Emperor Hongzhi nodded, glanced at Queen Zhang, and said, "I have considered it."

"But..." Emperor Hongzhi said: "At this time, it shouldn't be our in a hurry. The Fang family has not formally submitted a petition for marriage. We are in a mess. Pingxi Hou was silent. Could it be that I would give an order to ask them for help?"

After hearing this, Queen Zhang nodded quickly: "That's the reason."

Emperor Hongzhi said, an eunuch came outside and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Jian and other great scholars were very excited when they heard that the prince was happy and insisted outside the warm cabinet to congratulate Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned, then overjoyed and said, "Yes, this is a double happiness. I am thinking about Xiurong's affairs, but I forgot it. Haha... Let's go and set up a warm pavilion, I will meet you in person."

As he said that, he resigned from Empress Zhang and quickly went to the Warm Pavilion. He saw Liu Jian and others kneeling here happily. When he saw Emperor Hongzhi from afar, he said excitedly: "I am going to congratulate you on your Majesty and congratulate you on your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, hurry up and go to the warm room to do it."

Seeing that Liu Jian and others were exhausted, Emperor Hongzhi felt a little guilty, so he went to the Warehouse and sat down, saying, "This is really a few tricks in this Jifan. He has all the tricks."

Liu Jian and others actually knew in their hearts that Fang Jifan held up the sword and directly changed the direction of the Ming Dynasty.

It is a great matter for the prince to have no son, but now, it has finally come to everyone's hearts.

Liu Jian said: "Yes, yes, yes, Fang Jifan made a great contribution. I wonder how his Majesty plans to reward him?"

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "Well, I'm thinking."

At present, of course, I have to hold on. Pingxi Hou has come to ask for a marriage proposal. No, I have to lick my face to ask for a marriage proposal. Next, what the palace is considering.

It is also shameful to marry a daughter in the royal family.

Liu Jian and others became surprised that such contributions were only to think about it.

This Majesty... is indeed famous for being stingy, but this makes sense. What should I reward such a great contribution? On the surface, it is hard to say. Could it be that Fang Jifan's gynecology master made the prince pregnant? So this is a great contribution? So the emperor rewarded him heavily?

Well, this has nothing to do with me.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed afraid that Liu Jian and others would study it deeply, so he said, "You are the best, now, the major matters have been settled, and I am determined. Since the country's fortune can continue, I should work harder. What should I discuss today?"

Liu Jiancai remembered something and said, "Your Majesty, the dispute between Annan and our Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more obvious, especially about Milu... No, the disputes over the Liu territory are becoming more and more frequent. There were some conflicts between the two sides at the border. Pingxi Hou had some conflicts with them. After that, Yunnan, Guangxi and other places exposed the arbitrarily changing the calendar of Annan. Your Majesty... This is a memorial for impeachment."

Xiao Jing delivered the memorial to Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi looked down and realized it in his heart that when the Ming Dynasty withdrew from Annan and officially recognized Annan as a vassal state, to some extent, although it maintained its dignity, it was equivalent to a military failure. Everyone knew this in their hearts that after the Ming Dynasty withdrew, Annan Kingdom was obedient on the surface, but in their hearts, they were already a little disdainful of the Ming Dynasty. With their years of combat experience with the Ming army, they began to embezzle Chameng and nearby countries. They were already domineering in the West and were very domineering.

Therefore, although he claimed to be a minister in his official documents to the Ming Dynasty, but he could close his door, he regarded himself as the emperor and claimed that he was the true Chinese. Milu tribes spanned Yunnan and Guizhou and bordered Annan Kingdom. After the Milu rebellion, Annan Kingdom pretended to help the Ming Dynasty eliminate the Milu rebellion, but it occupied a large amount of territory of the native tribes such as Milu, and its forces had invaded the hinterland of Yunnan and Guizhou.

Originally, these territories were mostly high mountains and ridges, and the Ming Dynasty was too lazy to care about them.

But then, things turned around. Milu became the wife of Pingxihou at this time, and her tribe naturally became a force to loyal to the court. Milu's tribe was expelled to the hinterland of Yunnan and Guizhou by the Annan people, but behind them was Fang Jinglong, who was guarding Guizhou. At this moment, the natives who had originally failed in the rebellion and were in danger naturally wanted to return to their hometown. The battle became more and more scent of gunpowder.

Emperor Hongzhi remembered something and said, "Previously, I ordered the imperial envoy to go to Annan to instruct King Annan and ordered him to spit out the occupied territory. What was the result?"

"King Annan was dismissed and treated the envoys and said a lot of good things, but the border was still motionless. Not only that, it also had a tendency to become more and more intense." Liu Jian said.

Emperor Hongzhi was furious: "Do they do this to control our Ming Dynasty and dare not fight against Annan?"

Liu Jian and others were silent.

