Chapter 285: Defendant

In the spring of the thirteenth year of the establishment of the Cha Dynasty. The crown prince led 80,000 private troops, and secretly colluded with 50,000 border troops under Chai Mengshan in Youzhou, a total of 130,000 troops to rebel, but the plan of action was leaked in advance, the emperor and Fang Zheng secretly mobilized the army, and it took only two days and one night to quickly suppress this huge rebellion. The 50,000 border troops of Chai Mengshan, after forcibly breaking through the siege at night and paying the price of more than 20,000 soldiers' lives, finally went north, left the Hua Dynasty, and stepped into the boundless grassland.

However, there is not a word in the history books about this rebellion, and the death of the prince is only vaguely mentioned with the phrase "died of violent illness", and nothing else is said. Although the ministers of the DPRK and China are well known, they are also interested in not mentioning it.

As for the common people, the reaction was not very large. After all, the main battlefield of this rebellion is outside the city. The city gate was closed for two whole days, and the corpses of the rebels piled up outside the north city wall were quickly cleaned up and buried, and the blood stains were washed clean, everything was as usual, as if nothing had happened.

Immediately afterwards, the operation to arrest the remnants of the prince in the court began immediately. The shadow under Fang Zheng's jurisdiction took the lead, with the assistance of the city defense army and the soldiers of the forbidden army. According to the map, the remnants of the loyal crown prince were uprooted in one day. Those officials who were attached to the prince didn't even have a chance to get to the ground, and they were arrested as soon as they followed the emperor into the city. He was imprisoned with his whole family.

At this point, the prince's rebellion finally ended in failure, and the court officials were as large as Shangshu Shilang and as small as the local magistrates, all who were once attached to the prince. All of them were arrested, demoted, or exiled in the shortest possible time.

The emperor returned to the palace, and his first order was to hold a court meeting in the Jinjian Palace.

At the court meeting, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials. The emperor first announced a major event, when the crown prince of the dynasty was suffering from a violent illness, died again, and the country could not be without a prince, therefore, the emperor announced that the fourth son of the emperor, Fuwang Zhou, was the new prince of the Chinese Dynasty, and from now on. The crown prince is in charge of the country, and the ministers should assist them wholeheartedly.

There is no suspense in this will, and the ministers were vaguely mentally prepared before the prince's rebellion, and it was the holy decree of the new prince to be canonized, and the ministers were very conscious of the prince's gift. The big salute paid homage to the fat man.

On the Jinjian Palace, the fat man was wearing a brand-new dark yellow four-clawed dragon robe, his fat face was trembling with excitement, and a pair of small slitted eyes flashed with tears, and he smiled and calmly accepted the worship of the ministers.

Fang Zheng was still hiding in the most inconspicuous corner of the Jinjian Palace, leaning on the side of the huge dragon pillar, standing without standing up. Squinted at the fat man who sat on the side of the emperor's head. I quietly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.

Well, the historical mission is completed, the fat man became the prince as he wished, and it won't be long before he becomes the king of a country.

Probably can, right? Fang Zheng was a little unsure. What should I do if the fat man doesn't let go? At that time, his identity was different, he couldn't be beaten, he couldn't be scolded, and if he made a few jokes with him, there would be officials who would impeach him for his disgrace in front of the king, alas, "I miss the time when I went to school with the fat man."

"All Aiqing listened, nearly 100,000 people were killed and injured outside the city in the past few days, which violated the peace of heaven and killed too much. Lian has ordered Qin Tianjian to build an altar for the dead soldiers to summon the souls, and to surpass the undead, in order to avoid labor and loss of money, the canonization ceremony of the new prince does not have to be handled. Post the truth to the world, send it to the local government, let the subjects of the world know about it, and leave. ”

As he spoke, the emperor looked at the fat man at the head and asked, "No disease, do you have any objections to such a decision?"

The fat man hurriedly got up and said respectfully, "Father." Erchen thinks that this is exactly what it should be, the people are the most important, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light. The cart cannot be reversed

The emperor smiled with satisfaction.

"If all Aiqing is fine, let's disperse." The emperor coughed a few times, and his body was weak, and he was not allowed to be tired from the deliberations for a long time.

Gonggong Cao shook off the dust lightly, and was about to loudly announce the dispersal of the dynasty, when a discordant voice suddenly came out.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to do!"

All the ministers followed the prestige, but they saw the head of the household department Du Songjun kneeling in the middle of the hall with an aggrieved face, with a little anger on his face.

The emperor shook his head and said with a smile: "If there is anything wrong with Du Aiqing, just play it." ”

"The old minister sued Fang Zheng, the general of the garrison in the capital, who was guarding and stealing, and did not get the holy decree, and privately led the troops to raid the prince's mansion, and the dirty silver obtained was not filled with the treasury. On the contrary, all of them were collected into the treasury of his family, which was simply lawless, please ask the emperor to investigate."

