The happy life of a prodigal

Fang Xiu punched him hard, the little eunuch staggered and fell to the ground, his mind was buzzing and he was stunned.

Crazy, just crazy...

This Fang family thief wants to resist the order!

The little eunuch got up from the ground, gritted his teeth, stared at Fang Xiu, and roared sharply: "Fang, you dare to beat the imperial envoy...you, what do you want to do? Rebellion!?"

Fang Xiu ignored him, but said coldly: "What am I going to do? I want to ask, what are you going to do!

How dare you insult His Majesty in front of me! "

This heavy punch came so suddenly, Bai Xiaochun and the few guards behind the eunuch were all stunned.

What's happening here?

Why did it suddenly involve insulting His Majesty?

Could it be that what Eunuch Zhang said just now was insulting His Majesty?

This is impossible!

How dare Eunuch Zhang do such a rebellious thing...

The little eunuch's forehead was bleeding profusely, and his complexion was distorted in pain, but before he could stop the bleeding, he roared: "When did we insult His Majesty? You, you talk nonsense, turn black and white, we...we... ..”

He trembled all over and was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Fang Xiu smiled slightly, and asked Bai Xiaochun, "Did you hear this person insulting His Majesty?"

Bai Xiaochun was stunned, and hurriedly said: "That's right, he insulted His Majesty just now, I heard it clearly, he said..."

"All right."

Fang Xiu interrupted him, looked at the imperial guards behind the young eunuch, and asked: "Dare to ask some adults, insulting His Majesty, what crime should we have?"

They didn't hear whether Eunuch Zhang insulted His Majesty, but they saw clearly that this person beat Eunuch Zhang.

But after all, this man is the son of Uncle Anping, and Uncle Anping is the hero of the country, admired by thousands of people, especially the members of their army.

If he insisted that Uncle Anping beat the imperial envoy, it would be a serious matter.

If An Pingbo was involved, they would really... have a hard conscience.

"This......"

Several imperial guards looked at each other in blank dismay, for a while, they didn't know what to do.

"You are simply framing!"

The little eunuch covered his head and roared sharply: "You, you... come here and tie him up for us, tie him up!"

Several imperial guards looked at each other, walked up to Fang Xiu, took the rope, and restrained him.

One of them, while tying him, whispered in his ear: "The humble job is also to follow orders, Mr. Fang, don't mind."

Fang Xiu knew that if this matter continued, he was afraid that it would not end, so he honestly let him be tied up.

Looking at this scene, the little eunuch was still a little puzzled.

He knew in his heart that if something like this happened during the edict delivery this time, of course he could go back to the palace to file a complaint.

But to His Majesty, Fang Xiu is certainly guilty.

As for myself... If I can't do this little thing well, I probably will lose my future in the future.

So I couldn't go back to the palace to file a complaint, so I had to kidnap people and vent my anger.

The imperial army took people, Bai Xiaochun and Fangfu guards did not dare to stop them, so they had to send people to repair the book and send it to Qingzhou on horseback, let the master decide.

On the other side, Fang Xiu has been tightly bound by the forbidden army.

The little eunuch said a few cruel words, felt relieved, and ordered people to escort him to the palace.

Hall of Mental Cultivation, Nuan Pavilion.

Emperor Chu was still pondering over that article, and he didn't even notice that someone came in.

The little eunuch delivering the decree knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Uncle Anping has arrived."

Emperor Chu looked up at him, saw that his head was wrapped in gauze, was slightly startled, and asked, "What's going on?"

The little eunuch lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "On the way back, I accidentally kowtowed my head and insulted His Majesty's eyes. I will die."

Knocking to the head...to be so bloody?

There was a trace of doubt on Chu Huang's face, but he didn't go into it, and said, "Let him in."

"The slaves obey the order."

The little eunuch got up and saluted, then retreated slowly.

A moment later, a handsome young man walked into the Nuan Pavilion and saluted without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I have seen you."

Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Chu looked Fang Xiu up and down.

The impression this person gave him was not too bad, and he even felt a little refined.

Emperor Chu put down the article, stood up, walked to Fang Xiu, walked back and forth for a few steps, then stopped and asked, "Are you Fang Xiu?"

The tone is lazy, and the face is worth pondering.

Fang Xiu felt nervous for no reason.

This is the emperor, the supreme ruler of Chu.

In this era, any one of his thoughts may determine the life and death of a person, or even a family.

Fang Xiu took a deep breath, raised his eyes, and looked at Emperor Chu: "The subject is Fang Xiu."

It was the first time to face the saint, so calm, this courage, like a genius who wrote such an article on peace.

Chu Huang was very satisfied with Fang Xiu in his heart, but on the face he put on a straight face, and said sharply: "Fang Xiu, you are guilty."

Fang Xiu has a deep understanding of being with a king like a tiger.

Facing the emperor's harsh questioning, he could only say: "I don't know."

The Emperor of Chu put his hands behind his back and said in a cold voice: "I heard that you sell spirits at a high price, and a glass sells for more than ten taels of silver. Could it be that you are relying on the Anping uncle's mansion to buy and sell by force and bully the market?"

Fang Xiu's heart was already in his throat, but when he heard this, he fell to the ground.

It turned out to be because of this...

I don't know which wicked person would spread rumors and slander Lao Tzu like this.

