The quarrel in the court continued. While everyone was appreciating Fang Zheng and Jiang Zhongcheng's quarrel, they kept glancing at the emperor. What happened today was extraordinary. None of the ministers came out to stop the quarrel between them because they were constantly working in their minds. They needed time to digest this sudden event.

The emperor, who used to pay the most attention to rules and etiquette in this Golden Palace, was arguing today. Seeing the two of them quarreled like shrews who were buying vegetables in the vegetable market, the emperor had no expression, but just looked at them calmly, with a look in his eyes like a pool of stagnant water, and there was no ripples.

“…………”

"You...you are shameless! You are swearing..." Jiang Zhongcheng was so angry that he stuttered.

"Why am I shameless? You have done so many bad things yourself, and I will be shameless when I say it? Then aren't you more shameless than me?" Fang Zheng completely regained his nature, his nostrils facing the sky, and his sloppy look looked particularly dazzling in the Golden Palace.

"Emperor,... I also sued Jiangzhong Cheng tomb robbers!" Fang Zheng planned to carry out the false accusation to the end. Anyway, after Pan Shangshu fell, this guy would definitely not be able to survive. If he offended him, he would offend him.

As soon as Fang Zheng said this, the civil and military officials in the court were in an uproar. Today's morning court was so lively. Then one after another. Why did Jiang Zhongcheng, the dignified Minister of Personnel, have another charge of tomb robbing? Although they knew that the two were fighting meaningless verbal battles and splashing dirty water on each other, everyone still watched with interest, as if sitting in a teahouse listening to a storytelling and watching a big show.

"You...you fart!" Jiang Zhongcheng was so angry that he spoke without hesitation.

Fang Zheng sneered: "Don't you admit it yet? Humph, do you think I don't know? You buried the chamber pot you used in the ground, poured it manure every day, and digged it out and sold it to others a year later, and insisted that it was a chamber pot used by Qin Shihuang..."

"You..." Jiang Zhongcheng couldn't lift it up in one breath and almost fainted.

After taking a few deep breaths, Jiang Zhongcheng reminded himself not to talk too much to him. This person is a rogue and quarrel with him. He can't take advantage of him.

"Emperor, Fang Zheng is a businessman, is ignorant, acts erratic, is stubborn, has a poor character and is vulgar. I think this person is not qualified to be an official." Jiang Zhongcheng's words resonated with Minister Pan's Party, and many people nodded and agreed.

"Haha, joke! If you say I am not qualified, I am not qualified? Could it be that I have to be an official? As we all know, my official title is a royal title of the emperor. If you say I am not qualified, the implication is that the emperor has no clue to know people? Jiang Zhongcheng! You are so bold! If you don't keep your duty as a minister, you dare to be insinuated by the emperor in front of all civil and military officials. Do you know your guilt?" Fang Zheng said in the end, his voice and expression were harsh.

Jiang Zhongcheng was so scared that his face turned pale. He was already worried when he was usurping the rituals in front of the emperor just now. Now Fang Zheng put the big hat off again, which really made him unable to bear it. Jiang Zhongcheng couldn't help but look up at the emperor's face. Seeing that the emperor was calm, but the eyes when he looked at him were cold. Jiang Zhongcheng was in awe of the heart. Fang Zheng spoke, taking the emperor as a guise and bickering with him, and accidentally said, "Forget it, it's not advisable to bicker with him anymore, otherwise Long Yan would be furious, he, a small minister of the Ministry of Personnel, would be able to afford it."

"Your Majesty, I'm dying!" After all, Jiang Zhongcheng is also an old man who has been in the officialdom for many years. He knew that if he continued to argue with Fang Zheng, maybe the emperor would really attack him, so he immediately withdrew from the quarrel very much.

Fang Zheng glanced coldly for a week and saw that the ministers were looking at him with complicated eyes, some admiration, some hatred, and some ridicule.

Humph, you guys are so angry. As soon as Pan Shangshu falls, at least half of you will lose your head. Let's see who will laugh to the end.

"Mr. Fang, do you have any conclusive evidence for impeaching Shangshu Pan? "A minister slowly walked out of the lienban and asked word by word.

This person's name is Wu Qian, who is the chief censor of the court, and is also a backbone of the Pan Party.

"Evidence? Some are there, some are not, what's wrong?" Fang Zheng looked unreasonable and suffocated Wu Qian for a long time without saying a word.

"Catch the thief and take the dirty, catch the evil and catch the evil. Have you seen the crimes you mentioned with your own eyes?" Wu Qian sneered.

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, I will not agree with the words of the emperor. For example, the emperor teased your daughter..."

Seeing Wu Qian's eyebrows stand up and he was about to get angry, Fang Zheng quickly laughed and said, "A metaphor, the lower official is just a metaphor..."

Wu Qian snorted heavily, brushed his sleeves hard, turned his head and ignored him.

Fang Zheng continued: "...For example, I teased your daughter, - By the way, do you have a daughter?"

