Chapter 413: discerning
Chapter 413 Knowing the details
All the officials were stunned, and they all gasped.
On Zhu Houzhao's body, there were scars, big and small, intertwined, which was shocking to see.
New wounds accounted for the vast majority, and there were still many wounds that had not healed, so there were many bruises.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao pointed to a bruise on his shoulder and said, "This...was caused by the pressure of carrying a stone. The swelling hasn't subsided yet, but after taking medicine, it's much better."
"And here!" Zhu Houzhao pointed to his biceps: "This scar was scratched by thorns when logging. The thorns in the mountains are especially thick and have many thorns. It directly scratched a hole. "
Emperor Hongzhi could hardly bear to watch it.
The officials all looked at each other in blank dismay, full of astonishment.
Zhu Houzhao continued to point to a scar on his abdominal muscle like a few treasures: "Father, when I went up the embankment with a load, I accidentally fell, and when I slipped, I was crushed by gravel, but it's okay, and... He turned around and exposed his back to Emperor Hongzhi. There were even more scars on his back: "Did you see it? These are bruises caused by carrying stones, but it's nothing, doctors can't see it." , the injury on the leg, so I won't show it to my father, my son is in Lingqiu, and he doesn't go to have a meal."
Speaking of eating idle food, Fang Jifan blushed slightly for no reason, and his neck shrank silently for no reason!
Zhu Houzhao turned around again, looked at the dumbfounded Emperor Hongzhi, and said eloquently: "I went to Lingqiu to save people! If you don't block the breach, after the earth collapses, it will be a man-made disaster. How many people will be drowned if the river floods back?" People? Everything my son said is true, didn't my father always say that he knows everything?"
"..." Emperor Hongzhi pursed his lips, but his eyes were already moist, and he sniffed, feeling distressed, very distressed, this is his son.
Even though Emperor Hongzhi hoped that his son would become a benevolent and loving king, it didn't mean that he was willing to let his son suffer and suffer such a crime.
only…
Prince’s words, why do you feel such thorns when you hear them?
What is it called, I have always said that I know everything well?
Emperor Hongzhi said seriously: "I never said that, it was all said by my subjects."
"It's the same reason, there is no difference." Zhu Houzhao is a careless person, and he was wronged by them, isn't he?
"..."
Zhu Houzhao continued with grievances: "Since the father is aware of the details, why does he always question the sons? Usually the father teaches the sons and ministers to love the people like innocent children. Now that the innocent children are in disaster, the sons go to save them. Dare to ask the father?" , where is my son wrong?"
"This..." Emperor Hongzhi sighed, feeling a little ashamed, and couldn't help saying, "You've worked hard."
But Zhu Houzhao said solemnly: "It's nothing hard, what kind of hard work is this, the real hard work is for the people who were affected by the disaster. I have seen them with my own eyes, and I will know how miserable they are. It's a **** on earth. If you go late One step further, it is not impossible for people to eat each other, so I don't feel hard, compared with them, I am much more relaxed."
Manchu civil and military officials listened intently to Zhu Houzhao's words without saying a word.
Emperor Hongzhi didn't know whether he should be relieved or what, suddenly, he thought of the words in Xie Qian's Memorial.
One person Youqing, Zhaomin Laizhi.
Isn’t that the current prince?
Hoo...
Emperor Hongzhi knew that at this time, it was meaningless to beat and pursue.
In other words, he simply didn't have such a thick skin to teach the prince a lesson.
Now I know that my son is doing better than me.
Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said: "Later, order the doctor to inspect the wound again, you go to the side first."
Zhu Houzhao returned to the class with great momentum.
But at this time, Fang Jifan sternly said: "Liu An!"
Liu An shuddered all over, he felt deeply that something was wrong.
Fang Jifan sneered at Liu An: "You are so bold."
"I..." Liu An wanted to say, but I'm actually not so courageous.
Fang Jifan continued: "His Royal Highness's disaster relief comes from the bottom of his heart, because His Royal Highness loves the people. Hearing that the people have been affected by the disaster, he is very anxious. My emperor is wise and taught His Royal Highness to love the people like a son. His Royal Highness has been taught by the emperor and will keep it in mind." Yu Xin, after the collapse of the Earth, His Royal Highness rushed to the disaster-stricken area regardless of everything, and went to the disaster-stricken area to rescue the disaster. This is His Highness's benevolent heart and an act of loving the people. Look at this Wanmin Book, it is clearly written, and the people are deeply loved by His Royal Highness. I am grateful for your kindness, how did it come out of your mouth that it was Fang Jifan who encouraged His Highness the Crown Prince to rescue the disaster?"
Liu An's face collapsed.
He finally realized that he had fallen into a terrible logical trap.
Disaster relief... has always been a great achievement. He ignored the great contribution of disaster relief. In other words, for people like him, they have always looked down on others. They think that they are the embodiment of morality, and only they can love the people like this. His son, other people, so-called disaster relief, so-called benevolent deeds, either have ulterior motives, or are just nonsense, he doesn't believe it.
