The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1690

[1690. Chapter 1607 Yan Dao Ming Song]

Jifan watched Wang Ao clutching his heart in pain and breathing heavily. His skinny body was crumbling, as if he was about to fall to the ground and die at any moment.

Fang Jifan was stunned.

The reason why he was confused was not because Wang Ao, an old and shameless person who could be considered a respectable person, actually played such a dirty trick.

But…he actually dared to come to Fang’s house to play this trick.

Fang Jifan was stunned and saw that Wang Ao’s face began to turn red, like Guan Gong, and then his body continued to tremble and tremble. Wang Ao said in his mouth: “The Duke of Qi… The Duke of Qi… I… I…”

Fang Jifan finally came back to his senses. When he came, his eyes widened immediately and he shouted: “Prince, you just said that you are a respectable person.”

Wang Ao said breathlessly: “Zhou Tanzhi has been dismissed from office, and he is no longer in trouble with the Duke of Qi. He has received the response .”

There is some punishment. This person is a disciple whom I value highly. His honor and disgrace have no impact on the Duke of Qi. Why bother to press hard and make him humble? Scholars, the most important thing is reputation. “

Fang Jifan gritted his teeth and said, “The prince is doing too much to bully others.

It’s just that I have nothing to do. I came here today and made a plan. Either I ask the Duke of Qi to show my kindness, or I die here. Well, I am already eighty-six years old, and my death is not unjust. But…if I die of anger, Your Majesty still has some old feelings for me. When the time comes, I’m afraid…”

Fang Jifan gritted his teeth .

, glared at Wang Ao fiercely: “Old man, are you threatening me?”

Wang Ao immediately said: “This is not a threat, this is involuntary.”

“…”

Wang Ao can almost compete with Liu Jian and others The equally famous person had a very high reputation in the Hongzhi Dynasty, and this person was almost impeccable.

Because of this, even if Fang Jifan disagrees with his ideas, and even His Majesty’s current ideas do not agree with his, everyone in the world respects him.

Some people are like this. You may disagree with their views, but you have to admire them.

Now this guy… made it clear that in order to force Fang Jifan to submit, he had a life-or-death attitude.

I have to say, this move is very powerful.

Because Zhou Tanzhi’s departure did not affect Fang Jifan’s fundamental interests. Even if he stopped raising pigs, Fang Jifan would have no loss.

But if Wang Ao really died here, people all over the world would inevitably talk about it, and even Emperor Hongzhi would want to find out the true cause of this incident.

This will bring a lot of trouble to Fang Jifan.

So… Wang Ao seemed to be convinced of Fang Jifan. Although he looked as if he was going to die, his face was a bit unbearable and he was almost smiling.

It had been a long time since Fang Jifan had been so angry by someone, and he said in a deep voice: “No one in this world can threaten me, Fang Jifan!”

Wang Bio said: “Qi Guogong, you can figure it out.”

Fang Jifan glanced around, Then he quickly walked to the corner, and then he raised the candlestick. Although it was daytime, the Fang family had money, so the lights were still lit in the hall.

Fang Jifan raised the candle made of whale oil and shouted loudly: “Okay, you die, you die, show me. I just think this house is old, so I will burn it down to get rid of it.” Son, build a big house.”

Wang Ao was stunned.

Is this mind jumping too fast? Really… I have never seen someone burn down his own house.

Fang Jifan then shouted: “If a house as big as mine burned down, it’s impossible for him to burn it down. Whoever burned it must be an assassin. Is there anyone who hates me, Fang Jifan, itching his teeth recently? I’ll find out once I check. Come on.” “Old man, you go die and I’ll burn it. I have a lot of money, but you only have one life.”

Wang Ao’s face darkened.

As Fang Jifan spoke, he moved his hand, and the candle light was about to move under the curtain at the edge of the hall.

“Can’t burn it.” Wang Ao roared fiercely.

As he spoke, he vigorously threw away his crutch, rushed over, and pulled Fang Jifan’s sleeve: “Qi Guogong, wait a minute, you can’t do it, you can’t do it.”

Last time in Nantong, a house burned down. What was the result?

As a result, the whole world believed that the Confucian scholars were responsible. Not only did His Majesty depose the stereotyped writings in anger, taking away the honors of the scholars, countless gentry in the world went bankrupt, and the scholars became street rats, and the world was shocked. Countless people have suffered greatly.

But Fang Jifan made a fortune.

This time, if we burn something again and go through all this trouble again, will these eight-legged Confucian scholars still have a chance to survive?

Wang Ao is old and has difficulty adapting. He cannot absorb and digest new knowledge, and still stubbornly clings to the Four Books and Five Classics. How can he bear to let the gentry and scholars suffer twice and suffer twice?

His eyes were so anxious that his eyes were red. This bitch named Fang could really do anything!

