Shouldn't it be so old?

"Eh..." Facing Zhu Xiurong's words, Fang Jifan was extremely ashamed: "The minister's meaning..."

"I understand." Zhu Xiurong smiled, her eyes were full of joy, her thin lips parted slightly, and she said cheerfully: "Okay, you want to give me a gift?"

"Send, why not? It's just..." Fang Jifan thought for a while, and he had to think of a way to send something innovative, so he smiled and promised, "But please rest assured, Your Highness, it will be delivered on time when the time comes." of."

Zhu Xiurong smiled sweetly, her eyes were full of anticipation, and her pretty face was full of joy, she nodded slightly at Fang Jifan: "Then I will wait."

After a while, an eunuch came outside: "Your Majesty knows that Uncle Xinjian is here to see a doctor, so I asked if it was so soon. If Her Royal Highness is fine, please go to the Nuan Pavilion."

here we go again……

Fang Jifan smiled helplessly at Zhu Xiurong: "I'll write a prescription and leave."

Zhu Xiurong also smiled and nodded at him.

Nanny Liu took the pen and ink.

Fang Jifan picked up a pen, wrote some nourishing prescriptions, and hurriedly followed the eunuch to Nuange.

…………

In the warm pavilion, Zhu Houzhao received a courtesy reception.

He had a seat, and he was sitting comfortably on it. He watched Emperor Hongzhi lower his head and read the memorial, so he couldn't help asking: "What memorial is the emperor looking at?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked up at him, his eyes were a little harsh, this guy, the scars healed and he forgot the pain, he was always so dishonest, so unwilling to be lonely.

When Zhu Houzhao met Emperor Hongzhi's eyes, his neck couldn't help shrinking, feeling that he was talking too much.

When Zhu Houzhao was hesitating how to excuse himself, Emperor Hongzhi said quietly.

"There is a report in Qingzhou Mansion. A few days ago, there was a flood in Qingzhou Mansion. Wu Jiang, the magistrate, personally led people to the embankment to reinforce the embankment. Fortunately, the embankment was kept. However, due to the continuous rainstorm, Qingzhou Mansion still suffered ninety casualties. There are many people, one of the granaries, because it is located in a low-lying area, the grain in the granary is too late to be transported away..."

Zhu Houzhao immediately played to his strengths, and stopped Emperor Hongzhi's words in confusion.

"Father, that's not right. Are ordinary granaries set up in low-lying places? My ministers store grain in Lingqiu and other places, and they will always set up granaries in high places, just to prevent it from happening."

As he spoke, he paused for a while, thought carefully, and then continued: "Also, more than ninety people were killed or injured by the continuous rainstorm. , more or less able to help each other, if more than a dozen people were killed or injured, it is reasonable to say that so many people died all at once... I feel that something is wrong."

Zhu Houzhao paused for a moment, with a look of unfinished thought: "What's even more strange is that if there is a disaster caused by a heavy rain, when I was in Lingqiu, I heard that the main problem of the disaster caused by a heavy rain is that the river's water soars and even overflows the embankment. The prefect of Wujiang, under a heavy rain that killed and injured more than ninety people, actually took people up the embankment, isn't he afraid of being drowned?"

Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback for a moment, but you Zhu Hou said a lot.

Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while, and then took out several other memorials for comparison. After a long time, he said: "There should be no problem. There is also a memorial from the Shandong Chief Envoy. The situation is the same as that of the Qingzhou prefect. Other than that, There is also the report of the guarding eunuch..."

The three memorials of Shandong Chief Envoy, Qingzhou Prefect Yamen, and Guarding Eunuch are all the same. Obviously, in the view of Emperor Hongzhi, there will be no major mistakes.

Zhu Houzhao felt that it was abnormal, and he reminded Emperor Hongzhi righteously.

"Father should investigate carefully. Let the factory guards go to investigate secretly. My son always feels that there are too many strange things in it."

Lingqiu and his party allowed Zhu Houzhao to see with his own eyes how things were going on in the local area. In the past, when he was in the East Palace, in fact, he only had written records of the so-called disasters from the mansion newspaper and memorials. Some of my own imagination, this is the so-called disaster in Zhu Houzhao's heart.

But after actually going to Lingqiu, he found that the scene he imagined in the past was completely different from the reality. At least when he encountered today's situation, he felt that there were too many doubts inside.

Emperor Hongzhi was slightly taken aback, looking at the stubborn Zhu Houzhao, he was silent for a long time, and finally retreated: "Alright, just check it out."

As he spoke, he picked up the ink pen, and annotated the four words "Factory Guard Thorough Investigation" under the memorandum.

Emperor Hongzhi put down the vermilion pen, looked up at Zhu Houzhao seriously, and smiled slightly.

"Emperor."

"I don't know what the father ordered."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "In the future, if you have something to do, you must know how to hide it. Don't blah, just talk about what happened just now. You didn't go to Shandong, but you raised so many questions. You are right in front of me. Yes, but if there are courtiers around you, what will the courtiers think when you say this? If what you say is spread, what will the local officials think?"