This sense of moral superiority, in fact, has become common practice at this time. The Qiu Bas in the border town are fighting hard at the front, but so what, no matter how much credit you make to them, in the eyes of the officials in the temple, Qiu Ba is Qiu Ba, and you will be Qiu Ba for the rest of your life. Is it loyal to the country? Shit, you are worthy of being loyal to the country. These Qiuba must be on guard. Everyone is a suspected rebel, and they are not rebelling now, just out of fear.
As for serving the country and the people, it is even more unacceptable. You obviously want to earn credit and want to get rewards. Therefore, Qiu Ba is still Qiu Ba. How many Qiu Ba, who were bleeding and sweating in the border town, no matter how they went through life and death, wouldn't they still be scolded by Yushi and Qingliu all the time, and dare not speak back?
In the history of the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang, a famous general, fought in the south and the north, fought against the Tatars in the north, and fought against the Japanese pirates in the south. In the eyes of the Tatars and Japanese pirates, this man was like a military god. His name is enough to make the most ferocious people in the world Everyone is terrified, but so what? In the case of a small eight-rank and nine-rank official, the Qingliu official of Sesame Mung Bean received a letter of impeachment, and immediately dismissed him from office. Qi Jiguang still got a good death. , and did not harm his family.
There is also Yu Dayou, who is also a famous anti-Japanese general in the area. He is upright and clean, with a clear style, he favors his subordinates, and never takes credit for himself. If it wasn't for the serious defense of the Ministry of War and resolutely defending him, I'm afraid the rest of his life would be extremely miserable, but even so, he was still sent back to his original place by the imperial court.
In the same way, in Liu An's eyes, the crown prince and Fang Jifan must have gone to mess around. A noble person like him would never believe that the crown prince and Fang Jifan really went to rescue the disaster!
So, during his impeachment, Fang Jifan took the students from the academy to the disaster area to have fun, and he seemed to feel that the fun was not enough, so he encouraged the prince again.
And now...
Fang Jifan looked at him coldly and said, "In your heart, is His Highness the Crown Prince so stupid?"
"No...no!" Liu An quickly denied, "That's not what I meant."
"What does that mean?" Fang Jifan always liked to beat a dog in the water, let alone a person who deliberately came to trouble him.
"I..." Liu An said: "I'm just trying to prevent the passing of time, and I'm doing it in the middle of the matter. This is my duty."
Finally, when it reached the point where no one could tell, he defended his identity in the matter given by the Ministry of Rites.
Fang Jifan smiled and said: "No, I think you are afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince will get a good name, and you have evil intentions, otherwise why are thousands of people grateful for His Highness the Crown Prince's time, but you are afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince's reputation will spread far and wide, and you are actually slandering the Crown Prince, saying The prince was instigated by a courtier, so he went to the disaster area to rescue the disaster? Don’t you know that because of your nonsense here, everyone in the world thinks that His Highness the Prince is a stupid prince who is close to the villain? The enemy is happy, you can say it out loud, you still know that you are in the middle of the matter, and what you get is the king's salary, but why are you slandering the palace and the prince everywhere."
"You are spitting blood." Liu An's face was miserable.
This guy is on the line.
In fact, he forgot that the person who can get on the line the most is himself.
Fang Jifan laughed and said, "Could it be that you have colluded with the Tatars?"
"..." Liu An's throat was sweet, old blood was about to spurt out, this crime was not a joke, he shuddered, and said with a pale face: "My innocence is well known, don't frame Zhongliang."
Fang Jifan said: "If you don't check it, how will you know?"
"..."
"Your Majesty!" Fang Jifan is not easy to mess with. To be honest, he has prepared 10,000 ways to kill this guy. As for whether Liu An is wronged, it has nothing to do with Fang Jifan!
Who made you think that Fang Jifan is a soft persimmon, and who told you to find Fang Jifan to bully anyone who doesn't bully? Then you have to be prepared to be bullied back!
Emperor Hongzhi watched all this with cold eyes. He was still immersed in the scars on his son's body in his heart. At this moment, he just nodded lightly and said, "But it doesn't matter."
Fang Jifan said: "I feel that Liu An has other schemes. It is better to investigate this matter. I dare not slander Liu An, but I am also worried that if Liu An colludes with the Tatars, it will cause hidden dangers. This is too serious. Terrible."
Emperor Hongzhi was expressionless, and glanced at Zhu Houzhao, his eyes were full of kindness.
The prince was wronged.
Fang Jifan was also wronged.
Emperor Hongzhi said: "It's good to find out, let Jin Yiwei Commander Mou Bin handle it. If there is no evidence in the investigation, we will also give justice to Liu Qing's family. If you really have ulterior motives, you should be severely punished.
