The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1633

[1633. Chapter 1553 Great Contribution to the Dynasty]

Chen Tong could not help feeling despair.

He never expected that his situation would be so miserable.

There are so many impeachment memorials, but His Majesty chose this one.

How could he not know that what Liu Kaizhi played was exactly what His Majesty wanted?

This Liu Kaizhi is really vicious, and he wants to put him to death.

Chen Tong could no longer hold on, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Chen Tong and remained silent for a long time, seemingly giving Chen Tong a chance to argue.

Chen Tong’s heart… was bitter.

How can I defend myself?

Could it be that all this dirty water was poured back on His Highness the Crown Prince in full view of the public?

If so, wouldn’t it be disloyal and unfilial?

What’s more… His Highness the Crown Prince is also kind to me. He also greeted his family a few days ago. If he bites His Highness the Crown Prince at this time, wouldn’t it be unfaithful and unfilial?

Chen Tong just knelt like this, gritting his teeth and sulking. Be silent.

Emperor Hongzhi looked around. In fact, he had a very bad impression of Chen Tong, so… Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t bear it any longer and said sternly: “In that case, then the truth can be said to have come to light…”

At this moment…

“Your Majesty…” Fang Jifan suddenly cheered up and stood up.

In fact, if Chen Tong dared to bite the prince or himself at this time, it shows that Chen Tong still has some backbone. How could Fang Jifan sit back and ignore him at this time?

The so-called cheating and harming others is just a joke.

Fang Jifan is a moral person.

He is a light.

At this moment… amidst everyone’s astonishment, Fang Jifan continued: “What your Majesty said about the Crown Prince, is it the rumor that His Highness the Crown Prince played monkey tricks?”

The officials remained silent.

Everyone seems to be more of a spectator. Anyway, those who should be impeached have been impeached. It is up to His Majesty to decide how to deal with it.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan and nodded: “That’s right.”

Fang Jifan said, “There are rumors that His Highness the Prince is playing monkey tricks, but who has actually seen the Prince playing monkey tricks?”

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

The officials, who had the mentality of watching a show, were also stunned.

However, Liu Kaizhi couldn’t help but said: “I saw it.”

Fang Jifan was happy and said with a smile: “The pole is so high, you can really see it clearly. Are you sure it is the prince?”

No matter how you hear this, it sounds a bit mocking.

Liu Kaizhi: “…”

He didn’t expect that Fang Jifan would suddenly come out to speak,

but this time, even Liu Kaizhi didn’t dare to confirm.

After all, at first, he only heard that the prince was about to perform a monkey trick, so he determined that the prince was on the pole.

But is he the prince?

Fang Jifan said calmly: “Your Majesty, the prince was clearly behind the mall, settling accounts with me, so why did he suddenly climb on the pole? The person who climbed the pole was just an actor invited by me, and the prince What does it have to do with Your Majesty? If Your Majesty doesn’t believe it, I can invite the actor. I can guarantee that Your Majesty will understand it when he sees it.”

Suddenly, the palace was in an uproar.

Thinking about it this way, it is really possible that he is not the prince.

But Emperor Hongzhi’s face was still not very good, and he frowned and said: “If that’s the case, then why were there so many rumors before, saying that this person is the prince.”

Fang Jifan said confidently: “The mouth grows on other people’s bodies. How do you know, maybe someone wants to frame the prince and your ministers, or maybe Chen Tong. Your Majesty also knows that the prince, especially your ministers, have offended many people in order to support your majesty, and they are eager to eat them. Your Majesty’s flesh is my skin, I don’t resent this, but these people actually slandered the Crown Prince. I have something to say. I beg Your Majesty to clearly understand the details and not to tell the truth behind this. The person who slandered the prince cannot be found out, and I also want to see who the traitors are. “

As soon as these words came out, although there was silence in the palace, more people looked at Fang Jifan with cold eyes.

He said he didn’t know, but Fang Jifan, that bitch, never made a draft of his lies.

Isn’t it you, Fang Jifan, who broke the news? Who else could it be?

To be honest, if someone is really trying to frame His Highness the Crown Prince, I’m afraid that the person who wants to frame him will not be able to think of the Prince playing monkey tricks even if he tries hard. Only you, Fang Jifan, can think of such nonsense. thing.

But no matter what, Fang Jifan at least had an explanation that was unreasonable but could be explained in the past.

This… somewhat tests the IQ of the emperor and ministers.

But there are also people who are enjoying themselves. In fact, His Majesty obviously intends to protect the Crown Prince and the Duke of Qi.

But unfortunately, Qi Guogong is still making excuses at this time. Isn’t this just hitting the muzzle of the gun?

It would be strange if His Majesty believed your lies.

Emperor Hongzhi probably also felt that his IQ had been insulted.

He was not angry because Fang Jifan was his son-in-law after all, and he knew that no matter what Fang Jifan did, even if there were mistakes, his intentions were good.

But such arguments are getting darker and darker, which is to deceive the king and ignore the superior.

