The happy life of a prodigal

After a while, Emperor Chu walked out of the palace, and when he returned to the Nuan Pavilion, he looked back at Liu Cheng and asked, "Fang Xiu, what are you doing recently?"

Since the last time he asked about policy in front of the hall, His Majesty has paid special attention to Uncle Anping, and from time to time, he would ask him a question.

Therefore, Liu Cheng is also very concerned about his whereabouts.

Upon hearing His Majesty's question, he immediately replied: "General Fang Zhonglang, it seems that he opened a bookstore a few days ago called Zhuxuanzhai."

Chapter 57 The disease of being unable to be an official

"Bookstore?"

Emperor Chu looked strange.

I heard that this kid is ignorant, I'm afraid he hasn't read a few books in full, how can he open a bookshop?

Isn't it the same way as selling wine, relying on Anping Bo's mansion to rob business and fill his own pockets?

Thinking of this, Emperor Chu's face darkened, and after a long time, he sighed in relief.

The exchange of tea and horses and the return of the land to the local people are the strategies of stabilizing the country. Contributing to this strategy is a great contribution in itself, and these things are nothing compared to it.

That's all, since he wants to make a fuss, let him do it.

After he earns the value, he can restrain himself and keep his duties, I... will feel at ease.

Standing behind Emperor Chu, Liu Cheng suddenly said, "Your Majesty, Fang Zhonglang sent someone to bring a jug of fine wine just now."

"Oh, where?"

Chu Huang was slightly taken aback and asked.

Liu Cheng took out a jug of wine from his cuff and offered it with both hands.

Chu Huang only glanced at it, then said: "Drink some wine."

Liu Cheng unsealed the wine in a hurry.

Immediately, a strong aroma of wine spread over the surface.

Clear and transparent, strong and full-bodied.

Emperor Chu's eyes lit up first, then he seemed to think of something, his expression changed, and he said in surprise: "This wine is very similar to the fine wine presented by Yan'er."

Liu Cheng was silent.

In fact, when he tested the wine just now, he found that the taste of this wine was exactly the same as the wine sent by His Highness the Princess a few days ago.

Combined with the previous deeds of Her Royal Highness when she left the palace, it is almost certain that this wine is the wine that was praised by His Majesty as a fine wine!

Chu Huang picked up the wine glass, took a sip, a look of surprise appeared on his old face, and murmured: "The taste is so similar..."

Slightly dazed, Emperor Chu immediately came to his senses, smiled, and said: "This wine is fine nectar, ten taels of silver for a cup, it is indeed not expensive, that boy Fang Xiu did not lie to me."

Emperor Chu was happy, not only because he could often drink such fine wine in the future, but also because Fang Xiu was able to clear himself up.

Morality is a quality that he values ​​very much.

Those who have virtue but no talent can still use it reluctantly, and those who have talent but no virtue, unless it is Wang Zuozhi's great talent, the emperor of Chu will dismiss him.

Although this incident does not prove that Fang Xiu is a virtuous person.

But at the very least it proved that this son...is not as unbearable as the rumors in the market.

Thinking that Da Chu Jiangshan will have another talented person in the future, and he will be the queen of honor who has always been loyal.

Emperor Chu was in a good mood, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and couldn't help but praise repeatedly: "Very good, very good, hahaha!"

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

Different from Emperor Chu's good mood, Fang Xiu's expression was gloomy in Uncle Anping's mansion.

Tomorrow is the day when I enter the palace on duty.

Going to work, not happy...

In the previous life, after the holidays, the students who went to school usually suffered from a kind of sickness, usually insomnia, lethargy, dizziness, nausea, abdominal pain, etc...

Psychologists call it "school start syndrome", also known as "school start phobia".

Fang Xiu felt that he was suffering from such a disease, "official syndrome", or "official phobia".

All in all, you can't be an official, let alone be on duty in the palace, otherwise you will suffer from dizziness, nausea, and abdominal pain.

Another day, I have a chance to talk to the emperor and say that I am a sick person, not only with brain disease, but also a phobia of being an official, so let him remove himself as the general of Zhonglang and send someone else.

It's just... Although Emperor Chu is kind, he is not a fool. Does this make him suspicious?

Fang Xiu sat on the stone bench in the yard, drinking alone, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

As the saying goes: wine is strong and courageous.

Although Fang Xiu is not a coward, he is indeed a bit more courageous.

After three glasses of wine, a decision was made.

face saint!

I want to tell the emperor that I am sick and cannot be an official!

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

Hall of Mental Cultivation, Nuan Pavilion.

Chu Huang looked at Fang Xiu in front of him, calmly asked, "What's the matter?"

Fang Xiu stood upright, saluted the Emperor Chu in an upright manner, and then said: "I beg Your Majesty to take back your will."

will?

Emperor Chu was startled for a moment, and then a look of anger appeared on his face.

A word from a gentleman is hard to follow, not to mention that I am the Son of Heaven, and since the will has been sent out, how can I take it back and how can I take it back.

Even if you take it back, it's not like you, a kid who hasn't reached the crown, complained a few words in front of the palace, and took it back when you said it!

