Chapter 232: Congratulations, Your Majesty
At first, the school children seemed very awkward when riding horses. Many people looked frightened on their faces, and they held the horse bridge tightly with their hands, and even cried, crying.
There was also like the big-headed Xu Jie, who laughed wildly, but he was the worst. Perhaps because of the laughter, the little foal under his seat was injured and he directly threw him off the horse. Fortunately, the sweet potato field here was soft and the geology was soft. In addition to having a little more Saturn in his mouth, he turned on the horse again.
Zhu Houzhao was panting and found it very interesting. It seemed that when he arrived in front of these students, he felt that he looked like a real man. He rode his horse leisurely for a few times before he stopped the horse and gathered the students to explain the habits of horses and the skills of riding horses to them.
After the school children were disbanded, Zhu Houzhao saw Fang Jifan looking into the distance.
With a cheerful smile, he rushed forward happily and said, "Lao Fang, how about it? Are you satisfied with the dean of this palace?"
Fang Jifan was naturally not stingy with kind words: "Your Highness is wise."
Zhu Houzhao put his hands behind his back and put away his smile. His face showed a little seriousness, and said, "I feel that it is inappropriate when I hear your wise words. It's strange. I think these school children cannot study hard and need to be healthy. In our Ming Dynasty, there are more scholars than dogs. What's the matter? Do you think?"
Fang Jifan deeply agreed with this. There were indeed too many scholars, and it had reached a point where people were overcrowded.
However, he still said, "It's not possible to not read, and it's not clear whether you don't read."
Zhu Houzhao smiled a little again at this time and said, "What I want is someone like the champion marquis. Look, didn't Emperor Wu train the champion marquis to become the champion marquis? From now on, I urge them to ride horses every day."
Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao meaningfully: "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that it will be passed into Your Majesty's ears and will bring His Majesty's punishment?"
Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly, crossed her hands, and turned to carry the schoolchild named Xu Jie. Xu Jie looked nine years old and looked quite tall. Zhu Houzhao shouted at him: "Tell me loudly, do you want to ride a horse? Do you want to shoot arrows?"
"I want to!" Xu Jie yelled excitedly.
Zhu Houzhao kicked him gently in the ass: "Get out."
This kick made Xu Jie loosen his breeches, revealing half of his pig, shaking white and conspicuous. He quickly carried his trouser belt and went happily.
"Did you hear that the school children like to ride horses?" Zhu Houzhao crossed his hands again and whispered loudly: "What's the matter with my father? This academy is the territory of my palace, and my words are very useful."
Fang Jifan could only give a thumbs up admiringly: "Your Highness is wise."
...
In the warmer.
At this time, Emperor Hongzhi was holding several letters in his hand, but his face turned a little red. He was originally immersed in the joy of sweet potatoes. He had been eating sweet potato rice for three consecutive days. The emperor set an example, and all the civil and military officials in the court were happy to eat sweet potato rice.
But after reading this letter...
Emperor Hongzhi looked around and said, "Xiao Jing..."
Xiao Jing bowed his body: "I am here."
"The prince has been in the West Mountain recently?"
"Ah..." Xiao Jing subconsciously read the letter in the hand of Emperor Hongzhi, and couldn't help but... he was a little confused. How did Your Majesty know?
Xiao Jinglao said honestly: "Yes."
Suddenly, Emperor Hongzhi slapped the desk violently and said angrily: "This rebellious son is good enough to harm himself, but he even harms others!"
"Ah..." Xiao Jing still didn't understand why His Majesty suddenly got angry.
Emperor Hongzhi said with a cold face: "I asked you to inquire about Xishan Academy, have you inquire?"
"I've inquired, it's His Highness the Crown Prince and Fang Jifan..."
Before Xiao Jing finished speaking, Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing coldly and interrupted, "The prince is the prince, why should Fang Jifan be involved? Apart from this bastard, who else can do this? Fang Jifan has been tossing his sweet potatoes a few days ago. Who doesn't know about the people in the world? I don't believe that Fang Jifan has worked hard for this sweet potato, and can still separate himself and take the initiative to set up academy. It's not that this rebellious son always thinks about making trouble, and Fang Jifan will make trouble with him? Humph!"
Emperor Hongzhi is really angry.
Look at the children in the military farm, aren’t they all young? If Fang Jifan doesn’t say that, Zhang Xin and Yang Da are all trying their best to serve the court and the country. They are all unknown and work hard for the court in the ridge of the fields. The prince is the future lord, but what are they doing?
Thinking of this, the prince is even more of a thing.
To put it bluntly, even those school children, such as xxo, look at how well they wrote, Dean Zhu taught us to ride a horse, but we think it is wrong for Dean Zhu to ride a horse like this and trample on the farmland.
Even the eight-year-old child knows that this is...wrong.
There is another article, Dean Zhu said that the emperor is far away...
Emperor Hongzhi looked gloomy and wanted to have an attack, but desperately tried to hold it up.
