Chapter 7: Listening to Heaven

The eunuch received the order and left in a hurry.

But not long after, the eunuch went back: "Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good. Tongzhengsi sent someone to the Fang family to ask, saying that Nan Hebo... fainted..."

Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting aside, lowering her head, as if she was reflecting. When she heard someone fainted, she was shocked and her eyes were shining. But when her eyes touched her father, she lowered her head as if she had made a mistake.

Emperor Hongzhi hurriedly said in surprise: "Have you fainted? He is in his prime and a brave general. He has just returned from triumphantly. What happened?"

The eunuch said laughing and cryingly: "It is said... it is said that he was so angry that he was angry by his son. Nan He Bo was fighting outside. His son Fang Jifan sold all the land of the Fang family. This is not only that, but he also bought ebony after hearing the bad news. After hearing this, he also heard that not only sold the ancestral property, but also passed on the ancestral property... "

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but say, "There is such a person?"

The eunuch was afraid that His Majesty would not believe it: "Your Majesty has no idea. Fang Jifan, the son of Nanhe Bo, was a famous prodigal son in the capital. He has refused to study since he was a child. He has been idle all day long, eating, drinking, gambled, and is proficient in everything. He has long been famous. He is the only son of Nanhe Bo. Nanhe Bo has always been doting on him, so he has no scruples. Everyone in the capital knows him..."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said, "It's unheard of so evil, but I feel sorry for Nan Hebo. He fought outside and made great contributions to the court, but it caught fire in the backyard. At the beginning of a person, he was good at nature. This is the result of excessive spoiling. I passed the order..."

Emperor Hongzhi stood up, walked two steps in the warm pavilion, pondered: "I ordered the imperial doctor to treat Nan Hebo, and his son Fang Jifan, who was ignorant of his studies and was unsophisticated..." The emperor was obviously furious, with murderous aura on his face, and was about to punish him severely, but then he thought about it and sighed: "Forget it, my son will not teach him. Nan Hebo has made new military achievements in his father's mistakes, and now he has suffered this disaster again. If he punished his son again... it will make him feel uneasy. The review is about to be reviewed, so let this son participate in the review."

The eunuch responded quickly and hesitated for a moment: "In previous years, this Fang Jifan refused to go."

Emperor Hongzhi immediately pulled down his face: "Even if you tie it, you must tie it up."

Zhu Houzhao, who was beside him, heard it and almost laughed out loud, unable to help but gloat.

However, at this moment, he saw the eyes of his father shooting like a sword. Zhu Houzhao raised his eyes in surprise and intertwined with his father's eyes. He saw that there was a bit of murderous aura in this gaze that should have been loving...

Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt like a ray of light in his heart, and was about to start pretending to be pitiful, but Emperor Hongzhi said sternly: "You are the prince. Can the prince abandon his studies? After studying the argument for treason for so long, he still can't recite it. How can he be worthy of his ancestors?"

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly squeezed out tears and sobbed: "Yes, yes, my son-in-law doesn't dare."

But today, he found that his father had become a stern heart. When he was crying, he still had a calm face and shouted sternly: "I usually dote on you too much. If I indulge you today, you will be even worse than the boy of the Fang family in the future. He lost his ancestral property, but when I die in the future, you will lose your country and country. You are no longer young, and you still don't know what's going on. How can I feel at ease? Within three days, I will copy the "On the Debate of Tyrants" twenty times. I will check it myself. If I cheat, I will never let it go!"

Zhu Houzhao had never seen his father get so angry. When he heard that he had to copy the "On the Debate of Tyrants" twenty times, his heart was like a knife to cut off. Who would offend whom he would mess with, but he nodded quickly: "My son obeyed the order..."

Emperor Hongzhi's face was slightly calmer, but he still held his face: "I'll go to Zhan Shi Mansion to study, so I'll be upset here."

After thinking about it, Zhu Houzhao finally got back to the taste!

The surname Fang, are you cheating? Will you have a good life in the future?

…………

The imperial doctor came to the Fang family. In fact, Fang Jinglong was just frightened and fainted. He woke up quickly, but his eyes were a little dull. Thinking that the family business was gone, it was exchanged for a pile of ebony, which was piled up in the backyard. The general of Zhengnan suddenly became depressed.

It's embarrassing. I'm so embarrassed that I'm so shameless to be a human being. Even His Majesty already knows it, and I've sent an imperial physician...

Fang Jinglong is not a person with too thin skin, but whenever he thinks of this, he wants to find a crack in the ground to get into it.

During the meal, the father and the two were sitting on a long bench. Fang Jifan was afraid that Fang Jinglong would beat him, so he deliberately moved a little farther away. As for the food, it was naturally not much better. Deng Jian, who was standing behind Fang Jifan, was also very careful.

Fang Jifan was ups and downs and was quite confused, so he had to sigh secretly, don’t be anxious, wait for the price of ebony to soar, and he must redeem all the land. No, buy the best one.

Bang...

Fang Jifan was startled when he heard the news. There were still vegetable leaves in his mouth. His handsome face turned pale in an instant. He thought that this time his father was going crazy and wanted to beat someone up.

When he looked up, he saw Fang Jinglong slapped the chopsticks on the willow wooden table, then raised his head, his nose was a little red, and his eyes were slightly moist. He sighed and said, "I'm sorry for the ancestors."

"Dad..." Fang Jifan carefully tentatively: "Don't mention ancestors..." He shrank his neck: "I always feel the wind is blowing."

Fang Jinglong glared at him and then looked at Deng Jian.

Deng Jian was also surprised: "Young Master, you call him dad again...isn't it..."

Fang Jifan wanted to tear Deng Jian's grandson into pieces. What's wrong with my name dad? He is my dad.

But after thinking about it carefully, I really don’t want to be arrested by the doctor for research again.

At this point, prodigality has become an instinct, and one cannot forget one's roots.

He grinned his teeth: "Old thing, can you still let someone eat?"

Fang Jinglong wanted to say something, and pursed his lips and looked at his son, which melted again. He couldn't help but say kindly: "Jifan, you never grew up. Our Fang family has been blessed by the ancestors. You have never liked to study or practice martial arts since childhood. No matter how others view it, you don't care about your father at all. But sometimes, when you see the children of other dukes, marquis and uncles attending the school review, you have sent a message, and you feel more or less envious. The school review period this year has arrived. When you return to Beijing, you are still thinking, how good it would be if Jifan went to try his luck, but who knows that when you come back, you will see you selling your ancestral property. At this time, you will have no hope for your father. Now you only hope that your illness will be cured and will not recur. You will be safe all your life. If you attack your lord in the future, it doesn't matter if you don't send it."

The so-called proofreading is not really proofreading.

Almost all the nobles of the Ming Dynasty had to be in office. This was a rule that had been established since Emperor Taizu. After all, although the titles of the Ming Dynasty were hereditary, their salary was not high. For example, Fang Jinglong, he received three shares of the salary, one was based on the Earl of Nanhe and the other was his current position. For example, he now serves in the army and is the deputy governor of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, and the other was military merits. This time he would definitely receive rewards when he returned from the southern expedition.

But if they don’t participate in the school review, they will have no dispatch and can only rely on their titles and salary. The most important thing the nobles of the nobles value is this. Almost any noble children in the capital have some promising positions in the twenty-six guards of the personal army, in the Zongling Mansion, or in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Army, but like Fang Jifan, they can only have idle meals for the rest of their lives.

If you want to be sent, you must pass the proofreading. The proofreading is an examination, which is the examination of the nobles.
