All the ministers pondered over it and couldn't help but start to complete the poem.
Afterwards, I actually felt that what I wrote was very good!
If I add the last two sentences, then this work is mine, right? Makes sense!
Even Emperor Jing was like this.
No one feels like they are adding insult to injury...after all, that's human nature...
Fang Zhengyi looked at the ministers and shook his head slightly, then nodded with satisfaction.
Feeling proud, he saw Li Yuanzhao giving him a thumbs-up with a sly smile on his face, and Fang Zheng responded with a big smile.
It feels like they are in cahoots with each other.
The ministers were almost done with shaking their heads and when they came back to their senses and looked at Fang Zhengyi, their eyes had changed.
I didn't expect this guy to have some talent.....It's not all nonsense...
Emperor Jing looked very happy and seemed very satisfied with his "work".
"What Fang Qing said makes sense. This incompleteness does have its own beauty, but... I still hope to see you create a complete masterpiece in the future!"
Fang Zheng searched his mind urgently, and the first thing that popped up was goose, goose, goose... and then nothing else.
I could only smile awkwardly: "I will try my best...I will try my best..."
Then Emperor Jing tapped the imperial desk twice and said, "Okay, my dear ministers, let's stop chatting here. If you have something to say, please report it!"
As soon as Emperor Jing finished speaking, Zhang Shi, who had been silent in the crowd, stood up first.
He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have a memorial to impeach Fang Zhengyi for openly gathering a crowd to beat up the people, which is an insult to the dignity of the court!"
"Fang Zheng is a junior secretary, but he is so mean. This will definitely affect the Crown Prince. Your Majesty, please punish him severely!"
No one present was surprised, because in addition to the popularity of the song "Yu Lin Ling", another thing was that Fang Zheng beat up Zhang Shi's son.
But no one expected that Zhang Shi would choose this moment to stand up and impeach Fang Zhengyi, and he did it personally. Now His Majesty is obviously very nice to Fang Zhengyi... It's really unwise!
It took Zhang Shi more than a day to get the news. He was immediately furious and rushed into the house and beat Zhang Chang again.
Being bullied is not scary! But Zhang Shi couldn't accept that his son was bullied and didn't even dare to speak!
After Zhang Chang was beaten again, he stammered and admitted that he had been beaten.
Zhang Shi felt pain in his heart when he was hit. It was beyond his imagination that his son was so cowardly...
So even if the timing was not right to impeach Fang Zheng, he had to stand up!
Emperor Jing knew the answer but still asked, "Fang Zhengyi beat someone? Who was this person? When and where? Do you have any evidence?"
"Your Majesty, I am truly ashamed. The person Fang Zhengyi beat up was... my son Zhang Chang. It happened just two days ago on a pleasure boat on Quzuo Lake."
"My son was attending a poetry gathering at the time, and all the scholars there can testify to this!"
After saying this, Zhang Shi looked at Fang Zhengyi hatefully.
Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent look on his face.
Emperor Jing turned to Fang Zhengyi and said, "Fang Zhengyi! Is this true?"
Fang Zheng stepped forward and said, "I did attend a poetry gathering two days ago, but I did not beat Lord Zhang's son. We just had some arguments."
"Master Zhang...you are trying to frame me!"
Zhang Shi was furious when he heard this and said, "I framed you!? Do you deserve it!?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Zheng turned around and complained: "Your Majesty! I want to impeach the Minister of Revenue Zhang Shi for openly insulting an official appointed by the court!"
"Fang Zhengyi! You are shameless!" Zhang Shi didn't expect Fang Zhengyi to play by the rules at all and didn't follow any regulations. He immediately became even more angry.
"Hey! Everyone heard it! He called me shameless, and the evidence is here! Zhang Shi! Do you have anything else to say?"
Seeing his behavior, the crowd couldn't help but laugh.
Young people have no martial ethics!
Emperor Jing immediately scolded, "Fang Zhengyi! Stop making trouble!"
"Zhang Shi! I ask you, do you have any witnesses?"
Zhang Shi had obviously made sufficient preparations before coming: "Your Majesty! My son and the witness are both here, outside the palace, ready to be summoned at any time by Your Majesty!"
"Okay! Bring it up!"
The officials were surprised again. Zhang Shi, the Minister of Finance, was so angry... How could a court meeting turn into a trial? This was beyond the rules... And it was just a fight.
His Majesty actually acquiesced... Looks like there's something interesting to watch today!
Soon Zhang Chang and a man who looked like a scholar were brought to the court together.
The two men bowed tremblingly, obviously it was the first time they had seen such a scene.
Emperor Jing didn't know Zhang Chang, so he asked the two men directly, "Witnesses! Who are you? Did Fang Zhengyi fight with anyone the day before yesterday?"
The scholar said in a trembling voice: "I was invited to attend the poetry meeting... Just the day before yesterday, I saw with my own eyes that Lord Fang beat Master Zhang. There were three of them at the time, and Master Zhang was pinned under the table... The three of them were jumping on the table..."
"Fang Zhengyi, is this true?"
Fang Zhengyi replied calmly, "Your Majesty, these are all lies. I did not have any physical conflict with Master Zhang that day. I guess this gentleman must have imagined it because he was drunk."
"If it's three against one, why bother pressing him under the table? Moreover, this method of fighting is too childish. I don't even bother to use it!"
"That night, Master Zhang sat not far from me. I clearly saw him playing Jenga with someone. After we drank too much, we had a quarrel. That was all!"
Emperor Jing was puzzled and asked, "What is the meaning of stacking music?"
