Warm Pavilion.

The rain outside is like a curtain of water.

Emperor Hongzhi took his hand and waited anxiously.

These two guys, haven't come yet?

The roots of Emperor Hongji's angry teeth itched.

But when he stopped again, he couldn't help but be a little worried, such a heavy rain, so much water on the ground, calling them into the palace at this time, is it too embarrassing for them, won't ...... Something happened.

He sat down, and the eunuchs had already reported the situation from the East Palace.

Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao must have entered the palace in a car, and after arriving at the noon gate, they had to walk. And the eunuch who spies on the situation is Pegasus to the Forbidden City, and then trots into the palace.

So, they're a little bit faster.

Seeing that a little eunuch was wet, he entered the cabinet with a cold trembling and said, "Your Majesty, the slave and maid have a play." ”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly.

The crown prince and Fang Jifan, entering the palace like this, wouldn't they also be drenched in soup, are they extra gracious and allowed to enter the palace in a car.

After all, they ...... It's still a child, when it's growing up.

But this thought, in the blink of an eye, disappeared.

Cannot! Can't get used to them.

Fang Jifan's protégé, who took the second-class jinshi exam, was beaten to death, and begged for rain? Just give such a big attention? In the past, because this prince was too spoiled, he was arrogant and domineering, and he caused trouble all day long, which is all habitual!

So, he calmed down and glanced at Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Xiao Jing and Mu Bin, who were kneeling left and right.

The five of them were silent, a little dazed.

People at their level obviously don't think that Da Ming really has the help of immortals, if there are really immortals in this world, how could the first emperor refine the immortal medicine for so many years, and still die? If someone can really call the wind and rain, then what do they have to do? Inviting someone to call for wind and rain will not bring peace to the country and the people?

But the facts are right in front of you.

Is there really such a coincidence in the world?

Therefore, everyone looked at the eunuch who came to make a report.

"Say!"

Emperor Hongji said eagerly.

"The Taoist who begs for rain is called Li Chaowen, and he is the nephew of Fang Jifan'......"

Emperor Hongzhi knew about this in advance, but this Taoist named Li Chaowen, Emperor Hongzhi had long forgotten about it.

"At noon, although it was Li Daoren's practice, the rain still did not fall, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly cried loudly......"

Emperor Hongji stiffened his face.

This is too much in line with the image of his son, but I don't know what he is doing.

The little eunuch continued: "His Royal Highness the Prince, grief and death, said that God is unkind, the people are miserable, as the prince, he is like sitting on pins and needles, he is in pain, if God wants to punish the Ming Dynasty, His Royal Highness the Prince is willing to thank God for death, only ask God to rain and save the army and people." At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really wanted to die, but fortunately, Xinjian Bo desperately stopped him...... After that, nectar fell from the sky, and everyone in the Zhan Mansion sighed, everyone cried, and after a blink of an eye, the rain poured down......"

Syllable......

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly rose up, and this time, even he had lost his temper.

He slapped the imperial case fiercely, stood up, and stared at the eunuch deadly: "Is this really the case?" ”

"It's true, the news is ...... Word has spread. ”

Emperor Hongzhi looked up and looked at Fang Liang.

His eyes were red, and his lips were trembling.

Liu Jian and the others gasped.

And Xiao Jing and Mu Bin glanced at each other, and seemed to know something in their hearts, revealing ecstasy.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are wise.

In today's world, compared to the past, His Majesty's thoughts, as the first eunuch in the palace, how can Xiao Jing not see through it?

In all dynasties, the prince is working hard, he must be virtuous, but he can not be virtuous, between the monarch and the minister, father and son, although there is flesh and blood, but there is also mutual vigilance and vigilance.

But only in the Hongzhi Dynasty, these did not exist at all.

Today's emperor has only one son, the crown prince.

Today's emperor not only has a son of the crown prince, but puts all his expectations on His Royal Highness the crown prince.

In today's emperor's life, he has only one wife, not even a concubine. With such a love for licking calves, it is conceivable that his sense of responsibility to his family is far greater than that of any emperor.

Therefore, at any time, the emperor may be afraid that the crown prince is too full-fledged, and he is afraid that his subjects are too fond of the prince.

But today, His Majesty only hates that his subjects don't love the prince enough, and he hates that His Royal Highness the prince is not virtuous enough.

This time the crying, this time the search for death and life, in an instant, the credit for this rain fell on the prince, not a Taoist.

The crown prince shares the emperor's worries, which is filial piety.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could not bear the suffering of the people from drought, which is wise.

Just an hour ago, the people were fanned by others, showing their dissatisfaction with the imperial court, and now, once this matter spreads, not only the image of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loving the people has been established, but also the deeds of the son of heaven being favored by the heavens have spread to Unai.

All the gossip and all the rumors are only in an instant, and they are self-defeating.

How could Emperor Hongzhi not be excited.

"Your Highness's benevolence has come to this, and if your subjects know it, they will all praise and congratulate Your Majesty." Xiao Jing worshipped, you see, a heavy rain, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan happily took the whole bowl of credit, but Xiao Jing also wanted to take a sip of soup.

