The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 586
[Chapter 586 Trial Implementation]
Being a good speaker is only the second priority. After all, apart from their smooth tongue, there is nothing else they can do.
The Emperor of Chu was not afraid of being scolded. His merits and demerits would be judged by future generations. He didn’t care what these officials thought of him.
The most important thing is the attitude of the scholar-bureaucrats. In Chu State, the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats jointly rule the world, but now they want to disturb the foundation of these scholar-bureaucrats. There is no doubt that big trouble will occur!
After thinking for a long time, he sighed, waved his hand and said, “Let me think about this again.”
Fang Xiu heard this and knew that Emperor Chu was in trouble.
But he also knows that everything in this world has its pros and cons, and the implementation of a strategy will never affect people of the same class.
Different classes will definitely have different reactions. If they stop doing something because they are afraid of turmoil and bloodshed, in the end, the people’s complaints will only turn into anger, and this anger will break out at some point.
At that time, there will be real turmoil. Even if the court wants to change and the scholar-bureaucrats are willing to make concessions, it will be too late.
Silence, silence, if you don’t break out in silence, you will perish in silence.
Fang Xiu did not choose to give in this time. Instead, he looked at Emperor Chu and said, “I understand your Majesty’s difficulties.
But Your Majesty, besides you, who can sympathize with the sufferings of the people in this world?
The old farmer said before You can see them everywhere in the Central Plains. Not to mention selling wives and daughters, people who sell themselves are everywhere.
Your Majesty, you are afraid that if you disturb the foundation of the scholar-bureaucrats, it will shake the foundation of the country. But in my opinion .
, The foundation of our great Chu has long been unstable.
The people are like water, and the court is like a boat. Water can carry a boat, but water can also capsize it!”
At this point, the expression on Emperor Chu’s face changed slightly.
He paused and continued: “That’s what your Majesty is worried about. Then I have another suggestion, which is to use this as a test and implement it in Zhongyuan Road first to try the effect.
If the effect is significant, we can then expand it to If the effect of each state capital is not significant, or the resistance is really irreversible, it is not impossible to withdraw this policy.”
At this point, he thought for a while and added: “Your Majesty, I am at home. There are also thousands of acres of fertile land. As long as this policy is implemented, I am willing to be the first to pay the taxes on these thousand acres of fertile land!”
When Emperor Chu heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Fang Xiu, but his face did not show any emotion as before! His expression was as steady as an old dog.
When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he understood that the old emperor had already made a decision in his heart.
Sure enough, the next second I heard Emperor Chu say: “In that case, I will do as you say, first implement the strategy of uniting earth and Ding in Zhongyuan Road!”
“Your Majesty is wise!”
Fang Xiu shouted immediately.
After the two people settled on the matter, they ate food in the Nuan Pavilion and chatted for a while.
It wasn’t until the sky got dark that Fang Xiu left the palace and returned to Fang Mansion.
During the time he left Fang Mansion, the changes in Fang Mansion were not small.
There is no doubt that these changes are all thanks to King Ning.
Prince Ning was as big-hearted as a sesame seed. After he came to power, he didn’t do many serious things. The first thing he did was to retaliate.
And the revenge was very poor, just smashing some bottles and cans in Fang Mansion. Little did they know that the real treasures had already been moved to the cellar by Xiu’er.
How could a master like Fang Xiu not be on guard against thieves?
Even so, it will take some time for Fang Mansion to return to its original appearance after suffering such a disaster.
Fang Xiu returned to Fang Mansion, looked at the somewhat messy corridor, shook his head, sighed, and prepared to go back to the house.
At this time, I heard movement on the wall next to the corridor.
Fang Xiu turned around subconsciously and saw nothing but the empty wall.
“Is there anyone there?”
Fang Xiu shouted to the wall, but there was no response.
He was a little confused, but didn’t care. He turned his head and continued walking forward.
At this time, there was another sound from the wall
. This time, it was a little clearer. It was obvious that someone was smashing the wall!
It’s not bad, he has already come back, the old emperor has returned to the palace, and there are still some short-sighted people who dare to take advantage of the Fang Mansion. This is a death wish!
“What kind of dog dared to hit uncle’s wall!?”
Fang Xiu stared, walked to the wall, and was about to curse.
I heard a ‘bang -‘ sound.
Then there was the sound of the wall collapsing.
Fang Xiu was startled and hurriedly backed away, keeping enough distance.
“Bah, bah, bah!”
The smoke and dust from the collapsed wall gradually dispersed, but a pretty face that Fang Xiu didn’t expect was revealed on the opposite side.
“Zhao Yan?”
Fang Xiu looked at the disgraced Zhao Yan in front of him, a little surprised.
After being surprised, he was speechless and said angrily: “What kind of wall are you smashing in the middle of the night?”
“Ahem.”
Zhao Yan was just about to speak, but accidentally choked on the smoke again. After coughing for a while, she said intermittently: “Ahem, I’m happy to cough. Can you care?”
“”
Fang Xiu looked at it. He said angrily: “This is the wall of my house, do you think I can take care of it?”
After hearing this, Zhao Yan was slightly startled, then a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she murmured: “It seems to be true.”
When Fang Xiu heard this, he was almost too angry to beat her up.
He walked up to her, patted the dirt on her clothes, and asked: “If you confess, you will be lenient, but if you resist, you will be punished. Tell the truth. What did
you want to do by smashing the wall in the middle of the night?”
“I didn’t want to do anything, I just wanted to smash it. Come out through the door, so that it will be easier to come to your place in the future. Who would have thought that the wall in your house is so unexplainable that it will fall down as soon as you smash it!”
At first, she felt a little guilty when she spoke, but later it seemed that she was. As if he were being rational, he became confident.
There was only a wall between the house she bought and the Fang Mansion, but now even this wall was gone.
Doesn’t it mean that from now on, as long as he comes together, he may see Zhao Yan practicing swordsmanship in his yard?
This picture is so beautiful that Fang Xiu doesn’t want to see it.
“You”
Fang Xiu opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
Before she could speak, she heard Zhao Yan say: “It’s not because Fang Ru in your family, who is so young and doesn’t learn well all day long, keeps stalking her. She
has been following me these past few days and asked me to teach her how to practice swordsmanship. The house I live in is only a little bigger, and it’s not as spacious as yours. It’s too troublesome to come to your place every day.
I have no choice, so I thought.”
“Miss Zhao, just tell me if you want to move into our house. , no one will dislike you, but it’s meaningless if you frame her up like this.”
At some point, Fang Ru stood behind them, looking at Zhao Yan with an expression that showed she was not afraid of trouble.
