Fang Jifan was serious.

Because there is a process from research and development to finalization, to assembly and practice of weapons.

Therefore, it would be better for His Royal Highness to do this.

But... I'm going to Changping myself?

Fang Jifan shook his head and said meaningfully: "Your Highness, in terms of military tactics, there is a saying that is called the force of striking the corners. We two are like brothers and sisters. If both of them go to Changping, it will be difficult to echo each other. If Mao Ji's heart is to be punished, it will not be possible to rely on Changping."

Zhu Houzhao scratched her head: "You are not trying to be lazy, are you?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness the Crown Prince will do what I said and ensure... success."

Zhu Houzhao trusted Fang Jifan, but after saying this, he laughed: "I'll go to see my father tomorrow."

The prince was going to Changping, but this time, Emperor Hongzhi agreed very simply.

Soon, Emperor Hongzhi summoned Fang Jifan to the palace to meet him.

However, this time it was not in Fengtian Palace, but in the Dacheng Building of the third phase of the Daming Palace.

As the deputy hall, this Dacheng Building is particularly eye-catching. Emperor Hongzhi climbed the tower and could look into the distance.

Xiao Jing is now standing beside Emperor Hongzhi.

He was hunched over and looked happy.

When I saw Fang Jifan, I wished I could take out the electric speaker and announce that I, Xiao Jing, are back!

Emperor Hongzhi turned around and said with a smile: "You are here."

"Your Majesty." Fang Jifan nodded to Emperor Hongzhi, just about to say something.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "It is your idea for the prince to go to Changping?"

Fang Jifan nodded: "Yes."

He is an honest man, never lie, his own idea is his own idea, open and honest, and he is a role model.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Then, is your banner to train the new army?"

Fang Jifan nodded again: "Your Majesty is very clear about it, and it is precisely to test new firearms. The Xingfu Group is mainly cavalry, and their firearms are different from our firearms! The Xingfu Group is only external force after all, but the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's establishment lies in self-improvement. My Ming Dynasty is mainly infantry. Therefore, I hope that His Royal Highness can train a real firearm for my Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Look, your purpose is not just for this."

Fang Jifan looked up at the sky, and he was innocent and blue.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Is it because of Mao Ji?"

Fang Jifan coughed: "Have the prince told His Majesty?"

Emperor Hongzhi held his hands behind his back: "Do you really think I am a deaf person or a blind person?"

Fang Jifan immediately said: "Son minister..."

"You don't have to say anything." Emperor Hongzhi said, "I know, you are hard to speak. But it doesn't matter. I know Mao Ji, a man with a bad temper and a polite mouth. But he is quite capable. He is a clerk and a famous official. It's a pity that he doesn't agree with the new policy, so he resigns from his post, but teaches scholars in Dayangshan, Changping. In fact... this is nothing wrong. Can I not tolerate a great scholar? Since I can tolerate new learning, then, it's the same, tolerate Mao Ji's knowledge."

"Of course I know that Mao Ji said a lot of things that are not good to me and to the prince. The prince must hate Mao Ji very much, I... wouldn't he like such people? But..." Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a smile: "But I will not punish Mao Ji. This is because Mao Ji's so-called knowledge is popular not because of what Mao Ji said, but... because of the hearts of the people in the world, some people hope to use Mao Ji's mouth to criticize the court. Therefore, they encouraged him everywhere, worshiped him and lifted him up high, hoping to move his to the Confucius Temple. If I blame him, there would be a second and third Mao Ji. I will be punished one by one?"

Fang Jifan admired Emperor Hongzhi very much. He may not be a person who surpassed the times, but he was definitely a mature emperor.

"There are endless killings in human hearts." Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "But... I'm thinking, if you encourage the prince to go to Changping like this, you must have a way to deal with Mao Ji and those people behind Mao Ji, right?"

Fang Jifan smiled embarrassedly: "Where, where, I am very ashamed."

Emperor Hongzhi felt cold and shook his body.

Seeing this, Xiao Jing hurriedly took the scarlet velvet and put it on Emperor Hongzhi, saying, "Your Majesty, it's better to be cold here..."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and looked at Fang Jifan deeply. The fish patterns on the corners of his eyes became deeper and deeper. He laughed and said, "I am old, I am really old. It has been nearly thirty years since I took over the reign of my ancestors. In the past thirty years, it has been quite peaceful. I don't care how the outsiders view me, whether it is praise or slander, so I just let future generations comment."

"But..." Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were slightly red. I wonder if it was because of the strong wind, but the corners of his eyes were a little wet. He sighed: "I know that the path I am walking is right now, and I will continue firmly. In the future, the prince will inherit my mantle and go on. I can ignore rumors, but what about the prince? One day in the future, I will return to heaven and go to see my ancestors, but the prince will also inherit the throne and govern the world. It is precisely because of this that I am worried that the rumors of Mao Ji and others will hurt the prince. He... must be wise. If this world does not praise the prince, what will he use to convince the world in the future?"

