Vol 2 Chapter 1111: His Majesty knows everything
Chapter 1111 Your Majesty is aware of the details
Emperor Hongzhi looked at these people, old and young, tall and short, fat and thin.
It's really... neat.
It's just... something is missing.
Emperor Hongzhi reluctantly smiled: "You don't need to be too polite, come and give me your seat."
The crowd said: "The grassroots dare not, the grassroots look up to the grace of heaven, and pray to His Majesty for the gift... and Yang Zhizhou..."
Emperor Hongzhi looked at them with a smile on his face.
These people talked about how the weather has been going well recently, and the benefits brought by the New Deal.
Yang Yiqing, who was sitting by the side, was smiling.
Furthermore, these people are well-organized and well-informed. Even before the royal driver, they can still behave like a rite.
All the officials accompanying the driver nodded their heads in approval.
Emperor Hongzhi held the case in hand, and after listening for half an hour, he glanced at Yang Yiqing in relief: "Yang Qing's family is really well managed. These countless people praised the Qing family for the rebirth of Bao Zheng. I am very relieved." .”
"Your Majesty." Yang Yiqing said: "This is the credit for His Majesty's advocacy of the New Deal. What do you want me to do?"
"Yes, yes, this is all thanks to His Majesty." The common people praised in unison.
Emperor Hongzhi looked around: "I have toured here, and I can see that the people live and work in peace and contentment, so I can rest assured. I am tired. Come, let me go and have a rest first."
He got up.
The ministers sitting aside breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, this trip was not in vain.
Especially that Wu Kuan, his eyes lit up when he heard that Yang Yiqing took the excess tax money to help the people.
He stroked his beard and listened so fascinated that he almost applauded.
Wang Ao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, had a smile on his face, but there was a bit of worry on his face.
The rest of the people had different expressions, but they were all silent.
After Emperor Hongzhi got up, Xiao Jing wanted to step forward to help him.
Emperor Hongzhi opened Xiao Jing's hand and said, "Jifan, come and help me."
Fang Jifan stepped forward, and Emperor Hongzhi held Fang Jifan's hand.
Yang Yiqing didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly led Emperor Hongzhi to the house.
This house has already been renovated after His Majesty issued an edict to tour. Although the behavior of Emperor Hongzhi is not as grand as the Daming Palace, it is all meticulous.
Fang Jifan and Xiao Jing, one on the left and one on the right, accompanied Emperor Hongzhi as he was going to enter the palace to rest.
Emperor Hongzhi said: "When I arrived in Tongzhou, there is no place here. It is not in good order, and the people are also very good. This is the credit of the Qing family. The Qing family's implementation of the New Deal is still in line with my wishes. I have toured here, wasting people and money. , It really shouldn’t be, especially if it bothers Qing. All the ministers who accompany you also need to rest, so Qing’s family should treat them well.”
Yang Yiqing was excited and bowed down: "I... obey the order."
Emperor Hongzhi entered the 'Xingdian', Xiao Jing was busy pouring tea for Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi frowned and remained silent.
Fang Jifan said conveniently: "Your Majesty, I will take my leave first. I am afraid that Your Majesty will have to take a walk in Tongzhou early tomorrow morning. I think it will be hard work, and I will come tomorrow..."
Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "Wait a minute."
Fang Jifan stopped.
Emperor Hongzhi stared deeply at Fang Jifan: "Tongzhou, what does Jifan think?"
Fang Jifan thought for a while: "My son didn't see anything, my son is very dull."
Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Hey, it's not just you who are stupid."
"No, no, no." Fang Jifan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise, but my son is dull."
Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "I am also dull."
"Your Majesty, you said this yourself." Fang Jifan subconsciously said.
Emperor Hongzhi glared at Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan chuckled, revealing his true colors: "I am also afraid of responsibility, my minister speaks frankly, please don't take it to heart."
Emperor Hongzhi said quietly: "When I arrived in Tongzhou, what I saw was indeed orderly. The people I saw were not without knowledge and reason. Listening to their performances, I know that Yang Yiqing really loves the people like a son. The other officials, I am also diligent in official documents, and it is impeccable, but I feel that there are some things that I have not seen. What I want to know is not only that, if I only look at this, then... what is the point of this tour? "
Fang Jifan took a deep look at Emperor Hongzhi.
He knew Emperor Hongzhi very well.
If it was ten years ago, or even a few years ago, Emperor Hongzhi would never have said such a thing.
Your Majesty has changed.
Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty is right. Sure enough, what I said is correct. Your Majesty is indeed a saint. I have been learning from Your Majesty..."
Emperor Hongzhi squeezed his hands: "Stop doing this, I... want to visit this Tongzhou privately."
"What..." Fang Jifan was dumbfounded, private interview!
Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan: "Qing accompany me."
Here...is not the capital.
If there is a slight mistake, how can Fang Jifan suffer.
Tongzhou is the thoroughfare.
