Chapter 130: advice to the queen



Chapter 130 Advice to the queen

  Emperor Hongzhi would not easily agree to Zhu Houzhao\'s request.

  At this time, Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan, and said: "After the guest troops from all walks of life are familiar with the climate of Yunnan and Guizhou, the good news will come."

Emperor Hongzhi obviously didn\'t have much interest in horse politics. In fact, in history, the Hongzhi Dynasty was considered peaceful, but in terms of military affairs, it was far weaker than other emperors. This point is obviously in line with Emperor Hongzhi\'s character There is a great relationship.

   Now that he is here, he still hopes that the imperial army will be able to defeat the enemy quickly after they gradually become familiar with their opponents.

  Fang Jifan somewhat understood Emperor Hongzhi\'s temperament, but he said: "I don\'t know if I should say something, but I said it bluntly..."

   He was only halfway through speaking, but the faces of Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian suddenly changed.

  This guy is a crow\'s mouth, you should say it properly, and you want to say it bluntly...

   "Okay!" Emperor Hongzhi interrupted Fang Jifan without hesitation, and said directly: "You don\'t need to talk!"

   "..." Fang Jifan said with a bitter face as if he had eaten a fly: "Your Majesty, I still want to say..."

   "Wait a little longer, wait and see!" Emperor Hongzhi was quite speechless!

  People in this era, more or less, still believe in strange powers and gods. Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "Unexpectedly, you are still familiar with horse politics, very good..."

It has to be said that Emperor Hongzhi admired this kid more and more. He glanced sideways at Zhu Houzhao again, feeling a little depressed in his heart. Then, he coughed: "I still have something to discuss with Liu Qing\'s family, Fang Jifan, you Go with the prince to say hello to the queen, she is thinking of you."

  Obviously, the emperor was determined not to let him speak any more, Fang Jifan sighed inwardly, and had to leave with Zhu Houzhao.

  As soon as he came out of the warm pavilion, Zhu Houzhao immediately lost his voice: "Old Fang, you are really amazing."

  Looking at Zhu Houzhao\'s adoring eyes, Fang Jifan said expressionlessly: "Where, it\'s just a little bit powerful."

   This voice inevitably entered the Snapper.

  Emperor Hongzhi shook his head, glanced at Liu Jian and the others, and his face sank: "We must prepare for the worst, and make a decree to order the Guizhou government in Yunnan to try out a mountain camp."

   "Your Majesty..." Liu Jian said with a smile on his face: "Since Your Majesty has such a heart, why didn\'t you just say it, but wait for Fang Jifan to leave."

  Emperor Hongzhi took a deep look at Liu Jian, and said with a strange expression: "This kid, if I listen to his advice on everything, wouldn\'t his tail be up to the sky?"

  Liu Jian couldn\'t help laughing.

  ………

   Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan naturally went to pay their respects to Empress Zhang. When the two arrived at Qianning Palace, they heard a voice begging for mercy from the main hall of Qianning Palace: "Sister, please forgive me, no wonder our brothers..."

   Then, someone went in to report, and after a while, a female official invited them in.

  Fang Jifan stepped into the main hall, and saw Empress Zhang with a gloomy face, gnashing her teeth, not at all dignified and graceful as usual, while the two brothers of the Zhang family knelt at Empress Zhang\'s feet and begged for mercy.

  I saw Empress Zhang sternly said: "Just to fight for a piece of land with the Zhou family, and even hurt someone? You... are so presumptuous!"

   "The land belongs to our family, sister, our Zhang family\'s land." Although Zhang Heling begged for mercy, he was obviously not convinced, and subconsciously replied.

  Fang Jifan actually understood after listening to it from the sidelines that the so-called land dispute was the Zhou family again, so... nine out of ten, it was a lawsuit caused by the Zhang family brothers in history.

  This lawsuit was recorded in the Ming Records, which shows the seriousness of the problem.

   This pair of Zhang family brothers are really well-known living treasures in history. When Emperor Hongzhi was still around, they were usually ostentatious, but there was a public case, which made Emperor Hongzhi completely disappointed with them.

The issue of this public case lies with the Zhou family. The Zhou family is also a foreign relative, and their background is even bigger than the Zhang family. They are relatives of the Zhou family, the empress dowager. The empress dowager is the grandmother who raised Emperor Hongzhi with her own hands. In Emperor Hongzhi\'s heart, how important it is!

   But what about this pair of live treasures, they ran to compete with the Zhou family for land, and even injured someone.

Saying that these two people are mentally handicapped, there is really no problem at all, so that later, their nephew Zhu Houzhao became the throne. Logically speaking, Queen Zhang is such a son, and she has the kindness to raise Zhu Houzhao. In the end, these two guys even irritated Zhu Houzhao, pointed at their noses and scolded them, and they must be killed. If Queen Zhang didn\'t try her best to stop them, I\'m afraid this A pair of living treasures have long been chopped into meat sauce.

What\'s even more disgusting is that during the Jiajing period, when Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne, the trend had obviously changed drastically, but the two brothers thought they were still as vigorous as they were during the Hongzhi and Zhengde years, and they didn\'t know how to restrain themselves, so that Emperor Jiajing directly banned them Marquis Shou Ning, when Queen Zhang passed away, he directly slaughtered the Zhang family brothers.

