Li Yuanzhao has experience in supervising the country as a prince.
The last time the country was imprisoned was the last time.
However, the experience is obviously not that sufficient. Emperor Jing is not here. He is either sick or sick, and he is playing with himself.
As for how to scold and persuade him, he doesn't care at all!
It's just different this time. Li Yuanzhao has got rid of low-level interests and started to focus on business.
And Emperor Jing was watching him closely...
Li Yuanzhao couldn't help but become serious about Fang Zhengyi.
Above the main hall, Li Yuanzhao sat on the lower left side of the dragon chair, with an upright posture and a solemn expression, which was rare and serious.
At the hidden corner on the left, the old god Jingdi Zheng was listening with his eyes closed.
After two injections of penicillin, he was already cured of his illness, and after several days of rest, his mental state was back to its best.
This was Emperor Jing's first court meeting for several days, and he was still the prince, so it was of great significance.
Arrangements have been made in advance for notification, and the ministers greeted each other as usual and entered the palace to see the ceremony.
It's just that there is a bit more unexplainable meaning behind the words.
At first, all the officials met and reported on all the affairs of the country as usual.
Li Yuanzhao only responded in a scripted manner, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
It wasn't until halfway through the process that discordant voices began to appear: "Chen Like gave Shi Zhongfan'er an original memorial."
"Accurate."
"I impeached Zhan Shifu Fang Zhengyi, and communicated with Beirong to accept 60,000 taels of silver from his imperial master. The memorial was submitted to the palace yesterday. I wonder if Your Highness has read it?"
As soon as the conversation started, many of the officials immediately changed their expressions.
coming?
Li Yuanzhao cheered up, calmed down, and said calmly: "I haven't seen it before. Please tell me in detail."
"Yes, Your Highness." Vern said unhurriedly: "Previously, Beirong sent me as an envoy to Dajing. Before leaving, he left a cart of goods at Honglu Temple, which contained all the records of Pappa's envoy to my country. , which contains Yu Fang Zhengyi’s secret conversation notes.”
Li Yuanzhao frowned and asked, "Where are the notes?"
"The Beirong people have discovered the missing goods and took them away after returning. However, Mr. Chen Hong, the minister of Honglu Temple, can testify that he saw the notes with his own eyes."
Chen Hong, the minister of Honglu Temple, stood up tremblingly, a little at a loss.
I couldn't help but curse my mother! Damn it, why are these people so crazy today? Fang Zhengyi was outside investigating a case for His Majesty, and his whereabouts were unknown. Why choose this moment to add insult to injury? Be sick!
But Zhang Shi kept looking at him. Honglu Temple had received one hundred thousand taels, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet!
Anyway, I tell the truth! none of my business!
"Back to... Your Highness, this is indeed the case. I have personally seen the notes left by Paba. It records that Fang Zhengyi secretly colluded with him and agreed to help him purchase ironware."
Li Yuanzhao slammed the armrest and scolded: "What a joke! Can the notes left by the Beirong people be used as evidence? How do you not know that it is the Beirong people who are sowing discord?"
"This..." Chen Hong hesitated for a moment and continued: "What His Highness said does make sense, but the location of the missing goods was indeed a bit remote, and the edict left by King Beirong Khan was also among them. I think... Master Praba would not intentionally commit such a crime of disrespect."
"Is there any need to talk about morality between the two countries? In my opinion, this matter is simply fabricated out of thin air!" Li Yuanzhao couldn't help but get a little excited. Damn it, Lao Fang is working hard outside, and you guys are doing it behind the scenes. thing!
"You are calling this just a rumor! There is no proof! Don't mention this matter again. When Lao Fang returns to Beijing, I will ask him personally!"
Emperor Jing closed his eyes, his expression calm, but a trace of blue veins appeared on his forehead...
"Your Highness, be careful! Your Highness is the Crown Prince, how can you call a minister... Lao... Fang!"
