The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 690

[Chapter 690: How does His Highness Prince Kang view this matter?]

He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, forced out a smile, and said, “Of course I know this.”

Fang Xiu smiled when he heard this and said, “It’s good that His Highness Prince Kang knows.”

“

” That’s right.

But King Kang always felt a little awkward after hearing this, and became even more depressed.

At this time, Xiu’er came over with a tea cup.

First, he poured tea for Fang Xiu, and then for King Kang.

Fortunately, I experienced those things before.

King Kang had no feeling for these details.

If the people in this Fang Mansion respected him, he would feel strange.

People are just so weird.

If you scold him, he will be angry.

But you beat him, beat him for a long time, and then scold him.

He will also feel happy.

Maybe King Kang is like this now.

“Your Highness Prince Kang, have a taste of this fine Longjing.”

Fang Xiu picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then extended his hand as an invitation.

King Kang nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

It is indeed a good Longjing.

Then there was some small talk.

Fang Xiu had to admit it.

In some respects, King Kang is indeed not so useless.

For example, even during the chat

, Fang Xiu didn’t even know where King Kang came from with so many words.

It just happened to be all idle chatter, with no real focus.

Of course.

As a prince, you have to come into contact with all kinds of people when you are young.

If he couldn’t speak, he wouldn’t be the King Kang he is today.

Chatted for a few more words.

Fang Xiu suddenly thought of something. He looked at King Kang with a smile on his face and asked, “Has His Highness Prince Kang heard about the women’s imperial examination?”

King Kang was slightly startled when he heard the words ‘women’s imperial examination’.

Then, he shook his head and pretended to be confused and said: “What is this women’s imperial examination? I have never heard of it.”

The matter of the women’s imperial examination has already made a fuss.

Not to mention the capital, the people in the entire capital, as well as in the Central Plains Road and the four northern states, had heard about this incident.

How could the majestic Prince Kang not know?

Who would believe this?

Of course, this is also the art of speaking.

King Kang said this almost clearly.

I don’t want to talk about this topic.

If ordinary people heard King Kang say this, they would just smile and then not mention it.

However, it is obvious that Fang Xiu is not an ordinary person.

Instead of not mentioning the matter, he showed a smile on his face and looked at King Kang to explain to him.

“Since His Highness Prince Kang has not heard of it, I will explain it to you, His Highness Prince Kang.

This women’s imperial examination, as the name suggests, is an imperial examination set up for women. Those selected are both Jinshi and Juren, regardless of status or treatment. It’s no different from an ordinary imperial examination.”

As soon as he opened his mouth, King Kang frowned and waved his hand, “Marquis Xin’an, let’s talk about something else.”

I don’t know if King Kang understood it or figured it out.

All in all, when he talks to Fang Xiu now, he is not willing to bend at all and is very straightforward.

When Fang Xiu heard this, the corner of his mouth curled up, but he ignored it at all. Instead, he continued: “Why do you want to talk about other things?

Your Highness, Prince Kang, your Majesty has left the capital now, and you are in charge of this court!

This woman’s imperial examination It’s a big matter, shouldn’t you take a closer look at it?

Your Majesty has left the matter of women’s imperial examinations to your Majesty.

I naturally want to listen to opinions from all sides. I

originally wanted to tell you something .

, but now that your Majesty has gone to Jiangnan, I can only tell you these words. But

you are not willing to listen. In this case, what is the point of doing these things?

In

fact, I have nothing to talk about.

I want to ask you a question.

What is your attitude toward this woman’s imperial examination?”

King Kang was silent when he heard this.

He obviously knew about the women’s imperial examination.

Not only do I know it, but I understand it very well.

He even spent a long time talking about this matter with his adviser Gong Lao.

Analyzed the pros and cons.

Mr. Gong supported this woman’s imperial examination.

But he did not support King Kang’s support for the women’s imperial examination.

This is a bit harsh to say.

In fact, it can be summed up in one sentence.

This women’s imperial examination can be promoted.

But it cannot be implemented by His Royal Highness King Kang, but a scapegoat must be found.

Obviously, Fang Xiu is the scapegoat.

As for why?

It couldn’t be simpler.

King Kang needed the support of the scholar-bureaucrats.

Since we want the support of the scholar-bureaucrats, we cannot move on the imperial examination!

Regardless of whether it is a women’s imperial examination or a men’s imperial examination, in short, there cannot be any changes in the imperial examination.

If there are changes, many gentry here in King Kang may not take it seriously.

Therefore, no matter when, as long as you leave the palace.

King Kang kept silent about the issue of women’s imperial examination.

No matter who asks, just respond with one sentence.

have no idea.

Don’t understand.

No comment.

But

Fang Xiu now insisted on his answer.

King Kang hesitated for a moment and glanced around subconsciously.

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he couldn’t help but smile.

He said calmly: “Your Highness Prince Kang, please rest assured. There is no one else in this courtyard except me.

And I don’t want His Highness Prince Kang to make a long speech. I just want His Highness Prince Kang’s attitude. What does

His Highness Prince Kang think of this woman’s imperial examination?” Are you supporting or opposing?”

King Kang was still hesitant.

There is no doubt that he does not trust Fang Xiu. Seeing this

, Fang Xiu shook his head and said, “If His Royal Highness King Kang doesn’t want to say it, then that’s it.”

At this point, he paused, sighed and said, “It’s a pity that Your Majesty appointed me as the minister of the auxiliary country. But I don’t even know His Majesty’s attitude towards the most important matter in the court.

If His Majesty comes back, how will I explain it to His Majesty? At that time, I will have no choice but

to

tell the truth.

But he just kept silent, as if he didn’t want to talk to him.”

When King Kang heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.

But Fang Xiu did not stop and continued: “At that time, I would like to ask your Majesty. What

does a person value in life, his actual achievements, his own feathers, or his own reputation?

What should I do as a minister? “

“”

When King Kang heard this, he could no longer calm down.

It’s simply heartbreaking!

I have to admit, this guy can hit his vitals with just one blow.

If the father really heard this question, what would he think of him?

What is the purpose of setting up four auxiliary ministers?

Not just to test him.

In the end, one of the auxiliary ministers asked about ‘merit or reputation’.

What should the father think?

King Kang took a deep breath, raised his eyes, looked at Fang Xiu, gritted his teeth and said, “My attitude toward this woman’s imperial examination is very simple.

I neither support nor oppose it.”
