Chen Zhong was stunned.

His eyes were straight at Emperor Hongzhi.

He looked incredible.

This man...proclaims himself the emperor.

He never believed that the emperor was right in front of him.

But………

He tried hard to identify the person in front of him, and he did look familiar.

How to say...

It's somewhat similar to a person in my memory.

What is it?

Baochao...

Chen Zhong suddenly thought of something.

The person in Baochao is really similar to the person in front of him.

Ordinary people naturally will not associate the person in front of them with the person in Baochao.

After all, people have blind spots in thinking.

But……

Now after Emperor Hongzhi’s reminder, Chen Zhong thought of something.

He suddenly felt that his lame legs could no longer support his body.

The crutches in my hand also hit the ground.

Chen Zhong's legs became weak and he fell to the ground with a snap.

...

Emperor Hongzhi was filled with emotion.

I am the one who lost more than 800,000 taels of silver.

These more than 800,000 taels are saved by me.

But now... he smiled, and smiled with relief.

After Emperor Hongzhi said that, he couldn't help but look at Fang Jifan.

It seems...it is said that more than 800,000 taels of silver is indeed not a minority.

But... Jifan took the more than 800,000 taels of silver and bought me the hearts of the people of the world.

This... is a priceless treasure.

Even if it is eight million taels of silver, it cannot be bought.

Looking at Chen Zhong, an old man who once guarded the border, nine taels of silver was his last little property and the silver he worked hard for.

How many Chen Zhongs are there in this capital, and how many Chen Zhongs are ecstatic after returning the money in full?

It's worth it!

Emperor Hongzhi leaned down.

Chen Zhong crawled on the ground with his hands trembling.

Chen Zhong looked up bravely and looked at Emperor Hongzhi with a look, and was still surprised in his eyes: "You...you...you are really Your Majesty..."

Emperor Hongzhi rarely felt gentle and smiled and said, "Dare you dare to call yourself Your Majesty the crime of death. Do you think I am like a bad person? If this is the case, wouldn't it be the crime of death? Come, get up, you have difficulty in your legs and feet, sit down and talk."

"Your Majesty..." Chen Zhongdaotao burst into tears: "The little man seemed to be dreaming. He never expected that His Majesty would be destined to this place, the grass people... the grass people..."

Emperor Hongzhi forced him to sit down, but he sat opposite him.

In the hot charcoal basin, the flames were red. Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "I came here just to see if the money was paid and if there was any inside story. When I saw you receive the money, I felt at ease. What I lost was more than 800,000 taels of silver, and what you lost was life-saving money. Although nine taels of silver were small, for you, it was everything for you."

Chen Zhong choked up and couldn't speak, just kept nodding.

I was very excited just now, but now I can't say a word.

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "You are a meritorious minister of the court. Your legs are what the court owe you. It's a pity that the court had difficulties at the beginning, and the only pensions and bounties he gave were given. Now the treasury is still sufficient, and no one reported your affairs to my desk. This is the dereliction of duty of all officials and my mistakes. If even you are uneasy, who would still be willing to defend the Ming Dynasty? Where did this country and the country come from?"

Chen Zhong burst into tears, his face full of emotion: "Your Majesty is the saint and emperor. If you have this idea, it will be worth it even if you have a life of death."

"This is thank you and thank you for your kindness." Emperor Hongzhi said: "Fortunately you made me lose more than 800,000 taels of silver, and thanks to your compensation plan. I will say it clearly. If it weren't for your initiative, I wouldn't be willing to let it go. Silver is a good thing, who doesn't like it? Everyone says that they are noble and honest under the saints, but if they say they don't love gold and silver, this is extremely hypocritical."

"But..." Emperor Hongzhi said: "I was just a little short of it. With just one thought, I almost missed a big deal. Chen Zhong is a poor person, and there are many such poor people in the world. At the beginning, they were all like me, greedy for temporary gains, but were deceived from all their wealth. Now... Alas, Jifan, for you, I am the king and the father, so let Xiao Jing kowtow to you."

Emperor Hongzhi had thousands of feelings.

After this trip, he realized that more than 800,000 taels were gone, but what he gained was actually ten times a hundred times a day.

He is the emperor, and money is nothing after all. No matter how important it is, it is not as good as the human heart.

What Fang Jifan bought for himself was this human heart.

Fang Jifan said, "My son did nothing and was very ashamed. How could he deserve such reward from His Majesty? Besides, my son was deeply grateful to the emperor and it was a matter of course to do whatever he wanted."

Fang Jifan's words seemed to be against his will.

Emperor Hongzhi laughed, all the reluctance and depression in his heart were wiped out.

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "What I said just now, but to be honest, you are just a donkey. If you don't urge me, you will not be willing to do your best. Those old soldiers who have made military achievements have a lot of worries and paid a lot of money. In the past, the court was not strong enough, but now... the treasury is still quite rich, so you need to take care of it. You can find a way to find old soldiers like Chen Zhong, especially those who have no children, who should let them enjoy their old age and must not be neglected."

Fang Jifan agreed with this very much and said solemnly: "I obey the order."

Emperor Hongzhi held his hands behind his back, and a smile appeared on his lips, saying, "I have benefited a lot from this trip today."

Fang Jifan remembered an important thing and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Jiang Yan is still scolding his son minister."

Humph, is he the kind of person who is willing to suffer losses?

When this matter was mentioned, the smile on Emperor Hongzhi's face gradually disappeared.

His face was as cold as frost, and his meaningful look was revealed: "He, a censor, had originally captured the wind and shadows and impeached anything, which was his duty. But this person... was not distinguished between black and white, and pointed a deer as a horse. If even such good policies were allowed to be criticized, then...will people in the world who want to do something dare to do something? If everyone is afraid of their hands and feet, dare not do things, and dare not give good advice, then...who will share my worries? I give the censor the power to impeach me, so that they can help me get better and eliminate bad things, and it is impeachment of illegal things, not just like him, who is just useless, but they want to show themselves everywhere and show their abilities."

After Emperor Hongzhi said that, he looked at Fang Jifan and said seriously: "Jifan, what do you think I should do?"
