Fang Jifan had no choice but to sigh.

As for what these people think, it seems...it has nothing to do with me.

Whatever you love!

The next day, Emperor Hongzhi summoned Fang Jifan to meet him.

Fang Jifan knew that His Majesty's summons must have a different meaning.

So he sorted out his clothes and set off quickly.

But when I arrived at the Meridian Gate, outside the Meridian Gate, I saw Zhu Houzhao also with a depressed look on her face.

He looked bad and looked extremely tired. When he saw Fang Jifan, he just said hello lazyly.

"Your Highness... is sick?" Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao with concern, looking worried.

As a good brother, Fang Jifan still cares about Zhu Houzhao very much.

Zhu Houzhao shook her head weakly: "I am sick but I am not sick, but Tianci is too harsh and always cry, from morning to night..."

Without saying a word, Fang Jifan took out a handful of money from his sleeve and stuffed it into Zhu Houzhao's hand: "Your Highness... I'm worried..."

Zhu Houzhao: "..."

To be honest... Zhu Houzhao is not someone who has seen Yinzi.

But... I will get money if I don't agree... Well, this is really... it really suits his appetite.

He packed the money without hesitation, and suddenly felt that his fatigue was wiped out, and his whole body became energetic, just as if the tired person had never existed.

But at this moment, Liu Jian and others also arrived.

In the Meridian Gate, Xiao Jing walked out quickly and looked stern: "Your Majesty has an order, please ask all the Dukes to come to Fengtian Palace to meet."

The people said long live.

But this time, Xiao Jing suddenly came to read the oral order, which was a bit unusual.

What's more, the summoned this time was not only the prince and the cabinet dukes, but also the six ministers of the ministers. In addition, there were also the British dukes and other great ministers.

Everyone's thoughts followed by Fengtian Palace.

Then he saw Emperor Hongzhi coughing in the hall... and then he looked up: "Are you here?"

Fang Jifan immediately said, "Is Your Majesty in good health?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan gently. Although Fang Jifan seemed unruly, he was still very concerned about himself. He waved his hand and said, "It's nothing big. It's just that he is old. The small disease he used to have now... let's discuss things first."

As he said that, he looked at Liu Jian: "Where is Wang Shouren, the Minister of War?"

The new Minister of War Wang Shouren came out of office: "I am here."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at him and said, "How is the rules for the regular army drafted?"

"Your Majesty, you need to slow down." Wang Shouren said seriously: "It is a major event for the standing army, but... it cannot be urgent. Now the First Army has still discovered many problems, so the expansion matters still need to find problems and prescribe the right medicine before the right medicine is taken. What I am planning now is not the expansion of the regulations, but the review memorial, which will be submitted to the palace in two days."

The First Army has been eye-opening and has reached a consensus between the government and the outside world. Everyone takes it for granted that replacing the garrison has become an urgent task.

The shadow that Weizhou Wei gave to the monarch and ministers is still there.

As a result... Now that Your Majesty has entrusted Wang Shouren with the important task, he thought that Wang Shouren would advance rapidly, but who knows... Wang Shouren is not in a hurry.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but look at Liu Jian in silence.

Liu Jian stepped forward: "Your Majesty, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food. The Ministry of War slowly guides it, it is nothing to do."

This is indeed true. Emperor Hongzhi nodded and sighed, "I still heard... Now, are there anyone sympathizing with the gentry of Jiangnan?"

This sudden inquiry surprised Liu Jian and others. Liu Jian frowned: "I wonder why Your Majesty said this?"

Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "A group of scholars made a big fuss in Huguang, saying that it was anger between man and gods. The local governor had already suppressed the matter, but it was the Jinyiwei who reported to the imperial court."

The problem in Jiangnan was solved, but other places were saddened by the death of rabbits and foxes. This time, the plunge in land prices was caused by the plunge in the north and south. The gentry in other places had a difficult life and began to sell land one after another. Now... although most people dare not speak out, some people want to cause trouble.

In the local area, I know that Your Majesty’s intention has been decided and cannot be changed, so I will try my best to suppress the situation.

But it is natural that such anger spreads.

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "Yang Ai, the envoy of Bozhou Xuanwei, wrote a letter to express his grievances. Haven't you seen these memorials?"

Bozhou Yang Family!

This is not an ordinary person.

As early as the Tang Dynasty, a family migrated to Bozhou, and then they grew up there. They continued to annex the land and became the largest local tyrant. At the same time, because Bozhou is in the southwest and the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, although they are Han people, they continue to expand. The children of the clan trained into an army. After the war after the Tang Dynasty, they expanded their strength. By the time of the Song Dynasty, the Yang family surrendered to the Song Dynasty and still appointed the children of the Yang family as local civil and military officials. In fact, they established Bozhou into a country among the country.

