It was not a resentful and excited reply, nor was it a perfunctory response to Tang Fan and pretending to behave.

I believe the little prince has thought about this answer carefully.

Many people are as disappointed with the mediocre and inaction court today, as they have the greatest expectations for the future prince.

Tang Fan couldn't describe the feeling of comfort in his heart when he heard the prince's answer.

At that moment, he felt that he and Wang Zhi risked offending the imperial concubine to help conceal Yuanliang's affairs and avoid involving the prince. All this was worth it.

An ordinary person is full of hatred and is not afraid of going astray. At best, he will end up with Han Hui. But if a king is also full of resentment, then the unlucky one will be the creatures in the world.

On the other hand, a monarch who is always tolerant and has a broad mind will be a blessing for the Ming Dynasty and the world.

Tang Fan is not a sentimental person who likes to be sad and sad in spring and autumn, but this does not mean that he likes to see dead people. So every time he handles a case, although the arrest of the real murderer is enough to be gratifying, the death of the deceased is irreversible.

However, this time, he sighed because Han Zao died in vain and finally felt a sense of comfort.

He explained the meaning of the prince's poem to Wang Zhi and said, "It is a blessing for the country to have such a crown prince!"

Wang Zhi did not argue that he was a eunuch, so he naturally had to consider completely different things from civil servants like Tang Fan.

For him, it was still a long time for the prince to ascend the throne. What he had to do now is to quickly make some other contributions and repay them. Otherwise, even if the emperor and the imperial concubine did not hold him accountable for the bad ending this time, Shang Ming from the Dongchang side would use this matter to suppress him, which was untolerable for Eunuch Wang.

He said to Tang Fan: "There have been many chaos in the south of the Yangtze River recently, and the northern desert is not peaceful. In your opinion, I think it is better to go south or north?"

The East Palace case has been concluded. With the relationship between the two of them now being enemies and friends, as long as there is no major conflict of interest, they will not completely turn against each other. Therefore, Wang Zhi would ask Tang Fan about his opinion, and Tang Fan was not surprised. After all, this means that the other party affirms his ability and vision.

Besides, Wang Zhi is born different from other eunuchs.

Normal men generally have only a few pursuits, to wake up and hold the power of the world, and to lie drunk on the beautiful knees.

The pursuit behind is not destined to be with eunuchs, so many eunuchs have loved to play with power throughout history, and they pursue the pleasure of holding power.

But others usually take power in the inner palace, such as the Twelve Prisons of the Ming Dynasty, the Sili Prison and the Imperial Male Prison. One has the power to criticize the royal family and specializes in acting as the intermediary between the emperor and the ministers and the emperor's ghostwriter. The other is related to military power, which is the two most jealous and robbed of the heads.

There are also some specialties in each department, including the first place to print and the second place to write.

Currently, the eunuch in charge of the seal is Huai'en, and the Imperial Horse Supervisor is Liang Fang. Although Shang Ming and Wang Zhi were in charge of the East and West Factory respectively, because their qualifications were not as good as the above two, they could only be eunuchs on the pen and could not be pen seals.

Shang Ming, the admiral of the East Factory, is currently the main job to expand the East Factory business. He is fighting with Wang Zhi while being positive, hoping to take over the position of Huai'en or Liang Fang one day.

But Wang Zhizhi felt that his situation was too small, and he would do a big vote if he wanted to do it. He would stay in the small place of the inner palace all day long, would he be frustrated or not?

So he turned his attention to the vast world outside.

When the Ming army fought, there was a tradition that they would usually send an internal official to serve as a military supervisor in order to act as the emperor's eyes and ears, so as not to be furious and play the emperor with a fool.

Since the Tumu Fort Incident, the Oirat, which once posed a great threat to the Ming Dynasty, gradually became weaker. The forces in that grassland often broke up and merged and changed rulers. The Central Plains dynasty was unknown. In short, the Oirats were no longer able to do so. Another tribe called Tatars rose up, but the internal chaos continued. Anyway, you don’t accept me, I don’t accept you. Everyone fights in internal affairs and each has their own rulers.

But this does not prevent them from harassing the Ming Dynasty's borders. Everyone has different class positions. The Ming Dynasty thinks that the Tatars are barbarians and often come to burn, kill and loot. The Tatars think that the Ming Dynasty is a fat sheep, and they don't rob them of nothing or rob them of nothing.

