Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan and was silent for a long time, as if he wanted to see something on Fang Jifan's face.

After half a ring, he snorted coldly: "You two are really the same dog!" I'm scolding me today! I just want to see what you say about the unity of knowledge and action, and what you say about experiencing the suffering of the people, so how you have settled the displaced people, now show me. ”

The first half finally didn't get tangled up anymore, but now...... Sure enough, the results will finally be tested.

Zhu Houzhao was not idle, and glanced at Fang Jifan.

Immediately after, the two of them each took out a stack of paperwork from their sleeves.

So much......

I'm afraid there are 100,000 words.

The anger on Emperor Hongzhi's face had not yet dissipated, but when he saw the documents that Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao took out, he was stunned.

What is it?

"Take the ......" Emperor Hongzhi solemnized.

The crown prince just said that he was happy, since you are happy, then it is good, and look at how you help the victims in Xishan, things are not done well, and you like to babble, if I don't clean you up today, I can't swallow this breath.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly and said, "Father, this is not right. ”

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhu Houzhao said seriously: "Fang Cai's son's criticism of his father and emperor is out of the personal relationship between father and son!" However, the matter of giving relief to the displaced people was a dispatch from his father to his sons, so it was a matter of official business, so why not summon the cabinet scholars to meet and discuss together? ”

"......" Emperor Hongzhi was also served.

Fang Jifan actually admired Zhu Houzhao's temperament of not being afraid of death, at this time, he smiled at Emperor Hongzhi honestly, wanting to resolve his hatred.

However, it seems that Emperor Hongji ignored him.

It's a little awkward.

Emperor Hongzhi glared at Zhu Houzhao, and said: "You are not afraid of being embarrassed, I am still afraid of being embarrassed, okay, everything is up to you, come and summon the cabinet university scholars to meet!" ”

…………

At this time, in the Ministry of War, a report from Quanzhou had been sent to the desk of Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

Ma Wensheng has been doing well these days, at least the matter of going to the West has been finalized, and naturally it is completely dominated by the Ministry of War!

Now the vanguard fleet of the military department has been at sea for more than a month, and after they come back and determine the correct position after the chart, they will start to build more ships and train more sailors and helmsmen, and then they will replicate the grand occasion of Emperor Wen in those years!

Just thinking about it, Ma Wensheng was quite excited.

In any case, once going to the West becomes an important national policy, the status of the Ministry of War in the Sixth Department will naturally rise, and going to the West requires a large amount of money and grain, which is naturally in the hands of the Ministry of War, and it also needs to levy a large amount of manpower and skilled craftsmen, these ...... All of this means that the authority of the Ministry of War is about to be expanded.

The most important thing is that Fang Jifan's crow's mouth finally went to Xishan with the prince, and there was no news for more than two months.

This feeling...... Not bad.

In the past, whenever that guy made some remarks, he made the military department choke once, but now that Fang Jifan has finally stopped, it's really ...... What a pleasure.

Today, he was on duty as usual, and he had nothing to do, but when a scribe hurriedly sent the report from Quanzhou to his desk......

His brow furrowed deeply!

I saw that it was written: "Wang Qingyu, the prefect of Quanzhou, recently in the open sea, there was a sea inspection that found that there were sailors floating on the wrecked sampan on the sea, and their people had been adrift at sea for several days, and the inspection rescued them, and the fleet of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was ...... hundreds of miles overseas."

The fleet is wrecked!

After Ma Wensheng read the report in detail, he suddenly shuddered.

It turned out to be the entire fleet of the military department, and it was directly annihilated!

They followed the original route of navigation and went all the way south, intending to travel south along the coast of Annam and stop at Champa.

According to the report of the rescued crew, their fleet ran aground a few days after going to sea, and the route marked on the chart was completely wrong, and the islands that should have had fresh water had no fresh water, so that there was not enough fresh water, and reefs that should not have appeared appeared.

As a result, the sea ship was penetrated by the reef, the two sea ships were badly damaged, and the remaining sea ship was in a dilemma, intending to go all the way to the west, using this only fresh water to maintain the minimum supply of the ship's personnel to an island where the country of Annam was located, but unfortunately......

The island on the map did not exist at all, and at this point, they had to choose to return immediately.

Pity...... It's obviously too late.

There was no trimming, no fresh water, the ship's food was empty, disease began to break out in the fleet, a group of disgruntled sailors began to revolt, the officers of the thousand households in the fleet were killed, and some sailors who were loyal to the thousand households hurriedly searched for the sampan and jumped into the sea.

The lucky crew relied on the sampan to float in the sea for several days, and by the time the sea inspection found it offshore, the man was already dying.

After learning about the situation, the governor of Quanzhou knew that the matter was very important.

A fleet, hundreds of people, all annihilated!

