The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 223

[Chapter 223 Recruitment]

This voice was so powerful that Fang Xiu was startled. He turned around subconsciously and saw Ma Wenhua, the Minister of War, standing behind him with a smile on his face.

“Boy”

Ma Wenhua reached out and patted Fang Xiu on the shoulder and said with a smile: “I haven’t seen you for a few years. You are much better than when you were a child. Tell Shibo how you figured out the powerful relationship of the marriage in front of His Majesty just now. ?”

The expression on Fang Xiu’s face did not change, but he began to complain crazily in his heart.

This shameless old guy always calls himself Shibo whenever he comes up.

Although he had some friendship with his cheap dad when he was young, he didn’t have much contact in so many years, so how could he be related to him.

“Master Shangshu is just laughing. This junior just said some of his own opinions casually. There is nothing worth saying.”

Fang Xiu looked at Ma Wenhua, smiled and said.

When Ma Wenhua heard this, his face suddenly became a little unhappy. He stretched out his hand, patted Fang Xiu hard on the shoulder, and said loudly: “Master Shangshu, my name is Shibo.

Your boy usually bullies men and women on the roadside. Why didn’t I see you so polite? If I hadn’t known what you were like, I would have been deceived by you!”

Fang Xiu’s face turned dark when he heard this.

What does it mean to bully a man and a woman on the roadside? I am a good boy bathing in the spring breeze. How come I turned into a gangster and a scoundrel in this guy’s mouth?

“Shibo, you have to speak responsibly. Don’t insult others’ innocence for no reason. When the time comes, no woman in the capital will be willing to marry me. You have to be responsible.”

Fang Xiu said angrily.

When Ma Wenhua heard this, he grinned and said: “You boy is still innocent. Last time I was walking on the road south of the capital city, a child next to me shouted, Mr. Fang is here. The whole street, men, women, old and young, was alone. If there is no one left, they are all hiding.

If you still have innocence and reputation, the sows can climb up trees!”

Fang Xiu was speechless when he heard this.

What does this old guy want to do?

Out of nowhere, did you come here to provoke me?

Fang Xiu raised his eyes, looked at Ma Wenhua, curled his lips, and asked: “Shibo, if you have anything to do, just tell me directly. This junior still has very important things to go back to the house to deal with.”

Ma Wenhua asked with a look of surprise on his face .

He said: “If there is anything important, tell me about it.”

In the past, I wouldn’t have told him anything important.

He will definitely not take it lightly. He only thinks about those few things, strolling around the land of smoke and willows, and going to the streets to bully good girls.

Or, just make an appointment with two friends and go to Chunfeng Tower for a drink.

What serious things can this ignorant, ignorant boy do?

But after this series of events, especially today’s interview in front of the palace.

He has already changed a lot about Fang Xiu.

How could an ignorant playboy win first place in the pro-military review for the first time? How could he lead a guard that was not top-notch to the first place in the competition.

How could he be so witty at the Honglu Temple banquet and severely dampen the spirit of the grassland people?

The most important thing is that the dandy can analyze the pros and cons of marriage in such a short period of time, with meticulous logic and no flaws. ?

If such a person could be considered a dandy, he only hoped that there would be more dandies in the capital.

Fang Xiu looked at Ma Wenhua and found that his expression didn’t seem to be fake, as if he really cared about him. After thinking about it, he couldn’t bear to deceive him, so he had to answer truthfully: “Eat.”

“What?”

Ma Wenhua heard this and smiled slightly. He was startled, as if he heard wrongly.

But the next second, when he saw Fang Xiu’s expression, he didn’t seem to be joking, and his face suddenly turned dark.

So the most important thing you kid said was to go back for dinner?

When Fang Xiu saw Ma Wenhua looking like he was about to hit someone, he subconsciously took a step back and hurriedly defended himself: “As the saying goes, people are like iron rice and steel. If you don’t eat for one meal, you will be hungry.

Eating is… It’s something that a person must do. Even a wise and powerful person like Shi Bo can’t help but eat, right?

So the junior thinks that eating is of course important.”

Ma Wenhua felt much relieved when he heard this.

Although he knew that this guy was quibbling, he didn’t say much.

As for the saying he said that he had never heard before,

this guy could always come up with some novel things in his mind that others had never thought of, or say some novel words that others had never heard before, so it was not surprising.

“Stop talking nonsense.”

Ma Wenhua stretched out his hand, patted Fang Xiu on the shoulder, and asked: “Boy, are you interested in doing an errand in Shibo’s military department?”

Fang Xiu was slightly startled, with surprise on his face. With a look on his face, he subconsciously murmured: “The Ministry of War?”

He thought about countless possibilities, but he did not think of this.

This guy said so much, it turned out that he wanted to make me stand with him.

Fang Xiu was the Zuo Zhonglang general of the Youyu Lin Guard. Although he was nominally under the management of the Ministry of War, he actually had little to do with it.

To a large extent, the Minister of War does not have the power to order pro-military generals.

Of course, the transfer of Chu soldiers, the appointment and promotion of generals all need to be approved by the Ministry of War.

Therefore, the Ministry of War still has certain powers over pro-military forces.

Fang Xiu thought for a while and replied: “I, Zuo Zhonglang, was appointed by your Majesty. If your Majesty asks me to go to the Ministry of War, I will naturally go to the Ministry of War.

If your Majesty asks me to stay in the People’s Liberation Army, I will naturally stay in the People’s Liberation Army.” Shibo shouldn’t understand this, right?”

Ma Wenhua smiled when he heard this. He had obviously thought about what Fang Xiu would say in advance and replied: “If you are willing to come to the Ministry of War, I will write to His Majesty. , Since Your Majesty came to the throne, I have fulfilled my duties and served Your Majesty well. Your Majesty will still give me this face.”

A look of surprise appeared on Fang Xiu’s face.

So, does this guy really want to win him over from being a pro-military member to the Ministry of War?

For this reason, I was actually willing to write to His Majesty.

You know, generally speaking, the appointment of ministers of the State of Chu is made by His Majesty.

Moreover, at a specific time, few people would write to His Majesty on weekdays, requesting a transfer of positions.

There are two reasons for doing this. One is that I don’t want to trouble His Majesty and cause His Majesty trouble.

The second is to prevent His Majesty from being suspicious.

After all, the most taboo thing for a king is to form cliques and private interests to strengthen himself.

Of course, Ma Wenhua, Minister of War, obviously did not have much concern about this.

Because unlike the previous ministers of the Ministry of War, he was born as a martial artist and did not have many friends in the court. There was nothing suspicious about asking Your Majesty for a lieutenant general.

It’s just that

I was living a good life in the pro-military army, so why did I have to go to the Ministry of War to do hard work?
