The emperor looked at him blankly for a long time and said doubtfully: "Are you so kind? What is your purpose? Please explain it to me quickly!"
Fang Zheng chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, I am your future son-in-law. If my father-in-law is in trouble, who will wipe his neck if the son-in-law doesn't wipe it? Is this the truth?"
The emperor frowned and said, "Are you speaking in human language? Who asked you to wipe your neck? Tell me, how much of your family property do you plan to donate to the national treasury?"
Fang Zheng calculated in his mind. Of the one million taels that the prince sent, I would definitely not be so foolish as to dedicate all of it to the court. Of course, the bulk should be kept for himself, so how much should he give away?
After thinking for a long time, Fang Zheng hesitated and said: "Wei Chen intends to donate... one hundred thousand taels, no, two hundred thousand taels of silver, what about it? Does the emperor think it is satisfactory?"
The emperor stared at Fang Zheng with a half-smile but said: "You are so generous. There is a saying among the people, 'If you show courtesy for nothing, you will be raped or stolen.' I'm afraid this is not your own family property? You have to tell me honestly, this amount
Where does the money come from? The treasury will not collect anything from unknown sources."
Fang Zheng admired him and said: "The emperor's eyes are indeed bright. In fact, this money was given to Wei Chen by someone else. Maybe he wanted to bribe Wei Chen. But Wei Chen has always been famous in the officialdom of the court for being 'upright and upright, with a breeze on his sleeves'. Why?"
Can you accept these yellow and white filthy things and ruin Wei Chen's reputation for the rest of his life? So Wei Chen plans to send them all to the treasury to relieve the emperor's urgent need to spend money and to show Wei Chen's innocent name."
Before he knew the emperor's attitude clearly, Fang Zheng didn't want to tell the prince for the time being, lest he get into trouble.
These words were extremely righteous and awe-inspiring. The emperor looked at him blankly after hearing the words and said nothing for a long time. He seemed to be deeply shocked by Fang Zheng's shamelessness.
When Fang Zheng saw that the emperor had not responded for a long time, he was also worried in his heart. Did the young master give too much? What if the emperor, Long Yan, was so happy that the cashier was used to harvesting money and ordered me to give him two hundred thousand taels every month?
Is it good to be born? This young master is not his cash machine. I just said fifty thousand taels would be fine, but I am still too young and impulsive...
In the royal study, the monarch and his ministers were silent.
After a long time, the emperor spoke in a deep tone: "Fang Zheng,... I have always been curious, what kind of education has a child like you, who comes from a wealthy family, received in the past eighteen years? I asked about your father Fang Cunyi,
Generally speaking, he is an honest businessman, and your mother, Luo Shi, is also a well-behaved woman. What I'm curious about is, how could they teach you to have such a temperament like this?"
Fang Zheng was stunned when he heard this. Does this praise me or hurt me?
The emperor continued: "...To be honest, I have never seen such a cunning, eccentric, slippery-tongued, profit-seeking, greedy and lustful villain like you in decades. You have opened my eyes!"
Fang Zheng understood now that the emperor was scolding me.
Fang Zheng said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I didn't provoke you. I kindly sent money to the treasury. Why did I get scolded by you instead?"
The emperor sneered: "Good intentions? I'm afraid not necessarily? Have you forgotten what I told you? As long as I want to see and hear anything in the world, don't even think about getting through it! Humph! These twenty
If you take it home and spend it slowly, I want to see if you have the life to spend it!"
Fang Zheng felt guilty for a while after hearing this. Did the Emperor know something? No way! The gift the Crown Prince gave me is still warm. How could the Emperor know it so quickly?
Just as he was about to open his mouth to defend himself, the emperor said coldly: "Also, don't play the trick of depositing eight and getting two for free in front of me from now on! You received a bribe of one million taels and gave away two hundred thousand taels. Do you think you are innocent?"
Humph! Childish!”
Like a thunderbolt striking Tianling Cap, Fang Zheng's whole body suddenly became cold, his forehead, hands and feet were sweating profusely, and he was shocked: Is this...is this a fucking human being? How could he know? Could it be that he planted spies in my house?
As if he had read through Fang Zheng's mind, the emperor said coldly: "Don't make wild guesses. I have no interest in inquiring into your family's affairs, but any of the prince's actions cannot escape my control. The prince does think highly of you.
One million taels, are you worth this?"
It turns out that the prince has been targeted by the emperor for a long time. It’s strange. The prince is the prince of a country. Why is the emperor staring at him when he has nothing to do? If you don’t trust him, why should you make him the prince? The royal family is too complicated, and there are too many things that are ruining the situation.
It's better to be among the people...
Fang Zheng wiped his cold sweat and said with a smile: "Of course I don't deserve this. The prince is so polite, and I feel ashamed. Maybe the prince sent it to the wrong person?"
The emperor stared at him for a while and said: "In terms of shamelessness, there may be no one in this world better than you. I ask you, what do you plan to do with these one million taels of silver?"
