In the Forbidden City, as always.

Early in the morning, Emperor Hongzhi arrived at the Warm Pavilion. Then, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet headed by Liu Jian met with him and began to discuss government affairs for one day.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was obviously not good.

Liu Jian and others knew the result of the entire fraud case.

Although I felt that Cheng Minzheng and Xu Jing were a little wronged in this case, and it was clearly verified, His Majesty still did not rehabilitate him. Although it was for Cheng Minzheng and Xu Jing to escape, they were also wronged.

The purpose is nothing more than the face of the palace and the court, but the majesty of the palace and the court cannot be violated.

Even Liu Jian, although he was sympathetic, he knew that he could not persuade him, so he made His Majesty change his mind and rehabilitate the two.

Therefore, everyone has a tacit understanding and will never mention the fraud case today.

Emperor Hongzhi was frowning and naturally did not want to mention this matter. This has become a thorn in his heart. This case can only be confused like this, without any result, nor can there be any right or wrong. But... deep down in his heart, Emperor Hongzhi was still a little uneasy.

But what can I do? Will the emperor make mistakes if he can make mistakes if he knows that the emperor is not a wise man, then will the emperor's other decrees be criticized and questioned? The son of God will not be wrong if he is ordered by heaven.

But no matter how he comforted himself, Emperor Hongzhi still seemed a little restless, listening to Liu Jian's opinion on the suppression of Milu rebels in Guizhou.

But at this moment, a eunuch came in carefully and bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Fang Jifan is asking for a meeting."

"Fang Jifan?" Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly. He was a small general flag. What did he do at this time? Shouldn't he be on duty at the Zhanshi Mansion today?

"What's the matter?" Emperor Hongzhi was in a bad mood today, but asked lightly.

The eunuch looked a little nervous, hesitated for a moment before saying, "He was outside the Meridian Gate and said he wanted to speak for justice..."

"Puff..." Xie Qian sat steadily beside him. Emperor Hongzhi was always generous to several Grand Secretarys. Not only did he give him a seat, but he had already served them tea. Xie Qian was picking up a tea cup and sipping a sip of tea in this gap. Unexpectedly, the tea was just in his mouth, and when he heard the words "Faithfulness" and a sip of tea was sprayed out.

You are the chief official of the Yulin Guard, but you are not a Qingliu. What does it have to do with you for being righteous?

You, Fang Jifan, are the target of being spoken by justice. If you speak up for justice, will this... not be a joke?

At this time, Liu Jian's reaction was just pursed his lips and said nothing.

The last time, Fang Jifan's three disciples shone brightly in the imperial examination, which made him proud, so the other party's views changed a little.

Li Dongyang smiled, but no one could guess what he was thinking at this moment.

"Speak for justice?" Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but laugh and cry: "What do he want to speak for justice?"

The eunuch looked carefully at Emperor Hongzhi: "Fang Jifan said that it was a case of fraud for the imperial examination."

“…”

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the warm chalet suddenly became cold.

This matter is now considered the emperor's rebellion, and Liu Jian and the other two knew it well.

But Fang Jifan is really itchy in his skin. How dare he touch such reverse scales?

Even Liu Jian and the other two dare not reveal this scar now.

Sure enough, Emperor Hongzhi was full of anger and said sternly: "Can the affairs of the court be criticized by him, the chief official? It's such a big deal. I'm so indulging him too much on weekdays, so he showed off everywhere because of his little cleverness. If it weren't for his brain disease, I would have to punish him severely and go back and tell him that he would not cause trouble, and I would not see him."

So the eunuch hurriedly bowed and walked away quickly.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was still shady and he seemed to be angry.

To be honest, Fang Jifan was also lucky to have brain disease and was a younger generation. He was too young. If someone dared to come here to touch the tiger's butt, Emperor Hongzhi would have been punished long ago.

Now that Cheng Minzheng and Xu Jing were released from the imperial prison, it was already generous. We must never continue to mess around with this matter.

However, when Fang Jifan wanted to speak out for Cheng Minzheng and Xu Jing, Liu Jian and the other two were slightly shocked. Fang Jifan... Why did he do this? This guy just doesn't make a fuss, but he actually... has such a courage?

Even Xie Qian was still laughing just now, and now he became serious. In any case, in his heart, Fang Jifan's behavior today needs to be taken seriously and deserves respect.

After such a thing, Emperor Hongzhi became even more restless, but he thought that this matter had passed. Who knew that the eunuch would return and kneel down in panic and said, "Your Majesty, Fang Jifan refused to leave."

"Then you don't have to pay attention to him, hum!" Emperor Hongzhi had a stern face.

