The next morning.

Liu Jian came in excitement.

He was very happy, and it seemed that he didn't have to be on duty today.

He woke Fang Jifan up, and as usual, he cursed in the bedroom. When he saw Liu Jian in the hall, he changed his smile.

"Hello, Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu is busy with all kinds of things every day, why... I have free time today..."

Liu Jian took a sip of tea, happily took out an imperial edict from his sleeve, and put it on the coffee table: "Please look at the Duke of Qi."

Fang Jifan took the imperial edict and said with a smile, "Since it is an imperial edict, why should you work to send it to Mr. Liu personally... This is too polite."

After a quick glance, there was an edict to order the Duke of Qi and the Duke of the Prince of the Concubine to inspect the Beijing camp. Fang Jifan was happy: "I didn't expect that your Majesty would do this to me..."

"This will." Liu Jian interrupted Fang Jifan and said, "It was not done by His Majesty, do you understand?"

Fang Jifan suddenly remembered what happened yesterday, and his face was a little stiff: "I understand, Your Majesty is really a wise and wise. I have this saint king in the Ming Dynasty, which is really a blessing for us ministers."

Liu Jian smiled: "This will comes from your west mountain!"

Fang Jifan's face changed slightly. After thinking about it, he nodded simply: "I understand. If I beat him to death, I would say that this is an imperial edict from the West Mountain!"

Liu Jian said again: "But where does it come from the West Mountain?"

Fang Jifan's eyes rolled: "Prince?"

"I didn't say it." Liu Jian coughed and continued to lower his head to drink tea. He immediately said, "In short, this order was not from the waiting room, nor was it passed through the cabinet. Of course... In fact, no one will investigate this in depth. This is just in case. Do you understand what it means when His Majesty gives you such a decree?"

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty is unpredictable. How can I guess if I am a fool?"

Liu Jian smiled and said, "You Fang Jifan is this imperial envoy. There is always someone to accompany you around the imperial envoy, and Your Majesty will accompany you."

"Ah." Fang Jifan finally understood why this order was determined and it was not from the palace.

Of course, as he said, ordinary people can only turn a blind eye to one eye, and no one will pursue this. If you really study it deeply, you will have to let the Prince's Palace take the blame.

Anyway... the reputation of the prince... Alas, it's hard to describe it, and everyone has long been used to it.

Fang Jifan finally couldn't keep praising him anymore and sighed, "Your Majesty has a lot of ideas recently. I am a minister and I can't keep up."

Liu Jian held the tea cup, blew the tea foam in the tea cup, and said lightly: "Your Majesty is the Lord of the Holy and Intellectuals."

He sighed quietly: "When the Emperor of Jing was making such a fuss yesterday, he couldn't sleep for a night. He was afraid of stabbing the hornet's nest, but he was unwilling to accept it. What he was unwilling to accept was the drawbacks in the military and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty. After thinking about it, he still had to go and see it with his own eyes, but he couldn't make a big fuss. After thinking about it, he had to come up with this bad plan."

Fang Jifan was moved, blinking, his eyes were not very competitive, and he couldn't shed tears. He could only let out a dry howl like a crappy celebrity: "Your Majesty is worried about the country, what a wise man..."

Sometimes Liu Jian was convinced by Fang Jifan, why could he always find any angle and various saints?

However, although the wise and wise mentioned by Fang Jifan was not sure whether it was true or false, Liu Jian's face darkened and said quietly: "Yes, I am really lucky to meet such a wise ruler in my life."

As he said that, he looked at Fang Jifan with a smile: "Look, although I am the chief minister of the cabinet and the Grand Secretary, I am called the prime minister, but in this Ming Dynasty, I don't look like I am powerful at all, right?"

Fang Jifan didn't know why Liu Jian expressed such emotion.

But nodded.

People like Liu Jian must have been powerful in all dynasties, but Liu Jian... as a prime minister, he has a sense of existence, but compared with his peers and predecessors, he is indeed... more mediocre.

Liu Jian's eyes were faintly: "What is the prime minister? The so-called prime minister is just the emperor's chamber pot. If the emperor has ambition, he cherishes his feathers; if the emperor has selfish desires and wants to satisfy his desires... then he will have a prime minister who is powerful. Although this prime minister is powerful, in fact... it is just the emperor who hides behind the scenes and controls it. The so-called party members are everywhere in the court, and the matter in the court is decided by one word. The essence is the emperor's indulgence. He can only borrow the prime minister's hands, but he does not have to taint his hands... The so-called emperor will have a minister. How lucky is I? Your Majesty regards me as my confidant, but he will never let me be a powerful minister. To this day... My reputation is still acceptable. Whenever I think of this, I feel grateful in my heart."

Fang Jifan looked at Liu Jian with caution: "I don't understand Liu Gong's words very well, let alone... these words should not be what a minister should say. Liu Gong should be careful of his words."

