Chapter 187: Trade-offs
Chapter 187 Weighing [VIP]
Book.
The emperor glared at Fang Zheng with residual anger. Fang Zheng lowered his eyebrows and smiled with his eyes. His face was about to stiffen with a smile.
"Humph! Why are you so useless? Your family is as rich as the rest of the country. Why are your eyes only on silver? The emperor said angrily. Emperor. That's a nonsense. The richest country is far from enough. That's an exaggeration. Besides. It was Wechen's father's silver. Wei Chen didn't want to hit his parents with his thoughts......" Fang Zheng hurriedly defended.
"So you made up your mind to hit these criminals? I'm sorry for you! None of the sins have yet to be determined. I made up the idea of going to raid my house. - Were you very poor in your last life? β
That's to the point. Fang Zheng looked up suddenly. The two looked at the emperor shiningly. Wailing, "...... Emperor. You know it all? I'll tell you the truth. Weichen died of poverty in his last life. Woohoo......"
If you have money. A lot of girls hugged them. Why go out on the streets and buy those bad infantry films? If there is money. There can be a car to sit on. Why should I walk by myself? As a result, I was unlucky and fell headlong into the sewer......
Ultimately. Own crossing. They all have no money!
The emperor snorted. "I'm lazy to talk nonsense with you! Tried the case of Pan Anti and the formation of a party. I'll leave it to you. This time, there will be no trial by the three legal divisions. It is not necessary to report through the Criminal Department. It is up to you to lead the shadow to the direct trial. Long Wujun assisted from the side. Report directly to me. No one intervenes! From today. I have given the shadow the right to supervise the officials. Do you understand the right to arrest and the right to interrogate? β
Rebellion. The emperor's suspicion is getting worse and worse. He couldn't believe the ministers around him anymore. Only when Fang Zheng and Feng Qiu and others rescued the heroes dared to rest assured. And the shadow agency. It has completely become a spy dictatorship like the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei.
Fang Zheng nodded again and again: "Weichen obeys the order...... Emperor. That family ...... thing."
The emperor didn't say anything, and continued: "...... Director of the Ministry of Officials without Illness. I had a plan, but this kid kept playing around. Rather cowardly by nature. You're a classmate. I have to help him more on weekdays. Tell him. Just do it with confidence. It doesn't matter if it's wrong. "Yes. Wechen understood. β¦β¦ The emperor's seizure of the house ......"
The emperor still ignored him. continued: "This court cleansing. Half of the officials of the DPRK and China fell. I'm so sad! Nowadays, there are many vacancies in the ministry. In addition to letting the alternate officials temporarily top. I decided to open Enco in three months. For the country. I intend to leave this matter to the crown prince and the two of them. Let's see how capable the two of them are, and you'll be there to help. β
"Wechen obeys the order...... Emperor. The matter of raiding the house......" Fang Zheng still said unrelentingly and tentatively.
"Raid the house! You know how to raid your home! I can't figure out how you can be so greedy for money! The emperor was finally furious. Pointing at Fang Zheng's nose and scolding angrily.
"Your Majesty. Wechen is wronged! Something that was copied from the house. Wechen will definitely hand over a lot of money to the treasury, Wechen is contributing to the increasingly empty treasury of our Chinese Dynasty......" Fang Zheng blinked innocently. Innocent and innocent.
"Humph! Would you be that good? I'm afraid that after the copy, the treasury will be only two or three out of ten at most. The rest is in your own pocket, right? The emperor squinted at him and sneered.! The emperor is really a god! That's what I really planned...... Fang Zheng's skin is as thick as a city wall, even if it is exposed. Still the same. Justice said awe-inspiringly: "The emperor has misunderstood! Wechen will never be greedy for ink. If you don't believe it. Wechen can swear a poisonous oath......"
"Then you can send one."
Fang Zheng raised his right hand. A serious way: "Ahem...... If the micro-minister ink is a penny of silver. God punished Weichen for being beaten by his wife every day. Hit it three times a day. Every first day of the new year. Fifteen plus a supper......"
"Get out! Is my son so spicy? Fang Zheng once again provoked the emperor's raging anger.
Of course. Without exception. The two of them parted unhappily again. Fang Zheng was kicked out of the imperial study by the emperor. Gray out of the palace and back home.
