These words were very similar to Fang Jifan.

The so-called "those who are close to the red" are red and those who are close to the ink are black. Fang Jifan's guy has a sweet mouth, but he didn't expect that the prince also learned a little.

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help laughing.

"You must be thinking in your heart that I just want the title of Tian Khan? No, what is Tian Khan? But that's all. But what I want to compare is Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Since the pre-Qin period, my king who has expanded territory in the Central Plains has never been better than Emperor Wu of Han. In the past, I didn't like fighting and killing, so why did the people suffer? But now, after voyage to the West, I have opened my eyes and understood the state of mind of Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Taizong of Tang. There are so many great troubles in this world, and how can I let others sleep soundly under my bed? If I don't care, decades or a hundred years later, when they are already rich, it will be even more difficult to expel the barbarians."

"The tribes of the Desert and Liaodong are no longer troublesome now. The future troubles of the Ming Dynasty are in the Great Food, in the Franji, and in the name of the Tiankang Khan, and in the Alliance tribes. We will first settle the inner side so that our northern borders of the Ming Dynasty can be worry-free before we can deal with these serious troubles."

Emperor Hongzhi paused and looked at Zhu Houzhao deeply.

My son has grown up and may be able to understand his mood.

What did you do yourself is not to clear obstacles for your children and grandchildren.

I am still alive, so let me chew this most difficult bone. My children and grandchildren will enjoy the blessings of our ancestors.

Emperor Hongzhi continued: "The tribes in the desert are now in decline. In my opinion, they are forced to surrender. Who is willing to surrender? If the court neglects this, it will inevitably make them feel that the court has treated them slowly. What's more, if someone secretly instigates the grassland and ice fields, the tribes in the grassland and ice fields think that our Ming Dynasty not only despises them, but may even have a heart to eliminate them. Will they be killed in fear?"

"Since the demise of the Song Dynasty, the fight between the people of the Central Plains and the Mongols has been too long. They are mostly guarding each other. The deep blood hatred is still in front of them. If they want to make them devotedly, the Ming Dynasty should also express their opinions. This is also the reason why I went to Datong in person and met with the leaders of the tribes. I want them to know that as long as they are willing to submit sincerely, I still have the mind to accommodate all rivers. I can be their mortal enemy, and as usual, they can be their king and father. I also regard the people of the tribes of the grassland as my people. Since then, there will be no disputes in the desert."

Emperor Hongzhi continued: "The Spring and Autumn Period said: China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; it has the beauty of the squad, which is called Hua; this is the origin of China. Now that I am here in China and continue the great reign of our ancestors, if the barbarians knew about etiquette and wore the squad, then it would be a blessing for the whole world to be united."

"In recent years, I have beaten the desert, I have beaten them all. Next, I should calm people's hearts and rest. I will set rules to make the tribes feel my sincerity, and from then on I am convinced and devoted. This desert has consumed too much national strength from the Ming Dynasty. Now I want to control the world and have to settle the desert."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he thought: "But if the father goes, will there be someone among the leaders of the tribes behaving indiscriminately?"

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "I am the emperor, how dare the barbarians invade him?"

Zhu Houzhao: "..."

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "Look, you think I am arrogant again. How could I not know that you brought the Tatar merchant to see me? It's just that people with ill-belief are only a few. If I dare not go because of these few, wouldn't I... I'll just cry out the hearts of those who are willing to surrender? I heard that the people in the desert respect the most is heroes. If I cherish my life so much, I will be looked down upon. If someone really wants to do something wrong, someone will take it down."

"Further..." Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao deeply, with a different emotion in his eyes, and said earnestly: "Besides, I have you, Zaimo, I have someone to follow, why are you afraid of?"

Zhu Houzhao sat alone on the sofa, tilted her head and began to daze.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and leaned against the sofa, and fell silent.

A few days later, the imperial carriage arrived in Datong.

Fang Jifan led Datong civil and military officials to welcome the emperor.

The vast guards, one post at three steps and one whistle at five steps, countless life officials, wearing official robes of birds and beasts, bowed down one after another.

Emperor Hongzhi got out of the car and went to Fang Jifan first. The other party said, "Thank you for your hard work in Fang Qing's family."

Fang Jifan said: "For the people... no, I will serve Your Majesty, and I will die after death."

This is how Fang Jifan is. Sometimes he speaks in a mess.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and held his hands behind his back: "The leaders of various tribes are still outside Datong City, aren't they?"

Fang Jifan said: "Yes, it was the old ritual of the Tang Dynasty. There were high-altars outside the pass. The leaders of each tribe, totaling 74 people, had already been waiting for the order. The auspicious day selected by the Ministry of Rites was three days later. At that time, the ministers and the prince took the imperial guards out of the city. The leaders of each tribe had all removed the swords and their entourages, and only twelve people were selected to watch the ceremony."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "I will follow your arrangements."