"Bang".

When the emperor heard this, his eyes suddenly darkened, his body fell back, and the back of his head hit the back of the dragon chair.

"Father! Father, are you alright? Small. The fat man was startled, and hurriedly leaned over and asked anxiously.

The ministers were shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in unison: "The emperor takes care of the dragon's body." ”

After a long time, the emperor woke up slowly, opened his eyes and looked fiercely at Fang Zheng in the corner, his mouth was as sharp as wanting to kill.

All the ministers also turned their eyes to it. Everyone has different feelings in their hearts, and some are gloating. Some shook their heads and sighed, while others were speechless. This Lord Fang is too good at causing trouble, he has made great contributions to quelling the rebellion, and the emperor has not had time to reward him, which is good, but in the blink of an eye, he has caused another big disaster. I wonder what the emperor will do with him?

Who knew that as far as everyone's eyes could see, Fang Zheng's position on weekdays was empty, and there was no half of a figure. The ministers were startled, Fang Zheng was still standing here just now, why was it gone in the blink of an eye?

When the ministers were puzzled, the emperor on the dragon chair suddenly shouted angrily in the direction of the palace gate: "Fang Zheng! You bastard! Where are you going? ”

Everyone stared at it, but saw that at the threshold of the main entrance of the Jinsai Palace, the garrison general Fang Zhengfang was facing the emperor, quietly going out on all fours, and had already climbed to the door, one leg was raised high, just like a soil dog peeing, and was about to climb over the threshold. With an angry shout from the emperor, Fang Zheng was so frightened that he froze his legs and did not move, and under the burning gaze of the ministers, he kept this. The ugly posture is motionless.

The ministers suddenly felt cold, the Jin Jian Palace played escape, and he was stunned so ugly, so untechnical, throughout the ages, this Lord Fang had the courage to do it."

Fang Zheng is very depressed now, very frustrated. Defeat and defeat! He was so annoyed that he wanted to cry

Damn it! I knew that the surnamed Du sued Lao Tzu for a bad situation, and Lao Tzu didn't go to copy the prince's mansion, this is good, the fat that entered the mouth is about to be spit out with the naked eye, and Lao Tzu also spent manpower and material resources to clean the prince's mansion."

"Fang Zheng. Lian is asking you, where are you going? The emperor's voice was gloomy and not very kind.

Fang Zheng cried and mourned, didn't even get up, knelt on the ground and turned his head on the spot, and knelt down to the emperor and said, "Go back to the emperor." Wei Chen suddenly remembered that there was still soup stewed on the stove at home. I forgot to turn off the fire when I left,"

The ministers sweated profusely, and even the fat man who became the prince was full of black lines, and his fat face twitched vigorously.

Such a clumsy excuse, but Lord Fang said it without changing his face, what a great ability this is. How did he grow his skin?

The emperor snorted angrily, his sick body seemed to be much more energetic, and said coldly: "Fang Zheng, what Fang Cai Du Shangshu said, is it true?" ”

Fang Zheng was frightened, and his five bodies fell to the ground on the gold brick floor of the Jinjian Palace. Da mourned: "Your Majesty! Weichen, wronged! ”

Not again! The ministers, including the fat man, rolled their eyes in unison.

"Your Majesty. Weichen did lead the troops into the prince's mansion, but he didn't raid the house, but went to collect incriminating evidence

Jun Songjun glared at Fang Zheng and said, "Then you moved all the belongings of the Prince's Mansion into your Fang family's treasury, what do you say?" Are those gold, silver, and jewelry incriminating evidence? ”

"Of course not!" Fang Zheng rolled his eyes, and said with great righteousness: In the past few days, there has been chaos inside and outside the city, and I am worried that the prince's mansion will be robbed, so I will move valuable things to my house and help keep them. What's wrong? Isn't it possible? ”

Fang Zheng suddenly felt that this excuse was used correctly, and his eyes couldn't help but light up. More and more reasonable.

"As the garrison of the capital, it is the duty of this general to prevent fire and theft. The Prince's Mansion is such an important place, if someone takes advantage of the chaos to rob it, then what else can I fish" No, then I will be derelict in my duty! So I took precautions and moved the things of the Prince's Mansion to my house in advance, which is exactly the performance of General Ben's due diligence,"

"So to speak. I have to thank you, huh? "The emperor is neither yin nor yang.

