The happy life of a prodigal

Chapter 222 What else is there to say?

After a while, Fang Xiu looked at Emperor Chu, saluted him respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, this is what I want to say..."

Chu Huang looked at Fang Xiu, smiled, nodded and said, "Go down."

Everyone was even more surprised when they saw this scene.

His Majesty actually smiled, it was the first time seeing His Majesty smile after stepping into the warm pavilion.

This shows what?

It shows that His Majesty is very satisfied with Fang Xiu's answer.

Seeing this scene, Yang Zheng felt even colder.

Although he had guessed His Majesty's attitude before, seeing His Majesty's expression, it was almost certain that His Majesty had no intention of marrying the prairie people.

Even so, he is unwilling to give up the ideas he insists on, let alone change his ideas.

Marriage must bring peace, and it has always been so, without exception.

Even if it is only a short peace, it is far better than a war in which people lose their lives.

He is the official book of the Ministry of Rites, responsible for the education of the people of the world, and at the same time responsible for the people of the world.

He didn't want to see the people living on the frontier of Great Chu in ruins.

Even at the cost of the princess's happiness for the rest of her life.

In other words, what is a little princess compared to the peace of the common people in the world?

What's more, the princess is married to the prince of the prairie, and she didn't go to the prairie to suffer, so what is unacceptable?

Thinking of this, his heart became more determined to persuade His Majesty.

In this warm pavilion, there are all generals who are pro-military, and there are more radical Ministers of the Ministry of War and Ministers of the Ministry of Households.

None of them are ministers who are inclined to peace. I believe that at the court meeting, someone will stand up to support him and discuss the interests of going to war with the prairie people with reason and evidence.

but......

Faced with the current situation, it is better to keep silent. If His Majesty is really offended, I am afraid that I will be deprived of even the possibility of participating in the next court meeting.

On the dragon chair, Emperor Chu glanced at Yang Zheng, saw that he was silent, and asked, "Yang Qing's family, is there anything else you want to say?"

Yang Zheng stood up, bowed respectfully to the Emperor of Chu, and replied: "I have finished what I want to say, and there is nothing more to say, but the matter of marriage is a big one.

The minister still hopes that His Majesty can discuss this matter with the ministers at the court meeting tomorrow. "

Emperor Chu nodded, not saying anything, looking at the other people in the Nuan Pavilion, and asked: "My dear family, is there anything else you want to say?"

Several generals looked at each other and said in unison: "What General Fang Zhonglang said is what the ministers want to say."

Emperor Chu nodded, glanced around at the three cabinet scholars, the ministers of the Ministry of War, and the ministers of the household department, and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Seeing the Emperor Chu's question, the five court officials all stood up, respectfully bowed to the Emperor Chu, and said, "I will obey His Majesty's order!"

Seeing them like this, Emperor Chu had nothing to say. He waved his hands and said, "In that case, you all should step back."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

In the Nuan Pavilion, except for the Emperor Chu and the eunuch Liu Cheng, everyone stood up, faced the direction of the Emperor Chu, saluted respectfully, and shouted: "I will leave!"

Afterwards, Yan Zhuang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, stood up first, walked in the front, and was the first to walk out of the Nuan Pavilion. Behind him were two academicians, Minister of Rites, Minister of Household, and Minister of War.

After several important ministers left, it was the turn of several generals.

However, none of the generals moved, instead they looked at Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu was still thinking about whether to eat northern hot pot or southern hot pot, with oil dish or sesame sauce, but suddenly noticed that the atmosphere was a bit strange, and looked up, only to find that several generals were all looking at him.

After being absent-minded for a moment, he finally came to his senses.

Are these people trying to get ahead of them?

Fang Xiu was a little surprised and didn't understand why they did this.

However, His Majesty is here, so it is not easy for him to ask too many questions, and it is even more difficult for him to be humble, otherwise the few people standing in a stalemate in the warm pavilion for a long time, it would be unseemly.

I had no choice but to send a sorry wink to the generals, and followed Ma Wenhua, Minister of the Ministry of War, out.

When several generals saw Fang Xiu walk out of the Nuan Pavilion, they followed him out.

The state of Chu is a state of etiquette, and everything is respectful, especially in the palace.

According to common sense, there is an established order for entering and exiting the Nuan Pavilion.

The one who walked in the front was undoubtedly the one who stood at the front during the court meeting. There was no name of Zaifu, but the fact that he was the first minister of the cabinet, followed by the rest of the cabinet scholars, followed by the six departments. The first is the Minister of Rites.

The rest are the remaining five Shangshu. Generally speaking, according to the year of the Jinshi department, those who passed the Jinshi department one year earlier will go first.

There is no doubt that several generals are ranked ahead of Fang Xiu in terms of seniority and status.

Among them is Fang Xiu's immediate superior, General Habayashi Wei.

These people let him walk ahead of them, what does this mean?

It shows that they are very convinced of what Fang Xiu said in front of His Majesty just now, and they are willing to bow down, admit that they are not as good as Fang Xiu in this matter, respect him, and are willing to let him walk in front of them.

Fang Xiu didn't think so much.

Before, he only thought about one thing, and that was to stop this marriage.

Although Zhao Yan's little girl is sometimes annoying, she has many shortcomings, such as the eldest lady's temper, such as being unreasonable...

But after getting along with him for so long, they are more harmonious with each other.

For such a long time, there is no emotion at all, and that is not realistic.

Therefore, he didn't want to just watch Zhao Yan being sent to the grassland as a victim between the grassland people and the state of Chu.

Although the object of the marriage is the prince of the grassland.

However, the people of Chu State attach great importance to nostalgia, pay attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots, and stay away from their hometown, which makes people feel extremely uncomfortable after all.

