The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 1080

[Chapter 1080 Tuogu]

After hearing this, Emperor Chu did not get angry. Instead, he laughed dumbly, shook his head and said, “You are quite free and easy.”

Fang Xiu looked at Emperor Chu, sighed helplessly, and said, “Actually, you are not as free and easy as before. There are more bonds invisibly, but fortunately they are not a hindrance.”

Emperor Chu also sighed and said leisurely: “If there were no bonds, this world would be very boring.” He

paused and asked again. He said: “Then why do you want to go to Nanyang for your business? You are not short of money.”

Emperor Chu asked these questions not because of the country, the court, or any other reasons, but just A very simple point, curiosity.

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

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

He had not experienced this method for a long time.

When did it start?

It seemed that from the moment he stepped onto the threshold of the East Palace, he no longer had any friends.

“Do you believe that I am doing it for the people of the world?”

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Going to Nanyang, what does it have to do with the people of the world?

It was nothing more than earning more money from the natives in Nanyang.

Although Emperor Chu stayed in the palace, he was relatively familiar with things outside.

We know that cloth, glass and other items from Nanyang are expensive, but rubber, spices and other items are very cheap.

The cloth, which was very cheap in Dachu, was transported to Nanyang by ship, and then sold, and then exchanged for valuable rubber, and then sold to Dachu. This way, he did not pay a big price, but he could make a lot of money. Little money.

Emperor Chu knew all this.

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

Emperor Chu only thought that Fang Xiu was watching a joke, and he smiled and said, “I have always known that you like to tell the truth in front of me.”

This was irony.

Many of the things Fang Xiu did before were clearly for his own personal gain, but they seemed to be for the imperial court.

Although he rarely does these things now, it impressed Emperor Chu very deeply.

After hearing this, Fang Xiu smiled and said: “Your Majesty is really sharp-eyed, and he can see through my true intention at a glance. In fact, I am not doing it for the people of this world, but for the people of our great Chu.

On the surface, your majesty thinks this money is It flows into the pocket of the minister, but in fact it is not the case. Every penny earned from Nanyang, whether it is the minister, the Baolefang, the British Duke, other nobles, or even other Every cent of money earned by the merchants from Nanyang has actually gone into the hands of the people of Da Chu.

I know that it must be difficult for Your Majesty to understand what I say, but it doesn’t matter, Your Majesty doesn’t need to understand. .”

At this point, he stopped abruptly and said no more.

Emperor Chu was wondering why this was happening, but he saw that Fang Xiu looked idle and didn’t say a word, feeling helpless again.

After thinking about it, it’s true, I am 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?

He is a king, not the Minister of the Ministry of Finance

, so he sighed and said: “This world is still for young people after all. Many of the things you said are inconceivable in my eyes today, such as This Nanyang silver, that’s it, that’s all, let’s not talk about it.”

Youyou sighed, raised his eyes to look at Fang Xiu, his expression gradually became serious, 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 he had met Emperor Chu for the first time two years ago, and replied: “I don’t know.”

Emperor Chu did not mince words anymore, but said very straightforwardly: “One. I came here to have a heart-to-heart talk with you, and we have already had a heart-to-heart talk with you. I tell you the truth, I have never had anyone in this world with whom I can talk to. You are barely half of me, and those few minutes ago were a rare one. The second and most important thing is that after Hao’er ascends the throne, there will definitely be some troubles.

Anything

can happen. Even the one I trust most may not be the same as before.

I’m not old enough to be on my own, and I don’t have anyone in my harem who can listen to the affairs behind the scenes. I can only count on the three elders to do their best and not forget my instructions to them, but this accident can happen at any time.

So. I hope you can do me a favor and wait until Hao’er is old enough to do your thing. This will be the reward for my tolerance for you in the past two years. How about it?”

Fang Xiu listened and looked at Chu. The emperor glanced at him with a thoughtful look on his face.

He murmured: “Hao’er is eleven years old now, and Wuguan is twenty years old. There is still nine years left in between. By that time, I will have soaked wolfberries in a thermos cup. Is there anything else I want to do?”

Emperor Chu Although he didn’t understand what soaking wolfberries in a thermos cup meant, he could hear the deep resistance in what Fang Xiu said.

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

But Fang Xiu waved his hand and said: “Your Majesty, please stop trying to persuade me on this matter. I will help you look after it for two or three years at most. Based on my judgment, Prince Hao must be able to take charge of his own affairs by then. If he is not responsible for his role alone, he would not be worthy of being my disciple.”

These words were so arrogant that Emperor Chu didn’t know what to say for a moment, but he heard Fang Xiu continue: “Of course, there is another way, that is, Your Majesty, you continue to live and watch Prince Hao by yourself until It won’t be too late for him to go see his ancestors after he gets crowned. “

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

“You little thief, you dare to curse your majesty to death. You are so treasonous!”

Emperor Chu didn’t take it to heart at all. He just shook his head and sighed: “This poisonous poison has become more and more powerful recently. I know it. There are only a few days left.”

Fang Xiu said: “Your Majesty’s attitude is wrong. I remember that your Majesty was a teacher in those days. You must persevere in everything until the end. You must never give up. There will be a bright future in the village, and you will have to drive to the front of the mountain. There is a way, and you will never know what happened until the last moment.

Even if you are pushed to the high ground by the other party, it is possible that the network will be disconnected, right?”

Another inexplicable words that are incomprehensible.

Emperor Chu was used to it. He frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, “Have I ever said such a thing?”

Fang Xiu looked serious, nodded and said, “I heard it with my own ears. Your Majesty must have said it.”

“Even if I have said it before, there are exceptions to everything.”

Fang Xiu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him anymore. He stood up directly and said, “I have no exceptions here!”
