The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1879

[1879. Chapter 1789: Power over the world]

but Fang Jinglong felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He couldn’t imagine how such a great minister of the Fang family could escape unscathed.

In his opinion, this so-called regent of Golden Continent is almost like a hot potato.

This is a hidden danger that is about to destroy the family.

Historically, ministers, such a highly respected minister, or Cao Cao, have usurped the power of the world. Therefore, they have no scruples and can transcend all ministers. The trend is to go to the palace with swords and shoes, but today is the Ming Dynasty.

Since Emperor Taizu Gao of the Ming Dynasty, the status of the royal family has been extremely solid. Even if there are occasional favorites and powerful ministers, they can only be taken down by the emperor’s decree. Think about what great achievements Yu Qian made back then, and how many people were convinced. Isn’t it better to just ask for guilt?

The achievements of the current Fang family can certainly be compared with Yu Qian who turned the tide after the Tumubao Incident, defended the capital, and saved the Ming Dynasty, but how could Yu Qian ever receive such favor from the emperor?

Fang Jinglong was born in an aristocratic family. The ancestors of the Nanhe House were all following the emperors of the Ming Dynasty to make contributions. They had seen the rise and fall of this wealthy family. Although they were loyal and loyal, they had always instilled in their descendants. There is a principle, that is, no matter how much credit you have made or how many meritorious achievements you have established, you must also remember the principle that when the moon is full, it will lose, and when the water is full, it will overflow. You must not get carried away and remember your duty.

But the emperor suddenly issued such an edict. Isn’t this the same as making the Fang family the first prince in the world? His status and authority were unprecedented in the Ming Dynasty.

Fang Jinglong felt extremely flustered at this time.

The most speechless thing is that his stupid son actually agreed.

He was distraught.

Immediately, I ordered people to change the palace of Prince Qi into a palace and invite the emperor to stay here!

On the other side, Fang Jifan was pulled to a small hall, and the two father and son had a secret conversation: “Jifan, my father is happy to see that you are safe. Our father and son have not seen each other for many years. Alas…”

He sighed, Then he said: “As long as you are safe, my father will be satisfied. Since you came out of your mother’s womb, you were only the size of a mouse. You have been weak and sick since you were a child. The moment my father held you in his arms, I felt so happy in my heart.” I think, in this life, I, Fang Jinglong, do not expect you to perform the feats of our ancestors, nor do I expect you to have any foresight, nor do I expect you to revitalize the family business. There is only one thing, that you can be safe and sound as a father. That’s enough.”

Fang Jifan: “…”

He knew there was something in his father’s words.

But these words still moved Fang Jifan a little. He must have felt sorry for the parents in the world.

Fang Jinglong added: “But since then, you have made a lot of contributions. Of course, my father is very happy. But in these years, my father has been very nervous every day, walking on thin ice! In this Golden Continent, I feel extremely scared. People Well, the higher you stand, the harder you are likely to fall. It’s cold at high places. You are still young, so you may not understand it. You are an old father. Come to think of it, you won’t live for more than a few years. Even if a disaster is imminent, this In this life… I have no regrets, but… you are still young, Zhengqing and Tianci are still young. What your father fears most is waiting for the day when your father goes to the west. What disaster will happen to you, father and son… if so. “My father will not be able to rest in peace even if he dies!”

“My father does not covet the position of regent, but why do you want to accept it? Although the current emperor has no scheming intentions and is a brother-in-law with you, how many ministers are there? Seeing that his eyes are hot, this…”

Fang Jifan said hurriedly: “Father, it’s not that my son has to accept it, but he must accept it.” Looking at Fang Jifan’s helpless look,

Fang

Jinglong blew his beard and glared: “What are you saying?”

Knowing that his father has always been cautious, how could he be calm at this time? So he paused and said: “The Fang family has come to this point. How many people’s livelihoods are now affected? So many people named Fang in Huanghuangzhou rely on our Fang family to thrive. In Xishan Academy, so many people Disciples…the future lies with our Fang family. How many of those merchants are watching our actions? Even if the father wants to retreat, the son also wants to retreat, but other people…they don’t worry about our Fang family retreating. If we retreat, these hundreds of thousands of Fang family members will definitely be in panic. Who will protect them in the future? Although the son is sometimes crazy and makes his father worry a lot, the son is also a responsible person. The so-called good person will always do his best. Sending Buddha to the West, we have sent so many relatives here, should we just abandon it and ignore it?”

