"Fang Zheng! You shouted for justice as soon as you came out, what's wrong?" The emperor's tone contained anger.

"Ah?" Fang Zheng raised his head in shock and looked around. Seeing that some of the ministers in the court were sneering and some were sneering. Only Wei Chengde frowned and looked at him and sighed.

Fang Zheng was a little puzzled and thought to himself, could someone have been exposed for punishing Mr. Liu’s son yesterday? Not so, I won’t be so careless, right?

"Report to the emperor, I am, I am... Uh, I am, I am thinking that our Hua Dynasty is the supreme country of the Heavenly Kingdom, but its territory is not large enough. It is really unfair! Well, yes! It is so unfair! We should immediately lead our army to attack those small countries, turn their territory into our territory, their gold and silver, our gold and silver, and their wives..."

While playing clever, Master Fang suddenly turned his back on the previous mistake. However, when he looked up, he saw all the civil and military officials staring at him with bad expressions. The emperor looked even more angry and burst out at a glance. Fang Zheng quickly stopped his horse and smiled at the emperor: "...Their wife is still their wife... We don't care, hehe."

The emperor snorted heavily and said angrily: "The bull's head is not right, it's simply unaware of what you think! Fang Zheng, what are you thinking all day long in your mind? I really don't know whether to reward you."

"Ah? Reward me?" Fang Zheng was shocked, and my buddy sent me again?

The emperor gave Fang Zheng a blank look in anger, then turned his head to signal to the eunuch standing beside him. The eunuch stood up first and proclaimed loudly: "The emperor's imperial edict, Fang Zheng, the fifth-rank right-rank cavalry attendant and loyal and brave nephew, discussed with the Turkic envoy to form an alliance, and promoted the national prestige of our country. I highly praised him, so he appointed Fang Zheng as the first-class loyal and brave nephew, and inherited the inheritance of the world, and added 200 households to the world. He heard about it and admired this-"

After the imperial edict was announced, the civil and military officials in the court were shocked again.

Whether it is a minister close to Fang Zheng or a minister who hates him, they have to admit that the Hua Dynasty had taken the greatest advantage in history when negotiating with the Turkic envoy. Fang Zheng made great efforts in it and made great contributions. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was building a territory. Moreover, it is said that this man had a strong relationship with Princess Changping and was about to become the son-in-law of the current dynasty. Originally, everyone thought that the emperor would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to make a contribution to the country to reward him and entrust him with important tasks.

Unexpectedly, the emperor just added a first-level title to Fang Zheng, adding two hundred households to a vain fief. One did not add officials, two did not give gold, and three did not reward silver. The ministers were confused in their hearts that the emperor had been in power for many years and had never treated meritorious ministers. What's wrong with this today? In theory, Fang Zheng was about to become the emperor's son-in-law, and the emperor should not be so mean and rude to Fang Zheng.

Pan Shangshu's expression was calm, neither happy nor angry, and he stood in the front row of the court officials with his eyes closed, turning a deaf ear to this matter, as if he was asleep.

The court officials below were talking a lot. Wei Chengde looked dissatisfied and raised his thick eyebrows and wanted to leave the class to object. The old man was upright, not to mention that he had been with Fang Zheng for a long time. He also knew that although this man was slick, he was still pretty good and made great contributions to the country. The emperor was so unfair to deal with things, the old man couldn't help but want to go out to give advice and offend Tianyan.

Before Old Man Wei could speak, Fang Zheng, who was kneeling on the ground, spoke: "I thanked Lord Long's kindness, long live my emperor."

After thanking Wanen, Fang Zheng stood up and returned to the class with a normal expression.

Fang Zheng really felt that it didn't matter. What is the promotion or the promotion was like bullshit in his eyes. He only knew one thing: adding an official means that the burden on his body is heavy, he is busy with something, and he is a kind of busy busy that is ineffective and can't even get a half-sixth money. With the nature of Master Fang, how could he be willing to do it? He wanted to be such a free and idle official of the fifth rank for the rest of his life.

As for the emperor's failure to give him a bounty and silver, it would be better to explain it. To put it bluntly, negotiating with the Turks was a private deal between him and the emperor. Seeing that Fang Zheng had made a fortune, the emperor was so angry that he would not give him another reward. It was very normal and logical. Fang Zheng was already very grateful when the emperor didn't ask him for silver.

