Emperor Hongzhi's sage arrived in Changping County.

The county magistrate of Changping County led the assistants to take over the command.

Because everything is simple, there are not many people to greet you.

Emperor Hongzhi ordered the county Zhongya Hall to sit down.

There were hundreds of officials standing around and there were more than a dozen people ill along the way, and the rest were not feeling well. Fortunately, there was a charcoal basin in the county government, which was warm.

Changping County Magistrate Yang Ping gave a big gift first.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded at him: "I am in the capital, and I heard that all officials have good words about Changping. They all say that Changping is a good place. I am in the capital, and after hearing this, I am in the capital, I am also yearning for it."

Changping County Magistrate Yang Ping immediately looked lit up and said immediately: "I am very ashamed."

"I heard that Changping County has a harmonious government, no relic can be picked up on the road, and no doors are closed at night, right?"

Yang Ping looked up and looked at the ministers, all of whom looked at him with appreciation.

His heart almost jumped out.

I still want to be humble.

But if you think about it carefully, Changping has indeed not had any trouble in the past few years.

Now, I am so valued by His Majesty and all officials. Is it time for me to become rich?

He bowed and was frightened: "I am very ashamed. How dare I be harmonious with myself? It's just that the people work together to make peace in the county. It's just that the county is stable."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and was quite satisfied with Yang Ping's answer.

Chen Feng, the right censor of the Censorate, couldn't help but stand up and said, "Your Majesty, I have come all the way. Since I entered Changping County, I have seen chickens and dogs hear each other and the people are harmonious. Especially after entering the county town, there are no refugees or all the religions on the way. I think it depends on Mr. Mao Ji's teachings. Your Majesty, the classics of saints, since the world has been passed down, and all the dynasties have regarded it as a treasure. Why? This is because the Han people read the Four Books and understand the Five Classics, so they know honor and disgrace and understand great righteousness. This is also the difference between the Han people and the barbarians. The difference between the Han and the barbarians lies in this, Your Majesty..."

Everyone nodded, looking very moved.

I didn't read my own books in vain.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and interrupted Chen Feng and said, "I wonder if Mao Qing's family is here?"

"..." Everyone looked at me, I looked at you.

"Your Majesty." County Magistrate Yang Ping said: "Mr. Mao Ji, since he preached in Dayang Mountain, he has never cared about common things. I have already visited me before, but..."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "All the great men of ancient times are like this. Let's go and invite them again, using my will."

Yang Ping nodded.

Emperor Hongzhi was exhausted and he was detained by all officials.

Fang Jifan stayed to accompany him.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan: "Jifan, what do you think about Changping?"

Fang Jifan shook his head: "I don't know."

"Hmm?" Emperor Hongzhi said: "I see what you have to say."

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, since I entered Changping, I have hardly seen a single person along the way. How could I know if Changping is good? But... In this way, it is pure. I think the people are doing well. How much is Mr. Mao Ji? People highly respect him and regard him as a model. The ones I always like are moral people. This is because there is only benevolence, righteousness and morality in my heart..."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "Yes, yes, I know, don't always talk about yourself."

Fang Jifan was ashamed and had a resentful look on his face, coughed: "If one person said this, my son would not believe it. If two, three, and ten people said this, my son would be very smart and would not be fooled easily. But there were 1,000 people in the capital, who were sure of the words and praised him, and there were countless people inside and outside the court, and my son thought that even the ancient sages were just like this compared to Mr. Mao Ji."

Fang Jifan paused: "With such a saint in Changping County, how could it be wrong?"

Emperor Hongzhi listened and thoughtfully, and couldn't help but say, "Did I really meet the great saint? In this way, I hope to see Mr. Mao Ji even more."

"My son also wants to meet him." Fang Jifan said happily.

"But..." Emperor Hongzhi said: "But, since you said that you have never seen the people along the way, I have no peace of mind after thinking about it carefully. There is one thing that I have the most sensible to rule the world. It is called the sameness. Only when people have the sameness can they have conscience."

Emperor Hongzhi stood up, held his hands behind his back, thinking: "For me, the so-called similarity is just to go deep into the people and experience the sufferings of the people. I don't see the people, so I can't feel at ease."

Fang Jifan was eager to try: "This is easy to deal with. I will just capture ten or eight people and come to your superiors. No, I will invite ten or eight people."

"You are confused." Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and couldn't help but look at Fang Jifan with a blame. This guy is really casual, he can do whatever he wants, speak without any restraint. No wonder he offended so many people. "Do you still remember what I was in Tongzhou?"

Fang Jifan said happily: "Your Majesty... Could it be..."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Parent Xiao..."

Xiao Jing bowed and said, "I am here."

Emperor Hongzhi said, "Go and prepare."

