Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 669 Your Majesty is so generous

  In the warm pavilion.

  See Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao leave.

  Emperor Hongzhi felt a sense of relief just now, and he sighed deeply in his heart, why every time someone mentioned this desert land, he made himself a bit ashamed as the emperor.

   This matter is indeed unreasonable.

   regret listening to the words of the prince.

  But the ministers who were holding back just now saw Fang Jifan walk away, and the entire warm pavilion was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

   That Zhang Sheng suspected that Fang Jifan had stuffed a student as a vice-president, so he pointed out the affairs of the Ministry of Rites. You Fang Jifan also understand how this is a place for missionary education? Isn't it just that you can teach people to do stereotypes, your tail is going to be raised, hmph... When I Zhang was promoted to teach the place, you Fang Jifan hadn't taken off your milk yet.

   But Zhang Sheng felt ashamed, the main reason was that the person he recommended was not appropriate, which made him feel ashamed, so he simply took the matter of the desert as a joke, teasing and teasing Fang Jifan, so that he could regain some face.

  Zhang Sheng said with a smile: "Fang Jifan is young after all, and he can't hold his breath. When the old man sees him listening to the land of the desert, his face becomes unnatural."

  Ma Wensheng said with a pleasant smile: "Young man, ahem...Actually...Fang Jifan is still loyal. His Majesty gave him the land of the desert, and he never complained."

   "Yeah, yeah..." I don't know which guy, his brain twitched, and he couldn't help saying: "Good guy."

   "..."

  Everyone tried hard to express some opinions, but at the same time, they tried their best to restrain themselves and not to speak too much.

So, you said something, I said something, even Li Dongyang, who has always been taciturn, said: "In the desert, at least cattle and sheep can be raised. Now cattle and sheep are expensive, and the Tatars are now mainly entrenched in the Mobei area. Hexi and Monan haven't come and gone often since they experienced a big defeat. I heard that Fang Jifan is still trying to grow food in the desert. In the future, maybe he can really farm, and in time..."

  Everyone smiled.

   This is a wonderful expectation.

  Certainly...who will grow it?

   Just because of this not-so-fertile land, let countless people have their brains strapped to their waistbands?

   Difficult.

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but change his face when he saw the people teasing him. He looked extremely embarrassed, and immediately coughed: "Okay, stop joking."

"yes."

  When Emperor Hongzhi said this, he suddenly couldn't help laughing.

   After all, Fang Jifan is a bit arrogant on weekdays. Of course, his arrogance naturally has his arrogance. Emperor Hongzhi has long been used to his thieves.

  Although the land was rewarded by him, and Fang Jifan was still his son-in-law.

  But... thinking of Fang Jifan's defeat, Emperor Hongzhi was still in a good mood.

   "Young man, it will be fine after a bit of tempering." Emperor Hongzhi said, just about to say something.

  At this time, an **** came in from outside: "Your Majesty, the crown prince and his son-in-law Du Wei Fang Jifan, please see me."

   is back again...

  Emperor Hongzhi's face was pulled down.

  The other smiling ministers also accepted their smiles.

  Heavy looks one by one.

   "Xuan!"

  Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan stepped in quickly, and before Emperor Hongzhi could speak, Fang Jifan said seriously: "Your Majesty... I have something to say."

  Just now he didn’t play it, but now he plays it. What kind of plan is this guy...in the end.

  Everyone looked at Fang Jifan calmly with smiles on their faces.

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "What's the matter with the Qing family?"

Fang Jifan said seriously: "After thinking about it, I still feel that in the whole world, is it the king's land, the shore of the land, or the king's subject. Your Majesty owns the land of the four seas. How can a son-in-law dare to occupy the rich land? Your Majesty has great love for your son and Princess Taikang, and even gave him the land of the desert. I really dare not accept it. Therefore, I still hope that your Majesty will take back this treasure land. My son dare not accept it. Your Majesty will just give you a few acres of land My son, my son is already very grateful."

   "..."

  The fat place.

  Fang Jifan actually said that this desert is a fertile land.

   also said that the reward was too heavy, and asked the emperor to take it back.

  Everyone was dumbfounded, staring wide-eyed.

   Then, everyone looked at Emperor Hongzhi unanimously, this look...weird.

  Of course, Emperor Hongzhi can interpret these eyes. It is nothing more than saying, Your Majesty, Fang Jifan is mocking you again. You can figure it out.

  Emperor Hongzhi pulled his face, frowned deeply and stared at Fang Jifan.

  This guy...has already rejected it several times, didn't I understand clearly? I opened the golden mouth to tell the world, you boy, why are you still here.

   Doesn’t this make me unable to step down?

  And in front of all the ministers...you...

  Emperor Hongzhi said sternly: "Don't talk about this matter again. I have said it. How can I be dishonest and untrustworthy to the people of the world? In the desert, if it is yours, it is yours. Don't talk too much."

  The tone was very displeased, even showing a bit of impatience.

