The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1877

[1877. Chapter 1787 Reward]

In the blink of an eye.

Fang Jinglong had already arrived on horseback. He jumped off the horse and rushed to Fang Jifan with almost a sprint, holding Fang Jifan in his arms.

But in an instant, he hesitated in his steps, and he bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said: “I… I have met your Majesty. I am late to welcome you. If you are not able to greet you from a distance, you will die.”

His voice was choked and trembling when he spoke. Although he was saluting Zhu Houzhao, However, his eyes subconsciously looked in the direction of Fang Jifan.

My son… is still the same.

It seems that he really hasn’t suffered anything.

That’s good, that’s reassuring.

Fang Zhengqing, dressed in military uniform, also followed his grandfather’s example and prostrated himself on the ground.

Zhu Houzhao nodded to them: “You came just in time, I was talking about you, haha, my nephew is here, little one, he has grown so big, are you married yet?”

“Yes.” Fang Zhengqing said.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly had a look of regret on his face: “Ah, we got married so early. Could it be that we also gave birth to a child?”

“Your Majesty is really clever and lucky. I originally wanted to write a book to announce the good news to my father. Unexpectedly, there was good news over there. , His Majesty’s Holy Chariot is here.”

Zhu Houzhao looked even more regretful: “You little bitch”

and then glanced at Fang Jinglong, whose face was not very good-looking. Zhengqing is a bitch, so my son is a bitch, wouldn’t I be an old bitch? This is scolding a bald donkey in front of a monk. It’s okay for you to scold an old minister. Don’t scold my son and grandson.

But Zhu Houzhao touched Fang Zhengqing’s head affectionately and sighed: “Fang Qing’s family, please get up quickly. You are my uncle and you are not young. Get up and talk. Oh my God, but I came here without warning, so you are right for not coming to greet me. I cannot blame you. I have seen this Golden Continent, but it is very peaceful. This is all your fault. “Thanks to the contributions of our ancestors and grandsons, your Fang family is really loyal and loyal, guarding the border town for our Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, how can the imperial court manage Huangjinzhou?”

He personally helped Fang Jinglong up.

Fang Jifan looked at it and said in his heart: “When did your Majesty learn to be hypocritical? He was still saying that the Fang family would become a hidden danger to the court sooner or later in the future, but he turned around and said with a smile that the whole family is loyal.”

Naturally, Fang Jifan was not Fool.

What His Majesty just said to himself were words from the bottom of his heart. These words should not be put on the table. Now that he has said them, it means that Zhu Houzhao has no secrets for himself, but for others, these words are natural. will not say.

This can be considered scheming.

His Majesty’s emotional intelligence is low, but his IQ is still pretty good.

Fang Jinglong stood up and said: “What virtues and abilities I have, I deserve your majesty’s praise. I am here because of the grace of your majesty and the imperial court. With the imperial court as my backer, I am able to accomplish something.”

Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly: “It has only been more than ten years, but I have never thought that it would look like this. Let’s go and find a horse. I’m hungry. Have you prepared a banquet for me?”

Prince

Qi’s Mansion is in Xin. Among Qingdao, the reason why Qingdao chose this place to build the city was quite a bit because the King of Qi wanted to guard the border.

After all, the biggest disaster in the fiefdom at the moment must be enemies from the sea. As for the natives on the mainland, they are not a concern.

Next to Prince Qi’s Mansion is Xishan Academy.

The academy occupies a huge area and is almost an exact copy of the academy in the capital.

Fang Jifan was the great master of the academy. He took advantage of this position to encourage his disciples and grandsons to come to Golden Continent to make contributions. On the other hand, he also sent a large number of disciples and disciples here in the name of exchanges.

Therefore… Xishan Academy in Golden Continent is by no means empty, a large number of talented students come here one after another. Some outstanding academicians and bachelors also give lectures here. The outstanding talents in various subjects are not comparable to the academies in the capital, but they also have higher abilities.

Even the Xishan Branch of Huanghuangzhou would send people to the Ming Dynasty to recruit students. Many people were not able to enter Xishan Academy in the capital, so they settled for the next best thing. In order to enter the academy, they simply were recruited by the branch of Huanghuangzhou. They were here After completing their studies, they have become accustomed to the life in Golden Continent. In order to put their knowledge to use, they all stayed. Some entered various walks of life, while others stayed in schools to teach.

