Boom...

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, a thunder suddenly sounded outside. The sky turned dark, dark clouds rolled, as if a heavy rain was coming.

Fang Jifan's face turned pale because of his fright.

But when I saw Zhu Houzhao's face remained unchanged.

Fang Jifan said: "Empress Zhang is the mother of His Highness, how can she be tied up? You might as well..."

Fang Jifan narrowed his eyes: "We are open and upright, please let Your Majesty set off."

Zhu Houzhao was immediately unhappy and felt that this seemed to be of no interest.

It was already raining heavily outside.

Liu Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Jifan looked at Liu Jin with a smile: "Sun son, you have worked hard all the way. You are in Baoding Prefecture, how are the new policy of Baoding Prefecture implemented?"

Liu Jin thought for a while: "There are all kinds of delicious food, just say eat..."

Zhu Houzhao scolded: "You dog, you know how to eat it."

Liu Jin: "..."

Fang Jifan smiled and said, "Your Highness, Liu Jin's grandson, don't blame him. What he said makes sense. Food is the most important thing for the people. If you eat too much, does not mean that the government and people are harmonious? But when it comes to eating, I am hungry and have less oil and water in my stomach."

…………

The heavy rain was so heavy that the court had just begun, and the rain outside hit the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The eunuchs entered one after another, put down the curtains, and then someone lit the palace lanterns.

Emperor Hongzhi sat on the imperial throne without saying a word.

The court proposal was chaired by Liu Jian.

What we are discussing today is exactly the matter of the Beijing Prefecture.

Wu Kuan reported to the matter of the capital inspection one by one.

People admired Wu Shilang. When he heard that Tongzhou was the best in the capital, the ministers were immediately in an uproar and nodded to say yes.

In addition to the Shuntian Prefecture, the prefectures in the capital, and after Tongzhou, it was Yongping Prefecture. Later, it was Tianjin Guard. Although Tianjin Guard was just a guard, it became more and more important because of the construction of ports, so it was also outside the guards.

The one that makes people feel unsatisfactory is Baoding Prefecture. Baoding Prefecture is ranked second to last except Daming Prefecture, and even Zhending Prefecture is better than him.

Wu Kuan introduced solemnly: "Baoding Prefecture was investigated during the Beijing inspection. Fortunately, the prefect Ouyang Zhi was honest and honest, and was a competent official. However, his subordinates were of different quality, and most of them were third-class..."

The hall was buzzing again.

Han Yan, the censor of the Censorate, stood up and said, "Since this is the case, these mediocre officials should be lifted out to prevent the people from being harmed."

Some people also said excitedly: "Ouyang Zhigu is a clean and honest person, but he is a rare talent. He is competent in the prefect, but he has many officials and is not harmonious. Isn't this because he is ignorant of people and cannot purify the administration of the prefect? ​​Therefore, this is also the fault of the prefect Ouyang. The court should reprimand him and teach him to keep the lesson in mind."

"The new policy is related to the foundation of the country. Today, it seems that the new policy in Tongzhou is not comparable to that of Baoding Prefecture. Yang Yiqing was very hardworking and made great contributions during his tenure. I beg your Majesty to issue an order to commend his merits."

Seeing this chaotic situation.

Liu Jian was just the host and didn't say anything.

But the officials were very excited.

Everyone talks about it, it is very lively.

But for the sake of my heart, Liu Jian was relieved, and Yang Yiqing was indeed fighting for it.

Ouyang Zhili advocated promoting lowly officials to officials, which was a violation of the rules in the court. Liu Jian admired Wang Bushi very much, but it did not mean that he agreed to do so.

If so, then... what do scholars do on the title of the Golden List?

Emperor Hongzhi did not say a word, but deep down, he was quite disappointed with Ouyang Zhi. He was more optimistic about Ouyang Zhi, but... the Beijing Chase memorial was already up. In just less than a year, Tongzhou had already been in harmony with the government, while the counties of Baoding Prefecture were in chaos under the rule of mediocre officials. Sure enough... these people were inexperienced.

If virtue is not in harmony with the position, there will be disaster.

What the saint said was indeed correct.

All the officials seemed to be greatly inspired.

After a long talk, Liu Jian just saluted Emperor Hongzhi: "I beg your Majesty to sanction the ministry."

Emperor Hongzhi paused: "Issuing an order to approve the Tongzhou Prefecture, as for Baoding Prefecture..." Emperor Hongzhi was a little confused, and he was silent for a moment: "I will make some reprimand first. If I don't correct it, all those who have the third-class merit exam will be demoted to serve as a warning to others."

The officials were quite disappointed. They were eager to resign now.

But obviously, Your Majesty still wants to keep Ouyang Zhi’s face. If he directly resigns, Ouyang Zhi will become the commander of the bare hands.

Liu Jian said: "Yes."

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "I have issued an order to order King Xing from Anlu to come to Beijing. I and him are brothers. I haven't seen each other for a long time and I miss you very much. I have received the express report and will arrive next month at Zhang Qing's house."

Zhang Shengdao, Minister of Rites; "I am here."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "You will go to the suburbs to greet each other in person, and you must not be neglected."

