Guo Tianyang laughed secretly in his heart.
This is Fang Zhengyi's classic good job. This is called transferring conflicts!
He has played tricks on our family several times in Taoyuan County before, but this time he used this trick on Mr. Ge, and it was like he didn’t want to die!
Do you really think that by saying a few nice words and wearing a few top hats, His Majesty can help you to suppress Mr. Zhang?
I want to eat shit!
I saw Zhang Dongxiang trembling with anger: "Well... what a eloquent person! When did I ever say that Your Majesty is unsage!"
"Praising him to his face is not the way of a gentleman! If someone like you is to teach the prince, the country will be ruined. Your Majesty knows this!"
Li Yansong and Zheng Qiao couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
Mr. Zhang is good at everything, but he is too straight-tempered and too impulsive. This guy gets excited after just a few words of provocation.
In terms of eloquence, I'm afraid he is far inferior to the cunning Fang Zhengyi in front of him.
As soon as Fang Zheng walked up to Zhang Dongxiang, he looked directly at him and said, "Mr. Zhang, why do you flatter me in person? Doesn't Mr. Zhang think that the official is not speaking from his heart!?"
"Fang Zhengyi, I always express my feelings directly. Whatever I think in my heart, I say it with my mouth."
"His Majesty is a unique and great man in the eyes of my subordinates! A great man! An emperor through the ages!"
"The military can control the world on horseback, and the literary can dismount and control floods! Your Majesty is like the sun hanging high in the sky, so bright and outstanding!"
"Although I am far away from you, I am always worried about Your Majesty! My only hobby in daily life is to raise a glass to the moon to express my feelings for you!"
"Now that I can see the beauty of the sky and show my admiration, how could I be wrong!!"
"Could it be that! I, the senior officials of Dajing Kingdom, can no longer tolerate any ministers telling the truth?"
"Can this world get better? How can we, the loyal ministers who are humble and outspoken and dare to remonstrate, live in such a life that you will be satisfied? Thinking of this, I shed tears of dissatisfaction. Is the court so dark? Angry, Shivering, cold."
After speaking, Fang Zhengyi pretended to wipe away his tears, covered his face with his sleeves, and sobbed.
Zhang Dongxiang's eyes widened, his chest heaved up and down, and he was already a little unsteady on his feet. Fortunately, Zheng Qiao was supporting him behind him.
Pointing at Fang Zhengyi with one finger, he said hastily: "You...you...you...!"
The officials were silent.
If a person is a little shameless, you can still condemn him, but if his face is full of shamelessness, you can only avoid him.
This is the situation now.
Seeing that Fang Zhengyi was not only not ashamed but also proud, and praised His Majesty every word, everyone could only remain silent.
Even the always sharp-tongued Yan Guan was unwilling to come out and say a word, what to say! What more can be said! ? He didn't commit a crime! It's just a disgrace in front of the palace!
Moral condemnation? This guy has no morals!
I originally thought I was going to welcome a rising star in the court, but instead a bedbug came, and now I can’t chase him away, and I’m trembling with anger!
Emperor Jing also felt extremely numb at this moment!
Such shameless and fair praise actually made him feel a little bit useful...
But seeing Zhang Dongxiang's extremely angry performance, Emperor Jing still put on a straight face and said angrily: "Fang Zhengyi, you are so impudent! Why don't you step down quickly! Mr. Zhang is a veteran of two dynasties, how can you allow you to talk nonsense in front of him!"
As soon as Fang Zheng put down his sleeves, he hurriedly took two steps back, and then said excitedly: "My emperor is a wise man! Emperors of all dynasties have been eager to add glory to themselves, writing about their achievements and immersing themselves in the flattery of their ministers. Only My emperor actually stays awake all the time and is only willing to accept criticism. As the saying goes, I have to reflect on myself three times a day! Your Majesty is able to reflect on yourself all the time, which is tantamount to reaching the realm of a saint! I am really impressed by this!"
Hearing this, Zhang Dongxiang gasped even more: "I...I...I..."
Emperor Jing: "............"
The flesh on Guo Tianyang's face had been trembling just now, and it was trembling even more now... as if it was equipped with a small vibrating motor.
How terrible! horrible! This Fang Zhengyi actually exceeded our imagination...
Emperor Jing's heart was filled with an indescribable feeling, and he could only say lightly: "That's enough! Stop talking."
"My dear friends, does anyone have anything to say?"
"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"
Yan Guoan stood up and saluted Emperor Jing, then looked at Fang Zheng coldly and said, "I am the official of Zhan Shifu, Yan Guoan."
Fang Zheng felt a shiver in his heart, well, this should be a talker, more difficult to deal with than the old man.
"Your Majesty, the prince is the heir apparent and has little experience in the world."
"As a prince, you should naturally stay close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains. Loyal words are unpleasant to the ear and beneficial to action, and good medicine is bitter to the mouth and beneficial to disease. This is the truth of ancient times and modern times."
"If a flattering person like Fang Zhengyi surrounds the prince and calls him saintly and virtuous all day long, I will be afraid that the prince will lose himself."
