Fang Zheng withdrew from the imperial study room, looked at the emperor's face, and wanted to speak but stopped.

He wanted to ask, I wonder if the prince had participated in this rebellion. After all, Shangshu Pan is the prince's teacher. According to convention, both the master and the apprentice were wearing the same pair of pants. Shangshu Pan was playing with fire, so is the prince innocent?

After thinking about it, he still didn't ask. In addition to not being willing to involve too much in the royal dispute, he also felt that the emperor had been a little exhausted by the betrayal of his ministers, and Fang Zheng did not want him to think that he was a failed father anymore.

Walking out of the palace gate, Fang Zheng stretched his waist. The autumn was clear and the weather was very good. But he felt like a big rock in his heart. Rebellion, mutiny, usurpation of the throne, these bloody plots that could only be seen in previous novels and TV were actually encountered by himself, and he was trapped in it. It was really a fate to make people feel good.

From this point of view, feudal dictatorship still has many disadvantages. Everyone coveted the throne that responded to the world with one call. If a constitutional monarchy like the Western countries, no matter who is the emperor, no matter who is the emperor, he has no power in his hands, and can only eat, drink, have fun, and do charity at the cheering crowd. Even if such an emperor is given to Pan Shangshu, he probably won’t do it? Not only will he refuse to do it, he may also resist the death, holding a brick to his head, "Whoever wants me to be the emperor, I will let you see what stuffing is inside!"

After all, power is harmful to others.

There may be turmoil in the capital recently. Fang Zheng wondered whether he should send his parents out of the capital to avoid it? This cannot be blamed on himself. The country belongs to everyone, the family belongs to his own, and protecting the safety of his family is his responsibility.

Later, I thought about it and let it go. I don’t know which army outside the capital will be rebelled one day. Then it may be even more chaotic outside the capital. No matter how you are the richest man in the Chinese Dynasty, when facing a disaster, it is no different from ordinary people. Besides, the emperor issued an order to get married next month. The Fang Mansion is preparing for a big show. How could parents leave?

In the next half month, Fang Zheng fell into a busy situation. In addition to analyzing the information sent from various places, he also took into account the training of newcomers in the shadow camp.

The Killer Brother is very competent in his instructor job. Among all the training courses, the lessons he taught are the hardest, and it is the only course in which there is a loss of staff. Several students who think they are very skilled and brave, after the Killer Brother taught a little bit of the skill of flying knives, they didn't know how to be tall and strong. They thought they had inherited the true teachings of the Killer Brother's mandarin and wanted to challenge the difficult movements, so they shot the Killer with their eyes blindfolded.

It was obvious that after accidentally injured the thighs of several students watching the fun, these brave students were beaten up by the killer brother and locked up in confinement.

The old members of the shadow were sent out to carry out the mission, and there was constant information coming. The armies outside the capital were not moving at all, and they were still training, eating, sleeping, and not having a tense atmosphere of war. Fang Zheng couldn't help but wonder, when was the old man Pan Shangshu going to start a crime? He couldn't live for a few days at this age. If he didn't hurry up, he would wait for the coffin, who would he do to rebel?

Half a month passed in a flash, and soon the ninth day of the lunar month was coming. The flower viewing ceremony held by the prince began with the expectations of many officials and celebrities.

The reason why the flower viewing party is so valued by everyone is not only the organizer of the future crown prince, but also because it is a place for literati and scholars to gather. Whenever a literati gathers, they are inevitably chanting poems and writing elegance. If their poems are well written, they are likely to be respected by the prince. The prince will recommend it to the emperor in the name of talent, bypassing the cruel competition of the imperial examination and becoming an official easily. Therefore, many talented men who are quite famous among the people, but always fail in the imperial examination can be said to be rushing to the flower viewing party, and they want to enter but cannot be obtained.

The flower viewing ceremony was held in Yihong Garden in the suburbs of the capital. Yihong Garden was a villa of an official in the previous dynasty, but was later bought by the prince for a large sum of money. The garden is planted with rare flowers from all over the country, from ordinary orchids, chrysanthemums, and precious phalaenopsis, literary orchids, geese, etc. The autumn festival, the osmanthus fragrance in the garden is colorful, and the scenery is charming.

Outside the garden gate, there are guards from the Prince's Mansion guarding them layer by layer, and those without invitations are not allowed to enter.

The invited people came together early in the morning, and luxury carriages, swaying in the fragrance of flowers on the ground, slowly entered the garden. Everyone laughed, greeted and held courtesy, and were graceful. There were also the ladies and ladies from the wealthy family who took advantage of this rare opportunity to go out, gathered in groups of unobtrusive corners, whispered and laughed in a gentle manner.

