As soon as Zhu Houzhao saw Emperor Hongzhi pull his face down, he was already scared to pee, and he stammered hurriedly: "No, it's not... It was my son who went to the Xishan Coal Mine and saw the ragged miners with his own eyes. They are so miserable. To them, what they ask for is nothing more than a full mouthful of food. Only then did I think that the book said that water can carry a boat and overturn it. It turns out that it is not just a simple sentence , but if the people can't survive, they can capsize the boat, but if they don't have to go hungry or cold, they can carry the boat. For many people, being able to survive is already a gift from heaven Well, if this little desire can satisfy them, it will make them feel grateful to the court and to their father. The ministers have been thinking about this for the past few days. It turns out that what the ordinary people are asking for is actually It's just so simple, but even if it's such a simple thing, the emperors of all dynasties are unwilling to do it. As a result, there are refugees everywhere, wars continue, and finally the country is lost, and the hearts of my sons..."

Emperor Hongzhi was completely shocked.

Liu Jian's face was even more bloodshot, and his face was flushed to the base of his ears.

Xie Qian stared wide-eyed, looking at Zhu Houzhao like a monster.

And even Li Dongyang, who was hiding his secrets, suddenly changed his face.

Fang Jifan was speechless, feeling that he had been cheated. The matter of going to the Xishan Coal Mine was sneaked away, but now, it all came out.

However...His Royal Highness can understand this truth, presumably because those miners who were grateful to Dade planted a seed in His Royal Highness's heart when he was in the Xishan Coal Mine. The suffering of the people has finally been touched.

Zhu Houzhao looked up at Emperor Hongzhi very cautiously. He was a little guilty, and he didn't know if what he said was right, and whether he would be beaten.

But during his pause, Emperor Hongzhi's chest heaved and he urged sharply: "Keep talking."

Zhu Houzhao was so frightened that his legs became weak, and he stammered and continued: "My son, I really feel ashamed of those subjugated kings. They closed their doors, wine ponds and meat forests, but they couldn't see at all. How many people are there on the side of the road? The bones of the tyrants are frozen to death, how miserable the people are, I used to listen to my masters in the lectures, they always said how tyrannical the tyrants of the past dynasties were. It's your own fault..."

Emperor Hongzhi only had his chest rise and fall, but he didn't breathe. He stared at Zhu Houzhao in disbelief, and felt his brain buzzing.

Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to look up at his father. In fact, this was all something he had come up with after going to the Xishan Coal Mine. Of course, although Zhu Houzhao's previous cramming education was all entered by Zhu Houzhao's left ear and out of his right ear, there were always some words and sentences. , remained in his heart, these boring things, but because of what he saw and heard, they began to confirm each other.

Zhu Houzhao said sternly: "That's why I assert that as long as the court wholeheartedly follows Fang Jifan's method to reform the natives, so that the natives can believe that without the chieftain, their life will be better. As long as they can believe this, And the imperial court can do the same, so reforming the land and returning it to the local people is bound to succeed, and my ministers dare to guarantee it."

Emperor Hongzhi took a step back subconsciously. Unexpectedly, behind him was a lamp stand of a palace lantern.

The carved and hollow lamp stand fell to the ground with a snap, smashing the smoke cover above it to pieces.

When the little eunuch at the side saw it, he hurriedly bent over to clean it up.

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly said: "Don't move!"

His face was indescribably weird.

But his mood had a kind of unrestrained feeling. He couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, but he still had to try his best to endure it. As for Qian Yue's murder, and Milu's rebellion, what does such a trivial matter matter? Woolen cloth? The Ming Dynasty will not perish because of a chieftain's rebellion. All the hopes of the Ming Dynasty rest on the emperor, and also on the future emperor.

The power of the world is gathered in one body, and thousands of subjects, life and death, honor and disgrace are only maintained by one person.

What he worries and worries the most is the prince.

