Chapter 50: I'll tell you a story

Every word on the fold was deeply imprinted in Fang Xizhi's mind, he only felt that the blood was surging, his head was very dizzy, biting the tip of his tongue, Fang Xizhi's brain was slightly clearer.

Turning around, he looked at Li Hong, and said in a hoarse voice, "Why?"

"For the sake of a public heart!" Li Hong looked at Wang Mang with a righteous face, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister did not hesitate to expose his own ugliness today, just for the sake of my great Qin's eternal stability!"

Wang Mang looked at Li Hong with some amusement, Li Hong is very knowledgeable, and he is doing better than he thought, he not only played the things that he gave him the day before yesterday, but also played the things that the household department had to get some charms and ghosts, this is for fear that he will miss the blow, and he wants to completely kill Fang Xizhi.

People in the capital say that the household is the left waiter Fang Xizhi has the final say, but now, Li Hong is more like a crouching tiger, usually smiling and grinning, but once the crouching tiger wakes up, its teeth and claws are really not to be underestimated.

Fang Xizhi looked at Wang Mang with an unwilling face, kowtowed, and said: "Your Majesty, since Weichen took office, he has always been loyal to state affairs, loyal to His Majesty, diligent, and does not dare to slack off.

Saying a word, Fang Xizhi kowtowed to Wang Mang once, and when he finished speaking, Fang Xizhi's entire forehead was already blood-red.

If it weren't for Wang Mang seeing Fang Qiu's arrogant appearance and investigating some of Fang Xizhi's lawlessness, but looking at Fang Xizhi's current appearance, he would definitely not think that this person was a great evil.

Sighing, Wang Mang said, "I'll tell you a story." ”

The hundred officials were stunned again, what the hell is Your Majesty, at such a serious moment, he actually wants to tell a story, many officials want to rush forward to question, but in the end they all arched their hands and said: "Ministers listen to the holy teachings!"

"There is a son, we call him Zhao Gongzi, he met another noble son when he was shopping, this son called him Li Gongzi, Zhao Gongzi may be a little disrespectful in his words, Li Gongzi scolded him, and ordered people to beat Zhao Gongzi, and even shouted to kill him, what do you think is the reason?" Wang Mang looked at Fang Xizhi and said, "Lord Fang, you can talk about it?"

Weichen felt that this Li Gongzi was wrong, he shouldn't have beaten and scolded or even killed people for a trivial matter. Fang Xizhi didn't understand that the emperor didn't pursue his affairs, what he did if he had nothing to tell the story, with many years of experience as an official, he felt that the emperor had something to say, but he didn't know what he wanted to do, so he could only leave a little room and continued: "But if Gongzi Li is more noble than Gongzi Zhao, and Gongzi Zhao is too disrespectful to speak, then it is normal to scold." ”

"Oh. Wang Mang nodded, and didn't ask anyone else, so he continued: "At this time, another prince appeared, he has a high status and strong strength, he came forward to mediate and scolded Li Gongzi, Zhao and Li Gongzi separated, this matter is said to be over, but I didn't think that after a while, the two met again, as soon as Li Gongzi saw Zhao Gongzi, he remembered that he had just lost face in front of everyone, and he beckoned people to go up to beat people to death, but I didn't expect Zhao Gongzi to be an ordinary person, plus the place where the incident happened is relatively special, and someone mediated. ”

Seeing that all the ministers were listening carefully, Wang Mang continued: "But not long after this mediation, Li Gongzi found Zhao Gongzi, and wanted to gamble his arm and life with others, saying that if Zhao Gongzi did not agree to go out of the city gate, then Zhao Gongzi agreed, Li Gongzi came with a master, and he came with an attitude of winning steadily, but unfortunately his strength was enough, his luck was not enough, and he lost!"

"What do you say?" said Wang Mang.

"Willing to gamble and lose. Wang Yongji was the first to shout: "This surnamed Li is too deceitful, he should be taught a lesson who he is and who gave him so much power." ”

"That's what Lord Wang said. Hundreds of officials chimed in.

"What does Master Fang think?" Wang Mang turned his gaze to Fang Xizhi again.

Fang Xizhi frowned and said, "I am willing to gamble and lose, since I have lost, I have to bear the price I should bear." ”

"It seems that all of you are discerning between right and wrong. Wang Mang smiled and said: "Of course, this Zhao Gongzi is going to find Li Gongzi to cash in the bet, but Li Gongzi is unwilling, and in the end he was forced to be anxious, and he actually cut off one of his arms with a knife and said that when he made the bet, he didn't say whose arm he was betting on, what do you think of this Li Gongzi?"

"Kill! How can a general kill a soldier to save his life? The king shouted in Kedah: "If such a man had been under the command of the minister, the minister would have dismantled him to eight pieces and put him in the right military order!"

"Wantonly hurt others, according to the laws of Great Qin, be a soldier and exiled for thousands of miles. Lin Guodong also said at this time.

"This is not the teachings of a saint!" Zhao Xin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has always had a good temper, but he also has an angry face at this moment.

Fang Xizhi didn't wait for Wang Mang to ask, so he spoke directly: "This Li Gongzi is really not a gentleman, and what he does is definitely punishable. ”

"Very well, all of you are very sensible. Wang Mang smiled and said: "This matter is over here, Li Gongzi hurting people is a matter of the government, but I never thought that Zhao Gongzi would go out here, and Li Gongzi would take dozens of masters to surround Zhao Gongzi and take him to an alley, that is to dismantle Zhao Gongzi into eight pieces, at this time, if you are present, what will you do?"

"Kill!" Wang Yongji said angrily: "If you don't kill this son, it's not enough to be angry!"

"Kill!" Lin Guodong said angrily: "If this son doesn't kill, it's not enough to correct the law!"

"Kill!" Zhao Xin also said angrily: "If this son doesn't kill, it's not enough to promote righteousness!"

"Kill!" Fang Xizhi gritted his teeth and said: "If this son is not killed, it is not enough to comfort the people!"

"Everyone said it very well, especially Lord Fang" Wang Mang applauded: "Zhao Gongzi killed Li Gongzi according to what everyone said, but do you know why Zhao Gongzi killed Li Gongzi?"

"Is it because Li Gongzi offended Zhao Gongzi?" said an official who was not long-sighted.

"Wrong. Wang Mang said: "It's because this Li Gongzi usually runs rampant in the township, does all the evil things, robs and kills people, does everyone know why this Li Gongzi is so arrogant?"

Wang Mang looked at Fang Xizhi and said coldly, "Lord Fang, you can answer this question." ”

"This ......" Fang Xizhi's face was pale at the moment, and he couldn't say a word, he had already realized that it was not good.

"That's because he has a good father!" Wang Mang patted the dragon chair and said loudly: "I think that Lord Fang should have a lot of say on this issue, doesn't Lord Fang want to say something?"

"Minister......" Fang Xizhi's whole person suddenly burst into tears.

"Li Lan. Wang Mang shouted, and when he saw Li Lan coming out, he said, "Send the person who Lord Fang is looking for when he digs three feet into the ground to Lord Fang." ”

Li Lan walked to Fang Xizhi with a box in his hand, Fang Xizhi trembled and stretched out his hand to touch the box, then his eyes turned white, and he fainted directly.

"Your Majesty, he's dizzy!" Li Lan looked at Wang Mang.

"What about Jinyiwei?" Wang Mang shouted: "Take people down, order the three divisions to be tried, I want to see how far a household left servant has covered the sky with one hand, and who gave him such courage to act so recklessly!"
