Fang Jifan spoke in high spirits, but Zhu Houzhao's face turned green, and he even shuddered subconsciously.

Seeing Fang Jifan's eloquent words, he felt an ominous premonition deeply in his heart.

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned when he heard it. He felt that what Fang Jifan said was absurd, but there was still a trace of truth in it. He couldn't help but said: "Is that really the case?"

Fang Jifan swore: "I use my own personality as a guarantee, I will never lie, and I will never lie to Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded in agreement, thoughtfully, then glanced at Zhu Houzhao beside him, and saw that he was shivering like chaff.

But Emperor Hongzhi still looked normal, he seemed to feel that Fang Jifan was still a little unreliable: "Where did you hear these principles?"

"An expert." Fang Jifan answered honestly.

Seeing Fang Jifan's reluctance to reveal his name, Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "How can beating be effective?"

Fang Jifan said conveniently: "The minister usually uses a whip, and the whip is whipped, which is more pleasant to the body and mind."

As expected, Emperor Hongzhi saw that there was actually a whip on the desk in the study. He picked up the whip curiously, shook it, and asked Fang Jifan, "Is it this one?"

Fang Jifan said: "Yes."

Emperor Hongzhi patted the whip lightly on the palm of his other hand, as if feeling the strength of the whip, he seemed to be thinking about something for a long time: "Can I give the whip to me?"

Fang Jifan said generously: "If your majesty wants it, you can take it and use it yourself. You don't have to be polite, but... I dare to ask, my majesty asks me... why do you want a whip?"

"Oh, I just like it." Emperor Hongzhi only said something perfunctory.

Then he took a deep look at Fang Jifan, as if he felt that today's trip was worthwhile.

In fact, Emperor Hongzhi didn't know the truth that if you don't fight, you can't make a weapon?

But after all, there is always a need to have vivid examples in front of you to be more credible.

Now Fang Jifan provided an irrefutable example, those three scholars, didn't they become talents?

He carefully put away the whip, which was regarded as having completed a matter of his heart. Looking at Fang Jifan again, I thought of all the evil deeds of this guy, so he said with a straight face: "You can't go to the house to expose the roof tiles anymore. You are Nanhe's uncle, and I have also given you a golden belt. The words and deeds of your Fang family are also the same. It represents the face of the imperial court, you know?"

Fang Jifan was ashamed, he wanted to say yes, but when he thought about it carefully, no, if he agreed all at once, he would not look like a prodigal. If so, would His Majesty suspect that he was pretending to be crazy?

He thought about it, and decided to follow this prodigal son's way to the dark.

Of course, Fang Jifan is not stupid.

The reason why he dared to bargain was because he studied the history of the Ming Dynasty and had already figured out the temper of Emperor Hongzhi. This emperor was too lenient.

If it were Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, or Zhu Houcong, Fang Jifan would definitely pretend to be his grandson to the end.

He said with a smile: "I'm still young, and occasionally mess around seven or eight times a year. In fact... it's not a big deal."

"..." The expression on Emperor Hongzhi's face froze instantly. In this life, it seemed that he had never met anyone who bargained with him.

Hey... It really is the rumored prodigal son.

Seven or eight times?

Emperor Hongzhi put on a serious face again: "At most three times, otherwise, I will never forgive you!"

Fang Jifan was overjoyed as if he had received an amnesty: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan. Fang Jifan admired him a little, but at the same time, he felt a little pity. Immediately, he stood up from the official hat chair, keeping his hand on the whip full of tendons, Indifferently said: "Remember, at most three times, otherwise I will use this whip to beat you! Your father is not willing to beat you, I am willing!"

To Fang Jifan, this understatement carried a deep chill.

Dare to feel that I am shooting myself in the foot with a stone!

Emperor Hongzhi had already left, he seemed unwilling to let anyone know that he had been to Fang's house, and he came here specially to see this prodigal son, to put it bluntly, if it spreads, it would be shameful!

