Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1487 My choice

  Emperor Hongzhi still has a lot to say.

  Jiang Yan's incident left a deep impression on him.

  Just glanced at Fang Jifan... My heart aches.

  Hands are hurt.

  So he said: "Jifan, you step back and go to the women's hospital to have a look."

   "Oh." Fang Jifan nodded like a chicken pecking rice, very well-behaved.

  Sneaking out of the palace, an **** escorted Fang Jifan to the women's hospital.

  Hearing that Qi Guogong was injured, the women's hospital was in an uproar.

   All the female disciples came to see her one after another, led by Liang Ruying.

  Fang Jifan's hand unconsciously began to turn and turn, and even when he raised it, he seemed to be stiff: "Ah... don't be polite, see a doctor, see a doctor."

  Liang Ruying's medical skills are the best. Please ask Fang Jifan to sit down first. She stares at Fang Jifan with a pair of colored contact lenses: "Mm... Master, but I don't know how this hand hurts."

  Fang Jifan sighed: "It's a long story, let's not talk about it."

  Liang Ruying felt worried. It seemed that this involved the sadness of her mentor, but she didn't know who was hurt by some young disciple.

   So Fang Jifan asked Fang Jifan to stretch out his arm, and carefully inspected it. After confirming that there was no external injury, it must be an internal injury.

  Fang Jifan was very uncomfortable, although the effect of force is mutual, but this hand is already great.

Liang Ruying gently kneaded Fang Jifan's palm and touched Fang Jifan's palm, feeling warm and comfortable. Liang Ruying said: "Men, I have been injured for a hundred days. My teacher has no external injuries. Maybe my bones are injured. My teacher must take care of it." Pay attention to your body, don't work hard, especially this wound, you need to be more careful, don't carry heavy objects, and take care of it on a daily basis."

  Fang Jifan nodded: "Understood."

  Liang Ruying frowned: "It's just that this is the first time I've seen this kind of injury. I don't know how to use the medicine. I'll wait for the disciple to read more medical books these days, and then find a cure."

  Fang Jifan came out of the palace, and all the officials had already dispersed. This time the shock was great, a large number of officials were dismissed, and the following Jingcha was also frightening.

   Therefore, many people are frowning.

   Zhu Houzhao and Ouyang Zhi waited outside the palace for a long time.

  Finally seeing Fang Jifan coming, Zhu Houzhao held a wrench in his hand, gritted his teeth impatiently, and said, "Why did you wait so long, old Fang, what kind of injury did you treat?"

  Fang Jifan's expression was a little unnatural, and he said awkwardly: "Seeing a doctor..."

  Zhu Houzhao said with concern: "Let me show you."

  Fang Jifan hurriedly waved his hands: "No need, no need, it's already much better."

  Zhu Houzhao turned his nostrils to the sky, snorted coldly and said: "Huh, I don't want to avoid medical treatment. Well, it's time for us to settle the score. You refused to take me to the palace yesterday. Do you have to..."

  Fang Jifan suddenly cheered up, and said seriously: "His Royal Highness, what do you think of the Beijing inspection that His Majesty said?"

  Zhu Houzhao was taken aback, looked at Fang Jifan, he was always easily distracted by Fang Jifan, thought for a while, and said, "Didn't you entrust this to Ouyang Zhi?"

Fang Jifan sighed: "This is also a matter of the Tian family, His Royal Highness, think about it, people like Jiang Yan harmed one side, and caused so much loss to my Ming Dynasty, but people were hurt by Jiang Yan, but they scolded Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince, and sooner or later, His Highness the Crown Prince will belong to this world. The so-called Jingcha is to put an end to the harm of people like Jiang Yan."

  Zhu Houzhao nodded thoughtfully, "That makes sense, Ouyang Qing's family..."

  Ouyang Zhi behind him didn't respond.

Fang Jifan has already waved his hand: "Your Majesty told Ouyang Zhi to handle this matter. Ouyang Zhi is a capable person, and I really appreciate it, but His Highness the Crown Prince is wise and powerful. For such a major event, the Crown Prince must come down to decide. "

  Zhu Houzhao was taken aback for a moment, and was amused, and said with a bit of pride: "It makes sense, what else?"

Fang Jifan then said: "Ouyang Zhi is my favorite student. The minister bluntly said that I treat him as my own son. But... because of this, His Majesty trusts Ouyang Zhi so much. Now this Jingcha is a great achievement. If such a great contribution is given to Ouyang Zhi, I will be overjoyed, but... people have sorrows and joys, and the moon has waxing and waning. I think about it carefully. , people must not be too perfect, Ouyang Zhi is still young, you can't let him take advantage of everything, the moon is full, you will lose, it is too good, it is easy to make people jealous."

  Zhu Houzhao felt a little dizzy being surrounded by Fang Jifan, and said in a daze: "The more I listen, the more confused I become, you continue to talk."

  Fang Jifan said conveniently: "Therefore, His Royal Highness is in charge, but who will come to the new regulations of Jingcha?"

  Zhu Houzhao subconsciously pointed at Fang Jifan': "You?"

  Fang Jifan shook his head: "Hey, I still want to live a few more years... No, I am afraid that I will not be able to handle it alone. Such a big event is related to the community. In my opinion, one must be invited out of the mountain."

