MTL - Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty-v2 Chapter 1759 Marriage

  Chapter 1759 Marriage

  Fang Jifan's remark made Zhu Houzhao feel reasonable.

  As Fang Jifan said, these Confucian scholars, since they were racking their brains to make contributions, guessed what Suleiman was thinking.

  Then...it is not difficult to understand why he volunteered.

  In this way, from the beginning...it was arranged, but it was just a trick to invite you into the urn!

No matter how smart Suleiman is, this Ming Dynasty is too far away from Ottoman after all. The group of Confucian scholars around him must have a better understanding of Han than Suleiman. Their self-righteous thinking, so... It is not difficult for Fang Jifan to calculate the situation in the end.

  In this world... there is no one who is smarter than the other. The fundamental problem is who has more resources, who has seen the information, and who has a deeper grasp of the situation.

  When Zhu Houzhao thought that Fang Jifan dug a hole and buried Suleiman directly, he was overjoyed and said happily, "Haha... Lao Fang, Lao Fang, I really have you. But..."

   Speaking of this, he straightened his face: "From now on, you can't do such a thing again."

  Fang Jifan was surprised: "Your Majesty, why...?"

  This is not the Zhu Houzhao that Fang Jifan knows. Zhu Houzhao's favorite thing is to dig holes and bury people, and watching the excitement is no big deal.

   "This Suleiman, leave it to me in the future." Zhu Houzhao said confidently.

  Fang Jifan understood in seconds, and immediately said: "Suleiman is just a bug in front of His Majesty, but since Your Majesty is interested in him, I am a man of beauty."

  Zhu Houzhao felt a lot more at ease. The more he looked at Fang Jifan, the more he thought Fang Jifan was cute, and even his nose-picking behavior felt different. This... must be Aiwujiwu.

  He said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that when I was a teenager, it seemed like yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, my prince is going to get married. Lao Fang, I feel more and more time is pressing!"

  Fang Jifan also nodded.

  At that time, the prince was just a doll. When he was just born, he was as big as a big mouse. I remember Fang Jifan hugging him at that time, and I still remember the fear when he came to the new world, so that he was trembling all over his body.

   There was a sigh, and then Zhu Houzhao had someone summon Zhu Zaimo.

   Not long after, Zhu Zaimo entered the palace, made a big salute, and said: "My son has seen the father."

   Then, his eyes fell on Fang Jifan: "I have seen my mentor."

  Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan first looked at each other and smiled, and then Zhu Houzhao said with a straight face: "Have you been studying recently?"

   "Never have." Zhu Zaimo's answer is very straightforward!

   Zhu Houzhao's complexion suddenly became a little dark.

At this time, Zhu Zaimo said again: "I have been researching workshops recently, and found that the principles of this workshop and governing the country are consistent, especially in some large workshops in the capital recently, there are tens of thousands of people up and down. Reasonable use of rewards and punishments to restrain personnel, and how to enable everyone to perform their duties, is all knowledge here."

  Zhu Houzhao's face softened a bit, but he said: "You rebellious son, you are really confused. When I was your age, how could I be so idle like you all day long, I...Zhen..."

  Zhu Zaimo was terrified. He was extremely afraid of Zhu Houzhao, or maybe this was the psychology of the old Zhu family.

  He hurriedly said: "My son and minister will die."

"Do you think I dare not punish you? If I don't punish you today, don't you want to fly to the sky?" Zhu Houzhao continued with his hands behind his back, "Starting tomorrow, I will ban your feet for one year. You will never be allowed to idle around all day long."

  Zhu Zaimo's face became worse, with a look of sincerity and fear. He didn't want to stay in the East Palace all day long. What's the difference between this and killing him?

   But now, his grandpa is gone, and he has no more to rely on. He can only complain secretly in his heart.

  Zhu Houzhao held his chin, and then said: "Or... find another punishment? Well, what punishment is good? Then punish you to marry Fang Xiaofan."

   "Ah..." In an instant, Zhu Zaimo's mouth opened wide, and he was speechless for a while.

  Zhu Houzhao frowned: "What? Do you still dare?"

   "No, no, no." Zhu Zaimo quickly shook his head and said, "I...I obey the order."

  Zhu Zaimo began to suspect that he had fallen into a trap. After thinking for a while, the shadow of Fang Xiaofan appeared in his mind. His heart became hot, and he didn't know what to say.

  Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said: "It's settled like this. You are not young anymore. After you get married, you can take it easy if you think about it. Xiaofan is my family, and I just let her discipline you."

  Zhu Zaimo: "..."

  Zhu Houzhao said: "I gave her a bronze mace, what do you think of Lao Fang?"

  Fang Jifan's face pulled down: "Your Majesty, absolutely not, between husband and wife, there should be peace and harmony."