"If you are in power in the future and you are surrounded by treacherous ministers and wolves, and you are unable to listen to loyal advice, it will endanger our great prosperity!"
"I am responsible for Zhan Shifu, teaching the prince the words of saints, and practicing the rituals of saints. If there are traitors around me, I am afraid that all my previous achievements will be wasted. Today, even if I am shattered to pieces! I must ask your majesty to remove Fang Zhengyi!"
The officials were in an uproar!
As expected of the Prince's Master, sonorous and powerful! It's reasonable and well-founded. It depends on whether you, Fang Zhengyi, die this time!
recall! ? What a great opportunity! Fang Zheng's eyes lit up and he became energetic!
Good riddance! After being dismissed and returned to Taoyuan County, it doesn't matter even if he is removed from his post as county magistrate! Taoyuan County is my foundation, even if someone else takes office, it will not affect me at all!
Sigh, I was so angry that I shouldn't have contradicted that old man just now. Wouldn't it be much easier to just follow him and remove myself from my position?
Emperor Jing began to have a headache. What he valued was Fang Zheng's unique thinking and wanted him to give the prince more inspiration.
I thought at first that Fang Zheng would be unpopular for a while, but I didn't expect that this guy was so mean-spirited and offended everyone when he came. How should I step down now...
Seeing that Emperor Jing was silent, Yan Guoan couldn't help but become a little anxious: "Your Majesty! If you let the treacherous ministers be in power, I'm afraid that the prince will develop a violent temper and not have a trace of benevolence! Your Majesty, please tell me clearly!"
Guo Tianyang's eyelids twitched and he secretly said, "Oh no."
The prince has no benevolent heart. Doesn’t your majesty know that? Are you talking too much here? !
Sure enough, Emperor Jing heard this and said calmly: "Yes, I understand."
After hearing this, all the officials were heartbroken.
knew? What does it mean to know? Judging from His Majesty’s attitude, he doesn’t want to touch Fang Zhengyi! What's so good about him?
Upon seeing this, Fang Zheng hurriedly prostrated and said, "Your Majesty! I think what Yan Zhan said is true. I have no virtue or talent! Please take back your order!"
What? !
The ministers were dumbfounded, what happened? This guy obviously has incredible fighting prowess, and His Majesty also wanted to take sides. Now he suddenly gave in. What happened! ?
Of course Emperor Jing knew what Fang Zhengyi was thinking, so he said coldly: "No!"
Fang Zheng secretly thought that he was going to die, and begged again: "I am not qualified to handle Shao Zhan's affairs. Moreover, I am not happy here and have caused a lot of trouble. Please take back my order!"
Emperor Jing frowned: "My golden words, you can just accept them if you want! No!"
Fang Zhengyi once again plucked up the courage and said loudly: "Please! Your Majesty, think again!"
What? What? What?
This time everyone was confused. It looked like Fang Zheng was determined to leave! His Majesty is determined to keep him, what is going on?
At this time, Zhang Dongxiang, who had calmed down, looked at Fang Zhengyi with a complicated expression. Why did this guy suddenly contradict the emperor?
Emperor Jing was really angry now!
You want to resign over and over again, just because you want to go back to Taoyuan County and be free! I won't let you get what you want!
Emperor Jing suddenly stood up, picked up the inkstone on the table and slammed it towards Fang Zhengyi's front.
The inkstone hit the ground, shattered into pieces, and ink splashed all over Fang Zheng.
Then I heard Emperor Jing say angrily: "Fang Zhengyi! If you dare to say one more word, I will chop off your head! Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking!"
"You have to do this Shao Zhan thing even if you do it! You have to do it even if you don't!"
"If you can't achieve results! I will chop off your head! Do you understand?"
"Retreat!"
After saying that, Emperor Jing threw away his sleeves angrily and left, and Guo Tianyang and the prince quickly followed.
Retreat...retreat from the court? This is the retreat! ? Why is Your Majesty so unusual today?
Everyone was stunned, and then all eyes focused on Fang Zhengyi again.
Yan Guoan glared at Fang Zhengyi, flicked his sleeves and left.
"Li Gong, what do you mean by your Majesty?" Zheng Qiao asked Li Yansong.
Li Yansong sighed: "Fang Zhengyi is retreating in order to advance. It's really a good trick. I'm afraid it won't stop in the future. Take good care of the prince, I'm leaving too!"
After saying that, he left the hall with his hands behind his back.
In the palace, Fang Zhengyi looked disappointed... As expected, Emperor Jing was unwilling to let go.
As soon as I got there, I offended all my colleagues, and bad days are just around the corner. Why does it start on hell difficulty every time I change the map? My Taoyuan County...when can I go home!
It was useless to think about it any more. Fang Zhengyi could only shake his head and walked out of the hall lonely.
When he arrived at the entrance of the hall, looking at the rising sun, Fang Zhengyi just wanted to smoke a cigarette and drink a glass of wine to relieve his depression. Unfortunately, he had neither cigarettes nor wine.
"Master Fang, is he good at it?" A teasing voice came from his ears.
