The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1522

[1522. Chapter 1446 Emperor’s Heart]

Emperor Hongzhi left immediately without any hesitation.

Now, after experiencing the New Deal, Yan Guanqingliu has suffered heavy losses.

Because of this, as long as the emperor’s behavior does not disturb the people too much, he is not afraid of anyone making irresponsible remarks.

In accordance with the order, the eunuchs went to various ministries and asked them to send people to accompany them.

This actually made many people interested.

Xishan is a lawless place, and God knows what is happening inside.

Many people want to see how the emperor’s grandson is doing.

Of course, there are also many people who want to see jokes.

Now the New Deal is killing people.

Since Ouyang Zhi became Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, this new policy has a tendency to expand. This is the case with the selection of officials as officials.

There are many opponents of this, but not many who stand up and speak out against it.

Everyone was watching indifferently, waiting for a joke to come out.

All of a sudden, the ministers selected by hundreds of people set off to pick him up at Daming Gate, and then the mighty procession headed towards the Western Mountain.

Emperor Hongzhi was sitting in the carriage. Halfway through the journey, he suddenly remembered the note he had just made with Ouyang Zhi about selecting officials as officials, so he asked Xiao Jing who was beside the carriage: “Are the Ouyang Qing family accompanying you?”

Xiao Jing smiled. He said: “Your Majesty, Ouyang Budang is busy in the Ministry of Personnel. The person appointed by the Ministry of Personnel is Jiao Fang, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel.”

Jiao Fang…

Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

He had some impressions of this man.

As early as the Chenghua period, the great scholar Wan An felt that Jiao Fang was uneducated and had no skills, so he said to the people around him: “If you don’t learn like Fang, you are still a scholar.”

At that time, Jiao Fang was just an editor of the Hanlin Academy, and his status was very humble. This meant that even a person like Jiao Fang, who was so ignorant and unskilled, could still be an official in the Hanlin Academy.

Wan An, the great scholar, was the wife of Concubine Wan Gui, and had great power for a while.

But editor Jiao was furious after hearing what Wan An, the cabinet scholar, said.

Most people would naturally swallow their anger when encountering this kind of situation. After all, one is a cabinet bachelor and the other is just a small Hanlin editor.

But Jiao Fang didn’t say a word, but she didn’t confront Wan An head-on. Instead, she took a look at Wan An’s confidant Peng Hua and told people everywhere: “This must be Peng Hua plotting against me behind my back. If I can’t… The bachelor assassinated Peng Hua on Chang’an Road. “

Peng Hua was a gentle man after all. When he met such a ‘hero’, he probably said “f*ck” in his heart. He was shot while lying down. He was timid and was very frightened after hearing this. , and quickly sent this letter to the great scholar Wan An.

Wan An eventually had to recruit Jiao Fang as a lecturer.

Since then, Jiao Fang has made trouble for people like Peng Hua every now and then. After all, it has been proven to Wan An that people like Peng Hua, although they are in high positions and powerful positions, are all soft persimmons. Since they are soft persimmons, why not crush them to death? you?

Just like that, in the Chenghua Dynasty where the paper cabinet and the clay minister were made, Jiao Fang actually became prosperous.

When Emperor Hongzhi came to the throne, he changed the custom of the Chenghua Dynasty and began to liquidate Wan An, Peng Hua and others who were appointed by Emperor Chenghua and Concubine Wan Gui. This is a calculation. Damn it, this is against Wan An and Concubine Wan Gui. The main force of the group is not Liu Jian or Li Dongyang, but a guy like Jiao Fang.

With this status and qualifications in the world, Jiao Fang, who avenged his personal revenge publicly, continued to rise rapidly.

But Emperor Hongzhi had a good impression of him.

Jiao Fang has probably never said anything bad about the New Deal. In fact, as long as he is given an official position, he will not say anything bad about anyone. What’s more, he has already purchased dozens of acres of luxurious house in Xincheng.

When Emperor Hongzhi heard the word Jiao Fang, he couldn’t help being surprised and sighed repeatedly.

“I haven’t paid attention to this person for a long time. I never expected that he is already the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.”

“Your Majesty, you forgot.” Xiao Jing smiled: “That was recommended by the court in the seventeenth year of Hongzhi.”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded. , then he looked at Xiao Jing and smiled and shook his head: “I am getting older and forgetful more and more. This minister is upright and loyal to the country. He will definitely share my worries.”

Xiao Jing showed a meaningful smile and said without comment. At the level of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, Xiao Jing was no longer able to comment at will in front of the emperor.

Moreover, Jiao Fang is a person who must be punished. A few years ago, Jiao Fang worked as a minister in the Ministry of Rites. Because he was eager to perform, Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, blocked him. He always wanted to skip Ma Wensheng and directly meet the emperor. Therefore, Jiao Fang He believed that Ma Wensheng was deliberately retaliating against him and spoke ill of Zhang Sheng behind his back every day. And because Zhang Sheng was from the south, Jiao Fang privately wrote an article “Southerners should not be compared to each other.” In the court, every time a southerner retired, Jiao Fang couldn’t help but feel happy. Sometimes when writing articles, he would denigrate the south and praise the north, which intensified the contradiction between the north and the south. After becoming the left minister of the Ministry of official affairs, it became even more serious.

This guy is a talent.

