Fang Zheng was finally driven out of the imperial study by the emperor. The wine stolen from the two skins was also thrown out of the study. Finally, the emperor threw a cold sentence: "The patriots do not drink the water of the stolen spring."

Fang Zheng was stunned and shouted outside the study at the top of his throat for a long time: "Your Majesty, that's not spring water, it's wine... What kind of spring is the thief spring?"

The gate of the Imperial Study Room was closed with no reply inside. Fang Zheng picked up the skin thrown at the door with heartache, walked out in disappointment, and muttered as he walked: "It's so pretentious. I've drunk more than half of it. Now you told me again why don't you drink the water from the thief spring? Isn't it going to save me if I say that earlier..."

As he was about to reach the palace gate, a hand came from an incredible angle, and Qizhuo grabbed Fang Zheng's ear with great force.

"Ah-Who? If I don't let go, I'll bite me!" Fang Zheng shouted in pain.

"You bastard! Where have you been dead these days? I don't say it, come and see me!" His voice was delicate, but his words were as vulgar as a pure man who ran around the world.

You don’t need to look at it and you will know that this person is Princess Changping, the future wife of Master Fang.

"Let go first! Damn! Someone is watching, my face is lost to you, your husband." Fang Zheng shouted.

Changping turned his head and saw the imperial guards guarding the palace gate looking at them with curious and joking eyes. Changping's face turned red and quickly let go of his hands. Then he glared at his pretty eyes and said viciously: "What are you looking at! Look at me again, I've dug up your eyes!"

The soldiers stood like pine trees, their eyes not squinting.

Changping pulled Fang Zheng's sleeve and walked into the palace, walked to a place where no one was left, then stopped, turned around and stared at Fang Zheng and said, "Say! I was imprisoned by my father for so long, why don't you come to see me?"

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Your Highness Princess, we will get married in a few days. You don't need to be so anxious, right? Am I busy with our marriage these days..."

Changping said suspiciously: "Really? Have you ever had sex with other women?"

"No! Absolutely not!" Fang Zheng made a serious promise, then smiled and came to Changping and said, "...Your husband, I have been raising my energy recently, waiting for our wedding night. What's the saying? I'll dedicate my youth to you..."

Changping blushed and cursed with a smile: "Go to die! Do I think I'm interested? Tell me, did Sister Feng seduce you after I left that day?"

Fang Zheng said strangely: "I'm really puzzled. Yanran and Xiaolu can accept it. Why do you always dislike Sister Feng? Did she provoke you?"

Changping snorted coldly, "I just don't like her! I'm so angry when I look at her charming look. I always glance at you with my eyes straight, as if I want to hook your soul, hum!"

It seems that the desire to accept Feng Jie into the harem is a long way to go. The future young lady of the Fang family disagreed. The father and mother definitely disagreed with her son marrying a widow. Yanran and Xiao Lu may not object, but they obviously have no say. Even Feng Jie herself may not be willing to enter the door and be scolded by others. This matter is a bit difficult...

Fang Zheng shook his head in distress, family affairs and national affairs in the world, everything is upset!

Changping glanced at him and said aggrievedly: "What's wrong? I just said a few words to her and you're unhappy? You won't be really seduced by her, right?"

Fang Zheng said bitterly: "To be honest, I was actually seducing her, and it failed..."

“………”

Fang Zheng, who enjoyed a big feast, was kicked out of the palace gate by Changping and threw out viciously: "Be honest in the next few days, and wait to marry me to pass by! Let me know that you are going to find that fox charmer, I will pinch you to death!"

Then, under the sympathetic gaze of the imperial soldiers, the heavy and thick palace gate slammed.

Fang Zheng was so angry that he rushed forward and kicked the palace gate hard, and said something very unthreatening and ruthless: "...Don't blame me for criticizing you if you do this next time!"

He patted the footprints on his butt in disappointment, and Fang Zheng smiled at the imperial guards guarding the palace gate, and said stubbornly: "...This girl will not have a memory if she doesn't clean up for a day."

