The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1660

[1660.Chapter 1578 Arriving in Beijing]

Li Juren felt like his brain was going to explode.

His home is close to the port.

So, I ran all the way.

When you get to the port, you can see a pier in front of you without having to distinguish it.

At this moment…he suddenly burst into tears.

Along the way, he actually saw a lot of scholars.

These scholars were his old classmates, or they had had a few acquaintances.

But at this time, Li Juren had no time to say hello.

He was panting all the way, but still felt a little unbelievable in his heart.

When he was out of breath and finally reached the crowd, he pushed forward with all his strength.

There were merchants nearby, local civil and military officials who heard the news, officers and soldiers, and it was really noisy.

Someone shouted: “Give way, everyone, beware of Xiaoxiao’s gang. Someone tried to kill Duke Qi before. Who knows if assassins will sneak in here.”

As a result, those people crowded in.

I’m scared, I’m really scared.

If he attempts another assassination, it will really be over.

The Duke of Qi was really here…

Li Juren was even more anxious outside the human wall. He tried his best to get in, and finally got in. Sure enough… he saw a young man, shouting and hugging. Accompanied by guards and civil and military officials.

This young man only had his hands behind his back, and he looked arrogant, like a general returning in triumph. He said politely: “I want to kill you all.”

Listen to this… Isn’t this man sick?

But…that’s right.

Isn’t it that Duke Qi Guo has a brain disease?

It’s really the Duke of Qi…

it’s him!

At this moment, Li Juren was so excited that hot tears fell from the corners of his eyes. His mind went blank. Looking at the handsome young man and his proud expression pointing at the spring breeze, Li Juren felt that his whole body was about to collapse. Crispy.

His body was mixed in the crowd, like a boat in the waves.

The next moment, a fire deep in my heart suddenly burst out.

Then, Li Juren moved towards Fang Jifan like crazy and pushed away the crowd.

Taking advantage of the gap between the guards, he rushed forward.

Fang Jifan was a little confused…

are you still coming?

But soon, Fang Jifan calmed down. He knew in his heart that in this flash of lightning, Wang Shouren was guarding him behind him.

The scholar in front of him obviously did not take out any murder weapon. He just rushed in front of Fang Jifan. Just when Wang Shouren was about to pinch his neck like electricity…

raging tears flowed out of Li Juren’s eyes. He hugged Fang Jifan and cried loudly: “Duke Qi… Duke Qi, you are still alive, God, it has eyes…”

Wang Shouren’s hand froze in the air for a moment, and then he took it back, but he still acted like Extremely alert.

Li Juren still cried: “Student…students are looking forward to your resurrection every day…I…I…student…You don’t know something, Mr. Qi Guo. Ever since this bad news came, students’ lives have changed.” , There is no way to survive. The family went to buy rice, but they refused to sell it. The policemen suddenly came to the door, and they all looked fierce. The student had a son and a daughter. The daughter’s marriage was also canceled. The son was beaten outside. …He was beaten beyond recognition. If Qi Guogong did not come back, the student would not be able to live, and the whole family would be better off dead. People outside said that it was a scholar like Qi Guogong who was unjust. The debt belongs to the owner, what is the relationship and involvement with a scholar who has such a duty as a student… Qi Guogong, Qi Guogong, only if you come back now, the student will have a way to live, you…”

He was truly moved, crying to death, hugging Fang Jifan, dying Refuses to let go.

The rest of the people became silent after hearing this.

Most of these Tianjin Wei officials were disciples and former officials of Tang Yin. Once the Duke of Qi died, their future became uncertain. Who wouldn’t feel anxious?

As for the merchants who came here, everything has fallen. Many people have gone bankrupt. Even those who are still supporting are on the verge of collapse, and they don’t know what will happen tomorrow.

Ordinary people are not affected!

So… someone took the lead, and everyone started to cry. Scholars, farmers, industry and merchants were all here, and they all burst into tears.

Actually… came back.

Everyone is saved.

The people standing here, no matter what their status is, are still flesh and blood after all. Ordinary people, no matter how noble they say on weekdays, they are still inseparable from their food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as their parents, wives and children. These days, Which one did not live in panic, and how many people were killed because of it.

It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Now… Fang Jifan’s return has made everyone feel like they are surviving a disaster.

It’s not that Fang Jifan came back from the dead, but that everyone survived the disaster.

Fang Jifan pushed Li Juren’s hand away, took a step back, and shouted with disgust: “Your snot is stuck on my face, get out of here, you bitch!”

Fang Jifan has always been so jealous of evil and so upright.

After Li Juren heard this, not only was he not angry, but he had a look of shame on his face. He burst into tears and prostrated himself in the tunnel, saying, “The student will die.”

When everyone heard the word “go away”, they felt happy again.

It has long been rumored that the Duke of Qi has an upright temperament and never hides it. Such true temperament has been rare in the world since ancient times. In fact, many people have never seen Fang Jifan. They just heard that he was and saw civil and military officials accompanying him, so they were skeptical. .