As he said that, he looked up at the majestic wall of Datong, and couldn't help but sigh: "Datong is one of the nine sides, and it is also the gateway to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. This city tower and high wall have been repaired many times since Emperor Taizu Gao. It is time for this wall to be removed."

After Emperor Hongzhi said that, he entered the city.

Fang Jifan was busy and exhausted.

Being alone is bragging.

At such a big ceremony, I had to make up my own ideas for everything, coordinate the border troops in Datong, resettle the guards who came, and the damn eunuchs and the Ministry of Rites, and I pointed at them every now and then. Fang Jifan was exhausted.

After finally taking a break from his busy schedule, he returned to his residence in Datong and saw Wang Shouren desperately gnawing on the chicken legs.

His belly is still a little smaller, so he needs to eat more.

As for height, you can make a special shoe with a thousand-layer sole so that people can look taller.

As for the face, I have to disguise myself and put on makeup.

Not only that, he also needs to learn from His Majesty's demeanor.

Although those barbarians have never seen the emperor, they naturally don’t have to worry.

But I can't resist anyone else's recognition.

When Fang Jifan saw him eating, he couldn't help but want to bare his teeth. How could he have the same virtue as Liu Jin?

Of course, the words in my heart must be hidden. Fang Jifan always smiled: "Do you have weight? How about it?"

"It's been four pounds."

"It's a lot." Fang Jifan was very pleased: "It's been two days, and the voice you speak needs to be lowered. Also, keep your dead fish face... No, keep your serious demeanor, put your hope on you. If there is a danger, you must be careful, don't worry, your teacher will be a hundred feet away to protect you."

Wang Shouren said: "Just take care of yourself."

Fang Jifan couldn't help but say, "What do you mean? I look down on you as a teacher?"

"I dare not." Wang Shouren hurriedly took off his sunglasses.

Fang Jifan was satisfied and said, "Learn hard to learn Your Majesty's demeanor, and... When you investigate, Your Majesty will definitely look for you. What should you say?"

Wang Shouren said: "It's all the disciple's idea. The disciple deserves to die, and the crime of death."

Fang Jifan shook his head and lowered his voice: "You only have one life, how can you take the blame on yourself? This is the prince's idea. Your Majesty can't kill the prince anyway. You bite to death. It was His Highness who asked you to do it."

"This..." This is obviously a bit incompatible with Wang Shouren's moral standards.

Fang Jifan said earnestly: "Are you no one who is a man, you can't be as straightforward as a teacher. Occasionally, you have to learn to adapt. Besides, this is indeed the idea of ​​His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This matter is just in case. If no one is assassinated, then Your Majesty will definitely pursue it. But what if someone is assassinated? At that time, it will be a great achievement. You want to say that you are not the mastermind, and you must push this credit to you. The son of the master... is not very reliable. Thinking that when you get old in the future, it is better for the disciples to do it well."

Patting his shoulder, someone came hurried outside: "Duke of Qi, Duke of Qi... Please ask you to the Ministry of Rites..."

Fang Jifan was furious and cursed: "The group of dogs in the Ministry of Rites know how to find fault every day, but they are just talking nonsense, right? Tell them, I will stop me and use less ancient books to scare people. Is Fang Jifan so scared?"

…………

On the third day.

early morning.

Emperor Hongzhi got up early.

He seemed a little excited. He walked outside, and the morning light was shining. Emperor Hongzhi fell under Xiao Jing's service and put on a crown garment. Xiao Jingze was behind him and combed his hair.

"It's getting late, hurry up, don't let the officials wait for a long time."

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were full of expectations, looking at himself in the bronze mirror, and his hair was already born, but today, his spirit was very full.

Xiao Jing said with a smile: "Your Majesty... I am so in good spirits today. I can't even recognize you."

A little eunuch came outside in a scattered step: "Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Duke of Qi have arrived."

"Call in."

The little eunuch went, but returned: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Qi had to say that he had something to do, but the prince refused to let him go, saying that he would meet together, and the two of them were pulling each other out."

Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "What's wrong with this? Tell them to come in together."

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan came in obediently.

Fang Jifan was pulled in and his clothes were not in order. When he saw Emperor Hongzhi, he hurriedly stroked his clothes and straightened his head. He then saluted Zhu Houzhao: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi did not look at them, but still looked at the bronze mirror and said slowly: "What's your name?"

Zhu Houzhao said happily: "The father has no, the son has nothing."

Fang Jifan had a bitter face: "There is still important things for me. The guards have not arranged it yet. My son... said goodbye."
