Chapter seven hundred and fortieth: see the driver
Fang Jifan never expected that this emperor and the official of the Ministry of Personnel were serious and always kept on everyone, even Liu Jian wanted to sell him some face.
Now it is so amiable and so intimate to myself.
Sure enough, the rumors outside are not trustworthy.
Others say that our Jiefan is not a thing, but who knows that our Jiefan is a country and the people has arrogance and integrity like plum blossoms.
Outsiders say that it is difficult for princes to get close to each other, but they did not expect that Princes and Princess are so easy to get along with. Fang Jifan found the feeling of home when he was with him. He couldn't help but hum: "Go home often and go home to see it. Even if you help your mother clean chopsticks and wash dishes, the elderly don't want their children to make a great contribution to the family. It's not easy to be reunited in your life."
Fang Jifan said modestly: "The prince cared for Jifan so much, and Jifan is really ashamed."
Wang Ao smiled and was still kind and friendly. How could he be unhappy? Now everyone is talking about himself, saying that he is kind and righteous, with good deeds and good deeds, and is just as good as Guan Zhong.
What an evaluation is this? I am old and I want this reputation for integrity. With this good story, even if I die tomorrow, if the court does not posthumously named me as "Duke Wen Zheng", it will probably be difficult for the public to convince the public.
"Wen Zheng", when Wang Ao thought of the word "Wen Zheng", his eyes lit up. This is the highest evaluation of civil officials. Compared with the military officer who was posthumously awarded as "King of Hejian" and "King of Qianning". It is not that those who have both virtue and skills, but who have both virtue and talent, and who have great achievements in the country and the people will never be able to get it.
These days, he is in a particularly good mood. He likes everyone he sees and wants to kiss everyone. Even if he is as strange as Xiao Jing, he feels that it has a unique flavor.
He enthusiastically held Fang Jifan's hand: "Hey, don't always call him a prince. Prince, you are too distant. I have some friendship with your father, just call him Shibo."
Fang Jifan was thinking about it and called out that Shibo was he who took advantage of the emperor teacher. Or was he who took advantage of his Master Liu Jie. After thinking about it, he said straightforwardly: "Hello Shibo."
Wang Ao was happy: "Tomorrow, I will pay my respects. You will come to my house. You and I will have to come. If you don't come, I will be unhappy."
Fang Jifan had no choice but to agree.
Wang Ao stroked his beard and laughed.
Liu Jian and others saw it and said in their hearts that Fang Jifan was confused in his daily life, but he never thought that he would have helped Wang Ao this time. No wonder Wang Ao was so happy that he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, why didn't he report it himself?
Envy, jealousy, and hate.
Everyone arrived at the Warm Pavilion. Before Xu Jing and others arrived, Emperor Hongzhi was in high spirits. Looking at these consolidated ministers, he couldn't help but sigh that I had these people, and like Xu Jing and others, who endured the suffering that ordinary people could not bear. Why worry about the fact that the Ming Dynasty could not enter the prosperous world?
Especially after he looked at Zhu Houzhao, he smiled slightly at Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao said obediently: "Hello, Father."
"Okay, okay." Emperor Hongzhi was very happy. The prince's performance in Nanchang Prefecture also made him very pleased.
Seeing that Xu Jing and others did not come, Zhu Houzhao couldn't stop and saw that his father was particularly enthusiastic about him today, he became happy: "I heard that his father was going to allocate money and food from the treasury to go to the West. My son heard this and was happy. The father finally got enlightened..."
The smile on Emperor Hongzhi's face gradually disappeared.
This face was pulled down.
Originally, the matter of money was very taboo, especially the boxes of money were brought out from the warehouse, Emperor Hongzhi felt like a knife.
Emperor Hongzhi had no expression on his face and wanted to say something, but he finally swallowed it back.
As soon as Xiao Jing saw this, he knew His Majesty’s thoughts and said with a smile: “Your Majesty, then Xu Jing, I think he will be here soon.”
"Yes." Finally, I didn't have to pay attention to the prince, so as not to be angry. Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing meaningfully.
Zhu Houzhao was still silly. Lao Fang said that it was a good thing to pay out money from the treasury, so that the court would not be quarrel about building ships and voyages to the West. The silver was paid by the treasury. The officials and censors were like vultures, staring at the matter of voyages. Today, they scolded this and tomorrow, and what should we do about voyages?
Therefore, sometimes the father is still very wise and not completely foolish and incompetent.
But at this time, an eunuch came outside: "Your Majesty, the ambassador of the sea patrol, Xu Jingren, was waiting."
"Please come in." Emperor Hongzhi deliberately called the word "please".
Soon, Xu Jing, Zhang Heling and Zhou La came in and bowed: "I have seen Your Majesty...Long live my emperor."
As soon as these three people arrived, they immediately suffocated in the warm chalet.
Seeing these three years of hardships, their skin was so sunny that they were all over. Even if they were wearing new court uniforms, they were shocking to see their exposed skin. Compared with these new court uniforms, they felt very inconsistent. The hardships in the sea can be seen at a glance.
