The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1695

[1695. Chapter 1612 The king’s heart is unpredictable]

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi felt that it was reasonable and said: “Yes, you don’t trust the people you employ, and you don’t use the people you doubt.”

Then he lowered his head to look, and behind the regulations, there was a series of lists.

The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the mobilization of the flying ball camp, as well as a number of flying balls, as well as words such as the latest bombs. As for other grains, cans, ordnance, there were countless other items.

Emperor Hongzhi felt emotional again.

This is just what Fang Jifan called a ‘small action’, but this small action requires a lot of money and food.

If it were a nationwide expedition, I’m afraid the number would be more than a hundred times this.

Emperor Hongzhi said: “Some of the money and food needed will come from the national treasury, and some from internal funds. In this charter, the successor vassal said that he is also willing to contribute, so there is no need. This is a state matter, not a family matter. This is Jiang Chen, Wang Xizuo and others from the Northern Province, as well as the military commander Zhou Kai and other ordinary soldiers, are all ministers of our Ming Dynasty. Their lives are uncertain and their situation is critical. There is no reason why our Ming Dynasty should not rescue them.

” He waved his hand and said: “This matter is discussed here. Xishan, the Navy, and the Flying Ball Camp should prepare early.”

At this point, Emperor Hongzhi sighed: “I know that I will go there this time. “

The soldiers rushing to rescue, as well as Tang Yin, Liu Wenshan and others, will definitely escape death. They are all loyal and good, and they are the pillars of our Ming Dynasty. I really can’t bear to let them die, but… now that they have volunteered, I I am also in a dilemma. Now that I have given them permission, if they can return in triumph, I…will personally welcome them back in triumph. “

Emperor Hongzhi seemed touched.

Whether it was Tang Yin or Liu Wenshan, these two people may have volunteered because of their junior brother Jiang Chen.

But so what? Even if they stay in the capital, they can still enjoy wealth and wealth based on their past achievements.

This group of scholars who came from Xishan were all new-born calves who were not afraid of tigers. They put their own lives at risk and were so wise and courageous that they were particularly favored by Emperor Hongzhi.

Immediately, Emperor Hongzhi took a deep look at Fang Jifan.

Then, he first kept his expression, and then dismissed Liu Jianren and others.

Wait for Liu Jian and others to leave.

Emperor Hongzhi then straightened his face and said with a slightly stern look in his eyes: “I’m just going to find you. You’re usually pretty steady in doing things. Why did you imitate the prince’s behavior?”

Fang Jifan looked confused and thought to himself, “What’s wrong with the prince? “

Now, I think besides being a little bad-tempered, a little low on emotional intelligence, a little reckless in doing things, and my father-in-law has a lot more people, he is still pretty good.

Fang Jifan didn’t know what happened, but he knew that His Majesty had rejected Liu Jian and others. He must have done something to offend His Majesty, and he wanted to teach him a lesson in private because his family’s scandal should not be publicized.

Fang Jifan did not hesitate, and immediately said: “Your Majesty is furious. My son must be guilty of tens of thousands of deaths. I am frightened and beg your Majesty to punish me.”

I don’t want to ask what the matter is. I will confess my crime first.

Don’t hit the smiling person with your hand.

When Emperor Hongzhi saw Fang Jifan acting like this, most of his anger… disappeared.

But then, he still frowned and said, “How can you let Master Wang raise pigs?”

Fang Jifan: “…”

was silent for a moment.

Fang Jifan let out a howl like a killing pig: “Your Majesty, heaven and earth can teach you, I am wronged, this is his own request, he must raise pigs, I did not expect that the prince has such a special hobby, he If you want to raise pigs, how can you stop me?”

Fang Jifan looked aggrieved, but Emperor Hongzhi’s face was dark, and he sighed: “Among the masters in Zhan Shifu, only Master Wang is left. He has never done anything wrong. He taught me how to read, and then he served as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He was a very popular minister, but he was a man of integrity and integrity. He never fought for power or participated in the disputes in the court. Even if I wanted a new deal, he had no idea. Even if we are not at peace, he can understand my difficulties and know that I have my own reasons for doing this. Therefore…he has not said a word of complaint for so many years. Now that he has become a scholar, he is raising pigs. This must be Did you offend him somewhere, or maybe… I went too far with some things. He wanted to say it, but he couldn’t say it. He was afraid that what he said would trigger those who opposed me to use it as an excuse, so… that’s why… Just give up on yourself and insult your own elegance. “

When Emperor Hongzhi said this, he couldn’t help but sigh.

There were tears in his eyes.

This is his only remaining master.

Moreover, Wang Ao really couldn’t find a single thorn in his body.

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and added: “But I also know that there have been many abuses in the past 150 years of the Ming Dynasty. In order to eliminate these abuses, I must strictly implement the New Deal. Some things may be excessive, but they are in vain.” It must be too correct, and it must not make Master Wang feel cold. Successor, you must handle this matter properly, and you must not attract any gossip. Everyone in the world is looking at me and Master Wang. I don’t want it. In the future, someone will use Master Wang to make false accusations against me. I don’t want Master Wang’s reputation to be ruined. Can you… understand what I’m thinking?”

