"You said that girl named Yanran is your concubine?" Mr. Fang asked with a calm expression.

Fang Zheng carefully observed his father's face and smiled and said, "Yes, Dad, I've actually been taking it for a long time, for several months..."

Mr. Fang sneered: "You have hidden it very tightly. In addition to her, how many concubines have you taken?"

Fang Zheng quickly said, "No more, dad, this room, hehe, there is no other purpose. When the child is busy with official business, she can help me grind ink and add fragrance..."

Mr. Fang said slowly: "What do you mean is that you want to bring this girl into the mansion?"

Mr. Fang had no expression on his face, and Fang Zheng could not see any attitude from his face.

"Uh, yes, it's not a big deal for the child to keep her living outside alone. Besides, if she enters the door, wouldn't your elders have a daughter-in-law to respect?" Fang Zheng said nervously.

Mr. Fang frowned and stared at him for a moment, making Fang Zheng feel irritated. Dad wouldn't he object?

After a while, Mr. Fang said, "Zheng'er, you are old now. You can make decisions on some things yourself, and don't care too much about other people's opinions. You must always remember that you are the official of the court. Since you have become an official, you can't just stumble. You have to do something for the court and the people. Now you are deeply favored by the emperor and it is time to show your ambitions. You must cherish your current position..."

Fang Zheng was stunned when he heard this. What was his father talking about? I was talking about Yanran, why did he get involved with the people of the court? Could it be that I learned from me to talk about him?

Mr. Fang continued: "...I don't understand the great affairs of the court, but I know that the principles of governance and business are the same. First of all, you have to have your own opinions, and then take advantage of the situation to do things. If you are not, you will change. The most important thing is that you have to let the emperor, the officials of the court, and the people of the world hear your voice. Do you understand?"

Fang Zheng nodded in a vague way. Master Fang glanced at him and sighed, "Now you don't even dare to make decisions about your own family affairs, how can you talk about working for the court and benefiting the people?"

Fang Zheng now understood, and his father was telling himself to have his own opinions.

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Dad, don't you respect you? Who said you are my father? My daughter-in-law has to ask for your two elders' opinions first when entering the house, right? As the saying goes, if there is an old family, if there is a treasure, you and your mother are two treasures. The child is rich..."

Mr. Fang frowned: "Why do I hear this so awkward?"

Fang Zheng quickly smiled and said, "It's not awkward, it's a praising you... Anyway, I'll just listen to it as praising you."

Mr. Fang glared at him: "I heard that Miss Yanran was born in a brothel?"

Fang Zheng's heart hangs, and he said carefully: "Yes, but she is as handsome as a jade when she is in the brothel, and she is innocent and innocent. This child can guarantee..."

Mr. Fang shook his head and said, "You told me that these are useless. I have been traveling around the world for many years. I have asked myself that I am not a pedantic person and that I don't care. But it may take a lot of trouble to your mother. She will never agree to the lintel of our family."

Fang Zheng was shocked and then cried bitterly, "Dad, you have to help the child. The Fang family is the only child. The child shoulders the historical mission of inheriting the family lineage and spreading branches and leaves for the Fang family. It doesn't matter if he doesn't become a stallion. The child finally fell in love with a woman. You can't let her not even get in the door, right? Your and your mother's wish to hold a grandson has become a vague one? The widow died and her son was hopeless..."

Master Fang was so amused and laughed and said, "What a mess you are like! Didn't I say that? I don't object to this matter. Put away your set and act in front of your mother."

Fang Zheng wiped his nose, patted his clothes as if nothing had happened, and said calmly: "I know, I'm just a preview in front of you to see how the audience reacts."

Mr. Fang looked at the uncontrollable son in shock, then shook his head and sighed: "How could I give birth to... Oh, go out, don't wander in front of me, you'll be upset when you see you, go quickly..."

Mr. Fang turned his head, waved his hand, and drove Fang Zheng out of the door like a fly.

The negotiations between the Hua Dynasty and the Turks were temporarily suspended because they were about to get a knife in the butt. The two Turkic envoys each waited for notice from the Hua Dynasty in the inn.

The next evening, Eunuch Cao, who had not seen for a long time, came to Fang Mansion. He followed the emperor's oral order and Xuan Fangzheng went to the palace to meet him.

"Long live my emperor--" After entering the imperial study room, Fang Zheng bowed without saying a word.

"Haha, okay, don't pretend, get up." The emperor seemed in a good mood.

"Come here, give a seat to Fang Aiqing." The emperor was very polite today.

Fang Zheng smiled dryly and said, "Your Majesty, don't be polite, Weichen stands..."

The emperor was a little surprised and said, "You have changed your sexual desire today? You don't have such rules in front of me on weekdays."

Fang Zheng said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, you are not so polite on weekdays. Aren't you making things difficult for Weichen? Weichen... I'm hitting the knife..." As he said that, he pointed to his butt pitifully and emphasized: "... Weichen was injured for the country."

