Chapter 179: long live my emperor



Chapter 179 Long Live My Emperor

  Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan with a disgusting gaze.

  His disgusting gaze immediately made Fang Jifan feel very uncomfortable, and he couldn\'t help shivering. Fang Jifan couldn\'t help but lift his clear eyes, and glanced at Zhu Houzhao.

  Zhu Houzhao, however, seemed to be playing tricks. He didn\'t say much, but just smiled silly, with the expression on his face like a brainless idiot.

   This guy is stupid.

   It is he who should get the needle.

   Fang Jifan thought in his heart.

  In the warm pavilion.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked around, looking anxious.

  Yesterday he only slept for more than an hour, a great victory, really exciting.

   But this great victory made him excited.

  Any policy theory, or correct performance, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, whether it is particular or not, or whether it is high-spirited talk, exaggerated, or has some foresight.

   After all, it depends on reality.

   With this great victory, all doubts have been swept away.

  Emperor Hongzhi got up early, but Fang Jifan and the prince hadn\'t arrived yet.

  So he looked around, and couldn\'t help asking the **** beside him: "Has it been an hour?"

   "Yes, Your Majesty..." the **** looked at Emperor Hongzhi with a smile, and reminded: "Your Majesty, isn\'t today\'s announcement?"

   "Mmm." Emperor Hongzhi could understand it. Fang Jifan\'s five disciples had all participated in the palace examination. Thinking about it, he was also very anxious, and he must have rushed to see the list.

  Emperor Hongzhi can understand this matter, so he deliberately confessed that Fang Jifan would be called into the palace after the imperial list was released.

  Thinking that Fang Jifan\'s disciples dominated the list, Emperor Hongzhi couldn\'t help laughing, and shook his head at the eunuch.

   "He must have been overjoyed when he saw the list. Five disciples made it to the first and second best ranks, and one school had five Jinshi. Everyone in the world will pay attention."

  The **** laughed when he heard the words, and wanted to say something, but he hesitated to speak, as if he had eaten a fly, and what he wanted to say was stuck in his throat.

  Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have noticed the hesitation of the eunuch, stroked the imperial case, and spoke lightly.

   "Say it."

   "There was a lot of trouble at the Gongyuan." The **** carefully observed the words and expressions, and answered carefully.

   "Very unpleasant?" Emperor Hongzhi was stunned, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked in confusion.

  The **** couldn\'t help swallowing, and then told Emperor Hongzhi.

"I heard that as soon as the list was released, Xu Jing searched for life and death, crying and pleading guilty to Fang Jifan. Fang Jifan was also so angry that his face turned green. He beat Xu Jing, a second-class Jinshi, hard. At the end of the day, Fang Jifan ordered his disciples to kneel outside the tribute courtyard, saying that it was... three days and three nights... as a punishment!"

   "Hoo..."

  Emperor Hongzhi felt his scalp numb, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he knelt down for three days and three nights.

  Fang Jifan... is really strict.

   But...seems to be working.

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn\'t help squinting his eyes, looking at a certain place with a pair of bright eyes, looking thoughtful, and seemed to be more interested in it.

   "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Fang Jifan have arrived. Nan Hebo is on duty at the Governor\'s Mansion of the Five Armies, and it may be later."

  A **** came in and said in a low voice.

   "Xuan." Emperor Hongzhi opened his eyes and cheered up.

  Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan entered the palace, Zhu Houzhao was alive and well just now, even when he entered the palace, he was full of joy.

   What a great victory.

  When Zhu Houzhao saw the great victory, he almost jumped up, as if he mistakenly thought that he had become the general of the mountain camp, leading the mountain camp to charge and kill countless thieves.

   This sense of joy of victory has been lingering in his heart, making him very happy.

   "I have met Your Majesty." Zhu Houzhao saluted first.

  Emperor Hongzhi glanced at the prince very complicatedly.

   This is his only son, the only bloodline, the sustenance of his life, and the future ruler of the Ming Dynasty.

   Therefore, it is inevitable that there is a feeling of licking the calf in the eyes.

   But the same, behind this love of licking the calf, there is another deep meaning hidden.

   "Oh." Emperor Hongzhi just nodded lightly, and did not show excessive enthusiasm and love.

  Zhu Houzhao wanted to get up: "Father..."

   "Wait a minute." Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hand towards Zhu Houzhao.

  Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised, and asked in confusion: "Father, what\'s the matter?"

   "Kneel down first." Emperor Hongzhi seemed very calm, without anger or blame.

   "Father... father emperor, what... what does this mean?"

  Zhu Houzhao was puzzled, he couldn\'t help frowning, pursed his mouth, and asked Emperor Hongzhi a little bit aggrieved.

   "Kneel down." Emperor Hongzhi gave him a long look, and said a little harshly.

  Zhu Houzhao was a little timid at once, and hurriedly knelt down obediently again.

  Emperor Hongzhi waved to him again: "Kneel in the corner, don\'t stay in the hall, I have something to say."

   "..."

  Zhu Houzhao was confused, but he didn\'t dare to disobey, the excitement on his face dissipated in an instant, replaced by a wave of nameless resentment.

  He didn\'t dare to do anything wrong, kneeled to the corner, leaned against the lamp stand, and asked pitifully with his mouth puckered.

