Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 770 Lone Wolf

  New document(1324)

   Zhu Gongyi was a little depressed.

   I invite you to drink and cry so much, it is your uncle anyway, why don't His Royal Highness comfort you.

  Although King Su is not a close branch among the clan kings, and he has no face, but at any rate, this king has shed tears for a liter and a half.

  Zhu Gongzhen was depressed.

   Finally, I caught the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with the prince, but in the end, the prince just opened his belly to eat. The generals he came here were all like starving ghosts, their faces were flushed with food, and they wished they could set up iron pots to hold rice and meat.

   After eating, Zhu Houzhao got up: "I'm full, Uncle Wang, I'm sleepy."

"Hahahaha..." Zhu Gongchen smiled: "Your Highness, the barracks for the soldiers and the place where His Highness will stay have been prepared long ago, please please." After finishing speaking, he winked at Zhu Houzhao: "I found out the day before yesterday. Your Highness please accept the stunning women of national beauty and heavenly fragrance."

   "Oh." Zhu Houzhao nodded.

  Under the care of Zhu Hou, it seems that all this is what Zhu Gongyi should do, Uncle Wang...

   Zhu Gongxuan didn’t sleep well all night, what does this mean, what does it mean? Did I say something wrong somewhere, or...in Beijing, someone slandered me, otherwise, His Royal Highness...why wouldn't you be able to make up your mind?

  He pondered like this all night, pacing back and forth in the hall anxiously, sighing.

  When it was daylight, I felt a little sleepy, that's all, that's all, I don't want to guess, and there is no result.

  He was about to go to the sleeping hall, but a **** stumbled over: "My lord, it's not good, it's not good, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness... He left the city with his troops half an hour ago."

  When Zhu Gongyi heard it, he almost exploded on the spot.

   "..."

   Obviously, as a prince in a remote area, he has relatively little experience and has never seen such a routine.

  Zhu Gongxuan is considered an honest person, and honest people have relatively rigid thinking, so of course he would not have thought that he could still play like this.

   "What, what, what do you mean? Out of the city, what are you doing out of the city, there are no rabbits outside the city!"

  The **** was trembling and fell to the ground, as if the sky was falling: "His Royal Highness only left one sentence."

   "What?" Zhu Gongxuan wanted to stamp his feet.

   "To follow the example of the champion..."

   To follow...the champion.

  The champion, Hou Huo Qubing, once set out from Hexi and led a team of elite cavalry to attack the desert.

   As a result, everyone has seen it, and the result is not bad.

But…

  Zhu Gongzhen's eyes darkened: "There are no good people in the royal family."

   These words have a source.

  When Emperor Chenghua was there, he sent guarding eunuchs to Lanzhou, saying that they wanted to collect mining taxes, which made Lanzhou very difficult. Zhu Gongzhen felt this way at that time.

  The next sentence should have said that there is no good thing about the surname Zhu. Fortunately, Zhu Gongqi still remembered that his surname was also Zhu.

   "More than a thousand people?"

   "Yes, just over a thousand people."

Zhu Gongxuan burst into tears: "This king's seal in Lanzhou is already a crime. Why do you still have to spread such a thing? This prince, he has planned everything to get out of the city and enter the desert? It's terrible, it's too terrible, he is not close to women." ..."

   "He is close to women..." the **** said to Zhu Gong.

  Zhu Gongxuan was a little dazed, last night, I gave him a few beauties, and since I gave them, there was nothing to say, but he left the city before dawn, thinking about it, he was indifferent to that beauty.

But…

   "What do you mean?"

The **** said: "I heard from the people who are with the prince that His Royal Highness has been tossing until midnight. At the second watch, there was still movement in the house, but at the third watch, the prince came out in uniform and said he was going to the camp. Before dawn, I left with people whimpering."

   "..."

  Zhu Gongzhen pinched his fingers, after two shifts, he left after three shifts...

  Young...how nice...

   "Your Highness... this slave feels..."

"What a fart!" Zhu Gongxuan said angrily, "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and report to the court! Report to the court! The crown prince...is out of customs. Also, don't report on the matter of sending the beauties, just say The prince didn't sleep all night, and left before dawn, hurry up, hurry up! If something goes wrong, this king can't afford to take care of it, and you, a slave, can't take care of it either."

"yes."

  ………

  Emperor Hongzhi was very annoyed, why didn't Fang Jifan leave yet?

   According to the latest report, after Nayan Da Khan pulled down several military fortresses, he had already killed the city of Datong, and the war was imminent.

  Zhang Mao has issued several military orders in a row, urging reinforcements from all walks of life to form a siege of the Tatars in Datong, and countless troops began to gather.

  But that kid Fang Jifan still stayed in the capital under the pretext that the time had not come.

  This guy... has a very problematic attitude, shouldn't he be beaten.

