"How... is this possible?" Zhou Maoxue was shocked beyond words. "Would His Majesty trust him so much?"
Zhou Hong said calmly: "Your Majesty trusts him too much, just as the Crown Prince trusts him. Not only does the Crown Prince trust him, but now even the officials in the court trust him!"
"I told you, Fang Zhengyi is a man without weaknesses. He may seem to act unrestrained and frivolous, but he thinks through every step and takes it very steadily."
"Almost all of the important forces under his command, whether it is Dongjiao University, Mid-Levels Newspaper, or Jinyiwei, have the participation of the prince."
"He has been constantly helping the prince to increase his reputation among the people. He even asked the prince to personally go and distribute the cash to the people under him when the Jinyiwei were paying their salaries... He has been helping the prince to build up his personal power. Who can not trust such a person?"
"Even if he is as rich as a country, who would be suspicious of him? No, not only the emperor does not doubt him, even the court officials do not doubt him at all."
Zhou Maoxue murmured, "His foundation is so deep?"
Zhou Hong closed his eyes and nodded: "Unshakable."
"My father has been away from the capital for a long time, and I have been traveling around the country for Your Majesty, but I have also been observing him for many years. At first I thought he was just an outlier, but after looking at him again, I felt that he was a pure person. Now I realize that he is actually making history... The young are really formidable."
"Now everyone is being dragged forward by him. No one can resist such temptation. To oppose him is to go against the entire court."
Having said that, Zhou Maoxue was really scared.
I naively thought that by taking advantage of the failed candidates, I could change the situation and gain some benefits. However, I didn't expect that it was just like an ant trying to shake a tree and ended up bringing shame upon myself.
If Fang Zhengyi really becomes the de facto prime minister in the future as his father said.
If the Zhou family is harmed by anything, they will be in big trouble.
He tremblingly picked up the two articles on the ground, looked at Zhou Hong, swallowed his saliva and said: "Dad, then...then he won't hate me if I go and apologize now, right?"
Zhou Hong sneered, "Who do you think you are? Do you think he will take you seriously just because you are my son?"
"As for you guys who caused trouble, I'm afraid you would have been thoroughly investigated by the Royal Guards the next day. He didn't come to me because he was giving me face!"
Being humiliated by his own father repeatedly, Zhou Maoxue felt particularly wronged...
Zhou Hong waved his hand and said, "Hey... take the letter I wrote, and ask the butler to prepare a gift for you, and go to his house to apologize. He is a generous person, and he will not blame you for taking the initiative to admit his mistakes."
Zhou Maoxue gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go!"
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, where are the other candidates who are causing trouble with you? Where are they?"
Zhou Maoxue stopped and said helplessly: "My son and the others were ready to stop making trouble, and they all went home."
Hearing this, Zhou Hong said with disdain, "He is really useless. He has no perseverance in his rebellion. Also, Fang Zhengyi doesn't live in Jianye Marquis's Mansion. He lives in the Princess's Mansion. Let's go to the Princess's Mansion."
What? He doesn't live in Jianye Marquis Mansion!
Zhou Maoxue was struck by lightning!
Recalling the scene when he led a large group of people to knock on the door frantically at the Marquis of Jianye's Mansion, he suddenly felt like magma flowing across his face.
There was no one at the Marquis of Jianye's Mansion, so a bunch of people were shooting at targets in the air for two days!
I was so hungry that my stomach hurt, and I was about to pee all over the floor...but no one was there.
Aren’t I a clown? I’ve been a clown from beginning to end...I have no shame at all!
Zhou Maoxue hung his head, clenched his hands tightly, and felt ashamed and angry.
Since he is not in Jianye Marquis's Mansion, I don't know what I said. I can apologize in a humble manner... I can also feel that I have some face...
.....
In the princess's mansion, in the study.
Zhang Biao was standing in front of the table, holding a half-open sword box.
Fang Zhengyi looked at the sword box and asked in confusion: "This is the weapon you customized, isn't it just a sword? I was wondering why you are studying this thing every day instead of exercising now?"
Zhang Biao said: "I work out, but I'm not as strong as I used to be as I'm getting older. I plan to study more techniques."
"I asked someone from Dongda to order this. Do you want to use it for self-defense, sir?"
Fang Zhengyi took out the sword from the sword box, held the hilt and looked at the scabbard: "It's ordinary, what's so special about it?"
Having said that, he prepared to pull it out and take a look.
Zhang Biao immediately said, "It will explode if you pull it out."
"Fuck!" Fang Zheng threw the sword onto the table with a trembling hand, "You really want to kill me!"
Zhang Biao picked up the sword and said, "The explosion is not very powerful. The sword will burst out when it is half pulled. The key is to add special poison powder inside. If the poison powder explodes, it will kill you if you inhale it. Now there is nothing added inside."
"Shit! Who would pull out your sword? Your stupid weapon is useless."
"If we get into a fight, I guess he'll definitely pull it out if I throw it to him."
"Uh-huh....."
Fang Zhengyi picked up the sword again and was playing with it when a servant suddenly came to the door and reported: "Master, there is a man named Zhou Maoxue outside the mansion who wants to see you. He claims to be the son of Zhou Hong."
Zhou Maoxue? Why is he here?
Fang Zheng thought about it and laughed.
It's quite interesting. He should have gone home, but now he comes to visit. Could it be that he is determined to give in and have a tough fight?
"Okay, call him to the study. Zhang Biao, you go back first. I'll keep the sword."
Zhang Biao turned and went out. Not long after, Zhou Maoxue tremblingly entered the study with an apology letter in his hand.
As soon as he entered the door, a sword was thrown directly at him!
Zhou Maoxue instinctively took the sword with both hands, and the next second he heard a voice.
"Draw your sword!"
Zhou Maoxue drew his sword without hesitation.
With a bang!
When the sword was half pulled out, he felt a huge shock in his hand and the hilt flew out of his hand and towards the corner of the wall.
Zhou Maoxue's heart beat wildly and he looked at Fang Zhengyi.
He saw Fang Zheng holding a sword in one hand and pointing it straight at him.
Holy shit! Controlling a flying sword? The reincarnation of the Sword Master!
Ignoring the dull pain in his right hand, Zhou Maoxue fell to his knees in panic.
"Master Fang! I was wrong!!!"
"Huh?" Fang Zhengyi was a little dumbfounded.
I originally wanted to scare this kid, but he turned out to be so scary. It doesn't look like he is here to fight me.
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes, a sly smile appeared on his face, and he sat back in his chair.
He said in a deep voice: "Raise your head."
Zhou Maoxue was filled with regret when he knelt down, and his whole body froze when he heard the voice.
Why does this voice sound so familiar?
Zhou Maoxue slowly raised his head and saw Fang Zheng covering his chin with one hand, with a half-smile in his eyes.
"Who do you think I look like?"
A familiar half-face came into view.
How is it possible, how is it possible!!!
Zhou Maoxue's eyes suddenly widened, his mind was shocked, and his whole body began to shake uncontrollably.
"Tang...Tang Bohu!?"