Fang Zheng smiled flatteringly: "No, no, the emperor doesn't need to be polite, Weichen hasn't done enough...,

The emperor angrily patted the armrest of the dragon chair: "Then why don't you move the things in the palace to your house?" ”

Fang Zheng's frightened neck shrank, lowered his head and muttered softly: "I thought that the forbidden army wouldn't open the door for me,"

The emperor held his forehead weakly, and sighed weakly: "Scattered dynasty, Fang Zheng, see you in the palace in the afternoon." ””

In the sound of all the ministers drinking long live, Fang Zheng touched his sexy little ** with a sad face, and secretly wondered if he should stuff two soft balls of cotton in his pants, so as not to have some protection when he was punished by the emperor later.

But "the ** stuffed with cotton, will it affect the beauty of this handsome guy when he walks?"

Lord Fang was very hesitant"

The ministers dispersed. They left the palace in twos and threes, talking all the way.

The atmosphere of today's court meeting is a bit weird, the emperor didn't mention the prince's rebellion, but even the canonization of the new prince was carried out so low-key, and the emperor didn't say anything about the reward for Fang Zheng, Feng Qiudao, Han Dashi and Dong Cheng, who had contributed to the suppression of the rebellion, as if this had never happened. This made the ministers a little confused, it is said that the emperor is not such a mean and ungrateful person, and he is really unpredictable if he has merit but not reward.

In the afternoon, Fang Zheng came to the emperor's dormitory, and from afar, he found that the fat man was walking in circles outside the dormitory alone.

The fat man in the dark yellow dragon robe, Fang Zheng looked a little unaccustomed, like a pig rolling in the mud and walking upright, and his round appearance made people can't help but feel gimmicked.

This guy seems to have gained weight again recently, Fang Zheng frowned and muttered.

Walking forward quickly, Fang Zheng faked the hem of his official robe, and sang in his mouth: "Weichen"

The fat man couldn't help but shudder when he heard the words, and made a smile that was more ugly than crying, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Fang Zheng, "Brother Fang, you better save it, why do I always feel uncomfortable when I see you saluting?"

Fang Zheng looked at him and smiled, stopped bowing down, and said with a smile: "It's right if you're uncomfortable, I estimate that you must be ashamed of yourself in front of the handsome guy, congratulations, you have become the prince as you wish." ”

The fat man couldn't help but smile: "I can be this prince, you can contribute the most, Brother Fang" Forget it, I won't say thank you, it's boring, I will keep this love in my heart,"

Fang Zheng was anxious: "Don't mind, what's the matter with just remembering it in your heart?" You have to show it

The fat man was stunned: "You" you are really embarrassed "Okay." How do you play me? First of all, I don't have any money. I'm much poorer than you, and I won't have any money to give you if I kill me."

Fang Zheng's eyes were straight, why is this guy's face the same as mine? Isn't this a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, how innocent and fat he used to be, and he has fallen."

Fang Zheng smiled shyly: "You don't need to pay for it, you just need to help tell your father and the emperor to completely expose my copy of the prince's mansion, and as if it didn't happen, you will repay me." ”

The fat man's face collapsed when he heard this, and his fat face trembled again: "You really copied the prince's mansion?" ”

"I'm collecting evidence, uh-huh."

Slack. You are still pretending in front of me, I am waiting for you outside for this matter, hey, Brother Fang, you have to be careful when you go in later, my father seems to be very angry, and you also know that he is not in good health, try to be gentle when you answer, don't irritate his old man. ”

The fat man is really afraid of Fang Zheng's nonsense that comes out coldly, sometimes it really makes people angry.

Fang Zheng hesitated: "Or, "Shall I go home first?" I'll wait until your father's anger is gone

"Okay." The fat man readily agreed: "Go home and wait for the holy decree, my father will definitely cut you off." ”

Fang Zheng sighed, resigned himself to the dormitory, and suddenly replied! "Hey. Fatty, if you are small, you should look like a little bit, and you will call yourself "lonely" in the future

The fat man pouted: "Aunt? I'm still uncle! Hey, okay, okay, you go in quickly, I'll pay attention to the drop in the future

In the dormitory, the emperor's face was calm, and he was lying on the sickbed drinking medicine.

Seeing Fang Zheng come in, the emperor's eyes glanced at him slantedly, and then he snorted heavily and slammed the medicine bowl on the tray. The palace goddess held the tray in a panic and retreated.

"Long live the emperor when I knock on the minister"

"Less nonsense! Fang Zheng. You're getting bolder. The emperor said coldly: "Without following the holy decree, who allowed you to raid the prince's mansion privately?" Don't you know that it is a great sin to cut off your head? ”

"Weichen, panic!"

"You're scared!" The emperor couldn't help but scolded: "How can you look half frightened like this?" ”

The emperor's chest couldn't stop rising and falling, and his emotions that had gradually calmed down, since Fang Zheng came in, his whole person seemed to start again. Fang Zheng always has this kind of magical ability, which can always provoke him to thunder.

