The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1578

[1578. Chapter 1499 The show begins]

Although it seems that time travelers like to run newspapers.

I even think it is a good thing to gain both fame and fortune.

But after Fang Jifan truly understood the world, he knew better than anyone else that using this thing to fight against the pure and traditional scholars was courting death.

Even Fang Jifan’s Xishan Academy has trained a large number of students.

You can use your heels to think clearly.

The skills of these Qingliu and scholars are all focused on writing beautiful articles and spouting saliva.

What about Xishan Academy? What they studied was mathematics, physics and chemistry, so asking a group of science students to compete against a group of Qingliu with a lot of skills, isn’t this looking for death?

Obviously he has mastered the skill of blowing people up into the sky, and he also has weapons such as Jingcha, but he just ran to reason with these Wuyangyang guys. This is tantamount to dragging himself directly onto the battlefield of Qingliu, and then Let the Qingliu people use their best methods to torture themselves to death.

After all, Fang Jifan has no masochistic tendencies.

As for relying on influence and reasoning, trying to convince them is almost wishful thinking.

You know, after the Di newspaper is launched, who will be responsible for proofreading and writing articles?

It seems that the emperor can ask people from Xishan to come, but people from Xishan are not good at this. You can ask them to write a paper, but writing this… This is called ungentlemanly.

Since the people in Xishan couldn’t write it, the emperor had to do it himself. But how many days could the emperor persist in writing?

In the end, don’t you still want to appoint Hanlin? Even if these Hanlins obey you on the surface, what scholars are best at is the Spring and Autumn style of writing. On the surface, your newspapers are talking about my emperor’s holy virtues, but behind the scenes there are all kinds of sarcasm and scolding you. You are still happy.

Moreover, this trend has started, so-called deeds and deeds, and all the chief ministers and prefectures and counties must imitate the same. And who are the people in charge of these newspapers?

Fang Jifan was right to say that this was due to the scholarly spirit. Whether it was Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, or the emperor, their thinking was, to put it bluntly, the same as that taught by saints.

This is not to say that they are not smart enough, but the essence is the limitations of the times. The influence they have had since childhood has caused them to form a habitual thinking. They always think that some people have the possibility of enlightenment. How naive!

When Li Dongyang heard what Fang Jifan said to the scholar, his face immediately dropped.

After listening to Fang Jifan’s analysis, he was still a little unconvinced.

He finally couldn’t help but said: “So, Qi Guogong must have a clever plan?”

Isn’t this what Fang Jifan was waiting for?

Fang Jifan smiled and said with a determined look on his face: “Unfortunately, I happen to have a way. As long as I use it and keep it, these people will be vulnerable, and they will be beaten to pieces and cry for father and mother.”

Li Dongyang was stunned .

,is it possible?

But… what Fang Jifan just said, he actually felt that it was not completely unreasonable.

After listening to this analysis, the four monarchs and ministers felt that their good mood yesterday had been completely wiped out.

Now hearing Fang Jifan’s vows, Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t help but take a deep look at Fang Jifan: “What is Jifan’s noble opinion?”

Fang Jifan said cheerfully: “Your Majesty, I can’t explain this at the moment. In fact, I had already done it earlier. I have made preparations. Yesterday I heard Eunuch Xiao talk about His Majesty’s worries, so I have already made arrangements, but…it’s just…this matter must be seen to be believed, I would like to say here. No matter how much, it will be difficult to explain clearly.”

Emperor Hongzhi cheered up. He knew that Fang Jifan always had many ideas. He glanced at Li Dongyang from the corner of his eye and said with interest, “Oh, seeing is believing.”

Fang Jifan then said: “Your Majesty, please move to Pinggu County.”

Pinggu County…

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

This Pinggu County is a county under the jurisdiction of Jizhou of Shuntian Prefecture. It is relatively remote among the capital. It is the gateway to the capital and the hub connecting Tianjin and Wei.

However… this kind of place is the most pitiful. Although it is connected to both sides, it is neither left nor right, so it hardly has much sense of existence in the counties under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture. Fortunately, it is One of the garrison areas of Jingying, this is the only place where Emperor Hongzhi had an impression of it.

It should be noted that there is a hundred miles from Pinggu County to Daming Palace. Why are you going to Pinggu County for no reason?

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan in confusion: “Why is this?”

Fang Jifan said confidently: “Your Majesty, because… the answer lies in Pinggu County.”

Liu Jian couldn’t help but said: “Pinggu County is more than a hundred miles away, could it be the Duke of Qi? Are you going to encourage His Majesty to go on a private tour again?”

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be hesitant, and it was indeed a bit far away.

Li Dongyang, on the other hand, smiled and said: “Your Majesty, this is a big deal. Since the Duke of Qi has said it with certainty, there may be some good solution. If it can really solve your Majesty’s troubles, it will be a good thing.”

Obviously, Li Dongyang was not convinced, so he naturally wanted to find out what kind of medicine Fang Jifan bought in his gourd that would make him convinced.

I have been a smart man all my life. You said I am just a scholar. Well, I want to see what method you, Fang Jifan, have to turn decay into magic.

