[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember it in a second, never lose it!

North Korea is far away from Daming, with mountains and rivers far away. Communication in this era is extremely underdeveloped. Even if there is any report, it will be difficult to tell clearly in a while.

At the time of Emperor Wen, there were thieves in Annan who rebelled and murdered the king and usurped the throne. The Ming court didn't realize it until a few years later. If it weren't for the prince of Annan who came all the way to the capital to cry, the whole Ming might have been kept in the dark, thinking that The person sitting on the court of Annan is still the king he canonized by himself.

For Daming, the reason why North Korea was able to surrender was that on the one hand, Daming's national power far surpassed that of North Korea, and on the other hand, it was also due to cultural influence! North Korea pursues big things. As a vassal state, it has always been humble and obedient. Another reason is the cultural influence of Ming Dynasty and the infiltration of Confucianism. Speaking the same Chinese, they also quoted Confucian classics. Their gentry, the most proud thing is that they are the vassal state with the deepest influence of Sinicization among all the vassal states, and they will sing a poem from time to time. Encountered border disputes, they firmly believe that the heavens will make decisions for them.

Therefore, if a Korean nobleman were placed anywhere in Daming, he would actually be no different from ordinary gentry.

The influence of such culture is crucial.

But the current king, Li Long, is obviously missing a string in his brain. He is extremely dissatisfied with the Korean gentry and Confucianism, and hates it to the extreme. As long as he asks Daming for the golden book that enshrines his mother, a massacre will begin soon. !

In the history of North Korea, this is known as the "Jiazi Disaster", and a disaster has already begun in the entire North Korea.

And the people of North Korea never knew that Daming was deceived by Li Long. In the end, the subjects of North Korea thought that the heavenly kingdom was on Li Long's side. For the scholars who are determined to respect Ming Dynasty as their master, it will be a collapse of faith.

At this time, Fang Jifan's eyes were gloomy, and he said without hesitation: "Your Highness should immediately report to His Majesty. The court should not grant Li Long a canon, but should also issue an order to reprimand him. His mother is a deposed concubine. According to the etiquette, he should not be posthumously conferred. The Queen Mother must severely reprimand him for his behavior, and at the same time, dispatch the Liaodong 1st Army and horses to the west of the border of Chen Bing to perform military exercises."

"So serious?" After listening to Fang Jifan's words, Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised, and said according to the memorial: "But I saw that there was nothing wrong with this memorial, and this Li Long can be regarded as a filial person. pity."

Fang Jifan laughed in his heart, it's because you don't know what kind of crazy things this guy will do next.

"Your Highness, this matter has a lot to do with it. Your Highness should enter the palace immediately."

Although Zhu Houzhao felt that Fang Jifan was a bit exaggerated, he trusted Fang Jifan very much in his heart. He did not reject Fang Jifan, but smiled bitterly and said, "Just because of this unreasonable matter? Why don't you come along with me?" Palace."

Fang Jifan nodded.

…………

Emperor Hongzhi received a report today about the impeachment of Fang Jifan for raising pigs.

Some censors believed that Fang Jifan was a wolf with ambition, and Zhu Ye was a pig. Although the court did not have much taboo against pigs, Fang Jifan didn't raise cattle or sheep, so why did he raise pigs?

Of course, Emperor Hongzhi didn't pay much attention to such doubts. The censor's duty is just like this. He has to pick something to scold every day. It's abnormal if he doesn't find something to scold!

Liu Jian and others came to the Nuan Pavilion today, and they were still discussing the matter of voyages to the West, spending money like running water, countless money and food, but it was gone in a blink of an eye, and it hurts to see it.

So everyone looks sad.

At this moment, an eunuch cautiously came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is seeking an audience with Uncle Xinjian."

Emperor Hongzhi mused, it seemed that the Chinese New Year was coming, it was rare for the two of them to return to the capital, it was not easy.

He cheered up and said: "I know the prince well, he is quite a bit afraid of me, and he has always been seeking to see me, and he always goes to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. I think there must be something important to announce."

Liu Jian and the others couldn't help but smile slightly, Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty, the prince has grown a lot recently, after all... he has grown up, how can your majesty think so, your highness is still filial."

Emperor Hongzhi only pursed his lips into a smile, unable to deny it, and turned to order the little eunuch: "Call in."

Not long after, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan entered the warm pavilion one after the other!

As soon as Zhu Houzhao saw Emperor Hongzhi, he went straight to the point and said, "Father, my son and minister have something to play."

"..."

Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian looked at each other, and Liu Jian smiled wryly.

Fang Jifan was behind Zhu Houzhao, scolding in his heart, he was mentally retarded, couldn't he be gentler and be careless about everything.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao with a smile, and then looked at Fang Jifan: "Fang Qing's family is here. Since Fang Qing's family is also here, I guess it must be that Fang Qing's family has something to play, right?"

