Chapter 174: Xu Guangqi (I)

Seeing Liu Fan's speechless appearance, Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Hmm!" Since you also agreed! Don't run around these days, take advantage of the fact that it's not yet the New Year, hurry up and prepare for the wedding! You can't let Shuying marry into your broken yard! Find a mansion now! I'm telling you, I don't have the money to give you a house! Aren't you very rich? You are responsible for all the costs of this wedding! I don't care! ”

Forehead! Liu Fan was speechless, our emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really an unprecedented slam on the door, just a house, as the emperor, you will soon have a few corrupt officials? I still think about his money. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Liu Fan said helplessly: "Got it! Your Majesty! The minister will definitely finish this matter as soon as possible! ”

Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Okay!" If it's okay, just step down! I'm upset when I see you! You don't hang out in front of me these days! It's okay to go to see Concubine Tian and Guozhang, this is going to be a family, and I haven't met more than three or five times, is it embarrassing to say it? ”

Liu Fan was completely defeated by Chongzhen, and now Chongzhen doesn't want to be a majestic emperor, but like a nagging elder. It is said that Chongzhen is one year younger than Liu Fan himself! This made Liu Fan have a very strange sense of disobedience, Liu Fan couldn't stand this strange atmosphere, and hurriedly said, "The minister knows!" Then it's okay to retire! ”

"Get out of here!" Liu Fan fled in embarrassment.

Liu Fan came out of the palace and returned home, thinking about what happened today, judging from Chongzhen's attitude today, his marriage with Tian Shuying was inevitable, Liu Fan was a little unexpected, although there was a sense of déjà vu to catch ducks on the shelves, but Liu Fan was also inexplicably relieved in his heart, and even a little lucky, at least he didn't have to worry about this matter anymore.

Liu Fan expects that he will stay in the capital for a long time, so he must move around personally, and all kinds of relatives and friends are to visit! As Liu Fan's teacher, Xu Guangqi's Xu Mansion will be Liu Fan's first battle.

Early the next morning, Liu Fan came to Xu's house with a lot of gifts, and when he heard that Liu Fan was visiting, Xu Guangqi's son Xu Ji hurriedly came out to greet "Jimin!" Didn't you fight in Henan? Why did you suddenly return to the capital? When did it arrive? Why didn't you notify us? ”

Liu Fan smiled: "I just arrived yesterday!" Didn't you come early this morning, senior brother and teacher at home? I want to go see his old man! ”

"Yes! Here it is! Please come in! Let's talk at home! Xu Ji said while making a gesture for Liu Fan to enter the mansion. Liu Fan was also not polite, and directly followed Xu Ji into Xu's mansion.

On the way, Xu Ji asked with some doubts, "A few **** ago, I heard that Jimin won a battle in Henan and captured a lot of thieves!" Why did you come to the capital so soon? But is there anything urgent? ”

Liu Fan said helplessly: "Alas! I don't know why His Majesty suddenly asked me to go back to the capital to complete the marriage, and the holy decree has been issued, I can't refuse, so I have to come to the capital! ”

Xu Ji was even more confused, and said in surprise, "Didn't you get married in April this year?" On behalf of my father, I went to congratulate him! Why are you getting married again? ”

"It's Tian Guifei's sister Tian Shuying!" "Oh!"

While the two were talking, they had already stepped into the backyard of Xu's mansion, and as they got closer and closer to Xu Guangqi's room, both of them unconsciously slowed down and stopped talking. Xu Ji gently pushed open the door and took Liu Fan into the room, but the sight made Liu Fan stunned, only to see a thin old man lying quietly on the bed, his face withered, as if he was about to die, Liu Fan also found that the tip of his nose was lingering with a strong smell of Chinese medicine, and the pungent smell made people dizzy!

Xu Ji slowly walked to Xu Guangqi's sickbed and called softly, "Father! Father! Jimin is coming! Wake up! ”

Hearing Xu Ji's call, Xu Guangqi slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Xu Ji, and said in a dry voice, "Jimin? He's coming! Where? ”

Liu Fan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Disciple Liu Fan has seen the teacher!" ”

Hearing Liu Fan's voice, Xu Guangqi turned his head and said hoarsely, "It's really Jimin!?" Come here! Let the old man take a look! "I'm struggling to sit up! Liu Fan stepped forward quickly, gently supported Xu Guangqi and said, "Teacher! Lie down! Liu Fan just came to see you, you don't have to get up! ”

Xu Guangqi waved his hand and said, "Don't get in the way!" The old man's body knows it himself! It's rare for Jimin to come here, and the old man misses you too! I didn't expect to see Jimin before I died! It's time for the old man to be content! ”

Liu Fan was full of shame when he heard this, and said, "Teacher, I..."

Xu Guangqi interrupted Liu Fan's words and said, "Jimin doesn't have to blame himself! The old man knows all about you! Now you have a lot of things in Jiaozhou, you can't do without people everywhere, and at the same time, you have to fight for the country, and it is reasonable that you can't get out of it for a while, and the old man has never blamed you for anything! ”

Liu Fan was even more ashamed, and just wanted to speak but was stopped by Xu Guangqi reaching out his hand, Xu Guangqi gasped for a moment and continued, "Jimin will listen to me first!" I have also been paying attention to what you are doing in Jiaozhou, helping people to build schools, promoting Western learning, and applying what you have learned, which is really rare! The old man has been promoting Western studies all his life, but he has had little effect in half his life, but I didn't expect Jimin to walk in front of me, and the old man can accept such an outstanding disciple as you before he dies, fortunately! ”

Liu Fan hugged and said, "The teacher is too famous!" How can Liu Fan's achievements be compared with you! ”

Xu Guangqi smiled and said, "Jimin doesn't have to be too humble!" You're doing a great job! Worthy of the old man's praise! The old man is studying Western studies, and Western science and technology are developing rapidly all the time, but the Ming Dynasty has been discriminated against by orthodox people for some reasons. Even the Franky cannon and the general's cannon used by the Ming Dynasty now are things from decades ago in the West, not to mention other aspects! Through contact with those Western missionaries, the old man deeply understood the temperament of those Westerners! For the sake of profit, they can do anything, slaughter and exterminate the clan at every turn! His greed and cruelty are even worse than those of Yuan Meng! The old man has always been worried about the situation of the Ming Dynasty in the future, so he tried his best to promote the artillery technology of the West, on the one hand, he wanted to use the benefits of the Western artillery fire to resist the construction of the prisoners in the north, and resist the Japanese in the south, and at the same time accumulate a strength for the future of the Ming Dynasty! As a result..."Xu Guangqi shook his head and sighed, his expression full of sadness.

When Liu Fan heard the old man's words, he couldn't help but be impressed by the old man's persistence and foresight, and when he saw the old man's lonely appearance and skinny body, his heart was even more sad! I didn't know how to persuade for a while, so I could only open my mouth and comfort, "Teacher don't be sad! You also have Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Sun and me! We will uphold the will of the teacher and devote ourselves to the promotion and application of Western learning! (To be continued.) )
