Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 700 Great Grace

  Fang Jifan hasn't slept well these days.

  He was very worried about Wang Shouren.

  Among the disciples, Wang Shouren was the softest part of his heart.

   A rebellion in Cochin.

  My father has returned to Guiyang to guard, and it is not a matter of one day to suppress the rebellion.

   But Wang Shouren's disciple, he has an impulsive character.

   Nothing will happen, right?

  If something happens to him, who will take care of him?

  Fang Jifan sighed for a while, but Zhu Houzhao jumped up and down, looking extremely excited, rubbing his hands, full of thoughts that one day he would go to Jiaozhi to quell the chaos.

  The court is already shaking.

  Emperor Hongzhi received an urgent report.

  His complexion is extremely ugly.

   Immediately, Fang Jifan and others were called to have an audience.

  Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Ma Wensheng and others all had pale faces.

  Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath, and he slowly closed his eyes: "Sure enough, Cochin people cannot be educated!"

  This is really a disheartening thing.

In order to prevent the Jiaozhi people from rebelling, Daming learned the lessons of Emperor Wen’s time and continuously sent a large amount of money and food to Jiaozhi, so that the local officers and soldiers would not plunder the people. Daru, went to Jiaozhi, trying to educate them.

  Emperor Hongzhi has issued several decrees of grace, the temporary tax reduction and exemption for Cochin.

  I thought that such generosity and benevolence could make the Jiaozhi people return to their hearts and make them loyal to the imperial court.

   As a result, a rebellion collapsed immediately.

  The Minister of Rites, Zhang Shengdao: "Chen Wangzu, the academic officer of Jiaozhi, has written a letter to plead guilty. The minister who has committed the crime is willing to be punished by His Majesty."

"Education... is easy to say, but hard to do. The so-called enlightenment is to make people attach themselves." Emperor Hongzhi said blankly: "But if you want to conquer the hearts of Jiaozhi people, I'm afraid it will be as difficult as reaching the sky. Get rid of him , make him return to Beijing..."

  This Chen Wangzu really disappointed Emperor Hongzhi.

  Emperor Hongzhi showed a faint indifference: "And Wang Shouren, who also recalled the capital, the two of them..."

Speaking of this, Emperor Hongzhi wanted to give a stern reprimand, but in the end, he was used to being lenient, and he couldn't speak some harsh words, so he said lightly: "They have worked hard, but they have no merit. Daming wants to choose another wise man .”

  Fang Jifan didn't move much, and his mind wandered away.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan and said, "Fang Qing's family, do you think so?"

   "What?" Fang Jifan was taken aback, looking at Emperor Hongzhi.

  Emperor Hongzhi was speechless for a while: "I said that Chen Wangzu, the official nominee, and Wang Shouren, the deputy nominee, will be abolished."

   "Why?" Fang Jifan couldn't help asking.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Education is useless. In this rebellion, many Cochin scholars cling to the rebels. I didn't punish them. It is already magnanimous."

  Fang Jifan licked his lips: "Kechen is worried about one thing."

   "What's the matter?" Emperor Hongzhi was a little annoyed. He was talking about business, but your mind wandered away?

  Fang Jifan said painfully: "My minister is worried. My disciple Wang Shouren is an impulsive person. He can't teach him well, and he becomes angry from embarrassment. If he gets agitated and goes to kill the thief, my minister is very worried about his life."

  Unable to educate...become angry from embarrassment, go to kill...

  This...how is it a bit like your character, Fang Jifan?

  Wang Shouren looks like a very honest person, so it shouldn't be like this.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked confused.

  Liu Jian and others were also dumbfounded.

Li Dongyang, on the other hand, felt that Fang Jifan was exaggerating. He said lightly: "This man, Boan, I watched him grow up. He is quite stable, and he is a sincere gentleman who behaves politely. Although Boan is a student of the captain, but The old man...knows him well..."

  Fang Jifan said in his heart, you, Mr. Li, are still too tender. If you know your son, you are like your father. I am half his father. Don’t you know?

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, and said: "Stop talking about these gossips, and ordered Pingxi Hou to raise troops and attack. It's just... this rebellion has disappointed me. This Jiaozhi... is really tasteless. It's tasteless to eat and discard it. pity."

He actually developed some of the thoughts that Emperor Wen had in his later years. People in Jiaozhi refused to attach themselves, and they would rebel every now and then. Cochin... If it continues like this, Ming will continue to suppress the rebellion, and the Cochin people will continue to rebel. This is continuous blood loss.

  Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath, feeling depressed.

  The so-called expansion of territory is extremely difficult.

  How could it be as simple as the direction of the soldiers.

  Emperor Hongzhi continued: "The thieves are very powerful. In order to prevent them from happening, he ordered the Duke of Qian to send 30,000 troops to Jiaozhi to guard Nanjing. He also dispatched elite soldiers and horses... The money and food needed should come from internal funds."

  He said: "The thieves have been rampant to this point, and the moment they started an incident, they turned into a raging fire. This... is what worries me the most."

