Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 503 Praise

  God...yeah, god...

  Shen Wen showed a bitter smile.

   "Then, I should enter the palace to thank you."

"this…"

  The **** seemed a little hesitant: "This is not right, Your Majesty is in Renshou Palace..."

   "As a minister, if you have received such a great favor from His Majesty, how can you not be grateful?" Shen Wen said eloquently,

   At this time, only His Majesty knows what news there is in Shanhaiguan.

   Now that Shen Wen has obtained this decree for no reason, he has mixed feelings in his heart. Knowing that this is His Majesty's deliberate kindness and comfort, then something serious must have happened to Shen Ao, and he has to find out quickly.

  So, without hesitation, he rushed into the palace to see you.

   Immediately, he went all the way to Renshou Palace, and in this Renshou Palace, the condition of the Empress Dowager got worse.

   At first she was still awake, but the Empress Dowager kept sighing and fell asleep again last night.

  Emperor Hongzhi tossed all night, feeling uneasy, which is why Emperor Hongzhi decided to give Shen Wen grace.

  The palace has been worrying about finding a princess.

Shen Wen's daughter is said to be good. Although she was not listed as a candidate for the show, but thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Shen Wen's son-in-law might not be able to come back alive. Emperor Hongzhi simply put this huge favor on Shen Wen. .

  Zhu Houzhao looked unhappy, but he didn't dare to resist, so he obediently accepted the arrangement of Emperor Hongzhi.

   After rewarding Shen Wen, there seems to be another thing on his mind.

Today, Emperor Hongzhi has gradually accepted the reality. He sat in the side hall, Zhu Houzhao was kneeling, and Empress Zhang stood sideways beside Emperor Hongzhi. Zhu Xiurong's eyes were red and swollen, and she sat bowed. Sad.

  Emperor Hongzhi stared blankly at Fangliang, he thought for a while: "Xiao Jing..."

  Xiao Jing hurriedly came out and bowed down: "The servant is here."

  Xiao Jing thought in his heart, this is not a good omen, he used to be called by his companions, but today, he is called Xiao Jing, he tried his best to squeeze out a smile, and bowed his knees.

  Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "I was thinking, Fang Jifan..."

  Thinking of Fang Jifan, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't hide his sadness: "I don't know what this person is like. I don't understand him. I usually see him, he is really lazy, but sometimes...he is like this..."

Xiao Jing said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, Xin Xin Boshi is a rare talent. The most important thing is that he is loyal to His Majesty, and the sun and the moon can learn from each other. What the servant said is the truth, and the servant should not say anything. In other words, there were misunderstandings and suspicions between the servant and him in the past, but the servant dared to say loudly in front of His Majesty that the loyalty of Uncle Xinjian was beyond the reach of all the people in the world, and even the servant was far away. No. Not only that, how many great things he has done for His Majesty in the court over the years, one by one, one by one..."

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

  Even Xiao Jing said this...this...it sounds right.

Emperor Hongzhi said with emotion: "Yes, it is too risky for him to save people now. It would be a pity if he lost something. I have been heartbroken for the past few days, but then I thought that I had forgotten my empathy. The Empress Dowager loves so much that she is in pain. Shen Ao went to save people. If an accident happened, wouldn't Shen Wen, who lost his son, send a white-haired man to a black-haired man? Wouldn't it be too sad? And Fang Jifan ...If Fang Jifan made a mistake, his father...yes, he still has a sister, don't they also feel distressed to the point where it cannot be added?"

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Shen Wen's daughter, I want her to enter the East Palace, Fang Jifan escaped death, how can I appease his relatives?"

   "This..." Xiao Jing hated it in his heart, the servant carefully thought about Fang Jifan, and if he told the truth, His Majesty refused to listen and blamed him. Now the servants are talking nonsense with their eyes open, but His Majesty believes it. Since His Majesty has already made up his mind, why do you ask?

  Xiao Jingdao: "Your Majesty may have forgotten, Ping Xihou, because of the matter of Milu, His Majesty has just warned."

   What he meant was that since Ping Xihou had already been reprimanded, at this time, stop thinking about giving rewards to appease him.

Emperor Hongzhi remained silent, and seemed to feel that Xiao Jing's words were not unreasonable, but he sighed: "Hey, what you said is not unreasonable, since that's the case, then it might as well be like this, Ping Xihou and his wife are very happy in Guizhou. Hard work. Fang Jifan's sister is..."

   "Fang Xiaofan."

  Zhu Houzhao immediately said: "Fang Jifan's Fang, Xiao Fang Jifan's Xiao, Fang Jifan's Fan..."

  Seeing Emperor Hongzhi glaring at him viciously, he quickly lowered his head again.

   "Send Fang Xiaofan to the palace to raise, this child..." Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Empress Zhang: "Come and take it with you in the palace."

