Chapter 1789 Power over the world
Fang Jinglong was struck by lightning.
He couldn't imagine how the Fang family could escape unscathed with such a powerful minister.
In his opinion, the so-called Golden Continent Regent is almost like a hot potato.
This is a hidden danger that the family is about to be destroyed.
All through the ages, such an extremely human minister, like Cao Cao, has already usurped the power of the world, so he is unscrupulous and can transcend all the courtiers, so he pretends to be a festival axe, pays homage without being named, and enters the court without any name. The trend is, the sword is on the palace, but today is the Ming Dynasty.
Since Emperor Taizu Gao of the Ming Dynasty, the status of the royal family has been solid. Even if there are occasional favorites and powerful ministers, they can be taken down immediately by the emperor's will. Thinking about how great achievements Yu Qian made back then, how many people are convinced, Don't you still say that if you ask the crime, you will ask the crime?
The current Fang family's contribution can certainly be compared with Yu Qian who turned the tide after the Tumu Fort change, defended the capital, and saved the Ming Dynasty, but how did Yu Qian ever get such favor from the emperor?
Fang Jinglong was born in an aristocratic family. The ancestors of the Nanhebo Mansion all followed the success of the Great Ming Dynasty and made contributions. They have seen the rise and fall of this wealthy family. Although they are loyal to their lives, they have always instilled There is a truth, that is, no matter how much credit you make and how many meritorious deeds you have established, you must also keep in mind the truth that when the moon is full, you will lose money, and when the water is full, you will overflow.
But the emperor suddenly issued such an imperial edict, isn't this the same as making the Fang family the first prince in the world? Its superior status and authority can be said to be unprecedented in the Ming dynasty.
Fang Jinglong felt very flustered at this moment.
The most speechless thing is that my stupid son actually complied.
He was distraught.
Immediately ordered people to change this Qi Palace into Xingzai, please the emperor to stay!
On the other side, Fang Jifan was pulled into a small hall, and the two father and son had a secret conversation: "Jifan, I am happy to see you safe and sound for my father. Our father and son have not seen each other for many years, hey..."
He sighed, and then said: "As long as you can be safe, you will be satisfied as a father. Since you came out of your mother's womb, you were only the size of a mouse. You have been weak and sick since you were a child. I am the father who held you in his arms." At that moment, I thought in my heart, in this life, I, Fang Jinglong, do not ask you to make the achievements of our ancestors, nor do I ask you to have great foresight, let alone revitalize the family business. An'an, being a father is enough."
Fang Jifan: "..."
He knew there was something in his father's words.
It was just these words that moved Fang Jifan a little bit, and I think this is the pity of the world's parents.
Fang Jinglong said again: "But since then, you have made a lot of contributions. As a father, of course I feel very happy, but in these years, being a father has never been a day without trembling, like walking on thin ice! In this Golden Continent, I feel extremely terrified. Well, the higher you stand, the harder your fall may be, and the heights are unbearably cold. This principle...you are still young, maybe you don't understand, because you are an old man, if you think about it...you can't live for a few years, even if a catastrophe is approaching, in this life... I don't have any regrets, but...you are still young, Zhengqing and Tianci are still young, and what I fear most as a father is waiting for the day when my father will go to the west, you father and son...what disasters will happen to you, if so, it will be your father's fault. You can't die with peace!"
"As a father, I don't covet the position of the regent, but why do you accept it? The current emperor, of course, has no scheming, and he is like a brother to you, but he is full of court officials. How many people are envious of this, this..."
Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "Father, it's not that the son wants to accept it, but must accept it."
Looking at Fang Jifan's helpless expression, Fang Jinglong blew his beard and stared: "What are you talking about?"
Fang Jifan knew his father's cautious temperament, so how could he be calm at this moment? So he paused and said: "The Fang family has come to this point, how many people's livelihoods are now related to it, so many clansmen with the surname Fang are in Huangjinzhou, and they all rely on our Fang family to prosper. In Xishan Academy, so many Disciples...the future rests with our Fang family. Those merchants, how many people are watching us. Even if the father wants to quit, the son also wants to quit, but others...are they worried about our Fang family quitting? We have retreated, and these hundreds of thousands of family members are bound to be in panic. Who will protect them in the future? Although the son is sometimes crazy, he often makes his father worry, but the son is also a responsible person. Send Shangxi, we have sent so many relatives here, should we just let it go and ignore it?"