"I believe that after we have purged the administration of officials several times, now our Ming Dynasty is still clear and bright. As a ruler, you must not be harsh. Once you are harsh, your courtiers will be renounced. Let's say Wu Jiang, the prefect of Qingzhou, after the catastrophe happened , He personally brought people up to the embankment, so he can be regarded as a cadre, although the disaster is serious, but he must not be harsh to such a cadre."

Today, Emperor Hongzhi had a good temper, and instead of scolding Zhu Houzhao, he was picking

After accepting his son's opinion, he reasoned with him kindly.

This landslide left a deep impression on Emperor Hongzhi.

He felt very comfortable, and his son could be regarded as promising.

Of course, after all, he is still young and ignorant, and there are some things that need to be educated.

Zhu Houzhao didn't take Emperor Hongzhi's words seriously, he shook his head and said, "Kerchen really thinks something is wrong."

"..." Emperor Hongzhi's smile gradually disappeared.

Is this a strange question? This is to tell you how to be a good emperor. A good emperor does not just rely on disaster relief. Of course, you Zhu Houzhao did a great job in this disaster relief, but... a good emperor must also have vision. Officers, how do you do your best to serve you?

Emperor Hongzhi felt that it was useless for him to reason with Zhu Houzhao in a friendly manner, so he couldn't help but put on a straight face.

"You think there is something strange, but I really can't see it. You think things are different, but I know how to read people. This Wu Jiang, do you know who he is? You don't know! He was a Jinshi in the ninth year of Chenghua. In the eleventh year of Chenghua, Wan An, the cabinet scholar at the time, was impeached. When he was an official in Beijing, he was inspected several times by the Ministry of Officials, and he was well received. He was not only a dry official, but also a clean official. You all I don’t know, but it’s just nonsense. I ordered the factory guards to visit unannounced, not because I really listened to your words and doubted Wu Jiang, but just to let you know that you must not make unreasonable guesses about your subjects. When the time comes, just wait and see .”

While talking, the eunuch outside said: "Your Majesty, Fang Jifan has arrived."

"Xuan."

Emperor Hongzhi stopped arguing, showing a calm look.

Fang Jifan came in and saluted.

Emperor Hongzhi said, "Give me a seat."

The eunuch brought Jindun, and Fang Jifan sat down: "Your Majesty, these days, the minister and the crown prince have left Beijing, and your majesty has lost weight a lot. Your majesty manages a lot of things every day, which is really admirable."

Emperor Hongzhi automatically ignored the words about the myriad of opportunities in daily life, but said indifferently: "The crown prince claims to be the Duke of Zhen Guo. This Zhen Guo Mansion should be built, so it should be in Xishan."

"..." Fang Jifan was a little overwhelmed.

Your Majesty really took this drama seriously.

Fang Jifan spoke hastily.

"But Xishan is doing farmhouse entertainment, and I'm afraid of the land..."

"It doesn't matter, and there is no need to make a lot of construction work, just have a shelf first. Fang Qing's family, you have meritorious service in assisting the prince. But in the future, if the prince continues to run around, I will only ask you."

It seems that Emperor Hongzhi wanted to solve Zhu Houzhao's safety issue from the source.

Since the crown prince can't control it, then I will take care of you, Fang Jifan, and if something happens, I will come to you and sit down.

Fang Jifan frowned aggrievedly.

"How can I control His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"I don't care about that. Whether he wants you to be convicted or not depends on whether he wants to harm you." Emperor Hongzhi sullenly said nothing.

Zhu Houzhao said with a playful smile: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely not do such things again, I will guarantee Fang Jifan's personality."

"..."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded approvingly.

But then, he remembered something, stared at Fang Jifan and said, "Fang Jifan, there is something I want to ask you."

Fang Jifan felt that he was very hard-pressed, and everything had something to do with him, so he pursed his lips, and said aggrievedly: "Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "You can read this memorial."

It seems that Fang Jifan is more reliable than Zhu Houzhao, but this prince is not convinced by himself, so Emperor Hongzhi simply asked Fang Jifan to talk about it.

Fang Jifan took over the memorial, and it was Wu Jiang, the prefect of Qingzhou, who was in charge.

Wujiang, the prefect of Qingzhou...

Fang Jifan's heart skipped a beat.

I actually forgot him.

Fang Jifan immediately said to Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, I feel that this memorial is strange."

"..."

Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback for a moment, and his brows were tightly wrinkled together.

He originally thought that Fang Jifan would support him.

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "Then, take a look at these memorials again."

The other few memorials are all about the chief envoy of Shandong and the guarding eunuch. It seems that Emperor Hongzhi felt that it was not enough to convince Fang Jifan, so he winked at the eunuchs around him: "Go get the merit test book of the Ministry of Officials, it's about From Wujiang."

The eunuch hurried away.

Fang Jifan read all the memorials.

Wait for the eunuch to take the test book.

It has to be said that Wu Jiang is a person with a very good official voice. He dare not say that he is in Daming, but he can say that he is in the whole of Shandong. His reputation is the best.
