Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Emperor Jing's mind was in turmoil.

His face alternated between green and white.

To say that using underhanded methods on the battlefield was not a bad thing, but a good thing.

After all, as long as it could increase the survival chances of the soldiers, anything was acceptable.

But this was not a battlefield, it was a martial arts competition. Why was that Zhao Lie only targeting the lower body!

It seemed that none of the two hundred men were decent.

Originally, he wanted to select a group of them into the palace, seeing that they were all strong and sturdy.

But now, playing so disgusting in public, Emperor Jing also felt he was losing face.

Especially looking at Ren Hua, who was still trembling slightly on the ground.

"Your Majesty, do you see any shortcomings in them? I will have them rectify themselves properly," Fang Zheng Yi asked.

"This...." Emperor Jing hesitated.

There really wasn't anything to point out.

They were all patriotic people, strong and sturdy, obeyed orders, and their martial arts were in place... But not saying anything wasn't right either.

"Cough! Qing, today is a martial arts competition, these people's bodies are certainly good. However... martial arts still need to be practiced properly, some things are just minor tricks after all, the basics must be solid."

In the end, the big leader squeezed out a useless sentence for the sake of face.

As soon as this was said, the civil officials also followed up with criticism, after all, Zhao Lie played too dirty, and his fighting was not beautiful at all!

Zhang Biao disgusted everyone enough when he tricked Hei Shan Chi Lie, never expected that the people from Taoyuan County were all the same.

Immediately someone criticized: "Master Fang, today this is a martial arts competition, it should be fair and upright, how can you use such despicable means?"

Zhang Dong Xiang said with disdain: "This is the act of a petty person, the Embroidered Uniform Guard should guard His Majesty's side, doing things in a fair and upright manner, today is indeed a bit of a victory without honor."

The maternal uncle and second uncle nodded in agreement.

Playing dirty, huh! Then you have to look at the occasion!

Fang Zheng Yi showed a look of disdain, his eyes swept over everyone and said: "Everyone, they were originally trained to rescue the battlefield, where on the battlefield is there any talk of fairness, there is only life and death."

"Moreover, these are just means, how can they be called despicable?"

"When two armies face each other, are we going to honestly step into a trap set by the opponent? Today, it is Ren Hua who is not as skilled as others, he has practiced martial arts for so many years, but he doesn't even have this bit of vigilance, no wonder he suffered this defeat!"

Li Yan Song frowned and said: "No! This is a martial arts competition, not a battlefield."

Emperor Jing did not interrupt, watching them quarrel with interest.

Fang Zheng Yi smiled noncommittally: "Lord Li, this competition did not have any rules set in advance. Moreover, the Embroidered Uniform Guard shoulders the important task of protecting His Majesty and guarding the city gates."

"Once an unexpected situation occurs, what they face must be vicious and unscrupulous people, being able to adapt flexibly is the most important thing."

Li Yan Song said helplessly: "But if they all act like this in the future, in front of the public, I am afraid it will affect His Majesty's dignity."

"How can these people shoulder the important task of the Embroidered Uniform Guard in the future?"

The rest of the people nodded in agreement, Emperor Jing remained silent.

Seeing that Emperor Jing did not respond, Fang Zheng Yi said: "Your Majesty, as everyone knows, I am a straightforward person, and the people I bring out are inevitably too frank."

"They are just a group of martial men, with a low level of education. In their minds, they only think about being loyal to the country, and they don't care much about other unimportant things, so it is reasonable for them to fight ugly."

"Although what the lords said makes some sense, I still think they are too bookish, and not suitable for the management of martial men."

Emperor Jing raised his eyebrows: "Oh?朕I think what they said is not unreasonable, how are they bookish?"

Fang Zheng Yi pursed his lips and smiled: "I think the lords in the court have complicated things, considering too much, it is easy to take detours."

A group of old officials sneered: "Master Fang, then please tell us how we took a detour?"

Fang Zheng Yi did not waste any words, turned around and walked to a chiliarch, pulled out a sword, and walked quickly towards Li Yan Song.

Li Yan Song's face turned pale: "Master Fang, let's talk it over!"

The others also quickly chimed in to persuade: "Master Fang, you don't have to resort to weapons if you can't win the argument, you are also a civil official! Don't you have any sense of reason?"

Emperor Jing frowned: "Fang Zheng Yi, what are you doing?"

Fang Zheng Yi held the sword horizontally in front of Li Yan Song: "Lord Li, what is this?"

Seeing that he had no other intentions, Li Yan Song felt a little relieved and asked in confusion: "It's a sword, what's wrong?"

"What is a sword?"

"A sword is a gentleman's weapon, a just and upright soldier, an unyielding blade." Li Yan Song replied without hesitation.

"Then do you all think so too?" Fang Zheng Yi asked the others, holding the sword.

The rest of the people nodded in agreement.

Fang Zheng Yi smiled, took the sword and walked to Zhang Biao and asked: "What is this?"

"It's a sword." Zhang Biao said honestly.

"If it's not called a sword, what is it called?"

"A piece of iron."

Everyone was silent, what are you asking him for, that guy looks like he's full of wisdom.

Calling the sword a piece of iron is simply desecrating the scholar, is that the same thing, why don't you use a piece of iron to fight?

Fang Zheng Yi put away the sword and said triumphantly: "Have you all heard? This is it, martial men think directly and get to the essence."

"A sword is just a tool, but countless literati and poets have insisted on adding all kinds of principles to it."

"Martial men are also influenced by literati, some martial arts are obviously killing techniques, but they have to add all kinds of inexplicable philosophies of life to it, which deviates from the essence, which leads to many people doing things in a roundabout way."

"Fortunately, I am leading them, so that they are free from the invasion of these bad ideas, the Embroidered Uniform Guard can win battles, and can complete tasks in the first time, which is the most important thing, the rest are all trivial matters, not worth mentioning."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will train them well, and I will definitely make them worthy of the name Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

The civil officials looked at each other.

Well, we have become bad ideas, you civil official have read the books into the dog's belly!

Emperor Jing is a practical person, and naturally thinks about problems from a practical point of view, the degree of romance is a little worse.

Fang Zheng Yi had already figured out this little preference in leadership psychology!

Emperor Jing looked at Zhang Biao and smiled dumbly: "What you said makes sense, but today is just a small test, I will give you some time, and then I will have to test you well."

Fang Zheng Yi smiled and said: "I welcome Your Majesty's test at any time."

You little brat just flatter in the right place!

The civil officials no longer refuted, secretly despising Fang Zheng Yi in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, Ren Hua is dying, send him to the doctor quickly!" Finally, someone couldn't stand it and reminded him.

After he said this, several people immediately came out and carried Ren Hua away.

Many of those who were close to Ren Hua on weekdays felt sympathy.

This Master Fang is not simple, the image is deviating more and more from what I imagined.....

Emperor Jing glanced at Ren Hua who was being carried away, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

After the martial merits, it seems that he is a bit incompetent... Both rounds were lost so embarrassingly because of underestimating the enemy.

"Alright, Qing, you continue to lead them in drills, I will go and see Zhang Shi."

Fang Zheng Yi hurriedly said: "Wait a moment, Your Majesty, I have already given the imperial decree and the poison wine to Zhang Shi, no one has reported from the jail yet, I think he is writing his will."

"I have some private matters I want to talk to Your Majesty about... Can I ask Your Majesty to move?"

Private matters?

Emperor Jing nodded and walked towards a deserted place....