The soldiers of the imperial guards smiled and nodded in agreement: "Understand understand..."

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

In the next few days, Fang's mansion fell into chaos.

The day of marrying Princess Changping is getting closer and closer, and many preparations must be done in advance. The Ministry of Rites sent several officials to the Fang Mansion to guide the preparations of the Fang family in order to meet the standards for the royal family to marry daughters. In this country that adheres to etiquette, there are strict procedures for marriage and funerals, and no details are allowed to be wrong.

At the same time, the news that the Fang family was about to marry His Royal Highness the Princess spread throughout the capital and became the hottest topic.

There was not a thing that the royal family gave the princess a marriage to the ministers before. After all, all princesses had to marry, and the whole world's royal family was the largest, so princesses were generally called "marriage". However, in the past, the royal family had intermarried with those aristocratic families or major families who had served for generations, and the Fang family had been doing business for generations. It was only in Fang Zheng's generation that he had a fifth-rank official. In terms of origin, Fang Zheng was just a businessman with a lower status than a civilian. The emperor was willing to marry the princess to him. It has to be said that this person was blessed with the holy family and was unparalleled.

There are many idle people in the capital. When it comes to this hot topic, it naturally leads to many other things, such as Fang Zheng's nickname "Tai Sui" before, how he was a bastard before he became an official, relying on his father's wealth and integrity, bullying men and women, eating, drinking, whore and gambling, and how he later became enlightened, possessing stars in the sky, making many extraordinary achievements for the country, etc., which is so exaggerated and amazing.

The Fang family was originally the richest man in the Chinese Dynasty. Now that the Fang family is about to become a royal relative, he has since become a family family. The major businesses in the capital and officials at all levels are very aware of the current affairs and come to visit and congratulate him. Mr. Fang was so happy that he disappeared. The wrinkles on his old face have not yet relaxed. He laughed at the night and socialized, which made Mrs. Fang so angry.

One night two days before the marriage, a guest was picked up from the small door of the Fang family's backyard. Fang Zheng greeted him in person with a serious expression and turned away the servants, which seemed very mysterious.

The guest was Mr. Wu. After being picked up by Fang Zheng, he talked with Fang Zheng in the wing room of the courtyard for nearly two hours. The killer brother was standing outside and cautious. No one was allowed to get close to him. No one knew the specific content of his conversation with Fang Zheng.

After Mr. Wu left, many people entered Fang Zheng's courtyard one after another, all of whom were members of the shadow organization. They were led by Wen Sen. After listening to Fang Zheng's arrangement respectfully, they responded to their orders, and then under the cover of night, they each rushed to different places.

As the shadows of his subordinates disappeared under the night, Fang Zheng's eyes were filled with a rare anxiety.

The wind was blowing, it was late autumn, and the cold air was so cold that Fang Zheng stood in the yard and sighed heavily.

"Are you scared?" The killer brother seemed to be able to see through his heart at a glance.

Fang Zheng honestly admitted: "Yes, I'm really scared."

"Have you arranged everything? What are you still afraid of?" Fang Zheng did not hide the rebellion of Pan Shangshu.

Fang Zheng smiled bitterly. He didn't know whether this arrangement was useful or not, so he could only hope that the emperor had other preparations.

Seeing Fang Zheng silent, the killer brother hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I didn't want to get involved in these things, but... I think I can protect you from being killed."

Fang Zheng's eyes turned red in an instant. He knew the killer brother for so long, and finally heard him say something warm. Fang Zheng felt that human nature was still beautiful. After getting along with each other for a long time, he still had some feelings. Think about the snobbish face of the killer brother who only recognized money but not people. Look at the humanized side of the killer brother now, how much changes have changed. So, in general, in this world, the beautiful side is always much more than the ugly side. Even the killer brother who is cold-hearted and only recognized money can change it. What else can't be changed?

