Chapter 186: Reward and Cleansing
Chapter 186 of the Young Master of the Crossing is rewarded and cleaned
Pan Shangshu looked lost and depressed. Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel happy in his heart
He has been an official in the court until now. How much trouble has this old thing caused itself? The two looked at each other unpleasantly from the first time they met. It's like having a grudge against your previous life. Playing tricks on each other in the dark. Trip down. Sprinkle lime. Son steals peaches......
It's good now. The old thing has fallen.
The meaning of life. There is nothing more than pleasure and revenge. Watching the enemy wail and beg for mercy under his nose. Watch him step by step towards destruction.
Leaned over and picked up the fire fold that Pan Shangshu had dropped. Fang Zheng smiled and hooked his shoulder. It's like intimacy.
"Old thing. You don't realize it. Pretending to be crazy and stupid. After the emperor knew. Maybe it's in the love for many years. I can reward you with a good time. Don't have to suffer from that Ling Chi? β
"You...... How do you know? Pan Shangshu looked at Fang Zheng in surprise. The expression is incredible.
Fang Zheng smiled and shook his head: "Old thing." You've been in the position for too long. Tricks to pretend to be crazy and stupid. You may have been unfamiliar with it.
Speaking of which. In this regard. I'm the ...... home."
looked at Pan Shangshu's defeated face meaningfully. Fang Zhengji: "...... Say you're old and confused, and you may not admit it. There is a bottom line for pretending to be crazy and stupid. You can slash and kill with a kitchen knife. You can stand outside the temple and scold. You can also strip naked and run naked in the palace. Maybe the emperor will find out. Pity you for all the years of toil. Reward you with a good time. I don't even know how to let you live. But you made one of the biggest mistakes......"
"What...... Mistake? β
Fang Zheng happily pointed to the dragon on the Golden Palace. "The chair. But not all the scales in the hearts of the emperors of all dynasties can be sitting. What's more, you sit on it and call yourself "I". What does this mean? It shows that you are crazy and still want to be an emperor. Such an indomitable person. If the emperor lets you die too quickly. I have your last name! β
Pan's eyes flashed with despair. Fang Zheng patted him on the shoulder sympathetically: "You were careless." What is this called when I reminded you when I came in? Cleverness is mistaken by cleverness! β
He looked down at the fire fold in his hand. Fang Zheng asked with concern, "...... Want to burn yourself to death? β
After speaking, Fang Zheng also blew the fire fold very seriously. The fire folds and ignites when it sees the wind. A bright fire was emitted.
Pan Shangshu quickly swept backwards and walked far away. The terrified trembling voice said, "You...... You, you. Stay back! Old man...... The old man is in prison and is full of ......"
Fang Zheng was flustered. Then he was happy again: "The old thing can't see how old you are." It's still a practitioner. It's actually a light calculation, and the young man is gone......"
Fang Zheng waved his hand as he spoke. Ordered: "Someone! Arrest him. Imprisoned in prison. Assign someone to take care of it. He can't be allowed to kill himself. No one is allowed to visit either! β
Several big-shouldered and round-waisted taxis rushed forward. A handful of Pan Shangshu was pressed down. Tie it sturdily. Down.
Fang Zheng turned around and walked out of the Golden Palace. Exhale, the square in front of the hall was strewn with the corpses of rebel soldiers, and the red blood stains were all over the place. The Long Wu Army and the soldiers of the Dragon Army are cleaning up.
Fang Zheng turned around and smiled at Feng Qiudao and Han Dashi: "The big thing is decided!" Congratulations to the two generals. This time, the two rescued the driver. The emperor will reward the two of them for eating meat. The little one followed the two and drank a sip of soup......"
