The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1548

[1548. Chapter 1470 What a blessing for the country]

After his private visit to Baoding Prefecture that year, Emperor Hongzhi quite agreed with the idea of conducting private patrols incognito.

On the one hand, he was afraid of being deceived by officials. Even if there were factory guards, he could not intuitively understand the sentiments of the people.

On the other hand, since it is a private patrol, after all, it does not require any fanfare and saves money.

Of course… there is another important reason, that is, with the increasing number of people in Beijing, there are many jobs in the construction of new cities, so various entertainments are also becoming popular, such as the popularity of storybooks…

Previous In recent days, there has been a story about the emperor’s private visit. Of course, the author was too timid to write about the current emperor, so he used the name of the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

But when Emperor Hongzhi saw it, wasn’t this what happened when I went to Baoding Mansion?

At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t help but feel slightly annoyed.

It’s a pity that such a good thing happened to the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

It is said that this story has been compiled into a drama and is sung in theaters all over the world.

Today Emperor Hongzhi has changed into civilian clothes, so his appearance needs a little modification.

There is no way, now there is his portrait on the treasure banknote. Although his demeanor and appearance are ‘improved’ in this portrait, even if he is the real Emperor Hongzhi, others don’t quite recognize him.

I heard that Fang Jifan and the prince were like this when they went out. If they didn’t dress up a little, they would inevitably be recognized.

After taking care of it, Xiao Jing said cautiously: “Your Majesty, I have arranged more than seventy guards, arranged for open and hidden stakes…”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, waved his hand and said, “People There are too many, so there is no need to do so. This is the emperor’s feet, and it is not anywhere else. Let’s cut it by half. “

Even if it is cut by half, it is still too much for Emperor Hongzhi. The people who can protect him personally are all worth ten. Healthy and healthy, all of them have extraordinary skills.

Emperor Hongzhi thought of something and said again: “Let the prince and his successor come together. I am alone and very lonely.”

Xiao Jing couldn’t help but look at Emperor Hongzhi resentfully. How dare you say that this slave is not a human being?

Of course, he smiled and agreed.

After leaving the palace like this, Emperor Hongzhi first went to an inn outside the palace. This inn was the place agreed upon with Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan.

After going out, Emperor Hongzhi felt a little lighter on his face. He sat down leisurely at a table and ordered some refreshments.

The location of this inn is good, and tea and wine are always available. Therefore, even if it is not a meal, it is still crowded.

Emperor Hongzhi drank tea and ate snacks, but he waited for a long time. Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao were not seen on either side, so he became a little impatient and wanted to be urged more with an angry look.

But at this moment, Leng Bu Ran heard wailing outside the inn.

Emperor Hongzhi subconsciously looked through the window.

However, Fang Jifan fell straight off his horse and let out a groan. The servants behind him were all trying to help him up.

Emperor Hongzhi: “…”

After all, someone helped Fang Jifan and limped in. Fang Jifan’s face was extremely ugly, and he looked very miserable.

Emperor Hongzhi was both angry and funny. Such a big man could actually fall off his horse…

Emperor Hongzhi said with a straight face: “Why are you so careless and frivolous? It’s really unseemly, I agree… In my opinion, you are not as good as Zhu Shou now.”

This is a result of the painstaking efforts of an elder.

Unexpectedly, Fang Jifan had a sad face: “Your Majesty… Master Zhu, it’s not my fault. If you are to blame, it’s Zhu Shou. After listening to Master Zhu’s summons, I came as quickly as possible. In addition, he also asked I went to find Zhu Shou to meet him, but I just saw Zhu Shou outside the inn…I was shocked, so…”

Zhu Shou, it was Zhu Houzhao.

Emperor Hongzhi looked around and couldn’t help but said strangely: “Didn’t you see him? Where is he? Since he is here, why can’t he be seen?”

Outside the inn, someone was poking his head.

Emperor Hongzhi finally saw the sneaky figure and coughed heavily.

The sneaky person seemed to feel that he could not escape the first year of junior high school, but could not escape the fifteenth year of junior high school, so he came in in a submissive manner.

Emperor Hongzhi took a closer look and was about to spit out a mouthful of tea.

But I saw that Zhu Houzhao was also dressed in plain clothes.

It’s just… the way… the way…

his hair is curled up like waves and tied up with a hairband. It’s very trendy.

Emperor Hongzhi’s face was filled with sorrow, and he said stiffly: “What…what disease do you have?”

Zhu Houzhao then smiled and said: “No disease, no disease, dad, how are you.”

Looking at Zhu Houzhao’s head of fluffy curly hair When Emperor Hongzhi heard the word “no disease”, his face became even more miserable: “This hair of yours, this hair…”

“It’s permed.” Zhu Houzhao shook his hair and said happily: “This is fashionable now, heat it with tongs Now, if you curl your long hair, it will look like waves. Dad, do you think your son has a new look?”

Emperor Hongzhi covered his heart and felt his heart aching badly.

