Human nature is mostly like this.

Zeng Jie wants to speculate, and hopes to take this opportunity to rise to the top and soar into the sky.

And now...

At this moment, he was a little panicked, and hurriedly looked at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing was so frightened that his face turned green, and he immediately shouted: "Zeng Jie, you guessed the secret, are you guilty?"

Zeng Jie gritted his teeth, feeling extremely chilled, and opened his mouth to say something.

But I don't know how many people want to put him to death.

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were cold, and he said indifferently: "Come here, take this person down, hand it over to Jin Yiwei, and ask if he still has any party members."

Zeng Jie's face was ashen and pale, and his heart was burning with emotion, so he had no choice but to kowtow: "Chen...Chen..."

But someone has already stepped into the hall quickly and dragged Zeng Jie out without any hesitation.

After a while of hustle and bustle, the hall fell into a deathly silence again, and Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "I think you are tired, let's step back."

As he said that, he glanced at Xiao Jingren and others beside him: "You also step back."

All the ministers leave.

Xiao Jing seemed a little unwilling, but seeing that Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan stayed behind, he had to lead all the eunuchs to leave.

Emperor Hongzhi stared at the void, with a look of indifference on his face.

In fact, Emperor Hongzhi was quite excited in his heart.

This time the crown prince supervised the country, and it was extremely successful, which made him, as a father, very gratified. There are successors.

Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile: "That Zeng Jie dared to guess my thoughts, it is really audacious, but I don't think it is so simple, originally I wanted to seduce but not to, let's see who is colluding with him... ..."

When Emperor Hongzhi said this, he paused for a moment, and then said again: "But you two really gave me a big gift, and I have no choice but to deal with him. I ordered the factory guards to take him in because I wanted to Let's see who panicked after Zeng Jie was taken into custody."

Zhu Houzhao said very frankly: "Father, it will be enough to execute the sentence directly, why is it so long-winded."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao with a smile. Sure enough, his guess was correct. This time the prince was in charge of the country, Fang Jifan thought about it and made a lot of suggestions. The prince's temper is just too impatient.

Emperor Hongzhi was in a good mood, and patiently said to his son: "If the punishment is imposed, even if he confesses, it is inevitable that in order to avoid suffering, he will indiscriminately accuse many people of coming out. If he just makes false statements, it will inevitably wrong many good people. I don't want to get involved wantonly. Naturally, it is useless to rely on the so-called severe torture. This is not your business. I ordered you and Jifan to be the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture and the Governor of Shaofu, so that you can quickly find something in Beijing. Just do your own thing."

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to obediently say: "Observe the order."

After finishing speaking, he said goodbye to Fang Jifan and left.

Along the way, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help the other party and said to Jifan: "Old Fang, why did the emperor order me to be the Governor of Shuntian Mansion? I always feel that the official of Shuntian Mansion is too young. I have dozens of hundreds of official positions. All of them are more powerful than Fu Yin."

Fang Jifan had actually figured it out, and said, "Because your majesty is testing you, I'm afraid, you also have the idea of ​​retreating bravely. Your highness, your majesty hopes that you can share his worries. After all, he is old. As for the prefect , It's really unlucky. This is the capital, and he is a parent official here. Anyone above can bully him. Of course he is pitiful. But His Royal Highness, Shuntian Mansion's power and responsibility are not small. An Limin, the crown prince is the prefect, this is different, look at this capital, who will dare to take the Shuntian mansion seriously in the future? It can be seen from this that it does not matter how big or small the official position is, it depends on whether the prefect is Whoever comes to act, if it is someone else, it is a dog, a slave named Deng Jian in our Fang family can beat ten of them one by one, but when the crown prince comes, it is completely different."

Zhu Houzhao listened, but still had some doubts. He frowned and said, "It's not nice. Is it possible that I will be in charge of the robbery and food distribution all day long?"

Fang Jifan said with a grin: "That's not necessarily the case. In fact, you can also take care of the planning of the new city and the old city, and find out which mansion has encroached on the people's land... and so on, but any matter that involves people's livelihood, You can ask me anything, for example..."

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao with a smile, and continued: "For example, if His Royal Highness feels that Shuntian Mansion is not satisfied, you might as well move Shuntian Mansion to another place to work. Let's... repair the government office."

"Xiu Ya..." Zhu Houzhao was dumbfounded: "Where is Xiu going?"