What's more, why don't I remember what order I gave you?

Seeing that Emperor Chu's expression was wrong, Fang Xiu knew that he had said something wrong, and wanted to correct it, but then he thought about it.

Lao Tzu suffers from a brain disease, abnormal is normal, if he is like an ordinary person, how can he show that he is sick?

So, he continued: "Your Majesty has favored me, and I am grateful for the title of General Zhonglang.

But... I have been suffering from a chronic illness since I was a child. Whenever I think about being an official, I will be bedridden and have a serious illness.

I thought that after growing up, it would be relieved a little, but I didn't expect that a few days ago, after the minister received the decree, I felt dizzy and abdominal pain, and I could hardly get up from the bed.

The minister was really helpless, so he entered the palace to face the saint, and begged His Majesty to take back his order. "

Seeing the sincerity of what he said, Emperor Chu was slightly taken aback, what kind of stubborn disease is this?

In this world, is there still a disease of "not being an official"?

Emperor Chu naturally didn't know what "late stage lazy cancer" was.

In the whole world, no matter whether civil or military officials or concubines in the harem, no one has ever talked nonsense to him in such a serious manner.

I still wonder in my heart, is this really a strange disease that I have never heard of?

"Is it because you can't be an official?"

Emperor Chu's angry expression had dissipated, replaced by a strange look, as if he was lost in thought.

As for Liu Cheng, the great eunuch standing beside him, his complexion began to turn dark.

Uncle Anping obviously didn't want to be on duty in the palace, so he made up such a "stubborn illness of not being able to be an official" to prevaricate His Majesty.

And His Majesty, you are still dubious!

This......

If His Majesty hadn't been present at this moment, even though this son is a noble son, he would have been unable to bear to expose it long ago.

But...if I expose it at this moment, wouldn't it look like His Majesty's eyes are clumsy, so I had to hold back in my heart until my face turned red.

"That's all, since you are sick, you should take a good rest these days and enter the palace to be on duty, so don't worry."

After a while, Emperor Chu shook his head and said with a sigh.

This son suffers from brain disease, Liu Cheng once told me about it.

Moreover, the world is so big that there are many wonders. There was not a scholar named Fan Jin in the previous dynasty.

Thinking about it, the two diseases have the same origin and the same reason.

Perhaps after drinking too much, Emperor Chu was in a daze, subconsciously believing Fang Xiu's words.

Hearing what Emperor Chu said, Fang Xiu was slightly taken aback.

The emperor really believed this kind of nonsense?

At this moment, he couldn't help feeling a little bit of guilt welling up in his heart.

To deceive such a benevolent monarch is really uncomfortable...

Chapter 58 Encounter

After Fang Xiu left, Emperor Chu still had a look of surprise on his face, and said to himself: "The world is so big, there are no surprises, but there are still people in this world who cannot be an official."

Liu Cheng's face was flushed, he hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't hold back, he whispered: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought that Uncle Anping just didn't want to be on duty in the palace, that's why he made up this stubborn illness that can't be an official... ..."

Hearing this, Emperor Chu reacted immediately.

He who has always been in front of the Taishan collapse without changing his expression suddenly slammed the table and said angrily: "This kid, how dare you lie to me!"

The dignified son of heaven was so prevaricated by a boy who has not yet reached the crown.

The Emperor of Chu was so angry that he almost wanted to catch Fang Xiu back, hang him on the beam of the Nuan Pavilion, and hang him up to beat him.

In the anger, mixed with these emotions of hating iron but not steel.

General Habayashi Wei Zuo Zhonglang, if he didn't have military merits, many honorable children in the court would spend their entire lives, and they might not be able to achieve this position.

This son is only the first in the review, and I entrust him with a heavy responsibility. I thought he would be grateful and work hard in the army to repay himself.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to be like this...

It is simply not enterprising, willing to degenerate!

He took another sip of wine, his throat felt like a fire, which calmed him down a little.

Liu Cheng stood aside, trembling.

After being with His Majesty for decades, it was the first time he saw His Majesty so furious.

This time, Uncle Anping might be in danger...

Time passed minute by minute.

Liu Chengxin became more and more uneasy, and after a long time, he heard a voice in his ear: "Order the imperial doctor to go to Anping Bo's Mansion to treat Fang Xiu. If there is a serious illness, he will be diagnosed and treated. If not..."

Emperor Chu paused for a moment, and said, "Easy diagnosis and treatment is even more important!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Liu Cheng was surprised.

I thought it would be a violent storm, but I didn't expect it to be handled like this.

Order the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat?

It seems that His Majesty really loves Uncle Anping...

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

It's still early to come out of the palace.

After staying in the mansion for so many days, it was a little boring, so Fang Xiu gave Bai Xiaochun instructions and went to the south of the city by himself.

At noon, it was the busiest time in Chunfenglou, and countless alcoholics came here after smelling the smell of alcohol.

Although a factory building has been built in the suburbs and production has been increased, there is still a shortage of supply for getting drunk.

In less than half an hour, the Yizui Fangxiu that had just been delivered in Chunfeng Building was sold out again.
