Chapter 58 The Way of Employing People
In the imperial study, the emperor was reviewing the memorial. Eunuch Cao walked in quietly, without saying a word, and stood respectfully on the left side of the dragon's desk with his hands hanging down.
After a while, the emperor asked without raising his head, "Have you put the scepter on the court?"
Eunuch Cao knelt down and replied, "I have already given you ten things back to you."
The emperor smiled slightly: "I beat him hard? How did Fang Zheng react?"
"When I returned to the emperor, the old slave remembered the emperor's instructions and had instructed the soldiers to execute the sentence to show mercy, so Lord Fang was just a bit of flesh and blood pain, not to worry. But... it was just that Lord Fang's reaction was quite... quite fierce. He cried his father and mother when he was executed, and tears flowed. It was so miserable."
"Oh? Is there anything wrong?" The emperor stopped the pen in his hand, stroked his beard and laughed: "This kid should learn this lesson so that he can know that the officialdom is dangerous and avoid losing his head in the future."
Seeing the emperor's long face, Eunuch Cao took the opportunity to flatter: "The emperor is wise and powerful, with a far-sighted vision. Lord Fang is a blessed person. Only then can he be taken care of by the emperor so much. I am so envious of the old slave."
The emperor smiled and said, "Before using a person, you have to train it carefully and smooth out the burrs on his body, but you cannot get rid of the edges of this person. In this way, when he is used by me in the future, he can do his best to be like a sharp spear. He can stab him wherever I point..."
"Yes, the emperor is wise."
"Haha, it's not good if he beats his temper. I will do my best to do it, so I am not afraid that he will not use it for me. I will pass on my will and allow him to rest for two days. I will send two imperial doctors to bring the best medicine to the Fang Mansion to show him."
"Yes, the old slave obeys the order."
----------------------------------------
After leaving the West Palace Gate, Xiaowu and several guards were waiting outside. Seeing Fang Zheng limping out, everyone was shocked and rushed forward and helped Fang Zheng to the carriage to lie down.
Xiaowu rolled up his sleeves and opened his eyes wide and said, "Young Master, who made you like this? Xiaowu will avenge you!"
Several guards next to him agreed indignation, with a loyal expression of being on the sword and falling from the sea of fire.
Fang Zheng gave them a blank look and said, "The emperor is fighting now. Go ahead, the palace gate is in front of you. After breaking in, you will walk straight and turn left. The emperor should be in the imperial study room. You can go and avenge me. I'm waiting for your triumphant return here."
"Ah?" Xiaowu and the resident guard looked at each other, then they smiled and scratched their heads. They had no courage to avenge this.
A group of guys with no brains!
Fang Zheng lay in the carriage and waved his hand majestic: "Go back to home! Hiss-Oh!"
The carriage moved slowly, Xiao Wuyi stood on tiptoe on the shaft and asked curiously: "Young Master, why do the emperor beat you?"
So Xiaowu is not able to see him, so he doesn't have the ability to carry any pot. Of course, Master Fang is embarrassed to say that it was because he was late and he was too embarrassed to say it, so he had to vaguely say, "Because the young master is a loyal minister! Do you know?"
"But do loyal ministers have to be beaten?" Xiao Wu had a strong desire for knowledge.
"Loyal minister... Of course, loyal ministers will be beaten!" After being suffocated, Master Fang finally became angry and angry: "Where did you have so many questions? Can you ask the important affairs of the court?"
When he returned to Fang Mansion, Xiao Wu was about to help Fang Zheng get out of the car. Fang Zheng shook his hand and stared at Xiao Wu and said, "Are you blind? Haven't you seen the young master unable to walk? Why don't you ask someone to get a bed board and carry the young master in!"
Xiao Wu was so scared that he shrank his head and hurried in and called someone.
Needless to say, Fang Mansion was chaotic again. The young master was carried back dying when he went to court on the first day. The servants were puzzled.
Xiao Wu pretended to be an authoritative person and explained seriously: "What do you know! Only loyal ministers are beaten, but treacherous ministers are not."
The servants suddenly realized: "No wonder they say that loyal ministers are not easy to be called. Now it seems that loyal ministers are really not easy to be called."
In the whole mansion, Mr. Fang knew the reason why Fang Zheng was beaten best, so before Xiao Lu finished applying medicine to Fang Zheng, Mr. Fang rushed into Fang Zheng's house and scolded Fang Zheng very much. The scolding was so satisfying that Mr. Fang left satisfied.
"Xiao Lu, young master, I... miserable!" Fang Zheng blinked pitifully to win sympathy.
"Young Master, it will be fine if you keep it for a few days, it's just skin trauma."
"Little Lu... Master, I... am really miserable!" Fang Zheng continued to gain sympathy.
"Young Master, if you can't remember anything in the future, just tell Xiao Lu that Xiao Lu will remind you that you will not be beaten in vain in the future."
"Xiao Lu, for the sake of the young master's miserableness, can you let me eat the rouge on your mouth? Just a moment..." Fang Zheng began to seduce Little Red Riding Hood.
"……………Bang!" Xiao Lu let go of her hand, and another fine porcelain cup lid turned into powder, gradually pouring out from Xiao Lu's fingers.
"...Uh, Xiaolu, Master, I'm tired, you go down and rest too. - Tomorrow, I'll tell Butler Sun and ask him to replenish the teacup in the room. Just the thick porcelain is good, don't be too expensive."