Wang Ao’s heart was already a little confused. He grabbed Fang Jifan and refused. Fang Jifan burned the candles on the curtains and shouted: “I can’t do it, I can’t do it. Duke Qi, if you have something to say, please talk to us. We can still be reasonable.

” He glared coldly and said arrogantly: “What are you talking about? I have nothing to talk about with you. Aren’t you going to die? Come on, either you die or I die.”

Wang Ao’s face was ashen and shriveled. His lips trembled for a long time before he took a slight step back and calmly saluted Fang Jifan: “Qi Guogong, I have just been offended. I take my leave. I… will also follow Zhou Tanzhi to raise pigs. Goodbye.”

He turned around, did not pick up the crutches on the ground, and walked away quickly, never looking back.

Fang Jifan then put the candle back on the candlestick and breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn’t help but said: “What a risk, what a risk. I almost lost my house.”

Wang Ao… is he really going to raise pigs?

Fang Jifan was a little confused.

………

Two days later, this is the day when almost all the officials are eager to find a piece of tofu and kill them.

Because today… I have to enter the Chongwen Hall to teach Ming Song.

In their eyes, the book Ming Song has no research value.

Although Fang Jifan’s words were high-sounding, they were scholar-bureaucrats, after all, they were not villagers.

Therefore, during these two days, there were so many people asking for leave and they didn’t want to go.

However, Emperor Hongzhi refused.

So, everyone had to tidy up early in the morning, and entered the palace dejectedly, silently arriving at Chongwen Hall.

Fang Jifan also arrived very early. He looked very happy. This was the most glorious moment in his life!

In my previous life, I never dreamed that my literary talent could be placed in the era of Ming dynasty scholars and Confucian scholars, and that I could enter the emperor’s temple and be on par with Zizhi Tongjian, and become a subject for the emperor to study.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to feel that this was not enough, and personally ordered Zhu Houzhao to enter the palace together.

Zhu Houzhao has been thinking about mathematics recently, because the deeper he studies, he realizes that mathematics is the foundation of all science and engineering. Therefore, looking back, he writes calculations all day long, including the latest formulas developed by the college, He had read all the algorithms and new formulas and did various questions every day. Now that his father summoned him, he had to come very reluctantly.

There was another person who came with me.

This person was invited by Fang Jifan from Yongping Mansion, and his name was Chen Shisan.

I heard that this person was the most proficient in Ming song, so I specially recruited him to the capital.

Chen Shisan never expected that a book would change his destiny.

Now he has become the brightest and most dazzling rising star of literature and music in the village. After that, he actually went to Datianting.

He followed Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao step by step, looking left and right, feeling nervous, timid, and excited at the same time.

Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne and received the salutes of all officials.

Seeing this scene, Chen Shisan was stunned and stood there in a daze, as if he was in a daze.

Emperor Hongzhi immediately saw Chen Shisan. He was teaching this Ming Ode today. On the surface, it was Emperor Hongzhi who had some intention. As the saying goes, the emperor is listening to Ming Ode here today. I am afraid that it won’t be long before the news spreads. It is indispensable all over the world. Parents and officials in every state in the world must follow suit.

But at the same time, Emperor Hongzhi’s real purpose was to know whether this book was really as useful to ordinary people as Fang Jifan said.

This is also the reason why Fang Jifan petitioned Chen Shisan to come to the palace to see him, and Emperor Hongzhi immediately agreed.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Chen Shisan with his eyes. Although Chen Shisan was wearing new clothes, his exposed dark skin color and his wrinkled face like old elm wood made it almost certain that Chen Shisan must have eaten… A lot of pain, he was obviously wearing clothes made of new fabric, and the new clothes did not fit him well.

Emperor Hongzhi asked: “You are Chen Shisan?”

This voice was particularly prominent in the palace. Chen Shisan finally reacted and knelt down with a pop: “I have seen the emperor, long live the emperor… “

He lowered his head tremblingly, frightened and at a loss what to do.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: “Excuse me, have you ever read a book before?”

Chen Shisan shook his head: “To answer your Majesty’s question, I have never read a book. My family has been poor since I was a child and I cannot afford to study…”

Emperor Hongzhi asked After taking a breath, he immediately said: “So, can you recognize the characters?”

“I think you can recognize a few.” Chen Shisan said honestly: “I only recognize some of the simplest ones. I just recognize them. I can’t write them. That’s it.” They were all learned by word of mouth during daily work or during festivals. I am already thirty-two years old. I am really ashamed. I could only recognize a hundred words in the past, but I have made progress recently. I can barely There can be about two hundred words.”

Emperor Hongzhi immediately cheered up when he heard this.

He stood up. To be honest, Chen Shisan should be the least knowledgeable among the people who have taken the exam in his life. He has come into contact with many Jinshi and Confucian scholars in the past. Even a noble disciple will definitely be able to read and judge. Character.

Therefore Emperor Hongzhi is particularly interested now.
