900109429 Chapter 292: The Battle for Reward

Deng Ru is the censor of the six departments of the court! He is the head of the censor, and the clerk of all departments. He is the one who is over 60 years old and is considered a respected old minister in the court. He has never had such an insult to the nose by a young boy?

After hearing Fang Zheng's words, Zheng Ru was so angry that her beard raised, and her old face suddenly turned red. She turned around and stared at Fang Zheng fiercely, and said angrily: "You are not guilty of virtue? Lord Fang, if you don't know, unless you don't do it yourself, Sun Yi, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, do you still remember this person?"

Fang Zheng blinked: "I don't remember, what did he do? Do you owe me money?"

Zheng Ru sneered: "As a second-rank official of the court, you actually robbed the Ministry of Revenue officials with your accomplices late at night. That night you robbed him of tens of thousands of taels of silver, and "hum! And you also invited a painter to take off his clothes and draw his naked appearance. Lord Fang, you won't forget this so quickly, right?

"Wow!" The whole court was boiling. All the ministers in the hall, including the fat man sitting on the dragon throne, stared at Fang Zheng with incredible eyes. The shock in his heart was like a storm that impacted their psychological bottom line.

The second-rank minister robbed his colleagues in the court late at night and forced him to take off his clothes and draw nude portraits. This incident is the number one scandal in the court in more than a hundred years since the founding of the Chinese Dynasty?

This Lord Fang, "I am so brave.

The fat man leaned softly on the back of the dragon chaise, rubbing his temple hard, muttering to himself in a daze: "Is this guy crazy? It's okay to rob, but he still forced people to draw naked images. Is there anyone who bullies people like you?"

Fang Zheng was also shocked. He did a secret job of robbing Sun Yi, how could Zheng Ru know? Sun Yi was really willing to do it? Aren’t he afraid that I would make his naked image public?

It seemed as if Fang Zheng's doubts were seen; Zheng Ru sneered: "Mr. Fang, before doing something bad next time, please find out the family background of the victim. Sun Yi is my husband's son-in-law. What can he hide from me? Lord. Do you want to admit this?"

Everyone in the court looked at Fang Zheng in curiosity and shock. In fact, everyone knew that even if there was no evidence, everyone thought that it was his work. In this acre of land in the capital, there was nothing that Fang Zheng dared not do. This guy has become a major nuisance in the capital.

Fang Zheng rolled his eyes, then he thrust his chest and said sternly: "It's good to be a good man. Your son-in-law Sun Yi was robbed. It was what I did, what happened?"

Zheng Ru raised his thick eyebrows and turned to the fat man and said, "Emperor, Fang Di has admitted that this matter was done by him. Please punish Fang Zheng severely to correct the customs of our court."

"Oh, let it go, Lord Zheng, don't rush to kill me." Fang Zheng smiled and stopped Zheng Ru's words, saying: "In front of the emperor and the civil and military officials of the court, some things must be explained clearly, otherwise everyone will be confused and confusing the public."

"Hmph, you admit it yourself, aren't this still clear?"

"There is another place that is not clear," Fang Zheng looked at Zheng Ru and said with a smirk: "Your son-in-law Sun Yi is just the head of the Ministry of Revenue of Chemical Products. His monthly salary is only a few dozen taels of silver. I dare to ask this father-in-law. Why did he have tens of thousands of taels of silver on him and let me rob him? The origin of this money is very suspicious. Could it be that he had done a vote elsewhere before I robbed him? In this way, I can only be considered a bad person at most."

"You," Zheng Ru opened her mouth wide. She was stunned on the spot for a moment, unable to say a word.

Today, he was impeached by Fang Zheng, but he forgot such a big loophole, which was broken by Fang Zheng a little bit. He suddenly felt that he had made a big mistake and actually gave his handle to him. It was really a foolproof move.

With Fang Zheng's not very noble character, it is certainly appropriate to chase the enemy's life and take the opportunity to beat the dog in the water: "Emperor, Weichen believes that Lord Zheng and the head of the Ministry of Revenue Sun Yi's family are suspicious. A small seventh-rank official actually wandered around the streets with tens of thousands of taels of silver notes, which makes people suspicious. Weichen is loyal to the country and then robbed Sun Yi to investigate the ins and outs of the matter."

"Shameless!" The ministers cursed in unison when they heard this.

The fat man glanced at Zheng Ru's pale face, and tapped his fingers on the armrest of the dragon chaise a few times, and said lightly: "Fang Aiqing. Don't go off topic. What we are talking about now is that you are awarded the title of the title, so there is no need to say anything off topic."

Zheng Ru breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and looked at the emperor without any trace, his eyes full of gratitude. If he was unable to protect his integrity due to today's affairs, he would even feel like he would die.

When the ministers heard the emperor's words, they all felt like a mirror in their hearts. Today is the ceremony of the new emperor's ascension to the throne. The emperor had just ascended the throne and would definitely not want any discord in the court, so as not to everyone in the world think that the new emperor is mean and young, and they are eager to deal with the old minister, which will have a negative impact on his reputation.

