Chapter 181: Heroes
After hearing Emperor Hongzhi's words, how could Fang Jinglong be untouched?
Fang Jinglong tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart, calmed down, and said, "Your Majesty is too modest, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also very wise."
He also wanted to stroke his beard and brag about himself, but he didn't dare.
How can you brag about yourself in front of His Majesty? You can only praise His Majesty.
Emperor Hongzhi blushed. He began to feel that the father and son of the Fang family were really annoying and didn't want to talk to them.
Fortunately, Emperor Hongzhi was a very well-educated person, so he paused and said, "This mountain camp has made a great contribution. This mountain camp is the Dinghai Sword I have to guard Yunnan and Guizhou. It is of great importance, so... I attach great importance to it. It must have someone I trust to go to the southwest. If I want to be the general of Guizhou, I can take office and take office and take office. Especially this mountain camp, the training and food and salary involved must be in charge of your own. What do you think?"
Fang Jifan knelt in the corner and immediately understood the emperor's meaning.
The great victory of the mountain camp has made the emperor pay special attention to the mountain camp, and it has become an important chess piece for the imperial court to stabilize the entire southwest.
But since mountain camps are so important, it would not be reassuring for ordinary people to control mountain camps. Nan and Bo Fang Jinglong had the experience of suppressing rebellions in Yunnan and Guizhou. This mountain camp was Fang Jifan's idea, so he ordered Fang Jinglong to be the general officer of Guizhou to control mountain camps, which was not only to fully master this new force, but also lay the foundation for promoting the experience of mountain camps in the future.
After hearing this, Fang Jinglong said, no one could agree, and hurriedly said, "I obey the order. Your Majesty..."
He wanted to continue saying something, but Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "Okay, you go back. Get it done early and set off in a few days to take up your post. No mistakes are allowed."
Fang Jinglong opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he could only shut up and then was driven away in shame.
But Emperor Hongzhi felt depressed.
He looked up at the beam of the warm room, then looked back at Fang Jifan, and then looked at Zhu Houzhao.
Then when I remembered Fang Jinglong's words just now, my heart... I felt a little sad.
After sighing, he lowered his head, removed his distracting thoughts and continued to review the memorials.
This also gave Fang Jifan the first opportunity to observe the emperor's day in person.
But... I obviously made great contributions, but I wanted to accompany Zhu Houzhao, the scumbag in the world, to be punished. I was really unwilling to accept it.
He felt his legs were already sore, but he saw Zhu Houzhao still calm.
Your uncle, His Highness the Crown Prince is very experienced.
Fang Jifan took advantage of Emperor Hongzhi's inattention and secretly tucked Zhu Houzhao's robe under his knees.
When Zhu Houzhao saw it, his eyes shone. Fang Jifan was wearing a long-sleeved Qilin suit. He was busy imitating Fang Jifan's actions and pulled Fang Jifan's corner sleeve to put it on his knees.
With support under my knees, I feel much more comfortable.
Emperor Hongzhi sat for more than an hour. He frowned, obviously he was extremely dissatisfied with the memorials from all over the place. Occasionally, he activates his muscles and his eyes sweeps the corners of the hall.
It was almost noon when the cabinet ministers Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian asked for a meeting.
The three of them saluted and seemed to notice Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao in the corner.
Liu Jian had no expression on his face, while Li Dongyang pretended not to see it, but Xie Qian seemed to be gloating.
At this time, Emperor Hongzhi said, "Give me a seat."
His expression seemed solemn: "Fang Jifan gave Xinjianbo and gave him 5,000 acres of land. The cabinet should draft an edict as soon as possible. He made great contributions and deserved rewards."
"Yes." Liu Jian nodded, and couldn't help but look in the direction of Fang Jifan again.
Fang Jifan felt that he was really a dog.
Emperor Hongzhi frowned again and said, "Have you seen the report from Shuntian Mansion?"
Liu Jian nodded again: "I have seen it, the thief is really bold."
"Yes." Emperor Hongzhi sighed. He was in a bad mood: "This Beggars' Sect actually fled to the capital... and the disasters are frequent today. Oh... Of course, this is also my fault..."
Of course, Liu Jian understood what Emperor Hongzhi was worried about.
"It is precisely because of this natural disaster that the Beggars' Sect's little ones have an opportunity to take advantage of. They compile nursery rhymes everywhere and sing ignorant children, which has indeed caused people's hearts to be disturbed."
When Fang Jifan heard this, he couldn't help but become alert.
Although he knelt in the corner, he obviously did not feel as an invisible person. He suddenly said, "What nursery rhymes are compiled by the Beggars' Sect?"
The monarch and ministers looked sideways and looked at Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan felt a little embarrassed, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Your Majesty, I want to hear it."
Emperor Hongzhi seemed a little anxious, but he didn't make any noise.
Liu Jian looked at Fang Jifan with a smile, but he did not underestimate this young man, thinking, this kid had just made great contributions, why did Your Majesty hit him?
