Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 464: Li Shimin invites again and again, Fang Yuan goes to work
Li Shimin was finally convinced.

After the morning court the next day, Li Shimin asked Wang De to go to Fang Mansion.

But the feedback Wang De brought back was still the same as before: Fang Yuan was ill and could not come back to work.

"Is this bastard just going to waste it like this?"

Li Shimin was speechless.

The memorial in his hand was thrown on the desk, and his mood became angry.

"Your Majesty, Minister Fang is indeed lying on the bed and looks very ill."

Wang De accepted Fang Yuan's money, so he naturally spoke for Fang Yuan.

Moreover, Fang Yuan was also very considerate, pretending to look like him, even his lips were white.

"You go there again and take the imperial doctor for a checkup!" Li Shimin said angrily.

Wang De was about to take action when he was stopped by Li Shimin: "I'd better go there myself."

Li Shimin never thought of asking the imperial doctor to check him, and he could just pretend to be sick and forcefully bring Fang Yuan back.

But doing this will make Fang Yuan feel chilled and is not the optimal solution. There is no need to treat Fang Yuan like this for the time being.

So Li Shimin suppressed his dissatisfaction, pushed aside the memorial in his hand, and visited Fang Mansion in person.

Just do what you say and never procrastinate.

Li Shimin's dragon chariot soon arrived in front of Fang Mansion.

Naturally, as an emperor, it is difficult for the guards to stop him.

In this way, Li Shimin walked to the backyard of Fang Mansion with dissatisfaction, and saw Fang Yuan playing with two children, enjoying family happiness.

Enjoying family happiness at such a young age made Li Shimin feel more dissatisfied.

"His Majesty?!"

Fang Yuan and others were a little surprised.

After confirming that it was Li Shimin, he quickly saluted to the other party.

Du Miaoyan and Su Ziqing were also very sensible and prepared to take the child away after saluting.

"Fang Yuan, I heard that you are sick."

After Li Shimin sat down, he said angrily.

"Yes, Your Majesty, heart disease."

Fang Yuan smiled slightly and sat down as well.

There was tea and cakes here, and Fang Yuan poured them for him.

"I don't care whether you have any worries or not. Now the officials in the imperial court have great opinions on you."

"Let me ask you, will you go back to work?"

Li Shimin said seriously.

"Your Majesty, your heart ailments still need heart medicine. If your illness is not cured, you will not return."

Fang Yuan shook his head and refused without thinking.

In the past few days without work, Fang Yuan felt more and more that such days were also good.

In the morning, I sleep until I wake up naturally. When I wake up, I play with the children, and then I go to inspect various businesses.

In the afternoon, I went to drink tea, go fishing, or do other activities. All in all, my life was quite enjoyable, even better than working.

Being the Minister of Household Affairs has power, but Fang Yuan feels that even if he is not the Minister of Household Affairs, he still has the corresponding power.

Even if you don’t have a position and have an army of firecrackers in hand, who dares not to give yourself face?

"Are you a bastard?"

Li Shimin was so angry that he placed the teacup on the stool.

He glared at Fang Yuan, but Fang Yuan drank tea with a calm expression.

When Li Shimin saw this, his dissatisfaction became stronger and he stopped talking.

Fang Yuan saw that Li Shimin didn't speak, and he didn't take the initiative to speak, so the two of them were in a stalemate.

"I don't have any medicine for you, and I was not bad to you before. Don't be ungrateful."

"If you continue like this without end, the opinions of the officials will become even greater, and I will not be able to keep your official position."

Li Shimin finally spoke first.

He was so angry that he almost left several times, but in the end he endured it.

Fang Yuan is his dream minister, he has outstanding abilities and has a lot of what he wants.

As such a capable minister, Li Shimin did not want him to be forced to take up an official position, or even make the conflict worse.

"Are all the ministers' opinions so big?"

Fang Yuan said a little surprised.

Qin Qiong's request for leave went unanswered for so long, how could so many people have objections in such a short period of time?

Suddenly, Fang Yuan thought that maybe he had misunderstood Li Ke's visit to Princess Xiangcheng last night. Changsun Wuji went to Li Tai because of his own affairs, not the prince's.

"Or else?"

"You don't know how many people are eyeing the position of Minister of Tobe!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly.

The position of Minister of Household Affairs is a position of real power, and many people are eyeing it.

And it goes without saying that Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian wanted Fang Yuan to go back so that they could suppress Fang Yuan.

"That too."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and nodded.

"So, go back?"

Li Shimin said again.

"No return."

Fang Yuan shook his head and refused again.

What happened last night made Fang Yuan guess that Changsun Wuji and others were acting like monsters again, and it must be up to no good.

"Damn things!"