But Fang Zheng was full of joy now. Before being kicked out. The emperor finally relented. promised to copy Pan Shangshu's Mansion first. But the emperor did not allow Fang Zheng to be greedy for ink. For the old rule of 19 points proposed by Fang Zheng. The emperor refused without even thinking about it. If you don't be greedy, you won't be Fang Zheng. I swore just now that I only said that I would not be greedy for a penny of silver. Of course, I can't look at it at all. but a hundred and two thousand taels of silver. Not necessarily. The house was burned like that. I didn't see any compensation.
The carriage marched to the square in front of the square. Fang was surprised to find. The renovation of the front yard of the house has already begun. The charred gate plaque has been removed. Clay craftsmen are directing the labor to tear down the walls. Everyone was busy with their own work. The work is in full swing. Catch up with the beauty of the Premier League.
There was still a large group of people standing at the door. These people were dressed in court uniforms. Each of them holds a prayer note in his hand. I am eagerly looking forward to it. I saw Fang Zheng's carriage coming slowly. The eyes of the members lit up. Scramble to catch up. He shouted: "Master Fang is back!" β
"Master Fang. In the Lower Yangzhou Prefect. I'm here to see you. Congratulations to the Marquis for being promoted to the rank of ...... "Fang Hou is in the lower household. Meet Marquis Fang. This is the greeting of the lower officials......"
"Shake off. To me! Fang Houye. The Lower Officials ......"
"Ouch! Who stepped on me......"
"Are you hungry, adults? Let's try the little old man's sesame cake. A penny for a ......"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
I was stunned by the scene in front of me. Such a large group of people surround themselves. Who are the officials or not? In case there is Pan Dangyu between them, he takes advantage of the chaos to stab himself a few times. Who am I going to reason with when I die? Fang Zheng didn't dare to get off the carriage. Grab the bull by the horns. Lift the curtain. shouted at the top of his voice: "Come on! There are assassins! β
"Who? Where are the Assassins? The officials were also frightened, and the rebellion in the city was decided. There are also many remnants of the Pan Party who have slipped through the net. If you are stabbed a few times by these outlaws. Who will reason with me when I die? - The world is as black as a crow. This group of officials wanted to go with Fang Zheng.
At this time, the officials were not polite to Fang Zheng. They were frightened and rushed towards Fang Zheng's carriage, and some of them were slower. is also quite clever to drill under the carriage for a while, the scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping. Miasma. Fang Zheng struggled in the crowd in a fit of rage. Sink. Then it was flooded. Only one hand remains. Lonely and powerless stretched out in the crowd. He gestured his middle finger with all his might. Finally drooped softly......
When the subordinates of the shadow and the subordinates of the Fang Mansion heard the news, they rushed over. After separating everyone, they found that Young Master Fang was at the bottom of the carriage. Pale complexion. On oneβs last legs. Straight and throbbing......
Fang Zheng sat in the side hall with a gloomy face. In front of him stood or sat dozens of court officials with sneering faces.
He pointed to the large and small gift boxes piled up in the corner of the hall. Fang Zheng said in a deep voice: "You are here to give gifts? β
The officials nodded busily. And send an extremely flattering smile.
"Put!" Fang Zheng slapped the table fiercely: "Are you giving a gift?" It's clearly for me to see me off! The officials were horrified. Serial crimes. I felt scared. If the shadow subordinates come a little later......
Fang Zheng twitched his nose and came sadly: "Lao Tzu is a hero." For the country and the emperor, he was born and died several times. The enemy didn't take my life. I didn't expect to be almost crushed to death by your group of corrupt officials...... What a! β
The officials hurried to comfort them. They all said that they were unintentional, and they didn't know which bastard shouted that there was an assassin. This person should really be arrested** parade on the street for three months to dispel the anger of the marquis......
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Until everyone presented the gift list they brought to Fang Zheng. Fang Houye's face only improved slightly.
An official walked up to Fang Zheng and nodded, and said with a smile: "Now Marquis Fang has the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials. Other words. You're our immediate boss. In the future, please take care of the lower officials. Xiaguan presents you with a hundred top pole East Pearls this time. The Marquis of Wangfang smiled and ......"
"Master Fang. Xia Guan sent five red coral ...... in the East China Sea"
"Master Fang. Xia Guan sent twenty pairs of 500-year-old ginseng ......"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
"Wha. Polite. That's so kind. Not for example. This time I took it. All accepted ......" Fang Zheng's face was full of joy. The faces of corrupt officials are on full display. Fang Cai's little unhappiness has long been thrown out of the clouds. So many valuable gifts. Even if Young Master Ben is crushed half to death by them, it's worth it......
