Kunning Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi had a rare day off.

In fact, this is also helpless, if Liu Jian and others are not called to discuss matters, one day's government affairs will be lost.

Emperor Hongzhi stayed in the Nuan Pavilion for half a day, and he knew that it would be useless to stay there, so he simply came to Kunning Palace.

Who knew that at this time, there was a strong smell of meat coming from the Kunning Palace.

This tangy aroma, there is a hint of potato taste.

Emperor Hongzhi hadn't had lunch yet, and the scent stimulated his appetite, making him feel really hungry.

He stepped forward, and the maid in front of the door wanted to go in to report, Emperor Hongzhi smiled and pressed his hand, and the maid nodded, as if she understood His Majesty's intention.

Emperor Hongzhi continued to walk in slowly. In the bedroom, Zhu Houzhao's voice came: "Mother, this is cooked for you and my sister by my son. It is delicious. These are potatoes and this is beef. Don't panic, mother." , the minister is a law-abiding person, the law of the country is like a mountain, and the prince breaks the law and the same crime as the common people. These principles, the ministers understand, you see, in order to let the mother know that the ministers are not privately slaughtering cattle, even the "Cow Slaughter Book" 'Brought them all, written in black and white, clearly and plainly, did you see it, so the cow fell into the mountain col and died violently, and he was allowed to slaughter the cow..."

"..." Emperor Hongzhi narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, with a meaningful look in his eyes.

He knows everything about Xishan.

Dongchang reported everything that happened there, every detail.

Hearing this guy's happy tone, Emperor Hongzhi's face was pulled down, and he quickened his pace and entered the bedroom.

On the tables here, there was a plate of roast beef with potatoes, still steaming hot, the steam filled the whole bedroom with its fragrance.

Zhu Houzhao looked excited.

Empress Zhang and Zhu Xiurong looked at it curiously. It seemed that Zhu Xiurong was worried about her brother, so she took a look around with the cattle slaughtering book, although she herself didn't know what the cattle slaughtering book looked like, let alone why the cattle slaughtering book was needed. , but since my brother said that he has a book on slaughtering cattle, it is not a crime. I think this must be extremely important!

It's just that based on her understanding of this brother, the cattle slaughter book is probably made by fraud.

"Ahem..." Emperor Hongzhi coughed deliberately.

Zhu Houzhao turned his back to Emperor Hongzhi, and immediately shivered.

Then he hurriedly and cautiously turned his head, suddenly frightened out of his wits.

Emperor Hongzhi stared straight at him and said, "Didn't you go to Xishan today?"

"Xishan is taking a rest today." Zhu Houzhao was so frightened that he didn't dare to vent his anger: "Because all the other students went to watch the list."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded lightly, feeling that this kid was not pleasing to his eyes.

He wanted to explode about the slaughter of cattle, but he had to endure it in front of Queen Zhang and Zhu Xiurong.

Finally, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes fell on the plate of roast beef with potatoes.

This roasted beef with potatoes is really famous for a long time. I didn't eat this when I went back to Xishan to find the prince. Why don't you try it now?

Emperor Hongzhi sat down next to Empress Zhang, and said calmly, "Well, don't let your study go to waste. What did you teach you in Xishan recently?"

Zhu Houzhao just wanted to speak.

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head again and said, "Forget it, it's rare for the whole family to be together today, so I won't talk about it. Let's see how scared you look."

It was rare to relax, and Emperor Hongzhi looked at his wife and his children, and couldn't help feeling satisfied!

He took the chopsticks and ate a piece of beef, the taste...was really...good.

"That's right. Potatoes are such a good thing. They are full of treasures." Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened and he said, "Father, did you read it wrong? What you just ate was obviously beef."

"..." Emperor Hongzhi has been wondering why he always gets so angry every time he sees this kid. Today, he has some clues. This guy is really a temper that needs to be beaten.

Empress Zhang was the closest person to Emperor Hongzhi, so she understood Emperor Hongzhi's expression and quickly changed the subject: "Your Majesty, why did you come back so early today?"

Emperor Hongzhi laughed and said, "Our Liu Qing family's son is going to be released in the provincial examination. I see that he is restless, so I simply let him rest for a day. I also took the opportunity to hide."

Empress Zhang smiled and said: "Since he is the son of Liu Qing's family, he must be a tiger father without a son. I think he will go to high school."

Zhu Xiurong only rested his chin, blinked his eyes, and tried hard to digest the information from the outside world.

She couldn't help but mutter in her heart, why didn't Fang Jifan take the imperial examination?

If he takes the imperial examination, he must be the best.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled, shook his head and said: "Speaking of it, it's a bit irritating. Liu Qing's family is good at everything, but this son has failed many times. Hey, let's not talk about it."

Outside, Xiao Jing came in a hurry.

"Your Majesty." Xiao Jing came in panting.

Emperor Hongzhi took another bite with the beef between his hands.

Potatoes are such a good thing!

As he thought about it, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Jing who was out of breath, and he knew in his heart that the Gong Yuan... had released the list.