Fang Zheng also understood this truth. So he stopped obsessing with this matter. He thrust his chest when he heard this and said unwillingly: "Although the empress is not old, his character is barely noble, and he is humble and cautious. Who said that I am not qualified to take responsibility for the position of Minister of Personnel?"

"Shameless!" The ministers cursed in unison in their hearts again. Is this guy shameless? Are you praising yourself like that? Is it the opposite?

The fat man looked happy: "Oh? So, have you agreed to take office as the Minister of Personnel?"

"Ah?" Fang Zheng was stunned and shook his head quickly: "Who said I agreed? No, no, I am going to resign."

All the civil and military officials in the court wiped their sweat:.

The fat man's face turned black with anger and glared at Fang Zheng fiercely.

The throne ceremony continued. It was only because of the little episode just now that the subsequent program ended hastily.

Before retreating into the harem, the fat man ordered Fang Zheng to meet in the imperial study. The ministers looked at the young minister who was favored by both the late emperor and the new emperor. Many people frowned deeply. Will this person become the second Shangshu Pan in the court?

In the imperial study room.

The fat man smiled and handed Fang Zheng a snack, "Take the master. I cry, the core crispy cooked in Jiangnan. I can't eat it in the capital. I can't eat it with a very authentic taste.

Fang Zheng took it without hesitation, took a big bite, and praised: "It's not bad, it's really comfortable to be an emperor, I can eat whatever I want.

The fat man smiled and said, "It's actually comfortable to be a minister of the Ministry of Personnel. All officials in the world have to look at your expression. In the future, you can walk sideways in the capital. No one dares to care about you. How great it is."

Fang Zheng was stunned and put the snacks on the table. He sighed and said, "How can the magpie know the ambition of the swallow and the bird?"

The fat man wiped his sweat: "Are you talking about it?"

Fang Zheng shook his head: "You are Hongji, I am Yanque, Yanque, who has no ambitions. I just want to accompany my wife and family every day, and eat, drink and have fun outside with the money earned at home, play birds, walk dogs and fight crickets, drink tea in teahouses, drink wine in taverns, and hear stories about melon seeds. If the prefect of the capital is willing to turn a blind eye, I also want to tease good women on the street occasionally to entertain themselves and others."

The fat man's eyes were straight: "Your ambition" is really great."

"Fatty, you must know too. A person like me is not suitable for being an official. I am timid and have no principles in doing things. Only profit is the goal. Everything is good and evil, it depends on whether it is good or not. An official like me actually does more harm than good for the entire court. If I become the Minister of Personnel, I will definitely make me feel itchy in the court."

After looking at the fat man, the fat man smiled and said nothing.

Fatty, the court belongs to you. The world belongs to you. I don’t want to ruin your new dynasty and new atmosphere because of me. Before your father died, he repeatedly told me not to be the powerful minister who has been infatuated for thousands of years. In fact, he was too worried. I don’t have the ability to be a powerful minister. From the heart, I would rather be the flower-picking thief who has made thousands of girls and women scolded him.

The weather was a little hot, and the fat man was sweating slightly.

Besides, I was very brave. I thought that being an official would bring peace to life, but I was born and died several times and almost died several times. Being an official is really a great sorrow in the officialdom of China. Your sister Shier and my other wives, including my parents, are worried all day long and worried about my safety. Thinking about the past two years of being an official, I didn’t make them feel glorious. Instead, they were even more worried. As a man, this is irresponsible to his family. So, fat man, you should let me resign and let me go back and continue to be my playboy. When I have time, I will come to the palace to drink with you and discuss my experience in picking up girls. Isn’t that good?"

Fang Zheng endured some things. When he became the most powerful minister in the court, over time, the fat emperor's mind became more mature. Will he become cruel and ruthless? Can he still tolerate himself, his former classmate and friend? Distance produces beauty. Only when leaving can this friendship last forever.

After saying this, both of them fell into silence in the imperial study room.

After a long time, the fat man sighed: "Brother Fang, I understand what you said just now, but I have just ascended the throne and raised the court. The only person I trust is you. I just hope you can help me, at least let me manage the government affairs. If you resign again at that time, I promise not to stop you.

Fang Zheng thought for a while and said, "Okay, but there is no need to mention the position of Minister of Personnel. I am not that material. I will still be my garrison general in the capital and serve as a part-time spy chief by the way.

The fat man smiled with a smile: "You really don't want to be the Minister of Personnel?"

Fang Zheng shook his head vigorously.

The fat man slapped his thigh and smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn't want it. If you don't become the Minister of the House, please help me leave Beijing and check a case. Xiao.

Fang Zheng sniffed and frowned: "How could I smell a conspiracy? Are you calculating me?"

The fat man said unhappily: "Nonsense! How could I plot against you? I'll give you a fat man, and no one else can ask for it."

Fang Zheng stared at the fat man with alert: "What do you want me to do?"

The fat man's fat face squeezed into a ball and showed a flattering smile: "Brother Fang, help me next time Jiangnan. Jiangnan is so beautiful. There is paradise above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below, misty rain, misty bridges, flowing water. In the spring, the flowers in Jiangnan are blooming, and the scenery is so beautiful that people can linger."