   Zhu Houzhao asked in surprise, "Who?"

  Fang Jifan shouted loudly: "Liu Jin! My grandson!"

  Zhu Houzhao: "..."

   "He..." Zhu Houzhao clearly disagreed.

Fang Jifan then smiled and said: "Your Highness underestimates Liu Jin too much. Think about it, Liu Jin has served His Highness the Crown Prince for so many years. By His Highness's side, he has been fascinated by it. Even if he is a pig, he is also enlightened. His Highness the Crown Prince is wise and powerful." , can the people around you be bad?"

   There was nothing wrong with hearing these words, Zhu Houzhao immediately said happily: "It makes sense, it makes sense, Lao Fang, your words won my heart, and I will quickly transfer Liu Jin back to Beijing."

  Fang Jifan said with a smile: "He is from the East Palace, so of course it is up to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

  Zhu Houzhao became more confident when he heard the word call the shots: "Yes, I just make up my mind. This matter has been decided by me!"

  Zhu Houzhao suddenly touched his forehead, as if thinking of something important, he hurriedly said: "Oh, I was too busy talking to you, but I forgot that I haven't fertilized the test field today, let's go, let's go..."

   After saying that, he got into the car waiting for him in a hurry, and left.

  Ouyang Zhi: "..."

  Fang Jifan glanced at Ouyang Zhi, he was not in a hurry, and waited for Ouyang Zhi to slowly digest the conversation between himself and the prince.

   After a long time, Ouyang Zhi took a deep look at Fang Jifan, then bowed his head and said, "Teacher, is there something that the student did not do well enough that the teacher..."

Fang Jifan patted him on the shoulder: "You have done a good job. You are the most important thing for your mentor. This Beijing inspection is a big event. If you want to make it happen, it can't be done with your enthusiasm. You follow I have been studying for a long time, I have taught you the fundamentals of being a human being and the methods of doing things, but there is one more thing I forgot to teach you."

  Ouyang Zhi paused: "Please enlighten me, teacher."

"When you are in a high position and have great authority, and you want to implement a big policy, you will definitely offend the interests of many people. At this time... one thing you need to do is... pull people into the water, as long as they are not related to this matter, One who can be pulled into the water is one, prince, eunuch, harem, businessman, noble, man, woman, dog, one counts as one, don't just focus on doing things, don't wait until half done, look up and find yourself No friends."

  Ouyang Zhi frowned, trying very hard to digest Fang Jifan's words.

  Fang Jifan smiled and said: "If you want to be like a teacher, you will be friends everywhere. In this way, the matter will be more than half. Do you understand? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you don't understand now. Being a teacher is very urgent. Let's see you later."

   After finishing speaking, Fang Jifan boarded the car and left.

  Ouyang Zhi watched the carriage go further and further away.

  Suddenly, Ouyang Zhi shivered.

  The teacher's words are really good words.

I see…

  He couldn't help being moved, and only then did he realize that what his teacher did was to protect himself.

   What a major event the Beijing inspection is. Over the past dynasties, it has violated the interests of scholars. How many people have accomplished it? Even Wang Anshi couldn't do it, let alone others.

  He couldn't help bowing down, with gratitude in his eyes, and kowtowed towards the carriage going away.

  …

   At this time, Emperor Hongzhi was looking at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, pondering without saying a word.

  Chen Zhong, still sat opposite him uneasy.

   After a long time, Emperor Hongzhi finally said: "It's winter, but... this year's snow has not yet fallen. This year's winter is still warm."

  He suddenly smiled: "Sitting here must make you very uneasy."

  Chen Zhong suddenly stood up and bowed down, saying: "Your Majesty... is a good emperor."

"Good emperor, it depends on who it is." Emperor Hongzhi said: "In the past, I thought that the subjects of the world are one, but now I know that the subjects of the world are not only not one, but also have many contradictions. I stand on this side. If you offend the other side, if you stand on the other side, the people on that side will inevitably feel resentful."

  Chen Zhong half understood what he said.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "You seem to have something to say."

  Chen Zhong looked hesitant: "I... I... grassroots are dead, in fact... in fact..."

  Emperor Hongzhi's gentle expression: "You can say it, but it doesn't matter."

   "Actually... Cao Min has money. Last time, Duke Qi gave hundreds of taels of silver to Cao Min before leaving."

  Emperor Hongzhi was slightly moved.

  Chen Zhongdao: "With those hundreds of taels of silver, in fact, the nine taels of silver are nothing to the grassroots, but...the reason why the grassroots don't pay it is because...because...the same as your majesty."

   "Same as me..." Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback.

Chen Zhongdao: "It's also a question of which side to stand on. If the grass-minds hand over quickly, other people who are in the same situation as the grass-minds will have to point out behind the scenes when the grass-minds have set an example. The grass-minds have money to hand over, but They have no silver."

  Emperor Hongzhi understood.

  Chen Zhong didn't dare to set an example lightly, because if he did, he would be stabbed in the back.

  Emperor Hongzhi showed a trace of relief on his face, and said with a smile: "Even you, an old soldier, know how to make choices and know where you should stand, I... It's time to make your own choice."