Fang Zheng didn't think of this behavior, but it was a different taste in the eyes of the court officials. He was usually smiling and smiling, but he was not serious. Once he encountered problems, he could be as good as a lake and not be surprised by honor and disgrace. He would be truly a reality in the future.

As the ministers looked at him in surprise, Master Fang leaned against the pillar with a calm expression and fell asleep.

No matter what everyone thinks, it is the Golden Palace now, and the morning court has not yet ended, and the things that should be reported must continue. As for the fifth-rank idle official who was hiding behind the pillar, everyone can only ignore him for the time being. After the court is dispersed, they will go back and carefully consider the profound meaning of the emperor's move.

Fang Zheng was sleeping hazy, and suddenly heard an old voice crying sadly. A loud shout came from the Golden Palace: "I beg the emperor to seek justice for me!"

Like a thunderclap on the ground, Fang Zheng, the sleeping god.

Looking around, I saw a minister in his forties and slightly fat snatching out of the squad and kowtowed to the emperor in great sorrow. The golden bricks laid on the ground of the Golden Palace were knocked out of the muffled sound, and the minister still cried unconsciously.

"There is a show!" Master Fang was energetic and rubbed his face with great enthusiasm. At this time, he felt that it would be great if he had a bun of melon seeds on his hands.

The emperor looked at the minister who kept kowtowing on the ground, frowned deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Aiqing, just report it if you have anything to do. What's the use of kowtowing?"

When Fang Zheng heard that the minister was named Liu, he couldn't help but feel a sudden slap in his heart. Oh no, could this be the Minister Liu from the Ministry of Revenue? The unlucky guy I had made yesterday happened to be his son, right? It's going to be revealed now.

After glanced at the four-faced glance, Fang Zheng shrank his neck unconsciously and stood behind the pillar quietly. His mind was running rapidly, thinking about how to deal with it if the emperor asked later. Under normal circumstances, there was basically no other way except to cheat and deny it.

The minister surnamed Liu sobbed: "My dog ​​son was listening to someone's storytelling by the Qinhuai River yesterday, but he mistakenly recognized his bad friends. The two of them coaxed the dog son to a pleasure boat, and drugged him in the wine, and stole his purse. The dog son woke up and had no silver to pay the bill. He was beaten all over by the thugs of the pleasure boat, and... castrated him! Emperor, Emperor! I only have this son and have no heirs yet. I ask the emperor to make the decision for me! Woo woo..."

Old Liu said silently, lying on the ground and cried.

Fang Zheng was also shocked when he heard this. Grandma, those thugs were too cruel. They just had a meal of overlord chicken. As for cutting them? Isn’t it enough to beat them up? What should I do in the future if Mr. Liu goes to the palace to serve the emperor, or hides in the boudoir to embroider? Although the two professions are stable, they are not very nice to say. - Are you doing this too unkind?

In the Golden Palace, the emperor raised his eyebrows and said furiously: "It's so inconsistent! Where is the governor of Jinling?"

Lord Chen, the governor of Jinling, stood out of shift while wiping his cold sweat, knelt on the ground with a thud, and said tremblingly: "I... I am here."

The emperor stared at him coldly and said in a sequel: "Chen Jiulin, I have entrusted the important task of public security in the capital to you. Is this how you manage it? If such a big case is under the rule, what do you do on weekdays? Do you know your guilt?"

Chen Jiulin was so scared that his whole body shivered, and his head was hit on the ground with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I dare not delay it after receiving this case yesterday. I took the constable to the teahouse to investigate everywhere. I heard that the two people whom Mr. Liu met were local people in the capital, one was fat and the other was called Mo Zaiti, and the other was called Mo Zaiti. It was reported that the two were brothers. After the incident, I issued a sea arrest notice to search everywhere, but there was no result. I have seized the pleasure boat that committed the murder, and all the people involved in the case were arrested and put into prison. Emperor, I... do my best!"