"Puchi", Xiaolu couldn't help laughing, looking at Fang Zheng deeply, her eyes suddenly became shy and warm. After a long time, Xiaolu suddenly stood up, leaned forward, and kissed Fang Zheng gently on the cheek.
Fang Zheng looked at Xiaolu blankly, his mind was blank. Master, am I dreaming? This girl kissed me? Could it be that the young master's sincerity finally moved her. Tonight is the time for her to promise her?
"Xiao Lu, can you do it again? Young Master, I was not mentally prepared just now, it doesn't count..." Fang Zheng licked his dry lips, trying to prove again that he was not dreaming.
Xiaolu blushed, shook her head, and hurried out of the door.
Just as the clouds were clear, I finally waited for the day when the iceberg was thawing. Fang Zheng was so happy that he wanted to jump up and cheer, but when he moved, his butt hurt so hard that he grinned and lay down obediently.
The supper was served by Xiaolu and a bowl for Fang Zheng. Since kissing Fang Zheng, it has been an afternoon, and the redness on Xiaolu's cheeks has not yet faded. The two of them are just the time when you take a bite and I take a bite, the door of the room was kicked open again.
Fang Zheng was disturbed by others in his mood to pick up girls, and he couldn't help but be furious. He looked up and saw that the culprit of the door was Butler Sun. He didn't know how this door offended him. The old man kicked him again and again.
As soon as Butler Sun entered the door, he bent down and held his knees and gasped without even speaking.
Xiaolu walked up to pour him a glass of water. Butler Sun waved his hand and gasped, "Young Master... Yes... Yes..."
Seeing that he was talking hard, Fang Zheng couldn't help but say to him: "Is there an imperial edict?"
Butler Sun was stunned: "How do you... know?"
Is there really an imperial edict? Fang Zheng was shocked. The emperor would not feel that he was irresistible after hitting me ten big sticks. He planned to do ten more, right? He would definitely finish hitting me again.
"Go and tell the person who sent the order, and said that I am not at home and I have gone out for a trip. I will not be back in three or five years."
Butler Sun looked ugly and said, "This... Master, I can't do it! This is the crime of deceiving the king, and he wants to be beheaded."
Fang Zheng squinted his eyes and said, "Then the emperor will slap me again later. Can you help me get it?"
"This... the old man has no objection, but he is afraid that the imperial envoy who sent the order will not agree... Besides, even if you want to run away, you can't run away. The imperial envoy will stand in your courtyard."
Fang Zheng said angrily: "Damn! Why are you saying something when you've arrived at the door? Let's ask them to come in. Could it be that I have to invite you? Didn't you see that I'm a wounded?"
After a while, the imperial envoy who was sent the order came in, followed by two old men, one of whom was carrying a small box.
The imperial envoy was no one else, but the beating Eunuch Cao whom he met.
When Eunuch Cao saw Fang Zheng, he smiled so hard that he disappeared, like a peony flower: "Oh, Lord Fang, do you still feel pain when you suffer?"
Fang Zheng lay on the bed, smiled bitterly and bowed, "Eunuch Cao, I offended you, I'm sorry that I'm inconvenient, so I can't get up to greet you..."
Eunuch Cao smiled and said, "Our family understands wherever we are. This time we come, we are following the emperor's oral order."
Fang Zheng sighed in his heart, enduring the severe pain and planned to get up and kneel down to listen to the imperial edict. Seeing this, Eunuch Cao quickly stopped him and said, "Mr. Fang, the emperor said, you don't have to kneel down to listen to the imperial edict this time. Just live there and listen."
Fang Zheng bowed and thanked him.
Cao Gong said: "According to the emperor's oral order, Fang Zheng, the regular attendant of the right cavalry, has minor flaws, but the flaws do not cover up the merits. Fang Qing has made great contributions to the country and the people. Today I was beaten, and I couldn't bear it, so I sent two imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital to heal his wounds and allowed him to rest at home for two days, and then go to court to congress on state affairs in two days."
Fang Zheng felt a little depressed when he heard this. Actually, this old man is not bad. Forget it, I will give you a face and will not return home for the time being. Let’s talk about it later. But in order to compensate for the sins suffered today, I’m sorry. I have to greed for more money to buy tonics in the future. I will give you a stick and a sweet date. Humph, don’t think that I can’t see this trick. However, you beat this stick too hard and the sweet dates too small, so I can’t say that I have to find a supplement by myself.
"I received the order to thank me, long live my emperor--"
Eunuch Cao smiled and introduced the two old men behind Fang Zheng: "Mr. Fang, these two are the best imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital. The emperor sent these two out, which shows that the emperor's grace is so great that Lord Fang is so proud of his holy favor."
Fang Zheng bowed and smiled, "Where is there, thanks to Eunuch Cao's full efforts to protect him, so I thanked you here." As he said that, he took out a silver note from his arms and stuffed it into Eunuch Cao's hand.
Eunuch Cao was overjoyed and was extremely attentive in his words. Until the two imperial doctors saw Fang Zheng's injuries and were preparing to go back, Eunuch Cao was still chatting with Fang Zheng in a mess.
Fang Zheng thanked the two imperial doctors. After each of them gave him a silver note, Eunuch Cao said goodbye and left.
