Chapter 191: Blessings and Misfortunes lurk
Zheng himself didn't realize how much authority he had in the court, and he still lived every day, but the officials in the court didn't think so, a hairy boy under the age of twenty, why did the emperor give him so much authority? It's just a matter of controlling the defense of the capital, and even the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China have the right to supervise, which is inevitably too much to favor him, and in the long run, in a few years, there will be a second Pan Shangshu in the DPRK.
In history, many powerful ministers who single-handedly covered the sky rebelled, why? Because their officials are too big, and the power they hold in their hands is too big, so big that even the ministers themselves can't think of any way to promote their own officials, so every day when they go to court, the ministers can't help but glance at the dragon chair where the emperor sits. Then I started thinking YY, if I sat on that chair, what if it would be great......
People's ambition and ** are endless, not to mention that Fang Zheng is just a young man less than twenty years old, this great power is handed over to him, who knows if he will become invincible due to the expansion of ambition, and even have the idea of not fighting?
So the exhortations of the ministers of the court and the central government flew into the palace like snowflakes, including Wei Chengde, who had always had a good relationship with Fang Zheng, and they all folded up and asked the emperor to think twice, not to concentrate power on one person, otherwise it would be difficult to ensure that Jiangshan Sheji would not be coveted by the second Pan Shangshu.
The strange thing is that the emperor left all the recitals in the middle, and did not say that he agreed with or opposed the exhortations of the ministers, did not submit them, and did not reply to them. Seeing the emperor's perfunctory attitude, the ministers were immediately unhappy, and said in their hearts, let's take care of your generation, what kind of attitude do you have? If you don't agree, you have to say something, right?
So the ministers were discouraged and continued to play the fold, and the wording of the second fold was much more intense. Some accuse the emperor of nepotism, which is the way to bring disaster to the country, and some even point the finger at Fang Zheng Fang Zheng, this person has a cunning face, ~ male appearance, and his heart is not small.
The emperor still ignored it, but these twists and turns were thrown to the crown prince, who had just entered the court to supervise the country, and asked him to approve it.
Now it is difficult for the prince to agree to the ministers' right to cut Fang Zheng, and he is afraid that his father will not be satisfied with his handling method and will refuse the ministers' request, which is not easy for the prince who has just entered the court and urgently needs the assistance and support of the ministers.
After careful consideration, the prince approved six words on the recital: "Delay the discussion, do not repeat it." ”——

Invite Fang Zheng and Changping in the private room, and the couple are talking about me and me. Feed me a mouthful of chicken soup. I'll feed you a sip of wine. Full of deep scenes. The female guards standing aside gave goosebumps all over their bodies.
Changping's long flowing hair has become high into a high knot. This is the usual hairstyle for married women. It is to tie the hair in a knot and tie it at the back of the head. Then fix it with a hairpin or hairpin. It makes the whole person look mature and generous.
The long is no longer as green as it used to be. Every gesture has a womanly charming. - Don't praise Fang Zheng for being a clever young man. He saw that the little princess of Changle occupied Changping all day long. So it was rare in his life to diligently shut himself in the study all day. Dozens of fairy tales were written crookedly. There are classics from past lives. There are also their own nonsense.
Give the story to Midori. Fang Zheng negotiated conditions with Changle. She slept with Midori. Midori tells her stories. After paying the price of a thousand taels of silver. Changle reluctantly followed Xiao Lu to sleep. Fang Zheng's trick succeeded. ** Entered the long flat house again and again. A long-cherished wish. Go to ** with Changping......
Changping also fulfilled his long-cherished wish. finally became a square woman. He also treated Fang Zheng more gently. The old brutal temper seems to be completely gone. The whole person has a new look. Anytime, anywhere. It's all so gentle and elegant. The birds are human......
Suddenly, the door of the private room was pushed open. A young man walks in. As he walked, he smiled and said, "I heard that Brother Fang is here." The little brother came to ...... with Brother Fang"
Before the young man finished speaking, Changping kicked it without hesitation, and shouted violently: "Didn't you see the old lady eating with her husband?" Come on, beat him to death for the old lady! ”
Fang Zheng held his forehead and sighed, my wife, what do you say? Alas, just be gentle with me, and you can't expect much from her......
Changping's female guards surrounded the young man when he entered, and when they heard Changping's order, they did not hesitate to take this uninvited guest as a sandbag for boxing.
The young man who came in was screamed by the sudden punches and kicks, and hurriedly squatted on the ground to protect his head with his hands, and shouted: "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! Ah! ”
Fang Zheng heard the voice, huh? It's familiar, it seems to be Xiao Huaiyuan's kid......
Since Pan Shangshu's rebellion, Fang Zheng hadn't seen him again, and he didn't know what bad things he had been doing recently. This kid has always been slippery, and although he has gained the upper hand in several battles with him, he has suffered a few small losses, but Fang Zheng still doesn't like him when he sees him.
