Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1407 Long Live My Emperor

   Just under this atmosphere of grief.

   But there was no expression on someone's face.

  Anhua King Zhu Zhiyu was standing with some clan relatives. At this time...everything has been planned, and it is time to meet Tu Qiongdagger.

  Many clan members stood by Zhu Zhixie's side, and they muttered in low voices.

  At this time, Fang Jifan's chariots and horses arrived. It was getting late, and Fang Jifan came neither early nor late.

  He got out of the carriage with his hands behind his back, and many people looked at him.

  Fang Jifan looked like no one else around, still so arrogant and domineering.

   This is in the eyes of others, so I thought in my heart, Qi Guogong, this bastard, really has eyes above the top, hum, this kind of person, who doesn't know the world, will suffer a big loss sooner or later!

  Fang Jifan was like no one else around.

   It was Zhu Zhiyu who suddenly said: "Hey, where is His Royal Highness?"

  Where there has always been Fang Jifan, there must be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

   What day is today?

   To put it bluntly, today is the day when His Majesty is about to go on a big trip and prepare to ask for help.

  His Majesty is seriously ill, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still missing.

   Normally it's fine, but at this time today, I still can't see anyone.

  Is this plausible?

   Sure enough...

  After being reminded by Zhu Zhiyu, many people looked around, but they did not see His Highness the Crown Prince at all.

   As a result, many people became more worried.

  His Royal Highness... this... this is too much.

  Your Majesty was like this when he was seriously ill. When he becomes the emperor, he still doesn't know what he will be like.

  Liu Jian and others sighed heavily...

  The prince disappointed them so much.

  Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Zhiyu, and responded: "Where is the prince, what does it have to do with you? Who are you?"

  Zhu Zhiyu: "..."

   Some of the clan members behind him were gnashing their teeth.

  Who is Zhu Zhixiong? He is a nobleman of Tianhuang, a descendant of Emperor Taizu Gao, you Fang Jifan, how dare you treat your clan like this.

  Zhu Zhiyu forced a smile, and said: "My king, Zhu Zhiyu, I don't think Duke Qi will recognize him."

  Fang Jifan's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Oh, Zhu Zhixiong, although I haven't heard of it, but... have you paid off your mortgage?"

  Have you paid off your mortgage?

  Mortgage loan…

  Those clan members who had been fighting high a second ago suddenly looked like deflated balloons, their eyes began to flutter, and their expressions were very unnatural.

  Zhu Zhiyu: "..."

Fang Jifan said with a displeased face: "I wanted to talk to you at first, but the Xishan Bank has rules, and it is a place where business is done according to one's own duties. You can't just give up because the princes want to, and you don't have to pay back the money owed. If you don't pay it back, you will close the house..."

  Fang Jifan was talking, but the Meridian Gate was open.

  Zhu Zhixie and the others were overwhelmed, it could be seen that Liu Jian and the others had already entered, and the rest of them filed in one after another.

   It seems that it is not worthwhile to have a conflict with Fang Jifan now, so he swallowed this breath.

  Zhu Zhiyu looked around again and confirmed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not here, and he was secretly happy.

  At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dared not come. This is not only disrespectful, but disloyal and filial.

   A group of people hurried into Fengtian Temple.

  In Fengtian Hall, a screen was set up to cover Emperor Hongzhi behind the screen.

  The ministers went in, only seeing the screen, but not the emperor, and their hearts sank.

   Xiao Jing stood in front of the screen, looking at the officials.

   All the ministers saluted one after another.

  Emperor Hongzhi did not make a sound.

   This is even more worrying.

  They could only vaguely see a figure behind the screen.

  Xiao Jing looked around, and said with a loud voice: "Your Majesty is sick, and it is inconvenient to see each other. I will obey His Majesty's oral instructions, and I love you all."

  Everyone just got up.

  Liu Jian's eyes became even redder, and he was about to shed tears.

  Xiao Jing asked in amazement: "Where is His Royal Highness?"

   Sure enough...

  The Lord is not here!

  Emperor Hongzhi behind the screen, although he was already holding Zhizhu, but when he heard that the prince had disappeared at this juncture, his expression sank slightly.

   "Qi Guogong..." Xiao Jing glanced at Fang Jifan: "I don't know Qi Guogong, but where is His Highness the Crown Prince?"

  Fang Jifan said: "I came from Xishan early in the morning, but I didn't see the prince. I want to come...the prince is coming."

   "Your Majesty!"

   Right now...

   Finally someone couldn't help it.

   is tolerable.

  What can't be tolerated!

  The one who stood up was Wang Hong, the head of the Ministry of Rites.

Wang Hong grieved and said: "Your Majesty, there has been no news from His Highness the Crown Prince for many days. The Crown Prince is the Crown Prince, and now His Majesty is seriously ill, but His Highness the Crown Prince only cares about playing. This is where the common people live. A prince should lead by example, but now...hey..."

   There was an uproar in the hall.

   Xiao Jing only looked at these ministers who were whispering coldly.

   His Majesty remained silent.

  He forced a dry smile: "I think, His Royal Highness is indeed delayed by something."

   "I don't know why Your Majesty summoned his ministers to wait here?" At this time, Zhu Zhiyu couldn't help being a little excited when he saw that the time had come.

  He knew their temperaments, when they scolded secretly, they were all furious, and when they came to the imperial court, they were all afraid to make a sound.

  It seems that I can only stand up and cheer everyone up first. Isn't now the best time?

  Xiao Jing was about to open his mouth to answer Zhu Zhixiu.

Zhu Zhiyu sneered in his heart, and said sternly: "I'm not asking about Eunuch Xiao, I'm asking about Your Majesty. Your Majesty... why didn't you show up when you summoned all the officials, but only let Eunuch Xiao here? Since Emperor Taizu Gao, I have never heard that the emperor called all the officials, but they met through a screen and did not say a word. Your Majesty is like this, which makes the minister very worried. I implore your majesty to remove the screen so that the minister can wait...no need to speculate in private. "

   "Guess what?"

  A voice came out faintly.

   This is the voice of Emperor Hongzhi.

  The sound is very soft.

   I don't know if it's because the owner of the voice is weak.

  Although Zhu Zhixiong had planned long ago, he knew that the emperor was seriously ill and would die soon, so he took the courage to hear the words of Emperor Hongzhi all of a sudden, but he was still shocked.

  So Zhu Zhizhen hurriedly said: "There are many rumors in the market, saying that His Majesty is seriously ill, and the subjects are very panic."

  Emperor Hongzhi's voice said: "A few days ago, I did feel unwell."

  Zhu Zhixie said: "I don't know, Your Majesty... Are you feeling better now?"

  Emperor Hongzhi's voice said: "Shang Ke!"

  The word Shang Ke made Zhu Zhixiu heave a sigh of relief.

  What he was most worried about was that His Majesty had no health problems. Although His Majesty said it was fine, it made him think that it was very likely that His Majesty was taboo about announcing his illness.

It also shows that His Majesty is already aware of the current dangerous situation, and he dare not announce the deterioration of his health to the public... His Majesty has already taken precautions against the clansmen. It was dealt with, why has there been no movement.

   Own plan...is successful.

  Although His Majesty is prepared to take precautions, there is nothing he can do about the current situation. He obviously had great concerns.

  Your Majesty... I'm afraid.
