Early the next morning, a large number of officials came to the East Factory!
They are all here to give gifts, and I wish Fang Chen to be promoted to commander of the Jinyiwei.
Officials of all sizes and small in the court came, and even the ministers of the six ministries asked someone to come and give gifts to Fang Chen.
Some princes and nobles are not easy to show up, so they send people to give gifts!
Fang Chen was stunned!
When he found out the gifts these people gave, he was even more shocked and his eyes wide open!
The gifts given by each official are priceless, and even some ordinary gifts are covered with thick stacks of silver notes!
These people are too blatant to take bribes!
Fang Chen didn't see any of them and sent them all away. However, all the gifts were taken away.
Moreover, all the gifts that the official gave were registered.
The people who gave gifts were very happy when they returned. As long as Fang Chen gave the gift, they would not investigate them in the future.
However, what they didn't know was that Fang Chen immediately sent someone to Luo Ningxin for this registration list.
The next morning court.
Luo Ningxin took out the roster in his hand and let Feng Gao read it in the same dynasty!
Heading down, all civil and military officials were silent!
They thought that after Fang Chen received the gift, everyone was very happy. Unexpectedly, Fang Chen would stab them in the back!
Fang Chen did this undoubtedly offended all civil and military officials. However, he was not afraid. With His Majesty’s support, with his current power, how could he be afraid of these people?
He wants to rectify these bad habits in the court!
After Feng Gao finished reading, Luo Ningxin threw the roster to the ground!
It seems to be hitting the hearts of every official.
"You guys are all well-reading in poetry and books. Don't you know shame? What exactly are you going to do? Where did you get so much money?"
"Do you know how much these items are worth together? More than five million taels of silver!!"
"At the beginning, the disaster in the south asked you to pay for disaster relief. None of you had any money. Now, in order to celebrate Lord Fang, he actually took out so much money. The maximum is 300,000 taels, and the minimum is 300,000 taels!"
"I'm so disappointed with you!"
"All this money will be confiscated!"
"Depending on how much money you have taken out, you will be fined from one to five years of salary!"
Luo Ning's heart taught all civil and military officials, and he was speechless!
No one dares to speak out. At this time, whoever stands up will become the vent of His Majesty's anger and will never let it go!
They all hated Fang Chen to the core!
"Mr. Minister of Rites, come out for me!"
Liang Guangshan, Minister of Rites, immediately stepped forward: "I am here!"
"As the Minister of Rites, you are specialized in humanities and etiquette and education. You actually took the lead in giving gifts and gave 200,000 taels!"
"How did you, the Secretary of the House?"
"I will demote you to the position of Shangshu and demote to the Left Minister of Rites!"
Liang Guangshan knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, you have been promoted and made money and gifts since ancient times. This is an unwritten rule."
"Your Majesty, you cannot demote the meritorious minister."
It would be fine if Liang Guangshan said it, and Luo Ningxin was even more furious!
"To the explicit provision, no gifts for anyone who is promoted shall be given more than twenty taels! And you are giving 200,000 taels! I have demoted you as a light punishment, and you still refuse to obey the order!"
"The person who came here will be exempted from all positions in Liang Guangshan, and will never be allowed to enter the imperial capital. His family members and their families will be exempted from all positions and will be punished together!"
The gun strikes the bird!
Luo Ningxin is killing the chicken to scare the monkey!
The gifts given by officials in the court have long become a bad habit and are the default of everyone.
If this kind of trend is left unsuccessful, it will only cause more officials to take bribes and cause the court to decline!
So, Luo Ningxin seized this plan and carefully rectified this kind of thing.
"Your Majesty!" Liang Guangshan begged for mercy: "Please beg your mercy, please beg your mercy!"
However, no matter what he said, it was useless. Two eunuchs came over, took off the top of his head, took off his official robe, and took him away!
No one pleads for mercy. Now, whoever stands up will be in trouble!
Because they all gave gifts to Fang Chen!
Luo Ningxin said coldly: "In the future, all officials' behaviors must abide by the law and etiquette. No one shall violate them, otherwise I will punish you strictly without lending!"
"Retreat!"
After the incident ended, Luo Ningxin felt the importance of Fang Chen even more.
She ordered Fang Chen to investigate the officials who gave gifts first, and to investigate the large amount of funds, if there is any corruption and abuse of power, the amount will be decided according to the amount.
In short, Luo Ningxin had to replace all the civil and military officials in the court with his own people, with those who were loyal to the court and do practical things for the people!
You must never leave any cancer and harm the court!
After retreating, Fang Chen went to Ma's house to check the progress of refugee resettlement.
Everything developed according to the plan. The court compensated the Ma family for the losses. Ma Shan thanked Fang Chen for a thousand years and kept speeding up the progress and building a factory to ensure that all victims can have a job and a good life.
After lunch at Ma's house, Fang Chen went to Yanghuafang again.
He went there alone and asked Yang Zhuo to wait for him in the military commander.
"Fang Chen!" Ye Xue'e was very worried when she saw Fang Chen.
The previous competition between Fang Chen and Tian Xuzi was extremely dangerous. Neither Ye Xue'e nor Hongxiu could go out or go to the outside of the palace to watch. It would definitely not be discovered by those who knew them.
When Ye Xue'e learned that Fang Chen had beaten Tianxuzi in all three competitions, she was extremely shocked and excited.
She knew that her man was very strong, but she didn't expect that she could be so strong that she could defeat even the number one saint of the Great Yan Dynasty.
These days, Ye Xue'e can't sleep at night. Many times, she is thinking about a question: Is she really worthy of Fang Chen?
She was really scared, afraid that one day Fang Chen would leave her and look for the woman who was as powerful as him. She could advance and retreat with Fang Chen and work hard together.
Now Ye Xue'e feels that she has nothing but beauty.
The poems, songs, music, chess, calligraphy and painting that she knows cannot be compared with Fang Chen.
At this moment, Ye Xue'e lay in Fang Chen's arms and asked quietly: "Fang Chen, tell me, will you leave me?"
Fang Chen didn't know what Ye Xue'e was thinking, and said casually: "Silly girl, how could I leave you? No matter what happens, I will never leave you."
Ye Xue'e blinked her beautiful big eyes and asked very seriously and seriously: "Really? You are not allowed to lie to me."
"Of course it's true. When did I deceive you? Silly girl." Fang Chen scratched Ye Xue'e's raised nose with his hands: "I love you the most. I will never leave you."
Ye Xue'e said again: "Will you meet a woman better and better than me?"
