Emperor Jing had a mysterious expression on his face and thought to himself, he should mention Miaohan's matter, and I just happened to be following the trend.
Miaohan is not young anymore, so it would be inappropriate to delay it any longer.
Fang Zheng clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, please agree to open the sea!"
"..."
The expression on Emperor Jing's face froze, and he said in a tone full of disbelief: "You say it again?"
"Your Majesty, please agree to open the sea!" Fang Zhengyi said again, with a firm tone!
Of course, I didn’t expect it to work out, but it was just a test, what if it really happened? You still have to have fantasies as a human being.
Emperor Jing was silent. What happened was completely unexpected. He looked at Fang Zhengyi and said slowly: "Do you think I can really promise you anything? Is it possible that you want to give away my treasury to me?" "
"I don't...."
"Shut up!" Emperor Jing slapped the table and stood up, his face full of indignation, "How can you not tolerate important national affairs as a trivial matter! Say it again!"
Fang Zhengyi gritted his teeth and said: "This... I am devoted to the country and your majesty. State affairs are my family affairs. Opening the sea is really for the welfare of all the people in the world. For the sake of my great future, how can it be child's play?" "
Emperor Jing's face softened slightly. Although Fang Zhengyi was not very good at what he said, he was still trustworthy when it came to business matters.
Thinking of this, Emperor Jing sat down and said calmly: "I can satisfy your personal affairs, but state affairs are not something you can control alone? Say it again."
Fang Zhengyi fell into deep thought...
say what? Personal matters, what personal matters cannot I achieve? I made so much money and climbed so high.
Apart from changing history, I, Fang Zhengyi, have no dreams anymore. Such a life is really sad...
"When do you want to think about it? Do you think I have too much time to waste here with you all the time? Tell me quickly." Emperor Jing urged.
"I...I want to...please marry the princess, cough!" After saying that, Fang Zheng started to squirm.
Even though his skin is thicker than the corner of the city wall, this is really the first time this has happened.
He had never done this in his previous life. As soon as he said these words, he felt as if the emperor in front of him had really become his father-in-law, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Emperor Jing's originally serious face suddenly flashed a smile, and then returned to its deep expression.
Bastard! Normally, I dare to say anything in court meetings, but when it comes to serious matters, I am always chattering!
Miaohan will turn into an old girl if she delays it any longer!
Emperor Jing spoke slowly, with dignity in his tone: "You are so presumptuous! Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I want to marry the princess, please grant me the marriage!"
"Bastard! Do you think you can talk nonsense in front of me just because you have made meritorious deeds? You want to marry Miaohan, why! Just because of your empty words and white teeth, will I agree to you?" Emperor Jing was furious again, "Don't do it in front of me. Proud of being favored!"
"Then let me say it again... How about your Majesty reward me with whatever gold and silver you want? I won't pick it."
"Get out! Get out of here! I don't want to see you!"
He quietly glanced at Emperor Jing who was staring at him eagerly. As soon as Fang Zheng was in no hurry to leave, his mind started to spin crazily.
Hiss... I didn't say which princess I would marry. Why did you say it yourself? Are you sure?
And you didn’t ask me to say it again this time... I’m talking empty words... Could it be that you want to ask for a betrothal gift?
I had previously agreed to give him 20% of Taoyuan County shares, and after the accounts were completed, I would give him close to 10,000 taels of silver every year.
Isn't this satisfactory?
I'm afraid I won't be able to fool him by sending money this time. The Lu family's bank account has been confiscated, and several million taels are still on the way. I'm afraid spending money this time won't solve the problem.
Seeing him not moving, Emperor Jing sneered in his heart.
This guy had such a smooth journey. He agreed directly and thought that I was so easy to talk to about everything.
"Why aren't you leaving? What are you thinking about?"
As soon as Fang Zheng gathered his thoughts, he changed the subject and said, "I still have something to report. The development of gunpowder in Taoyuan County has been successful."
"Really?" Emperor Jing's eyes lit up, and he immediately became confused again: "Why didn't the people I stayed in Taoyuan County come to report as soon as possible?"
"Your Majesty, research and development is carried out in groups. The group in Taoyuan County produced the results first. They are probably still discussing with each other, so they haven't had time to present it to Your Majesty."
Emperor Jing nodded: "This is a great achievement. I will send someone to deliver the gunpowder into the palace tomorrow. I want to see it myself!"
"Your Majesty, no! Please excuse me. Although gunpowder has been successfully developed, it requires supporting facilities to exert its power. I would like to present it to Your Majesty when it is completed."
"Besides, I got an interesting Western thing from King Wu. I am ordering someone to imitate it. When it is finished, I will present it to His Majesty." Fang Zheng said.
"Western stuff? You seem to be particularly interested in the West. Do you know something about it?" Emperor Jing asked.
"This... my father met Western missionaries when he was young, so he knows a lot about the West." Fang Zheng compiled: "Your Majesty, the West is by no means a barbarian land, and it is definitely not as simple as we imagined, so I The main reason for advocating the opening of the sea is to explore the Western world in order to prevent a powerful enemy from attacking one day in the future. We cannot be ignorant by then."
Emperor Jing did not answer the question, but asked: "This is the first time I heard you mention your parents. They used to..."
"They are in another world..." Fang Zheng said first.
Emperor Jing felt a little guilty for his thanks, and his memory had faded over time. He had checked Fang Zhengyi's information before and found that both his parents were dead.
"I already know about this matter. You should go to Beizhen Fusi as soon as possible. There is a lot of interference in the opening of the sea. It is not as simple as you think. Don't mention it again in the future."
"The minister wants to marry the princess. Your Majesty promised me anything..."
"Get out!" Emperor Jing pointed at the door with an expressionless expression.
Although Emperor Jing didn't agree, he didn't deny it either. Maybe there's still a chance!
Fang Zheng left the Imperial Study Room in dejection and went straight to Mingluan Hall without a second thought.
Familiarly, he touched the inside of Mingluan Hall and frowned when he heard the sound of looms inside.
When I went deeper, I saw Li Miaohan sitting in front of the loom. She was busy with a serious look.
A pair of small, crystal-like jade hands were constantly moving.
When the maids on both sides saw that he was about to speak, Fang Zheng quickly raised his index finger to his lips.
Then he walked quietly behind Li Miaohan.
She didn't say a word and just stood there quietly until she weaved a complete piece of cloth.
Joy appeared on her pretty face, and she wiped the sweat on her forehead.
Fang Zheng stretched out his hand, covered her eyes from behind, and whispered in her ear: "Guess who I am?"
Li Miaohan's whole body froze, and Fang Zheng felt that the palms of her hands were getting wet...
Seeing that the beauty seemed to be crying, Fang Zheng hurriedly let go of his hand and went around to her side.
Li Miaohan's eyes were slightly red, she wiped the corners of her eyes, smiled and said, "Are you back?"
"I'm back."