Li Shimin was so angry that he threw away his hands and left directly.

Fang Yuan stood up symbolically without sending him out of the door.

As soon as Li Shimin left, Du Miaoyan walked out from the side.

She and Su Ziqing left just now, just to take her child Su Ziqing away. She stayed behind, just hiding.

"Husband, if you make His Majesty angry like this, he won't hold a grudge, right?"

Du Miaoyan said worriedly.

Regarding loyalty to the emperor, there are some differences between her and Fang Yuan.

Like her late father, she felt that the king should be treated with dedication and dedication until death.

But Fang Yuan is obviously a little different. Although he respects him, there is a different kind of respect.

However, although Du Miaoyan knew that Fang Yuan's character was like this and respected Fang Yuan's nature, he was just a little worried.

After all, Fang Yuan really hasn't gone back to work for a long time, which has a bad influence on himself and the court.

"This may be a trap by Changsun Wuji, so I won't go back yet."

Fang Yuan told what he learned from Princess Xiangcheng last night.

Du Miaoyan had already fallen asleep when Fang Yuan came back last night, so Fang Yuan didn't tell her.

Then when he got up, Fang Yuan forgot about it. After all, it was not a big deal, so he didn't mention it to Du Miaoyan.

"It's them again?!"

Du Miaoyan's eyes suddenly flashed coldly.

The ghost is really lingering, why is he targeting Fang Yuan everywhere.

They are all ministers of the imperial court, and to do this repeatedly is too low their status.

Fang Yuan nodded.

"Husband, you have to fight back against them."

Du Miaoyan said in a deep voice.

The abominable Changsun Wuji, the abominable Gao Shilian.

If their father was here, how dare they do this to Fang Yuan.

Now that their father is gone, do they think they can target Fang Yuan?
"We have already fought back. Even if they don't notice it, they will know it soon."

Fang Yuan laughed.

What he is talking about is the problem of the three major factories.

A monthly salary of more than 30 yuan has to be paid, and the monthly salary has been paid for two months, which is 60 yuan.

For the Changsun family and the Gao family, although 60 won't hurt their muscles and bones, it can still cause them physical pain for a while.

And we don’t know how long it will take for this bottomless pit to become profitable.

"Hahaha, do you want us to add fuel to the fire?"

After Du Miaoyan learned about it, she immediately smiled happily.

"No, it has nothing to do with us anymore."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

Adding fuel to the flames now will only make people gossip.

If they do nothing, when the problems of the three major factories are exposed, people will only laugh at Changsun Wuji and the others.

This time Changsun Wuji planned to let him go back to work, and it was probably the same problem, but Fang Yuan was not sure and was too lazy to confirm.

"That's fine."

"Are you free today? Let's go shopping and call Gao Xiangyu and the others?" Du Miaoyan nodded.

Then he remembered that he wanted to take Gao Xiangyu and others around.

She is the master of the harem and has to take care of the mood of the beauties in the harem from time to time.

If Fang Yuan is not free, she will coordinate Su Ziqing, Gao Xiangyu and others to go shopping and exchange feelings.

"I happen to have some free time, so let's go for a walk."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and decided to set off with Du Miaoyan.

His main task now is to patrol his properties and make adjustments and upgrades.

Many industries have been tagged by Fang Yuan, and it is very likely that they will be moved to Future Island in the future.

These all need to be planned, so Fang Yuan is actually not idle now, but he can control his time at will.

Soon, Du Miaoyan called Su Ziqing and others, as well as Hong Xu Qinggao and others, and everyone went out shopping together.

There are many beauties in the Fang Mansion, and as soon as they go out, they immediately attract the attention of countless people, who all make Fang Yuan extremely envious.

On this day, Fang Yuan and others were very happy and did not come back until the afternoon.

At night, just when Fang Yuan and others were preparing to fall asleep, Li Shimin came unexpectedly again.

"Your Majesty, why are you making such a fuss so late at night?"

Fang Yuan said in great surprise.

"Aren't you sick?"

Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"What's wrong?"

Fang Yuan didn't know what happened to Li Shimin, so he didn't answer directly.

"When you are sick, your beloved wife goes shopping in groups. Who in the entire Chang'an City doesn't know this?"

"If you're sick, just be sick. You're even more high-profile than me now."

"I don't care how dissatisfied you are, go back to work tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest!"

Li Shimin said coldly.

He had received news about Fang Yuan taking Du Miaoyan and others shopping.

It was not that he deliberately made people stare at Fang Yuan, but that several ministers took the initiative to find him.

It is said that Fang Yuan took leave due to illness, but he took his whole family shopping and was very happy. What kind of illness is this?
"That's my heart disease"

Fang Yuan said with a little embarrassment.

