Emperor Hongzhi seemed tired and set off for a trip to return to the palace.

Fang Jifan was ordered and had to follow him.

Zhu Houzhao and others still need to clean up the end of the school.

Fang Jifan followed the throne for a few steps, and was worried. He turned around and pulled Zhu Houzhao and whispered: "Your Highness, I will go back and I will not kill you indiscriminately. Although he is a traitor, he is still labor. The most lacking in Golden Continent is such a talent. They are all young and have a large population... Be careful to take it in custody, and wait for me to come back to deal with it. They can be sent on the boat in the future. I will treat you to a good meal."

Zhu Houzhao raised her eyebrows and sniffled in a vague way and said, "I want to eat thirty meals."

Fang Jifan: "..."

Is this considered taking advantage of the situation?

All the ministers were frightened and wanted to return home. Some of them were still in shock and had no intention of controlling the treasury, the money and food of the permanent army, and the problems caused by this rebellion. So they passed by one after another. Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan whispered, and even if it reached their ears, they found that they didn't understand it very much.

In this world, no matter what era, human resources are precious, especially the Ming Dynasty is now in its pioneering period.

Golden Continent requires a lot of manpower. Before Fang Jifan suppressed the rebellion, he had already thought of these rebels and their families.

Are you afraid that these people will have trouble in the future?

After all, it was a rebellion and the crime was unforgivable. He was sent to the Golden Island and was also a slave.

Fang Jifan was not worried at all that these people would make any tricks after they arrived in the Golden Continent. If they were placed in other feudal states, the princes would not dare to take them in.

But Fang Jifan is not afraid.

The Great Qi and the Great Lu Kingdom not only set aside hundreds of miles of land, but also occupied the most important position in the Great Lakes. Of course, this is not important. What is important is that because the land is fertile, it also accommodates a large number of people. In addition, in recent years, Fang Jifan's persistent migration population, a large number of craftsmen, soldiers, Confucian scholars, and criminals were sent. Of course... it is essential that all the people with the surname Fang in the world were sent away. Among the fiefdoms of the Fang family, there were more than half of those with the surname Fang.

They are all family members, and with them, they have become the most backbone of the fiefdoms. These criminals were sent to them and sent to others as slaves and broken into pieces. Who dares to rebel?

Fang Jifan promised not to do it himself, and that anyone with the surname Fang could drown them if they spit out.

A family is a family, a family, a family comes from an ancestor, and there will be no mistakes when it comes to blood.

Fang Jifan hurriedly gave a few instructions. Seeing that the emperor was about to go far away, he was afraid that the emperor would be furious, so he did not dare to delay any longer and hurriedly chased after him.

Emperor Hongzhi returned to the palace and went directly to Chongwen Hall. Here, it seemed quieter. Emperor Hongzhi sat down immediately, Xiao Jing poured tea for him. Emperor Hongzhi nodded, waved his hand gently, and signaled that Xiao Jing also retreated.

Xiao Jing hesitated a little.

His Majesty was very strange today. He only called Fang Jifan to come, but he didn't know what this meant?

Xiao Jing nodded tactfully, saluted and silently quit.

So here, except Emperor Hongzhi, there was only Fang Jifan, which made Fang Jifan who entered the hall seem very uncomfortable.

Emperor Hongzhi was not anxious or impatient, and said calmly: "Sit."

Fang Jifan said: "Thank you for your grace."

As he said that, he bowed and sat down.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "What does the prince... Jifan think?"

Fang Jifan's ears were already calling out when he heard this.

Fang Jifan coughed and said casually: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is very talented, has a high talent, and is filial to commend..."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly and couldn't help but say, "What I want to listen to is the truth."

Fang Jifan raised his head and looked at Emperor Hongzhi with sincere face, saying, "Your Majesty, what the Crown Prince said...is the truth!"

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled bitterly: "I know you are close to him and are as close as brothers."

Fang Jifan immediately shook his head: "Your Majesty, I am aware of a person, regardless of his closeness or alienation. For example, I dare to say that his eldest disciple Ouyang Zhi is a fool, and his grandson Liu Jin is a doggyman!"

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a moment, and finally spoke again: "Do you think... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be a good emperor in the future?"

His Majesty suddenly asked this question, which made Fang Jifan's heart skip. He seemed to hear some implicit meaning, so he suddenly looked up at Emperor Hongzhi and felt confused, because even Fang Jifan himself didn't know whether he should be happy or worried.

He took a deep breath and said calmly: "Then you have to look at how the emperor is defined. The good or bad of the emperor is constantly changing for future generations."

"Oh?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan. He seemed to think that Fang Jifan would always make some amazing words.

