Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Four: The Great Master
Emperor Hongzhi's heart was probably desperate.
He suddenly realized that he was very conflicted.
If this spoiler is really capable and dares to privately seal the jade seal and prepare a gold knife, although this is a traitor, it also shows that if this son wants to be an emperor, he has some ambitions.
This world is yours anyway! Emperor Hongzhi is not a person who is greedy for power and position. To be honest, he is a very hard-earned emperor. Isn’t it just to give a wife’s fair country to his son?
If my son has ambitions, he still wants to do so. I would rather enjoy his happiness.
But the problem is that he carved jade seals, forged imperial edicts, and then ran to give himself the title of the dean of the academy. What else is there to do with the general officer of the West Mountain? You say he is so ruthless, but it is more like a child's play.
I won’t say that the president of the academy is very big?
It's very big, mastering the troops of a province!
But where is Xishan? It is only a few dozen miles in a radius. Can you have some success?
Emperor Hongzhi really wants to hang up Zhu Houzhao and beat him up now.
I was so angry that I wanted to vomit blood.
But the problem is that the forged imperial edict has been posted by Dalala. Now we have to admit that the prince forged imperial edict?
This is too serious, it is simply a joke and a joke! From now on, how will people view this stupid prince?
Pinch your nose and admit it...
When Emperor Hongzhi thought of this, he wanted to kill this spoiler.
Will the emperor of the Ming Dynasty issue such a ridiculous imperial edict? Will the palace make the edict of the president of Xishan Academy be chaotic, and will a general officer of Xishan be created?
You, Zhu Houzhao, are shameless, he still feels embarrassing.
Zhu Houzhao raised his eyes carefully, looked at Emperor Hongzhi's face, then quickly lowered his head, and said tremblingly: "Father... I actually wanted to discuss it with my father, but I thought that my father would be angry, so I still didn't report it."
"Kneel down." Emperor Hongzhi sighed, his eyes red: "I want to be quiet."
Zhu Houzhao was so amnesty that he quickly knelt even more straight.
Well, it’s better to be on your knees than to be beaten!
After a while, a eunuch finally came in and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Xin Jianbo and Wang Editor have arrived."
"Xuan them come in." Emperor Hongzhi looked bored.
Not long after, Fang Jifan and Wang Shouren entered the warm pavilion one by one. Although they had just entered the warm pavilion, Fang Jifan seemed to be very familiar with the place, so he subconsciously looked at a corner.
Sure enough, seeing the prince kneeling here upright, Fang Jifan was happy and gave a wink at Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan's eyes were intertwined, and they found that Emperor Hongzhi was looking at him. He was so scared that he lowered his head again.
The prince's experience always gives Fang Jifan the feeling of killing chickens and scaring monkeys.
Look, Your Majesty is so cruel to his son, do you have a way out?
Fang Jifan was a little funny, but now he couldn't. As he thought about it, he shuddered and tried hard to smile and said, "Your Majesty..."
"Xishan Academy is very good." Emperor Hongzhi went straight to the topic.
I think he was very angry, so he naturally wouldn't have a good face.
Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "This is mainly..."
Halfway through, Emperor Hongzhi interrupted impatiently: "A decree was posted in the academy. Do you know? It's under the plaque of the Wanshi Masters in Minglun Hall."
"I know." Fang Jifan said: "This is your majesty's gift. Your Majesty's prince is extremely intelligent. Your Majesty ordered him to be the president of the academy and the general officer of the Xishan Mountain! Everyone in the academy was happy and cheered. Everyone was saying that Your Majesty's wiseness and regards scholars as innocent as children, so the scholars are studying hard. Today's provincial examination list was released. Thirteen scholars of the academy and Gudu High School. This is not only the kindness of His Majesty's prince, but also the leadership of His Majesty's academy. He has worked hard and made great contributions."
“…”
Can you say that?
Wang Shouren opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
In fact, Wang Shouren is a straightforward person. He felt that what his mentor said was wrong and wanted to correct it.
Fang Jifan looked back fiercely and glared at him as if he was ready.
Only then did Wang Shouren obediently swallow his words back into his stomach.
Emperor Hongzhi was a little confused.
He sneered in the end, "It's not the credit of this vilifying son, I don't hide it from you. This edict is a forgery."
"..." This time, it was Fang Jifan's turn to be shocked.
No, I read the edict at the beginning, and it didn’t seem to be fake, especially the treasure seal. Who dares to fake it?
He looked back at Zhu Houzhao, who lowered his head treacherously.
Fang Jifan was a little confused. Obviously, Emperor Hongzhi was not joking with him!
Do you think you are a victim? Should you reiterate it? In this way, it will be easier to draw a clear line.
