Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1434 Yellow River water...clear

  Zhu Houzhao heard it, blinked, was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled.

  He believed in Fang Jifan, and Fang Jifan told himself not to be in a hurry, so there was no rush.

but…

  As soon as Fang Jifan asked him to quickly find a way to mass-produce new drugs, Zhu Houzhao felt melancholy again.

  Now, what the research has is silver. After all, it’s on the market, so many people waved the silver and sent it.

   However, mass production is required, and large-scale mass production must be achieved, but there are many difficulties in it, which Zhu Houzhao must overcome.

   This is where Zhu Houzhao is helpless.

  This is different from knitting sweaters.

  The road of science is always one difficulty after another. After turning over a hill, there will be a new mountain waiting for you.

  Zhu Houzhao curled his lips, but responded: "Soon!"

  …

  The third day.

   The debate continues.

   This time, the Imperial Academy was even more overcrowded.

   After all, the last debate has whetted everyone's appetite.

  Wang Zuo's high-spirited speech won the applause and approval of countless people.

   After all, he is a man of high moral character and full of knowledge.

  Even new learners have to admit this.

  As for Li Chaowen...

  His performance is really worthy of the name of a real person.

  In the past, everyone respected this real person, but now they despise him a little more.

  Emperor Hongzhi got up early in the morning, looking worried. Before the debate began, Emperor Hongzhi summoned Wang Zuo and Fang Jifan to have an audience.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked very tired, with dark bags under his eyes, obviously he hadn't slept all night.

   First glanced at Wang Zuo, then at Fang Jifan.

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed, and said: "You two gentlemen don't need to be polite, come and give me a seat."

  Wang Zuo nodded.

  Fang Jifan is already seated.

  Wang Zuo and Fang Jifan don't look at each other, they treat each other as air.

  Emperor Hongzhi immediately said: "Wang Qing's family, I have heard about your name for a long time, how are you doing in Nanjing?"

  Wang Zuo sounded like Hong Zhong said: "Your Majesty, it is acceptable."

  Emperor Hongzhi asked the case, and said indifferently: "Are you dissatisfied with me?"

  Wang Zuo heard this, and immediately stood up and bowed down, saying: "Why did your Majesty say this? Your Majesty will not abandon you, and you will show your position. The holy grace is mighty. The minister admires your kindness, but it is too late to repay him. Why are you dissatisfied?"

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Then, why did Wang Qing's family fight against me so many times?"

  Emperor Hongzhi has spoken thoroughly. I am the emperor and you are a subject. Then why did you come to tear down my platform?

  Wang Zuo said solemnly: "This is for the sake of the country, Your Majesty, have you forgotten what happened during the Chenghua period? I have received His Majesty's grace, and if someone deceives the Emperor, there is no reason to keep silent, Your Majesty..."

When Wang Zuo said this, his eyes turned red, and he said with a bit of grief: "I have heard many things in Nanjing. Your majesty has changed his course and wants to implement a new system. How dare you ask your majesty, is the ancestral law useless? In Jiangnan , Many scholars were destroyed because of His Majesty's new system. After ten years of cold windows, there is no hope for the imperial examination. Those who are dissatisfied are like crucian carp crossing the river. What I am worried about is that if this continues, these scholars will be Dry firewood everywhere, if there are sparks, it will be a raging fire. Your Majesty, the one who is going to be burned in this fire is none other than Your Majesty. Nowadays, the world is full of luxury, and scholars have no place to get involved. Level, my minister is not talented, this time I entered Beijing, it is called a debate, it is really for the sake of the country, I hope to persuade His Majesty, please think twice about everything, and do not rush into anything, it is related to the fate of countless people, is it How can the future of tens of thousands of people be based on your majesty's thought, because the Duke of Qi and others are closer to your majesty, so your majesty can promise you everything?"

   After finishing speaking, he kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice."

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned, looking melancholy. He could see that Wang Zuo was a loyal minister, and there was nothing wrong with it.

   This is the difficulty of being the Son of Heaven.

  Sometimes, he knows that one thing is right, but there are always people who stop him, and those who stop him, it doesn't matter if they are traitors, but these people are just loyal people.

  Even the lord of a country has a lot of helplessness!

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan at this time.

  Fang Jifan blinked with an innocent face.

  Emperor Hongzhi pulled his face down.

   It seems to be saying, it’s not that you are useless, and that Li Chaowen is such a big joke, otherwise why would I pull my face and beg for help.

   But you, Fang Jifan, have no sense of shame.

  Emperor Hongzhi tilted his head slightly, then stared at Wang Zuo: "Leave these aside."

  Wang Zuo's heart went cold.

   Regardless of why, this is a big deal.

  Emperor Hongzhi said again: "I just want to ask you, today's discussion, can the Qing family forgive Li Chaowen?"

  Wang Zuo suddenly became heartbroken, paused, and said: "I... dare not obey the imperial edict."

  Emperor Hongzhi's face was a little more severe, giving people an invisible oppression: "Aren't you afraid that I will deal with you?"

  Obviously Wang Zuo is a gentleman who is not afraid of power, and he said solemnly without hesitation: "I have prepared for the worst."

  Emperor Hongzhi pursed his lips, and then said: "You think you are right, but you are actually wrong."

