"Isn't this nonsense, Mr. Li? I don't want to do it, but you can't do it like this." Fang Zheng shouted in his heart that he had a headache, "As a veteran of two dynasties, do you still have the law to do things like this? Is there any law? !”
He was well behaved when he came, now I give him such a big gift.
Li Yansong looked unhappy.
There are so many talented people in the world who have worked hard all their lives for the opportunity that they could never get, but he avoided it like a snake or a scorpion.
As expected, His Majesty said it, and His Majesty understands Fang Zhengyi.
The only regret was that after he asked, His Majesty did not explain why, so he just lost two words.
Feel.
Now it seems that it has really become a trouble.
"Is it so difficult for you to join the cabinet? This is an opportunity that many people dream of. You must seize it vigorously!" Li Yansong advised.
"What do I have to hold on to?" Fang Zhengyi said helplessly, "You have forgotten that I am the consort, and I am appointed under special circumstances. What will the world think of me now that I am in the cabinet, and what will the courtiers say?"
"Now that I am the commander of the Jinyi Guards, I have enough power. It is not too much to say that people and ministers are valued to the extreme."
"If I get promoted further, I'm afraid that someone will see my power and make wild guesses, suspecting that I have ulterior motives. If they say that my cousin Fang Zheng is involved in politics, what should I do then?"
Li Yansong flatly rejected: "This will never happen! His Majesty treats you as his own son. For so many years, you have held the power of supervision. You have neither formed a party for personal gain nor taken revenge for personal gain. All officials know it."
"The power in your hands is no more than His Majesty's. I know you have money, but what are you afraid of if you have money? Who would worry too much just because you have money?"
"As for how people talk, it doesn't matter what the newspapers say or what they believe."
Fang Zheng whined and touched his forehead with his hand.
This is determined to get yourself up!
But once he goes up there, it is inevitable that others will be suspicious of him, and it may even damage the relationship between Emperor Jing, the prince, and him.
Even if he has not been promoted in official position, he is already on fire. Li Yansong has no idea how strong his foundation is.
As the leader of Dajing’s first military spy agency, the second largest shareholder of Jingxing Bank, the person behind the Capital Exchange, the major shareholder of Dajing’s largest shipbuilding family, the founder of Dajing’s most influential newspaper, and the leader of Dajing’s most advanced research institution producer, national monopoly diamond producer, leader in the hard liquor market, Dajing’s number one arms dealer, Dajing modern medicine...
There are so many titles in one person, and none of them are empty titles!
The superposition of these industries has spread invisibly from the capital to the whole country, affecting the lives of all Dajing people.
The most important thing is that these industries are still expanding wildly with the pace of the industrial revolution.
Fortunately, no one has yet done a deep dive and connected all these messy things, but these gold mines have begun to turn into hot potatoes.
Mr. Fang felt pain in his heart, but this pain was different from the pain of the people at the bottom who were stuck in the quagmire and couldn't get out... He could cut it off at any time.
However, he has not yet figured out how to deal with these properties. This is a complex project.
"Li Gong, I think you don't understand me at all. You said that His Majesty treats me as his own son. Because of this, I can't go any further." Fang Zheng said sincerely, "This precious relationship needs to be maintained at all times. For Even if this takes away my power and makes me use up my family wealth, I will never let it be affected in the slightest, I want..."
"Master Marquis, it's alright, His Majesty is not here." Li Yansong covered his eyes and looked like he couldn't bear to look directly, "Even if you are His Majesty's own son, you don't have to do this, right?"
This is really licking God... I have never seen anything like this.
Fang Zhengyi remained silent, not knowing how to respond.
What he said was true. What else could others say if they didn't believe it? It was hard to explain.
This unconditional trust is related to the future and cannot allow any mistakes.
"In short, I can't do this job, so you don't need to persuade me anymore." Fang Zheng said decisively.
Li Yansong frowned: "What if His Majesty wants you to do it?"
"Then I will resign, and I will not do this job now."
"You...what are you planning on? I really can't figure it out." Li Yansong said in surprise.
When I came here today, I thought this would be an extremely normal and friendly communication.
But now it seems difficult for him to keep up with Fang Zhengyi's thinking.
"I feel comfortable because I am so rich, so I can live happily now."
No oil or salt is allowed!
Li Yansong slapped the stone table: "Let me tell you the truth. Your Majesty has decided to personally conquer the church, crush the church, and subdue the rebels. After recovering from his injuries, he will prepare to assemble the army and set off. Before leaving, he will pass on the throne to the prince. I have already drafted the edict to pass the throne."
"I asked your Majesty to resign, but Your Majesty asked me to stay. I couldn't refuse. I will only wait for the prince to succeed to the throne before begging for the bones. This is not that I am noble and upright, but that I am too old to bear the heavy responsibility. You see, the world is changing every year, everything It was started by you, and it’s up to you to support it.”
"What, His Majesty decided to pass on the throne?" Fang Zheng suddenly widened his eyes, "He also decided to go to the Western Expedition?"
This was too sudden and too shocking.
Li Yansong said bitterly: "Yes, I didn't expect this to happen suddenly. I guess I knew that King Wu was too powerful overseas, so I made up my mind. No one else knows about this matter yet. I guess it will be almost healed after His Majesty's injury." , it will be officially announced.”
"No! He absolutely cannot march westward. Mr. Li, why don't you stop him?" Fang Zhengyi asked with a serious expression.
"Can I stop him? His Majesty has made up his mind...no one can persuade him."
"No, no, no, we should go together and stop him." Fang Zheng said together, "Although Dajing's national strength is strong at the moment, I think the gap in weapons and equipment is far from being irreparable. We can wait until there is a complete Be sure before taking action."
"Besides, we have only built one ironclad ship, which is not enough. We need at least three or five ships. It is too hasty to send troops now."
Li Yansong said: "Are you in a hurry? Now that King Wu's spy has been captured by my Dajing, I'm afraid he will strike first when he reacts."
Fang Zheng shook his head: "I don't think so. He is too cautious... His spies were captured by us, so they didn't dare to move lightly."
"Mr. Li, let's not talk about letting me join the cabinet now. The most important thing is to find a way to persuade His Majesty not to act rashly. What's more, even if there is a fight, he should never be the one to fight."
"Your Majesty is going to fight in person. No one can rest assured about the unpredictability of the sea, and I don't want Your Majesty to go in person." Li Yansong paused, "But if you said your Majesty is not going to fight, then who will fight?"
"Of course the prince."

(Sorry, today is just one chapter. The update time has always been inaccurate in the past two days. The board is adjusting the follow-up plot and repeatedly revising it. It is a headache. It has been completely turned upside down day and night and I can't bear it anymore. I will resume normal updates for everyone tomorrow. I hope it will be updated at six to seven in the evening. There will definitely be no knife. There is no knife for such sunny and positive energy articles.)