"Just talk about Emperor Wu of Han." Fang Jifan paused and said, "The Emperor Wu of Han attacked the Xiongnu and promoted famous generals like Wei Huo, and drove them to be like steering eagles and stews. The Han army fought in Gaolan and plowed the Longji in the court. Even the Chinese border was prosperous, and the barbarians were weak. The ministers from all directions, heard the name of Han Wu, were trembling. But... Is the evaluation of Emperor Wu of Han still unchanged? My son has read some history and learned some poetry, but he has found that if it is peaceful in the Central Plains, the people will be at peace.

He lived and worked hard, so the Confucians belittled Han Wu, saying that he was arrogant and extravagant, and even said that he was tired of the Middle Earth and served the border soldiers. He had no time to give him a day and lived a bored life. People regarded him as a tyrant who abused the people. But in the troubled times, the Hu people began to invade the border, the world began to be uneasy, and the people began to be restless. At that time, people were panic and the people were frightened. When our Chinese people became two-legged sheep, people began to miss the achievements of Han Wu, saying that he was always in charge of heroes, steering heroes, shaking all the barbarians, and expanding the territory!”

"Your Majesty, look, the same Emperor Wu of Han, the same deeds, and the same descendants, when talking about Emperor Wu of Han, they either gritted their teeth or highly praised him. So how dare you ask, is Emperor Wu of Han, wise or not?"

Emperor Hongzhi was silent. He pursed his lips and frowned slightly, as if he was seriously considering Fang Jifan's words.

"People are all cheap bones." Fang Jifan said, "It's all forgotten. When they were stable, they felt that people like Emperor Wu of Han were hindering them. But once the world collapsed, foreign races invaded the doors and settled. At that time, they began to remember the emperor like Emperor Wu of Han. Whether the emperor was wise or not, the people later had their own comments. As for their good or bad words, why should people in the world be concerned? My son was thinking, what your majesty might have to ask is whether the prince is suitable for the successor to the throne. If Your Majesty asked this, my son's answer was very simple. Today, it was time to seek new things and change, and he would not turn back and change.

If he is unchanged, he will die. His Highness the Crown Prince advocates new learning and implements new policies. His achievements are obvious to all. He builds a new army, kills rebels, and intimidates the four barbarians. This is also well known to everyone. He personally advocates science and makes all industries prosperous. Is this not enough to prove His Highness the ability of His Highness? His Highness has grown up long ago, and he has his thoughts and ideas. Maybe... the world he wants to create is different from the world His Majesty thinks, but what does it have to do? As long as the people can live and work in peace and contentment, as long as there is no one invasion on the border, then... His Highness the Crown Prince will be a qualified emperor in the future."

"My son is asking for the guarantee of the whole family. If His Highness succeeds to the Grand Priest, he will definitely be foolproof."

Emperor Hongzhi fell into thought after listening to Fang Jifan's words.

As Fang Jifan said, what his son thought... Even Emperor Hongzhi couldn't understand.

The appearance of the prince appeared in Emperor Hongzhi's mind, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm. He might have thought of the well-behaved child, or the young man who gradually became rebellious, and the young man who always had amazing words...

"He is my flesh and blood. I should have known him best, but in fact..." Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and said, "I am not as good as you."

Fang Jifan said modestly: "Your Majesty, I am very ashamed. In fact, I don't know much, and I often can't keep up with your highness."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "What I trust most is you. Since you dare to use your whole family as a guarantee, then... I will be relieved."

Fang Jifan was stunned and immediately said, "Your Majesty, this... this... is just a metaphor, and it may not be possible to make a number. The son minister... the son minister means... the son minister..."

This topic has a headache... Fang Jifan tried hard to hold his head...

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Okay, don't hold your brain anymore. Will I not know if your brain hurts?"

Fang Jifan looked ashamed: "Your Majesty is wise and he is very clear and can see through my son's intentions at a glance. My son's mere trick is nothing more than the light of fireflies in front of His master's master. He competes with the bright moon. No, my son has no intention of competing for brightness. Your Majesty is the light of the sun and the moon. My son... My son is impressed and convinced."

Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head and sipped the tea. He had long been used to this. Emperor Hongzhi and Fang Jifan had finished nagging, and then said, "Jifan, it seems... if the prince ascended the throne, I can rest assured, right?"

This sentence is calm but very serious.

So much so that Fang Jifan couldn't help but look at Emperor Hongzhi in surprise: "Your Majesty... your body..."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "There is no big problem in my body. It's just... I'm old and have poor energy. This rebellion has made me feel scared. I... I'm not a wise and wise emperor after all, otherwise... wouldn't I be so unaware of it? So... I... want to pass the throne of the crown prince... and let the crown prince ascend the throne, what do you think?"
