The happy life of a prodigal

When King Kang heard this, he looked back at the old man, hung up the painting again, sat back on his seat, and said angrily, "What does Fang Xiu mean!?

The king invited him again and again, but he always refused with such absurd reasons!

For the first time, what kind of Liulifang opened, this king can still bear it...

The second time, it was a normal reason to accompany Yan'er to a New Year's Eve temple fair.

This time it's good, Jingshi Super League?

It turns out that in Fang Xiu's eyes, this king is not as good as a group of Qiuba playing football! "

"Your Highness, please be patient..."

The old man picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said calmly: "Xin'anbo's talent, there is no doubt, there are not a few people who have held it since ancient times...

What's more, Xin'anbo is young and talented, and the teenagers are crazy, which is understandable.

Your Highness is going to be a king in the future, so you shouldn't care about these trivial matters with your courtiers...

The old man is already very old, and he probably won't have the chance to see the day when His Highness becomes His Majesty.

Therefore, it is even more impossible to assist His Highness. Xin'anbo is different. The old man has spent a long time observing this person's behavior.

This person's behavior seems extremely absurd, but in fact, every time he does something, there must be his deep meaning behind it, and what he does is of great benefit to the country, the people, and even the king.

Your Majesty once said that Xin'anbo is the talent of Wang Zuo...

The old man also thinks so, talents are often found, Wang Zuozhi is rare, and His Highness should be happy to have Wang Zuozhi like Xin'anbo as a subject. "

These words are well-founded and convincing.

After Kang Wang heard this, his tightly frowning brows eased a little.

However, he was still a little angry, and said, "No matter how talented you are, you will be a minister, and no matter how mediocre this king is, you will still be a king... a future king.

How should a courtier behave like this in front of the king?

According to this king, if Fang Xiu's character does not change, no matter how great his talent is, he cannot be reused! "

Having said that, he paused, as if thinking of something from the past, and gritted his teeth and added: "If it can't be used by me, it's better to destroy it as soon as possible!"

Chapter 629 Who is it?

When he said this, he seemed to think of something, and there was a fierce look in his eyes.

Seeing this, the old man naturally understood that what he was thinking in his heart was nothing more than the matter of the poisonous Gu back then.

He opened his mouth, wanting to persuade again.

King Kang waved his hand, and said casually: "Mr. Gong doesn't need to persuade you anymore, this king knows this matter well.

Even now that the king doesn't want to recruit him, this superficial effort must be done.

After all, everyone knows that the royal father values ​​Fang Xiu, and as long as the royal father is still in power for a day, this king will get along well with Fang Xiu! "

When the old man heard this, he naturally understood what he meant.

His Majesty is still there, so he gets along well with Xin'anbo.

So, what if His Majesty is not here?

I'm afraid I will see you with a poor dagger.

It's a pity that Wang Zuozhi is such a talented person, it's a pity...

He shook his head, with a regretful expression on his face, but he didn't say anything more, as if he had decided that His Royal Highness Kang Wang would never leave Xin Amber behind.

Kang Wang looked outside the courtyard and shouted, "Come here!"

"Your Highness!"

As soon as the words fell, a servant came in a hurry, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "What do you want Your Highness to order?"

King Kang looked at him with a thoughtful look on his face, and after only a moment, he ordered: "Send another invitation card to the person I invited.

Let’s just say that after three days, the king has something important to attend, so it’s inconvenient to attend, so the banquet will be postponed for two days..."

Hearing this, the servant was slightly taken aback,

Your Highness always prepares early when doing things, why this time...

Although he was puzzled in his heart, he still respectfully said: "Young one understands, let's do it now!"

"Wait!"

The servant just got up, but was stopped by King Kang again: "There is one more thing, that is to go to Linze Hou Mansion, and send an invitation to Xin'anbo, saying that this banquet is organized by the king for Xin'anbo …

The king has not seen Xin'anbo for a long time, and even misses him, so he must attend.

If after five days, Xin'anbo still has important matters and cannot attend, the king will continue to postpone until Xin'anbo pays her respects..."

The servant was completely shocked when he heard this.

His Royal Highness is the future monarch, the future emperor, there is no reason to postpone the banquet because of a subject's repeated refusal.

Xin Amber is highly regarded by His Majesty, and he knows about it.

But, when did His Royal Highness value Xin Amber so much?

I remember that in the past, he often heard his highness yelling at Xin Amber alone when he was in the study!

"Yes, the little one understands!"

Even so, the servant still responded, turned and left the palace.

Seeing this scene, the old man smoothed his beard and said: "Your Highness's move is exactly what I want.

Xin'anbo, you have to win over, even if Xin'anbo disdains His Highness, His Highness must pretend to be a virtuous corporal.

The more this is the case, the more officials in the court and the common people in the market will praise His Highness's character, and the more they will think His Highness is capable!

This is called retreating to advance..."

When King Kang heard this, he sighed and said, "To be a prince, for the sake of this king, is really useless!"

"No, no..."