Han Dashi said with a smile: "Lord Fang is too modest. When the number of adults is the greatest, they also suffer the most. Fang Dacai is the first hero! β
Lao Tzu really suffered the most. That's a no-brainer. But I don't like promotions. If the emperor converts my meritorious deeds into silver, reward me. How nice would that be......
remembered that last night he rushed out of the besieged Fang Mansion in the starry night. Several times from birth to death. Sneak attack on rebel soldiers. He also attacked the rebel lieutenant. and then sneak attack the rebel general Qian Long of the Longwu Army......
Why are you always sneaking up on others? And the level of the sneak attack is higher than the other. Fang Zheng shivered with palpitations. It's so uncool. Think twice about doing it later. Look before you leap......
The shadows of officials appeared one after another at the West Palace Gate. Threes, threes, twos and twos walked together. Frightened crossed the square full of rebel corpses. Towards the Golden Temple.
They all had different expressions. Some were overjoyed. Some are desperate. Some are terrified. Fang Zheng looked at them. I sneered in my heart. over this rebellion. The situation between the DPRK and China is bound to undergo earth-shaking changes. None of the former ministers attached to the Pan Party could escape. Condemned. Cleaned. promoted. And the ...... who were kicked out
The skeptical ministers went to the Golden Palace Gate. Seeing Fang Zheng looking at them with a smile in his hands. There were also two murderous generals standing beside Fang Zheng. One of them was Feng Qiudao of the Long Wu Army. The temple gates were lined with fierce and solemn soldiers. Many of the soldiers still had blood stains on their faces. The atmosphere of the whole scene was eerie. A strong murderous aura rebuked the palace hall.
The ministers were all shocked. Today's early dynasty. I don't know how many colleagues will be guillotined. The ministers who were attached to the Pan Party trembled uncontrollably at this time. Some even paralyzed directly in fright. Straight twitching.
Fang Zheng stepped forward as usual. A kind smile on his face: "Oops." Ladies and gentlemen. Long time no see. You slept soundly last night, didn't you? I envy you......"
The ministers looked at each other. smiled wryly. The incense? Last night the rebels entered the city. Set fire all over the city. Wanton slaughter of the people. There were shouts of killing everywhere. Screams. The officials sat at home in trepidation. for fear that the rebels would rush into his house. Slaughter yourself all over the house. Frightened and frightened. They didn't dare to close their eyes all night. Now a hairy boy actually asks himself if he sleeps well...... Does he speak human language?
"Huh? Lord Wei. Didn't you sleep well? Have dark circles under your eyes...... Although you are old. But also pay attention to the image. You are the vanguard of the Merry Array. If you have dark circles, you won't like the big girl and the little daughter-in-law......"
Among the courtiers.
Wei Chengde, the secretary of the military department, has a good relationship. After all, the two had worked together with the Turks. The impression of each other is not bad.
Wei Chengde snorted angrily, rolled his eyes and said, "Lord Fang." Hugh Na Lao Kai. The old man is upright. What a pioneer in the Merry Array. Don't talk nonsense......"
Wei Chengde has been in a-for-tat confrontation with the Pan Party. The Pan Party fell. He's the happiest. So he's in a good mood right now.
"Oh, Lord Wei. Don't be modest. Which of us is with whom. Miss Yiyi from the Peony Building asked me to bring you a good one. She said you hadn't been to see her in a long time......"
"How could she ask you to talk..."
"Passing by. Xia Guan was purely passing by. It's true! The purity between you and Miss Yiyi is like a blank sheet of paper, and you are not old-hearted. An evergreen tree in the green lane. Where can you be your rival in love......"
"Humph!"
Fang Zheng's hippie smile was smiling for a while, and the tension in his anger eased a little.
At this point, it is. A small yellow door hurriedly ran in outside the gate of the West Palace. shouted loudly: "The emperor is in the early dynasty." Hundreds of officials lined upβ"
The ministers were solemn. Consciously line up according to the grade. Quietly separated on both sides of the temple gate.
The soldiers who were sweeping the square in front of the hall stopped one after another. Kneeling in a water full of blood.
