Chapter six hundred and thirteen: right to success
This stack of yellow paper is certainly a joke.
But it depends on the person.
As the saying goes, there is something, and if you don’t believe, there is nothing.
If he meets someone like Emperor Hongzhi who fails to get into the world, he will personally descend to earth, and as usual, he will not believe in this.
But if the Empress Dowager like this, she believed it all her life, the more she would be the better.
I heard that it was a alchemy book given by Da Zhenren, so the Empress Dowager dared not be negligent. After taking it, I found that this was indeed Da Zhenren's work.
This great master of Longhu Mountain is the head of the world's righteousness and the descendant of Zhang Daoling. He is extraordinary and has a unique status. Although he met a fierce and evil spirit like Emperor Taizu Gao and dealt with him hard, at other times, even the palace was respected.
To this day, this great real man is nothing to Fang Jifan. He has a pain in his waist and is his junior brother of his sect. It would be great if he didn't go to trouble him. He also begged him to do it. He just needs to let Li Chaowen understand the pros and cons, and what can't be done?
Fang Jifan is not bragging. No one in the world who practices Taoism or is a monk in a temple dares not to give Fang Jifan face. Whether it is a monk who has attained enlightenment or a promising monk, people can kill people, and Buddhas can kill Buddhas.
The Empress Dowager looked at it carefully and couldn't help but take a breath. Is Fang Jifan and Xiurong so fit to this point?
Zhu Houzhao didn't believe it at all, so he immediately shouted: "Great-grandmother, don't believe him. Fang Jifan has a high seniority in Zhengyidao. He even boasted to me that the Taoists in the world are all his disciples..."
This one is really well dismantled.
Fang Jifan complained secretly in his heart, but in just a moment, he came to his senses and spoke to everyone with righteousness.
"It's okay for Your Highness to misunderstand me. Why do you insult the real people and the monks?..." Fang Jifan almost said that they were still children. After thinking about it carefully, although most of them were their disciples, these people were not related to their children at their age, so they changed their words: "They are all people who have attained enlightenment."
The Empress Dowager also looked solemn and spat at Zhu Houzhao: "Crown Prince, don't be inconsistent. You are the crown prince and the crown prince. These are all virtuous people. How could they make prophecies in the will of heaven because of their closeness and distantness with Fang Jifan? If they were heard by outsiders, then that would be great?"
Zhu Houzhao was scolded and blushed with anger. He couldn't help but say in anger: "Grandmother, these people are all cheaters. How can they have any cultivation? Does the emperor's grandmother believe in these people, but they don't believe in Sun Chen?"
The Empress Dowager looked at Zhu Houzhao, then looked at the bamboo sticks and yellow paper in her hand. She seemed to have already had an idea and waved her hand to Zhu Houzhao: "Stop."
“…”
Zhu Houzhao was speechless.
The Empress Dowager finished watching patiently, took a deep breath, and stared at Fang Jifan: "You and Xiurong have known each other for a long time, right?"
Fang Jifan nodded solemnly: "Yes."
The Empress Dowager looked at Fang Jifan deeply and looked at him.
She still has a very good impression of Fang Jifan. She is a very real person, very reliable person, and knows how to follow the rules. There is also Zhou La from the Zhou family, fortunately Fang Jifan rescued him.
These kinds of things, combined together, the Empress Dowager was actually moved.
Since it was a match made by heaven, the two had known each other for a long time. Although they were not childhood sweethearts, they could be called a good marriage. Besides, Fang Jifan's character and ability were beyond reproach. Zhu Xiurong, his own granddaughter, almost watched him grow up, treated her differently. At this time, he couldn't help but have thoughts and pursed his lips. She said, "I'm afraid that the rumors outside will be opposed by the ministers. Your Fang family is a nobleman. The ministers are very cautious about the relatives of the outside world. Although the Fang family is not a high-ranking minister, they also have some concerns. Have you thought about this?"
Fang Jifan said in a silence: "Don't worry, Da Zhenren has long said that Princess is a marriage with the ministers, otherwise anyone else would marry him would suffer a disaster for his husband's family... Empress, look carefully at the third sentence of the yellow paper, which is what he said. For the happiness of the princess, do ministers still have to interfere with such good things? Children's love affairs, but they have to consider the affairs of the court. If so, wouldn't they marry and take concubines be formed to make a clique for personal gain? The ministers of the Cabinet Grand Secretary Xie Qian and the Right Minister of Rites are in-laws, as well as the British Duke and the King of Zhou, they have also got married and... and wait..."
Fang Jifan took out a thick book from his sleeve and sent it to the Empress Dowager: "I'm asking the Empress to see it, it's shocking. The ministers and relatives of high and powerful officials, as well as civil and military officials, are they married to each other. I want to ask, if the Fang family and the royal family get married, is it the foreign relatives interfering in politics; then these civil and military ministers, relatives and ministers get married, aren't they forming clans and making private plans and plotting evilly, and the royal family gets restrained everywhere. They regard marriage as an alliance, so why is there no one to care about it? Is there any reason for nature?"
