Zhang Shi nodded slightly: "Your Majesty is wise. Should I report this matter to His Majesty? Fang Zhengyi's favor is growing day by day. It would be better for Your Majesty to suppress him than to win him over."
King Wu was silent for a moment. "I have the same idea. There are rumors among the people recently that the textile factory was run by the fifth princess. Have you heard of it?"
"I have heard of it, but in fact it was Fang Zhengyi who was behind it. I don't understand why this matter is related to the princess."
King Wu sneered, "Fang Zhengyi once treated the princess for illness, and he entered the harem many times at night after the textile factory was established. This king suspects that the two of them have an affair!"
"My brother must have known about this, but he didn't stop it, so he must have tacitly agreed. If my brother approves the marriage, it will be troublesome to win him over later."

Zhang Shi was shocked, but it was not this incident that shocked him.
"The prince has also placed people in the palace?"
The King of Wu waved his hand and said, "He is just a eunuch, an old man, and cannot be used for any important purpose."

King Wu sneered at this and said, "Why? Do you regret following me? It's okay to regret it, just go and tell your brother, but don't forget where your Zhang family gets the two million taels of silver every year..."
Zhang Shi swallowed hard and gritted his teeth and said, "I don't regret it, but I want to know if Your Majesty wants to..."
King Wu shook his head and said, "It's not time yet. It's still a long way off! My brother's hands are tightly clenched... Silver alone is far from enough."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything without absolute certainty."
Zhang Shi's heart suddenly dropped: "In the past two days, His Majesty has sent people to the Ministry of Revenue to check the accounts of salt affairs in various places, but everything is normal, there will be no problem."
"Okay, got it."
"Then... impeach Fang Zhengyi..."
King Wu suddenly smiled contemptuously: "I don't believe it, do you think my brother will believe it?"
"You are far from being able to suppress Fang Zhengyi with just this. You can handle this matter on your own. I will not interfere!"
"However, you can go and ask Mr. Yan..."
