The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 576
[Chapter 576 The position of crown prince]
With these three things, everything happened naturally.
Even late at night, the British prince was still wearing light armor, as if he knew that such a day would come. From Fang Xiu’s visit to the time he showed up to receive the order, There was only a short period of time for half a stick of incense.
The garrison troops in the towns outside the city were originally transferred from other places. Seeing the tiger talisman was like seeing the emperor. They didn’t even need Fang Xiu to show up. They followed the order and retreated thirty miles from the imperial city. They no longer posed any threat.
As for the soldiers recruited by King Ning, they were originally a mob. Even compared with the guards of the Fang Mansion, they were inferior. What’s more, it took only one night to face the sixteen guards of the pro-army army. were completely wiped out.
Of course, even if Fang Xiu led people to search the entire palace, they could not find Prince Ning.
He must have predicted all this in advance and ran away early.
Even so, Fang Xiu still did not relax his vigilance. He first ordered the sixteen guards to guard the important roads, and then personally led the guards to search everywhere.
Although Prince Ning was not found until the end, many remnants of the Poison Gu sect were uncovered. In addition, the Duke of Wei, who had a relationship with him, was also found in an abandoned temple. turn up.
When they found him, he was still disguised as a beggar, and his dress was almost the same as Fang Xiu when he sneaked into Kyoto City.
You know, Fang Xiu relied on this to sneak into Kyoto City. Playing these tricks in front of him is tantamount to playing tricks on his own.
In addition, there are people from the Secret Service.
This time, because the Secret Service was slow to respond, everything was cleaned up from top to bottom.
Among them were Fang Xiu’s acquaintances.
It was the guy who was arrogant in front of him by searching for the remnants of the Poison Gu sect. I can’t remember his name clearly. His surname seems to be Yuan?
All in all, as long as the emperor has nothing to do, the city of Kyoto, or the country of Chu, will never change what it was like before.
If there is any change, it is that the battle for the right to inherit the throne, which has lasted for several years or even more than ten years, has finally come to an end.
There is no doubt that after this incident, the biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly King Kang.
He successfully aspired to be crown prince without any effort.
Today there are only three princes in total, one is still young and the other has committed a heinous crime. No matter what the choice is, there is only one suitable candidate left, that is
King Kang. For a while, Prince Kang’s palace was full of people.
In just a few days, countless people came to visit.
All this, in Fang Xiu’s eyes, was naturally dismissive.
What fell in the old emperor’s eyes made him shake his head and sigh, not knowing what he was thinking.
“Your Majesty, Eunuch Liu has been in the palace for seven days. There should be no more trouble. I suggest you go back to the palace.”
There was a wonton stall not far in front of Prince Kang’s Mansion.
Fang Xiu and Emperor Chu were sitting opposite each other, each eating a bowl of Chaos.
“I have lived in the temple for a long time, and it is a rare opportunity these days to take a walk around Gyeonggi Mansion and take a look.
If you are so anxious to let me return to the palace, you may not be dissatisfied that I eat too much, so you won’t give you any money. ?”
Emperor Chu picked up the bowl, took a sip of soup, looked at Fang Xiu, and said with a smile, just like the common people in the market.
After getting along for more than ten days, the relationship between the two people has become more harmonious than before.
Fang Xiu was more relaxed than before when facing Emperor Chu.
Hearing this, he looked at Emperor Chu and said with a smile: “Your Majesty, this time, every one of the shops in the minister’s residence has suffered.
In fact, these are all secondary, the most important thing is Baolefang. All the money I originally earned has been taken away, and I can’t even pay the wages to the guys.
You can’t blame me for being stingy, I really have no money.”
This is actually true.
What kind of relationship does Fang Xiu and Prince Ning have
if they don’t start fighting when they meet? That’s already considered a good thing.
After King Ning came to power, the first group of people to be liquidated were of course those related to Fang Mansion.
Not to mention anything else, even the heavyweight guards in the Shenji Camp were dismissed in just two days.
Liang Hu, such a quasi-grandmaster level master, a general who was well-versed in leading troops and fighting, was charged with an unfounded crime and imprisoned in the dungeon for no reason just because he served under Fang Xiu.
There are also those shops in Fang Mansion, whether they are Chunfeng Building, Zhuxuanzhai and Jingshi Grand Theater, one by one, they are all closed.
Of course, fortunately, Prince Ning was driven out by Fang Xiu within a few days.
Liang Hu didn’t suffer much in the dungeon.
The shops in Fang Mansion haven’t had time to move yet.
Fortunately, Fang Xiu had the foresight to not put all his eggs in one basket. He only left a few thousand taels of silver in Baolefang for emergencies and hid the rest.
Otherwise, the losses will be huge!
“You.”
When Emperor Chu heard this, he stretched out his hand, pointed at Fang Xiu, and said with a smile: “I know I can’t hide from you. It’s just such a few thousand taels of silver that you have been talking about in my ears for several days.
I remember correctly. In the past two months, you made 300,000 pieces of silver just by reselling your mansion, right?
Fang Xiu said: “Your Majesty, all this money is useful.
“
Think about it, where did the money come from for the pro-military review?
There are so many beggars and so many refugees in the porridge shack you just went to the south of the city yesterday. How much food should be eaten in this day, every grain of it? Food, every drop of water, as well as the firewood and the porridge helper all need money.
I am not a lover of money, nor am I a miser. It is only with this money that I can better serve the court and serve the people. Your Majesty, please serve me.” Before he finished saying
“De”
, Emperor Chu waved his hand and said, “I can’t help you. Whatever happens to you becomes a major matter for the country and the people. I will write you a handwritten edict later.” .
How much money does your Baolefang lack? Just go to the inner treasury to get it.” When
Fang Xiu heard this, a smile appeared on his face and he said happily: “Your Majesty is wise, I thank you! “
Emperor Chu seemed to have thought of the little money left in his inner treasury. He showed a distressed expression on his face. He didn’t want to talk to Fang Xiu and continued to eat his wontons.
After eating, he seemed to think of something and took a look. The doorman in front of Prince Kang’s Mansion, who was still smiling at all the visiting guests, turned to look at Fang Xiu again.
A naughty and mysterious expression suddenly appeared on his old face, and he came closer to Fang Xiu, lowering his voice and whispering. He asked: “Fang Xiu, who do you think is more suitable for me to pass on the position of Crown Prince to Prince Kang or Hao’er? “
“”
When Fang Xiu heard this, he was startled for a moment, then looked at Emperor Chu with a troubled expression, and said: “Your Majesty, you are making things difficult for me.”