"Wait! Fang Houye. The gift of the lower official is the best. Xia Guan heard that Marquis Fang has always been as honest as water. It's hard to get by......"
Including Fang Zheng. Everyone looked at the official who spoke in amazement. This sycophant ...... It's too shameless, isn't it? Incorruptness. It's still hard to get by......
Fang Zheng has always been as thick as the face of the city wall. Hearing this, it was difficult to turn red. Fleeting. My heart was secretly alert. This man's sycophancy is still above me. My little beware......
The official who spoke continued: "... The lower officials heard about it. Fang Hou Ye is in residence. There is only one wife. There is not even a maid to call. The lower officials were moved by the noble sentiment of Fang Hou Ye who was willing to be poor. At the same time, I was also distressed for Hou Ye. So the lower official sent four beautiful girls to Hou Ye. The bed is made next to you. Red Fragrance ......"
Saying that, he also squeezed Fang Zheng's eyes ambiguously. Show a ** smile that all men know. Laughing: "They haven't been done yet......
Fang Zheng was overjoyed. I'm waiting to open my mouth to take it. saw the gift-giving official scream. Then the man flew five feet away. Lying on the top of the mouth foaming at the mouth. Straight and throbbing......
Fang Zheng drilled under the table in fright. Holding his head in his hands, he shouted, "Assassin! There are assassins! This time it's real......"
"There's a fart assassin! You come out for the old lady! Changping took Fang Zheng out from under the table with a majestic hand.
Fang Zheng fixed his mind and looked at it. I saw that there were flat female guards standing all around. A group of officials looked at Changping dumbfounded.
And the official who was twitching all over. β¦β¦ He's still pumping.
Pointing to the officer lying on it. Fang Zheng stammered, "This ...... He...... Did you do this? β
Changping phoenix's eyes were worried. Glancing viciously at the officials. said angrily: "Just give me my husband, and dare to give my husband a woman." Don't want to die? β
Fang Zheng immediately wilted when he heard this. These wives have not dealt with each other for three days. This requires four more beautiful maids. It is estimated that it will not be a few days. Outside the city, fishermen in the Qinhuai River would salvage four beautiful nameless corpses, and she immersed them in pig cages......
"You...... How can you do the same to the court officials! A well-connected official who seemed to be lying down angrily rebuked.
Fang Zheng raised his head in surprise. Ho! Dare to be a princess, this kid has a kind!
In fact, Fang Zheng misunderstood. Fang Zheng married the princess. Officials all over the capital know about it. But the low-level officials who came to Beijing from outside must have known. After they entered Beijing, they rushed to Fangfu to give gifts. I haven't had time to inquire yet
Where is the wife sacred? Otherwise, if you borrow their courage, you won't be a princess
Changping raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Murderous. sneered: "I didn't expect that my Hua Dynasty would have such a backbone official as you......"
Seeing this, Fang Zheng knew that it was going to be bad. People are kind enough to give gifts. It's not good-looking. - If you are scared, others will dare to give gifts in the future. Isn't this young master going to die?
"Your Excellency. Ben Monkey ...... The wife of this marquis. She is the second daughter of the Holy One today. Princess Changping. Don't be reckless...... this lord."
"What? This beautiful and dignified woman. It turned out to be Her Royal Highness Princess Changping, the second daughter of the saint. No wonder the first time the official saw that Mrs. Hou Ye was so graceful and luxurious, more than three points more beautiful than the best woman in the world......, "The official who collided with Changping just now saw the wind and made the rudder fast." Astonishing. The hard part. He didn't blush at all, panting, as if this was what he was talking about.
"You...... You...... What's the name? What is the official position? "It's time to change Fang Zheng. Such a shameless person must be put under the account of this monkey. Can't be the prince, go to the prince, and having Xiao Huaiyuan under the prince is enough to make Fang Zheng upset.
"Back to the words of the Hou Ye. Xiaguan Ye Donghui. , Governor of Changzhou. Ye Donghui stood up and replied respectfully.
"Ye Donggue? What a strange name. Yes. Ben remembers you. β
"Hou. The lower official's name is Ye Donghui. Don't call Ye Donggua ......," Ye Donghui shouted and corrected.
