Chapter 194 The king worries about the minister\'s humiliation

  Respecting teachers, being filial to relatives, and being loyal to the emperor, in the doctrine of the sages, they are connected by flesh and blood. In the Han Dynasty, the recommendation of talents was called Ju Xiaolian. That is to say, if a person was too filial, he could actually be an official. Why?

  Because a filial child, he will never be too bad, and he will be loyal to the emperor and respect his teacher.

   In the same way, in people\'s eyes, a child who respects his teacher will never be too bad. He will definitely be a loyal minister and a filial son.

  This remark won Emperor Hongzhi\'s heart. He admired Ouyang Zhi more and more, with a smile on his lips: "Then, I\'m here to ask you, which is more important, me or your teacher?"

  When this question was asked, the whole hall was silent.

   I have to say, this question is quite humble.

  The general effect is that I fell into the water with your MA.

   It\'s simply frenzied, shameless.

   But obviously, Emperor Hongzhi wanted to try Ouyang Zhi, mainly because this young man was too prudent. Now that such a difficult problem has arisen, he will be at a loss if he thinks about it.

   However, Emperor Hongzhi was wrong.

  Ouyang Zhi still paused for a moment, and replied firmly: "Your Majesty, ministers are more important."

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn\'t help frowning slightly when he heard the words, his eyes were somewhat confused.

  Many people were surprised. They admired Ouyang Zhi\'s stability, but they all gasped at his bold answer.

   Could it be that you, Ouyang Zhi, still want to be unfaithful?

  Emperor Hongzhi did not blame Ouyang Zhi, but felt that Ouyang Zhi\'s answer did not satisfy him.

  He put his hands on the copybook, tried his best to show himself as calm as possible, pulled the corner of his mouth lightly, and said lightly: "It seems that I am not as good as the teacher of the Qing family."

   There was a bit of disappointment in his tone.

   "Naturally." Ouyang Zhi thought for a while and replied, "Because my mentor taught me the \'rituals of a ruler and his ministers\'."

  Emperor Hongzhi, who was slightly disappointed just now, was surprised. After a short silence, he laughed again: "Fang Jifan is really extraordinary."

  This answer can almost be given full marks. Who is more important, the teacher or the gentleman? is the teacher.

  Why is the teacher important, because the teacher teaches oneself to be loyal to the emperor.

  So... both are considered, and there is no flaw in the slightest.

  Liu Jian stood aside and smiled, as if he was more interested in Ouyang Zhi.

  Although Li Dongyang has been praising Wang Shouren\'s benefits.

   However, because Xie Qian is from Zhejiang, he has a good impression of Tang Yin, who is half of his hometown but extremely talented.

  Liu Jian suddenly said: "Ouyang Zhi, have you heard of the Beggar Gang?"

  Ouyang Zhi nodded slightly.

   "I heard from my mentor."

  His three sentences are inseparable from his mentor.

  Liu Jian smiled, but said quietly.

   "The gang of beggars is rampant and has evil intentions. Since you have heard your mentor say it, then, we know that His Majesty has ordered the arrest of the thieves within ten days, but so far, the factory guards are still in vain?"

Now, half a month has passed, and the factory guards began to lock up many people in the city, but the result was not satisfactory. Although they captured many disciples, the leader of the beggar gang was a None caught.

  This matter became a heart problem for Emperor Hongzhi.

  Xiao Jing, who was on the side, heard Liu Jian suddenly mentioned this matter, and hurriedly stepped forward to plead guilty: "Your servant will die, I can\'t share your majesty\'s worries...The servant must order Dongchang..."

  Emperor Hongzhi was very calm, pressing his hands towards him, interrupting Xiao Jing\'s words, but looking at Liu Jian with a pair of bright eyes.

   Liu Jian said with a smile: "How does your teacher evaluate this matter?"

  Ouyang Zhi thought for a while: "The mentor said that if he goes out, it will take ten days, let alone half a month, three days will be enough."

   "..."

   This is a bit embarrassing.

  Ouyang Zhi is an honest person, he did repeat what Fang Jifan said.

  Every morning, Fang Jifan would call the disciples together, and then asked Xu Jing to read the residence newspaper, and then he would make a few comments.

  As a mentor, it is only natural to occasionally brag.

  However, every time the teacher\'s bragging has come true, for Ouyang Zhi, what the teacher said must not be false.

  Xiao Jing was speechless when he heard it. The factory guards had mobilized countless manpower and material resources, and there was nothing they could do for half a month. You Fang Jifan, He Dehe Neng, a hundred households in the village, dare to boast so much.

  The worst thing is, you can just brag, if you brag for three days, isn’t that a blow to your job?

  How does this allow him to explain to His Majesty, how to explain to the ministers?

   But in fact, he did not catch the thief.

  Xiao Jing didn\'t say much, just shook his head with a wry smile.

   "It is understandable that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. However, the matter of apprehending rebels is not as simple as Lingshi thinks."

  He is giving himself a step down.

  Ouyang Zhi shook his head, and said very firmly: "If the teacher says yes, he will."

  At this time, Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian looked at each other, and then Emperor Hongzhi smiled, but took a deep look at Xiao Jing, and said lightly: "Okay, stop arguing."

  This matter, let it go.

   Obviously, Emperor Hongzhi didn\'t want Fang Jifan to brag, which would cause dissatisfaction from the factory guards.

  …

   Coming out of the palace, Xu Jing blamed Ouyang Zhi blindly.