The emperor was stunned and then laughed: "I have ignored this. Haha, then you can stand."

Fang Zheng felt hatred in his heart. If you want to be polite, you would like to express your feelings. Just give me a seat? You have to pay tens of thousands of taels of medical expenses to express your condolences.

There was no nonsense between the king and his ministers, and the emperor said straight to the point: "I have summoned you to ask you, do you know who the assassin is?"

Fang Zheng shook his head: "I don't know that the assassin has been killed on the spot and has not left his mouth alive. According to the prefect of Jinling, the assassin has nothing special on his body, and even the weapons he uses are common, so there is no way to check it."

The emperor frowned and said, "Now all the civil and military officials in the court are speculating behind their backs, saying that it was instructed by Shangshu Pan, but according to my opinion, it may not be..."

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "The emperor is wise, and Weichen thinks so too. Shangshu Pan is always treacherous and sloppy... Uh, he is scheming and scheming, and he should not use such a foolish move. All the civil and military officials in the court know that Weichen is not in the way of dealing with him. How dare he blatantly instruct the assassin to assassin to assassin? Then he is too arrogant. According to Weichen, there are other people in the instructor."

The emperor glanced at Fang Zheng and sighed, "No matter who the instructor is, you have to be careful. Yesterday, Mi'er entered the palace to play tricks on me and said that the court was too dangerous and asked me to let you resign, but I didn't agree. Do you know why I didn't agree?"

Fang Zheng said proudly: "It must be because the emperor thinks that the ministers are loyal to each other. Loyal ministers must be loyal to the country and cannot hide at home and enjoy happiness..."

The emperor smiled and said, "I can't see where you are loyal, but you are extremely thick-skinned."

"I didn't agree to Mi'er because I need you, and I want to use you more." The emperor stared at Fang Zheng and said word by word.

Fang Zheng was stunned. What does this mean? In terms of talent in governing the country and political skills, Fang Zheng felt that he could not compare with the old men in the court. The emperor had so many people left without using them, so why did he have to use me?

As if seeing through Fang Zheng's thoughts, the emperor said in a deep voice: "There are more than 100 civil and military ministers standing in the court every day. I know clearly who is loyal and treacherous, who is clear and greedy. To be honest, you are a slippery person, you are skilled and skilled, profit-oriented, tricky and weird, despicable and treacherous, ignorant and shameless..."

The more Fang Zheng listened, the less he felt. According to these comments from the emperor, he was just the kind of evil person who was not wronged to pull him out and chop his head a hundred times. Am I that bad? I don’t scold people like this.

Fang Zheng quickly interrupted the emperor and smiled and said, "Emperor, Your Majesty!... Be careful, you can skip the words of Weichen to evaluate Weichen and talk about what comes later. Weichen listens carefully..."

The emperor smiled and looked at him: "It seems that I was wrong. You are not shameless. You are ashamed, you are very ashamed, haha."

"...I only have a reason to use you among so many ministers. Remember what I said to you last time? I said that you are private but do not form a clique, have no foundation in the court, are alone, are alone, and are from a civilian family, not a prominent family, and need someone like you to help me."

"The civil and military officials in the court, whether loyal or traitorous, are just cliques one by one. Those so-called loyal ministers who claim to be pure and live together, fight with the traitorous ministers in the court. Hum, loyal ministers! In my eyes, if they form cliques, they cannot be considered loyal ministers. If they fight, they will cause disaster and destroy the country! I value you because you have not wade into this dirty muddy water. Do you understand what I mean?"

Fang Zheng shook his head, he really didn't understand.

"Your Majesty, your words are very profound, hehe, very profound. The emperor is the emperor. His knowledge of speaking is indeed profound and unpredictable. I really admire him..." Fang Zheng's mind was running rapidly, thinking about the meaning of the emperor's words, and flattering him. It's a pity that the flattery was really irrelevant and had a low value.

The emperor shook his head helplessly and smiled, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, and I don't force it. This assassination you encountered reminded me. Now it's time to give you something to do. Always be such a idle little official, and the white-collar worker's salary is not enough. I don't allow my ministers to eat and not work, haha."

Fang Zheng quickly reminded: "Your Majesty, I am not having a good meal. I am working for you now for free. Last time, I beat Pan Shangshu's son and you fined Weichen for half a year. Have you forgotten?"

The emperor glared at him, ignored him, and then said, "Fang Zheng, after negotiations with the Turks, I will give you an errand. You have to do it well for me and do it with your heart. If you are as nonsense as before, I will no longer see Mi'er's face. I will never show mercy to beat me or kill me!"

Fang Zheng said yes with sternness.

"When it comes to Mi'er, I think you can prepare for the matter between you." The emperor looked at Fang Zheng meaningfully and said, "If you become your own family in the future, you will be more attentive when you do it, right?"
