The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 638

[638. Chapter 617 Grace]

Zhu Houzhao didn’t know what he was doing. He was always extremely interested in any nonsense.

As soon as Fang Jifan talked about Annan, he became energetic and his eyes lit up.

His father was afraid that something would happen to the world, and if anything happened, he would have trouble sleeping and eating.

But Zhu Houzhao was afraid that the world would not be chaotic. If nothing happened, he would feel listless.

As soon as he heard that the Zhenguofu Feiqiu Camp and the Beiwa Guards were attacking, he felt as if he was about to celebrate the New Year, but he also became worried: “But what if the Annan people don’t take action?”

Fang Jifan spread his hands: “Then forget it, I am a great Ming Deze all over the world. , Convince others with virtue, and have never been good at making provocations.”

Zhu Houzhao suddenly showed a look of disappointment, sighed, and clasped his hands together as if praying.

But at this time, a eunuch came and saw that the prince was also here. He seemed a little hesitant, but he still said bravely: “Dingyuan Marquis Fang Jifan accepted the order.”

Fang Jifan did not dare to hesitate. He went to Zhenguo Mansion, set up an incense table, and solemnly said. The eunuch

said, “I accept the decree.”

The eunuch held the imperial edict in his hand, opened it, and coughed: “The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven. The edict says: I inherit the order of heaven and govern all directions. Gai heard that Han Gao was granted the title of Xiao Xiang. The old favor is cherished. , Zhou Wu praised and established Hu Gong, and he was a relative and a relative, so he had the special respect of being a famous noble. After Zhongyi, he became a senior citizen in his youth. I am very relieved that now Guo has seized the position of Marquis Dingyuan from Qing Dynasty, and appointed Qing Dynasty as Prince Consort.

The way of husband and wife, the ethics of human relations, the importance of marriage in time, and the importance of etiquette. When an emperor’s daughter marries, she must choose the old term of honor. This is The ancient and modern principles are the same. I now order my consort, Captain Fang Jifan, to uphold the principles of a husband, not to favor him, not to be arrogant, and to respect his family forever. As a sign of affection, he must obey my words and do not hesitate.”

Fang Jifan felt a big stone in his heart. Landing on the ground, he hurriedly said: “I… obey the decree.”

He stood up happily, having received the imperial decree, lowered his head, looked left and right, and said to the eunuch: “Don’t you know that we have decided on a good date for the wedding?”

The eunuch said: “Since On an auspicious day when you are elected, the captain will give you six bows.”

Fang Jifan nodded and said aggrievedly: “You have to go back and tell your Majesty that he took away my Dingyuan Marquisship. This was done by me with one knife and one shot. I risked my life to marry the emperor’s concubine, but the dowry can no longer be made of copper.”

The eunuch asked in surprise: “What copper?”

Fang Jifan waved his hands, sighed, forget it, he couldn’t explain it to him, and said: “It means that the dowry must be generous.”

The eunuch’s face turned green with fright: “The servant dare not say it, why doesn’t the captain say it himself?”

Fang Jifan said confidently: “I don’t dare either.”

“…” This eunuch has a kind of Your emperor’s son-in-law wouldn’t even dare to talk about the feeling of a RI dog, but if you ask me to talk about it, you will treat me as your second wife. The eunuch looked at Fang Jifan with resentment, but forced a smile; “The captain is really good at telling jokes.”

Zhu Houzhao came over… looked left and right, and said: “Old Fang, you don’t want to be the Marquis of Dingyuan anymore?”

Fang Jifan sighed: “For Her Royal Highness, a mere waiting position is nothing.”

Zhu Houzhao also looked at Fang Jifan resentfully. He wanted to lose his temper and show his disapproval of the marriage, but when he thought about it carefully, his father My life is in danger, that’s all.

Fang Jifan accepted the imperial edict and said, “It’s not easy. I’m old. I should get married as soon as possible. I’ll go back and calculate the days later.”

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: “Your father, you don’t care?”

Fang Jifan said : “My father knew that I was getting married and married a princess. Maybe he would jump up from the hospital bed as soon as he was happy.”

Zhu Houzhao bared his teeth.

The two of them had just finished speaking.

But another eunuch came and said, “Fang Jifan, the Prince Consort, is here to take over the imperial edict.”

Fang Jifan was surprised and glanced at Zhu Houzhao, who also said, “My father is so full that he keeps talking half-heartedly.”

This eunuch said

But he took out a strange edict and said: “His Royal Highness the Prince of the East Palace, Duke Zhenguo said…”

“…”

Zhu Houzhao’s face was a little stiff.

Who is the Prince of the East Palace?

Isn’t it just me?

Who is the Duke of Zhenguo?

Aren’t you still this palace?

What does it mean?

Has this palace issued any edict?

No.

What does this have to do with me?

And this eunuch, is he from the East Palace?

no.

He looked at the eunuch.

The eunuch looked at the prince and was trembling, but he still tried to muster up the courage: “The Prince Consort, please take the order quickly.”

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao as if asking.

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: “This is a false edict. Someone has tampered with the edict of this palace.”

The eunuch coughed and said: “Hurry up.”

Zhu Houzhao wanted to snatch the edict over and said angrily: “How can this be unreasonable…”

The eunuch was about to cry: “Your Highness, don’t move. This slave is also following the order. Your Highness must not embarrass this slave.”

Zhu Houzhao said, “Let me have a look.”

