Fang Yuanfu smiled as he looked at Fei Dongyan, his heart was filled with hatred. If not for Fei Dongyan's existence, the changes he and the Prime Minister would have been able to implement even better, and today, Fei Dongyan had actually interrupted him. Although his words sounded like he was thinking for's sake, and was giving him advice, but carefully thinking about it, he knew that Fei Dongyan was not scheming anything at all.
He himself had already ascended the throne for a few years, and his son was already an adult. He was not a three year old child emperor, and he needed Fei Dongyan to teach him what to do!
This Fei Dongyan was getting more and more arrogant!
Fang Yuanfu cursed in his heart, but he did not dare show it. Right now, the most important thing to do was to carry out reforms, a rich and powerful country, and not the time to take care of Fei Dongyan!
"What Grand Preceptor Fei says is reasonable. In that case, this matter will be handled by Great Master Zhang of Shuntian Palace." Fang Yuanfu said with a smile.
"Great Master is indeed a good person." Grand Preceptor Fei stood arrogantly in the middle of the hall. He was an elder of three dynasties, and could bring the Heaven Smiting Whip anywhere on his body, such that he could knock out the emperor, or beat a scoundrel to death. When he saw the emperor, he did not need to kneel like the other officials, and could only bow slightly.
"However, if Zhang Zhaoyang comes to judge the case by himself, he probably won't be convinced enough. This matter involves the royal family and the army, so why don't you choose someone from the royal family and the military to handle this case together?"
Fang Yuanfu was feeling even more unhappy. Indeed, the reason he asked Zhang Zhaoyang to bring in the case was because Zhang Zhaoyang was part of the Prime Minister's faction. However, Fei Dongyan suddenly interrupted him, causing him to be on the defensive again. Although he was the emperor, he could not do as he pleased, especially with the sudden death of his father. His ascension to the throne was sudden, and many of his former retainers relied on their seniority to keep him under control.
"Alright, as the Grand Preceptor's words make sense, then let County Prince Zhu and General Xu participate in this case together. The trial will be held this afternoon. " Fang Yuanfu spoke out the names of two people. Although he was restricted by their names, he still had some rights that he should have on the surface, just like how it was in front of his eyes. Although the Grand Preceptor Fei had repeatedly interjected, he still would not say anything about the specific person he was assigned to. As for who exactly it was, he was the one who decided!
When the morning assembly was over, a king immediately surrounded County Prince Zhu.
"County Prince Zhu, this time, all of our interests will depend on you."
"That's right, County Prince Zhu. You must fix the death penalty for Chang Qianze's son, as long as you fix the death penalty for his son, then the name of Chang Qianze's shield will not escape. Although His Majesty is on his side, it's not as if everything will be decided by His Majesty."
That's right, when the time comes, we will pressure them together. Although we will not be able to make Chang Qianze fall from the position of prime minister, but using this matter, we can still make them compromise and change some of their new posts.
"Indeed, County Prince Zhu, we will count on you for the future of all of us. As long as it's done, you will be our savior! You must be ruthless this time! We can't give Chang Qianze's son and Zhang Zhaoyang the chance! "
All the dukes surrounded County Prince Zhu as they spoke at once. They were very clear that the reason their emperor had chosen County Prince Zhu as his judge was because he was the most useless one among all the dukes and was the easiest one to deal with.
The case may seem like a small matter, but it involved a lot of things. They had no choice but to be careful and give the County Prince Zhu some orders!
"Hehe …" Rest assured everyone, This King naturally knows. " County Prince Zhu laughed heartily. Following his laughter, the fat on his fat lower body started to tremble uncontrollably. If anyone were to watch, they would have to worry about whether this pile of fat would pull his chin down!
County Prince Zhu smiled as he walked forward, "Everyone, wait for this king's good news."
In the Chang Residence, Chang Qianze returned home and called Chang Sheng over. With a slightly worried look on his face, he said, "Sheng Er, this afternoon, you have to go to the court. In the court, you have to be more careful and not be like before."
Chang Qianze gently said. He was not suitable to go to the afternoon trial, otherwise, he would become a weakness in other people's attacks. Thus, he could only give some instructions in advance.
"Court? Chang Sheng has been to the court, it is interesting to go to the court, Chang Sheng likes going to the court! " When Chang Sheng heard his father say the word court, he was suddenly in high spirits. Go to the court, I really like going to the court!
Guo Feng laughed to himself when he heard Chang Sheng's words. Young master must be speaking the truth. Un, if Young Master goes to court, it will definitely be very interesting!
Chang Qianze revealed a look of surprise, he turned and asked: "Sheng Er has been to the court before?"
