The happy life of a prodigal

They were about to leave, but when they saw Liu Cheng catching up, he said out of breath, "An, Mr. An, His Majesty has something to tell you..."

Fang Xiu turned to look at Liu Cheng, and asked, "What's the matter?"

What matter, I can't say it just now, I have to wait for everyone to leave before calling myself back.

Liu Cheng shook his head, and told the truth: "Your Majesty never mentioned it, and even the slaves don't know about it. I think it should be a matter of the court. After all, you, Mr. An, are called by the people. Old Xiaoge."

What I said was quite straightforward.

An Guogong, you are a minister of power, you are the elder of Xiaoge, and His Majesty is about to leave, so it is normal for you to have a heart-to-heart talk.

Something different appeared in Fang Xiu's eyes. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Okay."

After speaking, he followed behind Liu Cheng.

The two returned to Concubine Shu again.

Emperor Chu was still lying on the bed, Concubine Shu was feeding him porridge, his complexion was much better than at the beginning.

"Your Majesty will not meet you!"

Fang Xiu stood at the door, stood upright, and saluted.

Hearing the voice, Emperor Chu raised his eyes to look at Concubine Shu, waved his hands and said, "This porridge tastes really good, go and cook another bowl for me..."

Concubine Shu naturally understood what these words meant, she responded, got up and bowed again, and said: "I understand..."

Turned around and left the house.

When passing by Fang Xiu's side, he hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Your Majesty is in a good mood, and I ask Lord An to look at Yan'er's face and stop saying annoying things."

"..."

Fang Xiu was speechless when he heard this.

Are you such a person?Deliberately annoy a dying person?

What does Concubine Shu think of herself?

Fang Xiu looked at Concubine Shu, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't open his mouth, he just said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I understand..."

"Yes." Concubine Shu nodded before leaving in peace.

Everyone in the world knows that An Guogong's promise is worth a thousand gold.

Since he promised, he will do it.

At this time, a voice came from inside the room: "But Fang Xiu? Come in and see me..."

"Yes!"

After hearing this, Fang Xiu stepped into the room, then walked to the side of the bed and stood there.

Emperor Chu looked up at him, pointed to the stool that Concubine Shu had sat on, and said, "Sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat."

Fang Xiu saluted again before sitting down.

The Emperor Chu looked at him, without so many twists and turns, and asked directly: "How likely is this craniotomy to succeed?"

Fang Xiu hesitated for a moment, and said: "If it's just a craniotomy, the chance of success is about [-]%. I don't know if the poisonous Gu is counted. After all, there is no precedent. It is estimated to be negligible, and it should be [-]%."

He also told the truth without hiding anything.

After hearing this, Emperor Chu smiled, and said, "[-]% is much higher than I imagined."

Fang Xiu was speechless.

Emperor Chu said again: "You are busy building a new army these days, why are you doing this? Do you want to rebel? Or do you want to attack Nanyang?"

The words of rebellion are treasonous and immoral. Throughout the ages, let alone the emperor himself mentioning it, it is rare for other courtiers to mention it in front of the emperor.

If other courtiers heard the word rebellion, they would have already knelt on the ground and shouted death.

But Fang Xiu didn't seem to take it seriously, he looked very indifferent, and said leisurely: "What's the point of rebelling, in the end, you are also an emperor, and you have been busy all your life. If you want to do anything, you have to have such and such concerns.

It's not like what I am doing now, if I want to do something, I will do it, if I don't want to do it, I will set up a pot, find some beef and mutton, and eat it...

Not to mention being the emperor, even being the Duke of Anguo, I feel a little tired. If I didn't want to start well and end well, there are so many things, such as the change of imperial examinations, such as academies, such as exchanges... I would have stopped going Never mind. "

Chapter One Thousand and Eighty

After hearing this, Emperor Chu didn't get angry, instead he laughed dumbly, shook his head and said, "You are so free and easy..."

Fang Xiu looked at Emperor Chu, sighed helplessly, and said, "Actually, I'm not as free and easy as before, and there are more obstacles invisibly, but fortunately, it's not a hindrance."

Emperor Chu also sighed, and said leisurely: "If there is no bondage, this world might be so meaningless..."

After a pause, he asked again: "Then why did you go to Nanyang for your business? You are not short of money."

The emperor of Chu asked these questions not because of the country, the court, or any other reason, but a very simple point, curiosity.

As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are also good.

Now when he was talking to Fang Xiu, he no longer had so many scruples, he said whatever came to his mind, as if he was chatting with a friend.

He hadn't felt this way for a long time.

When did it start?

It seems that from the moment he stepped on the threshold of the East Palace, he has no friends anymore...

"I want to say that it is for the people of the world, do you believe it or not?"

Fang Xiu frowned, half joking, half serious.

What does going to Nanyang have to do with the people of the world?

It's nothing more than earning more money from the aborigines in Nanyang...

Although the Emperor Chu stayed in the palace, he knew a lot about the affairs outside.

I know that Nanyang cloth, colored glaze, etc. are expensive, but rubber, spices, etc. are very cheap.

The very cheap cloth in Dachu was transported to Nanyang by boat, then sold, and then exchanged for expensive rubber, and then sold to Dachu. less money.

The Emperor Chu knew all these things.

What does this have to do with the people of the world?

Emperor Chu thought that Fang Xiu was just joking, so he smiled and said, "I have always known that you like to tell the truth in front of me."

This statement is an irony.

Many of the things Fang Xiu did before were clearly for his own self-interest, but they seemed to be for the court.

Although he seldom does these things now, it left a deep impression on Chu Huang.

