The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 1188

[Chapter 1188 Guozhu (finale)]

“Reporter?”

He Wenlin was a little confused.

Reporters, he naturally knew, were just a group of literati raised by Zhuxuan Zhai.

However, how can I get involved with reporters?

At this time, the wonton stall owner said: “If you are not a reporter, why are you asking so much?”

After a pause, he said again: “If you have to ask me about building a new city, then I can only tell you, I wish I could do this. If the new city is built sooner! In this way, Kyoto Prefecture will be able to attract more people, and my business here will be better.

Moreover, my son can also open a wonton stall in the new city, and the two together. , life will always be better than now.”

“.” He Wenlin was still speechless.

He didn’t expect that the final answer was completely different from what he wanted.

So, he stopped eating the wontons, stood up and left.

When the wonton stall owner saw this scene, he hurriedly said: “Sir, your wontons!”

He Wenlin just walked forward without looking back at all.

Along the way, I stopped and asked, but no one objected to the construction of the new city.

At first, he thought that these people were afraid of An Guogong’s power, but as time went by, he finally realized that he was wrong, and how wrong he was.

These people sincerely wanted the new city to be built, for many reasons.

But the reason for most people is that

“since it is Duke An Guo who wants to build a new city, there must be no problem!”

In the eyes of the entire Kyoto Prefecture, and even the people of Dachu, what Duke An Guo did must be right!

Because countless facts have proven that this is indeed the case.

So

He Wenlin gave up.

He stood in the sun and thought for a long time, but in the end he could not find a way to fight An Guogong.

He even began to doubt why he wanted to fight against An Guogong.

What is the purpose of doing this?

Just for your own reputation?

When I first entered the Inspectorate, wasn’t it just to make the people’s lives better?

Now, because of the existence of An Guogong, the entire Great Chu Sea and Yanhe River are clear. What else can I ask for?

He sighed and looked towards the south of the city. His helplessness turned into a sigh: Maybe I am really wrong.

South of the city, Fang Mansion.

Fang Xiu was lying on the deck chair, basking in the sun.

Although it is still winter, it is already the end of winter and spring is coming soon.

The construction of the new city is on track.

Although the problem of the exchange has not been completely solved, it has been resolved quietly.

It was rare for him to be leisurely.

However, it is obvious that in this position, the leisure time cannot be too long.

Soon, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard.

“Master.”

A boy came over and said, “This is the letter sent to you by Manager Bai.”

Bai Xiaochun’s letter?

Fang Xiu was slightly startled.

Seemingly thinking of something, he nodded and said, “Bring it over.”

“Yes, young master.”

The boy handed the letter to Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu reached out and took it, browsing it carefully from top to bottom.

The content of the letter is very simple, not much different from the past.

First, I reported that I was safe.

Then, he talked about a lot of things he has done recently.

The first is that the preparation of the new army is on the right track.

The first time he fought with the group of barbarians from the west, he defeated them and recaptured most of Nanyang.

The new army at Jinzhou Port is now rushing to the southeast road. If nothing happens, it will take at most half a month to arrive.

Once the new troops there arrive, the rest will be simple.

It is impossible for those barbarians to defeat the new army no matter what.

These are business matters.

What follows are some unimportant things.

If it were a letter from someone else, even if it was a letter from Mr. Yanzhuang Yange, he would never read the nonsense that followed.

What’s the use of talking so much nonsense?

It makes no sense at all.

However, Bai Xiaochun was different.

It has been almost two years since Bai Xiaochun left Kyoto Prefecture in the blink of an eye.

Not to mention, after not seeing each other for two years, Fang Xiu really misses this piece of shit.

Fang Xiu read every letter from him very carefully and seriously.

The following content is as usual.

“Master, how have you been lately? Are you eating well? Are you sleeping well? The servants in the house can still make you feel comfortable. If they make you unhappy, you can beat or scold you, but never Don’t hurt yourself.

Recently, because of the incident with the Hu people, I haven’t had much rest. After the new army arrived, I finally got some free time and went out for a walk. I accidentally discovered an island on

this island .

