Chapter 136: Temptation
Jade Bi...
Fang Jifan thought it was strange. Jade Bi was a valuable thing, so I could give it to you as soon as I say it?
Fang Jifan was really curious about who this is sacred!
Fang Jifan said, "Where is the jade bi?"
Xu Jing showed a little mystery on his face, and looked around again, then said, "The student has hidden it privately and will be taken to his mentor at night so that he will not be seen."
Seeing Xu Jing like this, Fang Jifan said angry and amused: "What are you doing sneakily?"
Xu Jing said seriously: "It's just because the person who came is not someone else. This person claims to be his Cao Jian from the Ning Palace. Mentor, think about it, this King Ning is a dignified prince. He is a vassal king, far away in Jiangxi, and he is fine. Why did he come to make friends with the Fang family? The students think it is strange and always think that if the Fang family and the Ning Palace are too deep, they will inevitably be criticized. After all, the master can work in the Five Army Governor's Mansion... So when the student saw that the situation was wrong, he didn't want to accept his gift, but he had to leave his gift. Therefore, the student made a quick decision and took the things first and then told the doorman that this matter must not be spread. None of the other people in the mansion dared to speak out. Even Manager Yang did not say anything, just waited for the mentor to come back..."
Fang Jifan's expression suddenly became serious. Just by hearing this, I knew something was wrong.
Speaking of this Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, he is very famous in history!
Why?
After Prince Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, he rebelled!
This man is ambitious and has always been coveting the Nine Tripods. In history, since he ascended the throne, he has been preparing for rebellion.
However, before, Fang Jifan always believed that he was too far away from this rebellious vassal king, and that was more than ten years later, so naturally he didn't care about this person now.
But who would have thought that this guy had already started to move now, and... he actually came to the Fang family.
But after thinking about it carefully, it is actually understandable. On the one hand, my father is already in the army, and on the other hand, I am recently rising and getting closer to the prince!
Zhu Chenhao didn't want to bribe his father and son to serve his great cause in the imperial map.
The vassal king secretly contacted the ministers in the capital, and even gave him a pair of jade bis as soon as he made a move. It was so generous that it really could easily cause unnecessary speculation!
Fang Jifan couldn't help but look at Xu Jing with appreciation. Although Xu Jing was not as knowledgeable as Tang Yin, his mind was very lively. It was good, good, and very promising. His handling was already very appropriate.
Fang Jifan thought for a while and said, "Take the notes and take a look at them."
Xu Jing took out a note from his sleeve, Fang Jifan took it and opened it, and what he looked up was the words "Brother Fang Junjian".
This brother Fang naturally refers to his father Fang Jinglong.
What surprised Fang Jifan was that the person who called his father his brother was not Cao Jian, and the signature on the lower part was actually his brother Zhu Chenhao Jing.
His Highness Ning, who was called a "Corporate Etiquette" in the opposite direction, actually called himself a younger brother to an earl.
The content inside is actually not new, it is nothing more than admiration.
Fang Jifan was amused and laughed. His Highness Ning was really a god. Could this trick be regarded as Liu Bei, who visited the cottage three times and attracted talents from all over the world?
This person...uh, mentally retarded...
This is the first evaluation Fang Jifan gave to King Ning.
But if I think about it carefully, if this guy was not mentally retarded, how could he have rebelled in history?
If he takes a step back, he still knows how to recruit talents, but he is just looking for some local chickens and dogs, such as...
If his disciple Tang Yin was based on the development of history, Tang Yin was sent back to his hometown after being involved in the imperial examination corruption case, but King Ning took him under his disciple. Think about it, a treacherous vassal king actually recruited such a traitor as Tang Yin.
Alas... Fang Jifan shook his head in his heart, forget it, after all, he is still his disciple, and once was half of his idol, so it would be better not to complain about it.
Fang Jifan glanced at Xu Jing, carefully accepted the letter, and then praised him without hesitation: "Xiao Xu, it's not bad, it's not bad. You did this beautifully."
In fact, among the five disciples, the one who gave Fang Jifan the biggest surprise was Xu Jing!
Xu Jing understands astronomy and geography. The most important thing is that he has high emotional intelligence and does nothing. Before, Ouyang Zhi and Tang Yin had some rifts. Seeing his mentor being so kind to Tang Yin, it was understandable that he felt so sad and could not help but reject Tang Yin. However, since Xu Jing became a disciple, he instantly got along with Ouyang Zhi, not to mention how warm he was.
Xu Jing was very modest, and quickly bowed, and said sincerely: "It is natural for students to recreate their kindness with their students."
Fang Jifan smiled with relief and said, "From the future, if the person surnamed Cao returns, you will be responsible for the reception."
Thinking that Xu Jing was independent enough, Fang Jifan felt at ease to hand over the matter to him.
