The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 75

[75.Chapter 75 Accompanying Reading]

Liu Jian had no objection to His Majesty’s decision, and even Xie Qian, who was a little unhappy with the other successor, was silent at the moment. It seemed that although he was not happy to see the outcome of this matter, he was not disgusted with it. .

Accompanying the prince to study is obviously a sign that he will be of great use in the future. Thinking about it, this is also a way for His Majesty to pave the way for His Royal Highness and build up a team for the prince.

Fang Jifan heard about accompanying students and knew the power of it. You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, there was no prince to accompany students, but there was an emperor and a classmate who accompanied him. That was King Anlu who came to Beijing and succeeded to the throne. His son, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong, had an accompanying student named Lu Bing when Zhu Houcong was still the prince in Anlu. At that time, no one thought that Zhu Houcong would become the emperor, so as a prince, Zhu Houcong naturally did not have many restrictions on etiquette, so Lu Bing accompanied him to study. After that, Zhu Houcong ascended the throne and became the emperor. His character has always been suspicious, and almost everyone was appointed All the ministers were wary, but they had great trust in Lu Bing, whom he had studied with since childhood. If there was one person in the world worthy of Emperor Jiajing’s trust, then it was only this boy who had studied with him since childhood.

Now… Emperor Hongzhi suddenly issued this decree, how could Fang Jifan not understand it?

However, Fang Jifan was a little confused. There were no accompanying officers in the Ming Dynasty. He looked at Emperor Hongzhi carefully and said shamelessly: “Your Majesty, what kind of official is an accompanying officer?”

“…”

It was like a basin of cold water poured directly on Emperor Hongzhi’s face. face.

This guy…doesn’t he have any feelings at all? It’s like I rewarded you with a good painting, and you immediately asked how much money the painting cost.

Taking a deep breath, Emperor Hongzhi decided to endure it.

He said with a calm demeanor: “Okay, step back.”

Fang Jifan didn’t ask why, he was quite resentful. His Majesty the Emperor obviously didn’t give him face.

But…it seems like I don’t have much face.

Zhu Houzhao just felt like he had been pardoned and said hurriedly: “My minister, please retire.” He secretly winked at Fang Jifan, which meant that he should leave this wrong place quickly, and Fang Jifan saluted: “My minister, please retire.”

The two of them had not walked a few steps. When they arrived at the door of Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi’s voice came from behind: “Liu Qing’s family, putting down the rebellion is a top priority right now, but it’s almost the end of the year, and next year’s spring will be the spring, and the examination will also be held. Prepare early…”

The words behind it were vague.

Yes, the examination for the 12th year of Hongzhi is about to begin.

Fang Jifan was full of expectations for this test.

Because he still has three disciples, Fang Jifan still hopes that these three disciples will become Jinshi, and then enjoy the results of the three disciples’ filial piety to him.

The examination in the twelfth year of Hongzhi’s reign was the most bizarre examination.

This exam has even been highlighted in countless historical materials. The reason is that this exam involved a certain examiner’s fraud. Not only that, it also affected a Jiangnan talented man.

This man… Fang Jifan has long been familiar with him. Not only that, Fang Jifan still remembers his poem: “In Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, there are peach blossom fairies in Peach Blossom Temple; Peach Blossom Fairies plant peach trees and fold flower branches for wine money…”

Of course, thanks to future generations Given by a certain actor, whenever Fang Jifan thinks of this talented man, a voice comes faintly in Fang Jifan’s mind: I like to eat braised chicken wings…

But compared to the images in movies and TV series, the talented men in history are very poor. Eighteen-year-old Tang Yin has now ranked first in the Yingtianfu Township Examination in high school and has become the famous Jieyuan Gong.

