Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 137: plan



Chapter 137 Willing to plan

  Zhu Houzhao saw Fang Jifan\'s thief-like appearance, and suddenly became energetic.

  He hurried up to him, but as soon as he got close to Fang Jifan, he felt that Fang Jifan\'s feet smelled very bad, so he frowned!

  Fang Jifan also resisted the urge to vomit, and felt that Zhu Houzhao\'s feet were even more stinky!

  The two of them look like they dislike each other, but they also seem to be barely close!

  Fang Jifan lowered his voice: "Your Highness, King Ning, sent two jade biscuits to my minister yesterday."

  Zhu Houzhao\'s eyes widened, and said: "It\'s no wonder, everyone says that there is nothing to be courteous, and it\'s either adultery or stealing. It turns out..."

  Fang Jifan shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness, think about it, why would Prince Ning, a dignified prince, send jade to his ministers?"

Yes…

  Zhu Houzhao showed doubts, and then he figured it out, and grinned: "Actually... he wants to please me?"

"I\'m afraid it may not be to please." Fang Jifan said with a faint smile: "Maybe it is because of ulterior motives. Although it is natural for the prince to get close to the East Palace, it is rare to go to such painstaking efforts. I see, it is someone else. Have a plan."

   "Rebellion?" Zhu Houzhao spat out these two words, his body shook, his eyes lit up, and he licked his mouth excitedly.

  Dignified prince, how dare Fang Jifan slander him for treason, unless his neck is itchy!

So he quickly shook his head and said: "What exactly is he planning? I will know in the future. I don\'t dare to talk nonsense now. If people listen to it, His Majesty will definitely be furious. Impossible."

  Zhu Houzhao thinks it is reasonable. Although he sometimes likes to mess around, he is not stupid.

Daming already had a lesson learned from Zhu Yunqi, who cut down the vassals in the name of the suspected rebellion of the clan princes and county kings. As a result, several princes were killed, and even the clans in the world were all panicked. , The world is in chaos.

It is a terrible thing to easily slander the prince for rebellion. This will make hundreds of vassals in the two capitals and thirteen provinces mistakenly think that this is the beginning of cutting down the vassals. Today we are dealing with King Ning. Next, who knows? Not yourself?

   "However, I have a way, we will use our plan." Fang Jifan lowered his voice, and a deep smile appeared on his lips.

  Zhu Houzhao usually doesn’t think the matter is too big, but he is afraid of doing nothing. Hearing Fang Jifan’s words at this time, he suddenly said energetically: “How to use the plan as the plan?”

Fang Jifan said: "Since King Ning wants to buy off his ministers, doesn\'t he have eyes and ears by His Highness\'s side? If His Highness has eyes and ears, I should go back and praise His Highness King Ning more in front of Your Highness. His Royal Highness will know sooner or later, and when that time comes, he thinks that his ministers have taken advantage of him, so he will serve him wholeheartedly, so what will happen to him?"

  Zhu Houzhao shook his head frankly and said, "I don\'t know."

  Fang Jifan rolled his eyes at him, and said: "He will naturally send more treasures, and even...he must work harder to win over the humble minister."

   "Understood..." Zhu Houzhao realized later, nodded and said, "It means that we are going to get rich?"

   "Money is the second issue." Fang Jifan said with a straight face: "We don\'t talk about money, it\'s too vulgar, we are talking about national affairs."

  Zhu Houzhao was in a hurry: "But obviously he will give gifts, and if they are delivered, isn\'t it just a lot of money, Lao Fang, shouldn\'t the attendees have a share in such things?"

   "Your Highness..." Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao heartbroken and said, "It will hurt feelings to talk like this. What I want to say is..."

   "Okay, it\'s settled like this. Add two to one and make five, and fifty to five will be divided into accounts. My palace...poor..." When it comes to the word "poor", Zhu Houzhao has a heart-wrenching look, sincerely.

   I\'m really poor.

   In the past, I didn’t feel it.

  In his opinion, silver seems to be of no use, squandering...doesn\'t exist, but after getting to know Fang Jifan, seeing him making money every day and living a comfortable life, Zhu Houzhao felt that this is life.

  Fang Jifan had no choice but to nod helplessly: "Oh."

   "So... should we continue to discuss national affairs." Zhu Houzhao said excitedly: "What should we do next?"

   "I don\'t want to talk about it anymore." Fang Jifan spread his hands and said, "Your Highness, just read a few more words from King Ning!"

   After finishing speaking, Fang Jifan showed a serious look on his face, and said solemnly: "Also, you know this matter, and I know it, even the most trusted people around His Highness, don\'t tell it."

  Zhu Houzhao nodded, and said firmly: "I only believe in Lao Fang."

  …

  In the evening, Fang Jifan was content to go on duty, and just settled down when he saw Xu Jing poking his head out of the gate of the mansion.

  When Fang Jifan saw this protégé, he felt warm in his heart, better than those scumbags who only knew how to paint, write poems, or study hard.

   Seeing Fang Jifan getting off his horse, Xu Jing didn\'t say anything in front of this gate, but just bowed to Fang Jifan, and Fang Jifan nodded to him.

  The two of them walked into the hall silently in a tacit understanding. Seeing that there was no one around, Xu Jingcai said: "Just an hour ago, that man named Cao Jian came again."

  Fang Jifan sighed in his heart, it really was Liu Jin.

