Chapter 511 (2/2)

Fang Xianzhong was not afraid, but excited. He didn't expect that after this battle, he was only guilty of missing one million taels of silver, not king Pei and so on. All of a sudden, he was filled with hope with hope.

What Pei Wang told him last night is clear in his ear: ”it's impossible to keep the position of minister of the Ministry of works. The fifth brother won't give you this opportunity, but there's still hope that you can get rid of your job. The fifth one has promised me. Besides, you still have to get involved with the officials of the royal family. You won't be too hard on you when you come to your mother, but You have to prove Peiyan's greed for ink in the court.

Although it was just these words, even though he didn't know how his royal highness would let him testify before he went to the court today, he was always worried and always wanted to see his Majesty's eyes act. However, the prince's highness was dumb in the court today. He was allowed to argue with the officials in the court, and he did not speak much.

This makes his heart sink, unable to find the prince's hint, then his guilt will not be too light, so with this memorial fell in his hand, his heart finally fell to the ground.

Feeling the strength of Li Hong clapping on his shoulder, Fang Xianzhong knelt down on the hall and said with fear: ”Your Majesty, I'm guilty. I'm sorry In fact, the 1 million taels are not in time for the minister to make an account of it... ”

”As long as it turns out, where are the 1 million taels! Is it you who are greedy for ink or Pei... ”

”Your Majesty, would you like to listen to the room first and then ask questions after you finish?” Wu Mei suddenly breaks Li Zhi's words.

His highness, Li Hong, also had a look of gratitude and palpitation. The empress dowager, who had the same lingering fear with him, sighed softly with a slight tension on her face.

Both mother and son knew that up to now, of the three of them, they and their mother had already understood what had happened in the court, but the father and the emperor had not understood the whole thing. They thought that Fang Xianzhong would testify against Li Xian in the court.

After all, the two unfilial sons, when they go back to Chang'an, make a lot of trouble in changmingfang, and even use knives and guns in changmingfang and bleed to death.

Today, he knew that Li honglai's participation in the court meeting must be to vent Li Xian's obstruction to him. Therefore, it is Li Hong's means to take Fang Xianzhong as an example to deal with Li Xian.

Seeing that his words were interrupted by Wu Mei, Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei blankly. Wu Mei indicated with his bright eyes that he should not be impatient, which made him extinguish the emperor's anger.

”When you return to your majesty, I'm guilty. I should die. I shouldn't believe the words of master Pei Yan and secretly send a million taels of silver to him!”

”Nonsense, when did I collude with you? When will I charge you a million taels of silver? What's the use of a million taels of silver for me? ” Pei Yan is surprised. He thought Fang Xianzhong would testify against Li Xian. Unexpectedly, he pointed the spearhead at himself.

”Mr. Pei, admit it.” Fang Xianzhong, with a bitter face, said sincerely.

”I am not greedy for ink. Why should I admit it? And why should I be greedy for one million taels of ink? You give me a reason Peiyan's nose is about to get angry. When did he take his one million Liang silver.

”This Don't you ask me to support you in front of your majesty for the right servant of Shangshu province? Then you said that when you became the right servant of the provincial government, you immediately recommended me to be the Secretary of the central government in front of his majesty. However, because of the need for public relations, some colleagues who also have the position of the middle Secretary order need 1 million taels of silver to dot other colleagues. ”

”Poof...” Peiyan was half true by Fang Xianzhong's words, and he even spurted out a mouthful of blood.

This is a false accusation that makes it difficult for him to get rid of his innocence. He covets the post of right servant. Not only he, but also other ministers, his majesty, know that he intends to save the right servant's post.

What's more, Fang Xianzhong also promised him that he would be appointed as a secretary. All of a sudden, the matter became blurred and it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
