MTL - Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty-v2 Chapter 1662 Annunciation

  Chapter 1662 Annunciation

   Liu Yi wanted to die.

   He even wanted to smash his head on the ground for a split second, several times.

  But soon, he thought of...

Fang Jifan is so ruthless and merciless. If he dies, the whole family doesn't have to go to Luzon, but with his vengeful temperament, his wife and children will never be at peace. God knows when the time comes. What is right.

  People like Liu Yi are actually not afraid of the emperor at all.

  After all... At his level, even though he is not a famous official, as long as he doesn't make any serious mistakes, even if it offends the emperor, he will retire from office, return home, and go home to live his life.

   What's more, the emperor also needs face, so he won't intentionally embarrass a courtier.

   But he is afraid of people like Fang Jifan. With such a person, you never know what crazy things Fang Jifan can do and what methods he will use to target you.

  Emperor Hongzhi didn't intend to hit Liu Yi in his heart.

  I just simply felt that instead of staying in Nanjing and talking about Liu Yi, it would be better to simply send him to Luzon, at least... out of sight is out of mind.

In addition, what Fang Jifan said is right. Those gentry, don’t they have a good relationship with Liu Yi? Since they cherish each other, it would be great if Liu Yi was the chief envoy of Luzon. Anyway, immigrants from Luzon They are all gentry and no one else. Doesn't Liu Yi love the people like a son?

  For the gentry, they know Liu Yi's name if they want to come. Liu Yi has set an example, and many of them have inextricable relationships with Liu Yi. So...Liu Yi's presence there can somewhat reassure them.

What Emperor Hongzhi wanted to do was to be the father of the people in the world. Although the gentry was hit hard this time, it did not mean that he regarded the gentry as aliens. As long as the gentry did not affect his big policy, he should give Those who take care need to be taken care of.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "This proposal of Jifan relieves me of a heavy burden, my dear family."

  He looked at the officials in Nanjing: "What do you think?"

  "..."

   Everyone didn't say anything at first, what else can they do at this time, is it possible to be against Qi Guogong? But... everyone doesn't want to go to Luzon!

On the contrary, Emperor Hongzhi was very happy with everyone's silence, so he said with a smile: "It seems that none of you have any objection to this... Well, the person who committed suicide by hanging himself, please send someone to comfort him, he is dead after all, and should not be underestimated. His family is small, so he also takes care of him. As for the funeral, he will be ordered to deal with it according to the circumstances."

   After Emperor Hongzhi finished speaking, it was considered an agreement. After a lifetime of exhaustion, he went to rest.

  Fang Jifan went out with the six ministers.

  The face of Liu Yi was ashamed, all thoughts were destroyed, and his heart was full of panic. The other people couldn't help but look at Liu Yi sympathetically.

  Fang Jifan was aggressive, and as soon as he was out, there were already hundreds of guards waiting outside, and they rushed to invite him to board the car.

   At this moment, behind Fang Jifan, Liu Yi called out: "Qi Guogong...Qi Guogong..."

  Fang Jifan stopped, turned around and said, "What's the matter?"

Liu Yi stepped forward and said: "Can you ask the Duke of Qi to report on your behalf, go to His Majesty to beg for mercy, and let the official stay in Nanjing, the official...the family has a little money, at least three to five thousand taels... I still hope that the Duke of Qi... "

  At this point, Liu Yi has lost his mind.

Fang Jifan's face suddenly changed, his eyes widened, and he shouted sharply: "Do you still want to bribe me with something like a dog? Don't say it is three or five thousand taels, it is six thousand taels, seven thousand taels, I, Fang Jifan, will not even look at it Look, Fang Jifan is an official, and I am dedicated to serving the people of the world. Do you, a genius, use these things to insult me? There are so many people who can go to Luzon, why can't you Liu Yi? Greed for life and fear of death? What use does the court want you for? Get out of here, and don’t let me see you again in this life, let alone hear these words about a little money in your family, or I’ll break your legs, Don't think that you are a Shangshu, it's a big deal, I have a great righteousness in my body, like you are such a monster, so what if I kill you?"

   After finishing speaking, Fang Jifan swung his sleeves with an angry face, and walked away.

After boarding the car, he was still aggrieved. The place where Fang Jifan lived was right next to the Xiangguo Temple, and there was a house purchased by Fang's family. To be honest, Fang Jifan himself couldn't remember how many houses the Fang family had. , and only after arriving in Nanjing can I barely remember that there is my own house here.

   After walking for a while, Fang Jifan saw a familiar figure on the carriage, people were pointing around him, and this person was disheveled and bloody, looking very scary.

this is…

  Fang Jifan immediately asked people to stop, hurried down, walked up to the crowd, and kicked the spectators in front of him.

  The crowded crowd suddenly became chaotic, and the person who was kicked turned around viciously: "Who, who dares to kick..."

  Dozens of guards rushed out from behind Fang Jifan, and shouted: "Duke Qi is here, and no one else will step down."

  The man stopped talking abruptly, and looked around inexplicably in horror. After he kept silent, he quickly got into the crowd, and the rest of the spectators had long since disappeared.

