Chapter 111: Edict to Punish Yourself
Just as Liu Jian and the others expected, after listening to Fang Jifan's words, Emperor Hongzhi's face changed suddenly, his eyes were like a edge, and he said coldly: "Bold, is this what a courtier should say?" ”
Fang Jifan was really startled under the forced gaze of Emperor Hongzhi, and hurriedly said: "The minister is guilty of capital crimes." ”
Emperor Hongzhi stared straight at Fang Jifan and said: "I treat you well, you actually want to sell your name, it seems that I am too indulgent to you, if you don't knock and knock you, he will not rebel?" Come! ”
Liu Jian and the three of them couldn't help but close their eyes regretfully, Fang Jifan, this kid, has more than courage, but when it comes to his so-called advice, this guy is simply a pig teammate, and he wants to excuse him, but he doesn't know where to start.
"Wait! "
Uh, the pig teammates are starting to die again.
His Majesty has obviously made up his mind, and at this time, he has to take a beating, and then obediently obey, but this guy ...... In His Majesty's angry eyes, he said, 'Wait! ”
Xie Qian couldn't bear to look at it, staggered his eyes to the side, and suddenly felt that there was a feeling that the wind was sluggish and the water was cold, and the strong man was gone.
Emperor Hongzhi was stunned, at this time, do you dare to say it slowly? Where did this guy learn his stinky problem?
Before Emperor Hongzhi could attack, Fang Jifan said with righteousness and awe: "Before the minister came, he was ready to die generously!" ”
Die generously......
Of course, this is a lie, Fang Jifan is not a person looking for death, but ...... Wouldn't that look a little more imposing?
"......" Emperor Hongzhi was even more stunned.
"But...... Your Majesty, you are not doing this right! The ministers succeed the vassals and do not agree! The loud words seemed to echo in the warm pavilion.
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes widened, and now, the raging fire is really burning more and more.
Liu Jian sighed in his heart, this is the rhythm of preparing to collect the corpse.
And Fang Jifan obviously didn't stop his consciousness, and continued: "The reason why the minister doesn't agree is because of two things, one of which is ...... The minister accompanied His Royal Highness the crown prince to study, after all, the crown prince was not born a sage, and he would always make mistakes, so the minister repeatedly told the crown prince that people ...... Making a mistake is not terrible, but the most terrible thing is to know the mistake and not change it, in this world, there has never been a sage, the prince is like this, and the minister is like this, but if there is a mistake, then correct it, just fine. But if you don't know your mistakes and don't correct them, then there will be more and more mistakes, and if you go on like this, when the prince becomes an adult, how can you be a good prince and a good son of Your Majesty. ”
Call...... Emperor Hongzhi, who was about to be completely furious, was stunned.
This guy ...... He sacrificed the prince.
The implication is that in fact, it is just an analogy with the emperor, the prince will make mistakes, the emperor will also make mistakes, and if he makes mistakes, he will change them, nothing is a big deal, and it is not something unseemly.
Although these words still provoked the deep shame in Emperor Hongzhi's heart, Emperor Hongzhi was still silent, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Fang Jifan raised his head and continued: "There is one more thing, the minister must make it clear. The minister's father, Your Majesty thinks about it, and since the minister's memory, the minister's father got up every day before dawn to go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to be on duty. There is not a day to slack off, even if it is windy and rainy, we will never dare to delay. If there is a war, the father of the minister is out on the expedition, and he will share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. He tried to do everything to the best of his ability, so much so that His Majesty appreciated him and his soldiers loved him. As a result, the minister did not understand his behavior......"
This time, it was Fang Jifan's father who came out.
I have to say that Fang Jinglong, in addition to spoiling his son, is almost impeccable, he is the same as Emperor Hongzhi, he is not beautiful, he is diligent in official business, and he has a clear eye for everything, this reputation is recognized both inside and outside the government and the opposition.
As soon as he thought of Fang Jinglong, Emperor Hongzhi's face softened a little, and his thoughts about preparing to severely punish Fang Jifan unconsciously lightened a lot, after all, ...... It's Zhongliang, Fang Qing's family is such a son, he already has a brain disease, if he really hurts him, then the father doesn't know how to be heartbroken.
But Emperor Hongzhi still snorted coldly.
Fang Jifan ignored Emperor Hongzhi's disdain, but continued in a good time: "The minister's behavior towards the minister's father is very incomprehensible, even if the minister's father is loyal to His Majesty, but he is not so meticulous, sometimes even if he is sick, he does not dare to neglect his official duties, and goes to the governor's mansion on time to order." So, the minister asked his father, everyone has seven emotions and six yu, and they all have five tuberculosis and seven injuries, but why is his father so diligent and unwilling to slack off at all? ”
It seems that the monarchs and ministers in the warm pavilion are all immersed in this little story, and everyone is dumbfounded, just want to hear how Fang Jifan's father answered.
