Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

The news of Yan Guoan's death spread quickly throughout the capital.

Countless officials were terrified.

Wantonly killing ministers is not the act of a benevolent ruler! Now that the realm is settled and the world will be well-governed in the future, yet it hasn't been peaceful for a few years, and His Majesty has already started wielding the knife against important officials.

Wielding the knife is wielding the knife, but at least give a reason!

Is failing to satisfy you old man in governing the wards and markets a reason?

Such natural disasters exist everywhere, so why kill only Yan Guoan?

The officials were enraged, both surprised and panicked. If you had followed judicial procedures and killed him, everyone might not have reacted so strongly. But now, His Majesty is recklessly killing whoever he wants. If the butcher's knife falls on our own heads in the future, will anyone speak up for us?

In their indignation, the crowd quickly identified the suspect as Fang Zheng Yi.

There is only one possibility for His Majesty's wrongful killing of Yan Guoan: Fang Zheng Yi instigated it.

Who in the court doesn't know that there has long been animosity between the two? I didn't expect this son to be so vicious!

If the Crown Prince ascends the throne one day, wouldn't Fang Zheng Yi be able to deal with whoever he wants?

........

The next day at court, Emperor Jing sat high on the dragon throne.

A large group of courtiers knelt below the throne, while a scattered few remained standing.

Those standing were mostly important ministers and Grand Secretaries who knew the inside story, while those kneeling were mostly from the Hanlin Academy.

Leading them was Hanlin Academician Yang Yingcai.

At this moment, he knelt on the ground, his face flushed red with excitement, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, why did you wrongfully kill Yan Guoan? Are there villains constantly whispering slander in your ear?"

"This matter is of utmost importance. If there is not a reasonable explanation, I fear that the scholars of the world will lose heart!"

"If the scholars of the world become estranged, it will not be a blessing for the country!"

"The Hanlin Academy currently has one hundred and twenty members, all kneeling outside the imperial gate, imploring Your Majesty to discern the truth!"

"Slander is being used, and loyal and virtuous men are being banished. If Your Majesty cannot be close to virtuous ministers and keep villains at a distance, we are willing to kneel before Your Majesty forever!"

Li Yansong and the others sighed repeatedly. They had already privately agreed on a course of action, but some people refused to listen to advice.

Yan Guoan himself already had somewhat of an intention to become the new generation leader of the Hanlin Academy, and was very popular and knowledgeable.

Attracting many people to willingly follow him, so many people in the Hanlin Academy harbored ill feelings towards Fang Zheng Yi.

Especially the younger generation, who were full of enthusiasm and firmly believed that Fang Zheng Yi used slander to bewitch His Majesty.

He also did not expect the backlash to come so quickly...

Guo Tianyang looked at this group of people expressionlessly, with great disdain in his heart.

The court has been undergoing rapid changes at the lower levels in the past two years, and many people do not know His Majesty's methods. They have really become foolish from reading, not knowing who holds the knife!

Emperor Jing looked at the people below with amusement. Looking around, there were still many kneeling outside the hall.

Then he said: "Then... who is the villain you are talking about?"

"The villain is Fang Zheng Yi!"

Yang Yingcai did not speak, but a Hanlin from the back of the line stood up.

Emperor Jing glanced at him, and suddenly saw that there was another person standing next to him, and asked curiously: "Oh, why aren't you kneeling?"

The person standing was Hanlin Compiler Yang Fengfan.

I saw Yang Fengfan with a righteous expression, respectfully said: "Your Majesty, I believe that Your Majesty has discerning eyes and there are no villains around you. Your Majesty naturally has your reasons for doing things."

Emperor Jing smiled, this is a true villain, a traitor has emerged from the Hanlin Academy, interesting.

Fang Zheng Yi also curiously looked back, and as a result, Yang Fengfan immediately winked at him.

Since licking Fang Zheng Yi, Yang Fengfan has become stinky in the Hanlin Academy, and is ostracized every day.