Although Emperor Jiajing was ruthless, his stomach was full of schemes and schemes. It would not be a big problem to keep a pair of Zhang family\'s trash. After all, they were just dogs in the water. There was really no need to kill them. He insisted on killing it quickly, so that he was evaluated as \'so cool, rare in the world\'.

  It means that your Jiajing had the support of Empress Zhang at any rate, so that you were able to overcome the great rule, but once Empress Zhang died, killing her brother was too heartless and ungrateful.

  Emperor Jiajing is still the same, knowing that there will be such consequences, he still does not change his original intention. Apart from showing the coldness of Emperor Jiajing, it is actually not unrelated to the stupid tricks of the Zhang brothers.

   "You!" Empress Zhang was obviously very angry at this time, and snapped: "Now, do you still want to argue? Get out, get out!"

  The Zhang family brothers hesitated for a while, but they didn\'t dare to make mistakes. They got up in a hurry, and ran away.

Empress Zhang was still angry, but when Zhu Houzhao heard that the Zhang family had beaten the Zhou family, the Empress Dowager was also extremely doting on him. He had a better impression of the Zhou family, so he couldn\'t help saying angrily: "Mother, Shouning Hou and Jian Chang Bo really deserves to die, he should be taught a lesson."

  When Queen Zhang heard this, her phoenix eyes were filled with shock!

She obviously never imagined that her son would despise her two brothers to such an extent that she used words like damn, and couldn\'t help crying: "Hou Zhao, your two uncles are certainly not up to date, but After all, they are uncles of the country, hey... I really spoiled them..."

   On the surface, there is both self-blame and pain.

   Seeing his mother was sad, Zhu Houzhao couldn\'t talk too much, so he just snorted coldly.

  Empress Zhang managed to regain her composure, and then she noticed Fang Jifan. Fang Jifan bowed to Empress Zhang, and Empress Zhang managed to smile a little, saying, "So Jifan is here too."

   "Yes..." It\'s hard for Fang Jifan to say anything about Queen Zhang\'s family affairs, but this young master is not stupid at all.

But unexpectedly, Empress Zhang took a deep look at Fang Jifan: "I heard from Houzhao that you are a very thoughtful person, the Zhou family, you know, that is the empress dowager\'s natal family. The two incompetent brothers actually beat a nephew of the Empress Dowager. Tell me, what should we do about it? Although Renshou Palace has not blamed it yet, I understand that the Empress Dowager must be upset. Just give Ben Gong some ideas on what to do."

  Empress Zhang looked at Fang Jifan deeply, and there seemed to be different expectations in her phoenix eyes.

  Fang Jifan\'s heart trembled.

   Shouted in my heart, Zhu Houzhao, you f*cked me up.

  Where do you have any ideas, what are you pulling me into the water for?

   But it seems that Queen Zhang has already had some expectations for herself.

  And what she asked was not so simple, it was not just about how good this matter was.

   Instead…

  The brothers of the Zhang family beat up the members of the Zhou family. The Zhou family will definitely retaliate. The empress dowager is not a vegetarian either. How could that woman who has lived through three dynasties allow her family to be bullied?

   Then, the next thing is that the Zhou family, with the support of the Empress Dowager, will teach the Zhang family brothers a lesson.

   What do you want, this matter should be brought to court by His Majesty.

   Regardless of the deep relationship between His Majesty and Empress Zhang, Your Majesty is also a pure and filial person. He obeyed the Empress Dowager, and the Zhang family was wrong about this matter. His Majesty will be furious at that time, even if this family is protected by Queen Zhang, it is guaranteed that they will not have a good life.

  Furthermore, many censors were already dissatisfied with the Zhang family brothers. The power of the Zhou family in the court is no small matter. These two brothers are just waiting to be caught.

  Queen Zhang asked how things were going well on the surface, but actually said, is there any room for improvement in this matter? Although this pair of brothers made Empress Zhang vomit blood in anger, they were still brothers after all, and Empress Zhang still wanted to protect her shortcomings.

Can…

  Saving people? How to save this? Take your head to the rescue!

  After all, Queen Zhang\'s brother is a brother, but the empress dowager\'s nephew, isn\'t it a nephew?

  Empress Zhang protects her brother, the empress dowager\'s nephew was beaten, can she still swallow her anger?

  This kind of thing is a messy account, I am afraid that the future of the palace may not be peaceful.

  Fang Jifan neither wanted to save the Zhang family brothers nor dared to fall into this pit, after all...

  Fang Jifan knew one thing very well. Although the Empress Dowager has been living in the Renshou Palace, she is like a great devil in terms of identity. She is afraid that if she squeezes her hand, the Fang family will be wiped out.

  Seeing Fang Jifan\'s embarrassed face, Queen Zhang sighed.

  The emperor must be hopeless, and even the crown prince is now alienated from his brothers, and none of the civil and military courts have a good impression of the Zhang brothers.

   This is undoubtedly besieged on all sides, is there really no way out?