Wu Qian was stunned. Before he could react, he nodded subconsciously and said, "...yes." Then he noticed the words, but he had already said that he had to glar at Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "It's good to have a daughter, haha, it's good to have a daughter... For example, I teased your daughter, and then your daughter sued me in court, but she couldn't find any evidence to prove that I teased her. I didn't get the thief and caught the traitor, and I didn't get the double. I dare to ask Lord Wu, is Ling Qianjin considered being teased by me for nothing?"

Fang Zheng said this more viciously, and Wu Qian was speechless and didn't know how to answer.

"Mr. Fang, you have been an official for a long time, and I don't need to say that I must know the laws of the court. If you impeach the ministers of the court without evidence, it is really hard to convince your ministers and colleagues. Lord. Fang, you yourself, you may be charged with the crime of "framing the ministers". The laws of the court are the foundation of governing the country. The prince violates the law and is the same as the common people. The emperor is extremely wise. Even if he favors you, he is afraid that you will not be allowed." Wu Qian sneered.

Huh, this old guy blocked the emperor's mouth with words first. Tsk tsk, his IQ is much higher than Jiang Zhongcheng.

Fang Zheng sneered, "Mr. Wu, since you tell me the court law, I will talk to you carefully. There is a case involving court officials. The Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple should be tried by the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple. After the case is investigated clearly, it will be submitted directly to the emperor for a visit. Lord Wu is the censor and the head of the censor. He has nothing to do with the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple. I want to ask, what qualifications do you have to ask about this case?"

Wu Qian was stunned, Fang Zheng said nothing wrong. The case involving court officials in the Hua Dynasty was indeed as he said, and he, as the censor, could not interfere.

Fang Zheng was unreasonable and looked at Wu Qian with malicious eyes, and said with a smile: "The official impeachment of Pan Shangshu is to be loyal to the emperor and eliminate harm to the people, but the official can't figure it out. Lord Wu couldn't wait to jump out to speak for him. Why did he come from? Could it be that Lord Wu had a close personal relationship with Pan Shangshu and had already secretly communicated with the poem?"

Many ministers in the court squad laughed out loud.

The secret song usually refers to affair between a man and a woman, but Fang Zheng used this word on Wu Qian and Pan Shangshu, which was too dirty.

Wu Qian's face turned pale and a little bit blue. He was ashamed and angry, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Fang Zheng continued: "Shangshu Pan is an important official in the court, and he is powerful. If the subordinate officials do not have evidence, how dare they stroke the tiger's beard lightly? However, although the evidence of the rebellious behavior of Shangshu Pan is in my hands, it is not for you to show it. The subordinate officials must submit it directly to the emperor and ask the emperor to decide."

When the Pan Dangzhong people looked at each other after hearing this, their faces were so gloomy that they didn't say a word.

Fang Zheng, Jiang Zhongcheng and Wu Qian quarreled and quarreled. Unexpectedly, he shot a fake shot and simply stopped arguing with them. He moved out the laws of the Huachao and held them tightly, making everyone unable to speak out. If he forced himself to defend Pan Shangshu at this time, it would be inappropriate, otherwise what would the emperor think of them? Isn’t that the place has no silver here?

Fang Zheng took out a thin notebook from his arms in a serious manner and respectfully handed it to the small yellow door standing under the dragon chair of the Golden Palace, and delivered it directly to the emperor.

Seeing this, the ministers were so upset. They thought Fang Zheng was just making a fuss, but they didn't expect that he actually brought out the so-called evidence. What the ministers are most curious about now is what is written in this thin notebook? Could it be that Pan Shangshu really has the handle to hold it in his hands?

The emperor took the book, glanced a few times, then closed it, sighed heavily, looked into the distance with a distant look, and said in an infinite nostalgic tone: "I have known the old minister for decades. I have been very confident in the old minister's character and virtues. Over the past few decades, regardless of public or private affairs, I have been accustomed to discussing with the old minister. I treat the old minister as both a teacher and a friend, and have a deep personal relationship. I really don't believe in these crimes of Fang Zheng impeaching the old minister. The old minister wanted to resign from his post last time, but I left because I refused to leave him, so I was not sure. Unexpectedly, it was not long after that, but someone impeached him. It was really a disaster..."

The emperor said this, including the people of Pan Dang and all the ministers of the court were moved by the deep friendship between the king and his ministers for decades. The emperor was still nostalgic. Pan Shangshu was able to accompany the emperor for decades and was at the top of his position, fully refuting the saying "Accompanying the king is like a tiger."

Many ministers looked ashamed. Before the morning court, they heard some rumors about the emperor and Shangshu Pan, saying that the emperor was going to deal with Shangshu Pan. They believed it at that time, but now after hearing what the emperor said, they were ashamed of their misconceptions about the rumors.