Fang Zheng said without hesitation: "Give it to the public! Give it all to the public! Not even a tael of silver from the humble servants!" His tone was extremely firm, and his righteousness was extremely awe-inspiring.
If he doesn't know what's going on at this moment, his head is really in danger, and Chang Ping can't protect him.
The emperor smiled half-heartedly: "Are you willing to do so?"
Fang Zheng said sternly: "A gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way. If it does not belong to the humble minister, if he takes it as his own, then there is something wrong with the humble minister's moral character. Your Majesty, the humble minister dare not boast about being a Derby saint, but
Weichen should at least be considered a little saint. I will never dare to covet such ill-gotten wealth, and I will definitely hand it all over to the treasury."
The emperor closed his eyes and sighed: "The national treasury is in extremely difficult circumstances now. Even the two hundred thousand taels of silver for military pay have to be scrapped together, but he just made one million taels of silver, and he didn't even say that he shared my worries. Alas.
..." His tone was full of loneliness and desolation.
Then the emperor opened his eyes, smiled and said to the other side: "Since he gave it to you, you should keep it. I am the king of a country, how can I do something like trying to steal the money of my ministers? I am just cannibalizing people's salary and loyal people.
You accept the money, but you have to be careful and don't do anything I don't want to see..." The emperor's last words seemed to have a deep meaning.
Fang Zheng felt a shiver in his heart. He couldn't give away the money, and he didn't dare to spend the flowers. It was very hot. This guy, the prince, is really fucking useless. Look what he has done to embarrass me.
Fang Zheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen is sincerely willing to send this money to the treasury. Wei Chen is about to become your son-in-law. Why are you being polite to your own family? At worst, you can lend me some more when Wei Chen is in trouble.
The children move around, come and go, it seems that the family is close..."
The emperor frowned when he heard this. This boy's words were too presumptuous. He couldn't tell the difference between his family, his country and the world. It was simply nonsense.
The emperor said in a deep voice: "There is no need to mention this matter again. You can take care of it yourself. The most important thing right now is the negotiation with the Turks. You must handle this matter well, otherwise I will not be able to spare you!"
Fang Zheng said respectfully: "I am here and want to ask the emperor for specific matters. Let's talk about the point at which we are taking advantage. Please let the emperor make it clear."
The emperor frowned again when he heard this. The important matter of country-to-country negotiations turned out to be an advantage in this man's eyes. He really didn't know whether it was right or wrong to send him as his envoy.
"This time, the two Turkic Khans sent envoys at the same time to form an alliance with our country. You can use the mutual hostility between the two parties to make a big fuss and mediate. As for our conditions, there are roughly three points: First, compensation. Years.
The Turks have launched countless wars against our country and plundered countless people and gold and silver. They have to pay these back to me! As for how much they pay, it all depends on your performance. Second, cede territory. North of Xingqing Mansion
One hundred miles, including the main peak of Helan Mountain, must be under the control of our Hua Dynasty. Third, declare ourselves a vassal. Our Hua Dynasty is the supreme kingdom of heaven, and the barbarian countries must surrender to our Hua Dynasty and regard the Hua Dynasty as its orthodoxy. This is
Three points are my bottom line. I know that the Turks are ferocious, war-loving and arrogant. These three things are not easy to handle. Just do your best. I don’t blame you for the slightest error. However, in the Turks
In front of others, please do not weaken the prestige of our Hua Dynasty, otherwise I will really cut off your head, do you understand?"
Fang Zheng only said yes, and his mind kept running. Among these three points, the first two points are relatively easy, but the last point may be more troublesome. The Turks will not easily agree to surrender. This... can only be taken one step at a time.
Already.
"The Emperor is wise and far-sighted, and all the ministers admire and worship the Emperor. The Emperor's brilliance shines brightly like the sun, and is as bright and flawless as the moon..." Let's not talk about whether we can succeed or not. For now, we should flatter the Emperor first.
serious.
"Okay, okay, I can't stand your flattery." The emperor chuckled.
Fang Zheng looked at the emperor's face and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, if the minister talks about one million taels of silver, then the matter of dividing the account into nineteen..."
The emperor's smiling face suddenly fell when he heard this, and he grimaced and gritted his teeth and said: "I keep my word. If you negotiate for one million taels, one hundred thousand taels will be yours."
"If the minister can let them cede more land..." Although the emperor looked unkind, Fang Zheng had to ask. Young Master Fang is a cross-century talent who believes in "more work, more reward". He was a member of the company in his previous life.
No matter what order the salesman takes, the boss will give him a commission. People in ancient times should also understand this truth?
Unexpectedly, Young Master Fang's words stirred up a hornet's nest, and the emperor was once again "Long Yan was furious" and said in a vicious voice: "Fang Zheng! You are too presumptuous! Do you really think that I dare not kill you?"
Fang Zheng was so frightened that he quickly waved his hands and said: "Your Majesty, calm down, calm down! We are just asking casually. Just think that I didn't say anything. It's nothing. It's okay. We have to retire. Long live my emperor..."
"Get out! Get out of here!" The emperor's voice was full of uncontrollable anger.