He grabbed the edict, looked at it, and was happy. The other party continued: “Haha, it is exactly the same as the edict of this palace. Lao Fang, look at the head and the paper, they are all from the East Palace, and This seal…”

Zhu Houzhao’s body was shaken and he was stunned. He looked hard at the seals of the East Palace and Zhen Guogong. The seal of the East Palace was passed down by the princes of the past generations, and he had nothing to say. But this Zhen Guogong seal was made by Zhu Houzhao himself, and there are anti-counterfeiting marks inside. But here, not only the texture of the seal is lifelike, but even the anti-counterfeiting mark hidden in the seal is not bad at all.

Zhu Houzhao was shocked: “This seal has always been on my body and never leaves my body. But now, where did this seal come from? It’s the same.”

Fang Jifan was also confused.

If it’s not the prince’s edict, then how can it come from the prince’s edict?

The eunuch hurriedly took the edict back and said in panic: “Prince, forgive me, it is my duty as a servant.”

Zhu Houzhao was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

The eunuch hurriedly said: “Fang Jifan, the Prince-in-law, will accept the imperial edict quickly.”

Fang Jifan could only say, “I will accept the imperial edict.”

The eunuch said, “Fang Jifan, the Prince-in-law, the Commander-in-Chief, has won the heart of this palace. I was the first to establish the national government, and the Commander-in-Chief Fang Jifan , the contribution is indispensable. Today, under the orders of the emperor, I am under the jurisdiction of the town and the country. I have taught the virtuous and garrisoned the fields to stabilize the world. We are in need of the help of the captain. Now I have ordered the vassal to join the town and the country, and I have ordered the town to be the marquis…”

Town… Zhenguohou.

Fang Jifan was so frightened that he peed.

The prince has no right to command the prince.

However… the prince has always been confused. After all, even he, the Duke of the town, was granted the title by himself.

Although the Duke of this town is a product of his own entertainment.

But as the tide in Zhenguo Mansion rose, everyone in the government finally pinched their noses and acquiesced.

After all, the Zhenguo Mansion now belongs to a powerful government. At first, the royal family did not recognize it, but if it sent an official document to the Ministry of War, would Ma Wensheng, the Minister of War, dare not recognize it?

But now…another product similar to Zhen Guogong was born out of thin air.

Of course, this…should be the result of the prince’s nonsense.

But the problem is that Zhu Houzhao looked aggrieved. I didn’t mess around this time. Where did this prince come from?

The eunuch said again: “The Captain is in the Zhenguo Mansion and ranks under me. I hope that the Captain will use his talents and assist me. Don’t slack off.”

Fang Jifan didn’t know whether he should take it.

Because this edict is clearly true.

But it is fake.

True or false, God knows.

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao said sadly and angrily: “I have been punished by others. This must be a good thing done by my father. It is shameful for such a big man to play such a childish trick.”

The eunuch’s face turned green when he heard this, and he lowered his voice. He kept his head down and didn’t dare to say anything.

Fang Jifan felt like he was enlightened.

This time he was deprived of his title by Guo, and as the consort, he had almost no responsibilities. In other words, although Fang Jifan got his wish and married the princess, the consort captain had nothing else to do except to pay homage to his ancestors for the royal family. This is very different from the emperor’s original intention of hoping that Fang’s successor can assist the prince.

Many of the things he has done have been approved by the emperor. He believes that these things are beneficial to the country and the people, and are of great benefit to the court. How can Fang Jifan be willing to let Fang Jifan fool around with the princess all his life and waste his whole life?

As a result, the edict of the prince and the duke of the country was concocted.

In the name of the prince, he was appointed Marquis of Zhenguo and continued to be in charge of Zhenguofu together with the prince.

At this time, people all over the world will definitely criticize.

But so what?

What does this have to do with me? This is what the prince did. You go find the prince.

The prince has always been used to mischief, what can you do to him? There’s nothing I can do against him.

With a bang, the basin was placed on Zhu Houzhao’s head.

But Zhu Houzhao is the kind of person who has no worries about debts. Nothing he does is surprising.

But you say this is child’s play, but it’s wrong.

Because the Zhenguo Mansion really exists, and Fang Jifan is the Marquis of the Zhen Guo Mansion, then he has legitimately become the number two figure in the Zhen Guo Mansion. This factual institution is gradually becoming more and more popular, so who can ignore it?

…

Fang Jifan happily accepted the decree and became the Marquis of the Kingdom…actually it was quite good.

Although what he received was not the salary from the imperial court, what he received was the salary from the East Palace. Likewise, after the East Palace, sooner or later, he would have to succeed to the throne, and we would definitely be able to take over the food of the old Zhu family.

As soon as the eunuch waited for Fang Jifan to receive the order, he seemed to have escaped.

Zhu Houzhao lowered his head, a little confused.

He murmured in his mouth: “How did my palace’s security measures leak out?”

Fang Jifan lowered his head and glanced at the edict and said, “Your Highness, where is your security measure? Why can’t I understand it? Tell me. Me.”

Zhu Houzhao shook his head: “I told you, it’s called an anti-counterfeiting code?”

Fang Jifan looked at it for a long time, and then took out Zhu Houzhao’s previous edict to compare it, but he couldn’t tell it, so he couldn’t help but raised his thumb: “Your Majesty. He is such a fastidious person, no wonder His Highness the Crown Prince has the ability to correct edicts. It turns out… it is hereditary. I am now completely convinced.”

For fear of being snatched away by Zhu Houzhao, Fang Jifan hurriedly kicked the edict of “Zhu Houzhao” into his arms and said: “Your Highness, when will you make me a seal of the Marquis of Zhenguo, it must be anti-counterfeiting. It would be great if it could be as popular as His Royal Highness’s Great Seal of the Duke of Zhenguo.”