He thought about it in a mess, but felt that the boundaries were too clear, which seemed a bit unrighteous enough. After all, our Fang Jifan was once a righteous person.
"You don't know about this?" Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan, as if he wanted to find out the truth from Fang Jifan's face.
Obviously, Long Yan was furious.
But Fang Jifan felt that he was really wronged than Dou E.
This time, he really didn't know.
However, Zhu Houzhao said at this time: "Father, Fang Jifan is indeed unaware of it."
“…”
It would be fine if Zhu Houzhao didn't say this. Fang Jifan felt a little uncomfortable after hearing what he said, and he couldn't help but fight between heaven and man.
Which one is more precious, whether it is loyalty or your own life? It seems that the latter is more practical.
But Xiao Zhu Xiucai is actually quite loyal. This is the truth. People are making excuses for themselves everywhere and they are also good to themselves in the past.
After thinking about it, Fang Jifan finally made up his mind and said, "Your Majesty, I know."
"What?" Emperor Hongzhi's face became even more stern.
Fang Jifan said: "My emperor is so wise and will definitely not issue such a strange edict, so after seeing the edict, I doubt it."
Emperor Hongzhi did not say a word.
In fact, Fang Ren was quite nervous, but he still tried to calmly say: "But I still accepted this order. This is because, if the imperial edict is false, then I will have to investigate who is brave enough to be issued. Once the false edict is exploring it, the consequences will be unimaginable."
My face, which was still tight just now, began to soothe a little.
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were a little more gentle.
Fang Jifan was still very steady and thought of this level.
"So I think that as long as this imperial edict is sent by His Royal Highness, no matter whether it is true or false, I think it is true. It is the imperial edict in the palace. Moreover, the imperial edict is just a confirmation of the official position. There is nothing wrong with it. Xishan Academy has the crown prince as the dean, and it is honored to have passed the thirteen juren in the academy. Your Majesty, this is a great joy. Your Majesty has a great scholar. Your Majesty has a great scholar. Isn't it a happy event? These thirteen juren, now when they see the crown prince, they have to call the crown prince a great master. Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Grand Master...
There is a difference between a great master and a mentor. The mentor is a mentor who teaches his knowledge, that is, a man who teaches knowledge himself. Just like Wang Shouren calls Fang Jifan the mentor, this is a relatively close teacher-student relationship.
Grandmasters originally mean people who have achieved extraordinary achievements, respected and regarded as role models. After the Ming Dynasty, people generally called academic officials as masters. For example, scholars from a certain county, when they met academic officials in their county, theoretically, academic officials had the responsibility to teach scholars in their county, so they often called academic officials as masters.
Although this is a relatively wide title, to some extent, it can be said that the scholars in this academy are all disciples of the prince in a broad sense.
"..." Emperor Hongzhi suddenly realized something.
Of course he didn't believe that the prince had any deep intentions to go to forge the imperial edict.
But Fang Jifan reminded him like this...
This Xishan Academy does not seem to be like a miscellaneous academy. A provincial examination in Shuntian Prefecture, he won thirteen juren at once and directly dominated the list. With such a terrifying strength, these juren...
Taking a deep breath, Emperor Hongzhi said, "The Qing family will continue to talk."
This time, I started to be called the Qing family.
It's like saying that everyone has become good friends again.
Fang Jifan continued, "What's more, the reason why His Highness the Crown Prince forged the imperial edict is really just because he is greedy for fun? I don't think so. If His Highness is just playing, there are too many things to play in the world. But why should the Crown Prince claim to be the president of the academy? It can be seen that His Highness is eager to be able to truly stand alone and share his worries for His Majesty."
"..." Zhu Houzhao's eyes were straight when she heard this. Can she still explain this way? Lao Fang... is also considered a talent.
Emperor Hongzhi had already stood up, thoughtfully, and in the warm room, he was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, as if he was beginning to weigh the pros and cons.
Fang Jifan said again: "Why can these disciples of me win the appreciation of Your Majesty? Let's talk about Ouyang Zhi, Ouyang Zhi... If I always treat him as a child and only let him study in my house obediently, then he will always be a pedantic scholar who never grows up. No matter how good you study, what's the use? There is never a shortage of scholars in the world, but what is the lack of talent in the world, so I try every means to let him go to Liaodong to temper himself so that he can stand alone and understand the difference between reading and doing things."
"I treat other disciples most of the same."
"The same is true for Your Highness. If Your Majesty always treats Your Highness as a child, then Your Highness will always be a child. Your Majesty, Your Highness has grown up and has already had his own ideas. This is a gratifying thing. Your Majesty does not encourage him, but instead accuses me... I think this is inappropriate. Your Majesty, Your Highness will sooner or later succeed the Grand Priest and stand on his own. He is no longer a child."