Fang Jifan said hurriedly: “I understand.”

“It’s good that you understand.” Emperor Hongzhi glared at Fang Jifan: “Now, please ask Master Wang to go home immediately and stop raising pigs.”

“Oh.” Fang Jifan nodded simply.

……………………

There are many pigs in Xishan now.

After all, there are many farmers and breeding farms here.

Shunchenghao Breeding Farm is run by the canteen in Xishan and is responsible for supplying meat to the canteen.

Now… there are more than thirty pigs in this large pigsty, but all the big pigs that are about to be slaughtered have left, and the only ones left behind are the piglets.

There are pig houses, pig pens, and rooms dedicated to pig shepherds.

As soon as you get close, it smells terrible.

Because it is close to the playground, many tourists can see it from a distance.

And now… Wang Ao and Zhou Tanzhi are both dressed in short attire.

Zhou Tanzhi was panting from exhaustion and sweating profusely. He was chasing a pig so anxiously that his eyes were red. He shouted: “Fang Sifan, if you dare to run away again, I will beat you to death today. You are like this.” Damn pig, cough cough… cough cough…”

Maybe he had been running for a long time, and he felt some pain in his waist. He couldn’t run any longer. He was panting heavily, and his whole body was like a bellows.

Then he fell down exhaustedly on the ground covered with dry and hard feces, covering his waist with his hands.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Ao was seen behind, yelling angrily: “Don’t chase the poor bandits, don’t chase the poor bandits, Zian, don’t you understand this truth? Hey, when you were by my side, I had no shortage of Teaching by words and deeds, why are you still so stupid until now? There is a saying in the art of war: surround an enemy with ten, attack it with five, and divide it with ten. If the enemy is small, you can fight it, if it is small, you can escape, and if it is small, you can avoid it. . Therefore, the strength of the small enemy can be captured by the big enemy.”

Wang Ao then scolded: “In this circle, there are pigs from one vassal, two vassals, to thirty-seven vassals, and you and I are nothing.” Two people, just two people, controlled thirty-seven pigs, especially the four feudal clans, who are the most cunning. They are so cunning, even worse than a certain prince, how can we use barbarity to win? Don’t chase him. Come back. Are you ready for the pigweed? You idiot, use the pigweed to lure the enemy.”

After hearing this, Zhou Tanzhi suddenly became angry and felt that what his teacher said was very reasonable.

It is better to lure the enemy than to use barbarity.

So he tapped his waist twice with his hands, stood up, dusted off his buttocks, and ran to prepare pigweed.

The pigweed was prepared, but a group of piglets were lazily scattered around the pig pen and did not come to eat.

Zhou Tanzhi became anxious: “I’m getting more and more lazy. I don’t get up until three o’clock in the morning. I won’t eat any pig grass. How can I feed them?”

Zhou Tanzhi has a very bad temper.

The good-looking Minister of Rites in Nanjing was actually punished to feed pigs here.

Not only that, but his mentor was also implicated.

The future is gone, and even the gentleness is gone.

If his mentor hadn’t told him to calm down, he would rather die than deal with these pigs.

These pigs are really annoying.

Wang Ao fell into deep thought.

Not because of anything else.

It’s because he is Zhou Tanzhi’s teacher.

As a teacher, when you encounter a problem, how can you not think about it?

He leaned on his stick, looked up at the sky, and muttered: “All things have spirits. Even though pigs are stupid, they also have spirits. Since they have spirits, how can they not be the same?” What’s the reason for eating? Since they don’t eat, there must be some reason. I think they are running so fast. It’s definitely not because of illness. Then… what’s the reason? “

Just as he was talking, someone came in a hurry and said: ” The Duke of Qi is here, the Duke of Qi is here, hurry up and drive that pig away.”

Wang Ao’s thoughts were interrupted.

When he heard that Fang Jifan was coming, Wang Ao immediately straightened his back, hurriedly went to find a crutch, and put his weight on the crutch.

Zhou Tanzhi lowered his head and remained silent. He didn’t want to raise pigs anymore.

Fang Jifan is here, what does he want to do?

Could it be that… you still want to insult yourself?

After a while, Fang Jifan came holding his nose.

A group of people behind him surrounded him, carefully protecting the father-in-law.

Fang Jifan was happy when he saw Wang Ao’s disgraced look. He stepped forward and asked, “How is your prince?”

Wang Ao said coldly, “Whether he is good or not has nothing to do with the Duke of Qi.”

You see, Wang Ao is indeed a civil servant .

The minister is so upright even when he speaks.

Fang Jifan smiled and said: “Your Majesty, I came here this time to invite you to come out. You see…it stinks here. Why should the prince suffer like this? I heard…that the Wang family is already in chaos. Come on, prince, come on, let’s take a bath first, then we’ll light up the stove, eat some beef or something, and talk slowly if we have anything to say,

okay

? Banana sat next to me, and he told me earnestly not to update so quickly. I almost fell into his trap. Tiger thought about it and decided to code it carefully. Today’s update is late, sorry. (Just kidding)
