The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1820

[1820.Chapter 1731: The Duke of Zhen Guo]

Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao speechlessly.

After being silent for a long time, Fang Jifan said: “Your Majesty, how good are the meals prepared by the imperial chefs in the palace?”

The topic changed a bit, but when Zhu Houzhao heard the word “imperial chef”, he couldn’t help but said: “These damn imperial chefs , Even if they are all sent to Huangjin Continent, none of them will be unjust.”

As he said this, he clasped his hands behind his back and realized that Fang Jifan had changed the subject. He shook his head again and thought of something: “That Chen Yan is really rude. However… some of what he said is not wrong. In the final analysis, I am still wrong. I complained about illness every day and refused to go to court. It is indeed my fault.”

Fang Jifan immediately said: “Your Majesty knows that he can correct his mistakes. There is no great good. The ancient sage kings also made mistakes, but the reason why the sage kings are sage kings is that they can always check themselves like your majesty.”

Zhu Houzhao suddenly widened his eyes and said: “Who said I plan to change. ?”

Fang Jifan had already adapted to Zhu Houzhao’s surprising words. He raised his thumb and said, “Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he is indeed different from ordinary emperors. Haha… If your Majesty is unable to show his illness, people like Chen Yan will scold him. Your Majesty visits the court every day to ask questions. Why do they want to scold you? After all, people like Chen Yan are not doing it for the sake of the court. They just want your Majesty to obey their arrangements in everything. They do not want Your Majesty to rule the world, but they want Your Majesty to listen to you and rule the world every day, that’s all. These people have the worst intentions, and the most powerful thing is their words. They hope to tame Your Majesty and turn Him from a wolf to a dog. , His heart is to be punished. Your Majesty can see through the minds of these people at a glance. It can be seen that Your Majesty has not been confused by the so-called anecdotes of the Holy King they advocate. What is a true Holy King? A true Holy King should be like Your Majesty. In this way, as long as you keep the common people and the country in your heart, no matter what you do, you will never be deceived by people like Chen Yan and do what you should do. This is the blessing of the people in the world.”

Zhu Houzhao was happy: “Yes. , Yes, yes, that’s what I mean. Lao Fang is smart, and indeed… no one in the world knows me better than Lao Fang, just like King Wen has Jiang Taigong.”

Fang Jifan waved: “Your Majesty is King Wen .

, I am not Jiang Taigong.”

Zhu Houzhao patted him on the shoulder: “Don’t be humble, you can do it.”

Zhu Houzhao then said: “As for recruiting merchants to build the railway, I still leave it to you, and the Zhenguo government will do it. Leave it to the Qing family. This is a big deal, do you understand?”

Fang Jifan nodded: “Don’t worry, Your Majesty, I will take care of it.”

Zhu Houzhao felt much relieved and continued cheerfully: “Also, I plan to build a villa. “

This…” Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao doubtfully.

Zhu Houzhao said: “Go to Chenjiazhuang.”

Fang Jifan looked like it was indeed the case!

Speaking of Chenjiazhuang, although it is not far away from the Daming Palace, it is far enough. When Zhu Houzhao was still the prince, he purchased an unknown amount of land there.

Zhu Houzhao said again: “I like tigers and leopards, and I want to raise more tigers and leopards in the new palace. What do you think?”

Fang Jifan said: “Your Majesty is the real dragon emperor, and those tigers and leopards are like cats and dogs in front of your Majesty, but “Er, what are you doing raising these wastes? Our Ming Dynasty’s standing army currently has five armies, nearly one hundred thousand armored men, all of them are like wolves and tigers. They are your Majesty’s tigers and leopards.”

Zhu Houzhao listened and said. His eyes dropped slightly, he thought for a moment, nodded and said: “It makes sense. It makes sense to raise those beasts instead of raising these elite soldiers of mine. Very good, Lao Fang, you have solved another doubt for me. This town Duke, you must be the one, come…”

As he said that, Zhu Houzhao lowered his head, opened his skirt, and saw dozens of seals hanging around his waist.

He reached out and took out one, and sighed: “This seal of the Duke of the Town has been with me for so many years, and now I have a jade seal, and it is genuine. As for the seal of the Duke of the Town, starting from today, it will be Give it to you. You just said that I am different from ordinary emperors. Those emperors only want the false reputation of a holy king, so they are tamed by people like Chen Yan and are at the mercy of so-called Qingliu like Chen Yan. But I am different. , what I want to do is to be the unparalleled holy king in the world. I want to teach the so-called holy kings in this world that they are all eclipsed and cannot be flattered. I do not trust those who employ me and do not use those who are suspicious. You don’t have to be afraid. Don’t always think about committing crimes. Taboo, if I really want to kill you, why should I find other excuses? When I was still the prince, didn’t you do many things like killing a thousand swords? Put this seal away. From today on, you will be the Duke of Zhenguo! “

Zhu Houzhao had already said so much that Fang Jifan couldn’t hold back anymore. Fang Jifan silently received the seal, but two questions came to his mind, and he couldn’t help but ask: “Your Majesty, this seal The seal of the Duke is always real.”

Zhu Houzhao nodded.

