Chapter 1044: Reward
It is rare that His Majesty is so polite that Fang Jifan is very moved and wants to say something.
But it seemed that Emperor Hongzhi was unwilling to give Fang Jifan the opportunity to express his inner joy. Emperor Hongzhi said: "Show memorials to Fang Jifan and Tang Qing's family."
Xiao Jing took Qi Jingtong's memorial and sent it to Fang Jifan.
After only a brief look at it, Fang Jifan understood why he had just bumped into the Japanese envoy.
Fang Jifan coughed and said, "Your Majesty... are you planning to suppress the Japanese again?"
Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while: "The Tang Qing family once suppressed the Japanese and made great contributions. I am just about to ask."
Tang Yin had read the memorial and was about to speak.
Who knew that Fang Jifan replied: "Your Majesty, you don't need to ask Tang Yin, he is a disciple of Erchen. All these three-legged kung fu are taught by Erchen."
Emperor Hongzhi glared at Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan said sincerely: "The so-called man is the first to win the horse, and the thief is the first to capture the king. Instead of being angry with the Japanese pirates, it is better to solve the Japanese pirates once and for all, and directly order the Ningbo Navy to go to Japan to sue Japan. If the Japanese ignore it, it will be impossible to flatten its country. In this way, there will be no Japanese tragedy."
Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you have been raising troops for a thousand days. The court has raised the navy for so long, how can you let them have a good meal? Your Majesty rests assured that Qi Jingtong, the disciple of the son minister, is not even as good as his disciple, but as long as His Majesty gives his order, he will definitely break through the Kingdom of Japan and give his majesty a blow."
In Fang Jifan's opinion, Qi Jingtong is not as good as his disciple. After all, isn't Qi Jiguang who was born shortly after, isn't he also his disciple? He is not beating his father.
Tang Yin was beside him, his face flushed, trying to say something, but he wanted to say something but stopped.
Fang Jifan glared at him, thinking that Tang Yin wanted to deceive his master and destroy his ancestors, so he couldn't help but say viciously: "Tang Yin, what do you have to say?"
"This...this...this...school, I'm wrong..."
Fang Jifan's face was pulled down. He hated two kinds of people the most in his life. One was Zhu Houzhao who cheated his money. The other was that the person who sang against him would not beat you to death!
"Where is the mistake?" Fang Jifan naturally smiled like spring breeze and asked kindly in front of outsiders.
Tang Yin said: "The Ningbo Navy has not spent any money and food in the court. It is all harvested from the sea, so... it is the navy who supports the court."
Fang Jifan: "..."
Emperor Hongzhi frowned after hearing Fang Jifan's words: "Is this... a little overreacting?"
Liu Jian and others were around, and they couldn't help but be speechless.
Too cruel!
Liu Jian coughed: "Is it too much to mobilize the troops? Besides, if the navy is not good, it will be difficult for the imperial court to ride a tiger. I will take a look at it, so let's take a look at it slowly. Although this Japanese country is poor and weak, it is not a good-for-nothing lamp. What's more, Japan is across the sea from our Ming Dynasty, and it will be a big conquest because of sporadic Japanese pirates. Is it..."
This is the old saying of planning the country.
In fact, even Tang Yin felt that his mentor was a bit over.
Fang Jifan was happy: "If this is the case, this problem of Japanese pirates will never be solved. Even if the Ming Dynasty suppressed the Japanese, it would be a group of people, and another group of people would be...unfortunate."
Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian looked at each other.
A terrible thought passed through their hearts.
Or...beat Japan and give it a try?
Although Fang Jifan's plan was too extreme, it was indeed a solution to the root cause.
After this thought passed by Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian's hearts, even they themselves felt that they were a little bold. They had a tendency to learn bad things when they got along with this Fang Jifan.
But immediately afterwards, thinking of countless money and food to go out, the wait-and-see countries only led to Wuming in the name of a mere Japanese pirates. There were also various other cumbersome problems, which still restored their rationality.
Emperor Hongzhi said seriously: "Tomorrow, I will issue a decree to the Japanese envoy and severely criticize his faults."
Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have a little intention of expanding the situation.
Fang Jifan and Tang Yin looked at each other, and Tang Yin was a little speechless. Mentor... This is to take His Majesty into the ditch.
First, I was scolded. If Japan did not respond, it would be a more severe reprimand. But what if Japan still did me?
But this is fine. Tang Yin was sure that he knew very well that the bastards of Ningbo Navy had really reached the point of conquering the Japanese. I don’t know how many people screamed and their blood was thundering. Even if they were stuffed into the coffin, they wouldn’t be able to suppress the coffin board.
Liu Jian was solemnly concerned: "The old minister obeyed the order."
Emperor Hongzhi took a sip of tea and his face calmed down: "If... take a step back ten thousand steps, if Japan still remains the same and violates my power in the Great Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has really reached the point of conquest, will the navy be able to use it?"
This is what Tang Yin said.
