The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 655
[Chapter 655: There is no way to be indifferent to fame and fortune]
is a big deal. You must know that if you don’t have the merit of following the dragon, the most you can do is become a Marquis!
It is reasonable for Anpingbo to be granted the title of marquis. In any case, Anpingbo has made great achievements twice. First, he put down the rebellion of the southwestern chieftains, and then he put down the rebellion of the Duke of Guizhou.
Adding the two military exploits together, it would be unreasonable not to be granted a title of marquis.
But Xin Amber, let’s not talk about the qualifications and age of the new Amber, nor the fact that Fang Mansion has just made a marquis. In terms of military exploits alone, what military exploits does the new Amber have?
They do not deny that Xin Amber’s achievements are insignificant, but these achievements are all in the court, and they are not war achievements!
And to be granted a title of marquis requires actual military exploits!
When several people heard this, they all looked hesitant, not knowing whether to persuade or not.
Emperor Chu glanced at them and said: “What are you thinking? I know very well. I made him a marquis not because I think highly of him, but because of his contribution. If Fang Xiu hadn’t proposed the plan of unifying the land and the Ding, With the power of thunder,
will the imperial court pay so many more taxes?
Let
me ask you, what will happen if the grassland tribes invade?
What Xiu did was not to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but it was a real military achievement! What’s more, he was the one who advocated the attack on the grassland tribes! That’s why I made this decision. “For
this reason, even if it’s true?
If you don’t understand, don’t understand, or are unwilling, what can you do?
We can’t let the emperor take back his life, right?
What’s more, they actually agreed with Emperor Chu’s views.
Isn’t it just a marquis? It’s a title.
If the emperor doesn’t care about the first grade and second grade, what should he and others care about?
For now, the only problem is that this Fang Mansion is likely to rise soon. It is the first time that one sect and two candidates have happened.
Moreover, one is a real martial artist and is the most capable of leading troops among the nine important town generals. The other is a talented Wang Zuo. Although he is a martial artist, his understanding of court matters is far beyond that. others.
The most important two people are father and son, father and son!
As a result,
several pavilion elders sighed leisurely in their hearts, but they did not dare to say more, after all, His Majesty did not care.
They really don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing and can only sigh, that’s all.
It was still three days later that Fang Xiu, who was far away in the Central Plains Road, heard the news that he had become the Marquis of Xin’an inexplicably.
“What, the Marquis of Xin’an?”
Fang Xiu looked at the eunuch who delivered the order, 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 of a county Marquis. Yes, isn’t this a first-rate dwarf?”
“Ahem!”
The eunuch who delivered the order almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard this.
This Xin’an Bo, no, now he is Xin’an Hou, what is going on in his mind.
Is this your first reaction?
However, he still explained: “Returning to the Marquis, Xin’an County is now Xin’an Prefecture.”
Fang Xiu was slightly startled, and he was surprised, there is still such an operation?
But it doesn’t matter, anyway, they are all Marquises, and they are still in Xin’an when they are still in Xin’an, so I remember they are familiar with each other.
“Is there anything else your Majesty wants to entrust me with?”
Fang Xiu asked, looking at the eunuch.
It was the first time that the eunuch saw such a frivolous Marquis, but he knew in his heart that although this man was a Marquis, he was in the limelight, even far surpassing several princes.
So, he bowed respectfully and replied: “Reporting to the Marquis, Your Majesty said that you have done a good job in the Central Plains. It doesn’t matter if the gentry beats you a dozen, as long as you can promote the unity of the land and the land.” Whatever you do, your Majesty will support it.”
These were the old emperor’s original words.
Originally, Emperor Chu thought that the king’s way was a way of balancing, and everything was about balance. In other words, what is moderation?
But when he saw the money sent by Fang Xiu, he suddenly understood that after so many years of balancing, weighing , in the end, all the weighed interests went to the gentry. If this is the case, what else is there to weigh?
It is necessary to use the right medicine and strong medicine to correct the problem one at a time. There is nothing to compromise. Once you compromise, you will be back to the original point.
His time is running out, and all he needs to do is take advantage of this time to leave more good things to his descendants and eliminate more ills.
“Yes.” Fang Xiu nodded, looking thoughtful, and asked, “Has your Majesty ever said when he would let me go back?”
The eunuch was startled again.
Isn’t this Central Plains Road good? To put it harshly and to say it is treacherous, this Xin’an Hou is like a native emperor in the Central Plains Dao!
In this case, why are you still thinking about going 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 Zhongyuan Tao is good. No one will care about what he does. Wherever he goes, there are stars and the moon.
But it was just like this that made him irritable. He needed to make the decision on everything, and everyone wanted to find him. When walking on the road, from time to time, several people would kneel on the ground and cry out to him.
Although he is a dandy, he is not a scumbag. When encountering someone like this, it is naturally impossible to ignore him.
But if you don’t ask, new problems arise. Does the person who calls for injustice have to be innocent? But it’s not necessarily
the case. It’s just pulling out the carrots and bringing them to the mud. There’s a bunch of endless things to do. It’s
no exaggeration to say that he has had some insomnia recently.
He always thought about returning to the capital as soon as possible, so that he wouldn’t have to worry about 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 Zhongyuan Road, but there is no news about going back. It’s really
sad.
Fang Xiu couldn’t help but sigh when he thought of this.
When the eunuch saw this, he was even more puzzled, but he still bowed respectfully: “Reporting to the Marquis, Your Majesty did not tell you the specific date.
However, His Majesty often talks about you and often mentions that he misses you. My slave, a few days ago , I also heard that His Majesty and Mr. Yan Ge said that the Central Plains Road is almost here, and I will transfer you back to the capital from time to time. I think it will be in these few days.” When
Fang
Xiu heard this, he became a prince. Still happy with the news, he waved his hand and said, “I already know this. Go down and rest!”
“Yes, Lord Marquis!”
The young eunuch left.
Li Jing came up to him again, looking like he was about to cry, so Fang couldn’t even think about hitting him.
“Hou, Mr. Hou, if you leave, what will happen to your humble position?”
“”
Fang Xiu couldn’t bear it anymore. He went up and gave him a kick, and cursed: “Didn’t you live a good life while I was away?” Yes, hurry up and pack things for me, I am going back to Beijing!”
