Emperor Hongzhi smiled at Fang Jifan, but this smile seemed a bit meaningful, and he handed the memorial to Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing understood and handed over the impeachment memorial to Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan only glanced at it.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "The disciples of Fang Qing's family actually beat up the Shangguan. In addition, they also made a big disturbance in the Ministry of War. Now they are being impeached. I want to ask your opinion."

Both Ma Wensheng and Shen Wen looked at Fang Jifan without showing any emotion.

Fang Jifan said seriously: "Among the students, Xu Jing is the one with the worst qualifications."

"..."

This guy... looks like he wants to break his arm to survive...

But Fang Jifan continued: "But I think Xu Jing is right."

"What?" Emperor Hongzhi originally wanted to give Fang Jifan a step down. If you criticize Xu Jing verbally, and then obediently confess to him, isn't this matter over?

Fang Jifan said: "He is a disciple of my minister. I choose to believe in him and use my personality as a guarantee for him. Your Majesty, what if the document of the Ministry of War related to the West is really wrong? The imperial court will now go to the West at all costs. Once the ship Any problems with the team, especially any mistakes in the nautical charts, will lead to a huge disaster. In the vast sea, any mistakes, even if an island is wrongly marked, will be fatal. Yes, even the lives of many people. Therefore, I think that there is nothing wrong with my disciples."

"It's not wrong to beat the Shangguan?" Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan thought for a while and said: "His temper is a little hotter, but what if the facts prove that the minister's disciple is right? Then he didn't beat the Shangguan for no reason, but for the sake of the community and the court's big policy, he fought with mediocre officials It is an act of righteousness to be unyielding, and it is indeed His Majesty's fortune to have such an official in the Ming Dynasty, what a grand!"

"..."

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Ma Wensheng.

Ma Wensheng coughed and said, "There will never be any mistakes here at the Ministry of War..."

Fang Jifan immediately interrupted: "Is there anything wrong? If you don't try, how will you know? The imperial court wants to build a fleet, but it may take a few years for the fleet to be built. In this case, why not let people go to sea to explore the waterway first? Speaking of which, After all, I haven’t sailed to the West for nearly a hundred years in Ming Dynasty, so it’s really inappropriate to go to sea so rashly.”

go to sea...

Just like marching and fighting, you need a vanguard.

Here in the imperial court, a few sea-going ships can still be made up. Forming a small fleet and exploring the way first seems... also a safe way.

Emperor Hongzhi said thoughtfully, "What do Ma Qing's family think?"

"What Uncle Xinjian said is not unreasonable. You can try it. I suggest that the Ministry of War can collect a few sea-going ships and send people to go to sea, along the route of the Sanbao eunuch, and go to the Western Ocean first, as a test."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and couldn't help saying: "Look, isn't this very good, brainstorming, why are you arguing over such trivial matters? The unity of knowledge and action, haha, instead of arguing here, why not lean over and do it, Fang Qing's family , you and your disciples talk about the unity of knowledge and action every day, you see, isn’t that the case now? If you don’t try it, how will you know whether it’s good or bad?”

"..." Fang Jifan didn't bother to explain that the unity of knowledge and action has nothing to do with him, so just be shameless, what's wrong with me plagiarizing the knowledge achievements of his disciples, besides, it wasn't his intention, was it?

It's just... Emperor Hongzhi opened his mouth to say, "knowledge and action are one", but it made Shen Wen's eyebrows twitch, and he shuddered suddenly.

When did His Majesty start talking about these newly learned vocabulary?

However, Fang Jifan had a different suggestion for this matter: "Since it is a try, we should also send two teams of sea ships, one team can follow the sea route of Sanbao eunuch, and the other team can follow the sea route of the minister's disciple Xu Jing." .Otherwise, once the fleet of the Ministry of War sinks..."

"Uncle Xinjian!" Ma Wensheng interrupted Fang Jifan, you can't spit ivory out of your dog's mouth, the fleet of the Ministry of War sank... Huh, it's really deceiving!

Ma Wensheng couldn't help but said: "The imperial court has not gone to sea for many years. The warships that the Ministry of War can requisition are limited, but there are only three ships. I am afraid that it will be difficult to allocate ships to build a second fleet."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Ma Wensheng, and then at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan said: "The minister is also planning for the court. Isn't the dispute about this matter just on the air route? If you don't try all the air routes, then the controversy will never end. Your Majesty..."

"This..." Emperor Hongzhi felt quite a headache.

Ma Wensheng said sternly: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of War's capabilities are limited, but to go to sea, three seagoing ships are already stretched, and there can be no more, so the Ministry of War can only supply what the Ministry of War needs."

Emperor Hongzhi tapped the file with his fingers. Ma Wensheng's insistence was actually not unreasonable. After all, he hadn't gone to sea for so many years, and there were few seagoing ships. The only ones that could be recruited were a few old seagoing ships of the Wawei... So...

Fang Jifan, however, made up his mind to be relentless in this matter, he made his own opinion, and after he made it, your Ministry of War wanted to kick him away and go play on his own, which is unreasonable.

