    Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan, silent for a long time, as if he wanted to see something on Fang Jifan's face.

    After a while, he snorted coldly: "You two are really the same as each other! Today you are scolding me! I just wanted to see what you said about the unity of knowledge and action, about understanding the sufferings of the people.  , then let me see how you resettle the refugees."

    I finally stopped worrying about it in the first half, but now As expected, I finally have to start testing the results.

    Zhu Houzhao was not idle either, and looked at each other with Fang Jifan.

    Immediately afterwards, the two of them each took out a stack of documents from their sleeves.

    so much¡­¡­

    This is so eloquent that it probably contains a hundred thousand words.

    The anger on Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s face had not dissipated, but he was stunned when he saw the documents that Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao took out.

    What is this?

    "Get it" Emperor Hongzhi said solemnly.

    The prince just spoke plausibly, and he said it happily. Since you are happy, then that's fine. Let's take a look at how you are helping the victims in Xishan. If you can't handle things well, you still like to make noises. If I don't take care of you today, I will  I can't swallow this breath.

    At this time, Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly and said: "Father, this is not right."

    Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong?"

    Zhu Houzhao said seriously: "The reason why I criticized my father just now was because of the personal relationship between father and son! But the relief of the refugees was a mission promised by my father to my son. So, it is official business, why don't you call the cabinet scholar to see you?  , discuss it together?¡±

    "" Emperor Hongzhi was also convinced.

    Fang Jifan actually admired Zhu Houzhao's temperament of not being afraid of death. At this time, he smiled honestly at Emperor Hongzhi, hoping to resolve his hatred.

    However, it seems that Emperor Hongzhi ignored him.

    This is a bit embarrassing.

    Emperor Hongzhi glared at Zhu Houzhao and said: "You are not afraid of embarrassment, but I am afraid of embarrassment. Okay, it's all up to you. Come and summon the cabinet ministers to see you!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    At this time, at the Ministry of War, a report from Quanzhou was delivered to the desk of Ma Wensheng, the Minister of War.

    Ma Wensheng is living a good life these days. At least the voyage to the West has been finalized, and naturally it is completely led by the Ministry of War!

    Now the vanguard fleet of the Ministry of War has been at sea for more than a month. After they come back and confirm that the position on the chart is correct, they will then start to build more ships and train more sailors and helmsmen.  It will replicate the grand occasion like that of Emperor Wen!

    Just thinking about it made Ma Wensheng quite excited.

    In any case, once the voyage to the West became an important national policy, the status of the Ministry of War in the Six Ministries would naturally increase. The voyage to the West required a large amount of money and food, which was naturally controlled by the Ministry of War. It also required the recruitment of a large amount of manpower and skilled craftsmen. These  It all means that the authority of the Ministry of War is about to expand.

    The most important thing is that Fang Jifan, that crow-mouthed man, finally went to Xishan with the prince, and there was no news for more than two months.

    This feelingis not bad.

    In the past, whenever that guy made some remarks, the Ministry of War would get upset. Now that Fang Jifan has finally stopped, it is really a pleasant thing.

    Today, he was on duty as usual and had nothing to do, but when a clerk hurriedly delivered the report from Quanzhou to his desk

    His brows furrowed deeply!

    I saw it written on it: "Wang Qing, the prefect of Quanzhou, reported: Recently, there was a sea patrol in the outer sea, and a sailor was found floating on a broken ship sampan. He had been drifting at sea for several days. The patrol rescued him and brought him to the record.  Only then did we know that the fleet of the Ministry of War was hundreds of miles overseas"

    The fleet was destroyed!

    After Ma Wensheng read the report in detail, he suddenly shuddered.

    The entire military fleet was completely destroyed!

    They followed the original navigation route and headed south. They originally planned to go south along the coast of Annan Kingdom and then stop at Champa.

    According to the report of the rescued crew member, their fleet ran aground a few days after setting sail. The original route marked on the chart was completely wrong. The islands that were supposed to have fresh water did not have fresh water, and there was even a shortage of fresh water.  And the reef that shouldn't have appeared appeared.

    So, the ship was penetrated by the reef, two ships were seriously damaged, and the remaining ship was in a dilemma. It planned to go all the way west, using the only fresh water to maintain the minimum supplies for the people on board, and reach the country of Annan.Let's get along with each other. In this case, it would be inconvenient for these foreign ministers to disturb the gathering of His Majesty and the Prince and his son.

    As soon as he saw Ma Wensheng coming in a hurry, Liu Jian felt that something was wrong.

    ¡° If it¡¯s just an ordinary matter, just send someone to deliver a note with a message. Why does Ma Wensheng need to go in person?

    But as soon as he saw Liu Jian, Ma Wensheng knelt down with a snap.

    He burst into tears and cried.

    "Mr. Liu, something big has happened. I have been serving as Minister of the Ministry of War. Since I took office, my body has been lying on its back, like an old dog. It only lives and breathes. Not only has I not repaid the favor in the palace, but it has caused a huge disaster. This is  The officer¡¯s negligence"

    Liu Jian¡¯s heart skipped a beat, it must be a big deal!

    Even Xie Qian and Li Dongyang, who heard the news, came after hearing the news and looked at the embarrassed Ma Wensheng with horror on their faces.

    Liu Jian, however, could still maintain his composure. He said with a solemn expression: "What happened? No matter what happens, what's the use of crying? You go ahead and report it."

    Ma Wensheng entered the memorial without saying a word.

    Liu Jian took it and opened it. The expression of this veteran, who had experienced several dynasties, completely changed.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