Xiao Jing thought to himself that he didn’t want to provoke this guy. Who knows, he might ambush him on Chang’an Road and assassinate him?

The horizontal ones are afraid of the stunned ones, and the stunned ones are afraid of their lives.

Emperor Hongzhi became interested in Jiao Fang. He was very interested for a moment and ordered Xiao Jing with a smile.

“Tell him to get on the bus, and I will talk to him about the selection of officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.”

Xiao Jing nodded.

A moment later, Jiao Fang came.

He got into the car and seemed particularly excited.

However… this person has a dignified appearance, with a majestic look on his face. Even if he is happy, he is also solemn.

Emperor Hongzhi secretly approved in his heart.

When Jiao Fang saw the ceremony in the car, Emperor Hongzhi leaned slightly and nodded: “Sit down, Qing.”

Jiao Fang leaned over and sat down.

Emperor Hongzhi looked him up and down, then slowly asked: “The Qing family is the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel, how do you think about the selection of officials?”

Jiao Fang smiled: “Your Majesty, there is a lot of resentment among the local people.”

“Of course it is very big .

“Emperor Hongzhi said: “Ouyang Qing’s family has been psychologically prepared for this.”

Jiao Fang said: “But the local resentment will not be directed at Ouyang Budang. They will only think that it is His Majesty’s intention. For this reason, if the resentment is directed at the palace, I am afraid that your majesty will bring disaster to the fish pond.”

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t help but look at Jiao Fang deeply.

This Jiao Fang has something in her words.

Historically, only ministers served as scapegoats for the emperor, but the implication seemed to be that His Majesty had made Ouyang Zhi a scapegoat.

Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a moment, then looked at him in confusion and asked seriously: “So, you object?”

Jiao Fang shook her head at Emperor Hongzhi.

“I have never opposed the New Deal. I just feel that if I act too hastily and something goes wrong, it will be a disaster.”

Emperor Hongzhi patted the handle of the chair gently with his hand, beat the rhythm slowly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said lightly Asked: “What big disaster?”

Jiao Fang looked very calm, but she paused word by word.

“Disengagement from morality is a disaster.”

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows: “But the people can live a good life.”

“The people’s opinion of the Tianjia comes from the opinions of scholars, and their impression of the emperor comes from local officials.”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: “What the Qing family said is not unreasonable.”

Then Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand towards Jiao Fang.

“I’m tired, please step aside.”

Jiao Fang originally wanted to talk, but seeing Emperor Hongzhi’s indifferent attitude, she couldn’t help but feel disappointed, so she resigned and got off the car.

Emperor Hongzhi tapped his fingers lightly, and Xiao Jing stood in the corner of the car with a bow. Emperor Hongzhi looked at Jiao Fang and asked with a puzzled face: “Is there any conflict between Jiao Fang and Ouyang Qing’s family?”

Xiao Jing He hesitated to speak.

“You want to hide it from me?”

Xiao Jing said, “I will find a way to check it out.”

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and said with certainty: “There is no need to check, I know you have something in mind.”

Xiao Jing had to say .

: “Your Majesty, this servant will die. I am a palace servant. How can I criticize foreign affairs at will? There are indeed some contradictions. A few years ago, Jiao Fang was the minister of the Ministry of Rites. After that, he was appointed as the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He has been through two dynasties. Originally, he had the best chance of being the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He had no choice but to reconcile. Ouyang Qing’s family has made great contributions, so…”

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly realized that this was the case, and he couldn’t help but feel bad in his heart: “In this way, Jiao Fang is too selfish.”

Xiao Jing thought for a while and then said slowly: “Besides, in the staff department, because of the need to implement the New Deal, Ouyang Department must do everything personally, including all appointments, and When selecting officials, they refused to rely on others. Jiao Fang recommended many people, including his son, but in the end, they were all rejected by Ouyang Budang. Therefore… Jiao Fang went around and said that Ouyang Budang… …Ouyang Budang…”

“What is he?” Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing didn’t dare to hide it and told the truth.

“He is a dull fool.”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, his eyes cold.

After a long time, Emperor Hongzhi’s expression returned to calm.

At this time, the carriage has arrived at Xishan.

Emperor Hongzhi came to Xishan by surprise, so the team of Shengjia went straight to Xishan Research Institute.

This happened so suddenly that there was no time to report it.

Fang Jifan was sitting on the big sofa in the tea room of the institute, with Ge You lying on his back, drinking tea slowly. Hearing the movement outside, the boy who was serving tea and water walked to the window and looked at him in surprise. : “Master, the Holy Master is here, the Holy Master is here.”

“What?”

Fang Jifan suddenly asked.

The boy anxiously urged Fang Jifan.

“The holy driver is here, sir, hurry up and pick him up. I’m afraid it will be late. Hey, they have already entered the institute.” Fang Jifan stood up and said excitedly: “Quick, quick, find me a

white

coat.”

The servant looked at Fang Jifan with a puzzled expression.

“My lord, this welcome… is wearing a white coat.”

Fang Jifan, however, was already as agile as an ape. He personally went to get a white coat and put it on. However, he did not go downstairs to greet him, but went to the next door. In the third research room, several graduate students were sweating profusely. Fang Jifan squeezed in and said, “Go away and make room.”

The students looked surprised.

Fang Jifan has occupied seat C of the research room, which is facing the door and has a good view. There is a container in front of him, and alcohol is burning the liquid in the glass container.
