Royal Gold Magistrate

Zhou Hong leaned against the table slumped, looked at Zhou Maoxue, and said, "Fang Zhengyi is not as simple as you think."

"He is His Majesty's confidant, and he is like a brother to the prince, not to mention holding the Jinyiwei in his hand, which is the lifeblood of everyone."

Zhou Maoxue smiled disdainfully: "When my father was young, he boasted that he dared to face the Holy Majesty, but now he is afraid of Fang Zhengyi because of his power. Isn't it a bit too timid?"

Zhou Hong closed his eyes slowly, he couldn't help but feel anger brewing in his chest, but he still suppressed his temper: "Fear? As father, a civil servant, he dared to fight with His Majesty on the battlefield back then, so why would he be afraid of power?"

"When it comes to power, being a father may not be smaller than Fang Zheng's. What's smaller is your vision! You can't see the intricacies of the court, and you can't see the general trend of the world!"

"Fang Zhengyi is an outstanding person in the world. I have traveled all over Dajingtian, south and sea, and I have never seen such a genius."

"Entered the court at the age of less than 30 and became an official. He has repeatedly made outstanding achievements. Just one of them is enough to make him go down in history forever. He still has a long way to go in the future. How can you fight against such a person!"

Zhou Maoxue poked his neck and said, "Repeatedly made extraordinary achievements? Could it be that father is making excuses for himself, down the stairs?"

"Presumptuous!" Zhou Hong yelled, took his crutches and directly pestered the ground, then opened his eyes wide and said.

"People in the world are ignorant and forgetful, and can't see through the truth. It's in vain for you to study since childhood!"

"Dajing's papermaking and grain are all related to Fang Zhengyi. His voyages to the West and the building of trains are all contributed by him. Don't you have eyes!"

"Folk people, when they first saw the train mouth claiming a miracle, but it took only two or three months to take it as usual, and even dismissed it. How is your vision different from those folk foolish men and women?"

Leaning on crutches, Zhou Hong paced slowly.

"Being away all the time as a father, I have indulged you for too many years. I didn't expect that you still haven't made any progress. You only know that Feiying is a lackey and hangs out with that bunch of idlers."

"I don't dare to say all of this great landscape, at least I have seen [-]% or [-]% of it. In the past, although it could not be said that starvation was everywhere, most of the people were also suffering from hunger and cold. An ordinary farmhouse had a piece of clothes made of pigskin. Sun Sandai changed clothes, do you know how hard and cold the clothes are?"

"But now they can have enough food and change into new clothes, it's all thanks to Fang Zhengyi."

Zhou Maoxue was stunned in place, recalling the life in the factory, the workers in the factory chatted about their lives, and their faces gradually turned red.

Zhou Hong continued: "Going to the Western Seas and saving countless people from the national treasury is another contribution. What you don't know is that the imperial court kept secret events, conquering the Kingdom of Jin and harvesting large tracts of land and pastures. He also contributed a lot to it. .”

"It's such an important minister of the country, do you dare to confront him face to face?"

Seeing that he remained silent, Zhou Hong frowned.

"That's right, I have to admit that there are many people who have no vision like you in the imperial court. Especially the Hanlin Academy. Although the old man was born in the Hanlin, it is just a group of corrupt scholars who sit around and talk about righteousness. The idea is not in line with this one. It is useless for Fangzheng to make [-] pieces of credit."

"But so what? For Chaozhong now, no matter whether you like Fang Zhengyi or hate Fang Zhengyi, you can't fight against Fang Zhengyi!"

"Why?" Zhou Maoxue looked up in surprise.

He knew that Fang Zhengyi was powerful, but he never thought that a single person could be so powerful that the entire imperial court would not dare to offend him.

Zhou Hong's tone became meaningful: "Because he changed the scene."

"Since the appearance of the train, everything has changed. He has explored a road that no one else has ever thought of. In the eyes of scholars, it was a road that was once a miracle."

"Everyone can see the future potential of railway trains, and all of this stems from Eastern Suburb University and science."

"He created a dream for the imperial court, a dream that can be realized. Once the goal is realized, it will be enough to make the entire imperial court shine through the ages, and create a prosperous age that the predecessors could not even imagine. Whoever stands in the way, His Majesty will be the first to take action He sweeps."

"Just because of an uncertain future?" Zhou Maoxue couldn't believe it.

"You can't tell?" Zhou Hong snorted, and then sighed, "You can tell, you can't tell, as long as people's hearts want it, it is true."

"However, this illusory concept alone cannot convince everyone in the court, and Fangzheng does not stop at words."

"There are huge profits to be made from the railway, and the court is speculating that Fang Zhengyi can take advantage of it to make a fortune. But the facts are unexpected. Instead of profiting from it, he gave the opportunity to the court, and countless courtiers benefited from it. "

"Later, the capital's stock exchange was established, and all the forces in the court bowed their heads to join the game."

"But later everyone discovered that there was Fang Zhengyi behind the exchange. Don't you understand? Fang Zhengyi almost dragged everyone onto the warship. If Fangzheng Yi falls, no one will benefit from it."

"Even if you hate him, you can't oppose him. Even if your personal ideas don't agree with him, the interests of the family will push him to follow Fang Zhengyi."

"Fang Zhengyi has done so many great things in the court, and none of them are for self-interest. If you don't have desires, you can be strong. He is already a person without weaknesses."

As Zhou Hong spoke, he threw the two articles in his hand at Zhou Maoxue's face: "It's only you, a bunch of rotten folk who don't know how to live or die, who write nonsense articles. What kind of moral education are you talking about?!"

Looking at the two articles scattered on the ground, Zhou Maoxue's eyes twitched twice: "Is it wrong for my son to talk about morality and education?"

"The Dao is abolished, but there is benevolence and righteousness. The country advocates the rule of virtue, education, and the study of sages, because the country's chronic diseases cannot be solved! It can only educate the people and make them calm and obedient. The less you have, the more you talk about it! Now the problem is solved, the Dao Zili, do you think the courtiers will read the rubbish you wrote!" Zhou Hong retorted loudly.

"Furthermore, Fang Zhengyi is constantly active in the court and invites people to Dongjiao University to learn new knowledge. More and more people's ideas have been changed by him and the reality, and they can't go back!"

Zhou Maoxue frowned, not daring to refute.

Seeing this, Zhou Hong sneered: "Aren't you convinced? Well, even if you don't talk about it for your father, let's talk about something you can understand."

"Right now, Mr. Li is very old, and he won't be able to sit in that seat for a few years. Do you know who will be awarded the title of Grand Scholar?"

Zhou Maoxue looked strange: "Could it be Fang Zhengyi."

"That's right, the DPRK and China agree that only he is the most likely."

"Impossible, non-Hanlin is not allowed to join the cabinet, he is not from the Hanlin, how can he be a bachelor?" Zhou Maoxue said in surprise.

Zhou Hong shook his head: "Those are not rules on paper, and the rules are all set by people. Those who are capable will not be bound by the rules."

"Mr. Li quit the cabinet. If it's Fangzheng's turn, with Jin Yiwei in hand, he will be named a great scholar."

"When the prince ascends the throne in the future, he will be the first well-deserved prime minister of my Dajing dynasty!"
