Fang Zheng worked hard for a while before he woke up the fat man. After waking up, the fat man looked dull and looked at Fang Zheng with tears in his eyes... The bitterness in his heart was unspeakable.

One is the prince of the current dynasty, the prince's honor, the other is the prince consort of the current dynasty, a second-rank official. The two were locked in the room and discussing how to kidnap the imperial officials and extort ransom. This matter... the word "crazy" is no longer enough to describe its madness. It is probably more reliable to use "crazy"...

The fat man looked at Fang Zheng pitifully, his heart full of bitterness: "Brother Fang... Woo woo, can we stop playing? We won't fight for this prince, how big a thing is, as forcing the prince and the second-rank official to kidnap and extort? Why do I feel that we have been at the end of our lives and the end of our journey? It's so sad to think about it!"

Fang Zheng glared at him and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite sentimental. Don't learn from the red-card girls in the brothel in the future! You have ruined you. Is your appearance related to sentimentality? Can someone look up at the sky purely at the forty-five degrees without letting tears flow down your eyes. With such a difficult movement, you are so fat, can you be so fat? Who is the one who sprained your neck?"

The fat man said anxiously: "If you don't say this, Brother Fang, you have to think twice before you act! The kidnap the Minister of Revenue, let my father know that if you finish playing, I don't want to pick it out. There is no airtight wall in the world..."

"Don't worry, I've already figured it out. You don't have to come forward, I'll do it. Then I'll cover my face and don't let people recognize you."

"But... the city defense force patrols day and night..."

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Did you forget? I am the garrison general, the chief boss of the city defense force, hehe..."

"But...the court has secret spies..."

"You forgot again? I am the shadow leader, the head of the court's secret agent, hehe..."

The fat man covered his face and sighed like a moaning, and reached a deafening conclusion: "...power has given you a hotbed of crime!"

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Look at what you said, what crimes are you doing? Just tied up a few corrupt officials. This is to eliminate harm for the people. If you become emperor in the future, you have to give me a banner of good citizens."

“…………”

The fat man swayed away from Fang Mansion, and walked out in a daze, muttering: "I was wrong, I shouldn't know you, I was really wrong..."

Fang Zheng looked at the fat man's back with a smile, but he was already thinking about it.

The situation is not tolerant. I must help the fat man to the position of prince! Even if I give all the things from the Fang family, even if I fight with my opponent, I will help the fat man to the position of the prince at all costs!

He and Fatty both knew very well that although the capital was now peaceful, there was actually a rush of undercurrents. All forces appeared and looked at Dandan. Since the day the emperor pushed him and Fatty to a high position, they had inevitably become the focus of attention of all forces, sailing against the current, and retreating if they did not advance. If they retreated, there was a danger of raiding the house and extermination of the clan! No matter whether the prince ascended the throne in the end or other princes became crown princes, there was no doubt that Fang Zheng and Fatty would become the targets of being cleaned.

The situation has tied Fatty and Fang Zheng to a boat, prospering and losing. Only by helping Fatty eliminate his opponent and making him the crown prince can he and the Fang family continue to enjoy the holy family, and even be more glorious than before. Only by living in the battle of imperial power with swords and swords, can the Fang family survive and spread their branches and leaves.

But is the position of the prince so easy to fight for? He and the fat boys had no connections and no foundation in the court. They held huge power in their hands, but they were like a castle in the air. No matter how gorgeous it was built, one day, under the mocking eyes of the ministers, they would collapse and no tiles would exist.

Fang Zheng sighed heavily when he thought of this. How did you live this life? He simply dragged his family and the fat man. Let's go up the mountain to be bandits. After all, I am also the second in command in Qinglong Mountain. Isn't the life of drinking big bowls and eating meat in big mouthfuls? Isn't it much more comfortable than the current intrigue life? But I guess my father and wife will not agree, and the fat man would rather die than follow...

With a random thought, the servant came to report and the Prince came to visit.

Fang Zheng was shocked, what did the prince come? As the crown prince of the country, he surrendered to the nobles and entered the door of his ministers. I wonder what abacus was he?

Fang Zheng did not dare to neglect, so he quickly put on his official uniform and hurried to the front hall.

When I came to the front hall, I saw the prince standing in the front hall, looking up at the picture of the peony wealth hanging in the front hall, with an elegant and leisurely expression.

Fang Zheng glanced around again and found that the prince was coming empty-handed. He couldn't help but smack his lips, and the boss was unhappy.

