Chapter 1482 Fei Tian’s counterattack moment
I must have heard wrongly, or His Majesty was joking, ridiculing Fei Tian in public and then severely punishing him. No matter what, it is impossible to turn him into the king of gambling.
The bad thing about this incident is not that gambling at the bank attracted many officials to participate, but that the gambling was set up by His Majesty. From the perspective of etiquette and law, this is the greatest disrespect and offense, and a heinous crime. This is also the confidence of Ji Mingchang and others.
The crimes Fei Tian committed cannot be pardoned even during a general amnesty.
But now he is confused. How could His Majesty say such a thing?
Everyone was shocked. Gong Liangyu and others had more contact with Guan Ning and knew that His Majesty was not a person who followed the rules and obeyed etiquette. He should not punish Fei Tian, but he couldn't really be crowned the king of gambling, right?
The atmosphere in Fengtian Hall was silent.
Guan Ning smiled again and said, "I'm not joking, I'm serious. Fei Tian's move deserves the title of King of Gamblers."
This is confirmed!
Fei Tian was also confused. Didn't His Majesty have a problem with him? How come there was such a shocking reversal?
Happiness came so suddenly that it was hard for him to react!
Gambler!
Your Majesty’s personally appointed gambling king!
If it weren't for being in Fengtian Hall, Fei Tian would really jump up with excitement. He really likes gambling, but not to win money, but to enjoy the process. This is probably a kind of refreshing feeling that everyone is drunk and I am alone.
There is a strong sense of satisfaction in watching others become angry and upset because they didn't win.
This is what he pursues. He never dared to think of being personally sealed by His Majesty, but now it has come true. Isn't this exactly what he dreamed of?
calm!
Fei Tian tried his best to calm down. He looked at the astonished expressions of Ji Mingchang and others and sneered inwardly.
The time for counterattack has arrived!
Fei Tian stood up and said loudly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I did set up a bet with Your Majesty and Concubine Yan, but what I did was not a bet, but to raise military expenses for Daning!"
Hearing this, everyone was confused.
Raising military funds for Daning?
Ji Mingchang and others' expressions changed drastically. They already knew what Fei Tian was going to do?
"Since the beginning of the war, there has been a huge gap in our military's military expenditure. As Minister of War, I am really overwhelmed. But where can I get the money?"
Fei Tian said: "I thought about it for a moment. The people are poor and cannot be exploited. They can only obtain it from the court officials. On the one hand, it can obtain military expenses, and on the other hand, it can also ease the tense atmosphere of the war..."
He obviously did something bad, but he actually said it was a great achievement.
And Fei Tian also came up with a trump card.
"I will take out all the gambling funds and use them all for military expenses. Some of them have been allocated to various armies."
Counterattack time!
Ji Mingchang and others were trembling physically and mentally. They never expected that Fei Tian was not greedy at all and wanted to take out all the money.
Although I have not seen the ledger, according to calculations, this gambling amount is by no means a small amount.
Mr. Fei is so courageous!
Although this is the smart thing to do without being tempted when faced with such a large amount of money, can you spend it with peace of mind by keeping this money?
"How many?"
Guan Ning was also very curious, but there was no surprise that Fei Tian wanted to take out all the money.
Fei Tian was not an ordinary person. What really stood out was not this gambling game, but the fact that he defrauded a lot of money from Liang Guoye.
Guan Ning is not a pedantic person, and he doesn't care whether he offends or not. He acts based on his preference.
"The specific amount has not been calculated yet because some people refuse to admit it!"
Fei Tian said the last three words very clearly. Didn't you say that you want me to carry His Majesty out to demand payment?
Now it’s as you wish!
The gambling money has turned into military expenses. He is ordered to collect debts. Who dares not to pay?
Ji Mingchang and others looked ashen. Who would have thought that Fei Tian was not defeated, but instead felt more confident.
It's already too late to give money. I've offended Mr. Fei. How can I still be okay?
After the court meeting, I immediately went back to sell my house and land, and I had to raise the money no matter what.
Many people have this idea.
Guan Ning couldn't deny it, and he said: "Since I love you so much, the court cannot refuse. After all, military expenses are tight."
He paused and continued: "I also bet a few hundred taels on you before, but I won the bet, so my principal and winnings were all used as military expenses."
This statement once again shocked everyone.
His Majesty also participated, which made several old Confucian scholars who were originally prepared to give advice in the name of etiquette and law retreat.
It's all in vain.
At this moment Pang Qingyun also stood up.
"I also won the bet and won some money. I am also willing to use the principal and income for military expenses."
There is His Majesty in front and a large military aircraft behind.
If you still don't know what's interesting at this point, are you looking for trouble?
As a result, the atmosphere in Fengtian Hall immediately changed. Things like participating in gambling were brought out openly, but it was a kind of glorious accident.
The gambling funds turned into military expenses, which was equivalent to them all contributing to the war.
"good!"
Guan Ning said: "I didn't expect you all to be so aware of the overall situation and consider the overall situation. How can our small family survive without you?"
"I will remember you, and the court will also remember you!"
"I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty!"
The atmosphere became quite harmonious, with only a few people sitting on the wax, which made it feel extremely twisted.
"Cheng Jing."
"The slave is here."
"Let the Neiji Bureau make a plaque for Daning Gambling King and send it to Fei Mansion."
Not only was the title awarded verbally, there was also an imperial plaque.
At this time, people felt a sense of jealousy in their hearts. Mr. Fei was about to become prosperous. This was the real way to seek wealth and honor in a dangerous situation. There was no point in refusing to accept it. People had to spend money to get it.
Of course, I have to meet someone like His Majesty.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
Fei Tian was so excited that he almost jumped up. He had been crowned king, and the gambling king was also a king!
Who can do anything to me?
Who can say otherwise?
Guan Ning couldn't help but laugh, and the meeting ended in this atmosphere.
The situation immediately changed. Before going to court, there was no one around Fei Tian, but now everyone gathered around him.
This is officialdom, this is reality.
"Master Fei, it was our fault earlier. We will go back and collect enough money for you."
Ji Mingchang and others bowed their knees.
"I have offended Mr. Fei by being too short-sighted. I hope you will forgive me."
Of course they are afraid.
Now it's not a matter of money. They may not even be able to keep their official positions. It would be too easy for a cabinet minister to deal with them.
"There will be interest for late payment. You all lost. I have three hundred taels. After including the interest, you should give me six hundred taels."
"Six hundred taels?"
"Master Fei, how can you take this out?"
Six hundred taels is not a small amount, and they have trouble even collecting three hundred taels.
"What? Do you have any opinions?"
Fei Tian said calmly: "Are you waiting for me to go to your house to collect debts with the plaque given by the emperor?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, let's find a way."
Ji Mingchang and others did not dare to refute. Now Mr. Fei is ordered to collect debts!
"snort!"
Fei Tian walked away proudly, and his legendary deeds quickly spread throughout the capital city. At this time, Lu Qiling also saw the surprise Guan Ning gave her!