If there is a rebellion, it can be suppressed; if there is a disaster, it can be relieved; if there is any negligence in government, it can be corrected. If the prince is unbearable to be a king, this is really worrying.

The son... has grown up.

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were actually a little moist.

At this moment, he is not like an emperor, but a living father, a very gratified father.

He took a deep breath, although he was extremely excited, he didn't dare to show it at all, he was afraid that his ecstasy would make the prince get carried away.

A filial son grows out of a stick.

So he had to do his best to look stern.

"Did you say it wrong?" Zhu Houzhao saw that his eyes were wrong, his eyeballs rolled around, and he felt guilty, and hurriedly said: "My son... my son..." He wanted to say that my son would die.

Emperor Hongzhi tried his best to interrupt him with a calm voice, although the peaceful voice was a little trembling: "Have you gone to the Xishan Coal Mine?"

Zhu Houzhao's face changed suddenly, and he suddenly wanted to slap himself, I am a pig, he shook his head: "Yes... yes..."

Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "Who went with you?" When speaking, Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a deep meaning in his eyes.

Zhu Houzhao immediately said: "I went by myself, there was no one else... Uh... actually there were... I brought my companion Liu Jin, and... Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong,

Ma Yongcheng, Qiu Ju, Luo Xiang, Wei Bin, Gao Fengren, etc..."

Fortunately, people like Liu Jin were not here, otherwise they would probably faint from fright, which would be considered to have wiped out all the people in Zhan Shifu's family.

But... Zhu Houzhao is still loyal, and he didn't confess Fang Jifan.

It can be seen that for Fang Jifan, this friend...is not in vain.

Emperor Hongzhi squinted his eyes, but there was even more meaning in his deep eyes. His eyes met Liu Jian and the others, and then he said slowly, "Only these people?"

Zhu Houzhao said without hesitation: "My son is a man of integrity, how could he open his eyes and talk nonsense?"

"..." Fang Jifan couldn't help but want to touch his forehead, His Royal Highness seemed quite loyal, but... hey...

Fang Jifan coughed: "Uh...actually, there are still humble ministers."

Let’s admit it, the emperor is not a fool, not to mention Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, these three academicians, which one is not the best of the best, to be honest, Fang Jifan didn’t even dare to look at them, he was always afraid His own thoughts were completely seen by their penetrating eyes.

Zhu Houzhao was suddenly embarrassed, looking very confused.

A smile flashed across Emperor Hongzhi's eyes, and then he glanced at Zhu Houzhao: "There will be no next time."

Ok?

The stick was raised high, Zhu Houzhao seemed surprised, but it only dropped lightly, saying that there will be no next time. To me, it is not obvious that next time I will sneak to Zhan Shifu chance?

Emperor Hongzhi immediately looked at Fang Jifan again, and said, "Fang Jifan."

Emperor Hongzhi was amiable, like a spring breeze.

Fang Jifan said: "The minister is here."

At this moment, no one could guess what Emperor Hongzhi was thinking. He just murmured for a moment: "The Qing family gave an early warning, and the credit lies with Sheji. I regret that I did not listen to the Qing family's words. Today you, you are in Zhan Shifu , let’s study with the prince.”

The faces of Liu Jian and the three of them turned serious, and they immediately understood what Emperor Hongzhi was thinking.

Fang Jifan...is really talented. This kind of talent is different from ordinary stereotyped articles, such as reforming the land and returning to the people, such as the analysis and advice on Qian Yue. Now that I think about it afterwards, Fang Jifan does have an extraordinary talent.

Of course, this is obviously not the most important thing.

Liu Jian stroked his beard with a faint smile on his face, because he knew very well that the root of His Majesty's decision was not only the matter of Qian Yue and reforming the land, but the prince's words today. After entering the Zhan Shifu, the crown prince has a completely new feeling compared to the past. The crown prince is the foundation of the country and is very important.

His Majesty ordered Fang Jifan to accompany the prince to study, and his thoughts are naturally self-evident.
