Since ancient times, the emperor has been the true dragon son of heaven, rich in the world. Which emperor does not regard himself as the master of the world?

However, Qing Yan believed that the emperor was the helmsman and only controlled the direction of the world's situation.

If these words were to get out, they would not only be considered heretical, but would also make people think that the prince was crazy.

Qing Yan didn't pause: "A strong country means a safe people."

When he left the imperial study, the emperor was angry at first, then relieved, and finally felt complicated.

The emperor has always believed that Qing Yan is strong enough to suppress the old foxes in the court and become the next emperor.

But now, the emperor feels that if Qing Yan really ascends the throne, he might overturn the table.

Not everything that is a good idea is a good idea when it is implemented.

Every change, especially major changes in the court, involves bloodshed.

After the bloodshed and turmoil, there may be a change of regime.

Throughout history, there have been many emperors who were smart but ambitious, and who were too eager to achieve success, which led to their downfall.

The emperor does not want the country to fall into Qingyan's hands.

Outsiders didn’t know what the father and son said, but there were vague rumors that the emperor scolded the prince, and the relationship between father and son, which had just eased, seemed to become a little stiff again.

Fang Nanzhi didn't care about the affairs in the palace. In addition to providing free medical treatment, reading, and watching her parents prepare for her second uncle's marriage, she had one more thing to do every day.

Old Master Fang went to Beijing, and Prince Ning was also brought back. Of course, the trial of Fang Yin's case began.

Anmei moved two small stools, squeezed into the crowd first, and placed them in the front row.

Another maid helped Qian Fengping and Fang Nanzhi to their seats.

It is located in the central position, facing the entrance of the government office. The view is particularly good when you sit down. You can even see the twitching of the prefect's beard clearly.

"Bang!" The gavel slammed.

The yamen runners all shouted in unison: "Mighty! Powerful!"

"Bring Fang Yin's family and the victim Fang Yin to the court!" The prefect said majestically, his eyes falling on the little girl opposite, who was cracking melon seeds and drinking water from time to time.

It seems that the young lady from the Fang family is more comfortable and relaxed than even him, the prefect.

Humph, if the little girl hadn't collected the melon seed shells on a separate tray and dared to throw them around, he would have charged him with disrespecting the court.

Fang Nanzhi smiled foolishly at him, lowered her head and said to her mother.

"Mom, come back tomorrow and ask the servants to sell melon seeds outside. I think there will be a lot of people buying them."

Qian Fengping also noticed that many people around them had glanced at the melon seeds in their hands several times.

He smiled and said, "Okay."

In just two sentences, Fang Yin was already in court. Today he did not deliberately play the victim. He was wearing a dark brown satin robe and a square hat, looking quite decent.

"My humble servant Fang Yin greets you, sir."

Fang Yin lifted his robe and knelt on one knee.

The prefect glanced at his legs and said, "Stand up and talk."

"Thank you, sir." Fang Yin said calmly.

Old Master Fang and the others were also brought up and stayed in the jail for a few days. They looked even more miserable, with haggard faces and tattered clothes, and they did not look well.

As soon as he saw his eldest son's tall and straight figure, tears welled up in Mr. Fang's cloudy old eyes.

"Jinzi, my father's sweetheart!"

Old Master Fang hugged Fang Jin's waist and cried breathlessly.

He became disabled, his beloved eldest son was missing, and his wife remarried. Mr. Fang seemed to be living in hell in the past few years.

The only thing that allowed him to persevere was that his precious eldest son was destined to have a great future.

Now that he saw the person standing in front of him, he seemed to have regained his confidence.

"Dad..." Fang Jin felt a little soft-hearted.

Maybe he was really unlucky, he was framed while studying, and the people he met were insincere, but his father was real.

Dad really loves him.

"Jinzi, where have you been? Why didn't you come home all these years? Why are you so cruel and don't come to find your father?"

Mr. Fang's voice choked with sobs.

Then he paused and said, "Boss, you are dressed so well. Did you pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official? Did you come here to bring dad here to enjoy the good life?"

Grandpa Fang felt an immense surge of anticipation, as if his long-held wish was about to come true.

"Dad knew you were the most capable son. What rank of official would you hold? Surely you're no worse than that idiot second son or that bastard third son, right?"

The warmth in Fang Jin's heart suddenly disappeared.

But he couldn't show it on his face, he was still very gentle, he just lowered his head and said: "Dad, look at me."

Old Master Fang looked up blankly.

Fang Jin took off the mask in front of him.

When Mr. Fang saw the hideous scar, he took a step back in fear.

Fang Jin didn't seem to care, and just sighed: "Dad, your son is not as lucky as your two younger brothers. Your son was almost killed. Not only was he disfigured, but he also had a lame leg. He will never have the chance to become an official in this life."

This sounds as if if he were healthy, he would definitely be able to become an official.

Fang Nanzhi chewed a plum and mumbled, "Tsk, so sour, so sour."

Anmei was amused: "Miss, are you talking about plums or people?"

Qian Fengping scolded: "Stop talking nonsense and don't disturb the court hearing."

But her voice was so gentle, without any blame in it.

The voices of the mother and daughter were heard by many people in the yamen. The officers took a look and then looked away.

Just pretend you didn't hear anything.

Fang Jin saw it and sneered in his heart. This is the benefit of power.

If it were an ordinary citizen sitting there, the officials would have chased him away long ago. Qian and that little bitch were just here to add insult to injury.

But it doesn’t matter, Fang Jin kept his composure.

Fang Yin and Fang Tong will not have the last laugh. He is the elder brother, and he should be the one with the highest achievements in the Fang family.

He will destroy the Fang Yin brothers.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Fang Yin reached out and grabbed Old Man Fang's arm: "Dad..."

But Mr. Fang dodged: "How could you be lame? How could you be disfigured?"

He murmured softly, as if he was in a nightmare.

After all, he was a scholar's father and knew the rules of the imperial examination, which prohibited people with disabilities or ugly appearances from being accepted.

"If you do this, what will happen to the Fang family's ancestors? How can you change the family?"

Fang Jin's face showed just the right amount of pain, tears in his eyes: "It's my son's unfilial nature that has led to the fall into the evildoers' schemes. Back then, Landlord Wang tricked me into helping him manage his business."

"How could I refuse my father-in-law's request? The deal was done, the money and goods were exchanged, but the other party's manager's inn accidentally caught fire and lost the money."

"Later, my cooperating partner came to question me, and I tried my best to explain. But who knew that this was a setup against me from the beginning."

"It's Su Qingya. I raised her for more than ten years. Even though I'm not her biological father, I at least let her grow up safely, but she hates me."

"Father, she returned to the Earl's Mansion and married a ruthless man like Prince Ning. She bribed someone to frame me for the missing silver and even sent someone to kill me."

"I was lucky enough to be rescued by the Third Princess, but my legs are broken and my face is disfigured. I'm so ashamed. I don't know how to face you when I return home. I'm afraid you'll be disappointed in me."

Fang Jin shed two lines of tears, not knowing how much of it was real and how much was fake.