In addition, the Fang family continued to invest a large amount of funds. Compared with the highly competitive Capital Academy, many people felt that Golden Continent was more suitable for research.

Near the Academy is where the entire Qi State is governed, because everything here is created from scratch, and there are not many redundant officials and personnel like those in the Ming Dynasty. The officials recruited are all talents cultivated by the New School. Quite responsible.

Fang Jinglong welcomed Zhu Houzhao into the palace and entered the Silver Palace of King Qi. He immediately invited Zhu Houzhao to ascend his throne, and then sent officials and others to come to see him. Then he served wine and food. Zhu Houzhao ate and drank a lot, and said happily: ” But I don’t know if there are any difficulties in this country? If there are any difficulties, you can come and tell me, and I will help solve the problems for the Qing family.”

Fang Jinglong hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head: “Your Majesty, everything is fine here. I dare you to help your majesty.”

Zhu Houzhao said in a heartless manner.

Fang Jifan saw that his father’s brows were slightly worried, but he remained silent.

Zhu Houzhao sighed at this time and said: “The emperor is also in Huanghuangzhou. I have long issued an order to order your family to take care of him. I wonder how the emperor is doing now?”

Fang Jinglong said: “Every year during festivals, I will bring officials and others to pay homage. The emperor is here. “This is a great achievement

.

” Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows and said, “I will take a day off and set off to see the emperor in person. The Qing family has done a great job in taking care of the emperor… Let’s see… …”

Zhu Houzhao was silent for only a moment, and suddenly took out the sword he carried with him from his waist: “This is my sword. It has never left me. I also pointed it to kill a few more thieves. It is a pity that in this world, There is no one left for me to kill. Even if there are some thieves, they are not worthy of me personally beheading him. Since it is useless, then I will give it to Lao Fang. Lao Fang, I will give this sword to your Fang family. , From now on, you must treat it well, this sword is like my daughter, it is my heart and soul.”

After that, he handed the sword to Liu Jin.

Liu Jin was stunned.

He looked at Zhu Houzhao in confusion.

He felt more and more that Zhu Houzhao’s trip to Huangjin Continent was not easy.

Liu Jin knew Zhu Houzhao best.

Although this emperor who grew up serving him may be thought of as idle, he is actually extremely smart, but his intelligence is not used in the right place.

He bowed, held the sword, went down to the Silver Palace, and handed it over to Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan took it and put it on his waist: “Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me the sword.”

Zhu Houzhao said again: “I gave you all the swords, but I didn’t give you a title. Now, the world is settled. , not to mention the unity of the four seas, but now, my Ming Dynasty has no external troubles. Those stupid people…may not understand, or…they know it and deliberately pretend not to know. But my heart is like a mirror, and the Ming Dynasty can flourish in this world. Extremely so, most of it is due to your Majesty, Fang Jifan, well, don’t be humble…”

Seeing Fang Jifan about to speak, Zhu Houzhao knew that at this time, Fang Jifan would once again say that this was all due to His Majesty. He pressed his hands and interrupted Fang Jifan: “Listen to what I have to say first. Most of this is due to you, Fang Jifan. If the Emperor and I didn’t have you, how could we have the prosperous Ming Dynasty today? This world-famous guest, Hainan You, Fang Jifan, deserve the most credit for Yan Heqing. When I invited you to board the armored ship to defeat all the navies in the world, I said that if you succeeded, you, Fang Jifan, would be the first to take the credit. You see… I should take all the credit for so much. It’s good to be rewarded, otherwise, wouldn’t it be heartbreaking to not be rewarded for meritorious service? I have decided to reward you heavily, today…”

After hearing this, Fang Jinglong was the first to become worried.

My father and son are already very human ministers, and His Majesty suddenly wants to reward them. This… reward is beyond reward.

Fang Jinglong is also a person who has read history books, and he knows that reaching this point may not be a good thing, and disaster may be coming.

On the contrary, Fang Jifan looked calm, blinked, looked at Zhu Houzhao, and said to himself, as long as he didn’t give him millions of gold.