Fang Xiu listened, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is really astute, and he can see through the heart of the minister at a glance... Actually, the minister is not for the people of this world, but for the people of our great Chu.

On the surface, Your Majesty, it seems that this money has flowed into the pocket of the minister, but in fact it is not the case. Every penny earned from Nanyang, whether it is the minister, this Baolefang, the British Duke, or others In fact, every penny earned by the nobles and other merchants from Nanyang actually went to the people of Dachu.

I know that your Majesty must find it difficult to understand what I said, but it's okay, you don't need to understand, Your Majesty..."

Speaking of this, I stopped abruptly and stopped talking.

Chu Huang was wondering why this happened, but seeing Fang Xiu's idle appearance, without saying a word, he felt helpless again.

After thinking about it, it's true, I'm like this now, what's the point of knowing so much?

Even if you are not like this, what can you do if you know why?

I am the king, not the Minister of the Household...

So, he sighed and said: "After all, this world still belongs to young people. Many things you said are already inconceivable in the eyes of today's Zhen, just like this Nanyang silver, that's all, that's all, no said......"

Sighing leisurely, he looked up at Fang Xiu, his expression gradually became solemn, and asked, "Fang Xiu, do you know why I want to see you alone this time?"

Fang Xiu also looked at Emperor Chu, as if seeing Emperor Chu for the first time two years ago, and replied, "I don't know."

The Emperor of Chu didn't make any more twists and turns, but said very straightforwardly: "First, I wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with you. I have already talked to you just now. Let me tell you the truth, I have never lived in this world with anyone who can talk to you heart-to-heart." , you can barely count as half of them, just a few quarters of an hour ago, you are considered a rare one.

The second is the most important thing. After Hao'er ascends the throne, there will definitely be some troubles. Anything can happen. Even the one I trust the most may not be what he was before.

Hao'er is not yet old enough to be independent, and there is no one in my harem who can listen to the government behind the curtain, so I can only count on the three elders to do their best and not forget my instructions to them, but this accident may happen at any time of.

So I hope you can do me a favor, wait until after Hao'er reaches the crown, and then do your work, so that in the past two years, I have rewarded you for my tolerance, how about it? "

After Fang Xiu listened, he glanced at Emperor Chu with a thoughtful look on his face.

He muttered: "Hao'er is 11 years old now, and the weak crown is 20 years old. There is still a nine-year-old difference between them... By that time, I will have soaked goji berries in the thermos. What else do I want to do?" .”

Although Chu Huang didn't understand the meaning of soaking goji berries in the thermos, he could hear the deep resistance in Fang Xiu's words.

So, he opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him again.

But Fang Xiu waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, please stop persuading me about this matter. I will help you to see it for two or three years at most. According to my judgment, at that time, Prince Hao must be able to take charge of it alone. If he is not alone, he is not worthy of being a disciple of a minister..."

These words were very arrogant, and the Emperor Chu didn't know what to say for a while, but he heard Fang Xiu continue: "Of course, there is another way, that is, you continue to live, Your Majesty, and look at Prince Hao until After he attains the crown, it will not be too late to meet the ancestors."

If Yan Zhuang and the others were here, they would definitely point at Fang Xiu and yell at Fang Xiu when they heard this.

"You little thief, you dare to curse your Majesty to die, you...you are a rebellious person!"

But Emperor Chu didn't take it seriously at all, just shook his head and sighed: "This poisonous Gu has become more and more powerful recently, I know it, it's only a few days away."

Fang Xiudao: "Your Majesty's attitude is wrong. I remember that His Majesty taught me that everything must be persevered until the end, and you must never give up. There is another village, and there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain. It is not until the last moment." , never know what happened.

Even if they are pushed to a high ground by the opponent, it is possible to collectively disconnect from the Internet, right? "

There are also some inexplicable words that people can't understand.

Emperor Chu was used to it, his brows were slightly frowned, and he asked doubtfully, "Did I ever say such a thing?"

Fang Xiu nodded with a serious face, and said, "I heard it with my own ears. Your Majesty must have said it."

"Even if I said it, there are exceptions to everything..."

Fang Xiu didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, he stood up directly and said: "With this minister, there is no exception!"

Chapter 81 Return to Tai Hospital

This confident look is the same as it was two years ago.

When Emperor Chu saw it, he didn't know what to say for a while.

But Fang Xiu stood up, looked at Emperor Chu, and said: "Your Majesty, I have to go back and think carefully about how to do this method of opening the skull. I will take my leave first..."

After speaking, he turned and left here.

Chu Huang looked at his back with mixed feelings, Wan Qian's words finally turned into a leisurely sigh.

"Hey......"

............

Fang Xiu walked out of the palace, rested for a day, and then came to the Imperial Hospital again.

He has been to this place more than once.

But it was a long time ago, and it seemed that it was because of the Seventh Prince of the Begging Yan Department.

Now time flies, the Seventh Prince of the Begging Yan Department has already become history, and even the entire Begging Yan Department has become a dao of Da Chu.

The Khan of the Qiyan Department, who was once invincible, has now become the Duke of Qiyan.

When I was young, I had time to think about it, if I didn't have myself, I don't know when the begging tribe would decline so quickly to where it is today.

Fang Xiu was walking on the way to Tai Hospital.

There are many patrolling pro-military guards and some eunuchs.

When they saw Fang Xiu, they saluted hurriedly.

"Meet An Guogong!"

"Meet An Guogong!"

Fang Xiu nodded and responded one by one.

It is no exaggeration to say that most of the guards in the palace are from Fang Xiu.

It goes without saying that Fang Xiu is a distinguished man, after all, he is in the same group as these pro-military, not to mention that Fang Xiu had been a pro-military general for a period of time.
