The happy life of a prodigal

When they came, they thought about many possibilities.

I also thought about the possible reactions of the Emperor Chu after hearing the news.

But I didn't expect that Emperor Chu would go to Jiangnan in person for such a news.

You know, even if you are in a hurry, it will take at least a few days to travel from Jiangnan to Gyeonggi.

Not to mention the carriage.

Then count the guards along the way and the arrangements along the way.

Going back and forth, not to mention how much money it costs, it will take a month to make a base in terms of time.

Of course, it may be faster by water.

But it's not going anywhere.

It's nothing to put it in the past, but...

Fang Xiu knew that the Emperor Chu still had Gu poison on his body!

Chapter 685 Minister of Fuguo

That is to say, if no antidote is found, or the operation fails, Emperor Chu can only live another six or seven months at most.

During these six or seven months, nearly one-third of the time will be spent on this sweet potato.

If the final result is not so satisfactory.

When Fang Xiu thought of this, he no longer dared to think about it.

He was afraid that Emperor Chu would be disappointed.

I am also afraid of being disappointed.

What's more, Emperor Chu's health is not very good.

The road is very bumpy. If something really happens, what should I do?

Moreover, there is another more important question.

Or... is the most important question.

The Emperor Chu has gone to the south of the Yangtze River, who should be in charge of the capital?

Kang Wang?

From the current point of view, he is indeed the most suitable.

But both Emperor Chu and Fang Xiu knew it in their hearts.

Kang Wang's status is suitable, but his ability is not suitable.

Without a suitable assistant minister, King Kang would not be able to sit in the court at all.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiu raised his eyes to look at the Emperor Chu, and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, the private visit of Weifu is a very important matter, not to mention that the two roads in the south of the Yangtze River are far away from the capital city.

There are too many possible changes in the middle, Your Majesty, I still ask you to think more about it. "

The three elders next to him also reacted at this moment.

According to common sense, they should, like Fang Xiu, persuade the Emperor Chu to sit in the court.

However, at this moment, they did not make any statement.

He even showed a thoughtful expression, as if he was thinking about something.

Fang Xiu is not a fool.

When he saw the reaction of the three elders, he immediately understood Emperor Chu's intentions.

He raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Chu, not knowing what to say for a while.

The words of persuasion that I had planned to persuade couldn't be said.

really......

As Fang Xiu expected, Emperor Chu spoke.

"This sweet potato is a big deal, a first-class one! There is nothing more important than this in the whole imperial court! This private visit by my incognito server is for sure!

Fang Xiu, don't try to persuade me anymore, it's useless, I've made up my mind!

During the period when I was not in the capital, King Kang was sitting in charge, and the three Ge elders and Marquis Xin'an were ministers of the auxiliary state, assisting King Kang in handling affairs.

Any matter, if there is a disagreement, it will be decided by the four auxiliary ministers! "

This is to...

Fang Xiu was slightly taken aback, and his expression changed a little.

He understood what the Emperor Chu meant by these words.

This is not only because of the sweet potato, but more because he is preparing for his own death!

What Kang Wang looked like, obviously Chu Huang knew it in his heart.

Therefore, this test was set.

If King Kang passed the test, the position of crown prince must be his.

That's how it should be.

If not passed...

Not necessarily.

Because, no matter what, Emperor Chu has another prince.

Although the prince is young and has not even been crowned king, he still has the qualifications of the crown prince.

Moreover, Concubine Shu's family has a certain weight in the court, so it is impossible for King Kang to succeed in rebelling.

In addition, four auxiliary ministers were also set up.

The three elders plus myself.

It is normal for the three elders to serve as ministers of the auxiliary country.

But myself...

Fang Xiu didn't even know what Emperor Chu's intention was.

No matter how you look at it, I am definitely not the material to be a minister of the auxiliary country!

Among other things, it is the age that is difficult to pass.

At Fang Xiu's young age, if he was selected as a Jinshi, he would already be recorded in history and be called a genius!

Not to mention the Minister of Fuguo.

The four words "Fuguo Minister" carry a lot of weight.

It is not only the ability that is valued, the most important thing is the qualifications!

The three cabinet elders were originally in the position of ministers of the auxiliary country. Sitting in this position will not attract any criticism.

But in the final analysis, Fang Xiu, no matter how much he contributed, how many strategies he proposed.

No matter how much he helped the court, he was only a martial artist after all.

Just a Xin'anhou.

And on top of the Marquis of Xin'an, there are Duke Dingguo and Duke Yingying.

No matter from which point of view, this fourth auxiliary country minister should not be Fang Xiu.

This is not fear of being scolded.

In fact, Fang Xiu was afraid of everything, except being scolded.

This is......

Burden!

A heavy burden on your shoulders!

Although Fang Xiu wanted to do something for the court and the people of Chu State, but... that was all.

He never has.

Even if he didn't even for a moment, he thought about taking on such a heavy burden!

Therefore, as soon as Chu Huang's words fell, Fang Xiu stood up, walked to the middle of the Nuan Pavilion, and looked at Chu Huang with a serious expression.

He stood upright, saluted respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, I am not good enough to take the position of minister of the auxiliary country, no matter in terms of ability or qualifications.

I hope His Majesty will take it back! "

The three elders were a little surprised when they heard this.

Yeah!

It was the first time they had seen Xin Anhou like this.

The obvious benefits, but don't want it.

This is really strange.

After hearing this, Emperor Chu smiled.

Obviously, he had already thought that Fang Xiu would do this.

He raised his eyes, looked at Fang Xiu, smiled, and said lightly: "Hahahahaha!

I knew you would say that.

I still remember the last time, when I asked you to go to the army, you said the same thing, and I hope His Majesty will take it back.

How I answered you back then is the same answer now.

You can stay in the house and do nothing, don't care about anything, and don't even ask about anything.

Salary, I will give it to you as well, and you also have to sit in the position of Minister of the Fuguo! "

"..."

Hearing this, Fang Xiu was speechless.

What does it mean?

Emotional courage, I have to choose it?

He hesitated for a moment, still unable to make a decision.

After a while, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, my subject..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Emperor Chu: "Okay, this matter will stop here, I have made up my mind, don't talk about it anymore."

"His Majesty......"

Fang Xiu still wants to say.

But Chu Huangteng stood up suddenly, looked at the three elders, and said solemnly: "Sweet potato, I must go to see it, this matter is very involved, if it is really like Xin'anhou and this... ...."

"Little Qianzheng."

Seeing Emperor Chu pointing at him, Qian Zheng said hurriedly.

Emperor Chu glanced at him, smiled, and continued: "As Qian Zheng said, one mu of fertile land can produce seven thousand catties of sweet potatoes, so many strategies formulated by the imperial court will change.

My great Chu's position in this world will also change suddenly.

Therefore, I want to go and see, and I will leave this imperial court to you for the time being.

You are all veterans and have been by my side for a long time. I am at ease when you do things.

King Kang..."

When Emperor Chu mentioned King Kang, he hesitated for a moment, sighed, and finally said nothing, but said: "You all do your best, step back, I'm going to rest."

Chapter 686 I'm so excited

Emperor Chu said that he was going to rest.