   It seems that Liu Jin probably did not lose the benefits of His Royal Highness Ning Wang. In fact, this is also understandable. Whether it is the eunuchs in the palace or accompanied by Zhan Shifu, which one is not the object of the emperor\'s relatives.

   But obviously, this Liu Jin is a bit deep, and King Ning probably fed him up long ago.

  In the morning, I said that King Ning was good in front of the prince, and in the afternoon, King Ning\'s staff in the capital delivered the gift.

   "What did you send?" Fang Jifan looked at Xu Jing.

   Immediately, Xu Jing took out a gift list from his sleeve: "Men, please read it."

  Fang Jifan picked it up and took a look. The gifts in the gift list can be described as dazzling, jade Ruyi, coral, pearls, ancient paintings and the like.

Fang Jifan yawned carelessly: "It\'s nothing interesting, that\'s all? Next time he comes, tell him, let\'s discount it. I, Fang Jifan, are a real person. I don\'t like these messy things. Real money is real." .”

"..." Xu Jing was a little choked, and after a long time, he couldn\'t help but said: "Men, is this inappropriate? The students have been really terrified these two days, and they are very flustered. Is this the ceremony of King Ning? Such a good harvest? If people know about it, then... besides, King Ning has repeatedly given gifts, which... must have ulterior motives. The students... feel that their conscience is disturbed."

Fang Jifan glared at him, and said, "How much is a conscience worth? You can accept it as long as you don\'t worry. Also, tell Cao Jian that as a teacher, you don\'t have any good travel tools recently, and the horses raised at home are all rough horses. Let him pick some good horses and send them over."

  Xu Jing suddenly felt his eyelids start to twitch.

  This... has developed to the point of asking for bribes, asking for bribes from the princes, my God...

  Looking at the stunned Xu Jing, Fang Jifan smiled and said: "Be happy, don\'t have any burdens, just get used to it."

  …

  Nanchang Prefecture.

   Just leaning on the mighty Ganjiang beach, there is the most famous Ying En Pavilion in Nanchang Prefecture.

  The original site of the Ying\'en Pavilion was the Tengwang Pavilion, which was built in the Tang Dynasty. After that, it was repaired several times. In the Jingtai period, the governor began to rebuild it and changed it to the Ying\'en Pavilion.

   Within a few years, Prince Ning\'s Mansion occupied this excellent location, and this place has since been opened up as a separate courtyard of Prince Ning\'s Mansion.

  Standing here, you can overlook the beachhead of the Ganjiang River, where the turbulent water flows past the Ying\'en Pavilion.

   At this time, Zhu Chenhao, who was only in his thirties, was standing on this high platform, looking at the Ganjiang River, and his heart was surging.

  Ning King Zhu Chenhao is the fifth grandson of Taizu Emperor Gao, the **** son of King Ningkang. He was named Gaowang for the first time. Because King Ningkang has no direct son, he was ordered to be King Ning just last year.

  Behind him, a scholar was slowly approaching, saying, "Your Highness, there is news from Cao Jian."

   "Read." Zhu Chenhao only spat out one word!

Standing on this high place, the strong wind blows his big sleeves, his eyes are still looking straight into the distance, as if he wants to use the limit of his eyesight to look at the river scene on the other side of the Gan River, but because of the rising water surface, there is a faint The mist, the eyesight is exhausted, is nothing but the torrent of the river.

  The tumbling white waves, sweeping the sand and sweeping down, are spectacular, and one can\'t help but be infected by the momentum of the atmosphere.

  The man with the appearance of a scholar said: "Fang Jifan, Nanhe\'s uncle, is greedy beyond measure. He is in collusion with the crown prince. Fang Jifan has accepted two important gifts to speak well in front of the crown prince..."

Zhu Chenhao twitched his eyebrows, then showed a disgusted expression, and said with a shameless mouth: "Fang Jifan, this king has heard of it, and Nanhebo\'s mansion has been in the limelight recently. His father has been in The Tianjin Guard patrolled the coastal defense, right? The Fang family has been loyal for several generations, who would have given birth to such a scum as Fang Jifan!"

The scholar pursed his lips and said with a smile: "The so-called country is about to perish, there must be evildoers. Today, His Majesty is fatuous, and the crown prince is even more notorious. People in the world have suffered from this father and son for a long time. Back then, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, wanted to usurp the world. The king is cunning, how could this world fall on such innocent people."

  Zhu Chenhao agreed greatly when he heard it, he nodded, finally retracted his gaze from the Ganjiang River, and turned to look at the scholar.

   This person is Zhu Chenhao\'s confidant and his most important counselor, named Wang Lun. Zhu Chenhao\'s ancestor, Zhu Quan, was kidnapped by the king of Yan, Zhu Di, during the Battle of Jingnan, and raised an army to Jingnan. After they agreed to succeed, the two divided the world equally. As a result, Zhu Di entered the city of Nanjing, and turned his face in a blink of an eye. Where would Zhu Quan be given the slightest chance to share the world, and with a decree, Zhu Quan was sent to Nanchang Mansion.

  For Zhu Chenhao, this incident was nothing less than a great shame and humiliation.

  He firmly believed that Zhu Di\'s descendants were all stupid and innocent, and he also believed that Daming was tossed to the brink of collapse by these faint kings and courtiers.

  …

  A new day has begun again, and the first update is here. I hope everyone will still support Tiger!
