MTL - Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty-Chapter 72 unhappy

  Chapter 72 Unfortunately speaking

  Fang Jifan had actually figured out Emperor Hongzhi's temper early on. This Emperor Hongzhi was actually a good man. Although he was angry at times, most of the time, he seldom punished him for his words.

Emperor Hongzhi had no choice but to change this embarrassing topic, and put on a straight face: "I summoned you because of several impeachment memorials. This one is Zhang Fen, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and this one..." He picked up the last A thick copy: "This is the memorial of Shou Ninghou and Jian Chang Bo. They all impeach you for insulting ministers and impeaching you for misbehavior. What do you have to say?"

  Fang Jifan was surprised: "Where did the minister insult the minister?"

   "Since the right deputy capital censor, Guizhou governor Qian Yue..."

  Fang Jifan understood what it means to settle accounts after autumn.

  Zhu Houzhao was trembling with fright, the rabbit died and the fox was sad, why did he feel that his back was a little cold.

  Fang Jifan immediately said: "I just reported the truth and expressed my opinion. Why did I insult Governor Qian? I am wronged!"

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled. In fact, in his heart, he might not really blame Fang Jifan, but... he used this opportunity to let this guy be more honest, so as not to cause any trouble again.

So he kept a stern face, with a sullen expression on his face: "You still want to deny the matter until now. Are there still few bad words and evil deeds in your daily life? I think that in the face of your father, I have always indulged you. Now, so There are so many impeachment memorials, how can I not give an explanation to the people of the world? This time, I must punish you severely..."

  Fang Jifan was a little confused...

   Sure enough, the prodigal son did not end well.

  But at this moment, there were hurried footsteps outside the warm pavilion.

  Boots stepped on the snow, making a slight crisp sound.

  For a moment...

   Then the **** sternly said, "Who is it?"

   "The minister is waiting for the Hanlin Jiang Xin, there is an urgent memorial, the matter is of great importance, and I need to see him immediately."

  The **** has not responded yet.

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help feeling a little discouraged. Originally, he took this opportunity to beat Fang Jifan once and for all so that he could start a new life. Who knows... something else happened.

  He said loudly: "Come in and talk."

   After a short while, the Hanlin hurried in, with a solemn face, bowed to the ground without hesitation, and raised a memorial with both hands: "My minister Jiang Xin, tell your majesty that the governor of Guizhou, Qian Yue, has sent an urgent memorial..."

  Emperor Hongzhi was immediately attracted by this rush, and he couldn't help but exchanged glances with Liu Jian and others beside him.

  Too strange.

  It's all right, what is it?

  Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Xin's face was pale: "Milu, the daughter of the chieftain of Zhanyizhou, Yunnan, and her husband, Long Chang, a local judge in Guizhou, were at odds with her husband. She even led troops to kill Long Chang and raised the flag to rebel. After Governor Qian got the news, he immediately organized a counter-rebellion...unfortunate...unfortunate soldiers Cao Kai, the general officer of Guizhou, and Yang Youfa, the middle officer, were ambushed and killed by the rebel army; the rebels surrounded Governor Qian's middle camp. Out of the siege, hurry up and send them to the capital, I am afraid that at this time...Governor Qian Yue...has also died...The matter is urgent, and I am afraid of delays, so I am here to have an audience, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me."

   "What..." Liu Jian suddenly jumped up.

  This news... is absolutely unexpected.

The one who was killed was the majestic governor of Guizhou, the chief official of the entire Guizhou province, not to mention the chief military officer Cao Kai, who was the highest military officer in Guizhou province. As for the middle official Yang Youfa, he was sent by the palace The eunuchs and eunuchs of the army are all the core figures in Guizhou Province. If any one of them is killed by the rebels, not only will the court's face be wiped out, but what's more frightening is that it is very likely to cause even more disastrous consequences. .

  Xie Qian was even more shocked, and couldn't help but sternly said: "Qian Yue has always made remarkable achievements in politics, how could it cause a rebellion..."

