Chapter 87
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Jing slapped the table and said excitedly: "Okay!! Well said! Fang Qing is really my strong point."
"Where is it, this is just some of my thoughts."
Fang Zhengyi smiled after he said that.
We have long wanted to find an opportunity to say these four sentences in Hengqu. If Fang Zhengyi doesn’t pretend, who can pretend to be there?
The ministers were stunned and looked at Fang Zhengyi with strange eyes.
This is really good! He is righteous and reveals the ideals in the hearts of scholars in one sentence.
But who said... it's not your turn to Fang Zheng to finish his words. Don't you know what kind of person you are? He came up and flattered His Majesty.
With such a charming figure, whoever takes a frisbee is better than you? Why are you pretending to be a gentleman!
After the audience's faces were all over Jingdi, he was also a little embarrassed. He seemed to be a little too excited just now.
I forgot that Fang Zhengyi has always been unpopular in the court, and he seems to... want to come to hide in Taoyuan County forever...
Thinking of this, Emperor Jing looked as usual and praised him again: "Fang Qing said very well, so all the ministers should take this as an example."
After saying that, he sat down straight.
Li Yuanzhao couldn't help but feel proud when he inserted his waist. Lao Fang is such a person, and I am such a person. We both have a common ideal!
After hearing this, Guo Tianyang drooped his eyelids, hid his hands in his sleeves and kept writing and painting, and was muttering words such as common prosperity and making a living for the people.
I thought to myself that this Fang Zhengyi's business can be improved... Our family can't leave it behind...
The ministers remained silent, as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
There is only one thought in my mind. Why isn’t this sentence not me?
Tang Shou sat on the ground, his heart as cold as a piece of ice, looking around helplessly... Do you really have nowhere to complain about his grievances?
Is it so dark in the court?
Finally, he looked at Zhang Shi for help, and kept hinting with his eyes that Fang Zhengyi would still say whether he would evade taxes?
Zhang Shi's face was as deep as water, ignored Tang Shou, stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this person is clever and has a good tongue and is a country and a family. What is the explanation for the evasion of taxes??"
"Tang Shou also knows a little about this matter, so please help him solve his doubts!"
Tang Shou rose up and said, "Go back to Your Majesty! Tax evasion in Taoyuan County is indeed true!"
"Five years ago, due to the extreme population shortage and local poverty, the imperial court specially exempted the tax burden of Taoyuan County and Jihua County, but this decree was restricted."
"Taoyuan County has long been no longer as poor as before, but Taoyuan County has been concealing the situation."
"I went to Hengjiang Prefecture and asked about the official officials who checked the taxation situation of each county. These official officials had never seen the people in Taoyuan County, and they didn't even know that there was a Taoyuan County!"
"So I dare to assert that Taoyuan County must be without taxes!"
Emperor Jing turned his head and looked at Fang Zhengyi.
Fang Zheng bowed: "Go back to Your Majesty! Although Taoyuan County has developed well, the county government has really no money."
"Most of the money I have earned in recent years has been invested in improving people's livelihood, especially in education!"
"In order to make the people reasonable and know the kindness of the king, I spared no effort to make the people of the county popularize the writing and have books to read."
"On the other hand, Taoyuan County's governance emphasizes hiding wealth from the people. If you have money, you have to spend it on infrastructure. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to check the accounts at any time. We are upright and honest!"
Joke, how can you old people like me, the fake accounts in Taoyuan County be seen?
Emperor Jing nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Fang Zhengyi continued: "Of course, there may be some missed taxes. This is my memorial. Now the county has no money. I will wait for Taoyuan County to sort it out and then make up for it."
"This is my fault! Please punish me!"
We always have to leave room for operation for the big leaders so that we can live a better life with face.
Although you may spend more money, it doesn’t matter. Just spend it and treat it as losing money to avoid disasters!
Isn’t it just money? A bunch of old people, just see if I sell your health products in the future!
Emperor Jing also breathed a sigh of relief, and the matter was over quickly.
This kid Fang Zhengyi is so worry-free!
"Okay! Since Fang Zhengyi's reign had outstanding political achievements, he would temporarily impose a one-year salary penalty for taxes to be omitted to show punishment. What do you think?"
No one spoke, no objection.
I have reached this point, and those who don’t know think Fang Zhengyi is His Majesty’s own son. Who dares to say something more?
If it were someone else, I would have dragged it out and beaten it long ago, so the kid was standing proudly in the house.
"Okay! Since that's the case, then this matter is settled!"
Zhang Shi had no abnormal reaction and quietly retreated.
Tang Shou stood in the hall and felt as if he was dead... Unexpectedly, Fang Zhengyi's background was so strong, and he was revenge... hopeless...
"I have a memorial! Fang Zheng poisoned the prisoner and killed 54 people in total! Please punish him severely!" Yan Guoan said with a letter of punishment.
Fang Zheng looked at him and Zhang Shi, but Zhang Shi's expression was not surprising, obviously he already knew about this.
It seems that the two have joined forces...
As soon as these words came out, the ministers' hearts became anxious and looked at Fang Zhengyi in horror.
Those who are close to him quickly take two steps back.
Everyone endured this guy who was slick and slutty. Unexpectedly, the gentle man was still a murderer? Fang Rentu, you are a cruel person!
Emperor Jing frowned tightly and stared at Fang Zhengyi and said, "Is there anything wrong?"
He didn't know what was going on now, but he was so guilty of murder. He also killed fifty-four people in one go. Except on the battlefield, Emperor Jing hadn't heard of such a vicious incident in several years...
Fang Zhengyi was not panicked at all and said honestly: "Your Majesty, this is indeed true! However, there is a reason for this matter..."
"Your Majesty! This matter is better for me. Fang Zhengyi is a clever and eloquent person. I am worried that he will distort the facts!" Yan Guoan had a stern face.
"Okay, then it's up to you!"
Yan Guoan closed his eyes and carefully recalled the details in his memory. At this time, he must have to knock down Fang Zhengyi with one blow. This person will definitely be a disaster.
As an old minister of the dynasty, Zhang Shi was speechless. This time... he couldn't lose anymore!
"Did Your Majesty remember that the prince often skipped classes for no reason some time ago? It was from that time that I began to pay attention to the prince's movements."
"I found out that the prince skipped class and actually ran out of the palace with Fang Zhengyi's gold medal!"
"So I also began to send people to inquire about Fang Zhengichi's whereabouts, and I found that he and the prince had been secretly carrying out some activities."
"It wasn't long before the prince stopped leaving the palace privately. After investigation by many sources, he found that Fang Zhengyi and the prince actually executed prisoners in a dungeon in the capital!"
"Those prisoners died extremely miserably!! You can tell that the mysterious secrets that are spread in the city are the ones who are panicking the people, and Fang Zhengyi!"