Fang Jifan coughed: "Your Highness is outside the Fifth Ring Road. Don't you have a lot of land? Nearly half of them have housed a lot of victims. These victims are not cared for in the new city outside the Fifth Ring Road. Move there, you see, can't you take care of the victims at any time?"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up immediately, and he said cheerfully: "This is the best, lest you get too close to the emperor and be arrested and reprimanded in the palace every now and then, well, the first thing I do is to repair the government office. But... ...Didn't everyone say that officials don't fix government offices?"

"It's different." Fang Jifan said solemnly: "Officials do not repair government offices, which follows the tradition of inaction, that is, the government tries its best to reduce its powers and responsibilities. This reason, this is His Royal Highness, in this world, if the government does not take care of things, can the people take care of themselves? No, in fact, if the government does not take care of some things, there will naturally be some sects, Taoists, and gentry To take over these powers, if His Highness wants to do something, the first thing to do is to recruit a group of capable

Officer, it's better to take care of some 'nosy' things that shouldn't be taken care of. Once it is necessary to recruit capable and strong officials, what's the use if there are too many people, the yamen has been in disrepair for a long time, and the layout is small? Therefore, it is necessary to complete the functions of the yamen, and it is necessary to repair the yamen. "

Zhu Houzhao listened, nodded his head seriously, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Xiu! It's just that repairing the government office may cost a lot of money, my father is so stingy..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao's face wrinkled together.

Fang Jifan sighed, His Majesty is back, the chance of being a prodigal son is very slim, he thought for a while and said: "How about, here is my minister... Take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver..."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan seriously with a sullen face: "What kind of talk is this, our own brothers, how can I ask for your money. Ah, I thought of it, I will borrow money."

Zhu Houzhao is a real activist. As soon as he finished speaking, he swished and ran away.

Fang Jifan looked at his back and shook his head, His Royal Highness... is really good at borrowing money.

…………

Shen Wen got off the job, and was invited to the East Palace for no reason.

Every time he came to this East Palace, he felt a little trembling in his heart.

Hmm... Guilty.

Then, he found that there was already a crowd here. In the whole main hall, there were seventy or eighty people kneeling and bustling.

Then, everyone smiled awkwardly.

Shen Wen probably knew who they were, they happened to have such a daughter just like himself.

In this way, Shen Wen and everyone are considered to be colleagues.

Colleagues are enemies.

Although maintaining a superficial friendliness, but...

An eunuch led Shen Wen to sit down, but Shen Wen's heart was pounding.

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

My heart skipped a beat: "It's going to be bad."

…………

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the latest report with surprise.

He was shocked.

The crown prince was the Governor of the Shuntian Mansion, and Fang Jifan was the Governor of the Shaofu.

Originally, after Emperor Hongzhi made this decision, he was somewhat guilty. These two guys were uncontrollable people. Once they were appointed, Emperor Hongzhi didn't know what would happen under the emperor's feet.

But... Now this report is far beyond his expectation. After the news came out, the market value of all listed firms actually rose strongly.

Obviously, for countless merchants, this is great news, just like a shot in the arm.

When Emperor Hongzhi saw this, he couldn't help but feel relieved. If this continues, he is afraid that the money lost last time in his internal treasury will be fully recovered within a few months.

"It's strange to say..." Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "Many courtiers don't like them, and scholars are quite critical of them, but these merchants are really courageous. They really dare to risk their wealth and life on the crown prince and successor." Where are they in Fan, are they so confident?"

See no response.

Emperor Hongzhi lowered his face, looked up at Xiao Jing who was in a daze, coughed, and said sharply: "I'm asking you something."

Xiao Jing just came back to his senses.

For the past two days, he has been feeling uneasy. Zeng Jie was sent to prison, but Xiao Jing didn't dare to ask about it, and he didn't know if Zeng Jie dragged him into the water. Now he is like an ant in a hot pot, as if he is going to be in trouble at any moment. At this time, seeing His Majesty's angry face, he didn't know what His Majesty just said, so he knelt down and said hysterically: "Your Majesty will die, your servant will die, your Majesty has served His Majesty for so many years, there is no merit but hard work , before this servant entered the palace, she was actually an ordinary person. After entering the palace, she was favored by His Majesty, and now she is in the palace, occupying an important position, servant... slave..."

Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback by Xiao Jing's sudden situation at first, and then his face became more and more gloomy. He is not stupid, why couldn't he hear the meaning in Xiao Jing's words, so he asked in a deep voice: "Why, what are you hiding from me? ?”

"Servant..." Xiao Jing shuddered, his face pale.

He cried.

"No slaves."

Emperor Hongzhi was thoughtful: "Really, you have to figure out for yourself what will happen if you deceive me. You have followed me for so many years, and you know that I care about old feelings. I will never forgive you lightly!"
