For several days in a row, people came to the house to deliver gifts every day.
Fang Zheng was very happy to receive the gift!
It's not like no one gave him gifts on weekdays, but most of them refused, and the gifts were only given to the people under his rule.
But things are different now. Everyone is an official in the same court, so giving gifts from colleagues is of course even more satisfying.
Several uncles also gave a lot of gifts.
In my previous life, I only gave gifts to my bosses, and I didn’t get any money back a few times. Today, I feel like I’m having a blast!
However, although there are many gifts, most of them are not valuable things, just some more thoughtful trinkets.
Antiques, calligraphy and paintings and the like occupy the absolute mainstream, and Fang Zhengyi also accepts all comers.
Until Taoyuan County sent a box of something he had been waiting for...
On this day, I went to court as usual, and greeted each other outside the Meridian Gate as usual.
Since someone gave Fang Zhengyi a gift, the relationship has naturally improved a lot.
There was a lot of excitement around Fang Zhengyi, but there were still some people watching coldly from a short distance away.
There are them in all ministries, but most of them are in the Hanlin.
Yang Yingcai was among them, holding his arms and looking dismissive.
A person on the side said: "Oh, Mr. Fang has really risen to the top and holds real power in one step, and now everyone is rushing to fawn over him."
Yang Yingcai sneered: "They are just some people who follow the trend, how can we join in the same trend?"
"Someone also gave Fang Zhengyi a gift, and I don't know what they thought. According to my understanding of this guy, maybe one day this guy will take the gift slip and sue him, accusing him of corruption and bribery!"
"You still have to pretend that you already know everything, and say that you will keep the evidence in advance."
"Yeah! Yeah! Master Yang is right, but... I think he seems to have changed a lot this time when he came back from the outside. He is not like he used to talk with a gun and a stick." Someone interrupted.
"Disguise! It's all disguise. Do you really believe that the prodigal son turns back? He might have some bad intentions in his heart."
"Look, that guy Yang Fengfan is getting close to me again. He's been licking her for so long and no one is paying attention to him. He's still working tirelessly, this traitorous dog!"
"Bah! This bitch is a mother if she has breasts!"
On Fang Zhengyi's side, many people were staring curiously at the box in his hand.
"Master Fang, what are you carrying in your hand? Do you need to bring a box to the court?"
Fang Zheng smiled and said: "Good stuff, absolutely good stuff. Don't worry, everyone, the secret will be revealed in a moment!"
The sly Yang Fengfan saw the opportunity and came over, flatteringly: "Master Fang, this thing looks quite heavy, let me help you get it."
Fang Zheng was very happy, this guy kept licking himself, he was the only traitor in the Imperial Academy.
He felt quite comfortable with someone licking him like this, but it felt unreasonable not to give him some benefit.
But, this matter still depends on opportunity. There are so many capable people at my command, and this guy's turn will never come...
Seeing that Yang Fengfan was about to snatch it, Fang Zheng retracted his hand and said, "Thank you very much. This thing is very precious. I'd better keep it myself."
Yang Fengfan felt a sense of disappointment in his heart.
After being licked for so long and being isolated in the Imperial Academy, why doesn’t Mr. Fang respect me?
But this disappointment did not last long, because the palace had already begun.
The ministers filed in as usual.
When he reached the main hall, Emperor Jing glanced down and naturally discovered Fang Zhengyi, who looked particularly strange.
He opened his mouth and asked, "Fang Qing, why did you bring a box to the court today?"
Just waiting for you to ask!
Fang Zhengyi smiled slightly, stepped out of the queue, picked up the box and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have been very comfortable these days."
Emperor Jing couldn't help but laugh: "Comfortable? Just feel comfortable, but what does this have to do with the box?"
"The reason why I feel comfortable is that many of my colleagues have given me gifts and congratulated me on my promotion to the Commander of the Royal Guards. I am ashamed. This is the first time in the court that I have felt warmth from someone other than Your Majesty. It seems that my great view of the court is The church is a place of love!" Fang Zheng said.
Many people who had given generous gifts suddenly dropped their faces and yelled crazily in their hearts.
Oh shit! I’m giving you a gift, you bring it to the table and say it! Say it in front of His Majesty, do you understand the rules?
Just say it, flatter Nima!
After cursing in my heart, I began to feel uneasy again, and at the same time I was thinking about countermeasures.
It's over, this guy doesn't play by the rules... The box contains the jewelry he gave me, right...
Yang Yingcai sneered again and again, exchanging information with the people around him with his eyes.
What am I talking about? This guy has only been around for a few days, and he sold someone backhand!
Emperor Jing still looked calm and calm, and he knew exactly who gave Fang Zhengyi a gift.
Because Fang Zhengyi sent someone to show him the gift list every day.
Fang Zhengyi continued: "I have just taken up the position of Jin Yiwei, and I have received support from so many colleagues before I have made any achievements. I feel deeply ashamed, so I would like to give you a return gift while everyone is here today. Please forgive me."
Return gift! ?
Many people looked at Fang Zhengyi in surprise. It was really novel to return gifts to officials when he went to court.
Even Emperor Jing showed a very interested look: "Oh? Reciprocity is a good thing, I don't mind. It's just that what a big gift you have to give to the court?"
Fang Zheng said: "Everyone has a share of this gift, and I have also prepared a set for Your Majesty! I dare say that having it is equivalent to having a new life. Once you use it, you will fall in love with it and never go back!"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Emperor Jing but also everyone began to show expectant looks.
Li Yuanzhao, in particular, had bright eyes and kept winking at Fang Zheng.
Lao Fang is this piece of shit! He got beaten a few days ago, and now he has such a good baby and he is still hiding it from me!
How abominable!
"This thing is the secret that conquers the creation of the heaven and the earth, and invades the sun and the moon. It has gathered the efforts of the craftsmen of the world, and it is the most ingenious thing in the world. Although it is thinner than a copper coin, it contains endless magical functions. "
The creation of heaven and earth, the mysteries of the sun and the moon, have endless wonderful uses, and more importantly, they are thinner than a penny!
What magic weapon is that?
Fang Zhengyi kept bragging, and everyone was tickled by him.
Finally, Emperor Jing couldn't help but spoke first: "Fang Qing, what kind of good things are you boasting about so mysteriously? There are countless new things that are paid tribute to me every year, and I have seen too many treasures in the world."
"I want to see what you have brought. Stop boasting and show it to me."
Seeing that the onlookers' eyes were already glowing green, Fang Zhengyi didn't dare to delay any longer and put the box on the ground and opened it.
The neatly arranged small round boxes were revealed.
He took out one of them and held it up high: "Everyone, please look at this!"
Everyone's eyes focused on his hand, and they vaguely saw only a small box, and were greatly disappointed.
Emperor Jing originally leaned forward, but now he returned to sitting upright and said calmly: "Fang Qing, how can this thing of yours be thinner than a penny copper coin?"
Fang Zheng took out a copper coin from his sleeve and held it upright to the small box: "Your Majesty, isn't this thinner than a penny?"
Thinner than a copper coin
