"His Majesty!"

At this moment, a clear voice broke the silence.

It's still Fang Jifan!

Just now he flattered him indiscriminately, but Emperor Hongzhi didn't appreciate it at all and told the truth directly. This Fang Jifan... It's embarrassing to think about it, but His Majesty praised him for his meritorious service.

But Fang Jifan wasn't embarrassed at all.

Fang Jifan said excitedly: "Your Majesty is truly wise..."

"..." Everyone looked at Fang Jifan dumbfounded again, is this okay?

Zhu Houzhao was also a little confused, looking at Lao Fang strangely...

Fang Jifan said eloquently: "Your Majesty has the courage to admit his mistakes, which is rare in all dynasties. The emperors have always taken credit for themselves. Only Your Majesty never takes credit, but always takes responsibility for his mistakes. This kind of mind has never been seen before." Yes, my minister...it is indeed a crime of death, and His Royal Highness forged an imperial decree, but the reason why I am so rebellious is because I know that your majesty is magnanimous, and it is definitely not a chicken belly, but I never imagined that your majesty not only forgives Even if I have committed the crimes of my ministers, and yet still discuss meritorious service to them, Your Majesty's benevolent heart and generosity of mind make me admire you very much, and it's hard for me to repay you in case."

Everyone's expressions are very different, this sycophant...

They are also convinced.

To be a minister, after all, you should have a strong character.

There was only one person in the class, still expressionless, as if nothing happened!

This person is none other than Ouyang Zhi. As a servant of the Imperial Academy, Ouyang Zhi already has the qualifications to participate in the court meeting.

Therefore, some people who were familiar with Ouyang Zhi couldn't help but sneak a glance at Ouyang Zhi at this time.

They wanted to know what Ouyang Zhi's expression would be like as a student because Ouyang Zhi's mentor was so shameless.

It's a pity that Ouyang Zhi disappointed them, and he still has the same expressionless face that has been there for ten years.

Many people couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, they are worthy of being Ouyang's servants, they are really calm.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly and said, "Well, you and the crown prince, I will reward you for your merits. By the way, there is also Liu Jie."

Next, the angry ministers demanded a crusade against North Korea.

Such a shocking thing happened, if the court remains indifferent, it seems unreasonable.

It's just that in the ensuing war of words and guns, another big problem seemed to arise.

It is easy to clamor for crusade, but if you want to crusade, you have to go to war.

If you want to eradicate Li Long, you must prepare at least one hundred thousand troops, and you need countless food and grass. If there are fewer soldiers, even though it is a conquest, but once the battle goes wrong, the great Ming can't do anything. It's just a small country, isn't it ridiculous? up?

But if it is to mobilize a large army, it will take a few months and consume countless money and food, but it is impossible.

Now that the imperial court is going to sail to the west and has to deal with natural disasters, it is really impossible to deplete the national power.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were full of starlight, and he looked eager to try, and couldn't help asking: "Father...my son..."

Emperor Hongzhi knew what Zhu Houzhao was going to do just by hearing what he wanted to say, but...

You are the crown prince, you praised you just now, you turn around and want to lead troops to fight? I'm just a son like you, how can I allow you to mess around like this?

Even if Zhu Houzhao was really capable of winning, Emperor Hongzhi would never allow Zhu Houzhao to ask for a fight. He immediately interrupted Zhu Houzhao: "The prince and Fang Qing's family are tired of coming, and they will retreat first."

Zhu Houzhao was unwilling: "But..."

"Go." Emperor Hongzhi said solemnly, without giving Zhu Houzhao the slightest chance.

After the change of Tumubao, any emperor's personal conquest became extremely cautious, and Zhu Houzhao is the only prince in the world today, so naturally there is no possibility of personal conquest.

Looking at his father's serious eyes, Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to obediently say: "My son will leave."

Fang Jifan also retired with Zhu Houzhao, and behind him in the Palace of Qinzheng, there were still many disputes. Whether or not to crusade, how to crusade, what kind of soldiers and horses to send, how much food would be needed, I'm afraid... it would be enough to make a fuss.

Zhu Houzhao was beaming with joy, but then he became aggrieved again. Fang Jifan said: "Old Fang, I have thought about it and conquered North Korea. This is a godsend opportunity. If we go to Liaodong..."

Fang Jifan's heart skipped a beat, His Royal Highness, are you going to die again?

Fang Jifan shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness, in fact... Korea does not need to be conquered."

"What?" Zhu Houzhao never imagined that Fang Jifan was actually a peace-loving person, as if he knew Fang Jifan for the first time: "What do you mean?"

Fang Jifan smiled and said: "Li Long seems to be covering the sky with one hand in North Korea, but in fact, some people in the country have long been dissatisfied with him. He is like a giant with mud feet. He just needs to be pushed lightly, and he will fall down. So... It is too easy to eradicate Li Long, in fact...just let Liu Jie bring hundreds of Liaodong troops and horses in the name of crusade against North Korea to escort the clan and nobles who fled from North Korea to the court. The North Korean military officer who is dissatisfied with Li Long will definitely take the opportunity to attack, and at that time, without me, Daming, he will die without a place to bury him."

