Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 7 Listening to Heaven

  The **** got the order and left in a hurry.

  But not long after, the **** went and came back: "Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good. The General Secretary sent someone to Fang's house to ask, and they said it was Nan He Bo... fainted..."

  Sitting on the side with his head bowed, Zhu Houzhao seemed to be reflecting. When he heard that someone fainted, he was shocked, his eyes flashed, but when his eyes touched the father, he bowed his head as if he had made a mistake again.

  Emperor Hongzhi hurriedly said in amazement: "Have passed out? He is a man in his prime, and he is also a hero. He has just returned in triumph. What happened?"

The **** said dumbfoundedly: "It is said... It is said that his son fainted from anger. Nan and Bo went out to fight, but his son Fang Jifan sold out all the Fang family's property. It's not just that, even the bottles and jars at home are sold. Clean it up, Your Majesty, this is a cub who sells his father's land. According to ordinary people, he is a prodigal son. Not only that, he also bought ebony with all the money he got. Nan and Bo heard the bad news, I was extremely angry, and I heard that not only the ancestral property was sold, but even the ancestral..."

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help saying: "There is such a person?"

The **** was afraid that His Majesty would not believe it: "Your Majesty doesn't know. Fang Jifan, the eldest son of Nanhebo, was already a well-known prodigal son in the capital. He refused to study since he was a child. His notoriety has spread far and wide, he is Nan He Bo's only son, Nan He Bo has always doted on him, so he has no scruples, everyone in Beijing knows him..."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said, "It's unheard of to be so treacherous and vicious. I feel sorry for Nan Hebo. He went out to fight and made great contributions to the court, but his backyard caught fire. Human beings are born with good nature. This is the result of excessive spoiling. Purpose…"

Emperor Hongzhi stood up, took two steps in the warm pavilion, and muttered: "Order the imperial doctor to treat Nan Hebo, and also, his son Fang Jifan, who is ignorant and incapable of behavior..." The emperor was obviously furious, with a look on his face. Murderous, just about to punish severely, but after thinking about it, he sighed: "Forget it, the son didn't teach, it's the father's fault, Nanhe Boxin made military exploits, and now he suffers this calamity again, if he punishes his son again... it will make his heart feel worse." Don't worry, the review is coming soon, let this son participate in the review."

  The **** responded quickly and hesitated for a moment: "In previous years, Fang Jifan refused to go to review."

  Emperor Hongzhi immediately lowered his face: "Even if it is tied, it must be tied."

   Zhu Houzhao on the side listened, sniffed, almost didn't laugh out loud, couldn't help gloating.

  Unexpectedly, at this moment, he saw his father's gaze shooting towards him like a sword. Zhu Houzhao raised his eyes in astonishment, intersecting with his father's eyes, and saw that there was a bit more murderous look in this supposedly loving gaze...

Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt like he was on his back, and was about to start pretending to be pitiful, but Emperor Hongzhi sternly said: "You are the prince, can the prince waste his studies? After reading the theory of adultery for so long, he can't recite it. How can he be sorry?" Ancestors?"

  Zhu Houzhao hurriedly squeezed out tears, and sobbed: "Yes, yes, I dare not."

But today, he found that his father had become hard-hearted. Facing his tears, he still kept his face sullen, and sternly shouted: "Usually I pamper you too much. If you still indulge you today, you will be spoiled in the future." Not even the boy of the Fang family, he lost his ancestral property, but when I die in the future, what you lose is the country, the country, and the country. You are no longer young, and you are still so ignorant. How can I feel at ease? Copy the "Debate on Traitors" twenty times, and I will check it myself, and if I steal and play tricks, I will never forgive you lightly!"

Zhu Houzhao had never seen his father so furious. When he heard that he wanted to copy "Debating Traitors" twenty times, his heart was cut like a knife. He has provoked someone, but he nodded hurriedly: "My son obeys the order... "

  Emperor Hongzhi's face softened slightly, but he still pulled his face: "Go to Zhan Shifu to study, don't be an eyesore here."

