Court meeting.
As expected, yesterday's special edition was placed on Emperor Jing's desk again.
After Zhang Shi handed over the newspaper, he gave Fang Zheng a sinister look, then lowered his head without saying a word.
Emperor Jing looked at Fang Zhengyi with a grim face, even though he had read the newspaper a long time ago.
Seeing that he looked confused, he immediately flew into a rage: "Fang Zhengyi! Is this your fault!?"
After saying that, he threw the newspaper to the ground.
Fang Zheng shuddered and became much more sober.
I stayed up late yesterday to write the Spiritual Ginseng Soup as a draft and didn’t sleep for half the night.
Seeing that Emperor Jing was furious, he quickly jumped out and shouted, "I am guilty! Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Emperor Jing looked at Fang Zhengyi, still angry: "You are so brave! Tell me where you went wrong."
"I shouldn't have angered Your Majesty. I was so angry that I hurt your body! I wish I could bang my head against a pillar and die!"
Emperor Jing glared and said, "Okay! Then go ahead and hit him!"
Fang Zhengyi: "............"
Emperor Jing squinted at Fang Zhengyi and said, "Hit? Why not? Are you afraid of death?"
Damn, why don’t you play by the rules?
Fang Zhengyi said with a stiff face: "I dare you! But death can be as light as a feather or as heavy as a mountain. I still want to keep my useful body and serve Your Majesty."
Emperor Jing sneered, "What a silver tongue!"
"You have openly slandered my ministers, and damaged the prestige of the court, but it has only helped your reputation, Fang Zhengyi. My dear ministers, tell me how I should punish Fang Zhengyi!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Yingcai immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Fang Zhengyi spread rumors and caused trouble, which has shaken the foundation of the country. He should be killed!"
Li Yuanzhao panicked when he heard this and quickly looked at Fang Zhengyi.
Fang Zheng quickly returned a glance.
I had already reminded Li Yuanzhao last night not to interrupt anything happening in the court.
This bunch of old hands wanted to get me, but Emperor Jing would never kill me for the small mistake I had made.
This wave tells you that if you want to repair a window, you have to tear down the roof first.
Zhang Shi immediately stood up and said, "I second the proposal! In addition, I suggest that the power to publish daily newspapers be returned to the palace and reviewed by the palace. This way, such problems will not occur again."
Many officials followed suit.
Yang Fengfan looked at Fang Zhengyi worriedly.
This thigh cannot be broken... I finally held it with great difficulty, and if it falls, I will not be able to live like a human being from now on.
"Your Majesty! I have something to say." Fang Zhengyi immediately prepared to refute.
"Stop talking, shut up!" Emperor Jing interrupted immediately.
You'd better keep your filthy mouth shut. The more you talk, the more mistakes you make!
"Master Li, what do you think?"
Emperor Jing looked at Li Yansong and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. Normally, he and Fang Zhengyi should have a good relationship, but this time, apart from Zhang Shi, he was the one who was cheated the most.
Now many people are privately saying that he is Fang Zheng's uncle.
Fang Zhengyi is a ruthless guy...
Li Yansong stood up with a sullen face and glanced at Fang Zhengyi, his eyes full of helplessness.
Just cut it off...it's good to cut it off.
Such a monster should not appear in the court!
"Your Majesty, I believe Fang Zheng's crime does not deserve death. In the final analysis, it was for disaster relief."
"Since he is so eager to help the public, I suggest that Fang Zhengyi be demoted to the position of Jianjiang Tongpan and sent to Jianjiang to help with disaster relief."
Zheng Qiao and others stood up and said, "We second the motion."
Several people discussed this matter in the public housing yesterday.
Fang Zhengyi is such a scourge, he must be demoted! I just don't know where your majesty's standards are.
If they were to keep things small and stay in the capital, the Crown Prince would be around and there would inevitably be trouble.
If this forced donation thing happens a few more times, everyone will really get tired of it and will ask him to get away from it.
Fang Zheng stared at Li Yansong blankly with his eyes wide open.
I called you uncle in vain...you were setting an ambush for me here!
If I go to the south, won’t there be a new hell-level map?
Zhang Shi glanced at Li Yansong indifferently.
I didn't expect that Mr. Li would protect Fang Zhengyi even after being cheated so badly. Could it be... that they are real relatives?
Emperor Jing smiled.
He was thinking of demoting Fang Zhengyi, but he hadn't thought of demoting him to a disaster area.
It would be better to send this scourge away than to kill him. If he wants to cause trouble, he can go to the disaster area and maybe he can come up with some new tricks!
At worst, you can adjust it back after a while.
"That's great. Master Li is mature and prudent. I will demote Fang Zhengyi to the position of Tongpan of Jianjiang. I will give you one month to go to Jianjiang to take up the post. There must be no mistakes!"
A Hanlin scholar stood up and said suddenly, "Your Majesty! This sentence is too light!"
"Fang Zheng has caused chaos in the imperial court and has already had a bad influence on the people! How can such a person rule for the people?"
"I suggest that he should be demoted to a commoner!"
Fang Zheng's eyes lit up.
That's fine! Common people are common people, and they can live in peace for a while longer...
"And I've heard rumors among the people that Lord Li... Lord Li is Fang Zhengyi's uncle! I wonder if Lord Li is favoring Fang Zhengyi!"
Li Yansong's old face suddenly turned red.
He pointed at himself and stared at the Hanlin with wide eyes.
Zheng Qiao and Zhang Dongxiang standing by looked uneasy, lowering their heads and shrinking inwards.
"I am not his uncle!!! How dare you slander me?"
Fang Zhengyi said dissatisfiedly: "Do you need to slander me so harshly just because I am your uncle? What's wrong with me, Fang Zhengyi?"
"Shut up!" Emperor Jing and Li Yansong shouted at the same time.
Fang Zhengyi immediately retracted his head.
The young Hanlin was quite brave and continued, "Mr. Li, everyone has seen what's in the newspaper."
