Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember it in a second, never lose it!

In the Forbidden City, as always.

Early in the morning, Emperor Hongzhi arrived at the Nuan Pavilion. Immediately afterwards, the cabinet scholars headed by Liu Jian met with them and began to discuss the day's government affairs.

Emperor Hongzhi's complexion was obviously not good.

As for the result of the whole fraud case, Liu Jian and others are well aware of it.

Although I feel that in this case, Cheng Minzheng and Xu Jing are really wronged, and it has been clearly verified, but His Majesty still has not rehabilitated them. Although Cheng Minzheng and Xu Jing were allowed to escape, they were also wronged up.

The reason is just the face of the palace and the court, but the majesty of the palace and the court cannot be violated.

Even Liu Jian, although sympathetic, knew that he could not persuade His Majesty to change his mind and rehabilitate the two of them.

Therefore, everyone has a tacit understanding and will not mention the fraud case today.

Emperor Hongzhi had been frowning all this time, so naturally he didn't want to mention this matter. This has become a thorn in his heart. This case can only be muddied in this way. There will be no results, and there can be no right or wrong, but... deep down However, Emperor Hongzhi was unavoidably a little uneasy.

But is there any way, is it possible to let the whole world know that the emperor also makes mistakes? Once people know that the emperor is not a sage, won't the emperor's other will also be criticized and questioned? The son of heaven, who is ordered by the sky, can't make mistakes.

But no matter how he comforted himself, Emperor Hongzhi still seemed a little uneasy, listening to Liu Jian's views on the suppression of Milu rebels in Guizhou.

But at this moment, a eunuch came in cautiously, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Fang Jifan is asking to see you."

"Fang Jifan?" Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly. He is a small general flag, what is he running here at this time? Shouldn't you be on duty at Zhan Shifu today?

"What's the matter?" Emperor Hongzhi was in a bad mood today, but asked calmly.

The eunuch's face was slightly disturbed, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "He is outside the Meridian Gate, and he keeps saying that he wants to speak up for justice..."

"Pfft..." Xie Qian sat firmly on the sidelines. Emperor Hongzhi has always been generous to several university scholars. Not only did he give them a seat, but he also served them tea. Xie Qian was sipping a cup of tea at this interval. Tea, who would have thought that the tea had just been drunk, and when he heard the words "Jianyi Zhiyan", he spewed out the tea in one sip.

You are a banner officer of the Habayashi Guard, and you are not a Qingliu. What does it have to do with you?

You, Fang Jifan, are the target of being spoken out for righteousness, and the words for righteousness come out of your mouth. Isn't this... a joke?

At this time, Liu Jian's reaction was just pursing his lips and not saying anything.

The last time Fang Jifan's three disciples shined brilliantly in the examination, which made him feel honored, so Fang Jifan's views changed a bit.

Li Dongyang was smiling, but no one could guess what he was thinking at this moment.

"Speaking out of justice?" Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help crying and laughing: "What does he want to speak up for?"

The eunuch took a cautious look at Emperor Hongzhi: "Fang Jifan claimed that it was for the case of imperial examination fraud."

"..."

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the warm pavilion suddenly cooled down.

This matter can now be regarded as the emperor's rebellion, and the three of them, Liu Jian, are well aware of it.

But this Fang Jifan is really itchy, dare to touch this kind of Nilin?

Even Liu Jian and the others dare not expose this scar now.

Sure enough, Emperor Hongzhi was full of anger, and said sharply: "Is he, the chief banner official, able to criticize the affairs of the court? It's a big joke in the world. I usually indulge him too much, so that he relies on his cleverness. Just showing off everywhere, if it wasn't for the sake of his brain disease, I must punish him severely, go back and tell him, so that he will not cause trouble, I will not see him."

So the eunuch hurriedly bowed and saluted, and hurried away.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was still cloudy and uncertain, showing that his anger had not subsided.

To be honest, Fang Jifan also had a brain disease fortunately, and he was still a junior, too young, if someone else dared to come here to touch the tiger's butt, Emperor Hongzhi, who was ashamed and angry, would have been punished long ago.

Now that Cheng Minzheng and Xu Jing were released from the imperial prison, it was already lenient. This matter must not continue to be messed up.

However, when Fang Jifan wanted to speak out for Cheng Minzheng and Xu Jing, the three of them, Liu Jian, were all slightly taken aback. Fang Jifan...why did he do this? It's good that this guy doesn't mess around normally, but... he has such courage?

Even Xie Qian, who could not help laughing just now, is now serious. In any case, in his heart, Fang Jifan's behavior today needs to be taken seriously and is worthy of respect.

With such a incident, Emperor Hongzhi became even more restless, but he thought the matter was over, but who knew that the eunuch would go and come back, knelt down in fear and said, "Your Majesty, Fang Jifan refuses to leave."

