The happy life of a prodigal

Page 415

It's already like this, it's really... really Wang Zuozhi's talent!

They were all ministers of pillars, and they were old, so it was naturally impossible for the Emperor of Chu to let them kneel forever.

After only a moment, he waved his hands and said: "I know that you are also for the imperial court, you are all pillars of the ministers, you are my right-hand man, without you, the imperial court will be in chaos.

I only hope that you can learn the lesson from this time. If you can’t take it for granted, you have to learn from New Amber. What does New Amber say in a book?

Does practice bring true knowledge? This is the truth. "

When everyone heard His Majesty quoting Xin'an Bo's words, their expressions became a little strange, but they still said respectfully: "I understand!"

"Okay, it's good to understand, everyone get up, the ground is cold." Chu Huang waved his hand.

Since the heating was installed in the warm pavilion, even in the coldest time, it is like spring here, where is it cold.

But the elders were still so moved that they seemed about to shed tears: "Your Majesty is sympathetic to my ministers, my ministers... my ministers..."

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Emperor Chu: "Okay, what I hate the most is this kind of red tape. You all know that, if this is the case, why do you have to act like this? When I argued with you just now, I didn't see you like this. …”

"..."

When the elders heard this, their expressions immediately froze on their faces. They didn't cry, they didn't laugh, they couldn't even smile, and they didn't know what to do for a moment, they just stood there in a daze.

Emperor Chu was too lazy to care about them, waved his hands, and said in a rather high-spirited manner: "Come here, draw up an order, and I want to make Xin'an Bo the Marquis of Xin'an!"

Chapter 655 Indifferent to fame and wealth is the way to rest

Being a Marquis is a big deal. You must know that if you don't have the merits of the dragon, you will be a Marquis at most!

It is reasonable for Uncle Anping to be a Marquis. In any case, Uncle Anping has made great achievements twice. First, he put down the rebellion of the Southwest Tusi, and then he put down the rebellion of the Duke of Guizhou.

Adding up the two military exploits, it is a bit unreasonable not to be a Marquis...

But Xin'anbo, let's not talk about Xin'anbo's qualifications, age, or Fangfu just conferred a marquis, just talk about military exploits... What military exploits does Xin'anbo have?

They don't deny Xin'anbo's merits, but these merits are all above the court, and they are not military exploits!

But conferring marquis and worshiping princes requires real military exploits!

When several people heard this, they all showed hesitation, not knowing whether to persuade or not.

Emperor Chu glanced at them and said: "What are you thinking? I know very well that I named him a Marquis not because I valued him, but because of his merits. Promote the strategy of combining land and land in the Central Plains with the momentum of thunder.

Will the imperial court pay so much more taxes?

If there are not so many taxes, let me ask you, what if the grassland tribes invade?

What Fang Xiu did was not killing the enemy on the battlefield, but it was a real battle achievement!What's more, he was also the one who strongly advocated the attack on the grassland tribes back then!Therefore, I will make such a decision, can you understand? "

Speaking of this, even if you don't understand, don't understand, or don't want to, what can you do?

You can't let the emperor take it back, can you?

What's more, they actually agree with Chu Huang's opinion.

Isn't it just a marquis, and the seal will be sealed.

If the emperor doesn't care about one family and two waiters, why should he care about others?

At present, the only problem is... this Fangfu is afraid that it will rise soon, and it is the first time that it has happened to one family and two families.

Moreover, one is a real martial artist, who is the most capable leader among the nine major town generals, and the other is Wang Zuozhi. Although he is a martial artist, his understanding of court affairs is far beyond others.

The most important of these two is father and son, father and son!

In this way...

The elders sighed leisurely in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say more, after all, His Majesty didn't care.

They really don't understand whether this is a good thing or a bad thing... they can only sigh, that's all.

............

Fang Xiu, who was far away on the Central Plains Road, heard the news that he had somehow become the Marquis of Xin'an, and it was three days later.

"What, Marquis Xin'an?"

Fang Xiu looked at the eunuch who delivered the decree, frowned slightly, and asked, "You are already a marquis, why are you still in Xin'an County? This is the first time I have heard that there is a magistrate. This is not a dwarf's family. Wait?"

"Cough cough..."

Hearing these words, the eunuch who passed the decree almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood.

This Xin'anbo, no, it's Xin'anhou now, what's going on in his mind.

The first reaction turned out to be this?

However, he still explained: "Return to Lord Hou, Xin'an County is now Xin'an Mansion."

Fang Xiu was slightly taken aback, surprised in his heart, there is such an operation?

But it doesn't matter, anyway, he is Lord Hou, and he is still in Xin'an, so I remember being familiar with him.

"Is there anything else your majesty wants to entrust to me?"

Fang Xiu looked at the eunuch and asked.

It was the first time for the eunuch to see such a frivolous Lord Hou, but he knew in his heart that although this one was Lord Hou, the limelight was in full swing, even far surpassing several princes.

So, he respectfully bowed down and replied: "Reporting to Lord Hou, Your Majesty said that you have done a good job in the Central Plains, and it doesn't matter if those gentry beat you, as long as you can promote this place. Your Majesty will support whatever you do..."

These are the words of the old emperor.

Originally, the emperor of Chu thought that the way of the king is the way of balance, and everything is about a balance. In other words, the golden mean...

But when he saw the money Fang Xiu sent, he suddenly understood that after so many years of weighing, weighing, in the end, the benefits of weighing all went to the gentry. If this is the case, what is there to weigh?

It is necessary to use the right medicine, give him a strong medicine, and correct this malady once and for all. There is nothing to compromise, and once you compromise, you will be back to the original point.

