"A hero did a good deed that made people happy. Will anyone say that he was incited by justice? That's stupid!" Fang Zheng threw the letter and newspaper in his hand on the table, "It seems that I really underestimated him. Father Erjie, he can do such a big thing quietly, I should have given him a house without a loan if I had known."
Li Yuanzhao was listening to DC Harazi, who regretted repeatedly: "I got up late! I got up late! Such a big event happened in the court today and I missed it. What does the court think of this matter?"
Fang Zheng thought for a while: "The whole hall is naturally very angry, and they are criticizing such obscene forces like the church. The report sent back by Lai Gou'er is being copied by someone. It contains a lot of content and it will take two days. Only His Highness can see the complete manuscript."
Speaking of this, Fang Zheng showed a bit of pride on his face.
Lai Gouer wrote two pamphlets about the news coming back from the West.
From the local customs, to the general situation of each country, the situation of the church and even a map of the Holy City.
In addition, there are original and translated versions of many overseas specialties and texts, covering a wide range of contents.
This work was done so meticulously and conscientiously that it won the applause of the whole house, and no one in the civil servants or generals was dissatisfied.
It was obvious that he had put in a lot of hard work. Everyone knew that Lai Gouer was his, and he had earned a lot of face this time!
"Looking at His Majesty's attitude today, he wants to prepare in advance for possible conflicts with the church in the future. Now we have opened some overseas stations. The closest location to Feka can be reached within a fifteen-day flight. At the moment, the Ministry of War My opinion is to station troops first to prepare for any eventuality, and I think that’s pretty much the same.”
Li Yuanzhao was about to move and licked his lips: "I have never fought a naval battle."
Fang Zheng smiled and said: "Forget it, Your Highness, it's just preparations, it's still early for war. If we want to fight, we have to ask for a master to be famous. Besides, even if we have the ability to overthrow the church, is it necessary? Beat it to pieces. It’s hard to do business, so our core mission is to make money and improve the lives of Dajing people.”
When Li Yuanzhao heard this, his expression became quite depressed: "You are right, but I want to go out and see the world as big as it is. I am not willing to be trapped in this small capital, so I personally killed him Utu, now I want to meet the Pope."
Fang Zheng shrugged, noncommittal.
"It's too far overseas, so I'm afraid His Highness won't have a chance, but I think there may be a chance to meet the Pope of the Taifu Sect in the future. If this bitch comes to Dajing, I have to let him taste the ultimate punishment of Jin Yiwei."
"The ultimate punishment? What is that? Aren't the Jinyi guards not easy to use violence?" Li Yuanzhao asked curiously with his eyes widened.
Fang Zheng smiled mysteriously: "This is a trick that has never been used in Jinyiwei's list of criminal laws. I call it Weilong Spicy Tiao!"
"Soothing Dragon Spicy Tiao!? It sounds amazing! What kind of execution method?" Li Yuanzhao's pupils trembled.
"It's easy to say. First, thickly smear the prisoner's hands with my Taoyuan County's special concentrated pepper water, then give the prisoner two bowls of concentrated donkey medicine, sprinkle itching powder around the valley, and finally throw it into a small dark room. , I feel like I’m dying~~Jiejiejiejie….”
"Hiss! You are so perverted!" Li Yuanzhao shuddered, turned around and asked, "What if it's a female prisoner?"
"It's the same. At worst, I'll give you an extra large chili pepper with the skin removed."
"..."
As soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, he clicked on the newspaper he had left on the table, "This is what we will mainly talk about today. As for me... Your Majesty asked me to inform you that you should not delay the court meeting next time. He comes to see you in person, I’ll leave first.”
Li Yuanzhao's face fell: "What's going on? Didn't I tell you that I was sick and asked for leave? Why don't you have a meal here before leaving? I haven't eaten yet this morning."
"Okay, who can you hide from me, Xiao Jiujiu? Find a better reason next time. I have something important to do today. The Jin Kingdom's envoy has been in Beijing for a few days. Yesterday, the Imperial Master Paba sent someone to look for me. , said he would come to visit."
"Why is he looking for you? And with his status, he shouldn't come to the capital easily." Li Yuanzhao asked doubtfully.
"I don't know. Let's talk about it when we meet."
...
Inside the princess's mansion.
Fang Zheng was in the study, drinking tea and waiting quietly.
It was only a few days ago that the Jin Dynasty envoy came to Beijing, but they had already delivered the news three months ago, and it was Paba who came in person.
The current status of the National Preceptor is extraordinary and can be said to be the pillar of the country.
The Kingdom of Jin could be without an emperor for a day, but it could not be without a national advisor for a day.
He had not dealt with the delegation before when they came to Beijing this time, but he expected it to be no small matter.
While he was thinking about it while holding the tea cup, a servant suddenly came to report: "Master Marquis, Grand Master Praba is here to visit."
Fang Zheng put down the tea cup, stood up and went out to greet him.
Prabha was already waiting in the hall at this time, and there were attendants on the left and right carrying large and small packages of gifts.
Seeing Fang Zheng walking out from the side, he immediately stood up, held his hands in his hands and said with a smile, "Brother Fang, you are fine. You still look good after a long time."
Fang Zheng returned the greeting and said with a smile: "The Imperial Master is still in his prime, why did you come to see me today and bring a gift? You are so polite!"
The two of them sat down and fragrant tea was served.
Prabha sighed: "After a few years apart, when I saw Brother Fang, I remembered how high-spirited I was in Dajin back then. I didn't expect to be able to sit and drink tea together today."
Fang Zhengyi slowly shook his head: "Young and arrogant, it's not worth mentioning. I heard that the envoy was coming to Beijing earlier, but due to busy official duties, I didn't have time to see the Imperial Advisor in person. I wonder what Jin Guolai is here for? There is no need to be polite between you and me. If you need help, Just tell me where it is."
Paba was silent for a while: "Before coming here, Dajin had submitted his credentials to your country. I wonder if Brother Fang has read it?"
"I haven't seen it, but I know a little bit about it. I heard it's for business, but you don't want to come there in person, right?"
Paba let out a long sigh of relief: "Then let me tell you the truth. On the surface, we are indeed talking about business, but in fact, I want to come and see Dajing in person."
"Newspapers from Beijing often come back to me, Dajin. Although the time is slightly delayed, I still know a little about the development of Dajin and the changes in the capital."
"Later I saw news about trains and steam engines in the newspaper, which... was really unbelievable."
"So after holding back for several months, I finally couldn't help but come and see it in person."
After saying that, Paba smiled again, but this time his smile was a little more bitter.
Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised. He leaned over slightly and asked, "Did the Imperial Master see the train?"
"I saw it, not only the train, but also the factories around the train and the exchange in Beijing and all the new things."
"How does the Imperial Master feel?"
Paba struggled for a moment and said seriously: "The world is turned upside down, it's amazing!"
