Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 42 Put it to death and come back to life

  Emperor Hongzhi's expression remained unchanged.

  Yang Tinghe stood on one side, and he also had a straight face. In fact, he has no psychological burden. The prince has already taken sick leave four or five times. If I, Yang Tinghe, pampered you, I would be a sinner through the ages. As the prince's lecturer, he really has nothing to do with the prince. He can't beat or scold him, and he has to pay attention to the scale even if he puts on a bad face.

   After a while, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan came in cautiously.

  Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes, but saw Zhu Houzhao's innocent face.

  This guy doesn't care about the consequences when he does anything, but when it comes to settling accounts, he immediately looks pitiful, as if he has been greatly wronged.

  In the past, this trick was always effective. Even if it didn’t work, Empress Zhang would stand in front of Zhu Houzhao when she saw her son like this, making Emperor Hongzhi helpless.

  But this time, seeing Zhu Houzhao's pitiful appearance, instead of softening his heart, Emperor Hongzhi became even more angry.

   What's more, isn't Queen Zhang not here?

  He rolled his eyes and went to Fang Jifan again.

  Fang Jifan appeared to be more innocent than Zhu Houzhao. On this handsome face, his eyes were as clear as jewels. People who didn't know it thought that this guy had suffered some kind of innocent disaster.

  Fang Jifan blinked his eyes hard, in fact, he hoped to squeeze out a few crystal clear tears, you Mei, Zhu Houzhao's acting skills are too good, I have to look more innocent and wronged than him.

   But Fang Jifan found out badly that he was a bit out of touch with his morality, and the tears couldn't come out. He usually played too much as a rampant prodigal son, but now he has to pretend to be pitiful, and he really can't do it well.

  Emperor Hongzhi remained silent, just looking at the two of them coldly.

   This murderous look made people terrified.

  Fang Jifan is very down-to-earth, without saying a word: "I... Wanshi."

   Admit it, resistance has no future.

  When Zhu Houzhao saw Fang Jifan's admission of cowardice, he shouted in his heart, why didn't I think of it!

  His tears fell down like a tide, as if he had suffered an injustice: "I will die forever."

  In Emperor Hongzhi's eyes, there was only a cold light flashing, and he looked at the two with a sneer, as if he had made a special trip to see how the two performed.

  Minglun hall was eerily quiet.

  Yang Tinghe and the Hanlin on duty in Zhan Shifu who came after hearing the news all looked indifferent.

   To them, the crown prince is absurd, and Fang Jifan is the scum of scum.

   These two people have nothing good at all.

  Of course, it’s hard for everyone to say anything.

   But today, it's their bad luck.

  Emperor Hongzhi finally spoke, but what was really scary was that he didn't jump, but said in a flat tone: "Have you played enough chess? Do you want me to accompany you to the next game?"

  This understatement carries an endless chill.

  Zhu Houzhao felt that he couldn't get away with it, but tears fell down, which was an expression of sincerity and pretending to be dead.

Fang Jifan couldn't cry, and scolded Zhu Houzhao in his heart, you are a scumbag, you will die if you die, and you will pretend to be pitiful after you die, so he could only look trembling and said: "Your Majesty is wise and mighty, if you play chess, you can play chess. A hundred humble ministers are not your Majesty's opponents, if you don't dare to fight, you won't win!"

  Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

   It's a shameless time to be able to flatter so smoothly at this time.

  He remained silent, and looked at the two of them again, and saw that they had changed their clothes, and they were both wearing baggy clothes.

  Emperor Hongzhi's face was frosty, and he said coldly: "It's a cool autumn day, you are wearing so many clothes, is it cold?"

  Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said: "My son...is sick...the wind...the cold..."

  Emperor Hongzhi clapped the case: "Come here, take off the clothes of these two **** and have a look."

  Several eunuchs stepped forward and hesitantly undressed Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan. As soon as Fang Jifan unbuttoned his unicorn clothes, a thick jacket was exposed.

  The **** took off Fang Jifan's jacket, but unexpectedly there was another jacket inside.