Aren’t we a country of etiquette? Why don’t we bring gifts when we are visiting the country of etiquette? The prince was quite polite when he came here before, but today he came empty-handed. It’s really rude...

Fang Zheng took a few steps forward and knelt forward and said, "My minister Fang Zheng, I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince. I don't know that the Crown Prince has arrived and has failed to welcome him. Please forgive me!"

Instead of calling him flat, the prince took the initiative to come forward, reached out to help Fang Zheng up, then grabbed Fang Zheng's hand, patted him gently, and smiled and said, "Mr. Fang doesn't have to be too polite. This time he came here in a hurry and became an uninvited villain. I hope Lord Fang will not be accustomed to him."

Fang Zheng's hand was tightly grasped by the prince, and he had thick layers of goose bumps all over his body, and even a little creepy.

What's wrong with this ancient man? Two big men held hands at every turn, aren't they disgusting? Can't they talk well? It makes them feel intimate when they hold hands? I was discussing with the fat man just now how to push you off the stage...

It was not very polite to pull out his hand, so Fang Zheng had to turn his hand and hold the prince's hand tightly, and choked with deep sobs, "Your Highness the Crown Prince personally came to my humble house. I am really grateful!... I was kidnapped by the thief this time, and in prison, I missed Your Highness all the time. I thought of not being able to repay Your Highness's great kindness to me, and I felt regretful in my heart, which was beyond my reach..."

Fang Zheng said while gently stroked the prince's white and delicate hands, as affectionate and focused as if he was touching his lover's slender hands, with an extremely ambiguous attitude.

Now it was the prince's turn to hate chills, so the prince quickly pulled out his hand without any trace, and laughed dryly: "Mr. Fang is really... so enthusiastic, hehe, Lord. Fang's intentions are all my heart, I appreciate it, cough cough..."

After saying that, the prince quickly sat down in the guest room, and separated Fang Zheng several steps apart.

Fang Zheng smiled proudly, look, it’s so good to speak like this, why do you have to hold hands? You’re disgusting yourself, right?

After the prince sat down, he looked at Fang Zheng, looked at him carefully, and smiled and said, "Mr. Fang is in danger this time. Gu has a lot of concern in his heart. Gu has also submitted a memorial to his father several times, asking his father to send additional troops to search for Master Fang's whereabouts. Now that he is lucky, Lord. Fang is lucky and has finally returned safely. It is really gratifying!"

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is in love, and I am very grateful."

The prince sighed, "Although you and I are ministers in the same palace, I have always had very little contact. However, you have always valued you very much. Now that my father is ill, you and I are both ministers. You should abandon past grudges and assist the government together. Do Lord Fang agree?"

Fang Zheng was puzzled when he heard this, "I have no past grudges with you." To be honest, the two sides have never had direct conflicts since they met Fang Zheng and the prince, but secret intrigues are inevitable. Many times, the first impression between people determines that the two are enemies or friends. Unfortunately, the prince and Fang Zheng did not like each other at first sight, so that the later dispute between the court, Pan Ni's rebellion, and now fighting for the throne, have been secretly fighting against each other.

Fang Zheng calmed down and then smiled and said, "Your Highness is so serious. I am the emperor's minister and will be your highness's minister in the future. How dare I have any past grudges with you? If you have done something wrong in the past, I hope your highness is magnanimous. Don't bother with me. I will apologize to you here."

Fang Zheng said this in a steady and steady manner, neither humble nor arrogant manner, which made the prince stunned.

"Mr. Fang is so polite, haha." The prince still smiled, with a few complex and unexplained colors flashing in his eyes.

"Mr. Fang returned to Beijing last night, but he already knew that King Shou and King Ying also returned to Beijing?"

Ouch! It's so sinister! This guy is testing me.

Fang Zheng raised his head, his eyes were confused, and he pretended to be stupid: "King Shou and King Ying? I don't know. Weichen went into the palace when he returned to Beijing last night and went to bed when he got home. He slept until he just got up. How dare you ask the Crown Prince, what are they doing when they return to Beijing?"

When the prince heard this, he stared at Fang Zheng for a long time, and suddenly Zhan Yan smiled and said, "It's nothing. Gu just mentioned it casually. Lord Fang doesn't have to take it to heart. Gu came today. In addition to visiting Lord Fang and being shocked by Lord Fang, he also wanted to explain something to Lord Fang."

