Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 625 Guangzong Yaozu

   These words came from the heart of Emperor Hongzhi.

  On the one hand, the Fang family father and son were loyal and made great contributions. Both of them were relied on by Emperor Hongzhi. On the other hand, it is also Fang Jifan who is about to marry his daughter and become the captain-in-law.

There are many concubines in Ming Dynasty. This is because the emperors of all dynasties have many daughters. After all, the emperor has many concubines. There are many emperors of Ming Dynasty, who are often more hardworking and capable. There are countless children and many daughters. up.

  But the Hongzhi Dynasty was different. The closest relatives of the Emperor Hongzhi, apart from the Empress Dowager Zhou, were Empress Zhang and a pair of children.

   Now, thinking of Fang Jinglong in Guizhou, Emperor Hongzhi said these words with the utmost affection.

Fang Jifan almost couldn't hold it back, and wanted to call Emperor Hongzhi his father. People need to be realistic, and if they want to face, they should call Fang Jifan. If they call the emperor their father, what will they do in the future? How did death come, a very happy life.

   But in the end, Fang Jifan still held back.

  Man, how could he easily sell his own father? Fang Jifan still has a bottom line.

  Fang Jifan squeezed his eyes hard: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty loves you so much, I... I am very grateful."

  Emperor Hongzhi patted Fang Jifan on the shoulder and sighed again, not knowing how to comfort him.

   Immediately, Emperor Hongzhi sat down on the chair, and Zhu Houzhao was still kneeling. Emperor Hongzhi looked at the map on the table, and couldn't help saying: "You two are plotting to conquer Annan here?"

  Zhu Houzhao immediately said: "Yes, Annan's wolf ambition..."

   When Emperor Hongzhi saw Zhu Houzhao, he was furious: "I didn't ask you."

Fang Jifan looked around, didn't ask the crown prince, of course he asked himself, Fang Jifan said: "Yes, Annan is ambitious, arrogant, and has constant friction with the tribe of the minister's stepmother. They don't take the minister's stepmother seriously. If you don't put your father in your eyes, if you don't put your father in your eyes, then you don't put my Ming court in your eyes, if you don't put the court in your eyes, you look down on Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi really wanted to say, I don't think the people in Annan didn't take me seriously, but he was in a depressed mood, and he really didn't bother to care about it: "Nowadays, the great epidemic in the southwest is just a matter of success. It's still obedient, but at this time, it's not appropriate to go to war, you are here, just treat it as a child's play, and you must not cause trouble."

Emperor Hongzhi said with emotion: "Fang Jifan, I know that you must be very unhappy in your heart, so you need to find something to relieve your boredom. The so-called people have sorrows and joys, and the moon has cloudy and sunny waxes and wanes. There will always be various things in the world. Unsatisfactory, if there is any news, you have to hold on."

  Fang Jifan was stunned for a moment, listening to His Majesty's tone, could it be... what report came from Guizhou?

  Has bad news arrived?

  Fang Jifan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the effect of quinine is totally different from what he imagined? Or, the medicine was delivered late, and the father had already died of a serious illness?

Fang Jifan fought a cold war, as if he understood something, yes, if not, how could His Majesty come to Xishan in person to say these words to himself, His Majesty is a restrained person, not to mention, how could he have time to spare during the great epidemic in the Southwest? Come to Xishan?

   something happened... something happened...

   Thinking of this, Fang Jifan's irritability in the past few days suddenly aroused.

  Thinking of how kind his father is to him in every possible way, now...it's really a world apart, and he can't even see this last side?

Thinking of this, Fang Jifan suddenly felt like his heart was being stabbed, and wanted to say something, but tears started to drip in his eyes instantly, as if his chest had been hammered, and he was so stuffy that he couldn't even breathe. Unable to stop, he was so bored for a while, Fang Jifan howled: "My father, my dear father, why... why did you just go like this, I haven't married a wife, haven't had a baby yet, You didn't see anything, just left?"

Fang Jifan beat his own heart, although he was heartless at ordinary times, it was because life was very happy, and there was really nothing to be sentimental about, but now, when he was really sad, his whole psychological defense collapsed: "Father, you are dead!" Injustice, my son obviously sent you medicine, it's done."

  Fang Jifan howled, and Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback.

  Zhu Houzhao was infected by Fang Jifan's emotions, and couldn't help saying: "Uncle Shi, you died so miserable..."

  The two howled for a while, and Emperor Hongzhi was even more depressed. He had a question in his heart, is Marquis Pingxi dead?

  But at this time, Xiao Jing hurried in from outside and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Jian, a cabinet scholar, is here, and I ask for an audience."

  Fang Jifan stopped crying.

   Liu Jian also came to comfort himself?

It seems that my popularity is not bad. After my father died, there are still many people who come to comfort me. It can be seen that I am kind to others, and I still get something in return. If you sow melons, you will get melons, and if you sow beans, you will get beans. Kind people always have good The ancients did not deceive me... I thought to myself, what was going on in my mind, I must quickly ask when my father passed away...

  Just as he was about to speak, Liu Jian and the others rushed in.

  Liu Jian was smiling and beaming, and the rest of the people, as if they were celebrating the New Year, wished they could decorate with lanterns and festivities.

