The happy life of a prodigal

People are multi-faceted.

On the one hand, he does not want to see the poor suffer, on the other hand, he himself does not want to suffer.

Then we can only let these officials and squires suffer!

Chapter 754 Fang Xiu's Another Transformation

Everyone in the Tao Mansion heard Fang Xiu's words, and naturally fell silent.

On the one hand, they dare not say anything, on the other hand, they really have nothing to refute.

Only the little girl didn't understand what Fang Xiu meant, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something.

However, Fang Xiu didn't bother to talk to her at all, but took people to the next mansion.

A total of 67 mansions, a total of nearly one million taels of silver!

What is the concept of a million taels of silver! ?

It can almost be worth half a year's income from the national treasury!

It's just...

This is just 67 mansions!

How many people are there in the whole Great Chu?

The money was piled up in one carriage after another, and when it was delivered to the palace, it stretched for hundreds of meters without interruption.

There were many people watching, but none of them knew what was in the carriage.

It's also because they didn't know what was inside the carriage, otherwise they would have torn down the palace in anger!

Millions of taels of silver, not to mention other places in Dachu, even in Kyoto Prefecture, there are so many people who can't even afford to eat!

When Fang Xiu was in the Nuan Pavilion, he reported this matter to Chu Huang.

After hearing this, Emperor Chu was also furious.

He really did not expect that the civil and military officials above the court could be so greedy.

So much silver is a bit too exaggerated!

Moreover, this does not count the ministers and ministers of various ministries.

You must know that the one who was actually investigated and prosecuted was the left servant of the Ministry of Rites. Although he had a lot of power, he was no match for the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials in terms of making money.

How much money does the household department and the official department add together?

"It just doesn't make sense!"

Thinking of this, Emperor Chu had an angry expression on his face. He couldn't help but picked up a teacup and smashed it heavily on the ground, his eyes were already red.

Obviously very angry.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu stood aside without saying a word.

Some things, his identity, are not suitable to say.

However, if he didn't say anything, Emperor Chu would not let him go.

After Emperor Chu calmed down a bit, he looked at Fang Xiu with a gentler expression.

No matter what, Fang Xiu's money was obtained in an open and honest manner.

There is still a difference with these dogs.

Emperor Chu asked, "Fang Xiu, what do you think of this matter?"

Fang Xiu was slightly taken aback, this question is really difficult to answer...

What do you think?

If you really want to ask me what I think, I can only say that I stand and watch, otherwise?

but......

Fang Xiu hesitated for a while, but he still didn't make peace, but pointed out the key point, and said: "Your Majesty, I think that now is a good time to change the imperial examinations!

Women's imperial examinations have been rumored for some time. Whether it is the civil and military officials in the court, or the gentry and common people in the rivers and lakes, they have actually been able to accept the existence of women's imperial examinations.

That being the case, why not simply implement the changes in the imperial examinations? "

When Emperor Chu heard this, he frowned tightly and did not speak.

Obviously, that wasn't what he wanted to hear.

However, since seeing Emperor Chu a few days ago, Fang Xiu didn't bother to tell Emperor Chu what he wanted to hear.

Fang Xiu now only wants to do what he should do and say what he should say.

He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, what is the current imperial examination?"

"Naturally it is to select good talents!" Chu Huang blurted out.

There is no need to think about this question.

When Fang Xiu heard this, a smile appeared on his face: "What is the standard? How many scriptures, how many poems, how many policy theories? Excuse me, bluntly, these things can't select any talents at all!

At most, it is just to select those rotten people, the spokespersons of those gentry, just some maggots!

Then, some of these maggots turned into flies, and only a small part could turn into butterflies, especially now!

Your Majesty, it has been so many years since there have been real noble sons from poor families. For so many years, the imperial examination should have flourished, but now many people don't even have the money to read the books.

Children from really poor families don't know how much hardship they have to pay to get an equal opportunity in the imperial examination.

That's all, the content of the imperial examination is still classics, poems, policy theory...

In my opinion, there is only one useful thing among these things, policy theory, except policy theory, all should be discarded! "

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Chu became angry immediately.

Glaring at Fang Xiu, he said loudly: "Bold! The scriptures are the words of a sage..."

Before Emperor Chu finished speaking, Fang Xiu interrupted him: "The words of the saints? They are nothing more than teaching people to cultivate themselves, to be kind, to love the people, and to be cautious of independence...

However, one of the people selected by the imperial examination counts as one, and how many of them can do the words of a saint? "

Speaking of this, Fang Xiu let out a disdainful sneer, and said: "Of course, the words of the sage, benevolence, righteousness and morality, they don't have it in their hearts, but they often talk about it, and it is the words of the sage from time to time. It's benevolence and morality!"

