Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty
Chapter 138： Gift for the Empress Dowager
Chapter 138 A Gift for the Empress Dowager
Obviously, what Wang Lun said was exactly what Zhu Chenhao wanted!
He smiled coldly and said: "That\'s right, that\'s exactly the case. Today\'s prince is really immoral, and today\'s prince is even more ridiculous. Look at Fang Jifan next to him, who is notorious and angry with everyone, but such a treacherous person It is said that the villain is loved by the emperor and the crown prince, so we can see how miserable the people of the world have become."
Zhu Chenhao\'s eyes shone brightly, and he said with high spirits: "This Fang Jifan...is a good move."
Wang Lun looked at Zhu Chenhao cautiously: "Your Highness means..."
"Wouldn\'t it be wonderful if such a greedy and wicked young man could be used by this king? Think about it, this person\'s father, Fang Jinglong, is also considered a general. If he can win over his son, his old man, he will be able to win over him in the future." If you don’t go against it, it won’t work. Fang Jifan is so close to the crown prince, as long as he satisfies his appetite, he will definitely speak well for the king in front of His Majesty and the crown prince at any time. Such a fool can’t be found even with a lantern..."
Speaking of this, Zhu Chenhao seemed even more complacent, and continued: "With such a fool, there is no need to worry. Xiushu... Tell Cao Jian that Fang Jifan\'s requirements are all satisfied. If there is no other, I just have money. "
Zhu Chenhao\'s confidence is not unreasonable. His feudal land is in Jiangxi. Jiangxi is a land of fish and rice. Nanchang Mansion, Shanggao, Yichun, and Gao\'an are also his feudal lands. Within the feudal lands, there are quite a few A lot of copper mountains make this Ning Wangfu rich and powerful.
Historically, King Ning’s Mansion raised a guard of more than 30,000 people, and also secretly raised tens of thousands of thieves, so that when they rebelled, they immediately assembled nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, which shows that King Ning’s family background is deep.
"Student understands, student is writing books." Wang Lun made a bow, he thought for a while, but he was worried, so he frowned and said: "The Fang family, it was difficult to start with Jing, and Fang Jinglong was even more loyal to the court. Then Fang Jifan...seriously...would willingly serve His Highness..."
"What do you know?" Zhu Chenhao glared at him, and said: "Fang Jifan, I have already ordered someone to inquire secretly, and such a small thief who is obsessed with interests can make him submit willingly by using a little trick alone. .”
Wang Lun nodded, and finally said: "Then, the student understands."
…
In Fang Jifan\'s Xishan, the three experimental fields for cultivating sweet potatoes have already received harvest in this scorching weather.
In matters such as raising seedlings, some screening must be done, and the most robust sweet potatoes that do not seem to have suffered from pest damage must be selected and continued to breed. As for the others, they have to eat them.
The taste of this sweet potato is not bad, because he harvested hundreds of catties, Fang Jifan took some crooked melons and dates back home, ordered someone to cook them in a pot, and made porridge, but he himself refused to eat them first. God knows what kind of sweet potato is in this era, so it\'s better not to have trouble eating it.
So the five disciples were called together, and sweet potato porridge was placed on each person\'s desk.
"Let\'s eat." Fang Jifan had a rare and pleasant expression.
Xu Jing looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose. He sat there dumbfounded.
Ouyang Zhi, Liu Wenshan, and Jiang Chen seemed to know their mentors well, and they also seemed to hesitate. You look at me, I look at you, and they didn\'t move their chopsticks lightly.
Tang Yin was still innocent, and said gratefully: "Thank you, teacher, for giving me the porridge."
After finishing speaking, Tang Yin lowered his head seriously and began to move his chopsticks.
Then everyone looked at Tang Yin cautiously, only to see Tang Yin let out a breath, and slowly put the yellow-orange sweet potato into his mouth. He immediately felt a sweet fragrance in the porridge, and his expression immediately relaxed. Tastes great.
"Yeah... delicious, delicious, eat quickly, eat quickly... why don\'t you move your chopsticks."
But still no one moved their chopsticks.
Everyone feels that even if it is intestinal poison, it may take some time before it will take effect.
Tang Yin didn\'t seem to see everyone\'s weirdness, and said very sincerely: "It\'s really delicious, teacher, you can eat it too."
Fang Jifan smiled, with an inscrutable look, shook his head and said: "I have eaten it for my teacher, Xiao Tang, you should eat more."
Tang Yin suddenly felt warm in his heart. Although his teacher usually treated him well, he rarely saw such a considerate teacher. His eyes were a little red. This is called three-point color, which means the warmth of spring.
Well, sure enough... low EQ.
Fang Jifan couldn\'t help but sigh for Tang Yin in his heart.
The response to this meal of sweet potato porridge was particularly good, but for Fang Jifan, this kind of food still needs to be cultivated in large quantities, but now that he has a bottom in his heart, Fang Jifan feels more comfortable.
When he went to Zhan Shifu again, when Zhu Houzhao saw Fang Jifan, his eyes were bright and bright. When there was no one around, he quickly approached Fang Jifan and asked in a low voice, "Did King Ning send you any silver?"