What is a thoroughfare? It means that there are people from all over the world, and there are countless people from all walks of life. Fang Jifan...is not stupid. He just wants to survive, to make a living for the common people, to sell more houses, and to support more people. He never thought of doing such a risky thing.
But…
If you refuse, His Majesty, he...
Looking at Emperor Hongzhi looking at himself with scorching eyes.
Obviously, Fang Jifan is the son-in-law of Emperor Hongzhi. In Emperor Hongzhi's heart, he is a trustworthy person. This is a trust. He believes that Fang Jifan will definitely do what he wants.
If you are greedy for life and afraid of death at this time, or afraid of getting into trouble, His Majesty must be very disappointed in his heart.
Fang Jifan looked calm, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty has this intention, and my minister agrees, but...Since your majesty wants to relax, it is easy, but... Xiao Gonggong will go, and my minister will go."
Xiao Jing was so frightened that his face changed, and suddenly he had the desire to urinate again. He slapped and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, slave... slave thinks, no. This... this... this is going to happen, this place is not the capital , If there is a slight mistake, what will His Majesty do, servants... can't afford it."
Hearing the words "can't afford to bear", Emperor Hongzhi's heart turned cold, and he couldn't help but glanced at Xiao Jing, his eyes were full of disappointment: "Xiao Banban, you grew up with me, but how could you think that you are better than me? Son-in-law, don't worry about it."
Fang Jifan chuckled: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed."
Emperor Hongzhi's expression turned cold: "However... I've been thinking about it for a long time. This trip is so motivating and mobilizing people. I can't come in vain. I still have to go. If you don't want to go, Xiao Jing, you have to go."
As he said that, Emperor Hongzhi's face softened, and he glanced at Fang Jifan: "I know you are not at ease, so why not, I will bring a few trustworthy guards and let them wear commoner clothes."
Fang Jifan was ashamed: "Your Majesty, I suggest that you bring along your protégé Wang Shouren, he is... more powerful."
Wang Shouren is an escape expert. In history, Liu Jin chased and killed him. He was alone, and he actually ran faster than a rabbit. Those assassins were far behind.
Plus, Wang Shouren is proficient in archery and horse, and his martial arts are powerful. With him around, Fang Jifan can rest assured.
"Very well, you all prepare quickly. This matter must be kept absolutely confidential, and we will leave at dawn tomorrow."
...
At dawn the next day, Tongzhou City was still dead silent.
Emperor Hongzhi and his party were already wearing the clothes of ordinary servants, and under Xiao Jing's arrangement, they took advantage of the night to go out.
The entire Tongzhou City, for some reason, remained silent.
Walking on the street, Emperor Hongzhi frowned even more when he saw this coldness.
Along the way, there are imperial guards, but fortunately Xiao Jing has a badge in his hand, so no one dares to make things difficult. After leaving Xingzai far away, the imperial guards gradually became scarce.
Emperor Hongzhi found a place of confinement before he changed into ordinary clothes.
After being completely released from the prison, Emperor Hongzhi felt refreshed.
Fang Jifan looked left and right, looking at this Tongzhou City, as if every place, he was calculating in his heart, if this place is demolished, if it is planned to be a luxury residential area, it would be great if there is a big theater there, etc. .
This is a professional habit.
Because of the thoroughfare, Tongzhou City does not have a city gate. Walking along the canal, gradually, some people live there.
People don't seem to care about it. With His Majesty's arrival, many people on the canal are already busy.
Along the canal, there is a low wooden house, looking around, there is no end in sight.
At this time, occasionally some rooms were lit, and Emperor Hongzhi had been away for a while, but in a room, there was a sudden cry.
Emperor Hongzhi stopped, the cry came from a woman.
Xiao Jing immediately understood what His Majesty was thinking, and wanted to go forward to inquire.
Emperor Hongzhi stepped forward and said, "I'll go and have a look."
Fang Jifan looked very helpless, His Majesty is really a curious baby.
It seems... everything is novel.
Everyone knocked on the door, and after a while, the door opened, and there was a man with a suitcase on his back, while two women were already in tears, an old woman, obviously the man's mother, and a young one, Apparently it was his wife.
The man looked at the eight or nine people outside, and was stunned for a moment.
Emperor Hongzhi didn't know how to talk.
But Fang Jifan was excited, Fang Jifan said: "We are in business. I heard some people crying here, so I thought something happened."
The man's expression softened, he shook the burden on his shoulders, and saluted, "It's just that I was about to leave home to work, and my mother and wife were reluctant, so I cried, and nothing happened. It was so early in the morning, which made people laugh."
Emperor Hongzhi subconsciously said: "Oh? Work? Where do you go to work?"
The man frowns, it seems that at this time, he is not in the mood to answer Emperor Hongzhi's question, and his mother and wife are still very sad at this time, so they feel that Emperor Hongzhi is rude, so they can't help but say angrily: "Go to Baoding Mansion, Where else can I go?"
