Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1443 Wencheng Wude

   Seeing Zhu Houzhao's excited appearance, Fang Jifan couldn't help but feel emotional.

  His Royal Highness, most of the time, he is still very simple, like a child.

  But when you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense. After all, those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. With people like me who worry about the country and the people by his side, even a wolf knows how to change his career and become a vegetarian.

  Zhu Houzhao is a quick-tempered person. Although he yells in the silkworm room every day, it hurts his muscles and bones. It is not so easy to heal this injury.

  But... Zhu Houzhao still called some of his capable generals in the research institute, and continued to give instructions.

   What's more, Fang Jifan joined to give some guidance to the people below.

  Of course, the most important thing is that everyone has set their sights on one direction, and there is still money, and desperately started crazy experiments.

  It's just... the injury of His Royal Highness still caused waves after all.

  There were many discussions in the temple.

   Fortunately, Emperor Hongzhi remained silent.

   Only after the limelight passed, Fang Jifan was ordered into the palace.

  Fang Jifan thought that after the meeting, he would have to be scolded by Emperor Hongzhi.

  Unexpectedly, Emperor Hongzhi was surprisingly calm. When Fang Jifan arrived, Emperor Hongzhi was at the head, while Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, and Ouyang Zhiren, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, were discussing the selection of officials.

Emperor Hongzhi was very worried. When he saw Fang Jifan arrived, he didn't scold him. He just raised his eyes and looked at him indifferently. He didn't talk to Fang Jifan first. Is it not safe enough to go to various states and capitals?"

  Ouyang Zhi was silent...

On the other hand, Liu Jian nodded and nodded, and interjected, "That's right, it's not safe. Nowadays, the old officials in various state capitals are more or less wary of the new officials. They are superior officials, and the new officials are officials. Officials are different. , when the time comes, I don’t know what kind of moths will come out, maybe there will be troubles.”

  After Ouyang Zhi entered the official department, he has been busy with the issue of new officials. A few days ago, he passed the examination and selected a group of new officials.

   As for the appointment of new officials, there are disputes between the court and China.

  The safest way is to still put them in places like Beijing and Baoding, but Ouyang Zhi has always advocated putting them in the state capitals.

The magistrates and county magistrates who were born in the imperial examination are often hostile to the new officials. After all, they come from different backgrounds. How can these new officials be promoted to officials in the future and become their competitors? Can tolerate a group of new officials acting under him, because of this, the court is not at ease about this.

After being silent for a while, Ouyang Zhi said seriously: "Your Majesty, all states and governments in the world will have to face this problem sooner or later. If we don't change it today, we won't change it tomorrow. What about the day after tomorrow?" Everyone analyzed.

"The minister observed that many state capitals also wanted to try the New Deal, but they had no one available. So, in the name of the New Deal, they recited the scriptures in a wrong way. Now, the new officials are ready and sent to the state capitals. There will be many resistances and many problems, but there are hundreds of state capitals and thousands of counties in the world. As long as there is one, two, or three completed, it is a good start. If you don’t try, you will be forever I don't know how warm or cold the water is. When encountering a problem, it is better to solve it than never do it. I have talked with many new officials. They know what difficulties they will encounter if they are sent to different states, but there are many, willing to take the initiative Please Ying, I want to give it a try, there will be difficulties in the end, but this difficulty is better than three or five years ago when the New Deal was first launched. Baoding dared to be the first in the world and created a situation. It's always easier to follow the rules, so why not try?"

  Emperor Hongzhi fell into deep thought.

  Liu Jian and others were also silent.

   After a long time, Emperor Hongzhi seemed to think of Fang Jifan who was at the side. He couldn't help but look sideways at him, and said lightly, "Jifan, tell me."

  Fang Jifan had read the mansion newspaper and knew about the recent disputes between the court and China. He thought about it: "Your Majesty, what is the worst outcome?"

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

Fang Jifan asked himself and answered: "It is nothing more than discord among officials, which breeds troubles. But... if no new officials are dispatched, will the whole world be peaceful and peaceful in the local area? If this is the case... it is indeed time to try. As long as the worst result, the court can Accept, then, there is nothing to fear."

  Emperor Hongzhi was a little moved and couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Fang Jifan immediately added: "What's more, Your Majesty is the Holy Son of Heaven. Under His Majesty's governance, the world has gradually stabilized, and the world is in great order. People respect Your Majesty as if they were their own father. My own mother. Then, what is there to worry about, Your Majesty?"

Fang Jifan couldn't help raising his voice several times, and he said every word with force: "Even if there is trouble, it is just a small discord in this peaceful and prosperous age. The foundation. Your Majesty is discerning, selects talents and utilizes them, treats the people like children, sets a precedent for all ages, initiates a new government, and benefits the soldiers and civilians of the world. , Han Wu Tang Zong is not as good as your Majesty, in case, a thousand years of achievements are in front of you, how can your majesty waver at this time?"