The Empress Dowager took the book and flipped it over, and seemed a little angry.
Thinking about it this way, right, why are they just in charge of the royal family? Why don’t they manage themselves?
If relatives of the foreign countries are harmful, it is not a matter of a minister colluding with marriage contracts?
Fang Jifan secretly observed the face of the Empress Dowager and couldn't help but say, "When Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Wen, there were precedents of marriage between the ministers and the royal family, and it was common for this. Why did they not follow the rules of their ancestors now? It can be seen that the rules of their ancestors are just straw paper for some people. When they want to check and balance the royal family, they take them out, and when they don't want to, they abandon them to the ground."
The Empress Dowager was moved and couldn't help but nod.
Fang Jifan sighed: "No matter how you think outside, I don't care at all. If someone objected, I would take responsibility for it. But I knew that no matter what others thought, in our Ming Dynasty, it was the emperor who spoke in the Ming Dynasty, not just a few censors. And in this deep palace, the one who could make me do good deeds with one word is the empress. As long as the empress opens her mouth, no subject in the world regards the empress as a god. Except for the occasional few people who want to invite favors, they may say a few words, the rest of the people will only admire the empress as a torch and the hole is like a candle. Besides, don't these censors scold the Zhou family and the Zhang family every day?"
The words in front sound very comfortable.
After the words, the Empress Dowager immediately snorted coldly: "The censors nowadays are indeed becoming more and more distorted. When Emperor Yingzong was there, they were not so rampant."
Fang Jifan continued to tell the story: "I am the waiter of Dingyuan. I would rather resign as a marquis and serve as a commoner. I will only teach and educate people in the West Mountains, and will never get involved in the affairs of the court. I only ask the Empress to approve this marriage."
The Empress Dowager was very satisfied with Fang Jifan's attitude. She couldn't help but look at Fang Jifan deeply, then looked at Emperor Hongzhi: "Emperor, what do you think?"
Empress Zhang also looked at Emperor Hongzhi. He was his daughter's father. It was obvious that the emperor had to decide on this matter.
However, when the Empress Dowager asked what the emperor thought, he obviously had already moved.
The implication is that this child is the best way to be the great-grandson-in-law of the Ai family. The Ai family is very satisfied, so you can do it yourself.
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but feel embarrassed and frowned deeply: "But... the court cannot do without Fang Jifan..."
This is the truth. In Emperor Hongzhi's plan, it was obvious that Fang Jifan had become a minister of the humbleness, and in the future he would be one of the ministers to assist the prince. Fang Jifan's talent has been verified in many places. Whether he is a geek or other talents, at least, many things that the court cannot solve were easily solved by him.
At this time, let Fang Jifan be the son-in-law, go to the imperial court to worship ancestors every day, and also worship the heaven and earth. Or, you have to travel back and forth to Fengyang, Zhongdu every year. How did this... work?
The Empress Dowager glanced at him: "This is the emperor's business. Emperor, you should make a decision, don't be led by others all the time."
Emperor Hongzhi was wandering, looking very embarrassed. He looked at Fang Jifan deeply and couldn't help but speak, "I think this matter should be asked Xiurong first."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, she seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. Yes, the girl must have looked down on Fang Jifan. He volunteered: "I'll go and ask."
So he rushed into the ear chamber rashly, and saw Zhu Xiurong holding his back and facing him. Zhu Houzhao deliberately amplified his voice: "Girl, you heard what you said outside. Fang Jifan, the shameless man, actually salivates at you. Tell me, what you think, say loudly, don't be afraid."
Zhu Xiurong didn't say anything, and looked at Zhu Houzhao with her phoenix eyes.
Zhu Houzhao was amused: "It seems that she must have disagreed if she doesn't say anything."
As soon as Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Zhu Xiurong was a little anxious and whispered: "It's all up to the great-grandmother and the queen."
Zhu Houzhao felt that she had heard it wrong, and stared at Zhu Xiurong in surprise: "What did you say, I didn't hear it."
Zhu Xiurong mustered up the courage and said in a loud voice: "It depends entirely on my great-grandmother and mother."
Zhu Houzhao said: "Great-grandmother and mother did not agree."
Zhu Xiurong said: "Since he has his will in the dark, he must follow the will of heaven. Since the ancestors who have attained enlightenment have understood the destiny of heaven, I should obey..."
"Destiny, all destiny is a lie. The people from the flying team went to heaven and didn't see an immortal. No ghost had ever seen it. This doesn't count." Zhu Houzhao shouted loudly.
At this moment, Zhu Xiurong became angry and cried and said, "You bullied me again!"
After the words came, tears couldn't stop coming out, and I was pitiful.
Zhu Houzhao was stunned. He felt as if something was hit hard in his heart. He felt powerless. Zhu Houzhao said palely: "I understand, I understand everything. It turns out that it is not God's will, nor is it the order of parents. These are excuses."
