The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1666

[1666. Chapter 1584 Sweeping the world’s wealth]

the World’s Wealth Many things in the world are always unexpected, just as no one expected that Fang Jifan would actually intercede for Liu Huiwen.

Moreover, Liu Huiwen committed such a serious crime… and was actually allowed by the emperor to undergo a joint trial of three divisions.

There will be a joint trial among the three departments.

Those involved are the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

And because the Metropolitan Procuratorate has a lot of clean hands, it is often the Metropolitan Procuratorate that takes the lead in determining the severity of the crime.

Liu Huiwen’s move probably won the sympathy of many people, and it is almost certain that the sentence will be too light.

Even Liu Jian, who has been in high and low officialdom for many years, probably already knows what will happen next.

The next three divisions will conduct a joint trial, and the final result must be a lighter sentence.

In fact, this is understandable. After all… no one wants their reputation to be damaged. Of course… the interrogating official did not necessarily want to save Liu Huiwen, but wanted to show a gesture. Anyway, he has done his best, and the case information If His Majesty is dissatisfied and demands a new conviction, it is another matter.

But the problem is, your majesty will have lost his temper by then, and the three-department trial has concluded, and he demands a lighter sentence. Will your majesty choose to overturn the result of the three-department trial? Do you have to kill Liu Huiwen?

The biggest trouble for people like Liu Huiwen is that his case itself is huge.

In addition, what he did was extremely controversial.

What the final result will be… is very unpredictable.

But besides Liu Jian, what more people were thinking about was why Duke Qi wanted to intercede for Liu Huiwen.

This dog-like thing has always been very bad.

…

Liu Huiwen knew that he was doomed, so he was immediately sent to prison. He had already prepared for the worst, and even expected that after arriving in prison, he would face severe torture. Elegance is lost.

But he seemed calm. When he decided to do this, he had thought about the consequences.

But not long after he was imprisoned, Liu Huiwen was given a license by Dali Temple and asked to leave.

Liu Huiwen looked surprised at first, but after all, he was an old minister who had served as an official for the New Year. He knew that something must have happened during the process. When he arrived at Dali Temple, he was quickly resettled.

Dali Temple has two responsibilities. On the one hand, it is to supervise the cases of the Criminal Department and review all serious cases to prevent the Criminal Department from making wrong cases. Another responsibility is to be responsible for handling certain imperial cases.

After Liu Huiwen arrived at Dali Temple, he was determined to die, but his heart suddenly became determined.

There is help.

In this posture, he was heading towards the meeting of the three divisions.

If there is a joint trial among the three departments, the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will definitely come forward to determine the case. There is no one in this temple who is not in agony over the abolition of the Eight-legged Legislation. The only resister in the world is him. Among these three departments, who Anyone who dares to convict him severely is a sinner in the eyes of Confucian scholars.

When he found out that it was Fang Jifan who was interceding for him, how could he think it was Fang Jifan’s kindness, but he sneered even more in his heart.

It seems that… Fang Jifan is also afraid. He has offended the people of the world by instigating His Majesty to do such a heartless thing. He must be in panic at this time, just like Shang Yang’s reform. Even if he can be arrogant for a while, this The general trend of the world, the cultural context of thousands of years, and the selection of scholars through the imperial examination for hundreds of years, can’t be said to be discontinued.

My heart is in my heart. Even if I am guilty of eternal death, I can do nothing.

Even if I die, a hundred years later, I will still be Wei Zheng and Bigan, shining brightly for all generations.

He was calm and prepared for the next trial.

………

Emperor Hongzhi did not return to the palace immediately. He withdrew all the officials and stayed in Fang Mansion.

Seeing that his son-in-law was fine, Emperor Hongzhi soon regained his smile despite the Liu Huiwen episode.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan and said, “I originally wanted to make you king, but who knew you came back safe and sound? It’s so… very good. It’s good to be back.”

I originally wanted to… make you king…

Fang Jifan’s eyes were wet Zhi, why didn’t you tell me earlier?

But judging by His Majesty’s tone, I’m afraid the prince has disappeared.

Fang Jifan felt sour in his heart, but he still said: “Your Majesty is so kind to me. I am really grateful. I am not interested in fame and fortune. As long as I can serve your Majesty wholeheartedly, I will go through fire and water.”

Emperor Hongzhi said happily: ” If everyone is like the Qing family, why should I be so sad all the time?” “By the way.” Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi: “But does your Majesty know what the stock market and the price of the mansion are at

this

time?”

Really, those words woke up the dreamer.

A few days ago, Emperor Hongzhi was in no mood at all and had no intention to care about anything. Now that he suddenly knew that his son-in-law was fine, he suddenly became concerned: “I only know that the stock price and the price of the mansion plummeted a few days ago. It’s awesome, but I don’t know what’s going on now.”