Fang Jifan said lightly: "So the minister's father said that he must be loyal to the Son of Heaven, so he dare not slack off." But this is not the only reason, there is another reason, but as a father, he should set an example, let the minister know that he must be humble and loyal, the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, if the father can not make a good example for the minister, then ...... The minister is even more ridiculous, so ...... The minister's father tried his best to be a perfect person, so that one day, the minister could follow his example and become a person who kept to himself. Okay, that's it. ”
“……”
Silent.
You can hear the needles falling in the warm pavilion.
The only thing I could hear was the faint sound of breathing.
Li Dongyang suddenly, his eyes burst out, and there was a bright light in his eyes.
God!
Emperor Hongzhi was stunned again.
These two stories, if they are separated, may be nothing, but once they are combined, they seem to have some infinite persuasive power.
It's not uncommon to change your mistakes.
But the second story is all of a sudden, and it has the feeling of Emperor Hongzhi's empowerment.
Everything Fang Jifan's father did was not for himself, but for what, because he had a son. He knows that he has done something wrong, maybe people don't know it, or even if there is any negligence, he will not be blamed, but he still tries to do everything well, just because he is the father of his son, and he wants his son to follow his example.
Isn't this exactly what we should not do with the small of good, and do not take the small of evil?
Similarly, in addition to being an emperor, Emperor Hongzhi is also a father, and now ...... He did something wrong, if he didn't correct his mistakes, he even thought that if he was wrong, he was wrong, what was the big deal, the face of the heavenly family and the majesty of the court were more important after all, so what would happen if the crown prince saw all this in his eyes?
Zhu Houzhao was originally a stinky problem, Emperor Hongzhi hoped that he could correct it, so he didn't correct his mistakes, so why did he set an example and tell the prince that he could change his mistakes?
The face of the royal family is important, but is the education of the crown prince not important?
The crown prince, after all, represents the future.
Compared with Emperor Hongji's expectations for the crown prince, what is my self-esteem?
Suddenly, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes changed from blank to as clear as the sun.
Not bad...... If I am as vague as I am today, then ...... In the future, the crown prince will be like me, I am his father, if he can't even be a role model himself, how can he be qualified to let his son correct his mistakes?
It's still eerily quiet in the warm pavilion.
In fact, Fang Jifan's heart was actually a little uneasy, the killer weapon he threw out was not a big truth at all, nor was it the so-called right or wrong of things, but the crown prince, Fang Jifan was betting in the heart of Emperor Hongzhi, and His Royal Highness the crown prince was more important than everything.
Lost...... Just get ready to peel the skin and flesh open.
But if the bet is right, then the whole case will be completely reversed, and the person who should not have been wronged can be treated fairly.
At this time, I saw Emperor Hongzhi with his hands behind his back, his eyes closed, his brows furrowed deeply, and he seemed to be in thought, and heaven and man were at war.
In Fang Jifan's nervous waiting, he saw Emperor Hongzhi's sudden opening of his eyes, and then said: "Immediately issue an order, the case of Cheng Minzheng and Xu Jing's fraud is purely false, and I ...... it."
Speaking of this, Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath, seemed to have made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "I can't see in advance, so that Cheng and Xu are tortured into tricks in the edict, this is my fault. This case, caused the world to gossip, but also to the innocent and loyal ministers, Gongsheng wronged, this is my fault, I Ke since the unification, since I thought that I have a thousand opportunities, the world Haiyan River is clear, I don't know, I sit in the palace, can not see the details, now the two of them have been framed, I have no shirk of responsibility, should be edicted to sin, three provinces of my body, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past. And the person who falsely accused Cheng Minzheng and Xu Jing gave Huachang the matter to Huachang, and immediately ordered him to be immediately deposed and driven out of Beijing. The Jinyiwei related people who were suspected of being tortured into a trick also immediately began a strict investigation, and those involved in this case were severely punished. ”
He paused, looked at Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian, who were in good spirits, and continued: "Cheng Minzheng, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, immediately resume his original position; Gongsheng Xu Jing also restored his tribute and fame as usual. ”
"Today, Cheng Minzheng and Xu Jing, although they have been wronged, but the grievances they have suffered still make me feel heartbroken, people can't be wronged, and officials can't stop it, this is all my fault, that is, I ordered the British public to ask for the guilt in the Taimiao on behalf of me, and told the ancestors and ancestors about my negligence, thinking that it was a punishment, and I hope that I can always see the previous precepts, and I am terrified!"
When he said this, Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be relieved, and his whole face was soothed.
However, this is not only for Cheng Minzheng and Xu Jing Zhaoxue, but also for Emperor Hongzhi to issue an edict to the world, announcing to the world that the biggest responsibility for this matter is he, the son of heaven, and he is even more cautious to let the British Duke go to the Taimiao Temple to sacrifice and state this matter, as an emperor, this is not easy.