Emperor Hongzhi stroked his long beard that was blown by the cold wind, and then his eyes fell on Fang Jifan: "So, I heard that you encouraged the prince to go to Changping, and I immediately agreed. I, I have no choice but to use someone like Mao Ji in this life, but I know that you may have a solution. So, I see you."

Fang Jifan said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, you can't say this. Why is Mao Ji so cunning and loyal, a man like a son, his opponent? Your Majesty respects him so much."

Emperor Hongzhi laughed: "Haha, what I have taken is your lying and showing your true feelings."

Fang Jifan: "..."

Fang Jifan was furious.

Someone must have said bad things about them.

Otherwise, how could His Majesty look at himself like this?

Fang Jifan subconsciously glared at Xiao Jing.

When Xiao Jingben heard His Majesty say this, he burst into laughter. When he saw Fang Jifan's malicious eyes look over, he became a little anxious and hurriedly shook his head silently at Fang Jifan, meaning that it has nothing to do with us, what's wrong with our family?

Emperor Hongzhi patted Fang Jifan on the shoulder: "Crown Prince, you must be famous. You and the prince are like brothers. I know that you will try your best to solve this problem for the prince. I will wait and see."

Fang Jifan bit his teeth and said, "Yes."

Emperor Hongzhi then stretched out: "Let's go, it's windy and cold here. Please help me, go downstairs, and accompany me. Oh, there is another thing. Xie Qing's family came to complain."

Fang Jifan supported Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, I wonder what he told me?"

"It was said that Xiaofan was in the cabinet and insisted on improving all the reports and creating a form... what kind of table is it? Liu Qing's family said that the cabinet has always been the rules. She even talked back, but at the end, she even said that the prince taught him what he said yesterday."

"Oh." Fang Jifan said with a shame: "It's really unreasonable for the sister-in-law. After returning, my son will definitely criticize him well. However, Your Majesty must not blame His Highness, His Highness, His Highness..."

"The day before yesterday, I went to Changping." Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a smile.

Fang Jifan: "..."

Damn...

This prodigal girl.

Is it okay to have some brains?

If people are not here, what are you doing if you cut x basins on someone?

Fang Jifan's smile was stiff: "The prince really hates it. Since there is a letter, he doesn't make it to his son minister, but to his sister. It seems that His Highness still cares about his sister very much, and it is really hard for him."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said nothing again. Fang Jifan shook his head, whether you believe it or not, I believe it myself.

He accompanied Emperor Hongzhi to circle around the third phase of the Daming Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi was obviously very satisfied with this project.

This is all invested in large sums of money. With the continuous expansion of the new city, the skills of civil engineering have become higher and higher. In addition, the materials used are becoming more and more "bold", here... it is obviously more majestic than the previous two periods.

In the evening, Fang Jifan bid farewell to leave the palace.

He deliberately waited outside the Meridian Gate, and indeed he saw Fang Xiaofan coming from the direction of the cabinet happily.

When he saw Fang Jifan, the little girl ran towards Fang Jifan and rushed into Fang Jifan's arms, and suddenly rushed into Fang Jifan's arms: "Brother, do you know, I decided to be in the cabinet..."

"I know." Fang Jifan smiled bitterly: "Form? What kind of form is it?"

"You don't understand even if you say it." Fang Xiaofan said.

Fang Jifan gritted his teeth, I don’t understand, I was a human being for two lifetimes.

"Mr. Xie is going to file a lawsuit, do you know?" Fang Jifan took a deep breath.

"I know, I told him that this was what His Highness the Crown Prince taught me."

Fang Jifan said: "But the prince, I went to Changping a few days ago."

Fang Xiaofan raised his head and looked at the sky. The snow fluffy in the sky was flying. The deer-skin boots under her feet were stomping, exhaling white breath from her mouth, her pretty face was flushed, and she covered her mouth with her hands, and said, "Then I will explain tomorrow, and I will say that the Prince's dream has come."

Fang Jifan blinked: "Girl, we don't believe in ghosts and gods in our new study. We believe in science and dream-entering, we must never mention it again. I will teach you for my brother, if something happens again and the Crown Prince is not here, you will insist that it was the Emperor's grandson who taught you."

"Oh, this won't work. He is my friend."

Fang Jifan gritted his teeth: "He is your nephew, his own nephew. What's the point of being embarrassed about? The family, don't speak two families, do you know?"

"oh."

Fang Jifan was just happy and held Fang Xiaofan's hand: "Are you hungry?"

"Hungry."
