The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 685

[Chapter 685 Minister of Assistance to the Country]

In other words, if the antidote is not found or the operation fails, Emperor Chu will only be able to live for another six or seven months at most.

Nearly one-third of these six or seven months will be spent on this sweet potato.

If the final result is not so satisfactory.

When Fang Xiu thought of this, he no longer dared to think about it anymore.

He was afraid that Emperor Chu would be disappointed.

Also afraid of disappointing myself.

What’s more, Emperor Chu’s health was not very good.

The road is very bumpy. What should we do if something unexpected happens?

Moreover, there is another more important question.

Or the most important question.

The Emperor of Chu has gone to Jiangnan, who should be in charge of the capital?

King Kang?

From the current point of view, he is indeed the most suitable.

But both Emperor Chu and Fang Xiu knew it in their hearts.

King Kang’s status is suitable, but his ability is not suitable yet.

Without suitable assistant ministers, King Kang would not be able to sit in the court at all.

Fang Xiu thought of this, raised his eyes to look at the Emperor of Chu, and advised: “Your Majesty, this private visit incognito is important, not to mention that the distance between Jiangnan and the capital is really far.

There are too many changes that may occur in the middle. Your Majesty, I would like you to think more about it.”

The three pavilion elders next to him also reacted at this moment.

According to common sense, they should, like Fang Xiu, persuade the Emperor of Chu to sit in the court.

However, at this moment, they did not make any statement.

He even showed a thoughtful expression, as if he was thinking about something.

Fang Xiu is not a fool.

When he saw the three pavilions always reacting like this, he immediately understood Emperor Chu’s intention.

He raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Chu, not knowing what to say for a moment.

I couldn’t say the words of persuasion I had planned.

Sure enough

, as Fang Xiu expected, Emperor Chu spoke.

“This sweet potato is a big deal, a top-notch big deal! There is nothing more important in the entire court than this! My private visit incognito this time is a must!

Fang Xiu, don’t try to persuade me anymore. It’s useless. I mean It’s decided!

During my absence in the capital, King Kang will be in charge, and the

three ministers of the auxiliary country will assist King Kang in handling matters. “

This is the decision!

Fang Xiu was slightly startled, and his expression changed somewhat.

He understood very well what Emperor Chu meant by these words.

This is not just because of the sweet potato, but more because he is preparing for his death!

Emperor Chu obviously knew what King Kang was like.

Therefore, this test was set.

If King Kang passes the test, the position of crown prince will definitely be his.

This should be the case both emotionally and rationally.

If it doesn’t pass,

that’s not necessarily the case.

Because, no matter what, Emperor Chu has another prince.

Although the prince is young and has not even been crowned king, he still has the qualifications of a crown prince.

Moreover, Concubine Shu’s family also has a certain weight in the court, so it is impossible for King Kang to succeed in his rebellion.

In addition, four auxiliary ministers were also appointed.

The three pavilion elders plus myself.

It is normal for the three cabinet elders to serve as ministers of the country.

But

Fang Xiu himself didn’t know what Emperor Chu’s intention was.

No matter from which aspect you look at it, you are definitely not the material to be a minister of the auxiliary country!

Apart from anything else, I just can’t pass the age barrier.

At such a young age, if Fang Xiu wins the Jinshi, he will already be recorded in history and be called a genius!

Not to mention the minister of the auxiliary country.

The four words “minister of the auxiliary state” carry great weight.

What matters is not just ability, but the most important thing is qualifications!

The three cabinet ministers’ original status was equivalent to that of ministers of the auxiliary state. Taking this position would not attract any criticism.

But in the final analysis, Fang Xiu no matter how much he contributed or how many strategies he proposed.

No matter how much he helped the court, he was still just a martial artist.

Just a Xin’anhou.

And above the Marquis of Xin’an, there are also Duke Dingguo and Duke Yingying.

No matter from which aspect, this fourth minister of the auxiliary country should not be Fang Xiu.

This is not because of fear of being scolded.

In fact, Fang Xiu is afraid of nothing but being scolded.

This is

a burden!

A heavy burden on your shoulders!

Although Fang Xiu wanted to do something for the court and the people of Chu, that was all.

He never has.

Not even for a moment have I thought about taking on such a heavy burden!

Therefore, as soon as Emperor Chu finished speaking, Fang Xiu stood up, walked to the middle of Nuan Pavilion, and looked at Emperor Chu with a serious expression.

He stood upright, bowed respectfully, and said: “Your Majesty, neither my ability nor qualifications are enough to hold the position of minister of the auxiliary country.

I hope your majesty will take back my order!”

The three ministers heard this.

These words are all a bit surprising.

ah!

This was the first time they had seen Marquis Xin’an like this.

The obvious benefits are not needed.

This is really strange.

Emperor Chu smiled after hearing this.

Obviously, he had already thought that Fang Xiu would do this.

He raised his eyes, looked at Fang Xiu, smiled, and said lightly: “Hahahahahaha!

I knew you would say that.

I still remember the last time, I wanted you to join the army, and you said the same thing. , I hope your Majesty

will take back your life. I answered you the same way now.

You can stay at home and do nothing, care about nothing, and I will

pay you the same salary .

, you also have to sit in the position of minister of the auxiliary state!”

“”

Fang Xiu was speechless when he heard this.

What does it mean?

Do you have to choose your own feelings?

He hesitated for a moment, but still couldn’t make a decision.

After a moment, he cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty,”

he was interrupted by Emperor Chu: “Okay, this matter is over here. I have made up my mind, no more discussion.”

“Your Majesty,”

Fang Xiu still wanted to say .

Want to say.

But Chu Huang suddenly stood up, looked at the three pavilion elders, and said solemnly: “Sweet potato, I must go and see it. This matter is very involved. If it is really like Marquis Xin’an and this…”

” “Little Qian Zheng.”

Qian Zheng said hurriedly when he saw Emperor Chu pointing at him.

Emperor Chu glanced at him, smiled, and continued: “As Qian Zheng said, one acre of fertile land can produce seven thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes, so many of the strategies formulated by the court today will change.

I’m afraid Chu’s status in this world will also suddenly change.

Therefore, I want to see you, and I will leave this court to you for the time being.

You are all veterans and have been with me for a long time. I can rest assured that you can do things.

King Kang.”

When Emperor Chu mentioned King Kang, he hesitated and sighed. After all, he didn’t say anything. He just said, “You guys do your best. Please step back. I’m going to rest.”
