Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1499 The Good Show Begins

  Although it seems that travelers like to run newspapers.

   even thought it was a good thing to gain both fame and fortune.

   But after Fang Jifan really understood the world situation, he knew better than anyone else that using this thing to fight Qingliu and traditional scholars was courting death.

   Even Fang Jifan's Xishan Academy has trained a large number of students.

   You can think about it with your heels.

  The skills of these Qingliu and scholars are all focused on writing beautiful articles and spouting water.

  What about Xishan Academy? He is studying mathematics, physics and chemistry, and asking a group of science students to compete with a group of Qingliu who are full of skills, isn't this courting death?

Obviously I have mastered the skills of blowing people up to the sky, and I also have weapons such as Jingcha, but I ran to reason with these black guys. This is tantamount to directly pulling myself into the battlefield of Qingliu, and then Let the Qingliu use the means they are best at to torture themselves to death.

  Fang Jifan has no tendency to be masochistic after all.

   As for relying on probation and reasoning, trying to convince them is almost wishful thinking.

   You know, after the newspaper comes out, who will be in charge of proofreading the manuscript, and who will be in charge of writing the article?

  It seems that the emperor can invite people from Xishan to come, but people from Xishan are not good at this. You can ask them to write papers. Writing this... This is called unrefined.

  Since the people in Xishan couldn’t write it, the emperor had to do it himself, but how many days can the emperor insist on writing?

  In the end, don’t you still want to appoint Hanlin? These Hanlin, even if they obey you on the surface, but scholars are best at spring and autumn brushwork. On the surface, in your residence newspaper, there are articles about my emperor's holy virtue, but behind the scenes, all kinds of irony, scolding you, maybe You are still happy.

  Furthermore, this trend has been established. The so-called effective from top to bottom, every chief minister, every prefecture and county must follow suit, and who are the people in charge of these newspapers?

   Fang Jifan was right when he said that it was a scholarly spirit. Whether it was Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, or the emperor, their way of thinking, to put it bluntly, was still the same as that of saints.

   This is not to say that they are not smart enough. The essence is the limitation of the times. The influence of their ears and eyes since childhood has made them form a habitual thinking. They always think that some people have the possibility of enlightenment, naive!

  Then Li Dongyang pulled his face down when he heard Fang Jifan's opinion of the scholar.

   After listening to Fang Jifan's analysis again, he was still a little unconvinced.

  He finally couldn't help but said: "So, Duke Qi must have a clever plan?"

   Isn’t that what Fang Jifan and others said?

  Fang Jifan smiled, and said with a determined face: "Unfortunately, I have a way, just use it, keep these people vulnerable, beat them to pieces, and cry for their parents."

   Li Dongyang was taken aback, is this... possible?

  It's just...Fang Jifan's words just now, he actually thinks it's not completely unreasonable.

  After listening to this analysis, the four monarchs and ministers felt that their good mood yesterday had been wiped away.

   Now hearing Fang Jifan's vows again, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but take a deep look at Fang Jifan: "What is Jifan's opinion?"

Fang Jifan said cheerfully: "Your Majesty, if I want to say this, I can't explain it clearly at the moment. In fact, I have made preparations a few days ago. Yesterday, I heard Eunuch Xiao talk about Your Majesty's worries, and I have already arranged it." , but...just... this matter, seeing is believing, no matter how much I say here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain clearly. "

  Emperor Hongzhi cheered up, he knew that Fang Jifan had always had a lot of ideas, he glanced at Li Dongyang from the corner of his eye, and said with great interest: "Oh, how seeing is believing."

  Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, please move to Pinggu County."

  Pinggu County…

  Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback.

  Pinggu County is a county under the jurisdiction of Jizhou in Shuntian Prefecture. It is relatively remote among the capitals. This place is the gateway to the capital and the hub connecting Tianjin Wei.

But... this kind of place is the most pitiful place. Although both sides are touched, it is not close to the left and right. Therefore, in the counties under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture, there is hardly much sense of existence. Fortunately, it is Beijing This is one of the garrisons of the battalion, and this is the only place that Emperor Hongzhi has an impression of it.

   It is important to know that there is a hundred miles from Pinggu County to Daming Palace, so why did you go to Pinggu County for no reason?

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan suspiciously: "Why?"

  Fang Jifan said confidently: "Your Majesty, because... the answer lies in Pinggu County."

  Liu Jian couldn't help but said: "Pinggu County is more than a hundred miles away. Is Qi Guogong going to encourage His Majesty to patrol privately again?"

  Emperor Hongzhi seems to have begun to hesitate, and it is indeed a little far away.

   Li Dongyang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is a major event. Since Qi Guogong's words are convincing, maybe there is really a good way. If it can solve the problem in your Majesty's heart, it would be a good thing."

   Obviously, Li Dongyang was not convinced, so he naturally wanted to find out what medicine Fang Jifan bought in his gourd that would convince him.

  I have been a smart person all my life. You said that I am a scholar. Well, I want to see what method you, Fang Jifan, can turn decay into magic.