"I obey the order."

Emperor Hongzhi breathed out, but felt a little depressed.

Ouyang Zhinai was the one who relied on the most and favored, and even... he believed that this honest, loyal and capable young man could enter the cabinet to assist in the government after being tempered. However, this time, he exposed Ouyang Zhi's shortcomings and trusted the people around him too easily, so he was blinded by a group of minor officials and promoted them with fantasy ideas. However, now it seems... it seems to have a counterproductive effect.

"Okay, let's stop here today. It's raining heavily outside. Please leave first."

The ministers cheered up and retreated.

Emperor Hongzhi sat alone on the golden throne, took the Beijing Procuratorate memorial from Wu Kuan, and then took the red pen and made a red note, and then said: "Xiao Jing."

"I'm here."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Cross the news from the residence, and everyone in the world heard about it."

"Sister obeys the order."

But not long after, someone came to report that the prince and Fang Jifan had arrived.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly: "They still remember me, I actually thought that they had forgotten me."

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan entered the hall.

Emperor Hongzhi deliberately did not go to see them, looked down at the memorial, and said slowly: "You are going to enter the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble."

"Father," Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "My son went to Longquan Temple to calculate his fortune today."

Emperor Hongzhi looked displeased: "I remember that Li Shangyin once wrote a poem saying: It's a pity that the seat in front of the night is empty in the middle of the night, and he doesn't ask the people about ghosts and gods. This sentence is about the old story of Emperor Wen of Han summoning Jia Yi. Those who are kings and crown princes will be satisfied with their destiny. Why should we ask about ghosts and gods and futures? Although I have heard of it for a long time, Longquan Temple is very effective, but no matter how effective it is, it cannot be like this."

Zhu Houzhao was ashamed and couldn't help but secretly glance at Fang Jifan, and seemed to be saying in her heart, Lao Fang...what will I say next?

Fang Jifan was happy: "Your Majesty's words are really admirable, and my sons think so, but it's no wonder that the Crown Prince is just the damn Longquan Temple, who wants to climb the dragon and attach to the phoenix, so he repeatedly asked the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince... It's just because of the real face given by the court. In the future, the Crown Prince will definitely not dare to learn from the lesson. As for the Longquan Temple, it's really damned, and it's actually bewitching the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince suggested that he be killed by the whole family of Longquan Temple to serve as a warning to others."

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

There was a noble man in later generations who said it was really good, that is, people always like to reconcile and compromise. For example, if you say that the house is too dark, you must open a window here, and everyone will definitely not allow it. But if you advocate demolishing the roof, they will reconcile and are willing to open the window.

Emperor Hongzhi was disgusted with Longquanguan because of this, and the fortune-telling was on the head of the prince. What do you... want to do?

But after hearing Fang Jifan begging him to kill all the Longquan Temple, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt that these Taoists from Longquan Temple were quite pitiful, so he felt compassion. He put down his pen, looked up, and said with a stern face: "What is the hexagram of Longquan Temple?"

Zhu Houzhao said: "This means that the ministers are of great importance to each other. In the future, they will become an emperor of the ages, and even the emperors of ancient and modern times cannot reach..."

The emperors of ancient and modern times were not as good as those of them, and Fang Jifan didn't know.

But Fang Jifan was anxious.

Your Highness, can you please be more handsome? That was not what you said when you came.

Emperor Hongzhi laughed in silence: "You are so brave. Longquan Temple will not dare to say the next time. You are talking nonsense again. If you really have this ability, what is the emperor of the age? I am relieved. I am afraid that you will not reflect on yourself and be reckless, which will harm the people of the world."

Zhu Houzhao opened her eyes wide: "The father said this but looked down on the son minister. The father and the son minister had something to say, but he didn't know whether to say it or not."

Emperor Hongzhi looked cold: "Since you don't know whether to say it or not, then there is no need to say it."

Fang Jifan had subconsciously started to move his steps away from Zhu Houzhao.

This bastard, he forgot everything he had just agreed on and started talking nonsense again.

It's heartbreaking.

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "My son is brave enough to say it. Although the father is still a saint, I always think that if my father is too obedient and trusting, my son is different. I have to see everything in my son. In this way, I will not be deceived by others. I heard that the new policies in Tongzhou and Baoding Prefecture are in full swing now. I want to ask my father to go and see with my own eyes what the most important new policy in our Daming is like. I would like to ask my father to approve it."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned. This kid hasn't beaten him for a long time. Has he forgotten that he is my minister and my son?

He spoke very loudly and his voice was harsh.

It's like I'm a confused insect.

Emperor Hongzhi narrowed his eyes: "You want me to go and see Baoding Prefecture and Tongzhou."

Zhu Houzhao: "..."

Fang Jifan immediately said, "Your Majesty, you can't hide anything from your Majesty. My son is very ashamed. This...this...this...this...this is thinking..."

Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "Since you think this is the case, why do you know about the Beijing Prefecture? You are here, but you are dissatisfied with the Beijing Prefecture of Wu Qing's family and are not convinced?"
