The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1779

[1779. Chapter 1691 Kill two birds with one stone]

Killing two birds with one stone Zhu Hou looked at Fang Jifan and said seriously: “Old Fang, with a knife weighing dozens of kilograms, I’m afraid it won’t be fun to play with. You might as well bring a fire blunderbuss to make you look smarter.”

Fang Jifan laughed dryly .

.

He knew that Zhu Houzhao could really do anything.

So he hurriedly joked: “It’s just a joke. Your Highness doesn’t need to take it to heart, but…” At this point, Fang Jifan became serious: “This incident all started because of the Yang family in Bozhou. This Yang family occupies hundreds of houses in Bozhou.” For thousands of years, they have had land, food, and troops and horses in their headquarters. They have always kept a low profile, and now they are suddenly revolting. Obviously… they look down on His Highness. If it weren’t for them, how could they have caused such a controversy? Then they migrated to the Yungui area. Their ability to adapt was very strong. At that time, Yungui was still in a wild land. Not only did they establish a firm foothold, they even spread their branches. Now… they have reached a stage that cannot be underestimated. Your Highness, I honestly believe that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of mice can dig holes. The ancestors of the Yang family have such skills, and their descendants have left behind the craftsmanship of their ancestors. “It’s such a pity. If we don’t send them to Huanghuangzhou, I feel like I can’t sleep anyway.”

Zhu Houzhao clasped his hands behind his back, blew on his mustache, and squinted: “But this Yang family of Bozhou may not be easy to mess with. After all… they have troops and horses. There are ten thousand soldiers in Bozhou, and there are descendants of the Yang family all over Bozhou. The high mountains and ridges in that place have been a natural barrier since the Tang Dynasty to the present day of the Ming Dynasty, even Taizu Gao. The emperor had to pinch his nose to admit their hereditary status in Banzhou. It can be seen that… it is not easy to make them submit. Even if they start a fight rashly, the cost will be staggering and it will definitely not be worth it. “

Even if you are confused .

Zhu Houzhao knew that there would be no benefit in forcing the Yang family in Bozhou to rebel.

After all, the Yang family in Bozhou did not threaten the imperial court, and it could be said to be peaceful and peaceful over the years.

Although this is a nail, it is very annoying. But it’s better to turn against the enemy. Although the imperial court can annihilate the Yang family, what price will it pay?

Fang Jifan’s heart was burning.

The Yang family has such a large population.

These are the talents that Golden Continent needs!

Although the lower limit for talents in Golden Continent is relatively low, it would be great if you can have sound limbs. If you are only lame in one foot or missing an arm, even if you only have the ability to give birth, you can still be considered among the talents.

Fang Jifan was also a very stubborn person at certain times. Was it so easy for him to give up?

The answer is of course impossible!

He clenched his fists and said: “Your Highness, Your Highness, this Yang family just didn’t take His Highness seriously, so he wrote a letter. Overtly and secretly, he blamed His Highness the Crown Prince for killing the gentry! This is unbearable. I and Your Highness are both monarchs and close friends. I really can’t stand it anymore. If I don’t send these dog-like things to the Golden Continent, I won’t be able to sleep or eat well. Besides, it’s not necessarily necessary to go to war with them. I only need one person. , so that the Bozhou Yang family can be captured without any effort. Besides, if the Bozhou Yang family dares to provoke His Highness, can you not show them any shame? Your Highness, just leave this matter to me. I only need one person to handle this. Something.”

“Oh?” Zhu Houzhao was stunned, but became a little curious.

Fang Jifan smiled brightly and spoke slowly: “Gu Dayong!”

Gu Dayong was Zhu Houzhao’s companion. Ever since Liu Jin took charge of Sihai Trading Company, Gu Dayong had always been by Zhu Houzhao’s side. He almost replaced him. Liu Jin’s responsibilities.

This guy is not as playful as Liu Jin, nor is he as desperate as others. He always looks loyal and honest. Of course… if he can work as an errand next to Zhu Houzhao, he will definitely not be an honest person.

At this time, Gu Dayong was waiting on the side. At first, he saw Qi Guogong fooling His Highness the Crown Prince, and he was just enjoying himself.

He is well aware of the temper of His Highness the Crown Prince and knows the most unprovoked ways of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Therefore… every time he saw Qi Guogong using this trick, he grinned innocently, as if he was about to enter the bridal chamber.

When he heard the words “Gu Da Yong” pop out of Fang Jifan’s mouth.

The honest smile still remained on his face, but there was a hint of panic in his eyes.

Immediately… the panic in his eyes began to spread to his facial muscles.

There was a gurgling sound in his throat, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn’t.

But his body was like mud and he collapsed.

Immediately, he collapsed to the ground and wailed: “Oh my God, His Royal Highness, slave… I don’t dare to go, I don’t dare…”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned at first, never expecting that this person Lao Fang was talking about. It’s actually Gu Dayong!

But…

looking at the wailing Gu Dayong, Zhu Houzhao could only be annoyed.

This is a shameful thing.

So he couldn’t help but raise his leg angrily to kick the grain.

Gu Dayong hurriedly held his head to hide.

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: “You bitch, what are you saying about mourning? Just go ahead and let you go. Will Lao Fang cheat you? How do you usually say that you want to die for me, don’t you just have the chance now? Why, Do you dare to be disloyal? You bitch…”

Gu Dayong lay on the ground and shivered. He never thought that such a transparent person would be cared about by the Duke of Qi. His tears fell. Zhu Houzhao didn’t dare to speak out his words.