At this time, there was a very vast area on the south bank of the Yellow River from Ningxia to Shanxi, called Hetao. The water and plants are fertile and the products are abundant, but they are easy to attack and difficult to defend. If you want to guard this place, the Ming Dynasty would have to spend a lot of energy, while the Oirats or Tatars could always easily invade. Therefore, at that time, Emperor Yongle Zhu Di moved Dongshengwei inward, which was equivalent to being forced to give up the defense of this place.

But the problem arises. Without a buffer zone, the Tatars rushed in and occupied the Hetao area and directly attacked the important border towns of the Ming Dynasty. They took advantage of this and often plundered the border towns of the Ming Dynasty.

If this happened during the period of Emperor □□ or Emperor Yongle, it would be easy to deal with. His Majesty was arbitrary and waved his hand and rushed to the north. He would beat the Tatars out, making them cry and cry and dare not come again.

But now it is the Chenghua period. The Ming army, which has experienced the Tumu Fort Incident, understands what fear is. The army is not as morale as in the early days of its founding, and it is invincible. In addition, the ministers in the court...

Well, those ministers who don’t want to work don’t have to expect that they will have the ambition to attack Tatars and regain Hetao.

Besides, there is no chaos in the south now. However, in the rich areas of Jiangnan, bandits are rampant, officials and businessmen colluded, and corrupt officials are also many. If the leaders above do not work, the people below will naturally just live a casual life. The salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty are still notoriously low. If you want everyone to work as desperately as they were at the beginning of the founding of the country, then don’t even think about it.

Also, in the southwest, more than a year ago, the Miao people in Songpan were rebelled because they could not bear the oppression of local officials. Although they were suppressed later and many people were cut off, the area was still not very peaceful. People like Eunuch Wang who were afraid of the world's chaos were naturally ready to move, hoping that there would be another rebellion there so that he could also go over and make contributions.

Wang Zhi wanted to make contributions, but he disdained to fight with Shang Ming for trivial matters, so he set his sights on these two places.

Tang Fan previously gave Wang Zhi the advice of "military merits, the East Palace" through Pan Bin's mouth, allowing him to put his eyes on it and develop a good relationship with the prince. It was precisely because he saw Wang Zhi's restless personality.

Now when Wang Zhi asked, Tang Fan naturally could not keep him in hiding, and said directly: "North."

Wang Zhi asked: "Why?"

Tang Fan said: "There is no chaos in the south now. If those corrupt officials did not have major cases, the court would not pay attention to it. Even if the factory went over and arrested a few to establish their authority and killed a chicken to warn the monkey, Your Majesty would not think that you made a great contribution."

What Tang Fan didn't say was that if a powerful eunuch like Wang Zhi went to a place, it would be a mess. Everyone rushed to curry favor with him. It would be better to harm foreigners. If they could earn some land for the Ming Dynasty, it would be even better.

Wang Zhi's color was revealed: "Yes, I think so too. If you want to play, play bigger. Just catch some small fish and shrimps. It's better not to do it. Now Tatars often disturb the border. If Hetao can be recovered, it will be a brilliant achievement."

Tang Fan hurriedly said: "It will take only one day to recover Hetao. Please think twice. If you can teach the Tatars some lessons and prevent them from easily invading the border, you will make a great contribution to our Ming Dynasty!"

Wang Zhi was not comfortable with his long-winded words: "Okay, you are not a general, and you have only a little understanding of these things, so there is no need to say more."

Tang Fan: "..."

Then you asked me what I was doing, it was just a matter of trying to find a sense of identity?

Wang Zhi said: "I will submit a memorial request to recover Hetao on a date."

Tang Fan couldn't help but said in a slutty way: "What should we make a bet?"

Wang Zhi: "What bet?"

Tang Fan said: "Your proposal to regain Hetao will definitely not be approved."

Wang Zhi didn't believe it: "The people in the court naturally were timid and dared not send troops, but I was quite good at speaking in front of His Majesty. If I asked myself to lead the troops, His Majesty would agree."

Old God Tang Fan is here: "Then I will make a bet with Mr. Wang."

Wang Zhi was younger than him, so he was naturally aroused by his competitive spirit. He heard this and said, "Okay, what is the lottery?"

Tang Fan said: "If I win, you can invite me to Xianyun Pavilion for a meal. The last crab roe and tofu soup was delicious!"

Wang Zhi: "...you won't go by yourself?" Do you still have to bet?

Tang Fan said innocently: "My salary is not enough!"

Wang Zhi: "..."
