The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1834
[1834. Chapter 1744 The Bereaved Dog]
With manpower, enough money and food, and a practical direction, then…everything will be easier to handle.
Xiao Jingteng is not stupid.
He always felt that his master knew something.
Out of complete and unconditional respect for my master, whenever I had any difficulties, I would shamelessly come to see my master, hoping to get the answer from his mouth.
But the master’s temper was very perverse, and sometimes he was very angry. He would directly answer the questions he asked. Moreover, Xiao Jingteng was surprised to find that once she used the master’s answer and went back to verify it, it turned out that… the master was right.
But sometimes the questions he asked were ignored, and the master looked angry and threatened to tell him to get out of here.
Xiao Jingteng has long been accustomed to her master’s temper.
But no matter what, many obstacles were constantly eliminated under the guidance of the master.
Not only that, because there are enough manpower, these people were previously talents in engineering and mathematics. As their research on electricity deepened, they began to make achievements.
This kind of thing is nothing more than adding up a little and adding up. Gradually, the institute has opened up some situations.
As for Fang Jifan, Xiao Jingteng who came to ask for advice all day long was really annoying to him.
Regarding the so-called electricity, he is only half a bucket full of water. All his knowledge is only given by the textbooks in his previous life. To put it bluntly, he is a layman. All his memory is just some basic principles. At most… I just give Xiao Jingteng some direction. If Xiao Jingteng asked about other details, Fang Jifan couldn’t help but curse, who is doing the research?
Fang Jifan couldn’t bear to be disturbed by this, so Fang Jifan thought about it. Occasionally he would visit the research institute in person to see their research progress.
There were many people in the research institute, each with different directions. Most of them took it for granted like headless flies. Fang Jifan slapped their heads, scolded them, and then corrected their various strange ideas.
For the most part… everything went smoothly.
But at this moment… someone came to visit.
This man is a Confucian scholar.
Of course, the identity of this Confucian scholar is now extraordinary. He has now become the Young Master of the Ottoman Crown Prince, and has come to the Ming Dynasty as the left minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Of course Fang Jifan didn’t recognize him. He only glanced at the imperial edict and murmured: “Li Zheng…which onion is this? Come on, call someone in.”
Not long after, Li Zheng started walking around. Come in.
A few years ago, he was released from seclusion like a lost dog, and he was in extreme despair.
But now, five years later, he returned to the capital after a long absence. Even when he arrived in the capital, the first person he wanted to see was the Duke of Qi who kicked him out of the Ming Dynasty. No, now the Duke of Qi has become the Duke of Zhen.
Li Zheng had a smile on his face. This time around, he had experienced a transformation. Although he was not as powerful as a minister, he was still rising through the ranks and soaring into the sky.
“Student has met Lord Zhen Guo.”
Fang Jifan looked at him. This man was wearing a turban, Rushan, and looked like a mentally retarded person pretending to be a wise man. He was smiling, as if he was trying his best to calm down his emotions.
Fang Jifan said calmly: “Why do you want to see me?”
Li Zheng had already studied Fang Jifan thoroughly.
He knew Fang Jifan’s temper.
He still smiled: “I am here as an envoy under the order of the king. I just arrived in the capital of the Ming Dynasty today. I, the king of Osman, had a relationship with Duke Zhen. To this day… the king still misses Duke Zhen. He has always told the people around him that the only person who can be called a hero in the Ming Dynasty is the Duke of Zhen. However, now that he has ascended to the throne, he is busy with everything and is busy with the affairs of the country. When the student came as an envoy, the king gave many instructions to the student to meet the Duke of Zhen and say hello. He also told me to bring a letter and three carts of gifts, hoping that the Duke would accept it. “
Fang Jifan looked at Li Zheng and naturally noticed that when Li Zheng mentioned Suleiman, he couldn’t help but have a somewhat proud tone in his tone.
With that said, Li Zheng took out the letter.
Fang Jifan took the letter and saw that it was in a beautiful pavilion style.
I have to say that this Suleiman is really terrifying. In just a few years, his running script has improved so quickly, and his level of running script is actually above him. Fang Jifan took a breath and couldn’t help cursing secretly in his heart, this bitch…
I only read it briefly. In fact, most of the letters were just pleasantries.
Fang Jifan then raised his head and glanced at Li Zheng: “I didn’t expect that Brother Su’s running script has improved again. I heard that everyone in the Ottoman Kingdom learned Chinese characters and read the Four Books and Five Classics, but are there any?”
“Most of the dignitaries have begun to learn Chinese characters. “
Not only that, the emperor also opened the imperial examination and selected scholars based on the eight-legged essay.” Li Zheng looked at Fang Jifan proudly: “So, most of the wise people in the Ottoman Empire and those with ambitions studied Chinese and read the Four Books. The Five Classics and the teachings of Confucius and Mencius are filling the market. Even ordinary people can occasionally speak a few Chinese words. Although they are illiterate, they can still use Chinese to drive them. “
Fang Jifan said with emotion: “It has only been a few years. I can’t believe that Brother Su has reached this point.”
