Fang Zhengzhi's voice was not as loud compared to when he was defending the Ministry of Finance official Yue Hu, but its intensity was ten times as much.
"He has spoken! He has really spoken!"
"He actually blocked the Emperor!"
"Doesn't he fear offending the Emperor at all?"
Fang Zhengzhi's voice reverberated in the officials' ears, distressed their hearts and turned their stomachs. His fearlessness was unbelievable.
In any case, to these officials…
Fang Zhengzhi need not do all of this.
Initially, they could understand Fang Zhengzhi's gamble, because it was for the public to acknowledge the matter, for the Emperor to see the truth.
But now, with the truth revealed, why was there a need to shoulder such a risk?
Nobody could understand.
But deep in everyone's hearts, they knew that once the Emperor was angry, everything would have been as good as gone. Fang Zhengzhi's efforts would be in vain.
