The happy life of a prodigal

He obviously knew about women's imperial examinations.

Not only know, but understand very well.

He even spent a long time talking about it with his counselor Gong Lao.

Analyzed pros and cons.

Mrs. Gong always supported this woman's imperial examination.

But he did not support Kang Wang in supporting women's imperial examinations.

This is a bit forgiving.

In fact, it can be summed up in one sentence.

This women's imperial examination can be carried forward.

But it cannot be implemented by His Royal Highness Kang Wang, but a scapegoat must be found.

Obviously, Fang Xiu is the scapegoat.

As for why?

It couldn't be easier.

Kang Wang needs the support of the scholar-bureaucrats.

Since we want the support of scholar-bureaucrats, the imperial examination cannot be moved!

Regardless of whether it is a women's imperial examination or a men's imperial examination, all in all, there cannot be any changes in the imperial examination.

If there is a change, many gentry may not value Kang Wang here.

Therefore, no matter when, as long as you leave the palace.

Kang Wang kept silent about the women's imperial examination.

No matter who asks, it is just a one-sentence response.

do not know.

Don't understand.

Do not comment.

but......

Fang Xiu now insisted on his answer.

Kang Wang hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously glanced around.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu couldn't help laughing.

He said lightly: "His Royal Highness, please rest assured that there is no one else in this courtyard except me.

And I don't want His Royal Highness Kang Wang's long speeches, but just want His Highness Kang Wang's attitude.

Does His Royal Highness King Kang support or oppose this women's imperial examination? "

Kang Wang still hesitated.

Without a doubt, he didn't trust Fang Xiu.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu shook his head and said, "If His Royal Highness King Kang doesn't want to say it, then that's all."

Speaking of this, he paused, sighed, and said, "It's a pity that your majesty appointed me as the Minister of Fuguo, but I don't even know His Highness King Kang's attitude towards the most important matter of the court at the moment.

If His Majesty comes back, how should I explain to His Majesty!

At that time, the minister can only tell the truth.

The minister asked again and again, but His Highness just kept silent, as if unwilling to talk to the minister. "

When Kang Wang heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.

But Fang Xiu didn't stop, and continued: "At that time, I still want to ask His Majesty for advice.

What does a person value in this world are real achievements, his own feathers, or his own reputation.

As a minister, what should I do? "

"..."

When Kang Wang heard this, he could no longer calm down.

It's just heart-wrenching!

I have to admit that this guy can hit his vitals with one blow.

If the emperor really heard this question, what would he think of him?

What is the purpose of setting up four auxiliary ministers?

Not just to test him.

In the end, a minister of the auxiliary country issued a question of 'merit or reputation'.

What should the royal father think?

King Kang took a deep breath, raised his eyes, looked at Fang Xiu, gritted his teeth, and said, "My king's attitude towards this woman's imperial examination is very simple.

neither for nor against..."

Chapter 691

This is very opportunistic.

It is in line with the so-called middle way.

Fang Xiu didn't care.

Because all he wanted was that sentence.

Neither support nor objection.

In other words, just don't object?

A smile appeared on Fang Xiu's face, and he began to think about how to use His Highness Kang Wang's no objection to create momentum for women's imperial examinations.

After all, it is only with the support of the Emperor Chu that it is difficult to carry out the women's imperial examination.

But with the addition of His Highness Kang Wang who is very likely to become the crown prince in the future, the situation may not be certain.

How many years the Emperor Chu can be in charge of the court is still unknown.

His Royal Highness Kang Wang will definitely stay on the dragon chair for a long time.

When Fang Xiu thought of this, Wang Kang felt much more pleasing to the eye.

He stood up, walked in front of King Kang, opened his mouth, and was about to say something.

At this time, there was a sudden shout from outside the door.

"This is the Marquis of Linze, what are you going to do?"

Immediately afterwards, there was the clang of swords, and there was a cry of killing.

When Fang Xiu heard these voices, his expression changed.

But it quickly returned to normal, looked at King Kang, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, who do you think the assassin's target will be?"

Kang Wang looked very calm and shook his head.

Fang Xiu just looked at him like this, as if he must give an answer.

Obviously, Kang Wang already had a certain understanding of Fang Xiu after going through the previous incident.

Since you want the answer, here's the answer.

"Since you are in the Marquis of Linze, this king guesses that the assassin's target should be you, Marquis of Xin'an."

"Hahahaha!"

Fang Xiu laughed when he heard this, and said: "Then these assassins really picked a good time.

Whether it's early or late, it's a coincidence that he didn't come until His Royal Highness Kang Wang came to my residence. "

When Kang Wang heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

The shouting and killing outside continued.

Fang Xiu had already sat back in his seat.

Pick up the teacup and sip the tea.

Obviously, he has great trust in the guards of the Linzehou Mansion.

Seeing this, King Kang sat back on his seat again, and like Fang Xiu, he picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Time passed minute by minute.

I don't know how long it took.

The noise from outside finally became less.

After a while, Bai Xiaochun walked in, took a look at Kang Wang, moved to Fang Xiu's side, and whispered a few words.

After Fang Xiu heard this, he looked at King Kang and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness, do you want to know who sent these assassins and who are their targets?"

Kang Wang looked at Fang Xiu without saying a word, but there was always a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Fang Xiu also looked at him.

I don't know how long it took before King Kang replied: "Actually, I really want to know.

Is all this a coincidence, and someone is planning behind it, after all, this time is too coincidental. "

Fang Xiu smiled and said, "Actually, I really want to know."

Having said that, he waved his hand.

Bai Xiaochun immediately understood and left the yard.

After a while, Liu Qing walked into the courtyard with an assassin on his back.

To Fang Xiu's surprise, there was a wound on Liu Qing's arm.

With Liu Qing's lightness skills, these assassins were able to hurt her.

Obviously, the strength of these guys is not trivial.

And professionally trained.

Even so, they did not expect that a small Hou's mansion would be so heavily guarded.

In the end, it was mighty, but it didn't even break through the first door.

"I'll ask you two questions. If you answer them well, I can spare your life."

Fang Xiu got up, walked in front of the assassin, looked at him, and smiled.

When the assassin heard this, he showed disdain and spat.

Expressed his disdain.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu smiled, stretched out a finger, and said, "The first question, is this your first time as an assassin?"

The assassin was slightly taken aback when he heard this question.

Kang Wang next to him was also stunned.

What a problem.

Fang Xiu stretched out his second finger and continued to ask, "Second question, do you want to live?"

"..."

Although the assassin was surprised that Fang Xiu's two questions were these, he didn't say anything, but his expression was firm, indicating that he couldn't say anything.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu shook his head, looked at Bai Xiaochun, and said, "Alright, he's useless, take him away."

It was a light sentence, but everyone present knew what it meant.

Kang Wang watched Bai Xiaochun take the assassin away, wanted to say something several times, but in the end he still didn't say anything.

He wanted to see what Fang Xiu was going to do.