Fang Zheng was stunned and quickly said respectfully: "Your Highness, please speak, I will listen carefully."

The prince pondered for a moment, looked solemn and said seriously: "Gou and Lord Fang have known each other for a long time, so there is no need to beat you around the bush. Although Gu and Lord have never had a close relationship, Gu has always attached great importance to him. Now he and King Fu are in high positions, and there are many people who are jealous and slandering the two in the court. Gu is now in charge of the country and the king of Fu receives a daily memorial, at least one-third of the memorials he receives impeachment of Lord and King of Fu..."

Fang Zheng's heart moved. The prince seemed to be showing off with me in this tone. The situation is not clear now, so it would be too early for him to show off?

The prince sighed and continued, "...those memorials do not explain anything, but from the other side, it just shows that the Lord and King Fu are not very popular in the court now. I'll tell you the truth, I hope you don't blame me."

Fang Zheng nodded absent-mindedly.

"Today I will say something bluntly, Lord Fang, what are you planning with King Fu? The sage said: 'Filial piety is to serve the king, brother is to serve the chief, and kind is to make the people.' Gu has been the crown prince for ten years. Over the past ten years, Gu has been trembling all the time, like walking on thin ice, and dare not exceed the rule of every word and act. Gu is doing his best to do every role, to his father, the emperor's brothers and sisters, civil and military ministers, and to ordinary people... Gu strives to make everyone around him satisfied. Gu has done so many things and asked himself that he is worthy of the people of the world, but why are there still so many people who oppose Gu and want to push Gu down as the crown prince and then hurry up?"

The prince spoke faster and faster, and his emotions were mixed with a little excitement. After saying this, the prince stopped and took a few quick breaths.

Fang Zheng was confused by the prince's sudden words. What does this mean? I complain? Or sensational? Why do you tell me this? We are not from the same country. If you want to pay your heart, you can't pay it with me. Do you tell the fat man that the effect is much better?

Seeing Fang Zheng sitting on the chair with his eyes straightened, he didn't say a word, he couldn't help but sigh in disappointment, and then returned to his usual smile expression and said gently: "Gu just lost his composure, please forgive me. However, what Gu said just now is all from the heart. Lord Fang, you and I have never had any grudges. You and King Fu can also be friends. Gu and King Fu can also be close brothers. Now that the father's body is getting worse day by day. After King Shou and King Ying enter the capital, they do not want to serve their father and make friends with ministers. You should not say that you should know that these two people have bad intentions. The first thing they are targeting is Gu's prince. Secondly, the King Fu who has entered the Ministry of Personnel. Lord Fang must understand that if you can abandon your past grudges and join forces to fight, no matter how great they are, they will not be able to make a fortune..."

Seeing that Fang Zheng was still dying and looked like he was hunched down and silent, the prince emphasized his tone: "If Lord Fang is willing, Gu Wan will swear here, and treat him as a national scholar from now on. Even if Gu ascends the throne in the future, this promise will never change! King Fu, will always be King Fu, and will always be the King Fu who dominates the Ministry of Personnel."

Fang Zheng finally understood now that the prince was here to request an alliance today. He went around so much, but it turned out that he was just for this matter. He really convinced these ancient people!

The prince’s words were equivalent to indirectly making a wish for the future of Fang Zheng and Fatty. As long as they agreed to join forces, Fatty or King of Fortune could continue to be prosperous in the court.

Unfortunately, Fang Zheng didn't believe a word about the prince's words.

When Pan Shangshu rebelled, the prince suppressed the Shen Ce army and stopped moving, intending to stalk the cicada with the oriole behind. This person's vicious mind and deep plots were really terrible. The promise made by such a person is not much more valuable than a fart. Fang Zheng thought with his butt that once he drove King Shou and King Ying out of the capital, the prince would turn against him and the fat man next. The so-called non-toxicity is not a husband, but it is a matter of the position of 95. A light promise is nothing!

But how should I refuse the prince? I can't agree or offend him too much, otherwise the prince will definitely wear his own little shoes in the future, which will be a big headache.

Fang Zheng's mind was spinning quickly, thinking about how to speak. At this time, Changping walked out of the back hall and said softly: "Husband, a foreman has come to the new house. I'm asking what the style of the corridor garden is. I'm afraid you have to make your decision on this matter..."

Ouch! Good wife, it’s so suitable!

Fang Zheng wanted to pick up Changping and slap her hard on the spot.