Lao Liu, do you really think that Fang Jifan is a second child? If this happens, I will discuss with you. Who knows if it is a trap?

Liu Jian smiled and said, "You are afraid of hearing the walls. What I said just now is the mind of the emperors. If I hear it, although I don't complain to you intimately, as a prime minister, it will be inappropriate to say these words, right?"

Fang Jifan said: "What did you say?"

Liu Jian also convinced Fang Jifan. This guy looked at him with a naive look and really treated him as a brainless person.

Liu Jian gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'm going straight to the point. I'm saying this to tell you that I'm the only son of Liu Jie. The Liu family continues the incense and rely on him. He shouldn't have any trouble. If something happens, don't think that I'm being cautious on weekdays and can't do anything to you. The clay man still has three points of fire. I'll destroy you!"

Fang Jifan was speechless. Liu Gong's circle was too big. As for this?

Seeing Liu Jian’s eyes blasting fire, Fang Jifan immediately said, “Stop the anger, calm down, Liu Jie is still alive.”

"Already alive?" Liu Jian was surprised: "Hmm?"

"Yes." Fang Jifan said: "The letters have been sent."

Liu Jian was immediately overjoyed and pulled Fang Jifan's sleeve: "Where is your faith?"

"What I gave to me was written on it was a teacher's personal enlightenment, not for Liu Gong, so I can't read it."

Liu Jian was anxious: "Okay, Fang Jifan..."

Fang Jifan smiled bitterly: "Give it, but..." Fang Jifan stretched out his hand.

"do what?"

Fang Jifan said with great sarcasm: "This letter is a fast ship. It took more than half a year to travel through half a world and bring it back. Of course, it was a postage, fifty taels of silver, and there was no negotiation."

Liu Jian: “…”

"I didn't bring it."

Fang Jifan was happy: "It doesn't matter, you can borrow, Xishan Money House, launch a small loan..."

Liu Jian roared: "Come on, do you take it, don't take it, don't take it, don't take it..." Liu Jian raised his hand, but soon, he regained his rationality and put his hand down: "I'm killed here."

Liu Gong’s character is very problematic.

Fang Jifan had no choice but to do anything about it.

After receiving the letter, Liu Jian took it. What made him feel heartbroken was that, sure enough, the envelope was written with the words "Master Fang Huijifan's personal invitation" and the disciple's kowtow.

Liu Jian took out the letter tremblingly, and suddenly, tears couldn't stop and they fell down.

Fang Jifan stood beside Liu Jian and looked at him, unable to help but be moved.

When they arrived at the Cape of Good Hope, they encountered a storm and the ship was seriously damaged, so they had to land on the shore for repair. So they contracted a suspected malaria disease. Liu Jie lost two companions and finally... survived.

Finally they arrived at the Golden Island.

Fang Jinglong, Duke of Lu, established the headquarters of Duke of Lu on a fertile land, and ordered people to build a city, which was called... Xijing. This is a system of imitating Nanjing according to the emperor's will, and first build an institution to manage the Golden Continent.

Liu Jie and others immediately began to help the military palace, where they built simple thatched houses and taught people to study. They either worked as doctors and searched for new herbs nearby; or worked as military personnel, held civilian positions in the army; or tried to contact the natives, spy on the military information of the natives, and study geography.

And countless military households began to arrive continuously, and it became lively there, but at the beginning, the conditions were the worst...

What Liu Jie did was to lead his men and horses to penetrate the hinterland and explore the geography and local culture. He had to find out the nearby natives and the scale of natives, and even... he needed to find out whether there were Franchise people nearby. He shuttled through countless forests and encountered countless poisonous snakes and beasts...

It is gratifying that he is still alive.

Except for a small part of the finger, it was broken by a falling rock, causing infection, and a piece of hand bone had to be cut off immediately to prevent the infection from expanding.

Liu Jian saw it, his eyes turned red, tears slammed down, and he hit the letter.

His body trembled, he carefully folded the letter, wiped his tears, sat down, and remained silent.

Fang Jifan said: "Liu Jieji has his own appearance. Look, isn't he still alive now? Liu Gong, don't be surprised. A man is determined by all directions, so Liu Gong should be happy."

Liu Jian took a deep breath: "I understand the truth. I still need you, Fang Jifan, to teach me? But I don't understand why you are the only one here who does nothing all day long."

Fang Jifan: "..."

This is a bit insulting. Without our Fang Jifan, your son can still go to the Golden Continent to pursue poetry and distant places? You can't break the bridge after crossing the river.

Of course, Fang Jifan understood Liu Jian’s mood as a father, and he sighed: “Mr. Liu, should we go to patrol the camp?”

Liu Jian sighed: "Don't take it to your heart. I don't mean to blame me. But...well, let's take care of it. Your Majesty... has left the palace and is waiting for you. Let's leave."

Fang Jifan nodded.
