Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 257 Sacred Heart Arbitrary

  When Fang Jifan received His Majesty's oral order, he felt very surprised. All this happened too suddenly. Why did he summon him suddenly at noon?

  Fang Jifan smiled at the eunuch, and took out a small piece of silver.

   This is the first time he has bribed, and there will be a first time in everything. Of course, it hurts, really, it hurts.

  Put the broken silver into the little eunuch's hand.

  The little **** opened his mouth wide open, in disbelief. Among the eunuchs, Xin Xin Bofang Jifan belongs to the kind of devil-like existence. You can't mess with him. If you mess with him, maybe he will fall ill immediately. God knows what will happen next.

  So before coming here, the little **** had already made plans to do nothing.

  But... touching the broken silver that was about to slip through his fingers, the little eunuch's expression was ugly, and he didn't know what to say.

  Is this an insult to yourself? Send beggar this is? After all, we are also people in the palace.

  Fang Jifan smiled at him.

   This smile is full of panic.

  The little **** suddenly remembered the warning of his ancestors, taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others.

Sighing, the little **** did not wait for Fang Jifan to ask, and took the initiative to say: "Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi Yang Tinghe, and Shao Zhan Shi Wang Hua, went to Nuan Pavilion together and reported the imperial certificate to Uncle Xinjian. Your Majesty listened and called the crown prince." Meet with Uncle Xinjian."

   "..." Fang Jifan felt overwhelmed, thinking that Zhu Houzhao was a swindler. It's only been a few days, and he leaked the secret? Is this guy talking too much?

   After thinking for a while, Fang Jifan couldn't help but sighed, and then said: "I would like to ask the father-in-law to lead the way."

The little **** smiled reluctantly, and the little piece of silver in his hand almost slipped out of his fist again. Forget it, the size of a mosquito is also a piece of meat, at least he didn't return empty-handed, but... eunuchs are all smooth-faced people, He piled up a smile, and wanted to put the crumb-like money into Fang Jifan's hand: "Uncle Xinjian, why are you so polite, we are all one family, we dare not accept this money."

   "Is that so..." Fang Jifan's tone was a bit embarrassed, and he took the silver back with his hand.

  The little eunuch's expression changed: "..."

  That's good, and saved another sum of money, Fang Jifan put the broken silver back into his sleeve, and smiled...

Of course, the most important thing is not money. Fang Jifan has plenty of silver, but this is a matter of principle. As a person with righteous views and dreams, bribing eunuchs is really a disgusting thing. Well, not only can you save money, but you can also maintain your integrity, which is the best of both worlds.

   "My father-in-law is not moved by money, which is really admirable." Fang Jifan praised him generously.

  The little **** wanted to die.

   Arrived at the Meridian Gate in a hurry, but Fang Jifan was not in a hurry to go in. He had to wait for the prince and go in alone. The consequences would be unpredictable. With the prince, he felt much more at ease.

   After more than an hour, Fang Jifan got a little impatient with waiting, and Zhu Houzhao flew here.

  I saw him panting, dirty, and covered in mud. When he saw Fang Jifan, he showed a big smile: "Old Fang, what a coincidence?"

   "..."

  Zhu Houzhao got off his horse swiftly, walked side by side with Fang Jifan, and said, "Old Fang, I heard that the two masters have sued us."

   "It's mainly His Royal Highness." Fang Jifan sighed.

  Zhu Houzhao looked up at the sky, disapprovingly said: "I didn't do anything, it's just early in the morning..."

   "..." Fang Jifan didn't need to listen further, he already knew what happened.

   "Don't be afraid." Zhu Houzhao said boldly and dryly: "I will reason with my father."

   "..."

  Zhu Houzhao saw Fang Jifan's downcast look, and said: "If the father is really unreasonable..."

  He paused, bared his teeth immediately, and said murderously: "Then it's all Liu Jin's fault, he's the one who stole my palace, this thing that kills a thousand swords."

  Hoo... Fang Jifan's mood suddenly improved.

   Sure enough, with Liu Jin, I can walk without burdening myself!

  Fang Jifan clapped his hands and said, "That's right, Liu Jin is the worst. When I see his rogue-like eyes and wicked eyebrows, I know he is a traitor."

Zhu Houzhao stared at Fang Jifan with a pair of clear eyes and said: "You also found out? No wonder this guy always speaks in a dark way. It's no wonder that I didn't notice it before, but now the more I think about it, the more I think it's the case." , this kind of person is really dangerous, if the emperor doesn't punish him, I will give him a slap in the face when I go back."

  Too ruthless!

  Fang Jifan's hairs stood on end, how many scapegoats Liu Jin has borne in the first half of his life.

  But...why am I so happy in my heart? I have fallen, and I have started to lose sympathy for the working eunuchs at the bottom.

  After this conversation, the pace became much lighter, and I soon arrived at the Snapper.

  In the warm pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi was frowning, his face was sullen, his lips were pursed, and he said nothing.

  Yang Tinghe and Wang Hua were given a seat, and they sat on the brocade pier without saying a word.

