In the imperial palace in the capital, Emperor Xuān frowned as he looked at the person brought before him by the eunuch. He looked at the person, then lowered his head and flipped through the thick book in his hand.
The life in Qingzhou has become so chaotic!
In my own Great Zhou, there is such an arrogant force!
When the anti-rebellion army arrived at the city of Qingzhou, the defenders of Qingzhou were confused, and the people of Qingzhou were also confused. Only Fang Zhiyi stood on the wall and cursed at the emperor who was leading the army in person below. Everyone looked at Fang Zhiyi with their eyelids twitching violently.
"You dog emperor! I'll give you a chance, step down and let someone better rule!" Fang Zhiyi drew his sword and pointed at the stern young man below.
"Attack the city!" The emperor could no longer contain his anger.
The defenders of Qingzhou offered no resistance at all. They could not understand how they had become rebels.
Fang Zhiyi did not resist and was caught on the spot.
The whole city was in chaos. That night, the Qingzhou prison was packed with people. The imperial guards arrested people according to the list, and every corner of the city was searched.
"Fang Zhiyi! What on earth did you do?!"
Fang Zhiyi was held in solitary confinement because he was the principal offender. Someone questioned him loudly through the cell door, asking how they could be arrested so suddenly when they were eating hot pot and singing songs.
Fang Zhiyi hummed a little tune with a look of disdain on his face.
Fang Hongyuan didn't expect that he would be arrested as well. After entering, he saw his two sons Fang Heng and Fang Yan sitting dejectedly in the corner.
"Fang Zhiyi! You rebellious son! You have been corrupt and perverted the law, oppressing the people, bullying the market, and even forging the emperor's will! Your death has come!" Fang Hongyuan knew that the crime was committed by Fang Zhiyi, and that he would be released after being imprisoned for a few days at most.
"Stop, I've never exploited the people. Don't forget, I hired people to dig the canal, I hired people to open up the barren mountain, and even the iron ore was mined by me... no, we all mined it together."
Fang Hongyuan was stunned for a moment: "Iron ore?"
He seemed to realize something.
Fang Zhiyi smiled and said, "You think it's too little? I have committed many crimes, such as secretly communicating with the enemy, privately forging weapons, and training private soldiers..."
"You, you!" Fang Hongyuan finally realized that something was wrong. If what Fang Zhiyi said was true, then he was rebelling!
"Fang Zhiyi! It's fine if you can cover the sky with one hand, but why do you want to rebel? Are you crazy?" someone accused Fang Zhiyi.
Then I realized that I was not happy. Why? It's because there are too many of you. How can we solve it without this method?
"Stop talking nonsense. None of you here has been wronged. You should know that our company has a registration list. The smuggling of ironware to the enemy country was led by my two idiot brothers, but you can't escape the responsibility either. In addition, there is the matter of privately casting weapons..." Fang Zhiyi spoke slowly, and at this point everyone suddenly realized that this madman wanted to drag them to death with him from the beginning!
"No, no, where is Zhang Qi!" Someone suddenly noticed that Zhang Qi was missing.
Fang Zhiyi said leisurely: "I asked him to make meritorious deeds to atone for his sins, but how could the emperor come so soon?"
"You lunatic!"
Fang Zhiyi curled his lips: "I'm crazy? This world is crazy."
"Fang Zhiyi, what good will it do you to do this?" Fang Hongyuan still pretended to be calm.
Fang Zhiyi paused. "Benefits? Not much, but without you, there will be a lot of benefits for the people."
"Don't listen to him, we have all been deceived by him. When the time comes, we will tell His Majesty that we can survive! Fang Zhiyi, just die on your own!" someone shouted.
Fang Zhiyi smiled strangely at him. "Each of your homes has armor and weapons I hid, along with those refugees, remember? They've been trained by me, so they count as my private soldiers... Plus, there are the defense maps of each state and county I obtained. Oh, and Fang Hongyuan, you have a dragon robe hidden in your cellar that I prepared especially for you..."