"..."

When Emperor Chu heard this, he was completely dumbfounded.

It was not only the Emperor Chu who was confused, but also Liu Cheng who was beside him.

They never thought that Fang Xiu would be so courageous now.

This......

Is this still a courtier?

Why have you never seen Fang Xiu like this before?

Chu Huang stretched out his hand and pointed at Fang Xiu, almost speechless in anger.

Fang Xiu looked up at Emperor Chu, and said coldly: "Your Majesty, I know what you think.

Let me bluntly say that you are a loyal king, but not necessarily a wise one. You treat my ministers well. I used to think that you treated my ministers sincerely, but now I understand that you are only proficient in the art of weighing the emperor. .

In the final analysis, we still have to pay attention to status.

Of course, this minister doesn't have any opinions, but now the minister has other ideas. "

"you you......"

Chu Huang stretched out his finger and pointed at Fang Xiu, his face flushed red, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

The relationship between the monarch and his ministers took a sharp turn for the worse.

From the original peak to the bottom in an instant.

"You, what are you going to do? You are too brave!"

After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Chu was finally able to speak.

After Fang Xiu heard this, he shook his head, with a look of unbearable expression on his face. After being unbearable, he gradually became firm again.

To be honest, Fang Xiu now feels that his life is very meaningless.

It's like a cheating cheat in life.

Inexplicably, the journey went smoothly.

There wasn't even a single setback from start to finish.

From General Zhonglang at the beginning to General Shenjiying later, from the son of Uncle Anping to the Marquis of Xin'an today, and then to the Minister of Fuguo.

It's really boring, very boring!

He originally thought that he and Emperor Chu were friendship, or confidants.

Emperor Chu understood himself.

After the craniotomy, Fang Xiu saw Huang Chu's suspicion.

On the matter of King Kang, Fang Xiu also kept in mind the aggressiveness of Emperor Chu.

That being the case, it is better to change the game of life.

Now, Fang Xiu is going to play... a simulation game of civilization!

Chapter 755 Marquis Xin'an is a meritorious minister!

Seeing the scene in front of him, Chu Huang was stunned and didn't know what to do.

Fang Xiu seemed to be calm, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial examination system has reached the point where it has to be changed. Whether you agree or not, the cabinet agrees, the civil and military officials above the court Whether the officials agree or not, the imperial examination must be changed!"

When he said this, he didn't continue to say unnecessary nonsense, but just stood upright, saluted respectfully, and just turned around and left!

"I retire!"

Fang Xiu turned and left, and the entire Nuan Pavilion was silent.

Chu Huang sat where he was, completely unaware of what happened.

In his eyes, Fang Xiu was still the genius with outstanding talent and Wang Zuozhi's talent, but he became a powerful minister and a sycophantic minister in such a blink of an eye.

What the hell happened to this...?

Liu Cheng stood in front of Emperor Chu, but he seemed to have expected it long ago. He didn't look too surprised, but sighed deeply.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and I don't know how long it took before Emperor Chu realized it, and shouted in a cold voice: "Come on!"

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

The one who entered the Nuan Pavilion was the fifth-rank imperial guard, one of several chief guards in the palace.

Of course, some time ago, during the private visit of Emperor Chu on Weifu, he did not follow him, but was in charge of guarding the palace.

"Go, bring Fang Xiu to me!" Chu Huang's face was still full of anger, and his voice was a little hoarse as he thought of something.

The imperial guard heard this, but he didn't accept the order, instead he raised his eyes to look at Emperor Chu.

There was hesitation on his face, and then his expression gradually became firm, and he said: "Your Majesty, I would like to know what crime Xin Anhou committed. Your Majesty wants to arrest Xin Anhou?"

When Emperor Chu heard this, he was stunned.

Immediately, he was furious, stood up from the dragon chair, slapped the table, and cursed: "I want to arrest someone, do I need a reason?"

It never occurred to him that even the imperial guards in the palace would dare to refute him after he just went to Jiangnan Road.

Who knows, what he didn't expect is yet to come.

I saw the imperial guard showing a firm face, cupped his hands, and said loudly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Marquis Xin'an is one of the four ministers who assist the country. He has devoted himself to the country and the people, and is deeply loved by the people." love.

If you don't have any reason, then you want to arrest Marquis Xin'an, forgive me for speaking bluntly, it's hard for me to obey orders! "

As soon as these words came out, the entire Nuan Pavilion fell silent again.

This time, Emperor Chu seemed to understand something, and subconsciously looked at Liu Cheng beside him.

Liu Cheng lowered his head and didn't say a word.
