Chapter 180 Knighthood

Forehead…

  Fang Jifan was beating drums in his heart, and His Majesty clearly called him Jifan very affectionately just now.

Now…

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a smile that was not a smile: "You must have underestimated me too much. In your heart, I am also the kind of person who pretends to be a deed?"

   "..." Fang Jifan\'s face was a little stiff. He seemed to feel that he had made a mistake of empirical dogmatism, but he didn\'t know what to say at the moment, so he could only smile.

  Emperor Hongzhi\'s face darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "Go to the prince\'s side."

  This... has several meanings...

  Fang Jifan was at a loss, and was a little bit confused about Emperor Hongzhi\'s mind.

  Fang Jifan couldn\'t help feeling guilty, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty\'s meaning..."

  Emperor Hongzhi had a cold face and a stern tone.

   "I heard that your disciple won the first prize in the imperial examination and became famous in the capital, but you punished a few of them to kneel outside the court?"

  Fang Jifan felt a chill down his back, and he hesitated to explain.

   "They don\'t live up to expectations... I just teach them how to be human."

  Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows lightly, stared at Fang Jifan, and said in a cold voice.

   "Then I will also teach you how to be a man. Aren\'t you and the prince called brothers in private? Kneel there."

   "..."

  Fang Jifan was a little confused.

   But obviously, he could see that the emperor was really angry.

   Could it be because he boasted so much that his traces were showing.

  But...Fang Jifan had no choice but to look back at Zhu Houzhao.

  Zhu Houzhao couldn\'t help laughing, and secretly rejoiced. When Fang Jifan looked over, he immediately looked mournful, as if he was mourning for Fang Jifan.

Hey.

  Fang Jifan was very honest, obediently came to the side of the lamp stand, and said softly to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Highness, move your position."

  Zhu Houzhao was so busy that he set aside a large space.

  Fang Jifan roared in his heart, I... my Fang Jifan RI Tian RI Earth RI Emperor Lao Er, my Fang Jifan dignified time traveler, kneeling on the ground and kneeling on my parents.

   I, Fang Jifan, are a modern man, and a man has gold under his knees. If Fang Jifan kneels, is he still a time traveler, or a man of seven feet tall and straight?

   But I just thought about it, and then I was persuaded again, and knelt down firmly, don\'t be afraid, this young master has a thick skin.

  Fang Jifan glanced sideways at Zhu Houzhao, then blinked at Zhu Houzhao, as if to say, what a coincidence, Your Royal Highness, you are also here.

   Zhu Houzhao just grinned, wanting to laugh.

   Kneeling next to Fang Jifan, I suddenly felt not too lonely, at least I had someone to accompany me.

   However, when the emperor\'s eyes shot towards him like a cold front, Zhu Houzhao shuddered, then lowered his head, blinking desperately, trying to squeeze out some tears to win sympathy.

Emperor Hongzhi obviously was still angry, and he sternly shouted: "I\'m so stupid! Who are you, Fang Jifan, as me? Heh, take your credit? What\'s yours is yours, and I\'ll take advantage of you? Get down on your knees and wake up." , I will also teach you how to be a human being."

   "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi sat down, and the eunuchs in the palace had long been silent, all frightened out of their wits.

  Emperor Hongzhi immediately sat down and said coldly.

"This is a great achievement. If you are guilty, you will be punished. If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded. The mountain camp is your idea. Now that the mountain camp has won a great victory, you, Fang Jifan, are the first merit. This is a real military achievement. I have ordered the cabinet to draft it." Charter, I order you Fang Jifan to be the uncle of Xinjian, I am really worried about making you an uncle at such a young age, I want you to wake up and kneel up straighter!"

  Fang Jifan was busy kneeling straight.

  At this time, there seems to be no other way than pretending to be a grandson.

   But...Xin Bo.

   Doesn\'t this mean that the Fang family has two earls?

  In Daming, apart from the real imperial relatives, such as the two scumbags of the Zhang family brothers, the rest of the family names, if they want to be knighted, they must have military merits.

  The reason for this is because the gold content of Daming\'s title is actually not bad.

  Although there is no real fiefdom, and during the period of Emperor Taizu Gao, the risk was extremely high. But after that, as long as there are no heirs, the continuation of the title can almost be guaranteed. There will be no inheritance, and the children and grandchildren will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime. Not only will they be given land, but they will also receive salary.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there was a family of two dukes, that is, the two sons of Xu Da. , one generation is defending in Nanjing, while the other is in the capital, both of which are the top wealthy families. The British Duke Zhang Mao is far inferior to these two families.

   Now His Majesty has conferred the title of Uncle Xinjian, which is tantamount to recognizing himself as the first contributor to the great victory in Guizhou.

   Earls are not so easy to be. Back then, the ancestors of the Fang family worked hard to earn such an iron rice bowl for their descendants.

   Not only that, one family has two uncles, this is not a relationship of one multiplied by one equals one, but one plus one equals two.

   In the future, if Fang Jifan has two sons, the family can be separated, and one of them will inherit the title of Earl of Nanhe and the other will inherit the title of Earl of Xinjian.

   But... the only question is...

  Why Xinjian Bo.