"Brother, you are really ignorant. Aren\'t you trying to harm your mentor? There are tens of thousands of people in the factory guards, so many elites, who specialize in apprehending and inquiring, and they haven\'t been able to find the leader of the thief for more than half a month. Let\'s just close the door and listen. You are good. If you say it in person, think about it, can people sit still? Doesn\'t this mean that the factory guards are all wine bags and rice bags? You don\'t know how to be a human..."

  Ouyang Zhi obviously felt that he had made a mistake, so he lowered his head, not daring to say anything.

   A group of people returned to Fang\'s house, only to find that their mentor was entertaining a very special guest. The person who came was actually the merchant of Dashi, that is, the \'tip\' offered by the ten thousand-year-old ginseng.

   Fang Jifan was surprised that \'tip\' hadn\'t left yet.

  Faisal saluted Fang Jifan with a smile on his face and a flattering tone.

   "Thank you, son\'s father, for your help. The boat really came back. The villain is very grateful to you, so I prepared some small gifts. Please don\'t dislike him."

   After staying in Daming for a while, his Chinese became more standard.

  Fang Jifan never imagined that his father, who was in Tianjin Wei at the time, would be so reliable, and his father really "lended the net" with a letter.

  After that, Fang Jifan never asked about this matter again, and had long forgotten about it.

  As soon as he heard the tip, Fang Jifan looked at Feisal with a pair of clear eyes, and a nice smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

   "I\'m a person with two sleeves, so I don\'t care about gifts. You can show me the gifts."

   Feisal took the gift list with a smile, and Fang Jifan took it. Sure enough, there was nothing interesting, just some ordinary \'silk\' and \'jade\'.

  Fang Jifan was not interested, so he couldn\'t help but haha: "No, it\'s not interesting."

  Silver, he Fang Jifan has plenty.

  He hopes that there will be another \'artifact\' similar to the ten thousand-year-old ginseng.

  After thinking for a while, Fang Jifan revealed a noble look, staring at Feisal with a pair of bright eyes.

   "I don\'t like other things, but I only like some flowers and plants. If there are any exotic flowers and plants, it would be good for me to palm them."

"There are indeed." Feisal said cheerfully: "In addition to the thousand-year-old ginseng, there are actually some goods brought with the ship. However, Daming also has these things, so he dare not offer them. But if you are interested, The villain will bring it next time."

  Fang Jifan squinted his eyes, but he was a little bit interested.

   "Very well, take the trouble, now, get out."

   "..." Feisal was stunned.

  So realistic, you were still smiling just now, telling people to get fucked?

In fact, how did he know that although Fang Jifan hoped that the tip would bring some rare things, he was unwilling to talk to the tip too much. What, do you still want to make friends?

   Feisal had no choice but to leave angrily.

  Fang Jifan stretched his waist, seeing that it was not early, he couldn\'t help asking Deng Jian beside him: "Ouyang Zhi and others, went to the palace for a banquet, haven\'t you come back yet?"

  Deng Jian said with a smile: "Young master, you have already returned. I saw that you have guests here, so..."

   "Call here." Fang Jifan was shocked.

   A while later, Ouyang Zhi and others came, and naturally told Fang Jifan what happened in the palace.

  Xu Jing smiled wryly and said: "Men, should I send a word to Eunuch Xiao and Commander Mou, and apologize to them, lest they bear grudges against their teacher..."

  Ouyang Zhi also looked ashamed, and hurriedly fell to the ground.

   "The disciple will die, and it will cause trouble for the teacher."

  Fang Jifan raised his head and looked around at the few people. Seeing that they all had expressions of fear, he couldn\'t help but squint his eyes and thought about it seriously.

"Apologize? Why do you have to apologize? Originally, this was a matter for the factory guard. I was too lazy to intervene. I want to farm the land. However, since the factory guard has been in charge of it for so long, you still said that it was a slip of the tongue. There is a solution, tomorrow... I will catch the thief leader."

  Xu Jing was taken aback for a moment, then he looked at Tang Yin and the others in disbelief.

   Teacher really... can catch people?

  In this world, where is there such an easy thing that doesn’t even take three days, but just one day?

  The five disciples all shook their heads in disbelief.

   "But... I have to ask Wang Shouren to help. He has some kung fu, much better than you guys. Hey..." Fang Jifan sighed: "Why are all the students I accept are useless scholars?"

   "..."

   Fortunately, everyone is used to it.

  ...

  Emperor Hongzhi has something on his mind.

   This concern naturally arose from Ouyang Zhi\'s words.

   Within three days, capture the thief...

  Even though Emperor Hongzhi didn\'t pursue this matter further, it was because he wanted to keep Xiao Jing\'s face.

  Xiao Jing, after all, he has been with him for more than 20 years. When he was in the East Palace, he worked for him.

  The advantage of bragging is that it always leaves an indelible impression, even if you don\'t believe it.

  It’s like, when the teacher asked you what your wishes were when you were young, there would always be a friend by your side who wanted to be a president, a great scientist, or a superstar.

Then, after many, many years, even thirty or forty years, you who moved bricks at that time will still remember the one who made great ambitions but was also moving bricks, and then you can come up with these old materials. Years ago, laughing at him for a lifetime.

   As long as the thief is not eliminated for a day, Emperor Hongzhi will feel like a thorn in his throat. No matter how kind he is, he is the emperor after all. It is only natural for the emperor to destroy the thief.
