Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 38 Do whatever you want

Fang Jifan looked at the high wall on the side, the lush trees in the high wall, and the pavilions and pavilions that complemented the trees, and naturally knew that the East Palace had arrived, and the row in front of him saluted him. It must be Lieutenant Habayashi Wei, who is here to wait for him, the chief banner officer.

   "Oh, hello." Fang Jifan smiled at them as a greeting: "I still have something to do, next time I'm free..."

   "Master Zongqi..." Fang Jifan was about to run away, but a school lieutenant stood up and said, "Your Highness has just ordered that if your lord comes, please go and see him, so..."

"That's right." Liu Qian said with a smile beside him: "Your Majesty also has orders, young master must obediently work here today, otherwise the slaves will have to follow orders and tie young master into Zhan's mansion. "

  Fang Jifan took a deep breath, it seemed that there was really nowhere to escape, instead he smiled and said: "It was just a joke, let's go, go to work."

  Led by Liu Qian all the way, he entered the East Palace, surrounded by lush camphor trees, with countless pavilions looming, facing him, he saw a group of eunuchs walking towards him, surrounded by a young man.

   This person is not Zhu Houzhao, who is it?

  Zhu Houzhao was yelling arrogantly: "Fang Jifan is here? Where is it?" With a slight glance, he saw Liu Qian leading Fang Jifan.

  Zhu Houzhao's face was pulled down, his face twitched, and there was still a welt on his neck that hadn't healed. When he saw Fang Jifan, he immediately felt a burning pain at the welt.

  He walked forward quickly, arrived in front of Fang Jifan, and then stared at Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jifan did not hesitate, and immediately bowed and saluted: "Humble Xia Jifan, I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

  Zhu Houzhao immediately bared his teeth, and looked at Fang Jifan viciously. Last night, he was so painful that he didn't sleep for half the night, and he had already made up his mind.

  Zhu Houzhao said: "Fang Jifan, do you still remember me?"

   This voice seemed to come from hell, extraordinarily deep.

  Liu Qian was not in a hurry to go back to the palace to pay the edict, but stood by, ready to watch the excitement.

  Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty is imposing, even if you are humble when you are turned into ashes. Not only that, but you have been known to Your Highness for a long time, and I have always yearned for him."

   "..." Zhu Houzhao had actually prepared the "sword and ax hand" a long time ago, and just waiting for the order, the eunuchs and guards behind rushed up to beat Fang Jifan first.

   But Fang Jifan's words have been famous for a long time, and it seems that there is something in his words: "Heh..." Zhu Houzhao sneered again and again: "What has been famous for a long time, are you afraid of being beaten?"

   But how did he know that Fang Jifan was secretly laughing in his heart, Prince Zhu Houzhao, just a young child!

   Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao, I have already studied you thoroughly in the reading library.

He was serious, with a look of admiration on his face, and said: "Your highness really admires you very much. Your highness is very human. You have always known that your highness has powerful fists and feet. You have millions of soldiers in your belly. You are very clever. Not only that, but you are also good at riding. The art of archery, I have looked at the past and the present, how many princes have been born in the past and present, but which one is half as good as His Royal Highness, in fact, I have a little knowledge of the art of observing people..."

  Zhu Houzhao originally came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, and he was filled with anger, but now he heard it, and his face softened slightly.

   This guy actually knows that he has learned boxing from the guards, and that Bengong is proficient in riding and shooting? Do you know that I am proficient in the art of war?

  You must know that for the imperial court, it is not a glorious thing for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to have this hobby, and Zhu Houzhao was also strictly ordered to do his job properly, so people who know these things are rare.

   But Fang Jifan knew it. Not only did Fang Jifan know that Zhu Houzhao, a wonderful man, liked to ride and shoot. In history, after the crown prince ascended the throne, he even made himself a general, and every now and then he secretly went outside the customs to be a general and command the army to fight.

  But for Zhu Houzhao, it was a different matter. Fang Jifan actually knew about such a secret. Could it be that this guy really pays attention to Bengong and also really admires Bengong?

  Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes, sizing up Fang Jifan: "Look at people, who are you looking at..."

  Fang Jifan calmed down, and took the time to say: "Your Highness is a martial artist who descends to earth. In the future, he will definitely sweep the desert, so that the barbarians dare not go south to herd horses."

  Sweeping across the desert...

  Zhu Houzhao was taken aback for a second, and had to say that Fang Jifan's words hit Zhu Houzhao's heart directly.

In the East Palace, Zhu Houzhao secretly learned riding and archery. He even drank goat milk like the barbarians and ate meat like them, so that one day he would be able to personally lead the army and follow the example of his ancestor, Emperor Wen, to sweep across the border. barbarians.

  Fang Jifan's words touched his heart, and he felt very comfortable. His face softened a lot, and he said, "You can see that too?"

  Fang Jifan patted his chest: "Your Highness has admired His Highness for a long time, and I have long wanted to follow His Highness. One day, I will sweep the world, how can I not see it?"

  Zhu Houzhao is a young man after all, although his anger has not dissipated, but now curiosity has occupied his heart, he squinted: "So, you also understand military strategy?"

  Fang Jifan smiled: "Ashamed, ashamed, I understand a little bit, of course, I can't compare with your highness, your highness is brave."

Flattery is worthless, anyway, Fang Jifan's personality has collapsed a long time ago, and everyone in the capital knows that he is a notorious prodigal son, so Fang Jifan doesn't feel any regrets when he does something that has no limit. Focus: "Your Highness, why don't we take a step to talk?"

   Zhu Houzhao looked suspicious: "What do you want to say?"

   Seeing Fang Jifan laughing wildly, Zhu Houzhao put his hands behind his back, pretending to be dignified, but after all, he was no match for curiosity. Fang Jifan made a gesture of invitation to him, and Zhu Houzhao subconsciously raised his leg.

He and Fang Jifan walked into the nearby flower garden one after the other. Zhu Houzhao suddenly remembered something, and said through gritted teeth: "Fang Jifan, you have hurt me like this, I still can't be angry. If you don't beat you, I won't beat you for nothing." suffered..."

  In the middle of speaking, Fang Jifan took out a stack of thick things lightly from his sleeve.

  Zhu Houzhao took a closer look and was startled.

   These are Daming banknotes, all with a denomination of five hundred taels, and they are extremely brand new. There are hundreds of them in this thick stack.

Fang Jifan smiled: "Your Highness, it's the first time we meet formally. It's just a small matter. These treasure notes are roughly one or two thousand taels, but the treasure bills are not worth much. When exchanged for cash, they are only tens of thousands of taels. A small meaning is not a respect."

  Zhu Houzhao's eyes straightened.

   This shot is worth tens of thousands of taels of real gold and silver!

Even though Zhu Houzhao was the crown prince, Emperor Hongzhi was very strict about Zhu Houzhao's monthly bills. Usually, the monthly expenses of the East Palace were really spent on Zhu Houzhao, but it was only a few hundred taels a month. Fang Jifan was extravagant , Zhu Houzhao's face became a little stiff: "For me?"

  Fang Jifan said with a smile: "I am a man of loyalty, money is something outside of the body, women are like clothes, righteousness is the first word, what is money? What's more... what is the relationship between humbleness and Your Highness..."

   The dumbfounded Zhu Houzhao was a little dazed, and subconsciously asked: "Is... what's the relationship?"

Fang Jifan raised his eyebrows, he really has the money to push him. In fact, when he came, he knew that he would not be able to avoid it, and he had already weighed it in his heart. At this time, the crown prince must be far less shameless than after he ascended the throne. Since the prince still has a sense of shame, and the Emperor Hongzhi has always advocated frugality, in history, this Emperor Hongzhi practiced himself, and even ordered that Empress Zhang in the harem weave cloth to solve the problem of dressing in the palace .

   An emperor who is so thrifty, even the empress weaves in the harem, this crown prince must be in control financially, so...

  Hey, it’s so tiring to reason with such funny people!

   Let’s smash him to death with money!

  …

   Use tickets and rewards to smash the tiger to death.
