Chapter 22: The Fang Family's Determination

When Daming Tiger Benwei Fu Fang Guan saw his former teacher again, he was full of emotion, and when Fang Guan was young, Fang Guozhen raised troops. As Fang Guozhen's sister-in-law and future heir. Fang Guozhen also attaches great importance to the cultivation of Fangguan.

Invite famous teachers everywhere, such as Zhan Ding.

I think when I was young, how beautiful it was. The people around you revolve around you. And this year, nearly half a hundred is more bleak.

Fang Guan is not without talent.

After all, as mentioned earlier, the Ming Dynasty destroyed culture because of the Yuan Dynasty. It's just that there are not many people who have read poetry and books, and who have received education. Fang Guozhen's grasp of Fang Guan's education may not be worse than Zhu Biao's. This is not to say that Fang Guan's talent is above Zhu Biao, just that compared to ordinary people, Fang Guan is not worth it at the starting point.

Not to mention, the most exercised person is not reading, but the world.

Falling from the peak, the world is hot and cold. Back then, when he got married. The beauties of eastern Zhejiang, let him choose. Now that his son is married, he can't even find a decent family. Whether the woman is good or bad. As long as the father heard that it was Fang Guozhen's grandson, he immediately shook his head.

Let Fang Guan only find a market woman for his son. As soon as he thought of this, Fang Guan felt a pain in his heart.

Fang Guan knew about Zhan Ding's imprisonment. But he did nothing. First, he also has no connections, as a marginal person in the Ming court. There was no way he could put his hand in the Jinyi Guard's prison. In addition, he was also worried that if he didn't do anything, Zhan Ding would still have a chance to live. If he did. Zhan Ding will definitely die.

Fang Guozhen's Fang is engraved on their heads all the time.

At this moment, Fang Guan and Zhan Ding saw each other without saying a word. Wordless tears flowed first.

Say what? What is there to say.

No, there are countless things to say in the past ten years, and there are countless bitter pains that I want to confide in. But at the moment, I don't know where to start.

It took a while for both sides to gather their emotions.

Zhan Ding told Fang Guan what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, and said, "Childe." This time is the Fang family's chance. Maybe it's the only chance in the future. It can be regarded as the last thing that the old man can do for the Fang family. Please also pay more attention to the child. ”

Fang Guan's face turned red at the moment, and his green tendons burst out, and he said; "I know. I know. This thing must be done, even if I die, this thing must be done. ”

Fang Guan was telling the truth.

To put it mildly. Fang Guan had wanted to die for a long time. Not everyone can afford to live up to this gap. District town magistrate. Maybe ordinary people think it's an official. But in Fang Guan's view, it was simply humiliating.

Of course, humiliation is enough. Descend people. And rightfully so.

It's just that Fang Guan is unwilling to accept the fall of the Fang family.

is also a surrender, how brilliant the Qian family of the king of Wuyue is. But if the other Fang family continues like this, within a few years, it will be unnoticed. Who knows, what is the other family?

If Fang Guan is really a person with no ability, no talent. He might be able to accept the result. But after all, Fang Guan was a party who had gone through strong winds and waves, and he was ordered to send envoys several times, and he met Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang. I've even been to Dadu. In terms of diplomacy, Fang Guan also did things back then.

Heroes and heroes in the world. Fang Guan has seen a lot. The horizon is high. I'm not a philistine myself. Because of this, he was more miserable and uncomfortable.

If it weren't for worrying, the future of the Fang family. Fang Guan has long been a drunken beauty, and he will rest until he dies.

Therefore, at this moment, let him use his life to find an invisible shackle for the Fang family. At least, let the Fang family be able to appear openly in Daming. There is no invisible ceiling. Fang Guan is dead. He also died without regrets.

That's the limit of what he can do. The rest is up to his sons.

Zhan Ding said: "I haven't been in contact with my deceased for many years. I don't know what is going on at sea today, how much does Childe still know? ”

Fang Guan said: "I don't know at all. Since his father returned to the court, he has never asked about the sea. Cut off all contact with the deceased. Not afraid of teacher jokes. I have not met with several brothers for more than ten years, and we have very few correspondences. ”

When Zhan Ding heard this, he also sighed.

