Even Zhu Yuanzhang admires his character.

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang did not really send him to a remote rural area, but made him the prefect of Fengyang.

After all, Fengyang is the capital of Zhongdu, and as the prefect of Zhongdu, he seems to be in a normal position, but in fact he has been secretly promoted.

Moreover, the Central Capital is about to be completed, and moving the capital in the future will also be a meritorious service.

If he is to be promoted in the future, he will not be the Minister of Taichang Temple. He will probably be either a senior member of the Sixth Ministry or a second-grade civil servant.

It is not impossible to go further to Zhongshu Province.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jun retracted his thoughts.

When he learned that Fang Keqin was arriving in Fengyang today, he also came to the road ahead of time to show his respect.

Zhu Jun doesn't mind being polite and virtuous to those who are truly talented and capable.

He also wants to win Fang Keqin over to his side, which will be of great use in the future!

When Fang Xiaozhi saw that Zhu Jun valued his father so much, he was extremely grateful. However, he did not say anything, but kept everything silently in his heart.

Li Jiba squinted his eyes and saw a person appearing in front of him. To be precise, he was a middle-aged man wearing a plain gown.

The man rode a donkey and came slowly towards this side, "Xiao Fang, look at it, is that the prefect Fang?"

Fang Xiaozhi took a closer look and was overjoyed, "Exactly!"

Zhu Jun also stood up. After a while, the middle-aged man approached, and Fang Xiaozhi ran over all the way, his eyes red, "Dad!"

Fang Keqin trembled when he looked at his son, whom he had not seen for many days, and quickly got off the donkey, "Xiaozhi, son, you have been wronged!"

Fang Xiaozhi knelt on the ground and said with red eyes: "My child is not wronged!"

"Get up!" Fang Keqin quickly helped him up. He, who was usually not good at expressing himself, hugged his son heavily.

If it weren't for his son, he would still be a corrupt official, and the stigma attached to him, Fang Kaqin, would never be cleared away in his lifetime.

Seeing that his son was no longer as childish as before, he understood what he had been through these days, "By the way, how did you know I was coming today?"

"His Royal Highness King Wu said that, he sent people to protect you secretly along the way!" Fang Xiaozhi wiped his eyes, sniffed, pointed not far away and said: "Look, His Highness King Wu came here in person.

Picking you up!”

Looking in the direction of his son's finger, Fang Keqin was moved. He handed the reins to his son and ran over quickly.

He, Fang Kachin, is honest and upright, but he is not ungrateful.

When he arrived in Beijing, he received a letter from his son and learned the whole story. He felt extremely grateful to Zhu Jun in his heart.

Moreover, during these days in the capital, he also heard a lot of information about King Wu. Knowing that King Wu had single-handedly fed hundreds of thousands of victims, he was filled with admiration.

He also deliberately brought Fang Xiaozhi with him to help him prepare for his studies, and promised him to join Enke in two years. How could the Fang family repay this kindness?

As he trotted up to Zhu Jun, Fang Keqin knelt down on the ground without even thinking, "Fang Keqin, a humble minister, would like to thank His Highness the King of Wu. There is no way I can repay you for your great kindness. In the future, as long as I am driven, Fang Keqin is willing to go through fire and water!"

Zhu Jun hurriedly stepped forward and offered support: "Prefect Fang, get up quickly!"

Fang Keqin had been thinking about thanking Zhu Jun on the way, but looking at Zhu Jun, he forgot all the words he had organized.

Just looking at Zhu Jun, his face was filled with gratitude.

"It's been a hard journey. I've prepared some wine and three or two side dishes in the city. Let's have a nice drink later.

I have also admired the other governor for a long time, and this time I have to ask for advice on anything I say!" Zhu Jun held his hand, with a smile on his face, and he came up with these stupid words easily.

There is no point in giving money to such a pure and honest person, the only thing is to make him feel respected and valued.

As the saying goes, a scholar will die for a confidant.

Fang Keqin is this kind of person.

"It's not hard, I thank Your Highness for taking care of me all the way!" After saying that, Fang Keqin was about to kneel down again, but Zhu Jun held him firmly, "Okay, don't kneel down all the time, I don't have that kind of rules!"

Fang Keqin also felt warm in his heart. When he entered Beijing, the officials arranged for someone to accompany him.

But Fang Keqin said: "Under the rule of the Holy Emperor, how can there be danger?"

So one man and one donkey took some food and headed towards Fengyang.

He also felt some danger several times along the way, but he didn't think about it. Looking back now, he thought it was Zhu Jun's people who were secretly protecting him.

He was extremely grateful.

Thinking of this, he cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I will obey your orders!"

"Don't be a coward, you are a coward. Let's go and follow me into the city!"

Zhu Jun held his hand and didn't let go.

Entering Fengyang City, Fang Xiaozhi has been introducing the situation in Fengyang to his father, "Now the Niujiaoshan Cemetery has been built, and more than 3,000 victims have been buried.

The Disaster Memorial Hall in the city has also been completed, and people go there to burn incense every day.

Your Highness will keep all the people who were rescued in the Zhongdu Palace, and will also start the construction of a new fourteenth square to give the people a place to live, and it will be completed in the spring of next year."

Hearing this, Fang Keqin was in awe, "His Royal Highness is unparalleled in his loyalty to his friends and brothers, and he is gentle and gentle to the people. He is a wise king who has not been seen in thousands of years."

In this life, Fang Keqin did not respect the powerful, but respected the virtuous.

It is a blessing for a great cause to have His Highness, and a blessing for the people!"

Zhu Jun felt quite happy to receive such heartfelt compliments from Fang Keqin, "I just did what I should do, and that's how I am virtuous?"

To be loyal to your friends and be gentle to the people is your duty as a human being and the responsibility of your identity."

Seeing that Zhu Jun did not accept the credit, but acted as if he should take it for granted, Fang Keqin could not help but feel that Zhu Jun's ideas were too similar to his.

Yes, loyalty to friends is the moral principle of life.

Being good to the people is what a prince should do.

It is only because people's hearts are old and their morals are corrupt that this kind of purity is even more admirable.

"Fang Keqin, in the future you should use His Highness as a mirror and reflect on yourself at all times!"

"Haha, Magistrate Fang, it's over!" Zhu Jun laughed.

"No, in the past, when a minor official did a good deed for the people in the area he was in charge of, he would feel complacent. When the people said something good, he felt that he had done a great thing.

Now, compared with His Highness, he is really not even worthy of carrying shoes." Fang Keqin said seriously.

"Don't do good deeds because they are small, and don't do them because they are small. Just remember this sentence, that's enough!" Zhu Jun said.

As soon as these words came out, Fang Keqin froze on the spot, carefully savoring the meaning of this sentence.

Not only Fang Keqin, but also Fang Xiaozhi and even Li Jiba showed expressions of afterthought.

"It's a good saying: Don't do good deeds even if they are small, and don't do them even if they are bad. Your Highness's words go straight to the core of how to behave in the world!" After a while, Fang Keqin thought about it and bowed to Zhu Jun respectfully, "Fang Keqin
