Once his grievances were vented, Meng Weimin could no longer hold back the negative emotions that had been suppressed for so long.
He cried loudly, "Your Majesty! I am wronged... Every day I have to get up before the cock crows and practice swordplay, eat slop at noon, and when I go home at night, Lord Fang finds me an ugly woman and makes me serve her every night!"
"I just took a look at the brothel on the street, and they let that ugly woman exploit me seven times that night!"
"I have to avoid people when I go to the toilet on the street... There are people everywhere around me, and I have to hold it in for a whole day! And..."
"Your Majesty, please save me... I don't want to live anymore... I want to go home!" Meng Weimin said while biting his lower lip tightly, looking extremely aggrieved.
The tears and sobs were so loud that anyone who heard it felt sad and anyone who saw it cried.
It’s nice to be admired, but it’s not worth it to go through a painful, continuous and long “struggle” just for a moment of pleasure!
Meng Weimin perfectly interprets what it means to be honored in front of others but suffer behind their backs.
Even Emperor Jing couldn't bear to criticize him anymore, and asked Fang Zhengyi, "Where are his relatives now?"
Fang Zheng said, "I have already sent someone to arrange for him to live there. His mother remarried and his wife works in the newspaper cafeteria. He is living a very happy life."
"In the early years, this kid was out eating, drinking, gambling and whoring, and he was away from home every day. Now his mother wants to kneel down and thank me."
"In fact, I am afraid that Meng Weimin might lose control one day, so I resorted to this desperate measure. The people trust and love him. If he does not behave properly, he might make a big mistake."
"If that day ever comes, with his family and the deed as evidence, I am sure I will make sure he is killed in the street as soon as possible!"
"This contract also has some proofs. I was just about to send them to Your Majesty after the drill... I didn't expect Your Majesty to come today. What a coincidence." Seeing that Emperor Jing had a bad look on his face, Fang Zheng laughed dryly.
"Can't you find a better candidate? Isn't there anyone more suitable than him among all the people in the capital?"
"It's not impossible, but I don't have the nerve to harm a good person. Besides, look at his innocent eyes and charming features. It's not easy to find such a person." Fang Zhengyi said shamelessly, "In fact, it's not impossible for me to go up myself, but I'm afraid of doing something wrong and losing face for Your Majesty."
Emperor Jing waved his hands feebly: "Stop talking. It makes me sick. Guo Banban, take Meng Weimin away. I don't want to see him."
Meng Weimin, crying and snotting, was taken away.
Only Emperor Jing, Li Yuanzhao and Fang Zheng were left in the room.
Emperor Jing was silent for a long time before he said, "Fang Qing, you really never stop doing anything."
"They are so hot-tempered that they want to cause chaos wherever they go. One Meng Weimin is not enough, there are 107 others. With their ability to incite the people, what will the court officials think?"
Fang Zheng kept speaking frankly, "Your Majesty, do you not trust me?"
Emperor Jing shook his head: "Of course I believe you, but what you did today is probably beyond everyone's imagination. To put it more seriously, you are playing with the people's hearts. The court is not my one-man show. Since the establishment of the East Factory, there has never been such a fuss as you. Do you know how much trouble there will be in the future?"
Fang Zhengyi smiled slightly: "As long as Your Majesty trusts me, there will be no problem. New things certainly make people feel apprehensive, but the benefits are also obvious. These people can lead the way in education, help the weak and the poor, this is the power of example."
"Your Majesty's concerns are extremely reasonable, but it is very simple to solve this problem. These 108 people are not permanent, and there will always be new idols. As long as the people get used to it, the emotions in the future will not be so fanatical. Moreover, it is very simple to destroy a person."
"They act like perfect gentlemen outside, but if there is just one flaw, the fantasy will be shattered and no one will follow them."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The files, whereabouts, and activities of these 108 people are all on record. As long as Your Majesty gives an order and cooperates with the newspapers of the six ministries, it will be easy to destroy their influence."
Emperor Jing thought for a moment and sighed, "I am old, and I really don't understand what you young people are doing. But you have to be fully prepared. Come up with a set of rules. You must strictly control the follow-up and don't disturb the people."
"I obey your order! The Jinyiwei will make the people live a good life as the starting point and end point of all their work. We will focus on practical work and seek practical results to create the best living environment for the people!"
Emperor Jing: "......"
Seeing that Emperor Jing had no objection, Fang Zheng said happily: "Then your majesty, today's East Factory exercise..."
"You win. Okay, I was frightened all night, I'm glad you're fine." Emperor Jing pointed to the corner and said angrily, "Evil creature! Why are you hiding? Come back to the palace with me, and that Lian Yong, neither of you can escape."
Li Yuanzhao looked at Fang Zhengyi urgently for help.
Fang Zheng hurriedly stepped out to help, "Your Majesty, have you eaten?"
"Now that you mention it, I'm really a little hungry. Let's go back to the palace and talk about it." Emperor Jing raised his leg to leave.
Fang Zhengyi said again, "Your Majesty is here. I have made some barbecue. Would you like to have some?"
"Yes, father, I'm hungry too. Let's eat something!" Li Yuanzhao quickly added.
Have a meal with him, and when he calms down, the beating he gets when he returns will be much lighter.
Emperor Jing glared at Li Yuanzhao, and seeing Fang Zhengyi's "expectant" eyes, he couldn't help but say, "Well, since you are here, then you can come with me."
"All right, Your Majesty, please go to the courtyard."
......
The charcoal fire in the courtyard has not yet gone out.
After adding some more charcoal, Fang Zhengyi started grilling the skewers himself.
The mutton we buy is all top quality and does not require too much seasoning, just a handful of fine salt.
