Chapter 142 Rewards for merit
His Majesty Li Er was almost overjoyed! Looking at this dark-faced boy in front of me, the more I look at it, the more I like it, the more I look at it, the more I like it!
I am so relieved!
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had a clear understanding of Fang Jun's shamelessness. There was simply no limit!
Symptoms! What a sycophant!
Of course, in fact, it’s more about envy, jealousy and hatred... Why didn’t we do this?
His Majesty Li Er was delighted and solemnly said: "Guo Aiqing, this Zhenguan Li will be copied by you in Sinong Temple. I will issue the decree and spread it throughout the world!"
Guo Siben bowed and accepted the order.
His Majesty Li Er looked at Fang Jun again and saw that this boy had a calm face and was not arrogant at all. He was very happy and thought about how to reward him. He holds the world with both hands, and is very clear about rewards and punishments. If he cannot be rewarded for such a great achievement, how can he show his imperial domineering power?
Just as he was thinking about it, someone suddenly coughed and someone stood up from the class. The corners of His Majesty Li Er's eyes twitched, and there was a thump in the bottom of his heart!
broken!
Could this old guy want to compete with me again?
How careless! Facing the "Zhenguan Plow", I couldn't hide my pride for a while. This was because this old guy caught me in a painful foot!
Your mother! This Chinese New Year coincides with a great event, so why can't I have a good time?
His Majesty Li Er suddenly turned gloomy, turned to look at the old man walking out of the courtroom, gritted his teeth and said, "Does Wei Qing have anything to say?"
Looking at this square old face covered with age spots, His Majesty Li Er itched his teeth with hatred. This old guy has been looking for trouble with me all his life. Aren't you tired of it? But when I look at the originally straight back that is now stooped, and the hair and beard are gray, I feel sad again.
Time is not forgiving!
Wei Zheng's dim old eyes looked at His Majesty's strange expression. How could he not know what His Majesty was thinking?
Although he has been in the court for more than ten years as a remonstrating minister, with a reputation for integrity and numerous reputations among the outside world, Wei Zheng knew that only the broad-minded emperor in front of him could tolerate his various stubbornness and achieve his destiny. The reputation spreads throughout history.
If any other emperor dared to challenge the emperor's authority like he did, he would have had his head chopped off, his family confiscated and his family exterminated long ago.
The majesty in front of me has gone from being handsome, elegant, and vigorous when we first met, to being calm, thick, and young-haired now. As time goes by, this country is prosperous, but everyone is getting older.
How many years do you have left to live?
The past events are still vivid in my mind, and it seems that my existence is just to cause trouble for the emperor who has the world in mind. Do I really want to be stubborn for the rest of my life?
This emperor truly shines through the ages!
Wise and powerful, with a mind for the world, showing his authority outside the territory, clear rewards and punishments...
Although he has moral flaws, his achievements over the years have destined him to be an emperor who will be honored for eternity!
That's all, that's all... I've been admonishing for a lifetime, maybe it's time to go along with it...
Thinking of this, Wei Zheng swallowed the admonishment on his lips, bowed slightly, and said: "Once such a tool that benefits the country and the people is born, it will inevitably spread throughout the world and benefit the people. After thousands of generations, the people of the world will I must also express my gratitude for your majesty’s kindness and love for the people, and congratulations to the people! Congratulations to your majesty!”
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were slightly stunned, and then echoed loudly: "Congratulations to the people! Congratulations to our Tang Dynasty! Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
The loud voice echoed in the Tai Chi Hall, and even the officials waiting outside the hall could hear it clearly. Although everyone didn't know what was going on, following the crowd and flattering him was the most basic rule of an official, so they all praised him in unison.
"Congratulations to the common people! Congratulations to our Tang Dynasty! Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Hundreds of officials praised in unison, and the momentum that stirred the world spread throughout the Tai Chi Palace and soared into the sky!
His Majesty Li Er's eyes were red, and his breathing suddenly became heavy!