Given their strength, they even resisted the attacks of the Mongols during the Southern Song Dynasty and even defeated the Mongols. After the Mongols destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, they were quite afraid of them and still recognized his semi-independent status, gave them the official position of pacification envoy, and even gave their family leader Yang Sain Buhua.

The Ming Dynasty unified the world and followed the Yuan system. The Yang family of Bozhou was hereditary and became the Xuanwei envoy of Bozhou. The Yang family owned countless lands in the Bozhou area and formed an army in the form of militia. It can be said that they were the largest gentry in the southwest region.

The Yang clan has a large population. Since it has land and hereditary official positions, the Yang clan in Bozhou has reached a population of 100,000. Some of them serve their families in Bozhou, and some enter the imperial examination and have a great influence.

Of course, Yang also knew the truth that his family had great achievements, so he has always been low-key and never easily wrote a letter to talk about any government affairs. In the Ming Dynasty, they seemed to be air and did not exist.

But this time, it seemed that he was annoyed by the local emperor from Bozhou. He directly wrote a letter to denounce the court's ruthlessness towards the gentry in Jiangnan, and said that the gentry was the foundation of the country. Of course, he even described the tragic situation of the gentry's family migrating with tears.

Liu Jian and others were silent all the same.

They don’t want to pay attention to these people in Bozhou.

In fact, they have read the memorials. It is understandable that the Yang family in Bozhou has such a strong reaction. After all,... they own a lot of land, but they are in the southwest part of Yunnan and Guizhou. After thousands of years of accumulation, they own countless lands, and more importantly... they have soldiers in their hands.

The army of Bozhou was a tradition that began in the Tang Dynasty. This army once annexed nearby land in the name of the Tang Dynasty, followed the orders of the Song Dynasty to resist the Mongols, and was also the backbone of the Yuan Dynasty's guarding the southwest.

Their words... must be taken seriously.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed unhappy.

The Yang family of Bozhou... The court has been extremely tolerant of them. Even if they change their territory and return to the current state, given that they are Han people, they have not affected them.

Now it's good... The migrant gentry was the emperor's order. What is their purpose for writing a letter now?

There is actually a routine for dealing with such things. Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty, this matter... Just keep it and don't post it. I will order a censor to go to Bozhou to find out the truth..."

But now it is different from before. Emperor Hongzhi seemed dissatisfied and looked at Prince Zhu Houzhao and said, "What do you think the prince?"

So many people couldn't help looking at Zhu Houzhao.

His Majesty actually asked the prince directly for such a big matter.

It seems... there is some intention.

Li Dongyang seemed to notice something and thoughtful.

Zhu Houzhao heard his father ask him at this time and cheered up: "The court should immediately issue an order to denounce the Yang family of Bozhou. Is it a small comfort envoy who can talk too much? As far as my son knows, the Yang family occupied countless lands, and in Bozhou, he was in charge of military, horses and money and grain. It can be said to be a country in the country. If the court tolerate them, it will inevitably make them despise the court. Therefore, the court not only needs to reprimand, but also prepare a military horse, so that it can enter Bozhou at any time. If they surrender obediently, it would be fine. If they act boldly, the prepared military horses will immediately enter Bozhou and arrest them."

This is a direct and rough approach!

Liu Jian and others looked surprised.

The prince is so...just.

Emperor Hongzhi thought something, as if even he thought the prince was a little too strong. He coughed, but looked at Liu Jian and others with a deep sense: "What do you think?"

Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty, I dare not discuss it. Yang just submitted a memorial."

Xie Qian couldn't help but say: "The migrating gentry has indeed caused a lot of complaints. If the way of speech is blocked, it may not be a good thing. The Yang family in Bozhou has no serious crime. If it is just for this, it is inappropriate to make a big move."

There are many ministers in this palace who oppose the crown prince.

Fortunately, Wang Shouren and Ouyang Zhi did not speak, one was silent and the other had no expression on his face.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and then said, "Everyone thinks the words of the prince are inappropriate?"

"Your Majesty!" Fang Jifan couldn't hold it in and stepped forward and said, "It was Your Majesty's will. It was a great event that benefited the country and the people. Your Majesty was also in Jiangnan at that time. He knew very well that this action had great benefits to countless people. It was good governance. Since this was already good governance, the court should have a position. The Yang family of Bozhou wrote this letter to incite public discussions to criticize the impersonation of migration and protect their own interests as real. If you indulge such people and talk nonsense, then... what is the face of the court? What the prince said... My son agrees deeply. Before doing something, the court can discuss and discuss it, but since it has already done it, he is still chatting here. What is the intention here? The prince is wise, and my son is convinced."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jian and then Fang Jifan.