Fang Jifan pulled Zhu Houzhao gently: “Your Highness, don’t hit him. Keep him useful. Anyone can use him in this world. Even cats and dogs, even a piece of toilet paper, are useful. Don’t break it.” Give me some face. Gu Dayong, you go to my place tomorrow, I will give you an interview, and then prepare to set off. Remember, you are the only one allowed to go, and no one is allowed to take you with you, even if you die. Exposed his identity, do you know? “

…

The next day, Fang Jifan waited patiently.

Gu Dayong came still feeling aggrieved.

Her eyes were still swollen, as if she had been crying all night.

Fang Jifan was very warm and patted his shoulder: “Our little warrior is here.”

Gu Dayong: “…”

Fang Jifan pulled him to the hall, asked Gu Dayong to sit down, and gave him a warm hand in person. Gu Dayong poured tea.

Gu Dayong was so frightened that he peed. He didn’t dare to sit anymore and knelt on the ground again with a snap: “Qi Guogong, one of my own, one of my own. I have always respected Qi Guogong. For the sake of my slave… for the sake of my slave.” …”

Fang Jifan suddenly straightened his face and shouted: “What, if you don’t eat the toast, you will have to drink the wine as a penalty?”

Gu Dayong suddenly deflated, and his face was miserable: “Eat… eat the toast, but… How can this slave… …”

Fang Jifan looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile. He did not enjoy such torture at all.

It must be reiterated that Fang Jifan is a person who has escaped from vulgar taste. In his heart, he possesses the virtues that a modern person should have.

He sat down and took a sip of tea slowly: “It doesn’t matter whether you have the ability or not. As far as our successor is concerned, as long as you are interested, you will be useful. Now I want to use you, but you are resisting. What is the reason? You look down on me.” Fang Jifan? Don’t make me angry. If you make me angry, I will hand over the private money you secretly hid to His Royal Highness, your nephew, your nephew… and feed them to the dogs.”

Gu Dayong gave them a beating. Shivering, he hurriedly waved his hands: “No, I don’t dare to provoke you, this slave…”

It was obviously Fang Jifan who provoked us, so how did you say that we provoked him?

Of course, there is no reason to argue with Qi Guogong.

“In this case, just listen to my instructions and do it. If it is done, it will be of no benefit to you. If it is not done, just treat it as loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince.”

With that, Fang Jifan gave some instructions, so, so, so In this way, Gu Dayong was frightened as he listened, and felt as if his life was not in his hands.

After finishing the instructions, Fang Jifan stroked his shoulder and personally walked him to the door. At the door… there was already a carriage parked.

Fang Jifan said: “Do a good job, I’ve always been optimistic about you. It’s late, so hurry up and have a good trip.”

Gu Dayong got into the car cautiously.

With a click, Fang Jifan closed the car door.

Gu Dayong was still in shock, but he found a scratching sound coming from outside the car.

He hurriedly put his head to the glass window to look, and then started to slap the glass of the car window, shouting: “Why is it still locked, Mr. Qi, you are so good, why is it still locked…”

Fang Jifan held the iron rope and placed the door on the car. Chu locked the door, feeling relieved. He ignored the sounds of slapping and wailing on the carriage, and waved to the carriage happily.

At this time, Wang Jinyuanxing came excitedly with a copy of the express message from Fei Ge in his hand. When he saw this scene, his face was miserable.

Fang Jifan put his hands behind his back and watched the carriage drive away slowly, showing a satisfied smile.

Wang Jinyuan stepped forward tremblingly: “Young Master… Young Master… today… what… are you doing?”

Fang Jifan said decisively: “Your Young Master really broke his heart for the sake of the imperial court.”

Wang Jinyuan felt even more My neck felt chilly.

Fang Jifan glanced at him, knowing that Wang Jinyuan didn’t understand him.

I sighed in my heart.

His Royal Highness is about to ascend the throne.

Soon, a group of chickens and dogs from the East Palace will ascend to heaven.

Needless to say, Liu Jin is his own grandson, and he is getting more and more stable.

But what about Gu Da using these people?

These people will be a disaster sooner or later if they are kept around.

But if he didn’t stay, there would be no eunuchs around the emperor. Without Gu Dayong, there would be Zhang Dayong and Li Dayong.

Therefore, Fang Jifan must teach Gu Day a lesson with these people.

Don’t get in the way easily. If you get in the way, there are ten thousand ways to kill you.

Be obedient and do things for Fang Jifan. Of course it will benefit you.

This reward and punishment is to teach them how to behave.

What’s more… Golden Continent is the foundation of the Fang family, so we have to plan for it.

In Golden Continent, population is the most important issue. If we don’t send more people, how will we develop and grow in the future?

Manpower is the most valuable resource.

With people, everything is possible.

This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

Not to mention, cleaning up the Yang family in Bozhou can also establish the prince’s prestige and let people know the consequences of provoking His Royal Highness, which will help promote unity between the government and the opposition in the future.

Fang Jifan was too lazy to explain to Wang Jinyuan: “Why, what’s the matter?”

“Master, there is some news from Luzon. I think it’s quite interesting, so I came here to report it.”