"..." Seeing his father ignoring him, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help being speechless, feeling very frustrated.

Fang Jifan then smiled and said: "Your Majesty is holy, his eyes are like torches, and his eyes are like seeing fire. His Majesty's heart is unpredictable. I... obey."

Emperor Hongzhi looked up, already immune to his words, and said, "What did you play?"

"I accompanied His Royal Highness to watch the memorial to Li Long of North Korea. I felt that there was something strange about it. It was of great importance. It was related to the court's tribute and tribute, so I had to come."

Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian looked at each other again.

They were impressed by this incident.

Li Long of North Korea had a biological mother, but she had died long ago. After he ascended the throne, he hoped to posthumously designate his mother as Queen Mother, and hoped that the court would grant her permission.

If it involves the royal family members of the Joseon Kingdom, such as queen mother, king, and queen, if there is no gold canonization from the Ming court, even if Li Long reburies his biological mother with the ceremony of the queen mother, I am afraid that... It's not right.

Li Long had just ascended the throne not long ago, and Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jianren and others had a good impression of this new king!

The memorial was very sincere, which reminded Emperor Hongzhi of his own life experience, so why wasn't he born of a court lady? My own mother, didn't she die for no apparent reason? Now, I have inherited the great order and become the son of heaven, but it is a pity...it is really embarrassing that the son wants to support but the relative is not there.

After the bill was drafted, Liu Jian expressed his approval of what Li Long had played, thinking that it was an expression of filial piety. The bill was sent to the inner court, and Emperor Hongzhi immediately granted it, and asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare all the etiquette of the Queen Mother, even the Ministry of Rites. Officials will also be sent to represent Daming to attend the funeral when the Korean king and queen mother is buried in the royal tomb again.

"Li Long is very filial. I rule the world with filial piety in Ming Dynasty. Li Long has such a heart. I am very relieved. Why, do the Qing family think there is any problem?"

Fang Jifan said sternly: "Have you ever thought about the real queen dowager of North Korea today? What's more, Li Long's mother is a deposed concubine. Why is she deposed? Wouldn't your majesty not want to find out? Besides, this memorandum Although the words are eloquent, many scriptures have been misquoted. What does this mean? It means that Li Long did not discuss this matter with the North Korean courtiers at all, but wrote it privately, bypassing the subjects, and directly reporting to His Majesty. Zou Chen, if he has the confidence, why doesn't he discuss with others, such a big matter, why doesn't he discuss with others, and write a letter directly?"

"Your Majesty thinks that if something is abnormal, it is a demon. Li Long's various behaviors are too strange. Although he is in the name of filial piety, he has done something beyond the etiquette. Not only can His Majesty not follow his will and issue the will of canonization, Instead, I should warn him, I am worried... the internal situation in North Korea has undergone drastic changes, and Daming is among them, if we can't use this to dispel Li Long's wolfish ambitions, I'm afraid something will change..."

After hearing Fang Jifan's analysis, Emperor Hongzhi became cautious, he winked at Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing understood, and quickly took the memorial!

Emperor Hongzhi looked carefully for a while, and seemed to have noticed something strange. Indeed, as Fang Jifan said, several allusions were wrong.

From this point of view, it is very likely that Li Long wrote the book privately. In order to prevent the leak of information, he did not ask any civil servants to write it for him!

Emperor Hongzhi said to Liu Jian, "What do Liu Qing's family think?"

"Your Majesty." Liu Jian said with a wry smile: "The people from the Ministry of Rites have already set off with the canonized edict."

"..." Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

This means that the imperial decree has been issued, and the emperor has opened his mouth. Can it be withdrawn?

He trusts Fang Jifan, but he still feels that Fang Jifan's alarmist words are a bit alarmist. Maybe this is just an act of a filial son out of sincerity. Since Fang Jifan came here to issue a warning, he wants to take it back and wait and see. , Sent... definitely can't be warned, you can't just scold someone just because they ask for a concubine for the mother.

But now...

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan was speechless for a while, usually looking at the civil and military men of the court, all of them looked lazy, and they would have to argue for ten and a half months about big things, even if they made a decision, it would take a while before they were slow The imperial edict was issued, but for today's things, they are very fast.

It's a pity, after all... still didn't stop it.

However, Zhu Houzhao quietly gave Fang Jifan a wink, which seemed to reveal a lot of joy.

Fang Jifan couldn't understand.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Since the edict has been promulgated, then... let's deal with this matter like this, Fang Qing's family, I know that you are quite accurate, but if it is late, it will be too late, that's the only way."

"..."

Zhu Houzhao said at this time: "Then, my son will retire."

He seemed to have something to do and was in a hurry to leave, not knowing what was going on in his mind.
