A jaw-dropping emergency report was delivered to the capital.

Emperor Hongzhi's chin even fell off.

Last time, he saw Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan lying on the map, his eyes covered with bloodshot paper, and he thought that these two were just a joke.

But who would have expected...

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were red.

"Where is the prince? Where is the prince? Call him here."

I am not dead yet if I issue a proclamation without authorization. You are so brave.

This Annan Kingdom is indeed hateful, but what are you, Zhu Houzhao, doing all day long?

Emperor Hongzhi looked up.

Looking at the ministers, the ministers looked at Emperor Hongzhi with resentment.

His Majesty, you can do it yourself. How will this end?

Emperor Hongzhi felt his scalp numb.

Seeing that an eunuch hurriedly went to pass on the crown prince, Emperor Hongzhi remembered something: "There is Fang Jifan, and Fang Jifan also has a share, and it comes together."

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at the ministers again, and the ministers' faces became even more ugly.

In recent years, the court's etiquette and law have collapsed a lot. Everyone can tolerate the past, but can this... still endure it?

It's unreasonable to not give an explanation.

Emperor Hongzhi said, "Look at me, I won't beat them to death!"

The ministers were expressionless and did not rejoice for His Majesty's words. If they could be killed, it would be great, but the problem is that everyone knows that this is just a "angry word" from His Majesty and has no meaning.

"Your Majesty." The person who spoke was Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites. Zhang Sheng said: "Ruan Wen, the envoy of Annan, hopes to see Your Majesty. He believes that the Ming Dynasty regards conquests as a joke, and Annan is not wrong. This move of the Ming Dynasty..."

"I know, I know." Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "I don't see you, what do I do when I see him? You can negotiate yourself."

Zhang Sheng said in his heart, how can I negotiate? The manifesto has been released, so I will negotiate*?

Zhang Sheng was angry. He was the Minister of Rites. He only then did the proclamation come out if the Ministry of Rites wants it.

Zhang Sheng couldn't help but say, "Then Ruan Wen also said that if the Ming Dynasty wanted to repeat the mistakes of Emperor Wen, the Annan Kingdom would have been united in unity and fought the army that had invaded the south to the death. He stayed here and did not return to the country immediately because the Ming Dynasty had previously adopted Annan as a country that did not conquer, but now, he suddenly issued a manifesto, intending to conquer, which was a treason and hope..."

"Enough, no need to say anything more." Emperor Hongzhi said coldly.

Suddenly, my heart became even more angry. This...is causing big trouble.

All the manifesto has been issued, will you return it at this time?

During the reign of Emperor Wen, the country was so prosperous. Although the two expeditions of Annan were progressing rapidly, the Ming Dynasty became weak because of this Annan, which consumed a lot of the national strength of the Ming Dynasty. But now, are the soldiers of the three armies as brave as Emperor Wen? Are the generals today good at fighting when Emperor Wen? Emperor Wen is fashionable and so, and now they still have to fight against Annan.

Although Annan's envoy was rude, he also evoked Emperor Hongzhi's concerns.

yes.

If you repeat the same mistakes, you cannot advance and retreat, and you cannot retreat, and you can reach a dilemma. What should you do if you are in a state of dilemma?

Now I immediately issued an order to take back the crown prince? This obviously made the court feel like a joke.

Annan Kingdom invaded border towns, which was a conclusive matter. Guizhou's inspectors and central officials confirmed this matter. If it was taken back, wouldn't it be...

The prince and Fang Jifan have put me in a corner.

Emperor Hongzhi gritted his teeth and looked at the ministers.

Liu Jian was also worried: "Your Majesty, the old minister also thinks that this matter is too much of a joke. Now, the whole world is in trouble. There are too many places where the court has to spend money and food. There are so many places. If the court makes a big move, the old minister will only be afraid that at that time..."

"I think so, too."

"I'm going to discuss it."

Almost everyone expressed their concerns in unison.

This... is so crappy.

When Emperor Wen's army entered Annan, it was exhausted.

In the north of Annan, there are mountains and ridges. If the army wants to pass, how much supplies it will take to spend. Moreover, the Ming army is a guest and the Annan people are the master. The right time, place and people are all occupied by the Annan people...

How many years will it take to enter Annan? If it is one or two years, it will be fine, but if it is delayed for three or four years, how many people will die and how much money and food will be consumed.

If you have money, it is not like this.

Emperor Hongzhi sat down without saying a word.

He also understood these words.

He knocked on the document: "What should I do then? What should I do?"

What if this happens, it reveals the helplessness of Emperor Hongzhi.

The manifesto has been made public to the world.

This is what the prince means.

If the emperor immediately issued an order and took back the order, not only the Annan people laughed at, but people in the world would also think that in the inner palace, the emperor and the crown prince would be disagreeable, and people would think that the crown prince had no prestige.

