Xiao Jing was ordered to visit the prince and Fang Jifan.

I smelled a scent of meat from afar.

He swallowed, and when someone led him in, he was stunned by the messy scene.

A large copper pot with red oil inside, which was still boiling and boiling. The aroma of beef emitted from it, making people salivate. There were several dishes of side dishes on the side. Fang Jifan held the meat and stuffed it into Zhu Houzhao's bowl. Zhu Houzhao was so happy that he danced with joy, and modestly said that Lao Fang, you eat it yourself, don't be polite.

Fang Jifan looked sideways and glanced at Xiao Jing who was coming in.

Xiao Jing felt blind.

He shouldn't have come at this time.

He was extremely embarrassed.

But the prince and Fang Jifan didn't feel embarrassed at all. Fang Jifan said, "Eunuch Xiao, what are you doing?"

"I am obeying the order." Xiao Jing's eyes deliberately fell somewhere else, and he muttered in his heart, "We didn't see it, we didn't see it. When he was obeying the order, he bowed his hands towards the palace and continued to say seriously: "I heard that the prince and the Duke of Qi are sick, so I'm here to visit."

"Oh." Zhu Houzhao put his feet on his feet, chewing the meat in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Just say that I am currently in diet therapy, and there is nothing serious. After ten days and a half months, the disease will be cured."

Xiao Jing: “…”

Fang Jifan smiled and said, "Eunuch Xiao, I think you look bad. This is a sign of kidney deficiency. Should I treat it too?"

"No, no." Xiao Jing waved his hand and squeezed out a little smile: "I...I am going to return the order. Your Highness, Duke of Qi, you are well recuperating. I...I am having trouble...I am having trouble..."

After saying that, the man had already fled.

"This dog thing." Zhu Houzhao looked dissatisfied: "I have never seen the world."

Fang Jifan smiled happily and said, "Eunuch Xiao is still a real person, so your highness doesn't have to worry about him anymore. Recently, the workshops in Beijing have burned coal everywhere, and the air is not good, and the smell of coal smoke is everywhere. Eunuch Xiao is old and has bad health. I am worried about Eunuch Xiao, and the air in the Golden Continent is very sweet. If you can send Eunuch Xiao to the Golden Continent in the future, let him enjoy his old age..."

Zhu Houzhao murmured, "Why do you keep your mouth shut now is the Golden Continent."

Fang Jifan looked like he was laughing. Isn’t the most proud thing in life just to send people to the Golden Island?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't understand this principle.

…………

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi was leaning on the desk with his face turned pale.

He can't sit for a long time now, and after sitting for a long time, he feels soreness in his back.

He is old.

Therefore, the idea of ​​letting the prince ascend the throne became stronger and stronger.

But... looking at the many memorials, most of them were seeking grievances for the gentry in Jiangnan. Before the court discussion began, the storm had already arrived.

These memorials did not dare to blame the emperor or criticize the prince, but directly pointed the finger at Xishan Money House.

This is actually understandable. After all... this matter was handled by Xishan Money House. The miserable accusation of the gentry of Jiangnan separated from his hometown was particularly cunning after the writings of these ministers.

Among these words, there is a tragic situation where the Jin people forced to migrate to the Northern Song Dynasty princes after the Jingkang Incident.

Emperor Hongzhi was frustrated to see it.

All the words inside and outside are accused Xishan Money House.

But everyone understands that Xishan Money Village is under the jurisdiction of Zhenguo Mansion. Who is the leader of Zhenguo Mansion? Who is the person who issued this decree?

Emperor Hongzhi understands the resentment of all officials.

It is normal to complain. Even Emperor Hongzhi thought of the countless gentry migrations, if there was no blood and tears, Emperor Hongzhi himself would not believe it.

The Ming Dynasty claimed that the country of the Celestial Empire was the richest place in the world, but it also regarded the rest of the world as a wild land, moved from the wealthy Jiangnan to the wild land, and lived in mixed with the natives. This... can life be better?

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly remembered the way a group of gentry was eating braised vegetables and wearing animal skins.

However, this is a national policy and is related to the foundation of the Ming Dynasty forever.

The opposition of the ministers made him both angry and worried.

He is not afraid that he can't control his ministers.

But his son is about to ascend the throne. Can the prince control these people?

If all officials cannot be convinced, then...who should the prince rely on to rule the world?

Emperor Hongzhi was completely selfless, and his hands were involuntarily knocking on the desk, beating the rhythm, his eyes seemed dull and he fell into deep thought.

At this time, Xiao Jing tiptoed in: "Your Majesty..."

"Ah..." Emperor Hongzhi looked up, suddenly came back to his senses, and then frowned and said, "How is the prince and Duke of Qi?"

"They are... curing the disease."

"I'm really sick?" A little anxiety flashed through Emperor Hongzhi's eyes.

He thought it was fake!

Xiao Jing looked unspeakable. He did not dare to deceive the emperor, but he also found that this matter could not be said.

Emperor Hongzhi had not received Xiao Jing's response for a long time, so he asked sternly: "What I am asking you!"

