The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1562

[1562.Chapter 1484: Clearly aware of everything]

Xiao Jing nodded.

However… Xiao Jing couldn’t help but feel nervous when he saw that His Majesty’s attitude was unclear.

In fact, the factory guard went crazy last night. He kept bringing notes and passing them in through the crack of the palace door, hoping to obey Xiao Jing’s instructions.

Xiao Jing was also in a dilemma. He asked the factory guards to intervene immediately. Why interfere? Those people in Xishan Academy are all madmen, and the factory guards will be beaten.

But it would be derelict to not interfere and allow such things to happen.

Of course, the most important thing here is… His Majesty’s attitude.

It is extremely unwise to act rashly before knowing His Majesty’s intentions.

Xiao Jing had complicated thoughts and left in a hurry.

Soon after, Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne and summoned all officials.

So Xie Qian was the leader, followed by Li Dongyang, and then ministers from various ministries led hundreds of officials to attend.

All ministers saluted.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: “Last night, I heard a roar coming from the capital, and factory guards carrying notes kept coming into the palace. I wonder what happened?”

Xie Qian and others had complicated thoughts, and they could not understand His Majesty more and more. .

Ma Wensheng, Zhang Shengren, etc… also have their own concerns.

Fang Jifan’s behavior was extremely bad.

This is no longer a question of right and wrong.

But the question is, if you think you are right, can you do this?

So what do you want the emperor to do, and what do you want the court to do?

At this time, someone came out and said: “Your Majesty, Fang Jifan mobilized his troops without authorization yesterday, surrounded Jiang Mansion, and then killed him wantonly.”

It would be much easier if someone led the team…

Then someone else said: “Your Majesty, the Duke of Qi is actually in a private house. Gunpowder was used, and the power of the gunpowder was so powerful that it shocked the capital. “

“Your Majesty… Duke Qi insulted the imperial envoy Jiang Yan. So far, the life and death of Jiang Yan and his son are uncertain. “

“Your Majesty… Duke Qi said that he is Wang Fa.

“Your Majesty… the Duke of Qi actually stuffed the imperial officials into the prison car, so that he was so polite that he lost his temper.”

“

Your Majesty…”

This is shocking.

From the beginning of Emperor Hongwu Gao to the present, there have been countless arrogant and powerful officials, but they are not like this.

“Your Majesty…” Yushi Zuodu stood up.

He is the leader of the censor, and Jiang Yan is his subordinate after all. He has reason to stand up and say something like this: “Your Majesty, no matter what the reason is, Fang Jifan dares to do this and ignore the laws of the court. This is all It is a serious crime of rebellion. If he is tolerated and everyone follows his example, from now on, the country will not be able to survive, and the country will be safe.”

This is the most powerful thing when he says this.

To some extent.

No one cares about what is right or wrong anymore, but Fang Jifan should be sentenced to death simply because he behaved so recklessly.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said with unclear meaning: “Oh, so that’s the case.”

Then he said: “Where is the Jiang Yan people? Come and pass the news. There are also people from Fang Jifan and so on.”

Bai The officer fell into silence.

No one said a word.

Li Dongyang’s judgment was correct.

His Majesty asked Liu Jian to recuperate, which was for protection.

If something like this happens now, if Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, is here, as the head of the hundred officials, I am afraid he will have to express his position here.

He even envied Liu Jian for having such a holy family.

After waiting for a long time, finally…Jiang Yan was carried over.

Jiang Yan was in ragged clothes and had a miserable look on his face. When he arrived at the Fengtian Palace, he burst into tears: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty… I acted according to the imperial order, but for some reason, I offended that Fang Jifan… and now I have been tortured by that Fang Jifan. If the family is broken and the people are destroyed, the family is broken and the people are destroyed…”

His voice choked with sobs, and tears fell down like a flooded river.

It was obvious that he had not slept all night last night, and because he had been tied up all night, his hands and feet were numb. He sadly said: “Your Majesty, please make the decision for me.” He

could no longer say the next words.

When the ministers saw Jiang Yan, they couldn’t help but feel horrified. Look, how miserable it is that the dignified imperial censor Qingliu and the dignified imperial envoy were tortured to this point. Many people felt the sorrow of a rabbit dying of a fox.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t help but frown slightly when he saw it.

“Why did Fang Jifan do this?”

Jiang Yan said sadly: “I don’t know.”

Emperor Hongzhi said: “I have entrusted you with a heavy responsibility. It is really unpredictable that such a thing will happen. Are Fang Jifan’s people here?”

At this time, someone finally came outside. The eunuch said: “The prince, Duke Fang Jifan of Qi, and Ouyang Zhi, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, have an audience.”

The three people entered the palace and immediately prostrated themselves.

Emperor Hongzhi met these three people.

Ouyang Zhi’s face remained expressionless.

In fact, from the perspective of observing words and emotions, Ouyang Zhi can be completely ignored.

Zhu Houzhao walked in the front with his head held high, like a proud little rooster, ah, no, more like a victorious general.

Fang Jifan, on the other hand, seemed to have lowered his eyebrows. He lowered his head and walked into the hall.

“I have met Your Majesty.”

