The happy life of a prodigal

However, who can stand out from among the many princes and become the emperor, which one does not have his own means?

My father and emperor are benevolent, but after becoming a king, he treats his own people.

Before, my father told me... As a descendant of the royal family, the most important thing is to have a heart of benevolence and righteousness.

Of course he didn't forget this.

At the same time, he still remembered another sentence, that is, a king should not have the kindness of a woman!

Therefore, when his father mentioned the matter of captive dead men just now, he did not admit it, but instead acted like a victim.

But what the father said later was almost doubting his own intentions.

After all, in the history books, there are not a few cases of father and son fighting each other because of the competition for the throne.

That's why he will decisively admit people's mistakes and express his attitude.

I'm still just my father's child, and occasionally I make mistakes...

As it stands, he made the right decision.

King Kang stood up from the ground, stood upright, saluted respectfully, and walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Outside the hall, King Ning had already been waiting for a long time.

Seeing King Kang walking out, King Ning showed concern on his face, walked up to him, and said, "I heard that Brother Kang Wang was framed by a villain recently and criticized by many people who don't know the truth.

Originally, the king wanted to have a drink with Brother Kang Wang, to help him solve his problems, but he did not expect that when he arrived at the gate of Brother Kang Wang's mansion, he learned that his father had announced that he had seen Brother Kang Wang. It was really a coincidence... ..”

Speaking of this, he shook his head pretending to sigh, and asked again: "By the way, I don't know why the father announced to see Brother Kang?"

Kang Wang looked at Ning Wang coldly, and suddenly said, "Do you know what you look like now?"

When King Ning heard this, he was slightly taken aback, as if he didn't realize what he meant.

However, King Kang took two steps forward, leaned over to King Ning's ear, and whispered, "It's just like a Zhongshan wolf who is rampant when he succeeds..."

This sentence is tantamount to calling King Ning a dog.

King Ning heard this, but he didn't show any anger, instead he smiled.

Then, he took a step back suddenly, his face became cold, and he said: "This king knows that brother Kang Wang has been wronged, but this has nothing to do with father and this king. There is no need to speak so harshly, right?"

Chapter 348 Preparations for Qiu Wei

As soon as these words came out, several young eunuchs around subconsciously cast their gazes.

When King Kang heard this, his face turned blue and white, but he didn't bother with him anymore, he just whispered: "Don't be too happy!"

Then, with a cold snort, he turned and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

King Ning watched Kang Wang leave with a smile on his face, and then walked into the Nuan Pavilion.

"My son sees my father!"

King Ning bowed respectfully, raised his eyes, and looked at his father.

But......

The next second, he was stunned.

Because, he clearly saw that his father was holding a whip in his hand, which is only used by the prison guards when they interrogate prisoners!

This whip was no stranger to him when he was young, every time he did something wrong and made his father angry, and when his father was in a bad mood, he would be whipped a few times.

This whip has become a shadow of his childhood. Every time he was punished, he would lie on the bed for several days, unable to move, and if he moved a little, his whole body would be in severe pain.

Fortunately, after they grew up, even if they occasionally did something that made Father angry, Father never used this whip again...

"Father..."

King Ning looked at the whip with a look of horror on his face, and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But before he could speak, he heard a shout: "Shut up!"

King Ning didn't dare to speak out when he heard the scolding.

Emperor Chu had already walked in front of him, and said angrily: "You think I don't know what you did?

If your mother and concubine hadn't begged me to keep you in the capital and save your life, how could I have allowed you to stay in the capital! ?

It's good for you, if you don't know how to repent, it's fine, but you still go around causing trouble and humiliating the face of the royal family.

If I don't teach you a good lesson today, I am not the emperor of Dachu! "

After finishing speaking, without giving King Ning any chance to defend himself, raising his hand was a sharp whip.

"what--!"

The whip was whipped on his body, and his skin was ripped apart instantly, dripping with blood.

King Ning had never suffered such pain before, and couldn't help crying...

For a moment, the entire Hall of Mental Cultivation was filled with King Ning's miserable wails.

............

The story of King Kang spread extremely fast in the capital, and it also disappeared extremely fast.

Under the joint efforts of King Kang's Mansion and Kyoto Mansion to 'dispel rumors'.

In less than two days, few people in the restaurant heard about Kang Wang raising dead men in captivity.

The civil and military officials in the court were even more silent about this matter.

It's just that among the squares and cities, when the people in the market get together to chat, they will laugh and talk a few words.

Of course, the instigator of all this, the Baijuan Building, was closed down by the Kyoto government government office for violating the laws of the Great Chu in just one day.

The treasurer of Baijuanlou also thought that he had slandered His Royal Highness Kang Wang and went to jail.

It is said that he will be imprisoned for ten years in the dungeon of the Kyoto government office.

This is considered a severe punishment for ordinary people.

But those who are familiar with the inside story know that this is the result of His Majesty's kindness.

If the laws of the Great Chu were strictly followed and the prince was criticized, even though he would not be executed all over the house, the shopkeeper of Baijuanlou might not be able to leave a low life.

