Chapter Twelve: The Little Ancestor Is Uneasy Again

Emperor Hongzhi ordered people to distribute dozens of papers submitted by his personal military residence. There were several on his desk. When Zhu Houzhao heard that it was a policy theory, and it was a policy theory about the affairs of the southwest border, he seemed to be interested, so he looked at his father pitifully.

Unfortunately, Emperor Hongzhi ignored him and took a article on the desk wholeheartedly. He only read it quickly. After a long time, he said lightly: "Yes, you can also take a look."

He said that, he handed it to a little eunuch around him, and the little eunuch passed the article on it.

Liu Jian looked down for a moment and felt at ease. What Your Majesty calls good is just "good". In this good article, the running script is quite correct, and the answer to the questions explains how to use military forces in the southwest, and it also says that it is a ugliness and Yin and Mao.

Of course... for the nobles, there is no picky answer to this.

Then Emperor Hongzhi read a few more articles in a row, occasionally nodding, but sometimes he would add a comment in an understatement: "This article is OK."

He smiled self-deprecatingly. Although it was okay, his eyebrows began to frown slightly, and deep in his eyes, he seemed disappointed.

Then, he subconsciously smiled bitterly, and then he realized that he was confused. These days, he was thinking about the problem of the southwest day and night. He was an emperor with a strong sense of responsibility. It was because of the rebellion in the southwest that he was even more anxious. Unexpectedly, because of the thoughts day and night, he actually placed his hope on a group of young men.

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi smiled and knew that he had gone too far, so he didn't expect anything.

Emperor Hongzhi said, "After reading so many articles, you must be exhausted, please give up."

Liu Jian and others stood up and saluted. They had long been no longer interested in the articles of these meritorious children. In their opinion, many people were even worse than those of their children. It was extremely painful to read such articles that were as delicious as wax, so they quietly retreated from the warm room.

Emperor Hongzhi was also a little tired, and waved his hand and wanted to push the article left in the last to let the eunuchs pack up, but with his eyes swept, a line of words suddenly caught my eye - changing the land and returning to the flow!

This word, which was unprecedented and unseen, suddenly became interested, so he slowly picked up the article and narrowed his eyes slightly. Wherever the blood-covered eyes were swept, he saw that there were three strategies in this article, "using barbarians to control barbarians", "recommend kindness" and "changing land and returning to the current".

The best understanding of the order to express our grace is that the problem in the southwest is that the natives are unwilling to naturalize, so the imperial court set up a banished state and enthroned many hereditary chieftains in the southwest. These hereditary chieftains often have high mountains and far away emperors, so they naturally became local local emperors. Many rebellions were either caused by the chieftains' exploitation too fiercely, or they were the chieftains taking the lead.

If we use the method of giving up favors, it can indeed weaken the strength of these hereditary chieftains and prevent them from acting rashly.

However, using barbarians to control barbarians is not new. As early as the reign of Emperor Yingzong, the concept of using barbarians to control barbarians was already established. The court gathered the Zhuang people and Tujia people from Xiangxi and other places and transferred them to Guangxi to quell the local native rebellion. The so-called reward was the land and food of the rebellious tribes. Therefore, these people were called "wolf soldiers". In order to obtain land and food, the wolf soldiers naturally fought bravely. In addition, they were not local natives, so even if they obtained land and were able to farm, they needed to prevent other natives. Therefore, most of them were loyal to the court and knew that only by joining with local officers and soldiers could they ensure their habitat.

But this changed the land and returned to the flow...

So many articles explain how to eliminate the rebellion, how to advance and how to appease, but none of them hit the nail on the head.

But this article, based on the four words "Reform of Land and Return to the Reflow", seemed to suddenly wake up Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi was so excited that he slapped the table: "What a wonderful thing, what a wonderful thing, haha..."

This article is about Huming. Emperor Hongzhi excitedly tore Huming, and a name came into view - Fang Jifan...

This name has some impression... This person seems to be...

Suddenly, Emperor Hongzhi's face became a little unnatural. He put the article aside and became silent again: "Pour tea."

There were already a young eunuch from the Duzhijian waiting outside. When he heard the shout, he tiptoed in, bowed his body, and put on a hot set of tea.

This person was the little eunuch who tied up Fang Jifan last time. Although he was proud outside the palace, he was pretending to be a tiger's power, but in front of Emperor Hongzhi, he was like a castrated quail.

The little eunuch bowed his body and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please use tea."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, took a teacup, took a sip, and saw Zhu Houzhao kneeling on one side from the corner of his eyes, but now he focused on the four words "change the land and return to the flow", so he curiously said: "Fang Jifan...has this person heard about it?"

The little eunuch had been with Emperor Hongzhi. These days, he had heard from His Majesty that Fang Jifan had three times. The first time, this guy actually sold his ancestral land, which made Emperor Hongzhi very angry. The second time, he was involved in the chasing review. Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have pity Nan He Bo. After thinking about it, he would tie up the unfilial son of the Fang family to participate in the chasing review. After the chasing review, he would throw this guy into the personal military guard station in any corner and find a ruthless person to train. He had no good impression of the previous two times, but this time he mentioned it.

But I think that Your Majesty must have a deep hatred for this person...

The little eunuch named Liu Qian had long hated Fang Jifan. However, he was a very cautious person, but he would not rashly say bad things about Nan and his uncle and son. Only when he found the right opportunity could he dare to take the blame without showing any slightest deception.

And now...the opportunity is here.

The little eunuch hurriedly said, "Have you forgotten that this is the playboy who sold his ancestral property. I heard many rumors outside the palace, saying that he was ignorant and was scammers all day long, and even... I heard that he was slandering the emperor. This person was very arrogant and didn't take anyone seriously. He often said that God... Even if the king of heaven came to him, he would..." Liu Qian said this, and was very tactful and did not continue.

This sentence is extremely vicious. Who is the Emperor? Isn’t it the emperor? Fang Jifan said that the Emperor is full of the words, and he has turned against him!

Anyone who is angry with His Majesty's rebellious scale will be in a state of death without a burial place.

At this time, the little eunuch continued, "Of course, I am also heard from me...haha..."

This is to leave a way out for yourself. After all, the other party is Nan and his uncle and son, so they cannot speak to death.

But in the end, he seemed to support the evidence, and said, "I heard that in the past two days, this little ancestor has become uneasy again. He actually went to Dongshi to set up a stall, saying that he wanted to sell ebony or sell it at a price of ten times the market price. Your Majesty, isn't this a forced purchase and sale, or is it a bullying of good people?"

Although Emperor Hongzhi did not dare to say that he loved the people as much as his son, he could also be called a wise king. When he heard that he bullied the people, he immediately showed disgust on his face.

Zhu Houzhao knelt aside, and when he saw his father like this, he was secretly happy. It turned out that it was Fang Jifan again. He was so brave that he dared to be even more naughty than this prince. Last time, he had to copy the "On the Debate of Tyrants" that had been copied dozens of times. The account has not been settled for this guy. Well, now it has made the father angry. I really can't save the king.

"What happened?" Emperor Hongzhi said furiously: "It's really outrageous! I dare not plunder the people's wealth easily. Where did he get the courage? He is an unfilial son. I have heard of it, but I have been thinking about the contributions of his father and ancestors, so I have to let it go, but now he is getting worse. Can I tolerate it? This matter should be investigated to the end!"

After the words came, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly remembered something and looked at Liu Qian: "Where did he forcefully sell ebony?"

"Dong...Dong City..." Liu Qian was overjoyed. This Fang Jifan was over!

Hehe, I will teach you how to be rude to us!
