His words were powerful and then the second person stood up. It was Minister Liu, the third was General Zhenyuan, the fourth and fifth, and almost all the ministers present stood up.
"Your Majesty, I respectfully request you to abdicate and let the throne be given to a wiser person!"
"You! Are you going to rebel? Come! Come!" the emperor shouted. Shangguan Lin beside him widened his eyes. Lin Chengze was also stunned. How did Fang Zhiyi win over so many people? His own men investigated, but he only won over those insignificant minor characters.
Fang Zhiyi glanced at him and smiled. "Playing the spy game? I'm your ancestor!"
"Your Majesty, don't waste your energy." Fang Zhiyi walked forward slowly, patted the prince's shoulder, and motioned him to sit down quietly.
"In the entire Shengjing, no one is on your side anymore."
The emperor slumped down on the dragon throne, as if all his energy had been drained away. Fang Zhiyi glanced at him and Shangguan Lin and the others and said, "Since Your Majesty enjoys judging cases for the concubines, there will be time for that later."
Palace fighting? Take your time, by the time you're done, the throne will have been taken by someone else.
The prince ascended the throne almost instantly. As soon as he ascended the throne, he promulgated a number of tax reduction policies in accordance with Fang Zhi's wishes and launched a series of strict investigations.
It was still the same routine of investigating corrupt officials and confiscating their property, but Fang Zhiyi also had someone stop Prince Rui who was trying to escape, as well as the Xu family of Tea and Horse who were making some small moves. The Xu family was powerful but that was only for ordinary people. In Fang Zhiyi's hands now, it was too easy to kill them, and he didn't even need to find any special charges.
All the crimes of Prince Rui were verified, the Xingyi Village Massacre was also uncovered, and all the people in Prince Rui's mansion except the servants were beheaded.
The harem also became a place where the retired emperor was imprisoned. At Fang Zhiyi's request, the prince accepted his suggestion and married Liu Ning, the daughter of Minister Liu, and spent most of his time on government affairs. After a series of operations by the teacher, the shaky country stabilized again and burst out with new opportunities.
Someone entered the harem, Xu Yan'er was sent to the palace, and the Xu family was investigated. Originally, Xu Yan'er should have been exiled, but Fang Zhiyi specifically asked for her, saying that she was to be given to the retired emperor as a maid.
Shangguan Lin was stunned. She looked at herself in a daze. She had just ascended to the throne and then retired with the emperor. She was a little confused.
Lin Chengze collapsed even more, as he discovered that most of the intelligence network he had established were double agents, all loyal to Fang Zhiyi. Now he had become blind, unaware of anything in the outside world. As the emperor gained power, his status also declined rapidly.
When he saw Xu Yan'er, who was like a walking corpse, the resentment in his heart was rekindled, and he immediately pounced on her and started wrestling with her. However, he was disabled after all, and neither of them could gain the upper hand.
The other palace maids and eunuchs just watched them fight, making a few comments from time to time.
"Xiao Hei, do you want that system?" Fang Zhiyi asked curiously.
Xiao Hei bared his teeth, pouted, and shook his head: "No, no, no."
"Then let it be?"
"It can only be like this. It can't cause any waves now." As a palace fighting system, it really doesn't have much effect.
Lin Chengze tried to see Fang Zhiyi. He was scared and wanted to beg for mercy.
"Fang Zhiyi! I was wrong!" He shouted, but no one paid attention to him. The harem was dead silent, and many palace maids and eunuchs had been transferred away, saying that they were going to the palace built by the emperor.
Someone conveyed this to Fang Zhiyi, and Fang Zhiyi laughed.
"He doesn't know his mistake. He just didn't stand on the commanding heights this time." Seeing the visitor's confused face, Fang Zhiyi threw out an ingot of silver as a reward. The visitor thanked him profusely and left.
Another ten years passed, and Fang Zhiyi resolutely resigned and left. This made the emperor and the ministers a little uncomfortable. Only in the deserted harem there was a crazy old eunuch muttering: "He went back, he must have gone back..." He tried to raise his head and identify Fang Zhiyi who once lived in Xingyi Village.