  Fang Jifan was like an egg with half its shell peeled, desperate to die of grief and indignation. After the **** continued to take off Fang Jifan's jacket, the third jacket was still in sight, and it wasn't until he took off the fourth jacket that his thin inner garment was exposed.

  Yang Tinghe and the others stared straight at the eyes, and Zhu Houzhao was not much better. When he took off the fourth jacket, he heard a clang, and a thin steel plate fell to the ground.

  The belly of His Royal Highness is still covered with a layer of steel plate.

  Zhu Houzhao was thick-skinned, but he was fine.

  Fang Jifan rolled his eyes vigorously, cursing in his heart, Your Highness, we Fang Jifan regard you as a brother, yet you secretly put on a steel plate? So he glared at Zhu Houzhao.

  Zhu Houzhao finally bowed his head in shame. When he was wearing a jacket in the Eastern Palace, he had indeed secretly stuffed the steel plate into it, without telling Fang Jifan.

   No loyalty!

  Zhu Houzhao hesitated and said: "Father, please listen to my son's explanation. My son... my son... this steel plate, I think it is the **** who is serving... accidentally...maybe..."

   "Shut up!" With a snap, the imperial case was shot by Emperor Hongzhi with a loud noise.

   This time I was really angry.

  Emperor Hongzhi burst out suddenly, and broke out completely: "Stealing and playing tricks, messing around all day long, ignorant! Are you going to **** me off? Tell me, are you going to **** me off?"

"How can I treat you slowly? You are sick, and I dare not sleep all night. If you want to study, I have carefully selected so many great scholars for you. But what about you? What did you do? Your book , Where did I read it? I have placed all my hopes on you for so many years, and I don’t ask you to become a talent, but I ask you to be a successful person. What do you look like now? And you Fang Jifan, how did I ever I’ve neglected you, it’s fine for you to mess around, but you’re still messing around with the prince, you two, I’ve already understood, there’s no one good, come on!”

  The **** bowed tremblingly, waiting for His Majesty's will.

  The Hanlin officials of Zhan Shifu looked at the jackets that had been taken off one by one, and they seemed to be still immersed in shock, especially the steel plate wrapped in cotton cloth. This... I really don’t know how to describe it.

  Zhu Houzhao was terribly frightened.

  Fang Jifan was so scolded that he dared not look up.

  But as soon as he heard the word "commander", Fang Jifan understood that the disaster of doom was coming, His Majesty was furious, and it would be easy not to beat him half to death, so he hurriedly said: "Wait a minute!"

  The word wait and slow directly interrupted Emperor Hongzhi's words.

  Emperor Hongzhi blushed with anger, wait a minute...wait a minute...do you still dare to say wait a minute?

  Then everyone looked at Fang Jifan in silence. This guy still wants to quibble at this time? I just don't know how to write the word dead.

  Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "Wait what?"

  Fang Jifan tried his best to calm down, and then took the time to say: "Your Majesty, in fact... I think that His Royal Highness is not ignorant. Your Royal Highness, I am wronged!"

   wronged...

   This means that Yang Tinghe wronged you.

   What are you guys, don't others know?

  Emperor Hongzhi laughed back in anger: "It's wrong, what a wrong, I will believe your words? Hang them up."

  Fang Jifan was in a hurry. He originally thought that if he said a word slowly, if he shouted that he was wronged, His Majesty would say something wrong.

  It seems that everything in the drama is deceiving!

   Fortunately, Fang Jifan's brain turned quickly, and immediately shouted: "Your Highness, what have you learned recently?"

  Zhu Houzhao heard something, suddenly remembered something, and shouted: "Mencius said: Boyi defeated Zhou, lived on the shore of the North Sea, heard the writings of King Wen, Xing said..."

   "..."

  I only heard Zhu Houzhao's voice in one breath: "If there is good old-age care in the world, the benevolent people will think that they are home. For a five-acre house, there will be mulberries under the tree wall, and a woman's silkworm, and the old man will be able to wear silk..."

  Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback.

  ...

  Say timidly, new... new book... can I ask for some support, people are begging for support with gongs and drums, the tiger is walking on thin ice, trembling... miserable... miserable.

  The book "The Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty" is still just a child...
