The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 794

[Chapter 794 Do you think I am a fool?]

After Fang Xiu finished giving instructions, he felt a little tired and was ready to rest.

At this time, there was a loud noise outside Fang Mansion.

Fang Xiu turned to look at the boy beside him and asked, “What’s going on?”

The boy said hurriedly, “I’ll go out and have a look.”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

After a moment, he returned to Fang Xiu, bowed and said, “To tell you what to say to the young master, there are many scholars outside. It looks like there are hundreds of them, and they are kneeling outside.”

Fang Xiu heard this .

After saying this, he frowned slightly, obviously knowing what was going on.

There was a look of thinking on his face. After a moment, he waved his hands and said: “If they want to kneel, let them kneel. It’s up to them. Don’t worry about it.” When

the boy heard this, he bowed respectfully and said: ” Yes, young master!”

Fang Xiu went to rest, but Zhuxuanzhai has been very busy these days.

At first, it was about the changes in the imperial examination. The Ministry of Rites, scholars and some old scholars blocked the door countless times.

That is to say, things are getting better now that Fang Mansion has more guards.

However, there are still some old scholars kneeling at the door every day. Those who don’t know it think that the people from Zhuxuanzhai have digged up their ancestral graves.

Of course, after this period of training, the people in Zhuxuanzhai have been able to turn a blind eye.

After finishing the affairs of the imperial examination, I have to write articles to criticize those scholars in a different way these days. There is no such thing as benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, and trust.

In short, it is basically no different from scolding.

But through the rhetoric of those literati, they can finally get on the stage.

For example, this time, the scholars agreed to compete, but in the end they cheated and knelt in front of the Xin’an Houfu.

This is a place worth making a fuss about.

For several days, Zhuxuanzhai’s front page headlines were filled with articles about this matter.

Many scholars felt ashamed when they saw it.

Especially after seeing the final result of that competition.

At the same time, there was another piece of news that shocked the world.

This should be the second piece of news that shocked the world after the imperial examination incident.

It was Baolefang who wanted to spend 500,000 taels of silver to establish free academies in all the capitals of Chu State.

Children who have no money to study have been allowed to read books for ten years.

Of course, if you study for ten years, you will need to pay more money later.

But even so, it still shocked countless people.

ten years!

What is the concept of ten years?

What is the concept of five hundred thousand taels of silver.

You have to know how much money can be made in Jiangnan Road, a prosperous land like that, in a year?

In just one year, Baolefang invested five hundred thousand taels of silver, which is really unbelievable.

When the poor people heard the news, they were naturally overjoyed.

This is their chance, their chance to become a master.

Han Chuang studied hard for more than ten years.

Not everyone can study hard in a cold window.

Apart from anything else, the cost of books for studying is not something that poor people can afford.

But things are different now. Not only is studying in this academy free, but even meals are free.

You can have two meals a day, both without paying any money.

At this

moment, many people knelt down immediately after learning the news.

They all know that this is for Xin’an.

In the eyes of many people, Xin’an Hou is simply a god-like existence.

Some people, even those who don’t value reading, still know the concept of two meals for ten years.

Xin’anhou is a living Bodhisattva!

Many people have made statues of Xin’anhou and put them at home, and they pay homage to them from time to time.

But people who have read books or have more flexible minds think about something else.

The Marquis of Xin’an did this undoubtedly for the sake of the imperial examination!

Of course, this is only the second level.

People who think deeper will think of it.

How dare the Marquis of Xin’an make such a big show?

Even if this matter is to be done, there is only one person who can do it, and there is no doubt that this person is the current emperor.

It can only be done in the name of the emperor.

Otherwise, being so blatant and ostentatious, wouldn’t it be a great achievement?

Aren’t you afraid of Xin’an Hou?

Especially the people of Kyoto Prefecture, especially the civil and military officials above the court.

They knew who Xin’anhou was.

This is a person with mental illness, but he never shows off his mental illness in front of His Majesty.

Isn’t such a person cautious when doing anything in front of His Majesty?

Why do you dare to be so arrogant now, without worrying about your superiority?

For a time, a storm was coming in Kyoto Prefecture.

For example,

at this moment, the palace, Nuan Pavilion.

Emperor Chu’s expression kept changing as he looked at the newspaper from Zhuxuanzhai.

The next second, after seeing the news about this free academy, he could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. He slammed the table and cursed: “Nichen! Fang thief!

This is too arrogant! This is completely unfair.” Take me seriously!”

What he said was correct.

This is from the emperor’s perspective.

But if you look at it from other people’s perspective, it might not be the case. It was clearly done by someone else, so why do you have to give the credit to you, Emperor Chu?

Some people would say that this is the way to be a minister, and this is how a minister should be.

But, is this reasonable?

Someone else wants to say that this has always been the case throughout the ages.

Fang Xiu now felt that this shouldn’t be the case, so he did it.

Emperor Chu didn’t understand, he was still thinking the same thing as before.

His expression was very cold. He looked at Liu Cheng beside him and said coldly: “Imperial Imperial College, have you sent anyone there?”

Liu Cheng looked a little trembling.

He knew that His Majesty was angry at this moment, but the questions he was about to answer would undoubtedly anger His Majesty.

So, he only dared to say cautiously: “To reply to Your Majesty, I sent someone to go there.”

“What was the result?”

Emperor Chu’s voice seemed a little cold.

It’s almost like they are two people from before.

What kind of loyal and loyal king can’t become a king if he is a truly loyal and loyal king?

It’s just that after becoming a king, he felt that he should be loyal, so he became a loyal king, that’s all.

There is no doubt that Liu Cheng understands this truth best.

Therefore, he seemed a little nervous at this moment, and said tremblingly: “The adults in the Imperial College swear by the saints that they have never committed any fraud.”

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Chu became angry again.

He slammed the table, stood up from the dragon chair, and cursed: “There is no fraud!?

There is no fraud, so many scholars can’t even compare to a teenager who has just studied for a few days?

Could it be that ?

Everyone in the Imperial College thinks I’m a fool!”