This is such an important thing.

And the result of the destruction ...... It's just because of an error in the charts.

The island, which should have been able to be repaired on the shore, has no fresh water; The islands that should have appeared, the sea area where there should have been no reefs, and there should have been no reefs, are actually full of reefs.

In the vast ocean, even a mistake on the map may bring bad luck to a fleet, not to mention the frequent mistakes, such a map directly buries a fleet.

So, I immediately rushed a hundred miles and quickly reported to the military department.

Ma Wensheng read the report, and it was difficult to regain his calm for a long time.

The maps and materials stored by the Ministry of War are a complete mess.

He even thought in his mind that if it wasn't for the fleet that explored first this time, it would not be this small fleet that would have been destroyed, but ......

A cold sweat broke out from his forehead, and then Ma Wensheng said angrily: "Check, check to the end for this official, who copied the map in the first place, all the officials who copied, verified, wrote, and cataloged, no matter what position they are in today, whether they have returned to their hometowns, they will find out to this official." ”

The problem is obvious.

The Three Treasure Eunuchs relied on the routes that they had to find out when they went to the West again and again, as well as the maps they drawn, there would definitely be no mistakes, otherwise, how could there be no accident when they went to the West seven times?

When it was sealed, there was nothing wrong with it.

Then the only mistake is naturally on the issue of keeping, sealing, and re-transcribing in the military department, the re-transcription and transcription during the Chenghua period made hundreds of mistakes and omissions, and it was perfunctory to such a point, so many people handled it, and no one pointed out the problem, which led to this huge shipwreck!

The lives of hundreds of people have even been put into all the sea ships that can be used by the military department.

What's even more terrifying is that since the current maps and information are all wrong and missing, then ...... Everything has to be rediscovered!

But going to the West is imminent, this ...... How much time it has to be delayed, how much effort it takes, and how much manpower and material resources have to be sacrificed.

"Fang Jifan is really ...... Crow's mouth, ah......" Ma Wensheng scolded in a huffing breath.

Why did he get it right again?

He said with a hideous face: "Check it out, if the person who handled it at the beginning, even if he is in the cabinet now, he must find out!" ”

The matter is so serious, the losses are heavy, how can it not make him worry.

Immediately, he picked up the report again, looked at it fixedly, as if thinking about something, but it was obvious, his face was miserable for a long time, his eyes were dark and unclear, and after a long sound, he suddenly said: "Go to the cabinet, go to the cabinet!" ”

…………

Ma Wensheng has no face to take a sedan chair to the noon gate, he really can't afford to lose this person, although the mistake is very likely to be those officials of the military department during the Chenghua period, and he has nothing to do with it, but this is a huge negligence of the military department after all.

It's no wonder.

It is no wonder that when the debate was about going to the sea, although the predecessor of the military department Shangshu strongly advocated going to the sea, a group of officials led by Liu Daxia in the military department were strongly opposed, and it turned out that ......

There's such a strange thing here! Want...... When it was first copied, no one took these maps and materials seriously, everyone thought that the imperial court sea ban had been a national policy, and the Ming Dynasty could no longer go to the sea, since it was impossible to go to the West again, then these materials and maps, although they still need to be re-transcribed and preserved according to the rules, but no one cares, all the people who handle it, are actually perfunctory, and everyone is troublesome.

Everyone is eager to copy it and then exchange it for leisure.

As a result, a series of mistakes led to a terrible shipwreck.

By the time he reached the cabinet, he was out of breath.

Liu Jian and others seem to be there.

When the prince enters the palace today, they hope that His Majesty and the prince will get along well, and even so, they, the foreign ministers, will naturally not be able to disturb the gathering of His Majesty and the prince's father and son.

As soon as he saw Ma Wensheng coming in a hurry, Liu Jian felt that something was wrong.

If it's just an ordinary thing, just send someone to pass a note with a message, why bother Ma Wensheng himself.

But as soon as he saw Liu Jian, Ma Wensheng actually knelt down directly.

He...... Tears flowed down his face and cried.

"Gong Liu, something is wrong, Xia Guanxi is the secretary of the Ministry of War, since taking office, the corpse is vegetarian, like an old dog, only knows how to breathe, not only did not report the favor in the palace, but ...... But it caused a huge disaster, which is the negligence of the lower officials......"

Liu Jian chuckled violently in his heart, it must be a big deal!

Even Xie Qian and Li Dongyang, who heard the movement, heard the news and looked at the embarrassed Ma Wensheng with a shocked expression.

Liu Jian was still calm, and he said with an awe-inspiring face: "What's wrong, no matter what happens, what's the use of crying?" You play first. ”

Ma Wensheng entered the recital without saying a word.

Liu Jian took it and opened it to see that the face of this old minister who had gone through several dynasties had completely changed.
