Chapter nine hundred and forty-ninth: the bottom line
Xiao Jing hurriedly returned to Fengtian Palace.
He stood quietly beside Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes fell on the ticket and said, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Jing thought for a while and said, "The Censorate and the Minister of War have started fighting. I heard that... many people beat one, and Ma Butang is defeated..."
Emperor Hongzhi looked up in surprise and looked at Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing continued: "It's because when the Censor of the Censorate checked the arsenal, he found that many weapons were gone, not only inconsistent with the account, but also had a huge difference. Even... His Majesty, the armour of the border town could not be supplied."
Xiao Jing tried his best to speak out in a gentle tone.
Emperor Hongzhi's face was pale as paper.
"What does it mean to have a huge difference? How much difference is, 10%? 20%?" Emperor Hongzhi wanted to kill people and be a wise ruler. No matter how diligent a person works, he could not resist the world. Hundreds and thousands of people grabbed his arm: "Is it still 30%?"
"Maybe..." Xiao Jing was silent for a long time: "Maybe 90%!"
Emperor Hongzhi suddenly stood up and picked up the inkstone on the desk. His eyes were red and he almost wanted to kill people. His whole body seemed to lose his mind in anger. The inkstone hit Xiao Jing's head hard.
Xiao Jing dared not hide. Seeing the inkstone carrying the wind, it almost hit his forehead...
Suddenly, the inkstone stopped in mid-air.
Emperor Hongzhi glared at Xiao Jing, holding the inkstone in his hand, wishing he could crush it. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Finally, he let out another long breath. On a sallow face, he sighed and threw the inkstone aside.
With a clang, the inkstone rolled down with the golden jade steps.
Emperor Hongzhi sat down again: "Can the border town supply military supplies?"
"I'm afraid..." Xiao Jing thought it was very dangerous.
He could understand Emperor Hongzhi's anger, which was more frustrating than anger.
How proud the other person's Nine Five Master is. Even if he kills a few eunuchs, no one will say anything.
But your Majesty...
Xiao Jing wanted to hit the inkstone hard on his head so that His Majesty could at least breathe a sigh of relief.
He said with a bitter face: "The border town... I'm afraid I can't handle it."
Emperor Hongzhi knocked on the desk impatiently: "Let's investigate thoroughly, and investigate thoroughly. Is it the Minister of War, the head of the treasury, or others... The East Factory came to investigate. No one could have a fish that missed the net. The same is true for the other arsenal. What about the granary? What about the inner treasury? Hey, I treat people well and all civil and military officials all give rain and dew. Even if the thunder is brought down, I will try my best to restrain them, for fear that the subjects will be disappointed, but what are you doing? "
He held his face, as if he wanted to say something harsh, but he stuttered for a moment, and those words that killed the whole family seemed to be a little unspeakable. Finally, he said with a cold face: "Hmph, just make a fuss. After I die for a hundred years, my sons will deal with you one by one!"
"No!" Suddenly, Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be unable to swallow his breath: "For this case, let the prince investigate thoroughly. The prince is the leader, and Fang Jifan is the second to investigate the situation!"
Xiao Jing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Is this meaning? But my son and son-in-law come to let you bastards all go to the crematorium?
…………
Zhu Houzhao happily played the side stove. Recently, Mr. Wen was good at craftsmanship, and the sauce made the sauce even more delicious. Fang Jifan was right opposite him, holding a piece of meat and shouted: "Your Highness, look at this meat, the texture is clear, the meat is fat but not greasy. This cow must have been a hardworking cow during his lifetime. It worked diligently, was simple for the cow, and had certain qualities. If I guessed it well, this cow must have been brought in Xishannan Village."
Zhu Houzhao said in surprise: "You know this too."
Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Looking at the meat, you can know the cow, and knowing the nature of the cow. In Nanzhuang, near the Xuefu, this cow works at sunrise, and listens to the sound of reading aloud. It must be gentle and elegant. Only the cows around the Xuefu can have this sentiment."
Zhu Houzhao leaned over and said, "Let me see, let me see."
Fang Jifan was busy retracting his chopsticks. The soup had passed, and the beef that had nine-point cooked, and after dipping the sauce, it exuded a strange fragrance. How could Fang Jifan have been fooled by Zhu Houzhao? God knows whether this shameless person would take away his beef in one bite.
Ache...
Zhu Houzhao suddenly sneezes out.
Suddenly, Fang Jifan's face changed.
"My beef, my elegant cow, my sentimental cow, and my eagerness to learn." Fang Jifan lamented.
Zhu Houzhao rubbed her nose: "Which dog-like thing is thinking about this palace!"
Fang Jifan suddenly felt bored and hurriedly threw the chopsticks and beef, sighed and felt very melancholy.
But at this moment, someone came hurried outside: "Your Highness, Guard Fang, someone from the palace is here."
Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan were shocked and looked at each other.
Soon, some eunuchs came with imperial edicts.
He is about to recite.
Zhu Houzhao didn't care about so much and went straight forward: "Let me take a look."
He snatched the imperial edict and opened it. When he saw it, Zhu Houzhao was angry: "Lao Fang, look, is this what people do?"
Fang Jifan leaned over and saw the words "deficiency of the arsenal"... he looked at it again and... he was a little confused.
No, in the seventh year of Zhengde, he checked the arsenal once. After all, Zhu Houzhao in history was interested in fighting, so he asked someone to check the arsenal so that he could know how many weapons there were in the Ming Dynasty, but in the end, he found that almost all the accounts were not in line with each other. For this reason, Emperor Zhengde was furious and issued an order to investigate it strictly. This investigation took a full year...
But now...
It’s not right. Now Emperor Hongzhi has not passed away, and history has changed. At this time, Zhu Houzhao is still the crown prince, so naturally he is not Emperor Zhengde.
"Beast!" What Zhu Houzhao hates the most is the people who steal the military equipment. How many soldiers in front of him are fighting desperately in the border town, and their ideas are really worse than pigs and dogs!
Fang Jifan seemed very calm.
Actually... this is really the daily routine of the Ming Dynasty...is it very strange? It's just that this thing cannot stand the investigation. If you don't check, it will be peaceful everywhere. Once you check, you will be done.
However, Fang Jifan saw that, he ordered the Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao to investigate the words of the case within a specified period.
Fang Jifan couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, have you seen something when you look here?"
Zhu Houzhao shook her head as if she was rattled: "I can't tell if there are any eyebrows and eyes. I am very angry now."
Fang Jifan sighed: "Your Majesty has the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, the East Factory, the Jinyiwei, and even the Censorate. There are some staff, but why should you ask His Highness and the minister to investigate?"
Zhu Houzhao gritted her teeth and said, "No matter what, I must kill these thieves and the whole family."
"His highness, calm down." Fang Jifan sighed. The lines should not be like this. This is too unpretentious. Di Renjie should have taken a breath in the film and television. Oh, it's so terrifying. I didn't expect that there was actually something behind this...
But Zhu Houzhao is a rough man, and he is very unspeculative in this regard.
Fang Jifan said: "Your Highness, this shows that Your Majesty is disappointed with all the Dali Temple, the factory guards, and the Censorate. Your Majesty is not disappointed with their abilities. If it is just their abilities, why should you let the palace investigate? Even if Your Majesty does not believe in the factory guards' abilities, do you still believe that Your Majesty, who only knows how to knit sweaters, fight, build cars and treat diseases? Well, don't be angry, I'm just a more straightforward person. To be honest, I mean, your Majesty takes His Majesty because His Majesty's son..."
"What the hell do you want to say?" Zhu Houzhao was furious.
Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao deeply: "What I want to say is that Your Majesty has a premonition that this case...is a large number of people involved, and he will never dare to entrust him if he does not trust him completely. Your Majesty also knows that to investigate this case, one must have great wisdom and courage. Therefore, he also knows that Your Majesty has more courage and insufficient IQ, so he ordered his minister to assist him."
"..." Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, and he narrowed his eyes: "The father also finds it difficult?"
Just kidding, of course it's tricky.
In history, when Zhu Houzhao became Emperor Zhengde, this case was investigated for more than a year, and all his efforts were wasted several times. If Emperor Zhengde had not repeatedly urged him, he would have been afraid that he would not have been able to find it out for a year.
Zhu Houzhao was happy: "It seems that my father still knows that my palace is very wise and brave. Since that's the case, then... I come to investigate and leave. Let's go to the Ministry of War and first catch Ma Wensheng's bastard. He is the Minister of War and cannot escape the relationship. As long as he is punished, he is not afraid that he will not speak."
“…”
Fang Jifan was ashamed: "Ma Wensheng is the Minister of War, how can he be punished?"
"Is the minister okay? Where is the chief of the treasurer of the Ministry of War?"
“…”
Mental retardation!
Fang Jifan couldn't help thinking.
Zhu Houzhao was anxious: "Father, it's within half a year's deadline, and the truth is revealed. Why are you so procrastinating?"
Fang Jifan said with a smile: "It takes less than three years, within three days, the truth will be revealed. The first thing we need to do is to find the batch of weapons, wherever we go, and the ones that can involve this matter are definitely not simple people. Your Highness, do you think? Without ironclad evidence, if Your Highness rashly tortures and spreads it, it will have a bad reputation."
Although Zhu Houzhao has no reputation.
But Fang Jifan has it, and Fang Jifan is still a shameful person.
Zhu Houzhao frowned: "So...where have these weapons gone?"
Fang Jifan thought to himself, I know that it is actually far away in the sky and near in front of him. If the case of Zhengde Dynasty was not deviated, then...
