The prince said in confusion: "Master Fang, why do you have to hit and die in the slaughter to repay the great kindness of your own son?"

Fang Zheng was stunned. Did I just say that? Why did I say the pit? It’s not good to kill where to hit me? Palace gate, jade steps, golden pillars, many ideal places to seek death. Why should I say the pit? This question is really puzzling.

"Uh, that's it anyway, that is, I am grateful to the great kindness of His Highness of the Crown Prince. In order to repay His Highness,...why you might as well have a meal here. You see, it's not appropriate not to eat a meal..." Fang Zheng began to kindly try to keep the Crown Prince. Isn't it difficult to repay the great kindness? This meal can be repaid. - It's not difficult to repay.

Seeing Fang Zheng's slick look and his tone was very sincere, the prince couldn't help but feel a little angry. Could this person be playing with the loner? He was a slut and a meal. This person was indeed a gangster in the market, extremely vulgar!

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The prince opened his eyes and smiled and said, "You are welcome. I am here just to visit you and don't dare to bother you too much."

Fang Zheng's hospitality enthusiasm has not diminished at all: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is so serious, just a simple meal is nothing."

The prince smiled faintly and changed the topic: "I heard about the grudge between you and Shangshu Pan. Although Shangshu Pan is Gu's mentor, Gu is the crown prince of a country. He is in the heart of the world and will not be close to his relatives and is a virtuous person. Shangshu Pan... Alas, he did something wrong with him. I hope Lord Fang will not care about it. The teacher is also an old minister of the two dynasties. The left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who was very energetic at that time, is now nearly 70 years old. He is already the first person in the court. After years of these years, the teacher is also old. When he is old, he will inevitably be a little paranoid. Gu can't bear to see the teacher dragging his old body to continue to work hard in state affairs. He is about to persuade the teacher to retire and live his life..."

As Fang Zheng listened, he suddenly felt something was wrong. The prince’s meaning seemed to be speaking from a fair standpoint, even from Fang Zheng’s standpoint. And he said that he would persuade Shangshu Pan to surrender, what does this mean?

Fang Zheng hesitated and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me for being stupid. I don't understand your highness very much..."

Seeing Fang Zheng's shocked and suspicious look, the prince smiled satisfied: "You don't have to guess. Although the teacher is educated, he is not a good friend to help his relatives. He is fair. The teacher did this wrong first, which caused Lord Fang to be imprisoned for no reason. He really made Gu feel uneasy. He turned around and advised Pan Shangshu that he should not work too much when he was old. Some things should be let go."

Fang Zheng finally understood. To put it bluntly, the prince is here to win him over today, and he is willing to suppress Pan Shangshu to win him over. It's so strange. Are the two teachers and students not related to teachers? Why did the prince help outsiders bully his teacher? Is this young master really worth winning over? Or did the teacher and student turn against each other? Or did the prince want to achieve a balance in the layout of the court when he ascended the throne?

Huh? When did my young master's political qualities become so mature? I can figure out such a complicated matter. It seems that I have enough ability to upgrade to a few levels of official positions.

Seeing Fang Zheng still frowning and thinking, the prince couldn't help but smile: "Mr. Fang doesn't need to think too much. It's good to say this here. It's useless to say more. I heard that my father ordered you to be the righteous envoy and negotiate with the Turks. It's a big deal. I hope Master Fang will not let down the expectations of your father and the court for you."

Fang Zheng started to get angry. The prince's mind was even more jumping than that of this young master. When he talked about Shangshu Pan, why did he get involved in the Turks again? What did he want to say?

He looked at the prince helplessly, and Fang Zheng said respectfully: "I will do my best to not disappoint the emperor and the prince."

The prince nodded and suddenly said meaningfully: "If someone secretly causes trouble in this matter, Lord Fang can come to report to Gu. I am willing to help you."

Fang Zheng's eyes lit up, damn! Finally, it's important to talk about the key points. Someone secretly caused trouble. Who dares to do so? Could it be that the prince himself called to catch the thief?

"I thank you for your reminder that I will do things with caution and be foolproof."

The prince nodded and stood up: "It's getting late, so I won't bother Lord Fang anymore. Gu will say goodbye now. By the way, Gu prepared a little bit of gifts, which is considered to be a shock to Lord Fang's release from prison. I hope Lord Fang will not refuse."

Hey! Whatever you lack is. The prince’s courtesy is absolutely nothing. I am making trouble. I don’t want to be careless. Fang Zheng smiled sincerely at this time: “I thank you for your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, you are so polite. I am really grateful, so I have to bear it.”

Seeing Fang Zheng's happy smile, the prince also smiled, and he smiled happier than Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng kept sending the prince to the gate. Before getting on the car, he patted Fang Zheng on the shoulder and said with deep meaning: "Mr. Fang, I am making friends with you sincerely. May Lord Fang not let go of Gu's wishes. Lord Fang is in a high position. He is so promising that he will be a king in the future. What do you think?"

Wow Kaka! It’s a hint! The crown prince of a country is nakedly hinting to me!

Fang Zhengzhuoru lowered his head excitedly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your priest, for your mercy."

The prince smiled, raised his feet into the car, and the imperial guards walked forward all the way and left the Fang Mansion.

