Emperor Jing and Fang Zhengyi were still blowing each other's clothes in the carriage, but a big commotion broke out below.
Seeing that no one was stopping them, the people became more and more excited in the fight, and their fighting power exploded.
On the other hand, although those Hanlin scholars cannot be said to be powerless, their physical strength had long been drained.
If she is a woman, she can still fight back, but if she is a man, he will be thrown into the water on the spot.
The people around were extremely frightened and instead of offering a helping hand, they just stayed away from him.
A dozen people overturned the car and more than a hundred people were kneeling.
This scene naturally made Emperor Jing extremely disappointed.
I didn't expect that my ministers are really a bunch of good-for-nothings.
The one who suffered the most was Yang Yingcai. Originally, the woman was biting and pinching his arm, and now she was gradually biting up to his shoulder.
The situation seemed to be out of control.
Fang Zheng turned to Emperor Jing and said, "Your Majesty, leave this matter to me. Allow me to say a few more words."
"good."
Fang Zheng turned around and shouted.
"Everyone! Stop it, come quickly, get these people out!"
When the guards heard the order, they hurried down and pulled the angry people aside.
The Hanlin scholars remained silent at this time, and did not say a word even though they were in severe pain. Then they returned to their original positions and knelt down.
My heart is at a loss...
Fang Zhengyi stood on a high place and shouted, "I know you are dissatisfied in your hearts. You think I, Fang Zhengyi, am a despicable villain!"
"But do you know why the people who beat you just now did so?"
"I am here to tell you! The relatives of those people disappeared in the rainstorm and their whereabouts are still unknown. The culprit is Yan Guoan!"
"On ordinary days, they were already poorly clothed and hungry, and now they have suffered such a fate because of a mere rain."
"While they were searching for their relatives day and night, what were you doing? I'm afraid you were preparing delicious food and surrounded by your beautiful wives and concubines!"
"You keep saying you love the people like your own children, but is this the result of loving the people like your own children?"
"Whose sons, husbands, and fathers are those people who were affected by the rainstorm?"
"Do you still think Yan Guoan has done a good job in governing the town?"
After saying this, Fang Zhengyi immediately glanced at Emperor Jing calmly.
Seeing that he had no expression on his face, he pulled out a file from his waist, unfolded it and said loudly: "The rainstorm in Dengjinfang caused a disaster. A total of 24 people died and 48 people were missing! A total of 79 houses collapsed!"
"More than a hundred households were robbed in the flood! These records are from before Yan Guoan's death. The people were soaked in the heavy rain for three days and three nights! Where is Yan Guoan? He didn't take any action, but instead sent people to rescue the scholars and gentry in the neighborhood!"
"Those people already have many servants, why send more people to rescue them! It's a waste of manpower and resources! It's extremely stupid!"
"I haven't finished talking about the more outrageous things. Yan Guoan has always been biased towards scholars when judging cases. He said that there was a scholar named Zhang in the neighborhood who beat up the people. The people were dissatisfied and went to appeal, but the man was beaten with ten big boards again and the case was hastily closed."
"In the end, the file recorded a simple false accusation by a troublemaker. Ridiculous... Really ridiculous."
Fang Zheng got angry as he looked at the case file. If he didn't know, he would have thought it was the case file of Taoyuan County.
Are you, Yan Guoan, qualified to be as tough as me?
"So... do you have anything else to say?"
The people below all knelt down, calling out to Fang Qingtian.
No official has ever spoken like this for ordinary people like them.
Thinking of their missing family members, they couldn't help but feel sad and started sobbing.
After hearing about Yan Guoan's misdeeds and the people's cries, Yang Yingcai and others couldn't help but swallow their bitter water and lowered their heads.
I regretted it to the extreme.
I originally thought that if the plan failed, I could still leave a good reputation for myself, but now, not only have I suffered so much, but I have also become a bad person after failing...
Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one spoke.
Very good! Everything is going as planned, now we need to open up the layout!
Then he adjusted his mood and put on a sad expression.
"Master Yan Guoan is the pillar of the country in your eyes!"
"Your Majesty has worked so hard to establish the kingdom, but the emperor's feet have become like this! How painful it must be for your Majesty! Have you ever thought about it?"
"Yan Guoan has failed the country, failed his ancestors, and failed the heaven and earth!"
"And you, even though you all stand on the dry shore in a dignified manner, are you really that clean? I know that some of you actually regard Yan Guoan as a role model! I advise you to turn your hearts, lungs and intestines out, dry them in the sun, wash them, and tidy them up!"
"Now that the four seas have been settled, the biggest worry for Dajing is not at the border but in the court. If things get bad here, the whole country will be bad. Think about it carefully!"
"Ah~~"
After saying this, Fang Zheng put his hands behind his back, looking very pretentious.
As expected, Emperor Jing was moved again, tears appeared in his tiger eyes, and he patted Fang Zhengyi's shoulders heavily with both hands.
"Well said! Fang Qing, your words touched my heart..."
Fang Zhengyi had a heavy expression and pursed his lips tightly.
Teacher Daoming is awesome!
"Your Majesty, I just want to speak out... As a minister, I should strictly abide by the principles of loyalty and forgiveness. This is my duty."
Emperor Jing sighed and said, "If all the ministers in the world were like Fang Qing, why would we worry about the prosperity of the country?"
Fang Zhengyi said modestly: "No, I can only realize my ambitions if I meet a wise master."
Emperor Jing smiled and said, "Yes, Fang Qing's talent is comparable to Kunpeng."
"I dare not, I just love Kun..."
.................
The Hanlin scholars kneeling in the water listened to Emperor Jing and Fang Zhengyi bragging to each other, and they felt disheartened.
A greedy and sycophantic person seized the moral high ground, and those of us who are "clean" became dirty instead.
Lost....completely lost.
No face, total defeat!
People in the crowd kept asking disappointedly, "Should we...keep down?"
Yang Yingcai's heart bled as he listened to the discussion nearby.
Finally, he couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty! Yan Guoan is guilty...but who can escape such a natural disaster?"
"Dengjinfang is located in a low-lying area with a poor location. There are many hooligans here on weekdays."
"Can Yan Guoan be executed for this?"
"I will not surrender!"
"Shut up!" Emperor Jing was really angry this time. There are witnesses and evidence, and you still dare to argue!
Just as he was about to lose his temper, Fang Zheng said, "Your Majesty, why don't you invite them to Banshanfang for a look? I have already made arrangements."
Emperor Jing looked at Fang Zheng with admiration.
Wonderful, it's really wonderful, he can make people obey him no matter what he says or does.
In comparison, Guo Banban is becoming more and more useless!
The more Emperor Jing thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but glare at Guo Tianyang beside him.
"???"
Guo Tianyang was confused.
"Alright, get ready, Banshanfang!"