"Yes, yes..." Xiao Jing nodded quickly: "I have died, and the Crown Prince and Duke Qi... They... cough cough..." Xiao Jing raised his head and said: "There is a diagnosis from Xishan Medical College that they are indeed sick."

Xiao Jing began to admire his wit.

It’s also the matter of Xishan Medical College if you have any mistakes.

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

After this starts, there is much more to say below.

So Xiao Jing said again: "When I went there, the doctor told the prince Qi Duke to eat more hot food, such as beef, mutton, etc., and it is best to have some onions, garlic and chili..."

Emperor Hongzhi's face twitched. Suddenly, he understood roughly and couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "They are good. They have made a boast about Haikou, but asked me to clean up this mess, hum!"

After being angry, Emperor Hongzhi found that he had no choice but to do anything.

Deep down, he was inevitably a little disappointed. The prince was still a little out of control. Emperor Hongzhi didn't even mind that the prince and Duke Qi were inappropriate in the court discussion, but what he was frustrated was that the prince and Duke Qi actually escaped at the last moment.

If you are so irresponsible, how can you conquer the world in the future?

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and stared at Xiao Jing: "I understand."

"His Majesty……"

"I said..." Emperor Hongzhi's expression was stern: "I understand!"

"Yes, yes..." Xiao Jing no longer dared to make any noise.

After a long time, Emperor Hongzhi said again: "The factory guards have drawn up all the lists. Whoever is most criticized about this... Don't miss one."

"I understand." Xiao Jing glanced at Emperor Hongzhi deeply: "It's just... Your Majesty, I don't know if the court discussions in a few days..."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and finally said, "You have no jokes, how can you change your orders every day? Do you follow the usual rules."

…………

The end of the month.

The court discussion began.

Liu Jian expressed great concern about this court discussion.

He was not afraid of something, but he was worried about the safety of Xie Qian and others.

Liu Jian is the chief minister of the cabinet, so he naturally knows where the factory guards are and seems to be starting to inquire about something.

The retreat of the prince and Duke of Qi intensified Liu Jian's concerns.

Your Majesty is already old and has become less and less healthy. The emperor must be anxious at this time. Now all officials can still blatantly oppose the prince when his Majesty is still there. If the prince shows a high ability to control, your Majesty may show a tolerant attitude towards the "rude" of all officials this time.

But once... His Majesty thinks that the prince cannot control these ministers?

When Liu Jian thought of this, he couldn't help but shivered.

When he arrived outside the Meridian Gate, Liu Jian deliberately walked with Xie Qian. He was inconvenient to say something clearly, and he smiled and said, "The prince is still ill. Yu Qiao, we are ministers after all. Today, the court discusses... I think that everything should not be too much. I can understand your mood. It is said that most of your relatives have gone to Luzon..."

Before Liu Jian finished speaking, Xie Shang said, "I am not for my relatives, I just want to ask for an explanation. Gentlemen... Are they not the people of the Ming Dynasty, nor are they the people of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Everyone in the world heard that you can speak eloquently..." Liu Jian shook his head and sighed: "Your temper should be changed."

"I can't change it." Xie Qian's face showed a bit of tragic: "What's more, the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. This time it is really too much. If you don't explain it clearly, don't explain it clearly, and don't reveal this bottom. Mr. Liu, I feel so upset."

Liu Jian was even more worried and said with a stern face: "But you are the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. Yu Qiao, have you ever thought about how many people want to make you attack, so they can follow suit and even take this opportunity to deny the new policy and oppose the prince?"

Xie Qian was silent. After a while, he gritted his teeth: "The purpose of the new policy is to make the country safe and peaceful, but if countless subjects must be sacrificed because of the new policy, then... what's the difference between this old policy?"

How can I continue to say this? Liu Jian didn't say anything anymore.

All the ministers came to Fengtian Hall to meet, and Emperor Hongzhi's face became even worse.

Seeing everyone saluting, he nodded and stopped making a sound.

Liu Jian came out and said, "Your Majesty, the prince and the Duke of Qi have not arrived, I wonder if the court discussion will begin."

Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "Although they have not arrived, the court can discuss this national ceremony. It's better not to wait for them. What do you think of? Let's talk freely."

People looked at the empty positions of the prince and Duke of Qi, and some people couldn't help but sneer.

If you encounter something, you will hide from it, and you will not look like a monarch...

Someone had already sharpened his knife and was about to speak, but at this time, an eunuch hurried in to report: "Your Majesty... the prince and the Duke of Qi are here."

"Here..." People were upset.

Everyone looked at the location of the entrance of the hall.

But Zhu Houzhao was very energetic when he saw that his eyebrows were flying, and he was wearing military uniform.

Fang Jifan was behind him, wearing a purple python robe. The two of them raised their heads and chests, without looking sideways, looked at themselves and went straight into the hall.

Zhu Houzhao's outfit is really eye-opening.

The king and his ministers were stunned, but saw Zhu Houzhao coming to the hall and raised his head and said, "My son has seen his father, but my son is late, I beg him to forgive me."

His voice was like a bell, with vitality.
