Chapter 69: The Old Minister Tells the Upstart (II)
"What's going on? Come quickly, and don't hide it in the slightest. There was a hint of sternness in the emperor's tone.
Fang Zheng shrunk his neck, his eyes rolled, and then said "painfully": "Your Majesty, yesterday Weichen and his concubine went to the capital Ruyuzhai to buy some rouge gouache, my colleagues probably don't know yet, right?" Such as Yuzhai's rouge gouache is the best in the capital, the price is preferential, the packaging is also exquisite, the rouge made of the best materials in the world, which is mixed with a little South China Sea pearl powder, not only beauty, but also beauty, if the female relatives of the family are dark-skinned, people are old pearl yellow, you have to come to a box of ......"
The more the ministers listened, the more confused they became, what was this Lord Fang talking about? Doesn't sound right, what's the matter with always boasting about Ruyuzhai here?
Of course, Fang Zheng's purpose was only clear to him. The more I say it, the more beautiful it is, my buddy is worthy of being the elite among the people who cross over, and the advertisement hits the Jinluan Palace, who can be more awesome than me?
As he was talking, suddenly two angry voices said at the same time: "Stop! ”
The people who spoke were none other than the emperor and Pan Shangshu. After Pan Shangshu spoke, he was shocked to find that he was talking in unison with the emperor, his old face turned white with fright, and he knelt down in panic to ask for guilt, the emperor waved his hand indifferently, ordered him to be flat, and then impatiently knocked on the armrest next to the dragon chair and said: "Fang Aiqing, talk about the point!" ”
Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the point is that when Weichen and his concubine were buying rouge, this son of Pan Shangshu came in out of nowhere, and saw that Weichen's concubine was beautiful, and he actually made teasing words, and wanted to forcibly snatch her into the house, Weichen was angry for a while, so he stepped forward to argue with him, but he didn't expect that guy's quality was too bad, and he started to do it when he was arguing, and said that his father was a product of the dynasty, and no one in the capital dared to provoke him. Weichen thought at the time, Pan Laoshangshu is an important minister of the country, and his family rules and upbringing are first-class in the entire capital, how can he teach this kind of son? It's clear that guy is pretending, and he's so arrogant outside, isn't this ruining Pan Laoshangshu's reputation? Is it tolerable or intolerable? In order to return Pan Shangshu's innocence, Wei Chen was so angry that he couldn't help but order the family to step forward and beat him lightly a few times......"
Pan Shangshu was originally glaring at Fang Zheng angrily, but as soon as he finished speaking, Pan Shangshu was dumbfounded. This guy is so despicable, is there such a squeeze? Although his son is not a good person, but he is his own son after all, at this time, Pan Shangshu was squeezed by Fang Zheng to admit it, and it is not good not to admit it, he was embarrassed for a long time, and his old face was red, so he held back a few words: "You...... You are talking nonsense! ”
Fang Zheng looked at Pan Shangshu aggrievedly: "Master Pan, the lower officials don't dare to talk nonsense, there were a lot of people who witnessed it in Ruyuzhai at that time, you can ask if you don't believe it, everyone is indignant, and they are very upset about Pan Shangshu, everyone says that Pan Shangshu is an old minister of the two dynasties, the important weapon of the country, and he has a clear name, that guy dares to pretend to be the son of Pan Laoshangshu to ruin your reputation outside, the crime is unforgivable!" ”
"You...... You ......" Pan Shangshu pointed at Fang Zheng's nose and was so angry that he couldn't speak, and the ministers in the hall turned their heads one after another, a case of an old minister suing the upstart, and now under Fang Zheng's nonsense, the whole case has become confusing.
Pan Shangshu took a deep breath, suppressed his furious emotions, and said calmly: "Lord Fang, the old man told you that the person you beat yesterday is indeed the old man's son. According to the old man's investigation, at that time, you ordered your family to protect the yard to the dog for no reason, and the dog did not fight back at all during the whole process, as for what you said about molesting your concubine Yunyun, the old man is not very clear, the dog has always been self-denying and law-abiding, and the old man believes that he will never do such a thing. ”
Fang Zheng was secretly angry in his heart when he heard this, damn! You old thing has a sanctimonious face, but I didn't expect it to be more shameless than Lao Tzu, so I simply came to push two, five or six, and completely refused to admit it. No wonder you can get mixed into the position of the court scholar, the prince and the prince, Lao Tzu has to learn more from you.
Fang Zheng blinked his innocent eyes: "Your Majesty, Pan Shangshu, colleagues in the DPRK and China, you see, I am a weak scholar, ordinary self-cultivation, and no quarrel with the world, how can I take the initiative to provoke others if I have nothing to do?" In fact, he first molested the concubine of the lower official, everyone knows that a man, especially a court official, if he can't even protect his own woman, how can he be expected to rule the country and the world with his family? So the lower official ordered the guards to beat him lightly a few times...... Xia Guan is very regretful, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, this person turned out to be Pan Shangshu's son, this ...... It's hard to say anything to the lower officials......"
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have only now suddenly realized that Pan Shangshu is not maliciously framed, but there is indeed such a thing! Listening to what Master Fang said, Pan Shangshu's son didn't take advantage of it, he deserved to be beaten.
