Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan got out of the carriage.

Zhu Houzhao was holding a box made of agarwood in his hand, he looked unhappy, and chirped: "Can you really exchange it for silver?" Hongu thinks that he should not be able to exchange it. ”

Fang Jifan comforted him and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, if the Marquis of Yinzhou doesn't exchange the silver for his things, his body will not be complete, has His Highness forgotten that his body is skinned, and his parents have forgotten that he still wants to enter the coffin completely?" ”

Zhu Houzhao hugged the box tighter.

I saw Fang Jifan continue: "So I think, how can I get 30,000 taels of silver, 30,000 taels of silver for a complete one, this is not a big deal for the Marquis of Yinzhou, their Zhou family has been rich and noble with the Empress Dowager for decades, and 30,000 taels can't afford it?"

After hearing these words, Zhu Houzhao felt a little more relieved, but said: "Since everyone divided the 30,000 taels of silver equally, why is this palace holding this old thing." ”

Fang Jifan's lips twitched quickly, thinking of the things hidden in the box, he felt uncomfortable, the beef slices he ate at noon, as well as the lamb rolls, and the crispy little suckling pig, he couldn't help but want to vomit.

He said with a smile: "Because the minister has a brain disease, I'm afraid that one of them will accidentally fall." If it is broken, the silver will be gone, this is the treasure of the Marquis of Yinzhou, and the gold will not be exchanged. ”

Zhu Houzhao snorted, but he didn't have any objections.

The two slowly entered the palace.

Every time he arrived outside the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Houzhao felt a little empty, thought about it, turned around and threw the box to Zhang Yong behind him.

Waiting for the eunuch to report, the two entered the palace immediately.

As usual, they saluted.

But he saw that Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head, and his imperial case was on a pile of periodicals.

In the past two years, dozens of issues of the journal have been published, and at this time, Emperor Hongzhi decided to take a fresh look.

Fang Jifan opened his mouth and said: "Erchen has seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......"

"Fang Qing's family......" Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and glanced at Fang Jifan deeply: "There is an article here that confirms that the world is a ball, that is to say......... My Daming fleet, if it goes to the Western Ocean, if it goes all the way west, it can really return to Daming. ”

"In theory, so." Fang Jifan is cautious about anything that has not been confirmed in this world, and he will never bite to death.

If the answer is directly bitten, who will want to confirm it?

The essence of science is not what the standard answer is.

It's about ...... Explore!

Only by exploring on your own and seeking answers can you cultivate a group of people who are keen to explore true knowledge.

Emperor Hongzhi cheered up, stared at the paper motionlessly, and said for a long time: "I should form a fleet, set off from the Ming Dynasty, and let them go all the way west, but I want to see if this is really the case." ”

Immediately, he looked up and smiled, "Not only that, but I also need to send a fleet to the east, here...... It is an ocean, this ocean is really vast, I have seen the map left by the eunuchs of the Three Treasures, if I can cross this ocean, then, I can go east to the Ming Dynasty, and I can also reach the Golden Continent! ”

He lifted his spirits, and his eyes seemed to shine, and then he said: "The articles here involve astronomy and geography, but also agriculture, engineering, and medicine, and every knowledge is refreshing." ”

Emperor Hongzhi talked eloquently, and his mood seemed to be excellent.

The world in front of him seemed to be different, like an ignorant person who suddenly opened his eyes and saw a colorful and splendid world.

At this moment, he seems to be full of ambition.

Over the years, according to the method of the Four Books and Five Classics, the world has been governed, but what is the result, but the result is still full of drawbacks...... But there are very few.

And now...... He suddenly discovered that, to a certain extent, many of the shortcomings of the dynasty could actually be passed... Well...... Development to solve.

For example, the loss of grain, the government escorted grain to Beijing, ten catties of grain, sent to Beijing, only six or seven catties remained, where did the remaining two or three catties go? Some were eaten by the transported people and horses in the process of transportation, and some were ...... I'm afraid that some people are directly greedy for ink in the name of this.

But it is not easy to investigate thoroughly.

And now, as soon as the steam train came out, the problem of loss was solved at once. Because...... Even if it is 100,000 catties of grain, there is no longer a need to requisition hundreds or thousands of people to transport it, and only a dozen people in the steam train can solve the problem of long-distance transportation.

And also...... In order to provide disaster relief, the imperial court spent countless money and food, and he did his best, asking every day, so many officials participated in it, but as a result, how many people could be saved after the money and food were spent?

But a single blood drawing technique can save so many lives......

What a great thing it is.

The great rule of the world is the goal, as for how to achieve it, whether it is through the Four Books and the Five Classics, or through other methods, is it important?