Fang Jifan shook his head.
Zhu Houzhao immediately regretted it, and said angrily, "Will this dog be reluctant to part with it?"
"This..." Fang Jifan smiled: "It depends on the determination of His Highness King Ning."
"Determination?" Zhu Houzhao thought deeply, then shook his head again: "Forget about these things, I\'m going to copy the scriptures."
This is really sudden, doesn’t Zhu Houzhao only like military affairs?
Fang Jifan said strangely: "His Royal Highness has such an elegant mood."
Speaking of Taoism, Fang Jifan is very interested. In essence, he is also interested in Taoism. In his last life, his hometown was near Gezao Mountain, which is one of the famous Taoist mountains. Affected by this, he also read After reading some Taoist scriptures, uh... the purpose of reading Taoist scriptures is to improve your comprehension, and the purpose of improving your comprehension is to find a girlfriend.
Of course, the final result was that the book was read, but the girlfriend was not found as expected.
Actually, he was still too young at that time, so how could he know that Chanel and Armani were the most compelling styles in the eyes of girls, but naturally it would not be Tao Te Ching, let alone Gorky and Alexandre Dumas.
Zhu Houzhao said with an annoyed look on his face: "In a few days, it will be the birthday of the emperor\'s grandmother, and the emperor ordered me to copy a few Taoist scriptures and send them, otherwise..."
Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao\'s eyes were full of sadness, and he said plaintively: "Otherwise, beat me up."
"Oh. Then...Your Highness, work hard."
Fang Jifan laughed, gloating.
"How about..." Seeing Fang Jifan like this, Zhu Houzhao was annoyed, not enough friends, so he stopped Fang Jifan and said, "Why don\'t you help me to copy, don\'t you mean that brothers have difficulties together?"
Fang Jifan immediately said: "The handwriting of the minister and His Highness is completely different, and you can tell it at a glance. This is courting death."
Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said: "Don\'t worry, the emperor\'s grandmother\'s eyes are blurry, how can she see clearly, this is just a way of expressing her heart, come on, come on, I have treated you badly."
Fang Jifan looked helpless.
His Royal Highness, really...
He had no choice but to look at Zhu Houzhao coldly: "It\'s not impossible to copy, I try my best to imitate His Highness\'s handwriting, but... there is one thing, Your Highness must not bully the princess in the future."
"Okay, okay..." What Zhu Houzhao was most afraid of was playing with words, so he naturally agreed, pulled Fang Jifan and started to work.
The pen, ink, paper and inkstone are ready-made. In addition, I specially took a "Tao Te Ching" and a scripture commentary.
The Tao Te Ching is understandable. As for the annotations, to be more concise, they are the annotations to the Tao Te Ching. After all, some places are difficult to understand. How to understand the Tao Te Ching always requires authoritative translations.
Fang Jifan only glanced at the scripture annotation sent by Zhu Houzhao, and couldn\'t help laughing: "Your Highness can\'t even copy books?"
"What... what?" Zhu Houzhao looked innocent.
Fang Jifan was in a daze, forget it, and if he got to the bottom of it with Zhu Houzhao, he was just playing the piano with a cow.
The commentary sent by Zhu Houzhao is actually the "Imperial Tao Te Ching" written by Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty. Huizong of Song Dynasty is both excellent in calligraphy and painting, which is admirable, but his commentary on the Tao Te Ching is among the most popular among Taoists However, not many people used it. The reason why this book was able to be written is actually because of the name of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty. What\'s more, he worshiped magicians and liked the art of alchemy. flow of art.
What\'s more, Song Huizong is the king of subjugation, the birthday of the empress dowager, you send such a thing... bad luck...
Fang Jifan looked at it and couldn’t help shaking his head. If the hand-copied "Imperial Taoism" was sent up, the Empress Dowager would probably kill Zhu Houzhao if he knew anything. It is a miracle that this guy is alive.
Fang Jifan really has some brotherhood towards Zhu Houzhao. Naturally, he would not watch Zhu Houzhao die when it comes to major events. Fang Jifan said, "Is there any other version of the scripture commentary? My Great Ming Taizu Gao Emperor\'s "Imperial Morality" Is there any scripture?"
"Yeah..." Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and then said nonchalantly: "The Taizu also commented on the Tao Te Ching..."
Fang Jifan was speechless. He couldn\'t bear to tell Zhu Houzhao that Song Huizong\'s version of "Imperial Morality Scripture" was indeed annotated by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty himself. Who made him multi-talented? But Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of the country, this... is just a name.
Fang Jifan sighed, and said, "Then, is Ge Xuan\'s "Laozi Jiejie" available?"
"Who is Ge Xuan?"
Fang Jifan was completely convinced.
He had no choice but to push Song Huizong\'s version of "Imperial Tao Te Ching" aside. Now that time is running short, when Zhu Houzhao finds the scriptures, the day lily will be cold.
He pondered. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, there have been hundreds of annotated editions of the Tao Te Ching. Except for the "Imperial Tao Te Ching" written by the emperors of various dynasties, each edition has its own unique insights. As for what I have memories, it seems that only Wei Dayou\'s "Tao De Zhen Jing Ji Yi" was written.