"Oops. Winter melon and winter glow. Aren't they all the same......" Fang Zheng said patiently.
Hui Li silently flowed. It's not the same. It's so different! -

Prince's Mansion.
Two days after the end of the rebellion. The prince quietly returned to the city from the camp of the Shence army. Fan Rui was hunched over. kept congratulating the prince.
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The emperor allowed His Royal Highness to enter the court to supervise the country. For His Highness. It's a great event. β
The crown prince also had a relieved smile on his face. It makes his whole person look more elegant.
"Lone has finally waited for this day. My father was old. It's really time for Lone to share his father's worries. The prince's tone was very embarrassed. I don't know if I'm sighing for myself. Or the emperor.
Fan Rui glanced at the prince's face. Seeing the prince's face beaming. Hesitated. finally spoke: "Forgive me for being presumptuous." It's not time for Your Highness to be happy yet......"
The prince's face sank. Then he said slowly: "What Mr. means is to say." Lonely's fourth brother, King Fu. Was also arranged by his father to enter the Ministry of Officials? β
"Exactly. The emperor's move. Quite meaningful. Your Highness must not ignore it. β
"My father reigned for decades. All of them are making trade-offs. He arranged for King Fu to be in the Ministry of Officials. Lone doubted whether he had known about the day of the rebellion. Lonely suppressed the matter of the Shence army standing still. Therefore, the father has become dissatisfied with Gu......" the prince said hesitantly.
"This matter cannot be left unguarded. Descended into the Imperial Prison State. And King Fu entered the most important ministry of the ministry. Originally, His Highness was not too jealous. But the problem is. Now Fang Zheng is reused by the emperor. He has the power to supervise hundreds of officials. It also defends the capital. It combines civil and military power. As everyone knows. Fang Zheng is a family of Fu Wang. If the two join forces with the DPRK and China. Your Highness will be constrained at every turn when it comes to state affairs. β
The prince's face was gloomy and he said: Why not. I didn't expect Fang Zheng to be so reused. He holds the shadow in his hands. and supervised hundreds of officials. He also led the post of general of the capital defense. Faintly after Pan Rebellious. The first person in the DPRK and China. If it takes time. Let him cultivate power in the DPRK. Pull parties into factions. Later court. Is there a lonely foothold? β
"But...... I can't figure it out below. Why does the emperor want to use him so much? On qualifications. On being an official. There are many people in the DPRK who are stronger than Fang Zheng. Even if it is a few trivial contributions. There is no reason for the emperor to praise him like this. β
"Lone also thought about it for a long time. Lonely guess. This may be that the father is planning for the future......"""The future? β
"Yes. His father was nearly seventy years old. Eunuch in the palace. My father has been sick in recent years. I can barely support myself by taking a decoction. A few days ago, Pan rebelled against the incident. The blow to my father was even greater. Lone thinks. The father may be exhausted. I want to leave early. β
Fan Xing said: "Your Highness." You're getting closer to the day of your accession......"
The prince shook his head and said, "Don't be happy too early. Blessings and misfortunes depend on them. It is true that my father wants to abdicate. But lonely and faint. His father was wavering about the crown prince's position. King Fu's entry into the Ministry of Officials is a good proof of this. Lone is worried. Pan rebelled. The lone force pressed the Shence army outside the city and did not move. If the father knows about it. The position of the lonely prince will definitely not be guaranteed. β
Fan Rui said in a low voice: "This matter should be resolved as soon as possible." Those who know that His Highness has entered the Shence military camp. There is only Liu Changsheng, the general of the Shence Army. Two lieutenants. His Highness should make a decision as soon as possible. Chop the grass and eradicate the roots. Don't leave yourself with trouble......"
The prince looked at Fan. Said slowly: "Father Emperor is extremely angry because of the failure of the Shence Army to rescue him. At this time, the general will die for no reason. Wouldn't it make my father even more suspicious? β
Fan Rui lowered his head. In a flat tone, he said, "Prince, please rest assured." Liu Changsheng will definitely die of a violent illness. Even if the imperial doctor in the palace went to see it. I don't see anything wrong with it......"
The prince stared at Fan Rui with a gloomy gaze for a long time. Fan Rui, who was looking straight at him, was drenched in cold sweat behind his back. Then the prince yawned softly. lightly said: "I'm tired of being lonely......"
Fan Rui bowed his head respectfully. A pun on the word: "Arrange for the prince below." β