Fang Jifan's plan has its roots.

Now the emperors and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty believed that Li Long dared to kill, he must have completely controlled the North Korean country, but they overestimated Li Long's IQ, this guy is not only a lunatic, but also a fool who does not care about the consequences.

In history, after the Jiazi Rebellion, not long after Li Long was led by Li Cao's judge Liu Shunting, Pu Yuanzong, the governor of the central government, and his deputy Si Yongcheng Xiyan, the army launched a change of seizing the door. Li Long's confidant then entered Jingfu Palace again, deposed Li Long, and exiled Li Long to an isolated island.

Now these people who are ready to move, the reason why they dare not do it is not because they have no strength, but because they still dare not take risks easily.

He even had doubts about Daming's attitude.

Once Daming's attitude is clear and the crusade is open, people like Liu Shunting, the court official, Pu Yuanzong, the governor of the central government, and Yongcheng Xiyan, the deputy secretary, will definitely take action.

So...Fang Jifan guessed that what is lacking in North Korea now is this finishing touch.

As long as you kick it over, big things can be decided.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help being stunned, and said half-believingly: "Are you sure? Since Li Long dares to be so domineering, he must have something to rely on. At least the Forbidden Army must be in his hands."

Fang Jifan said confidently: "Your Highness, can't you trust me?"

Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt dull. If this Li Long is really so useless, it seems that it is meaningless to attack him by himself!

Zhu Houzhao was puzzled and said, "Since that's the case, why didn't you present Chen Zuo?"

"This matter needs to be done sooner than later. I'm afraid things will change, so we must take advantage of Li Long's big disappointment to take action! Therefore, the only candidate is Liu Jie, who is on the border of Liaodong. Bringing people into the court in the name of an imperial envoy."

"..."

Speaking of this, Fang Jifan seemed a little embarrassed: "If I mention it before Your Majesty, I'm afraid Mr. Liu will have the idea of ​​wanting me to shed blood in the palace on the spot. After thinking about it, Mr. Liu is old, so I don't want to provoke you." For his good...Chen...in fact, he secretly sent Liu Jie a private letter a long time ago, asking him to act immediately..."

Zhu Houzhao: "..."

It seems... makes sense.

Liu Qing's family finally found out that their son was still alive, and they were not happy for two hours. If Fang Jifan proposed at this time, let Liu Jie escort the nobles of North Korea with only hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses Entering the DPRK and going to face the hundreds of thousands of DPRK troops in the North Korean country, I am afraid that Liu Qing's family will vomit blood and die on the spot.

Reason...Of course this is the reason. As long as Fang Jifan analyzes it carefully, Zhu Houzhao believes that someone will agree with Fang Jifan.

But a son is a son, Zhu Houzhao thought, if he had a son like this, he would have to vomit three liters of blood.

Zhu Houzhao started grinning: "It's interesting...Old Fang, you're still clever. Let's cover this matter first. What I like to cook most is raw rice and cooked rice. Haha, how sure are you?"

"At least seventy to eighty percent." Fang Jifan thought for a while.

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "In this way, I can rest assured. After all, the son of Liu Qing's family still has a 70% to 80% chance of survival. At least, he will not feel uneasy."

Fang Jifan explained: "Liu Jie is the disciple and grandson of my minister. What kind of affection is this? How could I push my disciple and grandson into the fire pit? Even if it fails, the disciple and grandson of my minister will always have a chance to escape and will not die. Unless the luck is too bad, there is really nothing to do, after all, if people are unlucky, they may choke to death even if they drink cold water."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "It makes sense, it's okay, anyway, you have many disciples and grandchildren, so don't think too much about it."

The two of you said one word, and I said one word, and they were already out of the palace.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help being filled with emotion, and looked up at the sky: "Old Fang, it's the Chinese New Year again, and I'm one year older. I've been thinking about it, and I always want to make contributions, but so far... still nothing. It's really enviable that Liu Jie took all the advantages."

Fang Jifan said suddenly: "Your Highness, do you want to eat pork?"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but glared at Fang Jifan, bared his teeth and said, "Don't mention pigs."

"What I mean is that it's the Chinese New Year, and it's time to treat everyone. It's my wish to call everyone over and have a good meal. Your Highness really doesn't want to eat? It's delicious."

Zhu Houzhao sneered.

Fang Jifan thought, the Chinese New Year is coming, but this time, he wonders if Her Highness the Princess will be depressed if he doesn't see him?

Fang Jifan said: "Actually, the most important thing is that if people with brain diseases eat more pork, especially the pigs raised by the minister himself, the disease will be more hopeful to be cured. If your highness is not interested, I don't know your highness..."

Zhu Houzhao was furious immediately, grabbed Fang Jifan, and said in a bad tone: "What do you mean, what do you mean, why does Bengong think you have bad intentions? You can't even deceive Bengong!"