The old man shook his head and said: "The case of King Ning is right in front of us, I hope His Highness will persist for a while, and you must not slack off!"

"This king knows..."

Kang Wang waved his sleeves, picked up the teacup, and drank it down in one gulp.

Then, looking at the old man, he asked: "I heard that some time ago, many refugees and beggars in this capital were given relief?

Or food, or clothing, or bedding, or copper coins, or children's toys...

Can this matter? "

Hearing this question, the old man frowned lightly, and said: "The old man is also strange, no matter who did it, it will definitely be publicized, but now there is no movement at all.

In the entire capital, except for those refugees and beggars, there are some interested people who know about this matter, but no one has heard of it.

Nowadays, whether it is in the streets and alleys or in the court, there are many people discussing this matter.

Some people guessed that the matter was handled by the Kyoto Prefecture, but the governor denied it, and then the Ministry of Household Affairs, which denied it again.

The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, and even the Ministry of War all have people with good deeds who go to inquire, but the result is nothing...

Some people even asked the two Dukes, and it was the first time that Duke Ding and Duke Ying had heard about it.

The old man speculates that it might be a wealthy businessman who, on a whim, wanted to give relief..."

"No!"

Before the old man finished speaking, King Kang interrupted him and said: "This king knows that those merchants are a group of people who have no money and can't afford it early, and it is more difficult to get them to help than to go to heaven!

If they will take the initiative to help the victims, unless the sun, moon and stars fall together..."

"That's someone above the court..."

"Impossible."

Kang Wang frowned slightly, and said: "One is that no one can have so much silver.

After all, if there are so many victims and so many beggars in the entire capital, how much money will they need to help them at the same time?

This king roughly estimated that at least 1 taels would be needed!

Even if they have so much silver, do they dare to show it blatantly?

In case the news leaks out, at the least, you will be admonished by the emperor, at worst, the family will be full..."

I didn't say anything later, paused, and continued: "The second point is also very simple. There are not so many people. If nothing else, even if all the people in the household department do nothing, they may not be able to live in the city. Relief to so many refugees in one night without letting them see."

Hearing Kang Wang's analysis, the old man frowned slightly.

After a while, he seemed to think of something, looked at King Kang, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I should know who did this..."

"Oh?"

When Kang Wang heard this, he showed an interested expression on his face, and asked, "Who does Mr. Gong think this matter is?"

The old man picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly: "Xin Amber—Fang Xiu!"

"Fang Xiu!?"

Hearing this answer, King Kang frowned even more, waved his hands, and said, "I don't know Fang Xiu yet?

It's not bad for a person like him not to take advantage of this opportunity to snatch money from those refugees.

How could it be possible to help them! "

The old man shook his head, waved his hands and said: "Your Highness's words are wrong...

For merchants, when encountering Xin'anbo, they are naturally afraid of avoiding it.

The people of the capital...it was the same in the past.

However, since Xin'anbo suffered from brain disease half a year ago, the people in the capital have liked Xin'anbo more and more.

In addition, Xin'anbo once went to the Central Plains Road, and was still serving porridge in the south of the city.

The most important thing is that there are many servants in the Linze Hou Mansion, and there are many silver in Xin'anbo. During the Chinese New Year, it is not impossible to give relief to the people.

However, has His Highness ever thought about why he wants to help the people at this moment? "

6 Chapter Thirty

"This......"

Kang Wang had a thoughtful expression on his face, apparently unable to understand Fang Xiu's actions.

Seeing this scene, the old man showed a faint smile on his face, and said, "Your Highness, what do you think New Amber lacks most?"

"What's missing the most..."

Kang Wang was slightly startled, and analyzed: "Bao Le Fang, Zhu Xuan Zhai, Chun Feng Lou, and the recently opened Liu Li Fang are the most profitable shops, Fang Xiu is not short of money.

Fame, he is the Jieyuan of the township examination, and the examination has not yet started, so naturally there is no shortage.

In addition, it is power, and now the most important courtier of the father is him. Even the elders of the cabinet may not be able to speak more than him, a small general of the Shenjiying, even more so. No shortage......

So......"

When Kang Wang said this, he paused, raised his eyes, looked at the old man, and blurted out: "Fame!"

Hearing these two words, the old man nodded slowly, and said, "That's right, Xin'anbo doesn't lack anything, the only thing it needs is a virtuous name!"

"Fang Xiu still cares about this?"

When King Kang heard this, he expressed his doubts at the right time.

The old man shook his head and said: "Everyone cares about their own reputation, even the dancer from Yirenjuli."

Kang Wang heard this, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

After a while, he raised his eyes, looked at the old man, and asked, "Then Mr. Gong, what should I do?"

The old man stroked his beard, and with a faint smile on his old face, he said, "Since Xin Amber wants fame, Your Highness might as well give him fame.

It just so happens that His Majesty is going to hold a banquet this time, as long as Xin Amber is willing to attend.

At the banquet, His Highness announced the news to the world in front of Xin'anbo. In this way, not only won Xin'anbo's favor, but also let the civil and military ministers know that His Highness has a broad heart.