  He glanced around and saw Zhu Houzhao eager to try.

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "What do you want to say?"

Zhu Houzhao said: "It will be too late when the troops are dispatched. Now the thieves have just risen up, but they are just a mob. We should gather an elite force as quickly as possible to attack them, and we can crush them in one fell swoop." However, the most difficult part of this is the need for a brave general to take the lead in the sprint. My sons and ministers look around in and out of the court, and most of them have wine bags and rice bags, and there are also many mediocre people. Lao Fang... Don't get me wrong, I am not talking about your father , your father is okay, but he lacks courage."

  Fang Jifan wanted to strangle him.

  Emperor Hongzhi's face also pulled down: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Zhu Houzhao said: "Father, what I mean by this son is that no one in this world can compare with my son in terms of bravery. If my father grants you now, my son can ride alone all the way south without resting every day." , strive to arrive at Jiaozhi within half a month, and then quickly gather two or three thousand elites to suppress the rebellion, a group of rebels, nothing to worry about, my son is willing to share the worries of the father."

  Emperor Hongzhi turned green when he heard this.

  Liu Jian and others couldn't help but sigh, His Royal Highness... This is really full and nothing to do, free time.

  Emperor Hongzhi wanted to tell Zhu Houzhao that you are a man with sons, yet you are so unreliable, but when the words came to his lips, he finally smiled wryly and shook his head.

  My son is growing up.

   He was no longer the guy who could hang up and beat him back then.

  Emperor Hongzhi got up and said, "Retire, all lords."

  ...

  Zhu Houzhao was shut down, perhaps because he was beaten since he was a child. He always had a strong heart, and he was driven out of the warm pavilion, shaking his head, and threw the depression in his heart out of the sky.

   "Old Fang, come here, I've made up my mind."

  Fang Jifan folded his hands behind his back, full of emotion: "Your Highness, I will stop mentioning the matter of going to have intercourse. If Your Highness dares to go, I will report it immediately."

   "..." Zhu Houzhao suddenly started chirping and humming: "I know you are such a person, sycophant, coward."

  The two of them went out of the palace.

  ………

  In the warm pavilion, everyone dispersed.

  Emperor Hongzhi held the teacup, but fell into deep thought.

  He looked at the map. In this map, Jiaozhi has been included in the territory of Ming Dynasty. Within this territory, Ming Dynasty has been extended to the south and has been extended to the west.

   This was originally an excellent thing, but this extended 'stick' made Emperor Hongzhi very worried.

  Emperor Hongzhi suddenly said: "Ouyang Qing's family."

  Even though he was upset, Emperor Hongzhi was still amiable.

  Ouyang Zhi stood aside and said, "The minister is here."

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help following the sound, and took a look at Ouyang Zhi.

   This Hanlin, who accompanied him almost most of the time, made Emperor Hongzhi feel at ease.

   "I knew..." Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "I should have ordered you to go to Jiaozhi to educate the people. You are a mature and prudent person, and you are loyal. I entrust you to go. Perhaps this rebellion will not breed."

  After hearing this, Ouyang Zhi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Your Majesty, I can't bear such exaggeration, my junior brother..."

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "You mean Wang Shouren?"

Emperor Hongzhi smiled wryly: "He is just like Chen Wangzu, and he exaggerated. After the incident, Chen Wangzu still knew how to write a letter to plead guilty, but Wang Shouren didn't move at all. This is what I hate. Although he is a deputy academic officer, he doesn't He bears the main responsibility, but after all... this is also his lack of education, it is only natural to write a letter to plead guilty, this person is not good at things, but he is too proud."

  Emperor Hongzhi saw that Ouyang Zhi still wanted to explain, so he stood up: "Is it really so difficult to educate?"

  He saw that Ouyang Zhi didn't reply, turned around and saw Ouyang Zhi's aggrieved look, as if he was complaining about Wang Shouren, Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "The Qing family is so loyal."

  ………

  Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao arrived in Xishan, Zhu Houzhao rubbed his belly and felt hungry again.

   "Do you want to eat hot pot today?"

  Fang Jifan shook his head: "I'm in a bad mood today, I can't eat."

   "Old Fang, don't worry, isn't he just Wang Shouren? At worst, just call a few more disciples. If he dies, it's his bad luck. Don't take it to heart."

  Fang Jifan bared his teeth and said, "If Zhang Yuanxi had died, His Highness would not have said such things."

Zhu Houzhao clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "He is dead, I must be sad for half a stick of incense. Okay, okay, another cow died today. Do you think it's strange? The cows we herded in the back mountain recently Every now and then, I don't know who is shot to death by some conscienceless guy. This... this... I love the cow the most. This cow is full of treasures. It is a sharp weapon for farming. It, oops, when I think about it, I feel very uncomfortable. Why don't we simply fulfill the last wish of the cow before he died and eat it, lest the cow feel a little sorry for himself thinking that he has not plowed a few acres of land in his life Its master, so that it will not feel sorry for it and die with regret."