But at this time, an eunuch came in step by step and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Minister of War Ma Wensheng asked for a visit."
“…”
A burst of anger finally faded a little.
Emperor Hongzhi accidentally took back several letters in his sleeve, and then said expressionlessly: "Xuan."
Ma Wensheng walked into the warm pavilion excitedly. As soon as he saw Emperor Hongzhi, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are so happy, so happy."
"Where does the joy come from?" Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly.
Ma Wensheng immediately said, "With the news in the prison, Liu Daxia admitted it. The so-called burning of the eunuch's three treasures was actually fake. Although it was a warehouse, the documents inside had been emptied in advance. He just wanted to eliminate Mr. Xiang's intention to go to the sea and keep those documents in order to prevent the future. These documents were in Liu Daxia's old house. Your Majesty, this is God Blessing the Ming Dynasty. I have ordered people to go to Liu Daxia's old house. As long as these materials are retrieved, the Ministry of War will be easy to deal with. I don't know how much money and food can be saved."
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he was immediately excited: "Okay, you said it right, it's really God bless the Ming Dynasty." Then, he sneered again and said, "Then Liu Daxia is really shameless."
There was only such an understatement of comments, but I didn't continue.
It seems that there is no other instruction to Liu Daxia.
Ma Wensheng sighed in his heart. The trial was found, but so what? Your Majesty said was shameless. There was no airtight wall in the palace. The Beizhen Fushi naturally knew what to do. I am afraid that Liu Daxia would spend the rest of his life in that terrifying imperial prison. Life is better than death than death.
"By the way." Emperor Hongzhi suddenly said: "Ma Qing's family, why is it not for Mou Bin to report the matter of the imperial prison, but for your Minister of War first."
This is indeed a strange thing. Since it is the news from the imperial prison, it has nothing to do with the Minister of War. Even if you report it, it is still the business of the Jinyiwei. How could your Ministry of War get the news as soon as possible?
Ma Wensheng smiled bitterly and said, "I talked to Fang Jifan a few days ago. Fang Jifan said that it is very likely that these documents are still there, and that the so-called burning of documents is just a means for Liu Daxia, and it is definitely not an end. Liu Daxia will definitely keep it."
Emperor Hongzhi was quite shocked when he heard this.
It's just a means, not an end.
At that time, Emperor Hongzhi did not expect it, but never expected that Fang Jifan had thought of it.
At this time, Ma Wensheng said again: "The most urgent task of the Ministry of War is to draw up the charter for voyage to the West. With and without these documents, it is crucial. I have hope in my heart, so... I simply waited in the imperial prison. As soon as there was news, I came to report it."
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but sigh: "Oh... Fang Jifan is such a smart person. If the prince is half of his, I will feel relieved."
"Yes." Ma Wensheng couldn't help but sigh: "I often heard people say that he was not worthy of being a son, and was ridiculous in his family. He was not as good as a pig or dog. A few days ago, I had some dealings with him... Although I thought he was a little..."
Ma Wensheng thought of a word hard; "Some people are inhumane, but far from being like this in rumors. I think that the rumors from the outside world must not be like this in reality, but seeing them is true. People nowadays can't tell you if they are right or wrong and believe in rumors."
He shook his head, looking very moved by Fang Jifan.
Emperor Hongzhi nodded deeply and said, "This is indeed the reason."
However, he couldn't help but get angry again. Without comparison, there would be no harm, so...
The prince is really not a beast. Zhu Houzhao wants to make trouble, but he is fine if he is trying to do something, but he still wants to pull Fang Jifan, so that everyone in the world thinks that Fang Jifan asked His Highness to make trouble. But the fact is that Fang Jifan is the victim, and he eventually ruined Fang Jifan's reputation. Who dares to criticize him as the first in charge?
The more Emperor Hongzhi thought about it, the more he felt sad. How much blame has Fang Jifan taken for the prince these days?
But... Emperor Hongzhi would never mention these things to Ma Wensheng.
This kind of thing is only suitable to find an opportunity to close the door and punish the prince severely until he is convinced.
Emperor Hongzhi said, "Now, when the documents come, immediately select people from the Ministry of War to study for good life. Then, another charter is introduced. The matter of voyage to the West is imminent. This is not just my expectation, but the expectation of all people in the world."
Ma Wensheng nodded and said, "I obey the order."
When Ma Wensheng left, Emperor Hongzhi had a cold face and knelt behind the imperial case, without moving at all.
Xiao Jing looked at His Majesty carefully and quietly waited for the emperor to think about all kinds of state affairs.
Suddenly, Emperor Hongzhi said, "Why is the prince's temperament not like me at all?"
Xiao Jing was silent for a moment before saying, "I dared to say anything, Your Majesty's temperament is not like the previous emperor."
“…”
Emperor Hongzhi sneered and shook his head and said, "I really hope that this kid will not delay others, otherwise I will be uneasy."