He held the killer brother's hand vigorously, and Fang Zheng was so moved that he burst into tears: "I won't say anything... The wind knows the strong grass, and it will be seen from time to time..."

The killer brother curled his lips with a smile, shook Fang Zheng's hand away, and said coolly: "...It is difficult to protect you, so the price is five times higher."

“…………”

Things in this world are quite complicated. Human nature is a thing, hey, I can’t explain it clearly for a while, it’s not that simple anyway...

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

The Fang family was preparing for the wedding happily, and Fang Zheng was not idle either, but it had nothing to do with the wedding. He didn't understand this and couldn't help him even if he wanted to help. He has done a lot in the past few days, and it is rare to do a few serious things seriously.

In the past few days, he visited many officials in the court, including Wei Chengde, Minister of War, Yang Duqing, Minister of Rites, Liu Yuelin, Minister of Revenue, and officials from the Qingliu school outside the Pan Dang in the court.

Then he ran between the newly built camp and the palace, busy and unhooked. His attitude and serious expression made people wonder if this guy was possessed by a ghost, and when did he see him being so serious about the government affairs? If a man is about to get married, he will completely change his appearance and look brand new?

Even Yanran didn't quite understand why he was so busy recently. On a night after venting passion, Yanran leaned softly in his arms and panted and asked him the reason.

Fang Zheng could only smile bitterly, thinking I was willing to work so tired? I was fucking trying to save my life for the whole family. If I don’t work hard, we will have to finish playing in a few days. There is no hope for three wives and four concubines, and wealth and glory.

The weather in the capital is gloomy late in the morning, and it is getting colder and colder. If the people in the city were not for their livelihood, no one would want to go out in this gloomy and stuffy weather. There were fewer people setting up stalls on the streets to do business, and pedestrians came and went in a hurry. When they met acquaintances, they just bowed their hands and passed by without even a greeting.

Somehow, the past two days, there were suddenly more soldiers guarding the four gates of the capital, and the interrogation of the people entering and leaving the city was much stricter than before. The constables who patrol the city had already been replaced by soldiers, and they brought the crossbows that were only allowed to be hung during the war. Teams of sergeants with cold expressions patrolling the city were fully armed. How could ordinary people not be nervous?

A thick shadow enveloped the people. First, they had never heard of foreign enemies invading, second, they had never heard of some rebellion, why did the capital start to be heavily guarded for no reason? Judging from this situation, it was obvious that war was going to be fought. People who were used to living comfortably and comfortably under the feet of the emperor were confused in the dull atmosphere. They suddenly felt the terribleness of war. What was even more terrifying was that they did not know who the Chinese army was going to fight and what kind of opponent they were going to face.

Just as the people were frightened by the sudden increase in the army in the capital, a notice issued from the palace escalated the tension in the capital again.

"Imperial: Chen Jiulin, the governor of Jinling, was ineffective, resulting in frequent murders in the city, rampant thieves and panic in the people. Now, he issued a special order to dismiss the position of Jinling Prefecture, and was sent to the Tianzhu, and the Ministry of Justice to question the crimes, and Dali Temple was held for trial. On that day, the curfew was imposed within the four gates of the capital city at one time and at three o'clock in the fifth o'clock in the morning. Regardless of officials and people in the city, those who commit crimes at night will be whipped and then imprisoned. Impressed this."

The announcement was issued, as if a huge rock was thrown into a calm lake, and everyone in the capital was in panic. The people closed their doors and talked.

"Murder cases occur frequently, thieves are rampant?... Not that serious, right? We stay in the capital every day, and I have never heard of any murders. The thieves have not even seen them."

"Yes, if the world is really difficult, but it is not so evil in the announcement, right? I'll pay the curfew well. We can't visit each other at night in the future. There has been no curfew in our capital for decades. In the beginning of spring, the Turkic army went south and even went to several cities. It was almost time to reach the capital. The emperor did not issue a curfew..."