His time is running out, all he needs to do is to take advantage of this time to leave more good things for his descendants and get rid of more evils.

"Hmm..." Fang Xiu nodded, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and asked, "Did Your Majesty ever say when he would let me go back?"

The eunuch was startled again.

Is this Central Plains Road not good?To put it bluntly, to be rebellious, this Xin'an Marquis in the Central Plains Dao is like an earth emperor!

That being the case, why do you still want to go back?

Wouldn't it be nice to be a local emperor here?

But how could he, a little eunuch, understand Fang Xiu's thoughts.

This Central Plains Dao is good, no one is in charge of what he does, and he is surrounded by stars and moons wherever he goes.

But it was just like this that made him irritable, and he needed to be the master of everything, and everyone wanted to look for him. When walking on the road, from time to time, several people would kneel on the ground and cry out to him for grievances.

Although he is a dude, he is not a scumbag. When encountering such a person, it is naturally impossible to ignore him.

But regardless of not asking, new problems are involved. Does the person who calls for injustice necessarily have injustice?But it's not necessarily...

In this way, the radish is pulled out with mud, and a bunch of things are endless, endless...

It is no exaggeration to say that he has been suffering from insomnia recently.

He always wanted to return to the capital as soon as possible, so that he would not have to bother with anything.

It's a pity that the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is more cruel.

It has been more than a month since he came to Central Plains Dao, but there is no news of him going back at all, really...

Hey.

Fang Xiu couldn't help sighing at this thought.

The eunuch was even more puzzled when he saw this, but he respectfully bowed down: "Reporting to Lord Hou, Your Majesty didn't say the specific date.

However, His Majesty often talks about you, and often reminds you of you. A few days ago, I heard Your Majesty and Yan Gelao say that the Central Plains Road is almost done, and you will be transferred back to the capital from time to time. I think it should be here a few days. "

"it is good!"

When Fang Xiu heard this, he was even happier than when he got the news of the title of Marquis just now. He waved his hand and said, "I know all about this Marquis, you can go down and rest!"

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

The little eunuch left.

Li Jing came up again, with a look of tears on his face, which made Fang stop wanting to hit him.

"Hou, Lord Hou, if you leave, what will you do with your humble job?"

"..."

Fang Xiu couldn't bear it anymore, went up and gave him a kick, and scolded: "When Master Ben is not around, you will have a good life, hurry back and pack things for Master Ben, Master Ben is going back to Beijing Already!"

Chapter 656 Why Are You Shouting So Loudly?

Li Jing was kicked, but with a playful smile, he approached Fang Xiu shamelessly and asked, "Major General, when are you going back to Beijing?"

Fang Xiu glanced at him, and said calmly: "In the past few days, when you go back and prepare, those gentry have shown me one by one, how I dealt with them before, and how I will deal with them after I leave.

In other words, it's just one word - hit!

Those gentlemen just don't have a long memory if they don't fight, and they can't succeed if they don't fight, you understand? "

Li Jing hurriedly said: "The humble official understands!"

"Go."

Fang Xiu sighed, staying in Linze Mansion for more than a month, it would be impossible to say that he didn't have any souvenirs.

But after all, the capital is his home, so it is impossible to stay in the Central Plains for the rest of his life, right?

Perhaps one day, when he got bored of staying in the capital, he might come back here and live a life of seclusion... maybe.

Fang Xiu thought so, time has passed quietly, seven days later in a blink of an eye.

Fang Xiu has already received the paperwork to return to Beijing. The guy who took over for him is from the Ministry of Household Affairs. He seems to be the servant of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He said that His Majesty gave him a chance to reform and see if he can accept Fang Xiu’s offer. situation.

It turned out that Fang Xiu was actually not very happy.

After the incident in King Kang's Mansion, he didn't have a good impression of the people in the household department, but later the emperor wrote him a letter in person.

All in all, it was to test the attitude of the Ministry of Accounting, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

This day was the day he left, and of course, it was also the day the servant of the household department took over.

Fang Xiu was too lazy to greet him, he just wanted to leave silently alone.

In the past, he might have liked to join in the fun, but was he young and frivolous...

But after experiencing a lot, he felt more and more boring. From then on, for similar things, he always chose to escape when he could, and hide when he could. Of course, this time was no exception.

Fang Xiu didn't tell anyone when he was going to leave. He hates noise now, especially those who pretend to be noisy.

Therefore, when the servants of the government office saw Fang Xiu carrying a bag, they all showed doubts.

I really want to ask: My lord, where are you going?

But thinking about the way adults acted in the past, I still let it go, I should just have nothing to do and go out for a stroll...Is that so?

Fang Xiu didn't care what these people saw for himself, let alone what they thought, nodded slightly, left the mansion, got on a horse, and walked on the street out of the city.

He didn't see a few passers-by when he came and went, which made him feel a little strange, but he didn't take it to heart.

Maybe... the wind is a little strong today?

...........

On the other side, the servant of the household department had also arrived at the gate of Linze Mansion.

A servant next to him said: "My lord, Linze Mansion is ahead."

The servant of the household department nodded, but did not speak.

The Minister of the Household Department and the Jiedushi of the Central Plains are both high-ranking members of the third rank, but their status is far apart.

Although he is a great official in the frontier, how can he compare to a cardinal?

You know, if there are no accidents, in a few years he will be the Minister of the Household Department, and he will have a better chance of entering the cabinet.

The cabinet is arranged according to seniority. In other words, any cabinet elder can be the first and assistant bachelor of the cabinet, as long as you live long enough.

In this way, he was originally going to be an old man and a scholar of the First Assistant University!
