In the court.
As usual, all the ministers reported state affairs one by one.
Li Yuanzhao was still placed on the side, kneeling, but at this moment he seemed to be scratching his head and twisting his body left and right.
The reason was simple: a court official mentioned Fang Zhengyi again.
It had been two days since the imperial eunuch had delivered the decree, and the eunuch who had gone there actually ran back and forth to report on the same day. Why hadn't Fang Zhengyi made any move?
Looking at the group of old faces in the audience, Li Yuanzhao felt very bored.
Guo Tianyang was standing by and when he saw the prince behaving inappropriately he poked him.
Emperor Jing obviously noticed it as well and glanced at him casually.
"Aren't you all curious about what kind of person Fang Zhengyi is? I think we'll know when we meet him tomorrow."
Li Yuanzhao straightened up and nodded vigorously.
Come quickly! Our Tiger and Leopard Garden is waiting to be renovated!
Li Yansong smiled slightly and said, "I heard your majesty talk about Fang Zheng before, and I, an old minister, couldn't help but look forward to it."
"This man was able to work diligently for several years in a remote county without anyone paying attention to him at such a young age. This shows how good his character and skills are."
"Plus, the Crown Prince also likes this person. It couldn't be better to have a good teacher and a helpful friend. I congratulate Your Majesty on finding such a talented person!"
Zheng Qiao couldn't help but nodded.
Civil servants! Everyone likes this kind of down-to-earth and hard-working young people. The right way is to do more and talk less!
Be able to endure loneliness and be effective!
This man is steady and prudent at a young age, and has the favor of Your Majesty. He may have the opportunity to join the cabinet in the future.
So he also said: "Yes, according to this statement, this person has the style of an ancient minister! Besides, it is rare to find someone so young!"
Shi Kangping, the Minister of Rites, stroked his beard and echoed, "Yes, and Fang Zhengyi is only in his early twenties, which means he was only in his teens when he passed the imperial examination!"
"What a pity! Such a talent should be admitted to the Imperial Academy. However, it is not too late now. This talented person has gone through a period of polishing. Such a talent is really rare!"
There were flatteries everywhere in the court.
All the ministers began to look forward to this newcomer who would enter the court, as if he was a rising moral gentleman and a capable minister of governance!
Emperor Jingdi looked at his ministers flattering him with a smile on his face, while Li Yuanzhao's face turned red from holding back his laughter, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
Only Guo Tianyang had a sullen look on his face, secretly complaining in his heart.
Damn the style of the ancient ministers! If he were a gentleman, we would be great men!
I never thought that His Majesty would favor such a person!
Once Fang Zheng took off his official robe, he looked like a loser to us!
Li Yansong asked again: "I wonder what your Majesty's impression of this person is?"
Emperor Jing thought for a while, then stammered, "This man is quite... original."
You have said all the good things, and I have nothing more to say.
Fang Zhengyi does have abilities, but he has nothing to do with being a gentleman...
Not to mention anything else, have you ever seen a gentleman pouring manure into someone else's house?
Li Yansong was surprised and said, "Uh... Your Majesty, what does it mean to be original?"
Emperor Jing smiled and said, "This man has some quick wits. The solution to the flood is his idea."
Li Yuanzhao was unhappy. What do you mean he thought of it? I should have thought of it first!
If I propose a plan, I will be beaten, but if someone else proposes a plan, my father will agree?
Partial eyes!
Li Yansong smiled: "It's a good thing for young people to have quick wits. It shows that they can remain calm in times of crisis and be able to handle important tasks! It's really amazing!"
Emperor Jing also nodded with a smile, and then said: "Let's stop here today, if there is nothing else, we can leave the court!"
..............................
After adjourning the court, Emperor Jing went straight back to the Yangxin Palace.
He looked at the memorial on the table, then took out the intelligence written by Cheng Si and others and read it carefully.
It was full of mysterious words, such as earth-shattering... mountains collapsing, the earth splitting... and a sudden flash of fire.
Then he seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head and said to Guo Tianyang: "Guo Banban, why hasn't the spy I asked you to send to Taoyuan County responded yet?"
Guo Tianyang said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, I have already arranged it... but there is still no news to this day."
"Maybe... maybe I gained a lot! That's why I came back a little late."
Emperor Jing snorted coldly: "Then I might as well go and ask Fang Zhengyi directly! What use would you have for me?"
"I will die!" Guo Tianyang knelt down skillfully.
Emperor Jing looked at the memorial in his hand and said, "I am the Son of Heaven. I thought I had seen everything there is to see in the world, but I didn't expect to see Taoyuan County, which has such great merits!"
"If this thing was made by a craftsman... wouldn't it be invincible on the battlefield!"
"Forget it... I'd better just ask Fang Zheng directly!"
"Where is Fang Zhengyi now?"
When Guo Tianyang heard this, he perked up: "Your Majesty! Fang Zhengyi brought three people with him, two maids and Zhang Biao."
"They should probably be finding housing now...but the girl named Xiao Tao was sent out by him."
"Oh? What were they sent out for?" Emperor Jing was a little curious.
"He is searching the capital for someone named Li Long. He is probably looking for revenge..."
"Hahahahahahaha!" Emperor Jing burst into laughter. "As expected, he is a vindictive person. I'm curious about how he will behave when he sees me tomorrow!"
......
Inner city, north city
As soon as Fang Zheng and his companions entered the city, they found a house that was listed for sale through a real estate agent and made detailed inquiries before coming.
Now Fang Zhengyi was lying on his master's chair, with Bai Yi serving him and occasionally handing him a candied fruit to chew.