He said: "It's all a ruthless word..."
Fang Jifan continued to ask: "Please give me advice from Mr. Liu."
I have said it was a ruthless thing, so I would like to give you some advice. I don’t know how to make up for it, so I have to ask the bottom line.
Liu Jian was speechless. How could he say it in front of the emperor? However, he was not very demeanor and said lightly: "It was the frost in winter and the severe drought at this time, which were all disasters caused by heaven, because... the court's improperity."
I'm afraid it's not because the court is unethical, and the court is not a human being, so where is the virtue?
So Fang Jifan immediately understood that the spearhead was not obvious enough? This means that the emperor did something that was angry and resentful, which led to natural disasters.
Liu Jian mentioned this point in a very obscure way, not to mention that this matter was reported to the emperor, which shows that these rumors have spread and are becoming increasingly fierce.
The so-called nursery rhymes are actually the most lethal.
On the one hand, the theory of ghosts can greatly influence the prestige of the court.
On the other hand, it can be widely spread. Anyway, it is to use the children's mouths to speak without restraint. If the court pursues a group of children for this, it will seem that the court is too stingy.
With natural disasters and evil words, you can imagine what the situation the court is facing now.
Soon, no one paid attention to Fang Jifan, and the monarch and his ministers continued to discuss.
There are obviously not many solutions.
Unless God appreciates his face, there will be a rain next.
But now it seems that today's gas is hot and there is no sign of rain.
Emperor Hongzhi said quietly: "Maybe this is indeed the reason why I have lost my virtues, which has caused disasters to God. However, if God wants to punish me, it will bring all disasters to me, so why should it affect my subjects?"
There was a bit of pain in his words.
This is actually understandable.
After all, since Emperor Hongzhi succeeded the Grand Reign, he has not had a day of peace, eliminated bad governments, was diligent in government affairs, and had no time to slack off in every matter of matters in the world. He got up early in the morning and midnight, and watched the mountain of memorials piled up. Without any entertainment, even his own children could not take time to discipline them.
What you can get is frequent natural disasters, which lead to disasters. In the end, all efforts and efforts may be ruined at any time.
He sighed and leaned against the back of the chair, looking extremely tired, closed his eyes and remained silent.
Liu Jian and others hurriedly said, "I will die if I wait for ten thousand times."
Hongzhi opened his eyes and smiled reluctantly: "Even Qing and others had to die."
This is not a joke, it is a kind of helplessness.
Liu Jian and others were the right-hand man of Emperor Hongzhi and the ministers of the humerus. Almost all decisions were made by the monarch and ministers.
And the abilities of these three people are also exemplary of capable ministers.
It’s just a pity that when they encountered God’s affairs, in this era, they couldn’t come up with any ideas, so they could only say that they would die, which was also their helplessness.
Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand powerlessly and said, "Let's stop here in Wu Dynasty, please go and have a rest."
Liu Jian and the other two had to retreat.
Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a long time before remembering Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao here. He said, "Get up, sit down."
The two of them were as if they were amnesty, and their legs were still trembling when they stood up.
Sitting down with difficulty, Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan and said, "Do you know why you asked your father to go to Guizhou?"
"I don't know." Fang Jifan is now honest.
Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Because I trust your father."
Fang Jifan knew that Emperor Hongzhi had some more things to do.
Sure enough, Emperor Hongzhi continued, "So, do you know why I want to punish you?"
Fang Jifan smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either."
Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan: "This is because I hope that one day I can trust you like my father who trusts you. Being a minister, you are more mature and polite, and there is nothing wrong with it. I can ignore you as slick as you are, but will others not care about it? You are still young, but people always have to grow up. If you can't grow up, I have to pull out seedlings to help you grow."
Well, it makes sense.
But……
Fang Jifan was unwilling to give up and said, "It's just that Your Majesty... I'm crazy... I'm crazy..."
"..." Emperor Hongzhi was stunned and his face changed slightly.
To be honest, if it weren't for Fang Jifan's mention, Emperor Hongzhi would have forgotten that Fang Jifan was still a brainless person.
Perhaps it was because of Fang Jifan's outstanding performance that Emperor Hongzhi ignored this point.
But now...
Fang Jifan continued: "This brain-destructive disease is bad, and it is bad on the head, and it is smooth-mouthed... It's just a sign. I don't want to talk nonsense, but I'm sick, I'm very ill."
Emperor Hongzhi was both suspicious and embarrassing.
It is already very sympathetic to a person when he is sick. If he is sick, will he still make great contributions to the court?
But if he was really sick, Fang Jifan would talk nonsense from time to time, and he would have been ignorant about this with a treacherous person. This... is not just unkind, but he is simply inferior to a pig or a dog.
Emperor Hongzhi has always known how to restrain himself and has established high moral standards for himself.
Now that he suddenly remembered this, he suddenly felt a sense of speechless guilt.
