Emperor Hongzhi rushed to the warm room and sat down.

Liu Jian is here.

The two looked at each other.

Liu Jianxian smiled bitterly: "I have troubled Your Majesty, but I will die."

"Don't talk about these." Hongzhi decided to Dingshin: "Since Tumu Fort, the Ming Dynasty has been supporting the Tatars and pursuing the Oirat. The Oirat has declined for decades and is increasingly bleeding. It is exhausted and its defeat is only on the day. But even so, the court still blindly indulged the Tatars, and the reason is..."

Emperor Hongzhi paused and said, "It's because of hatred that blinded our eyes."

This was a feeling of emotion, but after that, "What should come will always come. The ambition of the Tatar wolf is obvious. Attacking Jinzhou... This little prince is really a good plan."

"Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince and Fang Jifan." Liu Jian couldn't help but interfere.

The peace of the world over the past decade has made the whole court a little paralyzed. Liu Jian thought about it and felt scared. If the prince and Fang Jifan had not made the arrangements desperately before, I still didn’t know what the situation would be.

"Crown Prince..." Emperor Hongzhi's face looked like a smile, and then he pulled out a letter from the imperial case and handed it to Xiao Jing: "Parent Xiao, let's take a look at Liu Qing's family."

Xiao Jing also got up early in the morning. He was shocked when he heard that he had really attacked Jinzhou.

He actually felt a little pitfall because the East Factory had not received any information before this, and this East Factory was not as good as Fang Jifan.

Therefore, he seemed a little scared, afraid that His Majesty would blame him.

Now His Majesty suddenly mentioned the letter, and suddenly... Xiao Jing remembered something.

Yesterday's letter...

This Liu Jin... is such an absolute cheat.

What should I say?

Eunuch Liu regards fame and fortune, and spends all his family wealth, and also needs to push out the credit. By the way, he will cheat His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...

Xiao Jing lowered his eyebrows and looked at him, but his old face thrust. Why didn’t he see Eunuch Liu like this? Sure enough... this guy is still tender.

Xiao Jing forwarded the letter to Liu Jian.

Liu Jian looked strange, took the letter, opened it, and was stunned.

His expression became weird.

This is indeed the letter written by Liu Jin. In the letter, all the relationship between the solid walls and clearing the world was pushed to Fang Jifan and Ouyang Zhi.

In this way, this warning has nothing to do with His Highness the Crown Prince? The reason why His Highness the Crown Prince stirs up with Fang Jifan is just because he has a good relationship with Fang Jifan?

Is that true...

There is also a strong wall and clear field, but it has nothing to do with him, Liu Jin. It is all Ouyang Zhi's arbitrary behavior. In the letter, Liu Jin actually scolded Ouyang Zhi for harming the people.

“…”

A eunuch, who speaks about military and civilians, is so pitiful, stands on the standpoint of the people and criticizes a Hanlin...

It's so rare to love the people with such a sincere heart...

I'm afraid there are no eunuchs who have spoken so righteously since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

After putting down the letter, Liu Jin was shocked and immediately said, "So, was Fang Jifan warning, and Fang Jifan secretly instigated His Highness the Crown Prince. It was Ouyang Zhi who opposed the public opinion in Jinzhou and implemented the matter of firmly rectifying the walls and clearing the country?"

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and said, "From the letter, it's probably the case, but... the prince was young after all, so what could he know, but... Fang Jifan's age..."

Shaking his head, Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have slowly begun to accept the fact that genius and fools were.

After a while, the ministers arrived one after another.

They entered the palace overnight, and were all out of breath, especially Ma Wensheng, the Minister of War, with a tragic expression. He felt that he was becoming more and more bored.

Previously, he swears that the Tatars should not attack Liaodong, but the facts are right in front of him, this is a real slap in the face!

Although he, the Minister of War, may not have much responsibility, because the prediction of such war is the responsibility of the officials below, and the Secretary of War is not responsible for the specific and detailed matters, even so, Ma Wensheng still feels a little ashamed.

When he saw Emperor Hongzhi, he hurriedly bowed to the imperial city in panic and said, "The old minister has died."

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at him, but did not get angry, but said, "Get up, the Ministry of War didn't expect it, you didn't expect it, and I didn't expect it."

As he was talking, Zhu Houzhao, with a pair of dark circles, also arrived in a hurry. He was trying hard to suppress his inner excitement. He stood still and asked, "Father, did the Tatars attack Jinzhou?"

The voice was faintly excited.

This is actually understandable. After being misunderstood for so long, especially being impeached by the censor continuously, Zhu Houzhao had already been angry. Now that he has indeed attacked Jinzhou, does not this prove that this palace is correct? Looking at those censors, who dares to talk nonsense?

But Fang Jifan entered the cabinet from behind Zhu Houzhao, but he set a standard demonstration for Zhu Houzhao...

