What Fang Jifan admired the most was Zhu Houzhao's courage.

He dares to do things that others dare not do.

He took the blame without hesitation when others dared not take the blame.

It's really amazing.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Make it now?"

Fang Jifan shook his head: "No, we have to follow the rules of the state and abide by the law first. I will first write a memorial."

…………

The Minister of War Ma Wensheng suddenly wanted to send a scholar.

Life...it's really impossible to live.

When Jiaozhi rebelled, His Majesty ordered the Ministry of War to prescribe a charter, but Jiaozhi was thousands of miles away. What could he have?

Faced with Your Majesty's dislike and the doubts of the court's officials, Ma Wensheng felt more and more that there must be a broom star beside him. Who is this broom star?

He always looked at the people around him with suspicious and picky eyes.

This morning, someone suddenly came from the palace to let him meet.

Ma Wensheng did not dare to be negligent, so he hurried to the Wumen Gate, then entered the palace, and when he arrived at the warm pavilion, he saw His Majesty brows deeply and was still asking about Jiaozhi: "Is there no news about Jiaozhi yet?"

Liu Jian shook his head, Liu Jian was also worried about the affairs of the Jiaozhi Governor General: "Your Majesty, there is no news yet."

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Liu Jian and said, "I heard that there are many rumors inside and outside the court and the country. I believe that the court and Jiaozhi are suspected of being very happy with merit, right?"

"This..." Liu Jian was ashamed. He thought for a while: "It's such a discussion, but Your Majesty, this is not worth worrying."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Actually, it's no wonder they are. If they are safe and sound, people will naturally praise it as expanding territory and promoting civil and military achievements. But now something has happened, which makes the court frustrated, and people naturally think that this is a waste of money and is very happy about merit. It is better to reset Annan and send envoys to the palace. I haven't had a good sleep these days, and I am thinking about this. Why does Jiaozhi always rebel? If it's because of corrupt officials, I can

If the people are not covered in clothes, the court will always have a way to help. But now... is the most terrible. Now, although there are corrupt officials and evil officials, it will not be too bad. Although the people are in trouble, they are not enough to eat. But they still rebelled. Then, those people inside and outside the court, the people, were not wrong. This is indeed my fault, which led to the court using troops and spending countless money and food, and in the end... it was like this... "

Liu Jian hurriedly said, "Your Majesty must not blame yourself like this."

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to figure it out: "I have been thinking about this for the past few days. In fact, Liu Qing's family, you don't have to comfort me. I know that I am not a wise emperor, and even my qualifications are far less than those of my ancestors. At that time, Emperor Wu of Han was a military force. Although he had military achievements, he made the people difficult for him. In his later years, he was in the next round of Taiwan's imperial edict to blame himself. I was wondering whether I had repeated the mistakes of Emperor Wu of Han."

He thought to himself: "Now, the national treasury is empty, but for Jiaozhi, there is still a need to dispatch troops and generals, and countless money and grains are all the blood and sweat of the people. Even if the rebellion is suppressed, will they rebel again in three to five years? Now it is a good year, and we still have to rebel. One day, if we encounter natural disasters, we are afraid that the rebellion will become more intense."

"The Jiaozhi people don't accept our Ming Dynasty and refuse to submit to me."

Emperor Hongzhi seemed depressed.

He seemed a little resentful, silent for a long time, and exposed his inner thoughts: "Regaining Jiaozhi is a rare achievement, and not to mention that I have ordered Britain to announce the sacrifice of my ancestors three times."

“…”

Liu Jian and others...speakless.

This is of course His Majesty's little thought.

Your Majesty is very simple and diligent. In this life, he actually has no other hobbies, but he just wants to be a saint.

But why is the Holy Lord so easy? The civil rule is still barely enough, and his martial arts... At that time, the land of Hexi was lost in the hands of His Majesty. After finally annexing Jiaozhi, His Majesty was extremely happy and issued many edicts, all of which were to treat the people of Jiaozhi well, and also required these edicts to be copied and reported.

On the surface, these edicts were for the people of Jiaozhi, but in fact... this is to tell the world that everyone can see you. I have taken Jiaozhi and I have done what Emperor Wen did not do.

For this purpose, I also wrote many sacrificial texts and sent the British Duke to Nanjing to recite the sacrifice to Emperor Taizu Gao. I went to Fengyang, Zhongdu, and went to Fengyang to worship the sacrificial tomb. Finally, I returned to the capital and sacrificed the sacrifice to Emperor Taizu Gao and other emperors.

The British Duke was in a dusty state and spent three months traveling all over the world, traveling thousands of miles back and forth, and preparing rituals for sacrifices, bathing and changing clothes...

But now, I have told my ancestors that if I give up on the Tao Jiaozhi, if I die in the future and reach the bottom of the nine springs, my ancestors ask, what about Jiaozhi?

Emperor Hongzhi looked resentful, and now he realized that Jiaozhi was a pit, a pit.

He took a deep breath, and did not continue to speak, but raised his eyes and looked at Ma Wensheng coming in, his face calmed down a little: "Oh, Ma Qing family, you are here, how are you preparing for the fight against the rebellion?"