Emperor Hongzhi also aroused curiosity, but was a little confused. He squinted and said: “This road… is far enough. If we set out now, I’m afraid we won’t arrive until evening. If I succeed to the vassal, if I stay away from the capital for too long, I may There’s something going on.”

He was silent for a moment and looked up at Xiao Jing: “Xiao Banban, if you call the emperor’s grandson here, let him study here. Xiao Banban is also here, so please accompany him to study.”

Xiao Jing understood: “Your Majesty, do you need your servants to prepare for the patrol?”

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: “Go and prepare.”

…

Liu Jian couldn’t help but shake his head.

His Majesty has begun to withdraw from the palace more and more.

He vaguely felt something was inappropriate, but he smiled bitterly in the end.

His Majesty has become completely different from before. In the past, His Majesty always acted in line with the standards of a good emperor in the minds of the readers, but now… he completely deviates from the minds of the readers.

But… who can blame this?

Emperor Hongzhi was preparing to leave, but because he had to be extra careful in terms of safety when leaving the capital, the Warrior Battalion mobilized hundreds of people, plus the accompanying Jinwu Guards, etc., and then ordered Zhang Mao to personally mobilize a thousand Xiaoqi went to Pinggu County and the capital to set up defenses, but did not tell him the reason.

Among the accompanying ministers were Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, while Xie Qian stayed behind and had to sit in the cabinet.

Immediately afterwards, he summoned a Hanlin who was on duty today to accompany him.

This Hanlin’s name was Wu Jiawang. Wu Jiawang was confused at first and didn’t know what was going on. The person who sent the message just said that he should wait at Daming Gate.

He was waiting outside the Daming Gate in a daze when he saw the Daming Gate open, and then he saw a group of people coming out.

Wu Jiawang was confused. Only the emperor could enter this Ming Gate. It was always closed. What happened?

But he saw a fast horse coming out at the head. It was the energetic Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan noticed the surprised Wu Jiawang at a glance, immediately pointed at Wu Jiawang, and said angrily: “It’s him, come on, tie him up, no need to tie him up, take him away.”

Wu Jiawang was horrified, he was held hostage in a daze, and directly Out of the capital.

What happened?

He doesn’t understand!

Wu Jiawang was angry when he saw Fang Jifan, because Fang Jifan’s Jingcha did not scare him half to death.

The people and horses did not stop all the way, guarding a large car and hurriedly headed towards Tianjin Wei.

By the time we arrived in Pinggu County, it was already Shenshi Moment.

It seemed that Fang Jifan had already made arrangements.

Before the troops entered the county town, someone hurriedly came towards them with others, and it turned out to be Wang Jinyuan.

Wang Jinyuan came all night last night, and said excitedly: “Master, Master… everything is ready, I will keep it to your satisfaction. The Young Master is wise and powerful, just like the Wenqu star descending from the mortal world, strategizing, it is really…”

Fang Jifan smiled and lowered his voice. Voice: “You bitch, don’t do this, there’s someone behind you.”

Wang Jinyuan was surprised, looking past Le Fang Jifan, he saw the carriages and horses surrounded by countless people, and he was suddenly speechless.

There are not many people who can make the young master fearful. Apart from Her Royal Highness, it seems… there is only one person in the whole world.

“I understand, I understand.” Wang Jinyuan never expected that the Holy Master was here, and the young master had not informed him in advance. He was much more cautious, and blinked at Fang Jifan: “We are all ready. The Pinggu County Magistrate was frightened when he learned that the young master was coming. He peed his pants, saying that he admired the young master very much, and he obeyed the young master’s instructions obediently. “

Fang Jifan only asked: “When can we start?”

“People from all over the country…have been sent to urge them. , I’m afraid… it won’t come so soon, it will take at least another hour.”

Fang Jifan gritted his teeth and said: “Hurry up, and… you must not reveal the identity of the person in the car, or I will chop you up.”

Wang Jinyuan hurriedly said .

He vowed: “Don’t worry, young master. Since I have followed the young master, my life will be handed over to the young master. He is born to the young master, and dies to the young master’s ghost. When he meets the Lord of Hell, in the next life, he will be saddled by the young master. The young master is water, A villain is like a boat…”

Fang Jifan couldn’t understand why a person who just flattered others could be so shameless.

He sighed: “Gungun, don’t make me beat you.”

Wang Jinyuan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and quickly disappeared from Fang Jifan’s eyes.

After leading the carriage to the county, we went directly into Wengcheng. After all, it was a suburban county in Gyeonggi Province and fully equipped with military equipment. Therefore, Wengcheng occupied a huge area.

Now a large open space has been opened up in the original school grounds of Wengcheng.

At this moment, many people were pouring in under the leadership of the officers.

In the middle of the school grounds, a huge stage was set up.

Emperor Hongzhi entered Wengcheng surrounded by people, and was stunned when he saw the stage.

Stage?

Did I come all this way to listen to your opera, Fang Jifan?

Emperor Hongzhi was a little confused. He glanced sideways at Fang Jifan, his eyes even more suspicious.

Fang Jifan said with a smile: “Your Majesty, the show is about to begin. I will keep it to your satisfaction.”
