The happy life of a prodigal

However, there was already a certain guess in her heart, which made her excited.

Finally, they returned to the familiar yard.

dong dong dong-

He knocked on the door lightly twice.

Soon, the courtyard door was opened.

"Young Master Fang, you are back..."

It was Pearl who spoke.

Because of saving the emperor, Zhu'er, Lin Wanqing, and Fang Ru didn't close their eyes all night. One was because they were afraid of any accidents and let the Secret Service find out here, so they were ready to run away at any time.

The second point, and the most important point, was that they were really worried about Fang Xiu and couldn't sleep.

After confirming that it was Fang Xiu and Zhao Yan, Zhu'er opened the door and let them in.

Fang Xiu and Zhao Yan entered the courtyard and looked into the courtyard. Immediately afterwards, they saw a figure wearing a dragon robe. At first glance, although it was not tall, it had a different bearing.

Needless to say, it was naturally the Emperor Chu who had been imprisoned by King Ning for many days!

"Father!"

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yan was excited at first, then her eyes turned red instantly, she threw herself into Emperor Chu's arms, sobbing, "Father, Yan'er thought I would never see you again... "

Looking at the haggard face of the old emperor, Fang Xiu couldn't help but feel his nose sore when he thought of his nagging around him in the past.

Although most of the time, he disliked the old emperor, and felt that he was always making trouble for himself, and he would order himself around when he had nothing to do. He would let himself participate in the pro-military review and then let himself take the imperial examination.

However, he also had to admit that the reason why he was so... rampant in the capital, and no one dared to offend him, was all due to the old emperor.

The old emperor can be said to be one of his biggest backers after he came to this world...

The other, of course, is his cheap daddy——An Pingbo.

"Your Majesty will not meet you!"

Fang Xiu thought of this, took a step forward, stood upright, and saluted respectfully.

The Emperor of Chu comforted Zhao Yan softly, then looked at Fang Xiu, feeling quite emotional, and said: "I never thought that I would be framed by my son to this point, nor did I think that I would be rescued from there in the end." The one who came out was you who was still in the Central Plains and knew nothing about the affairs of the palace...

Hugh, you worked hard..."

The old emperor didn't know what he was thinking of, he who had always kept his expression on before Mount Tai collapsed, was about to shed tears while talking.

And it was the first time that Fang Xiu was called 'Xiu'er'.

This address made Fang Xiu feel a little... strange, but he still complied, saying: "This is the responsibility of the minister!"

The old emperor shook his head, thinking about his sadness, he was speechless.

After a while, Fang Cai said in a deep voice: "I have heard about the poisonous Gu..."

Speaking of this, he looked at Liu Qing who was standing next to him, and said: "I have heard Liu Qing say that life is only a short moment, even a king, and the fate of death is inevitable.

Early death, late death, in the end, they are all mortal.

The sage has a saying, death... is heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. I am fifty-one this year, and it is false to say that I have lived enough.

But it's not to the point of nostalgia for this world and panic.

Even if you can't find an antidote, it's nothing more than a word of 'death', so, Hugh...you can do whatever you want without worrying about me. "

Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, paused, and then continued: "The pro-military mansion, the nominal commander is the Duke of England, but in fact, I have always known it.

That Nizi only thought that if he replaced a commander, he would be able to control the Qinjun Mansion, which is really ridiculous...

After dawn... no, wait a while, Xiuer, you will hold my hand and go to the British government, order the British prince to go to the Qinjun mansion, regain control of the Qinjun mansion, and arrest the traitor immediately!

In addition, the towns stationed outside the city can also send people to hold my tiger talisman and order them not to act rashly, and those who violate it will be executed!

I will be here, and I will go back to the palace after you deal with the traitor..."

After going through this incident, Emperor Chu understood a truth.

That is... As the son of heaven, no matter what happens, you must be cautious, otherwise, if you are not careful, you will be lost forever.

He also knew the virtues of his two sons.

But he never expected that his son could do such a rebellious thing like bullying the king!

Now, besides Liu Cheng who has been by his side for decades, the only thing he can trust and rely on is Fang Xiu.

He knew what kind of person Fang Xiu was.

He also knew how many obstacles and tribulations he had to go through to rush back to the capital from the Central Plains Road after he got the news.

This is not his own son, but compared with his own son, it is so different...

A person who has tried his best to put himself to death.

The other tried his best to keep himself alive.

Thinking of this, his heart ached even more, and his face became even more haggard. He waved his hands and said, "Go, I'm here waiting for your good news..."

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and said nothing.

It was because he was too tired that he fell asleep on this chair.

Seeing this, Liu Cheng hurried forward, handed the tiger talisman, the gold medal, and the letter written by Emperor Chu to Fang Xiu, and said softly, "Master Fang, everything is up to you... .”

Fang Xiu stretched out his hand to take the three items, glanced at the sleeping Emperor Chu, with a ruthless expression on his face, cupped his hands and said: "I obey the order!"

Chapter 576 The Crown Prince's Position

With these three things, everything after that can be said to be a matter of course...

Even in the middle of the night, the British Duke was still wearing light armor, as if he knew that there would be such a day, from Fang Xiu's visit to his appearance as leader, there was only a short half-stick of incense in between.

The garrisons of the towns outside the city were originally transferred from other places. Seeing the tiger talisman was like seeing the emperor. They didn't even need Fang Xiu to show up. They obeyed the order and retreated thirty miles from the imperial city. They no longer pose any threat.

As for the government soldiers recruited by King Ning, they were originally mobs, even compared with the guards of Fangfu, they were not as good as they were, let alone the sixteen guards of the pro-army of Shangcheng, it was only a one-night effort. was completely wiped out.

Of course, even though Fang Xiu led people to search the entire palace, King Ning was not found.

