"I obey the order." Xiao Jing smiled and picked up the report on the desk, held the report in his hand, looked down and was about to recite it, but suddenly felt a little stiff all over and was scared to pee.

"read!"

Xiao Jing was almost scared to tears, stammering his mouth, but couldn't make any sound.

His hands holding the report were trembling slightly.

Hongzhi looked at him sideways with a stern look.

Xiao Jing was about to cry: "I...I dare not...I dare not recite."

Emperor Hongzhi had a blue face and bit his lip: "Transfer the order, immediately... return to the palace..."

He suddenly said again: "Fang Jifan...he ran away really at the right time!"

…………

After working in Zhao Shiqian's dark workshop for several days, then returning to the capital, Fang Jifan felt like he was a different life.

Sure enough, the working people and the Duke of Beijing have a different experience.

It was getting late at night, but Fang Jifan did not dare to neglect and hurried to the Zhan Shi Mansion first. Sure enough, Zhu Houzhao had been sitting in the Zhan Shi Mansion these days.

The guards in front of the door did not dare to stop Fang Jifan. Fang Jifan went in frenzy and went straight into the main hall. Then he saw that the lights were rising in the main hall. However, Gu Dayong held a ticket in his hand and said, "Your Highness, the governor of Liaodong came to report that the Liaodong military farming was quite effective. I beg the court to send more military farming lieutenants to Liaodong. He will establish agricultural offices in various parts of Liaodong and ask the lieutenants to teach agriculture."

Gu Dayong paused and continued: "Catal Grand Secretary Liu Jianzhe planned to say that this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people."

But Zhu Houzhao sat behind the desk, hooked her sweater, flew her hands, and said, "Come on. Come on, help me make a red note."

Gu Dayong hurriedly took the red pen and hooked it around, then picked up the next memorial.

Zhu Houzhao looked up and the needles on both hands suddenly froze.

"Lao Fang." Zhu Houzhao smiled with her eyebrows.

Fang Jifan hurriedly stepped forward: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Haha." Putting down the sweater and the ball of thread, Zhu Houzhao suddenly stood up and stepped forward: "They all said that you and your father disappeared, and they were scared to death, but I knew that you must have been hiding where to visit privately. I don't know what kind of virtues of my father, will I not know your temperament? Oh, the father is back, too?"

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty has not returned yet. I miss His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and am very concerned about it, so I come back first."

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was fine, he squatted in the Zhan Shi Mansion to supervise the country. Fang Jifan breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Houzhao was happy, and stepped forward and patted Fang Jifan on the shoulder: "I am also worried about you. Come on, sit down quickly. The country is so tired... I really envy you and can wander around."

Fang Jifan said seriously with a stern face: "Your Highness, the prince, is for the sake of..."

"One reason." Zhu Houzhao interrupted him: "Are you still having fun? Come on, sit down, I'll pour you tea."

Gu Dayong said with a hurried smile: "Your Highness, go."

Zhu Houzhao kicked him with her feet: "Get out of here."

Gu Dayong let out a whine, hiding obediently in the corner like a stray dog.

Zhu Houzhao poured a pair of tea himself and said, "I am so tired. This prince of the country is really not done by anyone. There are so many tedious things in the world, so I have to do it..."

Fang Jifan took a sip of tea and felt relieved. As long as it was okay, it would be fine.

Fang Jifan smiled and stood up, and looked at Zhu Houzhao's desk. There were balls of wire and half-knitted sweaters on the desk.

Zhu Houzhao said: "This is for the daughters. I thought I had to weave one piece for Zai Mo, but after weaving it, I felt that I should not be favored by one or the other, and I also had to weave one for my daughters, but... I was so tired, I had to weave seventeen pieces. Oh, and I felt that I could not be favored by one or the other, but I also had to weave one for Zhengqing, and... "

He looked in pain by his fingers.

Fang Jifan's eyes fell on the desk again, and on a stack of drawings, he picked up the drawings. This was obviously a drawing of the Steam Engine Research Institute: "Your Highness is still concerned about the research institute these days?"

"This is natural." Zhu Houzhao said: "Those dogs are useless. If I don't take the helm, they will not be able to let go."

Fang Jifan looked up again and saw a map hanging on the wall. This map was obviously the mountains and geography of Datong. On top of it, the location of the "Dai Wang" was specially marked.

King Dai...

Fang Jifan glanced at Zhu Houzhao suspiciously.

Many people don’t remember this “Dai Wang”. This Dai Wang is the thirteenth son of Emperor Taizu Gao. He was first named King Yu, and then he was named King Dai, and his fief was in Datong.

This first generation Dai King was also a strange person. He was irritable. In the first year of Jianwen, Emperor Jianwen was preparing to reduce the vassal states, so he attacked him first and deposed him as a commoner. After Emperor Wen ascended the throne, he restored his title. But he still did not improve. Emperor Wen gave him a seal and said, "I heard that my brother would kill and get wealth. The people in the country are very distressed. Is there any complaints? Is the king alone not remembering the time of Jianwen?" After warning him, Emperor Wen, who was also irritated to warn him, ordered that the royal palace would not be able to serve the military and civilians and accumulate wealth from now on. At that time, the Dai King had been accused of his misbehavior many times. Emperor Wen gave him an imperial edict to list 32 crimes and summon him to the court, but he refused to go. Emperor Wen was angry. When he summoned him the second time, he sent him back and removed his three guards in the middle, and did not restore his guard until the sixteenth year of Yongle.