Fang Zheng waved his handkerchief reluctantly, and shouted to the prince's car with deep affection: "Your Highness the Prince is going all the way! Next time I come, I'll just give away the silver notes. It's a big box and a small box to carry it--"

When the prince's carriage finally couldn't see any shadow, Fang Zheng threw away the handkerchief and gestured his middle finger towards the carriage.

He is also a senior official Xu and gives money to him. He really thinks that I am so easy to buy? Not to mention that Fang Zheng had no good impression of the prince from the beginning, let alone the fat man and the prince are not very good. Fang Zheng is a kind-hearted person who helps his relatives and does not care. Can he buy a few boxes of gold and silver for his friendship with the fat man? Humph! Dreaming! However, although the gift-giving person is not interested in him, the money is innocent. - I wonder how many boxes of gold and silver the prince has given him?

He rushed back excitedly, and the gift from the prince was quietly placed in the corner of the front hall. More than a dozen boxes of various sizes were piled together, which looked quite visually shocking. Fang Zheng couldn't wait to open the box, and the room was filled with golden light. The dazzling light emitted by the thick gold and silver ingots made Fang Zheng's eyes hurt.

He was in a hurry to order someone to cover the box. Fang Zheng took a deep breath. Such a large pile of gold, silver and jewelry would be worth less than one million taels if it was broken into silver. The gifts given by the prince were more expensive every time. It seemed that Fang Zheng's value in his heart was getting higher and higher. He thought that the prince gave this time was only more than ten or two hundred thousand taels, but Fang Zheng accepted it without any scruples. Unexpectedly, the prince's huge deal was worth millions! There was not so much silver in the treasury of the court, right? Should this gift be collected? Fang Zheng, who has always been very independent, began to hesitate for the first time.

Mr. Fang walked out of the back hall at some point. When he saw the pile of boxes, he couldn't help but frown and said in a deep voice: "Did the prince give it?"

Fang Zheng nodded. He was very entangled now and wanted to accept it. The gift was too hot and he wanted to return it, but he couldn't bear it and was very embarrassed.

Mr. Fang glanced at him and said, "Zheng'er, I don't understand the major affairs of the court and can't interfere with anything, but I know that I will not receive any reward without merit. The prince's gift is very small, and you must know what you want to do."

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, dad, the advantage of a child is that he will not admit his words after eating. The child will handle this matter well."

Mr. Fang scolded angrily: "Bastard! Are you an advantage? You are a court official and don't know any shame at all! If the emperor and the censors in the court know about this, you can wait for the bad luck!"

Fang Zheng quickly lowered his eyebrows and lamented in his heart. Even if this young master was the prince, he would still be his son in front of his father. There was nothing he could do about it.

Mr. Fang reminded Fang Zheng, if I took the initiative to let the emperor know about this, wouldn’t this gift be bleached? At worst, I would give the emperor a little...

Just as the emperor had to give face-to-face advice on negotiations with the Turks, why not go to the palace now and get the gift done?

Fang Zheng made up his mind and immediately ordered his servants to prepare a car. After comforting his father for a few words, he hurriedly got on the carriage and ran to the forbidden palace.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

In the imperial study room.

"My uncle Fang Zheng pays homage to the emperor, long live my emperor--" Fang Zheng knelt down and shouted as soon as he entered the door.

As soon as the emperor saw Fang Zheng, he was not as good as his nose. He snorted heavily, lowered his head to review the memorials, and ignored him.

Seeing that the emperor did not respond, Fang Zheng stood up without waiting for his orders to calm down. Now Fang Zheng is the emperor's prospective son-in-law, and Master Fang has never seen his family.

Walking quietly to the emperor, Fang Zheng amplified his voice and shouted in the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, I am here!"

The emperor threw the brush in his hand hard and said angrily: "I'll come here, why are you shouting!"

Fang Zheng smiled embarrassedly and scratched his head and said, "Hehe, I thought you were old, and you were on your ears..."

The emperor sneered: "Although I am in my seventies, I am not blind and I am not obsessed with it. I don't want to miss the world's affairs, what I want to see and hear, I don't want to get through it!"

Fang Zheng was so proud of it and laughed in his heart. At least you definitely don’t know about the prince’s gift to this young master just now.

The emperor glanced at Fang Zheng and said, "Every time I see you, I wish I could lose you. Tell me, what advantage do you want to take if you come this time?"

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it hurts Weichen's heart so much. Weichen is like the kind of person who takes advantage of me? Isn't it just that he has done a small business with you, and everyone is willing to do it. Besides, I only share 10%. Logically speaking, you should have taken advantage of me..."

The emperor said angrily: "Are you sorry to me if I say so?"

Fang Zheng quickly said, "No, the emperor misunderstood. They are all family members. Don't talk to each other. Don't hurt your family's kindness for the sake of those who miss it. We are here to give you a discount this time."

The emperor smiled angry: "You actually have a bargain for me to take advantage of. This is a strange thing for all ages. Tell me, what bargain?"

Fang Zheng said with a sigh: "Weichen knows that the national treasury is difficult, and the court is very nervous. We see it and are anxious in our hearts, so we are willing to offer part of our property and fill it in the treasury."

As he said that, Fang Zheng grinned at the emperor: "Are you moved?"