Closing his eyes, the emperor tried to resist the idea of dragging Fang Zheng out and beating him severely, and said seemingly plainly: "Lian also heard that after you beat King Shou at the city gate, you locked him up in the sky again?" ”

Fang Zheng slapped his forehead: "Ah! I almost forgot about it! It seems like I was the only one who did it

The emperor held his forehead. I couldn't help but sigh heavily.

What kind of sin is this? Let this guy guard the capital for two days, he copied the prince's mansion, not to mention, but also beat another son and threw him into the prison, if he was allowed to guard the city for a few more days, he would not be allowed to set fire to the entire capital.

"Your Majesty, I didn't do anything wrong to put King Shou in prison." Fang Zheng hurriedly distinguished: "That night, King Shou took dozens of guards and wanted to force himself out of the city, but he didn't know what to do in the middle of the night, Weichen felt very suspicious, so he stopped them and locked them all up. Fortunately, there were micro-ministers who turned the tide, and a military disaster was avoided. ”

"Is there such a thing?" The emperor frowned: "How do you know?" ”

"Wei Chen's interrogation of King Shou's confidant Sun Ge overnight was personally confessed by Sun Gui."

The emperor sighed, his face was desolate: "These princes" alas! Fang Zheng, move all the relevant people to the prison, strictly guard them, and try the case in person, if what you said is true, you have really made a great contribution to the court

Fang Zheng was overjoyed. To open his mouth to be modest, who knew that the emperor continued: ", so you privately copy the matter of the prince's mansion, and the joint will not be investigated, it can be regarded as a merit and demerit, no reward or punishment, but you must hand over all the dirty silver obtained by the commission to the treasury."

Fang Zheng's face fell, and he said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, the silver is not dirty, if you are dirty, it is better to give it to me." The old rules are still the same, you nine and I one? ”

The emperor trembled with anger. pointed at Fang Zheng, wanted to scold something, then took a few deep breaths, turned his head, didn't look at him, waved his hand like a fly: "You go, go quickly, Lian can't wait to cut you with a knife when he sees you."

"The emperor" actually has many advantages of Weichen

"Shut up! Get out! Lian heard your voice and wanted to slash you."

"Wechen cleaned up after copying the prince's mansion, how much to give?"

"Whoosh!" An unidentified object flew over Fang Zheng's head.

Fang Zheng hugged his head and ran away.

was driven out again by the ashes, Fang Zheng was very angry in his heart, buying and selling could not be benevolent and righteous, and he would send a secret weapon if he didn't agree with him, which was too unethical in business. People all over the world do business like the emperor, so the world will not be in chaos, and the general will have to be vigorous and vigorous.

The fat man waited for Fang Zheng at the foot of the jade steps, and saw him come out with a frown. The fat man's eyes lit up, he smiled with a playful smile, and he hated it no matter how he looked at it.

"How? Did your father punish you severely? The fat man's tone was a little schadenfreude, and his eyes flashed with gossip.

"Your smile is very bastard," Fang Zheng glared at him: "How can your father be willing to punish me?" I just had a great conversation with him in the old man's house. ”

Juice day, have a good conversation? The fat man was dumbfounded.

That's right, later, your father was happy, and he wanted to learn martial arts with me.

"Cut, learn martial arts?" The fat man's eyes gradually straightened, and there was a sign of petrification.

Fang Zheng nodded affirmatively: "Yes, your father bets that I can't hide from his secret weapon,"

"Dark" hidden weapon? The fat man muttered repeatedly.

"Hey, fatty, you've had a parrot lately?" Fang Zheng was very dissatisfied with the fat man's meaningless repetition.

"And then?" The fat man's brain clearly shows signs of starting to short-circuit.

Fang Zheng looked like a peerless master, and smiled reservedly: "Later, I dodged."

The fat man looked at him adoringly: "So? ”

"Therefore, I investigated the matter of the Prince's Mansion, and your father will not pursue it." Fang Zheng was as proud as a little fox who had just stolen a chicken.

Really? The fat man regained his IQ and looked at Fang Zheng suspiciously.

"Really, really gold."

The fat man looked at Fang Zheng hesitantly for a long time, and finally made a decision: "I'll still ask my father to go." ”

I didn't say hello after saying hello. The round body rolled towards the dormitory.

This IQ is like an emperor. The lives of ordinary people are a little suspenseful."

Fang Zheng frowned secretly.

It didn't take long for the emperor to roar violently from the palace: "Get out!" ”

Then I heard the sound of a piece of porcelain breaking, and finally the fat man ran out of the dormitory.

"Brother Fang, you lied to me again!"