However, the eunuch hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and said, "I think so, but... he knelt outside the Meridian Gate and said nothing. There were many ministers entering and leaving the palace and guards along the way. Many people were watching. Ou whispered. I thought... if I continued to make him mess around at Meridian Gate, I was afraid that it would be hindered..."

call……

At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi was completely angered and said angrily: "Rebel against other Fang Jifan!"

After saying that, he stood up angrily, paced back and forth, looking angry.

Fang Jifan's words and deeds obviously hurt Emperor Hongzhi's self-esteem and aroused a sense of guilt deep in Emperor Hongzhi's heart, but this is extremely dangerous, because there is a saying that is called anger and shame, and the emperor makes a decision. If he loses his mind because of this, he will be sentenced to death with a command.

At this time, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian looked at each other, and even Fang Jifan dared to speak for justice. If the three of them didn't say anything, they would be shameless to gain a foothold in the temple.

Liu Jian said seriously: "Your Majesty, why not call him here and listen to what he says."

"Yes." Xie Qian said: "Your Majesty is the Supreme Master of Nine Five, why bother with a child?"

Li Dongyang thought something. He vaguely felt that Fang Jifan was an extremely smart person. He was ridiculous on the surface, but inside, he would never do such a dementia!

But why did he do this?

"Hmph!" Emperor Hongzhi still said angrily: "Okay, I want to hear, what kind of high arguments he has, the propaganda!"

So the eunuch hurriedly ran out again, and the silence of death returned to the warm pavilion.

The king and his subjects had their own thoughts, and Liu Jian was slightly worried. He had no prejudice against Fang Jifan, and what Fang Jifan did today was impressive, but...

Liu Jian knew that there were too many things to worry about in the case of fraud. Your Majesty had difficulties with His Majesty. If Fang Jifan kept talking, wouldn’t he be seeking death?

After a while, Fang Jifan entered the warm-up pavilion.

Before coming, he was actually prepared, for example... he put a layer of steel plate in his underwear, which was inspired by the prince.

At this time, Fang Jifan stepped forward and said, "I have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

Emperor Hongzhi held his face, a trace of sharpness passed through his eyes, and swept over Fang Jifan with a blunt manner, and said in a cold voice: "You are not on duty in the Zhan Shi Mansion, why are you here?"

From his voice, Fang Jifan could hear that His Majesty's remnant anger was not gone.

Fang Jifan said seriously: "I am here because there is something to report."

Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "What's the matter? Don't hide it."

Fang Jifan took a deep breath and said, "I heard that in the case of fraud in the imperial examination, Cheng Minzheng, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Xu Jing, the tribute student, have not found any evidence."

If you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that Emperor Hongzhi's hands trembled slightly!

I am really afraid of anything. I am not bad to you, Fang Jifan, and I am very generous to your Fang family. How many things you did in the past were impeached? Isn’t it all I protect you? Now, you are so wings hard, but now you are coming to be a Qingliu to accuse and question me?

Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "Fang Jifan, do you count the impeachment memorials about you in the Qing Palace? Do I keep it and will not be posted?"

“…”

Well, this is not playing according to the routine.

It is of great importance. In fact, Fang Jifan had simulated it in advance before coming, just like in the play. Fang Jifan's general routine was to mention the fraud case himself, and then the emperor asked, "What are you doing?" Then Fang Jifan began to eloquently and expound his own views.

But... what I thought was a different scene in reality.

I heard Emperor Hongzhi say word by word: "Do I want to count it out one by one for you?"

Emperor Hongzhi said the wind was calm, but every word was touched by Fang Jifan's seven inches.

This...is a bit embarrassing.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a smile, and his expression on his face was probably like "Come on, hurt each other."

Fang Jifan, who was already full of energy, suddenly weakened a little, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, what I want to report is the current matter. Can you please let Your Majesty finish your statement and settle the accounts later?"

Calculate the accounts after autumn!

Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly, this guy even said the four words "Fu Hou" to settle accounts. Doesn't this mean that I am a petty man and settle accounts with him?

Fang Jifan seized this gap and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, since you have no clue in this case and no real evidence, why not treat Lord Cheng Minzheng and Xu Jingping? These two are pillars of the country, but Your Majesty has given up their official position and removed their academic status. It is really not necessary. In the hearts of the minister, Your Majesty is a saint, how could he do such a thing?"

In fact, Fang Jifan didn't know how to persuade him, but he was really unfamiliar with using words and sentences.

So when Liu Jian and the other two sighed when they heard Fang Jifan's words, they said, "This guy is not admonishing me, he is fighting with His Majesty."