After Changping finished speaking, he saw the prince, and hurriedly gave a blessing to the prince, saying in a sweet voice: "Mi'er has seen His Highness the Prince."

The prince looked at Changping with a smile and said in a gentle voice: "I haven't seen Mi'er for a long time. I didn't expect that after becoming a wife, my temperament was much softer than before. Good. When my father saw him, I must be very happy."

Changping smiled quietly and did not speak. Although the two were brothers and sisters, they were not born to the same mother after all, and they have been very unfamiliar since childhood.

The prince smiled and said, "Mr. Fang has something to do, so I will not disturb you. I hope the words I said to you just now will be thinking twice and waiting for the good news."

After saying that, the prince nodded and smiled at Changping, then stood up and said goodbye.

Fang Zheng hurriedly supported the prince with great sincerity and said in a very terrifying tone: "Oh, Prince, are you leaving now? Why don't you sit for a while? I'm so ashamed of being accustomed to you, Your Prince, please slow down. There is a pit in front of you, be careful to sprain your ankle..."

Until he sent the prince out, Fang Zheng still looked at the prince with a gaze full of resentment and reluctance, and a bit of eager expectation. His shiny and watery gaze made the prince's scalp numb. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out why this uncontrollable guy looked at him like this.

After the prince got on the carriage, Fang Zheng was still reluctant to look at him.

Suddenly, I felt that someone was gently kicking my hind leg. When I looked back, I saw Changpingzheng staring at him with a furious look on his face.

"What are you planning to stand at the door and turn into a husband-looking stone? You have also slapped too much, right?" Changping said angrily.

Fang Zheng's face collapsed when he heard this and said in a crying voice: "Am I flattering? Am I waiting for the benefit..."

"What are the benefits? The prince came to our house. It was obvious that it was a weasel who wished the chicken a New Year. If you don't have a good intention, you won't be able to see it?"

Fang Zheng said with a sad face: "Even if the weasel wishes the chicken a New Year, it has to bring some gifts when it comes to the door! Is there a weasel who comes to pay New Year's greetings with free time? The prince's brother of your mother's family is so rude. It's a good idea to have a hundred thousand or eighty thousand... Alas, it's in vain to entertain..."

It turned out that this guy looked at the scrupulous and terrifying, just to wait for the prince to give him a silver note. This person is shameless and rare in the world.

Changping smiled so much that his little fist gently hit Fang Zheng twice, and said with a smile: "Are you? My father-in-law is the richest man in Huachao. You playboy is like a beggar. You are so disgusting to follow the prince and wait for the benefits. It's so shameless..."

Fang Zheng glanced at her sideways and snorted coldly: "You are so embarrassed to say? If you hadn't dug up my private money, would you think I would be happy to please like a beggar? - Hey, I said you have to return at least a little, right? You have to swallow ten boxes of gold. Eating alone is a taboo in the world. Bandits understand the principle of not killing them all. You wouldn't be so unrighteous, right?"

When Changping heard him say he was a bandit, he became angry. He snorted coldly when he heard this, "I'm sorry, I'm a princess, not that bad bandit. I don't understand the morality of the world. You've found the wrong person!"

Fang Zheng immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing. Due to Luo Yueniang's relationship, the word bandit had become a sensitive word for the Fang family. Seeing Changping's angry resentful woman look, Fang Zheng quickly laughed and coaxed her, and it took him a while to calm Changping's anger.

"The prince is here to join forces with you today, don't agree randomly." Changping said worriedly: "Although they are all brothers and sisters of the royal family, I have known him a little since I was a child. The prince is narrow in popularity and will revenge his grudges. Joining forces with him is tantamount to a scam. You have to think clearly that, don't bring our Fang family into a dead end."

Fang Zheng blinked and smiled, "So you hid behind and eavesdropped? Then run out and interrupt when I need you the most?"

Changping wrinkled his nose pretty and snorted: "I'm not afraid that you, a fool, will get hot for a moment, and you agree to him without thinking about anything, and from then on, you'll have to plant disasters."

"My wife is so understanding and can marry you, and it is really a blessing I have cultivated in my previous life..." Fang Zheng flattered without hesitation.

Changping's eyes were shiny when he was photographed, and he couldn't help but feel a little fluttering, and said with a smug smile: "Of course..."

Fang Zheng quickly said without hesitation: "My wife is so understanding, why don't you call Fengjie, Yanran and Xiaolu tonight? Let's play with four phoenixes, isn't it beautiful..."
To be continued...
