Chapter 128: Behind the scenes

"Ah?" Fang Zheng was watching the excitement beautifully, but he didn't expect that the emperor would attract the focus of the excitement to him, and he was stunned for a moment.

"I decided to leave the matter of governing the Zhangtai brothel in the capital to Fang Zheng. Fang Aiqing, don't let me down." The emperor had a stern face, but the smile in his eyes could not be concealed.

When the ministers heard this hot potato, someone finally took it. They nodded in agreement and praised the emperor's wisdom in unison, but their eyes looked at Fang Zheng. There was hatred, honor, gloating, and sympathy in these eyes.

Fang Zheng was stunned. He finally finished the negotiations. He was planning to take advantage of his leisure to develop Ruyuzhai and earn some money for himself. Unexpectedly, the emperor assigned him another errand, which was a very difficult errand.

No matter how careless Fang Zheng is on weekdays, he knows that the brothels in the capital are not that simple. Anyone with a slightly larger scale has the shadow of high-ranking officials and nobles behind him. For example, the pleasure boat that Yanran redeems himself is actually the prince's property in secret. Some of these high-ranking officials and nobles hold great power, some are powerful, complicated, and extremely complicated, which affects the overall situation. The emperor sent him to manage the brothels. Isn't this obvious that he offended the entire Chinese officialdom? This matter cannot be accepted!

"Emperor! I'm not wronged!" Fang Zheng stepped out of the court again, and without saying a word, he bowed.

"What are you wrong?" the emperor asked in confusion.

"Ah? Cough, I'm wrong." Master Fang was used to calling for justice without asking, and then he made up his expression. Fang Zheng looked desperate with the arrival of the doomsday, and lay on the ground and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty! I'm afraid, I'm afraid! Please take back my fate!"

The emperor frowned and said, "Why?"

Fang Zheng said seriously: "I am still young and have not experienced enough. I am afraid that I will betray the emperor's entrusted, so I ask the emperor to take back his life..."

In a blink of an eye, he saw the standing of Shangshu Pan with his eyes closed. Fang Zheng's eyes turned, and suddenly he was blessed to his heart and pointed at Shangshu Pan and said, "Or it's okay to change people. Well, I feel that Shangshu Pan of the Ministry of Personnel is highly respected and righteous. If the emperor ordered Shangshu Pan to manage the brothels in the capital, it would definitely make those clients who described as vulgarity run naked. Shangshu Pan is invincible and unified the brothels..."

When Pan Shangshu heard this, he was furious and stared at Fang Zheng angrily. He was so angry that his whole body was trembling. He opened his mouth and wanted to speak. However, after a quick glance at the emperor, Pan Shangshu calmed down, put his hands in his sleeves, smiled slightly, closed his eyes again, and said nothing. His cultivation was so high that he had the state of "spitting his face and fucking himself".

The emperor also glanced at Shangshu Pan, and saw that he was angry and did not speak out, a trace of gloom flashed in the emperor's eyes.

A silent eye battle between the king and the minister was staged in the court. Fang Zheng, who was lying on the ground, was still talking nonsense: "...Pan Shangshu is so wise and walks with wind. Weichen guessed that Pan Shangshu was not capable of being a peerless martial arts. Not to mention a few brothel thugs, it was no problem to maintain world peace. Therefore, Weichen believed that Pan Shangshu was the best candidate to manage brothels..."

"Stop!" The emperor couldn't help but hear it and said furiously: "Nonsense! Fang Zheng, you are too presumptuous!"

After the emperor scolded this sentence, more than a dozen censors in the court came out together and knelt down and said, "I am impeaching Fang Zheng, the attendant of the Right Cavalry, to be disrespectful to the front and lies, and ask the emperor to punish him!"

Fang Zheng was shocked, why did I disrespect? What is the crime of lying?

The emperor glanced at the censors coldly and said in a deep voice: "I will decide if you retreat."

Then the emperor looked at Fang Zheng and said, "Fang Zheng, you are not long ago, you are young and don't understand the rules, so sometimes even if you make a little trouble, I have never cured your crime. But there is one thing you want to remember for me that this is the Golden Palace, and I am the emperor of the current dynasty! What the emperor said in the Golden Palace is for the subjects of the world. Every word and every word cannot be changed. My decree is the final decision. If you object to shirk responsibility, it is to resist the order! Do you understand?" The emperor said in the end and spoke harshly, almost yelling.

Before Fang Zheng could answer, the emperor glared at him fiercely, brushed his sleeves, and said coldly: "Retreat!"

The ministers shouted long live, and they all dispersed, leaving only Fang Zheng, standing in the empty Golden Palace, trance.

----------------------------

In the imperial study room.

Fang Zheng knelt on the ground with a plop, hugged the emperor's legs regardless of the consequences, crying so hard that he snot and tears, looking extremely miserable.

"Emperor! Your Majesty! You can't treat me like this! I have made merits and won awards for our Huachao. I am the winner of the honorary title of Model Worker in China this year... By the way, I am still your son-in-law. Have you forgotten? Princess Changping is my future wife! Father-in-law! My father-in-law! Please take back my life. I really don't dare to take that job. You don't want to see your beloved son-in-law being shot on the wall for no reason, right? Father-in-law..."

