Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 44 Shangfang Sword

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan in disbelief.

  Fang Jifan was a little embarrassed.

  I had no choice but to cough, and wanted to say something modestly, I am ashamed, it's all because the crown prince is smart, how can I teach him well, laughing at laughter and so on.

  But just as I was about to say these words, my heart was slightly shocked. No, if I said these words, what would His Majesty think in his heart? Would he think that I usually pretend to be a pig and a tiger, pretending to be crazy and stupid, and the city is unfathomable?

  It is not a good thing for the emperor to think that the city is extremely deep. This will cause unnecessary suspicion and suspicion. How could Fang Jifan, who specializes in history, not know this point?

  He then smiled, and with this grin, his neat and white teeth were exposed. This smile like a chicken thief seems to have become Fang Jifan's signature: "That's right, it's from Chenjiao..."

   This kid is waiting for the emperor to praise him.

   "..."

   All the imperial scholars in Zhan Shifu were speechless for a moment.

  Their impression of Fang Jifan is that this guy is unreliable, but at the critical moment, this guy actually secretly hides his secrets.

  Emperor Hongzhi felt turbulent waves in his heart, and his face turned a little red, as if he was about to suffocate internal injuries.

   But the stern gaze just now softened in an instant: "Fang Qing's family, very good!"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan appreciatively, but after all, he did not salute Fang Jifan like he did to Yang Tinghe, but his face was full of approval. His own son was about to rush towards the road of a subjugated king. Now This guy Fang Jifan...

  Emperor Hongzhi was in an extremely cheerful mood. It seemed that it was a wonderful move to let this kid enter Zhan Shifu.

  Emperor Hongzhi laughed and said: "Very good, very good, Fang Qing's family, I ask you, how did you teach the prince to understand these things?"

  Everyone pricked up their ears and looked at Fang Jifan in amazement, as if they wanted to wait for an answer.

   This made Fang Jifan a little embarrassed. Could it be that he bet with the prince every day, and the prince lost the chess, so he went to study honestly, and after reading the book, he would bully the prince again?

   This doesn't seem to fit the image of an excellent teacher, Fang Jifan could only say awkwardly: "This...chen...chen..."

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help blowing his beard and staring. Seeing Fang Jifan's expressionless expression, he suddenly thought of something: "Could it be that you are using what you taught those three scholars to beat to death?"

   "..." Fang Jifan's face turned green with fright!

  Fuck me, Your Majesty, don't wrong me, how dare I beat the crown prince, wronged, eternally wronged, I am more wronged than Dou E.

  Not waiting for Fang Jifan to explain...

  Zhu Houzhao couldn't help shaking from the uneasiness just now.

  In fact, when Zhu Houzhao heard his father’s question, he felt guilty. If his father knew that he and Fang Jifan were either playing chess or gambling every day, uh...he would definitely be beaten to death!

   But it is good for the father to guess like this now, and he has established his image as a victim. The son has been beaten every day, and the father is always embarrassed to continue beating himself!

  So Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said with grievances: "To be honest, my son... my son is suffering..."

   This guy is a natural dramatist, and tears come whenever he says he wants to, so there is no need to talk about making fun of Fang Jifan.

When everyone heard this, Fang Jifan was really brave. He really deserved to be a well-known absurd and wicked young man in the capital. He really fell for one thing. In their opinion, the crown prince was evil enough. When they met someone like Fang Jifan who was even more ruthless, Does he really dare to be rough on the prince?

  Emperor Hongzhi was also stunned, for a long time, he was speechless.

  Fang Jifan blushed and wanted to explain: "Your Majesty, please listen to me, I... I am not that kind of person... I am wronged..."

   Just as the word “injustice” was uttered, it was suddenly interrupted by loud laughter.

Instead of being furious, Emperor Hongzhi laughed loudly, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Good fight, good fight, strict teachers produce high-quality apprentices, I have always wanted to strictly discipline, but as a father, it is inevitable that there will be feelings of licking the calf." , I always can't bear it. Now that the crown prince is not good at studies, he needs someone like Fang Aiqing to discipline me on my behalf. It's true!"

  Zhu Houzhao was secretly happy at first, thinking that he had escaped a catastrophe, but after thinking about it, he suddenly felt heavy in his heart, is this his real father?

  Fang Jifan blushed, not sure if this was the emperor's praise for himself, should it? Uh... Is there any possibility of being settled by Qiuhou?