Everything seems so relaxed and happy, as if it is in the painting.

Not far outside the garden gate, there is a disharmonious scene.

A young man in gorgeous clothes with a thief-headed and smirk was walking back and forth among the crowd attending the meeting.

"Oh! Isn't this Zhang Manager Zhang's? You're really here? Alas, it's really boring to appreciate the flowers. Otherwise, you can transfer the invitation to me if you go back?"

"Why? Didn't this be sold to me for 5,000 taels of silver?" Zhang Manager Zhang was displeased.

"There are some dandy guys who are romantic and romantic. We are all from businessmen. Do you think it's interesting to get the bunch of people?"

"I don't care whether it's interesting or not. I'm here to discuss business. Maybe a rich young man thinks that my shop in the south of the city has a future and is willing to pay money to do business together."

"Okay, go in quickly..."

"Oh! Isn't this Boss Zhou? Why are you here in person? I advise you to go back quickly. This flower appreciation will be boring. I invite you to Yicuilou tonight to have a drink of flower wine. - Are you sending me the invitation?"

"Why? Didn't this be sold to me? It cost me five thousand taels."

"Can you buy it back?"

"Okay, you pay ten thousand taels and I'll sell it to you."

The young man was startled: "Why don't you go and grab it? It doubled in just a few days. Are you crazy about money?"

"This is the moment, and that is the moment. Do you want it? If you don't want it, I'll go in." After saying that, Boss Zhou shook his sleeves and left without looking back.

"Brave businessman! Shameless!" The young man cursed fiercely behind his back.

There is no doubt that this young man is Master Fang Zheng.

As for why he jumped up and down the world to buy invitations outside the garden gate, the reason is very simple. The sequelae left behind when selling invitations with the little princess that day - he sold his invitations too. He was just a fifth-rank idle official, and he was not as arrogant as to dare to release His Royal Highness the Prince's pigeon, so he had the current dilemma of looking for his door but not being able to enter.

While lamenting why there are many more unscrupulous businessmen in this world than good people, a familiar figure comes into his eyes.

Xiao Huaiyuan!

Why did this kid come too? Later, when I thought about it, I felt relieved. It was very reasonable and logical for this kid to appear here.

"Hey! Brother Xiao! Long time no see, how are you?" Fang Zheng waved his hand happily and shouted, regardless of the side look of the literati and scholars passing by.

Xiao Huaiyuan stood at the door to welcome the guests, and was stunned when he heard the shout. The voice was so familiar that he could not forget it even if he wanted to.

But he still pretended not to hear, and didn't even look back.

However, he still underestimated Fang Zheng's determination to make friends with his acquaintances.

Fang Zheng still shouted without hesitation: "Brother Xiao! Xiao Huaiyuan! It's me, your closest good friend, your loyal brother, Fang Zheng! Why do you ignore me?"

Xiao Huaiyuan heard the teeth sore, and was determined to walk into the garden as if nothing had happened to avoid the harassment of the plague god. The guard standing at the gate of the garden could not listen and couldn't help but persuade: "Mr. Xiao, your friend has been calling for a long time. Why don't you go up and recognize him? This... the people who come and go are all literati and yell, and it's too unconventional to shout. I'm afraid that the prince will blame him..."

Xiao Huaiyuan raised his head, sighed heavily, walked slowly to Fang Zheng with a stern face, and said coldly: "Okay, stop calling."

Seeing that he was finally willing to come out to recognize each other, Fang Zheng said dissatisfiedly: "Why is the young man who is so young? Didn't you hear me calling you so many times?"

"...What do you want to do?" Xiao Huaiyuan really had no choice but to do anything to him.

"Nonsense, I'm going to go in."

"Don't you have an invitation? It's amazing to go in directly, why are you screaming outside?"

"Haha, there was an invitation, but I am too generous. I gave one to you and one to you, and it was gone."

"To put it nicely, did you sell it?" Xiao Huaiyuan hummed in dissatisfaction. When he thought of Fang Zheng robbing his invitation, he became angry. He originally wanted to sell a few of them himself, but he was snatched all of them by Fang Zheng.

"Hehe, it's all the same. I happened to see you, good brother! I have this life, but no next life. Come on, take me in."

"No! I'll find a way to go." Xiao Huaiyuan turned around and left.

"If you don't take me in, I will go home. When the prince asks, I will tell him that no one has ever invited me, and I don't know if there is a flower viewing meeting..."

Xiao Huaiyuan stopped and sighed to the sky: "...How could I know you!"