Li Yuanzhao looked intently and saw that the person who came out was Wei Ming, a member of the Ministry of Etiquette. He couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Haha, I just like to call him that, so what? No one has ever taught me how to beat Lao Fang into the palace. He, you are derelict in your duties! Now you are teaching me a lesson?"
"Ah...this?" Wei Ming couldn't help being dumbfounded.
Is there such a thing? I do not know! No wonder Fang Zhengyi has such a moral character, he is like a gangster who ran out of the village and has no integrity.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at his superior. Everyone in the Rites Department closed their eyes and shook their heads.
"Ahem... Your Highness, these are two things. This matter is certainly an oversight by the Ministry of Rites, but..."
Before he could finish speaking, Fan Er said sharply: "Your Highness! The evidence that Fang Zhengyi colluded with foreign enemies is already conclusive, how can we call it a rumor? Even if it is a rumor, it's okay!"
"We, the officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology, are already in charge of picketing after hearing about the incident! The imperial code and discipline are all tied to this! The responsibility of the Taiwan Inspector is especially important to the Qingming Dynasty! Fang Zheng's move is against the law of the country. I hope His Highness will understand clearly!"
Li Yuanzhao stared at him, feeling a little angry: "Then how do you want me to find out clearly?"
"Search the Fangzheng family's house!"
"Unbridled!" Li Yuanzhao was furious: "Only based on so-called rumors and trumped-up evidence, are we going to arrest important officials in the court?"
Immediately, someone stood up and said, "Your Highness, Fang Zhengyi has more than one crime. The Ministry of Revenue raided Prince Wu's mansion and found dozens of account books. Among them, Prince Wu had money exchanges with Fang Zhengyi, and the amount was over 100,000 yuan." It’s shocking!”
"What do you mean? Do you want to say that Lao Fang also rebelled?" Li Yuanzhao turned his fierce gaze.
"Your Highness, please calm down. This is not what I meant. But with this move, Fang Zheng has undoubtedly become an accomplice to the rebels. I hope Your Highness will order someone to search his house."
"I second the proposal!" "I second the proposal!"
A series of voices of support suddenly came up from below. More than ten people knelt on the ground one after another. Li Yuanzhao's face turned pale.
The situation happened so suddenly, it was as if it had been planned.
Unexpectedly, these people all attacked together, and a faint sense of oppression spread upwards.
The rest of the people who had not seconded the proposal also lowered their heads and stood in silence.
Guo Tianyang stood aside with cold eyes, looking at the courtiers kneeling on the ground one by one, and began to memorize or recall the relationship behind it.
The ministers in the cabinet also said nothing.
Li Yuanzhao just watched like this, no one helped him, and he seemed to be really alone at this moment!
The pressure is slowly building up... building up... Fang Zhengyi's lewd smile suddenly popped out!
With a bang, his nervousness disappeared inexplicably in an instant, and instead, a kind of enlightenment came to his heart.
It turns out that this is how it feels to sit in Father's position. I don't know how Father should solve it. He should keep them kneeling.
What if this happened to Lao Fang? 80% of the time he started scolding directly.
Hiss...a pool should be built outside the main hall. If anyone is willing to kneel in the pool! And then sarcastic remarks from the sidelines
As he thought about it, Li Yuanzhao began to drift away, and the sounds in his ears began to sound unreal...
Emperor Jing tilted his head, looking at his calm and calm appearance, and couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile on his lips.
Very good, this situation couldn't be more common. The prince has indeed matured a lot and already has the qualities of an excellent superior such as being unfazed by flattery or humiliation.
"I know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a close relationship with Fang Zhengyi, but in such important matters of the country, one must not indulge in personal favoritism!"
"His Majesty is currently bedridden. I hope that His Majesty will be brave enough to take on important responsibilities and make decisive decisions!"
"Why are you laughing, Your Highness!!!?"
Seeing that the situation was beginning to get intense, Emperor Jing sighed and stood up slowly...
