The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1887

[1887. Chapter 1796 One Emperor through the Ages]

Through the Ages Emperor Hongzhi was extremely reluctant to part with Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan.

Emperor Hongzhi was also a man with great self-control. No matter how reluctant he was, he still urged the two of them to make the trip.

A father can lose his son.

A father-in-law can quickly send his son-in-law to the ends of the earth.

But… all the subjects in the world cannot live without their king and father.

So…

the armored fleet finally set off.

The emperor personally sent it to New Qingdao.

Fang Jinglong and Fang Zhengqing also looked ashen.

Xie Qian also came with him.

The officials stood on the pier, looking at the ships that were about to set off, feeling uncomfortable in their hearts.

How they wish…that they were the ones boarding the ship!

In this way…after half a year, we can return to our hometown!

It’s a pity… Fantasy is beautiful, but reality is cruel. They are just standing at the dock now, as the people seeing off the driver!

Some people couldn’t help but have red eyes and shed tears.

The ancients were most nostalgic for their homeland.

Even though I have settled down in this Golden Continent, even if I can avoid the pain of hunger and displacement, even if my future is bright, the place that haunts me is still buried deep in my heart and has become a taboo. The place, so… All the officials and the crowd who came to see her off could not help but burst into tears at this moment. They raised their sleeves to wipe their tears, only to find that their long sleeves were soaked.

When Emperor Hongzhi saw the two men boarding the ship, he closed his eyes. He couldn’t bear to look, but he had to open his eyes again.

When the ship goes away, the people in the ship seem to have become the sustenance of the farewell people.

Even though Xie Qian and others had complained about the current emperor and regent, at this moment, their deep gaze into the distance seemed like they were leaving, taking away their longing for their homeland and slowly drifting away. .

The ship finally left everyone’s sight, and there was no trace left on the sea and sky.

Emperor Hongzhi slowly turned around and his body trembled.

All the officials bowed down one after another.

Emperor Hongzhi looked extremely powerless. He looked at everyone and opened his mouth to speak, but felt that there was no strength in his body, so he shook his head silently and smiled.

It’s just that this smile is a little weak!

…

the capital.

The disappearance of the emperor and Fang Jifan actually did not cause too many twists and turns to the court.

The ministers discovered that the emperor and Fang Jifan had gone to sea three days later.

So…all the people who received this shocking news…were surprisingly calm…

it was as if…they thought such a thing was as common as dressing and eating.

They have seen so much of the world that they don’t feel out of place at all.

Of course… after a brief moment of silence, Ouyang Zhi, the Minister of Personnel, and Wang Shouren, the Minister of War, met immediately.

After a brief exchange between the two brothers, the Minister of War ordered the new army to be on alert.

Although Wang Shouren, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, was not allowed to mobilize troops easily without orders, almost all the backbones of the new army were Wang Shouren’s disciples and former officials. The original First Army was trained by Wang Shouren himself, and the new army expanded from the First Army to the Eighth Army. At full strength, the number of people has reached 240,000, and the number of staff has also reached 240,000. 1780000.

Such large-scale military horses gradually began to replace the Beijing camp, and almost all military attaches and non-commissioned officers were the foundation of the First Army.

Because of this, this does not prevent Wang Shouren from issuing an order to station them where they are, asking them to stay on guard and take precautions before they happen.

On the other side, Ouyang Zhi immediately went to the cabinet and asked Liu Jian and Li Dongyang what they meant.

After the three parties reached an agreement, they entered the palace to meet Empress Dowager Zhang. After receiving the decree from Empress Dowager Zhang, they led hundreds of officials to rush to the East Palace to ask Prince Zhu Zaimo to supervise the country as regent.

All this can be said to be in order.

Even Zhu Zaimo… didn’t seem to think there was anything sudden. When the officials came to pay their respects, he had a calm look on his face, as if he was saying, oh, that’s it, and then , entered the palace with a tacit understanding, met his grandmother first, and then his biological mother, Queen Fang, and then came to the court to observe the government and hold court meetings.

During the court meeting, everyone had a tacit understanding.

Everyone was too lazy to mention the fact that the emperor ran away again, and just pretended that it never happened.

After a quick meeting with all the officials, the real secret discussion officially began.

If the emperor runs away, he must know how he ran away, where he ran, and whether he can come back.