   Xinjian is a county under Nanchang Prefecture.

  In history, Wang Shouren quelled the Ningwang Rebellion in Nanchang, Jiangxi, and was awarded Xinjian Bo.

  Since Fang Jifan was the first contributor to this great victory in Guizhou, then it is possible that he was appointed as An Shun Bo, Zhen Yuan Bo, and Liping Bo.

  Nanchang Prefecture\'s new county is really not related to Guizhou.

  Furthermore, Xinjian County clearly belongs to King Ning\'s fief.

  Fang Jifan was really at a loss as to what the emperor meant. He immediately turned to look at Zhu Houzhao.

  Zhu Houzhao looked pitiful, met Fang Jifan\'s gaze, and nodded to him.

   One look at his expression, Fang Jifan understood.

   King Ning gave him a big gift, Zhu Houzhao thought he had already reported it to His Majesty.

  His Majesty deliberately appointed himself as Uncle Xinjian, I\'m afraid he has other intentions.

Fang Jifan was overjoyed when he was enshrined as an earl all at once. In this era, a title is more useful than silver, especially for the notorious himself. With the newly built earl, in this life, unless he dies, he must rebel. You can live comfortably.

  He hurriedly said: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty..."

   "Shut up and kneel down!"

   "..."

   Unreasonable.

After kneeling for two sticks of incense, Fang Jifan began to understand the feelings of Zhu Houzhao and his disciples. This place was paved with bluestone, which was very hard. It was numb, and my body could no longer be straight, and began to bend slightly.

   After a while, an **** came in: "Nan and Bo have arrived."

  Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes casually. He was just looking down at the memorial, and then said calmly: "Xuan."

Fang Jinglong entered the hall cautiously, when His Majesty suddenly summoned him, he was a little confused and didn\'t know what happened, but when he entered the hall, when he saw Fang Jifan and the crown prince kneeling side by side, he suddenly felt as if struck by lightning, his heart ached, and It was because of fear that his whole body trembled a little, and his legs trembled like an autumn wind. He was busy saluting Emperor Hongzhi.

   "Your Majesty, the veteran will die."

  Emperor Hongzhi raised his head and looked at Fang Jinglong with a pleasing expression, but seeing Fang Jinglong\'s grief-stricken face, the spring breeze on his face suddenly became much smaller.

"The old minister has no way to teach his son. If the dog has committed any crime, please His Majesty, for the sake of the Fang family\'s diligence and king\'s life, please be extra merciful... This son of the old minister... is really outrageous. He usually likes to mess around, but even though he did Some, but the old minister uses the head as a guarantee, and the successor fan...he..."

  Emperor Hongzhi felt warm in his heart, looked at Fang Jinglong, and suddenly felt empathy.

  Having a naughty son is really bad, and I have to worry about my son all the time.

  It\'s just that the old minister has no way to teach his son...the dog has no shape...

  You, Fang Jinglong, are slapping me in the face.

   Obviously raised a good son, but still so humble.

Seeing Nan Hebo\'s anxiety and fear leaping on his face, Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hand in a complicated mood: "Okay, you don\'t need to panic, I just punish him a little, you know, Guizhou has won a great victory. "

   "Listen, I heard about it." Fang Jinglong was on duty in the Fifth Army Commander\'s Mansion, so how could he not know. But he was still worried about Xia Jifan, and secretly glanced at Fang Jifan. Seeing that Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao both lowered their heads, and couldn\'t see their expressions clearly, he was still a little uneasy.

   "Then... you know, this achievement is made by the mountain camp."

   "I also know that Your Majesty is wise, if His Majesty hadn\'t set up a mountain camp..."

   "This is Jifan\'s idea." Emperor Hongzhi said bluntly.

   "Ah..." Fang Jinglong was stunned for a moment, looking extremely surprised. Obviously, he didn\'t believe it, but seeing the seriousness of the emperor\'s words, it was obviously impossible for His Majesty to call him here just to make this joke for himself.

All of a sudden, Fang Jinglong, who was still uneasy and stunned just now, began to raise his eyebrows slightly, but tried very hard to suppress the urge to laugh wildly in his heart, and took a deep breath. He took a deep breath very hard, and his face turned red , but tried his best to calmly and slowly said: "Really? Oh, Your Majesty controls the dog well, and I am overjoyed."

"..." Emperor Hongzhi always felt that it was very difficult to communicate with the Fang family father and son: "This is a great achievement. I have ordered your son to be Xinjian. From then on, it is a great favor for the Fang family to have a second uncle. Proud."

  Fang Jinglong shook his head very modestly and said: "No, no, the dog has no merit. If the dog does not have His Majesty\'s teaching, it is nothing. The old minister should be grateful to His Majesty. Your Majesty teaches his son well, and I admire him very much."

"..." Emperor Hongzhi looked past Fang Jinglong and glanced at Zhu Houzhao. He felt panicked and a little out of breath. It took him a long time to regain his composure. Some face.

  So Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jinglong and said

   "This is Jifan\'s own efforts, and it\'s also because you have taught your son well. I have a son myself, and I can\'t teach such a great talent as Jifan."

  ...

   Friends, please support me, thank you.