As for the two jade bis that were sent, Fang Jifan was still shocked when Xu Jing sent it to Fang Jifan's sleep at night. This was a rare white jade, with almost no flaws and a size of a washbasin. No matter how you look at it, they are valuable things.
His Highness, King Ning, is really a big deal. Just one meeting gift, it is so extraordinary.
From this we can see that this guy has fought hard to rebel.
But at this time, Fang Jifan remembered something again. Since King Ning wanted to buy the Fang family, then...who else would he buy?
In history, King Ning has indeed bribed many people, even those around Zhu Houzhao, so that King Ning has accumulated strength in Nanchang and expanded the guards. Later, some people in the court heard of impeachment and were eventually suppressed.
By the way, there is Liu Jin, and historical records do record the fact that King Ning once bribed Liu Jin.
But... has King Ning bribed Liu Jin now?
Fang Jifan's eyes were spinning with agile movement, so why not... try...
The next morning, Fang Jifan hurried to the Zhan Shi Mansion, accompanied Zhu Houzhao, and obediently studied in the Minglun Hall in Zuochunfang. After school, he went to the Cultural Hall with Zhu Houzhao to sit down.
Fang Jifan sat upside down. The weather is hot now. As an official of the imperial guards, he had to wear such heavy boots. The boots were easy to hit the feet and were too hard, and had to wrap them with thick foot binding cloth. After this class, Fang Jifan felt that his feet were going to be rotten.
He was already shy, but saw Zhu Houzhao taking off his boots impatiently and unbuttoning his foot binding cloth. Suddenly, the smell of stinky salted fish filled.
Fang Jifan immediately started coughing desperately. Is this considered a biological weapon?
But he didn't care about this anymore, so he quickly took off his boots.
Liu Jin bowed forward, gave Zhu Houzhao a cup of tea, and smiled and wanted to retreat, but Fang Jifan suddenly said, "Your Highness..."
"Your feet are so smelly." Zhu Houzhao slapped her nose, looking like she was about to be disgusted.
Fang Jifan stared at him and scolded in his heart, "Shameless, no matter how bad you are, can you smell bad?"
"What's the matter? The fruits and melons and fruits in the West Mountain have been planted?"
"No." Fang Jifan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's me who thinks about something."
When he heard something was wrong, Liu Jin, who was about to leave, suddenly raised his ears and seemed to be tense.
"Do your Highness know about King Ning?" Fang Jifan said with a smile.
"King Ning..." Zhu Houzhao curled her lips and said without caring: "I've heard of it."
He looked cold.
In fact, Zhu Houzhao is quite heartless. He looks down on his two uncles and wants to slap them when he sees the Zhang brothers. As for other royal uncles, there are not many people who have good impressions. Of course, this is understandable. After all, there are more trash among the royal relatives.
Fang Jifan continued: "I heard that Your Highness Ning is wise and well-known in the world. In Nanchang Prefecture, he loves the people as much as his son, which is very admirable."
Zhu Houzhao rolled her eyes: "He loves his people, what's wrong with Guan'en?"
This...is a bit embarrassing...
A hint of surprise flashed through Liu Jin's eyes. He glanced at Fang Jifan unexpectedly. Obviously, he did not expect that Fang Jifan would take the opportunity to praise His Highness Ning at this time.
Fang Jifan smiled, "Your Highness can't say that. I dare to say rudely. Among the officials and royal family members and royal family members, except for my father who is still self-reliant and dedicated to the public, the rest of the people, Prince Ning is still like a person. Such a wise king cannot be found even with a lantern. The most important thing is that I also heard that he is loyal and that when His Majesty is not at peace with his dragon body, he is even worried."
Zhu Houzhao said oh, still looking at me.
Fang Jifan narrowed his eyes, but smiled again: "The most important thing is that His Highness Ning admires His Highness the Crown Prince."
Liu Jin carried Fang Jifan's back, his eyes rolled around, and used the excuse to wipe the dust of the palace lanterns in the corner with a chicken feather blanket.
Zhu Houzhao then felt a little interested and said with a little surprise: "He respects me, what do he respects me?"
Fang Jifan pursed his lips: "Of course, I admire Your Highness. It is said that he knows that Your Highness likes famous horses and is searching everywhere in Nanchang. He dare not offer this ordinary horse. He thought to himself that Your Highness is the first prince in ancient and modern times, and he must have the best horse in the world to match His Highness's majesty."
"Hmm?" Zhu Houzhao narrowed her eyes and finally laughed: "This guy is very sensible."
On the other side, there was a roar. It turned out that Liu Jin accidentally moved the lamp shelf while cleaning. The lamp shelf fell down and happened to hit Liu Jin!
Liu Jin screamed in ouch, and Zhu Houguan was upset at him, so he said displeased: "I am talking to Lao Fang, why are you still rushing here? Get out!"
Fang Jifan looked at Liu Jin with a smile, silent.
Zhu Houzhao was not very interested in this Ning King. When Liu Jin left, Fang Jifan looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness..."