What bothered him the most was Xiao Huaiyuan's identity, and Fang Zheng still hadn't figured out who he was loyal to. Who would dare to associate with such an unidentified person?
Changping was taken aback when he saw that the person who came in seemed to be familiar with his husband, and hurriedly waited to stop the female guards from committing violence. The wife beat her husband's friend, which is too much to say.
Who knew that Fang Zheng grabbed her, winked at her quietly, then turned his head to look out the window, and said affectionately: "Ah! Lady, you see, what a prosperous and lively elephant! ”
Changping and Fang Zheng have had a tacit understanding for a long time, seeing Fang Zheng acting like this, how could he not understand what he meant?
Changping turned his head and scolded the female guards viciously: "Didn't you eat? Beat him up to the old lady! ”
Then he turned around and leaned on Fang Zheng's shoulder softly, and said softly and glutinously: "Ah! Husband, the scenery is really beautiful......"
Fang ...... Brother Fang! I have intelligence! You pretend to be ...... again I'm not going to tell you anymore...... Ah! Xiao Huaiyuan's voice became weaker and weaker.
Fang Zheng was shocked, and rushed to Xiao Huaiyuan's side with an arrow step, blocking the female guard's fists and feet
Huaiyuan was lying on the ground and was dying, his whole body was twitching, and his nose was blue and even the corners of his mouth were foaming at the mouth.
"Brother Xiao! How are you? Brother Xiao! Wake up! Brother, I didn't think that heaven and man would be separated forever, and how ......painful it would be," Fang Zheng hugged Xiao Huaiyuan's body, looked up to the sky and cried.
"Brother Fang, save your energy...... I can't die yet......" Xiao Huaiyuan said weakly.
"Ahh Brother Xiao! Are you finally awake? Do you know how worried I am about you, little brother? ”
"Really? Brother Fang is really bothered, but Brother Fang, why do you keep holding on to your little brother? The younger brother is not as good as Long Yang's broken sleeves, and he also asks Brother Fang to respect himself. ”
"Huh?" Fang Zheng was stunned and lowered that he really hugged Xiao Huaiyuan, this damn kid didn't snuggle up in his arms politely with him, like a bird, and there was a pleasant smile on his face, which was extremely obscene.
Fang Zheng felt a chill in his heart for a while, and ~ evil hands held Xiao Huaiyuan's head, throwing it out like garbage, Huaiyuan was defenseless for a while, and his head hit the ground hard, and naturally there was a howl like killing pigs.
"Ahh Brother Xiao! What about you? The younger brother missed for a while, and I hope that Brother Xiao will not be strange......"
Changping looked at Fang Zheng ruthlessly, and led the female guards out of the private room, leaving plenty of space for these two shameless people to give full play to their hypocritical expertise.
"Okay, don't pretend, play pretending to be dead in front of me, you're still a little too tender, you've practiced kung fu, don't say you can't bear these beatings......" After Changping went out, Fang Zheng stood up and poured himself a cup of tea, then sat on the chair and crossed Erlang's legs, smiling and admiring Xiao Huaiyuan's rolling and screaming.
Xiao Huaiyuan was also single, and when he saw that he couldn't hide it, he didn't pretend anymore, he got up from the ground, walked to the table and poured himself a cup of tea, the two sat opposite each other, just looked at each other and smiled, laughing fakely.
"Pan Shu has fallen, Brother Xiao, who are you loyal to, can you say it now? If you don't say it now, junior brother, I have no choice but to arrest you as a remnant of the Pan Party and torture you. Fang Zheng looked at Xiao Huaiyuan with a smile.
Xiao Huaiyuan had a bitter face: "Brother Fang, the junior brother didn't offend you, right?" Why don't you let me go? We've known each other for so long, and I feel my conscience and say, has my little brother ever hurt you? ”
Fang Zheng snorted: "I don't understand, what kind of bullshit identity are you?" Do you need such a mysterious one? ”
Xiao Huaiyuan said with a smile: "Compared to Brother Fang, the younger brother is not even a bullshit, so why should Brother Fang keep trying to force each other?" ”
It's too brain-consuming to talk to this kid, Fang Zheng is like a dog biting a hedgehog, and he can't put his mouth shut.
Sighing, Fang Zheng said helplessly: "Okay, don't talk about this." You just said you have intelligence, what intelligence? ”
Xiao Huaiyuan pretended to be stupid and said: "Intelligence? Did I say that? Didn't you? ”
"Someone! Give Lao Tzu a beating! ”
"Ahh Brother Fang! The little brother knows that he is wrong......"
“…………”
"Brother Fang, first of all, congratulations on holding great power and becoming a supreme minister from now on." Xiao Huaiyuan smiled first and arched his hand to Fang Zheng.
