Chapter 864: The emperor's grandson is on vacation

  Chapter 864 The grandson of the emperor is on vacation

  Emperor Hongzhi did not continue to ask further questions.

  Actually, Xiao Jing understands very well, His Majesty... There is nothing he can do about His Highness the Crown Prince's neglect of work.

  Okay...then...just let it go.

   "By the way, Your Majesty." Xiao Jing said with a smile: "There is a big happy event. On the first day of next month, His Royal Highness will have a ten-day summer vacation. I just heard about it."

"what?"

   This is really a happy event. Emperor Hongzhi visibly lifted his spirits, and immediately threw the matter of Zhu Houzhao out of the blue.

  Just now, his face was still a bit dull, but at this moment, his whole face became alive, and he said in surprise: "Didn't it be said that there will be fakes at the end of the year? Where did you get the news?"

  Xiao Jing said with a smile: "The end of the year is a big holiday, and Captain Fang said to the outside world, thinking that the children will not see their parents, so there will be a small holiday in summer, with ten days."

"It's kind of daring!" Emperor Hongzhi said happily: "I don't know... What's going on with Zaimo now, I really miss him very much, I dream of him in my dreams. There are several times when I want to go to Xishan and see it with my own eyes, but... Hey... It's good to have a vacation now, it's really great..."

  Emperor Hongzhi was overjoyed: "I will inform the Empress Dowager and Empress later, this good news must be told to them quickly, they must be very happy."

"Your Majesty obeys the order." Xiao Jing suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in fact... the emperor's grandson is your majesty's emperor's grandson, what does your majesty think, or not? This Captain Fang is really outrageous sometimes. , holding the emperor and grandson in his hand, let His Majesty..."

   "Shut up!" The smile on Emperor Hongzhi's lips suddenly disappeared, and he suddenly became strict, and snapped: "How can you interrupt the matter of education?"

   "Slaves and servants will die." Xiao Jing was startled, and quickly bowed down, knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue.

  How could he have forgotten that His Majesty's temperament has always been the most important in education, and this is a matter greater than the sky. Since he was a child, His Majesty listened to the words of his masters in a well-behaved manner, and took their words as a standard. Furthermore, His Majesty the Crown Prince has learned from others.

   Now he actually ate lard and went to speak ill of Master Huangsun. Isn’t this courting death?

  Emperor Hongzhi's face was livid, and he seemed to be extremely angry. After all, the anger gradually calmed down.

  He folded his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "You are also an old man in the palace. You respect your teacher, don't you know? From now on... don't do this."

"Yes, yes." Xiao Jing felt that he was already sweating profusely, he nodded hurriedly and said: "Servant... I am bold, in fact, I am just a little afraid that the emperor and grandson will go astray. Of course, I have no intention of slandering Fang Duwei. I just thought... the method he taught, some..."

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned and sat down. In fact, why wasn’t he worried?

  His first preferred master was Wang Hua.

  Although Fang Jifan is full of peaches and plums, his heart is still uncertain after all.

  And his method... might be effective against Ouyang Zhi and Wang Shouren.

   But after all, the emperor's grandson is still young.

   After much deliberation, the temptation for the emperor to become a person like Ouyang Zhi is too great.

  After a while, Emperor Hongzhi heaved a sigh of relief and said, "These things are not for you to discuss."

  Xiao Jing nodded: "Your servant understands. This servant should be damned, Fang Duwei...Although he is usually a little glib...but..."

Emperor Hongzhi picked up the teacup, sipped the tea, and said casually: "He looks treacherous, but he is actually loyal. What do you know? This Daming Palace is worth tens of millions of taels of silver. If you have the ability, you can give me one too." And the carriage, the Xishan Coal Mine. Even if Fang Jifan didn’t give it away, I would never criticize him because the Fang family is full of loyalty, but in this world, who is like Fang Jifan? It can be seen...he is a loyal man of."

   "..."

  Xiao Jing seems to remember that when Emperor Hongzhi came to the throne, he was extremely disgusted with ministers giving gifts or pleasing the palace.

   But now that I think about it, what His Majesty dislikes is not the courtiers pleasing the palace, but those brazen people who didn't offer a high enough price.

When Emperor Chenghua was around, a group of shameless people brought things worth thousands of taels to tens of thousands of taels. deliver.

  Whoever it is, I'm afraid I can't stand it.

  However, after learning this lesson, Xiao Jing became more vigilant. It seems that his tail has been raised a little recently. Since he also took charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, his position in the palace is aloof, so he has drifted away.

  In the future, you should be more careful and calm.

   "The first day of next month..."

  Emperor Hongzhi didn't have the time to worry about these anymore, and he was thinking about the emperor's grandson's vacation.

With his hands behind his back, he paced back and forth, and said with full of anticipation: "The first day of next month, this day... is coming soon, and for those two days, I will not summon the ministers for the time being, and I will send a note to the cabinet, asking them to be more considerate. There are still nine Day...um...nine days..."