Fang Jinglong listened... he fell silent!
Fang Jifan said again: "If we don't regent, those clansmen have higher titles than us, and we will never be able to control them. This Golden Continent will inevitably leave hidden dangers. Sooner or later, it will lead to conflicts. Are we really required to eradicate them?" Are these clansmen going to be sinners? Or...waiting for the clansmen to cut off our Fang family, and let these hundreds of thousands of relatives all be put in the fire and water?"
"..."
"The current emperor is wise. He knows that some things need to be taken up, and some things must be put down. Father, I don't want your majesty to be criticized as not a gentleman. But have you ever thought about how old the emperor was when he was still a prince? With just a little effort, Mobei can be wiped out. How many people... have led the army for a lifetime, and they can be called veterans. They were also troubled by the Mobei Tatars. What my father is worried about is His Majesty's thoughts. He thinks that His Majesty's move is to put our Fang family on the cusp of the storm. But in my opinion, His Majesty's move is extremely clever. If we don't solve this issue of status today, this The problem will be left to future generations, and the Fang family members of Huangjinzhou, the disciples of Xishan Academy, and those who have benefited from the Fang family can never be assured. If this problem is left to future generations, Then... it may be internal and external troubles, fighting each other, brothers, teachers and students fighting each other."
After Fang Jifan's patient analysis, Fang Jinglong couldn't help being moved.
At this time, Fang Jifan stretched his waist and said with a laugh: "So I've decided, I'm determined to treat the clan members better, these bastards, I have to bring them to make a fortune together. Not only that, but also get married, When Tianci grows up, he needs to find the daughter of his clan in Huangjinzhou. It's a pity, a pity, how did Zhengqing get married in a daze..."
Fang Jinglong smiled awkwardly. Although he still felt that Ji Fan's words were not sound enough, he felt relieved, thought for a while, and said, "I'm afraid the clan members will be in an uproar if the news spreads."
Fang Jifan said: "It's easy, I'll go to meet them right away, show them righteousness, and let them know that we are one family, so...they have nothing to say. Zhu never leaves Fang, Fang never leaves Zhu."
The news from the Golden Continent...is fast, after all...there is no impenetrable wall in the world.
The emperor's decree has just come out.
Those clansmen who live in Xin Qingdao as a residence, originally planned to go to see the driver the next day happily, but were frightened by this news.
Your Majesty... this is really...
They are all princes and county kings.
The status is detached.
What flows in the blood vessels is the blood of Emperor Taizu Gao, who has always been pampered and pampered. Except for the emperor, no one can surpass them.
So although I dare not become a vassal in the fief and come to this new Qingdao to enjoy the blessings, but how much... I still look down on people.
In this new Qingdao, no one dares to provoke them.
As for Fang Jinglong...Although this place is the fiefdom of the Fang family, Fang Jinglong is a low-key and cautious person, and has always been careful with his clan members, so...in the hearts of his clan members...he is still the first, and as for the Fang family, he can only be ranked second.
In the blink of an eye, the world is turned upside down.
In Xingwang Befu in New Qingdao, many people have come.
His Royal Highness Xing Wang is the half-brother of the emperor, and even the uncle of the current emperor. Among the clan, he has the closest relationship with the royal family. His son, Zhu Houcong, had been made king of the county early on.
Nowadays, everyone is gathered in King Xing's Mansion, even a few old clan members who usually don't care about world affairs have come.
Everyone is like ants on a hot pan.
Xing Wang Zhu Youzhu's temperament is still mellow and honest.
But some people are like beating chicken blood.
"The reason why the emperor did this? Could it be that we, the royal family, are not as close as Fang Jifan in His Majesty's heart? King Xing, you are His Majesty's uncle, this matter... can't be ignored..."
…
As we all know, the book is coming to an end, so writing it is very laborious, please bear with me.