In addition, the customs of grassland people are completely different from those of Chu State. Zhao Yan does not know how long it will take to adapt.

And, the prince of the steppe...

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhao Yan still has 10,000+ taels of silver with her.

If she married into the grassland and asked herself to get back the 10,000+ taels of silver, what should she do?

After the debate with the Minister of Rites just now, Fang Xiu believed that neither the Emperor Chu nor the three cabinet scholars could possibly support the marriage.

What's more, it was obvious that from the very beginning, Emperor Chu never thought of marrying the grassland people.

So, now that he walked out of the Snapper, there was only one thing on his mind... and that was hot pot.

It was still early, Fang Xiu glanced at the blue sky, and stepped out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Having come here so many times, he is already very familiar with the road from the Hall of Mental Cultivation to the outside of the palace, and he no longer needs the eunuch's guidance.

Just when Fang Xiu was about to leave the Hall of Mental Cultivation, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Boy, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Chapter 223 Solicitation

The voice was so strong that Fang Xiu was taken aback. He subconsciously turned around and saw Ma Wenhua, Minister of the Ministry of War, standing behind him with a smile on his face.

"Boy..."

Ma Wenhua reached out and patted Fang Xiu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, you are much better now than when you were a child, tell Shi Bo, how did you figure out the serious relationship of the marriage in front of His Majesty just now?"

The expression on Fang Xiu's face did not change, but he began to complain crazily in his heart.

This shameless old man calls himself Shibo wherever he comes up.

Although he had some friendship with his cheap father when he was young, but he didn't have much contact with him for so many years, where did he get this kind of relative.

"Master Shangshu laughed, the junior just casually said some of his own opinions, and there is nothing worth saying."

Fang Xiu looked at Ma Wenhua, smiled, and said.

Hearing this, Ma Wenhua's face suddenly became a little unhappy, he stretched out his hand, patted Fang Xiu's shoulder heavily, and said loudly: "What is the Lord Shangshu, his name is Shibo.

When you usually bully men and women on the side of the road, why didn't you see such politeness? If I didn't know what you look like, I was really deceived by you! "

When Fang Xiu heard this, his face darkened immediately.

What does it mean to bully men and women on the side of the road? I am a good boy who is bathed in the spring breeze. How come this guy turned into a hooligan, a rascal?

"Uncle Shi, you have to be responsible for what you say. There is no reason to insult people's innocence. When the time comes, no woman in the capital will marry me. You must be responsible."

Fang Xiu said angrily.

Hearing this, Ma Wenhua grinned and said, "You are still innocent. Last time I was walking on the road south of the capital city, a child next to me shouted, Mr. Fang is here, and the whole street, men, women and children, are alone All of them hid.

If your kid still has innocence, if he still has a reputation, then a sow can climb a tree! "

Fang Xiu was speechless when he heard this.

What the hell is this old guy trying to do?

Somehow, did you come here to challenge yourself?

Fang Xiu raised his eyes, looked at Ma Wenhua, twitched his lips, and asked, "Let's talk directly about what Shibo has to do. The junior still has important things to go back home to deal with."

Surprised expression appeared on Ma Wenhua's face, and he asked, "What's important, let me tell the old man."

If it was in the past, Fang Xiu told him what important things he had.

He definitely wouldn't take it seriously, he thought it was just a few things, wandering around the land of smoke and willows, taking to the streets to bully girls from good families.

Or, just invite two good friends to have a drink in Chunfeng Building.

What kind of serious business can this ignorant and unprofessional kid have?

But after this series of events, especially today's questioning in front of the hall.

For Fang Xiu, he has changed a lot.

How could it be possible for an ignorant dude to win the first place in the pro-military parade for the first time, and how could he bring a not-so-top guard to No. 1 in the competition.

How could it be possible to be so witty at the Honglu Temple Banquet, which severely dampened the spirit of the prairie people...

The most important thing is, can the dude analyze the pros and cons of marriage in such a short period of time, with every detail and logic, without any flaws at all?

If such a person is considered a playboy, he only hopes that there will be more playboys in the capital.

Fang Xiu looked at Ma Wenhua, and found that his expression did not seem to be fake, as if he really cared about himself. After thinking about it, he couldn't bear to deceive him, so he replied truthfully: "Eat."

"what?"

Hearing this, Ma Wenhua was slightly taken aback, as if he had heard it wrong.

But in the next second, seeing Fang Xiu's expression didn't seem to be joking, his face suddenly darkened.

So the important thing that you kid said was to go back to eat?

Seeing Ma Wenhua looking like he was about to hit someone, Fang Xiu subconsciously took a step back, and hastily defended himself: "As the saying goes, people are iron and steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.

Eating is a necessary thing for a person, even a wise and powerful person like Shibo, there is no way not to eat, right?

So the younger generation thinks that eating is of course important. "

Hearing this, Ma Wenhua felt much relieved.

Although he knew that this guy was making excuses, he didn't say much.

As for the saying he never heard...

This guy can always come up with some novel gadgets that others can't think of, or some novel vocabulary that others have never heard of, so it is not surprising.

"Stop kidding."

Ma Wenhua stretched out his hand, patted Fang Xiu's shoulder, and asked, "Boy, are you interested in doing an errand in Shibo's military department?"

Fang Xiu was slightly taken aback, with a look of surprise on his face, and subconsciously murmured: "Military Department?"

He thought about countless possibilities, but he didn't think of this one.

This guy said so much, so he wanted to pull himself to stand with him.

Fang Xiu is the Zuo Zhonglang general of Youba Linwei. Although he is under the management of the Ministry of War in name, he actually has no relationship with the Ministry of War.

To a large extent, the Minister of the Ministry of War also has no power to order generals who are pro-military.
