Chapter 25
Emperor Jing stood there awkwardly.
These words inspired him, but when he heard them, he always felt like he was being tricked.
Li Yuanzhao reacted quickly and shouted: "Then it would be easier for me to burn the book directly!"
Fang Zheng sighed and patted Emperor Jing on the shoulder.
He said earnestly: "Old Li, there is something wrong with your son's thinking! He wants to burn books... Look..."
"Shut up, you bastard! Is it your turn to speak?"
"I usually spoil you too much, but now I dare to think of burning books!"
Emperor Jing rebuked loudly, but felt a little helpless in his heart.
Fang Zhengyi obviously didn't want to say more. He couldn't tell whether he couldn't go on or just didn't want to talk.
Li Yuanzhao immediately closed his mouth and looked at Emperor Jing resentfully.
Fang Zheng laughed loudly: "You are serious! You are serious, Old Li, you are just a kid!"
"Don't burn books anymore! Play with fire and piss on the bed!"
Li Yuanzhao's eyes widened. Who the hell burned the book? If you can't convince me, you'll sue me!
Be a human being! Fortunately, I thought you were good before! You are indeed a scumbag!
Then Li Yuanzhao closed his mouth and said nothing.
A few people continued to walk on the street, but the two in front were chatting happily, while the old and the young in the back lowered their heads and pressed their lips tightly.
This scene looks quite strange, attracting passers-by's attention.
.............................
In half a day, a few people had visited most of Taoyuan County.
After sunset, the two groups said goodbye to each other.
Emperor Jing and his party returned to Youjian Inn.
Li Yuanzhao was very tired after playing all day, so he went straight to his room to rest.
Emperor Jing was sitting in the room, with a map on the table and his eyes constantly wandering around.
Guo Tianyang stood behind him like a wooden stake, without saying a word.
a long time.
Emperor Jing stood up, rolled up the map, and said, "You stay here and keep an eye on the prince... I have to go to the county government office."
"Your Majesty is going to see Fang Zhengyi?"
Guo Tianyang felt a little anxious. It was not a good sign that Fang Zheng had such trust from His Majesty before he even entered the court.
"Is it possible that Your Majesty really thinks that Fang Zhengyi has a solution to the flood problem?"
Emperor Jing frowned slightly: "Can't you see it? Although the flood is difficult, judging from Fang Zhengyi's expression, I may not be able to do anything about it!"
"It's just that this guy doesn't want to speak, probably because he's afraid of disturbing the court."
Guo Tianyang bowed and said: "This old slave is stupid...but I really can't believe that Fang Zhengyi has the means to summon the thunder!"
"If he had such ability, wouldn't he become a heavenly being? It seems to me that he is probably thinking of taking this opportunity to make a fortune in a country that is suffering."
"It's true that Fang Zhengyi is greedy for money, and it's also true that he doesn't want to be promoted."
There was anger in Emperor Jing's tone: "A man who is an official has no enterprising spirit! Fang Zhengyi is really hateful! When the flood is over, I will let Fang Zhengyi come to Beijing no matter what he can do or not!"
"Having talent but not thinking about serving the country, how is it different from an animal!?"
"If he likes money, I can make him richest in the world! Why cower in a mere Taoyuan County!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
"Hmph! If I were really wise, I wouldn't have let Fang Zhengyi hide under my nose for so many years! Okay, I'll go see the prince first, and then go directly to the county government office."
"You and the prince can stay here safely and don't let him run around!"
Then Jingdi Shi Shiran opened the door, turned around and walked towards the prince's room.
The prince was obviously used to being waited on. This time he didn't bring Liu Jin and he didn't even know how to lock the door.
It’s extremely difficult to be vigilant when you’re out alone!
Emperor Jing was somewhat fortunate to have brought the prince out for a visit.
The prince has been living in the palace for many years. Although he is smart, he lacks experience. Although he is strict with his words, he does not want the prince to go through too many twists and turns.
So much so that when the children of common people reach his age, they are all born with babies!
The prince only knows how to play with useless things, and is not very interested in matters between men and women.
Emperor Jing opened the door and walked slowly into the house.
I thought the prince had already fallen asleep, but unexpectedly, there was a faint light coming from the bedroom.
Emperor Jing walked over out of curiosity.
I saw the prince lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, an oil lamp was dangling on the bedside, and he was flipping through a book in his right hand.
Under the illumination of the oil lamp, the prince's complexion looked particularly rosy.
Because the room was extremely quiet, the prince's breathing was also unusually heavy.
Emperor Jing became more and more curious and walked straight to the prince, but the prince didn't even notice!
Still looking at the contents of the book attentively.
Emperor Jing looked sideways and became furious!
This book was actually a vernacular book that the prince bought at a bookstall during the day when he was not paying attention!
The contents of the book were unbearable to read, and the chapter that the prince read was about a female spy from the enemy country named Feng Meili, who was captured by the county magistrate and was undergoing severe torture.
Emperor Jing stared blankly for a while, then closed his eyes in pain!
This traitor actually enjoys looking at such disgusting things.
Sure enough, Taoyuan County’s upper beams are crooked and its lower beams are crooked! The county magistrate is crooked, and the books he publishes are even crooked!
So Emperor Jing snatched the book, and the cover clearly read "Gold Medal County Magistrate".
The moment the book was snatched away, the prince was shocked, slumped on the bed, and then turned around and became furious!
Which bastard dares to snatch my book at this moment!
When he saw that it was Emperor Jing, Li Yuanzhao had a look of horror in his eyes. He tucked the quilt back hard and said sarcastically: "Father...what do you want to do with your son?"
Emperor Jing had a dark face, rolled up the book into a roll, pointed it at Li Yuanzhao and said angrily: "You treacherous son, you don't study well in the palace, but you read this kind of thing when you leave the palace!"
"Look at how you behaved during the day! Did you stand or eat? If I don't teach you a lesson today, your palace will be in vain!"
After finishing speaking, he handed the book to Li Yuanzhao!
Li Yuanzhao held the quilt with one hand and blocked it with the other. He kept begging for mercy: "Father! I bought this for the purpose of studying vernacular literature!"
"Stop fighting, stop fighting!"
"I told you to be uneducated and incompetent! I made you look down upon Gu Chaogang!"
Emperor Jing became more and more angry as he fought. He hit Li Yuanzhao on the arm with a series of blows.
When Guo Tianyang heard the voice, he ran over in a hurry. He quickly knelt down and grabbed Emperor Jing: "Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty, calm down! What has the prince done? He is still a child!"
"Child! Can children read this kind of book!?"
The "Gold Medal County Magistrate" was thrown on Guo Tianyang's face with a bang, and Guo Tianyang caught it with his face without hesitation.
Then he quickly picked up the book, held it in both hands, lowered his head and whispered: "Your Majesty, there are important matters tonight... I am here to look at Your Highness."
Emperor Jing took the book and put it under his arm, and said in a cold voice: "Keep an eye on him! I will take good care of him when he returns to the palace!"
After saying that, he left Youjian Inn in a hurry.
When Guo Tianyang saw that the person had gone far away, he wiped his cold sweat, and then hurried to the bed.
"Your Highness! Your Highness, please come out. Your Majesty has left."
At this time, the prince was huddled under the quilt. When he heard Guo Tianyang shouting, he took the pillow and threw it directly into Guo Tianyang's face.
"Get out! I'm not wearing pants!"
