This discovery was really shocking for Emperor Hongzhi.

If this is true, then... all this will be clearer.

Among all civil and military officials, most of them are smart people.

How could it be that I could indulge a Ruyi Money House and store it in Beijing for a year?

Previously, there was no report on this matter.

Some people don't know it.

For example, Fang Jifan only learned about it later.

Some people may be due to the deviation of the message and do not care about these things.

Of course, there are many high-ranking officials who have been paying attention to it for a long time, and they have become interested in it.

But...Isn't anyone really able to see anything?

It’s not that they didn’t see it, but they had seen it long ago, but found that it was profitable, so they took the initiative.

But Fang Jifan detonated this Ruyi Money House in advance, completely destroying their plan.

It is precisely because of this that a group of people were dissatisfied with Fang Jifan. It was not just that Fang Jifan only distributed 60% of their silver.

But because Fang Jifan destroyed their plan to seek profit, their losses were not only 40% of the capital, but also huge returns they thought they were bound to get.

They are Ruyi Money House and their biggest accomplices.

But... after the incident broke out, they could still impeach and criticize Ruyi Money House and Fang Jifan.

Emperor Hongzhi was tense, his face was sallow and cold all over.

This discovery was a huge shock to him.

This is betrayal.

I have a lot of preference for scholars, even if the new policies have been implemented in recent years, which have deviated from their original intentions.

But now...

The manager of the Jiang Mansion refused to speak out when he saw Emperor Hongzhi.

Fang Jifan and others seemed to have noticed the seriousness of the problem and stopped talking.

The manager's eyes turned slightly and continued, "This is all about children...haha...haha..."

"Yes." Emperor Hongzhi suddenly spoke.

He actually forced himself to suppress the anger.

Now that it is furious, it is useless.

Emperor Hongzhi slowly smiled: "I am here to verify the return of the stolen money by the order of Xishan Money House. Although the Censor Jiang did not invest money, he heard that many high-ranking officials and nobles all invested money secretly, so they came to ask so as not to make any omissions."

The manager immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, no, Jiang Mansion has never had any connection with Ruyi Money House. Children are talking nonsense."

"No?" Emperor Hongzhi smiled and looked at the manager: "Since that's the case, I'll disturb you."

He stood up and said, "I'm just here to verify. If you say no, then naturally there is no. I'm disturbing you."

As he said that, he walked away.

The manager finally breathed a sigh of relief and was a little worried, but after thinking about it carefully, it was just some people who ran errands in the money shop, and it seemed that they didn't have to take these things to heart.

...

Emperor Hongzhi led his men and left Jiang Mansion.

He kept silent, and Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan behind him did not dare to go forward to touch his bad temper.

Zhu Houzhao only pulled Fang Jifan's sleeve and pulled Fang Jifan's sleeve and flipped it over.

Fang Jifan was angry and whispered: "What are you looking for? I don't have money."

Zhu Houzhao pouted and muttered: "I have seen a lot of them just now."

"I am a person with a conscience, and I gave it to the old man." Fang Jifan said straightforwardly: "It's gone now."

Zhu Houzhao looked resentful: "I am even worse than the old man, and I still owe debts."

"Hou Zhao, Ji Fan."

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing the call from His Majesty, Zhu Houzhao quickly stopped, and cheered up with Fang Jifan at the same time, and hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said in a deep voice: "From the voice of the Jiang Mansion manager, this person... I think he knows the inside story. It will be useful to record this person at that time."

Fang Jifan naturally understood what Emperor Hongzhi said, and just said, "When will we do it?"

Zhu Houzhao also seemed very excited: "It's better for me to go now..."

"No hurry." Emperor Hongzhi's face was expressionless.

What he tasted was betrayal.

You can be incompetent, pedantic, or even talk nonsense, but you cannot betray and you cannot regard the emperor as a fool.

Emperor Hongzhi looked ahead with a long gaze and said slowly: "This matter is not just a person, so there is no need to alarm the snake."

Fang Jifan was used to it and said casually: "Your Majesty is really clear..."

"Stop." Emperor Hongzhi withdrew his gaze and fell on Fang Jifan, scolding: "From the beginning to the end, I am the stupidest one... I'm so lucky that you still said such words."

