Emperor Jing stood there awkwardly.
These words did inspire him, but he still felt like he was being deceived.
Li Yuanzhao reacted quickly and shouted, "Wouldn't it be easier if I just burned the books?"
Fang Zheng sighed and patted Emperor Jing on the shoulder.
He said earnestly: "Old Li, your son has some problems with his thinking! He wants to burn books... you see..."
\"Shut up, you bastard! Is it your turn to speak?\"
"I have spoiled you too much on weekdays. Now you dare to think of burning books!"
Emperor Jing rebuked loudly, but he felt helpless in his heart.
Fang Zhengyi obviously didn't want to say more. He wasn't sure whether he couldn't continue or didn't want to talk.
Li Yuanzhao immediately shut his mouth and looked at Emperor Jing with resentment.
Fang Zheng laughed: "You're too kind! You're too kind, Old Li. You're just a kid!"
"Don't burn books anymore! Playing with fire and wetting the kang!"
Li Yuanzhao's eyes widened. Who the hell burned the books? If you can't argue with me, you're going to sue me!
Be a decent person! I thought you were pretty good before! You are really a scumbag!
Then Li Yuanzhao closed his mouth and said nothing.
Several people continued walking on the street, but the two people in front were chatting happily, while the old and the young in the back hung their heads and kept their lips tightly closed.
The scene looked quite odd, attracting the attention of passers-by.
.......................
In half a day, the group had already visited most of Taoyuan County.
After the sun set, the two groups said goodbye to each other.
Emperor Jing and his entourage returned to Youjian Inn.
Li Yuanzhao was very tired after playing all day, so he went straight back to his room to rest.
Emperor Jing was sitting in the room with a map on the table, his eyes constantly wandering around.
Guo Tianyang stood behind him like a wooden stake, not saying a word.
a long time.
Emperor Jing stood up, rolled up the map, and said, "You stay here and look after the prince... I have to go to the county government office."
"Your Majesty is going to see Fang Zhengyi?"
Guo Tianyang was a little anxious. It was not a good sign that Fang Zhengyi had gained the emperor's trust before he even entered the court.
"Does your majesty really think Fang Zhengyi has a solution to the flood?"
Emperor Jing frowned slightly: "Can't you see? The flood is serious, but judging from Fang Zhengyi's expression, there may be a solution!"
"It's just that this boy is unwilling to speak, probably because he is afraid of alarming the court."
Guo Tianyang bowed and said, "I am an old and stupid servant...but I really cannot believe that Fang Zhengyi has the means to summon the thunder!"
"If he had such ability, wouldn't he be a god? It seems to me that he is probably trying to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune from the national crisis."
"It's true that Fang Zhengyi is greedy for money, and it's also true that he doesn't want to get promoted."
There was anger in Emperor Jing's tone: "An official has no ambition at all! Fang Zhengyi is really despicable! When the flood is over, no matter Fang Zhengyi has any solution or not, I will let him enter the capital!"
"If you have talent but don't think about serving your country, how are you any different from an animal!?"
"If he likes money, I can make him the richest man in the world! Why should he cower in Taoyuan County?"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Humph! If I were truly wise, I wouldn't have allowed Fang Zhengyi to hide under my nose for so many years! Okay, I'll go see the prince first, and then go directly to the county government office."
"You and the prince stay here safely, don't let him run around!"
Then Emperor Jing slowly opened the door and turned to walk towards the prince's room.
The prince was apparently used to being served by others. This time, he didn't bring Liu Jin with him and didn't even know to lock the door.
A person's vigilance is extremely low when he is outside!
Emperor Jing was somewhat glad that he brought the prince out.
The prince has been raised in the deep palace for many years. Although he is smart, he lacks experience. Although she speaks harshly, she does not want the prince to experience too many twists and turns in her heart.
So much so that when the children of ordinary people reached his age, they were all born on the same kang!
The prince, however, only knew how to fiddle with those useless things and was not very interested in matters between men and women.
Emperor Jing pushed open the door and walked slowly into the house.
I thought the prince had already gone to bed, but unexpectedly I saw a faint light coming from his bedroom.
Emperor Jing walked over out of curiosity.
I saw the prince lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt. An oil lamp was swaying on the bedside, and his right hand was constantly flipping through a book.
In the light of the oil lamp, the prince's complexion looked particularly rosy.
Because the room was extremely quiet, the prince's breathing was unusually heavy.
Emperor Jing became more and more curious and walked straight to the prince, but the prince didn't notice him!
Still concentrating on reading the contents of the book.
Emperor Jing glanced over and was immediately furious!
It turned out that this book was a vernacular book that the prince bought at a bookstall during the day when he was not paying attention!
The content of the book was so unbearable that it was hard to finish reading. The chapter the prince read was about a female spy from an enemy country named Feng Kelin who was captured by the county magistrate and was undergoing severe torture.
Emperor Jing stared blankly for a while, then closed his eyes in pain!
This rebellious son actually enjoyed watching such disgusting things.
As expected, Taoyuan County is not upright at the top and the bottom is crooked! The county magistrate is not serious, and the book he publishes is even more not serious!
So Emperor Jing snatched the book away, and on the cover was written "The Golden County Magistrate".
The moment the book was snatched away, the prince was shocked all over, collapsed on the bed, and then turned around in anger!
Which bastard dares to snatch my book at this moment!
Seeing that it was Emperor Jing, Li Yuanzhao's eyes were filled with fear. He tucked the quilt tightly and said awkwardly, "Father...what do you want from me?"