  Fang Jifan was recruited, and Fang Jifan entered the palace: "I have seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

  Emperor Hongzhi said with a cold face: "I ordered you to go to Datong, why haven't you gone yet?"

  Fang Jifan said: "The minister is training soldiers."

  Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows: "It's only now that you come here to hug Buddha's feet."

  Fang Jifan had a bitter face: "It's all to blame for the damned Tatars. They attacked suddenly and fought too hastily. But thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, these soldiers have already trained, and my ministers will set off tomorrow."

  Emperor Hongzhi's face softened a little: "If you really feel unwell, I won't embarrass you."

  Fang Jifan shook his head: "My minister is serving His Majesty, and I am too happy to be happy. When I think of His Majesty's past grace, I feel energetic, and even my brain disease has been relieved a lot. My minister is not sick. I must go to Datong."

  Emperor Hongzhi just burst out laughing.

  He suddenly said: "Is there any news from the prince?"

  Fang Jifan shook his head: "I don't know."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "I was thinking, why the Tatars are always resurgent. Since Emperor Taizu Gao, for more than a hundred years, my Ming's victory against the desert is not small, but after a few years, They recharged their batteries and came to invade the border town again..."

Fang Jifan thought for a while, and said: "Because the Ming Dynasty's strategy is mostly based on defense, so it is true that the Tatars were defeated once or twice. As long as they retreated to the desert to recuperate, they would come south to invade again. Think There is only one way to completely solve this problem..."

   "Oh?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan expectantly.

Fang Jifan said: "It is to take the initiative to attack, just like they went south to hunt Caogu. We, Ming Dynasty, also want to hunt Caogu, until they will never have peace. They go to the desert every now and then to beat them. What about the invasion? Every time the Ming Dynasty defended against the Tatars, they were unable to break their bones, and this is the root cause of the Tatars’ resurgence.”

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "It's just a pity, we Han people are not good at riding and shooting, otherwise, why would we sit in the city and let the Tatars do what they want? The Qing family is justified."

"Okay." Emperor Hongzhi cheered up: "Let's set off quickly tomorrow. I ordered you to go to Datong to teach you some military exploits, so that no one will say that you spend your time in Beijing all day long. Lang Juxu, this life wish, you are a young man, so it should be."

  Fang Jifan nodded simply: "Your Majesty said so."

   Just about to say goodbye.

  At this time, a **** came in a hurry: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Lanzhou."

  Emperor Hongzhi was happy when he heard the word Lanzhou.

   "Hahahaha...the prince has heard." Emperor Hongzhi burst into joy.

  Usually this son is always messing around, today, I am also teasing him, think about it, when the prince arrives in Lanzhou, seeing the calm outside the city, he must be so angry.

  He accepted the report, and when he saw it, the smile on his face...was solidified, and then...disappeared gradually.

  The report in his hand fell, and then he supported his forehead.

  Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's the matter with you." Fang Jifan hurried forward and supported Emperor Hongzhi.

  Emperor Hongzhi felt that his eyes were dark.

   "I... I..."

  Fang Jifan told Emperor Hongzhi to sit down before he picked up the memorial, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

  His Royal Highness, he... He has more than a thousand people, and he actually went to the desert.

   It’s true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, he is a man.

  Fang Jifan's blood was boiling with excitement, but his heart was extremely agitated.

  You can see Emperor Hongzhi...Fang Jifan immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't worry..."

  Emperor Hongzhi actually didn't even have any anger, just a face...unspeakable.

After a long time, he said: "I gave birth to a freak. If a good prince doesn't do it, he insists on doing such dangerous things. I thought I could tease him this time and let him learn a lesson. How would I know? His stubbornness is still far beyond my imagination, Jifan, tell me...you tell me, this prince...is he still worthy of being a son of man?"

  Fang Jifan shook his head, and couldn't help but feel worried. Obviously, Zhu Houzhao played a little too much this time. He shook his head: "To be fair, the prince's behavior is really nothing."

  Emperor Hongzhi felt that his body was a little paralyzed, and he couldn't arouse the slightest interest. He couldn't help crying and laughing, and his heart was burning with anxiety.

   But next, Fang Jifan said: "As a son of man, parents are worried for no reason. Is this kind of person still a human? Even a porcupine dog is not as good as it!"

"But..." Fang Jifan sighed in his heart, this is Zhu Houzhao's nature: "But, Your Majesty, as a prince, my sons and ministers admire him very much. In the past dynasties, how many princes lived in the palace, ignorant of world affairs, and thought that They are high above themselves, and the country is in danger. They call themselves Qianlong, but the current prince can take the lead, so what's wrong? Now that the Tatars are in front of them, His Royal Highness is not afraid of death. This is the real truth. Inspiring, Your Majesty, the sons of military households will go to the battlefield, and the sons of craftsmen will also be conscripted. Even the sons of peasant households will be dragged to deliver grain and grass? Son, why can't you fight alongside the sons of peasants, craftsmen, and military households?"