Zhu Houzhao shook his head: "This husband and wife are like two armies facing each other. Only when there is a deterrent between each other, can each other dare not act rashly, but what you said is also reasonable, we must be harmonious... Well, then I will give Xiaofan a bronze mace , and then give the prince a royal sword, so...you can sit back and relax. If they quarrel in the future, they will inevitably be afraid of each other, lest the quarrel escalate, raise the royal sword or copper mace, and kill them with their heads. With fear in mind, naturally I dare not make too much of a mistake."

  Damn it...

  Fang Jifan was shocked.

   So advanced, this... Could this be the legendary nuclear deterrence theory?

  Zhu Zaimo: "..."

  Zhu Houzhao turned his head: "What does the prince think? What's my idea?"

  Looking carefully, it is not difficult to see that Zhu Zaimo is sweating on his forehead, and he said expectantly: "I don't know what to say."

   "Then it's settled like this!" Zhu Houzhao said: "The mace is called the mace that fights husbands, and the sword is called the sword that kills wives. Only in this way can you be in harmony with each other, and you can be at peace with each other, so I can rest assured."

  Now that it has been negotiated, Liu Jin will send a letter to Empress Dowager Zhang.

  The Empress Dowager Zhang invited the Empress Dowager, and then called Empress Fang to discuss it, and then ordered someone to test the horoscope.

   This is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites. It must first go through the procedures of asking for names, Najib, accepting levy, asking for a date, and personally welcoming.

  The question of the name is to ask the horoscope of the birth date. Afterwards, Najib retrieved the horoscope and went to the ancestral temple for divination.

  However, His Majesty asked the Ministry of Rites to inquire about Longquan Temple, but no one dared to object.

  The Empress Dowager also readily agreed.

   Unsurprisingly, the news from Longquanguan was a match made in heaven.

Daoist Li Chaowen, it is said that they were shocked by their birthday horoscopes. He thought on the spot that this was a marriage that could not be reunited. This is a marriage destined by heaven. Limin...

  He quickly wrote a book of ten thousand characters, which explained the birth date in great detail. Although the words in it were jerky and difficult to understand, they made the empress dowager and empress dowager Zhang very happy.

   Next, everything will be done according to the procedure.

  Fang Jifan has no interest in these red tapes.

  He only cares about good results. His sister can find a good home. This is also the original intention of his father and himself. It is a must to study books and report the good news to his father.

  …

   Yumen Pass.

  At this time, Li Zheng didn't dare to leave the customs easily. He had been avoiding the limelight, hoping that the limelight would pass before leaving the customs.

  The manhunt outside is getting tighter and tighter, which makes him panic.

  Two guards, go out to check every day.

  Stayed in such a panic for more than a month.

  The guard came in hurriedly one day and said, "Li Shilang, Li Shilang, it's not good, it's not good."

   Li Zheng gritted his teeth in anger. Is there any more bad news than the current situation?

  He looked at the guard and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The news from Jingli, passed by merchants, is that Xishan New City has launched a large number of shops, and the sales of these shops are extremely hot. In order to compete for the shops, the price of this shop has gone up. It's more than two hundred taels of silver, and the amount is not small. Every now and then, a batch is launched. This Xishan New City... is going to make crazy money. What they mean is that the house for three taels of silver is sold The more people there are, the more people will flow in in the future, and the sales of this shop will naturally become more and more popular."

  Li Zheng: "..."

   Li Zheng was dumbfounded.

  At this moment... His heart kept sinking, to the bottom of the valley, his face was livid, and he was actually speechless.

   It's over.

   This is really over.

  In this way... this is not to kill one thousand enemies and hurt oneself three hundred.

   This is clearly meat buns beating dogs, where there is no return.

  In this way... This trip of mine not only lost countless gold and silver from Osman, but also allowed Fang Jifan, that bastard, to take the opportunity to build a new city.

  I was like carrying the sedan chair for that surnamed Fang.

   As soon as he thought of this, Li Zheng suddenly felt panicked.

  If this is the case, these news will be sent to Ottoman sooner or later. Perhaps now, Emperor Suleiman already knows the end of the matter.

  Then...even if I still have the face to go to see Emperor Suleiman, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear the sin of this day.

   Li Zheng hammered his heart, feeling like a knife was twisting his heart.

  Sin...it's a sin.

The guard and Li Zheng got along day and night, but they were kind-hearted. Seeing Li Zheng's current appearance, he couldn't help saying: "Li Shilang, why don't we say goodbye to you, we just pretend that we haven't seen you, this Osman, I'm afraid Li Shilang will If you can’t go there, Li Shilang will make a living by himself.”

"The world is so big, how can there be a place for this old man!" Li Zheng sighed with a livid face, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "I still have to go to Ottoman and see the emperor. Go to see him. Don't worry, no one in this world can kill this old man, no one can, it's nothing if you encounter some setbacks today, even if you return to Ottoman, this old man will teach the emperor to treat each other with courtesy, and in the future... this old man will still Comeback…”

  The guard looked at Li Zheng in amazement, he couldn't understand how this man who had reached a dead end put himself to death and survived.