If it were in the past, Xiao Jing would have said in surprise, Your Majesty, this is inappropriate.

But now, his face was dull and he blurted out in one sentence: "I obey the order."

Your Majesty has changed.

I have to change myself.

If you still remain unchanged, you will return to the desert to eat ashes sooner or later.

"I will definitely do my best to arrange it."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and turned to look at Fang Jifan: "It's a pity that Wang Shouren is not here, and there are not many capable people around me."

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, why not secretly entrust His Highness to come and protect His Majesty?"

"He is in the army. Before I come, I will let him be ordered by the marquis in the army. I will come here to see this Mr. Mao Ji first."

Fang Jifan nodded with a smile.

Now, it’s a mule or a horse, so it’s time to take a walk.

What exactly is Changping County? What is the so-called Mao Ji's education made Changping look like? Naturally, His Majesty was to see with his eyes and listen with his ears.

In the evening, Emperor Hongzhi summoned all officials as usual and gave him a banquet.

All the officials finally had a comfortable residence, and they were resurrected on the ground one by one, and they all became energetic again.

"Your Majesty." Xie Qian, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, said: "I am ordered to send someone to Dayang Mountain to ask Mr. Mao Ji to come out of the mountain. Mr. Mao Ji... said that he was unwell. He hoped that His Majesty would forgive him."

Didn't come...

Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

But in this hall, some people exclaimed, obviously, people like to eat this, which is what readers say.

The emperor called himself not to board the boat and claimed that he was a wine fairy. What a courage.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "Go and invite me again."

"yes."

Seeing that Your Majesty was so generous, many people laughed. This is a model for the wise and wise rulers. This is enough to spread it as a good story.

But after the banquet, Emperor Hongzhi returned to the house of the Houya, with his hands behind his back, but seemed a little angry: "What is Mao Ji doing? If I don't call him, do you want me to visit the cottage three times? Humph!"

The story of visiting three times to the cottage is loved by readers.

And the famous scholars also like to put on airs.

Emperor Hongzhi used to be very fond of this.

But now, I can't help feeling resentment.

After having dinner with all the officials, they felt relieved.

Emperor Hongzhi immediately began to change into regular clothes.

Xiao Jing had naturally made arrangements and selected dozens of imperial guards. Taking advantage of the night, Emperor Hongzhi immediately took Fang Jifan and went on a trip.

It was night, and snowflakes were dancing all over the sky.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the dark ink like night, but suddenly felt a lot of emotion. Only Fang Jifan was beside him.

So Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan: "Jifan, you lower your head, what are you thinking about?"

"My son is thinking about what to do to make my Ming Dynasty peaceful all over the world." Fang Jifan said with great enthusiasm.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Is that true?"

"Yes." Fang Jifan said seriously.

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were faint: "Do you know what I am thinking?"

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty is so wise, he must be like a son, thinking about how to benefit the people."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "You are wrong, I am thinking, the prince... When I was young, the prince was still young, so I loved to hold his hand and travel in the capital at night."

"Your Majesty is the wise and wise..." Fang Jifan sighed: "Your Majesty can still think of the prince. This is the love of his parents and is also the common human nature. Your Majesty is the Supreme Lord of the Nine Five and the son of heaven. But there is such a lot of emotion in his heart. It is not accidental that Your Majesty can become a benevolent king, but because Your Majesty always has this lot of emotion."

Xiao Jing stood behind, sneakily took out the charcoal pen and bamboo piece from his sleeve, and wrote down the words "The King of Benevolence", "Parents' Love", "All Life" and other words on the bamboo piece.

Emperor Hongzhi said suddenly: "I am also a father. In the past, I was full of energy and didn't feel tired when I walked at night. But now, I have only taken a few steps and I am a little tired. "

"His Majesty……"

"Thank out your hand."

Fang Jifan stretched out his hand.

Emperor Hongzhi held Fang Jifan's hand.

Fang Jifan's palm brought a little warmth.

“…”

Fang Jifan was thinking randomly.

Your Majesty married my daughter to me, is it because Your Majesty fell in love with me?

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and looked up at the sky: "Where is the Lord of the Nine Five? What is the son of the Heavenly Emperor? I am the son of the former emperor, the prince and your father. Those sacred things are just the way of the emperor's rule. People in the world can believe it, but the prince and you cannot. Let's go, I will take you to visit Changping County at night, and see what this political and harmonious person looks like?"

Fang Jifan felt warm and blushed: "Your Majesty is really a saint... Ah, I won't say the saint anymore, Your Majesty, please."

Xiao Jing followed behind. When he heard Fang Jifan speak, he wanted to secretly take out the bamboo piece, but when he heard Fang Jifan say nothing, his face changed. Don't say anything? You guy, you continue to talk.