"Come on, I'm not interested in those stupid things, so I just said, why do you want me to go to Jiangnan?" Fang Zheng interrupted the Jiangnan scenery that the fat man described for him without hesitation.

"Investigate a huge case of dumping and misappropriating treasury silver." The fat man said honestly.

"I'm not interested, no talk!" Fang Zheng didn't think about it when he talked about investigating the case and immediately refused.

Just kidding, investigating the case, what a dangerous thing. I am not Bao Qingtian, why did I have to let me go?

"Brother Fang, this case involves officials from all over the six governments in Jiangnan, and even some important officials in the court in Beijing. It is like a huge net of arabic girls, with complex roots and very complexity. The Minister of Justice Chu was powerless to do anything.

"Then I won't go. Even if the Shangshu Chu is so good at investigating the case, how could I do this well? If you don't go, you're fine. If you don't go, you're fine. I'm going to go home and go to sleep, and hurried to stop me.

Fang Zheng walked out without looking back; he said, "I can't hear anything. I'm old and want to go home to enjoy my old age. You even gave me such a dangerous errand, and I think I'm stupid,"

"Hey! Stop." Seeing Fang Zheng about to walk out of the study door, the fat man was anxious and shouted, "Don't you want to see the beauty in Jiangnan?"

Fang Zheng seemed to have been immobilized and could not move.

Then he quickly turned his head and stared at the fat man with his eyes burning, emitting two faint green lights.

"The beauty of Jiangnan? What does it mean? Explain it clearly." Fang Zheng asked with a somewhat fanatical expression.

The fat man's face became darker and he rubbed his forehead with sweat, and said with difficulty: "The beauty of Jiangnan has been born since ancient times. Her posture is graceful and her feelings are graceful, like the spring breeze blowing on the willows, with love, like the fluorescent autumn moon, graceful and graceful, with slender and slender hands, and the white snow wrists are revealed.

Fang Zheng swallowed his saliva, his eyes getting hotter.

The fat man looked at Fang Zheng and suddenly smiled lustfully: "There is a poem that specifically describes the style of a woman in Jiangnan."

"What" what poem?" Fang Zheng was a little confused.

"On the moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges, where can the jade man teaches to play the flute?" The fat man smiled and said, "The woman in Jiangnan must have a bit of unique taste. If she doesn't taste it personally, it will be a regret in life."

"Oh, Fang Zheng was like being hypnotized, and he let out an ecstatic moan, his mind was completely confused.

Then, Fang Zheng straightened his clothes, straightened his chest, showed a righteous expression, and said seriously: "Emperor, the so-called "the master is worried about the humiliation of the minister." As a loyal minister, if he cannot share the worries for the emperor, what face can he stand in the court? He swallowed the national treasury, and filled his personal pockets, and with his hatred of evil, he really couldn't stand these scumbags at ease with the law. Please feel free to hand over the case to the minister! I have set out in Jiangnan these days and will definitely bring those corrupt officials to justice."

The fat man aversion to chills and nodded weakly. "Then please, please." Alas. Xiao,

Suddenly, the fat man seemed to remember something: "When it comes to filling his personal bags," I will send officials from the Ministry of Revenue to your mansion in the afternoon, count the property of the Prince's Mansion and fill it in the national treasury. You can cooperate."

Fang Zheng's face collapsed, and his handsome face twitched a few times with great distress.

Looking at Fang Zheng's back as he was leaving, the fat man's fat face couldn't help but start to twitch.

As an emperor, he actually had to rely on beauty to lure his ministers to do the job, making him look like a big teapot in a brothel. The fat man was filled with sadness, anger and depression at this moment.

"My father is right, Fang Zheng is really a slut."

Inside the Fang Mansion.

Officials of the Ministry of Revenue and the yamen runners affiliated with the Ministry of Revenue are coming and going, shuttleing endlessly.

The boxes of gold, silver and jewelry emitting thousands of golden lights were moved from the Fang family's warehouse to the carriage at the door. Fang Zheng drooped his face and watched the group of people in and out with hatred. Every time they moved a box, Fang Zheng's heart felt as if he was stabbed by a needle, which made him suck in the air.

He was very happy when he agreed to the fat man, but as he watched boxes of gold, silver and jewelry that should have belonged to him entered the national treasury, he felt a little regretful.

"Hey! Are you still human? You even take my eggs, why? Do you want to confiscate my family?" Fang Zheng finally couldn't help but quickly snatched in front of two yamen runners, snatching a small jade-carved basket in their hands, with more than a dozen shining eggs in the basket.

"Sir, that's the night pearl, not an egg." The yamen runner corrected Fang Zheng's mistake with a bitter face.

"Fuck! It's obviously an egg, are you blind? Who dares to say it's not an egg? I'll beat him to death!" Fang Zheng's eyes were red, his eyes were like two unsheathed knives, and he was tug at the body of the yamen runners.

"That's right! It's obviously an egg, how could it be a night pearl?" The servants of the Fang Mansion also surrounded him and spoke to the young master.
