When Xiao Jing said this, he smiled, with his hands behind his back, facing the dark corner of the side hall. The candlelight in the hall could only shine on his side face, his smooth chin was slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth were gently moved.

"So who is hanging in the East Factory? Have you forgotten?"

The little eunuch said, "It's Prince Yue."

"That's it. With the portrait of Prince Yue, I remind you all the time to be loyal! I purify myself and enter the palace. From then on, I will be isolated from the outside, without fathers or mothers, without brothers or brothers, without wives or children. There is nothing left in this world except the emperor."

As he was talking, an eunuch hurried in.

"Your Majesty summoned."

Xiao Jing sorted out his clothes, turned around and spoke to his godson.

"Let's go, you can follow us to meet the saint."

"yes."

One in front and one behind, they entered the warm cabinet and saw the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Minister of War.

Xiao Jing stepped forward, Emperor Hongzhi looked up at him, and asked lightly, "Is there any report in Guizhou?"

"The East Factory has not been delivered yet."

"It's even slower than the Ministry of War?" Emperor Hongzhi frowned and couldn't help but shake his head.

Xiao Jing was busy apologizing.

"I am not good at admiral Dongchang, so I ask Your Majesty to punish you."

Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hand at him and then sighed.

"It's nothing big. This mountain is high and the water is far away. It is inevitable that there will be delays and negligence along the way."

As he said that, he lowered his head, glanced at the Ministry of War's report, and then ignored Xiao Jing. His bright eyes couldn't help but look at the Minister of War Ma Wensheng, frowned in confusion.

"The Fang Qing family has always been cautious. They went to Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan several times to suppress the civil unrest, but they did not misunderstand it. Why did this time, they were disobedient? Is it not harmonious with the Fang Qing family in the Dusi of Guizhou?"

Ma Wensheng hesitated for a while before moistening his throat and speaking.

"Your Majesty, I think it may not be big. General Fang is an earl. When he arrives in Guizhou, he is not comparable to ordinary generals. If the local Dushi, if he had not reported the truth, he would not dare to provoke General Fang."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and he expected that the Guizhou Dusi really would not dare to commit suicide on this.

"Governor Wang Shi, is there no news?"

Ma Wensheng sighed, "Governor Wang's general rescue of Anshun, and there is no news yet."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned deeper and deeper, "I have a bad premonition, hey..."

When Ma Wensheng heard this, he couldn't help but think about it before he said carefully every word.

"The news is too messy. If you want to know the truth about the matter, what happened in Guizhou is a long time."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded lightly and sighed.

"I hope nothing is wrong."

He finished speaking.

Xie Qian, a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the governor and the general were in conflict with Guizhou. General Fang disobeyed, and he did not have a good start. The old minister thought that if the court ignored him, he would only set a precedent, and someone would follow suit in the future..."

This is a crime.

Xiao Jing secretly glanced at Xie Qian.

Xie Qian has always been known for being straightforward. He doesn't care about the other person's methods when he sees him. If he thinks it is unreasonable, he will never make any mistakes with others. Last year, a distant relative broke the law and was impeached by him. This is well known to everyone.

Emperor Hongzhi showed no expression on his face, and his fingers gently knocked on the imperial desk, without commenting.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang remained silent.

"Your Majesty, this is not a trivial matter." Xie Qian said anxiously, "If the general can disobey orders without authorization, then wouldn't it be a joke for the imperial court to set up a governor and general military commander?"

Emperor Hongzhi sighed, raised his eyes but looked at Xiao Jing.

"Pan Xiao...what do you think?"

“…”

Liu Jian smiled. His Majesty did not ask about his opinions from Li Dongyu, but went to ask Xiao Jing. Isn’t this meaning obvious enough?

For law, Fang Jinglong violated the national law. This matter is a big deal, and it is enough to be beheaded.

Therefore, when His Majesty asked Xiao Jing, in fact, he hoped that Xiao Jing would say what the emperor wanted to say.

