Liu Jian and the others also looked at each other in blank dismay.

It shouldn't be, it's just such a trivial matter, you also go to the book?

Liu Jian said sternly: "The fleet of the Eastern Palace is not flying the flag of Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Hongzhi's heart trembled, but in fact he almost softened his heart.

But when Liu Jian reminded him like this, he remembered it instantly.

The fleet of the Ministry of War is under the banner of the official fleet of the Ming Dynasty. If the emperor grants the ship number to your several private boats, wouldn't it be equivalent to the status of the imperial court?

Fang Jifan is really a thief, he actually wants to use this method to get a title.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled lightly, intending to shelve this memorial, but after careful consideration, he felt that it was inappropriate. After all, Fang Jifan had worked so hard and made great achievements. If he didn't respond directly, it would be unreasonable.

After all, they are also working for the court, can you ignore them?

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head, showing a wry smile, and took up the ink pen himself, and wrote in the memorandum: "Qing judges himself."

After all, he clicked on the memorial: "Let's send it out."

The so-called self-destruction, of course, is not the appearance of self-destruction, that is how vulgar people understand it.

This means, you, Fang Jifan, can make up your own mind, whatever you want, you can do whatever you like.

So Fang Jifan took His Majesty's order and went directly to find Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao is also very interested in going to sea.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao is not interested in anything that can show off.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty's meaning has come." Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao with a look of trepidation.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up immediately.

"Old Fang still has a way, how did he guess that the father would let us commit suicide?"

Fang Jifan said with a stern face: "Your Majesty is arbitrarily arbitrarily arbitrarily arbitrarily arbitrarily judged, and the sage is unpredictable. How can I guess his thoughts? Your Highness, don't wrong me like this."

Zhu Houzhao glanced at him and said, "Old Fang, can you talk nicely?"

Zhu Houzhao gave Fang Jifan a white look, and looked very excited with his hands behind his back.

He paced back and forth, and said, "There are four ships in total. The small one is a bit small, but it is also a sea ship, isn't it? What should I call this main ship? The General?"

Fang Jifan also wanted to roll his eyes, so couldn't he have something new?

He shook his head and said, "It doesn't sound good."

"Champion Hou?" Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, and seemed to think that Champion Hou was more to his liking.

"..." Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao fixedly, and said, "Your Highness, in fact, I think we should use some more elegant names for the ship. The first voyage will surely leave its name in history."

Zhu Houzhao frowned, and said, "Why is Champion Hou so unrefined? What a good name! Good, good, good, I won't argue with you, I will think about it again..."

"How about, come and get one." Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao with a smile.

Zhu Houzhao stared at Fang Jifan, listening attentively.

Fang Jifan said word by word: "It's better to call it: the scum of the world... the king... no... the official... the number..."

"What?" Zhu Houzhao looked confused: "Wang... Wang Bushi, it should be a personal name, who is this? Does he have any grudges against you?"

Fang Jifan said sternly: "How can Your Highness guess the intentions of this minister? I just think that this name is both shocking and majestic. The king is not an official, and there is indeed a man, but I don't even recognize him. What kind of hatred can there be?"

Zhu Houzhao obviously didn't believe it. He looked at Fang Jifan suspiciously for a while, then narrowed his eyes and said, "It's a good name, at least it's fresh, and it's more shocking than Champion Hou!"

…………

In the Hanlin Academy, the atmosphere has become more active recently than before.

The concubine Xu Jing has finally left and is about to go to sea! In private, there were rumors that this might be because someone had impeached Xu Jing, so the palace simply made him suffer.

Go to sea.

Who doesn't know how risky it is to go into the sea. If you go into the sea, you will never come back in all likelihood.

The Hanlin Academy is a place of rules, how can it allow people to beat up its superiors.

Ever since, Wang Bushi, the attendant of the Literature and History Museum, can be said to be elated. He is like Xianglin's wife. He complains first when he catches someone. That Xu Jing... is really not a thing. He is usually arrogant and domineering. , huh...but is this officer afraid of him? No, he wanted to run amok, but I stepped forward and was beaten by him. These people are really insane and have no manners at all.

But the old man is not afraid of him, the old man is Hanlin, Hanlin, Qingliu also, hum, this kind of person is just like his mentor...

When it came to this point, Wang Bushi always looked around to make sure there was no one else, and then continued righteously: "Sooner or later, you will be notorious, not only harming others, but also harming yourself."

His colleagues all sympathized with him and nodded in agreement.

Wang Bushi became even more excited, and continued to catch people and said over and over again, he rolled up his big sleeves, showing the bruises that had disappeared: "This is the one who beat Xu Jing. Humble..."