"Then ignore him, hum!" Emperor Hongzhi said with a straight face.

But the eunuch hesitated for a moment, before he said bravely: "This servant thinks so too, but...he knelt outside the Meridian Gate without saying a word. Wei, many people were watching there, Ou was whispering, the slaves thought... thought... if he continued to mess around at the Meridian Gate like this, I'm afraid it would be unsightly..."

call……

At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi was completely angered, and he said angrily: "Fang Jifan turned against him!"

After finishing speaking, he stood up angrily, paced back and forth, with an angry look on his face.

Fang Jifan's words and deeds obviously hurt Emperor Hongzhi's self-esteem and provoked a certain sense of guilt deep in Emperor Hongzhi's heart, but this was extremely dangerous, because there is a saying called anger from embarrassment, and the emperor made a decisive decision. But when he lost his mind and gave an order, his life would be over.

At this time, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian looked at each other. Even Fang Jifan dared to speak up. If the three of them didn't say anything, they would be ashamed to gain a foothold in the temple.

I saw Liu Jian said seriously: "Your Majesty, why don't you call him here and listen to what he has to say."

"Yes." Xie Qian said: "Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, why bother to get angry with a child?"

Li Dongyang was thoughtful, he vaguely felt that Fang Jifan was a very smart person, on the surface he was absurd, but on the inside, he would never do such a demented thing!

But why did he do this?

"Hmph!" Emperor Hongzhi still said angrily, "Okay, I'd like to hear what he has to say, pass it on!"

So the eunuch hurried out again, and the deathlike silence returned to the warm pavilion.

Monarchs and ministers have their own concerns, Liu Jian's brows are faintly worried, he has no prejudice against Fang Jifan, and Fang Jifan's actions today are impressive, but...

Liu Jian is well aware of the fraud case, and there are too many things to worry about. Your Majesty has His Majesty's difficulties. If Fang Jifan keeps chattering, wouldn't he be courting death?

After a while, Fang Jifan stepped into the warm pavilion.

Before coming, he actually made some preparations, for example... He put a layer of steel plates in his underwear, which was inspired by the prince.

At this time, Fang Jifan stepped forward and said: "I have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

Emperor Hongzhi pulled his face, with a slight sharpness in his eyes, he glanced at Fang Jifan very impolitely, and said in a cold voice: "You are not on duty in Zhan Shifu, why are you here?"

From the voice, Fang Jifan could hear that His Majesty was still angry.

Fang Jifan said sternly, "I have come here to report something."

Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "What's the matter, don't hide it."

Fang Jifan took a deep breath, and then said: "I heard that Cheng Minzheng, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, and Xu Jing, the Gongsheng student, have not found any real evidence for the case of fraud in the imperial examination."

If you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that Emperor Hongzhi's hands trembled slightly!

I’m really afraid of what’s coming. I’m not mean to you, Fang Jifan, and I’m generous to your Fang family. How many things have you done in the past and were impeached? Didn’t I protect you? It's all right now, but your wings are hardened, and now you come here to be a clear stream, to accuse and question me?

Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "Fang Jifan, can you count how many impeachment memorandums about you in the Qing palace, have they been kept by me?"

"..."

Uh, this is playing cards out of routine.

The matter is very important. In fact, before Fang Jifan came here, he had imitated it long ago, just like in the drama. Fang Jifan's general routine was to mention the fraud case himself, and then the emperor asked, what's the matter with Qianqing, and then Fang Jifan started again. Eloquently explain your point of view.

But... what I thought, in reality, it turned out to be a different scene.

I just listened to Emperor Hongzhi's word for word: "Do you want me to count them out for you to see?"

Emperor Hongzhi spoke calmly, but every word hit Fang Jifan's seven inches.

This... is a bit embarrassing.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a smile that was not a smile, and the expression on his face was probably "Come on, let's hurt each other".

Fang Jifan, who was originally full of energy, suddenly weakened a little bit, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, what I want to play is a matter of the moment. Can you please let your majesty let the minister finish speaking, and then settle the score after the autumn."

Settle accounts after autumn!

Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly, this guy even said the word Qiu Hou to settle accounts. Doesn't this mean that I am petty and settle old accounts with him?

Fang Jifan seized this gap, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, since there is no clue and no real evidence for this case, why not fan Cheng Minzheng and Xu Jingping? It's really not right to lose their student status, in my heart, His Majesty is a holy king, how could he do such a thing."

In fact, Fang Jifan didn't know how to persuade him, and he was really unfamiliar with words and sentences.

So Liu Jian and the other three sighed in their hearts when they heard Fang Jifan's words. This guy is not trying to persuade, he is fighting His Majesty.
