It was already a time for a group of ministers to go with them.

In Tianjin Port, a carrier pigeon has already arrived.

Under normal circumstances, any major military and political affairs will not be contacted through carrier pigeons.

Because this thing is really unreliable.

However... if there is a particularly urgent situation, and even if it is discovered by others, it is still reliable to use a carrier pigeon to deliver messages under conditions.

However, the cultivation of carrier pigeons took a lot of effort. The Ming Dynasty set up a carrier pigeon station between Tianjin Wei and Japan. At this time, someone took out a small parchment from the legs of the confidant pigeon and spread it. He looked at the person who was looking at the parchment and was scared.

Then, the parchment paper was turning and began to pass the news to the road.

In the hall, Ma Wensheng heard everyone scolding.

In his heart... he was quite complicated about this Fang Jifan.

This guy is indeed shameless to ask for money.

It's really shameless.

Everyone scolded them so hard that it seemed that as long as Fang Jifan was mentioned, many people would find common topics.

Anyway, it’s still idle... It’s useless to not scold me.

Outside, someone hurriedly headed in the direction.

Someone rushed in: "Don't you......Don't you... hurry up, hurry up... and prepare to see you."

"What's wrong?"

"The express sent from the Golden Continent was sent to Jinshan by a carrier pigeon, and then from Jinshan to Japan by a speedboat, and then to our Tianjin Wei..." The person who spoke was a small eunuch. The little eunuch looked frightened: "A big incident happened, the Franji man attacked Xinjin, and Xinjin... it was gone... and... Liu Gong was there and heard the news. There was no news about Liu Jie in this express, but Liu Gong was still anxious and almost fainted."

Everyone took a breath.

"What else happened?"

The eunuch looked difficult, and after a long time, he said, "There is also... Duke of Lu... Duke of Lu... died in battle... It is said that when reinforcements arrived, he suffered more than 30 injuries all over his body. Before he died, he went into battle himself, fought with the thief and recited a poem."

All of a sudden, everyone's face turned pale.

Duke of Lu...

Even Liang Chu had a cold war, and he asked, "What Shi?"

The eunuch said: "I wish to repay you on the golden platform and support Jade Dragon to die for you!"

In the hall, there is a silence like death, and the needles can be heard.

After a long silence, a censor suddenly said, "The Fang family is really a loyal and kind descendant."

"Yes, yes, it's really a loyal and kind generation. The Duke of Lu has not fulfilled his ambitions. It's a pity that the Fang family has been loyal to each other for generations. Even Fang Jifan's dog... No, Duke of Qi is still loyal and righteous in daily life."

"Duke of Lu made great contributions, but his son Duke of Qi did not make great contributions to the Ming Dynasty?"

Everyone sighed and nodded.

Liang Chu's eyes turned red: "When hearing this bad news, Duke Qi must be heartbroken. He is loyal to the country, and his father dies and his son succeeds. This family of loyalty is really admirable."

Everyone nodded even more powerfully, with regret on their faces, not hypocrisy.

But... death is the most important thing. At this time, people still say bad things about others. This is a matter of character.

Just because Duke Qi greed for dozens of taels of silver for everyone, he kept scolding him. He was still young, and in the eyes of those present, he was still a child.

What's more, Duke Lu died for the country, and his death was so tragic that it was awe-inspiring.

Someone gave a thumbs up: "In terms of loyalty and righteousness, the Fang family has been through generations, and there is really no choice. Masters, go and see the car. Your Majesty is just afraid..."

Everyone woke up and were full of thoughts.

The Duke of Lu died in battle, and died so tragically. Apart from this, who else can maintain the situation in the Golden Continent?

Once the situation cannot be maintained, the court has tried its best to voyage to the West, wouldn’t it be...

Everyone had a gloomy face, especially Ma Wensheng, who was even more worried. When they were there, the ministers saluted.

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked when he saw the report.

This is just a piece of parchment, and it is just a few words.

Because it is a express report from a carrier pigeon, there are not many things that can be recorded.

But the information here is already scary enough.

Emperor Hongzhi took off his glasses, wiped them, put them on again, and looked carefully.

After those glasses, their eyes were blurred with tears.

He looked ashamed and couldn't help but beat his chest and fall down, tears came out: "This is me who harmed him. He is not young anymore, but I ordered him to go to the Golden Island. Duke of Lu will serve me all his life. In the end, he will not be able to end up well. I... it is my fault."

All the ministers all looked pale and bowed: "Please don't blame yourself."

Emperor Hongzhi burst into tears. Duke Lu was not only his own family, but the Fang family had been through life and death for several generations. Now he thought about it... If Fang Jifan heard the bad news, he would not know what would happen, and he would be even more heartbroken.

Emperor Hongzhi gritted his teeth: "Franjiren, a wolf-like ambition, good, very good, I will never give up. From then on, my Ming Dynasty and Franjiren will be irreconcilable! Sooner or later, I will flatten Franjiren to save today's shame."