  Fang Jifan looked a little embarrassed. He didn't like someone calling his name in public. After all, Fang Jifan was not a person who liked to use his name to disturb people.

   And here, only the ragged man remained.

   This person just stood there in a daze, staring at Fang Jifan in a daze. Countless people jumped past his eyes, and his eyeballs did not move or shake.

Fang Jifan stepped forward quickly, and then hugged the ragged man: "Eunuch Xiao, you are still alive, great, great, it's good to be alive, I think about it day and night, and miss you every day." what…"

  Xiao Jing's body trembled, his cloudy eyes seemed to become a little clearer.

  After being yelled by Fang Jifan, countless pictures flooded into his numb mind instantly.

  It's the Duke of Qi...it's the Duke of Qi...

  Xiao Jing was moved to tears.

  People are like this. In this most difficult moment, seeing any old person, this emotion will continue to magnify.

  Even before, everyone had some intrigues with each other, and occasionally there were some suspicions, but at this moment, in Xiao Jing's mind, there is only the picture of Fang Jifan helping the old man to cross the road, let alone a person who has experienced life and death.

  Xiao Jing suddenly got into Fang Jifan's arms, and he cried.

   A sobbing voice said: "Yes, yes, I'm still alive, fortunately I'm still alive, we... our lives are suffering, Your Majesty and Qi Guogong just left, the inn was robbed, we... we..."

He sniffed his nose desperately, but the corners of his mouth were grinning, but the saliva flowed out unsatisfactorily. He closed his eyes, with a look of unbearable looking back, and stubbornly pulled Fang Jifan, who was beginning to dislike him, and continued: "Qi Guogong...Qi Guogong ...They tortured us for several days and nights. We died once, and then they dragged us back again, and then continued to beat us to death. To be able to see Duke Qi...it would be the best... Your Majesty, Your Majesty Is it okay? We want to see the emperor, we want to see the emperor."

Fang Jifan immediately ordered someone to put Xiao Jing in the carriage, let the carriage carry Xiao Jing first, and did not forget to comfort him: "Don't worry, you will see the emperor soon, Mr. Xiao, don't be afraid, good days are coming, don't worry In the car, we will be there soon."

   Then, Fang Jifan got out of the car in a hurry, and told the driver: "Make a detour."

  So, he got on the horse and walked away in a hurry.

  …

   "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... overjoyed..." Fang Jifan went and returned excitedly: "Eunuch Xiao... is still alive."

  Emperor Hongzhi was putting on his clothes and reviewing the memorabilia. When he heard this, he couldn't help shaking his body.

  He raised his head in astonishment, looked at Fang Jifan who had rushed in, the ink pen in his hand fell down with a slap, and then said in surprise: "Is he still alive?"

Fang Jifan said conveniently: "Yes, he is still alive, but his body is covered with cuts and bruises. Hey... My son saw him, and I felt really sorry. When I found him, he was surrounded by many people with malicious intentions. I don't know if there are any thieves. Your Majesty also knows that my sons and ministers have always acted bravely in the face of righteousness. Seeing that it was Eunuch Xiao, without saying a word, he rushed forward and kicked those people with malicious intentions away, so that Eunuch Xiao was saved. Now is an extraordinary time. They are all plotters, if the son did not arrive in time, the consequences would be disastrous. Mr. Xiao was... seriously injured, so the son was afraid that he would not be able to bear the bumps, so he let him lie down in the carriage, and he will arrive soon, son First, let's report to His Majesty, so that His Majesty won't miss you."

  Emperor Hongzhi gasped.

   His lips twitched, and he murmured: "Alive."

   During his visit to Jiangnan this time, what Emperor Hongzhi regretted most was the loss of Xiao Jing.

  Emperor Hongzhi has almost decided that Xiao Jing must die.

  This person has gone through several dynasties, during the Chenghua period, he has been watching him grow up. The relationship between master and servant is far beyond the comparison of ordinary people.

What's more, compared to other eunuchs, Xiao Jing is still doing his duty, but he has worked hard all his life, how can he think that when he is old, he has not really enjoyed the blessings with him, but was killed by a thief, what a pity for Emperor Hongzhi what.

   And now I know...Xiao Jing is still alive...

   "God bless you." Emperor Hongzhi lifted his spirits and said a little excitedly: "Okay, very good, Jifan..."

Emperor Hongzhi had a bright face and said energetically; "I have troubled you this time, and you have contributed a lot. Hurry, hurry... First invite the doctor to come, I will take a look at him, and then let the doctor treat his wounds in this palace immediately .This time...he must have suffered a lot, and encountered danger along the way? This group of rebellious officials and thieves, hmph, they dare not act presumptuously in front of me, but they still want to murder Xiao Banban? It is a heinous crime and a frenzy."

Fang Jifan sighed and said: "I can't guarantee that they are thieves, maybe they are just watching the fun. I am an honest person, and I dare not take credit at will. Your Majesty said that the credit is indispensable. It is really embarrassing. , my son can't afford it."

  Emperor Hongzhi gave Fang Jifan an appreciative glance: "You are young, you know you can't take credit for yourself? Don't be humble anymore. I know what kind of temperament you are."
