"My dear minister, have the people been sent out?" The emperor changed the subject.
Fang Zhiyi nodded: "We have sent them out, twelve in a row, to deliver the imperial edict."
The emperor was satisfied and asked: "What should I do with Wei Kaiyuan when he comes back?"
Fang Zhiyi glanced around and made a gesture to the emperor.
The emperor's brows relaxed completely, and suddenly he realized that Yi was indeed a good prime minister who loved him deeply!
Fang Zhiyi did exactly as he was told.
After returning home, he saw Chen Xun who came to visit with his son, and Chen Xun standing behind him.
Fang Zhiyi was a little happy. This was an unexpected surprise.
Fang Zhiyi immediately received Chen Xun and Li with a warm attitude, and ordered his servants to kill chickens and sheep. Chen Xun was flattered, and after thinking about what had happened, he calmed down.
"Prime Minister Fang, Mr. Fang's matter..."
It would have been fine if Fang Bufan hadn't been mentioned, but as soon as Fang Bufan was mentioned, Fang Zhiyi's eyes widened: "Rebellious son! Are you causing trouble again?" He immediately bent down to take off his shoes and was about to beat Fang Bufan. Chen Xun hurriedly stopped him, and Li was also shocked. He had originally accompanied Chen Xun to test the waters, but who would have thought that the Prime Minister would really start a fight over a disagreement.
"Prime Minister, calm down. Prime Minister, calm down. The young master has done nothing wrong."
Fang Zhiyi looked at Shen Xun, and the expression on his face changed quickly: "That's good, I don't worry about my son being in the care of Lord Shen. I'll beat him when he deserves to be beaten, and scold him when he deserves to be scolded. Don't think too much!"
"Prime Minister, what the hell did Shen Xun do wrong?" Shen Xun finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
If you say Fang Zhiyi is making things difficult for him, or even impeaching him, he would think it is normal. However, in the past two days, Fang Zhiyi's actions have made him feel uneasy.
"What did I do wrong?" Fang Zhiyi was stunned and said with a smile, "Your Excellency did nothing wrong. It was me who was wrong."
Shen Xun looked at Fang Zhiyi in surprise.
"Drink! My two lords!" Chen Xun and Li were warriors after all and had no resistance to alcohol. Besides, they couldn't offend the Prime Minister, so the three of them sat down and started to clink glasses.
After three rounds of drinking.
Fang Zhiyi suddenly waved his hand and said, "I have been an official since I was young, and I passed the imperial examination." He poured a glass of wine for Shen Xun, who took it with both hands and turned around to fill it for Shen Li.
"But at that time the emperor was young and the court was in chaos."
Shen Xun nodded repeatedly, he knew that history.
"It's difficult for a lowly official like Fang to climb the career ladder. But one day, Fang ran into the Emperor, and after a conversation, the Emperor took a liking to Fang. From then on, I started to rise to prominence."
Shen Xun was a little nervous. Why did Fang Zhiyi start talking about the past?
"In the 32nd year of the lunar calendar, the Hu people invaded the border, and Fang wrote a letter to the emperor to resist. That night, the emperor called me to the imperial study and had a heart-to-heart talk with me all night." Fang Zhiyi tightened his grip on the wine glass slightly, and veins bulged on the back of his hand.
I paid attention to this detail.
He entered the court late, so he really didn't know about this matter. Fang Zhiyi? Anti-Hu? No, who in the world doesn't know that Fang Zhiyi is a peace advocate?
Fang Zhiyi took a sip from his wine glass and lowered his voice: "Everyone in the world says that I, Fang Zhiyi, am a traitor."
Chen Xun was extremely terrified. It would be fine if someone else said this, but what do you mean by saying it yourself? What's more, you are saying it to me?
