After rubbing his face, Fang Zheng piled up a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, are you tired? It's very hot, sour plum soup, you have to have a bowl of it, please help me pass it on?"

The emperor looked up slightly, glanced at Fang Zheng, snorted faintly, and continued to review the memorials.

Is the old man in a bad mood today? It must be Fatty and Changping that made him unhappy. These two brothers and sisters are so uneasy. When will they be as mature and steady as the young master?

However, since they are friends, of course they have the right to rescue them. Although Fang Zheng still doesn't know what mistakes they have made, even Changping, who has been favored for a long time, was scolded.

So Fang Zheng carefully tempted: "Emperor,... In fact, His Highness, King Fu and Princess Changping are not old and make mistakes occasionally. As long as they are not too outrageous, it is not harmful. The emperor must be careful of the dragon body and don't get angry and hurt your body."

The fat man and Changping behind him sighed indifferently. - What's wrong with them? Did you say the wrong thing?

After hearing this, the emperor finally put down his pen and looked at Fang Zheng with a smile and said, "What do you mean is that I want me to forgive them?"

Fang Zheng nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, the emperor, I will never change things, and I will speak children without any scruples. This is normal. There is no time for young people to make mistakes. If they change, they will be good comrades..."

The emperor still smiled and said, "But I think they are not a big mistake. They just took the blame for helping others. What do you say?"

Fang Zheng said righteously: "Catch the evil one! The evil one will be investigated! Seriously!"

The emperor finally smiled, smiling happily: "Very good, the evil accomplices gathered together now has saved me a lot of trouble."

"Ah?" Fang Zheng was speechless, "What...what does it mean?" He looked back at Fatty and Changping, and saw the two of them sighing and covering their faces with their hands, as if they couldn't bear to look at them any longer.

The emperor's face changed and he said sternly: "Fang Zheng! You are so brave! Do you take what I said to you as a wind in your ears?"

As usual, when the emperor was angry, everyone present was so angry that they knelt in panic. They didn’t know which dynasty set the rules. Anyway, this was the case on TV. Fang Zheng subconsciously lowered his body and was about to kneel down. He stopped halfway,——No, the matter was not explained clearly, why would I kneel?

"Your Majesty, I have always regarded your words as a golden rule, how could I be like a wind in my ears?...Which word did you mean?" Fang Zheng smiled.

The emperor sneered: "I'm still pretending to be confused with me? I'll ask you, Shangshu Pan's second son, were you beaten yesterday?"

Fang Zheng suddenly realized that this was the case. Doesn’t that boy Pan Wu look quite strong? Why did he complain to his father when he went back?

"Last night, Shangshu Pan came to the palace overnight to see me, saying that you, Fang Zheng, were too bullying, and didn't say that you beat his eldest son, but a few days later, he beat his second son. Fang Zheng, Fang Zheng, how deep does the Pan family have to hate you? Why do you target Shangshu Pan again and again? Humph! This time you learned to be smart, and you didn't come forward and instigated Wubing and Mi'er to take action. Do you think I don't know this? Be smart!"

It turns out that the old man of the emperor understands everything. If I had known, I would have complained first...hey, good man...

Fang Zheng was very angry. The old guy named Pan was really not a person. What else could this guy do besides complaining to the emperor? His character is so bad! When he was in school in his previous life, he probably ended up being criticized by thousands of people and ended up in vain.

Fang Zheng knelt down with a panic-like voice, and said in a crying voice: "Your Majesty! I... I'm wronged!"

"Then you said, why did I wrong you? Have you instigated Wubing and Mi'er to beat people?"

"Uh, yes..." Strictly speaking, Fang Zheng is indeed the mastermind behind this matter, and he cannot deny this.

"Do you have a grudge against Shangshu Pan?"

"Uh, it's..." Fang Zheng was embarrassed to say this in the court, but he beat his son again and again in private. If he said he was for the country and the people, Fang Zheng would be embarrassed to say this. It was too shameless.

"After the beating, did you still instruct Wubing to extort him 50,000 taels of silver?" The emperor pressed step by step.

"Uh, yes..." Although Master Fang only planned to blackmail 5,000 taels, blackmail was blackmail. He used a gun to rob the bank. Even if you didn't catch anything, you still had to go to jail if you were caught.

The emperor snorted coldly: "Then what else do you have to say? Did I wrongly accuse you?"

Fang Zheng scratched his head, it was not wrong, but why was it so wrong for me?

The fat man couldn't help but say, "Father, if we talk about the cause, it was Pan Shangshu's son who first brought someone to smash Fang Zheng's restaurant. We really couldn't stand it, so we interfered in the management. I hope my father will observe clearly."

Changping pouted and said aggrievedly: "That's it."

Fang Zheng suddenly slapped his thigh, yes! That guy got me off first, what's wrong with me in self-defense? The old man of the emperor is really good at changing his concepts, which made me almost bow his head and confess his guilt just now.