In this way, Fang Zhengshun was successfully brought into the garden gate by Xiao Huaiyuan.

"Don't be flirting with your face, it's so ugly. Your image represents the prince's mansion. Come on, smile..." Fang Zheng enlightened him along the way.

When passing by the entrance of the garden, Fang Zheng heard the conversation between the guards guarding the door.

"...It's strange, many new faces came today."

"What kind of face?"

"It seems that there are many shopkeepers of large shops in the capital. Strangely, how could His Royal Highness invite them? This is the place for literary people to gather."

"Have you carefully checked their invitations?"

"I checked it, the invitation is real."

"That's all right, no matter what, as long as the invitation is real, we will not be responsible."

After hearing this, Fang Zheng smiled secretly and looked up, but saw Xiao Huaiyuan glaring at him fiercely.

After slapping a silver note in Xiao Huaiyuan's hand, Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, don't look at me with that look, it's awkward. This is the dividend for you. Let's clear up this matter. You go and do it, don't hello me..."

Fang Zheng waved his sleeves and walked away gracefully.

Xiao Huaiyuan opened it and couldn't help but get angry: "One hundred taels? This bastard! Are you trying to send the beggar?"

The flowers in Yihong Garden are the most famous in the capital. Because they are guarded by the Prince's Mansion all year round, ordinary families have no chance to see these precious flowers that are competing for beauty. Today, the Prince invites guests widely, which surprises the ladies and ladies. So women are everywhere in the garden, laughing and fighting, admiring and wondering. The beakers and swallows are fat and thin, adding a refreshing fragrance to the already colorful garden.

As soon as Fang Zheng stepped into the garden, he saw an extremely bloated and obese figure, like a butterfly with overnutrition, running through a group of ladies and ladies.

"Ah, this lady, this flower is called lily. It means a hundred years of harmony. Plant it at home, and it is a sign of good luck. The lady may soon meet a gentle and dashing man like me..."

"Ah! Really? I... I'm not married yet..." The lady looked extremely shy.

"Is that so? It's good to have not been married yet. Haha, I'm not talented. I'd like to find a secluded place and tell the lady in detail the tips for planting this lily..."

Fang Zheng laughed, this fat man, his skills in picking up girls are so poor, he is still a romantic figure who lingers in brothels every day, why hasn't he made some progress?

He quietly walked behind the fat man and patted his shoulder hard. Fang Zheng deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Boy, don't have any life? How dare you seduce my wife?"

The fat man was shocked and didn't even look back. He subconsciously held his head with both hands and said tremblingly: "... This brother, I misunderstood, I misunderstood!"

Huh! The movements are quite skillful. It seems that this fat man has been hooking up with married women, and he must have eaten a lot of them.

The teased lady actually looked very ordinary, and her face was dotted with freckles and pockmarks. After hearing Fang Zheng say this, she couldn't help but blush with shame. She stomped her feet hard and said, "Bah! Who is your wife? Shameless!" After that, she covered her face and ran away quickly.

The fat man quickly turned around and saw that it was Fang Zheng. He was stunned and furious: "I said, are you kids wrong? I haven't seen you for so long, and I didn't say that I came to see me. As soon as I met, I scared away the beauty I finally fell in love with..."

After saying that, the fat man looked at the lady who was flying away with reluctance, and still smacked his lips with unsatisfactory feelings.

Fang Zheng curled his lips and said, "Come on, what's your vision? You can call a beauty with a silly look? The beauty's mole on his face, the sand covered with cemetery, bumpy pits, bumpy bumps, and even a basin of water splashed on his face. - I said, fat man, you are a prince after all, why aren't you picky about food?"

The fat man suffocated when he heard this, then straightened his chest and said, "I just like pockmarks, I just like women who look very layered. What's wrong? Isn't it okay?"

Fang Zheng advised with great painstakingly: "Don't be unable to get along with yourself. Your heart is already a problem. If you wake up in the middle of the night and open your eyes and find a numb face lying beside you, you can't bear the stimulation and are scared to the point of blood flowing backwards. What should you do if you kick your legs? Go back and sue the girl for murder. Aren't you harming her? "

The fat man smiled bitterly and said, "You... your mouth is too poisonous..."

Fang Zheng patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "I have to cultivate your aesthetics well. If this continues, your son and grandson will only look ugly one generation after another in the future. It will make you feel sad if you think about it."

The fat man joked with him for a few words, then pulled Fang Zheng to a corner where no one was around, looked around, and whispered: "Hey, Brother Fang, I don't know if it's my illusion. I always feel that the atmosphere in the capital in recent days is a bit wrong..."