  Empress Zhang pondered for a moment: "Xiu Rong and Hou Zhao are indeed grown up. There is not a single child in the palace. It is indeed deserted. Since His Majesty has an order, the concubine will naturally obey it."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and looked at Xiao Jing: "Xiao Banban is right. How can I ignore such a loyal and loyal person? Then...that's it, you go and read the will. Today, Fang Xiaofan will be carried into the palace. His parents, for the king's order, are thousands of miles away, and his elder brother... hey..."

  Emperor Hongzhi shook his head.

  Xiao Jing's face was a bit embarrassed. Actually, he didn't have much opinion about it, but he was just a child. He could only say that this child is blessed. But what he couldn't accept was that he was also the chief **** of the Supervisor of Rituals and the owner of Dongchang. Fang Jifan was obviously his enemy, but his enemy, because of him, became the holy family Yilong, as an **** First of all, Xiao Jing couldn't accept such a setback.

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "Empress Dowager, it seems that it will not be done. This is God's will. It is hard to violate God's will. At this time, those who are descendants should prepare as soon as possible. Order the British public Zhang Mao to go to Emperor Yingzong's mausoleum to supervise the construction. Well, the matter of the mausoleum must not be neglected, as for the others..."

  Empress Zhang couldn't help saying: "It's not time for the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty must not..."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head, his eyes were moist: "I and the empress dowager have such a deep love. Without her, there would be no me, but in the world, there are always joys and sorrows, which no one can escape. Now, I see her old man is gone." It's because the oil is exhausted, and as a grandson, I can't be filial. Therefore, the specifications of this mausoleum need to be planned in advance. In the underground palace of Yuling, the sleeping hall has already been prepared. As for the other Minglou, Xiangdian, sacrificial hall, The gate tower needs to be repaired again. The coffin should be prepared early. Let the Ministry of Industry speed up the construction period, and the coffin should not be parked in the shrine for too long. Emperor Yingzong died early, and his grandmother needs to be buried with him... probably... something Just do it."

  He didn't say anything more, and everyone fell silent.

  But an **** hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, Shen Wen, a Hanlin scholar, is asking to see you..."

   "Let him go back."

  Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "I haven't seen anyone these days."

  ………

Da da da…

  Four fast horses rushed into Beijing.

  During this journey, Fang Jifan suffered a lot.

   But Shen Ao, Zhou La and Yang Biao, although their faces were a little tired, they were still in good spirits.

  Shen Ao had suffered enough in Xishan, all these hardships were nothing to him. Yang Biao was originally a refugee, and it was nothing. Even Zhou La, who likes hunting, is used to it.

  Fang Jifan was panting heavily, thinking in his heart that he should exercise hard, otherwise, if this continues, how to be a teacher is very good, and he will exercise every morning for a stick of incense every morning.

   After entering the capital, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't stop his horse and continued to ride into the palace.

Shen Ao, Zhou La and the others hurriedly followed, and the four of them ostentatiously crossed the market. Because they walked in a hurry, they inevitably smashed into the stalls along the way, but Fang Jifan didn't stop there. Some people wanted to argue, but they were held back: Did the person in front wear a golden belt around his waist? In this world, how many young people are there who can wear a golden belt around their waists?"

   All of a sudden... the world is quiet.

The people of the capital are kind, and they are always surprisingly tolerant towards young people, even if they are facing the back of the arrogant king and grandson who knocked down their stall, knowing that the other party can't look back, they still try their best Some of them showed a smile, beaming, like a New Year's Eve.

  ...

  Beyond the Meridian Gate.

   Shen Wenchang knelt here.

  His hands were holding the decree of grace, and his heart was in pain. His son... really committed a crime. In the past few years, he hasn't had a good day.

  Knowing this earlier, I would rather him hang out in Nanjing, even if he is a fool for the rest of his life, why not?

  The son does not live up to expectations, but at least he is still alive, and he can still stay behind. There is still a grandson. If you take ten thousand steps back, even if you don’t make a grandson, don’t you have a great-grandson?

  And now... Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, as if, besides tossing, it was all tossing.

  Looking for a child to become a dragon... It is so difficult to hope for a child to become a dragon, so that it has to pay such a huge price.

   There is also Fang Jifan, with so many disciples and grandchildren, does this old man have any grudges against you? I don’t choose anyone, but I choose Shen Ao, Shen Ao, a silly boy...

  He felt disappointed, but he had nothing to say.

  After all... what Shen Ao did was a serious thing, and Fang Jifan didn't take him to steal things.

  He knelt here, and continued to ask the **** to go in to report that today... No matter what, he must see His Majesty, and get some news from His Majesty.

  Behind him, there was the sound of horseshoes.

  Walking horses in the palace is a violation of the rules. Although the Meridian Gate does not belong to the Forbidden City, it is already on the edge of the Forbidden City after all. Those who dare to ride horses here must be courageous.

   Shen Wen was upset, but he couldn't care less about it. For him, no matter what happened, it didn't mean much.

   But behind him, someone suddenly yelled at him: "Dad..."

  Shen Wen was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously turned around.

   This voice is too familiar, but the person who came here is even more familiar. He knew him even when he turned into ashes... Shen Ao!
