As soon as these words came out, Emperor Jing stood up and said excitedly: "Okay!! Well said!! Fang Qing is really my hero."
"No, these are just my thoughts."
Fang Zheng grinned as soon as he finished speaking.
We have been looking for an opportunity to say these four sentences about Hengqu for a long time. If I, Fang Zhengyi, don’t pretend to be this batch, who else can do it?
The officials were stunned and looked at Fang Zhengyi with strange eyes.
This is so good! It is upright and awe-inspiring, and it expresses the scholar's ideal in one sentence.
But who said... It's not your turn, Fang Zhengyi. Don't you all know what kind of person you are? When he came up, he flattered His Majesty wildly.
With such a voluptuous figure, who among us can hold a Frisbee as fast as you? Why are you pretending to be a gentleman?
After looking at the faces of the audience, Emperor Jing felt a little embarrassed. He seemed to have been a little too excited just now.
I forgot that Fang Zhengyi was always unpopular in the court, and he seemed to want to hide in Taoyuan County all the time...
Thinking of this, Emperor Jing's face remained as usual, and he praised again: "What Fang Qing said is very good, and all the ministers should take this as an example."
After saying that, he sat down directly.
Li Yuanzhao couldn't help but feel proud of himself. If Lao Fang is such a person, then I am also such a person. We both have the same ideal!
After listening to this, Guo Tianyang drooped his eyelids, hid his hands in his sleeves and kept writing and drawing, muttering about common prosperity and building a life for the people.
I thought to myself, this Fang Zhengyi’s business can actually improve... Our family cannot be left behind...
The ministers remained silent, feeling as uncomfortable as eating flies.
There was only one thought in my mind, why didn't I say this?
Tang Shou sat on the ground, his heart as cold as ice, looking around helplessly... Was there really nowhere to complain about his grievances?
Is it so dark in the court hall?
Finally, he looked at Zhang Shi for help, and kept hinting with his eyes, did Fang Zhengyi say that he had evaded taxes?
Zhang Shi's face was as dark as water, and he ignored Tang Shou. He took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this person is eloquent and speaks for his country and his family. How can he explain tax evasion!?"
"Tang Shou also knows a little bit about this matter, please ask him to clarify your Majesty's doubts!"
Tang Shou stood up and said, "Back to Your Majesty! Tax evasion in Taoyuan County is indeed true!"
"Five years ago, due to the extreme lack of population and local poverty, the imperial court exempted Taoyuan County and Jihua County from the tax burden. However, this decree has limitations."
"Taoyuan County has long ceased to be as poor as it once was, but Taoyuan County has been concealing the situation."
"When I went to Hengjiang Prefecture, I asked the officials who were inspecting the tax collection in each county. These officials had never seen anyone from Taoyuan County, and they didn't even know that Taoyuan County existed!"
"So I dare to say that Taoyuan County does not impose taxes!"
Emperor Jing turned to look at Fang Zhengyi.
Fang Zheng handed over his hands one by one: "Back to Your Majesty! Although Taoyuan County is developing well, the county government really has no money."
"Most of the money earned in these years has been invested in improving people's livelihood, especially in education!"
"In order to make the people reasonable and aware of the king's kindness, I spare no effort to make the people in the county popularized writing and have books to read."
"On the other hand, the governance of Taoyuan County focuses on hiding wealth from the people. If you have money, you have to spend it on infrastructure construction. It is natural if you don't have money. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to check the accounts at any time. I am upright and aboveboard!"
What a joke, my Taoyuan County’s fake accounts, how can you old guys spot it?
Emperor Jing nodded slightly.
Fang Zheng continued as soon as he saw this: "Of course, there may be some missed taxes. This is the minister's negligence. Now the county has no money. We will let Taoyuan County sort out the tax and pay it back."
"This is my fault! Your Majesty, please punish me!"
Always leave room for big leaders to operate, so that they can live up to their reputation.
Although you may spend more money, it doesn’t matter, just spend it and treat it as if you have lost money and avoided disaster!
Isn't it just money? A bunch of old guys, just wait and see if I sell you health care products in the future!
Emperor Jing also breathed a sigh of relief. This matter should be settled as soon as possible.
Fang Zhengyi is such a troublesome guy!
"Okay! In view of Fang Zhengyi's outstanding political achievements during his reign, he will be temporarily fined for one year as punishment for omitting taxes. What do you think, sir?"
No one spoke, no objection.
At this point, those who don’t know still think that Fang Zhengyi is His Majesty’s biological son. Who dares to say more?
If it had been anyone else, he would have been dragged out and beaten, but this kid was still standing in the room proudly.
"Okay! If that's the case, then the matter is settled!"
Zhang Shi didn't have any unusual reaction and retreated silently.
Tang Shou stood in the hall with a heart filled with despair... He didn't expect Fang Zhengyi to have such a strong background, and revenge... was hopeless...
"I have my own report! Fang Zhengyi poisoned the prisoners and killed fifty-four people in total! Please punish him severely!" Yan Guoan came out and said
Fang Zheng looked at him and then at Zhang Shi. Zhang Shi's expression showed no surprise, and he obviously already knew about this.
It seems that the two have united...
As soon as these words came out, the officials' hearts were lifted and they looked at Fang Zhengyi in horror.
If you are close to him, take two steps back.
Everyone tolerated this guy's glib talk, but didn't expect that this gentle guy was actually a murderer? Fang Rentu, you are a cruel person!
Emperor Jing frowned tightly and stared at Fang Zheng: "Is this possible?"
He doesn't know what the situation is now, but when it comes to murder, it is a serious crime, and he killed fifty-four people in one go. Except on the battlefield, Emperor Jing has not heard of such a vicious incident in several years...
Fang Zhengyi didn't panic at all and said honestly: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case! However, there is a reason for this..."
"Your Majesty! Let me talk about this matter. Fang Zhengyi is a eloquent person, and I am worried that he will distort the facts!" Yan Guoan said with a straight face.
"Okay, then it's up to you!"
Yan Guoan closed his eyes and carefully recalled the details in his memory. At this time, he must bring down Fang Zhengyi with one blow. This person must be a disaster if he stays in the court.
As a veteran of the current court, Zhang Shi was speechless when he was refuted. This time... he couldn't lose again!
"Your Majesty, do you remember that the prince often skipped classes for no reason some time ago? From that time on, I began to pay attention to the prince's movements."
"I found out that the prince skipped class and ran out of the palace in disguise with Fang Zhengyi's gold medal!"
"So I also started sending people to inquire about Fang Zhengyi's whereabouts, and I discovered that he and the prince had been carrying out some activities in secret."
"It didn't take long for the prince to stop leaving the palace privately. After many inquiries, I discovered that Fang Zhengyi and the prince were secretly executing prisoners in a dungeon in the capital!"
"Those prisoners died in extremely tragic circumstances!! As you know, the mysterious and mysterious thing circulating in the city right now, causing the people to panic, is none other than Fang Zhengyi!"