He should have foreseen all this in advance and ran away early.

Even so, Fang Xiu still did not relax his vigilance, first ordered the sixteen guards to guard the main roads, and then personally led the guards to search around.

Although King Ning was not found until the end, a lot of remnants of the Poison Gu Sect were uncovered. In addition, Wei Guogong, who had a relationship with him, was also arrested in an abandoned temple. turn up.

When they found him, he was still disguised as a beggar, almost the same as Fang Xiu when he sneaked into the capital city.

You know, Fang Xiu got into the capital city by relying on this. Playing these tricks in front of him is tantamount to playing tricks.

In addition, there are people from the Secret Service Division.

This time, because the Secret Service Division was unresponsive, everything was cleaned up from top to bottom.

Fang Xiu's acquaintances were also included.

It was the guy who was arrogant in front of him by searching for the remnants of the Poison Gu Sect. I can't remember his name, but his surname seems to be Yuan?

All in all, as long as the emperor has nothing to do, the capital city, or the state of Chu, what it was before and what it will be in the end, cannot be changed.

If there is any change, it is that the battle for the heir apparent that has lasted for several years, even more than ten years, has finally come to an end.

There is no doubt that after this incident, the biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly Kang Wang.

He successfully aspired to the position of crown prince without any effort.

There are only three princes today, one is still young, and the other has committed a heinous crime. No matter how you choose, there is only one suitable candidate left, that is King Kang...

All of a sudden, King Kang's Mansion was full of people.

In just a few days, there were countless visitors.

All of this, in Fang Xiu's eyes, naturally dismissed it.

In the eyes of the old emperor, he shook his head and sighed, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Liu has been in the palace for seven days, and there shouldn't be any more troubles. I suggest you drive back to the palace."

On a wonton stall not far from the entrance of King Kang’s Mansion.

Fang Xiu and Emperor Chu were sitting opposite each other, each eating a bowl of Chaos.

"I have lived in the temple for a long time, and these days it is a rare opportunity to take a good walk in this Gyeonggi Province and have a look.

You are so anxious to let me go back to the palace, maybe it's because you dislike me for eating too much and won't give you money? "

Like ordinary people in the market, Emperor Chu picked up the bowl, took a sip of soup, looked at Fang Xiu, and teased.

After more than ten days of getting along, the relationship between the two people is more harmonious than before.

Fang Xiu was also more relaxed when facing Emperor Chu.

Hearing this, he looked at the Emperor Chu and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this time, one of the shops in the minister's mansion suffered disaster.

In fact, this is all secondary. The most important thing is Baolefang. All the money I earned was taken away, and the servants here are almost unable to pay the wages of the guys...

You can't blame me for being stingy, I really have no money..."

This is actually not wrong.

What is the relationship between Fang Xiu and King Ning...

If we don't fight when we meet, that's already considered good.

After King Ning came to power, the first batch of people who were liquidated were of course related to the Fang Mansion.

Among other things, heavyweight guards like the Shenji Camp were demolished in just two days.

Liang Hu, such a quasi-grandmaster-level master, a general who is good at leading troops and fighting in battle, was charged with an unfounded crime and sent to the dungeon for no reason just because he served Fang Xiu under his command.

There are also those shops in Fangfu, whether it is Chunfenglou, Zhuxuanzhai and Jingshi Grand Theatre, one counts as one, and they are all closed.

Of course, fortunately, within a few days, King Ning was kicked out by Fang Xiu.

Liang Hu didn't suffer much in the dungeon.

The shops in Fangfu have not had time to move.

Thanks to Fang Xiu's foresight, he didn't put all his eggs in one basket. He only kept a few thousand taels of silver in Baolefang for emergency use, and hid all the other silver.

Otherwise, the loss will be huge!

"You..."

Hearing this, Emperor Chu stretched out his hand, pointed at Fang Xiu, and said with a smile: "I knew I couldn't hide from you, it's just such a few thousand taels of silver, I've been whispering in my ear for a few days.

I remember correctly, in the first two months, you earned 30 Wenyin just by selling the mansion, right? "

Fang Xiu said: "Your Majesty, all these coins are useful.

Think about it, where did you get the money for the pro-military inspection, and the porridge shed you just went to the south of the city yesterday...

So many beggars, so many refugees, how much food should they eat in a day, every grain, every drop of water, as well as the firewood, the porridge man, all need money... ...

This minister is not a lover of money, nor is he a miser, but only with these silvers can he serve the court better and serve His Majesty..."

"have to......"

Before he could finish speaking, the Emperor of Chu waved his hand and said: "I can't say anything to you, everything has become a major issue for the country and the people when it comes to you, I will write you a letter later.

How much silver is missing in your Baolefang, just go to the inner treasury to get it..."

When Fang Xiu heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said happily: "Your Majesty is wise, thank you, Your Majesty!"

However, Emperor Chu seemed to be thinking of the little silver left in the inner treasury, with a distressed expression on his face, he didn't want to talk to Fang Xiu, and continued to eat his wontons.

After eating, he seemed to think of something, and glanced at the door in front of King Kang's Mansion, which was still welcoming visitors from all walks of life with a smile, and then turned his head to look at Fang Xiu.

A mysterious expression like a naughty boy suddenly appeared on the old face, and he leaned close to Fang Xiu, lowered his voice, and asked in a low voice: "Fang Xiu, who do you think is more suitable for me to pass on the crown prince, King Kang and Hao'er?" ?”

"..."

When Fang Xiu heard this, he was startled for a moment, then he looked at the Emperor Chu with a look of embarrassment, and said, "Your Majesty, you are making things difficult for me..."

Chapter 577 Conversation between Monarch and Subject

Only Fang Xiu dared to say the word "make things difficult" in front of Emperor Chu.