Although Emperor Hongzhi's attitude was firm, Fang Jifan was not greedy, but said with deep sorrow: "Your Majesty, no, this desert land is really a huge fortune, and there are treasures everywhere. Let me be honest and honest, that's right, I have made great contributions, this court is full of civil and military affairs, I am not bragging, they are not as good as a single hair of my son..."

  Originally, all the officials were watching the excitement, but in fact, the Weng and his son-in-law are fighting each other, which is actually quite interesting.

  After all, the officials in this temple are usually under a lot of pressure, their official duties are heavy, and there is no entertainment. It is rare to watch a good scene easily.

  But...Fang Jifan, why are you talking, why are we not as good as you, are you upright? You are brazen.

  If someone else had said this, it would have been over long ago.

But Fang Jifan is Fang Jifan, this guy has always been like this, even if his words are harsh and unpleasant, most people think in their hearts, calm down, calm down, Fang Jifan is like this, he is a person with brain disease, and this Kind of angry... not worth it.

Fang Jifan said: "Your servant thinks that the Great Ming ruled all over the world, rewarded for meritorious service, and punished for demerit, but the desert is fertile and wild, how vast it is, this is a national weapon, how can it be given to others easily, what virtue and ability are you, my minister, How dare you accept such a generous gift? If Your Majesty can take back his life, I will be grateful... I will not be able to take this desert land, and I dare not take it."

   What he said was righteous.

Liu Jian looked like an old god, and said in his heart, Fang Jifan, this child, has passed the hypocrisy. This desert is worthless, not to mention, it is not the territory of the Ming Dynasty. It is given to you. Oppose, none of the soldiers and civilians in the world has anything to say, you just accept it, and refuse every now and then, doesn't this make His Majesty not come to Taiwan?

  Your Majesty... I'm a bit stingy, but I can't make fun of the desert every day.

  From now on, how will His Majesty behave in front of the ministers, and how should he face the common people in the world?

  Zhang Sheng was even more happy. Fang Jifan not only reached out to the Ministry of Rites, but also wanted to teach the Ministry of Rites how to preach to the place. Now it is good, and by the way, he has to educate the emperor.

  Ma Wensheng thought in his heart, this is a tragedy, Fang Jifan, please calm down, the old man wants to calm down but can't get it, you are looking for trouble for nothing, your skin is itchy.

  Emperor Hongzhi pulled his face down as expected, and stared deeply at Fang Jifan with stern eyes.

  Zhu Houzhao was taken aback and trembled a little, would he beat Ben Gong? It seems to be like this in the past...but Ben Gong...should have done nothing wrong today.

Emperor Hongzhi sternly said: "Enough, this land was not given to you by Fang Jifan, but by me to Princess Taikang. What do you mean when you refuse again and again? I have said it more than ten times, and I have said it again and again. Out of this place, this land of desert has been owned by Princess Taikang since then, and it is the farm of the princess mansion. If the princess has children in the future, she can inherit it herself! Successor Fan, the matter of returning the land of desert in the future must not be mentioned again. Again, I will never forgive you lightly."

   "But..." Fang Jifan looked aggrieved.

  His heart was bleeding.

  Fang Jifan... After Zhongliang, he is always planning for my Ming Dynasty, and his loyalty to my Ming Dynasty is a lesson from day to day.

But why is Your Majesty so stupid? I can’t accept that I have to fortify this geomantic treasure to me. I, Fang Jifan, regard money as dung, and love the country more than my parents. My whole body, Fang Jifan, is the imperial court. Your Majesty's...

  Seeing Fang Jifan's aggrieved face.

  Emperor Hongzhi's face softened, but he was still soft-hearted after all. He was never a decisive person, and he was about to open his mouth to say a few words of relief.

But Fang Jifan said: "But... my son... my son is just worried that the Fang family has earned too much money, so it will be bad. Your Majesty, the land on the west of the river is full of gold sand, silver mines and copper mines. There are coal and iron, and there are countless... My son... I was thinking, if it was just an ordinary land, it would be given by His Majesty. Such a treasure land of geomantic omen, my son... wants to dedicate it to His Majesty, to the court, is it... not like this is it okay?"

   "No!" Emperor Hongzhi didn't give Fang Jifan the slightest chance.

  Everyone couldn't help laughing at Fang Jifan's aggrieved appearance. In the warm pavilion, a cheerful atmosphere became active again.

  However... It seems that someone suddenly heard the words gold, silver, copper, coal and iron all over the place.

  Of course, this is just a detail, it doesn't seem to be the point.

  But when Emperor Hongzhi said no, even Emperor Hongzhi suddenly... felt something was wrong.

  Fang Jifan sighed with regret: "Hey, since this is the case, I have no choice but to accept it. I must find a way to dig out this treasure and store it in my Ming Dynasty."

   "What treasure?" Emperor Hongzhi frowned and asked in astonishment.

Fang Jifan couldn't help but sternly said: "Didn't my son say that? There are gold sands in the river, and there are silver mines, one after another, black and white. There are also copper mines, which are of excellent quality... serious brass ...the others...I can't count them all."

   "..."