The emperor couldn't sit still at this time, and slapped the armrest fiercely: "Enough!" This is the Jinluan Palace, which is a place to deal with national affairs and people's livelihoods. ”
When the ministers heard this, they all shut up and were silent. Master Pan was originally unconvinced, and he was going to argue again, but he immediately stopped cooking and honestly kept silent.
After a pause, the emperor said: "Pan Shangshu, your son was beaten, I will send someone to investigate carefully, if it is found out that it is true that he molested the female dependents of court officials, I hope you will discipline more, so as not to damage Pan Shangshu's reputation for your lifetime." ”
Pan Shangshu only said yes, Fang Zheng was very happy when he saw this, the old thing deserved it! asked you to sue Lao Tzu for his tricks, this is good, you didn't take advantage of it, right?
The emperor said again: "Fang Zheng, first of all, whether you are right or wrong, but it is a fact that you beat people, and the dignified court officials are like a ruffian in the street, insulting the court, I will punish you for half a year, do you accept it or not?" ”
Fang Zheng smiled happily: "Serve, serve!" The emperor is wise and martial, and he is fair, which is really the blessing of my Chinese dynasty and the blessing of the people, long live my emperor, long live long live, long live!"
Fang Zheng didn't know how much he had for half a year, but with the Fang family's family business, this bit of money would not be able to enter the eyes of Master Fang's law at all, and the old thing that exchanged half a year's money for the surname Pan was eaten in the court, and this transaction did not suffer a loss, if it was possible, Fang Zheng was even willing to come out like this every other day in the future. Anyway, what he has is silver, so he should spend money to buy tickets to watch the show.
A dispute ended in a hurry under the intervention of the emperor. But the ministers all know in their hearts that this is just the beginning, one is the current court, and the other is the new favorite of the emperor.
A small episode passed like this, calmly facing the complicated gaze of the ministers, and Pan Shangshu's resentful eyes, Fang Zheng returned to the courtiers' class with his head held high, leaned next to the big pillar, and dozed off boredly, and the ministers also began to play and discuss national affairs, and the morning passed peacefully.
It wasn't until Xiao Huangmen shouted loudly: "The emperor retreats from the dynasty-" Fang Zheng woke up, and followed the hundred officials in a daze to kneel down and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live-", and then walked out in a daze, looked up at the sky, it was starry when it came, and now the sun is shining.
Tired, tired. After a day like this, I feel tired, and if I do this every day in the future, how can I be born? Young master, the purpose of my crossing is not to find guilt, I have to think of some way to make myself easier. At least let me get enough sleep, right?
Suddenly, a shrill voice came from behind him: "Lord Fang Zhengfang, please stay." ”
Looking back, the old acquaintance was none other than Gonggong Cao.
Fang Zheng smiled and arched his hand: "Yo, Gonggong Cao, you look really good today, are you in a good mood?" ”
Gonggong Cao smiled like a cockscomb flower: "Where, Lord Fang looks good today." ”
"I don't know if Gonggong Cao called Xiaguan, what do you have to say?"
"The emperor said, please go to the imperial study now, the emperor wants to see you."
See me again? You won't want to hit me again this time, will you? Fang Zheng's face turned pale suddenly, and his hands subconsciously covered his buttocks.
"Master Fang, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah, it's nothing ......" Looking around, Fang Zheng took out a silver ticket and stuffed it into Gonggong Cao's hand, and said softly: "Gonggong Cao, I don't know how the emperor is feeling now?" ”
Gonggong Cao smiled and tucked the silver ticket into his sleeve, this Lord Fang doesn't look young, but he is much more sensible than those old ministers, and he will send him silver flowers if he has nothing to do, such an interesting official, our family can't say that we will help him more in the future, if there is any news, he will not be able to benefit our family.
"Lord Fang is too worried, our family is not angry when we see the emperor, I guess I won't blame you, you just go."
With Father-in-law Cao's words, Fang Zheng's heart was a little lighter, and with apprehension, Fang Zheng followed Father-in-law Cao to the imperial study.
After the emperor announced his audience, Fang Zheng half-hung his head and stepped in gently. This time, I learned to be obedient, first looked around, and saw that the emperor was sitting behind the bookcase in front of him, so he knelt down and saluted: "Weichen Fang Zheng, I am ordered to see the driver, long live my emperor......"
"Alright, let's get even." The emperor still didn't give him a chance to finish his words this time.
"Fang Zheng, hum, you dare to fight even the son of the official Shangshu, your courage is really not small." The emperor's tone was calm, and he couldn't hear the joy or anger.
Fang Zheng quietly raised his head, observed the emperor's face, and said with a cautious smile: "Your Majesty, Weichen's courage is very small, really." It's really Pan Shangshu's son who deceives people too much, although Weichen is knowledgeable and gentle and elegant on weekdays, but the mud bodhisattva also has three points of earthiness, isn't it? That bastard, uh, that woman who teased me in front of the public, this tone of Weichen can't bear it. ”
"Just you, you are still knowledgeable, gentle and elegant?" The emperor shook his head and chuckled: "Fang Aiqing, whether you describe yourself or others in the future, you must use words and sentences accurately and appropriately, in my opinion, the words "knowledgeable" and "gentle and elegant" have nothing to do with you in any case, and it is more appropriate to be sleek and cunning, hehe." ”