Fang Zheng laughed in his heart. It seemed that this was a headless case. According to these two names, he could not catch even after the year of the Monkey and Horses. Thinking about something wrong, is it that Jinling Mansion so ineffective? So many people have seen me and Fatty. Can't they really find out that it was me and Fatty? This matter is a bit strange...

At this time, Mr. Liu couldn't help but say angrily: "Your Majesty! I sued Chen Jiulin, the governor of Jinling. For many years, I have been not strict in my rule, neglected my duties, the unstable public security in the capital, and the unsophisticated customs of the people, which led to such a tragic incident. I asked the emperor to punish him! I sued the brothels in Zhangtai, Jinling, and raised evil slaves, which led to the deterioration of the people's customs and chaos in the public security. If the emperor does not strictly govern, I am afraid that the world will decline and the people's hearts will be unstable!"

The emperor glanced at Shangshu Pan intentionally or unintentionally. Shangshu Pan closed his eyes and said nothing, his face was unrest, and there was no clue.

After coughing twice, the emperor said in a deep voice: "Liu Aiqing's words are reasonable. Please... well, please feel sorry for me."

As he spoke, the emperor sternly said, "Chen Jiulin, as the governor of Jinling, you are not strong in your rule and have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter. I fined you one year's salary, demoted you to a higher level, and retain your original position to observe the future. I ordered you to find out the real murderer of this case as quickly as possible and give Liu Aiqing a fair! Do you understand?"

Chen Jiulin's face was pale and said nothing, and he returned to the court in a cold sweat.

"As for those Zhangtai brothels, they are too arrogant and arrogant. The emperor dares to commit such evil deeds, and their crimes cannot be forgiven! I think it should be severely governed! What do you all think?" The emperor said in a deep voice.

How dare the ministers object? Although the ministers in the court like to run to those brothels if they have any problems, and their things are more lewd and erotic, no one is so stupid that they stand up to speak for the brothels at this time and stroke the emperor's dragon beard.

For a moment, the court was very noisy, and the ministers nodded in agreement. Even Pan Shangshu, who had been standing and not talking much, seemed to have woken up and nodded with approval.

A sudden voice sounded behind, full of flattery: "The emperor is wise! From the government to the people's livelihood, he devotes himself to the country and the people. He is a model of the ministers and an idol of the people! Under the wise leadership of the emperor, our Huachao will surely move towards one glory after another! The emperor is simply the emperor of the ages, the emperor! Long live my emperor!"

The ministers were very cold in their hearts, and they all had a cold war, stroked the goose bumps that appeared all over their bodies, and they all thought to themselves: "Who is this? The flattery is too shameless! Are you taking photos like this? What else do we take in the future?"

The ministers looked in the voice and saw that the big flattery was no one else, but the fifth-rank scattered cavalry attendant, and Lord Fang Zheng was the same.

Fang Zheng had a smug smile on his face, standing in the court class with a complacent smile, as proud as a big rooster who had eaten alone.

If you flatter someone, it’s not too late. You guys are slow to react, but you were still the first step by the young master. Are you stunned? Haha.

Lord Fang has finished filming, what else can the ministers do? Although he was extremely disdainful of his shameless behavior, he had to lean over and bow down and sing in unison: "Long live my emperor!"

The emperor glanced at Fang Zheng faintly, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

"The ministers don't object, right? I think that a special person should be assigned to manage this matter. The Zhangtai brothel is no longer the same as other places. The situation and background are very complicated. If a special person is not allowed to do his best."

When the ministers heard this, they seemed to have taken mute pills and all remained silent. As we all know, many of the brothels and pleasure boats in the capital were important officials in the court, and even princes and nobles secretly invested in the process. Who would like to do such offending errands?

After all, this matter was led by Mr. Liu of the Ministry of Revenue. Many ministers who invested in the entertainment industry gave him vicious eyes.

After Old Liu was lost, his mentality changed a little. Facing the bad eyes of the ministers, he snorted coldly and ignored them. He closed his eyes and said nothing. His indifferent attitude was quite proud of "to be cold and pointed at thousands of people."

The emperor looked at the reactions of the ministers one by one. He raised his eyes and looked at the last row of the squad. A smile flashed in his eyes, and said in a low tone: "Fang Zheng, I will leave this matter to you, what's the matter?"