Zhu Houzhao still looked triumphant: “Dad, things are different now. Lao Fang, why do you look at me like this?”

Fang Jifan averted his eyes.

Emperor Hongzhi looked horrified.

After all, Zhu Houzhao was not a winkless person, so he quickly winked at Fang Jifan, meaning that he wanted Fang Jifan to help him turn around.

Fang Jifan wanted to beat this guy to death.

Prince Dog, you just went to get your hair permed, but you didn’t tell me. Didn’t you know that Fang Jifan opened a perm shop in Xishan? The fat flows out of the outsiders’ fields.

It can be seen that Emperor Hongzhi was like this, Fang Jifan still had to stand up. He sighed: “Master, I heard that this is really popular among young people nowadays. Not only do they perm their hair, but they also use dyes to dye their hair colorful. Not only Well, men also have their ears pierced and have rings on them, and their noses… also wear a nose ring, just like… a cow. What’s more, they wear women’s colorful clothes and apply makeup and powder. Master, there are more and more people like this, and they are getting more and more outrageous.”

Emperor Hongzhi shuddered.

Isn’t this… a monster?

Fang Jifan smiled again and said: “But look at Zhu Shou, Zhu Shou only had his hair permed, not dyed, nor did he wear a nose ring, a tongue ring, or women’s clothes. This shows that Zhu Shou can still tell the difference. He knows the pros and cons. Master, after all, this is the result of your usual words and deeds. If not, Zhu Shou’s current image will be even worse. Master has always been a wise man, with a strict family education and a good way to teach his children. Now Zhu Shou. But getting a perm is for the country…ah, no, this is the luck of the family and the result of the master’s high moral character.”

Emperor Hongzhi: “…”

The tea guests beside him were still noisy.

But everyone at the table fell silent.

Zhu Houzhao was a little afraid and nodded secretly. He couldn’t help but admire Fang Jifan. He thought for a while and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. “What Lao Fang said is that at that time they recommended me to wear a gold ring, silver ring or something.” Yes, I thought of my father’s usual teachings, and immediately turned down my face, and sternly refused.”

Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a long time, as if… he was dissatisfied with the current situation, but also helpless. He turned away and said lightly: “Go to Ruyi Bank. Let’s go.”

Zhu Houzhao shook his wavy hair, as if he had been granted amnesty.

Emperor Hongzhi was in front, while Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan were behind. Fang Jifan couldn’t help but be annoyed and whispered: “When did you get a curly hair?”

“I look mighty.” Zhu Houzhao touched his fluffy head: “And… why don’t you give it a try? Lao Fang, you are also a young man, but you look so depressed. No wonder you have accomplished nothing and dare not do anything. What can you achieve?”

Fang Jifan gritted his teeth and glared at Zhu Houzhao, but It’s speechless.

…………

The signboard of Ruyi Bank has been taken down a long time ago.

However, the location and decoration it occupies are excellent.

Then Chen Zheng directly ransacked his home, and naturally all his shops were also searched, and now, a new signboard was hung here – Xishan Bank.

The brand was put up, and the people were changed. Not only did they carry out the business of Xishan Bank, but… they were also responsible for the last bit of returning the stolen goods.

Now the matter of returning the stolen goods has been completed.

But there are also many people who are not convinced.

After all, why should I get less money back if I invest more?

Therefore, a sign was hung outside the bank, saying that those who caused trouble would be robbed of the bank and beaten to death.

Emperor Hongzhi and others arrived. Seeing that the place was quite peaceful and there seemed to be nothing to see, Emperor Hongzhi called Fang Jifan over and said, “Jifan, have all the returns of the stolen money been completed?”

“There are still some money that no one has left. “Everyone who came to lead us has already retreated,” Fang Jifan answered honestly.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: “I’m just here to take a look at this matter. In the past few days, there have been many people who have impeached you.”

Fang Jifan did not react much and said, “But two uncles?”

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head. His eyes never rested on Zhu Houzhao. He regarded him as nothing but air and said with a straight face: “The two of them are definitely going to cause trouble. I and the Queen will not pay attention to them, but Yu Shi Jiang He said, but he wrote a letter bitterly stating that you took this opportunity to win people’s hearts, and that many of the money came and went without knowing it, saying that you were pretending to be a public servant for personal gain.”

Emperor Hongzhi gave Fang Jifan a meaningful look, and then said: “Did Jiang Yan ever invest any money? Did he enter Ruyi Bank?”

Fang Jifan was stunned for a moment, then thought about it seriously and said, “Master, there seems to be no record of him investing money in Ruyi Bank.”

“That’s the problem.” Emperor Hongzhi obviously understood. He frowned and said: “If he had invested money, it could be said that he was seeking revenge for his personal revenge, but if he didn’t invest, the repercussions of his memorial would have been huge.”

Fang Jifan’s expression suddenly changed, and he said with a look of resentment .

: “It turns out that the master came out to check on me.”