Fang Zheng smacked his lips and said, "Why doesn't it smell right to you?" ”
Xiao Huaiyuan said with a smile: "Brother Fang is really smart, Brother Fang knows that now you are the target of the courtiers?" You're in danger now......"
Fang Zheng said with a sad face when he heard this: "I know, I have entered the palace several times to ask the emperor to cut my power, but the emperor has rejected it, alas, the emperor is desperately holding me up, and the ministers are desperately pressing me down, what are these people playing?" ”
Xiao Huaiyuan said with a straight face: "Brother Fang, you have to be careful, the emperor has his own intentions for praising you, the ministers have risen up to suppress you, but they are instigated by others, if Brother Fang does not handle this matter well, be careful and endanger your life!" ”
"Instigated? Who? Who can't get along with me? ”
"Brother Fang is in a high position before he is a weak crown, and no one is comfortable in his heart, so Brother Fang doesn't need to ask, it's better to make plans early......"
"I've also thought about it, if I really can't hand over the power, then it's better to avoid it for the time being......"
“…………”
“…………”
The two closed the door in the private room of the Invitation Moon Building and discussed in a low voice for more than an hour, and then parted and said goodbye.
On the way home, Fang Zheng's heart was heavy. Since Pan Shangshu fell, he always felt that there was an invisible hand in the court, making waves in it, and the most inexplicable thing was the emperor, why did he grant himself so much power? Isn't this lifting yourself to the fire grill and roasting? Also, the emperor abolished the old rules and transferred the fat man to the ministry, and ordered the prince to supervise the country, and then supervised the hundred officials himself, guarded the capital, and arrested a group of Pan Party officials in the middle of the court in time to add a large number of alternate officials into the court, and three months later, he also had to open the Enke to raise the scholars, and the four factions in the DPRK and China gradually took shape, the prince faction, the so-called conservative officials of the Qing school Wei Chengde was the leader, and he and the fat man were considered a faction of those newly added officials and a faction......
Look at this mess, Fang Zheng's head has grown several times, doesn't the emperor hate his courtiers the most for forming factions? Looking at the current power layout of the court, the four factions in the court are clearly deliberately indulged or even deliberately matched, what does the emperor mean? Are you afraid that the world will not be in chaos? The old man is addicted to suppressing rebellions, right? This is not a good habit, and I have to persuade him when I have time......
After resting at home for a few days, Zheng didn't go to the court or see the expansion work of the shadow, Wen Sen came to ask for instructions several times that the Metropolitan Procuratorate should be selected for construction, but Fang Zheng blocked it back. Now is the sensitive time, Zheng doesn't want to arouse the disgust of the ministers anymore.
Hundreds of officials rose up to oppose Fang Zheng's grasp of power, and one of the purposes was that they didn't want to see the Metropolitan Procuratorate built smoothly and profitably, and they were happily accepting bribes in front of the officials, who wants to suddenly have an agency on their heads to manage themselves?
Fang Zheng knew their intentions, but fortunately, Fang Zheng himself was not keen on power, and he didn't like to be busy with business every day, he was only interested in silver.
Speaking of silver...... Pan Shangshu has already been reviewed, is it time to go to his house to raid his house? Fang Zheng touched his chin and pondered, Pan Shang
For so many years, officials have formed factions, pulled flags and rebelled, these are all bottomless pits to fill, don't you have any economic strength? Maybe there is a mountain of gold in his house waiting for Young Master Ben to dig it, if Young Master Ben doesn't laugh, wouldn't he be sorry for his wife and children? The four wives in the family will have children for this young master in the future, if they don't make more money for their families, where will they get the money to invite a wet nurse in the future? When the children are older, they need a dowry to marry a wife, and a dowry to get married, all of which cost money......
It's decided! Raid your home! It is divided into nineteen with the treasury, I am nine, the treasury is one, the transaction is fair, and the children are not bullied.
After making up his mind, Fang Zheng said in a loud voice: "Someone!" Come on! Go and call Vinson to come and see me! ”
As soon as the subordinates on the side went out in response, Wen Sen magically appeared in front of Fang Zheng.
Now Wen Sen's way of appearing is relatively gentle, after being taught by Fang Zheng once, Wen Sen is much more well-behaved, and he knocked on the door before coming in, so polite that he is like an elegant gentleman who has been taught by Confucianism for many years.
"Ho, you're fast enough, I said Lao Wen, don't you have nothing to do, lying on the roof of my house all day long, waiting for me to summon you?"
Wen Sen hurriedly smiled and said, "My lord is serious, it just so happens that my subordinates have something to report to you......"
Fang Zheng pulled Wen Sen and walked out: "I'll talk about it later, tell all the shadow brothers to gather, let's go to Pan's mansion to raid the house......"
Vincent was puzzled: "Your Excellency...... Can you wait? Subordinates have something to report......"
