Chapter 421 Something is poking me



Li Miaohan obviously didn't understand what Fang Zhengyi meant.

She blinked her innocent eyes and looked at Fang Zhengyi with confusion.

Meeting the princess's pure and innocent eyes, Fang Zheng felt ashamed.

The feeling of shame for deceiving an ignorant and pure girl rose in my heart again.

"Two days... Three days doesn't seem to be enough energy."

"???"

"What are you talking about? What about overtime? Um...what is this?"

Fang Zheng grabbed Li Miaohan's hand that was stretched behind his waist and groaned inwardly.

"Jade pendant! It's a jade pendant!" Facing Li Miaohan's questioning, he quickly changed the subject: "Your Highness, you will be in charge of all matters related to the textile factory. If you think it's unreasonable, then tell the people below. After all, whether in name or in fact, the textile factory should be controlled by you."

"I came here this time because I have something important to tell His Highness."

"I have to go out on a business trip this time, and I'm afraid I won't be back for a while." Fang Zhengyi's expression gradually became serious: "This trip is very far, and I won't have the chance to see Your Highness again for the time being, so I came here specially to say goodbye."

Li Miaohan shuddered and looked at Fang Zhengyi: "How long do we have to walk? Is it dangerous?"

Fang Zheng smiled.

Can't I take down a small salt merchant? What danger can there be?

"It's not dangerous, it just takes some time."

"Your Majesty said, get the job done, and I'll take whatever you ask for."

"When I come back, I will marry you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Li Miaohan responded, Fang Zhengyi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Hiss...Why does this sound familiar...I feel like I've heard it somewhere before!

Did I say that before? I can't remember...

Li Miaohan was already very confused at this time, feeling both happy and surprised!

What made her happy was that Fang Zheng said he wanted to marry her, although this was not the first time he had said this.

However, it was her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, especially as a daughter of the royal family, she had no freedom.

But as soon as Fang Zheng said this, her heart was completely at peace at that moment.

But when I thought about how long he would be gone and when he would be back, I felt an indescribable sense of loss.

Li Miaohan stretched out her arms, hugged Fang Zhengyi's waist, pressed her face tightly against his chest, and murmured, "I'll wait for you to come back, no matter how long it takes."

Fang Zhengyi couldn't help but soften his heart, and stroked Li Miaohan's hair gently, saying softly: "Don't worry, it will be soon, very soon..."

As he spoke, he gently pushed Li Miaohan away and lowered his head...

After parting with the princess, Fang Zhengyi also felt emotional.

After all, she is a princess, so it's not easy. If she was an ordinary woman, I would just marry her!

If my father-in-law doesn’t accept it, I’ll take action!

This is great. Let's not talk about whether I can compete with Emperor Jing first. I heard that His Majesty is very powerful. Although I am young... I may not be able to beat him...

Riding a horse all the way out of the palace, if nothing unexpected happened, Li Yuanzhao usually loved hanging out in the newspaper office.

Although there are many stories in the newspapers, the really interesting things are actually the manuscripts that were rejected.

Of course, outsiders had no way of knowing, but Li Yuanzhao liked to read the messy stories brought back by reporters every day.

When I arrived at the newspaper office, Li Yuanzhao was not there.

Xie Xian was not there either, instead Shen Yi was on duty.

As the candidate with the highest academic qualifications in the entire newspaper except Fang Zhengyi, Shen Yi, who worked part-time and studied part-time, was naturally nominated.

At this time, Shen Yi was still busy reviewing manuscripts, with a thick pile of manuscripts on the left and various classic interpretations on the right.

When Fang Zheng saw this, he couldn't help but sigh that the life of a top student is different from that of an ordinary person.

Working so hard yet still full of energy.

If I had this much energy back then, I would have become the king...

“Chen Yi, where is the Crown Prince?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi immediately looked up and saw that it was Fang Zhengyi, so he hurriedly stood up and saluted: “Sir Fang, His Highness has been gone for a while. I heard that he went to the textile factory to take a look.”

"Well, then you are busy. I will leave first."

"Master Fang, please stay!" Shen Yi stopped Fang Zhengyi in time: "Master Fang, there is an important matter that needs your decision."

"Just now, someone from the Six Ministries came and told us to pay attention to the impact of future articles we write. Some articles have caused the people to be dissatisfied with the court... He also said that future articles must be submitted to the Six Ministries for review."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng's face suddenly darkened: "Oh, they are really good at stretching their hands! They dare to speak here without even seeing me and the Crown Prince. Who gave them the courage!?"

"Write whatever you need to write. Don't be afraid of them, and don't leave it to them. If there is any problem, just push it to the prince!"

"Ah... this..."

“Ah what!?”

Shen Yi swallowed his saliva: "But the people in the Six Ministries' General Report do have some truth in what they said. Some of our manuscripts, such as those involving unjust, false and wrong cases, do have some impact on the people... When our people were collecting folk songs in the market, they heard a lot of harsh voices... If it reaches your majesty's ears, will it have an impact on you?"

"Harsh? If they think it's harsh, they shouldn't do such dirty things! They are whores and want to be virtuous. They feel happy even if we don't say anything!"

Having said that, Fang Zhengyi couldn't help but feel worried.

Indeed, after all, it is not like Taoyuan County can control the overall situation. The capital is too big and the news spreads all over the world, it is easy to get out of control. If the people's dissatisfaction becomes more and more serious, it will affect the prestige of the court in the future.

In ancient times, unlike modern times, in traditional concepts, reputation is extremely important!

This kind of matter is of utmost importance in the eyes of the emperor and all the officials in the court, and he himself is one of them.

Moreover, as people are exposed to more information, they will surely become bolder and bolder.

If you are taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, it will be difficult to solve the trouble in the future.

"But there's no need to be too tough with them. This is easy to handle! Just mention the topic at the end of each article from now on!"

"How do you choose the topic?" Shen Yi asked curiously.

"Well... For example, if mutton is sold at a high price, they would say that the outsiders from Beirong are driving up the prices. If there are false cases, they would say that the Beirong traitors are causing trouble and corrupting the court!"

"To sum it up, Beirong is shooting himself in the foot!"

“………” Shen Yi’s face fell.

He is a professional who seeks to redress grievances for the people, uphold justice, and seek truth from facts as the most basic requirements.

This way, I really feel a little bit unable to accept it.

"Master Fang, shouldn't we report fake news?"

"Who told you to report fake news? I'm implying that you can't do that! Two pieces of news are written in the same section. What the people think is their business! Okay, figure it out slowly! I'm leaving!"

“........”

Isn't this provoking trouble? Does Lord Fang want to personally go to the battlefield and gain military merit? No way!

Shen Yi muttered as he looked at Fang Zhengyi's departing back.