Fang Xiu bowed his head and said: "I sold wine, marked the price, never bullied others, let alone bought or sold by force, please learn from your Majesty."

Chapter 49 On Wine

The Emperor of Chu said with a cold face, "Yangjiangchun, the royal tribute of Yuezhou, is sold in the capital for only two taels of silver. How can you sell your new wine for ten taels of silver?"

This child is calm and stable, and has the talent of Wang Zuo. If he polishes it a little, he may not be a piece of rough jade.

But...if his character is really despicable, although he can be cultivated a little bit, he will not be regarded as a confidant who assists the future prince.

Emperor Chu's questioning this time was to dispel doubts in his heart.

If he can't justify himself, it means that the folklore is a fact, and this person... cannot be reused.

Fang Xiu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please listen to the minister's explanation. Although the minister's new wine is not as famous as Yang Jiangchun, it is mellow and fragrant, and it is endless aftertaste. Even if you drink a thousand cups, you only need one cup at most. , ten taels of silver is not expensive."

Due to the craftsmanship, the alcohol content here is generally not high, and the strength is not enough, so it is not a good wine.

It is the simple distilled 'one drunk before rest', which is strong enough, but lacks the mellow aroma that real fine wine should have, and it is also not up to the grade of fine wine.

But in comparison of the two, 'One Drunk and One Rest' can be called a fine wine.

"There is such a fine wine in this world? As the Son of Great Chu, why have I never heard of it?"

Chu Huang still had a cold face, clearly not believing it at all.

He is also a drinker. When he lived in the East Palace, he was often reprimanded by the late emperor for getting drunk.

After the succession ceremony, although he was not as addicted to alcohol as he was when he was young, he still had a few drinks from time to time.

On the annual tribute list, fine wines from all states are listed on it.

As the supreme ruler of Chu State, it is not a trivial matter to want to taste wine.

If any good wine is newly brewed in various places, it will definitely be sent to the palace as soon as possible, and it is absolutely impossible for him not to have heard of it.

Faced with Emperor Chu's doubts, Fang Xiu did not panic, and explained: "I have brewed this wine for only half a month, and your Majesty has never heard of it. After that, he immediately ordered his servants to deliver this wine to His Majesty."

Seeing Fang Xiu's expression was indifferent, as if he was very confident in the wine he brewed, Chu Huang already believed it seventy percent in his heart.

His tone slowed down, and he asked: "I heard that you are idle and ignorant, how do you know how to make wine?"

What son of a bitch is slandering me again!

Fang Xiu's face was dark, and he said: "I am not idle, ignorant, I am at home, I often review..."

"All right."

Before he finished explaining, the Emperor Chu waved his hand indifferently, interrupting him and said: "I know it all, tell me where you learned the method of brewing wine."

Fang Xiu took a deep breath and said slowly, "This method of brewing wine was realized by myself."

"Oh?"

A look of surprise flashed in Emperor Chu's eyes, and he asked with great interest, "You know how to drink at such a young age?"

Fang Xiu thought for a while and said, "I... understand a little bit."

When it comes to drinking, he may not be as flattering as Emperor Chu.

But in terms of understanding wine, let him live for a few hundred years, it can't compare.

Life in the orphanage is not easy. In order to make up for the tuition fees, he has done everything except selling his body.

During the summer vacation of the second year of high school, I worked as a baijiu salesman in a supermarket for a period of time. I am very familiar with the types of baijiu, brewing methods, and their respective characteristics.

Seeing Fang Xiu's self-confidence when he was talking about wine, Emperor Chu frowned and asked: "In this case, tell me how to distinguish the fine wines in the world."

Differentiating between fine wines?

Fang Xiu thought for a while and said slowly: "I think that good wine should be distinguished by its aroma.

The sauce aroma is prominent, elegant and delicate, with a long aftertaste, fragrant but not bright, low but not weak, this is the sauce aroma.

The cellar fragrance is rich, sweet and sweet, the fragrance is harmonious, and the tail is long, which is called Luzhou fragrance.

The fragrance is mellow, the flavors are harmonious, sweet and soft, the aftertaste is clean, sweet and refreshing, this is the fragrance.

The fragrance of honey is elegant.The entrance is soft, the mouth is refreshing, and the aftertaste is pleasant, this is rice fragrance”

It is somewhat new to say that wines are distinguished by aroma rather than region.

It's just... the aroma of sauce, aroma, fragrance, and rice, I have never heard of it.

The Emperor of Chu was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he wanted to ask him: Do you have evidence to distinguish fine wines by this.

But if he really asked this question, wouldn't it appear that he, as the Son of Heaven, has been in the Liquor Kingdom for decades, and his knowledge is not as good as that of a child.

So, he just nodded and said lightly, "That's right."

After finishing speaking, he fell into deep thought.

After half a stick of incense passed, Emperor Chu still had that indifferent expression.

Fang Xiu, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't bear it anymore, and called out: "Your Majesty..."

"Ok?"

After recovering from the trance, Emperor Chu looked at Fang Xiu, suddenly remembered something, sat back on the dragon chair, and said, "Come here, give me a seat."

Talking about wine almost missed the point.

Regardless of the character of this child, for the time being, that article is a real strategy to stabilize the country.

If this article can really solve the worries of Chu State, even if this article cannot be reused, it should be rewarded generously.

But...he thought about a few places in the article, but he still felt that something was wrong, so he summoned him into the palace to ask for clarification.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."