However, he is not afraid of boiling water with a dead pig, as long as he hugs Fang Zheng Yi's thigh, the future is still greatly there.

Regardless of what villain or not, Yang Fengfan has seen clearly, His Majesty just favors Fang Zheng Yi, he will follow behind Fang Zheng Yi and lick him, that's definitely right!

"Fang Qing, they all say that you are a villain, what do you think?"

Fang Zheng Yi had already cursed in his heart.

Your Majesty is really a small expert in finding trouble, I also don't want Yan Guoan to die, I have been idle for a few days and inexplicably carried such a big black pot, I really can't mix in the future!

Looking up, he saw Li Yuanzhao winking, and angrily said: "I am not a villain, I think Lord Yang looks like a softie at his age!"

"? ? ?"

Softie? A group of people in the court didn't understand for a while.

After thinking for a while, they understood, and many people knelt on the ground and kept shaking.

Yang Yingcai's face was red, his eyes widened and he looked at Fang Zheng Yi hatefully.

You motherfucker are telling dirty jokes in the court, and you say you are not a villain?!

Emperor Jing glared: "Stop talking nonsense!"

"Lord Yang, when do you plan to kneel until?"

"If Your Majesty cannot be close to virtuous ministers and keep villains at a distance, we will kneel before Your Majesty forever!"

Fang Zheng Yi was pondering whether he should change his name to Fang Xianchen, when he looked up and saw Emperor Jing's cold smile, his spirits suddenly lifted.

Seeing His Majesty like this, he will definitely not compromise, I wonder what the next plan is.

Emperor Jing said: "Okay, since you beloved ministers are so willing to kneel, then kneel."

"If you are hungry, I will send the imperial kitchen to deliver food to you beloved ministers!"

I'll add some laxatives to you bastards!

Fang Zheng Yi began to get excited... A group of dog things actually dared to mess with me, if I don't mess back, am I still Fang Zheng Yi!

Anyway, I have offended them thoroughly, so I have to mess with them to death!

Just as Fang Zheng Yi was pondering how to mess with this group of people, Yang Yingcai spoke.

His voice was extremely mournful: "We are willing to die to remonstrate!"

"Die to remonstrate?" Emperor Jing got up and looked down at the courtiers: "You open your mouths to the world and close your mouths to the world, but have you ever put the people of the world in your eyes."

"People like Yan Guoan, I will kill one every time I see one."

"Now you are willing to stand up for him, I have no objections, you are willing to kneel, then kneel, this world cannot be scattered without anyone."

"It's just right to let me see the integrity and courage of you ministers, retreat!"

As soon as these words came out, many people below were shaken!

Everyone came to find trouble, but they didn't really want to kneel all the time! Kneeling for an hour would cost them their lives!

Now how to step down!

Yang Yingcai was desperate, he was not afraid of kneeling, but afraid of Emperor Jing's attitude.

If this continues, the country will not be a country!

Just as Emperor Jing was about to leave, Fang Zheng Yi stepped out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please wait!"

"Hmm? Do you still have something to say?"

Fang Zheng Yi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, kneeling like this will cause deaths!"

"The ministers in the court are all pillars of the country, if there is a problem because of this, wouldn't it affect the livelihood of the people of the world?"

Many people raised their heads in surprise to look at Fang Zheng Yi.

What's the situation, His Majesty didn't soften, but the lackey rebelled first? There's hope!

Emperor Jing was unusually disappointed to hear Fang Zheng Yi also opposing him.

Frowning, he said: "What do you mean! Are you saying that I am wrong?"

Fang Zheng Yi respectfully said: "Your Majesty! That's not what I meant, I mean kneeling on the ground is really too torturous."

"Please Your Majesty move to Dengjin Ward, the water quality is good, and the buoyancy is great, kneeling is not tiring!"

Suddenly, all the Hanlin widened their eyes and looked at him.

Fang Zheng Yi, CNM!