Not long. Five-clawed golden dragon yellow robe. Wearing a pterodactyl crown. The emperor, who was full of solemnity and majesty, got down at the gate of the palace, looked at the square with his eyes level, and turned a blind eye to the corpses of the rebels in the square. His feet were covered with crimson blood. Step by step towards the Golden Temple. He left behind him a blood-red footprint. The sound of gentle footsteps was like the beat of a drum before the killing of the head in the court. One by one, it struck in the hearts of everyone.
Soon, the emperor had already stepped on the jade steps in front of the golden palace, and the little yellow door shouted behind the emperor: "The emperor is in the palace." Hundreds of officials worshipped-"
The ministers immediately knelt down and watched the emperor's blood-stained footprints imprint on the gold bricks on the top of the Golden Palace. Quite a few officials turned even paler. Like Doomsday One. Shivering.
Until the emperor sat down on the dragon chair. The ministers shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long liveβ"
This time, the emperor didn't say "all the ministers are flat". And nodded directly to the yellow door beside him.
Xiao Huangmen immediately took a step forward. Slowly unfold the yellow silk in his hand. He said loudly: "First-class loyal and brave uncle." Scattered on the right side of the horse. He is also the captain of the horse, Fang Zheng. Bow down and bow downβ"
Fang Zheng, who was about to sleep against the pillar, sighed when he heard this. The Pan Party has not yet been arrested. What kind of hero are you in a hurry? I don't know what kind of official the emperor will promote me this time......
"Weichen Fang Zheng respectfully listens to the holy decree-" Fang Zheng stood up and stood in the middle of the main hall. A few more steps forward. Bow down and say loudly.
"The edict said: On the night of October 15 in the second year of the founding of the Chinese Dynasty. Pan Zhiwen Yuan. Instigated the Shenwu army Zhao to rebel against the rebels and invade the capital. Burn and loot. Do no evil. The people were killed and wounded. Causing misery to the living. The rivers and mountains are turbulent. When the country is in great trouble. Fang Zheng is loyal to the monarch and the country. Out of town alone. Move troops to the rescue. and annihilate the rebels. Capture the thief alive and the head of Pan Rebellious. Protect the country from falling into the hands of traitors. This is a great achievement. No less than breaking new ground. I remember it. Therefore, Fang Zheng was a first-class loyal and brave marquis. Increase the number of households by 1,000. Hereditary replacement. Sheng Fang Zheng was the general of the capital garrison. Elites can be selected from each army. Defend the capital. Let him make a decision on the spot. Officials below the second rank of the DPRK and China. It has the right to cut first and then play. And give the forbidden palace horseback riding. It is allowed to enter the palace at any time to participate in the secret. Reward three taels of gold. Five hundred horses of silk. 200 East Pearls. Chinβ"
The ministers were in an uproar. Such a reward can be regarded as the emperor's grace. The marquis is still to be spoken. But he was named the general of the garrison of the capital. And officials below the second grade have the right to cut first and then play. This reward is too big. What is Erpin? It's at the level of a scholar. Other words. In the future, except for a few Shangshu in the court. If anyone sins in this hand? He can kill as much as he wants. Just think about it. This kid has so much power.
Fang Zheng's own brain is also confused. This half-written decree goes around a long way. He didn't understand what was being said. I vaguely understood that it seemed to have been promoted. From earl to marquis. And then he seemed to be some kind of general again. - How did I become a general? Being a general doesn't mean going to war. Bleed. Be desperate......
"Fang Zheng. You can receive thanksgiving. The shrill voice of the little yellow door interrupted Fang Zheng's thoughts.
"Ahem...... That's what. Above. Wechen is a civil official. And Weichen feels that he is doing a good job as a civil official. How can you be a general? It's not the right match with the minister's major......" Fang Zheng laughed with him. Cautiously trying to change the emperor's mind.
"Bold! Fang Zheng, do you dare to resist the order? "The emperor didn't say anything yet. The little yellow door beside him roared.
