Chapter 2515: 1 Shangshu, 1 Bachelor
"The whole city of Peiping is waiting for you to get angry, but you are teasing your children at home."
Zhang Fu returned to Beijing more than two months earlier than Fang Xing and witnessed the whole process, so he was worried that Fang Xing would retaliate when he returned.
But when they arrived at Fang's house, Fang Xing was not there, and they finally found him by the river.
Huanhuan and Wuyou were sitting on the edge looking at the fishing nets, Fang Xing and Zhang Fu were walking on the edge, and the servants were wandering around.
Zhang Fu actually gained some weight. This discovery made Fang Xing want to laugh.
"You are also black."
Zhang Fu pointed at Fang Xing's face in embarrassment.
Fang Xing touched his face and said, "At my age, a pretty face is a problem, so it's better to be darker."
Zhang Fu sighed slightly, "Tudou and the others are still young, so you can't be too reckless."
It's better to be darker, that means you don't care about your own image.
"Your Majesty is the bottom line."
Fang Xing's words left Zhang Fu speechless, so he could only mutter: "You, your Majesty, you are just fishing!"
"This is a decisive battle, I'm not here..."
Fang Xing felt betrayed by Zhu Zhanji.
Zhang Fu didn't know what he was thinking, so after persuading him for a while, he was invited by Wuyou to build the net together.
"Fish! Fish!"
Huanhuan followed Wuyou and clapped her hands happily.
The fishing net was slowly pulled back to the shore. When they saw the hanging fish, the two children were very excited.
Wuyou took Huanhuan to get the fish, and finally got half a basket, then ran over to show off: "Dad, there are so many."
"Good girl, good son, let's go home and make fish in sour soup!"
Fang Xing praised the children, Wuyou and Huanhuan were walking in front of them with high spirits, and he and Zhang Fu were talking behind.
"The Imperial College is over, Dehua, you have to be spared and spared, otherwise there will be another turmoil."
…
Fang Xing entered the city.
On the morning of the second day after returning to Beijing, he appeared outside the imperial city yawning.
Later, Yu Jia came to greet him in person, giving him enough face.
"Xinghebo has had a hard time traveling this time."
Yu Jia took the initiative to chat with Fang Xing, and Fang Xing replied without a word, very calmly.
After Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, Fang Xing deliberately distanced himself from Yu Jia and Jia Quan, just to avoid suspicion.
Yu Jia had been waiting for Fang Xing to ask her about the affairs in the palace, but she was still speechless until Fang Xing went in to see his majesty.
He is still bold!
Yu Jia felt that those remarks that Fang Xing came out of Beijing to avoid trouble could be stopped. Anyone who believed it was a fool.
Fang Xing reported the circumstances of his trip, and finally mentioned Atai, who had followed him back to Beijing.
"Atai has been outside the Great Wall for many years and has made great contributions."
Zhu Zhanji simply defined it as meritorious, but unfortunately, Atai can only enjoy wealth from now on.
"How is Uncle Han Wang doing in Huazhou?"
This is what Zhu Zhanji is most concerned about right now.
Speaking of the King of Han, Fang Xing felt much more relaxed: "His Highness is very comfortable in Huazhou. Before I left, His Highness and his people had already set off to explore a more suitable place to settle and prepare for later immigration."
Zhu Gaoxu's temper was absolutely restless. As soon as he arrived in Wugui Town, he ordered the population to be cleaned up, and all the strong men had to undergo training.
Later, he sent scouts deep into the interior, and then personally led the team out to build a large settlement in the interior of Huazhou.
"I brought back a lot of gold and silver this time, all produced from Huazhou and Nanhai."
"Okay! It's just Xia Yuanji's body, I'm afraid..."
Xia Yuanji was dying. When Fang woke up and arrived at Xia's house, Xia Yuanji had fallen into a coma.
He sat on the edge, thinking about the past between the two, and refused to leave for a long time.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are the order of the day, but Xia Yuanji, who was still full of energy and could curse when Fang Xing left, could no longer get up.
After walking out of Xia's house, Fang Xing stood outside, squinting at the blue sky.
"Xinghe Bo."