Emperor Hongzhi sighed very much: "Hey, it's really not easy, it's not easy, come, get up and give him a seat."
The eunuch hurriedly moved Jindun.
Liu Jian and others were also moved by it and felt moved in their hearts, and they felt admiration for Xu Jing.
Even Zhang Heling, who used to be like a rat crossing the street, was solemn in his heart.
Shouning Hou and the young master of the Zhang family have both grown up and can do their jobs.
Xu Jing sat down, and his eyes were immediately surfing in the warm pavilion with anxiety. Finally, his eyes fell on Fang Jifan.
In an instant, Xu Jing suddenly inhaled. It would be fine if he didn't. Looking at his taller and more handsome mentor, thousands of emotions and thoughts surged into his heart. Although Xu Jing tried hard to hold back the flood of emotions in front of the emperor, this emotion was still rushing out like the flooding river water that washed away the embankment.
His eyes suddenly turned red, and tears were covered in his eyes. In the blink of an eye, tears slid from the corners of his eyes. He hurriedly lowered his head, wiped his tears with his long sleeves, got up, sobbed, and bowed: "The student is back, my mentor... are you okay?"
The voice trembled and the emotions were no longer controlled.
So tears fell on the cold bricks and stones like rain curtains, and the hot tears seemed to melt the coldness.
The monarch and his subjects were silent.
Heaven, Earth, Lord, Parents and Teachers.
This is the norm.
Xu Jing has been going to sea for nearly three years and has suffered countless hardships and is almost invisible. Now that he suddenly sees his mentor, it is natural to act like this.
Everyone was just feeling and silent.
Fang Jifan was moved, Xu Jing, when he went there and came back, his mentor almost knew you, so he hurried forward: "Get up quickly, you can come back, my mentor is very happy. My mentor dreamed of you last night."
After hearing this, Xu Jing burst into tears and hugged Fang Jifan. Hot tears fell on Fang Jifan's shoulders: "It makes the teacher worry, the students are really dead. Many times, the students think they will never see their teacher again..."
"Don't cry, don't cry." Fang Jifan patted him on the shoulder.
I feel emotion in my heart.
Xu Jing is still very conscientious.
This is much better than Wang Shouren's bastard. When I came to study the book, my words were cold. At the beginning, I mean, Master, did you eat it? Did you eat it? Did you eat it? Is Fang Jifan the kind of person who doesn't eat it?
Xu Jing finally managed to restrain his emotions and a eunuch helped him sit down again.
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but burst into tears. It was such a touching scene. He couldn't help looking at Zhang Heling. This brother-in-law... has also become much thinner. He used to be skinny, but now he is foreskin.
Zhang Heling was embarrassed for a long time before he stood up obediently: "Your Majesty, I am guilty of death."
Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "You also know that you have the guilt of death. Do you know how sad it is to know that Queen Zhang knew that you were missing with your brothers."
When Zhang Heling heard this, he was stunned, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and was amused: "Oh. I'm scared to death. I thought that Your Majesty was going to pursue me..."
He suddenly realized that he could not say anything about the offender's edict, so he shut up immediately.
Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have noticed something and said sternly: "Why? You said that you can still let the past go without any blame when you explain it now."
"Your Majesty..." Zhang Heling had no choice but to say obediently: "Where is this me who died? I, together with His Highness, forged His Majesty's will and went out to sea with the ship..."
Zhu Houzhao's face was sallow.
He had long thought that this damn uncle was not a good thing, but... he didn't expect that this guy was so unfaithful, and turned around and sold himself.
"I also made a decision without authorization, forged the sacred order, and rewarded all the wealth of the accompanying soldiers to the soldiers. The countless gold and silver were all scattered, and even the court could get only 30% of it. I... It's a crime of death, a thousand deaths. I am noble and honest, but I regret not being encouraged by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I am sorry to Your Majesty, I am sorry..." Then I started howling.
“…”
Emperor Hongzhi looked sideways and looked at Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao was busy and hung his head, so he didn't dare to show off.
When Emperor Hongzhi saw Zhang Heling dying in grief, he thought to himself, it has been three years, so what else can I say? You are enough to worry about me, and I have dispersed all my wealth and rewarded the soldiers. What's wrong with this?
Emperor Hongzhi said: "If some gold and silver can boost the three armies, it is natural. Thank you for your hard work and reward your loyalty. Why not? Don't cry and get up and talk."
Zhang Heling shivered, looked up very carefully, and glanced at Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, if I give you something honestly, you... don't cut off my head."
Emperor Hongzhi looked kind and said: "But it's okay, don't worry, how can I want your head?"
Seeing Zhang Heling was pitiful, everyone said, "Shouning Hou has made contributions, so there is no need to be afraid."
"Yes." Wang Ao was in a particularly good mood. Although he looked down on Zhang Heling in the past, he couldn't help but say: "Marquis Shouning doesn't have to worry. You are all heroes of our Ming Dynasty."
Zhang Heling stammered: "The gold and silver, spices, and other jewelry that were rewarded, and the silver...the silver...the silver...the silver...the one hundred and fifteen million!"
“…”