Emperor Hongzhi said with a straight face: “Really? Do you really want me to get to the bottom of it?”

Fang Jifan then smiled slightly: “Your Majesty is the only emperor through the ages. In the whole world, in all dynasties, there is no one more sage than your Majesty. Even if the three emperors and five emperors are reborn, , It is not as good as your Majesty’s. Since your Majesty ascended to the throne, your monarch and ministers have been respectful and harmonious. He is truly a saint of saints. Even in five thousand years, it is difficult for someone to be able to understand everything clearly and repay his children and ministers. A fair one. “

These words… made the person say it dizzy, but Emperor Hongzhi was still livid, feeling that Fang Jifan today was too glib.

Fang Jifan immediately said: “Furthermore, I have to step back ten thousand steps. Even if Chen Tong is a dog… No, Chen Tong really spread some rumors. I thought… This is also the reason why Chen Tong hopes to do his best to run errands for His Highness the Crown Prince. At most, it’s just a bad thing done with good intentions, it’s not a big mistake. “

Fang Jifan suddenly changed the subject, making everyone a little confused.

Chen Tong: “…”

I thought I had a chance of survival just now, but unexpectedly, at this time, the Qi Guild came forward and begged for mercy for myself. But who would have known that His Majesty only said that he really wanted me to investigate thoroughly, and he backed down and took ten thousand steps back. He had no way to retreat. This is really over, and he will die!

Emperor Hongzhi was also somewhat unexpected. Today, Fang Jifan actually deliberately spoke for Chen Tong.

He said calmly: “So, it really was Chen Tong who did it? Even if the prince didn’t get on the pole, the rumors are related to him?”

“I can’t guarantee it,” Fang Jifan said.

Chen Tong: “…”

He was desperate.

Emperor Hongzhi opened his mouth to say something.

But he heard Fang Jifan say again: “But this Chen Tong has made great achievements in planning the construction of the shopping mall.”

Great achievements…

Many people looked at each other.

Liu Kaizhi was a little anxious and impeached himself. As the saying goes, there is no turning back.

In fact, he did not expect that the Qi Guo Guild would suddenly defend Chen Tong, although this defense was relatively weak.

Of course he didn’t want to offend Duke Qi, but at this time, he still couldn’t help but want to add insult to injury: “Your Majesty, I really can’t imagine what credit this mall has. According to what I heard last night, the business in the mall is indeed good, but after all… he is just a Although you earn a lot of money from business, according to rumors, the net profit of five hundred taels a day is certainly a lot, but what does it have to do with merit? “

Emperor Hongzhi nodded as he listened.

He has an estimate of the mall’s profits.

Don’t think that because I stay in the Daming Palace, I don’t know what’s going on outside. I have calculated these accounts clearly.

He was slightly disappointed with the opponent’s successor’s performance today.

Originally, he held this noon court meeting to blame all the blame from the world on Chen Tong. Chen Tong did have evil intentions and ruined the prince’s mind. Moreover, this person has always been unfavorable in doing things, and now he has caused such a big problem. , how can you spare him lightly?

Is it because he earns hundreds of taels of silver for the prince every day that I forgive him for such a serious mistake? Such a person can no longer stay in the workshop, nor can he stay with the prince.

Fang Jifan said at this time: “Wrong, five hundred taels is just on the surface, but in fact, the monthly profit can reach one million taels of silver, or even… millions of taels of silver!” “

…”

Buzz…

The expressions of the ministers changed and they suddenly boiled.

Millions or even millions per month?

And look at this tone…it seems to be very conservative.

What is this concept?

Wouldn’t this… again exceed the current revenue of the national treasury?

Emperor Hongzhi was also stunned, he was confused.

“Just one shopping mall?” The words were indeed unbelievable.

Fang Jifan said sternly: “Your Majesty, this shopping mall is enough. Fortunately, I have worked hard these days, forgetting to eat and sleep, working day and night… Well, of course, Chen Tong also deserves credit, Your Majesty… Although this is just a shopping mall, Your Majesty Have you ever thought about it, what if there are shopping malls of different sizes all over the world? “

“Originally, I didn’t want the business of Xingguo Company to be leaked at this time, but for this reason, I might as well just tell the truth. Your Majesty, just last night, with this shopping mall, a total of 1,732 merchants took out 9.7 million taels of real gold and silver and delivered the goods ordered by Xingguo Company. …This is just the beginning…”

As he said that, Fang Jifan took out an account book from his sleeve: “This is the account from last night. The prince and his ministers have been busy all night, just to calculate this account, my ministers. I just happened to bring it, and I beg your Majesty to take a look at it. “

There are even accounts…

and… did someone really send nearly ten million taels of silver to Xingguo Company?

At

this time… everyone felt like they were going crazy.

Why is it always so easy for them to make money?

Zhu Houzhao showed an imperceptible smile at this moment.

And Emperor Hongzhi actually felt a little weak, overnight…?

I stayed up late and wrote two chapters, delivered them together, and went to sleep for a while first.