  ...

  Tang Yin returned to the long-lost capital, uh...lost.

   After being instructed by others along the way, he rode to Xincheng abruptly with a burden on his back.

  He looked at the new city with surprise in his eyes.

  Finally, after making seven turns and eight turns, I found a work shed.

At this time, in the work shed, Fang Jifan was wearing a rattan hat, his eyes were wide open, and he was roaring angrily: "A group of dog-like things, Chang Wei, why haven't the construction deadlines caught up? The house will be handed over at the end of the year, and you will let the master's reputation What should I do, Shigong is also a man of honor, everyone in the capital is not good at respecting each other, if you let Shigong break the contract, I will definitely kill you!"

   "..."

  It's still that...familiar voice, familiar taste.

  The mentor has not changed.

  Although Tang Yin hadn't seen his mentor yet, but hearing this voice, his eyes were blurred by tears.

   But Chang Wei said pitifully: "Master, there is a shortage of manpower everywhere now, and the newly recruited refugees need to adapt slowly, and now all types of jobs need people, many craftsmen are already complaining..."

  Tang Yin's body trembled outside, his shoulders shook slightly.

  His face was stained with wind and dust, a bit more weathered than before.

  Suddenly, deep in my heart, there was a different kind of emotion, like a choke in my throat.

  He no longer hesitated, stepped into the shed quickly, and recognized his mentor at a glance.

  It's still as thin and tender, and at first glance...it's well maintained, with anger on its face, obviously, the teacher doesn't like others talking back to him, and he is getting angry.

  Tang Yin clicked...kneeling down.

   Then, he choked up and couldn't speak, his throat seemed to be stuck.

   These years in Ningbo, the wind and the sun, for him with a bad family, there is actually nothing in this world worthy of his heart, he just wants to do the things assigned by the court. But... the only thing I can't rest assured about is my mentor...

He cried.

  At this time, a pair of tearful eyes saw the teacher approaching: "Who are you?"

   "..." Tang Yin raised his face and watched with watery eyes.

   Sure enough... you are indeed a mentor...

  He said with difficulty: "Disciple...disciple..."

  Tang Yin's tears flowed down, and he finally said: "Disciple Tang Yin, I have met my mentor. Teacher... are you okay?"

  Actually, there is no need to ask about the last sentence. My benefactor has grown taller and matured a little, but... at first glance, it is pampered, how can it be bad?

   "Ah, it's Tang Yin, I almost don't recognize you as a teacher." Fang Jifan looked surprised.

  This time, talking about conscience is not heartless. Fang Jifan is a sentimental man with a rich inner world, how could he forget his favorite protégé Tang Yin.

   It's just that Tang Yin is obviously darker and stronger, with a tanned complexion, which is very different from the weak Jiangnan talent in the past, both in appearance and temperament.

  Fang Jifan was suddenly excited.

   This is my favorite student.

Fang Jifan hurried forward, helped Tang Yin up, and said: "Since you came back, why didn't you send someone to send the news? Even if you are busy, I have to pick you up. Get up and let me Take a good look at you as a teacher, hey, you have suffered, Bohu...Bohu..."

  Tang Yin could no longer restrain himself from embracing Fang Jifan, and the two master and apprentice covered their faces and wept.

  Chang Wei and the others stood aside, watching this touching scene, they looked at Tang Yin curiously.

   This is the legendary Uncle Tang?

  Chang Wei only entered school two years ago, and Tang Yin had already gone to Ningbo at that time, so for Tang Yin, he only heard his name, but he didn't see him.

   Everyone is a group of good children who respect their teachers, so everyone bowed down and said: "I have met my uncle."

Tang Yin turned a deaf ear to this, and sprinkled tears on Fang Jifan's shoulders, sucked his nose, bowed down again, and Fang Jifan said: "Students are in Ningbo, and they miss their teacher every day. ..."

   "I know, I know." Fang Jifan sighed, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Bohu, my mentor is in the capital, and I miss you every day. You six brothers..."

   "Mentor...seven people..."

"A slip of the tongue." Fang Jifan continued with a lot of emotion: "You seven senior brothers, which one is extremely important to the teacher, and which one is the heart of the teacher, Bohu, you have come all the way, want to come It must be tired and weary.”

   "Disciple is alright." Tang Yin looked deeply at Fang Jifan, fearing that in the blink of an eye, his mentor would disappear.

  Fang Jifan sighed and said: "Come, I will show you my masterpiece, and look at this new city. I have built a big house for you here."

  Fang Jifan was in a particularly good mood.

  When one's disciples come back, the teachers and students reunite, which is no different from the reunion of father and son.

  The past four years, Tang Yin has really worked hard.

  So, he personally dragged Tang Yin out of the shed, outside...is the new city...

  When Tang Yin came, he was only on his way, hoping to see his mentor even for a moment.

   Now seeing that his mentor still values ​​him so much, his heart feels warm.

   Only then did I have the thought to look at the scenery along the way.