"What do you know? There is article in this notice. The prefect Chen was withdrawn. What kind of murder case or thief is just an excuse for the people to show. I guess something big might happen in the court recently. Didn't you see the soldiers all over the city? It seems that this is going to fight..."

"Ah? Really? What should we do? We are all people who are responsible."

"People in troubled times have their lives like straw dogs. Let's live well. We shouldn't worry about it and think less."

"well……"

Even if the people were so panicked, the officials in the capital were even more panicked all day long.

Those who can be an official in the capital are not simple characters. They saw something strange at first glance when the notice issued by the emperor. It is precisely because of this that they feel panic.

The so-called "murder case" and "thieves" are naturally an excuse to deceive people with discerning eyes. The key is what the emperor's intention is behind this announcement, to mobilize troops into the city, impose a curfew, and remove Chen Jiulin from his post and investigate. In the eyes of some officials who know what they know, the emperor's series of actions showed an attitude that was enough to shock all officials in the court.

The emperor, you are going to take action against Shangshu Pan.

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

The morning court the next day after the announcement was announced was destined to be a day that made the ministers dizzy.

As usual, after the mountain shouts, the ministers were scheduled to stand up. Due to the tense atmosphere in the capital city recently and the clouds were covered with clouds, the ministers were worried. So when the little yellow gate beside the emperor held a whisk in his hand and shouted loudly, "If you have something to report, you will leave the court if you have nothing to do", none of the ministers came to report. They had a premonition that the protagonist had another person in today's morning court.

Yes, the protagonist does have someone else.

After waiting for a long time, Fang Zheng, who lived up to expectations, came out and knelt down with a calm expression and said, "I have the right to report it."

The emperor's cold voice came from afar: "Authentication."

Fang Zheng looked at the empty seat at the front of the Wenchen train, and then smiled.

That position is from Shangshu Pan. Now, Shangshu Pan resigned from the court on the grounds of being seriously ill and was at ease to recuperate at home. Therefore, his position in the court class has been empty. No minister dared to stand in that position. That was the position where Shangshu Pan had been struggling in the court for more than 30 years before he stood up.

Fang Zheng withdrew his gaze and lowered his head and said respectfully: "I impeached the prince's grand sage, the Minister of Personnel, and the Duke of Chengguo Pan Wenyuan."

Pan Wenyuan is the name of Shangshu Pan, which has not been mentioned for many years. All the civil and military officials in the court called him Shangshu Pan, Grandmaster Pan, Grandmaster Pan, and Old Master, or directly called him mentor. Even the emperor called him "Lao Shangshu" and never called him directly.

Fang Zheng said this, and the civil and military officials in the court were shocked.

In court games, they have always been behind the scenes and secretly instructed. There is a huge grudge between ministers, and they still maintain a harmonious atmosphere on the surface, acting for the emperor, acting for other ministers, or even acting for opponents. There are few people who break up and impeach directly in the Golden Palace. If any minister does this, there are only two possibilities: one is to lose his mind, and the other is that he has obtained conclusive evidence and is confident in putting the charges on the impeached person, otherwise no one will do this.

Fang Zheng was only a fifth-rank free official, but the one he impeached was Shangshu Pan, who had been in charge of the Ministry of Personnel for 30 years, called the wind and rain in the court, covered the sky with one hand, and was also the prince's mentor.

The ministers looked at each other, all with the same thought in their hearts. Is this kid crazy? Or is this a signal that the emperor wants to attack Pan Shangshu?

The Golden Palace was silent, and the ministers were filled with great gratitude and did not dare to show off, waiting for the next development.

After a long time, the emperor's voice came from afar: "Fang Aiqing is here in detail."

Fang Zheng took out a memorial from his sleeve, unfolded it in front of the ministers, and read it word by word: "... The crime of impeachment of Pan Wenyuan for ten. One, deceiving the king and noting the superiors, two, framed loyalty and kindness, three, greedy and bribery, four, forming cliques for personal gain, five, making ill-gotten plots..."