The indigenous people are very hospitable and have some fruits that I have never seen before. There is a beach nearby. This beach has never been seen before.

The water is blue and crystal clear. You can see the fish and shrimp in the sea at a glance.

The younger one was thinking that it would be great if the young master were here. The young master’s barbecue skills are unparalleled in the world.

If

the young master were here, he would definitely be able to make these fish and shrimps more delicious. The younger one couldn’t. This ability.

However, this island is very close to the Southeast Road, and all the barbarians nearby have been expelled.

If the young master wants to come, I will go to greet you.

Finally, I haven’t seen you in two years. Compared with before, he has lost a lot of weight. If we meet again, the young master may not be able to recognize him, haha.”

After Fang Xiu looked at it, he shook his head and said with a smile: “This piece of shit.”

After he finished scolding .

, and carefully collected the letter.

Fang Xiu kept every letter from Bai Xiaochun like this, and not a single one was left behind.

Xiaodao didn’t know what it was like.

Fang Xiu had a thoughtful expression on his face. After thinking about it for a while, he finally felt free now. It didn’t seem like a big deal to go out for a walk, right?

The four northern states now have no threat due to the existence of Qiyan Gong.

On the southwest road, there are three important generals guarding it, and there is also a part of the Shenji Battalion there, but they can’t make any waves.

The biggest problem is exchanges and barbarians.

Needless to say, the construction of the new city has relieved the pressure on the exchange.

Nowadays, dividends in the exchange have gradually stabilized, and it should not take long for them to return to normal.

As for the Hu people, Bai Xiaochun also said it just now. They have recently won a great victory. They only need to wait for the arrival of the new army at Jinzhou Port to defeat the Hu people in one fell swoop!

At the palace.

Emperor, Fang Xiu just met yesterday and he looks good!

According to Bianchi, it can take up to three days to go to court.

I have to say that this old emperor’s life is really tough.

After such a major surgery, it only took me a month to recover and I was able to move around again.

Zhao Hao, he has been busy studying recently.

After all, His Royal Highness is different from before.

In the past, you could study at Fangxiu Academy of Arts and Sciences, but now you have to be taught by a few college teachers.

Occasionally I sneak out to Fang Xiu’s house to have a meal, but other than that, there’s not much else.

After thinking about it, Fang Xiu felt that there seemed to be nothing worth staying in Kyoto Prefecture.

In the past, he would have had a serious problem in his heart. In fact, it couldn’t be called a serious problem in his heart, it was just a grudge.

It’s King Ning.

Prince Ning’s whereabouts have always been unknown, and Fang Xiu has never forgotten him.

However, now, Prince Ning has been found and is being held in the sky prison.

If nothing happens, he may be locked up in a prison for the rest of his life.

Therefore, there is really nothing to worry about.

Otherwise, just take a quick trip?

Fang Xiu thought so.

Suddenly there was a sound outside.

“Brother! Brother! I passed the exam! I passed the exam!”

Immediately afterwards, I saw a figure jumping in.

Yes, it was Fang Ru.

For the past year, Fang Ru, who was still a half-grown child, had been studying hard, thinking that she would eventually be able to enter the Kyoto Prefectural Government and become a police officer.

Other than that, I just practice martial arts hard.

On weekdays, in addition to eating, you can see her during festivals.

At other times, it is rare to see her.

But she didn’t expect that she actually succeeded.

Because of the new imperial examination, the agents of the Kyoto Prefectural Government also had to pass an examination to select them.

It’s just that the content of the exam is related to the police. First of all, it is the law of Dachu. You must be familiar with the law of Dachu, and then it is martial arts. Martial arts must be proven.

Fang Ru can do all of these.

Therefore, it was expected that she could become a detective.

Fang Xiu didn’t show much surprise.

Just nodded: “I know.”

When Fang Ru heard this, she became unhappy, put her hands on her hips and said, “That’s it?”