Fang Zheng glanced at the little yellow door. This kid's eyes are tight. Human-like dogs. Who is it? Dare to talk to Lao Tzu like this. Even if he has served the emperor for many years, Gonggong Cao. In front of Lao Tzu, he also accompanied a smiling face. Later, I went to ask Gonggong Cao. Flatten this half-male and female dog thing, and by the way, check whether this dog thing is castrated clean. If you don't castrate, castrate again......
"Your Majesty. Weichen is really not the material to lead the troops. In case you don't take care of your subordinates. They got into trouble outside. Isn't Weichen going to help them carry the black pot? You know it. Wechen has always let others carry it for me...... Uh, Weichen obeyed. Weichen Xie Huangen - "Seeing the emperor's black face." was on the verge of an outburst, and after that, Zheng wisely chose to lead the order and thank you. it. Go back and plead with the emperor again.
The emperor's face softened slightly. Wei glanced at the ministers. He said in a deep voice: "I still have a holy decree. I want to set up another institution in the DPRK. The Metropolitan Procuratorate. Responsible for supervising hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China. Dense fold monograph. In the event of an emergency of rebellion, the Metropolitan Court has the right to arbitrarily decide on the matter. I also entrusted Fang Zheng with responsibility. β
As soon as this statement came out. There was another uproar among the ministers. The emperor's trust in Fang Zheng is really too much, supervising hundreds of officials. He was also arbitrary and led the capital garrison general
It is equivalent to the emperor completely putting the safety of the capital and the future of hundreds of officials in charge. Pan Shangshu's rebellion has not yet subsided. Isn't the emperor afraid that Fang Zheng will become the second Pan Shangshu to cover the sky with one hand? The ministers thought a lot. The emperor has a few more rewards. Feng Qiudao, who betrayed this time. Han Dashi was made a marquis. and gave the forbidden palace to ride horses. Still leading the way in each other. Even Fang Zheng's father, Master Fang. is also meritorious because of the escort. He was named the founding father. Mrs. Fang was named Mrs. Five-Rank Life. The glory of the Fang family was pushed to the extreme on this day.
And His Royal Highness the fat man Fu Wang, who recommended Fang Zhenggong at the beginning. It was also sealed. Because he is already a prince. It's the emperor's son again. Titles can no longer be sealed. So the emperor rewarded him with a lot of money. and increased the number of households by 2,000. What's even more interesting is that. His Royal Highness the Emperor appointed His Royal Highness King to serve in the Ministry of Officials. Participate in political affairs.
As everyone knows. The laws of the Chinese Dynasty stipulate. Among the princes. Except for the crown prince. No prince should interfere in political affairs. In case they will seize power in the future. led to the tragedy of fratricide with the crown prince. And the emperor's holy decree today. It is tantamount to abolishing this law. There is even a deeper meaning......
If on weekdays. Naturally, the ministers would rise up against it. But today is different. The ministers know. Today is the day they were cleansed. Up to half of the officials are worried about the head around their neck. How can they pay attention to this purpose that has nothing to do with them? So after this decree was announced. Unprecedentedly, no one went out of class.
Some people are happy, and some people are sad. After being rewarded with meritorious service. Little Yellow Door handed over a thin booklet. The emperor didn't even look at it. called Fang Zheng closer. said lightly: "Now you supervise hundreds of officials." It's listed in this booklet. They are all officials who are dependent on Pan Rebellious. You take care of it. β
Fang Zheng paused for a moment. Look at this thin booklet. I was curious about the emperor again.
"What does the emperor mean?"
"Arrest first and then interrogate."
Take the booklet. Turning to look at the different ministers in the Golden Palace. Fang Zheng felt a little embarrassed. Actually, he knows it. This is an opportunity for the emperor to give him a chance to establish his prestige in front of hundreds of officials. But the other young master is used to making tricks behind others' backs. If he wants to arrest people with swords and guns in front of everyone. He couldn't help but feel a little weak......
