After having a relaxing ten days, I have to go back to work.
Fang Zheng felt a headache.
I have restored the habit of sleeping six hours a day, but now I have to get up early again.
It is normal to attend court once every ten days or half a month.
Emperor Jing was obviously a diligent emperor. He slept less than three hours a day and attended court every day.
The boss is already in the company, how can the workers sleep?
He had to come no matter how unwilling he was.
It was the new maid, Luo Ningxin, who woke him up early in the morning.
She helped him wash and dress himself with great skill, and Fang Zhengyi was extremely satisfied.
It’s just that Miss Luo seemed to be less talkative when she arrived at the Fang Mansion.
Just work hard.
Very good! This woman is beautiful, works quickly, and can pretend to be mute. There is nothing wrong with her!
Fang Zhengyi, feeling very satisfied, got on the sedan chair and was sent to the Meridian Gate in a half-awake state.
A group of ministers were already waiting outside the Meridian Gate.
As soon as Fang Zheng got off the car, he saw many old acquaintances and immediately smiled and greeted each of them.
Fortunately, although everyone is annoyed with him, they still have to save face.
Besides, there’s no need to mention this guy’s future. We can’t get along too badly with him!
Except for Yang Yingcai, everyone in the crowd had been looking at Fang Zhengyi coldly.
Seeing Fang Zhengyi shamelessly coming up to greet him, he politely returned the greeting.
"Hello, Lord Yang! Long time no see!"
Yang Yingcai smiled with a fake smile: "Congratulations, Lord Fang, you are so sensible, so bold and careful that you dared to execute the prefect of Jianjiang with the position of Tongpan."
"It's really admirable."
Seeing this old man being so sarcastic with him, Fang Zhengyi was not polite and said with a smile: "Master Yang, you are too polite!"
"What's wrong with the Tongpan? Some corrupt officials should be killed! If they are reported to higher levels and officials protect each other, won't the corrupt officials go unpunished?"
"Could it be that... Lord Yang has a personal relationship with Liu Xun?"
Yang Yingcai waved his hands quickly: "Hey! Don't talk nonsense!"
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "It's just a joke! Sir Yang, don't take it seriously!"
Yang Yingcai's face flushed red, and he swung his sleeves and angrily said, "You are kidding! Can you joke about something like this? Is it a joke that Lord Fang beheaded the prefect of Jianjiang without informing him?"
Fang Zheng looked at his expression and suddenly realized something.
I was wondering why this old guy was like he was shot.
This old-fashioned guy! He found fault with me even though I didn't follow the procedures?
Fang Zhengyi looked directly at Yang Yingcai and said without any hesitation, "Prefect? Prefect is nothing! In the capital, a brick thrown at you can knock down a group of people who are more powerful than the prefect."
"No matter how big or small the power is, it is for the people and the court. Liu Xun broke the law knowingly and deserves death. He should be killed."
"I'm not talking about you, an old man like you, you still need to be more aware of your thoughts!"
"you!!"
Yang Yingcai was speechless after being criticized, as he himself was also a good talker!
What public morality or private morality can be criticized to death if there is a crack?
This guy has no morals... he can't attack the weak points.
Yang Yingcai was still thinking of a countermeasure, but Fang Zhengyi turned around and left as he felt bored.
A group of officials were still watching the fun with smiles on their faces not far away.
It's so beautiful to see people fighting so early in the morning! It makes me feel more energetic!
Yang Fengfan, who was standing next to him, saw that the two men had finished their conversation and hurriedly moved closer to Fang Zheng.
With a flattering face, he said: "Congratulations, Lord Fang, on your reinstatement!"
Fang Zheng glanced at him and said, "Oh, thank you very much. Xiao Yang, what's the matter?"
"Hey? Where is Mr. Li? Why can't I see him?"
Seeing that Fang Zheng remembered him, Yang Fengfan smiled even more brightly.
He moved closer and whispered, "I saw it just now, I don't know where it went."
"Maybe I'm afraid of seeing you?"
"Afraid of me? Why would he be afraid of me?" Fang Zheng was completely confused.
Yang Fengfan smiled slyly and said, "Of course I'm scared!"
"He is your uncle, and you are now at the peak of your career."
"It's not nice to be together. Avoid suspicion! Avoid suspicion!"
"Oh~, so it's to avoid suspicion!"
Fang Zhengyi tilted his mouth and said loudly: "Tsk tsk, tell me! We are all family, why are we doing this?! There is no need for this!"
"That's right! That's right!" Yang Fengfan echoed repeatedly.
Li Yansong, who was hiding in a corner not far away, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
I couldn't help but beat my chest and stamp my feet.
I thought the matter would be over once Fang Zheng finished explaining it.
Unexpectedly, the situation became more and more serious in the capital.
Some people even said that all the food in their homes was donated by Fang Zhengyi!!
Even people from my hometown wrote to ask about this matter.
He had been in the court for decades and had never encountered such a strange thing.
Three people make a tiger, and people's words are scary!
He had a mouth full of words but couldn't explain himself. All he could do was to hide as far away as possible!
Now this damn Fang Zheng is so arrogant that he says such things in front of so many people!
"I...I..." Li Yansong kept gasping for breath.
The servant beside him quickly stroked his chest to help him calm down.
Fortunately, the bells of the Bell and Drum Department rang soon and the palace gates opened.
Courtiers began to pour in.
All the ministers were present, and Emperor Jingdi, sitting high above them, glanced at Fang Zhengyi.
"Fang Qing, I thought you wouldn't come again if I didn't send someone to call you."
Fang Zheng smiled awkwardly and remained silent.
It’s been delayed for ten days, which is not bad!
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Emperor Jing turned around and said directly: "A big thing happened recently."
"The border guards have sent me several secret reports."
"The twenty-six tribes of the Northern Rong were swept away one by one by the Wuliangchi tribe, and their chieftain Wutu was elected as the leader."
"According to secret reports, he has made great achievements in battle and led the troops in battle."
"Now it has become a major concern for me, Da Jing,"
"However, the Honglu Temple has already received the letter of envoy from the Northern Rong. In a month, the delegation...
Emperor Jing was speaking on top.
Fang Zhengyi was smacking his fingers in his heart.
We won’t have to go to war!
A few years ago in Taoyuan County, I always heard fighting here and there.
I always feel that fighting in ancient times was as easy as eating and drinking. I haven't had two days of peace in my life.
The Northern Rong has appeared again.
He had heard of Beirong, but he didn't know much about it.
One reason was that they were too far away, and the other was that they had no interest in the war and just wanted to retreat and live their own lives.
Now that foreign enemies are rising, shouldn’t we take out the gunpowder in advance?
It is better to be prepared. In case a new war breaks out in the next one or two years, we can be prepared in advance.
Emperor Jing continued, "Years of war in the north have depleted our national strength."
"So I think the delegation came here to seek peace. What do you think?"
"Fang Qing...Fang Qing! What do you think?"
Fang Zheng was dumbfounded, as he was just thinking about making gunpowder weapons to defend against the enemy.
The emperor actually asked himself the question.
I really don't understand this! In war, you can't pretend to know something when you don't...
But the emperor couldn't say he didn't know, so he could only bite the bullet and answer: "Your Majesty, I think it's too early to discuss this matter. It's better to wait until the delegation arrives before discussing it."