After scolding enough, I finally felt more at ease, and Wang Bushi gradually became happier. In any case, although he suffered from Xu Jing, he was not wronged. Hmph, do you really think that scholars are easy to bully? I, Wang Bushi, will scold you to death in this life and ruin your reputation.

"The prince... the prince..."

But at this moment, in his duty room, a scribe rushed over, looking very frightened.

Wang Bushi didn't seem to care about it, and said calmly and calmly: "What's the matter?"

"Something...something happened..."

Wang Bushi calmly said: "What are you panicking about? The sky won't fall, so please speak up if you have something to say."

"This is an imperial edict issued by the Eastern Palace. It is ordered by the household department to dispatch some boatmen and followers to board the ship... You... have a look first..."

Wang Bushi got the edict and looked down. This edict... seems to be nothing special.

It's just... when he saw the seventy boatmen and strong men kept by the household registration department, they went to the "Human Trash Wang Bushi" for drills and prepared to go to sea...

Wang Bushi's face suddenly... turned red.

"I...I...I*him**eighteenth generation!" Wang Bushi broke out, and finally swear words that he couldn't swear in the first half of his life.

Lack of morality, which lacks great virtue.

Wang Bushi can almost imagine that in the memorandum, this voyage will be recorded in its original form, and this "human scum xxx" will remain until the sea dries up.

Wang Bushi held the copybook and burst into tears.

………………

The original rural examination was held in August, and it was called Qiu Wei.

It's just a pity, because the weather is very different now, and the imperial court postponed the time for three months in order to show compassion for the students, especially the remote students who went to the provincial capital to take the exam.

At this time... on the first day of November, the autumn of the thirteenth year of Hongzhi finally began.

Early this morning, the sky was still hazy.

Liu Jie took Kao Lan with him, and disappeared quietly into the vast snow outside Liu's residence.

He didn't go through the middle gate, but went out through the small gate of the Liu residence.

Liu Jie didn't even remind the people in the mansion, after he tidied up the things, he went out.

It's nothing to ordinary students to fail after repeated trials, but it is an extremely embarrassing thing to the only son of the chief assistant of the dynasty!

After a famous family, he didn't even pass the provincial examination. The pressure Liu Jie has been under these years is really too great.

In fact, everyone in the family knew that he was going to rush for the exam today, but everyone tried their best to avoid touching this matter. Liu Jie set out from the small gate, and that's what he meant! He was afraid to go out through the middle gate, he would meet too many people in the house, and even complimented him, saying that the young master must go to high school, he felt very harsh.

He just hoped that he would go to take the exam in peace, and after that, everyone would act as if nothing had happened. Even if he lost his reputation as before, at least he would feel better.

However, when Liu Jie had just tiptoed away, Liu An, the manager of the Liu Manor, hurried to the study.

In the study room, there were no candles lit. Liu Jian had been sitting here, as if waiting for something.

Liu An gently opened a crack in the door and came in, bowed and said, "Master...Young Master has gone out."

"Oh." Liu Jian sighed: "He has enough clothes."

"Well, that's enough. The young master went through the back door, sir..."

Liu An, who was in charge, seemed to want to say something, but Liu Jian suppressed his hand and said: "This is why the old man told you, pretending to know nothing, and asking you to warn the people in the house, never He mentioned the township examination in front of him, he is a virtuous person, but unfortunately... his aptitude is too poor, he failed repeatedly, he should feel more uncomfortable than the old man in his heart, the pressure is too great."

"Yeah, the young master has been taciturn all these years..." Liu An also sighed: "The villain watched the young master when he grew up, but he was not like this when he was young. He liked to visit friends everywhere and always laughed. , but later on she became more and more withdrawn, and she was even less willing to interact with people.”

Liu Jian stood up, with a look of loneliness on his face, and said, "Don't talk about it, this is fate! Go and change the old man's clothes. It's getting late, and the old man should be on duty."

Liu An looked at Liu Jian with concern and said, "Master, you haven't slept all night, you should take a nap first..."

Liu Jian shook his head and said: "Business is important, I will doze off in the sedan chair later."

This whole night, Liu Jian actually didn't dare to sleep, and just sat in this study, until Liu Jie set off with Kaolan, he felt more at ease.

His heart is complicated. He knows that if he personally sends Liu Jie to the country test, his son will be under more pressure, but if he doesn't send him, he can't sleep peacefully. It is blue, even when trying to stand up from the chair, it is unavoidable that the feet are a little frivolous, top-heavy.

But deep down in his heart, why doesn't he know the pain in Liu Jie's heart.

In the eyes of the civil and military ministers who are full of the ruling and opposition parties, what they see is that he is proud of his scenery, how simple is in the emperor's heart, but who knows, he also has unspeakable pain.