"Ahem, cough ......" dry cough echoed in the quiet Dazhong. Fang Zheng smiled at the ministers and said, "Colleagues. The subordinate officials acted on orders. We look forward to your understanding. We've been in the same palace for so long. Actually, I'm quite embarrassed. It's a big deal. And the impact is just too bad. This is completely different from the nature of borrowing money and not paying it back. Frankly. If you really borrow money from me, you will not pay it back. I still...... I'm really going to get you...... In the future, you will be retribution. There is revenge. If there is no grievance or hatred, don't delay. Hurry up and reincarnate ......"
"Fang Zheng! Are you talking nonsense? Don't get started yet! The emperor said angrily behind him.
"Yes. Cough. Fang Zheng cleared Qingzi. Outside the hall, he shouted: "Long Wujun listens to the order!" β
The soldiers standing outside roared in unison: "Here!" β
The ministers standing in the hall trembled. Many of them have collapsed limply. The face is iron and gray. It already looks like a dead man. Go without saying. These officials, of course, are the backbone of the Pan Party. They said. This time it is already doomed.
Fang Zheng slowly unfolded the booklet in his hand. Loud voice: "Whose name did I pronounce?" Take him into custody. Those who dare to resist are thrown into the prison. Just kill! β
"Yes!"
"The left squire of the ministry. Jiang Zhongcheng. Scratch! β
"Overseeing the Imperial History. Wu Qian. Scratch! β
"The right attendant of the ministry. Zhou Zhongqian. Scratch! β
"The right attendant of the Criminal Department. Lu Wenda. Scratch! β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
The ministers in the court were all trembling with fear. The face is pale. Purple lips. Frightened, he stared at Fang Zheng, who was still reciting his name. and behind Fang Zheng. The corners of his mouth pursed - glancing at their emperor. Seeing one colleague after another. He didn't even dare to say a word of begging for mercy, so he was taken down in despair. This kind of huge psychological pressure is unbearable for a group of people who have been officials for more than ten or even decades.
Until Fang Zheng finished reading. The number of ministers in the interior has been reduced by half. The remaining ministers. Some have a clear conscience. The complexion is as usual. Some of them were full of joy. sighed that he had escaped death. Others are apprehensive. Get icebergs down one's back.
Fang Zheng put the booklet away. A look up. I saw that half of the people in the main hall were missing. I couldn't help but be a little surprised: "! That's so much less. Do not be afraid. It's like doing a big house cleaning. Who doesn't have a few bed bugs and cobwebs? After cleaning. Doesn't it look much more refreshing? In the future, you don't have to stand so crowded......"
"Humph!" The emperor behind Fang Zheng stood up with an angry face. Slap the armrest of the dragon chair hard. Gloomy said: "This group is defeated! I treat them as a national soldier. But they repaid me with swords! It's just ungrateful! Fang Aiqing. I order you to interrogate him quickly. This man is all over the house! And Pan Yin. I'm going to punish him for the Nine Clans! The ministers all fell to their knees in the thunderous wrath of the emperor. said in unison: "The emperor is angry......"
"Your Majesty. The emperor ......, "Fang Zheng, who was closest to the emperor, quietly squeezed his eyes at him.
"What?" The emperor glared at him angrily.
"Your Majesty. You forgot one thing. Wechen doesn't remind you ......"
"What forgot?"
Fang Zheng's eyes lit up. There seemed to be ten thousand golden lights in his eyes. It's hard to look at.
Fang Zheng put on a smile on his face. In a flattering voice. A flattering smile: "Your Majesty." Raid the house. Raid their homes. He was very good at this difficult job. Pledge never to embezzle ......"
"You...... You ......," the emperor pointed angrily at Fang Zheng. I don't know how to scold: "...... That's right. You're simply the most shameless bastard! Get out of here! β¦β¦ Hurry up! β