Fang Jifan asked again: “What did your Majesty just say about killing a thousand swords? I am a little confused.”

“Ah…” Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan with a smile: “I can’t finish this in a day and a night.”

Fang Jifan was determined not to stop.

As the questions continued, it was probably a patient’s mentality that he had learned that he had too many illnesses and had decided to give up treatment.

Received the seal and said goodbye.

Two hours later, an imperial edict was sent, ordering Fang Jifan to be the Duke of the Zhenguo, and to be a cabinet bachelor, in charge of all major and minor affairs of the Zhenguo.

Fang Jifan thanked him and accepted the order.

It was Liu Jin who came to deliver the edict. When he announced the edict, he had a straight face. When the edict was read out, he immediately looked flattering: “Congratulations, congratulations, Goddess. My grandson learned that Godfather has been promoted step by step. He is really better than himself.” I’m still happy to have a baby.”

Fang Jifan narrowed his eyes and said, “Why are you always thinking about having a baby? Could it be that you want to have surgery?” “Yeah.”

Liu

Jin’s eyes suddenly lit up: “Could this be curable?

Shaking his head, he sighed: “In this world, inheritance of the family line is not the only important thing. You have to be more open-minded and think more about pleasant things.”

Liu Jin tilted her head, adjusted her ups and downs, and smiled again: “Fuck it. Master, Chen Yan and his grandson have already made arrangements. As long as his family and his family get on the ship and the ship arrives in the West, then…”

Having said this, he stretched out his hand and touched it under his neck. At this moment, Liu Jin finally showed the most frightening momentum in history.

Fang Jifan frowned and waved his hand: “Who said you want to kill them? Golden Continent is short of so much labor, so you still want to kill people? You piece of shit, believe it or not, I don’t recognize your grandson.”

When Liu Jin heard this

, his eyes suddenly turned red, he fell to the ground hurriedly, and kowtowed: “My god, my grandson has misunderstood what my god meant. You old man, no, my god is very young, and will always be young…”

Fang Jifan said calmly He waved his hands tastelessly.

Invincible, really lonely.

I just wanted to turn against others, but this bitch got cold feet.

“Get up and talk. Do you have anything else? If not, get out.”

Liu Jin knew that his godfather must have forgiven him by saying this, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart: “One more thing, my grandson has been cleaned up according to your instructions. The factory guards have now begun to ask them to look around, and they have really discovered something fishy. The godfather still remembers that when the godfather was assassinated, although the person behind it was found guilty and executed, there were always rumors about this. Behind the scenes…there are people who seem to want to protect this person.”

Fang Jifan thought thoughtfully. Since the assassination, Fang Jifan has been protected by hundreds of people at all times, both covertly and covertly. If It’s not because Fang Jifan is relatively low-key. Maybe the size of this guard will be increased several times. Anyway…he has plenty of money.

Therefore, this person was gradually forgotten.

Now that Liu Jin mentioned it, Fang Jifan narrowed his eyes and said, “There have been rumors that this person is in a high position. Why…what did you find out?”

“I just have some clues and noticed…that the minister involved in this matter should be Many…it’s not that simple.”

Fang Jifan said: “These people were not taken to Huanghuangzhou by the emperor?”

Liu Jin shook his head: “Of course these people have made up their mind to oppose the New Deal in other ways. They will publicly stand up and accuse Ganye, who knows, they are also talking about the benefits of Ganye and the New Deal. How could the emperor know that these people are stumbling blocks to the new emperor?”

Fang Jifan felt justified: “In that case, give it to him quickly? I found out that I am very uneasy now. I am always worried. Also, I need to pick some good factory guards and protect them secretly. Do you understand?”

Liu Jin was shocked and said seriously: “Don’t worry, sir. When the grandson returned home, he immediately selected hundreds of elite bandits and lieutenants to secretly protect the godfather in three shifts day and night. To be honest, in this capital, if the godfather’s own bodyguards were added, it would not be possible without the Beijing camp being sent out for encirclement and suppression. People can move the godfather.”

Fang Jifan nodded with satisfaction: “This makes me feel a little more at ease.”

Early the next morning, Fang Jifan arrived at the Zhenguo Mansion. Fang Jifan was in charge of all the people in the Zhenguo Mansion. , all of them were convinced by Fang Jifan, and Fang Jifan, the Duke of the town, took office smoothly.

The most urgent task at the moment was, of course, the railway. Fang Jifan ordered Wang Jinyuan to draw up the detailed rules and then publish the list.

Many people were in an uproar after seeing the list.

The conditions here are really too harsh.

There are countless constraints of all kinds.

When the news was sent to the cabinet, Liu Jian was in a good mood, but when the clerk sent the list to the desk, Liu Jian’s good mood immediately came to an end.

Liu Jian told the clerk with a sullen face: “Go and call Ouyang Zhi and Wang Shouren. I want to ask their mentors what they are trying to do!”

It is inappropriate to call Fang Jifan. You can’t be too rude, otherwise What should I do if my son is killed outside?

As an old man who has lived through four dynasties and served as prime minister for more than 20 years, Liu Jian still knows how to control this degree.