"Your Majesty, that kid is fine and smashed my restaurant. I am the victim!"

The emperor said angrily: "You are still victims? Now you can't afford to beat Pan's two sons, but you are unscathed. Tell me where did you suffer?"

If I want to be beaten down by them, I will be considered victimized? What is the logic?

Fang Zheng smiled dryly and said, "That's... Weichen has a good character and has not allowed them to succeed... But Weichen is essentially a victim."

Changping said, "Father, the two boys of the Pan family bully people first, why don't you scold them?"

The emperor glared at her and said, "What do you know!"

Then the emperor said to Fang Zheng: "Fang Zheng, I can't help you this time. Shangshu Pan repeatedly asked to cry. If I don't punish you, it will be difficult for all the officials to keep their mouths..."

Fang Zheng was shocked and subconsciously covered his butt: "Emperor... Emperor, are you going to be a court stick again?"

The fat man and Changping became nervous too. This matter had something to do with them. Although they were helping Fang Zheng breathe, if Fang Zheng was beaten, they would be too guilty.

The emperor said calmly: "I will not punish you for being a scepter this time..."

Everyone was relieved when they heard this, but the emperor continued, "...you go to the heavenly prison."

"What?" Everyone was shocked.

"No!" the three of them said in unison. The joke was so big that the three of them were so scared that their faces changed drastically.

The fat man was so anxious that his fat face turned red: "Father, this matter is all done by his son. If his father must punish him, then punish him!"

Changping was so angry that he jumped straight: "Father! If you let him go to jail, I...I...I will ignore you in the future!"

Fang Zheng looked at the emperor in a daze, and said nothing for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, Fang Zheng suddenly said calmly: "Emperor, I am... I am trying to resign."

As soon as these words were said, everyone was shocked, and even the emperor stared at Fang Zheng in shock. Fang Zheng in his impression had always been like a slick and slick look, but now he was solemnly trying to resign, which made everyone surprised.

Changping was so anxious that he cried and shouted at Fang Zheng: "Don't resign!"

Then he said to the emperor: "Don't let him go to jail!"

Both ends were silent. Changping finally burst into tears when he saw this. He stomped his feet hatefully and wiped his tears regardless of it.

Fang Zheng smiled bitterly, saying that the officialdom was sinister, and he never took this seriously. Now, after the emperor said that he wanted him to be in prison, he suddenly realized that the officialdom was not as simple as he imagined.

I leaned against the pillar in the court and dozed off. When I was bored, I was fighting with the ministers. I was smart in front of the emperor. After I was dispersed, I would beat the sons of several ministers. - Is it so easy for the court to order officials to do? Do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring behind me? Which other ministers are not living tremblingly and walking on thin ice. Why did I do so easy? After all, it was not because of the emperor's favor and the princess' protection. Putting aside these, I was actually nothing!

Fang Zheng said calmly: "Actually, you must know that Weichen did not intend to be an official at all. If the fat man had not been lobbying, Weichen would never have entered the officialdom. But... the officialdom is too different from what I thought. Weichen is still young and is waiting for me to enjoy the good days. I don't want me to lose my head in this officialdom one day for no reason. So, please allow the emperor to resign."

The emperor stared at Fang Zheng for a long time, sighed, and said in a heavy tone: "Fang Zheng, you still regard the court and the officialdom as a simple one. Do you think it will be a whole lot to be eliminated if you resign from an official position? Do you know that even if you have no official position or title, the people you should offend will still offend you. Will they let you go? Do you believe it or not? Without the holy family, if you resign today, someone will make a crime tomorrow, throw you and even your family into the prison, and confiscate your property. But I, the emperor, cannot save you anyway, because the crimes they have made must be seamless and there is no flaw at all."

Fang Zheng was speechless, unable to advance or retreat, how could my situation be so embarrassing? What should I do?

The emperor continued: "I asked you to go to the prison to block the mouths of the ministers, not to harm you! You really let down my efforts..."

Fang Zheng, Fatty and Changping suddenly realized that the emperor asked him to be in prison to protect him, so that the minister Pan Shangshu and the ministers who hated Fang Zheng could not find an opportunity to murder him.

Changping pouted and said, "Then...then you can't let him go to jail. The sky prison is dark and smelly. Is it a place for people to stay? Father, don't you just need to punish him to stay in the door and think about it for a few days."

The fat man nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Father, just let it go to jail if you want to do it. Why do you have to go to jail? It would be better to punish him for thinking about his mistakes and then add a half-year salary, which is also fine for a year..."

Changping said happily: "That is, if the father is willing, he will be fined for many years. Anyway, his family has money, hehe..."

Fang Zheng was unhappy when he heard this. I wonder if this young master is very poor now? It will take many years to punish me. Do you really want me to do a waste of work for your family?