After a long time, Li Dongyang said: "Your Majesty, even if this is the case, the imperial court has no meaning to using troops to Annan. Moreover, with the lessons of Emperor Wen, I think that if you take great action, you need to be very cautious."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said, "Let me order someone to reprimand me again."

Xie Qian shook his head: "I think it is not possible. The court's previous reprimand, and the people of Annan were disobedient. This shows that the reprimand has no effect. If the reprimand continues, it will only make the people of Annan look down on the court more and think that the Ming Dynasty has no other way to them. In my opinion, it may be better to close the trade with Annan, issue an order to announce it to the world, reprimand it, suspend the tribute with Annan, and see what their reaction will be. Seeing that the court is like this, they should know that the court's attitude is firm and know that continuing this may lead to terrible results. Perhaps, they will stop..."

Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while: "Then do it according to what you said."

But at this moment, an eunuch hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, Minister of War Ma Wensheng asked for a visit."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Call in."

A moment later, Ma Wensheng stepped in quickly. When he saw Emperor Hongzhi, he bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, something happened. There is a big epidemic in the military in the Yunnan and Guizhou areas!"

"What?" Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

Liu Jian and others also looked at each other.

Ma Wensheng held the report in his hand: "The Duke of Qian came to report. This time the epidemic spreads very quickly, especially the various guards, which is very serious. The soldiers were afraid of the cold at first, but then they had fever and vomited violently. What's worse, they fainted and were unconscious... Not only in Yunnan, but also in Guizhou."

Emperor Hongzhi was silent.

It's malaria again.

This malaria occurs almost once every decade. Although there are occasional outbreaks, it is extremely terrible when it comes to a major outbreak.

This kind of epidemic is not only in Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and other places, but is often in the military.

On the one hand, the military military guards built by the Ming Dynasty were mostly Han people. When the Han people arrived there, they were very likely to be unacceptable to the local environment, while the natives had relatively stronger resistance.

On the other hand, the army is densely populated, and once it is infected, it will spread wildly.

The Ming Dynasty was in Yunnan and Guizhou, and even after the initial occupation of Annan, an outbreak of an epidemic occurred, which resulted in the death of tens of thousands of people, and countless people who lost their combat capabilities. This was also the reason why the Ming Dynasty finally chose to withdraw its troops in Annan and in Yunnan and Guizhou, he had to rely on local chieftains to rule, because every time the outbreak of the epidemic was the weakest time in the southwest.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said, "This is the injustice of God."

With a sigh, Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Liu Jian and others.

Liu Jian also sighed and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has just met Annan Country..."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "There is no need to be carried out to cut off the trade and tribute, nor do you need to tell the world that you have sent an envoy to Annan and tell the King of Annan to explain the righteousness."

This means that you can only tolerate it temporarily at this time.

As for what will happen if you know the righteousness, only God knows.

"Issuing an order to order the Duke of Qian and the Marquis of Pingxi to take precautions and try their best to alleviate the epidemic."

Ma Wensheng glanced at Emperor Hongzhi and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Hou Pingxi has also been infected with the epidemic."

"What?" Emperor Hongzhi's face changed.

Ma Wensheng sighed and took out a report: "This is the report of Pingxi Hou, he said...he said..."

Ma Wensheng wanted to speak but stopped, which was a little difficult to speak.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't bear to go to see the memorial himself, so he sighed and said, "I'll say it."

Ma Wensheng said laughing and cryingly: "When Pingxi Hou was guarding Guizhou, an epidemic occurred in the army at this time, and he was already infected during the inspection. At this moment, he was in danger and did not know life or death. If he could die in Guizhou, although it was not considered a horse-haired body, he could be loyal to the court in Guizhou, it would be no regrets. He also said that he only had one son, and he had been indulging in his childhood. He was about to die and his words were good. He had always had a bold idea in his heart..."

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

Ma Wensheng said: "He said that his son is still a good person, and he heard that His Royal Highness is waiting for his name..."

Liu Jian…has a feeling of ripping a dog.

This man is about to die, and Pingxi Hou is still thinking about this.

But after thinking about it carefully, Liu Jian understood that he really felt sorry for his parents in the world.

For Pingxi Hou, his son is good at everything, but it is a bit unreliable. He has mixed reputations and criticisms. If others are alive, there is no need to worry. If you are not alive, you will be afraid. If your son is no longer alive, it will be difficult to end. Although the emperor always has some old feelings for the other party, who knows that Fang Jifan is brave enough to do something terrible.

Therefore, for Pingxi Hou, he dared not think too much about what future the family has in the future. He was seeking stability. If he could die of loyalty to the court and lead to such a marriage, Fang Jifan would certainly become the son-in-law, and the Fang family would become a hero and a relative of the foreigner, but with His Majesty's love for His Royal Highness, Fang Jifan would almost have the indestructible body of Vajra and have caused such a big fuss. There would always be someone who could end up for him and not be punished.