Fang Xiu looked at her: “That’s it.”

Then he waved his hand and said, “I know you passed the exam. I’ll give you a big banquet in a few days to celebrate?” Fang Ru curled her lips and

said

, “That’s not necessary.”

After a pause, he said again: “But what about the reward you originally promised me!”

Fang Xiu looked dazed when he heard this.

After a while, I remembered.

He indeed promised her that he would give her a reward.

It is a sword of meteorite iron, cutting iron like clay.

So, he looked at the young man next to him and said, “Where is the sword?”

The young man said, “If I tell you, Master, I’ll keep it at home.”

“Give it to her.”

“Yes, Master.”

The young man saluted .

, a moment later he took out a sword and handed it to Fang Ru: “Miss, this is the sword you valued last time.”

When Fang Ru saw the sword, her eyes gleamed, she thought about nothing and said nothing. , picked up the sword and held it in his arms.

After a while, he still stood there and did not leave.

Fang Xiu raised his eyes to look at her and asked, “Is something wrong?”

Fang Ru’s pretty face turned red and she seemed hesitant to speak. After a long time, she finally plucked up the courage to say, “Thank you, brother!”

After saying that, she didn’t look back. ran away.

When Fang Xiu heard this, he was slightly startled. After a moment, he smiled dumbly: “This girl.”

In the next few days, Fang Ru went to the Yamen of Kyoto Prefecture and followed Xia Yixue.

For several days in a row, Xia Yixue came to her door because she got into trouble.

Fang Xiu was speechless every time, but he was helpless.

After experiencing a lot of things, many people have changed, but the few people around Fang Xiu are still the same as before.

Seeing them, Fang Xiu can remember the time when he first met them.

For example, at this moment, when Fang Xiu saw Xia Yixue with a cold face, he could always think of the first time they met.

In Zuihua Pavilion.

Xia Yixue also had the same expression.

“Boss Xia, even if you come to me, I can’t do anything. If it doesn’t work, just fire her away, so that she can cause less trouble.”

Xia Yixue said coldly: “That’s how you are .

“Brother?”

“.”

Fang Xiu was speechless for a moment.

Xia Yixue said again: “It’s just this once, it won’t happen next time.”

“.” Fang Xiu was still speechless.

Xia Yixue glanced at him and turned to leave without saying anything else.

But before leaving, he turned to look at Fang Xiu again and said leisurely: “My father asked you to go to my house tomorrow. He has something to discuss with you.”

“…” Fang Xiu was still speechless.

Xia Yixue turned around and left.

As soon as Xia Yixue left, Zhao Yan came again.

“Fang Xiu! Where is the person!”

Before the person arrived, the voice had already passed through.

After seeing Fang Xiu, he said loudly: “Did Father ever say that to you!?”

“.”

Fang Xiu was still speechless.

He was a little confused, paused, and then he came to his senses and asked: “Which sentence?”

The old emperor had said a lot to him. If he could remember every sentence, how could it be okay?

Zhao Yan stared at Fang Xiu and said loudly: “What other words could it be? That’s the sentence!”

“…” Fang Xiu also became angry and said angrily: “What can’t be said better? Where is it?” In other words, can you stop playing riddles with me?”

Zhao Yan’s eyes turned red when she saw Fang Xiu getting angry.

His eyes were full of tears: “You are cruel to me!”

“.” Fang Xiu looked helpless, what happened to Zhao Yan today?

I’ve never seen her look like this before!

After thinking about it, she comforted her: “Okay, okay, it’s my fault.”

“Perfunctory!” Zhao Yan’s eyes widened again, and she became the little tiger again.

“I” Fang Xiu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but suddenly thought of something and said, “Is what you want to ask about the consort?”

Zhao Yan did not reply and just remained silent.

But her pretty red face betrayed him.

“What on earth do you think?”

After a long time, Zhao Yan finally plucked up the courage and asked.

Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yan with a thoughtful expression on his face. After a moment, he said, “Don’t you have another year before it’s time to pray for the Queen Mother?”