Li Zhengdao said, “Since you have the ambition to inherit the holy knowledge, it is not difficult to do it.”
Fang Jifan said, “Brother Su. Is there anything else I can do to send you here?”
Li Zheng said: “The students came to Beijing this time just to replace the previous envoys. After today, the students will be stationed in Beijing to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty on behalf of the country.”
Fang Jifan said: “It seems that Brother Su has more trust in you.”
Li Zheng still said with a smile: “The ruler is suspicious of people, but he is not suspicious of people when he employs people. As the saying goes, if the king regards his ministers as his brothers and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart and soul; if the king regards his ministers as dogs and horses, then his ministers will regard him as a fellow countryman; If you treat your ministers like dirt, then your ministers will treat you like a bandit. The student received the favor from the king and had no choice but to repay him by smashing his body into pieces.”
His implication was quite ironic.
Today, I, Li Zheng, am back again, but this time, I, Li Zheng, am not afraid of your Fang Jifan. I am now a foreign minister. At first, you regarded me, Li Zheng, as a piece of shit, but today… I, a pearl covered in dust, can still find you. To those who appreciate me, Li Zheng. What is arsenic to you is honey to him!
Speaking of this, Li Zheng seemed to be in a good mood, and he couldn’t help but feel a little proud when he thought of returning home in fine clothes.
He glanced at Fang Jifan with half-smiling eyes.
As if to say, today is different from the past.
Fang Jifan suddenly bared his teeth and said, “You bitch.”
He yelled loudly, not polite at all.
“What?” Li Zheng was stunned. He didn’t expect that Fang Jifan would turn against him on the spot.
Fang Jifan looked at Li Zheng coldly and said, “How dare you mock me?”
Obviously, Fang Jifan was angry.
Li Zheng managed to calm down and said hurriedly: “The student is not being sarcastic. The student is just here to greet the Duke on behalf of the king.”
Fang Jifan snapped: “Come here, give this bitch a good beating!”
Fang Jifan I hate this kind of person the most. Even if this person’s identity changes today, I don’t intend to give this kind of person a good look.
As soon as the order was given, someone rushed in from outside.
If you say you’re going to fall out, you’re going to fall out.
Li Zheng: “…”
He is very confused.
Li Zheng looked at Fang Jifan with an ugly face and couldn’t help but said: “Dong Zhenguo, the students are Ottoman ministers. Why should the Duke humiliate the students like this?”
Fang Jifan snorted coldly and said proudly: “Brother Su, I would have known that I had What if I beat you? You came to the capital and dared to make trouble in front of our successor. Do you think you are tired of living? Come on, slap me!”
Li Zheng was sweating profusely, anticipating all the possibilities. , but I didn’t expect that… I would actually get beaten.
The guards had already rushed in, grabbed Li Zheng unceremoniously, and slapped him down.
These guards, following Fang Jifan, have long been practiced at beating people and are very good at it.
With just one slap, Li Zheng’s teeth fell down. Li Zheng spat out the blood from his teeth and said vaguely: “I am…I am…uh…ah…”
But before he could finish his words, after a punch and kick, Li Zheng was beaten out like a lost dog.
Fang Jifan then clasped his hands behind his back and sneered: “The most disgusting thing is this kind of villain’s success. The dog thinks he has become an envoy, so he dares to act in front of me, and he doesn’t even think about it. The person I, Fang Jifan, specializes in fighting is you. This is the kind of bully who plays with a sword in front of Guan Gong’s gate.”
After that, he warned others: “Keep a close eye on this man. If he still dares to raise his tail in Beijing, I will continue to beat him next time.
” …
Ottoman embassy.
When the superiors and subordinates welcomed the new envoy, everyone was surprised.
No one expected that this Minister Li would come here with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
Although everyone was shocked, they still stepped forward to pay tribute.
Li Zheng was knocked out of his teeth. He felt frustrated and angry, but his words were leaked. He felt that he was not polite, so he couldn’t help but became angry and wanted to curse something. When the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back in his stomach.
A gentleman is good at literary fighting, not martial fighting, and he will not confront the man named Fang head-on.
So, he tried to take a deep breath, nodded to the officials, entered the embassy, had people apply medicine, and then called in several scribes.
“I came here on your Majesty’s orders for one thing. This matter is of great importance. It will clarify and strengthen our Ottoman plan. If this plan succeeds, it will be a great achievement for us.”
He spoke and sipped at the same time. Tea, I just felt that this tea had the smell of blood, I couldn’t help frowning, and then said: “In the capital, the trading houses and merchants related to us, as well as the Ottoman caravans stationed here, have to let them have something to do recently. Get ready, follow my orders, and tell them that they don’t have to come to see me these days, but they need to secretly follow my orders at all times. Starting today, I will make the people of Ming Dynasty filled with mourning.”
Li Zheng couldn’t help gritting his teeth when he said that the mourning was everywhere!
Revealing a ferocious appearance.
When he was driven out of the Ming Dynasty, he told himself that he would come back sooner or later, and when he came back, he would make everyone in the Ming Dynasty regret it.
