The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1590

[1590. Chapter 1511 The Kingdom of Brothers]

The Kingdom of Brothers The Zhenguo Mansion… sent…

Fang Jifan never expected that Zhu Houzhao would have such courage.

This town’s national government is now, to a certain extent, like a small imperial court.

Completely independent from the Cabinet and the Six Ministries.

But he has the power to completely handle many specific matters.

The Ministry of Households is in charge of the world’s money and food, but the Zhenguo Mansion is in charge of the banks, and the Ministry of War is in charge of the world’s soldiers and horses. Under the Zhenguo Mansion, there is a Feiqiu camp and an armed guard…

Whoever controls the Zhenguo Mansion has become the official Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Fang Jifan was busy shaking his head at Zhu Houzhao.

“It’s too troublesome, not to mention this thing. What’s the point of asking for it? No, no.”

Zhu Houzhao was anxious and said hurriedly.

“This palace is just a state-controlled palace. If you want to bet, it must be a state-controlled palace. Otherwise, you can take the dozens of Taishans in this palace and give them all to you.”

Fang Jifan trembled, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. After twitching and groaning for a long time, he spoke to Zhu Houzhao seriously.

“Your Highness, I have decided to take Zhenguo Mansion as my bet. If I lose, tell me how much money Your Highness wants.”

Zhu Houzhao didn’t expect Fang Jifan to be so willing.

This was something he didn’t expect.

Zhu Houzhao always looked down upon those Confucian scholars.

How can such a group of guys who only know how to chatter accomplish anything?

Hey hey…

win for sure.

Zhu Houzhao said: “Then it’s settled.”

“It’s settled!” Fang Jifan was also confident.

He believed in Confucian scholars.

Thousands of years of hard work have created a group of people who are most suitable for the monarch, and they are bound to gain the monarch’s absolute trust.

He trusted Prince Suleiman more.

Prince Suleiman’s talents and strategies were originally one of the great monarchs in the agricultural feudal society, who was as famous as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Such a person… Once the Confucian scholars provide him with a new line of governing the country, he will definitely implement it unswervingly. As for the Kasha below, who want to oppose it, they grew up in a cruel court, and for a time Suleiman the Magnificent, who had been tempered for a long time as Kasha, would definitely wipe out all these opponents.

The combination of Suleiman the Magnificent and the Confucian scholars was simply a powerful alliance.

The penetration of Eastern culture into the West is about to begin.

Soon… Fang Jifan finally met the legendary Prince Suleiman.

Prince Suleiman was different from what Fang Jifan imagined. He was a very quiet young man.

He was actually wearing a Confucian shirt and politely saluted Fang Jifan: “Hello.”

Fang Jifan was a little confused when he heard the accented Chinese.

He nodded in return: “Hello, Your Highness.”

Suleiman was also looking at Fang Jifan.

He had heard a little bit about Fang Jifan. He was the favorite of the Ming Emperor and the emperor’s son-in-law. From the perspective of Confucianism, this person… was called Nie Chen.

Of course… this person is not without ability and influence at all, but unfortunately, he is not on the right path, is a deviant, and is known for his perverse personality.

Suleiman thought to himself that the study of saints always targets the favored ministers and sycophants who are attached to the emperor. The person in front of him must be a complete sycophant.

If this man is my son-in-law, I will definitely put him to death without hesitation.

Of course… killing one’s son-in-law is actually nothing to the Ottomans.

After all, Suleiman’s father had all his uncles and brothers and sisters executed.

The only surprising thing is that the emperor seems to be willing to let a group of Confucian scholars return to the west with him. This is good news.

“His Royal Highness Duke Qi…”

He addressed Fang Jifan as His Highness. Obviously, he did not understand the title of Ming Dynasty thoroughly enough.

Fang Jifan frowned slightly and looked at him carefully. He was obviously a little concerned about him calling him “Your Highness”. However, Fang Jifan was informal and did not remind Suleiman of these red tapes.

However, Suleiman did not notice the change in Fang Jifan. Instead, he said, “I came here to pay my respects in the hope that…”

“I know.” Fang Jifan interrupted him.

This seemed very rude to Suleiman.

But Fang Jifan has always been like this. He has a brain disease, so what are you afraid of? You have to sympathize with me.

Fang Jifan calmed down and said to Suleiman.

“Your Majesty has already approved this matter. Your Majesty has heard of the Ottomans for a long time. After all, we all have a common enemy. Whether it is the Russians or the Francons, they are our serious worries. This time, Your Highness the Prince, “How many Confucian scholars are needed?”

Suleiman pondered for a moment: “How about one hundred…one hundred people…”

He stared at Fang Jifan, looking a little unsure.

There were too many people, and he was afraid of being flatly rejected by Fang Jifan, so he did not dare to ask for too many people.

Fang Jifan was happy.

“How can one hundred people be enough? The Ming Dynasty and the Ottomans are countries of brothers. Brother Suleiman, when I first saw you, I felt very friendly, just like a brother who has been separated for many years. You see, you have black eyes, and I also have black eyes. Eyes, isn’t this fate? I love making friends with you the most, three thousand…The Emperor of Ming Dynasty is willing to generously give three thousand Confucian scholars in your country.”