Fang Zheng turned his head to look expressionlessly.
A petty official with sly eyebrows was talking to him, and said to him in a strange tone: "Master Fang's trick of turning retreat into advance is wonderful. No wonder he has won the trust of your majesty."
"Who are you?"
The stern eyebrows and rat eyes said loudly: "I, Hanlin, compiled Yang Fengfan!"
"He~tUi!" Fang Zhengyi was too lazy to pay attention to him and spat directly on Yang Fengfan's boots.
Yang Fengfan was immediately shocked, jumped back a step, and said angrily: "Why are you so rude! It's so insulting to gentlemen!"
"Your Excellency, your appearance is already disgraceful. Please stay away from me."
Someone beside him couldn't help laughing when he heard Fang Zheng's words. He thought to himself that this man was really sharp-tongued and unforgiving at all.
Yang Fengfan sarcastically said: "Fang Zhanshi is really calm and composed. He has offended everyone and is still enjoying himself here?"
Fang Zheng glanced at him and said, "How dare you, a mere sixth-grade editor, act so arrogantly like me? Is there anyone above me?"
Yang Fengfan immediately became alert: "Who?"
Fang Zheng chuckled: "Of course it's Eunuch Guo who is beside the emperor. He is my dearest relative and close friend. He eats while I pick up the food!"
"Do you still want to do this editing thing? If you do, get out of here!"
Yang Fengfan suddenly realized that this was the case! This is Fang Zhengyi's confidence. No wonder the emperor takes such good care of him! It must be Guo Yi who blew wind in His Majesty’s ear!
This man is so shameless. As a scholar, he associates with eunuchs!
Yang Fengfan felt even more disdainful, but was frightened by Eunuch Guo's lust and left in despair.
Fang Zhengyi doesn't want to stay here anymore. There is no one from the Ministry of Etiquette to arrange for him. He doesn't know where to open the door to the East Palace, so he might as well go home!
After thinking about it, he lifted his legs and left.
Not far away, Guo Tianyang caught up with him with small steps, shouting behind Fang Zhengyi: "Magistrate Fang, wait a minute! Please stay!"
Fang Zheng turned around and saw him one by one, and quickly put on a smile: "Yo! Brother Guo!"
Guo Tianyang's expression froze, Brother Guo? Who is your brother Guo? What a shameless thing!
But to avoid hitting the smiling person, Guo Tianyang still greeted him with a smiling face.
"Hey, congratulations to Fang Zhanshi! Congratulations to Fang Zhanshi! His Majesty summoned you privately and is now waiting for you in the imperial study!"
Fang Zheng smiled, took Guo Tianyang's arm and walked towards a crowded place.
He quietly took out a two hundred tael silver note from his pocket and stuffed it into Guo Tianyang's sleeve.
"Brother Guo, why did your Majesty summon you?"
Guo Tianyang pushed it out calmly and said with a smile: "Our family doesn't know either. Can't you just go there now?"
Fang Zhengyi took out another five hundred note and stuffed it in again: "Aren't I afraid of offending His Majesty? After all, I just arrived in the palace and I don't understand the rules!"
Guo Tianyang touched the grain of the bank note and nodded secretly: "Yeah, it's actually okay. I just gave Fang Zhan some instructions."
"It's about Fang Zhan. We still have something to do here. Look, there's a young eunuch there. Just ask him to take you there."
"Hey! Okay, thank you, Brother Guo." After speaking, Fang Zhengyi stuffed the two hundred taels back into Guo Tianyang's sleeve.
Then, he turned around and left.
Guo Tianyang touched the two banknotes in his sleeves, looked at Fang Zhengyi's back and nodded with satisfaction.
OK! This person can handle it! You might as well be a godson to us!
...
Following the little eunuch's guidance, Fang Zhengyi arrived at the imperial study room smoothly.
As soon as Fang Zheng was at the door, he cleared his throat, tucked his shirt tightly and began to wait for the summons.
Not long after, Emperor Jing's voice sounded, and Fang Zhengyi entered the room smoothly.
Entering the imperial study, Emperor Jing buried himself in writing official documents without saying a word.
Fang Zhengyi stood in the room awkwardly, not daring to move his head, but his eyes moved around.
Royal study room! Still very curious.
After waiting for a stick of incense, Emperor Jing drank three cups of tea before slowly putting down his brush.
Looking directly at Fang Zhengyi: "Fang Zhengyi, do you know..."
"My lord! I am guilty!"
After speaking, he took out a bunch of messy banknotes from his chest and held them in both hands.
This wave! This wave is called preemptive strike!
Although Fang Zhengyi didn't know that Li Long was Emperor Jing in advance, since Emperor Jing sent spies to Taoyuan County, he must know a lot, so the money had already been divided among himself! Just waiting for you to ask!
Fang Zhengyi said respectfully: "This is the surplus generated by Taoyuan County in seven years, totaling 86,524 taels. The guilty minister Fang Zhengyi, please clarify!"
At this moment, he felt a little uneasy in his heart...he should be able to believe that these numbers are both odd and round.
...