"Your Majesty." Xiao Jing looked horrified, looked at Empress Zhang, then at the Prince, and said: "Your Majesty, the list has been released."

"

How is Liu Jie? "Emperor Hongzhi stared at Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing was usually steady in front of him, but his appearance now looks like he saw a ghost.

"It's high school."

call……

Emperor Hongzhi heaved a long sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the hard work paid off, and Liu Qing's family could breathe a sigh of relief.

"The high school student is Jie Yuan."

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help being taken aback.

Then, a look of surprise began to appear on his face, this Liu Jialang was so capable, it was nothing but a blockbuster.

However, Xiao Jing still said with a shocking expression: "The more frightening thing is not this, but... but... of the top fifteen on this list, Xishan College occupies thirteen, of which the first to seventh, And since then, except for the thirteenth place, all the students of Xishan College have been on the list, Your Majesty, the capital is shocked."

"The number one... the number one Liu Jie is also at Xishan College?" Emperor Hongzhi was amazed.

"Yes, others don't know, but this Liu Jie's name is hidden, so outsiders don't know much about it, but Dongchang has already secretly reported it. Before the servant has time to tell His Majesty, the servant will die."

"..."

Really, God.

"This Xishan Academy... is so terrifying." Emperor Hongzhi was so surprised that he didn't even have time to chew the beef in his mouth.

Zhu Houzhao twitched his eyebrows and was excited: "They are all Erchen's classmates."

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath: "This Fang Jifan is really a man of great talent."

Empress Zhang rolled her eyes and seemed a little moved: "Your Majesty, is Xishan Academy related to Fang Jifan?"

"It's more than related. This academy was originally set up by Fang Jifan. Several of his disciples taught people there, and now, all the students taught by his disciples are good."

At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi really felt the power of Fang Jifan's teaching method.

This is simply a manufacturing machine for Jinshi and Juren. Can scholars still mass-produce?

Out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but glance at Zhu Houzhao, who was so happy.

Zhu Xiurong was surprised at this moment: "Father, doesn't that mean that these great scholars are all taught by Fang Jifan's disciples? Fang Jifan is their mentor's mentor..."

Emperor Hongzhi had put down his chopsticks, and he was in a daze. Then, he took another look at Zhu Houzhao and said, "It is said that Fang Jifan will meet you. Yes, there is also Wang Shouren. I really want to see him."

Zhu Xiurong's pretty face was slightly red, but she blinked her eyes, and then gently snuggled up to the queen mother's side.

Empress Zhang glanced at Zhu Xiurong inadvertently, but remained silent.

It's just that deep in the eyes, there seems to be something meaningful.

…………

At the other end, Liu Jian staggered back to the Liu Mansion. When the father and son met, they first stared at each other for a long time.

Then, the father and son actually hugged their heads and burst into tears.

In fact, both Liu Jian and Liu Jie were dumbfounded.

It still feels like a dream!

Liu Jie walked back home, neither sitting nor standing, the people in the house thought that the young master had failed the ranking again, so they dared not approach him, but now, after meeting his father, he saw that his father was not wearing boots, and his feet were The foot wrap had been drenched by snow water long ago, and he felt a surge of sadness and ecstasy at the same time. He stepped forward and hugged Liu Jian, weeping with joy: "Father, my son... has passed the high school, and the son saw the list with his own eyes. Ranked first, Beizhili Jieyuan."

"I know it for my father, I know it for my father." Liu Jian, who had experienced many turmoil and storms, his eyes were blurred, he patted his back and said: "You are worthy of being the son of the father. The ancestors have spirits in the sky. Fortunately."

After crying, wipe away the tears.

Liu Jian looked at Liu Jie solemnly: "You have failed many times in the past, but this time you are the first in high school. Why?"

Liu Jie said, "It's all taught by a few gentlemen, Mr. Wang, Mr. Liu, and..."

"It's Fang Jifan!" Liu Jian's eyes lit up.

"Of course it is also due to Uncle Xinjian, he..." Liu Jie paused, and then said: "Also, the other twelve students in the academy have also graduated from high school, and like my son, they are all at the top of the list. "

Liu Jian took a deep breath, and immediately, he straightened his face, his face serious: "You rebellious son, you really don't know anything, kneel down."

Liu Jie was taken aback. Although he didn't understand why, he quickly knelt down: "Father..."

Liu Jian said angrily: "Since that's the case, then Fang Jifan has such a great favor for you. Since you are in high school, you should go to Fang's family to announce the good news and thank you at the same time. Our Liu family is a family of poetry and books. This is a gift, but you are in high school. , come home like this, aren’t you ungrateful?”

Liu Jie suddenly realized: "Son... The son was just wandering, and he didn't think of this."

"You..." Liu Jian pointed at Liu Jie, and said heartbrokenly, "If you know how to repay your kindness, you are a gentleman, don't find other excuses."

"Yes, son, that's it...but, didn't father say, don't let the son reveal his identity in Xishan..."

Liu Jian said with a blue face: "Such a great kindness, you still care about these trivial details? Come on, the old man will take you to Fang's house. Our Liu family must be upright in dealing with things!"