Emperor Hongzhi also aroused his curiosity, but he was a little entangled. He squinted his eyes and said: "This road...is far enough. If we start now, I am afraid that we will arrive in the evening. Jifan, if I leave Beijing for too long, I may be killed Something happened."

  He was silent for a moment, then looked up at Xiao Jing: "Xiao Banban, summon the emperor's grandson to come here, let him study here, Xiao Banban is also here, let's study with him."

  Xiao Jing understood: "Your Majesty, do you want slaves to prepare for the tour?"

  Emperor Hongzhi waved: "Go and prepare."

  …

  Liu Jian couldn't help shaking his head.

  His Majesty has begun to lose sight of the palace.

  He faintly felt that something was inappropriate, but in the end he smiled wryly.

  Your Majesty has taken on a completely new look as before. In the past, Your Majesty always acted in accordance with the standards of a good emperor in the minds of scholars, but now... completely deviated from the minds of scholars.

  But... who is to blame?

Emperor Hongzhi was preparing to set off, just because he was going out of Beijing. In terms of safety, he needed to be extra careful. Therefore, the Warriors Battalion dispatched hundreds of people, plus the accompanying Jinwu Guards, etc., and then ordered Zhang Mao to personally transfer a thousand soldiers. Xiaoqi went to Pinggu County and the capital to set up defenses, but he didn't tell him the reason.

  Among the accompanying ministers were Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, while Xie Qian stayed and had to sit in the cabinet.

   Immediately afterwards, a Hanlin who was on duty today was called to accompany him.

   This Hanlin is called Wu Jiawang. Wu Jiawang was at a loss at first, and he didn't know what was going on.

  He waited outside the Daming Gate in a daze, and saw the Daming Gate open, and then saw a group of people coming out.

  Wu Jiawang was stunned. This Daming Gate is only for the emperor to leave. It is closed on weekdays. What happened?

   But there was a fast horse coming out first, it was Fang Jifan who was in high spirits.

  Fang Jifan noticed the surprised Wu Jiawang at a glance, immediately pointed at Wu Jiawang, and said arrogantly: "It's him, come, tie him up, come on, don't tie him up, take him away."

  Wu Jiawang was horrified, he was hijacked in a daze, and went straight out of the capital.

   What happened?

  He doesn't understand!

  Wu Jiawang was angry when he saw Fang Jifan, because this Fang Jifan Jingcha did not scare him half to death.

  The people and horses went all the way without stopping, guarding a large cart, and hurriedly headed towards Tianjin Wei.

  By the time we arrived at Pinggu County, it was the moment of Shen Shi.

   It seems that Fang Jifan has already made arrangements.

  Before the people and horses entered the county seat, someone rushed to meet them with someone, and it was Wang Jinyuan.

  Wang Jinyuan came all night last night. At this time, he said excitedly: "Young master, young master... everything is ready, and you can be satisfied with the safekeeping. Young master is wise and powerful, like a literary star descending to the mortal world, planning a strategy, it is really..."

  Fang Jifan smiled and lowered his voice: "Dog, don't do this, there is someone behind you."

  Wang Jinyuan was surprised, his eyes passed over Le Fang Jifan, and he was speechless when he saw the chariots and horses surrounded by countless people.

   There are not many people who can make the young master afraid. Except for Her Royal Highness, it seems... there is only one person in this world.

"Understood, understood." Wang Jinyuan never expected Shengjia to be here. The young master didn't inform him in advance. He was much more cautious, and blinked at Fang Jifan: "Everything is ready. The magistrate of Pinggu County heard that the young master is coming, so scared He peed his pants and said he admired the young master, so he obediently obeyed the young master's orders."

  Fang Jifan only asked: "When can we start?"

   "The people in the four townships and eight miles... have already been urged, I'm afraid... they haven't come so soon, at least it will take another hour."

  Fang Jifan gritted his teeth: "Hurry up, and... don't reveal the identity of the person in the car, or you will be cut."

Wang Jinyuan quickly vowed: "Don't worry, young master. Since the villain has followed the young master, this life will be handed over to the young master. He is born to be the young master, and will die as the young master's ghost. After meeting the king of hell, he will return the saddle to the young master in the next life. The young master is The water, the villain is the boat..."

  Fang Jifan couldn't understand why he could be so stinky and shameless by flattering himself.

  He sighed: "Go away, don't make me hit you before the emperor."

  Wang Jinyuan nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and quickly disappeared in front of Fang Jifan.

  Leading the carriage to the county, he went directly to Wengcheng. After all, it is a suburban county of Gyeonggi Province with complete military equipment. Therefore, Wengcheng occupies a huge area.

   Now, a large open space has been opened up in the original school grounds of the Wengcheng.

  At this moment, many people have poured in under the leadership of the officers.

  In the middle of the school field, a huge stage was set up.

  Emperor Hongzhi entered the Wengcheng surrounded by the crowd, and was taken aback when he saw the stage.

  Stage?

  I have come all the way to listen to you Fang Jifan singing?

  Emperor Hongzhi was a little confused, he glanced sideways at Fang Jifan, and his eyes were even more suspicious.

  Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the show is about to begin. Your Majesty is satisfied."
