"I will not change. I was originally a foolish man. The reason I have been able to get to where I am now and have everything going smoothly is thanks to your Majesty's support."
"Since Your Majesty has a keen eye for distinguishing loyal from treacherous people, why should I change? If I want to do something, I should just be myself!" Fang Zheng sighed.
Emperor Jing pointed at him, shook his head and laughed, "You, please keep your mouth shut in front of all the officials."
Fang Zhengyi laughed secretly in his heart.
Haha, although I haven’t slept for two days, our business has been online all the time!
No matter what, he is the emperor father-in-law, he can still be controlled!
"Can you tell me what happened first?"
Fang Zhengyi took two deep breaths of fresh air and regained some of his spirit. He spoke slowly, "After I was taken away by the King of Wu, he forced me to give him the formula for gunpowder. I was in a stalemate with him for two days, and then my guards came to rescue me."
"Although the process was extremely dangerous, fortunately I was lucky. Qiao Zhuang disguised himself as a subordinate of the King of Wu and escaped."
"Then I accidentally got lost in the mountains and ended up in Yuding City."
"The King of Wu once told me that the ship he was on was built by a family in Yuding City. I suspected that the local officials had connections with the King of Wu. I concealed my identity and stayed in Yuding City to investigate this matter. However, I found out that the local officials were not aware of the King of Wu's rebellion."
"Later, the people from the East Factory found me, and I returned. That's basically what happened."
Emperor Jing thought for a moment and asked, "What is the inside story of the salt merchant case? How did the fourth brother hide it for so long?"
"Your Majesty, the King of Wu is extremely ambitious. He started plotting this when the two countries of Gan and Jing were at war! The private salt network has spread all over the south, and this false account has been created since then."
"He and Zhang Shi were colluding inside and outside, so it's normal that we couldn't find any clues."
"In addition, King Wu also played a certain role in the defeat of the State of Gan. The rampant illegal salt had a significant impact on the State of Gan. King Wu also planned the accidental death of the Emperor of the State of Gan."
There was a flash of shock in Emperor Jing's eyes, and he murmured, "The fourth brother is so far-sighted... Did he have a role in this?"
Fang Zhengyi took out a memorial from his bosom and handed it over, saying, "Your Majesty, I cannot describe everything at once, but the details are already written here. Please read it."
Emperor Jing took the memorial and nodded, still feeling a little unbelievable: "I didn't expect it... I really didn't expect it, I will read it carefully. In addition, I have already guessed that Zhang Shi will have contact with him, so I have ordered people to monitor him in advance."
"The Jinyiwei has now set up a government office. The North and South Pacification Offices are in charge of the guard discipline and case investigation. I have selected some military merits and have appointed them to the positions."
"We are short of manpower at the moment, so you can select some good people to join the Jinyiwei. I will send someone to give you the specific rules and regulations."
"And you want... Fang Qing, Fang Qing?"
While Emperor Jing was speaking, Fang Zhengyi had already fallen asleep in his chair with his head tilted.
I haven't eaten or slept for two days, and this is my limit.
Looking at him sleeping, Emperor Jing smiled helplessly and sighed to Guo Tianyang:
"Fang Qing is dedicated and dedicated, he is truly a model of a loyal subject. At his age, he is full of energy, and it seems that this trip has really exhausted him."
"Send him to bed, and when he wakes up, let him go back to Taoyuan County to rest for two days before coming to see me. I will reward him again then."
.....
When Fang Zhengyi woke up from his coma, it was already early morning of the next day.
I had a very refreshing sleep, feeling very clear-headed.
But when he woke up, he found himself in the East Palace and his clothes had been changed.
Li Yuanzhao was not in the East Palace, perhaps he had gone out. Fortunately, a palace maid stayed behind to report the news and deliver breakfast.
After finishing breakfast, the carriage and horses had already been prepared, and Fang Zhengyi went straight to his home in the capital.
When Menzi saw Fang Zhengyi coming back, he was immediately surprised and was about to go back to report, but was stopped by Fang Zhengyi in time.
As soon as I stepped into the yard, the first thing I saw was Xiaotao, who was sitting beside a stone bench, looking bored.
He held his chin with one hand and fanned himself slowly with a small fan in the other. His lazy look was about 70% similar to Fang Zhengyi.
As if sensing someone approaching, Xiao Tao turned her head and saw Fang Zhengyi with a smile on his face.
When I saw it, I was stunned.
Misty fog slowly accumulated in his eye sockets, and then he stood up and suddenly pounced towards Fang Zheng.
Fang Zheng held the soft and fragrant girl in his arms and said with a silly smile, "What's wrong? Did someone at home bully you? Oh, by the way, shouldn't you be in the county?"
Xiao Tao said in a muffled voice: "You still remembered to come back, but you didn't write a letter home. Our people came back yesterday, and someone said that you entered the palace. I brought Zhang Biao and others back to pick you up."
Fang Zhengyi gently pushed her away and said, "Okay, I'll go home and rest for two days. I'll pack up and go back."
Xiaotao wiped her tears and nodded obediently.
"A lot of things happened in the county. The King of Wu sent people to attack our county. We used gunpowder, so I'm afraid we can't hide it. But now no outsiders should know about it."
Fang Zheng touched her head lovingly and said, "I see. These are just small matters. I'll take care of them later. Where's Zhang Biao?"
"Master, I'm here!" a strong voice sounded.
Fang Zheng glanced over and saw several people already standing at the moon gate of the courtyard.
Zhang Biao, Luo Ningxin, and a woman who looked familiar
Wow, Brother Biao has become thicker. It seems he has been doing a lot of muscle training!
There was a familiar-looking woman next to Zhang Biao. She was leaning against him with a shy look on her face. Her belly was slightly bulging and she was holding a dumbbell in her hand.
He bowed and said, "Greetings, Master Fang."
Luo Ningxin walked over slowly, leaned close to Fang Zheng's ear, and said in a sweet voice: "Master, you are finally back. Did you forget that it was Sister Chun?"
