The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 578

[Chapter 578 Go for a walk outside the city]

It was fine at first, the old emperor said, and Fang Xiu listened.

Only when he talked about the ‘disease that prevents him from serving as an official’, even a man as shameless as him couldn’t help but blush. He said sheepishly: “I have a brain disease, I have a brain disease.”

Don’t mention it. This was okay. When he mentioned this, the old emperor became even more angry. He glared at him and said: “Your brain disease is very useful. If you commit mischief, you have a brain disease. If you do good things, you will serve the country and the people.

” “

Fang Xiu suddenly stopped talking.

The old emperor took a deep breath, suppressed the emotion, and then continued: “Since I have helped you so much, shouldn’t you also help me?” When

Fang Xiu heard this, he wanted to say: No Did I just save your life?

Of course, he only dared to keep these words in his heart, and he would definitely not dare to say them out.

He just said: “I am your Majesty’s minister. If your Majesty orders you, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!”

Emperor Chu shook his head and said: “I don’t need you to go through fire and water. I only hope that after I follow my ancestors, No matter whether it is Prince Kang or Hao’er who is sitting in this position, you can help them.

I know that you are truly talented, and you are the talent of Wang Zuo. I also know your temperament and disdain for fame and fortune. .

I just hope that because I have helped you block so many hidden arrows, you can stay at the court for two more years until the new emperor stabilizes the court and understands the way to be a king before leaving.”

Fang Xiu heard this , but was stunned.

No matter how you listen to it, it sounds like you are asking for help!

People always look for famous princes and ministers to ask for help. The old emperor is about to die, but he puts this important responsibility on his shoulders. Fang Xiu

wants to say: I am too weak to take on such an important task. You princes and ministers Only when you are old can you take on this important task.

However, when he looked up and saw the old emperor’s slightly tired face and eyes full of hope, he couldn’t say anything.

He paused, looked at Emperor Chu, put away his playful smile, and said very solemnly: “I will do my best to live up to your Majesty’s trust!” When

Emperor Chu heard this, he seemed to be relieved and looked towards In front, he continued to walk forward, saying as he walked: “I know that you are a person who is extremely committed to your promises. There is nothing you can’t do that you promise to do.”

“”

Fang Xiu was speechless.

He really didn’t expect that his reputation in the capital would be so bad. In the eyes of the princes, ministers and the people of the capital, he was just a slightly smarter playboy and spendthrift.

Why did he become an omnipotent and talented person in the eyes of the old emperor?

What exactly caused the old emperor to have such a misunderstanding of himself.

He thought for a while and said: “Your Majesty’s dragon body is in good health and there will be many more days to come. It is too early to say these words.”

The old emperor shook his head and did not answer. Instead, he thought of another thing. He glanced at Fang Xiu and said, “I originally intended for you to be Yan’er’s consort. Do you know this, right?”

“Ahem”

He was caught off guard. When he heard this, Fang Xiu almost fell down.

After calming down, he didn’t deny it. He just said: “Ahem, that’s what the rumors in the market say.” He

neither denied nor admitted it.

When Emperor Chu saw this, he glanced at him and said calmly: “I heard that you and Yan’er have been very close these days?”

“”

Fang Xiu did not dare to speak.

After all, Emperor Chu has also lived in Fang Mansion for a few days. Even a fool can understand his relationship with Zhao Yan.

When Emperor Chu saw his trembling look, he sighed and said, “That’s all, I won’t ask anything about this matter.

Yan’er still has two years to go. In these two years, don’t let me catch you doing anything to Yan’er.” Do something bad, or else.”

The following words were not spoken, but the meaning was self-evident.

After hearing this, Fang Xiu said silently in his heart: So, if you don’t catch me, everything will be fine?

Of course, I would never dare to say this.

You only have one life, there is no need to risk your life on such things.

The two people walked along the street for a while.

Emperor Chu said again: “By the way, what did you say about the palace just now?”

Fang Xiu was slightly startled, and suddenly understood that Emperor Chu was talking about the things mentioned at the wonton stall just now, so he repeated: “I said, the palace The house has been cleaned up, Your Majesty can return to the palace. “

“Yes.”

The old emperor nodded without giving an accurate answer and continued to move forward.

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he cursed in his heart.

Could it be that this old guy lives in his own home and is used to it?

It seems that one day we will discuss the accommodation fee with him.

“What are you thinking about?”

At this time, Emperor Chu seemed to have noticed his thoughts, glanced at him, and asked.

When Fang Xiu heard the voice of Emperor Chu, he hurriedly corrected his attitude and said seriously: “I am thinking about where to go to find Senior Nangong.”

Senior Nangong is referring to the royal servant who is good at poisonous poison.

When Emperor Chu heard this, his eyes towards Fang Xiu became more kind. He waved his hand and said: “There is still half a year, so this matter is not urgent.

But there is another matter, and I still need your help. “I

almost vomited blood. “

In just half an hour, the old emperor had no idea how many things he had to explain to him.

Does this old guy think of himself as Superman?

Even Superman can’t do so many things at the same time, right?

Although he thought this, he said it as: “Your Majesty, you command.”

Fang Xiu thought this, and it was impossible for the old emperor not to notice it.

He glanced at Fang Xiu, with a smile on his face, and said: “Is it annoying you to have you stay with me for such a while?

I guess you are probably slandering me in your heart now.

Old man, where did you come from so many words? “

Am I right?”

“I’m wronged.”

Fang Xiu suddenly looked aggrieved. He looked at the old emperor pitifully and opened his mouth to complain, but was stopped by Emperor Chu.

“Okay, I know your temper, so don’t say these words.

I only want you to accompany me to do one last thing.”

After saying this, he paused, with a serious look on his face, and looked at the gate of the city gate. direction, and said: “These days, I have seen almost everything in Kyoto City. There is only one

day left. I want you to accompany me for a walk outside the city to see how the people outside the city live. , Is it the same as what I heard from the cabinet, the six ministries, and the government offices of various states?”

At this point, a cold light flashed through the eyes that had always seemed very deep.

When Fang Xiu saw it, he was slightly startled and combined with what the old emperor said before.

He seemed to have thought of something, and with the same serious expression on his face, he cupped his hands and said, “I obey your order!”
