Xinzhang County Yamen.
Everyone gathered around Guo Tianyang, all with worried looks on their faces.
After he came back and explained the situation, this group of people just kept surrounding him and asking him endless questions.
Guo Tianyang felt overwhelmed and patiently explained again: "Everyone, His Majesty is really fine!"
"I just met a local on the way, and we got along well. He invited Your Majesty to visit his home and asked Your Majesty to stay overnight."
"Your Majesty is also happy, so let me go back first. There is only one person in the civilian's home, so you don't need to worry about his safety."
"What's more, Captain Fang and Zhang Biao are also following Your Majesty."
Li Yansong said worriedly, "But... Your Majesty, this is a little inappropriate. Where is His Majesty Eunuch Guo? How about I go and persuade His Majesty first? Otherwise, it's not a good idea for everyone to be so nervous."
Guo Tianyang said: "Hey, Lord Li is fine! Your Majesty has fought wars all his life, can't he enjoy himself?"
"We have carefully checked around the household and there is absolutely no problem. As for the many matters in Xinzhang County, His Majesty asked me to check on his behalf. You all just need to do what you need to do. Okay, we are all in the government office now, so let's take out all the documents and records."
Sun Sheng stepped forward and said, "You have been here for such a long time and you haven't eaten yet? I have already ordered people to prepare wine and food. Please go and enjoy it with you. How about we get back to work after we have eaten?"
Seeing Sun Sheng talking, Guo Tianyang was too lazy to pay attention to him and took out an apple with branches and leaves from his sleeve.
After wiping it carefully, he took a bite and said, "No need, we're not hungry! If you're tired or hungry, go ahead. I have important things to do."
......
There were many fruits in Wang Erzhu's orchard, and he picked them with all his might.
However, Fang Zheng kept urging them, and it took several people to help pick up one cart.
It wasn't that Fang Zheng was urging him sincerely, but that Emperor Jing was urging him all the time.
He wasn't sure whether Guo Tianyang could calm the officials, so he decided to go and take a look privately.
This big fuss is for fear of encountering fraud again.
Only when he sees it with his own eyes can he feel at ease.
After finally collecting a cart of apples, Wang Erzhu was still a little dissatisfied.
He muttered: "This car won't sell for much..."
Fang Zheng said, "It's better to sell it here even if it doesn't make much money. Whatever you can sell, you can sell it. The rest can be sold in Xinzhang County when you come back. Wouldn't you make a little extra money?"
"Well, that's true."
After loading the fruits onto the cart, Fang Zheng looked at the donkey and said worriedly, "I think we need four more people on the cart. Can your donkey handle it?"
"That's definitely not possible. You can just go down and walk around when the time comes."
"Um....."
......
On the road, a donkey cart was creaking as it went.
The three men sat in the cart calmly. Wang Erzhu led the horse and touched the poor donkey with a look of heartache.
However, after more than a day's journey, he felt that his beloved donkey was almost exhausted to death.
The three gentlemen sat in the car with peace of mind. He felt distressed but didn't dare to say anything, so he just walked, leading the donkey.
He was bored walking, so he started talking to Zhang Biao who was sitting in the front row.
As the sun sets, the scenery is beautiful.
Fang Zheng looked into the distance and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, aren't you in a hurry to return from this incognito visit? I am advising you, but this decision seems a bit hasty."
"Haste?" Emperor Jing smiled slightly and shook his head, "I don't think it's hasty. What kind of problems can go wrong in Hengjiang Prefecture? What's more, the Crown Prince is the regent, so I want him to stay for a while."
"I have been diligent in government all my life, so I can't be unbridled?"
"Uh, okay...you can do whatever you want." Fang Zheng was secretly shocked.
It seems that the private visit is one aspect, and the other aspect is that he wants to start delegating power to the prince. However, it is really unexpected that the old father-in-law wants to be so unrestrained at this age!
"So where do you plan to start when you arrive in Pingwan County?"
Emperor Jing thought for a moment and said, "Let's walk around and take a look. Then we can go to the county government office. But when we get there, I want to go to a restaurant and have something delicious first. Oh, and let's invite Wang Erzhu along. I think he's quite interesting."
"You're not angry with him?"
Emperor Jing laughed at himself and said, "Why should I be angry? He is right... All the officials in the court always praise me for my wisdom. But when I met Wang Erzhu, I realized that I was really wise for nothing."
Fang Zheng frowned and said in admiration, "Your Majesty's achievements today are unprecedented. You have created such a prosperous era with your own hands, and you can still reflect on your mistakes and not change your original intention. You are truly a hero."
Emperor Jing pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
Haha, it turns out that tall hats never go out of style!
Fang Zhengyi was secretly pleased with himself, and he unconsciously reached into his chest to count how much money he had brought.
As soon as his hand touched it, his face froze.
Oh no! I forgot! I didn’t bring any money!
"What's wrong?" Emperor Jing asked when he saw that he looked strange.
"Money...we forgot to bring money when we went out."
Emperor Jing's expression froze, and he looked a little helpless.
You can't just go to the county government office, right? Then why bother to submit and make a private visit?
Fang Zhengyi looked around and said, "It's okay. Wang Erzhu has money and apples. I also gave him a ring. We can just find a place in the city to sell it."
"This...is not good." Emperor Jing felt a little embarrassed.
Riding in someone else's car and spending their money? How is this different from robbery?
Fang Zheng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I will never let him down."
After walking a few more miles, the donkey cart suddenly jolted and stopped on the road.
