was ashamed. Now that His Majesty asked him, he didn’t know how to answer.

Xiao Jing knelt down on the ground and said: “Your Majesty, the fault of this servant’s eternal death is actually Fang Xiaofan, who saved this slave’s life. This slave has no way to repay this life-saving grace. This slave has the courage to do this. It has nothing to do with the Duke of Qi. How can a lowly servant dare to recognize Her Royal Highness as his aunt? “

Xiao Jing was very smart. He didn’t say that he recognized Fang Jifan as his uncle. After all, it was a bit taboo, but he insisted on it. , with this relationship, he is the nephew of Her Royal Highness the Princess. In this way, Your Majesty is the father of Her Royal Highness the Princess. So what should this be?

This circle is so chaotic. A single move can affect the whole body. If you recognize one person, all kinds of elders will be flying around in the sky.

Emperor Hongzhi: “…”

He could not connect Xiao Jing with his grandnephew.

You are a eunuch, you…

If it had been anyone else, Xiao Jing would have died a hundred times earlier if he dared to be so bold.

Xiao Jing is actually very smart. He knows very well the character of Emperor Hongzhi. It is said that the king of hell is easy to mess with, but the devil is difficult to deal with. He really can’t mess with the devil.

Emperor Hongzhi said calmly: “This is really nonsense. If you dare to do this again in the future, I will never forgive you lightly.”

Xiao Jing kowtowed as if pounding garlic: “I obey the order.”

“The White Lotus Sect needs to uproot them. This must not be done.” “I’m

slacking off.”

“I obey,”

Mu Bin knelt on the ground, slurring his lips, but stopped talking.

Emperor Hongzhi asked: “What, what does Mou Qing’s family have to say?”

Mou Bin said: “Your Majesty, actually…actually…since the Wang Gong Factory was abolished, the gunpowder workshop there has been changed into a warehouse for storing gunpowder. This time the Wang Gong Factory The warehouse exploded with terrifying power, but… But based on the power of the explosion, I also checked the number of gunpowder in and out. I have a suspicion…”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: “Keep talking.”

“These gunpowders, sir.

“

Yes, Your Majesty, so Beizhen Fusi estimates that this explosion is more of a deception. The gunpowder in the warehouse is 17,300 kilograms, which can explode.

“

The power, roughly speaking, is only about 4,000 kilograms. The remaining 10,000 kilograms were probably stolen by others. Most of the dozen people killed or injured in the explosion were officers and soldiers guarding the warehouse. I think , This may be their act of killing people and attacking in the east. “

You mean, they want to secretly use these more than 10,000 kilograms of gunpowder in other places?”

“I think so.”

“I’m here to ask . “

You, where are they going to use it?”

“This… I can’t tell. They have spent so much effort on this matter, and they must have spent countless manpower and material resources on this matter. Some of them may even have been killed in the bombing.” To collude with them, to steal so much gunpowder, to hide it, and to be useful, then these gunpowder must be used wisely for them. I am thinking that if they want to use it in the palace, maybe It’s not a big deal, after all, the palace is heavily guarded, but what about the others? I don’t know for sure. I thought, this White Lotus sect gangster must be trying every means to kill him. They think they are the biggest obstacle to their rebellion. Whoever is their biggest threat, they will attack.”

“…”

The palace suddenly became quiet.

Fang Jifan was confused when he heard this. He looked miserable and said subconsciously: “Commander Mou…means…their target is me!”

“…”

Everyone looked at Fang Jifan.

Mou Bin was silent for a moment: “No, Qi Guogong… I now estimate that they are most likely to target Liu Gong.”

This time, it was Fang Jifan’s turn to be confused.

What does this… mean?

Doesn’t it mean that what the White Lotus Sect wants to eradicate is the person they think is the biggest obstacle to the big thing they are planning?

It’s my successor.

Isn’t our contribution to the imperial court the greatest as we succeed the vassal to serve the country and the people?

Without our Fang Jifan…

why…it’s him Liu Jian?

When Liu Jian heard this, his face was calm: “Humph, how can I be afraid of a few rebel bandits? They will come if they dare!”

Emperor Hongzhi showed deep concern on his face: “Mou Qing’s family, Jinyi guards must be Protect Liu Qing’s family carefully, and don’t let these thieves take advantage of it.”

Mou Bin said seriously: “Don’t worry, Your Majesty, I must have something planned.” Fang Jifan

was a little confused and couldn’t help but said, “But I think Bai Lian. The target of the teaching is more likely to be me… Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei also wants to protect his son.”

Zhu Houzhao stood aside and patted Fang Jifan on the shoulder: “I will protect you.”

Emperor Hongzhi was noncommittal, and he only thought Fang Jifan was joking. .

Since Jinyiwei did not give Fang Jifan much face and determined that the target of the White Lotus Sect’s attack was Liu Jian, Emperor Hongzhi naturally did not dare to take it lightly. Emperor Hongzhi said: “I will dig down three feet to catch all these rebellious officials and traitors. “

Emperor Hongzhi was very angry.