Fang Jifan kicked the iron plate and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He smiled: "The emperors from ancient times thought they were smart, so they were stubborn. Your Majesty regarded themselves as stupid and examined themselves from time to time. This made me admire him very much. My minister thought to myself, if you are smart, who can be as good as Zhuge Kongming? Zhuge Kongming is wise and close to monsters in jokes. However, people have their own shortcomings, and there will always be mistakes. The stupid monarch is stupid and unaware of it. A wise monarch will be complacent if he has some achievements. Only Your Majesty, who has achieved literary and military virtues, can still reflect on himself. This is the most admirable thing about Your Majesty. Your Majesty must learn more from Your Majesty."

Xiao Jing, who had been following quietly, thrust his face.

He was quite happy when he heard Emperor Hongzhi scolding Fang Jifan. Look, he was in trouble.

But now when he heard what Fang Jifan said, although he was weak in his heart for favor, his heart still felt a little sad. Damn, Fang Jifan not only wins in his quick wisdom, but also in his thick skin. We are really worse than that.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

What else can I say?

Emperor Hongzhi sighed bitterly: "I want to know how many people are like Jiang Yan. So..."

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan deeply before continuing: "Xishan Money House, we must check the accounts carefully. Among the high-ranking officials and nobles, how many people secretly invested money? This is the business of the money house. We must have some evidence and must not make any omissions."

Fang Jifan nodded quickly and replied, "My son understand."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed, "In the palace, I don't want to go back. In that palace, I am really like a blind man and deaf man, blinded by others everywhere. I... suddenly want to drink."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up immediately and she said enthusiastically: "It's good to drink, father, son minister..."'

Fang Jifan immediately interrupted, "Your Majesty, don't listen to the prince's nonsense. Neither the prince likes to drink, but if the father wants to drink, I will think of a solution."

…………

There is some wine in the West Mountain.

After all, the military farm station is located here, and countless grains from the experimental fields are piled up like mountains, a considerable part of which is used to make wine.

Wen Yansheng is idle every day and occasionally thinks about making wine.

Therefore, when he brought a jar of wine from the cellar, Emperor Hongzhi saw that he was familiar with him, thought for a while, and couldn't help but say, "But the former prefect of Ningbo, Wen Yansheng."

After Wen Yansheng bowed, he smiled and said, "It's the grass people."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Wen Yansheng strangely: "You were originally a court official, why are you willing to live in a mere cook here?"

Wen Yansheng glanced deeply at Emperor Hongzhi.

He acted calmly.

After all... If a person loses interest in fame, fortune and wealth, he will naturally have no desires or demands. If he does not want to be strong, he will therefore not be too excited or panic even when he sees the emperor.

Wen Yansheng said: "Because... is free."

"Free..." Emperor Hongzhi said these two words and showed a confused look.

Wen Yansheng smiled and said, "In this world, everyone wants to seek fame and fortune. It can be said that thousands of troops have crossed the single-plank bridge. In order to have a place in the temple, they have hollowed out their minds. Every day is like a fire burning their hearts. What are the benefits of such a day? But the people in the world are different. People in the world don't want to be a cook. They can be said to be away from the things about this kitchen. All the talents in the world have become officials. The people in the world are not talented and cannot compare with these talents. Instead of trying to become an official, it is better to be a chef comfortably. What's wrong with this...?"

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned, as if... he felt that there was some reason.

At least, Wen Yansheng in front of him had a rich face and looked very moist.

Although I am the emperor, my hair is prematurely born...

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said, "Your words make sense, but unfortunately... I inherited the foundation of my ancestors and wanted to be a chef and do something I like, but I am afraid I won't be able to do what I want. Come... I will sit down and you can drink with me."

Then, Emperor Hongzhi glared at Zhu Houzhao who was sitting aside: "Sit away."

Zhu Houzhao was originally happy.

He likes Wen Yansheng because Wen Yansheng can do what he likes. It’s just like he wants to be a general, or a top spinner, or a doctor, or even a scientist who turns a blind eye to things outside the window. It’s a pity... he can’t do it.

It’s okay to let your father listen to Mr. Wen’s words more.

Maybe he would be willing to let him do what he likes.

Who would have expected...

Under the gaze of Emperor Hongzhi, he had to sit down obediently and give his position to Wen Yansheng.

Wen Yansheng was not afraid of these red tape and looked very comfortable. He sat beside Emperor Hongzhi and smiled gently: "Your Majesty, this is the wine brewed by the grass people. It uses distillation method. All the grains used are produced in the test fields of the military farm... This wine is extraordinary and has a very spicy taste, so I am afraid that Your Majesty will not get used to it after drinking it."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly: "Isn't it too wasteful to use such good food to make wine?"