The three of them prostrated themselves and saluted.

Emperor Hongzhi’s eyes first fell on Fang Jifan.

“Fang Qing’s family.”

“I’m here.” Fang Jifan’s voice was gentle, and he even became taciturn today.

Emperor Hongzhi asked: “Are all the reports from your Majesty true?”

“Reporting to Your Majesty, it should be… true.” He still lowered his head, looking ashamed.

Obviously, the strategy has changed this time, which is a bit different from the past.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: “Fang Qing’s family took people to Jiang Mansion and blew up Jiang Mansion?”

Fang Jifan responded straightforwardly: “Yes.”

“Domineering to the point of claiming to be Wang Fa?”

“Yes.”

“What do you have? Is it debatable?” Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan looked trembling: “Your Majesty… there is nothing to argue with. This is a crime punishable by death. I know it very well. I beg your Majesty to punish me.”

“…”

This… is a bit, no… …something is very wrong.

If it were Fang Jifan in the past, he would have been eloquent, or would have claimed that he had a brain disease and that he was a child.

But today, he was unexpectedly obedient and submissive, and confessed to all the crimes.

Emperor Hongzhi said calmly: “You know, this is a crime punishable by death.”

Fang Jifan still looked harmless and said: “I know, I have already made the best plan.”

Jiang Yan, who was kneeling aside, said After hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in his sad eyes, and a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his heart.

Fang Jifan, Fang Jifan, weren’t you very arrogant yesterday? Aren’t you very proud?

What’s going on now?

He gritted his teeth and wished he could tear Fang Jifan into pieces.

So he said: “Your Majesty…”

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly glared at Jiang Yan and said sternly: “I didn’t ask you to speak.”

Jiang Yan: “…”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

If it was Fang Jifan’s past temper, he would definitely feel that Fang Jifan was knowingly and deliberately, and his temper was too arrogant. Even if Fang Jifan was reasonable, he would have to give him a good beating to sharpen his spirit.

But now… Fang Jifan lowered his eyebrows and admitted his mistakes obediently, and admitted all his crimes. This made Emperor Hongzhi realize that the problem was not as simple as it seemed.

Emperor Hongzhi said: “Fang Jifan, before this, have you ever received an edict from the prince?”

Fang Jifan shook his head: “No, it’s all the ministers who make the decisions without authorization.”

As soon as this statement came out, Zhu Houzhao was confused again.

Isn’t it agreed?

He immediately shouted: “Yes, there is…it’s on Lao Fang. If you search it, you will know that it was written by your son himself.”

“Tell the truth.” Fang Jifan insisted: “No “The prince didn’t know anything about this.”

Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he stared at Fang Jifan and knocked a wrench out of his sleeve.

Everyone took a breath and their eyes became complicated.

This thing seemed familiar to the guests last night.

It’s this thing again…

Emperor Hongzhi stood up, ignored Zhu Houzhao, and only stared at Fang Jifan: “Why are you doing this?”

“Because…” Fang Jifan took a deep breath before saying, “Because Jiang Yan took his son’s Uncle, I am so angry…”

“Uncle, when did you come?” Emperor Hongzhi looked surprised, and it was obvious that his successor’s answer was somewhat unexpected.

Aren’t all of you named Fang sent to Huanghuangzhou?

You, Fang Jifan, are now the lone star of the evil spirits.

Are there any paternal relatives here?

Fang Jifan nodded and said, “Yes.”

“Who is this person?”

Fang Jifan said, “His name is not worth mentioning.”

The more this happened, the more strange Emperor Hongzhi felt.

There must be many hidden secrets here.

He originally thought that Fang Jifan was dissatisfied with Jiang Yan’s misdeeds during his tenure as imperial envoy.

Of course…this was Emperor Hongzhi’s plan.

However, this plan was disrupted because of Fang Jifan’s misbehavior.

Emperor Hongzhi felt a little curious in his heart, and said, “Then I’ll call this person here. I want to see with my own eyes who this person is.”

As he said that, he glanced at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing nodded in understanding and went to do it immediately.

All the officials remained silent.

They had nothing to say about this matter and were just waiting for the final result.

Jiang Yan sneered in his heart.

He knew very well that Fang Jifan was grasping at straws and refused to let go of any opportunity.

He said that he had taken his uncle, haha…he could find such an excuse.

Even if you take it, so what? I am acting impartially.

Can you, Fang Jifan, do such a thing?

Do you want to use this to get away with it?

Emperor Hongzhi’s eyes fell on Jiang Yan, looking anxious and impatient.

This matter… is very difficult.

Of course…he has his own opinions in mind.

He was extremely disgusted with Jiang Yan.

What Fang Jifan did was just a little too much.

But…

when Emperor Hongzhi looked anxious.

But there were people limping into the temple, leaning on crutches.

Emperor Hongzhi took a closer look and was startled.

This person… actually looks somewhat familiar.

But…

even though this man had changed into new clothes, it was obvious that the exposed skin on his face was covered in scars. Perhaps it was because of his serious injuries. Although he stubbornly walked into the temple, his body was hurting with every step he took. But they all use a strange posture.

Emperor Hongzhi’s eyes widened!

Chen Zhong…
