Chapter 369(1/2)
Emperor Jing smiled, looked at Li Yuanzhao and said, "Well, very good! I will accept these glasses. You can go back."
Li Yuanzhao looked dull.
Is this it? Just accept the things and let me go?
Why don't you say a few more kind words and give me some more praise?
Then wouldn’t it be in vain for me to come?
"Father...then...my son is gone?" Li Yuanzhao asked.
Emperor Jing looked at his hesitant look and couldn't help but smile.
Don’t even think about it, you are just waiting to praise yourself.
He is already such an adult, yet he still acts like a child.
Emperor Jing smiled: "The prince is filial."
"I also heard recently that you handled the health team affairs in Banshanfang. You did a good job. I am very pleased."
"Give me a thousand taels of gold and Guo Banban will make arrangements."
Guo Tianyang bowed and responded, feeling very happy. It seemed that he had gotten a treasure for nothing this time.
Li Yuanzhao felt a little disappointed. He opened his mouth and said nonchalantly: "Copper?"
"What if?"
"...My son, please retire!"
After Li Yuanzhao left, Emperor Jing still wore glasses and kept observing various things.
Mouthed in admiration.
"Fang Qing can come up with something new every time. I didn't expect that he can even cure eye diseases!"
Guo Tianyang felt the stimulation of the acupuncture points happily.
I couldn't help but echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, these glasses are really magical. Over there, Mr. Fang..."
Emperor Jing waved his hand: "Don't worry, that guy wants to use me to advertise for him, he has no good intentions!"
"I will talk to him alone when I have time."
"How is Miaohan doing lately?"
Guo Tianyang thought for a while, then sighed: "The princess is not very good, she still doesn't think about food and tea."
"Master Fang, he hasn't been to Mingluan Hall for a long time..."
Emperor Jing's face darkened when he heard this: "This bastard! If something goes wrong with Miaohan, I will question him!"
"Go and ask the imperial kitchen to stew some supplements and send them to Miaohan, so she must finish them!"
.............
A few days later, Fang Zheng went to court as usual.
The emperor was not seen wearing glasses when he went to court, but Guo Tianyang wore them every day.
Sometimes I would meet him in the palace, and occasionally I would see him lift his clothes and breathe into his glasses, carefully wiping the lenses.
What does it look like, baby?
Although the emperor did not wear glasses publicly, Guo Tianyang wearing them every day was enough to arouse others' curiosity.
Fang Zheng was not in a hurry at all. Zhang Dongxiang's provincial examination process was not over yet and he had not returned to the palace.
Let the news of the glasses slowly ferment in the palace first, and when he comes back, just seize the opportunity and launch a wave of hunger marketing, and then everything will be fine!
But the strange thing is that the emperor's attitude towards him has changed a lot recently.
When I look at myself, my nose is not my nose, my eyes are not my eyes.
Occasionally I would ask a few questions, but it seemed that I never got the answer right...
Fang Zheng thought about it for a long time.
Which process of yours is causing the problem?
That's not right! I never stopped giving these thoughtful little memorials! Every once in a while, I even sent His Majesty some snacks and local specialties, but he accepted them all.
Haven't you always done this before? It's been pretty good!
Could it be that... he saw that I wanted him to advertise glasses? That shouldn't be the case!
This tacit understanding has been established for a long time, and His Majesty is quite active when it comes to making money, right?
It’s not a good thing for my future father-in-law to be so moody!
After thinking about it for several days, I still couldn't figure it out. Fang Zhengyi could only blame it on the fact that the emperor was busy with too many political affairs!
The issue that he is most concerned about right now is the newspaper reporter.
After the exam, he specifically asked reporters to find out that there were about four or five people who thought they could pass the exam.
These people are all elites in the newspaper office!
Among them is Shen Yi, whom Fang Zhengyi admires the most.
This guy is the quickest at what he does, and he also gives compliments!
But according to the previous back-up, Shen Yi is still the top case in the children's examination, and the chance of winning is very high!
Once you win the election, if you run away and no longer work for the newspaper, it will be a huge loss for the newspaper!
Although the newspaper does a good job, it cannot stand up to the public opinion and has not changed. It is looked down upon by everyone. Students are afraid of wasting time and delaying exams, so it is extremely difficult to find suitable reporters.
You have to think of a way to prepare for the worst and fill the gap for him!
As soon as the day for the release of the results arrived, Fang Zhengyi led many reporters to look at the results. The newspaper office was also specially given a holiday on this day.
Although many people did not take the exam, they may not want to refer to it next time.
Naturally, everyone wants to join in the fun.
So Fang Zheng was completely generous and gave the newspaper office half a day off.
When the group arrived outside Gongyuan, there was already a sea of people.
Some people also played gongs and drums to add to the atmosphere.
Seeing this posture, the reporter felt nervous, pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.
Fang Zheng rode on a tall horse and squeezed in behind them, watching the scene happily.
Everyone is laughing now, but soon many people will cry!
Thinking of this pair of reporters greeting each other: "Everyone, take your "weapons" and interview the failed candidates later. This will be the front page of our newspaper tomorrow!"
"Choose a few wonderful examples, the more miserable the better! The standard is to make people cry!"
The accompanying reporter showed an unbearable look and asked, "Sir... shouldn't you be interviewing the successful candidates?"
“It’s not good to stab people’s hearts even though they’ve already failed!”
Fang Zhengyi laughed: "What's so bad!"
"Those who are the most miserable candidates will never pass the exam for the rest of their lives! Maybe being in the newspaper can improve their lives."
"And every year, there are a lot of people who fail in the exam! Isn't it uncomfortable that you only report on the successful ones?"
"Write more tragic stories, so that other failed candidates will not be so depressed! They will still have the energy to fight again next year!"
"Our newspaper office wants to bring happiness to the public!"
"Sacrifice one person to bring happiness to millions of families, not to mention it is not a sacrifice. This is called a win-win situation!"
winwin!
It’s not just a win-win situation, it’s also good for newspaper sales! People just like to see others suffer misfortune!
The accompanying reporters looked impressed!
As expected of Mr. Fang, you are far-sighted! You still have to learn more.
"The list is released! The list is released!" During the chat, the sound of the list began to ring throughout the audience!
Seeing someone posting the list, Fang Zhengyi's heart suddenly lifted inexplicably.
Although I did not participate in the imperial examination, I actually had the feeling of getting a score in the college entrance examination.
The psychological shadow of exam-oriented education has haunted me for two lifetimes!
When the complete list was posted, Fang Zhengyi's eyes suddenly went straight!
First place...Jie Yuan...Shen Yi?
The reporters around him burst into cheers and surrounded Shen Yi.
People around him cast envious glances, and some also joined the cheering team.
Amidst the joy, Fang Zhengyi was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe!
