Chapter 791: Loyalty
Chapter 791 Devotion and Loyalty
Emperor Hongzhi felt joy in his heart when he saw this situation.
"My son has great ambitions, and he is a man of great filial piety. Now beheading the chieftain is enough to comfort the spirit of the ancestors." Emperor Hongzhi looked around lightly: "Let the imperial doctor ask if the British Duke's injury is healed."
Said, stepped forward, stared at Zhu Houzhao, this guy, smelly, shaking his head, happy.
This expression used to look very annoying, not a regular one. I thought about it today, but I thought, what's the matter, it's very beautiful.
He took Zhu Houzhao's hand: "Come, come, come and enter the palace with me."
Emperor Hongzhi dragged Zhu Houzhao through the Meridian Gate and into the Forbidden City, and all the officials and eunuchs followed suit.
Emperor Hongzhi was full of emotions, and couldn't help but glance at Zhu Houzhao sideways, and said with emotion: "Hou Zhao, you are taller than me."
Zhu Houzhao stopped, touched the top of Emperor Hongzhi's head, and gestured with his hand. Just in time, his hand touched his forehead evenly, and then said: "Yes, Father, half a head taller, one inch taller."
Emperor Hongzhi: "..."
Fang Jifan sighed afterwards, His Royal Highness is really particular about people, ingenuity!
Waiting to go to Jinshen Hall, where there are still traces of being burned by the fire.
A group of craftsmen are repairing under the supervision of the guards and eunuchs.
Emperor Hongzhi stopped, pointed to the Jinshen Palace and said: "Last night, there was a fire here, but I was terrified. I thought it offended the heavens, and a disaster came. Unexpectedly, it was a happy news. A good photo. This is God, and I have brought you good news."
Zhu Houzhao thought about it for a while, but stopped talking, forget it, let's not talk, so as not to talk about the crow's mouth.
Fang Jifan was behind him, staring at the Jinshen Hall. The fire was not small.
But... something suddenly appeared in his mind, as if he had a flash of light.
Suddenly, Fang Jifan became excited.
Liu Jian on the side glanced sideways at Fang Jifan: "Fang Duwei, what are you thinking?"
"No...it's nothing." Fang Jifan shook his head hastily: "Oh, yes, thinking of the prince's return, I'm overjoyed and very happy."
Liu Jian smiled and said nothing.
Wait until everyone arrives at the Snapper.
Emperor Hongzhi sat down and sighed: "The good news is certainly good, but it's a pity that Jinshen Hall is the main hall in the palace, and it will take some effort to repair it."
All the ministers were silent.
Building a palace requires money.
Especially the palace needs to be repaired. Don’t think it’s just a renovation, but the money goes down, but the sea is gone, but... isn’t there enough money now, I hope your majesty will not use the national treasury.
Emperor Hongzhi only said this casually, and seeing that all the ministers were pretending to be stupid, he felt emotional in his heart, and sure enough... all the ministers are very stingy, and they all kept silent, because they were afraid of asking them for money and food.
"Ahem..." Fang Jifan coughed.
Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes.
Fang Jifan bowed down: "My son has something to say."
Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan: "Is there anything the Qing family wants to play?"
At this time, Emperor Hongzhi was in a good mood, and looked at Fang Jifan with a smile.
Fang Jifan said: "His Royal Highness, you have made a great contribution. This contribution has shocked the past and the present. There is no one before, and there will be no one to come."
Zhu Houzhao's Yintang turned red, Lao Fang continued to brag like this, he couldn't sleep tonight.
Emperor Hongzhi nodded his head, these words are very pleasant.
Fang Jifan said: "Nowadays, this palace has been in disrepair for a long time. The imperial court spent a lot of money to repair the Forbidden City. I see it in my eyes, and it hurts in my heart. My heart hurts... I think it's okay to let Your Majesty build a new one." I don't know what your majesty thinks about the other palace, which is used to cultivate one's character?"
Build a new palace.
Suddenly, everyone cheered up, Fang Jifan, what do you want to do? What's the matter?
In fact, the accommodation conditions in the Forbidden City are really bad. After all, it represents more political significance. On the contrary, it is more inconvenient in terms of daily life. Besides, this is a wooden palace. After a long time, it is inevitable that it will have to be repaired everywhere. This... It is indeed very annoying.
Therefore, the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties were very interested in building gardens. For example, in history, after Zhu Houzhao became emperor, he built the "Leopard House". The Forbidden City is gone. Although the leopard house was criticized by later emperors, Emperor Jiajing criticized his brother for wasting money, but without saying a word, he also renovated the leopard house, changed its name, and moved there by himself. I went to the leopard room to practice immortality.
It is extremely bad to build a new palace. After all, the cost is too high. In addition, once the construction starts, the people in the palace and the Ministry of Industry will work hard. The cost is often ten times higher than that of ordinary buildings.