The emperor looked at Fang Zheng who was lying on the ground and crying miserably, raised his legs and kicked Fang Zheng gently on the butt, and said angrily: "Get up, no matter how similar he acts, I won't take it seriously."

Fang Zheng still cried loudly, his hands were still pounding on the scarlet carpet in the imperial study room. The pain and despair made those who heard it sad, and those who saw it burst into tears.

The emperor gradually felt impatient and said in a deep voice: "Get up and talk well, and pretend I will order someone to throw you out."

Fang Zheng's crying stopped, he stood up quickly and patted the official uniform as if nothing had happened. He said in a very calm voice: "Yes."

The emperor glared at him fiercely: "I knew you were pretending."

Fang Zheng said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, the errand you said is really hard to handle. It offends people very much. If the empress takes it, it will offend the entire Hua Dynasty officialdom. Your Majesty, aren't you not dealing with Pan Shangshu? How great is it to let him do this..."

The emperor said angrily: "Shut up! Don't bargain with me anymore. Have you forgotten what I said in the Golden Palace? What I have decided cannot be changed, and no one can!"

I really can't figure out why the emperor must let me do this offensive thing. Fang Zheng thought secretly, could it be that what I did recently made the emperor very upset, so he deliberately took revenge on me?

Knowing that this matter could not be avoided, Fang Zheng said helplessly: "Yes, but, Your Majesty, can I ask you for an imperial edict? This way I can suppress the situation. Otherwise, what if others are not convinced when Weisty is doing things?"

The emperor nodded and said, "Of course the imperial edict will be given to you. If the name is not correct, the words will not be smooth."

Fang Zheng stopped the emperor who was about to write the imperial edict and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't have to worry too much. You just need to write four words. I will make it a flag when I go back and make it a flag. I will definitely be invincible and will be able to defeat it, hehe."

…………

Fang Zheng solemnly put the imperial edict in his arms. The emperor said earnestly: "Fang Zheng, you must do this with your heart. The brothels in the capital have always been tainted with dirt. I strongly advocated that you will do this in the court, which is of profound meaning. Go back and think about it carefully. In the future, I don't want to make any clear decisions. You should use your brain."

Fang Zhenggong claimed that it was.

"Fang Zheng." The emperor called out to him who was about to leave the door.

Fang Zheng turned around and said, "I am here."

The emperor picked up the pen and wrote something on the dragon's desk, and said in a low voice without raising his head: "Whatever you do in the future, you must clean it up, including without illness. Humph! Don't mention it again, don't talk about it anymore, the name is so vulgar, it is extremely stupid!"

"Ah?" Fang Zheng was as if he was poured into a basin of cold water on his head, and his whole body was cold.

"You, you...how do you know..." Fang Zheng stammered, and as soon as he said something, he felt that he was speechless. Fang Zheng quickly put on a sad expression with a deeper grievance than the sea, knelt down and shouted: "...Prince! The wronged minister..."

Before the emperor could finish his injustice, he raised his head and sneered and interrupted him: "You think this matter is done secretly, so you hide it from the world? I have told you before that as long as I want to know about the things in this world, nothing can be hidden from my eyes. Do you forget it? Or do you think I am just bragging?"

Seeing that he could not deny it, Fang Zheng had to knock his head deep on the ground and remained silent. His mind was running rapidly. No wonder this was strange. The emperor also got involved for a long time. But what did he meant just now? Should he cure me for the crime, or... teach me a lesson to do something bad next time and do it more perfectly? How did the emperor get involved in this matter?

Fang Zheng's mind was full of confusion and he didn't know whether to defend himself or admit his mistake.

The emperor said calmly: "This time you have learned your lesson, and you can even use the trick of using a knife to kill people. It seems that you also know the weight of the word "King Law". Unfortunately, you haven't learned to clean up the aftermath. If I hadn't learned about this in advance and had some clues been destroyed, you would have been arrested by Chen Jiulin and thrown into the prison. Humph, do you really think the constables in Jinling Mansion are having a good meal? Will they not be able to find out such an obvious thing?"

Fang Zheng suddenly realized, and then smiled and said with a happy smile: "It turns out that the emperor and I are in the same group. No wonder Weichen thinks that this matter is like a helping god..."

The emperor said angrily: "Don't be rude! Don't get me together with you, a thief! Humph! Whatever I do must have my reason for me. Do you think I'm messing around like you?"

Fang Zheng thought quickly in his mind, looked at the emperor's face, and asked carefully: "Your Majesty... I dared to ask, "That Young Master Liu... Then what, did you castrate him?"

Now Fang Zheng figured it out that this was the capital city, under the feet of the emperor, the thugs in the brothel could not be so bold. They dared to castrate others after beating someone. They must have beaten Master Liu and threw him on the shore, and the emperor sent someone to castrate him again. Well, yes, that must be the case!

After thinking it through, Fang Zheng couldn't help but admire the emperor for no reason. Otherwise, why is it the emperor? It's better to make secret tricks than ordinary people, and it's not easy to treat the mastermind behind it.

Fang Zheng was filled with a flattering smile and flattered: "I didn't expect that the emperor was not only good at governing the country, but also a good eunuch..."