But now… with the word “go away”, it was like a big stone fell to the ground in their hearts. The joy and relief pouring out from the depths of their hearts suddenly made every cell in their bodies rejoice, just like the Chinese New Year.

Fang Jifan was not in a good mood. He quickly took out the handkerchief and wiped off the things on his body. He cursed angrily: “You blind bitch, my clothes are very expensive. Can you afford to pay for it? Isn’t that right?” You have to make me angry. My temper has gotten much better…”

Behind him, Wang Shouren glanced around and said worriedly: “Teacher, more and more people are gathering here. Teacher… we’d better go back immediately. Beijing is good.”

Fang Jifan nodded, but after thinking about it, seeing that many people were still moved, he immediately said softly: “Bo’an, there is a huge matter that involves the well-being of all people and the lives of countless poor people. The way out has to be done by you.”

Wang Shouren was stunned and looked at Fang Jifan in confusion.

The mentor is a generous person, and in a casual sentence, he is the common people and the country.

“Please teach me.”

Fang Jifan said cautiously: “Hurry up, ride a fast horse first, and rush to the capital. Of course, you must not let anyone know, especially the court. When you arrive in the capital, you must first find Wang Jinyuan. , Just tell him one thing, my master will be back soon, he will know what to do.”

Wang Shouren was stunned again: “Teacher, this…”

Fang Jifan sighed and said quietly: “In this world, it is so. Most of them are rich and ruthless dog thieves. They occupy wealth and are greedy. If they have one, they only think about two. They want to go to Shu, but they don’t know that the wine and meat in Zhumen are smelly, and there are frozen bones on the road. All this wealth is on this group of dogs. It is a waste of nature. Ah. Okay, there’s no time. You hurry up, my master will be here soon. We all have to drive faster, but… you have to go faster than our master. You can’t rest or dismount along the way. You have the best riding skills. , I value you the most, so I entrust you with such an important responsibility. Okay, don’t be nagging anymore, go quickly. When the time comes, you will understand my teacher’s good intentions.”

Wang Shouren’s daily thoughts. , not stupid, he vaguely guessed something.

Therefore, when he saw his mentor’s extremely anxious look, he was speechless.

But the division’s orders were like a mountain, and Wang Shouren no longer hesitated. He bowed to Fang Jifan and said, “Take care, mentor.”

Fang Jifan said boldly, “Don’t worry, our division is protected by seven or eight hundred sailors.”

Then Wang Shouren turned around resolutely, and soon he Disappeared in the crowd.

At this time…most people had only vaguely heard the news.

But in fact, not many people saw Fang Jifan alive and kicking with their own eyes, and even if they did, they were filled with thousands of emotions.

As for those who have not seen it in person, in fact… there are not many people who are willing to believe that Fang Jifan has returned from the dead.

After all, rumors have been flying all over the place for so many days. The various scenarios are that the Duke of Qi was resurrected, or that the Duke of Qi was not dead, or that someone saw the Duke of Qi enter the temple of immortals and become an immortal.

There are all kinds of rumors in this city.

Therefore… Although rumors of resurrection from the dead are everywhere in Tianjin Weili, in fact, not many people believe it.

Fang Jifan did not want to stay here, so he quickly got on the carriage and ordered his people to hurry up and rush towards the capital.

………

In Jingli, Si Qi was about to arrive at Fang Jifan.

The so-called forty-seven is based on seven days as a unit, including the first seven, the second seven, the third seven, the fourth seven, the fifth seven, and the seven sevens and forty-nine days.

In the first seven o’clock, Emperor Hongzhi went to pay homage in person and ordered people to recite the memorial inscription. It was so sad that Emperor Hongzhi burst into tears at that time, especially when he thought that Fang Jifan’s body was not alive, and when he thought about Fang Jifan’s usual voice and smile, he felt ashamed of his daughter. It actually gave birth to a feeling of self-blame.

Yes, if I hadn’t adopted Fang Jifan’s idea of abolishing stereotyped writing, how could this disaster have happened.

Fang Jifan did this entirely for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.

Such a loyal minister died tragically at the hands of a traitor. Is there anything more regrettable and tragic in the world?

Therefore, after the first seven days, Emperor Hongzhi fell seriously ill again. On the fourth seventh day, he felt better and issued an edict to go to pay homage.

Xiao Jing was very surprised by this and tried to persuade him: “Your Majesty has already been there, so why go again? Your Majesty’s dragon body is important…”

Emperor Hongzhi looked listless. He had not been in court for many days. , said calmly: “My most regretful thing is that there is no body left after the successor. The body is hairy and skinless, and it was inherited by my parents. The Fang family has been passed down for several generations. It took a lot of effort to get to him, and then it barely spread out. Who knows… He died young and God is unkind. Every time I think about this, I feel overwhelmed with sadness. I don’t know if Fang Jifan has a spirit in this world, whether it is in the mourning hall. After all, I still want to take advantage of it. Go and see more these days. If he is here and can look at me, what does my hard work mean?”