   "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, overjoyed, overjoyed..."

   "..." Fang Jifan felt suffocated... Overjoyed...

  Emperor Hongzhi was very confused. On the one hand, he felt uncomfortable seeing Fang Jifan like this.

  Hearing that Liu Jian was overjoyed, Emperor Hongzhi pulled his face down: "Why do you like it?"

   "Your Majesty, Ping Xihou has come here to revise the book. Please read it over."

   As he spoke, a memorial was delivered to Emperor Hongzhi.

   "Fraud...you cheated, old Fang, your father cheated!" Zhu Houzhao yelled.

   "..." Fang Jifan couldn't laugh or cry, he should be very sad.

  Emperor Hongzhi was also taken aback, especially Zhu Houzhao’s sentence of cheating on the corpse made Emperor Hongzhi pale. He still took the memorial, and when he took a closer look, his expression became weird.

   "Father, Fang Jifan's father cheated on the corpse. This fraud is not a good thing. Pingxihou is dead, and he will not be at peace even under the Nine Springs. I want to invite a Taoist priest to do a religious ceremony."

  Emperor Hongzhi didn't make a sound, he stared at Fang Jifan with a strange expression on his face: "Fang Jifan, do you have a special medicine to cure the epidemic?"

  Fang Jifan thought for a while, then nodded, with tears still in his eyes.

  Emperor Hongzhi slapped his thigh excitedly: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

  Fang Jifan looked hesitant: "What's wrong with my father?"

   "Your father's illness has recovered like a miracle. The epidemic has begun to slow down in the military towns of Guizhou." Emperor Hongzhi was beaming.

  Fang Jifan couldn't help but said: "But didn't your majesty say that my father is dead?"

   "When did I say that?"

  Fang Jifan stared at Emperor Hongzhi, as if you were teasing me.

  Emperor Hongzhi also stared at Fang Jifan with surprise in his eyes.

  Fang Jifan thought for a while, then looked at Zhu Houzhao: "His Royal Highness is also listening, it is clear that His Majesty..."

   "Yeah, didn't you say you died of illness?" Zhu Houzhao said.

  Emperor Hongzhi snapped: "I never said that!"

   Well, the emperor is always bigger than others, Fang Jifan has nothing to say.

   Dare to love, it's nothing but sorrow.

  Liu Jian and the others said excitedly: "Congratulations to Captain Prince Consort."

  They were very witty and avoided Fang Jifan's title of Marquis of the Town.

Then, everyone bowed down to Emperor Hongzhi: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, once the disease is eliminated, the Southwest has been settled. Since then, there has been a good way to fight the disease. The southwestern guards no longer have to worry about the future. Countless seriously ill soldiers can live. Going down, it will be of great benefit in guarding the southwest and developing the southwest."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked down at the memorial again. He had confirmed that it was Fang Jinglong's handwriting, and took a breath: "Fang Jifan, since you have good medicine, why didn't you say it earlier?"

  Fang Jifan said: "I said it, I just said it."

   "..." Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback.

   I vaguely remember that I said it, but of course I didn't take it to heart.

  I only think that this is Fang Jifan, grasping at the last straw.

  Even if Fang Jifan reported earlier, he might not believe it, right?

who cares.

  Emperor Hongzhi felt relieved, the big event has been decided, and this Fang Jifan always has a way when things happen.

  At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt that it was an extremely correct decision for him to let the princess marry, and pointed at Fang Jifan cheerfully: "This is my son-in-law."

   There is a bit of embarrassment in the words.

  Liu Jian and others breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the major event has been decided, they naturally became happy. Liu Jian said: "The captain's son-in-law does have something unique, and I admire it."

  Zhu Houzhao was about to stand up, but before he got up, Emperor Hongzhi glanced at him: "Prince, you kneel again, this is to teach you that as a human being, you must not forget your roots, and as a descendant, you need to drink water and think about the source."

   "Okay, okay." Zhu Houzhao nodded hastily like a quail: "My son, remember, I am willing to be punished, and I am willing to be punished."

   Kneel obediently.

  Emperor Hongzhi was suspicious at this time, and looked at Fang Jifan: "Where does this medicine for curing the epidemic come from?"

Fang Jifan thought that his father was safe and sound, he felt relieved, and said with ease and joy: "Xu Jing, my disciple, brought back countless seeds from the west when he returned to the voyage. I found that there was a tree among them, and I called him 'Guangzong Yaozu Xiao'. Gonggongshu'..."

   Xiao Jing, who was standing beside Emperor Hongzhi, turned green.

  A few days ago, Xiao Jing cheated Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jifan's small ledger is still recorded.

   Guangzong Yaozu...

  Everyone is cut off, and there is only a fart sect, showing off a weak ancestor.

   This is sarcasm, definitely sarcasm.

  Xiao Jing can be regarded as a decent person anyway, for no reason, suddenly his name was hung on a tree, Fang Jifan, we *your ancestor.

   But Xiao Jing had to show a flat look on his face, and kept silent. He couldn't get angry now, but calmed down. After all, the Southwest News had good news, could he still cry? This cry, what a disappointment.

  So...Xiao Jing still had a smile on his face, as if he had glorified his ancestors.
