Emperor Jing began to have a headache. What he valued was Fang Zheng's unique way of thinking and he wanted him to give the prince more inspiration.
At first, I thought Fang Zheng would be unpopular, but I didn't expect him to be so mean and offend everyone right away. How should I step down now...
Seeing that Emperor Jing remained silent, Yan Guoan could not help but become anxious: "Your Majesty! If you allow treacherous ministers to rule, I am afraid that the prince will develop a violent temper and have no mercy! Please understand, Your Majesty!"
Guo Tianyang's eyelids twitched and he said to himself, "Oh no!"
Your Majesty, don't you know that the Crown Prince has no compassion? Why are you talking nonsense here?!
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Emperor Jing said calmly, "Yes, I understand."
All the officials were disappointed after hearing this.
Got it? What do you mean got it? Judging from your Majesty's attitude, he doesn't want to touch Fang Zhengyi! What's so good about him?
Upon seeing this, Fang Zheng immediately bowed down and said, "Your Majesty! I think what Yan Zhanshi said is very true. I have no virtue or talent! Please take back your order!"
What? !
The ministers were dumbfounded. What happened? This guy was obviously very capable and His Majesty was biased towards him, but now he suddenly admitted defeat. What happened! ?
Emperor Jing knew exactly what Fang Zhengyi was thinking, so he said coldly, "No!"
Fang Zhengyi secretly thought that he was going to die, and pleaded again: "I am not qualified to be the Junior Secretary, and I am disliked by others here, which has caused a lot of trouble. Please take back your order!"
Emperor Jing frowned and said, "My words are spoken with gold and jade, you can't just take them back if you want to! No!"
Fang Zhengyi mustered up his courage again and shouted, "Please! Your Majesty, please think twice!"
What? What? What?
This time everyone was stunned. It looked like Fang Zheng was determined to leave! His Majesty was determined to keep him. What was going on?
Zhang Dongxiang, who had recovered his breath at this time, looked at Fang Zhengyi with a complicated expression. Why did this guy suddenly contradict the emperor?
Emperor Jing was really angry this time!
You have repeatedly tried to resign, just to return to Taoyuan County and live a carefree life! I will not let you do so!
Emperor Jing suddenly stood up, picked up the inkstone on the table and smashed it towards Fang Zheng.
The inkstone smashed to the ground, breaking into pieces, and ink splashed all over Fang Zheng.
Then I heard Emperor Jing angrily say, "Fang Zhengyi! If you dare to say one more word, I will chop off your head! Don't think I don't know what you are thinking!"
"You have to do this, Young Master Zhanshi! You have to do it whether you want to or not!"
"If you can't achieve results, I will chop off your head anyway! Do you understand?"
"Retreat!"
After saying this, Emperor Jing angrily threw his sleeves and left, and Guo Tianyang and the prince hurriedly followed.
Retreat... Retreat? Retreat now!? Your Majesty, why is he acting so abnormal today?
Everyone was stunned, and then all eyes were focused on Fang Zhengyi again.
Yan Guoan glared at Fang Zhengyi, then shook his sleeves and left.
"Mr. Li, what does His Majesty mean?" Zheng Qiao said to Li Yansong.
Li Yansong sighed: "Fang Zhengyi is retreating to advance, what a good move. I'm afraid he won't be able to stop in the future. Take good care of the prince. I'm leaving too!"
After saying that, he left the hall with his hands behind his back.
In the palace, Fang Zhengyi's face was filled with disappointment... As expected, Emperor Jing was unwilling to let go.
I offended all my colleagues right away. The bad days are coming. Why do I always start with hell difficulty every time I change the map? My Taoyuan County... When can I go home?
There was no point in thinking about it any further, Fang Zhengyi could only shake his head and walked out of the hall dejectedly.
Arriving at the entrance of the main hall and watching the rising sun, Fang Zhengyi just wanted to smoke a cigarette and drink a glass of wine to relieve the depression in his heart, but unfortunately there was neither cigarette nor wine.
"Master Fang has great means?" A teasing voice came from my ear.
Fang Zheng turned his head expressionlessly.
A small official with shifty eyes was talking to him, and said to him in a sarcastic tone: "Master Fang, this tactic of retreating to advance is very clever. No wonder you are trusted by His Majesty."
"Who are you?"
The sly-looking man said in a loud voice, "I am Yang Fengfan, the Imperial Academy Editor!"
"He~tui!" Fang Zhengyi was too lazy to pay attention to him and spat directly on Yang Fengfan's boots.
Yang Fengfan was shocked and took a step back, saying angrily: "How can you be so rude! It's really disrespectful!"
"Your appearance is unrefined, please stay away from me."
Someone nearby couldn't help laughing when he heard Fang Zhengyi talking, thinking that this guy was really sharp-tongued and never gave in with his words.
Yang Fengfan sarcastically said, "Zhanshi Fang is so calm and composed. He has offended everyone, but he is still here leisurely?"
Fang Zheng glanced at him and said, "How dare you, a mere sixth-rank editor, act so rudely in front of me? Don't you know if I have someone above me?"
Yang Fengfan immediately became alert: "Who?"
Fang Zheng chuckled: "Of course it's Eunuch Guo who is beside the emperor. He is my beloved relative and close friend. I pick up the food for him when he eats!"
"Do you still want to be a compiler? If you do, get out of here!"
Yang Fengfan suddenly realized, that's why! Fang Zhengyi's confidence is here, no wonder the emperor cares about him so much! Guo Yan must have whispered something in His Majesty's ear!
This person is so shameless. As a scholar, he actually associates with eunuchs!
Yang Fengfan felt even more contemptuous in his heart, but frightened by the tyranny of Eunuch Guo, he left in disgrace.
Fang Zhengyi doesn't want to stay here anymore. Until now, no one from the Ministry of Rites has come to make arrangements for him. He doesn't even know which way the door to the East Palace opens. He might as well just go home!
After figuring it out, he got up and walked away.
Not long after they walked away, Guo Tianyang caught up with them in small steps and shouted behind Fang Zhengyi, "Wait a moment, County Magistrate Fang! Please stay!"
