The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 382

[Chapter 382: Tens of thousands of houses in Guangzhou]

Of course, this situation has happened more than once, and Fang Xiu has become accustomed to it.

I just thought that the great eunuch Liu Cheng was cautious, and he always behaved like this when facing everyone.

The two exchanged pleasantries and then walked back to Nuan Pavilion.

Emperor Chu was sitting on the dragon chair. When he saw Fang Xiu, before he could salute, he said, “It’s just you and me here. All the red tape is dispensed with. Sit down.” When

Fang Xiu heard this, he gave a slight smile. Startled, he immediately saluted and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty”

and then sat on the chair.

When Emperor Chu saw this scene, a smile appeared on his old face. He looked at Fang Xiu who was sitting below and said, “Don’t you have a brain disease?

How come you become so law-abiding when you are in front of me?”

Fang Hearing this, Xiu stood up, cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty is a real dragon from heaven descending to earth. As soon as I saw Your Majesty, I felt that the spiritual platform was clear and bright, and all my brain diseases were cured.

However, after I left Nuange, I could not see Your Majesty. The minister’s brain disease has relapsed, and he will inevitably do many things that are not his intention.”

Emperor Chu shook his head, stood up from the dragon chair, took two steps forward, looked at Fang Xiu in front of him, and said: ” I know you are looking down on yourself. I have never been what you think.

Your Fang family has been loyal for generations, and your father An Pingbo has also made great contributions to the court. I know what kind of person you are. “

Fang Xiu .

Hearing this, there was a touched expression on his face, but he was a little speechless in his heart.

What is the meaning of these words that the old emperor said to himself?

At this time, Emperor Chu reached out and patted his shoulder and said: “You and your father, like your ancestors, are loyal ministers and the future pillars of the imperial court.”

I have to say, A pat on the shoulder is really the best way for a person in power to win over people.

If other people, especially the old ministers, had seen the emperor making such an intimate move towards them, they would have been moved and their eyes would be full of enthusiasm.

However, Fang Xiu, who lives in modern times, understands what it means that everyone is created equal, but he has no big feelings about his actions.

No matter what, no matter what dynasty you are in, you have to do dynasty things. Faced with Emperor Chu’s behavior, Fang Xiu’s eyes gradually became moist, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

Then, he bowed deeply and shouted: “I will do my best and die!” When

Emperor Chu saw this scene, he shook his head and said: “That’s all, I don’t use any title for people like you. , or gold and silver treasures can be left behind.

I know that you don’t care about these mundane things. What you want is to play in the world and live a happy and happy life.

However, you have to understand one thing. How can you attach yourself to a country?

A country must come first, and then a family. Now our country is in troubled times. On the surface, things are calm, and the country is prosperous and the people are safe. Even if the Central Plains is suffering from disasters, it is much better than in previous dynasties

. There is an undercurrent surging. Not to mention the chieftains in the southwest and the Duke of Guizhou, we are gradually no longer united in one heart and one mind, but the Qiyan tribe on the grassland is a big scourge

. It has become a more troublesome problem.

There

are also pirates in the southeast who are secretly gathering to plot evil.

These things have been weighing on my mind, and I have trouble sleeping and eating every day.

“

, Fang Xiu still understands.

So, after hearing what Emperor Chu said, Fang Xiu bowed deeply and wanted to say something.

However, Emperor Chu stopped him before he could speak.

“I know what you want to say. I will tell you again. From now on, if there are no other people in front of me, these red tapes will be avoided.”

Emperor Chu took a deep look at Fang Xiu and continued. : “I’m telling you so much, I just want to tell you one thing, I trust you.

No matter if you really have a brain disease, or you are trying to make yourself look down on yourself, or you are trying to avoid responsibility.

As long as you don’t commit any excesses I don’t care about your guilt, and I can even give you whatever you want.

I only have one request, and that is that you can stay in the court and help me support Dachu before I can truly stabilize myself .

!”

These words were spoken with sincerity and without the slightest hint of hypocrisy.

Even people like Fang Xiu who didn’t care about anything found it touching.

Having said this, Fang Xiu has nothing more to say.

He took a step back, looked at Emperor Chu, cupped his hands and said, “I understand, I will do my best.”

Compared with the previous words, this sentence was much more sincere.

Although it was just a very plain sentence, it put a smile on Emperor Chu’s old face.

Emperor Chu looked at Fang Xiu and said in a deep tone: “I know that you are a very smart person and a very talented person.

There are only you and me here. I want to ask you a question, and you have to answer it truthfully. My

two children, Prince Ning and Prince Kang, in your opinion, who is more suitable to inherit my empire?”

Fang Xiu was slightly startled when he heard this. Although the expression on his face did not change, his heart was aroused. Stormy sea.

There was a look of hesitation on his face. After a moment, he finally handed over his hands and said: “The two princes and their highnesses are both good and bad. I really dare not make any judgments.” When

the Emperor of Chu saw this scene, he said: “I know What you are thinking about is nothing more than worrying that I am testing you to see if you are rebellious. Maybe you think that I am sitting on a throne and do not understand the affairs of the people and what is happening in the capital.

But I tell you

.

, I know more than you think, and I know you better than you think!

I know that even if I give up this throne to you, you would not be willing to sit down

if I didn’t force you to participate in the review .

In the imperial examination, I’m afraid you just want to be the eldest son of your Fang family, eating, drinking, having fun, and playing games for the rest of your life.

“

When it came to the last sentence, Emperor Chu’s A smile appeared on his face and he looked at Fang Xiu teasingly.

When Fang Xiu heard this, he looked embarrassed at first, and then said with a serious face: “Your Majesty’s words are a false accusation against me. There is only one Xiu’er who takes care of me, but there are not many maids.

The so-called eating, drinking, and having fun are only done occasionally. I also have ambitions. Even when I am eating, drinking, and having fun, I am only thinking about one question.”

“What question?”

When Emperor Chu heard this, his old face was filled with confusion. He showed a curious expression for the first time, looked at Fang Xiu, slowly spoke, and asked.

At this time, Fang Xiu’s eyes showed a firm look. He looked at Emperor Chu and said righteously: “With tens of millions of mansions, it will protect the people of the world and make them happy!”