Therefore, being able to save one's life was already an unexpected happy event for the shopkeeper of Baijuanlou.

Different from the hustle and bustle in the capital, these days, Fang Mansion is as calm as usual.

The young master has returned from outside the capital.

The eunuch who delivered the decree also came to the palace.

I heard... because of the great achievements made by the young master, the emperor wants to confer the title of the young master as an earl!

If the former general had already made the servants of Fangfu extremely admired, then the current earl shocked and delighted them extremely.

After all, the master is only an earl.

Moreover, the master's earl was passed down by the grand master, and the young master's earl was won by relying on his own strength.

Although they don't understand the difference, they also know that the gold content between the two earls is not the same, and it is obvious that the young master is more powerful!

At the same time, they knew in their hearts that their young master had also become an earl, so from now on, Fang Mansion would have two earls.

Compared with before, the status has naturally improved a lot.

These servants can also follow suit.

In the past two days, many little maids have teased Xiu'er. From now on, she will be the Earl's personal maid.

Xiu'er always lowered her head shyly, and scolded with a smile, but she didn't care about it in her heart.

actually......

In her heart, whether the young master is a general or an earl, it doesn't matter much.

She has been by the young master's side since she was a child, and she is already used to this kind of life.

No matter what, in the days to come, she will do things with all her heart and soul as before.

In the backyard, Xiu'er was basking in the sun, looking at the young master who was concentrating on reading.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered what was described in the newly purchased script two days ago, and his pretty face blushed unknowingly.

"what happened?"

Fang Xiu was a little tired from reciting, so he raised his eyes, wanting to ask Xiu'er to pour some water for him, and then saw her blushing as if she had applied blush, and asked with a concerned voice.

"what?"

Xiu'er was slightly taken aback, then as if she had come to her senses, she hurriedly got up and said, "Your servant is fine..."

When Fang Xiu heard this, he didn't say much.

Xiu'er didn't know what was wrong these two days, she always blushed like this for no reason.

It may be that autumn is here, and the weather is a bit cold, with wind chill.

I just gave her medicine for wind and cold, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

He shook his head, didn't think about these things, and ordered: "Xiu'er, pour me some water."

"Um......"

Xiu'er nodded slightly, got up and walked into the room.

Fang Xiu read his book again.

Although the imperial examinations in Chu State are not like the stereotyped essays of the previous life, there are not a few examinations for the Four Books and Five Classics.

Of course, unlike the examination form of the eight-part essay, the content of the scriptures in Chu State is more about understanding.

Like the last time Qiu Wei, the content of the last question only needs to explain my understanding of 'benevolence'. Compared with the various strange-shaped questions in the previous life, there is no way to be simpler.

Even so, you still need to take a look at the most basic content, otherwise you may not know what to write when you go to the examination room.

After Fang Xiu was admitted to graduate school, he never seriously prepared for an exam like this again.

If it wasn't for Emperor Chu's order, I would have only handed in a blank paper [-]%.

But I still have to be in the first place...

Sometimes, Fang Xiu felt that Chu Huang didn't intend to cultivate him, but deliberately made things difficult for him.

After all, it was the first time for Wu Xun to participate in the imperial examination in the whole Chu State for so many years.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiu felt even more depressed. He felt that the book in front of him was also boring, so he pushed it aside and began to close his eyes to rest his mind.

At this time, a voice came from the direction of the courtyard door.

"Master..."

Chapter 349 Sending to Jiangnan

Fang Xiu raised his eyes and saw Qian was standing at the door, looking at him with some embarrassment.

It has been three days since Qian Zheng came to report the last time, and the previous research should have a result.

Fang Xiu looked at Qian Zheng and asked, "Is it about sweet potatoes?"

Qian Zheng walked in front of Fang Xiu, stood upright, nodded and said: "Returning to the young master, the little one came here this time for the sake of sweet potatoes.

In the past three days, the young one has strictly controlled the other conditions according to the young master's instructions. Even though the various conditions have hardly changed, the growth status of the sweet potatoes is still not very good.

So I think that it is indeed the temperature that affects the growth of sweet potatoes.

In the past two days, the weather has become colder. If this continues, the sweet potato may not be able to survive this autumn. "

Fang Xiu nodded after listening.

From this point of view, the land of Gyeonggi is indeed not suitable for the cultivation of sweet potatoes, at least before the invention of greenhouses, it is not suitable for planting sweet potatoes in winter.

But whether this sweet potato can be planted or not involves thousands of people in the world, and it is absolutely impossible to give up so easily.

Furthermore, the territory of Chu State is not weaker than that of later generations. Since the temperature here is not suitable, just change to another place.

I heard that the two provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are not like Gyeonggi in winter. Although it is not as warm as spring, the climate is also suitable.

Thinking of this, he raised his eyes, looked at Qian Zheng in front of him, and ordered: "Since the climate in the capital is not suitable for the growth of sweet potatoes, you should make some preparations these days.
