The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 57

[Chapter 57 The disease that prevents you from serving as an official]

“Bookstore?”

Emperor Chu looked strange.

I heard that this kid is uneducated and has no skills. I am afraid he has not read a few books in full. How can he open a bookstore?

Could it be that they were using the same method as selling wine, using the Anping Prefecture to snatch business and line their own pockets?

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

The tea-horse exchange trade and the return of the land to the people were strategies to stabilize the country. Dedicating this strategy itself was a great achievement. Compared with these things, they were nothing.

That’s all, since he wants to make trouble, let him do it.

Once he becomes a member of the team and can restrain himself a bit and fulfill his duties, I will feel at ease.

Liu Cheng stood behind Emperor Chu and suddenly said, “Your Majesty, General Fang Zhonglang just sent someone to deliver a jug of fine wine.”

“Oh, where is it?”

Emperor Chu asked, slightly startled.

Liu Cheng took out a bottle of wine from his sleeves and presented it with both hands.

Emperor Chu only glanced at it and said, “Have a drink.”

Liu Cheng hurriedly opened the bottle of wine.

Immediately, a strong aroma of wine spread across the room.

Clear and transparent, strong and mellow.

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

Liu Cheng remained silent.

In fact, when he tested the wine just now, he discovered that the wine tasted exactly the same as the wine sent by Her Royal Highness the Princess a few days ago.

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

Emperor Chu picked up the wine glass and took a sip. A look of surprise appeared on his old face, and he murmured: “The taste is so similar.” After being

slightly stunned, Emperor Chu immediately reacted, smiled and said: “This wine is A glass of jade liquor costs ten taels of silver. It’s really not expensive. Fang Xiu didn’t lie to me.”

The Emperor of Chu was happy, not only because he could drink such fine wine frequently in the future, but also because Fang Xiu was able to purify himself.

Morality is a quality that he values extremely.

If someone has virtue but no talent, he can still use it reluctantly. If he has talent but no virtue, unless he is a great talent, the Emperor of Chu will look down upon him.

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

But at least it proves that this boy is not as bad as the rumors.

I thought that Da Chu would have another talented person in the future, and she would be an honorable queen who has always been loyal.

Emperor Chu was in a good mood. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He couldn’t help but praise repeatedly: “Very good, very good, hahaha!”

Unlike Emperor Chu’s good mood, Fang Xiu looked depressed in the Anping Mansion.

Tomorrow is the day when he will be on duty in the palace.

It’s time to go to work, unhappy

in previous lives, and after the holidays, students who go to school usually suffer from a kind of morbid manifestations, usually insomnia, drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, abdominal pain, etc.

Psychologists call it “back-to-school syndrome” “, also called “school phobia”.

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

All in all, you cannot be an official, let alone be on duty in the palace, otherwise you will feel dizzy, nauseous, and have abdominal pain.

Another day I have the opportunity to go to the emperor and tell him that he is a sick person. Not only does he have a brain disease, but he also has a phobia of being an official. Ask him to remove himself as the lieutenant general and send someone else.

It’s just that although Emperor Chu is kind, he is not a fool. Will saying this make him suspicious?

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

As the saying goes: Drinking makes people timid.

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

After three glasses of wine, I made my decision.

Face to face!

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

Yangxin Hall, Nuan Pavilion.

Emperor Chu looked at Fang Xiu in front of him, and asked calmly, “What’s the matter?”

Fang Xiu stood up straight, saluted the Emperor of Chu upright, and then said: “I sincerely ask your Majesty to take back the decree.”

The decree?

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

A gentleman’s words are hard to catch up with, not to mention that I am the emperor. Once the decree has been issued, how can it be withdrawn and how can it be withdrawn?

Even if you take it back, it’s not like you, a young boy who has not yet reached the crown, just complained in front of the palace and said he would take it back!

What’s more, why don’t I remember what decree I gave you?

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

I have a brain disease. Abnormality is normal. If I act like an ordinary person, how can I show that I am sick?

So, he continued: “Your Majesty has favored me, and I have made you the Zhonglang General. I am so grateful that I shed tears.

But Chen had been suffering from chronic illnesses since he was a child. Whenever he thought about being an official, he would become bedridden and become seriously ill.

I thought it would be relieved a little when I grew up, but I didn’t expect that a few days ago, after I received the order, I felt dizzy and had abdominal pain, and I couldn’t get up from bed.

I was really helpless, so I went to the palace to see the Holy One and begged Your Majesty to take back my order. “

Emperor Chu was slightly startled when he saw the sincerity of what he said. What kind of stubborn disease is this?

Is there any disease in this world that “cannot serve as an official”?

Emperor Chu naturally does not understand what “late stage of lazy cancer” is.

All this is No one in the world, no matter civil or military officials or concubines, had ever spoken nonsense to him in such a serious manner.

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

“Is it a disease that prevents me from being an official? “

Emperor Chu’s angry look has dissipated, replaced by a strange look, as if he was deep in thought.

As for the eunuch Liu Cheng who was standing next to him, his face began to darken.

Uncle Anping clearly didn’t want to When he was on duty in the palace, he just made up this “illness that prevents him from serving as an official” to excuse His Majesty.

But His Majesty, he still half believed it! If Your Majesty were not present at

this

moment, even if this son is a noble son, he would not be able to resist exposing it. But

if

I exposed it now, it would look stupid to His Majesty, so I had to hold it in my heart until my face turned red.

Don’t rush yet. “

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

This son suffers from a brain disease. Liu Cheng once told me.

Moreover, the world is so big and full of wonders. There was not a scholar named Fan Jin in the previous dynasty. After winning the exam, he became dazed, and later became even more crazy.

Thinking about it, the two diseases were caused by the same reason.

Perhaps after drinking too much, Emperor Chu was in a daze and subconsciously believed Fang Xiu’s words

. When the emperor said this, Fang Xiu was slightly startled. Did

the emperor really believe this nonsense?

At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel a little guilty

for deceiving such a kind king .
