Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 145: Yizhi



Chapter 145 Yizhi

   Regarding the decision of the Empress Dowager, Emperor Hongzhi shook his head in his heart. At first, he wanted to fight and kill, but once he changed his mind, he broke the rules of the palace in a flash.

  If this is the case, and the precedent is broken, what should we do in the future?

  Emperor Hongzhi knew the importance of rules, because any act of breaking precedent might lead to many unreasonable speculations.

   After all, it’s a good thing. A person who shouldn’t enter the palace at this time to celebrate his birthday has entered the palace. Then, will the ministers think why the palace summoned Fang Jifan at this time? Could it be that his father is about to be promoted soon? Or...whether there is a possibility of marriage between the palace and the Fang family.

  Thinking of the marriage, Emperor Hongzhi thumped in his heart suddenly, it would not be possible for such a false statement to appear. There is only one princess waiting to be married in the palace. This is Emperor Hongzhi\'s heart and soul, and he has no intention of it at all.

  However... the Empress Dowager has a decree, so what can the Emperor Hongzhi, who always pays attention to filial piety, say, he can only sigh.

  The decree was quickly sent to Zhan Shifu. It was a decree rather than an oral order.

  Because at this time, Fang Jifan was on duty in the Zhan Shifu, and when the prince Zhu Houzhao came back, he immediately consulted Fang Jifan who was at a loss, talking about what happened in the palace.

Fang Jifan suddenly felt that he had walked through the door of **** unknowingly. How could he have thought that Wei Da had a book, but he hadn\'t published it to the world at all, let alone that this version of the scriptures was published at the end of Ming Dynasty. See the light of day.

   Fortunately, the matter has passed, and it was difficult to learn that the Empress Dowager ordered him to enter the palace to celebrate his birthday.

   Zhu Houzhao, on the other hand, had a gloomy look on his face, and said plaintively: "I have suffered a lot, because of you, I have suffered an unreasonable disaster. Last night, I just knew what betrayal is."

At this time, he thought of the princess Zhu Xiurong, and said angrily: "The most heartless one is my sister, but... she seems to be ignoring Bengong. When I came out of the palace, Bengong greeted her. I didn\'t even lift my body, it really made me sad, how could I feel sorry for her, didn\'t I treat her the best?"

  Fang Jifan thought to himself, I am also very good to your sister.

  Zhu Houzhao then shook his head and said: "Forget it, I won\'t tell you this anymore, and you wouldn\'t understand if I told you, and you don\'t have a girl."

   "..." Fang Jifan rolled his eyes!

  What happened this time was safe and sound. Fang Jifan was not a sullen person.

  But as soon as he got home, Menzi sent him a post, saying that Puji Daoist from Longquan Temple was invited.

  Puji...really human...

  Fang Jifan had no interest in Taoist priests at all, so he directly smashed the Taoist stickers and threw them away, naturally ignoring them.

  Fang Jifan was quite nervous about the birthday celebration on the ninth day of June.

  The empress dowager\'s attitude is a little unclear. This woman who lived in the harem of the Ming Dynasty is not easy to mess with.

Although Fang Jifan often touches the emperor\'s porcelain, Fang Jifan is not stupid. He pretends to be crazy in front of the emperor because he has already figured out the temperament of Emperor Hongzhi. People who don\'t know think he is a fool, but this is not his survival. the way?

  But this empress dowager is different, he has never really had contact with her, so he has no idea.

  Hmm...but then you have to be careful.

   But Fang Jifan\'s most important thing right now is the issue of sweet potatoes. Recently, large-scale seedlings have been raised, but so many seedlings have been cultivated, and there is no large-scale land for planting.

Farmers are the most conservative group, let alone farmers in this era. For them, even if the current weather is abnormal and there is a severe drought, and the wheat planting is very likely to fail, they will never dare to plant other crops easily .

  In Xishan, after all, there is limited farmland, not to mention relying on greenhouses to earn money after winter.

  Furthermore, even if all the sweet potatoes are planted, it will not help the problem of world hunger.

  Fang Jifan once took a few of his disciples’ buttocks and asked them to go to the nearby gentry to promote it, but the feedback he got was not satisfactory. People didn’t believe it at all, and even if they believed it, they didn’t dare to take risks easily.

  Unless the land is in their own hands, it may be difficult for this sweet potato to be promoted quickly, but this severe drought does not wait for anyone.

  Could it be, to buy land by yourself?

Although the Fang family\'s income is amazing now, Fang Jifan is afraid that he may not have the financial resources to buy a large amount of land. This is no longer a matter of money. Land is the foundation of many people. It was luck to buy that large piece of wasteland in Xishan by deliberately being taken advantage of.

   Now he finally understands why crops such as sweet potatoes actually entered China at the end of Ming Dynasty, but it was only decades later that they were really popularized.

   But this severe drought seemed to wait for no one, and Fang Jifan was also anxious.

And that Daoist Puji posted several times in a row, coming almost every day, Fang Jifan was a little confused, of course he knew why this Puji Daoist noticed him, but he was actually just a coincidence I just wrote a Sutra commentary, why should I be so persistent?

  Only on May 29th, Fang Jifan was preparing to go to Zhan Shi\'s mansion to be on duty. Unexpectedly, just after washing up, an **** flew over.