As mentioned earlier, Fang Guozhen is nepotistic. Therefore, the core of power of Fang Guozhen's regime is in the Fang family. The reason why Fang Guan didn't dare to associate with the brothers in the Fang family. It is because the brothers in the Fang family are added up to the team of Fang Guozhen's regime.

How dare they mess around.

And today on each side. Fang Guozhen's three sons, Fang Guan was in Beijing, one was in Guangdong, and the other was exiled to Yunnan. Only the other brothers are also in office. are also military generals, and they are all petty officials. Not even a single commander.

Zhan Ding said: "How is that good? Now the Fang family is used above, which is to value the connections and abilities at sea, and now it has been cut off for all these years. Where do we clean up? ”

Fang Guan smiled faintly and said, "Don't clean up." My father is a hero of the seas. The study of the sea has always been a family study. Why do you need to be helped. If there is a square character of the Fang family, it is enough. Teacher, decide big things and dispel big doubts. I'm not as good as you, but the sea is thousands of miles away, and you're not as good as me. I actually only know a little, inside the Fang family, such characters don't know themselves. Moreover, even if there has been no contact for more than ten years. The old brothers of the year will not all wither. ”

"Things at sea, you have to believe in the Fang family."

Zhan Ding said: "In that case. Let's hurry south. Without further ado. ”

------

He Xi never expected that the Fang family's determination was so great.

Almost not long after Zhu Yuanzhang's secret letter came again. Fang Guan arrived.

Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded He Xi fiercely in the secret letter. told He Xi about Princess Anqing. I want to reflect on it. But he was reluctant to reprimand Princess Anqing. Immediately, He Xi's views on the sea ban policy were not denied. But Zhu Yuanzhang reminded him. Be cautious. It's better to take it easy. Don't rush it. In a word, give He Xi the freedom to act. But on the southeast coast, there is absolutely no chaos.

This can't be messed up, it probably has two meanings.

First, it is not possible to let the pirates who were originally pacified recreate chaos because of He Xi's actions. Second, in the officialdom, there can be no big moves. After all, from the perspective of the entire Ming Dynasty, the southeast coastal area, whether it is a pirate or a pirate, is a secondary direction. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to involve too much energy here.

In a word, stability is paramount, and reform is promoted in the midst of stability. Don't make too many moths, and let him wipe his ass.

Regarding the matter of Princess Anqing, He Xi only had time to give a few words. Nothing else was said. Instead, he came forward and swept the Ningbo officials. It can be said that He Xi used his influence to outline at least hundreds of lives.

There is no other reason. He Xi wants to use his reputation to cover up the reputation of Princess Anqing. In the future, when outsiders mention it, it will be He Xi who did it himself. And not Princess Anqing did it.

Of course, the impact is not good. may have ruined He Xi's reputation in officialdom.

Although He Xi is calculating in many things. If you are not calculating, you can't do it. Which one of the people who competed with him was not the old fox. He is not shrewd, he has been sold, and he is still counting the money. But there are some things, He Xi still thinks it's better to be sincere.

It's all trifle, though.

Really big deals. He Xi didn't have a clue at all. That's about the sea.

Today's Ningbo can almost be said to be the world's first seaport. He Xi conducted an in-depth investigation of Ningbo. I also met ocean-going sailors. As mentioned before, the Ming maritime trade was at a low ebb. But official trade has always been there. Some sailors who run to the South Seas, there are still some.

It's just that He Xi obviously feels a little. That is, he is incompatible with the real ocean trade circle.

It is like an invisible diaphragm that separates He Xi from this circle. Even if He Xi has seen some people in this circle. But no one told He Xi the truth. It's all high-sounding prevarication. This made He Xi very helpless.

There was one, he knew very well, that these people were not telling the truth. But he couldn't do anything about them.

Now that I think about it, this is not what this circle did to He Xi, but what this circle did to the Ming court.