Fang Jifan said with a smile: “Your Majesty, I think it will be a great benefit after I know that I have returned to the capital. Your Majesty…I also heard that…there is a bank in Xishan. When the stock price plummeted, a large number of shares were repurchased. “

A large number of repurchases…

Not long ago, the stock price had fallen to the bottom, even only one-fifth or even tenth of the original market value. one.

In other words, Xishan Bank used the lowest price to repurchase a large number of stocks, and now…

In Xishan Bank, the palace holds the largest share, followed by Fang Jifan.

If that’s the case… then…

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned for a moment, and there seemed to be signs of ecstasy on his face, but then, the signs disappeared without a trace…

Emperor Hongzhi said solemnly: “The stock price goes up and down. The market value is not a big deal to me after all. It’s good to see you safe.”

Fang Jifan burst into tears with gratitude: “Your Majesty regards your Majesty as your son, and your Majesty also regards you as your father. My son… After this catastrophe, Being able to see your majesty again, I’m really… I’m filled with emotions… As for Erchen, this spring breeze is not as good as your majesty.”

Xiao Jing stood aside, originally cheerful, but when he heard this, his face changed. .

After all, Xiao Jing studied in the inner study.

If you chew it carefully, you will find that the second half of this sentence does have some meaning.

Ten Miles of Spring Breeze can be used as a metaphor for the spring breeze, and it can also mean the joy of life. However, these beautiful scenery and the joy of life are not as good as meeting His Majesty.

This piece of shit, he even composed a poem.

Xiao Jing’s heart hurt again.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: “Hey… I only have one son and one daughter, so I treat you as my own son.”

After saying that, he stood up, sighed and then said: “You are coming all the way back here. “It must be hard work. Xiu Rong has suffered a lot these days. I won’t stay here for a long time. You can have a good time together.”

After that, Emperor Hongzhi turned and left.

After leaving Fang’s house, there was already a car waiting outside.

The ministers all had complicated thoughts, but they did not dare to leave rashly. They were all waiting outside the Fang Mansion. However, at this moment, some people had begun to have their thoughts wandering. Why did they always feel… as if they had forgotten something important, as if they had forgotten something important? Something will happen.

Emperor Hongzhi thought of something, and suddenly turned around and said: “Where is the prince? Why didn’t the prince come with you?”

Xiao Jing said: “The prince…His Royal Highness has been staying in the Fang Mansion, happily, and the servant… is actually for His Highness. He winked

, but he turned a blind eye. “

Emperor Hongzhi glared and said angrily: “Go, take him out, why is he joining in the fun?”

Xiao Jing said tremblingly: “I don’t dare.”

” Alas…” Emperor Hongzhi sighed and shook his head: “I have given birth to a stupid son who is inhumane.”

As he said this, he prepared to board the carriage, but then ordered: “Send people to various dental clinics immediately. , and inquire about the latest market conditions in the exchange. I will report the latest market prices every half hour. “

Xiao Jing understood: “I obey the order.”

…

The news began to spread.

The Duke of Qi has returned to Beijing.

But at first, the news… didn’t cause any waves.

These days, everyone’s ears have been buzzing with rumors about Duke Qi’s return to Beijing.

At first, people still believed it. It can be seen that people in Xishan were still wearing sackcloth and wearing filial piety, so they knew it was all fake.

There is so much false news, naturally no one will believe it anymore.

But… in this market filled with mourners, a dark wave suddenly began to surge.

I don’t know where the funds came from, and I started to buy everything I could buy like crazy.

These days, although the market is being rescued and prices are slowly stabilizing, after all, the vast majority of people still have no confidence. Selling in the market… is a common phenomenon.

But soon… people noticed that the intensity of the fund repurchase actually began to increase. From the previous sell-off, they took some opportunities to buy some. Later, they began to become hungry for food, whether it was stocks, land, or Other assets are quickly wiped out as soon as they appear on the market.

Some people began to notice something unusual.

But it’s too late, after all… it takes time to mobilize funds.

What’s more… the current news is not clear, and the amount of ordinary hot money is too small. However, the really big businesses, because they are too large, do not pursue risks, so… they did not cause any waves.

But then… the news that Duke Qi returned to Beijing began to spread even more crazily.

There were even rumors that the mourning hall in Xishan had been removed, so many people who had doubts began to look around for information or go to Xishan for confirmation.

And next… when everyone realized that Qi Guogong really survived the catastrophe… the capital was boiling.

The Duke of Qi did not die. He was lucky enough to escape the fire. The reason why he kept his name anonymous was just to prevent the thieves from pursuing him later.

Big merchants were the first to get the accurate news.

These people… were already well-informed, and soon… they began to take action.

People gradually discovered that the market that had been ignored before suddenly began to pick up.