  After Emperor Hongzhi heard this, a warm current rose deep in his heart.

  Listen...it's really comfortable.

  Liu Jian and the others looked up at Fang Jifan, and couldn't help being moved.

  Only Ouyang Zhi remained expressionless.

  Emperor Hongzhi narrowed his eyes slightly as if he was thinking, but he only pondered for a moment, and finally made a decision.

   "Then, let's give it a try. This matter is under the auspices of the Ministry of Officials, Ouyang Qing's family. This matter is of great importance. You must be bold, but you also need to be cautious. Try your best not to cause any trouble. If it succeeds, it will be a great achievement."

  At this moment, Ouyang Zhi was slightly moved.

  At this moment, a turbulent sea broke out in his heart.

Unable to bear it, he uttered a national curse that has been prevalent in Beijing recently: "Fuck, my teacher is right, every sentence hides a clever edge, not only to please His Majesty, but also to express my attitude clearly." In vain, if I am a disciple of this kind of ability, I am afraid that I will not be able to learn it in a hundred years."

  After he was slightly moved, he remembered the words of Emperor Hongzhi, and said: "I... obey the order."

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded and smiled at him amiably.

   "I look forward to your good news."

  For Ouyang Zhi, he has always trusted him.

   After deciding on the matter, Emperor Hongzhi took a look at Fang Jifan.

  For this son-in-law, he has complicated thoughts, stays with him, speaks nicely, and has skills, but he is not good at all, he likes to make trouble.

   Always causing some little trouble, annoying.

  Emperor Hongzhi was wondering if he should tap it, so he showed a serious expression and asked very seriously.

   "Jifan, how is the prince's injury?"

  Fang Jifan said: "It's just a minor injury, don't worry, Your Majesty, it's nothing serious."

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said with some displeasure.

   "I have said long ago that the prince and my grandson have conflicting temperaments, and the prince's behavior is extreme, so it is not suitable to teach a son."

  Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Crown Prince is highly talented, more than enough to teach the emperor's grandson, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi was worried.

  Almost believed Fang Jifan's words.

  But only a few days later, the emperor's grandson actually knocked the prince off his horse.

   This is not bad.

  A son, dare to act so boldly, is it plausible?

  As for the prince, he was injured. Emperor Hongzhi kept it from the harem, but he himself was extremely anxious. Although he knew there was no serious problem, he didn't sleep well for several nights.

   Now that Fang Jifan is so understated, is it plausible?

  It's just... the son hitting the father's hand has already caused an uproar, the emperor's grandson is unfilial, and the prince is rude. Isn't this enough to make all the officials boil?

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't continue to ask questions, he hoped that the situation would calm down quickly.

  Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Liu Jian.

  Liu Jian was silent.

It looks like the emperor's family affairs, anyway, it's His Majesty's son, grandson and son-in-law, the old minister doesn't want to intervene anymore, what to do, I haven't seen anything in the world, even more shocking things than this, I have seen it too It looks like there are too many.

Emperor Hongzhi was speechless for a while, with a sullen face, he said to Fang Jifan word by word: "If there is any more mistakes, or Zai Mo dares to be rude, I will not forgive him, not only will I not forgive him, but I will never treat him lightly." Forgive you and the prince."

   This is a warning.

   You are causing trouble, I will not be polite, this time I will forgive you, but I will never allow another time, otherwise I will clean up all of you, and none of you will even try to escape.

Fang Jifan was grateful and said: "Your Majesty is wise, your majesty's words are precious, and I often remind my sons and ministers, which benefit me a lot. My sons and ministers have been taught by your majesty and have a lot of feelings. I must be more concerned about the affairs of the emperor and grandson. Never dare to live up to His Majesty's high expectations."

   Having said this, Emperor Hongzhi was completely speechless. He just glanced at him indifferently and waved to him.

   "That's the end of the discussion, I'm tired."

  Fang Jifan seems to have received an amnesty, this time it is indeed a small mistake, you have to admit your mistakes, after all Fang Jifan is a good boy who knows his mistakes and can correct them, no, he is a good young man.

   Coming out of the palace, Ouyang Zhi followed Fang Jifan at the same pace, and waited until he left the palace to meet him.

  Fang Jifan waved his hand and said to Ouyang Zhi very seriously.

"Your Majesty entrusted you with a great task, which shows His Majesty's trust in you. As a teacher, you are a steadfast and loyal person. I hope that you, a big disciple, will do the same. Do it well. If you do well, you will be honored to be a teacher. If you do not do well, I will cut off ties with you."

  Ouyang Zhi was moved for a moment. He knew that his mentor treated him like his own son, so why would he cut off the relationship?

  In the world, only those closest to you are afraid of making mistakes, and it is best for you to beat them frequently, so Ouyang Zhi said seriously with red eyes.

   "Students respect the teacher's teachings."