Fang Jifan said conveniently: "Actually, it's not impossible at all. The Governor's Office of the Five Armies banned some private merchant sea ships in Tianjin Wei. Why not..." Fang Jifan paused, and then said: "Let's use these private ships as vanguards. ..."

When Ma Wensheng heard this, he suddenly felt that Fang Jifan was a bit whimsical. Those private boats were no better than the only official large ships left by the imperial court.

, the official ship is huge, although it can't squeeze the big blessing boat of Emperor Wen, it is still extremely magnificent. There are also a lot of people who can be attached to the top, since they are going to the West in the name of the imperial court, only this kind of official ships can show the majesty of Ming Dynasty.

But you, Fang Jifan, went out with just a few private boats and hung the flag of Ming Dynasty, what the hell is this?

I am in the West in Ming Dynasty, and I used to be a respectable person. Can you Fang Jifan show some respect?

Ma Wensheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this private boat has a narrow hull, a deer head and mouse eyes, and thieves' eyebrows and mouse eyes. I think... if I sail under the flag of Ming Dynasty, it is inevitable..."

This sentence is considered to be on point.

Emperor Hongzhi is also a person who needs face.

Fang Jifan didn't care, you all want shame, but can I, Fang Jifan, be shameless?

Fang Jifan said conveniently: "It's easy, just requisition these private boats in the name of the Eastern Palace, without flying our Ming flag, and set sail in the name of Xishan, escorted by the minister's disciple Xu Jing himself, all supplies and personnel are provided by the Eastern Palace. Responsible for the selection, what does His Majesty think?"

"..."

Shen Wen had been listening silently, but now he slapped his thighs, his eyes lit up, and his face suddenly became brighter, and he said quickly: "This is a good idea. Uncle Xinjian's move has fulfilled the dignity of the court. , and set a precedent for voyages to the West, Uncle Xinjian is indeed worthy of resourcefulness, admiration! Admiration!"

It's really great that Xu Jing is also going to the West.

In this way, the Hanlin Academy will lose another scourge, which is not a joy.

Emperor Hongzhi also smiled, and said: "Then that's it, this matter is left to the crown prince and Fang Jifan."

Finally got the desired effect, Fang Jifan complied with the order with satisfaction.

…………

When coming out of the warm pavilion.

Ma Wensheng seemed very unhappy. His Majesty approved Fang Jifan's suggestion, which meant that he had no trust in the Ministry of War at all.

Although the Ministry of War has messed up some things in the past, doesn't it even have this little trust?

As Minister of the Ministry of War, he felt that His Majesty's trust in him had gradually been lost.

"Magong..."

Behind him, he heard someone calling him.

Ma Wensheng stopped, looked back, and saw Shen Wen chasing after him out of breath.

Ma Wensheng said with a livid face: "Mr. Shen, you...you...",

The implication is that I blame Shen Wenfang for supporting Fang Jifan's going to sea in front of the imperial court.

Going to the West is originally a matter of the Ministry of War, so what does it have to do with the East Palace? It's still using the signboard of Xishan... This... hey...

Shen Wen sneered and said: "Ma Gong, please forgive me, the old man has no choice but to do it, think about it, Xu Jing is a stunned young man, he beat up the superior in the Imperial Academy, everyone in the Imperial Academy is in danger , as a university scholar, the old man suppressed the matter, and people who didn’t know thought that the old man was afraid of Fang Jifan who was behind Xu Jing..."

"Why, isn't Mr. Shen afraid of Fang Jifan?" Ma Wensheng asked back, with a touch of irony in his words.

"..." Shen Wen was getting a little angry, and he didn't slap people in the face, so could he not be so direct.

"Hey..." Shen Wen finally suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, shook his head and said: "Now that kid Xu Jing can go to the sea, how great it is, it won't come back in a year or a half, all in all, this is not It’s a bad thing, Ma Gong calm down. But speaking of it, the old man is very worried about one thing. Just now, did you hear His Majesty mention the unity of knowledge and action? Ma Gong, could it be that His Majesty has learned something new recently? His Royal Highness is going to the West Mountain every now and then. Run, this is really worrying..."

Ma Wensheng looked very indifferent: "There is nothing to worry about. Since the Song Dynasty, there have been many new learnings, but can there be one who can replace Cheng Zhu? As long as Cheng Zhu is still in the imperial examination, all scholars in the world have to Hold Cheng Zhu to read, look, after a few days, isn’t it the township exam? The scholars who went to Xishan, I know some details, they are all scholars who have failed the exam, what’s the use if they fail the exam? If you fail the exam, you are nothing, at most you are a scholar, what is there to worry about?"

When Ma Wensheng said this, Shen Wen felt a little relieved.

That's right, to do stereotyped essays, you still have to use Cheng Zhu, and if you fail the exam, the new learning is just a game for some hopeless scholars to amuse themselves.

But when he talked about these things, he remembered one thing: "I wonder if Mr. Liu's young master will take the provincial examination this year? He has passed the exam five times, and he has passed Sun Shan. Hey, Mr. Liu is so lucky."
