The treasury is saved! Emperor Jing was a little excited.
But he remained calm and said, "Mr. Fang, this is a matter of state, how can we let you handle it alone?"
Fang Zhengyi said sincerely: "Since I am a subject, state affairs are my family affairs!"
"Every day, I think about sharing your worries. If I don't share your worries for a day, I will feel uncomfortable all over!"
"If your majesty won't let me do it, I won't be able to go home with shame!"
Here he comes again. He’s here again after just being quiet for a few days!
The ministers covered their faces, unable to bear to look.
Emperor Jing couldn't help blushing and coughed twice in embarrassment: "Cough! Don't talk nonsense!"
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you."
"If you can't do it, report it in time."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fang Zheng stepped back with a smile.
You have done a great job in breaking the tea leaves, and you will definitely make money this time!
As soon as Fang Zhengyi retreated, Li Yansong stood up.
He said calmly, "Your Majesty, since Lord Fang is so enthusiastic, why not...let him take over the position of the Minister of the Honglu Temple for the time being."
"I second this motion!!!"
As soon as Li Yansong finished speaking, a large group of people expressed their agreement and were overjoyed.
Mr. Li said it well, only family members can understand each other!
This bastard has been harming his own people all day long, and now the Northern Rong delegation has arrived.
Let him go and cause trouble for the Beirong envoys! He won’t be disgusting here!
Fang Zheng was as gloomy as water, standing there in a daze.
What do these bastards mean! If there is no work, find some for me?
Who wants to receive foreign guests? I am lying down nicely in Mid-Levels Square.
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, and he couldn't help but glare at Li Yansong.
As a result, the old man looked at him with a smile.
Young man, I have been in this world all my life and still can’t defeat you?
Get away from me!
Emperor Jing looked at the reactions of his ministers with interest.
The image of Fang Zhengyi hanging out with the Beirong envoys came to mind.
The sight of a group of people eating, drinking, gambling and having sex together made me shudder.
Then he looked at Chen Hong, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
"Chen Hong, what do you think?"
Chen Hong's mouth was full of bitterness.
I don't want to agree to this! I was assigned such an assistant officer for no apparent reason.
There is already a Honglu Temple Secretary, so there is no reason to add someone else temporarily, especially Fang Zhengyi.
Thinking of Fang Zhengyi's aggressive look, I wonder how much trouble he can cause if he gets involved with the Beirong delegation.
And I don’t know what’s wrong with the Banshan Daily. They are throwing dirty water on the Beirong people in the capital every day. What if people get to know about it... Chao!
But now all the ministers and the emperor are staring at me, what can I do?
Chen Hong bowed and said with a stiff upper lip: "I am naturally glad that Lord Fang can come."
"What do you think, Fang Zhengyi?"
Fang Zheng's eyes flickered around.
"This... I have no experience, and I am afraid I will not be able to take on this task."
Li Yansong followed closely and said, "If you don't have experience, you can learn! When receiving envoys, you need to learn etiquette and know the rules. Although Lord Fang is in the Zhanshi Mansion, he should also know them. Now is a good opportunity."
"That's right! Lord Fang is very talented, it's a good opportunity for the foreigners to see it."
"I think that since Lord Fang is the Chancellor, he should understand the affairs of the Northern Rong. Lord Li is mature and prudent, and what he said makes sense!"
"I second the motion."
Inside the main hall, a large group of people were trying to force the troublemaker to leave.
Fang Zhengyi lowered his head and thought.
It seems that I have no choice but to go.
It would be good to go once, what if the Beirong people really want to marry a princess?
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle!
Then agree to it!
Having figured things out, Fang Zheng raised his head and said loudly, "Since my uncle thinks I can do it and Your Majesty agrees, I am willing to give it a try!"
"I'm not your uncle! Are you done yet?" Li Yansong glared at him immediately.
Zhang Dongxiang and Zheng Qiao couldn't help but move two steps forward.
"I didn't say you were! There are so many people in the palace, why are you the only one who replied to me, Lord Li? Do you want to be my uncle?"
Fang Zheng looked like a scoundrel.
"Me!...Me!...You dare!" Li Yansong widened his eyes, pointed at Fang Zhengyi, and trembled continuously.
"Mr. Li fainted again because of anger!"
"Call the doctor quickly!!"
There was a sudden chaos below. Emperor Jing frowned and said angrily:
"Enough! That's nonsense! Find someone to carry Master Li down!"
"I don't act like a subject!"
"Fang Zhengyi, don't bring your family affairs to the court in the future!"
"Your Majesty! I admit my guilt!"
After all this trouble, Fang Zheng felt much better.
Just stand still.
Seeing that order was restored, Emperor Jing said, "Then it is settled. Fang Zhengyi will temporarily serve as the Secretary of the Honglu Temple."
"Be serious and don't neglect the delegation."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"The Northern Rong delegation will meet in the palace in two days, and the dinner will be held in the Yangxin Palace. Chen Hong, remember to prepare well."
"Nothing to do, leave the court!"
.......
After the court meeting, Fang Zhengyi immediately approached Chen Hong, making him nervous.
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Hello, Master Chen. I will be your assistant from now on."
Chen Hong waved his hands quickly: "Don't dare! Don't dare!"
"I'll take care of anything you need, Master Fang can do whatever he wants!"
Fang Zhengyi looked puzzled: "Master Chen, you are afraid of me. I haven't offended you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Hong immediately became angry and said, "You published an advertisement saying that my family has 6,000 dan of grain!"
Fang Zheng was not ashamed at all and laughed out loud: "Just a joke! It was all a joke! Who knew that the unruly people actually took it seriously! How despicable!"
Is this a joke? Chen Hong gnashed his teeth in hatred.
"In the future! I will have the opportunity to help the Honglu Temple publish a newspaper. Our Honglu Temple doesn't have a newspaper yet!"
"I'm telling your Majesty! How can the Honglu Temple not have its own newspaper? It's really not right!"
Chen Hong immediately became serious: "Are you serious?"
Having a newspaper is equivalent to expanding power outward. Almost all institutions under the jurisdiction of the six ministries want to publish newspapers independently.
Chen Hong also requested a petition, but it was quickly rejected.
The reason is that the Honglu Temple has been included in the newspapers of the Ministry of Rites.
However, the newspaper space is limited, and it is a pity that the Honglu Temple does not have an independent newspaper.
If I can accomplish this during my term of office, my name will go down in history!
"Seriously! Absolutely seriously! Tell me, what should I do next?"
I agree, but I can't guarantee whether it will become my Fang Zhengyi...
Seeing Fang Zhengyi's sincere attitude, Chen Hong softened his tone and said, "Thank you very much, Lord Fang. Actually, there is nothing special about receiving Beirong."
"Just teach them some simple etiquette in the palace and find some interpreters to accompany them."
"Sometimes the envoy needs to be accompanied when he wants to tour the city."
"But the Beirong issue is of great importance, and many matters should be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue for discussion."
"As for you, Lord Fang... you can go home and sleep if you want! We still have enough manpower!"
So good? So I get paid vacation?
"Okay! Thank you very much, Master Chen!"