   "If it is wrong." Wang Zuo said stubbornly: "I will pay the price."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked straight at Wang Zuo and remained silent for a long time.

  Then, he waved his hand: "Your Majesty, please step back."

  …

  Fang Jifan and Wang Zuo withdrew from Fengtian Temple.

  Fang Jifan then said: "Wang Butang, just now..."

  Wang Zuo snorted coldly, with a look of disdain, his eyes full of contempt.

   Then, he said lightly: "Duke Qi, please do it yourself."

  Fang Jifan is not the kind of person who is willing to be angry. He thinks this person is very annoying, so he lost his temper: "I said this to you."

Wang Zuo smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, but showed mockery: "Really? Then today we want to expose the unspeakable affair between Duke Qi and Daoren Li, and let everyone in the world know what it means to be in collusion and collusion. Isn't it enough that you are messing up the country?"

  Fang Jifan: "..."

   Disaster for the country...

  Is it such a big hat?

  Fang Jifan was very happy.

   "Do you know why I didn't kill you?"

   This time it was Wang Zuo's turn to be silent.

  Fang Jifan twitched the corner of his mouth, showing a sneer, and said: "Because you don't need to kill you, and you don't even want to win my nephew in a debate."

   After finishing speaking, Fang Jifan walked away with his hands behind his back.

  Wang Zuoqi's face turned purple.

   This Duke of Qi... is really... dying, and he still doesn't know it.

  It is really abominable that this person is so domineering.

   When Wang Zuo arrived at the Imperial Academy.

  But found that both Fang Jifan and Li Chaowen had arrived.

  When the Hanlins saw the Duke of Qi, they behaved a lot better.

  Fang Jifan sat at the head, and the rest knelt and sat on the left and right.

  Shen Wen is a scholar of the Hanlin University, but his status is lower than Fang Jifan, so he had to sit beside him.

  The rest of the kings are not officials and others, all of them are silent.

   But more people, although sullen and serious, actually have a bit of fun in their hearts.

  Li Chaowen and his uncle looked at each other, but saw his uncle raised his feet, and Shi Shiran was holding a teacup to watch the fun, and his mood was very complicated.

  Wang Zuo took his seat, only greeted Shen Wen and others, and then looked at Li Chaowen.

  His face was cold.

   "Li Chaowen!" He called Li Chaowen by his name.

   Li Chaowen said: "The imperial court bestowed on me a real person."

  Wang Zuo looked at Li Chaowen with sarcasm and said, "Are you also worthy of being a real person? It just so happens that your uncle Fang Jifan is here today. I want to ask, is your uncle Fang Jifan instigated what you said?"

  Li Chaowen seemed magnanimous, did not pursue his rudeness, shook his head calmly and said: "This is God's will."

   "It's your so-called Ziweixing and Huang Heqing's set again?"

  Li Chaowen said calmly: "This is God's will."

   "A gentleman respects ghosts and gods and stays away...you don't understand the truth."

   "A poor man is a man from outside the country...not a gentleman."

   "..."

  …

  At this time, a letter was urgently sent to the palace.

  Emperor Hongzhi opened it and was stunned.

   He never expected, uh...

  Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing, and couldn't help but said: "Xiao Banban, come and see, this is really God's will..."

   Xiao Jing knew that His Majesty had been gloomy for many days.

   But in this instant, His Majesty was smiling, very excited, something unusual happened.

  Xiao Jing immediately glanced at the memorial, and his legs suddenly became weak.

  Damn it...

  The water of the Yellow River...it is clear.

  Could it be...Could it be...Really...Is this really God's will?

   That's right, if it wasn't God's will, how could the water of the Yellow River be clear?

  Xiao Jing was both shocked and terrified.

  It's terrible, this is true providence.

  Even the calm Xiao Jing couldn't help saying hysterically at this moment: "Your Majesty... accept the destiny, this... this... the real Son of Heaven."

  Emperor Hongzhi's breathing was rapid, but he was actually a little dazed.

  In fact, Emperor Hongzhi really couldn't understand how the water of the Yellow River could be cleared.

  But there is one thing that can prove that Fang Jifan is absolutely incapable of making the muddy water of the Yellow River clear.

  Then the only reason is... that Li Zhenren is really a master of Taoism, a real god.

  Emperor Hongzhi received the memorial, and immediately felt that he was full of energy and vigorous.

  Even if he didn't sleep all night last night, his eyes were very bright at this time, and he said seriously, "Where are Fang Jifan and the others?"

  Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "In the Imperial Academy."

  Emperor Hongzhi cheered up and said: "Let's go, follow me to the Imperial Academy immediately. Hmph... this discussion on Daoism is over, then Wang Zuo, the left one is the country, and the right one is loyal. I want to let him see it in person!"

   "Slaves...obey the order."

   At this moment, Xiao Jing didn't hesitate at all.

  He was still in shock, and countless thoughts flashed through his poor mind.

   It's really scary, so scary.

   Unexpectedly...unexpectedly...the water of the Yellow River is really clear.

  Is there such a miracle in the world?

  ...

  The update will gradually resume today. I have been running around for the past few days, and I am too tired. Thank you for your understanding.