Xiao Jing was also a wise man and couldn't help but speak to Emperor Hongzhi with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I think the matter is not so serious."

Regardless of Xie Qian's unhappy gaze, Xiao Jing said slowly.

"The father and son of the Fang family made great contributions to the court, and everyone knows that Xinjianbo gave great contributions to the sweet potatoes, and the soldiers and civilians in the world were very happy. At this critical moment, if he punished his father, inside and outside the court, what would happen? I would probably guess that those who were chewing on the gossip would say that Your Majesty was too cold by nature."

"The law is nothing more than reason. Guizhou is long and the rivers are far away, and rebels are rampant. Whether it is the governor Wang Shi or the general Fang Jinglong, they are serving the court and sharing the worries of His Majesty. On this battlefield, there have always been ever-changing changes. Whoever says that the crime is now discussed will only make the court unkind, so I will take a look at it again."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and nodded, "Parent Xiao, what he said makes sense."

Xie Qian was stunned and shook his head helplessly. His Majesty's attitude was self-evident.

"Then let's take a look." Emperor Hongzhi cheered up and said lightly, "But, Fang Jinglong is indeed wrong, so I'll issue an order to reprimand."

"My emperor is wise." Xiao Jing rushed to say.

"When talking about this Fang family... I remember something." Xiao Jing said with a smile, "The father and son of the Fang family, Yunwen and Wu, is very admirable. I heard... Xinjian Bo took his disciples to teach in Xishan. There were many scholars who were fascinated by what new knowledge it was. Your Majesty, Fang Jifan is a great talent, and his knowledge must be very fresh."

“…”

Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian changed their faces suddenly.

The knowledge...is still fresh...

Scholars admire the past most but do not recommend new things. They use freshness to describe knowledge, but you, Xiao Jing, have no knowledge.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but wonder when he heard this, fresh knowledge? Even though his emotions fluctuated, he still didn't show any expression on his face.

"You go down."

"I obey the order." Xiao Jing smiled and stepped out.

His godson stood in front of the hall gate, lowered his head and had no chance to speak, so he tiptoed out. As soon as he saw his godfather walking away, he hurriedly chased after him and lowered his voice, "Godfather, didn't he say, what your Majesty likes, do we like? But why did the godfather turn the blame on the Fang family at the end?"

Xiao Jing stopped, looked back, stared at him sternly, and asked seriously, "What does it mean to turn the tables? Do we have one?"

“…”

Xiao Jing said lightly, "We are praising Fang Jifan. What do you know? It's a bad thing to say that he is knowledgeable?"

"I seem to understand a little."

"What do you understand?" Xiao Jing asked with his eyes narrowed.

"If you want to kill someone, you have to smile in front of you, so that you can go around behind him and give him a knife."

Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows with his hands behind his back, "Nothing is nonsense, loyalty is our way of dealing with the world. If you talk nonsense, be careful to pull your tongue."

……………………

“…”

The entire warm chalet was filled with an embarrassing atmosphere.

Emperor Hongzhi was also stunned.

Fang Jifan had already started teaching.

Still fresh knowledge.

This is so thick-skinned that he is so thick-skinned.

He sighed in his heart and shook his head, "This Fang Jifan is just a joke, don't take it seriously."

"Yes." Liu Jian's mood was quite complicated.

Xie Qian wanted to say something, but finally smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Li Dongyang smiled and said, "Your Majesty is saying."

…………

Here in the West Mountain.

The number of people coming to listen to the lecture began to increase.

It was not just a school child, but in fact, Wang Shouren had been off for two days and his class was already overcrowded.

At first, it was told to the students, but the students' teachers, the juren and scholars were listening all the time.

The more I listened, the more I felt that what this Shuji, named Wang Shouren said... was a bit strange and seemed a bit unreasonable, but gradually, I felt it was reasonable.

After listening to this for more than half a month, these scholars began to come and listen.

Wang Shouren was born to be a theorist.

His principles are always easy to understand.