How can the prince be without trust?

Zhang Sheng said seriously: "I think that for the safety of the people of the world and countless soldiers, Your Majesty should issue an order to instruct the prince to summon Annan envoys to clarify the matter, and order the people of Annan to submit a statement and admit their mistakes. The court took this opportunity to take the blame and take it back."

This seems to be a solution.

Emperor Hongzhi did not make any statement. Obviously, although he agreed that such a method was indeed rational, even if he wanted to kill Zhu Houzhao, he would never want to accuse the prince of his mistakes in front of the world, making the world think that the prince was an absurd and unjust person.

Zhang Sheng said sadly: "Your Majesty, you must not make mistakes again and again."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "I think about it again."

Zhang Sheng sighed and stopped talking.

"Have the prince and Fang Jifan arrived?" Emperor Hongzhi said angrily.

After a long time, the eunuch came and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the Prince and the Prince Consort... Until now, I have nowhere to be found. It's just that someone heard yesterday that they were going to inspect the nearby farms, but I don't know which farm they went to. Maybe they were in Longquan Temple, maybe they went to Tongzhou, maybe... they had already ordered people to search everywhere, I want to come..."

Emperor Hongzhi's face turned pale and a mouthful of old blood was about to spurt out.

Isn’t this obvious that the two people ran away? Looking for? Find a ghost!

"Dig three feet of the ground, dig three feet of the ground for me, and bring them back to me."

………………………………

Tongzhou is a good place. There is the Grand Canal here, which is a thoroughfare and is very lively.

All the resources of the capital will pass here, and ships will travel south, and the grain and cloth from the south of the Yangtze River will also be sent to the capital through this.

Outside this Tongzhou, there is a farm in Longquan Temple, which was dedicated to Longquan Temple by a wealthy gentry decades ago.

Fang Jifan never regarded himself as an outsider. His nephew's things were no different from his own, and he did not have to be divided too much, so the military farms also set up a seed cultivation base here.

There is a courtyard in this farm where Fang Jifan temporarily lives.

Zhu Houzhao naturally came too. After thinking about it, he had to avoid the limelight at the moment. According to his father's temperament, he must be very uneasy at this time. If a person is impulsive, it is difficult to guarantee that he will do something irrational.

It’s just a pity that there is no Wen Yansheng here, which is a very regrettable thing. The two of them ate badly here.

However, Zhu Houzhao felt very happy in pain. Every now and then, she rode a horse to beat some hares in the nearby forest. She happily learned from Wen Yansheng's method, took out her internal organs, added thirteen spices, and roasted them.

Fang Jifan had something to do, and he was not going to hide like this. He hadn't married a princess yet, because this matter would probably be delayed. However, there were several auspicious days in the past two months. If he missed it, he didn't know when he would have to wait.

Zhu Houzhao excitedly took the iron filament and skewed rabbit meat, and put the fragrant rabbit meat in front of Fang Jifan: "Eat quickly, eat quickly, I heard that there are many wild animals nearby. I will take people to try it tomorrow. Lao Fang, why are you worried?"

Fang Jifan said: "I am worried about my family."

Zhu Houzhao was happy: "A man is a real man and is a family in the world. This time, before our plan is successful, we dare not go back. The father is impatient and will really beat people. Look at me, I don't think about the East Palace. Do you know that the princess, Shen, whom I was pregnant a few days ago, was pregnant, and she was pregnant. I won't come out with you too. You have to relax and be embarrassed."

Fang Jifan looked surprised. This Shen was the concubine chosen by His Majesty and the sister of his disciple Shen Ao. Unexpectedly, she had just married into the Eastern Palace and became pregnant.

Since the cut, His Royal Highness... has really let himself go.

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao with admiration: "Your Highness has so many descendants. I admire you very much, I am really convinced."

Zhu Houzhao was happy and laughed: "This is nothing. I am not bragging, and I am not just capable of this. You can wait and see. By then, my son will have more than your disciples."

Fang Jifan held his chin and began to think about it.

Zhu Hou took care of Fang Jifan: "Lao Fang, what are you thinking?"

Fang Jifan said with emotion: "Your Highness is so diligent, it is admirable. I think I must work hard too."

"Work hard, what are you working hard?" Zhu Houzhao was confused.

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao deeply: "Try to be like your highness, give birth to more babies. The Fang family has too much money. If you don't give birth to a few more, how can you lose it?"

Zhu Houzhao laughed: "Ahha..." He was just halfway through laughter, and suddenly felt strange. This guy was thinking about having a baby, and in his mind was thinking about who to have a baby... Following this idea, Zhu Houzhao was angry and pinched Fang Jifan's neck and shook: "The surname is Fang, you are not allowed to talk to me about having a baby in the future, and you are not allowed to mention a word..."
