Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

"Not going?"

Li Yansong was momentarily dumbfounded.

Just now, Fang Zheng Yi's expression clearly showed dissatisfaction with the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

As the creator of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and having said those words to Xu Wenshu, he should be the last person who wants to see this scene.

But he actually said he wasn't going?

"Why? Give me a reason!" Li Yansong questioned.

Fang Zheng Yi shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "No reason.

It doesn't have much to do with me.

Why would I go looking for trouble for myself?

What if you don't succeed, and Tao Hui bears a grudge, and comes to harm me in the future?

I'm perfectly happy staying at home with my wife and kids every day, and I don't have to report for duty.

Life is great."

Since others are seeking something, he naturally couldn't agree so easily.

If he didn't fight for some benefits, he wouldn't be named Fang.

"Useless! How can you be so useless!" Li Yansong said, exasperated.

This guy actually wants to revolve around his wife and children?

Inconceivable!

Yang Yingcai, Zheng Qiao, and the others had been paying attention to Fang Zheng Yi's side.

Seeing Li Yansong getting angry, they couldn't help but stand up, wanting to hear clearly.

"I said before that I saw you as a talented person, and it was definitely not an empty compliment, but from the bottom of my heart!

Even if we don't talk about it from the officialdom, I, as your elder..."

"Hey? Don't talk nonsense!" Fang Zheng Yi immediately interrupted, "I'm a驸马 (Imperial Son-in-Law)! The Emperor's son-in-law!

How did you become my elder?

Isn't that being opportunistic?"

"I'm being opportunistic?

... You... you scoundrel!" Li Yansong clutched his chest with a pained expression, pretending to fall.

Coincidentally, Zhang Dongxiang and the others stepped forward and helped him up.

The three old men began to glare at Fang Zheng Yi.

What a beast!

Before he became the Imperial Son-in-Law, he was calling them '舅 (Uncle)' one after another.

Now that his status has changed, he's starting to deny people?

No wonder... now that I think about it, no wonder this kid hasn't actively tried to profit ever since he became the Imperial Son-in-Law...

Ah! So he looks down on our status?

This damn Fang Zheng Yi!

Yang Yingcai sneered: "Fang Zheng Yi! You're denying people after becoming the Imperial Son-in-Law?

Our dynasty governs the world with benevolence and filial piety.

Ignoring your relatives, you're unworthy of being a human!"

"You... you dare..." Li Yansong was so angry that he couldn't speak, pointing at Yang Yingcai with a trembling hand.

"Lord Yang, say less!!!" Zheng Qiao and Zhang Dongxiang rebuked Yang Yingcai together.

Yang Yingcai snorted coldly, folded his arms, and stepped aside.

Zheng Qiao and the two helped Li Yansong smooth his breathing and asked, "What did Fang Zheng Yi just say?"

"I've already laid everything out, but he... he didn't agree.

You guys go talk to him."

Zheng Qiao nodded and slowly walked to Fang Zheng Yi, saying in a deep voice: "Commander Fang, since Duke Li has already laid everything out with you, then I'll just say the important points."

"I, as an..."

"An elder, right?

Duke Li already said that, change it up," Fang Zheng Yi said.

"....." Zheng Qiao choked, "How can you bear to see the Embroidered Uniform Guard continue to decline!"

"What can't I bear?" Fang Zheng Yi said easily, "To be honest, His Highness the Crown Prince also told me about some of the problems with the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and he looks down on them very much.

If His Majesty is unwilling to rectify the Embroidered Uniform Guard, then we'll just wait for His Highness to handle it in the future.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard is so corrupt, without morals or a bottom line, I wouldn't feel bad even if it disappeared."

Zheng Qiao said unhappily: "Nonsense!

When that time really comes, what kind of scenery will the court be like?

Will anyone dare to speak in the future?

Now that you have the opportunity to shoulder the responsibility and turn the situation around, you should take responsibility and take the initiative to be in charge?"

"We have already shown our attitude by inviting you.

Don't disappoint the people of the world."

A big hat was placed on him, but Fang Zheng Yi remained expressionless.

"I have no responsibility."

"....."

Zheng Qiao only felt a sharp pain in his heart, took two steps back, and tightly grabbed Zhang Dongxiang's shoulder, saying with difficulty: "You talk... I don't want to talk to him..."

Zhang Dongxiang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and kept thinking about countermeasures in his heart.

This Fang Zheng Yi, the bastard, is really not that easy to deal with.

He thought this trip would be smooth, but it turned out like this again.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Dongxiang stepped forward, looked directly at Fang Zheng Yi, and said decisively: "Name your price!"

"Good, as expected, you're straightforward!" Fang Zheng Yi said just as decisively.

This is the correct way to start a conversation.

It seems there are still sensible people.

Li Yansong and Zheng Qiao were completely speechless, looking up at the sky.

I'm so stupid, really.

Why did I waste so much time talking to this little bastard?

Wouldn't it have been fine to discuss the conditions directly?

I still thought he was some idealistic young man, but it turns out he's just obsessed with money!

Fang Zheng Yi said: "Then I won't beat around the bush.

Since you are willing to help me get my official position back, then I am naturally grateful to you all.

But I also have concerns.

There are some things I have done and cannot be washed clean.

Everyone who understands, understands."

"Of course, it is impossible for everyone in the court to help me.

Regarding my private life, who knows who will come out in the future and use this matter to attack me, so I want to say something to you in advance.

If anyone has this intention, I hope you can help me solve this small problem.

Of course, this is a gentleman's agreement, and I believe in your character."

Li Yansong said: "You don't have to worry about this.

Those who are willing to help you are naturally gentlemen who keep their promises.

Killing the donkey after it has done its work is not what a gentleman would do.

Anyone who dares to do such a thing will be spurned by the court."

Fang Zheng Yi nodded and said: "Okay, second point, the three of you are all scholars with students all over the world.

You must have many excellent students in your hands.

I hope you will select a group of capable people to teach the children of Yucai Primary School as a volunteer, is that okay?"

"Yes, but don't ask for too much.

At most, say one more!" Li Yansong said warily.

Fang Zheng Yi nodded slightly and held up three fingers: "The conditions I propose are very simple, so you can rest assured.

For this third point, I hope you can use your mobilization ability to invite ministers in the court to regularly attend classes at my Dongjiao University, at least twice a month.

This is purely for your own good, consider it as opening your eyes, how about it?"

Yang Yingcai said disdainfully: "Let the ministers in the court attend classes at your Dongjiao University?

Commander Fang, are you kidding me?

Do you really think that the few college students in your university are qualified to teach officials?"

Fang Zheng Yi said lightly: "Lord Yang, don't look down on my Dongda students.

They are all at their peak.

Don't compare my Dongda college students with ordinary officials, they are all thriving in the private sector.

Also, don't use what you have seen and heard to measure anyone."

"This is my third condition, do you agree?"

Li Yansong slowly shook his head: "This is a bit too much, everyone may not be able to save face."

Fang Zheng Yi said: "It's easy to save face.

Just change the wording, I will regularly arrange a list of specially invited guests at Dongda, inviting colleagues from the court to my Dongjiao University class to inspect my school's teaching results, that should be no problem, right?"

"Okay, then there is no problem, but I don't understand what you mean by this third point?" Li Yansong asked in confusion.

Fang Zheng Yi smiled: "Duke Li, you always think of me too badly.

I actually have no selfish motives, just for everyone's good.

It's good for many colleagues to accept some new things when they are older, everyone being good is really good."
