Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1417 Fenghou is not my will

  Emperor Hongzhi bowed his head and took a sip of tea. Fang Jifan's short sentence had already explained the problem thoroughly.

  If you listen to him continue to explain, it will be meaningless.

  Everyone has their own position.

  This has nothing to do with character, nothing to do with morality.

  Emperor Hongzhi naturally didn't need to describe the people who stood on the opposite side of him, those gentlemen and scholars, as terrible monsters, or as morally bankrupt.

  Emperor Hongzhi gave Fang Jifan a meaningful look before speaking.

"Tianjin Wei received the express report, saying that the large-scale Golden Continent fleet will return in the near future. Their first fleet has arrived. This time, your disciple Xu Jing has also returned, and there is one more person, Nai Liu Qing's family thought about it day and night. Of course, I haven't informed Liu Qing's family yet. Hey...his son has been wandering abroad for so many years. If he knew, how happy he would be when his son returned to the voyage this time. "

  Fang Jifan looked very surprised, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked in surprise, "Why did Xu Jing return to the voyage?"

  Emperor Hongzhi glared at him, and retorted slightly displeased.

   "Are you leaving them overseas forever?"

  Fang Jifan shrugged helplessly, then waved to Emperor Hongzhi.

   "I don't mean that, what I mean is... In the Golden Continent, the Spaniards have not been cut off, and the fleet returns, I'm afraid..."

  Emperor Hongzhi did not agree with Fang Jifan's statement, and continued to sip his tea with lowered eyes, and continued.

"In the report, I didn't go into details. It said what kind of gift was brought, and what else... In short, it was all vague. This time, you go to Tianjin Wei to meet you. You two, master and apprentice, can meet again. Order Xu Jing to come and see you."

  Fang Jifan nodded: "I obey the order."

  Emperor Hongzhi chuckled, glanced at Fang Jifan, and said leisurely.

"Xishan Pharmaceutical, what's going on now? I think the stock price is good. It's been rising all the time. In terms of business, don't lose the chain. Now, I miss Liu Wenshan more and more. Among your disciples, you are an outstanding one. , in my opinion, Ouyang Zhi should be the first, Liu Wenshan should be the second, and the rest are also good."

  Fang Jifan gritted his teeth in his heart, what, my family's Wang Shouren, Tang Yin, and Xu Jing are so powerful, they are only good?

   Your Majesty is crazy about stock speculation.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "He is still in Xiyang, let's call him back to Beijing. I want to have a long talk with him. Anyway, in Xiyang, the Daming banknotes have been implemented. From their reports, Siyang Commercial Bank took this Opportunities are expanding, and many cities have offices of commercial firms and money houses, and my Ming Dynasty has exchanged with other countries, which has generated a lot of benefits."

  Emperor Hongzhi said, waved his hand, and explained

   "Has Zhengqing arrived in Jiaozhi? I don't know how his military training is going. I dreamed of him a few days ago. His skinny appearance is really cute. I'm afraid he will suffer outside."

   As he spoke, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes turned slightly red.

  Fang Jifan couldn't help comforting Emperor Hongzhi.

"Your Majesty, Jiaozhi is a good place. How can you lose weight? The dream is reversed. Maybe Zhengqing is getting fat. Don't worry, Your Majesty. This child should be sharpened outside. Otherwise, I am worried that he will be worthless. It's an insult to the lintel, besides, his younger siblings are about to be born..."

  As the saying goes, children and grandchildren are all intergenerational relatives.

  Looking at Fang Jifan's heartless look, there is really no difference between Zhu Houzhao's treatment of the emperor and grandson.

  Emperor Hongzhi turned cold and said sharply, "Get out."

   "Oh, my son is leaving."

  Fang Jifan dared to talk nonsense, saluted in a hurry, and fled.

  ...

  Emperor Hongzhi's face softened slightly.

  He leaned on the imperial chair, looking angry: "Look at what Fang Jifan is talking about, the tiger's poison doesn't even eat its eggs."

  Xiao Jing stood aside, expressionless.

  Emperor Hongzhi raised his head and looked at Xiao Jing with a puzzled expression: "Why don't you speak?"

  Xiao Jing thought for a while, and said calmly: "This is His Majesty's family matter, and this servant has nothing to say."

  Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly and said through his nostrils: "Parents in the world are not so cruel."

  Xiao Jing: "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi saw that he had a strange look on his face, and his face sank, and he asked very seriously: "What do you want to say this time?"