  When the two Zhan Shi came to sue angrily, Emperor Hongzhi didn't say anything.

   After all, they usually sue a lot.

  Emperor Hongzhi has long been used to and numb.

  But this time, because of one sentence, he got angry.

  Zhu Houzhao actually said that he had learned something and did not need to continue studying.

  This... makes him annoyed as a father, and you also deserve to be successful in your studies? You really don't want any face!

  Longyan was furious.

  Therefore, the Sacred Heart has been decided, and just taking advantage of this time, he taught the prince a lesson.

  As for the so-called Wang Shouren... Oh, that guy who taught new learning in Xishan.

Of course, from the mouths of the two Zhans, Fang Jifan was the worst one. He first harmed Wang Shouren. According to Wang Hua, Fang Jifan taught Wang Shouren the new science. None, not going home.

  Emperor Hongzhi's heart skipped a beat. Fang Jifan's new learning actually taught disloyalty and disfilial piety?

  He couldn't believe it. In his mind, Fang Jifan was still a loyal and filial person. In the past, many people misunderstood him. This time, it should be the same.

  The worst thing is actually the prince!

  When he thinks of the prince, he gets angry, so he can only try his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

   After waiting for a long time, an **** finally came in cautiously. Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and said, "Why, is that Ni Zi here?"

   At this time, Emperor Hongzhi was sharpening his knife, waiting for the knife to be sharpened, so that he could kill pigs.

  The **** said: "No, it's not, Your Majesty, it's the cabinet scholars Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang who are asking to see you, for the sake of going to the West."

  Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a moment. He wanted to say that we will talk about it tomorrow, but after thinking about it carefully, this voyage to the West is the most urgent thing right now. Anyway, it won’t take long to deal with that traitor, so he said: "Please come in."

  As soon as the three cabinet scholars arrived, Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao followed.

This Zhu Houzhao was beaming with joy just now when he told Fang Jifan what he had learned from Wang Shouren in Xishan, and he had already thought about it. When it was really a last resort, the golden cicada escaped its shell, but when it arrived at the Nuan Pavilion, it suddenly withered. "My son, I have seen my father."

  This grandson...

  Fang Jifan hadn't rolled up his sleeves yet, and before the ceremony started, Zhu Houzhao had already knelt down pitifully, letting him take the lead, what a scam.

  Fang Jifan had no choice but to say in embarrassment: "I... have seen Your Majesty."

  Zhu Houzhao instantly attracted everyone's attention.

  Emperor Hongzhi was furious when he saw Zhu Houzhao's appearance.

  Yang Tinghe looked at Zhu Houzhao coldly, with indifference in his eyes.

  Li Dongyang and Xie Qian also looked surprised.

  Only Liu Jian seemed to understand what was going on and what he wanted to say, but he was quite steady and finally chose to remain silent.

   "Are you a mud monkey?" Emperor Hongzhi stared at Zhu Houzhao, desperately suppressing the anger in his heart.

   See what this looks like.

  He wears a nondescript Lun scarf on his head.

  He is wearing a short suit.

  My body is covered in mud. The cloth shoes under my feet and the dried mud on them can be used as soles.

  He doesn't look like a prince, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is a beggar on the street.

  Emperor Hongzhi has always been a person of great etiquette. The crown prince in his mind should not be like this. If it spreads, isn’t he afraid of being laughed at?

  Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said: "My son... I don't have time to change clothes, my father is urging me..."

  He looked aggrieved, as if it was Emperor Hongzhi's fault.

   "..." Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

   That's amazing, the wings are really hardened. By this time, the father is out of control, how dare you be so stubborn!

   It's really been three days since I left Shiba, and I've seen it with admiration.

  Murderous intent flashed across Emperor Hongzhi's face.

  Zhu Houzhao seemed to sense something, and hurriedly said: "I don't know what instruction the father and emperor have for calling the sons and ministers?"

  He speaks now, and he also begins to speak with some politeness.

  In the past, it was mostly about instructions, but now it is actually teaching.

  Obviously, I got together with readers a lot, and I started to drag my words.

  Emperor Hongzhi did not notice this detail, and said in a deep voice, "You did a good job! Now, do you still want to pretend to be stupid? Your two masters are here today, and you still ask me what I have taught you?"

  Yang Tinghe's face remained unchanged, so he was not worried that His Royal Highness would hold grudges. After all, as Zhan Shi, this was his duty. This alone was enough to make scholars all over the world respect him.

  As ministers, especially after Chenghua, ministers began to cherish their feathers more and more. The strength of ministers has become the only criterion for evaluating ministers and officials.

  So Yang Tinghe looked serious and straight, without squinting.

Wang Hua was a little flustered in his heart, and he really wanted to remind His Majesty that this new study really has nothing to do with his son. It was created by Fang Jifan, and his son was also a victim. Your Majesty must be aware of the details. .

  Zhu Houzhao did not go to see Yang Tinghe and Wang Hua, but took a sneak peek at Fang Jifan. To be honest, no matter how much talk is on paper, the actual combat is still different!

  He was a little panicked now, and wanted to see if Lao Fang had any ideas.