  Emperor Hongzhi laughed, but his face suddenly became cold again: "Fang Jifan, you beat the prince, are you guilty?"

   This is really a companion like a tiger. Just now I laughed and said that I played well, but when I turned around, I really started to settle accounts after autumn.

  The atmosphere in Minglun Hall suddenly started to turn cold, making Fang Jifan feel the chill on his back.

Zhu Houzhao was also terrified, although he suddenly felt that his father was starting to look a bit like his own father. It can be seen that his father Long Yan was furious, Bie Fang Jifan was really tricked by him, so he hurriedly wanted to explain: "Father Emperor..."

"Shut up!" Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Leng Ran, interrupted Zhu Houzhao sharply, and said solemnly: "The state owns the state laws, the family has family rules, and the elders and children are orderly. One is the crown prince and the other is a minister, can a minister deceive the emperor? Do you know what crime is to deceive the emperor?"

  Fang Jifan subconsciously said: "Your Majesty, you are crossing the river and tearing down the bridge."

  Actually, this is what Fang Jifan said subconsciously. After all, he has been a human being for two lifetimes, and he has not been influenced by too many monarchs and ministers in this era.

   But when he said this, everyone was really scared.

   This is really the rhythm of courting death.

  Zhu Houzhao was so frightened that he was out of his wits. At this time, he didn't dare to make trouble, and quickly bowed down, wanting to argue for Fang Jifan.

  Even the other Imperial Academy felt that His Majesty treated Fang Jifan a little too much. Although this guy is unreliable, he still has meritorious service after all, not to mention the truth that the crown prince just said...isn't it good?

Yang Tinghe opened his mouth. He was annoyed that Fang Jifan had brought the crown prince down, but after thinking about it carefully, he seemed to think that Fang Jifan's crime was not worthy of death. This matter was all caused by himself. Some couldn't justify it, he muttered, and couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, the old minister secretly thought that..."

Emperor Hongzhi's face turned ashen, and he shouted sharply: "Crossing the river and demolishing bridges? Fang Jifan, you are so bold, how dare you slander me? Could it be that I am wrong? You have been wronged? The crown prince is the future heir. Jun? You have forgotten the principle of the monarch, the minister and the minister?"

   "Hmph!" The cold snort from his nostrils was chilling.

Emperor Hongzhi sternly said: "Your Fang family has been loyal and good for generations, and it has come to you. Why didn't you learn anything about the good things of your fathers and ancestors? Bullying the emperor is a serious crime, and you still want to deny it? Someone... Take the sword Come."

  Sword…

   This time, it was more than just chilly, it was simply terrifying.

No one would have thought that Emperor Hongzhi would be so furious, but those who are interested understand that Emperor Hongzhi advocated the classics and righteousness, and the principles of Confucius and Mencius are the most respected. The four characters of monarch, minister and minister are very important in his heart. After all, he is Son of Heaven, how can you allow people to commit crimes?

  Zhu Houzhao was so frightened that he was out of his wits. Not long after, seeing the eunuch, he tremblingly took the imperial sword that was carried on behalf of the emperor.

When the emperor travels, he must have style. This is called Luanjia, so there are special guards, charioteers who carry chariots, fans, seals, and swords. Yes, all in all, this set of things can't be pulled down, it's called a gift.

Emperor Hongzhi obviously had no interest in weapons. This imperial sword was originally used for decoration. Now, Emperor Hongzhi put the sword in his hand. He rubbed the imperial sword in his hand, his eyes were cold, and he said calmly: " How courageous are you, Fang Jifan, to deceive the king..." As he spoke, he raised his sword directly in front of Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jifan was already petrified, it would be abnormal not to be afraid!

   This seems to be a terrible rhythm!

  However, before he could react, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly swung his sword across, and the sword fell in front of Fang Jifan.

Emperor Hongzhi said sternly: "Without a name and no title, if you dare to beat the crown prince, you are deceiving the emperor and committing a crime; you are really confused. If you dare to beat the crown prince without a name or title next time, I will punish you from all clans. But... you have a name." It's different, I gave you this sword, with this sword on your body, when you see the crown prince, you will feel like you are here in person. In this way, it is not considered a taboo, and it is not considered a violation of discipline to teach the crown prince a lesson. The Crown Prince is stubborn, I gave you this sword to take advantage of your courage to beat him up on my behalf, you must not be polite, as long as no one is beaten to death, with this Shangfang sword in your body, I will order you Not guilty, Fang Qing's family, I entrust you with the matter of beating up the crown prince."