   "The servant's parents are much more cruel than Duke Qi." Xiao Jing said peacefully.

  Emperor Hongzhi calmed down after thinking about it.

Yes.

   I am afraid of comparison in everything.

   Such a comparison.

  Fang Jifan seems to be a bit of a father.

   Isn't it completely heartless.

   "At Jiaozhi, let me keep an eye on him. I'm always worried about Zhengqing, his kid... hey."

   "The servant knows." Xiao Jing nodded: "Actually, the servant has already sent someone there."

   "Huh?" Emperor Hongzhi didn't expect Xiao Jing to be prepared.

  Xiao Jing said indifferently: "Privately, the emperor asked the slaves many times about Fang Zhengqing's recent situation, so the slaves made some arrangements."

   "That's good." Emperor Hongzhi sighed, "Zai Mo is the only cousin in this world."

  Perhaps because of getting older, Emperor Hongzhi cared more and more about the juniors, Xiao Jing was used to it, and just nodded slightly towards Emperor Hongzhi.

  Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes slightly, leaned deeply on the imperial chair, and missed his nephew.

  ...

  The mighty fleet has passed through the Tsushima Strait.

  This time, the fleet returned from the Pacific Ocean.

They traveled westward along the route opened up by the Zhang brothers, and finally arrived at the country of Wa. Then, they carried out supplies in the country of Wa. The people of the country of Wa were very kind and welcomed the fleet. The shogunate tried their best to arrange supplies. The thousands of sailors who were in trouble stayed in the Wa country for a few days and spent a few unforgettable nights. Afterwards, they regrouped and continued westward.

   "It's almost there, don't worry."

On the scum of the world Wang Bushi, the permanent flagship of the Daming Navy, in the cabin, Xu Jing was wearing a cloak with a tired face. He sat on the edge of the couch, and then patted the hand of the person on the couch. .

  The person on the couch is dying.

  He is Liu Jie.

   More than half a year ago.

  A battle broke out thirty miles north of Xinjin. As a vanguard, Liu Jie was attacked by the Spaniards and was shot in many places. The terrible bullets still remain in his body.

Because of the backward level of medical treatment, some medical students in Huangjinzhou took seven or eight bullets from his body, but one bullet was only a tiny bit away from Liu Jie's heart, and the medical students did not dare to operate rashly. .

  The wound is continuously suppurating.

  This time, without hesitation, Xu Jing decided to bring Liu Jie back to Daming. If he can survive, maybe... in Daming, there is a way.

  Liu Jie is already on the front line of life and death.

  He had recurring and persistent fevers.

  The wound festered more and more.

  The usual medicines can no longer be suppressed.

  Most of the time, he was groggy and unconscious.

  Xu Jing looked at the pale and bloodless Liu Jie, feeling a little distressed.

  The entire nephew and nephew, without any trace of the coquettishness and arrogance of the son of the first minister of the cabinet, has gone deep into the enemy's territory countless times, overcoming obstacles time and time again.

  Liu Jie's body moved slightly, and he slightly opened his eyelids. The eyelids opened, and the pupils that were almost dilated did not have the slightest expression.

  He continued, coughing desperately, and then, his blue lips trembled slightly, and let out a sound: "Master...Master...I don't think I can see my father..."

  His voice is very soft, very soft.

   So much so that Xu Jing had to bow his body, with his ears attached to his lips, so that he could barely hear.

"There is also Master... I can't hold it anymore, I am so tired, I am so tired, I have no strength in my body, but... But... Master's great rule of the world... Did the great rule of the world start with me... Future generations, you can see ?"

   "You have to live well and persevere." Xu Jing held his hand, tears fell drop by drop, and fell on Liu Jie's face.

  Liu Jie is not young anymore.

  But his words and deeds, in the eyes of outsiders, are so naive and naive.

But... Only people like Xu Jing understand that this is not naive and childish. In this world, there is a kind of person who never thinks about himself, no matter how dirty the world is, no matter how ugly the human nature is, no matter how muddy the world is , still maintains a heart of gold.

  Xu Jing stared at the dying Liu Jie in front of him, tears could not stop falling, he held Liu Jie's hands tightly, giving him strength and confidence.

   "You want to live, did you hear? It's almost here, I can already smell the breath of my hometown Nigu, there will be a way, you have to live!"

  The third chapter is delivered.