So everyone discussed it privately, and after asking around, they found out that they were following the armored ship.

Immediately afterwards, the edict was issued. This matter could not be hidden, and the situation needed to be explained to the people of the world.

So the imperial court realized later and announced to the world that the current Holy Emperor, thinking of the waves in the sea, was attacked and the territory of the northern province of Franji was attacked, so he personally led the fleet to rescue it.

The edict was issued.

There were no waves.

Well, everyone is used to it.

The emperor is hunting in the west to fight against the Francois.

Then go hunting in the west, the days will pass.

Except for the large number of official documents that became more frequent as a result, everything was calm and uneventful.

Zhu Zaimo is young and energetic, and he is also handy in government affairs.

Moreover, with the help of veterans such as Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, Ouyang Zhi, Wang Shouren and Xiao Gui and Cao followed, nothing happened.

However, the imperial edict had been released for three months. Although the two capitals and fourteen provinces were at peace, the memorial from the capital of Luzon was very unsettling.

Hearing that the emperor was hunting in the west and led his fleet directly to Huanglong to fight with the Francois, Luzon was filled with excitement and people rushed to tell each other.

The gentry who had migrated to Luzon were all so excited at this moment, as if they were celebrating the New Year!

The navy that conquered Java had captured islands such as Sumatra and began to penetrate deep into the hinterland of Java. The Portuguese retreated steadily and began to build a large number of fortresses towards Sumatra and other places to hold on.

The gentry from top to bottom in Luzon contributed men and women to the naval expedition to Java. Many of their sons even joined the army and made great contributions.

If the disciples died in the battle, the bones would be sent back to Luzon, and countless people would come to greet the corpses at the port. Although there was sadness, the more… was encouragement to fight again and never allow the Francois to run rampant. .

Now the emperor is going straight to its lair. If it succeeds, it means…not to mention Java, but Sumatra, and even the entire West, and even the rumored Tianzhu, will be under the sunshine of the Ming Dynasty.

With the expansion of Java, a large number of Francois’ estates, or the estates of the old Javanese princes who had colluded with the Francois, have now changed owners. The gentry are very good at running the newly developed estates.

The emperor’s personal expedition meant an all-out war to the death. For the gentry in Luzon, this was simply a matter of universal celebration. People cheered, composed poems and eulogies, sent people to send to the court, and expressed their gratitude to the emperor. How can a person who sets an example by setting an example, personally risking a target, and be a minister of others not to give up his best efforts? In this national war, we must punish all the evil forces of Franji and fight to the end.

The memorial was sent to the cabinet.

Liu Jian looked at the pile of memorials with a confused expression.

And then… an expression that was beyond words.

Because in these memorials… there were really too many people he was familiar with.

At that time, the famous aristocratic family in Jiangnan had countless outstanding children, and they had a great influence among the scholars. Liu Jian, who was also a scholar at the time, didn’t know that he was a member of the Hanlin Academy.

But now I see them howling, reciting poems and poems, jointly submitting memorials, rushing to tell each other, and their overjoyed gestures are all reflected in this memorial…

Although Liu Jian can probably understand the reason for this, he still feels that it is too big Eye-opening!

In the eyes of these scholars, the current Holy Emperor, the escaped emperor, seemed to have become an eternal sage in a blink of an eye, a model of morality, and a saint who saved all people from water and fire.

What is even more eye-opening is Fang Jifan…

Fang Jifan, the dog… no, Fang Jifan, this guy… now seems to have become a loyal minister who cares about the country and the people, pleads for the people, is unyielding, and shows his authority for the country.

Liu Jian looked at the extremely disgusting words inside and took a deep breath.

Then he raised his head and glanced at Li Dongyang opposite.

Li Dongyang also had a meaningful expression.

The two people’s eyes touched each other, and each seemed to see through the other’s thoughts.

Immediately afterwards… the cabinet duty room once again fell into an inexplicable embarrassment.

It’s true…it’s embarrassing.

I wanted to update yesterday, but suddenly I had to change the map, and I got stuck. I sat in front of the computer for a long time. The second chapter has not been released yet. The more anxious I am, the more I don’t know how to jump in. The story is here. In fact, it is more like a simulator. After the butterfly flaps its wings, what the world will look like requires repeated consideration. Okay, no explanation, the tiger is a scumbag, the tiger continues to work hard.