"Nothing in the sky is as important as copying the house, to be honest, I wanted to copy the old Pan family for a long time, how dangerous it is to put the silver in the empty mansion! It's better to move to my storeroom......"
"Your Excellency...... Pan Wenyuan held the head of the cell to come from the prison, wanting to see the adults for the last time. ”
Fang walked out with Wen Sen regardless of it, and said absentmindedly: "Okay, no problem, you go and tell him, when I finish raiding his house, I will go to the prison to see him and ......have a good conversation with him."
After copying the house, talk about joy again? Vinson was a little speechless.
"My lord, you better meet with him first, maybe Pan Wenyuan has something important to tell you......" Wen Sen persuaded bitterly.
Fang Zheng was also stumped for a while, thought for a while, and finally stomped his feet: "Go!" Go to the prison first, this old thing will be stabbed, and there will be a lot of things, delaying the young master to make a fortune......"——
-
The prison still smelled of gloomy energy, and when he revisited the old place, Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
The last time Fang Zheng was imprisoned, it was the result of the emperor's compromise with Pan Shangshu, and it was done for Pan Shangshu to see, in order to stabilize the hearts of the Pan Party.
Less than a year later, Pan Shangshu himself came in, and he committed the crime of rebellion, and he would never be able to turn over. I can't help but feel that the world is impermanent, and feng shui rotates.
The prison is heavy and heavily guarded, especially the cell where Pan Shangshu is held, and the guards are even overlapping, and even the forbidden army and the shadow are stationed there.
Fang Zheng is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and now he has great power, how can the guards not know him? There was no one to stop him along the way, and he came directly to the door of the prison where Pan Shangshu was held, and the jailer took the initiative to open the big lock of the prison without saying a word without waiting for Fang Zheng's instructions.
Pan Shangshu was already a lot haggard, his hair and beard were gray, and when he saw that the cell door was unlocked, Pan Shangshu took the initiative to step forward, opened the door of the prison, and looked at Fang Zheng and said, "Are you here?" Come in......"
A strange scene suddenly floated in Fang Zheng's heart, he thought of the wordy Tang Seng in "Journey to the West", and he was still thinking about what if Tang Seng ...... Oh, no, if Pan Shangshu suddenly took his hand at this moment and sang affectionately to him: "ONLYYYOU......" Should he slap him or stab him?
Fortunately, Pan Shangshu was not as unobtrusive as Fang Zheng, and after inviting Fang Zheng in, he sat on the simple bed board in the prison and said lightly: "Lord Fang, the old man has some confidential things to tell you alone, can you ask the entourage to avoid it first?" ”
Fang Zheng agreed: "No problem, Lao Wen, you go out first...... Wait! Before you go out, help me search his body, in case this old thing hides a weapon and stabs this official, then I will die too unjustly......"
Wen Sen replied in a low voice, and then stepped forward and began to carefully search Pan Shangshu's body, after searching, Wen Sen nodded to Fang Zheng, signaled that it was okay, and then exited the prison door.
Pan Shangshu smiled bitterly: "It is said that Fang Zheng is greedy for life and afraid of death, and everything is the first thing to save his life, this statement is really true......
Fang Zheng smiled dryly: "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, you can't joke about life-threatening matters...... You're in your sixties, you've lived enough, I'm still young......"
The two have always been enemies of life and death, and they have never had a friendship, and they don't need to have a hypocritical polite greeting first.
Fang Zheng saw that there was not even a chair in the cell except for a bed, and there was no place to sit, how could Fang Zheng be willing to wronged himself? Immediately sat on the bed board unceremoniously, and squeezed Pan Shangshu, and said, "Hey, go over a little!" Not enthusiastic at all, and the guests don't say to give up a seat when they come......"
Pan Shangshu had to make room for him under the eaves, and the two of them sat side by side on a bed, facing the prison door, feeling like a pair of suffering grandfathers and sons......
"Tell me, what did you call me for? Our friendship hasn't reached the point of drinking and chatting together, right? ”
"Lord Fang, you have destroyed the old man's rebellion case by yourself, the emperor is afraid that he will be more fond of you, right? It's convenient to tell the old man, has the emperor promoted you to any official now? ”
"It doesn't hurt to tell you, the emperor made me a marquis and ordered me to be the general of the capital garrison, in charge of the defense of the capital. And set up the Metropolitan Procuratorate and ordered me to supervise the hundred officials of the DPRK and China......"
Pan Shangshu stroked his beard, closed his eyes and thought about it, and after a while, he spoke: "Lord Fang, please forgive the old man for being blunt, now your situation is in danger......
Fang Zheng was depressed when he heard this, a Xiao Huaiyuan and a Pan Shangshu all said that I was in danger, what do you mean? I have the word "unlucky" engraved on my face or what's wrong?