Mu Bin didn't dare to hesitate: "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

Liu Jian and the others were smiling happily, His Royal Highness the Prince, it is really becoming more and more enlightened.

Of course, Wenchen and Changwei's interpretations are different.

Liu Jian, Xie Qian and Li Dongyang paid more attention to the performance of the prince, originally, this was a private prayer for rain, to be honest, the hundred officials were pinching their noses and walking around the road.

But now it seems that this is no longer a pure prayer for rain.

This prayer for rain is more like accusing the heavens of sin.

In the name of the crown prince, admit his negligence to the heavens, and then, all parties are guilty, the sin is bowing, please God only punish himself.

A very standard template for sinful self, a textbook model.

Then, this has a new understanding of Liu Jian and others.

Girls who can laugh are not too lucky.

Ah, no, for the ministers, the emperor and the prince who know how to admit their mistakes and sin themselves are not too bad.

Liu Jian looked at Emperor Hongzhi excitedly.

Emperor Hongzhi raised his head and looked at Fang Liang, it seemed that he was out of shape, so he didn't want to lose his honor in front of his courtiers, his throat seemed to be blocked, he cleared his throat, and said: "Very good, the prince is doing things, I can rest assured." ”

Nature...... Knowing the son is more than the father.

What kind of urine is the crown prince, how could Emperor Hongzhi not know.

Didn't the eunuch say it very clearly?

Fang Jifan's eyes were quick and he hugged the prince, so that it didn't cause a big disaster.

Emperor Hongzhi's heart is like a mirror, he knows that now, this timely rain, all the praise, all the credits, all the things that have smashed the beggar gang conspiracy, and now, they are all gathered on Zhu Houzhao's body.

Fang Jifan...... It's also good. Emotional, Emperor Hongzhi didn't use too many words to praise and praise.

"They, haven't come yet?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at the pouring rain outside the warm pavilion, and became even more anxious.

…………

When Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan arrived outside the noon gate, they got out of the car and walked.

Although the eunuchs who greeted him had already prepared clothes for the two of them, Fang Jifan was still shivering coldly.

Moved a stone and hit his own feet, the rain was begging, but he became a chicken in the soup.

Zhu Houzhao saw Fang Jifan trembling, after all, he had been riding and shooting since he was a child, and his body was sturdy: "Old Fang, is it cold?" Hongu strips to give you ......"

"Don't." Fang Jifan thought to himself, do I dare to wear this robe?

"If you don't get closer, this palace will cover you."

Fang Jifan faced the wind, stepped on the stagnant water, and walked faster.

Zhu Houzhao hurried to catch up: "Look at this rain, is it really what we begged for?" Hehe...... Hehe......"

Until now, he still can't believe it, although he is drenched in soup, and the clothes on his body are soaked in the rain, but he is happy.

Fang Jifan ignored him, and finally rushed to the outside of the warm pavilion, while waiting for the eunuch to report, he took off his hat and robe, but his clothes were already soaked, and even the bun on his head was scattered and draped behind his head.

So he reluctantly straightened his clothes, and listened to the words inside: "Please ask His Royal Highness the Prince, Xinjian Bo to meet quickly." ”

The two entered the warm pavilion and immediately became the focus of the people in the pavilion.

Emperor Hongzhi saw that the two of them were drenched in soup, Fang Jifan covered his nose, and almost sneezed, so he frowned: "Go and change into clean clothes first, and also, burn the earth dragon." ”

In summer, Emperor Hongzhi is reluctant to burn the dragon, the reason why this warm pavilion is a warm pavilion, it is precisely because its sandwich wall and the underground are set up with a special flue, as soon as it comes to winter, it begins to burn charcoal, a large amount of heat comes out of the underground and the sandwich wall, no matter how cold the weather, the warm pavilion can also be warm as spring.

It's just that the fuel required for this is very huge, and in normal times, Emperor Hongzhi is reluctant to burn it, let alone at this time.

He's a very petty guy.

It's rare to be generous today.

So Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao led them to the side hall, changed into clean clothes, and then returned, this time, comfortable, Fang Jifan took on a new look, and saluted: "Minister Fang Jifan, I have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor." ”

Zhu Houzhao on the side also saluted, but Emperor Hongzhi, who was finally calmed down, obviously didn't have time to take care of Zhu Houzhao, but stared at Fang Jifan, and said word by word: "This rain, what's going on, you report it carefully." ”

Fang Jifan took a deep breath, he knew in his heart that it was a set of rhetoric for outsiders, but when he arrived in the palace, the people standing here were the most intelligent and knowledgeable people in the world, and it didn't make sense to use that set of explanations.

"Minister...... Compliance. ”

…………………………

Say it, you may not believe it, when the tiger was studying, the socks were not washed for several months, and the bedding was not washed for several years, so he was lazy. Now he has five watches a day, sitting in front of the computer for more than ten hours a day, fifteen thousand words a day, and has not stopped until now.