The rebellion in Yunnan and Guizhou has just been subdued, and the imperial court is very concerned about Yungui's affairs, for fear that something will happen again. Because of this, when choosing a governor, both the emperor and the cabinet all think that Qian Yue, who has a good political record , is the most suitable person, but who would have thought that such a big change would happen just after he took office.

Hearing Mr. Xie's questioning, Jiang Xin hurriedly said: "It was said in the urgent report that Milu and his husband had conflicts for a long time, so before that, Mr. Qian went to make peace. I thought that after the peace, the matter would be over. who would have expected..."

   All of a sudden... everyone was dumbfounded.

  Say and…

Whether it is Milu or Longchang, they are all holding soldiers in their hands, and the chieftains who want money and money, and food and food, have sensed something is wrong in advance, so they don't send troops to guard against it, and they don't monitor the cities of both sides. To make peace? In this situation, even if the two of them were temporarily placed under house arrest to calm the incident, it would be fine to interrupt, but... Qian Yue took the most speechless approach.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was already miserable. The little chieftain rebelled. In fact, the court was fine. There was nothing left, those chieftains who were about to move, seeing that Miru was strong and strong, it was hard to guarantee that they would not have other thoughts.

Emperor Hongzhi reluctantly supported the imperial case, and couldn't help saying: "Qian Yue misunderstood me!" He wanted to curse, but then he thought that Qian Yue had died for his country. , but he was very anxious, and couldn't help saying: "Just because the husband and wife are not in harmony, it is a rebellion. This...how terrible!"

  Liu Jian frowned deeply, and quickly pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, this is the old minister's negligence. Back then, he recommended Qian Yue..."

  Xie Qian said: "It's too late to plead guilty now. The most important thing is to send troops to suppress the rebellion immediately. The situation must not be allowed to get out of hand."

   Li Dongyang, who had been silent all this time, had a look of surprise in his eyes, and then he looked at Fang Jifan in amazement.

  Because, compared to the news from Guizhou, what shocked him more was...Fang Jifan.

Emperor Hongzhi also slowly came out of the shock, but immediately, he was replaced by a bigger shock. He couldn't help but look at Fang Jifan, because at this time he realized that the results of Guizhou today were actually in line with Fang Jifan's prediction exactly the same.

  The chieftains of Yunnan and Guizhou, because of the connivance of the court, have always been respectful to the court on the surface, but in fact they do their own thing. Fang Jifan guessed that they would rebel, and they did.

  At the beginning, Qian Yue, the governor of Henan and Shandong, had made remarkable achievements, but Fang Jifan thought that he was bookish and not suitable to be alone in Guizhou. Now, everything has come true.

  Emperor Hongzhi didn't believe in gods and ghosts, so in his heart, how powerful is this young man's insight.

   Reform the soil and return to the people!

   Now it seems that it is imperative to reform the land and return it to the people.

   Being stared at by Emperor Hongzhi and the three cabinet scholars like hungry wolves, Fang Jifan felt extremely embarrassed.

  Actually...he didn't want this rebellion to happen. He wanted to stop this rebellion at the beginning. That's why he kept saying what he said and issued a warning. It's a pity that no one took his words seriously.

  After all... I am a scum, Fang Jifan is actually used to it.

Emperor Hongzhi walked a few steps with his hands behind his back in the warm pavilion: "It seems that it is imperative to reform the land and return it to the people. The most urgent task at the moment is to suppress the rebellion. The left deputy of the court, the censor, acting as the governor of Guizhou, dispatched troops from Yunnan and Guizhou, divided the troops to attack, and I swear to take the thief chief Milu, and will never tolerate it."

After all, he paused, and also showed a vigorous side: "After the rebellion was put down, all the troops were still stationed in Yunnan, Guizhou and other native states. Next, he ordered Wang Shi to carry out the reform of the land and return it to the people. Fang Qing's family, I want to go down The purpose is to divide the chieftains and natives after suppressing the rebellion, order the natives to forcibly change the chieftains into officials, set up teaching instructions in each native state, and promote enlightenment. They farm, and if any chieftain refuses to accept it, he will take it down immediately, what do you think of the Qing family?"

  Fang Jifan shook his head: "Not good."