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and looked up, just in time to see that outside the floor-to-ceiling window of the Fengtian Palace, Zhang Yong, the prince's companion, was holding a large box in his hand.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but smile and said, "What, you still brought me a gift?" ”

"Ah......h

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan looked at each other, subconsciously turned their heads, followed the gaze of Emperor Hongzhi, and saw Zhang Yong outside the hall.

Fang Jifan suddenly felt that his heart was run by 10,000 grass and mud horses.

This Zhang Yong, is there something wrong with his brain, he clearly knows that this is a floor-to-ceiling window, and he can see the movement outside, and he is still carrying a box and walking back and forth blatantly.

This thing, can't be given to Your Majesty, can you let Your Majesty fry the waist flower and eat it?

To avoid misunderstanding, Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is not for Your Majesty, it is for the Marquis of Yinzhou, I heard that the Marquis of Yinzhou entered the palace, His Royal Highness the Prince and the ministers deliberately soaked the most precious part of his body with the best divine water to make it not rot, and it contained it, it is crystal clear, after 36 processes to polish the crystal bottle, this box, there is more origin, this wood was born in the back garden of Xishan Academy, for several years, it is accompanied by Lang Lang's reading sound to grow, and then find the best craftsman, cut it downIn the process of felling, I also invited the monks of Pudu Temple to chant for 7749 days, so that it can be cut down in the process, without resentment, if it has a spirit, only love. The minister then invited skilled craftsmen to process, polish and paint this wood, which is again thirteen processes, and finally, it was completed. The Hou Gui of Yinzhou is unspeakable, and a part of his body is not this wood, this bottle, and this divine water, and it cannot be contained. ”

Emperor Hongzhi listened to it for a long time, uh, I didn't understand it.

Well, if you think about it, isn't it just a preservative potion, a glass bottle, and a box made of rotten wood?

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were shining, and the whole person was very excited, and blurted out: "Father, do you guess how much silver we spent in order to preserve this precious organ?" He stretched out two fingers, felt that it was less, and then stretched out another one, and then stretched out another one, and said solemnly: "Forty thousand taels, forty thousand taels......

Emperor Hongji: "......"

The current Hongzhi Emperor is not so easy to coax.

Look at these two guys, their faces are full of red light, nine times out of ten, there must be nothing good.

But......

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Let's get down to business." ”

Fang Jifan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he didn't like to talk about money, it was too vulgar, but Zhu Houzhao was this guy, and he had to say the price, which made him worried.

Now His Majesty doesn't seem to be pursuing any further, and that's great.

But at this time, a eunuch outside said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Yinzhou has come to thank you." ”

It turned out that Zhou was saying goodbye from Renshou Palace, seeing that it was still early, thinking about the way His Majesty pulled his face, and pondered carefully, it was better to thank His Majesty, and ...... is alive again, and he will rely on the emperor in the future.

He entered the hall nervously, and hurriedly saluted Emperor Hongzhi and said: "The minister has seen Your Majesty, I am seriously ill, fortunately thanks to Your Majesty's rescue, the grace of saving my life, the old minister is grateful, Your Majesty is raining rain and dew, and the old minister is ......"

When Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan heard this, they stood aside and sneered in their hearts.

This old thing, it's really not a thing.

Opening your mouth is to thank Your Majesty for saving your life, is it really Your Majesty's salvation? In order to hug His Majesty's thighs, what about the face?

What Fang Jifan hates most is such a stinky and shameless person, who has no beard and no backbone.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "I really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Zhou Qing's family came just in time, and Houzhao and Jifan sent you good things." ”

"Ah......" Zhou Zheng noticed that Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan were standing aside, and at this moment, they were looking at him with a smile.

So Zhou Zheng hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Fang Duwei, hello, I ...... I...... Thank you for saving your life. ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Fang Jifan smiled brightly and said sincerely: "Helping others is the foundation of happiness, and if I can see the old marquis being able to be fierce and fierce, I will be content with my future generations this night." Oh, we've got something for you. ”

Then, Fang Jifan went outside the hall and said, "Come, bring the things."

That Zhang Yong hurriedly came with the box.

Zhu Houzhao was happy, his eyes lit up, and he secretly glanced at his father, and when he saw that his father was not angry, he became bold and said to Zhou Zheng: "Guess what, what is here?" ”

Zhou Zheng looked at the box and didn't understand, so he shook his head.

"Your waist!" Zhu Houzhao said seriously: "The one cut off from you, do you like it?" ”

As soon as he heard what he had cut off from his body, Zhou Zheng's eyes suddenly became motionless, he stared at the box desperately, and couldn't help but want to beat his chest and fall his feet, and tears came out.

Baby, this is the baby that fell from my body.

He said excitedly: "Your Highness, this ...... This...... Thank you so much, Your Highness, thank you, I want to kill it......"

He got up and tried to hold the box.

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said: "Wait! ”