"I am shocked to hear the bad news and feel sad. Your Majesty, the 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou are not guaranteed every day. Your Majesty must be worried. I would like to ask Your Majesty to mourn."

“…”

Zhu Hou took care of Fang Jifan...

He quickly applied what he learned, and suddenly he had a tense face, showing a deep look, and said sadly: "Yes, yes, my son is also very sad, and he feels very heartbroken."

Emperor Hongzhi glared at Zhu Houzhao with a bad look, but at this time, he didn't have the heart to pay attention to Zhu Houzhao, but looked at Fang Jifan deeply and said, "Fang Qing family, have your brain disease been cured?"

"It's better." Fang Jifan said.

Emperor Hongzhi said gently: "Young people should cherish their bodies even more."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty..."

This time, Emperor Hongzhi did not feel disgusted by Fang Jifan's upcoming flattery, but just smiled slightly and said, "Let's talk about the serious matter. You probably know the matter. What's even more terrible is that the Tatars attacked Jinzhou in advance was that the Tatars came and went like the wind. Now Jinzhou is in danger. I will call you here. There are two things. The first thing... is Fang Jifan. There are 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou, and a total of 100,000 people.

In Liaodong, we guarded the border town for our Ming Dynasty, and there was a bitter and cold place outside the pass. Compared with the people we were in the capital, I and you, in this warm and spring palace, they were hungry and cold, and the court would have been sorry for them. But now, if Fang Jifan had not seen through the Tatars' intentions, if Ouyang Zhi had made a quick decision and acted cheaply in Jinzhou and under tremendous pressure, these 100,000 people would have been destroyed by the Tatars' butcher knife."

Everyone remained silent.

In fact, everyone was shocked.

What Fang Jifan predicted happened.

People who have reached their status cannot believe that there are any gods and ghosts in this world.

The only explanation is that Fang Jifan has a unique vision. At a young age, his mind is actually different from ordinary people. To put it more pretentiously, this is an extraordinary person.

Zhu Houzhao looked at his father with hope, but saw that his father did not mention him, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Is this my real father?

It was obvious that he and Fang Jifan were under tremendous pressure at the beginning.

Emperor Hongzhi gave Xiao Jing a wink, and Xiao Jing understood.

Then, the memorials were moved to the imperial case. Emperor Hongzhi pointed to the memorials and said calmly: "I have kept these memorials and never posted them. They were all sent by my censor and six departments to the officials. The only thing that impeached was that the prince and Fang Jifan made the orders. What a great evidence of this is..."

Finally talking about himself, Zhu Houzhao wanted to burst into tears.

But then, Emperor Hongzhi continued, "Think about it, how much pressure Fang Jifan is under. If he had not been loyal in his heart or compassion for the people, he could have pretended not to know, and no one would blame him."

"..." Zhu Houzhao was a little confused. It was not right. He had just said that the censors impeached him and Fang Jifan. In the end, Fang Jifan was the only one who was under tremendous pressure...

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi's voice gradually became harsh: "It can be seen that this loyal minister was not shouted by the so-called righteous words in these memorials. What is righteous words? Fang Jifan is the righteous words. I and the scholars and officials have always been magnanimous to them. But this time, if we do not severely punish the censors who provoked Fang Jifan, how can we clear Fang Jifan's injustice? If the imperial edict is passed, all the Hanlin and the officials who submitted the memorial will be fined three years' salary!"

Everyone was silent. Now, no one can tell that this is wrong.

Emperor Hongzhi continued: "There is also Ouyang Zhi, a Hanlin writer who cares about his family and country, and thinks of the people. How many ranks is he in? He is just from the sixth rank. From the sixth rank, he faces the command of the third rank, an inspector, and a middle-level official in Jinzhou. Which of these people is not a high position and power, and which one is not in Jinzhou is intricate. He can advocate a strong wall and clear the country without the guidance of the court. This courage makes me admire him."

Emperor Hongzhi has always liked Ouyang Zhi, and he liked his calmness. Compared with Fang Jifan, Fang Jifan's disciple was indeed deeply appreciated by Emperor Hongzhi in terms of personality.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi did not hide his appreciation for Ouyang Zhi at all, and said sincerely: "This is a Qilin. Among scholars, it is rare to be able to do such a courageous job. You should reward them with great rewards!"

Compared to Fang Jifan, Liu Jian and others kept some distance from Fang Jifan. On the one hand, Fang Jifan was a nobleman, and everyone was not on the same line at all. On the other hand, Fang Jifan gave people an unreliable feeling!

On the other hand, Ouyang Zhi and Liu Jian admired it very much!

So when he heard Emperor Hongzhi's words, Liu Jin stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I have long seen this boy be able to make a fortune. It is rare to see that he can be so stable at such a young age. If he has a little temper, he will be able to take on the great responsibility."