Suleiman’s heart skipped a beat, and his eyes widened in disbelief. looked at Fang Jifan.

Three thousand people, given to so many Confucian scholars at once?

Suleiman couldn’t help but frown, feeling a little unsure.

Could it be…do they have any plans?

He looked at Fang Jifan particularly seriously, and Suleiman began to think about all the rumors about Fang Jifan.

This person… loves money as much as his life.

This person…

he couldn’t help but shudder.

Could it be…

“But I don’t know how many gold coins His Highness the Duke of Qi wants us to give.”

Suleiman was fully prepared.

Fang Jifan shook his head and sighed: “Hey, gold coins… no, no, no, I told you before. We are brothers. When I met you, I was extra cordial. Now that we are brothers, what do you want with your gold and silver? I, Fang Jifan, will tell you I regard gold and silver as dung, and I will not accept a copper coin from you. This is my little thought, and I beg your Highness to accept it.”

Suleiman was shocked.

He suddenly felt that Fang Jifan was particularly cute.

“But… I, the Ming Dynasty, hope to rebuild the Silk Road and trade with the Ottomans by land. We hope that our caravan can set off from the capital and reach the Mediterranean… I don’t know, Your Highness…”

Suleiman became excited: “This is It’s just

a trivial matter. That’s what I came here for.”

“We are indeed brothers. Not only do we have dark eyes, we even have the same ideas.”

Fang Jifan stood up and patted Su affectionately. Lyman’s shoulders.

Three thousand…

Suleiman was so excited that he almost fainted.

“However… this matter should not be made public for the time being. Your Highness, you also know that although Your Majesty and I have a very good impression of His Highness, I am afraid that after the news comes out, it will be opposed by some people. You see …”

Suleiman patted his chest and assured: “Of course, please don’t worry, I will keep Brother Fang’s love and kindness in mind.”

At this time, the excited Suleiman began to call Fang Jifan brother. .

Fang Jifan looked at this generation of heroes and had an illusion in his heart.

Suleiman the Magnificent was a bit mentally retarded at this age.

Of course…it seems that both sides are working on their own ideas.

Fang Jifan had already taken Suleiman’s hand and said sincerely: “Brother Suleiman, we hit it off right away. Are you interested in staying for a light meal?”

“Brother Fang has such kindness, how dare you turn it down.”

During lunch , very rich, distilled wine, burning side stove, fine beef and mutton.

Zhu Houzhao came smelling the fragrance.

The three of them sat down. Zhu Houzhao looked at Suleiman. Seeing his happy face, he laughed in his heart. You are a rotten scholar that I despise, and you are a treasure. You fool, hehe…

Suleiman also looked at this person. The prince of the Ming Dynasty was also sneering in his heart. This prince is sitting on a treasure mountain, but he doesn’t know it. He is so stupid. Hehe.

Suleiman glanced at Zhu Houzhao: “Your Highness, are you plowing the fields recently?”

Zhu Houzhao nodded.

Suleiman said: “What’s so good about farming?”

Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth to say something.

Fang Jifan said: “Sage Confucius admired benevolent government. Of course, there is also farming in benevolent government. The so-called agriculture is the basis.”

Suleiman thought thoughtfully and suddenly said: “So, His Highness the Crown Prince also admires Confucianism?”

Zhu Houzhao wanted to say something again.

Fang Jifan said: “Of course, of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves to be called Xiao Zhu Xiucai, Xiucai Xiucai, isn’t this a Confucian?”

Suleiman suddenly realized.

However, he still felt that the prince’s farming was a bit unprofessional.

After just a few glasses of distilled wine, Suleiman couldn’t stand the extremely pure distilled wine. He suddenly became a little drunk. He clicked his tongue and said vaguely: “Three thousand Confucian scholars, three thousand Confucian scholars, enough to make me drunk.” …It makes me… Haha, Brother Fang, thank you for your kindness. You are the most generous person I have ever seen. I thought you would ask for gold and silver, but I never expected that you…” “

What? But Zhu Houzhao remained sober: “Three thousand Confucian scholars, and you won’t receive a single penny. What do you mean, are the Confucian scholars so worthless? Even if they are three thousand…”

Fang Jifan immediately covered Zhu Houzhao’s mouth: “Your Highness. , Your Highness… make friends, make friends, don’t say bad words…”

Zhu Houzhao still hesitated: “No… ah… I have to… um… no… I can’t… Old Fang, you took the wrong medicine. La…”

“Shh…” Fang Jifan made a silent gesture towards Zhu Houzhao, but Zhu Houzhao still refused: “Old Fang, how could you do such a thing…”

“Your Highness, we are all brothers…” Fang Jifan was very helpless and could only still cover Zhu Houzhao’s mouth.

…………

Fengtian Palace…

Xiao Jing whispered something in Emperor Hongzhi’s ears.

Emperor Hongzhi’s expression slowly turned pale.

Then…

his face turned green and white, and he said slowly: “I entrusted such a big thing to the successor, why did the successor just… just do that?”

“Invite him to the palace to pay an audience, immediately…”
