Two days later.
In the court, Fang Zheng felt that he had not yet fully recovered, but Yan Guoan had already opened fire!
"Your Majesty! The recent uproar in the capital over the incident of Fan Jinzhong passing the imperial examination in Banshanfang has caused many scholars to feel resentful."
"I am not targeting Lord Fang, but if this play continues, I am afraid that those scholars will cause trouble and gather together to cause trouble."
"Therefore, I think it is best to ban this play, and the actors who participated in this play should never be allowed to perform on stage again for the rest of their lives."
"Your Majesty, please judge!"
After saying this, he glanced at Fang Zheng casually.
The ministers were also discussing this.
Zheng Qiao whispered to Li Yansong, "Mr. Li, have you seen this play?"
"Yeah, I've seen it, it's really well acted, but there's no reason to ban it. Let's just ignore it and let Fang Zhengyi figure it out on his own."
Zhang Dongxiang came over and said, "I think it was performed so well! Not only can it not be banned, but it must be promoted throughout the city! What do you think?"
Li Yansong stroked his beard and said proudly, "I have never been ranked second in the exam since I was a child, so I don't feel anything when watching this play."
Zheng Qiao echoed, "Me too."
Zhang Dongxiang said in grief and indignation: "I have always been ranked first, but I only got first place in the provincial examination. This is a lifelong pain!"
Li Yansong and the other man suddenly looked enlightened. No wonder you like to watch a play like Fan Jin passing the imperial examination.
I got third place in the provincial examination... wouldn't that be worse than death? Unimaginable!
"Okay, silence! Silence!" Emperor Jing looked around with dissatisfaction.
I haven't said anything yet, but you guys have already started chatting. It seems that many people in the court have seen the play Fan Jin Zhongju.
"I have heard of this play, but I have not seen it with my own eyes. Fang Qing, what do you have to say?"
"Your Majesty, I second your opinion. This play has a huge impact, so why not just ban it to avoid causing trouble for Your Majesty?" Fang Zhengyi said sincerely.
"I didn't expect that Lord Yan would bring such a small matter to the court. I didn't expect that."
"Master Yan only needs to come and tell me that this matter will affect the emperor and I will naturally not let him perform. Why bring it up for discussion in the court?"
Yan Guoan looked at Fang Zhengyi in astonishment.
I had prepared a lot of things to say but I didn't say a single word. So Fang Zhengyi just gave in like that?
"However, there is one thing I cannot agree with. Those actors are innocent. Cutting off their financial resources is like killing their parents. Lord Yan, you are killing people!"
Fang Zheng's voice suddenly rose.
After hearing this shout, Yan Guoan covered his heart and looked at Fang Zhengyi viciously.
I was almost scared to death....damn this bastard!
"Okay! I approve it. Except that the actors can no longer play Fan Jin's success in the imperial examination, everything else can go on as usual."
"Minister! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Fang Zhengyi glanced at Yan Guoan with pride.
You want to criticize me, right? Can I give you a chance?
Shut your ass for me!
Then Fang Zheng strode into the hall, bowed and said, "I have a memorial to report!"
"Show it up."
Emperor Jing looked at Fang Zhengyi with some anticipation.
This kid suddenly became serious. Is he going to come up with something new?
The memorial was handed over by the eunuch. Emperor Jing opened it and took a look at it. Then his eyes twitched violently a few times and he closed his eyes.
"Fang Qing, please speak."
"Yes! Your Majesty, I have discovered that there is a kind of gambling game circulating among the people in the capital, where numbers are used for lottery and gambling."
"I believe that this kind of gambling is extremely harmful. Your Majesty, please strictly prohibit this kind of gambling method. No gambling is allowed without special permission!"
As soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, everyone was shocked.
Isn't this how you, Fang Zhengyi, play? Make Yan Guoan excited?
He was not allowed to perform the play and then cut off his own arm. What kind of operation is this?
"Very good, Mr. Fang is thoughtful. Do any of you have anything else to say?"
Fang Zheng turned his head to look at Li Yansong and the other two, then started winking at them.
Judging from the lip movements, it sounds like the eldest uncle, the second uncle, the third uncle...
The three ministers felt a little annoyed, but after thinking for a while, it seemed that there was no conflict of interest, so they said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I second the motion!"
As soon as the three finished speaking, someone at the end of the team stood up and said loudly: "I second the motion!"
Everyone looked at him...it turned out to be the shifty Yang Fengfan.
Everyone in front of him was staring at him with unfriendly expressions. The elder had just finished speaking when you, the last one in the line, were called first. Do you understand the rules?
Yang Fengfan was naturally not afraid at all.
I followed my uncle and shouted, "What's wrong? You bunch of scum!"
Fang Zheng glanced at him and gave him a thumbs up, what a guts!
With the affirmation from our backers, our future is definitely promising!
Yang Fengfan immediately looked delighted and stared back at his superior.
Everyone he stared at turned their heads away with a sullen look.
This guy is crazy, Shabi, we have to think of a way to deal with him after the court is dismissed!
Except for Yan Guoan and Zhang Shi who did not express their opinions, almost everyone agreed.
Although people felt that Fang Zhengyi's memorial was a bit strange, no one thought much about it. After all, it did not conflict with their own interests at all.
Banning gambling is a good thing!
Emperor Jing excitedly slapped the imperial desk and said, "Okay, I'll make the decision! Without the special permission of the emperor, no one is allowed to open a lottery game!"
"Mr. Fang, please draft a memorial for me later, with details..."
After saying that, he looked at the memorials on the table again.
It records in detail the gameplay, profit distribution, market prospects, and revenue expectations, which is similar to a simplified business plan...
When he thought of the shocking numbers written in it, Emperor Jing even felt a little uneasy.