Officials have always avoided the emperor's building a new palace, and only Zhu Houzhao, a fool, was so self-willed. He withstood the pressure in history and benefited the later Ming emperors. scolded for hundreds of years.
Now Fang Jifan is a son-in-law, and you come to say that you want to build a new palace, isn't this a death sentence?
What's more, the current emperor probably doesn't approve of such extravagant and wasteful behavior.
Liu Jian hurriedly said: "Fang Duwei, no, the Forbidden City is already large in scale, why build a new palace, Fang Duwei, don't joke."
He was in a hurry.
To be honest, if Fang Jifan wasn't his son's mentor, I really wanted to shoot him to death. But no matter what, Liu Jian's impression of Fang Jifan is still good, and he is afraid that Fang Jifan will continue to die, and then the whole court will be thrown into chaos.
Xie Qian and others also said one after another: "Yes, yes, Fang Duwei is a child, haha, don't be kidding."
Emperor Hongzhi naturally had a little desire for the construction of the new palace, but suddenly, thinking of the money that was spent like flowing water, he immediately dismissed the idea and pressed his hands: "Jifan's good intentions, he He's my son-in-law, so it's okay to say these things, but...Jifan, I can't be extravagant, so don't mention this matter again."
Fang Jifan is eloquent: "Your Majesty, my son, is serious. Your Majesty's kindness to my son is as great as a mountain, and our Fang family has received the country's grace for the world. When I think of your majesty's residence, the comfort is far less than that of ordinary people. Home, Erchen... my heart... hurts..."
He covered his heart.
Have a brain attack?
It’s not like this on weekdays.
The monarchs and ministers were a little confused.
Fang Jifan said eloquently: "So, I have made up my mind to build a new palace for Your Majesty. I have already thought of the name of the new palace. It is called Yuanmingyuan! All the money I need, I will give away!"
Everyone gasped.
Fang Jifan...is out?
He really built it?
Fang Jifan... When did he become so willing?
Emperor Hongzhi was shocked, but he still waved his hands: "No, no."
Fang Jifan cried and sobbed: "Your Majesty, my son has received His Majesty's great grace. Now, I finally earned some silver. What's the use of putting this money there? Naturally, it's important to honor Your Majesty. The Forbidden City catches fire every now and then. What happened to the accident, how can I feel relieved, I am determined to build it, please Your Majesty, please give permission no matter what, please rest assured, I will build this new palace without your majesty's grain, and without the treasury A grain of rice, this silver, is from this minister, if His Majesty refuses, this minister would rather die here."
is so strong.
Zhu Houzhao was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
What... what does this mean, what the **** is he thinking?
Liu Jian and the others, their faces softened a lot. They were all wondering whether this guy had a brain disorder. He is really a prodigal son. He was rushing to give money to others.
Isn't it just looking for trouble?
Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly, and thought to himself, maybe this is just Fang Jifan's wish, so let him build it, although it is certainly impossible for the Fang family to spend too much money to build a new palace. A mansion is just an expression of my filial piety, since he is like this, how can I have the heart to refuse.
Looking at this son-in-law, Emperor Hongzhi felt much more at ease. A son-in-law is better, better than a son. Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "In this case, then I... will grant it, and I will trouble you."
Fang Jifan got the decree, and his eyebrows were beaming: "My son obeys the decree."
Fang Jifan felt flattered.
When it comes to building royal gardens, Fang Jifan is still very experienced. In his last life, he had the honor to visit the Old Summer Palace and carried out some historical restoration work on the Old Summer Palace. Many materials probably have some memories. I, Fang Jifan, made an Old Summer Palace. I am very happy .
It's just that no one thought that Fang Jifan actually took this will seriously, and everyone only thought that Fang Jifan was just meaning it. Naturally, soon, no one cared about this 'small matter'.
Emperor Hongzhi cheered up, and began to care about the desert: "Now, the crown prince killed the Tatar Khan. It can be said that he has worked hard. I am afraid that there will be great changes in this desert. The court must pay attention to it at all times. If there is a new lord The chieftains use this to rise up, and they need to be careful. Hey, in this desert, even if a chieftain is killed, it will take less than thirty years for a new chieftain to jump up. These Tatars, unruly Unruly, sometimes, a real headache."
"Your Majesty..."
"Father..."
Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan almost spoke in unison.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the two.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan modestly: "You speak first."
Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, please don't worry. This desert will, from now on, be under the control of my Ming Dynasty forever. It is impossible for any hero to rise up."
Emperor Hongzhi looked suspicious: "Oh?"
Fang Jifan said with a smile: "It won't be long, I can guarantee that at that time, the soldiers and civilians in this desert will scramble to attach themselves to my Ming Dynasty. As long as my Ming Dynasty can properly settle it, this desert will forever be my Great Ming's barrier from now on."
This guy can be considered astonishing and endless.
What Zhu Houzhao actually wanted to say was this. After all, this was Professor Fang Jifan’s own at the beginning, and he nodded hurriedly: “Yes, what Lao Fang said is right, don’t worry about your father!”