There was no direct answer, but he had already given the answer.

After Zhao Yan heard this, her red eyes suddenly smiled.

Looking at Fang Xiu, there was a smile on his face.

After laughing, he felt a little inappropriate, and pretended to be angry, saying: “The answer is wrong!”

He snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Fang Xiu looked at her back and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

A day flies by quickly.

Fang Xiu got up as usual.

Xiuer had been waiting outside early.

“Master, you are going to the British government’s residence today, don’t forget.”

Xiu’er was as considerate as ever.

In this cold winter, she is the only one who can bring some warmth.

Fang Xiu reached out and pinched her little face, and sighed: “If I didn’t have you, I really don’t know what I would do.”

When Xiu’er heard this, her pretty face turned red and she lowered her head. , said in a low voice: “Young master is not serious again.”

Fang Xiu laughed twice and said: “I will come back for hot pot tonight, and I will bring you the sweet-scented osmanthus cake you like to eat.”

Xiuer’s eyebrows were filled with joy, and she lightly He nodded lightly and said nothing.

Fang Xiu tidied his clothes and left An Guo Gong’s Mansion.

As soon as he stepped out of the mansion, he saw a familiar figure.

It’s Lin Wanqing and Zhu’er.

“Master Fang”

Lin Wanqing stood there, looking at Fang Xiu, but hesitated to speak.

Zhu’er next to her looked at her young lady, then at Fang Xiu, with a look of hatred on her face, and said loudly: “Mr. Fang, my young lady has something to say to you!”

Lin Wanqing got angry when she heard this. He glanced at Pearl.

Then, he took a deep breath and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

However, no words have been spoken yet.

But a sharp voice suddenly came from the side.

“My lord, congratulations!”

The three of them turned around and saw a man wearing eunuch clothes standing not far away, holding an imperial edict in his hand.

It was Zhang Wen, the eunuch named Bingbi, the eunuch of the Bureau of Ceremonies.

“What are you doing here?”

Fang Xiu glanced at him and asked.

Zhang Wen quickly walked up to Fang Xiu and said loudly: “Of course I am here to announce the good news to the Duke!”

Fang Xiu looked at him, a little confused, and asked: “Why do I feel so happy?”

Zhang Wendao said : “This joy is naturally in His Majesty’s imperial edict.”

After the words fell, he immediately opened the imperial edict and read it word by word.

“In accordance with the destiny of heaven, the emperor issued an edict:

To seek governance, the officials who are close to the people must adhere to the principles of morality, teach loyalty and encourage talents, respect the people with enthusiasm, and praise the emperor. The Duke of An has rested, and the industry can be opened first. This is the foundation of Xuan You. After Zekanqi, Fangzi, who wanted to be in charge of the government, named Qin En the “national pillar”! ”

There is not much content, because Zhang Wen omitted part of the list of achievements.

This feat takes up a whole page, and more.

From the initial suppression of the rebellion on the Southwest Road, to the surrender of the Qiyan tribe, and the capture of Nanyang, Hongshu, Didingheyi, etc.

The rest can be translated into one sentence: Fang Xiu’s contribution is unprecedented and unprecedented, so he canonized him as the “National Pillar”!

The pillar of the country and the great Chu!

It’s an honor!

An honor that is truly unprecedented and unprecedented!

From then on, this great Chu country not only had an emperor but also a national pillar like Fang Xiu!

Fang Xiu stood there, a little confused when he heard the news.

No matter what, he couldn’t figure it out.

He obviously just wants to be a prodigal son who lives in poverty.

How come he was so prodigal that he became the pillar of the state of Chu?

Hey.

Sure enough, excellent people are so excellent no matter what they do.

It’s really annoying.

Fang Xiu looked up at the sky at a 45° angle, and felt inexplicably: How lonely it is to be invincible.

This is the end of Fang Xiu’s story. I sincerely thank all readers for accompanying me so far.

Tomorrow is a new year. I wish you all good health every year for the rest of your life.

Finally,

thank you!