"Yes, young master has indeed been to the court!" Guo Feng nodded with certainty: "When young master was still at Fengdu City, he had already been to the court."
"Oh, that's good. That's good." He was afraid that Chang Sheng would cause a ruckus in the court. As long as Chang Sheng had been to the court before, that would be good enough. He smiled and patted Chang Sheng's shoulder, and said gently: "Sheng Er, don't worry, Father will definitely ask the strongest Litigator in the city to help you win this case!"
"Cough, cough …"
Guo Feng suddenly coughed twice, and was called Litigator, why would he need to call another Litigator here? Prime Minister. This Guo Feng is untalented, and just so happens to be a Litigator. Guo Feng can fight Young Master's lawsuit. "
"You?" Chang Qianze looked at Guo Feng in disbelief, and only reacted after a long while.
That's right, Guo Feng did say that he was a Litigator, and little brother Chang Qianyi had also mentioned in his letter that Guo Feng was a Litigator. Only now did he forget that Guo Feng was a Litigator. However …
Chang Qianze organized his speech and said: "Sheng Er's lawsuit is to fight with a duke and an army. The other party …"
Chang Qianze did not finish his words, but he thought that he understood his own meaning. Guo Feng was already an Innate Ranker at such a young age, he must have spent most of his time cultivating. Perhaps he really was a Litigator, but he definitely did not have the time to learn anything related to Litigator! Moreover, he was only this old. Even if he had been a Litigator since he was young, it wouldn't take too long for him to grow up. The people who fought against Chang Sheng, wanted money, money, status, it was easy to get a good Litigator, he did not dare let Guo Feng casually go and help his son!
Guo Feng understood Chang Qianze's meaning very clearly, wasn't it because he did not believe in him, but when he sued the young master, the final candidate would be him!
Guo Feng smiled indifferently: "Please rest assured Prime Minister, Guo Feng thinks that he is an expert in handling court cases!"
"What are you good at? Your cultivation … "
"My cultivation can only be considered second in comparison to my ability in court, so, don't worry Prime Minister, Guo Feng will definitely guarantee that young master will be fine!"
Guo Feng looked at Chang Qianze with confidence. At this time, Chang Sheng interjected and shouted: "Chang Sheng wants Small Cause to go with Chang Sheng, it would be more interesting if he followed Small Cause. If it's someone else, Chang Sheng will not go."
"This... "Alright then." Chang Qianze nodded his head, since his son strongly requested for it, then he would let Guo Feng go, and even though Guo Feng was young, he looked very calm, and probably wouldn't shoot for no reason!
In the afternoon, after eating lunch, Chang Sheng and Guo Feng sat on Prime Minister's Estate's carriage and rushed back to the Shuntian Palace.
In the imperial city, there were yamen runners like Fengdu City and Mengshan City. There would also be some lawsuits going on there, but those were all small lawsuits. If there were any ordinary lawsuits, they would be handled in Shuntian.
Before the carriage even reached Shuntian, Chang Sheng could clearly feel the speed of the carriage slow down. He first drove the carriage and took a look at the curtain.
Through the window, Guo Feng looked at the slowly growing crowd at the entrance of the yamen, and whispered to Chang Sheng: "Young Master, although we just arrived at the capital yesterday, it looks like you have become famous. I'm afraid that these people already know about it.
"There are so many idle people. No wonder the country can't flourish with so many idle people!"
Chang Sheng sighed. When the horse carriage stopped, he jumped off the carriage first and ran up to the court without caring about Guo Feng at all.
"That's the Prime Minister's Estate's carriage, right? This man that jumped off the carriage, could he be the son of the Prime Minister?"
"It should be him. I heard that he's being interrogated this time."
"What's there to interrogate? You can tell with a glance that he's a fool. I don't believe in a fool. If you don't provoke him, he'll kill you!" It's not like we don't know who the young master of Zhou Family is! "
At the door of the court, everyone looked at Chang Sheng who was bounding into the court and discussed softly.
When Guo Feng heard the discussion, he chuckled and walked into the court.
Inside the court, following Chang Sheng's entry into the court, a bailiff left immediately from the back door, obviously to inform the presiding officer of the day.
Using this chance to play dumb, Chang Sheng swept his eyes across the court, and discovered that there was no difference from the court he saw in the Fengdu City, the only difference was, during the Fengdu City, a person had come to interrogate him. There was no one at the center table and the one on the right table. Only a man who looked to be in his forties or fifties sat at the table to the left. His face was white without a beard, and he had a scholarly look on his face.
When the man saw Chang Sheng, he first shook his head and sighed, then immediately afterwards, he revealed an extremely kind smile towards Chang Sheng.