You must know that Jieyuan and Xieyuan are different. For example, Fang Jifan’s disciple Ouyang Zhi is the Jieyuan of Shuntianfu. The gold content of this solution is much different, because the talents of each province are different. Compared with the scholars in the northern provinces and the southern provinces, the examination performance is just a little bit behind. Among the southern provinces, Yingtianfu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi The three places are also the traditional hometowns of the exams. The scholars in these three places can be called the fighting chickens in the exams. Those who can stand out from here have already entered the Hanlin Academy with almost half a foot. It’s time for Tang Jieyuan to go to Beijing to take the exam

.

He will be involved in a fraud case in Beijing because of his connections with several fellow villagers. Then, although he will be on the gold list, he will soon be imprisoned and suffer inhuman torture. In the end, the court announced that he would never be used again. At that time, the high-spirited Tang Jieyuan would enter the lowest point in his life. At this point,

Fang Jifan thought that maybe… he could save him. Fang Jifan didn’t believe it. The only possibility that Ying Tianfu Jieyuan would cheat in the imperial examination was that he was implicated because he was close to certain people and eventually became a victim.

The only way to get rid of the suspicion of cheating was to let him go. After he came to Beijing, he would not have anything to do with these people.

In addition, his three disciples should also study hard. The exam questions were included in the homework he assigned them. These three guys, They worked hard, and they had to forget to eat and sleep in order to study and do eight-legged essays. After all, they didn’t have Tang Bohu’s talent, so they had to fly first.

Fang Jifan thought about it, and Zhu Houzhao next to him breathed a sigh of relief when he came out of the Nuan Pavilion. He said in his heart: “What a risk, what a risk, classmate Fang… I must have said something right just now.

Fang Jifan said without hesitation: “Your Highness, I admire you every word.

“

Zhu Houzhao looked frightened: “Where, where? But when I saw my father, I felt panic in my heart.

“

“

Fang Jifan said: “Same, same, the minister also feels that he is like a mouse crossing the street, and the emperor is like the sun in the sky. Every time he comes in front of him, there is a feeling of nowhere to escape. “

Ah…” Zhu Houzhao suddenly became energetic: “I am like this too, haha, good brother…” As he said this, he put his arm around Fang Jifan’s elbow and grabbed Fang Jifan’s elbow.

This guy was so ungrateful. After the call, Fang Jifan felt a chill in his heart, and was busy carefully observing whether there was anyone nearby. He even began to wonder if the prince had any evil intentions towards him, and then he thought, should he find a wife, otherwise …It would be better not to be thought of as having any ulterior motives with the prince.

When he thought of his wife, Fang Jifan became energetic again and suddenly felt energetic.

But at this moment, a eunuch trotted over and bowed: “The empress heard that His Highness the Crown Prince and General Fang Qi came to the palace to see him, so she specially ordered His Highness the Crown Prince and General Fang Qi to go to Kunning Palace and invite General Fang Qi to be the princess. Your

Highness is here for a follow-up visit.”

Fang Jifan then remembered that His Highness the Princess’s illness had not yet been seen for a follow-up visit. Guaguai and Zhu Houzhao followed the eunuch to Kunning Palace. As soon as they entered the palace, they did not see Her Highness the Princess, but they saw Queen Zhang still sitting upright with her grace and dignity. As they watched, the Zhang brothers came in with smiles on their faces. When they saw Fang Jifan, Zhang Heling’s eyebrows were beaming: “How are you, Mr. Fang Qi?”

He looked very warm.

Zhu Houzhao looked like he was trying to please, and ran to sit next to Queen Zhang. Fang Jifan first saluted Queen Zhang and said shamelessly: “I have met my aunt, my aunt Jin An, ah, my aunt’s complexion is better. I almost thought that Her Royal Highness the Princess was sitting here. “

“…”

These words have exceeded the lowest level of shamelessness. A woman in her thirties was actually described as a little girl.

Empress Zhang pursed her lips, smiled, nodded and said, “Okay, okay…” Although she didn’t show any overjoyment, a woman could never hide her joy when she was praised for her youth.

Fang Jifan then looked at the Zhang brothers.

Zhang Heling smiled happily at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan also smiled happily at Zhang Heling.