Tang Yin said: "Your Majesty, you can do it."
Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "But I heard that the Japanese are so brave and fierce. Even a group of wandering warriors who went into the sea had amazing combat power. Otherwise, the southeast would not have caused harm to the Japanese for a hundred years. The navy won the victory in the suppression of the Japanese because they were only a mere Japanese pirates... But this time, it was this huge Japanese country, which could not be the same as [ ] Japanese, I... I... was a little worried."
Tang Yin said: "Your Majesty has something to do. My Ming Dynasty built a naval division and restarted its voyage to the West. Not only did it train a large number of naval division personnel, but the number of ships was increasing. The most important thing was to let countless naval division officers and soldiers truly see a new world. Your Majesty, the people in the sea, and the people on the land were different."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Different?"
"Yes." Tang Yin said: "I don't know what to say. Your Majesty can only see with his own eyes the dangerous environment they face after the naval army went to sea to know their difficulties and their ability to survive in this adversity. In my opinion, such people are not inferior to those of the Japanese. As for the Japanese warriors on the Japanese island, although they claim to be brave, they are even more worth mentioning."
There is no way to explain.
Tang Yin was amused and crying.
He can't say that those screaming guys have been poor for eighteen years. If they have a little hope of getting rich, they will be desperate and do everything. Don't put your head on the belt. You can't even suppress life and death.
This is the temple and the imperial court. How can you say such "vulgar" words? But Tang Yin is relatively thin and always feels embarrassed to give him words such as loyalty and courage, serving the country and the people, and after all... he is a shameless person.
Tang Yin felt uncomfortable.
Emperor Hongzhi still had a little understanding of it, but looked at Fang Jifan: "Jifan, do you have confidence?"
"Your Majesty, Tang Yin said there is, of course there is. My son is responsible for the affairs of voyage to the West..."
Halfway through Fang Jifan's words, Emperor Hongzhi said, "Since that's the case, then Jifan will be responsible for this matter. Jifan will be the main envoy, negotiate with the Kingdom of Japan, and Tang Yin will be the deputy."
Emperor Hongzhi is very decisive. Since I don’t understand, you two understand very well, then... I will leave this to you. Anyway, I don’t want to see news of Japanese pirates again.
Emperor Hongzhi said again: "I will give you a year... I will give you a year. Within a year, if there are still Japanese pirates raging, I will find you. Of course... If the sea waves are pacified and the people of the Ming Dynasty will not be harmed by the Japanese pirates, then... I will remember your great achievements."
"ah……"
Fang Jifan didn't expect that His Majesty would become like this.
Why does this sound like a contracted household?
Fang Jifan felt a little embarrassed and wandered without saying a word.
Emperor Hongzhi glared at him: "What, what's the problem with you?"
Fang Jifan coughed: "Your Majesty, if things are not done well, your Majesty will cause trouble for your son. But you don't understand it very much. If Haibo is calmed down, what does this great merit mean? Your Majesty should not misunderstand that Erchen is a person with high ambitions and will not give any credit or rewards before he fell in love. But... Tang Yin, the disciple of Erchen, may be more vulgar, and it is difficult to have such love for Erchen. As his mentor, Erchen has always treated him as his own son. Therefore, Erchen wants to ask, how to reward this merit?"
Tang Yin: “…”
This time... I really learned to be smart.
Since he gave Fang Jifan another three million gold last time, Fang Jifan has seen through it, and it is more pleasant to spread the word out, otherwise he would always reward several million gold, which would be too heartbreaking.
This is simply an insult to the IQ, and it is to rub one's own personality on the ground.
Emperor Hongzhi's face changed slightly.
"Will I treat you badly in terms of merit and reward?" Emperor Hongzhi was so angry: "You regard Tang Yin as your son, and I also regard you as your son. When Tang Yin is about it, he is my relative and grandson. I will treat his descendants so poorly? What are you saying?"
Tang Yin: “…”
Liu Jian coughed: "This, this, your Majesty calmed down."
Emperor Hongzhi was still angry: "I... I will have a heavy reward. If I solve the Japanese disaster within one year, this is a great achievement. When will I treat you badly, especially you... You are my son-in-law. Isn't my daily reward enough?"
Fang Jifan didn't expect... to stab the hornet's nest, and he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he kept winking at Tang Yin, meaning that His Majesty was furious, so he wouldn't hurry up and block the knife for his teacher.
Tang Yin: “…”
Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "It's so outrageous. Why don't you dare to speak anymore? And... Tang Qing's family, do you think so too?"
Tang Yin: “…”
Emperor Hongzhi said: "I let you tell me!"
"Yes! That's what I think. I am a vulgar person. As my teacher said, I am greedy for fame and fortune. I hope Your Majesty can reward my teacher and me. I really deserve to die!" Tang Yin's eyes were red.
He has to take the blame.
“…”
The atmosphere in Fengtian Palace became particularly awkward.