Fang Jinglong was silent after hearing this!

Fang Jifan added: “If we don’t act as regent, and those clansmen have higher titles than us, we will never be able to control them. This Golden Continent will inevitably leave hidden dangers. Sooner or later, conflicts will arise. Do we really need to eradicate them?” Are these clan members a sinner? Or…are they waiting for the clan members to exterminate our Fang family and put all the hundreds of thousands of relatives in danger?”

“…”

“The current emperor? Wisely, he knows that some things must be taken up, and some things must be put down. My father does not want to be criticized for being unworthy of a human being. But has he ever thought about why the emperor was so young when he was still a prince? How many people can sweep away Mobei? How many people… have led troops all their lives, and they are considered veterans. They have also been troubled by the Mobei Tatars, but the emperor can command the enemy in Mobei like a panicked dog. Father? What I am worried about is His Majesty’s thoughts. He thinks that His Majesty’s move is to put our Fang family at the forefront. But in my opinion, Your Majesty’s move is extremely clever. If you don’t solve this issue of status today, this issue will not be solved. If this problem is passed on to future generations, then… …Maybe it was internal and external troubles, and they were fighting against each other, and brothers, teachers and students were killing each other.”

After Fang Jifan patiently analyzed it, Fang Jinglong couldn’t help but feel moved.

At this time, Fang Jifan stretched out and said with a laugh: “So I have thought about it. I am determined to be better to my clan members. These bitches must bring them to make a fortune together. Not only that, but also to get married. When Tianci grows up, he will need to find a daughter from his clan in Golden Continent. What a pity, what a pity, how could Zhengqing get married in such a confused way…”

Fang Jinglong smiled awkwardly. Although he still felt that the words of the successor were a little unsafe, he still felt that he was not safe. Feeling a little relieved, he thought for a moment and said, “When this news comes out, I’m afraid the clan members will be in an uproar.”

Fang Jifan said: “This is easy. I will go and see them right now, show them my righteousness, and let them know that we are one family. In this way… they will have nothing to say. Zhu will not leave Fang, and Fang will not leave Zhu.”

The news from Golden Continent…is inherently fast. After all…there is no airtight wall in the world.

The emperor’s decree has just come out.

Those clan members who lived in Xinqingdao as apartments had planned to go see the driver the next day, but were frightened by the news.

Your Majesty…this is really…

they are all princes and princes.

Superior status.

What flows in their veins is the blood of Emperor Taizu Gao. They have always been pampered and privileged. No one can be above them except the emperor.

So even though he didn’t dare to become a vassal in the fiefdom and came to this new Qingdao to enjoy the peace and happiness, he was still somewhat… looking down on others.

In this new Qingdao, no one dares to provoke them.

As for Fang Jinglong… Although this place is the fiefdom of the Fang family, Fang Jinglong is a low-key and cautious person, and he has always been careful with his clan members, so… in the hearts of the clan members… he is still number one. As for the Fang family, they can only be ranked second. two.

But in the blink of an eye, everything was turned upside down.

Many people have come to Xingwangbiefu in New Qingdao.

His Royal Highness King Xing is the half-brother of the emperor, and the uncle of the current emperor. Among the clan members, he has the closest relationship with the royal family. His son Zhu Houcong was granted the title of county king early on.

Now, everyone is gathered in Prince Xing’s Mansion, even a few old clan members who usually don’t care about worldly affairs are here.

Everyone is like ants on a hot pot.

Xingwang Zhu Youqi had a mellow temperament and looked honest and courteous.

But some people are like chicken blood.

“Why did the Emperor do this? Are we royals not as close as Fang Jifan in His Majesty’s heart? Prince Xing, you are His Majesty’s uncle, this matter… cannot be ignored…”

As we all know, the book is coming to an end, so it is very laborious to write. Please bear with me.
