The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 908
[Chapter 908: Conferring the title An Guogong]
the title of Duke An Guo The news that His Highness King Kang was assigned to Yangzhou Prefecture soon spread throughout the entire Kyoto Prefecture.
In the streets and alleys, from the princes and nobles to the common people, this matter was discussed.
Most people’s focus is on when the young prince will be canonized as prince.
What kind of news is going on in Xin’an Hou Mansion?
For so many years, the people of Kyoto Prefecture have known what kind of person His Royal Highness Prince Kang is.
There was no big feeling about King Kang’s departure.
There was no joy when Prince Ning left, nor was there the disappointment when Marquis Xin’an left Kyoto Prefecture.
At most, in the eyes of everyone, this matter is just a matter of conversation after dinner.
But for the civil and military officials, this incident was no less than a bolt from the blue!
They understand very well what it means for His Majesty and His Royal Highness Prince Kang to make this decision.
In other words, it is very likely that from now on, for decades, the court will fall into the control of Xin’anhou.
If the little prince ascends to the throne, the Marquis of Xin’an will become the emperor’s master!
Master of the Emperor!
This name alone can guarantee Xin’anhou’s status.
What they didn’t expect was that
news would come out of Xin’an Houfu the next day.
Xin’anhou was named An Guogong and became the fourth Duke of An.
From then on, Da Chu once again had four princes.
It’s just that the Duke of Wei and Duke of Guizhou were replaced by Duke Qiyan and Duke An.
At the same time the news broke.
Fang Xiu was still in the yard, worrying about what kind of hot pot to eat today.
Zhang Wen stood next to Fang Xiu, looking a little embarrassed.
“Master Hou,”
Fang Xiu raised his eyes, glanced at him, waved his hand, and said casually: “Just tell me if you have anything to do.”
After Zhang Wen heard this, he finally had a chance to speak, and said hurriedly: “Hou “Master, this servant is here to deliver the imperial edict.”
He was in a daze when he said this.
I still remember the first time he came to this Fang Mansion to deliver the imperial edict a few years ago.
Fang Xiu is still what everyone calls a playboy and a prodigal, nothing more.
Now that the imperial edict is being passed on, the former playboy and prodigal son has become the Duke of the country!
“Pass it on.”
Fang Xiu waved his hand.
Only then did Zhang Wen dare to take out the imperial edict and read it word by word: “The emperor’s edict was carried out by heaven, and he said that he would like to go to Zhe. The style is similar to it. Xin’an is waiting for him to rest. The body is prepared to be harmonious. He inherits the unique knowledge and the vitality is in harmony. The only way to achieve enlightenment is to restore the sage. A true Confucian for hundreds of generations
can be awarded the title of Duke Anguo, and the master will implement it.”
After hearing this, Fang Xiu looked at Zhang Wen and asked, “What do you mean?”
He was still thinking about eating just now .
What, I heard it, but I really didn’t understand it.
You seem to be praising yourself?
But it’s all nonsense.
I am handsome, self-sacrificing, caring for the world, humble and kind. These are all things that everyone in the world knows, so why do I need to say it?
Zhang Wen’s expression became a little strange when he heard this.
However, after thinking about it, when you reach the realm of Xin’an Hou, it is human nature not to care about these false names.
So, he explained: “Your Majesty means to confer you the title of Duke An Guo.”
An Guo Gong?
Fang Xiu was slightly startled when he heard these three words.
Looking at Zhang Wen, he asked in surprise: “Your Majesty, will you make me the Duke of the country?”
Zhang Wen showed a firm look on his face and nodded.
When Fang Xiu heard this, his expression became a little strange.
He also thought that it would be good if the emperor could not bear grudges against him.
Unexpectedly, he actually made himself the Duke of the country.
Think again of what happened to King Kang yesterday.
He was relieved again.
It seems that both King Kang and His Majesty the Emperor of Chu understand their good intentions
. Please let the prince do what he wants.
Nothing matters.
Fang Xiu thought this and was about to tell Xiu’er to eat hot pot today.
Suddenly something occurred to him, and he changed his words: “Xiu’er, I won’t eat the hot pot today. I’ll tell the people in the house to prepare a banquet. Master, I am the Duke of the country now, and those people are not allowed to give gifts!”
“”
” “
When Xiu’er and Zhang Wen heard this, they both stood there with confused faces. For a moment, they didn’t know what to say.
This
young master was granted the title of Duke of the Kingdom, and his first reaction was to hold a banquet and receive gifts?
Fang Xiu saw their expressions, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said angrily: “What’s wrong? Ordinary people have to hold a banquet after passing the exam, marrying a wife, and so on. This young master has been granted the title of Duke, which is a first-class It’s such a big thing, so what about a banquet?”
At this point, he paused and said seriously: “You are not a family member, you don’t know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. Recently, coal mining and Baolefang have run out of money. Banquet, collect some money.
Those civil and military officials are like sponges, even if they squeeze four or five times, they can still squeeze out some money.”
At this point, a smile appeared on his face. He had already begun to think about how much money he could collect. He waved his hand and said: “This matter is settled. Let Chunfeng Tower prepare it. The dishes used do not need to be too good.
Those princes and nobles usually have a lot of delicious food .
It’s good to eat something light every now and then, and
let the servants look at you. If you bring gifts, it’s a businessman coming to congratulate you. That’s human nature, and it’s acceptable.
Everyone who comes is a guest. Are they all guests?”
“
”
There was another silence.
After a while, Xiu’er’s clear voice sounded: “Yes, Master!”
Several major events have happened in Kyoto Prefecture in recent days.
There is a lively atmosphere everywhere.
The same thing happened in the grassland tribes.
However, for the grassland tribes, they are reluctant to accept such excitement.
This excitement comes at a huge price!
Needless to say, the most exciting things among them are also known to all the tribes.
The Qiyan tribe actually surrendered to the Chu court!
The emperor of the Qiyan tribe, Qiyan Xiong, was imprisoned.
The current leader of the Qiyan tribe is Qiyan Xiong’s daughter, Qiyan Yanran.
Qiyan Yanran accepted the canonization from the Great Chu court and became a duke of some kind, called Qiyan Gong.
In the past few days, people often saw carriages and carriages carrying food and weapons from the four northern states to the Qiyan tribe.
In addition, people from the Shenji Battalion were stationed next to the Qiyan Department.
A total of three thousand people.
Although there was no movement.
But all the tribes knew that the Shenji Battalion stationed near the Qiyan tribe definitely had other intentions, and it was not just monitoring the activities of the Qiyan tribe.
The Qiyan tribe accepted the conditions of the Great Chu court and became part of the Great Chu, not just because of the food and weapons.
There must be more transactions behind this.
But no one knows exactly what this deal is.
All tribes are extremely nervous and are always on guard against the Qiyan tribe.
However, more than a month passed.
There was no movement from the Qiyan Department.
Everyone thought that this incident was over.
Something that shocked the entire grassland happened suddenly!