After pausing, the emperor looked at the reaction of the ministers in the hall coldly and then said, "... However, the state has its own national laws. Since Fang Aiqing submitted a memorial to impeach Shangshu Pan, he must do it according to the laws of our Chinese Dynasty. In the face of the law, the prince is equal to the common people. I instructed Shangshu Liu of the Ministry of Justice and Zhao Siqing of Dali Temple to personally come forward to hear the case. Be sure to find out the matter. I hope you can restore the innocence of Shangshu Pan!"

The two of them walked out of the class and responded with a stern answer.

The emperor glanced at Fang Zheng coldly and said lightly: "Fang Aiqing, you have raised the ten crimes that impeached Shangshu Pan. You would better ask God and Buddha to pray to the Buddha to confirm these crimes. Shangshu Pan is an important minister of the country and works hard for the people of the Chinese dynasty all his life. Whether in the court or in the people, Shangshu Pan is highly respected. If you find out what you said is untrue, then you will be responsible for the crime of framed ministers for no reason! Do you understand?"

At the end, the emperor was stern and almost roared. His voice echoed in the quiet hall. Longyan was furious, and everyone in the world was shocked. All the civil and military officials in the court changed their colors. They all knelt down and shouted: "Don't calm down!"

The emperor glared at Fang Zheng coldly and snorted heavily.

Fang Zheng seemed to be frightened, and couldn't help but tremble all over. He knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, what I just said... maybe, maybe it may not be very complete..."

Fang Zheng said his eyes were rolling around, looking very guilty.

The emperor sneered: "Since the memorial has been submitted, the case of suing Pan Shangshu is confirmed. It is too late to repent! If the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple find that the case is false, you will wait for the beheading!"

"What?" Fang Zheng raised his head in shock and looked at the emperor in disbelief: "It's not that serious, right? Just complaining, is it necessary to cut off your head?"

"Hmph! You just talked about the law with the Censor Wu, and I will tell you another law. Once verified, you will be punished with false accusations."

"What is 'sitting back'?" Fang Zheng asked with a confused and ignorant look.

Wu Qian walked out at this time and explained with a sneer: "If you sue Shangshu Pan, what punishment standard is enough for you, this standard will be imposed on you. For example, if you sue Shangshu Pan, you deceive the king, this is the crime of beheading. If you find out that you are false accusation, then you will have to kill your head."

Wu Qian and the Pan Party members were so proud. Looking at Fang Zheng's guilty look, it seems that the so-called evidence he presented was probably not enough to sue Pan Shangshu. This person is still too young and does not know the dangers of the court. He thought impeachment of ministers was as easy as eating and drinking water. How could the world be so simple? This time, he would take a good look at how this young proud minister lost his head.

Fang Zheng heard Wu Qian say this, and couldn't help but tremble all over, and said with a timid look: "Wu... Lord Wu, isn't it so serious, right?"

Seeing his appearance, Wu Qian became more confident in his heart that Fang Zheng told Shangshu Pan to speak nonsense without strong evidence. The concerns he had just been overwhelmed. Thinking of this, Wu Qian sneered: "The emperor has said that the state has its own laws, Lord Fang, let us wait and see."

Fang Zheng suddenly looked like a slut, turned his head and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, can I get the memorial to sue Pan Shangshu just now? I just remembered that there seemed to be a punctuation mark that was wrong, and I want to take it back and modify it..."

The emperor said angrily: "The memorials submitted to the emperor by my ministers must be archived in the palace. If you want to, you can take them as soon as you want. Is it a joke to treat national affairs?"

Fang Zheng's eyes turned red, and he lowered his head and said aggrievedly: "...Master, I was wrong, really... forgive me. Weichen is less than 20 years old, but he is actually just a child..."

The ministers looked at him with contempt. Seeing Fang Zheng's performance, the civil and military officials in the court finally confirmed that Fang Zheng was really a false accusation. The so-called ten major crimes of Shangshu Pan were just this young boy who openly took revenge on Shangshu Pan with personal grievances.

The emperor said lightly: "Some mistakes cannot be changed if they make them. Today, in order to convince all your dear friends, I decided that during the thorough investigation of this case by the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple, no one is allowed to enter and exit the Shangshu's Mansion. I will send troops to protect the Shangshu's Mansion day and night, so as not to think that the old Shangshu's evidence was destroyed and confessed to each other, which ruined the old Shangshu's reputation for life. In order to prevent some people who are not treacherous, they will in a hurry to cause harm to the Old Shangshu and his family."

There is no doubt that the "some people" mentioned by the emperor naturally refer to Fang Zheng.

The emperor was so fond of Shangshu Pan, which made the ministers feel very moved. The ministers bowed and said loudly: "Long live my wise emperor!"

There were only a few core members of the Pan Party. After hearing the emperor sent troops to protect the Shangshu Mansion, a hint of shock and suspicion flashed in his eyes.

Fang Zheng still looked extremely regretful, lay on the ground and refused to get up for a long time, and kept saying, "Your Majesty, please return the memorial to me. I read less and I really made the wrong punctuation. Please let me modify it..."