Fang Zheng blinked: "Why is something wrong?"

"I can't say it either. In fact, everything is the same as usual, and I can't see any changes. But I always feel so upset, just like the dull feeling before the heavy rain, I feel a little overwhelmed... You are talking to me to the official, tell me, is there something big going on recently?" The fat man's face looked a little ugly.

Fang Zheng looked at the fat man with a smile. He was his friend in trouble. He passed by the window together, carried guns together, and visited brothels together. He and the fat man seemed to have all possessed all the men's iron. Fortunately, the fat man was just a idle prince who could not interfere in political affairs, so he was excluded from the treacherous court. But if one day, the emperor died in old age and the prince ascended the throne, could the fat man, still be so carefree? You know, he had always had a bad relationship with the prince. With his character, can he tolerate this half-brother?

How great would it be if the fat man became the prince.

Fang Zheng was shocked, why did he think so? Is it a bit ruthless? But then again, as the emperor's biological son, has the fat man really never thought about fighting with the prince? Could it be that he is willing to be the prince of Xiaoyao for the rest of his life? Without a long-term plan, he will have immediate worries. Did he never think about himself, what would be waiting for him if the prince ascended the throne?

"Fatty, have you ever thought about it..." Fang Zheng changed his mind as soon as he spoke. Now is not a good time to talk about this topic. At least he has to wait until Pan Shangshu falls.

The fat man looked at him with a question mark: "What have you ever thought about?"

Fang Zheng changed the topic and said, "...In fact, the emperor is not in a good mood these days. If you are fine, go to the palace to talk to him more often. Don't be afraid. What's the point of being afraid of by your father? In addition to being the co-lord of the world, he is actually a lonely old man and needs his children to accompany him..."

The fat man looked at him with a serious expression, nodded vigorously, and a little clear-headed glanced across his eyes.

He smiled and patted the fat man on the shoulder, Fang Zheng said, "Don't make it so heavy. We are here to play today, don't waste the great time picking up girls..."

The fat man smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I also want to see Brother Fang use his unique skills to pick up girls. I will learn a few tricks..."

So among the ladies and ladies with flowers and green willows, there were two busy butterflies.

"Oh, this sister is so beautiful, so there is no need to come out to appreciate the flowers. As soon as her sister appears, the flowers in the garden are overshadowed. This is my sister's sin..."

"Huh? This sister's slender hands are so delicate and slender. I'm the only one I have seen in my life. I have a little research on the fortune telling of the Book of Changes. I don't know if I want to let me see your palms... Wow! My sister's hands are so soft! I'm really lucky to touch them. I don't know how old my sister is and where I live? Let's leave a contact information..."

“…………”

“…………”

The fat man looked at Fang Zheng in amazement, and admired him very much. Brother Fang is worthy of being the pioneer in the romantic formation. It is indeed well-known. If he had the three successes of his ability, why would he not even be able to get a girl with a pockmarked face?

While Fang Zheng was swimming happily in the pile of powder, a middle-aged scholar separated the ladies and bowed to Fang Zheng and smiled: "I am so rude. I wonder if you are loyal and brave, Lord Fang?"

Fang Zheng was stunned and nodded, "That's right, may I ask you..."

The scholar smiled, his every move was a bit elegant: "I am the next surname Fan and Rui, and I am a small deacon beside His Highness. At the order of His Highness, I invite Mr. Fang to enter the Xiancai Pavilion for a lecture, and also ask Mr. Fang to admire the glory."

Fang Zheng blinked, then reluctantly looked at the Yingying and Yanyan around him, saying, "...But, I'm a little busy now..."

It was time to pick up girls at a critical moment. Several ladies were almost giving their close-fitting handkerchiefs to Fang Zheng as a token of love. Now the prince came out to make trouble. Isn’t this awkward thing?

Fan Rui was suffocated when he heard this and couldn't help but feel a little angry. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited him alone. How could this person be so ungrateful?

If this person hadn't been too important to the prince, Fan Rui really wanted to leave on the spot.

Fang Zheng observed his expression and immediately laughed: "Mr. Fan, don't be surprised. I was just kidding. Your Highness summoned him to the emperor. How dare I not go? Haha, let's leave now."

As he said that, he turned around and waved his hands to the ladies reluctantly, shouting as he walked: "Sisters, wait for me here, I'll be back soon. Oh, sister, your handkerchief is very beautiful, keep it for me. Don't give it to other stinky men, especially don't give it to the fat man next to you. That guy is not as good as me..."

The voice gradually drifted away until it disappeared, leaving only the fat man with black lines and the giggling ladies.
Chapter completed!
