The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1886

[1886. Chapter 1795 The Remaining Lieutenants of Fen VI]

Fang Jifan was immediately speechless.

Looking at Emperor Hongzhi, I feel that every time I have given him a high hat over the years, he always looks impatient, as if he is very unhappy with these “flattering” words. It turns out… all of this is actually What an illusion.

Sure enough…it’s just a human being.

However, some people looked happy and delighted when they heard it!

Some people are reserved and show their disdain for these complimentary words, but deep down, they are generally very useful.

Fang Jifan then smiled awkwardly, blinked, and said seriously: “Your Majesty, my ministers said every word from the bottom of my heart.”

Fang Jifan spoke very seriously, with a look of resentment in his eyes.

Emperor Hongzhi said happily: “I know, naturally I know everything, how can I not know? You are my son-in-law, I have always indulged you and valued you so much. If you are not sincere, I will find you.” Let’s settle the score.”

Xiao Jing looked up at Fang Jifan and trembled. Suddenly he felt that his life was a little more confused. Finally… he sighed softly. Life is really… boring. !

During the noon meal, a lot of potatoes, vegetables, fruits and meat were served.

Emperor Hongzhi lit the potatoes inside and said with interest: “I grew this myself, and this… Come and have a taste, come and have a taste. I am Tao Yuanming now, although I have not yet I can see Nanshan leisurely, but I am also picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence. Now… this world belongs to you young people. I don’t care about foreign affairs. It’s good to live in your old age like this.”

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan talked about eating, and they talked about it forever. They all showed their teeth and claws, never having enough to eat, devouring everything like the wind blowing away the clouds, or the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves. After feasting, they unilaterally declared victory over the dishes.

Seeing that both Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan enjoyed their meals, Emperor Hongzhi felt satisfied.

He still looked at Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan dotingly. Xiao Jing served him tea. He took a sip and said: “If it were at this time, your queen mother, Xiurong, Zaimo, Tianci and the others would also be there.” How great would it be…”

At this point, there was a smile on his face just now, but in the blink of an eye, his eyes suddenly turned red, and his voice became hoarse as he said the good words.

When Xiao Jing saw this, he immediately handed Zhu Youtang the scarf with fear. Zhu Youtang raised his hand to push the scarf away, and then said seriously: “No, no! This is human nature, I… I’m a bit out of control… When people reach this age, don’t they just want their families to be reunited, and their children and grandchildren to be around? …”

As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed.

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said: “Father, why not…Father, let’s go back with your son.”

“Go back?” Zhu Youtang shook his head: “If I go back, will so many people follow me and cause trouble for you? I …and people like Xie Qian, we…are all old, I mean…not just old, but up and down, starting from me, and then to all the officials, whatever I think, They are rotten things. I will not let them cause trouble for you. You are young and have great ambitions. What you want to do must be unprecedented, and it is not the same as me and the officials who are accompanying you. Going back is just to cause trouble for you. I can’t let them become a burden to you, and they will be useless! But I brought the officials here in the first place, should I just leave them behind? They were once my humerus ministers and worked hard for me. They are no longer useful, just like I am no longer useful now. I… brought them here for the sake of my children and grandchildren, just to not ask for your favor. I can’t leave without causing trouble for you, and I can’t leave them alone.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao felt a sore nose and didn’t know what to say.

Although he was careless most of the time, why didn’t he understand what his father had done for him?

Fang Jifan couldn’t help but be moved by what Emperor Hongzhi did, so he said, “Next time I come to visit the feudal lord, I will try every means to build a big ship to send the Empress Dowager Zhang and her family members!”

Looking at Fang Jifan’s confident look, Hongzhi said The emperor smiled, and then said: “It will be a little later. Life here is still a bit harsh. Your queen mother has followed me a long time ago. She has never suffered hardship in her life. She can’t teach you when she is old. She deserves this.”

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan were silent. The emperor thought of others and ended up suffering for himself, but could they object?

In the past few days, Emperor Hongzhi braved the snow and wore heavy fox fur clothes to see some of the fields that Emperor Hongzhi had opened up with his officials, as well as the huge trees that the guards had cut down to build houses next year.

Emperor Hongzhi seems to be very satisfied with this. He seems to have spent his whole life working hard and never took a break. Now that he is here… he does not feel tired, but no longer works hard. Occasionally he will do something within his power. Physical work!

With him setting an example, what else could the officials and guards do, so they had no choice but to work together honestly.

Of course, a large amount of labor was inevitably recruited. After all… the real menial work did not involve these pampered monarchs and ministers.

Emperor Hongzhi went up a hill and looked at the simple city, while Zhu Houzhao was riding a horse and having fun in the snow.

Fang Jifan was naturally the least moved. He was accompanying Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi was wearing a scarlet cloak. In the cold wind, the wrinkles on his face were like knife carvings, but he still felt energetic!

Emperor Hongzhi said: “Sir, whether it’s the Ming Dynasty, Franji, Osman, or Tianzhu, they all believe that there must be a carefree place in this world, which is the human world. Heaven, I want to know what this kind of paradise on earth looks like.”

Fang Jifan thought for a moment and said, “Your Majesty, I saw that the Fang family’s descendants were cultivating here in Huanghuangzhou, so they had a house to shelter from the wind and rain. , with cattle and horses for traveling and farming, and enough farmland for them to have enough food and clothing, Erchen was thinking that this might be a paradise on earth for them now, a place where people who are hungry and cold can have a full stomach. It is a paradise on earth. If a person who is hungry and cold can have enough food and clothing for his family, it would be the happiest thing…”

“So…”

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan meaningfully: “So your brain disease is just a fiction, isn’t it?”

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly pointed it out, which immediately made Fang Jifan at a loss. Fang Jifan immediately wailed: “Your Majesty, my son is real. …”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: “You are still afraid, what are you afraid of? I will not eat you. I only have one son and one daughter. I only want my children to be safe. Xiurong followed you. , your descendants are Xiurong’s bloodline, and they are also my bloodline. In this world, except for Houzhao, no one is closer to me than you and Xiurong. You are also my closest relative, otherwise how could I condone you? What about now? It doesn’t matter if you are sick or not.”

Fang Jifan then fell silent.

Zhu Youtang said: “In a few days, you have to return home as soon as possible. The Ming Dynasty… can’t do without the emperor, and it can’t do without you for the time being. I am very happy that you are here. I am not happy that you are here… accompanying me. Zisheng, but… I can be content here, but you can’t. Some people are born differently, let’s say Hou Zhao. He was born with rich clothes and good food, and he had countless great scholars teaching him knowledge and countless people serving him. Looking at him, are these… all for nothing? It depends on… the remaining blessings and favors of his ancestors, but there is no innate blessing in this world, and he should not take it for granted. Enjoy it to your heart’s content. What the ancestors left to him is the country, a century-old inheritance, and an inescapable responsibility. You’d better return quickly and don’t stay here. You still have a lot to do. Thing! Look at Houzhao, he was riding a horse, holding a bow and arrow and shot a gray rabbit to death in the snow, and then danced with joy, but there are many more important things in the world than hunting rabbits…”

At this time, But I saw Zhu Houzhao coming on a flying horse, happily carrying a rabbit, and shouted: “Father, Lao Fang, look, I have hunted a rabbit, and we can kill the teeth again at night.”

Uh, this Is it just for the occasion?

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao with a speechless expression…