Now the Ming Dynasty is in ruins, but these White Lotus cult bandits are still resurrected under repeated attacks. It would be nothing if the court loses power, but in the past few years, it has been relatively peaceful.

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down his emotions. Then he said: “No matter what, there is no need to make a fuss about these clowns. Where is Jifan?” Fang

Jifan was still thinking in his heart.

Our successor is so important and has made a decisive contribution to the Ming Dynasty. The White Lotus cult bandits should not be blind. What they want to murder is of course their biggest obstacle. Apart from our successor, how could this person be Liu Jian? Is this justified? Fang Jifan did not make any comments about the character of the White Lotus Cult bandits, but after thinking about it, they should not be blind.

It seems that it is better to be more careful when going out in the future, and you have to send thousands or eight hundred people to protect yourself.

“Jifan…”

Fang Jifan just came back to his senses and looked at Emperor Hongzhi blankly.

Emperor Hongzhi said with a cold face: “Although I have ordered you to be the Shaoyin of Shuntian Prefecture, I also ordered you to open a mansion and build teeth. But so far, there is no movement in Jingfu.”

It’s no wonder that Emperor Hongzhi is anxious, it’s almost been a while .

Years have passed, and the Jing Mansion has been built, but so far, there is no sign of it.

Fang Jifan said: “Your Majesty, the arrangements have been made, your Majesty, please rest assured.”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, how could he rest assured?

When Emperor Hongzhi first ordered Fang Jifan to open his mansion, he had deep intentions.

What the Jing Mansion involves is the national economy and people’s livelihood, and it is related to internal funds, but who knows that apart from doing nothing, Fang Jifan has done nothing in the Jing Mansion. Emperor Hongzhi waited and waited, and finally couldn’t bear it anymore.

Fang Jifan said plausibly: “Your Majesty, the arrangements for my son have been made. Your Majesty loves me dearly and allows me to open a palace and build a family. Naturally, my son will do his best, go through fire and water, and then die.”

Emperor Hongzhi said: “You have done it. What’s the matter?”

“Your Majesty, have you forgotten that I ordered Liu Wenshan to go to sea and go to Franji… to sell flowers…”

“Ahem…” The sound of coughing immediately spread in the palace.

After a year of experience, the flower has slowly become popular in the capital.

As for tulips, who doesn’t have a few in their yard now?

It’s just…

you went all the way to sell this thing to Franji people?

Do you think Francois are fools?

Everyone in the court regarded the Francois as barbarians.

But these white-skinned, blond and blue-eyed people were able to sail to the Western Ocean and establish rule in the Western Ocean. They even confronted the King of Xinjin in the Golden Continent. Although the Ming Dynasty defeated a Spanish expeditionary force, after all, the opponent was an expeditionary force. Come on, even if the Ming Dynasty sends an expeditionary force to Franji now, it will never dare to confidently believe that it can win.

Of course, this Frank machine cannot be a group of fools.

Were they fooled by your Fang Jifan?

Do you really think that Fang Jifan was able to thrive in the Ming Dynasty like a fish in water and be extremely happy because your IQ is higher than others?

If it weren’t for the fact that you have a brain disease and are a hero and a relative of the emperor and the country, everyone would have to hold their noses to recognize you for your nonsense. You can try it on the Franconian people and see how the Franconian people do. Kill Liu Wenshan.

But looking at Fang Jifan’s sincere look, what Fang Jifan said was an extremely important matter, and Fang Jifan took it seriously.

Emperor Hongzhi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This military and national event turned out to be child’s play when it came to Fang Jifan. He had no choice but to say: “The Franco people will buy these flowers.”

“Why wouldn’t you buy such a good thing?” Fang Jifan vowed. He said: “Your Majesty, you must believe me. Have you ever boasted about anything these years? I am an honest man.”

Emperor Hongzhi exchanged glances with Liu Jian and others.

Liu Jian and others all shook their heads helplessly.

This probably means that no matter what your Fang Jifan says…

about this… unless the sun rises in the west, they will never believe it. All these Francois are fools, and a bunch of those flowers can be sold. Ten pennies, or even a hundred pennies, maybe they can reluctantly believe it. If it’s more, it’s gone. But you send so many flowers and go all the way to Francois. Is this because the Francois are sick? Your Fang Jifan is ill.

“Okay, okay.” Emperor Hongzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head: “I trust you, but the vassal government can’t just sell flowers. I asked you to sell flowers, ah, no…”

Emperor Hongzhi himself was a little confused: “I ordered you to have your teeth repaired so that you can share my worries. How can selling flowers be the main business of Jingfu?”

“Why not?” Fang Jifan couldn’t help but said: “Your Majesty is wise and discerns everything, but Jingfu… If you don’t sell flowers, what else can you do?”