Emperor Hongzhi rose up, wiped away tears, and took off his glasses. Although his eyes were blurred, his eyes seemed to be as if they were still gods. He sternly said: "Duke Lu died in a foreign land, and tried his best to transport his body back to his hometown. If there was a way, all other soldiers who died in battle would be transported back. They died in the Golden Continent, but they should be buried back in their hometown."

Among the ministers, Liu Jian was missing. Liu Jian was in poor health. I think... it was because of his son.

Therefore, Xie Qian stood up: "Yes, the court will definitely transport them back regardless of manpower and material resources."

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "All soldiers who died in battle will be given pensions, except for that..."

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath: "The Duke of Lu was extremely brave, so he was able to curb chaos and cut off all the thieves. He was ordered to come out and succeed, without being proud or attacking, women had no love, no treasure, no flaws, and only one person could see the sun and the moon. He was only one person in this dynasty. He defeated the enemy and calmed the barbarians, and his achievements were carried out in ancient and modern times. He was a general and prime minister, and his talents were both civil and military. He was not only capable, but his loyalty and anger were inspired. He was willing to see the knife, saw, cauldron and cauldron, and he was willing to live for a hundred years. How many people were there? I lost my humerus today. I lost my Duke of Lu today, and it was like breaking my arm. It was painful, regretful, sad, and angry!"

Emperor Hongzhi was already furious and almost furious, but he took a deep breath to calm his endless anger. He said slowly: "I am dead in battle, I am sorry to posthumously award him the title of Prince of the County, follow the precedent of King Zhongshan."

The so-called precedent of the King of Zhongshan was that the founding general Xu Da was appointed Duke of Wei. After his death, he was posthumously named King of Zhongshan.

For example, after his death, Zhu Yuanzhang was very sad and posthumously named King of Qianning.

The opposite sex is granted a king, and he will not be granted a title unless he dies.

This is the rule.

Even if you die, it is a rare honor to be named King of a different surname, and it is enough to shine forever.

Emperor Hongzhi said this.

The ministers bowed down one after another.

Over the years, the Fang family has contributed a lot to the court. The Lu State has fairly tides over the southwest rebellion, managed Jiaozhi for the court, and brought Jiaozhi into his pocket. His son also made great contributions to the court. Since then, he has traveled across the ocean and guarded the Golden Continent for the Ming Dynasty. This is a life-long death, and it can be said that his achievements are over the sun and the moon. Now, he has died in battle. Your Majesty's move is reasonable.

All the ministers bowed down one after another, Xie Qian said, "I don't know what the posthumous title is?"

Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a moment: "Ask again!"

The ministers were silent.

Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes and showed a look of pain: "Your and others, please retreat quickly. Jifan, I have ordered people to spread this matter. I will tell him privately."

The ministers were complicated and they all took their leave.

They walked out in a mighty manner, but saw Fang Jifan coming towards him excitedly.

"Duke of Qi."

Everyone saluted.

Fang Jifan was uncomfortable when he saw the ministers who were rushing around, and was afraid that any of them would not control him and then beat him up.

It can be seen that everyone had a heavy face, but they saluted themselves one after another. Even some of the people who usually couldn't stand it were polite at this moment, and Fang Jifan felt a little relieved.

He hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty summoned me, but I won't talk to you too much, ah... See you again."

Fang Jifan wanted to run away.

Xie Qian called him: "Duke Qi, I have thought about it. In two days, I will buy a seat. I am old and have difficulty in legs and feet. Come on, I have fifty taels of silver here, so take it."

He took out a silver note from his sleeve and stuffed it into Fang Jifan's hand.

Others said, "I'll buy one too."

“I’ll buy one too.”

Fang Jifan was shocked, afraid that he would not be able to sell it.

Who would have thought that it was so popular.

Seeing everyone coming around, they took out the silver notes without hesitation and tried hard to stuff them into their hands.

Fang Jifan even doubted whether there was something wrong with these guys' minds.

"Uh... I won't sell it anymore, I won't sell it anymore, okay, enough, I'll collect these dozens of pictures, I don't want the others." Fang Jifan waved his hand quickly.

The ministers suddenly felt that Fang Jifan became cute. It seemed that his conscience still hurt. Sure enough, even the worst person in this world would have a good side.

Liang Chu was still holding a silver note in his hand: "Duke Qi, don't be polite to us. We are all old and don't sit, how can we bear it? You can accept the silver. It's very reasonable to pay for a chair when you watch the gift."

"Yes, yes, it's very reasonable."

Everyone nodded and looked at Fang Jifan with a sincere look.

Fang Jifan coughed: "This...this...in fact, I want to say that the price of seats has increased..."

“…”

silence.

Everyone looked at Fang Jifan and suddenly felt like an idiot.

Fang Jifan looked at them and did think that they were a group of idiots. The seats were in short supply and everyone was rushing to buy them. According to the principles of the market economy, shouldn’t they sit on the hike?