He had forgotten about it and had not thought of it during the day.

"You're such a sick person!"

"I will give you a deadline to come back to work the day after tomorrow, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"

Li Shimin said with a cold face.

After saying that, he stood up and turned around to leave without giving Fang Yuan any chance to refute.

Fang Yuan chased after him and wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Li Shimin's eyes.

Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, Fang Yuan could only sigh in his heart, knowing that it was useless to say anything, so he sent Li Shimin out.

Arriving at the door, Li Shimin suddenly stopped.

"You really have no opinion on the candidate for the crown prince?"

Li Shimin said with a solemn expression.

"No."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

"I made a decision very quickly. If you were still there by then, I wouldn't listen to you."

"I suggest you write a letter to me in the next few days so that I can know who you have in mind."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

Regarding the candidate for the crown prince, most of them choose Li Tai now.

But some people also expressed concerns about Li Tai in the letter, that is, he is too fat and will affect the image of the empire.

And there is another most important point, that is, if you are too fat, your body will not be very healthy, and you will die prematurely and so on.

Li Shimin was very angry when the minister below submitted a letter like this, and severely punished the minister.

But I have to say that the minister was right, so Li Shimin summoned the other party and was almost convinced by the other party.

That person was Ma Zhou, a talent recommended by Fang Yuan, which made Li Shimin wonder if Fang Yuan also had ideas.

So he was told to submit the letter as soon as possible. He didn't want to make a wrong choice, and he didn't want the court to experience unnecessary disasters.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to wait for me. I will not support or oppose anyone."

Fang Yuan shook his head, the situation remained the same.

"really?"

"Aren't you afraid that some prince will make you feel uncomfortable after he comes to power?"

Li Shimin looked deeply at Fang Yuandao.

"Your Majesty, why do you feel there is something in your words?"

"If I were worried, I would have chosen to support it."

Fang Yuan frowned slightly and said.

"I understand what you mean."

Li Shimin said nothing and nodded.

Then he got on the dragon chariot and returned to the palace overnight.

Fang Yuan looked at the dragon chariot that Li Shimin left, frowning.

The last deadline he gave tonight meant that he had to go to work?

To be honest, Fang Yuan was still very resistant and would rather let what Li Shimin said happen at his own risk.

However, at this moment, Du Miaoyan walked out.

"Husband, I think it's better to go to work."

"If Gao Shilian wants to suppress you, just ignore him."

Du Miaoyan advised.

Gao Shilian is the Minister of Household Affairs and Fang Yuan’s boss.

Normally, subordinates cannot disobey their superiors, but there are no exceptions.

For example, some people are not worried about attendance or the shoes their superiors give them, so don't be afraid.

"Well, I'm measured."

Fang Yuan nodded and said.

If he goes, he will naturally not be afraid of Gao Shilian giving him little shoes to wear.

Even if Gao Shilian issues work under the orders of his superiors, Fang Yuan can still find reasons to refuse.

As long as you want to mess up, no one can target you. This is the greatest power of officials above the fourth rank. Only the emperor can punish you.

"That's good."

"Go back, it's getting late."

Du Miaoyan smiled softly.

"Okay, go to bed."

Fang Yuan withdrew his gaze, looked at Du Miaoyan, and said with a bad smile.

He approached Du Miaoyan and put his right hand around Du Miaoyan's waist.

Du Miaoyan had given birth to a son, but even so, her waist was as slender as if she had no children.

"Husband, I'm tired of shopping today."

Du Miaoyan suddenly blushed and whispered.

"Do you want to say I'm tired or you're tired?"

Fang Yuan hugged Du Miaoyan's waist tightly and said.

With Du Miaoyan's martial arts skills, how could she be tired just from walking around?

I feel tired because a man like me who doesn't like shopping feels tired.

"You."

Du Miaoyan was worried about Fang Yuan's health.

She was indeed as Fang Yuan thought, that short distance couldn't make her tired.

On the other hand, Su Ziqing, Gao Xiangyu and others were already too tired to go back to bed.

This is also the reason why Du Miaoyan is worried about Fang Yuanlei.

"I'm fine. I'm not tired of sleeping with a beautiful woman."

Fang Yuan laughed.

He held Du Miaoyan's waist and strode back to their yard.

The next day, Fang Yuan slept until he woke up naturally and did not go to work as Li Shimin asked.

However, after Du Miaoyan tried to persuade him several times in the evening, Fang Yuan finally chose to go to work the next day.

Fang Yuan returned to work after taking leave for many days. As soon as he arrived at the household department, it caused a shock in the household department.

Fang Qingping, who was almost marginalized, rushed over as soon as he learned that Fang Yuan was back.

The other officials were waiting for Gao Shilian's arrival with different thoughts.