Ma Wensheng lowered his eyebrows and said with pleasure: "The troops and horses are moving forward before they move, and now the Ministry of Revenue is still calculating money and grain."

Emperor Hongzhi's face was pulled down: "The people's changes are like fire, how can they allow such slacking off?"

Ma Wensheng came here just because he was ready to be scolded. He knelt down obediently and said honestly: "I will die."

Emperor Hongzhi's face calmed down: "Today, the prince-in-law Fang Jifan wrote a letter saying that he had obtained a magic weapon. If the Craft Bureau was ordered to supervise the construction of the Jiaozhi people, he would have twice the result with half the effort. Jifan was a capable person. He said that this was a magic weapon, then... I think this thing must be extraordinary. He also specially drew drawings and wrote in detail the process of manufacturing. The Qing family is the Minister of War, the Supervisor of the Construction of Arms, which is the responsibility of the Qing family. Later, you have obtained the drawings and the essence of manufacturing. Go to the Craft Bureau immediately, summon craftsmen, and inherit these magic weapons. No mistakes should be made."

When Ma Wensheng heard this, he felt hope ignited in his heart. Although Fang Jifan was not kind-hearted, he said with a conscience that he was a bit unethical. But what he had made was still very useful. If it was really a magic weapon, it would be great. He hurriedly said, "I obey the order."

Emperor Hongzhi was in a bad mood and waved his hand: "Your side back."

All the ministers sued.

Emperor Hongzhi leaned alone on the cushion. He frowned, his face full of disbelief and his thoughts...

"Ouyang Qing's family..."

Ouyang Zhi stood silently and remained silent for a moment: "I am here."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Now, the people of Jiaozhi have changed their minds. I have tried my best to educate their scholars and people and want the world to return to their hearts. But what... Your family has seen it, I am wondering whether I am strong and powerful? Even Emperor Wu of Han can know his mistakes. Next, I will give the imperial edict to blame himself. I... want to give the subjects of the world an explanation. I am wondering if I also issued an edict to punish him..."

Ouyang Zhi thought for a while: "It is impossible to correct mistakes when you know them, but it is better."

"It means, you also think that I should be guilty of myself?"

Ouyang Zhi was silent for a moment: "Improper."

"Um?"

Ouyang Zhi said: "It was the arrangement of the prince and his mentor when he entered Jiaozhi. It can be said that they were good at making arguments. Even if there was a mistake, it was the mistake of His Highness and his mentor. It was just that my ministers thought that His Highness should not make mistakes, otherwise, how would the people in the world view His Highness?"

Ouyang Zhi is more sophisticated than before.

Although he was a little slower and he used dial-up to surf the Internet, he was more experienced in the affairs of the court and had many unique insights.

After all, as a Hanlin, almost all documents need to be read by him. He also needs to browse all the memorials of the cabinet ministers. The emperor's edicts were often copied by him. He knew the operation of the entire court. How to deal with many specific matters and what interests involved were involved were gradually learned through his continuous learning and comments with the emperor.

For example, this time, Your Majesty wants to blame himself.

But Ouyang Zhi opposed it. The reason for opposition was very simple. The emperor could blame himself, but the prince could not. The prince was not the emperor and had no authority. He would have to succeed the throne in the future. If he was still the prince, the prince's mistake would be revealed. Will it make the world doubt?

Therefore, the annexation of Jiaozhi cannot admit mistakes when he is beaten to death. Once he admits his mistakes, it may arouse the ambitions of some people who covet the imperial power.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Ouyang Zhi deeply: "What you said may make sense..."

He did not continue: "I want to ask why the people in Jiaozhi cannot be educated. Is the original King Annan really what they miss?"

Ouyang Zhi thought for a moment: "Xishan College has always believed that as long as the people can eat a full meal, not hungry, and not bullied, they will naturally praise the emperor. However... for the old nobles and gentry, this is different, because when Annan was in the country, they were inseparable from the King of Annan. Now that the Ming Dynasty ruled them, their interests were damaged, so they were naturally dissatisfied. It would be useless to rely solely on education."

Emperor Hongzhi thought: "Then give them a generous gift, just like when Annan was in the past, give them privileges and benefits?"

"This is not possible. Once they are given enough privileges and benefits, they will inevitably bully the people. The people will definitely not eat or cover their bodies. They may not resent these people, but will only resent the Ming court."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled bitterly: "It's really hard to achieve both things."

……………………

At the same time, an urgent report has arrived in Guiyang.

Fang Jinglong, the Pingxi Hou, was ready to dispatch troops and soldiers, and immediately went to Jiaozhi to suppress the civil war.

He has not had a good sleep these two days, but this urgent report made Fang Jinglong's eyes fall off.

"Husband, what's wrong?" Liu's military uniforms have also transferred many young tribe members to join the army, preparing to follow her husband to quell the rebellion.

Under this military uniform, she looks even more heroic.

It can be seen that Fang Jinglong looked confused, and Liushi couldn't help but feel strange.