It was so weird, but it was smooth sailing since then. His grandson attacked his king's title. It has been passed down for four generations. The current King of Dai is called Zhu Junzhang, and its name is a bit unlucky. Fang Jifan mistakenly thought that his name was Zhu Zhirang. Of course, these are all details. The problem is, how did the Prince care so much about this King of Dai?

When Zhu Houzhao saw that Fang Jifan was interested, he was happy: "Lao Fang, do you know that last time, my nephew Zhu Houcan poisoned me, the factory guard, didn't he go to check?"

Fang Jifan nodded: "Do you have any eyebrows?"

"Yes, after the show, the most suspicious one is this generation of kings."

"It's him..." Fang Jifan was stunned, and then he became thoughtful. Zhu Houcong was poisoned several days after the imperial court summoned the sect kings to Beijing. With the current transportation conditions and a few days, he had such a rapid reaction. If he was a sect king in a remote area, he would definitely not have time to arrange personnel.

Only this generation of kings is in Datong Mansion.

Although... this guy has always existed as a small and transparent person, his energy is still quite large.

Zhu Houzhao said: "The factory guards continue to investigate deeply. Are you surprised? It just happened... from Datong, the day before Zhu Houcan was poisoned, the day before Zhu Houcan was poisoned, the Dai Palace sent a secret letter and arrived at the capital."

Fang Jifan frowned: "In this way, is the King of Dai Zhu Zhirang retarded, no, Zhu Jun's hand was made by the stick?"

Zhu Houzhao smiled bitterly: "Although that's the case, there is no evidence yet. The factory guards are already trying hard to investigate. However... they are too slow. It is too difficult to find iron proof. But if there is no iron proof, it is not easy to criticize a prince for his ill-gotten plot."

Fang Jifan nodded.

It was originally necessary to summon all clans to the capital, but at this time, rashly accusing Zhu Junzhang of rebellion on a false charge, which would definitely arouse the doubts of the clans.

Zhu Houzhao was happy: "However, he wanted to fight with me, hehe, but he found the wrong person. You wait and see. Within a few days, I will take his life."

"What?" Fang Jifan was surprised: "Your Highness, does the Crown Prince have any good solutions?"

"Of course there is." Zhu Houzhao said: "This is a way to attack the heart. This time, he failed to poison the poison, and the court now urged relatives from all over the country to come to Beijing. Think about it, isn't he afraid of Zhu Jun's stick? At the beginning, Emperor Wen summoned his great-grandfather to come to Beijing, and his great-grandfather had disobeyed, but this time it was different. The so-called guilty feeling of being a thief. If this poison was really caused by him, he would definitely be very guilty. He did not dare to bring his whole family to Beijing, and he was also afraid that the court would punish him. He was even more afraid that the truth would be revealed and there would be no place to die."

Fang Jifan nodded.

It makes sense. If it was really done by King Zhu Junzhang of the Dynasty, the poisoning failed, and the factory guards began to follow the clues. At this moment, he must be uneasy. He did not dare to come to Beijing, and was at the mercy of others, and was also afraid... Once the incident happened, life would be worse than death.

"He must have been restless these days, and he dared to poison Zhu Houyan rashly. It can be seen that this man is an impatient person. He is anxious and afraid of crime. He must have always doubted that the court has begun to arrange for him and is dealing with him..." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "So, this palace has arranged a wonderful plan to lead the snake out of the hole, and ask you to get into the trap."

In terms of IQ, Fang Jifan had no doubts about Zhu Houzhao.

This guy is quite smart. He said there is a way, but I think... this way is not bad.

Fang Jifan smiled and said, "Your Highness, I don't know how to lead the snake out of the hole."

"He was anxious, just like a person who fell into the water. He must have wanted to grab a life-saving straw."

Fang Jifan nodded, it made sense.

"So, what if I deliberately created him a chance."

"Um?"

"So, my palace ordered Zai Mo and Zhengqing and others to take Zhengdewei to Datong..."

The smile on Fang Jifan's face gradually disappeared.

"I can hunt on Xiaowutai Mountain between Datong and the capital. This is a big piece of fat. The more I am afraid and uneasy the King of Dai is, coupled with his impatient attitude, if he really takes the action, guess what...will he be?"

Fang Jifan fought against each other, and Qi Qiai Ai said, "Oh... Your Highness the Prince is really a fantasy, but... I think... Zai Mo and Zhengqing are still young, so there is no need to do this, they are still children..."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "It is because they are children that the King of Dai Zhu Jun can relax his guard. I have a chance for them to hold Zai Mo and others hostage him. Not only that, I also secretly released news to the outside world that the murderer who poisoned Zhu Houcan has been found and his true form has been revealed."

Fang Jifan smiled: "Your Highness, the prince is taking a dangerous move. Okay, goodbye. I haven't seen Zai Mo and Zhengqing for many days, so I've gone to visit them first."

Zhu Houzhao put his hands behind his back: "No need to go. Last evening, they had already set off, left Xishan, and went to Xiaowutai Mountain!"