  Zhu Houzhao thought about it, and finally came back to it!

  Fang surnamed, you cheated, will you have a good life in the future?

  ...

The imperial doctor came to Fang's house. In fact, Fang Jinglong was just frightened and passed out. He woke up soon, but his eyes were a little dull. Thinking that the family business was empty, he bought a pile of ebony and piled it up in the backyard. The general who was conquering the south suddenly became sluggish.

  It's a shame, I've lost all my old face. If you sell your father's land, it's a shame to be a human being. Even His Majesty knew about it, and even sent an imperial doctor...

  Fang Jinglong is not a thin-skinned person, but every time he thinks about it, he wants to find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

When eating, the father and the father sat on the long benches. Fang Jifan was afraid that Fang Jinglong would beat him, so he deliberately moved a little farther away. As for the food, it was not much better. careful.

  Fang Jifan's heart was fluctuating, and he was quite entangled in his heart, so he could only sigh secretly, don't worry, when the price of ebony skyrockets, he must redeem all the land, no, he must buy the best.

Snapped…

  Fang Jifan was startled when he heard the movement, with the vegetable leaves still in his mouth, his handsome face turned pale instantly, thinking that this time his father had gone crazy and wanted to beat someone up.

Looking up, Fang Jinglong had slapped the chopsticks on the willow wooden table, then raised his head, his nose was a little red, he looked very sour, his eyes were slightly moist, and he sighed: "I'm sorry, my ancestors, my ancestors!" what."

   "Father..." Fang Jifan cautiously probed: "Don't keep mentioning your ancestors..." He shrank his neck: "I always feel the wind blowing."

  Fang Jinglong glared at him, then looked at Deng Jian.

  Deng Jian was also surprised: "Young Master, you are called Dad again...isn't it..."

  Fang Jifan wanted to tear Deng Jian's grandson apart. What's wrong with me calling him dad? He is my dad.

   But think about it carefully, that’s all, I really don’t want to be arrested by the doctor again for research.

   When it comes to this point, prodigal has become an instinct, and one must not forget one's roots.

  He bared his teeth: "Old man, are you still letting people eat?"

Fang Jinglong wanted to say something, he pursed his lips, looked at his son, who melted again, and couldn't help but said lovingly: "Jifan, you will never grow up. Our Fang family has been favored by our ancestors. Since you were young, you didn't like to study or practice martial arts. You don't care what others think of you, but sometimes, when you see other Duke's children going to participate in the review, you have an assignment. At least I was a little envious. This year's review period has come. When I returned to Beijing for my father, I was still thinking how good it would be if Jifan went to try his luck. But who knows, when you come back, you will see that you have sold your ancestral property. At this time As a father, I no longer have such hope, now I only hope that your illness will be cured, that you will not relapse again, that you will live in peace for the rest of your life, and that you will be a prince in the future, even if you don't have a dispatch, it doesn't matter."

  The so-called proofreading is not really proofreading.

The noble children of Daming almost all work as errands. This has been a rule since Emperor Taizu. After all, although the title of Daming is hereditary, the salary is not high. For example, Fang Jinglong received three salary, one It depends on the Earl of Nanhe, one depends on his current post, for example, he is currently serving in the army, and is the deputy governor of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, and the other is on military merit. This time he came back from the southern expedition , there will definitely be rewards.

But if you don't participate in the review, you will have no dispatch, and you can only live on the salary of the title. The most important thing for noble children is this. Almost all the noble children in Beijing who are promising, they must be in the army. Serving in the Six Guards is either in the Zongling Mansion, or in the Five Armies Governor's Mansion, but someone like Fang Jifan can only eat idle food for a lifetime.

  If you want to be sent, you must pass the review, and the review is an exam, an exam for nobles.