   "Father, is this... okay?"

  Emperor Hongzhi was a little satisfied, and nodded: "Yes."

  Fang Jifan was dumbfounded.

  Has the prince done something so unconscionable?

   It\'s okay, it\'s okay, I\'ve been very busy recently, so I didn\'t get involved with him, otherwise I would suffer as well.

  Fang Jifan squeezed out a smile, tried his best to look extremely happy, and saluted: "Fang Jifan, I have seen Your Majesty..."

  Emperor Hongzhi had been prepared for a long time, and waved his hand at him: "Speaking of this, it\'s over, and there is no need to say what comes later."

  He seemed to have expected that words such as sage, dragon, tiger, and so on should come next.

"Your Majesty is holy. Your Majesty is so insightful that you still know what you have to say. It can be seen that your Majesty knows your ministers. Your Majesty manages everything every day, and you can still know your ministers well. This shows how holy your Majesty is. All the sages in the past have With the help of virtuous ministers, there are good stories about the monarch and his ministers getting to know each other. Your Majesty has such a heart, and the minister is really moved. No wonder the soldiers and civilians in the world praise your majesty\'s benevolence all the time. I used to be puzzled, but now I know the autumn with a leaf, and I know the leopard in the tube. Your Majesty is the ruler of Yao and Shun, whose benevolence and virtue are enshrined in grass and trees, and who love his subjects like a child... My Emperor...Long live!"

  Watching Zhu Houzhao die, Fang Jifan felt a sense of urgency as if the rabbit died and the fox was sad. He said that he was not afraid, that was a lie, and accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.

  The only way to deal with Emperor Hongzhi is to brag about his mission. Anyway, bragging about his awesomeness doesn’t cost him a hair.

   "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi never expected that this guy could penetrate into every hole.

  He was determined to get to the point as soon as possible, and Lai had to chat with Fang Jifan about other things, so a faint smile appeared on his face.

   "Here is a report, you can read it first, come, give Ji Fan a seat and serve tea."

  Fang Jifan looked back at Zhu Houzhao.

  Zhu Houzhao looked like he wanted to die, and he was completely paralyzed.

  Fang Jifan sighed, sorry, I\'m a little tired.

   Sitting down, an **** served him a cup of tea, took a sip, then took the memorial from the eunuch, opened it, Fang Jifan almost jumped up.

   "Your Majesty, this... this good news, it can\'t be false."

   Kill five thousand thieves.

  You are **** kidding me. I, Fang Jifan, have studied so many historical materials of the Ming Dynasty in my previous life. I have seen a lot of good news and all kinds of bragging, but this good news... To be honest, it is like a heavenly book.

  How can there be such a miracle? It\'s completely like lying about military intelligence.

  Emperor Hongzhi immediately lowered his face when he saw Fang Jifan\'s disbelief.

   "At first, I also had some doubts, but after comparing it with many places, I can be sure that this is true. Why, you still don\'t believe it? Hmph, if I say it is true, he is true."

  Fang Jifan said goodbye to him.

   Honestly, does it really matter? Your Majesty is right, what he said is true is true.

  The mountain camp has built such a miraculous feat, Fang Jifan was caught off guard.

  Even if this skill was greatly reduced, it was beyond Fang Jifan\'s expectations.

   Suddenly, Fang Jifan understood everything.

   It\'s no wonder that four of my disciples directly occupied the top four in the palace examination. This may not be because their strategies are well done, nor may it be because their own thinking makes sense.

  Think about Wang Shouren, who knows everything about the military. In history, he has indeed established peerless feats based on his enthusiasm for the military.

  With his theories and knowledge, how could he be beaten by nerds like Tang Yin and Ouyang Zhi, or the so-called \'wits\'?

  It turns out...it was because of this great victory.

   This great victory made Jianshan camp a standard answer in the textbook of this palace examination.

  Other answers, no matter how reasonable they are, if you break the sky, all the monarchs and ministers in the court think it makes sense, so what?

  Fang Jifan took a deep breath, his heart was beating very fast.

   Great work!

   But at this time, Fang Jifan was not stupid at all. With such a feat, he hurriedly said to Emperor Hongzhi with a smile, "Long live my emperor!"

   "..."

  Fang Jifan got up and saluted Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, I am very happy to congratulate you. My emperor is a wise man. If it hadn\'t been for my emperor to set up a mountain camp, how could this great victory in Guizhou come about? Your majesty\'s Wenzhi martial arts..."

  Emperor Hongzhi hehe.

  He immediately understood what Fang Jifan meant. Fang Jifan clearly wanted to take all the credit for this day\'s great achievements on his own head.

  Such a great contribution, to be honest, even the emperor can\'t help but be tempted.

  Who doesn’t want to be able to use martial arts and martial arts to let the world know that the mountain camp’s great victory is all because of the emperor’s strategizing and decisive victory.

   Fang Jifan came up with the idea, but Fang Jifan never mentioned it, which shows that it was Fang Jifan who wanted to give all the credit to Emperor Hongzhi.

  But Emperor Hongzhi sneered, glared at Fang Jifan, and called out softly.

   "Fang Qing\'s family..."
