Chapter 346: Zhang Jie: I've definitely made this good brother Fang La!

"What virtue or ability does this subject have to receive such courtesy from Your Majesty?"

Fang La, moved by Zhang Jie's humility, had tears in his tiger eyes.

Now he finally knew why so many wise ministers and fierce generals were united around Zhang Jie.

It is lucky for a monarch to have wise ministers and fierce generals, but isn't it also their luck for wise ministers and fierce generals to have such a monarch?

The Right Prime Minister Chen Wenyun, who is now governing the world in the Great Gan Secretariat,

was just a down-and-out scholar who barely passed the imperial examination at the age of thirty.

The Left Prime Minister Wang Lun, whose position is vaguely above his, was even a failed scholar who became a bandit at Liang Shan.

Lu Zhishen, the Grand Commander of the Rear Army who controls the Western Army and confronts Western Xia, with signs of starting a war of annihilation, was a flower monk who was expelled from Mount Wutai

and could only hang out at Daxiangguo Temple, watching the vegetable garden to make a living.

Lin Chong, the 'Leopard Head' Grand Commander of the Front Army who chased the remnants of the Great Liao in the northern grasslands, leaving them with no way to heaven

and no way to earth, was just a low-level military officer without a rank.

After his wife was almost bullied by Gao Yanei, the adopted son of Grand Marshal Gao,

if it weren't for the current Son of Heaven standing up for him, making Gao Yanei lose his big brother,

and later handing over Gao Qiu's power of punishment to him,

with his previous gentle temperament, it would likely have been a miserable ending!

"Princess Jin Zhi, come quickly and pay respects to His Majesty."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Fang La called his daughter.

"This slave Fang Jinzhi, has seen His Majesty."

Fang Jinzhi, hiding behind Fang La, moved her lotus steps lightly, came to Zhang Jie, and bowed gracefully.

At the first sight of Fang Jinzhi, Zhang Jie knew that he had definitely made this good brother Fang La.

He didn't hold back, directly pulled Fang Jinzhi's small hand, and smiled:

"Why call yourself this slave? You should call yourself 'this concubine'."

"Your Majesty~"

Feeling her small hand being grabbed by a large hand and feeling the temperature coming from it,

little red clouds climbed onto Fang Jinzhi's pretty face.

Although she had prepared before coming, Zhang Jie's directness still made her feel extremely shy in her heart.

'The gentleness of that lowering of the head is like a water lily shyly unable to withstand the cool breeze.'

Looking at Fang Jinzhi, who was as shy as a water lily, Zhang Jie immediately thought of

the poetry of a certain poet with not-so-good moral character that he learned before crossing over.

It must be said, although this cousin of Mr. Jin's had not-so-good character,

and it is said that friends' wives should not be bullied, he was not polite to his friends' wives,

giving his good friend a bright green hat that was enough to raise a flock of sheep in the Green Green Grassland.

But his talent was still worth affirming,

after all, his "Farewell to Cambridge" was selected for the 21st-century language textbook.

Yes, this poet was Xu Zhimo, who went skydiving without equipment with Lao Da and Director Dai,

and then crashed and died together.

"Go back and wait for me."

Zhang Jie reached out and patted the back of Fang Jinzhi's small hand, leaning into her ear and whispering.

Facing the Son of Heaven's such blatant "teasing" of a maiden,

whether it was the Great Gan civil and military officials or Fang La's old people from the Holy Duke State,

they all looked at the floor, as if there was something particularly attractive about the bluestone floor in front of them

that was only carved with some anti-slip patterns and had no other carving.

Zhang Jie didn't care, heh, I am such a man.

Having struggled for so many years, can't I enjoy myself?

Moreover, according to the agreement he reached with Fang La, Fang Jinzhi was his fiancée.

The interaction between the Emperor and his beloved concubine, as long as it is not too excessive,

even the old pedants in the court who read the sages' books and stiffened their brains have nothing to say.

Moreover, Zhang Jie also had his own legitimate reason that left them with no reason to refute:

I am not lustful; I am working hard for the next generation of the Great Gan.

This official, you wouldn't want the Great Gan to have no successor, would you?

With one high hat, any official would have nothing to say.

Besides, he is the founding monarch, not those child emperors born in the deep palace and

raised by women in the later stages of other dynasties. In the entire Great Gan, who dares to openly oppose him and go against him?

"Your Majesty~"

Fang Jinzhi felt her small face was about to burn up, suddenly broke free from Zhang Jie's palm,

and hid behind her father Fang La, not daring to look directly at the unmasked fiery gaze.

"Your Majesty, my daughter's little daughterly demeanor, I hope you will forgive me."

Fang La apologized to Zhang Jie.

"Where, Princess Jin Zhi is a lady from a good family who doesn't leave the house, this is as it should be."

Zhang Jie waved his hand, not caring much.

Although Fang La's early background was very bad, making a living as a hired hand for a big family,

but by the time his only daughter and youngest daughter Fang Jinzhi was born, he had already joined the Ming Sect,

and although he hadn't become the leader of the Ming Sect, he was already a high-ranking member of the Ming Sect.

As the daughter of a high-ranking member of a big sect with tens of thousands of followers,

even if Fang Jinzhi couldn't be considered born with a golden spoon, she was definitely a lady from a good family.

In this era where marriage relied entirely on the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers,

and the couple hadn't even met before marriage, Fang Jinzhi's move was already considered bold.

If she had met him for the first time and acted like a top prostitute in a brothel,

chatting and laughing freely, even with a hint of debauchery,

then Zhang Jie would have to doubt whether Fang La's family education had failed.

Besides, this feeling of teasing a maiden from a good family is also very good, hehe~

"Your Majesty's benevolence is like the sky."

Seeing that Zhang Jie really didn't care, Fang La felt relieved and even flattered him a little.

"You."

Looking at Fang La, who had suddenly become a bit worldly, Zhang Jie was also a bit dumbfounded.

But this also happened to fit Fang La's life trajectory:

Although he was generous and had great prestige after becoming the leader of the Ming Sect, and everyone in the sect obeyed him,

even doing things like rebelling, which cost heads and nine clans, they followed him.

Don't talk about natural and man-made disasters and not being able to live.

In natural and man-made disasters, it is common for the common people to not be able to live and have to rebel for a bite to eat,

but to say that other high-ranking members of the Ming Sect also couldn't eat and had to choose to rebel is very insincere.

Not to mention their daily savings,

even the followers they had in the thousands couldn't possibly not have food to eat.

It must be known that the more natural and man-made disasters there are, the more prosperous religions like the Ming Sect and the White Lotus Sect, whether open or secret, become.

Among them, there are people of great wisdom and courage like Baoguang Tathagata Deng Yuanjue, just like Lu Zhishen,

and naturally there are also people who want to lie on the credit book or even ride on the heads of the followers, eating and waiting to die, and bullying the people.

Fang La's ability to twist the thousands of threads of the Ming Sect into a rope is indeed unquestionable.

But this does not mean that Fang La doesn't know how to flatter and please his superiors.

Being able to change from a hired hand to the leader of the Ming Sect, Fang La clearly filled his skill points in terms of human relations.

Mere worldliness is a piece of cake for him. ===== CHAPTER 347 =====