  After seeing Fang Jifan, the **** looked at Fang Jifan curiously, and Fang Jifan also looked at him curiously. Fang Jifan had an attitude of studying and researching any "creatures" in the palace, although he had seen a lot of eunuchs.

  The **** didn\'t waste much time, and said: "The Empress Dowager\'s birthday is coming soon, order Nan and Bozi Fang Jifan to come to Longquan Temple to offer incense on their behalf, there must be no mistake!"

   "..." On behalf of the empress dowager, go to Longquan Temple to offer incense?

  Fang Jifan knew that the energy of Longquan Temple had come.

   It turns out that someone with such a background has failed to invite himself several times, so he followed the path of the Empress Dowager, could it be...

   Do you want to go to Longquan Temple before going to celebrate the Empress Dowager\'s birthday?

  In this Great Ming Dynasty, there are only two people who cannot be offended.

  One is Queen Zhang, and the other is the Empress Dowager.

   On the contrary, Emperor Hongzhi, in fact, did not feel any psychological pressure on Fang Jifan when he touched porcelain.

  Now that the Empress Dowager has issued a decree, what else can Fang Jifan say, let’s go.

But...Fang Jifan didn\'t dare to go alone. Now that he has money, he is always worried about his own safety. Walking on the street, he feels that the whole world is full of gangsters who seek money and murder, so Fang Jifan called a few of his disciples When they heard that their mentor was interested in visiting Longquan Temple, everyone in Ouyang Zhi became excited.

   It was Xu Jing who was thoughtful, and secretly pulled Fang Jifan aside, and said in a low voice: "Men, you are brilliant."

  Fang Jifan looked at him like a fool and said, "Gao Ming is the normal state of being a teacher. You only know it now? Didn\'t I tell you when I was a teacher?"

The word humility cannot be seen on the mentor. Xu Jing already has a deep understanding of this. He nodded with a smile and said: "The Empress Dowager only invited the mentor to celebrate his birthday a few days ago. Since the students came to Beijing, they have also I heard that the Empress Dowager respects Daoism, and that Puji Daoist Master of Longquan Temple is a master of Daoism, and my mentor went to visit him at this time, it is a wonderful move, the master\'s city is unfathomable, and the students admire him."

   Is this okay?

  Fang Jifan didn\'t bother to explain, so he said, "Stop rambling, let\'s go."

  Out of the mansion gate, the chariots and horses were ready, but Wang Shouren came unexpectedly.

  Fang Jifan had to think that this guy belonged to Nougat in his previous life.

  Wang Shouren stepped forward and bowed directly: "After the student went back, he carefully considered Mr. Fang\'s words..."

  Fang Jifan was not so impatient today, he waved his hand and said, "I have something to talk about."

   After finishing speaking, he ignored him and simply got into the car.

   To deal with such a person, you must not show your hole cards all at once, you have to use them slowly.

   But Wang Shouren was obviously stubborn in some places, so he didn\'t give up. Seeing Ouyang Zhi and others coming out, he pulled Ouyang Zhi and said in a low voice, "I don\'t know what to ask the teacher to do?"

  Ouyang Zhi looked dull, thought for a while, and then said: "The teacher said to do what, so I did it, Brother Nian, I don\'t know what it is."

  Wang Shouren is a little confused, can such a person become a club member?

  Shaking his head in his heart, he took a deep look at Ouyang Zhi, and felt Fang Jifan\'s strength more and more, but he couldn\'t ask anything anyway, but Xu Jing came up and said, "But brother Wang Nian?"

  Wang Shouren is busy returning the gift.

  Xu Jing smiled and said: "My teacher is going to go to Longquan Temple. Brother Wang Nian, my teacher\'s temper is a bit strange. If there is something offended, I hope Haihan."

Xu Jing knew that Wang Shouren was not an ordinary person, he would be the fourth in the exam, and his father was the number one scholar. It was rumored that even Li Dongyang looked up to him. Because of his troublesome attitude, he got close to Wang Shouren.

  Wang Shouren ignored Xu Jing\'s words, but he was thoughtful, thinking to himself, does he have any deep meaning in going to Longquan Temple?

  Speaking of which, Wang Shouren\'s learning is very complicated. He not only understands military affairs, but also went to chat with Taoist priests on the day of his marriage, so he also has a lot of research on this Taoism!

  He has been pondering over Fang Jifan\'s words of "integration of knowledge and action" for the past few days, and he finally figured it out, and he really wants to come here again to continue asking for advice.

He was also straightforward and said without hesitation: "I will go with me. The Master Puji of Longquan Temple is also a master. Although I don\'t know him, I have admired him for a long time. It\'s a pity that Master Puji has concentrated on his cultivation and has seen no outsiders. .”

So this group of people went out, Wang Shouren followed behind the crowd, seeing Fang Jifan in a car, the other disciples didn\'t dare to ride in a sedan chair, so they had to ride a horse or a donkey, Wang Shouren came in a sedan chair, and seemed to think that sitting in a sedan chair in front of Fang Jifan seemed to be a shame If they usurp the distance, they simply walk. Anyway, the donkey rider can\'t walk fast.

  It was cloudy and rainy early this morning, so Wang Shouren carried an oil umbrella under his arm, and followed the pedestrians, walking like flying.

  So many people comforted the tiger, and I felt a lot more comfortable in an instant, and there were so many friends who gave rewards, hahaha, let\'s continue!