He, Li Er, came to the throne in a wrong way, so he desires recognition more than any other emperor!
Therefore, since he ascended the throne, he has been working hard at night and night, dreaming of becoming a good emperor like never before! Don't allow yourself to make the slightest mistake, don't allow yourself to slack off even a little bit!
Every time he faced Wei Zheng's merciless admonitions, he wanted to crush this old guy to ashes!
But he also understood that Wei Zheng was right. If he wanted to be a good emperor, he must recognize his mistakes and do what Wei Zheng said.
But, he is also human! He is still an illustrious emperor who holds the world in his hands and holds the power of life and death for thousands of people. How can he have no likes and dislikes, no selfishness, and no desires?
But for the sake of one's own dreams, all negative emotions that may hinder one's achievement of grand hegemony must be suppressed!
Facing the "Zhenguan Plow", he was indeed a little complacent, but just when he was about to be scolded by Wei Zheng again, this old guy unexpectedly went out of his way and sang a hymn?
At this moment, His Majesty Li Er felt that all the 36,000 sweat pores in his body were open in relief. When the depression that had been accumulated for more than ten years was released, it was so refreshing!
I have to say, people are just cheap!
If someone else had said these words, His Majesty Li Er would definitely be happy, but that's all. As an emperor, don't you hear enough good words?
But when these words were spoken from the mouth of Wei Zheng, who had always been a naysayer, the effect was completely different!
His Majesty Li Er laughed heartily, helped Wei Zheng up affectionately, and asked politely: "Since Wei Qing also thinks this thing is of great significance, how should he reward Fang Jun?"
Wei Zheng smiled slightly and said respectfully: "The merits have been determined, and the rewards and punishments are all in the emperor's heart. How can I dare to overstep my authority?"
This shows my attitude: I will give you face to the emperor today, and you can reward me as much as you like. No matter how inappropriate it is, I will definitely not go against you...
His Majesty Li Er felt so comfortable, thinking that if you, Wei Zheng, were always so sensible, wouldn't I be in such a happy mood every day?
As long as Wei Zheng doesn't chirp, no one will dare to question himself!
His Majesty Li Er was in an extremely good mood, and wanted to make Fang Jun a high official. Anyway, the credit for his "Zhenguan Plow" was here, and his father Fang Xuanling was standing aside again. Who wouldn't be wise? be opposed to?
His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and said: "Fang Jun's great contribution will last forever! How can I be ungrateful? The imperial decree..."
Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered a big event that I had prepared for a long time, and I almost slapped myself in the mouth! As expected, one cannot get carried away with one's own complacency. This complacency almost ruined a major event!
Fortunately, I reacted quickly and shut up in time. Otherwise, if it is blocked now, how will it be blocked later?
That contribution is not much less than this "Zhenguan Plow"!
His Majesty Li Er stopped in time, almost biting his own tongue, paused, looked at Fang Xuanling, who had been silent, and asked: "Fang Qing, in your opinion, how should Fang Jun be rewarded?"
When everyone heard this, they were a little bit slanderous.
Who doesn't know Fang Xuanling's indifferent and easy-going temperament? This person would not even touch upon the benefits before his eyes. If you ask this question, would he have the nerve to ask for a big reward?
Isn’t this bullying an honest person?
Sure enough, Fang Xuanling stepped forward, walked out of the courtroom, and said respectfully: "The Fang family has received the emperor's favor all his life. Even if his body is broken into pieces, he can't repay it. He should work hard and die for himself. How dare he ask for credit?"
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand angrily and said: "Anyone who has done well should be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes should be punished. How can I be a person who does not distinguish between rewards and punishments? I will make Fang Jun the Marquis of Xinxiang|County. What do you think?"

"Wei Zheng" and "Wei Zheng" were entangled for a while, but I still thought it would be better not to change it. By the way, sometimes this simplified Chinese character is really stupid. Chinese characters are broad and profound, and if they are simplified like this, the charm and meaning will be gone...