When Shenyang came, he gained a lot of weight, and his formerly gloomy scarred face became more kind.
this is life!
Only now did Fang Xing understand why the emperor wanted to seek immortality.
After they enter middle age, they will watch their predecessors continue to age with panic. When this panic changes from quantitative to qualitative, it is not unusual for them to favor outsiders.
"Those people who party frequently are very wealthy. Where does the money come from?"
"Uncle Xinghe, they are a few wealthy businessmen, and there are people behind them."
"Are those people amazing?"
Fang Xing stretched out his hand, and the sun shone warmly on his palm.
Shen Yang said in embarrassment: "Uncle Xinghe, a businessman headed by him..."
Fang Xing shook his head, looked at Shen Yang and asked, "Whose person?"
He knew that this person's background was not small, otherwise even Shangshu would not make Shen Yang hesitate.
Shen Yang whispered: "He is Yang Shiqi's son."
"Yang Ji?!"
Fang Xing almost blurted it out.
Shen Yang nodded and said: "Yang Ji has been in his hometown. This time, a wealthy businessman from Jiangxi was involved. The businessman has already won, but he confessed that Yang Ji's shares in his family's business were 30%."
Fang Xing covered his forehead and said, "Did Yang Ji get involved?"
Shen Yang hesitated for a moment, "I don't know. The wealthy businessman confessed that Yang Ji was involved in the Knocking Que incident, but there was no evidence of the letter. He also said that after reading the letter, the sender immediately ate it."
Fang Xing almost wanted to laugh out loud. He shook his head and said, "Yang Ji can't be so stupid and still eat letters. That's nonsense."
Shenyang also laughed and said, "The information transmitted by the Jinyiwei is not so exaggerated. Naturally, most of the subordinates do not believe it. It's just that this wealthy merchant gradually became big because of Yang Ji..."
Fang Xing was also a little overwhelmed.
The only one among the regent scholars who Fang Xing did not dislike was Yang Shiqi, and Yang Shiqi also praised his own son, always saying how well-behaved and how he did not cause trouble in his hometown.
"Back then, Lord Yang brought Yang Ji back to his hometown and did not arrange a position for him. This is selfless. But Yang Ji..."
Shenyang shook his head and said, "The Jinyiwei received some news that Yang Ji was not very well-behaved in his hometown and was a bit dandy."
"Dandy?"
Fang Xing remembered the past when a businessman bought Yang Shiqi's calligraphy and paintings from Yang Ji. At that time, he reminded Yang Shiqi, but Yang Shiqi believed in Yang Ji without a doubt.
"There are many kinds of dudes."
Fang Xing said expressionlessly: "Some just like to go out and show off and brag, and don't do their job properly. Some bully their neighbors and do all kinds of evil. Which one are you talking about?"
Shenyang bowed his head slightly and said: "Your subordinate... Some people in the local area say that Yang Ji has killed someone."
"Is it true?"
Fang Xing stared at Shenyang and asked.
Shenyang smiled bitterly: "After hearing the news, your subordinate has sent people to Jiangxi to investigate, and the news will be reported back soon."
Fang Xing turned around and looked at the gate of Xia Mansion, and said: "Lord Xia is afraid that he will not be able to do it. If Yang Shiqi goes down again, there will be some shocks in the court. The timing is not good!"
Shenyang's eyes flickered and said: "Xinghe Bo, what do you mean..."
Fang Xing patted his shoulder and said seriously: "Don't speculate on these. As the commander of the Jinyiwei, you need to judge right and wrong, not how big the power behind this person is."
Shenyang bowed and said: "Your subordinate is wrong."
He thought of Ji Gang. Didn't that person start from these small things?
Moreover, the East Factory has been trying to find out the Jinyiwei's big mistake. If it is exposed, it will be Shenyang's big crime of colluding with Yang Shiqi.
Shenyang couldn't help sweating when he thought of this.
Fang Xing said meaningfully: "Stand firm."
Shenyang bowed and said: "Thank you, Xinghe Bo, for reminding me."
Fang Xing said: "Go back, this matter... I will go to Yang Shiqi to ask."