So he walked quickly and said: "Remember what I said, go back to the palace."

Then he was out of the study room like a star-studded moon, Fang Jifan quickly chased him out, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty..." He suddenly realized his slip of the tongue, and quickly corrected him: "Doctor, go slowly, come often when you are free... ..."

Emperor Hongzhi returned to the palace without saying a word, but the whip he brought from Fang's family was still being held in his hand and rubbed.

Fang Jifan's words have been imprinted in his mind all the time, it seems... quite reasonable.

Moreover, Fang Jifan's pearls and jades are ahead, and there are already successful precedents.

This is simply a role model and a model in advance.

He arrived at the Nuan Pavilion and sat down. The medical officer's clothes were still on his body, so he didn't look graceful, but he was a little more bookish.

But the moment he frowned, a hostility was revealed.

Zhu Houzhao was uneasy all the way back. He smelled a dangerous breath, and seeing his father like this, he hurriedly said: "Father, I remembered that I haven't greeted my mother today. Retire for now."

He turned around and wanted to leave, and walked a few steps quickly, but suddenly there was a voice behind him: "Come back!"

Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt himself

His back is full of horror.

He turned around with great difficulty and looked at his father, who had a calm face.

Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "Recently, what you have studied is "Chunguan Zongbo" in the Book of Rites. Listen to me."

Zhu Houzhao didn't remember a single word. In fact, when Master Yang was teaching, he had a dream of spring and autumn, so he stammered: "My son... my son..."

"Can't recite it?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at him coldly and said.

Zhu Houzhao quickly prostrated himself on the ground: "My son, next time..."

"Do you want to have a next time?" Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt that, as Fang Jifan said, regardless of whether this method is effective for his son, it does have the effect of healing his own psychology. At least now, Emperor Hongzhi feels very relaxed and comfortable.

He clapped the whip in the palm of his hand, squinted his eyes, and looked at Zhu Houzhao with a half-smile.

Zhu Houzhao shouted: "Father, don't listen to Fang Jifan's nonsense."

"It's too late! Kneel down for me!"

Aww...

Outside the Nuan Pavilion, there was a wailing sound, and Liu Qian, who was guarding outside, was terrified when he heard it.

This wailing lasted for a while, before Emperor Hongzhi sternly said: "Come here!"

Liu Qian rushed in in fear, and saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince prostrate on the ground with a few whip marks on his back. It was really shocking. Liu Qian didn't dare to look carefully, so he quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is here, what are your orders?" ?”

Emperor Hongzhi put the whip on the imperial case casually, as if nothing happened, and said indifferently: "Declaration, Nanhe Bozi Fang Jifan was the first in the review and was awarded the golden belt. To serve the imperial court, order him to be the chief banner officer of the Habayashi Guards, and to enter the palace..."

When Emperor Hongzhi said this, he paused intentionally, and after pondering for a while, he said again: "His duty is to patrol Zhan Shifu."

Liu Qian hurriedly said wittily: "Your maid obeys the order."

Habayashi Guard is one of the twenty-six guards of the pro-army. Like the Jinwu Guard, they are the most trusted pro-military of the royal family, and their duty is to guard the safety of the patrol palace. Only the most trustworthy people are qualified. Make it up.

Therefore, being able to join the Habayashi guard and the pro-military guard is almost the best choice for all honored children with mixed qualifications.

On the other hand, Jin Yiwei, regardless of his great power and the qualifications to enter the palace, seems to be more glamorous than Habayashi Wei and the pro-military guards. I know that Jinyiwei is used to do dirty work in the palace. Only some ordinary children of good families are willing to rely on Jinyiwei to get ahead. The noble children want to be safe, who wants to provoke this kind of meat?

As for the other guards, most of them were guarding the periphery of the imperial palace or the gates of the palace city. Compared with the guards such as Jin Wuwei and Habayashi Guards who personally guarded the royal family, they were much worse.
